Cheating Male Star, Gay Idols, and Variety Popularity Discord (with guesses)

May 2013

1. Top star A is in a slump these days. Up until a while ago, he's been double dating top stars B and C, even going on vacation to Japan with B, but it seems that both relationships have come to an end. C had actually been overheard revealing to her associates that "A is just a sexual partner, the relationship is not problematic for me." To make matters worse, A was canceled out of a drama that he was originally cast in with a fellow labelmate. One industry insider said, "A lot of people think it's unfortunate the situation A is in but unlike the clean image he's known for, he's actually quite different on the inside."

A: Lee Min Ho
B: Park Min Young
C: Shin Se Kyung

2. There's been a lot of talk about idol group member D and his sexual preference. Unlike his idol peers whose main interest seem to lie in dating other girl group members, he hasn't shown any interest at all in girls period. Not only that, but his personality is said to be quite feminine as well. One insider said, "Just look at the way he acts. He's more feminine than most women. He acts in a feminine manner in such a way that most men wouldn't be able to pull off naturally." A few other idol group members aside from D are receiving the same suspicions and there's one thing that they all have in common: unlike most groups who dorm together, these members were designated their own separate dorm since their trainee days.

D: Sungjong

3. Known as the queen of scandals, E has been quiet lately. E has been in quite a many scandals herself since her debut due to her large network of celebrity friends. She's been quite for a few years now and it's said to be because she's lost herself in religion. While becoming more and more religious, she's supposedly relearned the importance of remaining pure before marriage and has been living a sex free life for years now.

E: Ryeowon

4. Top star F and rumors regarding his family have been spreading like wildfire on the internet. According to the rumors, F's father in law was once a radical religious sect leader who caused a stir in society in the past. After using his religious influence to gain power and money, he was eventually indicted for fraud before he moved away overseas. Whether or not it's true, the rumors are spreading as fast as F's fame.

F: Psy

5. It's easy for discord to arouse between members of one group the more a particular member has individual activities. Since last year, G's been active in many variety shows and his popularity has been on the rise. His image as a variety star has become stronger than his image as a singer, diluting his group's presence in the industry. The other members are supposedly angered over this, but it doesn't seem like G will be giving up variety shows any time soon. G's agency is preparing a new album release for the group right now so both sides are in quite the predicament. Fortunately for G, he's gaining a lot of fans for his warm personality. [TN: The main hint here is that they use 'pugeunhan' to describe him and while it does mean warm/friendly, it's also used to describe chubby people.]

G: Shindong

6. Beautiful star H's love for animals is said to be crossing the line. H is known for her fox-like aegyo, and recently it's been found that she's requested to change the dates for her international pictorials for the fashion brand she models for several times. As it turned out, the requests were because of none other than her dog. Because she couldn't find someone to look after him, she pissed a lot of staff off with her constant requests for date changes. Associates at the time said, "We're all busy people, why do we have to switch around an international schedule that's already too tight to begin with just because of a dog? Are we less than dogs?"

H: Han Ye Seul

1. [+227, -9] I'll come back at lunch time, everyone....

2. [+138, -11] So many alphabets, I'm so confused..

3. [+126, -27] (lists all of the celebrity names)... This is what netizens have guessed so far. But I don't think D and G are right but there aren't any other names being mentioned at the moment.
- I feel like Kyuhyun would fit more as G than Shindong.
- G could also be Kwanghee
- B might actually be Park Min Young?

4. [+22, -1] For D, I can only think of Sungjong ㅋ I remember in 1vs100, L said that Sungjong has his own room after a game of rock paper scissors.. and he seems really feminine on weekly idol.

5. [+22, -4] I can only think of Sungjong for feminine male idols...

Celebrity Diseased Actresses, Copy Cat Idols, MC Breaking Out of his Shell (with guesses)

May 2013

Article: Entertainment Radar = Top star disease actress A, innocent girl B's film set disruption?

Source: Sports Seoul via Nate

1. Female actress A who's caught the 'top star disease' is awaiting her first drama appearance in a while. A always pretentiously say that she was a "movie star" and considered dramas beneath her. Her self-proclaimed movie title doesn't seem to be working now that she's aged, as she hasn't been receiving any love calls recently, forcing her to turn to drama appearances. For years, she rejected drama castings so the decision is obviously one made with careful consideration. Unfortunately for the drama producers, her sensitive and highly emotional personality is starting to reflect on the set. One insider said, "Drama filmings are generally physically difficult. When we heard that she was cast, we all wondered if she'd be able to handle it. It's not only her first appearance in a while, but the production set is definitely not on par with what she's probably expecting. We're all worried whether A will go on an unannounced hiatus."

2. Beautiful top star B is treating every associate she meets with her 'true colors' unlike the innocent beauty she's known to be. She not only ignores the orders of her drama's directors but even changes the script just because she doesn't like how it's written, forcing the film set to be delayed. When senior female actress C started to receive more attention, B actually had the audacity to nag and order C around. It appears that her attitude is carrying over even to the movie film set, as staff reported that they felt her haughty attitude in the way she treated them. When a director who she's been friends with for a while now carefully told her, "I think it'd be good if you acted in such and such way for this scene", she fired back at him, "Director, how about you worry about yourself first."

3. Popular idol star D recently bought a large foreign SUV to copy fellow idol star E. The car is a well loved brand among top stars. Once D found out that E had recently upgraded his sedan to an SUV, D deliberated over the purchase before finally purchasing a different car under the same brand. However, some insiders said, "D doesn't match that car at all......." The reason being that the huge car doesn't fit D's small stature at all. 
Netizens say it's B2ST's JunHyung

4. Broadcast star F has recently been receiving attention for his relentless way of speech, but it seems he wasn't born with that talent overnight. One insider who knows about F's past revealed, "I remember a few years ago he was so nervous that his hands would shake while just holding the script. We had to re-record his parts several times. It was troubling to see... He was really shy, especially moreso in front of women. Lately, however, he's become a new person." F is actually playing with veteran and more experienced MC G in the palm of his hands on variety programs. "He overcame his difficulties and now he's not scared or shy to say even stronger things on air."

Netizen's  Comments:
1. [+152, -34]
A = Kim Ok Bin
B = Soo Ae
C = Kim Sung Ryung
D = No one cares
F = Lee Soo Geun
G = Kang Ho Dong

2. [+123, -7] Soo Ae is a psycho. What's ridiculous is that when she was in a scandal with Yang Dong Geun in the past, she should've just been named the nation's b*tch but that scandal was buried. She's notorious for being a b*tch on the film set. She refused to go to the awards ceremony just because she didn't receive a Daesang for A Thousand Days' Promise... It's amazing how she still has a career left. She's a bigger b*tch than T-ara if you look at it this way.

3. [+99, -8] I have a feeling B = Soo Ae

4. [+64, -5] We all know Soo Ae's a b*tch and that she's known for not greeting seniors even 10 years ago because it in the news. It was so bad that the news didn't even bother censoring her name and just named her straight up.

5. [+42, -5] Could D be Yong Junhyung and E G-Dragon? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+16, -7] F could be Radio Star's Kyuhyun?? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+15, -1] I don't think A is Kim Ok Bin... I remember reading an article about her continuing filming even after rupturing a ligament. She couldn't possibly have a celebrity disease.

The Most Ridiculous Overnight Rumor

May 2013

Source: Instiz: The most legendary of all rumors that sparked and died overnight ㅋㅋㅋ

The start of the controversy began in DC Gallery when someone wrote up an account saying that they spotted Im Jaebum at the TOEIC testing center.

Journalists then jumped the gun and put out an onslaught of articles talking about how he was spotted taking the TOEIC test.

Then other netizens started writing up their own fan accounts of supposedly seeing him at the TOEIC testing center too. One of the best replies on a Nate article about it was even, "Im Jaebum sat right behind me when we were taking the TOEIC."

It eventually got on to the main page of Daum.
 

Journalists then started making up their own stories, putting out articles with Im Jaebum interviews (when he had never in fact given them interviews) talking about his TOEIC experience.
Article: Im Jaebum takes the TOEIC test "I've been studying consistently all this while"

Article: Im Jaebum takes the TOEIC?... "I've been studying English ahead of my American filming"

Eventually, Im Jaebum came out with a statement the same day saying, "I heard that I apparently took the TOEIC. Unfounded rumors! I was at home resting, eating, and taking a break. That is all."

Talented Singer Has Sex with Every Member of K-Pop Girl Group

May 2013

1. There is a born womanizer among K-Pop stars. Talented singer "A" is famous for his promiscuous privacy. "A" had sex with every member of girl group "B" and filmed all of it. Can you beat it! The girl group's agency became aware that "A" was toying with the members and discarded all the pornography videos. Well, even after that, "A" is still leading a disorderly life. He has sex on the brain.

2. K-Pop girl group member "C" couldn't care less about other people. "C" is one of the most prominent K-Pop star and has become the most desired TV commercial actress. However, she doesn't know how to behave and has not the decency to say "Thank you." She's habitually late for the filming without a word of apology. She thinks she's the best at the field, but others usually speak ill of her behind her back.

3.Here is another rumor about "C". "C" had an affair with her best friend's boyfriend. Of course, her friend "D" and the boyfriend "E" are also famous K-Pop stars. It is more shocking because "C" usually pretended to be friendly with "D" on various TV programs. Shouldn't she open eyes to her faults?

Off the Record (with guesses)

June 2013

1. H recently rose to the top star level, but despite being at the peak of his popularity, his career seems to be high risk due to the dangerous things he's prone to saying. He was recently spotted being scolded by his agency CEO for saying something that crossed the line. H's confidence is soaring lately due to the amount of praise he's been receiving for his work, but that doesn't stop him from making everyone around him uncomfortable with his spontaneous and 4-dimensional statements. He apparently only says them to loosen up the tension but people would rather prefer that he considers their feelings before throwing out over the top statements like that. 

Popular girl group member A briefly dated him but said after they broke up, "He's only charming through the small screen. He's so-so once you actually date him/get to know him..."

2. There was one contestant in the '2013 Miss Korea' competition who was labeled the 'ugly' contestant of the group. Photo journalists didn't plan to act as a group or anything but not one of them released any pictures of her to the media, presumably because they predicted that her ugly visuals would get nothing but hate if they indeed released them. It may look like the journalists boycotted her, but she should remember that it might actually be in her favor!

3. Actress C isn't all that unique or has any daebak hits, nor is she all that talented at acting, but she's made quite the comfortable career for herself without any big hardships. She's even dated a few popular male co-stars. The secret seems to be her 'erotic looks' that captivate everyone. People say that every single one of her actions attract the attention of males. For example, in photoshoots, she'll overact on requested poses that make males can't help but stare at her. Eroticism like that isn't something you can get through plastic surgery so how lucky for her to be born with it!

4. Audition program contestant D recently earned attention for her upgraded beauty. Her secret was none other than getting some work done at a beauty clinic in Gangnam but she's been found denying the fact, claiming instead that she merely 'dieted' and 'managed herself' to achieve her new looks. Plastic surgery isn't something to be ashamed of anymore! Be more honest with yourself, or at least don't make your plastic surgery so obvious...

Idol Rumors Time!

T-ara
Jiyeon
Is a heavy drinker. Before and after the scandal.

Hyomin
Her family has disowned her for being associated with the dating club. Possibilities of her being falsely accused are very likely, but CCM is taking no action to clear this particular accusation with press release. Among all the members she has suffered the most- loss of income, disregard from management and her family’s condemnation. Her father was initially against her choice of career, but eventually accepted her wishes once he knew that she would continue her education.

Eunjung
CCM was informed by the producers that Eunjung’s participation in the drama Five Fingers was still lying on uncertain grounds till after the press release. CCM DID acknowledge the producers decision, but they back-tracked once the makers made an official announcement about Eunjung’s replacement in press.

Big Bang
G-Dragon is the one who has issues with certain members of Super Junior and these issues date back to the time he was trainee at SM Entertainment. Animosity between him and certain member blew out of proportion in 2009. G-Dragon was not just close to BOA he was also very close to Taeyeon, but the never dated. Many of you assume that might still be a junkie, but from what I have heard he has remained clean since his marijuana controversy. He is not bi-sexual. He is said to be just friends with Kiko Mizuhara till date. He has developed a disgruntled attitude as well as a chip on his shoulders due to limitation he has received as an artist. During his trainee days in SM he had a group of friends which included Gyuri (Kara) and Lee Yeon Hee. Gyuri was also friends with Junsu and Eunhyuk. The rumors about her link-up with Kim Junsu before KARA’s debut was based on this, because his saessang fans were prior witnesses of their late night hang outs. Whether she dated Junsu or not during her trainee days is not known. The rumor about her being in long term relationship with a non-celebrity is not true.

T.O.P
has been very close to Lee Yeon Hee since the time they worked together for Bean Pole CF. I have no other information about these two.

Super Junior (not giving names sorry)
Member A who has been active in SJ and SJ-M has been giving his agency a really tough time. Apparently, he doesn’t want to be a part of SJ- M even though he is one of the popular members. He has even gone around bad-mouthing his SJ-M management and certain members of the group for receiving more opportunities. His bad attitude went a bit too far when a group of foreign hosts (4 men and 1 woman in gag costumes) arrived at SM H.O (Korea) for an interview with the idols. He was extremely unpleasant during the recording and while off-camera he kept cursing at the interviewers in Korean, even calling the woman in the group a transgender. Many of those who have known idol member A for a long time say that he was never difficult and ill-mannered, but changed drastically after he started working more actively abroad. Reason being that he doesn’t like the way his career has unfolded and because he wants more solo projects especially in Korea.


Girl Group 01
Member L from a popular girl group has not been on friendly terms with her management, staff and fellow members (everything is strictly professional). Member L was told to go under the knife when she received a drama offer late last year. She was not keen on receiving the role and more so did not want to go through any plastic surgery procedure. She was also told that she was going to work on a musical project once she finishes filming all her parts. However, when she became adamant about the role and the surgical procedure her agency threatened her pull her off the musical project. So she went along with the agency’s decision. She was miserable with the initial surgical result and to make matters worse Member K who was also a part of the musical project requested the agency to replace L from the project with M, because L was unprofessional and argumentative during rehearsals. The agency also decided that it would be more profitable if they released the project earlier then planned. To top that Member K felt that M was more deserving and the agency agreed. L was told about this change while she was shooting for her show, and as a result she felt she was back-stabbed by everyone involved excluding member M. Collaborative project was an instant surprise hit and L was not happy.

About L and K
K hates working with L. Apparently she didn’t like her even when they were trainees. L and K had major fight last May. Off camera L is known for being closer to her male label mates in comparison to her fellow group members. She is also known for being possessive about her friends and boyfriends. When L found out that a fellow group member N had a crush on her male friend she blew the whole thing out of proportion and causing K to get involved and make peace between the two. It is safe to say the L and N really can’t stand each other of camera and N doesn’t even acknowledge L’s male friend anymore. L also interfered in another member’s relationship which led to more turbulent issues within the group. While L only had one members support the others backed of and 3 members turned against her completely. K and N along with B (K’s confidant)

Hallyu Girl Group
This group has had ups and downs. Lately the center member was not happy with the attention another younger member was getting and during a heated conversation passed a sarcastic comment about the member’s lack of sex appeal in comparison to her own. Well the young member did not take this lightly and snapped back at the older member by saying, “You need to start using anti-aging cream, because day by day you are starting to look like a witch” All hell broke loose between the two and other members of the group including their staff. The older member is now only communicating with one member and not so much with other members.

Food for thought
There is an extremely popular and beautiful idol in the industry that happens to be half Korean and half Vietnamese. Her agency pulled everything possible to keep this information under wrap.

A gorgeous rising actor is known in the industry for being a bi-sexual and he currently dating a stunning female idol. They have even appeared in magazine photo spread together.

THEN....There is a 1994 born idol who is dating an idol 13 years her senior. She also received a pay-cut as a punishment from her agency when they found out about this and is currently being monitored by her manager like a hawk.

Krystal Deletes her Instagram [Bestiz]

May 2013

Bestiz/Instiz: Krystal has eventually deleted her Instagram

If you didn't keep up with the last series of rumor mills , Krystal was included in a blind item about possibly being GD's new love interest because he was following her and "liking" all her pictures on Instagram.

Netizen's Comments:
"Ugh, seems like GD's fans really ragged on her about it."

"I feel bad for her... damn stupid fangirls."

"All of the rumors were just speculations, why would fangirls give her a hard time over that? GD and Soojung are the only ones suffering because of them. I actually enjoyed seeing Soojung's pretty pictures on Instagram."

"I think it has to do with the stupid fans going off about her rumors with GD but also the fact that her account was almost hacked several times. Krystal asked the hacker to stop on her profile before and then stopped updating before deleting it completely."

"I'm a GD fan but had no idea about this. Honestly speaking, weren't Krystal fans going crazier about this than GD's fans? They were the ones making all those posts bragging about how GD is following her on Instagram at first."

"The recent Bestiz posts show Krystal fans being way more over the board over this than GD's. They were all demanding that he unfollow her, etc."

"If Krystal was harassed to this point with just an Instagram follow, I wonder how much harassment Kiko is getting..."

"Seems like a combination of fans harassing her and trying to hack her account that led to her just deleting it."

"Fangirls, no matter how hard you try, Krystal or GD will never date any of you so stop harassing innocent people."

"I feel like it was Krystal's female fans that were really egging on a relationship with GD. Delusional."

"I just looked at f(x)'s DC Gallery and GD is being so hated there right now, jeez ㅋㅋㅋ"

Female Idol's Obsession Over her Idol Boyfriend and Former Lovers Reunite in a Drama

April 2013

1. Girl group sexy member A is said to be absolutely desperate to make it known to the public that she's dating fellow idol singer B. According to a few industry insiders, A has been dating B for two years now and has lately been worried about B possibly leaving her for another girl. She's been overheard telling all of her close associates about her relationship with B, even asking, "Do you have any advice so that B doesn't run away from me?" One insider said, "B very well knows about A's obsession over him and it seems he's getting tired of this side of her. They seem to be on the verge of breaking up soon."
Netizens think it's SHINee's Onew and After School's JungAh

2. Every actress these days seems to have impeccably clean skin due to the amount of facial treatments they get to look pretty for the HD screen. Actress C herself is well known for her beautiful skin, having worked as a cosmetics CF in the past, but recently her skin has taken a turn for the worst, leading her to give up a role in a drama. As it turned out, C doesn't have the beautiful skin she's known for and had to go through much post-process editing to achieve her look. The drama she was originally cast for deemed it impossible to edit everything and fit her into their tight schedule. Fortunately, her CF contracts didn't seem to have a problem with her skin problems, as she's signed on for another year with them.

3. There seems to be a possibility of former lovers D and E reuniting in a drama. A few years ago, the two starred in the same drama and came out as real lovers. At the time, D had a longtime girlfriend whom he was dating but broke up with for E. Unfortunately, not too long after, D and E broke up as well. D was recently cast in a new drama and E is currently in discussion for a leading role as his partner. The problem is that D's a married man now, which leads to many questioning whether D will be able to work with her without rekindling old feelings.

4. With the competition between viewer ratings getting fiercer by the day, scriptwriters are increasingly becoming sensitive to the opinions of viewers an d netizens. One of the most sensitive scriptwriters is well known for checking the netizen responses to her drama in real time and changing the script according to their views. As long as the viewers want it, she'll kill off a character or bring a character back, sometimes even flipping the original ending over completely. Other scriptwriters, however, have cut themselves off from the internet completely to focus on their script. Recently, scriptwriter F said in an interview that she had no idea how controversial her drama had become because she never went online to check. A broadcast official said, "From the viewpoint of a producer, we see it as a fortunate thing that she didn't know because we're sure she would've gone weak hearted and changed things around."

5. Singer C, who's actively promoting in various variety shows, was recently harshly reprimanded by senior variety star D. This isn't the first time he was called out by a senior, as he was previously yelled at by senior E for his lack of patience and whiny personality. For the same reason, D reprimanded C saying, "Work harder." C, if you wish to become a professional, you should probably stop whining so much.
