Korean tabloid Dispatch strikes again though it usually breaks these kinds of news at the beginning of the year rather than a lazy day in early August. But still, nice to have some positive update to share about rather than criminal misconduct and shady shit. Kang Daniel, leader of Wanna One and winner of Produce 101 boy edition, and also … Continue reading →

The Asia Artist Awards are the true purveyors of a popularity contest and if it wasn’t for actors and actresses getting random awards along with the idol and pop stars I’d probably not cover it. This year the highlight was the four very very famous idol-actresses above showing up at the same event – IU in white, Suzy in grey-moss, … Continue reading →

BTS celebrating at the Billboard Music Awards.

It’s unfortunate what was a super successful year for top K-pop groups BTS and TWICE reaching year end with a controversy, and one that appears not to be going away quickly.

Looks like everyone can slowly go back to their regularly scheduled programming now after a whirlwind week of scandal on a fast-track scale. I think from when the allegations against Tzuyu of Korean girl group TWICE for being pro Taiwanese independence first broke, the whole cycle took around one week and was one of the most intense and widespread I’ve … Continue reading →

I was hoping this debacle wouldn’t have grown as big as it now has and I wouldn’t have to write about it, because this whole thing is insane for how something so not wrong and inconsequential turned into a political affair. New JYP girl group TWICE member Tzuyu (Chou Tzu Yu) was forced to issue a videotaped apology where she emphasized … Continue reading →

Korean music idols are a dime a dozen and it take the exception from the normal cross-over into acting for me to take notice. I’ve broken from the trend here because the Taiwanese media, and to the same extent the Korean media, is all over this brand new idol girl who is just north of 16 years old. New Korean … Continue reading →
