Exclusive: Inside the Femme Fresh celebrity Halloween Havoc Bash!

Last night was Halloween, and for popular Idols there were only two places to be: SM Entertainment's annual A-list Happy Halloween Gala Ball at the Samsung Tower in Seoul City, or Pyong & Pyong's Femme Fresh Halloween Havoc Bash, held at a private residence in Busan.

Luckily, AllKFlop got an exclusive offer to cover all the action at the Halloween Havoc Bash, which was hosted by Korea's own Pyong & Pyong to celebrate the success of their Femme Fresh Forest Fruits Vaginal Spritzers campaign.

Unlike SM Entertainment's Happy Halloween Gala Ball, there weren't any glitzy red carpets or paparazzi flashbulbs at Halloween Havoc, which was so exclusive that it required all guests to enter through the back door of the venue to keep the atmosphere of the invite-only event private and discreet.

But don't worry netizens, because AllKFlop still got all the goss - including the star-studded guest-list! Obvious attendees were the stars of the Forest Fruits campaign -- 5Dolls' Chanmi, SECRET's Sunhwa, Piggy Dolls' Kim Min Sun, and Girls' Revolution's Jessica Jiyeon (who provided the music for the CF) -- as well as their respective band and labelmates, which included top CCM stars like T-ara and Davichi.

Other A-list celebrity guests in attendance included SNSD's Hyoyeon, former U-Kiss singer Kibum, Nine Muses' Hyemi with former member Bini, RaNia, SISTAR's Soyu, After School's graduated member Bekah, Brave Brothers and Brave Girls, Boyfriend, B1A4, Kan Mi Youn, JYJ, Chocolat's Tia and Melanie, f(x)'s Luna, rising rookie groups Blady and Swing Girls, Hip-Hop trio Clover, Baek Ji Young, the cast of Busan Heights, and 2AM's Jo-Kwon, who served as the official MC of the night.

Jessica Jiyeon lived up to her reputation as Korea's 'Best Friend Idol' by arriving with a small army of her pals, Hyuna Knowles', Suzy Sooyoung, Wonder Girls' Yenny and Christina, and even miss A's Fei, but the real shock was when top American stars Shontelle and Tara Reid showed up, proving that K-Pop truly is the most recognized and respected style of music in the USA, and perhaps even the entire world now.

Idols began enjoying themselves the moment the party got started, guzzling down endless shots of alcohol and sharing horror stories about their respective agencies. Jessica Jiyeon, who was dressed as a Japanese Geisha, kept to herself most of the night, relaxing on a lounge with the 5Dolls and happily chatting with her girlfriends Fei, Yenny, and Christina, but at one point she got up to sing an acapella version of her hit Femme Fresh theme song "Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe". The rendition was met with applause, but f(x)'s Luna had to be escorted out by security after having too much to drink and angrily challenging Jessica to a vocal battle in front of the other guests.

More drama ensued when a disheveled-looking Tiffany Taeyeon arrived late and caused a scene after security denied her entry for not being on time, resulting in Jessica and the Pyong & Pyong CEO Ham Guk having to come outside to convince security to let the angry star in. Once inside, Tiffany made a beeline straight for T-ara's table, gossiping loudly with Eunjung and Hyomin and refusing to speak to anybody else other than the popular girl group and her White Entertainment labelmates. Scandal later ensued when Eunjung and Hyomin -- with the rest of T-ara and Tiffany in tow -- tried to leave to head to another party, but were abruptly stopped by CCM guards who sternly instructed T-ara that they were required to stay to support labelmate Chanmi; Tiffany and Jiyeon were quick to blame Boram for the "misunderstanding", before heading back to their table with the rest of the group, while CCM CEO Kim Kwang Soo took Boram into a back room for a harsh scolding.

Things took a brighter turn when HyunA Knowles, dressed as her idol Nicki Minaj, livened up the party atmosphere by impersonating Nicki's famous raps and vowing to land a role in any future sequels to Slumdog Millionaire. She later took some of the male guests upstairs to show them her ancient Indian massage techniques, reliving and relaxing the stressed-out idols with her healing charms.

Out of all the guests at the party, it was Suzy Sooyoung who attracted the most attention thanks to her excessive drinking and eye-catching Frida Kahlo costume. The idol left partygoers speechless by grinding suggestively on the dancefloor with her close friends Sunhwa and Hyosung, while a tired Song Ji Eun slept soundly in spare bedroom. The outrageous trio later poured drinks into each other's mouths -- resulting in a wild applause from the other guests -- and then invaded the men's toilets to play pranks on some unsuspecting male idols.

Overall, it was a thrilling fun-filled night, and one that AllKFlop won't soon forget. SM Entertainment's Happy Halloween Gala Ball may have had a load of bells & whistles with all the publicity, expensive champagne and finger food, and top Idol stars like Yoona, Dara, Yunho, Sohee, and Siwon, but the guests at the Halloween Havoc Bash proved that they didn't need all the glitz & glamour in order to have a good time, and that's really what's important.

Jessica Jiyeon reveals her male idol connections on Idol Closet

Jessica Jiyeon gave viewers a peek into her personal life on last night’s episode of Idol Closet.

“I’ve always been a tomboy at heart. Growing up my closest friends were mostly guys.” Jessica revealed to Alan Kwon, Taejun, & Ryo Min Ri, “Most girls are too catty & competitive. I’m not about that. You’ll find me playing video games or football vs. obsessing over make-up or who’s dating who.”

The power vocalist went on to list the male idols she shares a close relationship with.

U-Kiss’ Kevin, AJ, Eli & Soohyun: “I met Kevin back when he was in XING & AJ shortly before PARAN disbanded."

"Eli & I are from the same city {Washington, D.C.} and we both attended the same middle school, so we like to joke that we’re cousins. I've been close with Soohyun since we were JYP trainees together.”

B2ST’s Doo Joon & Jun Hyung: “It’s the same situation with Doo Joon & Jun Hyung, as it is with Soohyun & Kevin {ex JYP trainee & XING member, respectively}.”

“Doo Joon is the closest thing to a little brother I have. I love him immensely and I will always support B2ST because of him.”

2AM’s Jinwoon & Jo Kwon: “I’m close with all four, but working with Jinwoonie & Jo Kwon on “Rocker Princess” brought us closer together.”

2PM’s Taecyeon & Wooyoung: “Can I clear something up? Any rumors of a relationship between Taec & me are ridiculous! I mean, I do love his ears & his chocolate abs, but he’s one of my best friends and I would never cross that line. It’s amazing how the tabloids can turn an innocent picture of two people grabbing coffee into a relationship.”

“Wooyoung is my little clown. He never fails to make me smile or laugh. I actually entered JYP as a trainee with him & Doo Joon, so our bond is unbreakable.”

Big Bang’s Daesung: “I actually met him on the set of “My Bike, Your Bike” long before I started dating Teddy, and we've always stayed close. My heart breaks for all he’s been through this year. Daesung FIGHTING!”

Actor Kim Soo Hyun: “We became fast friends while shooting Aphrodite’s Tears, where we played the younger versions of Hyun Bin & Song Hye-Kyo. I’m so proud of him & what he’s been able to achieve because of Dream High.”

Former F.Cuz main vocalist Lee-U: "There's two things Lee-U is better at than me: taking gorgeous selcas & “World Of Warcraft”! We actually met at a WoW expansion pack launch party in Tokyo.”

JYJ: “I know I’m going to cause some kind of scandal with Cassies worldwide, but I’ve never been necessarily close to Yunho sunbaenim. Whenever I was around DBSK, he would give me the cold shoulder while Yoochun, Junsu, & Jaejoong oppas were always open & warm. Max is sweet but ever since DBSK split I haven’t had any contact with him.”

“I think the five of them are handsome & talented but I guess I chose a side a long time ago.”

Taejun caught the singer off guard by asking which, if any, of the idols she would be most open to date.

“Aigoo!” Jessica screamed, covering her face “None of them!”

After prodding from the hosts, she relented: “Wow…if I have to choose…maybe…Kim Soo Hyun. Oh no!” Jessica answered as the audience went wild. “Wait! Wait! Just change it to Taecyeon! I don’t want any phone calls! I’ll never be able to face either of them now!”

Ryo Min Ri moved on to the hot issue of Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe’s resurrection & the ever growing popularity of the Femme Fresh: Forest Fruits CF.

“When they first told me that the song was going to be used for the CF I was a bit against the idea, to be honest. I didn't want it to be associated with…you know.” the singer laughed as she mimed spraying downward. “But once I saw the final product, I was amazed at the amount of CGI that was used on Min Sun, Sunhwa, & Chanmi hubaes. It was like a big budget monster movie! But for lady parts...and 30 seconds long.”

Jessica concluded the broadcast alongside the fearless hosts, who performed a gag version of her hit song “Bad Girl”, in full drag.

Netizens commented on Jessica’s revelations: “I knew she wanted Taecyeon!!! No one can resist his ears! I’m surprised she didn’t just play it safe & choose Jo Kwon LOL”, “She’s friends with everyone at JYP pretty much. Why is she at White??”, “I wonder what Soo Hyun oppa is going to say when he finds out Jessica chose him. I loved them together on Aphrodite’s Tears.”, “WHOA @ that ending! Taejun hyung makes a pretty hot woman ^-^”

Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe makes a chart comeback!

Back in June, 'Best Friend Idol' Jessica Jiyeon released her debut solo single "Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe". The single -- with its heavy use of auto-tune, excessive repetitiveness, & mostly rapped lyrics -- peaked briefly on the GAON charts at #23 before vanishing out of sight. The song was met with a mixed reaction from Girls' Revolution fans, and was savaged by critics who labeled it "generic trash".

But as of late, the song seems to be experiencing an unexpected resurgence in popularity.

A remixed version of "Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe" was recently used in the popular CF for Pyong & Pyong's new range of fruit-scented vaginal hygiene spritzers, Femme Fresh: Forest Fruits. The CF, which stars Piggy Dolls' Kim Min Sun, SECRET's Sunhwa, and 5Dolls' Chanmi, has gained wide exposure throughout Asia and has become a 'hot issue' with netizens, causing digital sales of "Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe" to skyrocket.

Speaking on the song's revival, White Entertainment Co-CEO KellyRose Spires said:

“When we first had Jessica record Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe, our agency was in a time of turmoil," she reveals. "Girls' Revolution were on an indefinite hiatus, Suzy had been suspended, and Tiffany was overseas on an extended holiday. Jessica was all we had left, so Trina forced her to record an empowering song with lots of autotune to try and cash in on the popular American trend of inspirational pop music. The song flopped because Jessica's fans were angry that we hid her powerful vocals behind electronic effects, so we quickly moved onto OST ballads and forgot all about it. I can't explain why it's suddenly popular again, but I am happy that people are finally seeing the song's unique colors and charms."

“I think there are some songs that are colossal from the jump & stick around, like SNSD’s Gee. And then there‘s some songs that are slow growers. Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe is a slow grower, and we plan on capitalizing on the new-found interest surrounding it.”

Both the original version of the song & the Euro-Trash Clique remix -featured on Jessica’s hit debut solo mini album Girl Without A Heart- have found chart success, with the original version reentering the GAON singles chart at #44, while the remix is currently sitting at #17. Unfortunately, Jessica's current title track, "Bad Girl", has been on a chart free-fall after initially making a high first-week debut. The poor performance has been attributed to its ban from KBS and major radio stations, but its failure has been offset by the rising sales for "Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe".

With "Bad Girl" being banned and "Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe" becoming a hot issue overnight, could we possibly see Jessica re-promote the song soon? Keep an eye on AKF for more.

KBS strike again: Jessica Jiyeon's "Bad Girl" gets banned!

Today KBS unexpectedly announced that they would be banning the MV for Jessica Jiyeon’s new single “Bad Girl” due to its scenes of "extreme violence" & "gratuitous overt sexuality".

The video, which features a heartless Jessica seeking revenge against a brutal ex lover, has received acclaim for its cinematic style & rich plot, while also attracting attention for its use of impoverished local Japanese street children as extras.

White Entertainment Co-CEO KellyRose Spires spoke out about the MV’s ban:

“The banning is absolutely ridiculous! This is just another example of ScaM Entertainment using KBS to do their dirty work! Had we cast their precious Siwon or Yunho as the lead in the MV, do you think it would have been banned? Of course not! They’re deliberately attacking us because of Junsu’s involvement. Jessica wanted Junsu, so we got her Junsu. What our girls want, our girls get! Why punish Jessica for that?”

“Didn’t INFINITE have a MV of two of their members beating each other up?? Didn’t Brown Eyed Girls have a MV containing pornographic lesbonic kissing scenes & Islamic terrorism references with bombs being strapped to people? Were either of those banned? KBS are hypocrites & SM’s puppets, and to be quite honest, we don’t need their help pushing this song.”

"Jessica recorded an album of high quality with a bold and adventurous concept," Kelly continued. "She dared to step outside the box by releasing a cinematic mini-movie music video that is more than just dancing in front of a tired old backdrop that we've all seen a thousand times before. I'm sorry if that's too much for the masses to deal with, but if you're looking to see grown women dancing around like childish, 'Happy Days' rejects singing about crushes on shy boys, then you've come to the wrong place."

The controversy has done little to stop momentum: the MV has already been viewed over 2 million times on Youtube by its 5th day of release, Bad Girl debuted at #2 on the GAON singles chart, while Girl Without A Heart debuted at #4 on the album chart, and has been consistently charting within the top five of most digital charts during its first week of release.

HyunA Knowles is not happy with the girl group rush!

During a sit-down interview on MBC's Radio Star, HyunA Knowles was asked about her opinions on this October's girl group rush.

"I'm not happy about it," she answered. Apparently, the singer is afraid of being overshadowed by rookie girl groups such as Swing Girls, Stellar, and Blady. She continued, "It's not the big girl groups that make me feel annoyed, it's the rookie girl groups that are debuting these days."

"Girl group such as BEG, KARA, and SNSD are like my inspirations. I always love to try whatever they did when they're promoting. My "So Scandalous" concept was inspired by BEG's Abracadabra concept. BEG used a hot shirtless Korean guy in the video, I used full naked hairy Indian man in my video. BEG do that hip dance moves, I used my signature dance move: poochie pop. Ga-in unnie dances in a zebra printed bikini; you've seen my version in frog printed latex bodysuit, right? Just so you know, I was supposed to use Narsha unnie's old bob wig for the video, but I ditched it because it makes my head look so big."

"I'm not saying that I plagiarized their concept," she stated defiantly when met with a raised eyebrow by Star King host Ham Yeung. "Like I said before, I took inspirations. They are two different things."

On rookie girl groups that have debuted and will be debuting as her competitors, HyunA said, "I love Chocolat. Melanie, Tia, Juliane, and I are friends. I don't know about the other two girls, but I don't see Chocolat as my competitor. We both are talented girls that are waiting for our moment to shine."

"I see Swing Girls, Stellar, and Blady as my competitors," she continued. "Especially Swing Girls and Stellar. Don't you think Swing Girls' concept is the best debut concept ever? Even now, I'm still regreting why didn't I debut with 33 sized jeans concept, even though I think that concept will suit better for Piggy Dolls."

"And Stellar's concept is just as good as Swing Girls. Colourful fake plastic hair with auto-tuned futuristic themed song? I bet 2NE1 are dying to use that concept too."

When being asked whether she knows about upcoming girl group called C-REAL, HyunA answered, "I know Cereal. I heard that their concept is 5 IU mini-mes. Is that true? How am I supposed to live with 5 IUs? One IU is already a huge threat for me. And they have five IU? Seriously? I hate them!"

"Well, I have to admit that their name is brilliant. Cereal is such a commercial name. If I started a new group, I'd love to come out with names like Corn Flakes, Niggals, or Monkey Dolls. Aren't they cute?"

HyunA Knowles will be taking her "Gurlz" goodbye stages this week, beginning with M! Countdown.

Jessica Jiyeon releases “Girl Without A Heart”

Jessica Jiyeon’s much anticipated debut solo mini album Girl Without A Heart is here!

The vocalist runs the gamut of emotions on her five track mini album: from heartbroken to hopeful to fearless, with each track telling a small part of an overall story.

Love Is? {ft. HyunA Knowles}

-With its honest lyrics & emotional vocals, Love Is? tells the tale of a perfect love gone wrong, and the devastation when one person is able to move on and the other can not. HyunA Knowles adds a tough flavor to an otherwise depressing midtempo with a rap that tugs at the heartstrings.

Bad Girl

-Bad Girl shows off a more aggressive side of Jessica in both message & delivery, as she sings about using both heartbreak & sexuality to “transform” over a piano & synth driven track produced by JD Relic [U-Kiss’ Neverland].

It’s Always Been You {ft. K.Will}

-It’s Always Been You acts as a storybook happy ending in stark contrast to the songs that precede it. The heroine of “Girl…” is finally able to give her heart to another who promises to love & cherish her over delicate strings:

“Even if you’re lonely, exhausted, and hurt

Open up the door in you heart.

I will love everything.

There’s no scar or sadness.

Don’t hesitate and lean on me.

I will give you back your smile.”

Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe [Eurotrash Clique Remix]

-The inspirational uptempo gets a quirky reworking from up & coming Norwegian producers Eurotrash Clique.

Collide [Fan Appreciation Edition]

-A studio version of the Leona Lewis track Jessica performed live during her now infamous visit to Mega Seoul FM with Choi-La & Aok, added as a personal thank you from her to her fans.

Tiffany Taeyeon appointed as new face of Marc Jacobs; shocks with nude ad campaign!

Earlier today American fashion designer Marc Jacobs held a special press conference at his boutique store in Seoul, where he announced that popular idol Tiffany Taeyeon would be the 'face' of his new Fall footwear line for South Korea.

Along with the announcement, Jacobs unveiled the first promotional image from the Fall footwear 'Nothing Else Matters...' advertising campaign, which is bound to send shockwaves through the fashion and music industry due to its racy nudity.

In the outrageous ad, a completely naked Tiffany is seen browsing shoes from the new Fall collection in the Marc Jacobs store. Her back is facing the camera, completely exposing her uncensored buttocks and highlighting her enviable physique, with her only item of clothing being a pair of glowing Marc Jacobs Pink Bottomed Spike Heels.

Despite the ad's overtly sexual nature, many top idols were rumored to be fighting for the gig due to it's 'Top Tier CF' status and lucrative pay. K-Scandal magazine report that G.NA, 4minute's HyunA, Lee Hyori, Brown Eyed Girls' Narsha, Son Dam Bi, Insooni, Dal★Shabet's Seri, Piggy Dolls' leader Kim Min Sun, 2AM's Jo Kwon, Khloe Kardashian, and every member of RaNia put themselves forward for the campaign.

Speaking exclusively about the campaign, Jacobs said, "Many Korean celebrities tried to become the new face of my Fall footwear line, but then later changed their mind due to the bold nature of the concept we were after. Some others just didn't have the edge that we were looking for, while some just looked hideous naked."

"Tiffany Taeyeon was the perfect fit for us," Jacobs continued. "She has the daring attitude that's needed to convey the message of female independence and empowerment that's at the core of this campaign, and she was eager to lose all the weight that we asked her to."

"She was about 44kg when we first saw her, which was just way too fat," said Jacobs with disgust. "So I told her to drop twenty pounds by the end of the week or we'd give the gig to somebody else. Luckily she did it within a couple of days, and we got her down to a healthy and respectable 35kg or so."

Tiffany was also at the press conference to help launch the campaign, and AKF managed to catch her briefly for a quick chat.

"I just love shoes, and Marc Jacobs is one of my favorite designers," she revealed. "I worked out really hard for to get in shape for this campaign, and I even got some more surgeries, so I hope you enjoy what you see."

"I wasn't concerned about the nudity at all because I know that many people envy and admire my body," she said when asked about the campaign's controversial imagery. "The whole ad was shot done very tastefully and artistically. It's classy nudity. Marc just really wanted all the focus to be on the fabulous new shoes, so we felt that removing all my fancy clothes would help people focus on the actual product, rather than what I'm wearing. But at the end of the day, the ad is really about female strength and empowering women, so I hope any young girls that see this feel bold and confident."

"I'm working on new music, but my other goal is to become the No. 1 CF Queen in Asia," Tiffany added. "A CF is such a huge honor, because it means that people are buying product solely because of you and nothing else."

Netizens have been left stunned by Tiffany's controversial new ad, so they rushed to our forum to get a load off their chest.

Comments included, "God, Tiffany will find any excuse to get naked," "I don't know what she's selling, but I'm buying!" "First Jessica Jiyeon's violent MV, and now this? White Entertainment have gone too far," and "Are there any photos taken from the front on?"

Big stars join Jessica Jiyeon for her epic “Bad Girl” MV!

Jessica Jiyeon has officially shattered her nice girl image with the dark & sleek MV for her new single “Bad Girl”!

JYJ’s Junsu and K-R&B legend Insooni guest star in the bloody revenge tale set in the Tokyo underground.

Acclaimed photographer & director Kazuaki Kiriya [best known for his work with Japanese superstar Hikaru Utada, as well as the hit 2009 historical fantasy film Goemon], has crafted a 10 minute mini film that pays homage to both Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill as well as the popular manga and anime, Durarara!!.

In the MV Jessica portrays a dullahan: a legendary headless Irish spirit that wanders the land punishing the wicked. Only in Bad Girl, Jessica is not headless but heartless. She combs the seedy underbelly of Tokyo in search of the man that (literally) stole her heart {Junsu}. Along the way she seeks guidance from a mysterious woman {Insooni} who points her in the right direction, and fights through an army of criminals before reclaiming her heart & taking down the one that stole it.

Netizen responses to both the song & the MV have been positive so far: “Holy s**t!!! Jessica was slicing and dicing better than Uma Thurman! The video will be banned in t-minus 3...2...”, “XIAH JUNSU OPPAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! ^o^”, “I love the song! It’s the complete opposite of Love Is?, which was fantastic. I'm glad she didn't release some weepy ballad as her main single. Kudos to her for taking a risk.”, “I’m a girl & even I want Jessica! Junsu + Jessica = SEXIEST MV EVER!”

White Entertainment accuse Blackjacks of sabotaging Instiz pre-order chart

The biggest pre-order chart in South Korea, the Instiz Chart, has just released its official pre-order rankings for October to measure the most anticipated albums due for release, and the results are already causing waves across the music industry!

Take a look at the top ten below.

1. SECRET - The First Album

2. Girls' Generation - The Boys

3. IU - The 2nd Album

4. T-ara - Black Eyes

5. Jay Park - The 2nd Mini-Album

6. Orange Caramel - Shanghai Romance

7. Jessica Jiyeon - Girl Without a Heart

8. Kim Hyun Joong - Lucky

9. Wheesung - Single Album

10. G-Dragon - New Album

......

127. Neon Bunny - The First Mini-Album

On the last Instiz Pre-Order chart for the month of August, G-Dragon was ranking No. 2 behind SNSD, but his sales have dramatically slid after he was caught smoking marijuana nakedly with T.O.P.

But that's not the only reason the Instiz chart is attracting attention. Small agency White Entertainment (home of Girls' Revolution and HyunA Knowles) have accused the chart of being altered by 2NE1's fans, the Blackjacks, in order to sabotage the sales of Jessica Jiyeon's new mini-album.

"This chart is an absolute disgrace," says Trina Villota, co-CEO of White Entertainment. "The Blackjacks have reached a dismal and disgusting new low. They are clearly upset over Jessica's highly-publicized relationship with Teddy Park, so they are pre-ordering rival albums to give Jessica a flop chart position."

"My partner, KellyRose Spires, did some investigating on the 6theory message boards yesterday," Trina continued, "and she discovered that Blackjacks had made a thread encouraging the purchase of SECRET's album to sabotage Jessica. They are well aware of the feud between SECRET's Song Ji Eun and Jessica, so they are trying to use it to make Jessica flop. It's absolutely disgusting and makes me sick to my stomach. I've never witnessed such corruption in all my years."

When AKF investigated 6theory, we could find no record of the forum thread that KellyRose and Trina spoke of. They then claimed it had been deleted by Blackjacks to cover their tracks.

Trina then promised that A Girl Without a Heart would be a strong seller in the long run.

"Jessica's album may be doing poorly now, but we are confident that sales will pick up when you see her live stage and bold new concept," Trina said.

"Nobody else can sing as well as Jessica, and she has the highest-grossing movie in Asia right now, so clearly these pre-orders are just a temporary glitch. Plus, she can't be expected to compete at the level of these girl groups when she is just a solo artist."

Naturally, netizens flooded our message boards to give their thoughts on this controversial situation.

Comments included, "Can't compete with girl groups? But IU album is selling high," "Trina and Jessica are just jealous of 2NE1 success because they are the bestest band that ever lived," "I watched Jessica's movie Rocker Princess and it was good, but I did not pre-order her album," and "White Entertainment are all trash. I thought Jessica was different, but I guess she is just as bad as HyunA and Tiffany."

Which album will you be buying this month?

Jessica Jiyeon is a “Bad Girl”!

With less than a week to go, a teaser for the official single from Jessica Jiyeon’s upcoming mini album Girl Without A Heart has been revealed!

Jessica has promised to deliver a darker, sexier, & more confident concept with “Bad Girl”.

“"Love Is?" is all about trying to move on from a relationship, while "Bad Girl" is about what happens when you let go of all the sadness & pain, focus on the future, & begin to build yourself back up from ruin by transforming both inside & out." she told AKF.

The full version of Bad Girl will be released on the 10th along with the music video which was recently shot on location in Tokyo, with Girl Without A Heart to follow on the 11th.

Suzy Sooyoung says goodbye to “Idol Closet”

With the scheduled return of permanent comedic panelist Ryo Min Ri on October 12th, Suzy Sooyoung said her goodbyes on last night’s episode of Idol Closet.

While her short time on the show had its fair share of ups & downs, hosts Taejun & Alan Kwon couldn’t contain their sadness over her departure.

“I was finally getting used to her” Taejun spoke honestly, igniting a wave of laughter. “She used to always bring me *nakji bokkeum and soju and go ‘Opppppaaaaa…please eat well!’”

“I will miss her.” Alan Kwon said with his trademark expressionless face, before pretending to breakdown & cry dramatically, “SUZY! Don’t go! If you leave I’ll be stuck with Taejun & his deadly foot odor!”

Netizens voiced their opinions on her departure after the episode ended: “She improved so much near the end. Too bad her time is already up”, “Why did Taejun hyung have to mention nakji bokkeum?! Now I’m craving it!”, “She bounced back after her Hyori scandal. I’m glad they gave her a second chance & didn’t kick her off”, “Suzy will always have the Su-Witches to support her! I’ll miss seeing her on the panel.”

“Rocker Princess” takes on Japan

via TokyoDive

With Rocker Princess a veritable blockbuster in South Korea [at the time of this article’s posting the film was sitting strong at #12, with a total box office draw of 35,738,409,626 KRW - roughly $30.1 million USD - made off a mere $2 million USD production budget], the studio decided it was time to move the hit film over to the Land of the Rising Sun to capitalize on Jessica Jiyeon’s growing fame with Heathers.

The musical went up against the 5th entry of the popular Fast and the Furious franchise as well Moteki, and managed to take 2nd place with 1,125,317,656 YEN [$14,721,661 USD].

Positive reviews for the film have carried over to Japan as well, with Megami Robishu {aka the "Roger Ebert of Japan"} writing a glowing review on his popular blog. Quote:

“It’s not often you find a film that takes a well-worn fairytale like Cinderella & gives it a legitimately fresh spin. In all my years of reviewing films geared toward the modern younger set, this is the first one I can honestly say I not only enjoyed immensely from start to finish, but would gladly see again without hesitation.”

HyunA Knowles is the October Cover Girl for MAXIM!

HyunA Knowles has landed her first magazine cover!

The 'Supermodel Idol' is the October cover girl for Korean men's magazine, MAXIM.

HyunA captivates with her beautiful curves, posing in a black mini-dress with her hair styled in a natural, but glamorous fashion.

Fans commented, "OMG! She's a true goddess. So beautiful!", "There aren't many people who can pull off this look. Only HyunA and Swing Girls can do it the best.", "Her legs are like McDonald's... Open All Night!", "I'm so jealous of her long legs. Can I get that by having plastic surgery?"

During an interview on the set of the photoshoot, HyunA shared some deep thoughts on her career and her labelmates from White Entertainment, "This is my first magazine feature. I'm so happy that I can be on the cover, looking sexy and fierce as usual," she humbly revealed.

"My career is finally on its way to the top. My new single, '(Gurlz) Break Yo' Ankle!', debuted at No. 63 on GAON Chart. I told myself that this single must enter Top 100 of the GAON Chart, or else I will retire from the music industry and go home to marry some Indian man my mom chose for me. I'm so glad it didn't happen, and that I'm still here."

"I wanna say thank you very much to Brave Brothers who produced 'Gurlz' for me. I feel that I can connect with the song because once my leg was injured during my trainee days, so he thought Gurlz will be a hit if it's sung by me."

"I also wan to clear the rumors about me having a private meeting with Brave Brothers in his apartment. First, it has nothing to do with me winning the song. Second, we weren't alone. Tiffany and Suzy unnies were there too. We were playing mah-jong. Tiffany unnie loves playing mah-jong so much, but we have to get 4 people to play it. So Tiffany unnie called Brave Brothers and then we slept over at his apartment, playing mah-jong all night long. I lost about 100.000 won that day."

On being praised by her impressive rap skills in Jessica Jiyeon's new single 'Love Is', HyunA said, "I know it's very good, but it's not my best. It took me only two times to record it. But I don't understand why people don't like my singing. They said it's hideous. I think it's very good, I can sing like SISTAR's Hyorin, but to be honest, instead of being a good rapper, I choose to become a pop diva, just like my idol Nicki Minaj."

HyunA then revealed some scandalous details on her labelmates at White Entertainment.

"Tiffany unnie used to be very mean to me. I said that my leg was injured, right? Tiffany unnie did that. I was practicing my Ciara dance moves. Tiffany unnie seemed jealous of my talent, so she kicked my leg and I fell on the floor. I had to rest for 2 months, that's why my debut date was pushed back."

"I thought Jessica unnie was mentally ill. She was very sweet at first, but she changed drastically and become evil one day. But on the next day, she's sweet all over again. I asked Suzy unnie what happened to her, but she didn't know either. It happens at least once a month. Anyway, Jessica unnie's new album is very good. People should buy it. The songs represent what happened to her with Teddy Park."

"Suzy unnie has always been kind to me. She's the one that helped me when I first came to White Entertainment. She taught me about how to turn on the TV and not to talk with CEO Trina Villota when she's wandering around nakedly in the office. She said it means she's in a bad mood."

After reading HyunA's interview on MAXIM, netizens flooded our forum to share their thoughts, commenting: "HyunA is very sweet. She has a lady attitude.", "Tiffany is so mean. I heard she tried to cut Jessica's hair when she was sleeping because it's so beautiful and has so much shine.", "Suzy is the one who taught HyunA? I thought she's stupid.", "What kind of president is that?!?! I want to work at White Entertainment!"

MAXIM's October issue is on newsstands now.

Tiffany Taeyeon brings record ratings to Busan Heights!

Pictured: Tiffany 'Amber' Taeyeon arrives in Busan Heights [Episode 7, Season 3]

Tiffany Taeyeon's recurring guest-role on Asia's hottest K-Drama Busan Heights has brought the scandalous series its highest ratings ever!

Tiffany's debut on the show last month was the most-watched episode in Busan Heights' three and-a-half season run. Detractors were quick to label the ratings as nothing more than a 'curiosity factor' spurred by Tiffany's controversial weight-loss and rumored plastic surgery, and predicted that ratings would decline from there, but numbers for the following two episodes only showed minor dips.

MBC's Busan Heights follows a group of late-twentysomethings sharing an apartment complex in downtown Busan. The outrageous show is known for it's over-the-top storylines and dark humor, and is often called the 'mature' counterpart to Korea's other biggest K-Drama, Gangnam Hills.

Tiffany's role in Busan Heights as the villainous blonde bombshell Amber Moon-Ri has transfixed Koreans across the nation, and is fast becoming the most controversial K-Drama character of the year.

On episode one, Amber arrives to Busan Heights as the seemingly innocent younger sister of the beloved Ryu (played by Lee Yoon Ji), but things quickly take a turn for the worse when Amber tries to blackmail Ryu into murdering her own husband. The following episode sees Ryu refusing to take part in Amber's plan, so Amber seeks revenge by changing her appearance to look exactly like her sister in a bid to steal her life.

Tiffany's startling transformation shocks netizens

Monday's episode saw Amber turning the residents of Busan Heights against Ryu, while secretly plotting to murder Ryu's husband and frame her for it. The scandalous plot has had netizens transfixed to their TV screens waiting to see what happens next, and rumor has it that MBC are offering Tiffany big bucks to extend her role for several more episodes to prolong the ratings-grabbing feud.

Discussing the success of her new role, Tiffany told AKF exclusively, "I'm so proud to be part of such a huge and respected program. I've tried my hardest to show a new color of my charms through my acting, so I'm pleased that everybody has responded so well. Just please don't think that I am like my character Amber in real life, because I'm actually the opposite of her. I'm very humble and sweet in my daily life, so it's fun to play somebody who is so different to my real self."

AKF also asked Tiffany about the recent news that she had been replaced by SNSD's Yoona on the popular animated series Adventure Time.

"I auditioned for Adventure Time with many other idols," she said. "But then I got asked to star in Busan Heights, and due to my busy schedule I only had time for one show, so I pulled out of Adventure Time and chose Busan instead."

"I wanted a role that would give me plenty of screen time," she continued. "I'm not content to just be a voice actress, but I think it's a cute role for Yoona; Adventure Time suits her more because it's a cartoon for little children. Busan Heights is the type of role that only somebody with a mature charm can pull off, so I knew that I was the only one who could portray Amber correctly."

Netizens were quick to share their thoughts on both shows on our official forum, commenting, "My mother doesn't let me watch Busan Heights," "Yoona is the most beautiful woman in history," "Yoona is my life I kill for Yoona," and "Yoona so cute in Adventure Time so pretty!"

You can catch Busan Heights on Monday nights at 10pm on MBC. Adventure Time with Yoona will begin airing next year.

UPDATE: Was Tiffany Taeyeon let go from “Adventure Time”?

Back in September AKF reported that Tiffany Taeyeon had been picked to voice the character of Lady Rainicorn on the hit American animated show Adventure Time. According to the show’s creator, Pendleton Ward, that news is false.

“Adventure Time has a large foreign fan base, so we wanted to expand on that with our voice actors. We auditioned several Korean pop stars & actresses, Tiffany among them, but we just recently made our final decision.”

It’s been announced that Girls' Generation’s YoonA has been chosen for the much sought after role.

“We’re sorry to any fans who got their hopes up, but the information was leaked without our consent. To be frank, we wanted a big name. YoonA encapsulates everything we were looking for in Lady Rainicorn. We wanted the “Face of South Korea” and I think we found her. We’re so happy to have her as a part of the Adventure Time family.”

YoonA will begin voicing the character of Lady Rainicorn sometime in spring.

SPOILER: Suzy Sooyoung makes an appearance in “All The Love” finale

SBS are set to wrap up their hit drama All The Love next Friday, and AKF have learned what will take place in the much anticipated finale!

After much deliberation, Changsun decides to return to Heaven and allow Sujin & Min Hyuk to marry & raise his newborn daughter (Hye Sun) as their own. Yet tragedy strikes, again, the day of their wedding as Min Hyuk is struck down by a speeding car & lies on the brink death outside of the church.

Min Hyuk’s spirit makes its way to Heaven where Changsun speaks to Gabriel on his behalf, begging for Min Hyuk to return to Earth to love & care for Hye Sun & Sujin.

The scene flashes ahead 18 years, as a fully grown Hye Sun (played by Suzy Sooyoung, pictured above on the set in a custom made Carolina Herrera wedding gown) wakes up late for what is revealed to be her own wedding day. As she hurriedly dresses for the event an otherworldly force {revealed to be Changsun, her guardian angel} helps by fixing her breakfast, finding her car keys, & pulling her to safety as she absentmindedly steps out into traffic. She makes it to the church and is watched by her mother, father, & guardian angel as she marries the man she loves.

Netizens weighed in on the finale: “Such a heartbreaking drama. I’m glad it has a happy ending, even if it's bittersweet”, “Suzy’s part sounds so cute! I love her dress”, “I want a guy like Changsun! Park Shi Hoo is such a great actor.”

Tiffany Taeyeon & DJ Hector release "My Pussy"

Once again, K-Pop is going international!

The latest Korean star to ride the Hallyu wave is Girls' Revolution leader Tiffany Taeyeon, who has collaborated with top American DJ Hector Vasquez on a steamy new club single "My Pussy". The song will appear on the upcoming compilation album, New York Citi Nite Life, which celebrates the hottest club music from New York's top DJs.

Speaking of the collaboration, DJ Hector told AKF, "I was looking for an international star to do vocals on 'My Pussy'. My label contacted artists like Laura Pausini and Nancy Ajram, but they felt that the song wasn't right for their image. Someone then suggested I try an Asian, so I Googled "sexy Asian singer" and Tiffany Taeyeon was one of the first results that came up. As soon as I saw her RUKUS magazine cover, I knew that she'd be perfect for the song."

We also caught up with Tiffany, who was excited to share her enthusiasm on the project.

"When Hector played me the demo, I just fell in love with it instantly," she tells AKF. "Almost everybody owns a cat, so I knew that this was the type of song that people all over the world could relate to. Because this is my first song to be released outside of Asia, I had to make sure that the lyrics had a universal charm that would appeal to everyone."

"We have a gorgeous pussycat at the dorm that belongs to the label, so I played with my sweet little pussy in the vocal booth for inspiration while I recorded the song. I want to make sure the listener can feel how much I love my pussy through my vocal delivery, so I tried extra hard to convey my emotions through my singing."

"If you go out to a nightclub, please ask the DJ to play 'My Pussy' all night long. It will make everyone have a good time, so please support 'My Pussy' as much as you can."

Netizens were quick to voice their opinions on the song shortly after its online premiere.

"I love this song! It makes me proud to have a pussy too," "Wow, an English song for America. I hope 'My Pussy' makes Americans love K-Pop," "People say Tiffany is mean, but I think she must be a nice person to sing such a sweet song about her pussy."

"My Pussy" will be available on iTunes worldwide from October 5th. A limited edition physical remix single in CD form and vinyl will be released a week later. You can see the front and back artwork above and below.

White Entertainment blame Heathers’ heated exchange on exhaustion & stress

Jessica Jiyeon & Tiffany Taeyeon shocked netizens yesterday with a war of words through Twitter!

The two started off calmly, remarking on their less than stellar reviews from the red carpet of Tokyo Fashion Week before the mood changed & they began slinging personal insults at each other.

@Jessica_Jiyeon I had other schedules to attend to. Not everyone has the entire month free like you do. I'm a hot commodity.

@Jessica_Jiyeon I was wearing Galliano wedged pumps, and it's okay Jess, I know no big designers sent you any options so you had to wear...

@Jessica_Jiyeon ...one of your pre-debut Ash's Trash outfits. It looked cute.Not everyone can pull off high-fashion designer looks.

@Jessica_Jiyeon I won't let your nonchalance bring down everything I've worked for with Heathers. Everything I've built!

@Jessica_Jiyeon I've been very open about my holiday. My fans respect my honesty. You lied to your fans. They found out about your...

@Jessica_Jiyeon ...surgeries through a tabloid magazine, smh.

@TiffTaeyeon And there's that ego the netizens were talking about! You're not as hot as you think you are, Tiff

@TiffTaeyeon You need to remember who your allies are & stop trying to turn them into enemies

@TiffTaeyeon I've stood by you. Basically grown up with you. Your fans won't always be there & neither will I at the rate you're going

@TiffTaeyeon Says the person who pretended to be playing with turtles when she was in a padded room!

@TiffTaeyeon Well until the Tiff I know & love comes back, I think it'd be best if Heathers took a break

@TiffTaeyeon I don't want to deal with you when you're in this mode

White Entertainment co-CEO KellyRose Spires quickly spoke out about the exchange.

“Jessica Jiyeon and Tiffany Taeyeon are professionals, but they’re also human. Everyone gets pushed to the breaking point due to stress or exhaustion. When you work as hard as the two of them, a little venting is understandable.”

“Heathers have not split up. They've just finished promoting their first Japanese album, and are currently preparing new music. They're also busy with Korean activities, so we ask that you please support them.”

Netizens rushed to the forums to give their thoughts: “Heathers are my favorite Japanese group! I hope they don’t break up”, “Tiffany is always all about herself. I don‘t blame Jessica for wanting to walk away”, “I can‘t believe Jessica said Tiffany was in a mental hospital. That was too far”, “KellyRose can sugarcoat the situation all she wants. I want to see a good old fashioned girl fight! Preferably with them in bikinis covered in oil”, “Everyone needs to cut them some slack. I fight like that with my sisters all the time but I still love & care for them. I bet the two of them have already patched things up.”
