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.”

2PMs 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 ^-^”

“Rocker Princess” is a hit!



The musical starring Jessica Jiyeon and 2AM’s Jinwoon dethroned Arrow: The Ultimate Weapon at the box office this weekend with an impressive 1,374,109 admissions and $16,319,468,460 KRW {roughly $15.4 million USD} in ticket sales. With a mere budget of $2 million USD, the film’s success rested solely on the shoulders of its well known main cast. Director Yoon Yoo Wei commented on the film’s success.

It was such an extraordinary experience for everyone. This wasn’t some huge special effect driven blockbuster or the epic finale of a popular franchise.” he remarked “When you have the right cast & the right script at the right time, you will have an audience. I’m so proud to have my name on this film.”

The film has received critical acclaim for its take on the well known Cinderella fairytale, as well as the K-Rock & K-Indie influenced soundtrack. Many have praised Jessica Jiyeon’s acting in the film & labeled her “one to watch” & “a perfect leading lady” for her role as Princess Sol.

With such a strong start, will the film’s success waver or keep it on top for another weekend? Keep an eye on AKF for more.

Everything you need to know about "Rocker Princess"!



Jessica Jiyeon is set to rock the big screen as the lead in the new musical Rocker Princess! AllKFlop got the full scoop with the film’s director Yoon Yoo Wei on the all star cast!

“Jesscia plays Sol: a humble princess who is cast out of her home, after her father dies a month shy of her 21st birthday - after which she becomes queen - by her spiteful stepmother, played by Lena Park. She ends up on the streets of Seoul where she befriends Lee, the leader of a rock band called The Electrocutes, played by Jinwoon.” Yoon Yoo Wei explained, “Our goal was to take a familiar story and give it a Korean twist. Every culture has their spin on a fairy tale. This is mine.”

Actress Park Eun Bin best known for her role as Go Hye Sung -age 16- in the "Dream High" finale plays Lee’s younger sister Mina, The Electrocutes’ drummer.
“Imagine a Korean White Stripes and you pretty much have Lee & Mina in a nutshell!" Yoo Wei laughed “Eun Bin is pretty energetic on the drum set, so forget the Meg White comparison…Oh! And they’re siblings, not married! Aigoooo! Please forgive me!^^”

Girl’s Day’s Hyeri & A Pink’s Eunji play the roles of the evil stepsisters.

The supporting cast boasts a number of K-Rock & K-Indie acts: Black Skirts’ lead singer Johyuil plays The Electrocutes' bassist, while TRAX, The RockTigers, CN BLUE, & Neon Bunny occupy lesser roles. 2AM's Jo Kwon makes a guest appearance as Sol's "fairy godfather".

Many have questioned why majority of the film’s songs are in English. Yoo Wei explains “Why not? We all have grown up with Western influences. The actors that can’t speak English well or at all have been given passes. I believe Engrish can be endearing, don’t you? Have you heard that clip of Narsha speaking to the American over the phone? I rest my case!” he laughs.
The film is due out on September 1st!
