BREAKING NEWS: White Entertainment's Tiffany Taeyeon reported missing

The popular singer and her entourage were last seen boarding a private plane to fly back to Seoul from Melbourne, Australia, where Tiffany had just wrapped production on multiple music videos for her upcoming single "Do Da Disco".

Little information is known about the situation just yet, but AKF have obtained a recording of a phone call made from the plane just minutes before it went missing. According to the call, made by Tiffany to White CEO Trina Villota, Tiffany and the other passengers had been drinking and partying, and had urged the pilot to fly over the Bermuda Triangle as a dare. Air traffic control tracked the aircraft as it headed towards the mysterious location, before it seemingly vanished into thin air.

Other passengers on board included celebrity hairstylist Ongina Palao, personal assistant Jordin Mahogany, music video director Tasha Richards, and four male backup dancers, Jacques Sarkozy, Tiago Lopez, Anthony Jackson, and Elma Xiou.

Rescue boats & choppers have been dispatched in the area, but so far nothing has been found.

Authorities have also opened up an official investigation after a White Entertainment warehouse containing finished copies of Tiffany’s album ‘Friday Night Fever’ was burned to the ground on the same day as the plane vanished. Police suspect that the fire was set deliberately, and could be related to the disappearance as a possible plot to kill Tiffany and prevent her album from being released.

Trina Villota was too distraught to give an official statement on the matter, so we spoke to White Co-CEO KellyRose Spires, who held an official press conference just hours ago.

“The staff & artists at White & KRS Media are devastated, but hopeful that Tiffany & the others will make it home safely.”

“Unfortunately,” she continued, “the warehouse fire not only destroyed all the finished copies of Tiffany’s album, but also the computers that held all the artwork on file. The only other copy of the album was on a laptop which Tiffany had with her at the time of her disappearance, so for the time being, the release of Friday Night Fever has been postponed indefinitely.”

“My colleague Trina Villota is currently recovering in hospital after suffering from severe anxiety attacks brought on by this tragic news,” said KellyRose. “But I speak for her when I say that White Entertainment are 100% certain that Tiffany’s disappearance is the result of foul play and sabotage, and we are working closely with the authorities to ensure that Tiffany is found and the culprit is brought to justice. We have already provided the Seoul Police Department with a long list of suspects, which includes Will.i.am, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, T-ara's Qri, Lady Jane, Tila Caffarelli, Song Ji Eun, and BIGBANG’s Daesung, who was investigated for murder just last year.”

“As the search for Tiffany and her killer continues, fans can contribute by supporting White Entertainment and KRS Media’s robust catalog. Titles currently available for physical and digital purchase include Jessica Jiyeon's "Girl Without A Heart", Suzy Sooyoung’s “A Very Suzy-licious Christmas”, HyunA Knowles’ “A Bunny’s Dream”, Wi-Fi’s debut mini-album "Everywhere", and BAP&TIFFANY’s “I Love You”. Thank you." 

Netizens had this to say about the tragedy:

"This was certainly caused by Aaliyah's troubled spirit. She is making sure we don't forget her.", "First Amy, then Whitney, and now Tiffany. It seems any female singer with a 'Y' at the end of their name will meet a cruel fate. Please take care, Suzy.", and "I know Tiffany is probably dead, but can White just release her album anyway? The teaser sounded hot."

Please keep an eye on AKF for more updates as they develop.

KRS Media unveil the 1st member of their debut male group

A few weeks ago we announced that KRS Media (a newly formed sister company of White Entertainment, home of popular female artists Jessica Jiyeon, Suzy Sooyoung, Tiffany Taeyeon, and HyunA Knowles), would debut their first male group in the early weeks of 2012. Today KRS Media CEO KellyRose Spires issued a statement revealing the first member of their new male idol group, Wi-Fi, as well as a solo promotional track from their upcoming debut album.

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.

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.

What are your thoughts on Jessica’s debut mini?

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.

Jessica Jiyeon unleashes her new buzz single, "Love Is?"

Jessica Jiyeon, still riding high off the success of her debut feature film Rocker Princess, has decided to unveil her new buzz single "Love Is?" from her upcoming mini album, "Girl Without A Heart".

The track, a collaborative effort with “So Scandalous” singer & White Entertainment label mate HyunA Knowles, is a perfect mix of new age hip-hop beats, a powerful & emotive vocal delivery, and fierce rapping. The lyrics tell the story of a girl attempting to move on after having her heart broken, only to have steady reminders of what she & her ex shared constantly in her way.

“My heart hurts just like it’s being ripped apart.”

“No matter how much time has passed, I’ll still remember our past/No matter how you've hurt me, I’ll still remember your face.”

“Sometimes there’s a song being played we used to listen to together/When I hear that song I go numb.”

Many have speculated that the lyrics reference Jessica's recent break up with YG producer Teddy Park. Jessica has downplayed any connection and promised that while her break up is still on her heart & mind she is not affected by it like the girl in the song.

Netizen’s reactions have been positive so far: “Jessica & HyunA make a great pair! Even better than her & Tiffany”, “The lyrics are so emo LOL. I love this song”, "Who knew HyunA was such a fantastic rapper! She should make a full rap album!”, “Teddy hyung really messed Jessica up. She can come cry on my shoulder & lap anytime ;)”

“Love Is?” is available digitally now. The mini's official single is set for release on October 10th, with "Girl Without A Heart" to follow on the 11th. Stay tuned to AKF for more.

Tiffany Taeyeon's weight loss pleases fans

A new photo of Tiffany Taeyeon is causing interest amongst netizens.

The idol recently uploaded a selca to her official fan cafe from the set of popular K-Drama Busan Heights, where she's currently filming a five-episode guest spot. The photo shows Tiffany sporting a sexy and mature look to match the character she is portraying, but it's not her new image that's catching the attention of fans -- it's her weight loss.

The Girls' Revolution leader appears bony and fragile in the selca, with rake thin arms and a tiny, breakable waist. Compared to a previous photo taken back in July for a Thai tourism CF, you can see that the idol is lacking the eye-catching curves that originally turned her into one of K-Pop's top sex symbols.

Netizens have been eager to voice their opinion on Tiffany's weight loss, with most reacting extremely positively to the star's slimmed down physique.

Comments included: "Please continue to strive hard to lose more weight, and then you will become even more gorgeous than before," "Tiffany looks beautiful, like Yuri's twin but not as fat," and "Wow, she is so skinny, I am going to stop eating so I can look like my favorite unnie."

During a recent appearance on MBC's Golden Fishery, Tiffany revealed that she was dieting to lose weight for an upcoming mystery photoshoot with top celebrity photographer, Ellen von Unwerth. Dieting on top of a busy schedule would explain Tiff's new look, but according to tabloid magazine K-Scandal, there's a lot more to her slimmer physique than just a busy schedule.

"Tiffany has become obsessed with being thin," a source revealed exclusively in this week's issue of K-Scandal. "She used to pride herself on her curves, but ever since HyunA Knowles joined White Entertainment, she's felt insecure about her weight. It doesn't help that Suzy Sooyoung is also incredibly thin, which only adds to the pressure for Tiffany to outdo her."

"When Tiffany wakes up, she'll have a glass of water and a few cherry tomatoes for breakfast," the source continued. "Then for lunch she'll have a piece of sliced watermelon inside a lettuce leaf. She won't eat any other fruit because she says they contain too much sugar, and she won't eat dinner for fear of sleeping on a full stomach. She works so hard that it's easy for her to keep her mind off of eating, but she usually ends up having a meltdown at least once a fortnight, and will binge on her favorite foods like fried octopus and French pastries."

"Tiffany's determined to be the most beautiful Idol in all of Asia, and with broadcasters and managers constantly complimenting her on her weight loss and various surgeries, she doesn't realize that what she's doing is dangerous."

Tiffany is currently wrapping up her Japanese promotions with the Heathers and preparing to return to Korea to begin recording her first solo album. She's also rumored to be starring in an as-yet-untitled horror film and launching a signature perfume, which should keep her busy over the next few months. Until then, keep an eye out for her guest-starring role on Busan Heights, where she'll be playing the meddling younger sister of Lee Yoon Ji's character, who comes to town to try and blackmail her sister into murdering her new husband.

HyunA Knowles releases her second single "(Gurlz) Break Yo' Ankle!"

Controversial Idol HyunA Knowles returned today with her second digital single, "(Gurlz) Break Yo' Ankle!", as well as a brand new image poppin' with sass and color! HyunA showed a very bold and dark concept for her outrageous debut "So Scandalous", but now she has transformed for her second single, showing a more elegant and feminine charm with a sparkly metallic blue dress and made-by-glass high heels. "(Gurlz) Break Yo' Ankle!" is produced by top K-Pop hitmaker Brave Brothers, who had a hard time deciding who he would give the song to out of HyunA or popular girl group SISTAR. After receiving a love call from HyunA and taking a private meeting with her in his apartment, HyunA won the song, and SISTAR were given a B-Side called "So Cool", which was later used as the title track for their first album.. "Gurlz" is an electronic song with an infectious beat that contains lyrics intended to empower young women. “Hands up high, brave gurlz break yo' ankle!”, an autotuned HyunA sings, using a serious injury as a metaphor for empowerment and strength. The song defines everything the Brave Sound stands for – it’s melodic, danceable, catchy, and most importantly, it’s very well produced. One unique aspect of the song is that Brave Brothers breathing can be heard during the breakdown, but netizens have been unsure whether this effect was intentional or not. After the premiere of HyunA's new song, Netizens rushing to our forum to share their thoughts, commenting, "This is DAEBAK!!! Best song of the year.", "I'm charmed by her flawless beauty, but ill from her poor singing.," "I'm so gonna break my ankle now. She's such a trendsetter.", "It sounds like Suzy Sooyoung's Freedom. Is she plagiarizing her labelmate?". While the feedback from music listeners has been good, AKF have learned that the Ministry of Gender & Equality are examining the song for violent subject matter, and are considering a future ban if "Gurlz" is found guilty of containing inappropriate subject matter like HyunA's debut single "So Scandalous" was. Ignoring the potential drama around the song, a positive Trina Villota of White Entertainment shared with Newsen, "We are so happy that Hyuna's second digital single has finally been released." She continued, "We purposely released the song on the same day as Brown Eyed Girls' new album. We are very sure that HyunA's song is just as good as BEG's title track. Although only promoting her song for three weeks, HyunA is very happy to share comeback stages with her unnies from BEG. She has been practicing for the past month and now that she'll be making a comeback on the same day as BEG, she's very confident that she will exceed BEG's comeback stage. She even asked us to hire the same vocal trainer of Jea so that she can deliver the same powerful vocals." Once again, the statement from White Entertainment's representative had Netizens flooding our forum to share their thoughts, "Does she think she's Mariah Carey or something?", "Let's have a faith in her, poppers. Our goddess will never lie.", "I think it will be great if BEG add new members like After School did, and HyunA would be a good choice.", and "Who is HyunA Knowles?" HyunA and Brown Eyed Girls will be making their comebacks on tomorrow's episode of Inkigayo. Stay tuned!

Netizens commented in response, "Omo! They are so beautiful. I wanna be bi-racial too!", "Three Caucasian girls and one negroid girl. I've had enough.", "She's half Indian, you idiot!".

Chocolat are currently promoting their debut single, Syndrome, while HyunA Knowles will take her last goodbye stage tomorrow on SBS's 'Inkigayo' before releasing her new single on September 23rd.

HyunA Cries her Heart Out in a Lovely Hanbok

Joining her fellow idols for this year's Chuseok greetings is White Entertainment's 'Supermodel Idol' HyunA Knowles, who put aside her controversial stage outfits for a traditional Korean Hanbok dress.

Speaking to reporters at The Geumgang Botanical Garden in Busan, the singer greeted, "Hello, this is HyunA Knowles. I hope everyone is with their families celebrating Chuseok. There's no better way to spend Chuseok than eating songpyeon in the living room with cousins. I will do my best to work harder and show improvements in many different areas, so please always support me."

2011 has been a tough year for singer, who debuted back in August with her first digital single "So Scandalous". Her music video was banned due to excessive kiss scenes and inappropriate outfits, which were deemed as "vulgar" and "harmful to Korea's youth" by the Ministry for Gender & Equality, and the song has struggled to crack the top 100 of the GAON charts.

HyunA stated, "There's a lot going on since my debut. When my music video was banned, I couldn't help but cry and cry all night long. Tiffany and Suzy unnies cheered me up and said that things like that happen; they said there's no need to look back all the time, and to put the bad things behind me and look forward."

She wiped her tears and continued, "It really helped me. Now, I'm ready to move on. I will show my fans a lot of improvements. I've been practicing my dancing and singing skills from early morning to late night everyday. I even had to have the IV drip once because I trained so hard, but Jessica unnie unplugged it and told me to get back to work. I promise I'll be back soon with a better image that you can't help but love it. Please anticipate it."

HyunA is currently busy with her "So Scandalous" promotions and working on her upcoming follow-up single. Keep an eye out for this sexy singer!

HyunA Knowles releases debut single "So Scandalous"

White Entertainment's newest artist, 'Supermodel Idol' HyunA Knowles, has just released her first digital single "So Scandalous"!

"So Scandalous" is an electronic dance song with a Hi-NRG beat, autotune, and dubstep, and it features Tiffany Taeyeon, Suzy Sooyoung, and Jessie Jiyeon of Girls' Revolution.

With HyunA's debut serving as one of the most anticipated of the year, Netizens have been quick to share their thoughts on her new single, commenting, "The production makes me wish I were old enough to go to a nightclub", "She's the same as Tiffany and Suzy -- another pretty girl who can't sing", and "I love the beat, but it's the lyrics that give me a good feeling in my pants."

The track is guaranteed to cause controversy thanks to it's raunchy lyrics, as well as its racy cover art, which depicts HyunA laying on her back in the front seat of a luxury car with her legs in the air.

Speaking about her provocative pose, HyunA told Star News: "I wanted fans to see a surprising color of my charms for my debut. Everyone thinks of me as just a stunning supermodel, which I am, but there's also much more to me than that, so it was important that I showcase a bold image to the public. Please support my debut by purchasing my song on Soribada, and cheering loudly for me on music programs."

Netizens have already been sharing HyunA's "So Scandalous" concept photos and cover art on popular online portals, commenting, "My mother won't like this picture, but I love it so I will hide it under my mattress", "HyunA is a classy supermodel, so if she does poses like this then I will too tomorrow at school," and "This is not the right way for a woman to behave, and I think she should be banned like Stellar were."

"So Scandalous" is available for purchase at all online retailers now.

EXCLUSIVE: White Entertainment's Trina Villota in talks for her own reality show?

AKF can exclusively reveal that White Entertainment's controversial CEO Trina Villota may be in talks to get her own reality show with one of South Korea's major television networks!

A snitch close to the situation contacted AKF on the condition of anonymity to reveal the exclusive details on the big deal.

"There's been a lot of interest in getting Trina on TV for the past year," the source reveals. "Not only is she gorgeous and a total paparazzi magnet, but her story is something that not even the tabloids could make up. She went from being a nightclub hostess to having an affair with former White Entertainment head Mr. Kang, to buying Kang out and running the company herself with her friend KellyRose Spires. It's a recipe for ratings success"

"But there have been some major hurdles," the source continues. "The initial negotiations fell through because of money. Trina may not have a business degree behind her, but she's very savvy when it comes to money. Unfortunately, KellyRose got in her ear and pumped up her ego to the point that Trina was asking for a ridiculous price. KBS stopped taking her calls, mainly because they didn't want to deal with KellyRose anymore. KellyRose is a leech; she's always relied on other people to get through life, so she never developed the cutthroat street smarts that Trina's attained over the years. Trina only went into business with her because they're old friends, and she was short on cash to buy-out Kang."

"The deal looked dead until White signed HyunA Knowles. HyunA's bi-racial background and modelling past has given the networks fresh ideas, so now they're trying to work something out with Trina at a more reasonable price. The only difference is that now they're exploring the possibility of making the show about the whole company, and not just Trina. White is currently the only agency in South Korea with an all-female staff and roster, and the networks think it'll make a great show."

"Trina's desperate for the cash and exposure because she knows that White Entertainment is technically more famous than it is successful. There's still one problem though -- public broadcast networks are terrified of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. Trina isn't exactly the most conservative woman under the sun, and neither are the rest of the women at White -- one look at Suzy Sooyoung's latest album cover tells you that. A network doesn't want to invest money in a show that could potentially be pulled off-air, so if the show does get the green light, it'll probably be on a cable channel."

When AKF contacted White Entertainment for confirmation on the news, we received a blunt "no comment", but our source is reliable so we're confident that the information is accurate.

Fledgling agency White Entertainment made a shock announcement today by revealing that they will be launching a new bi-racial female solo artist!

According to White, their new signee, HyunA Knowles, is a 19-year-old half-Korean, half-Indian model from New Delhi who will become the agency's first "Supermodel Idol".

In an official statement, White CEO Trina Villota said: "HyunA has been secretly training and preparing for her debut with us for the past year. She first came to my attention through her modelling work in India, and as soon as I saw her I knew that I had to sign her immediately."

"HyunA's exotic beauty is guaranteed to win over fans in the K-Pop industry, and we are confident that she will be one of the top rookie artists of 2011. In addition to her unique charm and looks, HyunA is also a skilled rapper, and we look forward to showing you her musical skills through her first single promotions."

"With HyunA's addition to the White Family, we will continue to build our reputation as the most culturally diverse agency in Korea with the most beautiful talent."

While White are keeping details of HyunA's first single a secret for now, they did reveal that it will be an electronic track that will show off the young star's unique colors.

Along with the announcement of HyunA's debut, White have released several official promotional photos. The photos show off HyunA's model charms, focusing on her long legs and slender figure, but some of the more provocative poses could ending up causing some controversy for the new singer.

Upon hearing the news of HyunA's upcoming debut, netizens comments, "Wow, she is truly stunning, but does she have any talent?", "I can't believe they signed an Indian, but as long as she isn't Caucasian I guess I am fine with it", "She reminds me of RaNia and Nine Muses, but a solo version."

While HyunA's ethnic background is bound to become a hot topic with netizens, she isn't actually the first Indian idol to debut this year; Alisha Budhrani of Pan-Asian girl group Blush is currently K-Pop's first South Asian star.

So AKF readers, what do you think of HyunA so far?
