[Exclusive] White Entertainment announce HUGE plans for 2012

2011 was both a turbulent & rewarding year for White Entertainment that saw the rise & fall of Girls’ Revolution, the imprisonment of ex CEO Park Su Kang, & individual success of its artists. The company, far from industry leaders, held steady thanks to the success of Jessica Jiyeon’s “Rocker Princess” - one of 2011’s biggest films, several lucrative endorsements for Tiffany Taeyeon, as well as success in Japan with Girls' Revolution sub unit Heathers.

Current co CEO KellyRose Spires took time out of her busy schedule to give AllKFlop an exclusive phone interview about the company’s future plans.

Tiffany Taeyeon signs solo deal in Japan with SLAVEX!

Girls' Revolution leader Tiffany Taeyeon was a guest on Friday night's episode of The Late Show with Kang-Min Soo, where she announced that she's signed an exclusive solo record deal in Japan!

The sexy starlet was on the show to promote the next season of her hit K-drama Busan Heights, where she revealed to Kang-Min that she is now signed to Japan's biggest record label SLAVEX after the host pressed her about her solo music career.

"I'm the only member of Girls' Revolution that hasn't gone solo yet," she said. "I've been too busy with my other activities, but when SLAVEX offered me my own solo deal, I couldn't refuse."

"I look forward to showing off my individual strengths," she continued,"as well as facing Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Mademoiselle Yulia on the charts -- they said mean things about me and Jessica unnie, so I am excited to get my revenge by having a more successful career than theirs."

Tiffany didn't reveal much else about her future plans, but her manager Trina Villota was quick to phone the AKF office to confirm the official details of the new venture.

"Yes, Tiffany is now signed exclusively to Japan's biggest agency, SLAVEX," she said. "SLAVEX is home to Japan's top artists, so we are very excited for Tiffany's future over there. As part of the new deal, I will co-manage Tiffany's solo music activities in Japan alongside the team at SLAVEX, while White Entertainment will continue to oversee all other aspects of her career, including acting, modelling, and all music related to Heathers and Girls' Revolution."

"White Entertainment is still a small agency with limited resources in some areas, so when the lucrative opportunity for Tiffany to sign to SLAVEX was presented to us, we took it immediately. We are already so busy managing Jessica Jiyeon's successful career, as well as Suzy Sooyoung and HyunA Knowles. We also have Heathers and Girls' Revolution group projects, penciled in for next year, so it was just easier for Tiffany to have a separate deal in Japan where she will receive the best promotion and support. SLAVEX are confident that Tiffany Taeyeon will become a huge sttar in Japan."

Trina also revealed that Tiffany will release her first solo single in January, which will be a double A-side release containing music from the dance and electronic genre of music. Tiffany is said to be making a 180-degree transformation for her solo debut, with a new side to her image that's never been seen before.

Netizens have been quick to respond to the huge news, pushing aside their holidays celebrations long enough to rush to our forums to share their opinions.

"So this means she won't release any more music in Korea? Thank God.", "Tiffany is so rude, so Japan can have her. I'd rather listen to Jessica and Suzy, anyway," and "So Heathers and Girls' Revolution weren't offered Japanese record deals, but Tiffany was? They must see something special in her. Tiffany hwaiting!"

[Interview/Download] Suzy Sooyoung releases "A Very Suzy-licious Christmas!"

Suzy Sooyoung has embraced the holiday spirit this year, releasing her very own Christmas album "A Very Suzy-licious Christmas" earlier this month. The album contains an indie-acoustic style that reflects Suzy's unique musicality, with four classic holiday covers, an "extra festive" remix of her controversial Chinese hit "Freedom", and one completely original song - "Not Tonight Santa" - that was composed and written by Suzy herself, and features her Girls' Revolution bandmates Tiffany Taeyeon and Jessica Jiyeon, as well as rising star HyunA Knowles, who is rumored to have been added to the group as a fourth member ahead of their comeback next year.

You can take a listen to the album's lead single "Sleigh Ride".below.


As a special Christmas Eve surprise, the charitable Suzy has teamed up with AllKFlop for a unique and charming promotion, releasing a special digital version of her album for free download exclusively on AKF for a limited time only. 

• A Very Suzy-licious Christmas [Download]
• Digital Booklet [Download]

Suzy has been busy promoting the album on radio programs and variety shows throughout the month, and just last week she launched the "Suzy-licious Seoul Santa Mall Tour", performing and signing copies of the album in Seoul's biggest shopping malls. 

AKF caught up with the songstress during a recent mall appearance for an in-depth Q&A on all things Suzy-licious!


AKF: Saranghae Suzy! So many people have lined up for autographs!

Suzy: I know right! My album is so charming that even truck drivers and construction workers are here to say hi and meet me. They all have my Playboy issue with them and want it signed, but i tell them they have to buy my Christmas album first.

AKF: Oh that's amazing! So I assume the sales are going well?

Suzy: Oh yes, it's been a hot holiday seller all month. The SM Town Winter Album has had higher sales, but you can't expect my indie acoustic album to outsell that commercial stuff. But my sales are still high, with many ajusshi purchasing the album to see if it contains pictures like my Playboy shoot. They usually ask me first, but I tell them they need to buy it to find out.

AKF: That's naughty! Are all Su-Witches and Su-Wizards like that?

Suzy: Their colors vary. It's been amazing to finally meet my fans, though. This album is a gift to them. When KellyRose was pressing me to rush the record, I couldn't sleep sleep and I'd think about my Su-Witches in between breaks from studio time. I even thought of them when I went to the toilet. They support me so much, tweeting me that they want to see my insides -- It's so sweet that they want to know my personality like that.

AKF: Personality...hmm...sure. What about the original song with Girls' Revolution - Not Tonight Santa?

Suzy: Myself and the other members knew that the fans wanted Girls' Revolution to release something new, so we all discussed it and demanded that KellyRose let us record something together for the album. She said we only could if Jessica would be lead vocal and have a co-writing credit, so we went and asked Trina unnie instead and she let us do it my way. In the end it turned out well, and gave us a passion to return with a new single next year. We promise to show fans an upgraded version of Girls' Revolution, so please anticipate it.



AKF: So, how do you spend your Christmas?

Suzy: I'd like to say I had a cute date to spend the Christmas day with.... and I will! It's Hoya from INFINITE. Hoya hwaiting!

AKF: A date? So the rumors are true!

Suzy: It's not like that. We are just close friends. KellyRose hates me to date and forbids most of the artists at White to do so either, so I just have many intimate friendships.

AKF: When you're at home, how is Christmas?

Suzy: Well not that cute actually! Xena - my pet Tiger - always gets sick from the turkey and goes potty all around the house. It's just gross! It reminds me of a time when one of my members had too many tacos and made a mess of the dorm, but I won't say who it was....She knows who she is.



AKF: That's disgusting. Let's get back to the music. Are you excited about putting this record out?

Suzy: You should've asked me this at the start. But yes, I am! It was about time to release something that would showcase a new color. I'm a grown woman now, so I have more of a developed charm than I did before. Plus, this album is very personal -- I copied the Intro and the Interlude from my favorite Christmas soundtrack - A Charlie Brown Christmas. 

AKF: How cute! What was the weirdest present you ever got for Christmas?

Suzy: Um, well once Tiffany got me this pink sequinned sweater that I loved, but she purposely bought it in her size so I wouldn't be able to wear it and would have to give it to her. She always does things like that. Also, HyunA just recently bought me a mysterious Indian charm, but Tiffany thought it matched her eyes so she took that from me too.

AKF: What was the weirdest present you ever gave for Christmas?

Suzy: Why would you assume I give weird presents? Hmm. But I will tell you that I bought Femme Fresh for everyone this Christmas. Well, I didn't actually buy it, since White Entertainment get a free supply because of Jessica's CF deal, but I took several bottles from the agency and wrapped them up, then gave them to my friends and family as gifts.

AKF: That's really selfish. So, who will you miss this Christmas?

Suzy: Well, even though she takes my things I will miss Tiffany. I invited her to Christmas dinner, but she said she already has plans and hung up the phone on me. I would also say Jessica unnie, but I will see her at the White office Christmas party anyway. Trina said she will assign a chaperon to both me and Jessica so we don't drink, because we're still in recovery. I wish I could drink like Tiffany and HyunA do. Oh, so I guess Jack Daniels is who I will miss this Christmas!

AKF: Interesting! Anyway, your new album is really great. Everybody loves it, even my 60-year-old mother. she is a bit deaf though... .
Suzy: Well, at least she can enjoy the booklet! it has 69 pages of stunning photos, so I hope people download it from your site or buy it in stores.


AKF: She's blind, too.


Suzy: Merry Christmas!

HyunA Knowles is Sexy and She Knows It in Dazed & Confused magazine!

HyunA Knowles continues to live up to her reputation as K-Pop's 'Supermodel Idol' with a provocative cover shoot for the December issue of Dazed & Confused. 

The singer transforms into a super sexy Santa Claus for the racy shoot, wearing nothing but a red coat and panties! Since HyunA has gained a reputation for delivering seductive and explicit pictorials, the issue has gained great attention from all age groups, from sweet little Korean boys to 60 year-old ajusshi and uncle fans. Young women are also said to be interested by the shoot thanks to HyunA's bold new pixie cut hairstyle, which is predicted to become a hot trend in 2012. 

A representative from Dazed & Confused magazine stated, "We wanted the December issue to be something different to your typical boring Christmas-y spread. We aimed to make something bold and fierce that can arouse the various senses. HyunA has a very glamorous body as well as an ability to quickly understand concepts, so whatever outfits or makeup she puts on, she can pull it off with ease. Most women in Korea are very curious to know how she got her body, what methods she used, and where she had her rumored butt-job. We are very grateful that HyunA kindly wants to share her secrets with everyone through this issue."

In her interview with the magazine HyunA revealed, "These days, there's a song that I love to jam to so much; It's sung by the American rap group LMFAO. The song is very charming and appealing, and I think it deserves a Grammy award. The song's lyrics confidently say, "I'm sexy and I know it", which is a unique message that I can relate to. Sometimes it's hard being me, like, people always stare at me wherever I go. It feels like their eyes can see through my clothes, undressing me and violating my body with their vision. Boys are loving me but girls are hating on me. I often ask myself: "Why can't I live a normal life, a life just like a normal girl?" But I guess I'm just hot and I can't help it.

The rising K-Diva then opened up about her body secrets, which has been a hot issue with netizens since her debut.

"The secret to my hot tamale body is my poochie popping routine.Studies say that it burns ten times the calories you get from running and swimming combined. Isn't that amazing? I always do it during the nights, with help from oppa idols like 2PM's Chansung, MBLAQ's G.O., or Boyfriend's Kwangmin & Youngmin. God knows we love my poochie popping exercises."

When Dazed & Confused asked about pushing her album back to 2012, HyunA responded, "Let's not pretend that we don't know the reason. Everyone knows that it involves a a certain girl whose name is made up of TWO simple letters stealing my concept for her album. Her management is so uncreative so they have to rip other artist's concept off. I'm so glad that her album is flopping and having bad criticisms, it's not like she's that talented anyway. Plus, I read reports she had her breasts done and other surgeries -- she isn't natural like I am. In the end, Snow White is the one who wins, not the Evil Queen."

Netizens who saw the photos and read the interview responded with comments such as, "You're sitting but you have absolutely no folded belly fat. It must be hard to hold your breaths like that.", "She's very cute with short hair, but still manages to be sexy. She's my role model.", "Was she talking about IU? I don't think IU would do that, but just in case it's true, I will take my Last Fantasy album to the store for a refund", "Did Kim Jong Il really date Trina Villota? Maybe that means HyunA will expand into the North Korean market. The starving prisoners trapped over there would appreciate her unique charms."

You can catch HyunA's full interview and photo spread in the December issue of Dazed & Confused.

INFINITE and Jessica Jiyeon sing for a cause

SBS MTV & Korea Cares have called upon the talent of White Entertainment & Woolim Entertainment in an effort to stop hunger for Christmas! Korea Cares ambassador Jessica Jiyeon & INFINITE’s Sunggyu, L, & Hoya hit some of Seoul’s improvised areas to give back to the less fortunate & spread a little holiday cheer for an upcoming special.

“This is such an amazing cause.” Jessica told AKF “No one deserves to wonder where their next meal is coming from, especially during the holidays!”

The singers went door to door, offering food & gift bags full of basic toiletries as well as copies of INFINITE’s holiday single “White Confession (Lately)” & Jessica’s “Last Winter”.

“Jessica is fearless.” Sunggyu revealed “She would just go up to people as if she knew them. She wasn’t worried about if they had weapons or would hurt her. She’s different from other idols we’ve worked with. She’s generous & kind hearted -”

“And beautiful.” L interjected, as Hoya nodded silently in agreement.

Jessica seems to have won the hearts & support of South Korea as her philanthropic activities in 2011 had her fighting for animal rights, aiding recovery & rebuilding efforts in Thailand after the country was devastated by flooding, and helped raise awareness about breast cancer, all in the name of Korea Cares.

“Being named as an ambassador was never a fluff title to me. A lot of performers get pushed into charity work to make their agencies look good. The work I do has nothing to do with White or Girls’ Revolution. It’s about knowing if I died tomorrow my legacy wouldn’t be how many music programs I won, how many CFs I secured, or how big I am in other countries. It’s about knowing that as small & insignificant as I am out of billions I stood up, I used my voice, & I made a difference.”

Once food delivery ended, Jessica & Sunggyu delighted onlookers with an impromptu acoustic cover of Clazziquai Project's "She Is" after which Sunggyu rejoined L & Hoya for a live rendition of INFINITE’s hit song “Nothing’s Over”, before the entire group gave a stirring performance of the 1947 Korean standard “The Sun Shines High Over Silla”, followed by a rousing version of "All I Want For Christmas Is You" lead by Jessica before departing.

"Sunggyu (INFINITE) & Jessica Jiyeon - She Is (Clazziquai Project cover live)" "INFINITE (L, Hoya, Sunggyu) - Nothing's Over (acoustic live ver.)" "Jessica Jiyeon & INFINITE (L, Hoya, Sunggyu) - The Sun Shines High Over Silla (live)"

INFINITE is set to return to Japan for promotion, while Jessica continues production on the upcoming SBS drama “The Seven of Us”, due out in January.

The special is scheduled to air on Christmas Eve.

Controversial new SBS drama “The Seven Of Us” due out early next year; cast revealed

Back in February, SBS revealed their plans to adapt the 2009 controversial bestselling novel “The Unfortunate Parks”. While public appetite for the book was high, many found some of the more adult content unsuitable for Korean television. After a lengthy battle with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Families, production of the newly titled "The Seven Of Us" was finally green-lit in late October.

The drama will revolve around the lives of the Park siblings: a Korean American family struggling to keep it together after the untimely deaths of their parents. First born Michael {played by Norazo’s Lee Hyuk, in his acting debut} is a failed lawyer who turns to alcohol to cope with his crumbling marriage & sudden responsibility of his six siblings, Timothy {played by ex TRAX drummer turned actor No Min Woo} comes to terms with his sexuality, college student Claire {played by White Entertainment singer Jessica Jiyeon} deals with a sexual assault & an unplanned pregnancy which results in a tragic decision, 16 year old Adam attempts to lead a normal life after the accident that took his parent’s lives also leaves him partially blind, while his identical twin Philip gets caught up in a dangerous lifestyle that leads to fatal consequences {played by YG Entertainment dancers Kwon Young Don & Kwon Young Deuk, aka “The Kwon Twins” - also making their acting debut}.

*the role of seven year old Molly will be played by Choi Hee Won, while the youngest Park sibling Henry will be played by Mavin Moon

The producers have promised not to shy away from the provocative story lines, and plan on taking advantage of the late night time slot to avoid offending those with more conventional sensibilities.

A planned 16 episodes will air on SBS Mondays & Tuesdays at 10:55 pm starting on January 16th.

Jessica Jiyeon says goodbye on Inkigayo

After taking top honors over T-ara’s “Cry Cry” on the latest unaired episode of Mnet’s M! Countdown, Jessica Jiyeon decided to wrap up promotions for her hit single “Last Winter” on yesterday's Inkigayo.

Jessica joined the ranks of such idols as SHINee, After School, f(x), B2ST, and MBLAQ with her version of the popular Traffic Safety Song, as this week’s PSA. Jessica is one of only two solo artists to record a version of the song {the first being Lee Hyori in 2008}.

“I’ve always wanted to do one!” Jessica excitedly told AKF “I'm so honored to have been asked.”

Jessica was able to deliver the meaningful message of the song, a collaborative campaign between SBS’ Inkigayo and the Korean Transportation Safety Authority, while fully displaying her friendly charms & unknown rap skills.

"I'm not a rapper but I had a lot of fun trying it out." Jessica laughed "I think I'll leave it to Tiffany from now on."

Later, she gave an emotional final performance of “Last Winter” alongside B2ST’s Jun Hyung, who sent the attending B2UTIES in the audience into hysterics after his absence from the previous week's episode. The two held hands & forced back their tears as the song ended. However, they were unable to remain unemotional as Jessica was later announced as the night’s winner.

With a successful single & three music program wins under her belt, Jessica has stated she plans on focusing on acting in the coming months.

“Music is my 1st love, but acting is something I‘ve wanted to do since I was a little girl. I don’t want to pile too much on my plate all at once like some people do & get burnt out. My goal is to avoid time in the hospital for exhaustion & pace myself. I’m in no rush with my career.”

Netizens had this to say about Jessica's farewell:

"I'm so happy for her! JESSICA FIGHTING!", "I just wanted to hold Jun Hyung oppa and never let him go!!! Men who cry are boyfriend material", "I'm glad she's finally done with this stupid song. 2NE1's "Lonely" shits bricks all over "Last Winter"!", and "Was this her first time rapping? She was actually pretty good! She's definitely better than a certain rapper from 4minute. Not as sexy though. I really need to stop watching the "Troublemaker" mv. It's doing something to my brain LOL"

Jessica Jiyeon wins her first Mutizen!

Jessica Jiyeon secured her 1st solo music program win on SBS’ Inkigayo tonight with her hit ballad, "Last Winter"!

The big-voiced diva snatched the victory from her close friends, the Wonder Girls, who have struggled with their comeback since returning to Korea with their new album last month.

"We were very disappointed to lose again," said Wonder Girl Sohee after the show. "I have lots of confidence on stage and try my best to make up for my voice, but the other girls are just too nervous, especially Lim. I think she has really ruined our comeback. I even blame her for breaking our trophy on M! Countdown. I just can't believe that we lose to SNSD all the time, especially when our album is so much better."

However, a frustrated Sohee continued and expressed her best wishes for Jessica's win.

"This is the only time that we have lost that I'm not upset," she explained. "Jessica is our sister, so all the Wonder Girls support her success. I don't think SNSD feel the same though; they looked upset when her name was read out, especially Taeyeon unnie."

To cement their friendship, the Wonder Girls joined Jessica on stage to perform "Last Winter" together, which was met with united cheers from the Wonderfuls and Jessters in the audience.

After the show wrapped up, Jessica and her manager, White Entertainment co-CEO KellyRose Spires, spoke openly to the media in an impromptu press conference held in the backstage hallway near SNSD's dressing room.

“We knew "Last Winter" would be the song to take Jessica to the top!" said KellyRose, quite loudly. "Jessica is too talented to not be a success. She isn't just one those model type artists that just use their looks to get by. "Last Winter" is real music that's driven by powerful vocals and deep lyrics."

"Jessica is very proud that she decided to work with a Korean composer for this song," she continued. "So that she can help pump money back into the local economy now that the song is a hot digital seller. Some people use foreign producers just to gain attention, but White Entertainment aren't like that at all. Please buy "Last Winter" on Soribada now if you want to support Korea during these hard economic times."

After the win and Kelly's bold comments, Netizens flooded to our forums to share their thoughts on what went down.

Comments included, "What Kelly says is true. Jessica may not be a full-blooded Korean, but she has the true spirit of this country pumping through her veins", "Don't Tiffany and Suzy work with foreigners all the time? And didn't Jessica work with JD Relic on "Bad Girl"? He's caucasian & American.", "I'm so happy for Jessica to have a victory over these big artists. Girls' Revolution should reform and ruin 2NE1's comeback.", and "Was anyone else laughing at Lim trying to mime along with Jessica, Yenny, & Sunye? They should have just made her stand off to the side & hold the Mutizen."

Jessica Jiyeon makes a cool comeback with "Last Winter"

After attracting controversy with her first mini-album 'Girl Without a Heart' last month, Jessica Jiyeon has made a powerful and startling transformation back into the girl next door image that we all know and love for her new digital single "Last Winter".

Jessica has ditched the dark concept and heavy electronic house beats of her last single "Bad Girl" in favor of a soulful, R&B ballad style that showcases her emotive and strong vocals. The song was composed by K-R&B legend Insooni's longtime producer Lee Hyun Seung, & features a rap verse from B2ST's Jun Hyung.

The lyrics tell the story of a woman coming to terms with the anger and resentment she felt over her broken relationship as she comes face to face with her ex.

"My voice screaming the cold words at you keep trembling

If I look at you, the hurt I tried to suppress feels like it will explode.

They were all memories that distanced and passed away from us like a movie

Every night I made a determination that I would not be shaken again."

"Go back down your path forgetting about me

I can't stop you, I couldn't if I wanted.

If I just extend my hands out you will be there, but I won't do that.

I couldn't if I tried."

Jessica's new style is bound to please her fans who were turned off by the singer's foray into dance music & reliance on shock imagery for "Bad Girl", which underperformed on the charts after it was banned from broadcast by KBS and criticized by the Ministry of Family & Gender Equality.

Speaking exclusively to AllKFlop, White Entertainment Co-CEO KellyRose Spires had this to say about Jessica's comeback: "Jessica was being pushed by a certain unnamed business partner of mine into releasing a style of music that she was not comfortable with. Vulgar lyrics and low-rent nude photoshoots are fine for some artists, but that's not who Jessica is. "Last Winter" is a new beginning for Jessica; it signifies her performing the type of music that she was born to do, and we are very confident that this song will appeal to the public in a way that no Girls' Revolution song, solo or otherwise, has before. Please support this song so we can beat Huh Gak on the charts."

"Last Winter", which was released to digital retailers earlier today, is already in the top five of most real-time charts, and has received an average rating of 4.5/5 stars from users. The only negative reception so far has been from 2NE1's Blackjacks, who have left many mean-spirited spam comments on Melon and Soribada.

Some of these comments included, "This song is BORING!", "Jessica who? Dara slays this bitch", and "Yawn, Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe was decent but this is so lame. 2NE1 please hurry up and come to America!"

Expect Jessica to set hearts aflame when she debuts "Last Winter' on Music Bank on the 11th alongside her close friends Wonder Girls. And as always, keep an eye on AKF for more.

Suzy Sooyoung & Tiffany Taeyeon show their explosive popularity!

Girls' Revolution may still be on an extended hiatus, but their popularity is proving to be higher than ever before!

Playboy Korea report that their recent spread with Suzy Sooyoung broke online traffic records last night after the idol's saucy snaps were uploaded to their official website. Within an hour of the photos being released, hungry netizens eager to see Suzy's uncensored charms flooded the website, causing servers to crash after traffic showed a spike of 970%.

According to their statistics, Playboy state that Suzy's photos were mostly accessed by their two core demographics -- young Korean males between the ages of 10-14, and older Japanese males between 60-70. There was also a large amount of female activity in the 14-18 age range, which Playboy is attributing to angry fangirls.

The physical copy of the magazine is proving to be a hot issue too, selling out in stores across the country despite only being released earlier this morning.

Speaking exclusively to AKF, a representative for Playboy had this to say, "Although we were disappointed that Suzy opted not to show more of her vagina in the shoot, we're very pleased at the interest the public have taken in her photos. The overwhelming reception to Suzy's unique shoot is a true testament to her popularity, as well as the insatiable hunger that Asians have for bizarre S&M fetish pornography."

Industry experts are predicting that by the end of the month, Suzy's issue could be one of the top ten highest-sellers in Playboy Korea's history. However, they are quick to point out that it will be impossible for Suzy to outsell the iconic 'Yoona Issue', which featured an exclusive photo of the SNSD frontwoman buying some groceries and sold 600, 000 copies on its first day alone back in January.

While Suzy is rocking the world of print media, her bandmate Tiffany Taeyeon has taken the small screen by storm!

Tiffany is currently in negotiations to permanently extend her guest role on popular K-Drama Busan Heights after her stint on the series brought in record-ratings for both her debut episode and the show's season three finale.

In last week's finale, the villainous Amber (played by Tiffany) was left slumming it in a Seoul strip club after being evicted from the Busan Heights' apartment complex when the residents discovered that she had blackmailed and kidnapped her older sister, Ryu, and then assumed her identity. Amber then has a nervous breakdown and goes insane, returning to Busan Heights with a machine gun to massacre her old neighbors in a violent act of revenge. The cliffhanger episode ended with Amber escaping after murdering most of the show's main characters, opening the door for a major cast shake up in season four.

K-TV Guide recently named Amber Moon-Ri as the #1 villain on Korean television in 2011, and her role has been credited as turning Busan Height's declining ratings around and establishing it as one of the country's top K-dramas. Producers are now said to be desperate to get her to return to the series, but may not be able to come up with the money to meet her outrageous pricing demands.

For the time being, Tiffany will continue on as Amber with a brief crossover guest-spot on Busan Height's sister show Gangnam Hills. Both shows are reportedly eager to boost their ratings even further by casting more Girls' Revolution members, with sources revealing to AKF that network bosses have reached out to Jessica Jiyeon, Suzy Sooyoung, and even rookie HyunA Knowles about potential roles. .

Suzy Sooyoung shocks as Playboy's November covergirl!

She's been quiet for a while, but Suzy Sooyoung is returning to the spotlight in a major way, covering the November issue of Playboy magazine!

The charming shoot reveals all the unique sides of Suzy that fanboys have been dying to see since she debuted, and also comes with an in-depth feature article that showcases a new and previously unseen color to the popular idol's personality.

Take a read of the article below.

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.
