Jessica Jiyeon reveals secrets about Suzy Sooyoung on Idol Closet

On the latest episode of Idol Closet, Jessica Jiyeon revealed a few secrets about her label mate, Suzy Sooyoung.

“Suzy was the maknae so Tiffany Taeyeon & I singled her out a lot.” she explained “There were a lot of pranks pulled during our pre debut days. Tiffany once gave her a facial made of mint & jalapeno paste. Lots of salt in sugar shakers, vinegar in water bottles…stuff like that.”

“For her 16th birthday I got her a signed Super Junior poster. She would kiss each member goodnight before bed & wish them a great night’s rest!” Jessica spilled “She would always wish Eunhyuk & Shindong oppas sweet dreams over any other members!”

Suzy, who’s sitting on the IC panel for August through October while comedic panelist Ryo Min Ri is on maternity leave, covered her face in embarrassment.

“It’s not true! Aigooooo!” Suzy whined while pulling aegyo baby faces.

“I once convinced her that if she slept with a mouth full of brown rice it would help her vocal cords heal faster. But she was so paranoid she would gain weight that she would run to the bathroom each morning and…” Jessica paused & stood, feigning purging, as the audience guffawed.

Netizens flooded the forums with comments on Jessica’s confessions: “Mint & jalapeno? So mean lol”, “EUNHYUK <33 I would kiss him & only him”, “But she weighs like nothing!! Why would she be paranoid?” “Idol Closet was better with Ryo Min Ri. Suzy doesn‘t add anything to the panel. She’s like beige wallpaper.”

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!

Heathers promote in Japan and debut on the Oricon Charts!

Hot new group the Heathers have spent the past week in Japan promoting their debut J-Pop debut 'Absolute First Album'.

The K-Pop duo have proven to be a big hit with Japanese fans, debuting at No. 9 on the official ORICON charts with their spring-themed single "Shady Girl". Their album has also done well, debuting one spot lower at No. 10, giving the pair two top entries and showing the popularity of Hallyu in Japan.

Speaking to our sister site TokyoDive, Heathers member Tiffany Taeyeon says, "When we first decided to debut in Japan before Korea, we were scared. Me and Jessica were worried that the fans would view us as strangers since all our individual success has been in Korea, but as soon as we began our promotions the Japanese fans gave us loud cheers and made us feel loved."

"The response has been wonderful," adds Jessica Jiyeon. "I'm part-Japanese, so to be accepted over here is extra special for me. To debut in the top ten fills me with happiness, and I promise to work hard alongside Tiffany to sustain the Heathers' success and show even better results in the future."

"Heathers will overtake all other K-Pop groups in Japan!" laughs Tiffany. "We are the most talented and beautiful. Fighting!"

To achieve their powerful results on the chart, Heathers have been working hard all week with non-stop promotional activities. To give Korean fans an insight into their Japanese schedules, the pair uploaded several charming photos of their promotions to their official Korean website.

The first photo shows the Heathers posing in Tokyo as they make their way to an official fan meet. The second is a curious and charming photo of Tiffany Taeyeon riding a robotic Panda on a variety show, and the third photo is from their "Shady Boy" performance on Music Japan.

The photos have already stirred interest from Netizens, due to the Heathers Harajuku fashion styles.

Comments included, "The Heathers must be really eager to chart in Japan if they wore those hideous clothes," "When will they leave stupid Japan and release the album in Korea?" and "Yay for Heathers and Hallyu! Korea is number one best country in the world, and most charming!"

The Heathers are now preparing to head back home for a few weeks to work on their individual Korean schedules, and will then return to Japan to continue their album promotions with a second single. A release date for the Korean version of Absolute First Album has yet-to-be announced.

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.

AKF readers, do you want to see Trina and White Entertainment on TV in their own show?

Suzy Sooyoung releases "Freedom"

A week ago AKF told you that singer Suzy Sooyoung would be releasing her second single album "Freedom", and now it's here!

The two-track album not only comes with Suzy's new single "Freedom", but also an exclusive b-side titled "Mouth Stains".

Speaking exclusively to AKF, Suzy says, "Freedom is a self-empowerment anthem with a strong message about letting go of your insecurities and being an individual. It's a celebration of life and self-expression, and I worked hard to ensure that listeners will instantly feel a sense of liberation and freedom when they hear it."

"I wrote most of the lyrics myself, which I'm very proud of because not many other idols write their own material. I also worked with top British producer Wayne Wilkins, who crafted the song's unique beat. He produced Cheryl Cole's two albums, so I knew I was in good hands. It was Wayne's idea to use the underground genre of dubstep in the song's production, which I think gives "Freedom" it's own special color."

You can listen to "Freedom" below.

Immediately after its premiere, netizens flocked to our forums to give their thoughts on "Freedom", with many having vastly different opinions on the new song.

"Suzy used to be so different to other idols, but this song just sounds like typical American pop", "I'm so proud of Suzy for working with a big foreign producer, it means hallyu is spreading", and "This song is so hot, I love the dubstep and the positive message because it reminds me of my favorite singer Jessie J."

While the song has received a mixed reaction so far, it's nothing compared to the official artwork, which has already caused an online frenzy due to Suzy's explicit nudity. When AKF tried to ask Suzy about the cover, White Entertainment co-CEO KellyRose Spires quickly stepped in to take over the question.

"The song is about being liberated and free, so Suzy felt that the artwork should reflect that," said KellyRose. "There is nothing more liberating than being without your material possessions, so we shot Suzy in her natural form while riding a Pegasus, which is a mythological creature that represents purity and freedom. The photo was shot tastefully and artistically, so there shouldn't be any controversy, but to avoid any potential problems with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, we've censored the artwork in the appropriate places."

"At the end of the day, Suzy has always been known for her artistic streak, and this is just another way for her to express herself while making a bold statement."

KellyRose's explanation hasn't done much to calm netizens, who have expressed their outrage and disgust over the cover being released.

"They have not censored this enough, she's still naked to me", "You call this art? To me it seems like an excuse for another White artist to take off their clothes", and "They say sex sells, but I don't think I'll be buying this one."

With such strong opinions surrounding Suzy's comeback, it will be interesting to see how she does on the charts! Will you be supporting the single?

Jessica Jiyeon covers Leona Lewis & talks about her break up on Mega Seoul FM

With the Heathers' debut Japanese album Absolute First Album now available, Jessica Jiyeon dropped in on Choi-La & Aok at Mega Seoul FM for a quick chat before departing for Tokyo to begin promotions with Tiffany Taeyeon.

After wowing the room & listeners with a cover of Leona Lewis’ Collide, Choi-La & Aok centered in on Jessica's recent heartbreak. The singer attempted to avoid the barrage of questions by smiling & focusing on Absolute First Album, before finally giving in.

“It was the first real relationship I ever had.”, Jessica revealed “It was so frustrating having everyone telling me to run. Maybe I stayed as an act of rebellion.”

Aok, known for his confrontational interview tactics, then asked about her alleged feud with 2NE1 leader & rumored mistress of Teddy Park, CL.

JESSICA: “What? Where are you getting your information from? There is no bad blood between CL & I. And I know for a fact there is nothing going on between her & Teddy. Besides, 2NE1 are just as busy as Heathers, if not more! Why go from one relationship where things are too manic to work to another?”

Choi-La tried to move the conversation forward but Aok returned to the breakup.

AOK: “So you say you stayed with Teddy as an act of rebellion…huh, that seems to run in your family. Wasn’t your stepfather & ex White Entertainment Chairman Park Su Kang recently arrested for tax evasion? And on top of that, aren’t the current CEOs his ex mistress & an ex drug addict turned mobster’s wife? White Entertainment are a joke! Trina Villota and KellyRose Spires should be run out of Seoul for their scandalous pasts!”

Jessica kept her composure throughout the inquisition and responded with: “I’m really excited for this album. Tiffany & I worked really hard on it. I hope it’s a success.”, before thanking the two & saying her goodbyes as she was ushered out of the room by a handler.

Netizens responded negatively to attack: “Too far Aok”, “Wow…I would have decked him!”, “She sounded better than Leona. Screw you Aok!”, “She handled things like a pro. I‘m proud of her.”

Bizarre Suzy Sooyoung selca causes alarm amongst netizens

An unflattering new selca of singer Suzy Sooyoung is causing upset and alarm amongst netizens.

The photo, which shows Suzy sticking her tongue out and making a bizarre facial expression, made its way online earlier today through Tiffany Taeyeon's Twitter account, after the Heathers starlet revealed the photo of her former Girls' Revolution bandmate along with this message: "Look at this photo of @SuzySooyoung! Ahahaha. I found it on her laptop, I think she took it herself! #ew"

The questionable picture resulted in an instant reaction from netizens, with many condemning Suzy's "ugly" pose.

"Why does this look weird and sexual? Suzy is a role model so she should not take these kinds of photos in case kids see them," "Her top is far too low-cut and revealing, and her face looks like she is doing something very bad. I hope nothing inappropriate went on when this picture was taken", and "With photos this horrid, Suzy should focus less on songwriting and spend more time trying to develop some alluring charms."

However, while many netizens slammed the photo, a small percentage have jumped to Suzy's defense, even going as far as to attack Tiffany for releasing it. "Suzy is just being silly, there is nothing wrong with this picture", "Egomaniac Tiffany is rude for taking private things off of Suzy's computer and putting them online. I think she is jealous and wants to make other girls look bad so she can be the best. SMH", and "There is no harm in taking an ugly picture if you are joking, but I hope that this doesn't tarnish Suzy's pretty image and make people think she is like this all the time."

Suzy nor Tiffany could not be reached for comment on the matter, but we will keep you updated on any further developments.

White Entertainment unveil their new 'Supermodel Idol' HyunA Knowles!

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?

EXCLUSIVE: Jessica & Teddy call it quits

You read it correctly.

Jessica Jiyeon and YG Entertainment producer Teddy Park have decided to end their 13 month relationship.

Rumors surfaced last year of a possible romance, but they were quickly squashed, after the two were spotted at a music event together shortly before Girls’ Revolution debuted. Weeks later it was confirmed to be true.

Netizens claimed that the relationship was scandalous due to the age difference {Jessica was 20 at the time; Teddy was 31} as well as Jessica's then rookie status. The two fought against public opinion & continued on, eventually becoming a beloved couple.

AKF contacted Teddy Park earlier and was able to get his thoughts on the ending of their romance.

“It was mostly an issue of time. We're both extremely busy and we never had any real moments for each other. I'll always care for her, and only wish good things for her in the future, but it was at a point where neither of us could make it work any longer.” Teddy told AKF.

Jessica was unreachable for a comment.

Suzy Sooyoung to make a "Freedom" comeback!

Former Girls' Revolution starlet Suzy Sooyoung will be making a comeback!

Hot on the heels of the announcement that her old bandmates Tiffany Taeyeon and Kelly Park have formed a new pop duo called the Heathers, White Entertainment have revealed that Suzy will be releasing a two-track single album sometime next week.

Speaking exclusively to AKF, White Entertainment said: "We wanted to ensure that Girls' Revolution's Korean fans did not feel left out by the Heathers' Japanese promotions, so we have secretly prepared a single release from Suzy to be sold exclusively in Korea."

"Suzy's single is a very special song titled "Freedom". It's about letting go of your insecurities and feeling empowered. Suzy hopes that the song's message will connect with fans everywhere and give them the confidence they need to deal with the stresses of their daily lives."

"As a songwriter and musician, Suzy worked closely with producers to create a song that would reflect her own personal tastes. "Freedom" is very different to anything in the market today, as it features influences from the underground 'dubstep' genre of music. "Freedom" will be paired with an exclusive B-side "Mouth Stains", which is a fast-paced and edgy electronic track with lots of auto-tune about confronting an unfaithful lover."

"Suzy has prepared a fresh concept to match her new music, and she looks forward to revealing it to her fans later this week."

Immediately after news of Suzy's comeback was made public, netizens flocked to our forums to share their thoughts on her impending return.

Netizens wrote, "I hope she continues the alternative sound of her first album 'The Muted Show'", "Yay, Suzy is back, but didn't Britney Spears already do dubstep?" and "I am so happy that Suzy will be doing electro music now, I think it will be a hit for her!"

Super Junior's Siwon chooses seasonal girlfriends

On the latest episode of Idol Closet, Super Junior’s Siwon was asked who he considered his perfect female idol matches based on the four seasons.

“I think I would choose Tiffany Taeyeon for spring. She exudes this fresh and sexy charisma that matches the mood of the season. But, like spring, she can also be temperamental. That’s the woods for the trees, I guess.” he explained.

“For summer I’d have to go with Sam from Nine Muses. Summer to me represents heat and sophistication. Sam is like a walking supernova!”

“Autumn is such an understated season: the weather is changing, leaves, etc. I think of people returning to school, settling in. Jessica Jiyeon represents the scholastic girlfriend I’d find in autumn.” he continued.

“For winter my only choice would be Krystal from f(x). I’m not as outgoing as I seem on variety shows or on stage, and I’d need someone headstrong & beautiful to carry me through the harsh months.” *{looks to the camera}* “Krystal, would you carry your oppa? kekeke”

Netizens flocked to the forums to comment: “I’d carry you Siwon OPPA!”, “Are we thinking of the same Sam? Siwon oppa you might want to get glasses.”, “I’d take Jessica & Tiffany ANY day!^^”.

Girls' Revolution sub-unit 'Heathers' announce their Japanese "Shady Boy" debut!

After months of speculation, the rumored Girls' Revolution sub-unit has been confirmed!

Comprising of leader Tiffany Taeyeon and vocalist Kelly Park of the now-defunct Girls' Revolution, Heathers will make their official debut in Japan on August 7 with the release of their first single "Shady Boy".

The duo will also release their first full-length album 'Absolute First Album' on the same day.

Trina Villota, CEO of the Heathers' agency White Entertainment, had this so say about their comeback:

"Fans were disappointed when Girls' Revolution broke up, so we decided to create a special sub-unit to carry on the group's legacy."

"Tiffany and Kelly have been working hard for months to prepare for their debut. They've spent endless hours in the studio recording to ensure that their new music surpasses the quality of Girls' Revolution. They've trained hard in both singing and dancing to show a greater improvement in their upcoming live performances, so we ask that you please anticipate their debut."

"We will be targeting Japan first to avoid having to compete with Super Junior's 'Mr. Simple' promotions, but a Korean version of the Heathers 'Absolute First Album' is due out in the near future. We hope that the Korean fans can be patient while the Heathers undertake their Japanese activities."

To hype up fans for their debut, the Heathers have released several mysterious teaser photos that are guaranteed to shock with their dark imagery. In the pics, the Heathers can be seen posing in a dimly-lit bathroom; both of them are dressed provocatively in matching black mini-dresses, high heels, and suggestive blonde 'Britney Spears-style' hair.

The photos have sent netizens into a frenzy, causing debate and argument over their true meaning.

"These pictures are shocking to me. They must be planning to debut with a very edgy sound and style, but have they gone too far?" "Thank God they aren't going for a cute aegyo style. Heathers fighting!" and "I was a fan of Girls' Revolution, so I am very excited for the Heathers! I just hope one day they can all stand on the stage as three again."

Stay tuned to AllKFlop for more news on the Heathers debut!

Outrageous 'closed eyes' photo sends shockwaves through Korea

A new photo of former Girls' Revolution singers Tiffany Taeyeon and Suzy Sooyoung has rocked the K-Pop industry at its core, but it's not for the reason that you may think.

While fans were shocked to see the two frenemies spending time together again after their in-fighting originally caused Girls' Revolution to split, the photo is gaining the most attention for Suzy's curious 'eyes closed' pose, which has confused netizens throughout Korea.

"Why would she close her eyes in such a pretty photo?" netizens commented. "I don't understand this at all. She can't have had the sun in her eyes because Tiffany is posing properly, so it makes no sense for her to close her eyes in this manner." "Was Suzy sleepy? Her agency works her too hard."

News of the controversial photo has reportedly spread into the North, after insurgents were spotted smuggling several printed copies of the picture over the heavily-armed border.

Jamie Metzl, Executive Vice President of the Asia Society, tells AKF that the image will most likely be used as an anti-propaganda tool to battle North Korea's violent dictatorship.

"An image like this will serve as a vital tool in the fight for freedom in North Korea," says Metzl. "It shows North Korean citizens that it's OK to go against the norm and be individual, despite what your society or government may tell you. Even though Suzy's closed eyes may have been a simple mistake, the act in itself will look defiant when seen by North Korean citizens, and it may inspire them to start questioning the leadership in their country."

Netizens dig up footage of pre debut Girls' Revolution

Girls' Revolution recently had footage of their trainee days uncovered by netizens!

The video (shot in winter 2007) shows the talented teenage trio dancing to the hit song "Tell Me" by K-Pop giants, Wonder Girls.

Even at such a young age their star power was apparent, as well as maknae Suzy's aeygo (evidenced by her pigtails), leader Tiffany's charismatic style, & main vocalist Jessica's fierce determination. The video has reportedly left the Wonder Girls themselves stunned & appreciative of their peers.

Netizens chimed in with their thoughts. “Tiffany commanded my full attention!”, “Jessica looks so different here! Her surgeries really helped bring out her natural beauty.”, "Suzy's pigtails were adorable :}"

Quite the change from the fierce women we’re used to seeing!

Tila Caffarelli to become Suzy Sooyoung!

Teen idol and former Girls' Revolution member Tila Caffarelli has officially changed her name to Suzy Sooyoung.

Her agency White Entertainment said exclusively to AllKFlop:

"Fresh from her stay in rehab for exhaustion, Tila decided to leave the past behind and reinvent herself with a new grown-up image. She felt it was time to move on and start over with her life and career, and she promises to work twice as hard to win the love of her fans. Suzy asks that you please support her through this transition."

To prepare for her comeback, K-Pop's hottest maknae is on a special diet to get back to her old figure, consisting of no more than 1100 calories per day!

On forums, shocked Netizens have commented:

"why? her name was so unique before!", "I miss tila, oops suzy :P" , "suzy is the perfect name for a maknae ^^", "she has always been very skinny. Now I am scared she will go too far."

Suzy Sooyoung is set to make her comeback in end of August.
