Heathers cause a scandal with red carpet fashion flop

Girls' Revolution's J-Pop sub-unit Heathers have been labelled "desperate" and "offensive" by the Japanese media.

Heathers' duo Jessica Jiyeon and Tiffany Taeyeon strutted their stuff on the red carpet yesterday at the opening of Tokyo Fashion Week, but their stylish ensembles have failed to impress local fashion critics. On this morning's episode of Idol Fashion Police, celebrity fashion bloggers Mademoiselle Yulia and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu singled out the K-Pop duo as the worst dressed stars of the night.

"Let's start with blondie first," said Yulia, live on-air. "This look might be cute for an afternoon picnic, but on the red carpet at Fashion Week? You've got to be kidding me. It's like a joke, but nobody's laughing."

"I totally agree with you," Kyary responded. "I can't for the life of me understand what possessed her to wear this on the red carpet. She has ballet flats on for God's sake! It almost feels like she tried to personally attack Japanese culture by under-dressing at one of our country's most prestigious events; it's as if she's saying, 'I don't care about Japan or Japanese fashion, so I'm not going to put any effort into my look.' Frankly, I was offended."

After cruelly laying into Jessica, the fashion critics turned their attention over to her bandmate, Tiffany Taeyeon.

"Okay, now let me start off by saying that the actual outfit is nowhere near as bad as Jessica's was," said Kyary. "Tiffany seems to understand that this is a red carpet event and not afternoon tea, and she's dressed accordingly, but I feel like her look is more Milan or Paris Fashion Week than it is Tokyo Fashion Week. I mean, does she even know that she's in Japan? Didn't Heathers have a hit here recently with that awful Shady song? She needed less Euro in her look, and more Oriental. Tiffany's acting like every other Korean Idol by coming here and using us to make money, while refusing to accept any of our culture. Ugh."

"That's your biggest problem, Kyary?" chimed in Yulia. "You haven't mentioned the hair! That's the biggest crime here. I look at the Galliano platform shoes and I love them, then I look up at her head and I just think to myself, 'What were you thinking?' The whole head-shaving thing is so three years ago now -- it was like Tiffany was racking her pea-brain to find any cheap stunt she could to snatch the spotlight on the red carpet, but it completely backfired. If she were Cassie in Milan four years ago, then maybe this whole look would have worked, but today? Fail."

"It was definitely desperate," Kyary responded. "For Tiffany it's about the attention, not the art. I was at the event yesterday, and I saw Tiff working the red carpet for over an hour, posing for pictures and talking to every reporter that she could find, but when she was finally finished, she didn't even go inside to see the show! I saw her get back into her waiting limo and drive off, leaving Jessica to go in alone."

After naming Tiffany and Jessica as the worst dressed of the night, Kyary and Yulia gave Japanese singer Koda Kumi and Idol group AKB48 the best dressed honor. The pair praised Kumi's daring red carpet look of a thong bikini with pasties and thigh-high boots, and were impressed with AKB48's matching school uniforms.

Moments after Idol Fashion Police finished, Korean Netizens who had been streaming the program online flooded message boards to vent their objections over the harsh criticism that the Heathers received, with many accusing Kyary and Yulia of being racist towards Koreans.

Comments included, "They have a bias against Korea! They're FILTHY ANTIS!", "Jessica and Tiffany obviously went for a dual concept look -- Jess was soft and innocent, and Tiff was dark and more structured -- clearly these so-called fashion experts missed the whole point," and "These whale killers are just pressed that the Hallyu wave is taking over their ugly sumo country and that Koreans are outshining all their artists on the charts. HEATHERS FIGHTING!"

It looks like Heathers' trip down the red carpet is about to become a bigger deal than they ever could have imagined! Stay tuned to AKF as this controversial story evolves.

Netizens choose their idol best friends

Last week AllKFlop.com posted a question asking: “who would you choose as your idol best friend?”. With a resounding 3,734 votes White Entertainment’s Jessica Jiyeon came out on top as the clear winner!

Jessica’s easy going nature, extreme humbleness, & well documented work with Korea Cares left a great impression in the hearts of fans everywhere, with netizens commenting: “With everything she’s been through this year the fact that she can put it aside, put on a smile, and help others is inspiring to me!”, “She’s so open & comforting. I feel like I can tell her anything”, “Bubble tea soul sisters 4EVA!!!”, “No matter how much is put in her way she continues on. JESSICA FIGHTING!”

In 2nd place was Dream High actress & “Good Day” singer IU, followed by 2NE1’s Dara in 3rd, miss A’s Jia in 4th & After School’s Raina in 5th.

At the bottom of the list, Jessica’s Heathers group mate Tiffany Taeyeon received only two votes and several negative comments, with many voicing their thoughts on her recent opinions toward her fellow idols, her growing ego, and worsening body issues: “Sure she’s pretty but that’s it”, “Maybe she should worry less about her weight & more about how she comes off to others. All the pretty in the world can’t cover a sour attitude”, “She should take the time to better her Japanese. Has anyone else seen the recent footage of Heathers at Universal Studios Japan? She just stumbled around the stage like a bad Rihanna impersonator, as the backing track did most of the rapping SMH”, “I pity any idols who have to put their peers down to feel better about themselves…but not enough to vote for her!”

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 and Jessica Jiyeon look like mother and daughter?

[Via Tokyo-Dive]

Heathers duo Tiffany Taeyeon and Jessica Jiyeon recently filmed a special segment on Japanese variety show J-P!NGO to mark the end of their debut album promotions.

The popular Korean beauties revisited the original location that they shot their 'Absolute First Album' artwork in, where they discussed their Japanese debut over an afternoon snack of green tea and raw sushi. The episode isn't due to air until next week, but an official promotional photo has already caught the attention of netizens. In the photo, Tiffany can be seen exuding a youthful glow with minimal makeup, a pink butterfly tank top, and her golden blonde locks tied into charming pigtails. Jessica towers above her in a large antique chair, sporting a classic grandfather-style bowler hat, paired with a revealing frilled bra and skimpy hot pants that illuminate her womanly curves. Her hands are clasped firmly in her lap, giving off a mature aura similar to a stern school principle. The difference in the girls' looks has netizens likening them to a mother and daughter, rather than a top-selling idol duo!

The picture quickly became a No. 1 item on Asian search portals, attracting many comments from Japanese uncle fans like, "Tiffany looks so young and supple, just like my precious little angels AKB48," "The younger, the better," and "She still looks too old."

While uncle fans were sent into a frenzy by Tiffany's youthful looks, netizens had a different take on the Heathers' look.

"They really do look like mother and daughter. They should join my family!", "Tiffany's aegyo is immature and annoying. I prefer Jessica's womanly charms." and "Jessica only looks older because of her many surgeries, but I'm glad she got them because it's how she got that hourglass figure that I love."

Tiffany is due to return to Korea soon to begin work on several projects, while Jessica will remain in Japan to promote the local release of Rocker Princess.

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.

5 Things JESSICA JIYEON Can't Live Without

Jessica Jiyeon took some time out of her busy schedule to chat with AKF about 5 things she can’t live without!

1. Bubble Tea

“I’m addicted to bubble tea! I treat myself to it all the time. Hard day? Bubble tea! Successful live stage? Bubble tea! A baby cries, a dog barks, the sun rises…BUBBLE TEA!!!”

2. Mariah Carey’s “Daydream” album

“It’s so clichéd at this point to call Mariah Carey your idol. Every power vocalist throws her name in when they name their favorites…for good reason! I listen to the album EVERYDAY. You can ask Tiffany LOL"

"“Always Be My Baby” is the song that inspired me to want to become a singer, and let‘s not forget about “Fantasy”! Such a flawless album. No one makes albums like that anymore…not even Mariah.”

3. Golden Girls: The Complete Series

“We travel so often now that I rarely can keep up with all my favorite dramas. I always have my portable DVD player & my Golden Girls DVDs available during down time.”

[AKF: “Which of the girls would you say you were? You can include Tiffany Taeyeon & Suzy Sooyoung as well.”]

“I’m totally a Dorothy! I’m headstrong & frank, with a kind & loyal heart. Tiffany is 100% Blanche! I won’t go into details on that, and Suzy is a Rose: sweet & innocent, with a hidden feisty side!”

4. Voice spray

“Both Mariah & Christina Aguilera swear by it. Aren’t they two of the greatest singers alive? I rest my case.”

5. Dooly

“My Dooly doll! I’m a child of the 80’s. What can I say? LOL I never travel without Dooly. I’m not ashamed to admit that.”

Tiffany Taeyeon reveals the idol friendships of Girls' Revolution members

Girls' Revolution leader Tiffany Taeyeon recently made an appearance on MBC's variety program Golden Fishery, where she was quizzed by host The Knee-Drop Guru about her friendships with other idols. Tiffany is well-known for her arrogant attitude and dislike of rival idols, so the Guru was surprised when she revealed that she is close to popular girl group T-ara.

"I have had a close bond with T-ara since last year," she said. "Especially Eunjung and Jiyeon. They are the prettiest and most popular members of the group, just like I was when Girls' Revolution was active, so we have that in common. T-ara is a group that is very skilled in many different areas, like acting and modelling, and they change their image often like I do, so I feel I can relate to them more than groups like 2NE1, who have limited skills."

"Sometimes CCM will give T-ara a fifteen minute break if they complete their weekly schedules on time," she continued, "so I visit their dorm and trade beauty secrets with some of the members. We always send Boram to the kitchen to make us sweet dumplings while we chat, and Hwayoung usually goes into her room when I come over."

When asked why Hwayoung doesn't sit with the others, Tiffany replied, "Well, her sister is in that 5dolls group..." she said uncomfortably, trailing off. "I just think that it's better to spend most my time with Eunjung and Jiyeon."

Intrigued by Tiffany's revelation, The Knee-Drop Guru asked if her labelmates at White Entertainment had any idol friendships of their own.

"Jessica unnie is friends with Wonder Girls," she said. "She and Yenny are very close, and when I struggle with Heathers promotions, Jessica teases me and says Yenny has more talent and will replace me. It makes me upset, but then I taunt her back by saying she looks like Lim's twin, and she stops."

"Also, Suzy is close with SECRET," Tiffany continued. "I always leave when SECRET visit our dorm because Sunhwa annoys me, but usually only Ji Eun comes over so it's okay. Jessica gets so mad when Ji Eun arrives because she thinks she stole one of her concepts for her solo single."

Tiffany then opened up about White Entertainment's newest recruit, HyunA Knowles. "To my knowledge, HyunA doesn't have any idol friends yet. She is still a rookie, so most of the popular idols avoid her backstage at music programs, but I did see her chatting happily with Stellar once. And just last week, the leader of Swing Girls called our dorm asking to speak with HyunA, but I hung up the phone as soon as I knew who it was."

Tiffany is currently dividing her time between Korean variety show activities and her Heathers' promotions in Japan, but she will be back permanently next month with a new solo album.

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!

Homme snag Suzy Sooyoung for "Man Should Laugh" remix

Almost concluding promotions for their single "Man Should Laugh", K-Pop duo Homme are planning on releasing an official Summer remix to the song featuring Girls' Revolution singer Suzy Sooyoung.

Announcing the collaboration on their website earlier this week, the duo wrote: "Soon we will release a special 'Summer Remix' of "Man Should Laugh" with Suzy Sooyoung, titled "Woman Should Laugh, Too". It's an upbeat song about how a woman can charm you with her laughter."

Speaking exclusively to AKF about the remix, Suzy said, "I love Homme's music, and after meeting them in the Music Bank waiting room I told them that it wasn't fair that only men should laugh, so I had the bold idea of remixing the song in a way that females could relate to. After gaining many new skills through my "Freedom" promotions, I am excited to present an improved image of myself alongside Homme."

When asked about the upcoming remix song on yesterday's episode of Strong Heart, Homme revealed, "We didn't plan this single, and at first the idea made us uncomfortable because we weren't fans of Suzy's single "Freedom", but then she wouldn't stop calling us about it. When we didn't answer, she had her agency phone ours, and our chairman decided that it would be a good idea. He said Suzy had many feminine charms that would appeal to both men and women, and that collaborating with her would make us seem unique, so now we are pleased to do the remix."

The news about this remix became a hot topic on forums, dividing opinion between netizens:
"What copycats. This reminds me of Eamon and Frankee", "Summer remix? Um, it's Autumn in Korea now," "Homme is my bias and I will do bad things to Suzy if she tries to kiss them," "Women deserve laughing too of course, and pretty one like Suzy need it most. Sorry for my bad English."

"Women Should Laugh, too (Summer Remix)" will be released later this month. In the meantime, you can still catch Suzy promoting her solo single "Freedom", which has reached the top ten of the GAON charts.

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!

Jessica Jiyeon and 4minute's Sohyun are moon twins?

Jessica Jiyeon's new pixie-cut hairstyle is attracting attention from netizens due to its uncanny resemblance to 4minute's Sohyun!

Netizens have been unable to tell the two idols apart since Jessica got the chop, with many commenting on the many physical similarities the pair share, even dubbing them "the moon twins" due to their circular facial features.

Comments included, "they both have the same round heads, like a full moon on a summer's night," "Sohyun and Jessica look like big adorable bowling balls," and "Their short hair makes me think of them as twin brothers, not twin sisters."

Sohyun publicly addressed the similarities between herself and Jessica on yesterday's Strong Heart.

"When I first saw Jessica's short hair, I was shocked," Sohyun admitted. "But then I was flattered that she would try and emulate me. It must mean that I have many desirable charms, so now I feel encouraged to try and improve my weaknesses to become even more enviable to my fellow Idols."

"Jessica is a very talented singer," she continued. "So I hope that her vocal ability rubs off on me since my image already rubbed off on her."

"When people tweet me and say that me and Jessica look like moon twins, it makes me feel a sense of pride. The moon is a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Korea, so any resemblance to it can only bring positive things."

Sohyun then pleased netizens by expressing her desire to collaborate with Jessica.

"If Tiffany unnie doesn't mind, I would like to record a song with Jessica one day," she revealed. "It could be a traditional Korean trot song to celebrate Chuseok and the Harvest Moon. I'm sure it would do better than Jessica's last single, so she should welcome the opportunity I am extending to her."

We tried to reach Jessica for a comment on Sohyun's collaboration request, but she was unavailable due to her busy Japanese schedules with the Heathers.

Jessica Jiyeon: "Suzy saved my life"

Heathers appeared on the latest episode of Strong Heart along with Sunny Hill this week. While Tiffany Taeyeon entertained the crowd with a story of her attempt to secure an autograph from SHINee's Jonghyun by dressing up as a giant panda & dancing to "Love Like Oxygen" for his birthday during her trainee days, it was Jessica Jiyeon’s confession involving Suzy Sooyoung that shocked the audience.

Jessica recounted one harrowing night shortly before Girls’ Revolution’s debut when, while making her way into the dorm, she was accosted by a man in a ski mask.

“He pulled me into this little hallway that connected our dorm to the elevators & put his hand over my mouth.” she recalled “He had a knife against my chest. It was the most frightening thing I’ve ever gone through.”

“I couldn’t even scream for help…” she said softly, as tears began to fall down her face. Sunny Hill’s Janghyun passed her his gold & fuchsia handkerchief as she continued “Suddenly, he’s yanked away from me! I was so stunned by what had just happened it took me a second to realize Suzy had arrived, grabbed him by his shirt collar, & flung him to the ground! She was attacking him with all her might!”

After she finished her story, host Lee Seung Gi gave her a chance to send Suzy a message.

“Suzy…I never say it enough, but your unnie really does love you. You’re like the little sister I never had. Thank you for being you. Thank you for saving my life.”

Suzy Sooyoung attacks Lee Hyori

Suzy Sooyoung caused a stir on last night’s episode of Idol Closet, when mega star Lee Hyori stopped by to talk about her busy year & planned comeback. Suzy attempted to get a word in over main panelists and hosts TaeJun & Alan Kwon without much luck.

When Alan turned the focus to Hyori’s controversial mv for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Suzy inexplicably decided to ask about her 2010 charges of plagiarism. When Hyori ignored the question and continued her conversation with Alan, Suzy shouted over the two and spoke informally.

“Lee Hyori! Please tell us about the material you were accused of stealing!”

The show was rushed to commercial and when it returned, Suzy had been pulled from the panel.

Netizens flooded the forums following Suzy's attack: “Who does Suzy think she is?”, “Did you see Hyori’s face? She was so embarrassed. Keep your head up, Hyori!”, “ The show hasn't been good since she joined.”, "But didn't Hyori admit that her manager stole the songs? Yes Suzy spoke informally & out of turn, but she had a right to bring it up."

“Rocker Princess” is a hit!

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

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

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

SISTAR call upon INFINITE and Heathers for their “Ma Boy is So Cool” variety special

Starship Entertainment superstars SISTAR have gathered the combined talents of INFINITE and Jessica Jiyeon & Tiffany Taeyeon of Heathers for their SBS musical variety show, “Ma Boy is So Cool”!

While the fierce foursome wowed the crowd with their hits “Push Push” & “How Dare You“, as well as their current chart topper “So Cool”, Heathers gave all Girls' Revolution fans a treat by performing their 2010 debut single "Tilt Yo Head". INFINITE gave a quick tutorial of their “Be Mine” routine to a lucky audience member before performing a r&b remix version of the summer hit.

Netizens reacted positively to a Dream High parody which included Hyorin in prosthetic teeth & expressionless acting as Hye Mi, Tiffany Taeyeon with an endless supply of thumbtacks as Baek Hee, Jessica Jiyeon as Pil Suk whose weight magically fluctuates whenever she’s around Jason played by special guest Kan of F.Cuz, and INFINITE's L, Dongwoo, & Sungjong as the brooding Jin Guk.
