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. .

HyunA Knowles is the October Cover Girl for MAXIM!
HyunA Knowles has landed her first magazine cover!
The 'Supermodel Idol' is the October cover girl for Korean men's magazine, MAXIM.
HyunA captivates with her beautiful curves, posing in a black mini-dress with her hair styled in a natural, but glamorous fashion.
Fans commented, "OMG! She's a true goddess. So beautiful!", "There aren't many people who can pull off this look. Only HyunA and Swing Girls can do it the best.", "Her legs are like McDonald's... Open All Night!", "I'm so jealous of her long legs. Can I get that by having plastic surgery?"
During an interview on the set of the photoshoot, HyunA shared some deep thoughts on her career and her labelmates from White Entertainment, "This is my first magazine feature. I'm so happy that I can be on the cover, looking sexy and fierce as usual," she humbly revealed.
"My career is finally on its way to the top. My new single, '(Gurlz) Break Yo' Ankle!', debuted at No. 63 on GAON Chart. I told myself that this single must enter Top 100 of the GAON Chart, or else I will retire from the music industry and go home to marry some Indian man my mom chose for me. I'm so glad it didn't happen, and that I'm still here."
"I wanna say thank you very much to Brave Brothers who produced 'Gurlz' for me. I feel that I can connect with the song because once my leg was injured during my trainee days, so he thought Gurlz will be a hit if it's sung by me."
"I also wan to clear the rumors about me having a private meeting with Brave Brothers in his apartment. First, it has nothing to do with me winning the song. Second, we weren't alone. Tiffany and Suzy unnies were there too. We were playing mah-jong. Tiffany unnie loves playing mah-jong so much, but we have to get 4 people to play it. So Tiffany unnie called Brave Brothers and then we slept over at his apartment, playing mah-jong all night long. I lost about 100.000 won that day."
On being praised by her impressive rap skills in Jessica Jiyeon's new single 'Love Is', HyunA said, "I know it's very good, but it's not my best. It took me only two times to record it. But I don't understand why people don't like my singing. They said it's hideous. I think it's very good, I can sing like SISTAR's Hyorin, but to be honest, instead of being a good rapper, I choose to become a pop diva, just like my idol Nicki Minaj."
HyunA then revealed some scandalous details on her labelmates at White Entertainment.
"Tiffany unnie used to be very mean to me. I said that my leg was injured, right? Tiffany unnie did that. I was practicing my Ciara dance moves. Tiffany unnie seemed jealous of my talent, so she kicked my leg and I fell on the floor. I had to rest for 2 months, that's why my debut date was pushed back."
"I thought Jessica unnie was mentally ill. She was very sweet at first, but she changed drastically and become evil one day. But on the next day, she's sweet all over again. I asked Suzy unnie what happened to her, but she didn't know either. It happens at least once a month. Anyway, Jessica unnie's new album is very good. People should buy it. The songs represent what happened to her with Teddy Park."
"Suzy unnie has always been kind to me. She's the one that helped me when I first came to White Entertainment. She taught me about how to turn on the TV and not to talk with CEO Trina Villota when she's wandering around nakedly in the office. She said it means she's in a bad mood."
After reading HyunA's interview on MAXIM, netizens flooded our forum to share their thoughts, commenting: "HyunA is very sweet. She has a lady attitude.", "Tiffany is so mean. I heard she tried to cut Jessica's hair when she was sleeping because it's so beautiful and has so much shine.", "Suzy is the one who taught HyunA? I thought she's stupid.", "What kind of president is that?!?! I want to work at White Entertainment!"
MAXIM's October issue is on newsstands now.
