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.
