JAPANESE CHART SONG CONTROVERSY



A POP group from Japan has had a mixed reaction from one of their music videos.

The Dirty Eyed Girls are a gay music group and have recently released single Abracadabra.

Skimpy outfits, tight tops and lip gloss are things you would associate with a girl pop group - but this time the men have taken over.

Prancing around in leather and spandex, images include one man giving another man a massage and gazing into each others eyes!

Despite the mixed reaction in Japan, the song has been a big hit in the Japanese gay community.

But there are fears it could send out the wrong message to youngsters who follow the pop charts on a regular basis.

The singing is so bad, they will probably switch off early into the song anyway.

Yes, this is an actual article. I am shaking my head. Oh, journalism. You fail me.

It was reported that G-Dragon (real name: Kwon Ji-Yong) will be called by the police to be investigated for his concert, which is suspected to have shown unlawful materials to teenagers. His solo concert in last December caused many controversies because of many indecent acts including sex simulation and violence.

Police stated that they already had finished investigating the background information regarding the case. They commented, “We are looking at past decisions on similar cases. We are focusing (the case) on the affects on teenager audience. We might interview upon both producer and the singer of the concert.”

The law states that indecency in concert could be penalized up to less than one year in prison and $5,000 in fine.

OH SHED

Kpop Gossip

Park Jin young answered the question 'Who is the most expected member in 2pm' (I assume this means "which member do you expect the most from in the future") through KBS 2TV’ Sweetnight, on Jan, 5.

"It is Wooyoung. I see the possibility that he will be much more developed in the future. At present, he only shows less than half of his capability. He does not seem to acknowledge his splendid dancing and singing skills” He revealed.

He also told about the member ‘who is better that he has expected.’ The answer is Nichkhun. “Formerly, he did not want to be a singer so I was worried about his singing and dancing but I do not think any of that right now."

Moreover, Park jin Young smiled while he was talking about his nickname ‘A gorilla eating ttok’ that “ I was sad when I stayed in the states since I do not like western food. I only ate Korean food, especially ttok, so photos of me eating it were taken. Now I rarely eat it.”

There is photos of him eating ttok regardless of time and places so he received this nickname, ‘A gorilla that eats TTok’

KBS 2TV' Sweetnight will be aired for the first time on this Jan, 10 at 11.15 (Korean time)

For those unfamiliar with dduk/ttok.

Woo & Khun are my absolute favorites in 2PM so it was nice to see that JYP thinks this way :)

Younha was hospitalized on the 1st and since then, her condition has worsened. At first, people thought the symptoms were that of the swine flu, but it has been officially announced that her sickness is not related to the h1n1 virus.

Because of her condition, Younha missed KBS' Music Bank on the first as well as MBC's Music Core the following day.

Ongoing developments on Younha has been released and her agency has disclosed that, "on the 3rd and 4th, she had fallen into a coma and is still struggling with a high fever. Her laryngitis is still severe and is showing signs of pneumonia, but yesterday and today her condition is a lot better."

They also said, "We cannot fully determine if she will be able to do her performances this week."

Even though Younha is unable to perform, fans are still showing their support for Younha and her single "오늘 헤어졌어요 (Broke Up Today)" is currently in the top ten on various internet music charts.

Jfc I hope she gets better.

I now have 106 volunteer hours. This means working an average of 35 hours a month. The best part is that I am scheduled to work 12. Leslie had me stay an extra few hours this afternoon to supervise some of the newbies. 8D;

I don't have much else to add, but I'm trying to update with more regularity. I'm making an attempt at commenting a lot more on other entries, too, because I DO read everything on my flist. ♥ I'm a bit sick right now so I'm getting to be soon, and I hope everyone else gets some good rest too!

My new fandom has eaten me alive. Written for sheishungry, more or less. I MUST LOVE YOU, BB.

On New Years Day, cutie IU got together with Yoseob of BEAST for a special performance of Marshmallow on KBS Music Bank. Well this didn't sit well with the BEAST / Yoseob fans as they went to her cyworld minihompy and posted many negative comments which caused her to shut down her minihompy.

This isn't the first time that this has occurred as Ivy's minihompy was attacked by 2PM fans in November.

Many of the BEAST / Yoseob fans left profanity laced negative comments, there were some fan boys of IU defending her but they were greatly outnumbered. Quite unfortunate that fan girls can get so jealous over a harmless innocent performance. Thanks to elusive for the tip.

I love wintry photo shoots. :D
BTW, in case you guys want to know their names, I just found their soompi page here. :)

Apparently a writer at the Dutch website DePers thinks so! On January 4, our hawk-eyed reader Chimizu spotted an article on the site titled "Taboo in China" that featured a ridiculous "Chinese gay film." As you've probably guessed, this video was no porno but none other than 2AM and 2PM's viral and absolutely hilarious Dirty Eyed Girls music video.

I only wish it were under happier circumstances. Park Ye Jin, Lee Chun Hee, and Park Shi Yeon will return to Family Outing for its finale, finale as in ending, last episode, it’s over, etc. The filming for the finale will be held on January 11th and 12th. It was previously reported that Yoo Jae Suk and Park Shi Yeon would be leaving the show and that the future of the show was in jeopardy because of that and numerous scandals regarding the ‘reality’ of the show. Just recently, it was announced that Yoo Jae Suk would NOT be leaving the show (yay!) but that the rest of the cast will (what? BOO!). After the finale episode, sometime in mid February, Family Outing will return with a season 2 with Jae Suk as the MC (although conflicting reports say Jae Suk’s return isn’t finalized yet) and a new cast, and new plot.

I had been hoping for Jae Suk to stay on the show, but I never thought they would keep him and get rid of everyone else! I’m not sure whether to be happy or sad. I couldn’t imagine Family Outing without Jae Suk, and had thought that the only thing that would make it okay would be for Ye Jin and Chun Hee to return. But now they’re changing everything!

Well, I guess things change and everyone must move on. I will miss seeing the whole family every week, they always brought laughter to my day. The one positive thing about all of this is that all of the family members have experienced much success and popularity from being on the show. It was because fans were able to see more of a ‘normal’ side to some of their favorite actors, singers, and MCs. Thanks to the family Yoon Jong Shin, Kim Soo Ro, Yoo Jae Suk, Kim Jong Kook, Lee Hyori, Lee Chun Hee, Park Shi Yeon, Park Ye Jin, Park Hae Jin, and Kang Daesung for all the wonderful memories.

Next week’s show will be part 2 of the Lee Sung Soo and Jo Han Seon episode. On January 17th and 24th, will be the episodes with Tiffany from SNSD and Nicole from KARA. As an added bonus members from SNSD and KARA as well as from the Brown Eyed Girls and T-Ara will be making a surprise appearance. I’m guessing that the finale will be airing on January 31st and February 7th. I can’t believe there are only 5 episodes left…

If it weren't for Family Outing I wouldn't have known about Chunhee, Haejin plus the various guests they had.
