Best of the Worst: July 10, 2015

I'm a little late on this week's post. But hey, I never promised reliability, did I? Kpop media's been extra obsessed with female idols and their hair this week, and I don't get it. In a time where Girl's Day flashed their goodies to the world, we get this: You shitting me? Lime from Hello Venus gets compared to "Monsters Inc" character for new hair style . Girl's Day's Hyeri talks about growing out her hair.  When I had short hair, I talked about doing that all the time, and Soompi never once wrote a story about me. This week on "Martha Sohyun Living," Sohyun teaches viewers how to make homemade soju sprayers. It's a good thing. M3LAQ's G.O also changed his hair.  He'd be cute if he shaved off that facial hair immediately and never talked about it again.  SNSD's Tiffany feels confident that she has the best eyebrows in the group. EXO members can't stop touching Henry's crotch . 4Minute's Sohyun is a goddess of...

Best of the Worst: July 2, 2015

Despite all the girl group comebacks,  great  and  not-so-great,  this summer, kpop news is still somehow inundated with Big Bang bullshit. Namely, people upset at Big Bang. Now, I understand if Taecyeon is upset with BB, since his group got publicly shat upon in favor of G- Dragon and the Boyz. But other BB-butthurt news bewilders me. One of these things is not as hot as the other one.  Director of Big Bang's "Sober" video admits to leaving 2PM high and dry  days before their music video shoot to shoot Big Bang's MV instead. Big Bang faces plagiarism claim.  The group's newest song,  "Sober,"  is said to resemble The Wanted's "Glad You Came." As someone who has drunk-watched the  "Glad You Came"  video many a time, I can confidently report that this claim carries no weight. Actress Park Shin Hye lowers her standards, reportedly dates actor Lee Jong Suk. Sistar explains the pros and cons of living apart.  Dasom expresses relief...

Best of the Worst: June 25, 2015

Welcome back, everyone. This week, we've got idols compared to Western artists, an extreme diet, and an idol suspected of cocaine use. No, it's not CL, though her life choices are beginning to concern me. UK music critic compares CL's rapping in "Dr Pepper" to Nicki Minaj's"cartoonish flow."  And he meant it as a compliment, apparently. Clip of CL's "Dr Pepper" video gets leaked.  And it does remind me of Nicki Minaj ... Top idol suspected of cocaine use.  Any guesses? Who wore it better? AOA's Jimin can't get away from Samuel L. Jackson comparisons.   On the plus side,  Jimin's Grammy-winning collab with Iron, "Puss," is getting viral attention on Spotify. Soyu reveals an extreme diet method she once used, warns fans against doing it.  Basically, her weight-loss regimen involved a whole of of exercising combined with a whole lot of not eating. CL touches Miley Cyrus in Jeremy Scott movie trailer. And winner of thi...

Best of the Worst: June 18, 2015

This week in bad kpop, we've got excessive aegyo, an idol sparking fan wars and two separate items that somehow involve Zico. Zico and Hyuna — the devil's OTP T-ara's Hyomin just can't with Eunjung's "embarrassingly huge amount of aegyo."   The mighty hand of KBS comes down on AOA and Seventeen.  AOA's agency, FNC Entertainment, will modify the lyrics to "Chocolate," which was banned for vulgar, profane and abusive language. Dammit, KBS, we could have had the next  "Puss"  on our hands.  G-Dragon causes massive pantie bunching  when asked what differentiates Big Bang from groups like SHINee and Exo. Apparently pointing out that BB makes their own songs is a real sore point with some. Snoop Dogg to appear on "Show Me the Money 4."   Zico is hyped. Sistar's Soyu, in an effort to outdo Kara and BESTie's Dahye, is releasing a workout video. Mamamoo's Hwasa lives the dream.  So, apparently, does Zico. Lee Hyori asks...

Best of the Worst: June 11, 2015

Hi readers, and sorry for not posting last week ( I was  busy ). Please accept this photo of Dahye as my sincere apology. Anywho, this week in bad kpop we've got idol shit talking, an embarrassing manager, and the pot calling the kettle slutty. I can beez flexible like Dahye. Actor Lee Ji Hoon acts out kiss scenes with SHINee's Minho.  Me gusta.  AOA's Chanmi reveals her true best contribution to the group: epic shit talking.  Netizens not impressed. Exo's manager embarrasses himself, kpop fans everywhere  by tweet-whoring Exo's new song out to western celebs while being shady af and pretending he's just some guy who likes music. His at-times-questionable list of victims includes all the members of the Backstreet Boys. G-Dragon is lonely just like you.  And his song. M3LAQ, not bitter about Lee Joon and Thunder at all,  say they're better singers than the two former members. Kara's Seungyeon says many girl groups' shorts are too short,  gets calle...

Best of the Worst: May 21, 2015

Welcome back, everyone. Let's cut to the chase this week: AOA is creating a line of toothbrushes. Achieve your dreams: Put Choa in your mouth every day.  I'm already planning to order the whole set. I'll use Yuna for my daily brushing, Jimin for special occasions like vacation, I'll attach Choa to a gold mount so I can stare at it all day, and Chanmi can help me clean around the grout in the bathroom. AOA toothbrushes exist  — what an age we live in. They reacted similarly when they saw Jay Park live in concert. Daesung admits G-Dragon would be the Big Bang member he'd date,  also reveals highly disturbing trend of people calling him Daejelina.  Jessica tells Marie Claire about her post-Girls' Generation life.  It's basically, "I'm free at last." The mighty hand of KBS comes down on Hyunseung and Seulong. Best Choa reveals that SM rejected her 15 times. EXID, Hyosung, and more react to high-calorie sandwich.  Funny faces ensue. G-Dragon is a bi...

Best of the Worst: May 14, 2015

It was all about idol bodies and body image this week. We learned which four females have the best legs in kpop, how AOA Jimin looks like a dog, and what keeps Hyosung looking so fine. We also got not one, but TWO stories about boobies. Oh happy day. The first chest in question If you look at this photo at the right angle, you can see through her shirt. Hyuna's breasts confound Dispatch and netizens.  Stay pressed, haters. She works hard for the booty. Rap princess Jimin looks like Samuel L. Jackson, a dog and Chu Sarang. Lady Jane  likes  her breasts.  And according to her, it's not the size that matters, it's the shape. Hyosung  doesn't like  her tofu salads. ThirstE admits he has a girlfriend (ikr?)  and that she made the cat sound in the beginning of his new song I haven't listened to. EXID reveals that "Up & Down" was originally for "Unpretty Rapstar" contestant Jessi. Tiffany, Uee, Hyorin and Soyu picked as the female kpop idols with th...
