A Korean vocal coach listed the best 17 idols who have great singing abilities. Sometimes k-pop idols are criticized for their vocals and not taken seriously, however most of them have great singing abilities that capture the hearts of fans.
The list made by the vocal coach evaluates their tone, tremble, skills, volume, and expressiveness.
Some of the idols include JYJ' Junsu, MBLAQ's G.O, SHINee's Onew, F.T. Island Hong Ki, Big Bang's Teayang and more.

Check out the full list below:

Is your bias here? )

Note: While there was only 17 spots, there are 30 idols listed. Idols that tied in points were listed under the same number.

More and more rock bands seem to be popping up in the Korean mainstream, though they're most of the time not the ones who have been active for a long time already. These days, bubbly teen pop rock is what international fans, and even local residents, mostly see when they turn on their television set. But there's much more to the Korean rock scene then what we see at first sight.

Just as with the previous editorials (#1, #2, & #3), I've compiled a list of five different rock bands who have been working together for years. Whether it's Flower who has been around since 1999, Nell who's known as one of Korea's representative indie bands, pop rock group The Apop, or various others; everyone's able to find at least one artist in the Korean rock scene he or she likes.

In an apparent attempt to get back at the prosecution and the judiciary, a lawmaker convicted of insulting anchorwomen with lewd remarks filed a defamation suit against a popular comedian, claiming that his jokes deserve the same punishment.

Representative Kang Yong-seok said Thursday he has asked the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office to investigate Choi Hyo-jong, a 25-year-old star of the Korean Broadcasting System’s “Gag Concert,” for defaming lawmakers en masse.

Kang’s action prompted some fierce criticism and an Internet campaign began yesterday to defend comedian Choi.

A former member of the Grand National Party, Kang was convicted by the Seoul Western District Court in May for insulting anchorwomen with sexually inappropriate remarks during a dinner with university students last year. It was the first time a court convicted someone for insulting a profession as a whole.

I wouldn't want to be in her shoes, tbh. Just imagine having a camera recording everything you do in campus.

Girl group T-ara expressed their thoughts about their first 'Cry Cry' performance.

T-ara, who had their comeback on 'MCountdown', also had their performance on KBS2 'Music Bank' ahead of them on the 18th, where they met with reporters and said "We went through a lot to prepare for this album as we did with 'Roly Poly'. There were a lot of people who said they liked our comeback stage yesterday but to us, we were left a little regretful. There are a lot of performances that have yet to come so we're determined to do better."

When asked why they felt disappointed about their comeback performance, T-ara responded "Honestly, even if we had to give it a score, it wouldn't even be worth 50 points. It was our first performance and perhaps it was due to staying up all night the night before filming our music video, but we think we got really nervous".

On this day, T-ara wore revealing violet see-through outfits along with their short hairstyles, giving off a mature but at the same time androgynous charm. They drew attention for their strong charisma that was a completely different image from 'Roly Poly'."After 'I Go Crazy Because of You', we did a lot of cute concepts but this time we wanted to go through a change. I think we came out with a powerful and strong concept this time around since we wanted to show a completely different image. If we had a lot of performances for the samchon (uncle) fans then we're going to target the female fans this time with our performances so I hope they give us a lot of love. (laughs)"

Even with the sudden comeback, the fans' cheers remained strong for T-ara. However, with the powerful and masculine concept, the responses were a little different. T-ara went on to explain "Before we heard 'they're so pretty' but after our comeback stage, it was a little different since we heard 'they're so cool'. We received a good song and we didn't want to make our fans wait so we hurried to make a comeback so we hope we receive as much love as we did with 'Roly Poly'".

Along with T-ara's comeback, what also caught people's attention the most on this day was the meeting with SNSD and the Wonder Girls. T-ara who went on stage with these two teams expressed "We see SNSD seniors frequently and we're also close with them, they're good seniors and fellow colleagues to us, and as for the Wonder Girls seniors, we still haven't gotten a lot of opportunities to meet them but we are observing them in the position of fans. Both are amazing and it's an honor to stand on stage with them".

With the second live broadcast ahead of them and the interview at its close, they revealed, "We still feel a little disappointed in regards to our comeback performance but we practiced a lot yesterday and prepared in making up for what we lacked on. Our biggest concern is the fact that everyone isn't feeling well but we're working hard towards our goal to get first."


T-ara's dream? Solo concert and launching an official fanclub )
