iu's body is smaller than an elementary school students?

[unreal.livejournal.com]

Singer IU has gained the attention of netizens for having a body that appears to be smaller than that of an elementary school student.

Recently photos appeared on an online community site bearing the caption, “IU whose body is smaller than a choding” (Korean slang for ‘elementary schooler’).

The photos are captures from a recent appearance IU made on a Tooniverse‘s “Mak Irae Show,” a television show starring elementary school students. The photo also reveal how undersized IU’s body seems to be when compared with the children on the show.

In particular, fans were embarrassed to see that when standing next to child actor Kim Yu-jeong (bottom right photo), IU actually seemed much smaller. As a result, the photos have been given the vivid label of “IU’s starvaion body.”

Netizens who saw the photos showed a variety of reactions, including “Even smaller than Kim Yu-jeong, daebak,” “IU really has an elementary school student’s body,” and “I thought she was supposed to be size 33, she’s really small.”

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

T-ara‘s Jiyeon shed tears on national television as she talked about the wounds she received from anti-fan comments.

On the February 2nd episode of ‘Joo Byung Jin’s Talk Concert‘, the hosts brought up the topic of anti-fan comments on the internet.

Jiyeon confessed, “It’s been so hard because of those anti-fans’ malicious comments… And I was so young…” At this, she burst into tears and couldn’t finish her sentence.

When she collected herself, she continued with a smile, “Even now, I avoid the internet whenever I can. However, I am going to stop avoiding it and face it head on. I will become braver.”

Another guest on the show, KARA‘s Jiyoung, revealed that she would seek out anti-fan comments online in order to gain motivation if she felt she was slacking.

INFINITE directs their own campaign videos against animal abandonment

[black-silver.livejournal.com]

Idol group INFINITE has produced several PSA videos to help advocate against animal abandonment.

The idea was inspired by INFINITE’s dog, Tofu, who became a temporary family member along with two other Jindo puppies for KBS’s variety show, ‘Birth of a Family’.

Since INFINITE can’t keep the puppies, they’ve been made available for adoption through the show. Out of the three, Tofu has yet to find a home; he will have to return to the animal shelter if no one claims him by the end. The boys learned that Tofu’s case is similar to that of the 100,000+ dogs who get abandoned every year.

Disturbed by this issue, the members decided to launch a campaign against animal abandonment. The boys ran the entire production, from PR to filming and acting.

In the videos, the members tried to convey the betrayal felt by a dog when their owner abandons them. “We were happy… Were you…. Were you so good to me so that you could do this? Did you not love me?”, they asked.

Each PSA ends with the message, “If they could speak, would you still throw them away?”

Queen Lee Hyori Takes On MBC For Misreporting

[elementalranger.livejournal.com]

MBC Everyone’s new show has come under fire for falsely reporting about the places Lee Hyori frequents. The network has promised that they will investigate the matter in order to find out what happened.

An insider from MBC Everyone told Star News on February 3rd that, “Before we created this program about the places that Lee Hyori frequents, we obtained consent from her staff. We changed up the story a little with her staff’s agreement.”

The insider continued, “We do not create programs that lack evidence. Lee Hyori did go into these stores, but we can see that she is uncomfortable with them being called stores that she frequents.”

“We will hold further inspections into this matter,” they said.

Unimpressed by MBC’s explanation, Lee Hyori left the following message on her Twitter: “Even if you report false information and deliver a fake interview to the public, it’ll probably get hushed up and go unnoticed. The opponent is huge and powerful.”

Wryly, she continued, “For those reporters who are trying to direct the story in a way to make it seem like this is all due to the rashness of a mere celebrity, your intentions are obvious~ Please go have brunch at the place I apparently frequent, and leave me a mention about whether it’s good or not.”

The controversy came about after Hyori vented her anger on Twitter earlier. The program in question is an upcoming program called ‘Daebak Code 777‘, and it contains a section that follows a celebrity for a day, reporting on where they like to frequent. MBC Everyone mentioned several stores and places that Hyori denied having any knowledge about, or only visited occasionally in the past.

BBC Mad At MBC's Music Core For Block B's Comeback Stage

[elementalranger.livejournal.com]

The seven boys of talented hip-hop group Block B made their return on the February 4th edition of MBC‘s Music Core with a performance of “Nanrina” from their second mini-album titled ‘Welcome to the Block‘. Fans would normally be happy about this but many Block B fans were angered over their perceived mistreatment of the boys.

Block B opened the show on Music Core, and some fans took this as an insult because Block B is a hot group making their return and usually the opening of the show is reserved for lesser known artists. Additionally, fans didn’t like the fact that the important dance routine from the beginning of “Nanrina” was cut out. After the broadcast was over, many netizens immediately took to online message boards and utilized SNS to share their angry thoughts.

Netizens commented, “I was so surprised that they cut out the most important dance part. I was also really upset that they put Block B first over the lesser known artists,” and “The cameramen didn’t even properly capture the members performance.”

Block B has showed power and compelling choreography through “Nanrina”. Member Zico also had a huge influence by producing 5 of the 6 tracks on their new mini album.

I dunno, I definitely think MuCore did Block B dirty. I mean putting them first AND cutting their song on their comeback stage? Some1 at BNS must have really pissed off MBC.
