One day, my Canadian friend came home after a 14 hour work day to find his Korean Mother-in-law playing with his infant son’s penis. He blew up at his Mother-in-law. Neither his wife nor his live in Korean family members understood why he was so upset. To my friend, any kind of penile touching except using a wipe or wash cloth to clean the area when necessary was tantamount to sexual abuse. Had his MIL been doing this the whole time? Did his wife harbour some sexual trauma in her past that she had not divulged to him after being raised in such a family? Was his son safe at home? He was suddenly terrified. On the other hand, to his Korean family it was just a bit of light gochu nudging by a doting grandmother excited about the existence of her first grandson. Nobody thinks of squeezing a cheek or oooing over a tiny fingertip or admiring the mop of hair. Why should the baby’s penis be the only body part off limits…especially when it signified his all important boyness? Needless to say, the outburst that followed observing this practise didn’t help to bridge the culture gap.
( interesting stuff right here )

BoA revealed SM Entertainment‘s version of SBS‘ ‘Gentlemen’s Class‘.
On the 20th, BoA tweeted to Super Junior‘s Eunhyuk, “Eunhyuk! This is the real SM’s Class!” along with the above photo.
The revealed picture showed BoA with SM Entertainment actors, Yoon Da Hoon, Kim Min Jong, Hong Rok Gi, and Lee Jae Ryong.
After seeing the tweet, Eunhyuk replied, “More like the uncle fans of Jumping BoA (BoA’s fan club) than class.” BoA humorously responded, “My uncle fans totally have class okay.”
After seeing ‘SM’s Class’, fans commented, “BoA must be Kim Ha Neul,” “Always full of class if Kim Min Jong is there,” “SM’s version,” “For some reason, I think Hong Rok Gi must be Jung Rok,” and “SM’s Class is friendly.”

2012-07-22 12:16 pmuglypricetag.livejournal.comInfinity Challenge returns to the airwaves after almost half a year of absence
Absent for the majority of the year due to the MBC strike, popular variety program ‘Infinity Challenge‘ has finally greeted its viewers once again for the first time in seven months.
The cast excitedly greeted all of the staff members on set and immediately sought to grab the most camera angles for themselves. “170 days felt like 170 years,” Park Myung Soo said.
The program kicked off its return with the ‘Muhan News’ corner, in which the members caught up with each other and reported the latest events that happened with their lives, including Jung Jun Ha’s marriage and homecoming as well as Jung Hyung Don‘s announcement that he was about to become the father of twins.
Meanwhile, actress Lee Na Young will be making her appearance on next week’s ‘Infinity Challenge’.
Live ratings graph for the 6:30 timeslot
Green: Infinity Challenge, peaked at 14.5%.
Yellow: Star King
Orange: Immortal Song 2
Infinity Challenge achieved the highest rating for variety shows for the whole of Saturday. (bow!) Competitors of the same time slot, Immortal Song 2 and Star King, got 8.5% and 7.7% respectively. The 2nd highest rated program was "Star Junior Show" at 11% and every other program was way down the list.

Boy group B2ST has returned with the title song ‘Beautiful Night‘, sweeping the #1 spot on each music chart.
As soon as the title song was released, it rose to the top of Melon, Mnet, Soribada, Naver Music, and other music sites. In addition, all of the other newly released songs also took places high up on the charts resulting in a so-called ‘chain song-list‘, predicting a successful comeback for the new and improved B2ST.
The upbeat electronic synthpop song, ‘Beautiful Night’, is the collaborative product of the boy group and rookie producer, ‘Good night-Sleep well’. With the harmony of the song’s energetic vibe and the voices of the members, the song is sure to liven up your summer nights.
Also, the music video for ‘Beautiful Night’ was recently released and is already receiving explosive love from fans. The music video was filmed in the exotic and free-spirited city of New York, and showcased a fresh theme with footage of the boy group dancing their days and nights away on the streets of NYC.
B2ST’s eye-catching charm, highlighted by the background fireworks blasting in New York’s night sky, is another reason why their comeback stage is so anticipated. Furthermore, because the music video did not at all reveal any of B2ST’s signature performance, interest is building up on what kind of live performances the boys have in store for fans.
With the hope of returning to the top of the idol food chain once again, B2ST is planning to start promotions this week with a special comeback stage to showcase their new title song ‘Beautiful Night’ for the first time.
