Netizens have uncovered a video broadcast, first uploaded on July 11th, of what they say appears to be AOA member Chanmi glaring at Choa during a live broadcast.
Netizens pointed out Chanmi towards the end of the video, who they say is seen glaring at Choa. All six members of AOA are seen the video, singing their recent comeback song “Short Hair”.

Recently, Jang Geun Suk’s misbehavior at a public camping site was reported. On August 16, Jang Geun Suk and his group of friends went on a camping trip to Gyeonggi Province. However, the way they behaved on this trip brought on a lot of public criticism. According to other campers that were present that day, the group created a lot of ruckus with loud music and partying that lasted throughout the night.
A camper that was near the group, Mr. Kim, revealed in an interview, “Jang Geun Suk and his group of friends received a lot of complaints from other campers that were in their vicinity due to their late night partying. Turning off the lights at 11 p.m. is basic etiquette among campers, but they didn’t seem to respect that etiquette. Rather, they had the headlights of their cars on and music blaring, which disturbed the peaceful quiet of the camping site.”
According to Mr. Kim, Jang Geun Suk and his group of friends, who all seemed to be around their 20s, took a spot deeper into the woods. Regardless, because he is such a star, many in the vicinity recognized him. The public opinion is that since he had realized that many of the other campers had noticed who he was, he should have taken even more care in his behavior.
The loudness of the party wasn’t the only factor that caused the other campers to complain. One of Jang Geun Suk’s friends had decided to turn on the headlights of one of Jang Geun Suk’s cars, and these headlights had been directed at other campers’ tents. One by one each of the camping families said something to the group, asking them to stop, but despite their numerous efforts, the group’s party didn’t seem to end. An additional complaint by the families was that some of the male members of the group had taken their shirts off and were wandering around the camp site, making some of the families uncomfortable, since many of them had children present with them as well.
According to Mr. Kim, “At the time most of the campers at the site knew that Jang Geun Suk was camping there as well. One of the ladies had gone to ask Jang Geun Suk for a photo but she came back empty-handed because he had refused, saying that it was his private life. I’m wondering why Jang Geun Suk wasn’t careful with his behavior when he was obviously aware that many of the campers had recognized him. I, too, had gone camping with my family to have a time of rehabilitation and bonding. However, this opportunity had gone to waste because of Jang Geun Suk and his friends. I was fond of him as a Hallyu star but through his incident I’ve become disappointed.”
Jang Geun Suk’s management agency released a statement on this matter, saying, “Jang Geun Suk had gone camping with his friends as a summer vacation trip. He hadn’t seen them in a long time so he had unintentionally caused some trouble at the site out of excitement for a long-awaited break. He had apologized on site after receiving the complaints but we apologize for not taking care as a well-known public figure.”
Some pictures of the camping site were released, which you can view here.
Meanwhile, Jang Geun Suk had recently returned to Korea after completing a performance at the “A-Nation” music festival on August 15.

Jang Geun Suk went camping with his friends on the 16th and received complaints from other campers for playing loud music until the early morning, drinking, and talking loudly despite camping etiquette normally expecting everyone to quiet down by 11 pm.
1. [+1,483, -22] Time to go to the army? ㅋ
2. [+1,267, -24] Sigh... thinks he's hot stuff because he's a celebrity
3. [+1,048, -51] He's always been like this ㅡㅡ Disrespectful, I really don't know why a kid like this is considered a Hallyu star
4. [+104, -4] There's been plenty of rumors calling him disrespectful, why act so surprised... He became a star at a young age and thinks he's important now but what representative work does he have? His dramas failed, his movies failed... why is he a top star again?
5. [+84, -3] This is nothing new ㅋㅋ I went to see Jang Dong Geun at the 2011 BIFF and some idiot started dancing the shuffle through the crowd and that was Jang Geun Suk. He really just looked like a delinquent when he walked past me.
6. [+71, -2] He's the role model of tryhard elementary school kids
7. [+63, -1] If he wants to scream all night with music on loud, then go have a party in a private room...
8. [+54, -3] He's always been disrespectful to others ㅋㅋㅋ I don't know why he's considered a Hallyu star anyway when he barely has any popular piece of work

1. [+586, -35] Don't go camping if you don't know camping etiquette. Go somewhere with no people if you want to stay up all night drinking and chatting. There are rules on camp sites that you need to follow. Don't act so dumb.
2. [+519, -20] People had already sent in two reports and he was still causing a ruckus and it wasn't until the third report that they finally cleaned up. I wonder if he even apologized to them?
3. [+395, -11] Everyone else is there to enjoy their summer break, why should they have their moment ruined by your fun? Keep a basic sense of respect~
4. [+23, -3] Why is that tryhard trash not apologizing himself and making a staff do it for him?
5. [+16, -6] Dumb and tryhard tsk tsk
6. [+15, -2] If you're going to apologize, don't make your company do it for you. Say it yourself. You caused this mess, you clean it up.
7. [+13, -2] Honestly disappointing that someone of his stature acted in such a manner... Have fun in the army. You surely won't be serving public service, will you? Especially for someone who's healthy enough to be dancing and drinking till the early morning.
8. [+11, -1] It's because he's dumb

In July, the boys of BTS visited Los Angeles to learn about hip-hop culture, documenting their adventures along the way in the currently airing reality TV show “American Hustle Life.” One of the hip hop mentors on the show is artist and songwriter Tony Jones, who spent two weeks teaching BTS how to cultivate their hip hop skills and taking them around the city. When asked about his first impression of BTS, Tony replied, “Well, my first meeting with them was waking them up at 6AM. All tired, no glam. I don’t think they even knew what was going on, just thought they came out for a big vacation. It was a rough start, but they were really cooperative. From then on, we had a lot of good times together for 2 weeks.”
moonROK chats with Tony Jones on the core elements of hip-hop, his experience working with BTS, and his thoughts on how the 'Jony' bromance ship set sail.
