Bohyung doesn't always speak up...

...but when she does, she always serves up the realest shit

she disses her unnies


brings the reality check to the table

doesn't care about hiding her weight

and she asks the most obvious questions
she can go from classy lady one moment

to an excited 5yo child the next

she can turn on the sass like nobody's business




her bbeauty makes angels cry

she posts the best selcas on her instagram, including variations of her trademark turtle face

besides being a part-time turtle, she has many other personas, including a basebbo player

a flower fairy princess

a bboss

an actual unicorn

however, her true self is a Hyori sasaeng fan


in between being the cutest person in the entire universe and spending time in the studio, Bohyung finds time to do sweet things for her fans like make handwritten cards lovingly decorated with Care Bear stickers and Disney font for Spica's third anniversary

+++ a shoutout to Bbo's fellow 31 March baby Bang Yongguk!




this bbirthday spam is getting long enough, time for OP to go

Spica's recording their song so see y'all soon with more Spica posts!

What do you think Omona? Are the lyrics sexual? Are they purely innocent? Is it up to the listener to decide whether or not?
Personally, I find the lyrics to be incredibly sexual (lbr, it doesn't even try to hide it)
and tbh, it wouldn't be an issue if they didn't just add a 16 year old to the group...
To each their own, however~
Also, the KPKF comments section has this gem and I cannot unsee it:

We've talked about this in the comments and now it's real, we can all cry and be OTT together \o/

1. NO FIGHTING

That’s it just have a good time, post your favorite picture/photoshoot, song, fan cam, MV, lyrics, whatever, just let it out

Five-member group FTISLAND will become the first idol group to have their own reality TV show that is rated 19+.
On March 31, it was confirmed that the group’s upcoming SBS MTV reality TV show “Coming Out! FTISLAND” has been given the 19+ rating.
A representative from SBS MTV told the press, “As ‘Coming Out!’ is the first 19+ idol reality show, we will be holding a launch party where the fans will be able to enjoy beer with the group.”
They also revealed, “We knew that FTISLAND was famous for being honest, but we were surprised to hear them say such shocking statements on camera. We decided that we had to show all of this freewheeling side of theirs.”
“Coming Out! FTISLAND” will premiere on April 7. It will be the group’s first reality TV show in nine years.

SMASH Has Disbanded
2015-03-31 12:26 pm
It has been belatedly revealed that male group SMASH disbanded at the end of last year.
Produced by former H.O.T member Tony Ahn, the group promoted in both Japan and Korea after debuting in 2008. Despite having a stable fan base, SMASH has not promoted in Korea since last spring, and halted all Japanese activities in December.
According to reports, SMASH could no longer be sustained due to personal reasons and members’ military enlistment. Some members also departed from the group, making it difficult for SMASH to continue.
A representative of the group revealed, “At one point in 2014, we worked extremely hard to choose and train new members to revive SMASH. We sent a newly organized SMASH to the stage with new members and prepared for a single album. In October, we promoted the single album and followed up with a year-end concert. This is when Minkyu left the group due to personal reasons, and we ended up letting go of three original members.”
While the company had plans for future promotions, all parties ultimately decided to go their separate ways.

Flash Flood Darlings is apparently a 17-year-old from Christchurch, New Zealand, and he is banging out some seriously great layered tracks. You can listen to more of his songs on his record label's Youtube and buy the album this comes from, Vorab and Tesoro, on iTunes or listen to it on Spotify.

It’s a Girls Republic now. Taking the festive mood of a good April Fool’s joke, Boys Republic has officially transformed into Girls Republic!
On April 1st, Boys Republic made a complete transformation into their new girlish persona, photoshopping female wigs onto their group photo and bringing laughter to their fans. Their SNS accounts as well as official fan cafe accounts reflected the girly reflection, as did their 2nd mini-album Real Talk as it took on a pinkish hue as opposed to its normal black and gold concept.

They wrote, “Don’t you think these Girls Republic members are cute?”
Happy April Fool’s Day!

the last we had seen of our brave warriors was when they returned from the battle of hush with their hard fought win, as they were heading to the safety of their secret base our slayers fell under a mysterious spell and falling into a never ending sleep. our heroines were said to be dead and upon hearing the news of their vanishment different dark forces started to show their faces and soon enough the exo overlords had taken over the planet earth, using their dark magic to control the population. sensing the danger out in the world our slayers woke up from their slumber, rising from the ashes like a phoenix, surprising those who believed that they were long gone. now stronger than ever our warriors have returned to save the world, slaying one chart at time.

The roles played by Gong Hyo Jin, Kim Soo Hyun, IU, and Cha Tae Hyun in KBS 2TV’s star-studded drama “Producer” have been revealed.
( Who are you most looking forward to seeing in “Producer?” )

Yewon’s managing agency, Star Empire Entertainment, released an official statement on the controversy between Lee Tae Im and Yewon.
On March 31, they said, “We would like to send out an official document regarding the conflict that occurred while filming ‘Tutoring Across Generations.’ First of all, we would like to apologize to those who care for Yewon and Lee Tae Im for causing so much trouble.”
“We take on most of the fault for rashly releasing an official statement after depending on only the hearsay from the staff, while failing to receive any accurate facts from Yewon,” they continued. “We apologize for the harm we have caused Yewon and Lee Tae Im by judging this issue based on the atmosphere and failing to professionally take on the issue. We will do our best to treat future sensitive issues with more caution. We will also make sure that Yewon takes this as an opportunity to mature.”
“We hope that you forgive us for sending out such a dated apology and understand our situation with a generous heart. Once again, we send out our deepest apologies to Lee Tae Im and the fans,” Star Empire said.
Earlier, controversy sparked when it was exposed that Lee Tae Im had cursed at Yewon during the filming of “Tutoring Across Generations” on February 24. Though the case was closed after each side apologized, it’s becoming the center of attention again since clips of the scene have been revealed.

1. [+1,012, -31] Yewon should be releasing her own apology, why is she hiding behind her company? And Yewon released an official statement before saying that there was no way she could speak informally to a senior.. Yewon needs to come out and apologize for lying.
2. [+891, -34] Why is it that Yewon, the staff, and the PD - everyone directly related to the case - are keeping shut? Do they have nothing to say? Come on, say something.
3. [+798, -26] Sorry only after someone's already been ruined ㅋ

1. [+17,698, -291] Unni~ you don't like me, right? - 2015's trendiest phrase!
2. [+14,239, -545] This apology is way too late. Looks like they had nothing they could come up with in the days they had leading up to this excuse. That's how big their mistake was... to the point that there's no way out for them. They should visit Lee Tae Im in person and apologize.
3. [+13,228, -431] It's time to leave the show now, right?
4. [+11,488, -251] It's too late...
5. [+3,435, -35] How can Star Empire come up with the excuse that they didn't even listen to their own celebrity and media played for days on end? And Yewon should be apologizing too. After all, she came out and thanked Lee Tae Im for her apology, didn't she?
6. [+3,428, -45] Yewon should be apologizing, not having the agency apologize on her behalf!!!
7. [+3,130, -36] The agency media played without checking with Yewon first on what really happened? As if that's believable ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
8. [+2,753, -64] A career's already been hit and you have committed a crime that cannot be forgiven

It has been reported that BtoB's maknae Yook Sungjae is going to leave to group to focus on his acting career.
Earlier this week a semi-confirmation of Yook Sungjae casting in School 2015 was released to the press. We believe it was the factor that propelled BtoB member to re-negotiate his activities with Cube Entertainment.
