FIESTAR’s Cao Lu and Jo Se Ho will be ending their virtual marriage after six months on the MBC variety show.

A source from Cao Lu’s agency, Loen Entertainment, stated to Star News on September 22, “Cao Lu and Jo Se Ho filmed their last ‘We Got Married‘ episode two weeks ago. We have not received information as to when the last day of their broadcast will be.”

Cao Lu and Jo Se Ho became a couple on “We Got Married” this past March and even met each other’s parents on the show.

So I guess this means that they'll be bringing in a new couple soon. Who would be your dream WGM couple, Omona?

Two of the biggest names in Korean rap are joining forces in a new venture.

Tiger JK -- a member of hip-hop trio Drunken Tiger and founder of record label Jungle Entertainment -- and Dok2 -- rapper and co-founder of Illionaire Records -- have founded new hip-hop record label Ghood Life Crew, the company announced Thursday.

Longtime friends and colleagues, Tiger JK and Dok2 were both founding members of Movement, a leading hip-hop crew in the early 2000s that was eventually phased out without a formal announcement of disbandment.

Most recently, Tiger JK revealed via his personal social media channel that Drunken Tiger is currently working on a new album.

Among the first artists to be signed under Ghood Life Crew is Superbee, whose latest mini album “The Life is 82 0.5”-- produced by Prima Vista, Make 4 Play and LyKydo -- was released Friday. Superbee first drew public attention when he appeared in the fifth season of Mnet’s hip-hop competition show “Show Me the Money.”


I don't know anything about khip hop, so I did a quick google to see if this was posted, which lead me to Omona posts about Superbee, who is super ew. But Tiger JK always seemed pretty cool?

I.O.I will be making a comeback with a song produced by Park Jin Young!

On September 22, I.O.I’s agency revealed that the group’s next song will be the work of JYP Entertainment head Park Jin Young. I.O.I member Jeon Somi is housed by JYP Entertainment and Park Jin Young had apparently been preparing a song for the group as a gift.

Park Jin Young has created several hit girl group songs including Wonder Girls’ “Tell Me,” “So Hot,” “Nobody,” “I Feel You,” miss A’s “Bad Girl, Good Girl,” TWICE’s “Do It Again,” and more.

I.O.I’s comeback activities might be their last as they are a project group created through the reality show “Produce 101” and will have to work through their separate groups and agencies. The group is expected to make a comeback in October with all 11 members.

From the left: Neon Bunny, Oohyo, Cabinett, and Oh Hee Jung.

Earlier this year, Seoul synth-pop artist Neon Bunny embarked on a tour that took her to Austin, Texas for South By Southwest and a jaunt around Europe. Wherever she went, she was labeled as a K-Pop artist by journalists and promoters.

“Yeah, it’s a really freaky thing to me. I’m not a K-Pop artist in Korea. If I go abroad, though, I’m a K-Pop artist,” Neon Bunny (real name Yoojin Lim) says from her apartment in the capital of South Korea. She loves Korean pop music—Lim recommends checking out the debut from Blackpink and Cosmic Girl’s “Secret”—but says she feels strange being given the description.

“I’m Korean, and am making pop, so I guess I am kind of K-pop,” she says with a laugh.

This is a crime... top 4 worst dating violence scenes in 2016 dramas

Article analyzes four scenes from Korean dramas that depict signs of misogyny, sexual harassment, and dating violence in a romanticized light.



1. KBS 'Uncontrollably Fond' - Junyoung often physically pulls around Noeul by force, sometimes even picking her up without permission. He shouts and kicks at her, and in one scene even leaves her on the side of a road after violently driving her around. Editors chose the scene where Junyoung and Noeul get into a fight and he forcibly pushes her onto the bed and slides her zipper down while the camera pans to a hesitant Noeul as the worst scene of the drama.



2. SBS 'Our Kapsoon' - Depicts the ultimate drama cliche of the forced kiss. Kapsoon breaks up with Kapdol and walks away until he grabs her, pushes her against the wall, and forcibly kisses her until she submits and kisses back.



3. MBC 'Lucky Romance' - Gunwook visits Boni's house asks her to eat with him. She declines, saying she's grateful for the offer but would rather not. He then bursts through her door without permission. Editors criticized the scene for how it transitioned into a romance scene with the two resolving their differences and the 'open door' symbolizing the opening of a new relationship when the realistic course of action should've been Boni calling the cops for the intrusion.



4. tvN 'Another Oh Hae Young' - On the contrary to the first scene, this drama depicts a scene where a man forces his way into a woman's home but under the pretense of protecting her. Editors pointed out that it still doesn't change the fact that he trespassed onto her property, no matter his intentions.

The drama itself was met with several scenes that were under controversy for dating violence, such as Dokyung breaking his car window with Haeyoung still riding it, a scene where he pulls her wrist out of a restaurant, and visiting her house without permission. Editors pointed out that any man who shows such signs of violence should be dumped immediately and blames dramas for normalizing or romanticizing such violent actions.



1. [+1,974, -20] Stuff like grabbing her wrist and pulling her around and yelling at her is all considered violence but it's way too romanticized on screen


2. [+1,721, -21] I'd be terrified if someone I hated acted in this way to me

3. [+1,462, -14] What's worse is that dramas also perpetuate the notion that if a woman doesn't like being treated like this, she's just playing hard to get. It's also a problem that girls see these scenes and think that it's romantic and exciting. Violence shouldn't be romanticized on screen because teens grow up seeing it and repeating it.

4. [+663, -15] It makes me throw up when I see forced kiss scenes where the woman eventually submits and kisses back. Especially that one cliche scene where her clenched fist slowly unclenches... what a joke

5. [+628, -16] Any of these situations in real life would be terrifying for a woman

6. [+487, -10] Scenes where the male lead is walking around while dragging the female lead by the wrist is such a common scene in Korean dramas but I never see it in foreign dramas. How can you have a drama with so many scenes where the female lead is being thrown around and yelled at...

7. [+406, -13] This article hits the point on the head. I'm sick of these dramas. I'm scared of kids watching this and learning from it.

8. [+334, -52] Let me just point out that the people writing these scenes are female scriptwriters

9. [+269, -12] With dramas and webtoons, we ultimately know that the two characters will be happy in the end so we're able to romanticize moments of violence like that... but if you watch American dramas, you'll notice that any scene where the male lead tries to take a female lead by force, everyone around him is like stop! or runs to hold him back. Even the female lead's lines after that is something usually like "You're hurting me!" or "Don't touch me!" unlike the Korean female leads who just submit and act sweet afterwards.

10. [+196, -3] I hate!! scenes where the female lead is always opening her eyes up wide like "what're you doing~ what're you going to do to me~" all submissive, acting like puppies in the window of a pet store... wake up!

11. [+194, -12] In American or UK dramas, if a couple is ever holding each other by the wrist, it's usually a prelude to a fight, unlike Korean dramas where it leads to something romantic... Scriptwriters need to focus more on having female characters unique enough to lead a relationship on their own instead of being dragged around by the male all the time. What will our little girls learn?

12. [+152, -10] 'Uncontrollably Fond' had to be the worst offender of these cliches. He grabs her by force all the time, drives her around violently before throwing her out, kicks her, pushes her, embarrasses her, humiliates her, claims to love her publicly but then goes and dumps her and hurts her... the drama just made him seem like a crazy person.

13. [+120, -1] Don't forget the forced kiss scene the other day on 'Moon Lovers'. The female lead clearly says "I am not yours, I am scared of you" but he goes and forces a kiss on her after saying "You're mine!"

14. [+127, -10] I remember seeing that scene in 'Lucky Romance' where the man forces his way into her home when she told him not to. Dramas feel so different from the real world... but I bet men watch these scenes and try it in the real world and think the woman is playing hard to get when it doesn't result in romance.

15. [+109, -0] Yeah, scenes like this totally make me lose respect for the male lead... the illusion is just shattered.


16. [+92, -0] I just want dramas to respect a woman when she says no. Stop it with the scenes where they submit in the end. She's saying no, she's not playing hard to get. Crazy men always think that the woman is playing hard to get if she doesn't want something he's doing...
