Netizen reactions:
[ +1245 / -42] Whatever.. But I wonder what other members of SECRET are doing these days
[ +889 / -85] Some time ago, she was claiming her concept was good and that there are not that many revealing scenes. But it turns out her concept is the same again taking her clothes off and grabbing her boobs together again..
[ +1119 / -174] Elegant???? Is this a word I don’t fully understand??? This is not elegantly sexy.
[ +719 / -58] You call grabbing you boobs together in the middle ‘elegantly’ sexy?
[ +207 / -16] She claimed on ‘Saturday Night Live’ that she didn’t want to get popular with her boobs… But again…. She is trying to gain fans through revealing her boobs, thighs and other areas…
[ +253 / -38] This is an example celebrity that proves that even if you try to gain male fans, you can’t make it in the industry without female fans

Girls' Generation's Yoona

Although many expressed their admiration for Yoona‘s incredible visuals during Seoul Fashion Week, not everyone agreed that she looked great. 
In fact, after seeing recent photos of the Girls’ Generation member, many netizens claimed that she looks too thin to be healthy, and really needs to put on some weight for her own health.

Hyunseung raises eyebrows when he starts following a rabid 'akgae fan' on Instagram



Things are not looking up for B2ST member Hyunseung, who has been on the receiving end of much flak and scrutiny of late. The idol was caught falling asleep at an interview, absent at certain B2ST promotions, and most recently, rumored to be departing from the group. 
Despite all the negative attention, or maybe because of it, Hyunseung fans have gotten all the more defensive, coming to the idol's rescue from the public's antagonism. One fan in particular, whose identity is known as heaven890903 on Instagram, has been the most supportive of Hyunseung throughout this ordeal. What's even more interesting to note is that Hyunseung has liked the post (now deleted) and started following this person, proof of which was also captured and posted online. 

Though this fan may have the best of intentions, other B2ST fans are not looking too kindly upon the fan mainly because heaven890903 is an akgae (fan of one member, anti-fan of the rest). This rabid fan of Hyunseung went on a tirade on Instagram, some of which was captured by other B2ST fans. 


heaven890903 wrote, "How can they not know. They notified the day before, and the members who started out that evening had all prepared a stage without Hyunseung. In the past, even if they gave notice early on, they would still appear on MR and just leave his empty spot, but this time the other members filled in for him including his dance part. They obviously planned this ahead. They were afraid that fans would cancel so they claimed Hyunseung had a 'personal matter' and notified us the day right before. There is a difference in ticket sales between notifying the day before and notifying well ahead. There is less time for fans to deliberate. [Hyunseung's absence] was planned ahead because he wasn't even in the promotional clip. Cube just didn't notify us. They have a fan meeting in Japan too so Hyunseung can be the one to receive all the criticism. During the Japanese fan meet last year they also notified us on the day of because they wanted to minimize the number of people who canceled. Cube must have thought that the other members could make up for [Hyunseung's absence]. That's why they planned a farewell party which wasn't planned. I dealt with this in the past, and couldn't believe that Cube didn't let fans know in advance. It'll be hard for them to say that something like this didn't happen before. Can you trust the company? Think of all the idols who fell in the hands of companies' bad management. I don't know if he'll renew his contract but what's certain is that they have Hyunseung in the palm of their hands and, because of the antis who are pretending to be fans, they are dealing with the situation in the most hands-off way possible. Tell him to explain on Instagram? Do you think this situation is the same as uploading some sad excuse on Instagram for some stupid thing? He can be absent from future performances. If the company tells him to, he has no choice. If he can't renew his contract, then they'll have to start putting on performances without Hyunseung, and people will take more pity on the remaining members who are working harder to make up for Hyunseung who is absent whenever it strikes his fancy. You were all attacking him just now saying that 'all the other members are suffering because of you.' Why are you blocking your own sight when the whole picture is as clear as day? The re-contracting situation is not the problem between fans and Hyunseung but a problem between the company and Hyunseung. Fans have no right to tell him to do this or that. We don't know what kind of problems there were or what kind of things he went through. Though it's evident that the company has no f**king clue about anything and just wants money. And his contract has yet to be fulfilled so the people are demanding that he leave--are y'all going to pay the sum for his breach of contract?






heaven890903 also left a message of encouragement on Hyunseung's Instagram, writing, "What's most important is that you feel at peace. Everything that was doubtful was all resolved recently. So that's why ㅠㅠ Hyunseung must have had it rough. Don't be so lonely. Surround yourself with people who love you. Don't concern yourself with the fans. The antis are all acting up but they're all bound to leave anyway. When you were promoting as a solo artist, there were many people who said they saw you in a different light. They were the people who saw you for the true you and knew that you'll take flight. Fans of a whole different color will gather once again. No matter how hard they try to bring you down, there will always be those who recognize your talent. Don't be discouraged and think of the people who cheer on the person that you are. Don't feel pressed for time and take it one step at a time. Be loyal to the now and accomplish everything with a level head. Don't worry becausethere are always fans who will support you no matter what decision you make." 



Netizens reactions have been varied on this issue, with comments the likes of, "Thumbs up if you don't like Hyunseung," "I really wish Hyunseung and all his rabid fans would leave already. Just leave. Does Cube not know how to kick out an artist? Other agencies boot artists without any compromises if they cause sort of trouble. Cube should learn from them. And after his attitude controversy, he continued to update his Instagram but was absent in all the B2ST promotions and claimed that he'll not participate in them any longer so why is he promoting as a part of B2ST again? We're thankful when you don't appear. Now just hearing your name makes me stressed and lose affection. It's been a while since B2ST gallery have turned their backs against Hyunseung and most B2UTIES active on B2ST's biggest fan site have done the same. Check the comments for yourself," and, "Who cares~this guy's set for failure. Or did he already fail? All his fans have turned against him lolol must be nice."

Sulli’s recent Instagram posts are worrying and sickening fans at the same time
Former f(x) member Sulli has always been criticized for not being cautious on her Instagram posts. But are her recent posts worrying and sickening fans at the same time?

“I’m a huge fan of Sulli…. I have been following her Instagram.
But I really have nothing to say anymore.. T_T

Netizen reactions:
[ +146 / -11] There isn’t a problem eating whip cream but if you watch the video, it looks as if she is reinacting some adult videos. How much does she like whip cream that she is posting a video about it? I know delusional fans are always protecting her but Sulli is probably enjoying all this. She is purposefully intending sexual acts to provoke fans. If you see Sulli’s old posts, they were so innocent… Choiza is responsible for this
[ +109 / 0] So true… Sulli has always been criticized for her old posts already but she still posts these things despite the fact that people are very sensitive towards her… Tsk
[ +92 / -3] I know some can think she is just eating it but I know for a fact that she was thinking that this post would get criticism and misunderstanding from fans and viewers. She is ALREADY being criticized for sexual posts.
[ +23 / -11] F*cking Choiza

Netizens praise Lovelyz for professionalism despite stage accident

Lovelyz - Woollim Entertainment

Although idol groups practice for countless hours to perfect their choreography, stage accidents still happen from time to time. 
During a recent event, girl group Lovelyz suffered a minor stage accident when member Jisoo accidentally struck fellow member Jiae during a performance of their song “Ah-Choo.” Because the stage was smaller than the Woollim Entertainment group was used to, the members accidentally clashed during a part of the choreography, shocking both Jisoo and Jiae. After the initial shock, however, the two girls continued to perform the rest of the dance flawlessly, garnering praise from netizens for their professionalism.

Although many fans expressed their love for Hong Jin Young‘s most recent album, not everyone was a fan of her latest release.
In fact, after some ARMYs (fans of male idol group BTS) discovered that the trot singer’s latest mini album was titled “The Most Beautiful Moment In Life” (the same title as BTS’s most recent albums), several fans left comments on the singer’s page on music streaming sites criticizing her for using such a title.
However, many netizens defended artist Hong Jin Young claiming that artist Lee Seunghwan actually used the title for their album long before BTS has. Many netizens gathered to call ARMY immature for terrorizing the poor artist’s album for no good reasons.

[ +375 / -150] I knew this would be BTS ARMY. Freaking immature fandom

Lee Jong Suk fails to renew any of his CF deals

Lee Jong Suk

Although Lee Jong Suk is incredibly popular with fans, brands are apparently not as happy with the actor. 
In fact, media outlets recently reported that Lee Jong Suk has failed to renew any of his current modeling contracts, and will soon have zero Korean CFs. Although many netizens blamed his airport controversy for his troubles, some also attributed it to his lack of presence in the Korean entertainment industry due to his domestic hiatus.
Netizen reactions:
[+ 4125, – 195] Is the reporter his anti?
[+ 3565, – 164] I guess the reporter hates Lee Jong Suk
[+ 2522, – 91] Who cares
[+ 638, – 140] Isn’t it obvious why? Doesn’t everyone know about the air port incident? That says it all who would use a rookie who thinks he’s all that?
[+619, – 121] It’s cause of his crap personality. He pushed away a fan who was trying to give him a gift at the airport.
