Pann : Monsta X's new controversy 1. [+51, -1] It's this type of game 2. [+43, -2] It's not a typical game. Search Destiny Child and see the female characters. They emphasize the female characters' bodies with minimal clothing. It's not just a problem of a typical anime otaku. It's a problem of sexualization and female rights. The fact that he's using a sexualized product is disappointing enough... I wouldn't care if he was doing this in private but did he have to put that as the lock screen? 3. [+42, -1] That's a game character and the game has really bad illustrations. One of the female characters is wearing a swimsuit that has a zipper on the crotch. I think this is why it's controversial. 4. [+21, -0] This is a chocolate sold in Japan. Are you gonna say it's OK because it's just food? Whether it's anime or game, the fact that he's using a sexualized product and using it as the lock screen is problematic. 5. [...

(Pann says Yoona fans are encouraging people to vote for Kim Nam Joo so that Suzy can't win the award) - Pann : Yoona fans are trying to stop Suzy from winning Baeksang Award 1. [+122, -40] The celebrities SM fans hate the most are YG, BTS, Suzy, IU, and Twice 2. [+106, -22] Yoona's drama The King in Love got the lowest ratings of MBC's historical dramas. It's too bad that she's not a nominee but that's too much. 3. [+88, -86] Why is Suzy even winning an award though ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is she good at acting? Did her work get good ratings? The actors and producers were famous but it got low ratings, just one digit ㅋㅋㅋ It was only issued. 4. [+84, -12] Here's the proof. 5. [+35, -40] Suzy didn't even achieve anything. Kim Nam Joo deserves the award. 6. [+35, -16] Yoona fans are too much. I saw compilations of hateful comments towards female celebrities and a lot of them were Yoona fans. 7. [+34, -9] What's not true? It's all over community...

The temperature of Daegu on April 21 was 32°C, which is much higher than the average (21.8°C). It's the highest April temperature in the region since January 31, 1907. Just a month ago (March 21), it had snowed in Daegu which was the heaviest snow in March in 111 years. - Article : Daegu had a heavy snow in March, and sets a new record of the hottest April weather in 111 years Source: Yeonhap via Naver 1. [+3178, -55] Why is it so hot in Daegu? People in Daegu must be worried about the summer already. 2. [+2902, -74] Wow, 32°C in April? Daegu just Daegu'd. 3. [+1752, -95] I'm moving back to Seoul. I've been living here for a year but I can't bear it. Daegu residents are amazing. 4. [+1656, -52] Daefrica. It's gonna be burning this year, too ㅠㅠ 5. [+1176, -250] I swear it'll reach 50°C this summer. 6. [+345, -9] It doesn't even take a month for winter to become summer. 7. [+204, -16] There's no such thing as spring anymore ㅋㅋ 8. [+210, -3...

I suffered a medical accident while getting a lipoma removal surgery. It's been 2 weeks since the surgery but the hospital offers no compensation. It breaks my heart to get treated everyday. Honestly, I don't think any compensation will make me feel better. - Pann : Han Ye Seul suffers medical  accident 1. [+62, -0] Han Ye Seul was able to publicize this because she's a celebrity. Imagine a non-celebrity going through that and getting unfair treatment. Causing medical accident and not offering anything is just ruining the person's life. 2. [+29, -0] Hul, she's my role model. This is crazy... I feel so bad for her. 3. [+27, -2] That's crazy, how can they do that to an actress... It certainly wasn't easy for Han Ye Seul to speak up like that. She must've felt so sad to publicize it. The doctors need to be investigated and punished. Honestly, this was publicized because she was a celebrity. If this was a non-celebrity, they would've gotten nothing...

Article : Hiphop-EDM festivals rising... Rock-Jazz festivals on the decline Source: Donga Ilbo via Naver 1. [+255, -14] We needs to get rid of useless festivals. There are too many of them. 2. [+225, -13] The popularity of rock is declining worldwide. It could be a good chance to cast major rock bands but they're closing down the festivals, how sad. I hope Pentaport does a big one this time. 3. [+171, -14] It's boring because it's the same repetoire everywhere. And there are too many rock festivals. 4. [+123, -54] The majority of rock festival audience is there to enjoy the atmosphere, not to listen to the rock music. 5. [+53, -16] Rock is dead. I'm a fan of Blink 182 but the rock market is dead, especially in Korea. 6. [+36, -1] Is Korean hip-hop really hip-hop? They're just posers. 7. [+32, -1] Last year, Pentaport and Jisan festivals had really weak line-ups. They could've had just one major band to attract audience. Still, I don't want rock fest...

Article : Suzy "I turn on the recorder when I drink" Source: TV Report via Nate "When I drink with my friends, I turn on the recorder and interview my friends. When they listen to the recordings later, they get surprised because they say things and words that they weren't even aware of. They even forget that they said such things." 1. [+1768, -279] She can't even talk properly when she's sober though. 2. [+1336, -181] I understand Suzy doing that since she doesn't speak well on the broadcast. It could be even more dangerous when she's drunk. 3. [+1141, -146] It must be her method of being careful since she could make a mistake ㅠ 4. [+100, -17] Suzy is pretty but why is her mouth always hung open like that... 5. [+96, -22] Suzy is the type that tries to be careful with her words at official events and beats about the bush and ends up not getting to the point. 6. [+86, -17] Her pretty looks aside, there's too much media-play of her ㅋㅋ ...

Pann : Please congratulate on NU'EST W's first win! 1. [+192, -4] I scrolled down without thinking anything but it's so heartbreaking. I hope they do well. Hwaiting. 2. [+179, -4] I couldn't sleep and saw this post. Congratulations, cheering for you ㅎㅎ Loves, please protect them well so that a lot of people can enjoy NU'EST's music and buy their albums~ They're a very likeable group. 3. [+162, -2] Big congratulations 4. [+92, -1] If you watch the encore video, the staff watches the members crying and says "wow, they got here by their own power" "exactly". It's really daebak. The staff could've been watching them on music shows since pre-Produce. It was so touching... 5. [+69, -1] The members couldn't believe it ㅠㅠ 6. [+65, -1] NU'EST W's comeback was on October 10 and the articles of the sexual harassment were out on October 12. They won #1 on M Countdown on October 19 but they got so much hate for the...

Pann : Seriousness of EXO Chen's racist statement 1. [+88, -3] I'm really surprised that there's no apology yet. Is he trying to bury the controversy? It's so annoying how Chen is hiding behind his fans and company. Whether it was intentional or not, it was a big mistake and it damaged hallyu and K-pop. It's going to affect EXO's overseas tours which also affects the other members. Hurry up and apologize officially. 2. [+74, -3] What's funny is that Chen's age is old enough to know whether the statement is problematic or not. These days, people are sensitive over racism and are being extra careful about it. I can understand seniors not being aware but he's young and he himself is Asian. He should really apologize. 3. [+66, -3] Why is he staying silent? SM or Chen needs to speak up before this gets spread more. A lot of people should know about it but once it hits foreign media, Korea will be criticized. They need to wake up and make a proper deci...

Article : [Issued research] "It takes 11 weeks to get over a breakup" Source: Asia Economics via Naver 1. [+118, -4] When you're breaking up with someone, don't just cut off all contacts and ghost. Meet up with them and have a serious talk to end the relationship. That's a right manner for the other person... 2. [+67, -6] It takes a minute to fall for someone. It takes an hour to like someone. It takes a day to love someone. But it takes forever to get over someone. 3. [+62, -3] It doesn't work like that... It might take years or decades of years... 4. [+58, -2] Other people seem to have no trouble with breaking up and meeting someone new... I guess I'm one of the stupidest ones. 5. [+47, -3] I can't get over them forever... 6. [+27, -0] If it was love, can you really get over that? It might get better but love can never be replaced or forgotten. 7. [+19, -1] What a useless research, it depends on the person. 8. [+17, -0] The minimum it tak...

He colored his lips black and called himself Kunta Kinte - Pann : Chen's controversy of insulting black people 1. [+564, -32] He was doing a punishment and said, "ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hey, don't I look like Kunta Kinte? ㅋㅋㅋ" 2. [+374, -73] Tsk tsk, these guys are taking turns to get into controversies. They're fearless because they have EXO-Ls defending them for everything. 3. [+352, -34] Hul... It was this much? I read the comments before and thought it was nothing but it's too much. Seriously. 4. [+207, -15] Just like Baekhyun's depression controversy, the fans will defend him by saying "Baekhyun-ah, you did nothing wrong. Thank you so much for the apology. We love you. Thank you for your courage." 5. [+156, -4] This definitely needs an official apology. 6. [+126, -13] Is he fucking crazy? This needs to spread more. It's really serious. Wendy's controversy should've taught them a lesson. I'm sure they have a lot of black fans. 7. [+1...

Pann : Make sure you look out for the clothes with English phrases 1. [+175, -2] Fuck, I just imagined a foreigner wearing a shirt with 'vagina' written in Korean. 2. [+63, -0] Do the manufacturers not look up on the meanings of the English phrases? Why do they keep using these stupid phrases? 3. [+59, -0] Did they not have any other idea... It's really low quality. 4. [+29, -1] I always search up the meanings before I buy shirts with English phrases on them. One day, I found a shirt that said 'virgin' with a drawing of a girl. I looked up the meaning and I was really flustered. 5. [+18, -0] My mom almost bought a sweatshirt with 'illegitimate child' written in English... I told her what it meant and stopped her. 6. [+15, -0] The manufacturers must be using these English phrases on purpose ㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're all weird. 7. [+14, -18] My friend wore a shirt that said 'female superiority' without knowing what it means... 8. [+13, -0] I s...
