Pojok Korea The Right Place For Korea Lovers

HIGH4's debut 'Not Spring, Love or Cherry Blossoms' with IU was a big hit, accumulating over 100 million streaming but they disappeared after - Pann : Idol group who is the biggest one-hit wonder 1. [+208, -326] There's also this group who has no hit song ㅋㅋ (The hosts are talking about BTS) "In fact, I don't know any of their songs! How can there be a hallyu star who's unknown in Korea like this?" 2. [+171, -249] EXO only has Growl so they're also a one-hit wonder 3. [+131, -3] Crayon Pop 4. [+95, -3] It was only about IU... The song would've been popular with any male artist. 5. [+59, -0] What's with the top comments? 6. [+50, -1] It reminds me of U-Kiss... Manmanhani~ 7. [+47, -16] Love Scenario by iKON 8. [+37, -57] BTS is Korean so how come only Koreans don't know their songs? 9. [+37, -2] IU saved the song. 10. [+36, -32] Makes me laugh when people say BTS doesn't have a hit song ㅋㅋ I know you don...

Article : 'Money Game' Bae Jin Soo, "Running Man hasn't contacted me yet... They demanded to prove plagiarism" Source: My Daily via Nate Bae Jin Soo: "A lot of people are asking me about it... The broadcast station hasn't contacted me yet. My department talked to the show's staff about violating copyrights but they demanded that I had to prove it... As a creator, it makes me lose my strength ㅠㅠ" - 1. [+1790, -20] Running Man writers admitted that they made the episode based on Money Game but behind our backs they demanded the artist to prove plagiarism? Delinquents ㅋㅋㅋ 2. [+1342, -41] The staff needs to realize that pretending like it didn't happen doesn't work anymore. They threaten the artist behind but apologize to the viewers, are they mafia or what? 3. [+1287, -34] What sort of delinquents are they? They also pretended to be sorry like someone? They apologized right away but behind our backs they were being sly. Naver's we...

2394 readers were to choose 3 Korean actors (March, 2018) 10) Jung Woo Sung - Tall, cool face, looks like a handsome baseball player from Osaka - Good at all kinds of acting like thriller and romance - Some dislike him because he has an anti-Japanese image 9) Jo Seung Woo - Big impact from dramas 'Horse Healer' and 'Stranger' (hits in Japan) - Good voice - Doesn't have this throat-scratching sound unique from Korean men - More male fans than female fans 8) Yoo Hae Jin - The person who appears in every Korean film - Unique actor - Actor whom everybody recognizes but not his name 7) Song Joongki - Korean version of Tsumabuki Satoshi - Handsome and lively - Lots of love from Japanese women by dramas 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal' and 'Descendants of the Sun' - Fans became very busy after he got married 6) Choi Min Sik - Great acting, return of Nakadai Tatsuya - Treasure of Korea - Mixed opinions but everybody approves of...

During debut days, Park Bom's drug scandal broke out and they were dragged in. They lost a member, rearranged the group, and hit daebak with Really Really, but TOP's drug scandal broke out. At the end of that year, they said Winner will have 3 comebacks a year but Kush's drug scandal broke out. Jinwoo has to enlist so their upcoming comeback could be their last album as a group, but Seungri's scandals are ruining the atmosphere. - Pann : Idol group that has the worst timing of all. 1. [+349, -33] Hey, it's not about bad timing. It's about having a sh*t agency ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 2. [+181, -20] I always forget that Winner is in YG and then I go, "Oh right, they're from YG..." I personally feel bad for them. 3. [+101, -15] Wow, the fans must be so pissed off. 4. [+79, -40] Song Mino's gynaecologist controversy was legendary, too. Why did you exclude it ㅋㅋ Are you sure it's only about bad timing? 5. [+40, -5] They're also really unlucky. They we...

Pann : Characteristic of American restaurants in the 1940's 1. [+100, -2] Hul, I wasn't the only one who thought of SpongeBob. 2. [+77, -0] It's cute. They look so unique and nice. 3. [+42, -0] They look like filming sets of movies, so cute ㅋㅋㅋ 4. [+24, -2] Our country was barely liberated in the 1940's and people wandered around the street and survived by eating grass. Meanwhile, Americans were already dressing up and going to fancy restaurants with their friends. It's like the culture of going to famous restaurants and posting on Instagram. Their dresses still look cute and pretty. Sometimes, when I see Korean seniors lacking manners and acting rude, I was frustrated at how they weren't elegant and polite like foreign seniors. But seeing things like this makes me understand why. Unlike American seniors who grew up in a polished and clean culture, Korean seniors went through wars and struggles to survive and had no time to care about mann...

Article : Dong Ji Hyun, "I was a speech teacher for EXO and Red Velvet... I hit their stomachs a lot." (Radio Star) Source: Sports Today via Nate "SM asked me to teach their artists speech methods and attitude for interviews. I asked SM, "You want me to stop one's true colors from showing through?" SM said yes, and I began the teaching. I hit their stomachs for vocalization. Usually, people do chest breathing so it's hard to learn abdominal breathing. I held a handball ball and hit their stomachs with it. Once I hit the stomach, they're able to produce sounds while breathing abdominally." - 1. [+210, -5] They seem to learn all sorts of things... 2. [+159, -14] I really envy her voice. She talks really well, too. 3. [+105, -6] Look at the clickbait title. 4. [+25, -2] The way SM educates their idols is really interesting... I heard that they send funny trainees to the gagman Jun Yoo Sung. 5. [+17, -3] On shopping channels, there's ...

Pann : What's interesting about BTS is that they don't have a leftover member 1. [+321, -13] Rather than every member shining, I can't think of an outstanding member. BTS feels like BTS itself. 2. [+294, -14] BTS has a good team balance. The 7 members know that their fellow members have to do well for themselves to do well. They have a member good at performance, a member good at music, and their roles as vocalists and rappers are clear. None of them falls behind. 3. [+279, -15] It's good that they don't have a top member. Every member is good at something so they don't have a leftover member. 4. [+103, -3] Americans also find it interesting. In the US, a boy band always has one outstanding member and the other members seem like the background. They find it interesting that all members in BTS are equally liked. 5. [+94, -4] There's no such thing as a bias... My bias changes every time. 6. [+94, -3] Even for the CFs, they only do them as a group. 7. [...

1) When she was 16 and a trainee, she spent a night at a hotel in Japan with other sunbae YG artists. She was underage but they drank all night and told her, "I hope you grow up fast so that we can go to the club together." 2) "My unnie auditioned at YG. Yang Hyun Suk told her she was better and prettier than me and accepted her as a trainee. But as time passed, he started ignoring my unnie's greeting. My mother asked him politely to greet her back. He told her that he didn't realize what he was doing and that he'd greet her back. But he kept ignoring my sister even though she greeted him loudly." 3) "When there's a trainee with wealthy parents, they get different treatment. When the parents give expensive presents to YG staff, it definitely changes things. They treat rich trainees better and give more lessons to them. No matter how talented you are, you can't catch up to wealth. As YG started changing as it was getting filled with rich t...

Hyun Young wore this white outfit to Lee Hwi Jae's wedding She attended the wedding as Lee Hwi Jae's guest so she was supposed to stand on Lee Hwi Jae's side (left) in the group picture. But she stood behind Lee Hwi Jae's wife for the group picture. Later, at Hyun Young's wedding, Nancy Lang attended with a white outfit. (Lee Hwi Jae and Hyun Young had dating rumors in 2009 which Lee Hwi Jae denied) - Pann : Wearing white at a wedding will bring you karma 1. [+435, -0] I didn't notice it when she was by herself but in the group picture, she stands out a lot. And she's standing right behind the bride... 2. [+432, -14] Our country might be sensitive over the color but I just don't get why people would wear white of all colors to a wedding ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 3. [+370, -0] Maybe she planned to stand behind the bride? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 4. [+179, -1] I think there's a drama behind this. 5. [+176, -1] She intended this ㅋㅋㅋㅋ She must've had something go...

Pann : Controversial topic in Europe 1. [+465, -37] 65 is too young. I think 80 is the right age. 2. [+226, -34] This is a nonsense ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even Korea is becoming an extremely aged society and it's worse for Europe. Only empty-headed people would say that. 3. [+219, -200] I get their point. This claim came out during Brexit. Because the senior class supported Brexit, the progressive young class got upset and came up with the claim. We think it's a nonsense because we have a democratic government but even during Park Geun Hye's government, people wanted age over 80 to be banned from voting. And I think the minimum age to vote should be lower. 4. [+99, -2] Why do people want the minimum age to vote to be lower? If teenagers can vote, why not let elementary school kids vote, too? You think this is picking a class president? 5. [+95, -3] Then who's going to speak for the rights of seniors? 6. [+85, -0] It can't even be a joke because deprivation of vote means depriv...

Somi - Not joining Sejeong (big win) - Chance to escape Gugudan, most spotlight without Somi, a solo release after 6 months will be another hit like Flower Way. Mina (win) - Gugudan Yoojung (win) - Weki Meki Doyeon (win) - Weki Meki Chaeyeon (win) - Can escape Dia Nayoung (big win) - Jobless Sohye (loss) - She's currently establishing her acting career so IOI promotion will be just like a military service. Kyulkyung (loss) - Why would she come back to Korea? Yeonjung (loss) - WJSN is a rising girl group so IOI promotion will risk in losing her position in WJSN. Chungha (big big big loss) - This is like asking Son Heung Min to play for Jeonbuk to boost the reputation of K-League. - Pann : Win/loss for the members from IOI's reunion 1. [+197, -2] Everything aside, I agree that it's a loss for Chungha. 2. [+156, -0] I think it'll be a win for Sohye. If she promotes in IOI again, she'll get more attention which will bring more drama roles. 3. [+111, -2] ...
