Is pole-dancing becoming the norm?

0701-ivy-pole-dancing2.jpg

Apparently poles are becoming a necessity when sexy divas dance on stage. I was totally surprised and disgusted when Suh In Young became a borderline stripper with her pole-dancing moves, but now Ivy is following Suh’s lead. During her charity concert “Ivy & Present 1″ Ivy danced with the pole wearing skimpy outfits. What ever happened to her theory of “I can be sexy fully clothed?” That idea probably lasted less than two months. Perhaps she couldn’t resist the temptation to show off her hot bod, but com’on. Pole dancing? Oh, and in hopes of topping Suh in her stripper moves, Ivy added a chair to her dance routine. God help them both!

    Ummm….yeah…what type of Charity event was this supposed to be again??

  4. 4 han July 1, 2007 at 1:01 am

    and i thought suh in young was slutty…

  5. 5 Gaek July 1, 2007 at 1:14 am

    WTF.

    This is worse than Miss Suh’s vile display.

  6. 6 parkerlewis July 1, 2007 at 1:29 am

    I’m literally drooling. Wow she looks hot, unlike Horse-face Killah, Suh In Young.

  7. 7 nana July 1, 2007 at 1:45 am

    i guess they wanna be the pussycat dolls…

  8. 8 Se7enFan July 1, 2007 at 1:45 am

  9. 9 Eve July 1, 2007 at 2:11 am

    Eh Ivy did a chair routine with her A-Ha song so that’s old news.

    ROFL ROFL ROFL

    POLE DANCING AT A CHARITY EVENT?

    These girls have really hit an all-time low.

  11. 11 xxcrazy_onex July 1, 2007 at 2:58 am

    NOOOOOOOO!!

    aww. im disappointed…i really thought she was above that stuff…-_-;; dangg

  12. 12 Hunter July 1, 2007 at 3:12 am

    This is so strange… i mean even in that states thats a bit iffy… I thought S. Korea was ultra conservative! lol at least the pussy cats dolls do a more stylized and less vulgar version of stripping
    this girl looks like seasoned veteran

    and who is that guy at the bottom of the stage?

  13. 13 suju July 1, 2007 at 3:15 am

    HAHAH, this must be a charity event to raise money for the young to-be strippers. They need money to start learning to strip before they start making some from it~ if that makes sense.

    Eh, I’ve lost hope in Ivy being different.

  14. 14 AverageGuy July 1, 2007 at 4:04 am

    huh??…wha???… take a “chill pill”! I see nothing evil here.

  15. 15 Se7enFan July 1, 2007 at 4:17 am

    AverageGuy….I am almost tempted to photoshop these pics with arrows pointing and saying ‘ENTER HERE’ or something like ‘I ACCEPT ALL FORMS OF PAYMENT’ but I wouldn’t want to damage any possible career chances in Korea for myself if it was discovered I did it….hmmm. Oh well….

  16. 16 kyff July 1, 2007 at 4:33 am

    Ivy had the chair dance thing before, for A-ha. And TSZX have the pole dance bit in the One More Time, OK? MV
    but yeah, time and place, Ivy :\

  17. 17 me!!! July 1, 2007 at 5:51 am

    its not that bad..common..now SIY is another story..she is goin to far n dirty…ivy on the other hand is not so bad cause she is not all over the places n doin sum nasty pose that u can see evreythin…

    its kinda funni to see how much they will go to look sexy…this is not lookin sexy..this is wut u call slutty…oh n why is she doin this at a charity thing?..its not like if u do that n ull get more money..or maybe u do?…but wow..cant believe celebs these days..i think that thye are worse than celebs n America..i mean here, there are celebs that dont eat all at n look scary or celebs that drink too much..u noe the usual

  18. 18 daneil July 1, 2007 at 6:25 am

    pssh I still like ivy more than the other girls

    Hyori did it in her music video shall we dance.
    stephaine did it in her music video and NUMEROUS shows like star king.

    it says that ivy took it fromt he movie coyote ugly
    she was performing can’t fight the moonlight

    the chair dance was always a part of her routine of A-HA

  19. 19 thejerk July 1, 2007 at 7:39 am

    stupid sluts

  20. 20 dust bunny July 1, 2007 at 9:28 am

    “I can be sexy fully clothed?”
    I guess the answer was a NO there.

  21. 21 parkerlewis July 1, 2007 at 9:52 am

    so many haters. Ivy looks great on the pole.

  22. 22 christianpete July 1, 2007 at 9:52 am

    when Ivy debuted not too long ago, somehow I knew she had some “bad girl” sluttiness inside her just waiting to come out. woah!

  23. 23 Mics July 1, 2007 at 10:03 am

    @ me!!! : We can’t see everything but I bet that guy below did =D Luckeeh for him! rofl.

    Lol honestly the whole pole thing being done more than twice by other singers is getting a bit boring already. They should think of something new and better like dry humping in public?? That’s next to poles right? lol.

  24. 24 amareally July 1, 2007 at 10:47 am

    OMG ! this is disturbing … No wonder little girls (age 5-10) on shows (like Star King)started to do the booty-hip shaking sexy dances ! It’s so disturbing to see those kids doing that at such young age .. this may have caused the bad influenced on S.Korean girls…. I’m glad I don’t life there for once .. I might have to start watching what my kids are seeing on TV

  25. 25 BeSerious July 1, 2007 at 11:51 am

    Quite the walking paradox.
    First you say she needs to shed some clothes in order to be sexy, and now she’s a stripper.
    You know what though, for once I agree with you. This charity event is a disaster.

    But I think you need to tone down the animosity when it comes to sexy stars and perhaps show some impartiality by either dogging on male groups (SuJu, DBSK) or re-angle your sexy-hatred onto them.

  26. 26 daneil July 1, 2007 at 12:39 pm

    you guys are acting like this was the only thing at her concert.

    the pole part was so short. i hated it but she did it.

  27. 27 Se7enFan July 1, 2007 at 12:49 pm

    Whaa…lets call it what it is. SEX….there is no way dancing on a pole can be considered tasteful. If you’re a guy and you like what you see then so be it but for a female its like well is this what I have to do in order to be successful?? This is a dilemma. You see her ass cheeks and the only thing that is covering her vagina are her hands…I mean oh she has clothes on but hey I see enough to imagine off of. LOL. So lets stop being coy and call it what it is.

  28. 28 chrinstina July 1, 2007 at 1:37 pm

    i not a big fan of her and i think she doesnt look hot but i did saw a clip of the chair dance and i thought it wasnt that bad. she have a moves i give her that.

    anyway i think they need too have less sexy stuff since im sure kids watch it too and i’m sure ppl over there dont want to give the kids the impression that being sexy is the thing. i’m sure there are more to music than being sexy/slutty. not to mention they shouldnt be watching this kind of stuff anyway.

  29. 29 Narae July 1, 2007 at 2:09 pm

    Oh my god!! I like her but i thought she was beyond that. She said it herself. I’m disappointed….WHAT’S NEXT GIRLS??? Nude pictures? *sigh*

  30. 30 Dovey July 1, 2007 at 3:28 pm

    How sad… turning to pole dancing to be considered sexy? They’re even making some of the slutty-like celebs of the U.S. look better! XD

  31. 31 Eve July 1, 2007 at 4:38 pm

    I’m sorry to say this but I’m a bit disappointed in PopSeoul for making it seem like all she did that night was pole/chair dancing. I just saw some other pictures of the charity event and she sang other ballads and many other stars came, just kind of sad I guess. I understand that news reporting is about what would cause a bigger reaction but I feel like there will be so many unfair negative thoughts about Ivy. Her charity show really helped many people, all proceeds went to it and she also cried at the end. The pole dancing was for the Ugly Coyote themed stage, she sang “Can’t Fight The Moonlight” & the chair dance was an old dance from her old song, ‘Ah-Ha’.

    Don’t get me wrong I’m not a huge fan of Ivy but still…

  32. 32 inez July 1, 2007 at 7:53 pm

    I guess it must be the ‘in’ thing now..Pole Dancing..
    looks weird on Ivy tho’..

  33. 33 bitchslaptothamax July 1, 2007 at 8:38 pm

    she’s saying “F**K ME F**K ME F**K ME!”

  34. 34 Em July 2, 2007 at 1:58 am

    these girls are screaming for attention.

  35. 35 ed July 2, 2007 at 2:47 am

    mm, she’s got looks and sings great too. but this is less sexy, than “i got girl parts and they WORK!”

    i blame it on unimaginative choreography:P
    time to study up bob fosse, modern dance (some are all nude but “arty”!), early 90s madonna, etc.

  36. 36 dust bunny July 2, 2007 at 9:08 am

    in any country “sex sells” and in Korea sex sells like half price kimchi

  37. 37 christine July 2, 2007 at 10:31 am

    guess we’ll just have to wait and see if Chae Yeon starts riding her glowstick … she’s the last in the quartet of ’sexy divas’ isn’t she?

  38. 38 I am your DeathNote July 2, 2007 at 11:17 am

    I dont no…. all I no is.. its getting boring.

  39. 39 me!!! July 2, 2007 at 1:55 pm

    mic- hahaha.. i luv for sayin dry-humpin…iono..maybe that might be the norm if sum one did it..im pretty sure that’ll be next n line..

  40. 40 sexychickita July 3, 2007 at 2:13 am

    pole dancing is used as a form of exercise aside from pilates and yoga her in the philippines..but dancing on stage slash pole dancing..i don’t know..i think it’s not that descent aura..XP but it depends,if it is for music..it’s fine..as long as there is no lust feelings involved!!hahahaa!!!

  41. 41 Anne July 4, 2007 at 8:24 am

    oh i see…it’s a charity cuz the guys are stuffing dollars down her shirt, right? xP

  42. 42 jane July 4, 2007 at 10:15 am

    nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    not ivy!!!!!!

    im very disappointed in her T.T or her company that probably suggested that pole dancing is sexy…

  43. 43 Reetho July 4, 2007 at 1:53 pm

    oh no…asian stars are imitating Britney, Christina, and Shakira!!!

  44. 44 kpopfan July 5, 2007 at 6:24 am

    There’s a reason why it’s called a ’strippers pole’ isn’t it?? It’s not just an innocent dance. I don’t see anything artistic about it. But sex sells, right?

    And for those who keep saying its a double standard, and to pick on the male performers — when they strip down to thongs and dry hump their fellow members, then they’ll be on the same level. So far, I haven’t seen anyone in TVXQ or Super Junior do this! The most I’ve seen is a flash of tummy exposed during a live performance. TVXQ exposed some chests in the Hi Ya Ya video but it was on the beach in Bora Bora – quite appropriate.

  45. 45 Christy994 July 7, 2007 at 10:32 pm

    She’s only pole dancing because she was doing a parody in a sense of Coyote Ugly’s Can’t Fight the Moonlight. And that person sitting below her is her backdancer who was handing her the mic back an forth.

  46. 46 yriami July 9, 2007 at 8:13 am

    God im sick of this thats all they do

  47. 48 nomu July 16, 2007 at 5:31 pm

    i pity the guy in front…

  48. 49 mawee July 16, 2007 at 8:03 pm

    that thing with the chairs,, done by britney spears and PCD
    but in music vids or music shows.. but on a charity concert?? oh no~

  49. 50 aura December 21, 2007 at 6:53 am
