Star Tips on Sel-caing: What Not To Do

0709-sel-ca-troubles.jpg

Stars are great sel-ca takers. After all, it’s their job to look superb in front of the cameras. But sometimes, these stars are too occupied with how they look in their sel-cas that they overlook what’s in the background. Jung Il-woo’s recent sel-ca at the public bathhouse earned him criticisms because he overlooked the butt-naked guy hastily covering up his body in the background and carelessly uploaded the picture online. Although some fans were happy to see their favorite pretty boy shirtless, most were furious because a rising star was inconsiderate of other dudes in the locker room.

Miss Universe #4 Honey Lee made the same mistake last year when she uploaded her picture from the locker room. Her picture was more telling than Jung Il-Woo’s picture, for the lady in the background was completely nude. Netizens ripped Honey Lee apart for this rude behavior and Honey had to go through rounds of apologies to un-do what she had done, but no matter how many times these stars apologized, there’s no way to reverse the damage. Once the pictures are online, there’s no way to eliminate them.

The latest addition to POPSEOUL’s star sel-ca tips is…
Rule #6: Don’t take sel-cas in the locker rooms – for the sake of your locker buddies!

    Whoa. I’d be incredibly mad if I were one of the people in those pictures…celebs need to realize there is more to the world than only what is happening to them.

    How freaking stupid would you have to be not to notice a naked person in the photo.

    I guess some people really are that self obsessed that they don’t see anything but themselves.

  5. 5 hmm July 9, 2007 at 9:08 am

    lol i completely agree with you dust bunny

  6. 6 Narae July 9, 2007 at 9:12 am

    hehehe…we can’t see the woman’s face anyway.

  7. 7 jose July 9, 2007 at 9:26 am

    thats a big boo-boo on honey’s part, i feel bad for the nude person who got exposed, good thing the face wasnt caught. but at the same time i’m trying not to laugh. i still love honey though.

  8. 8 jane =] July 9, 2007 at 9:29 am

    i actually think its quite funny. on the serious side though, the celebrities need to be less self-absorbed and notice their surroundings as popseoul said. wow, i cant believe that honey didnt notice a butt naked lady in her own picture..

  9. 9 jose July 9, 2007 at 9:51 am

    yeah, i cant believe she didnt notice that either :/ hahaha, that breaks my fantasy that honey is a not-so-self absorbed girl. note to self: always be conscious and try not to look like a fool when there is a celebrity around with a camera. but like i said before i still love her.

  10. 10 lazybum July 9, 2007 at 10:08 am

    hmmm, i thought cameras/cam phones won’t allowed in locker rooms…??? o.O

    but yeah, how can they not notice naked people in the background??? o.O

  11. 11 christine July 9, 2007 at 10:09 am

    *gasp* … Oh Jeez … I too, can’t help but laugh eventhough the inconsiderate factor went out the window.

  12. 12 blossom July 9, 2007 at 10:55 am

    gosh! so self absorb that when you load the pix, you can only see yourself!!!!!!!!!!!! om_

  13. 13 Eve July 9, 2007 at 11:06 am

    oh jesus that is horribly embarassing….

  14. 14 Eve July 9, 2007 at 11:07 am

    shouldn’t cameras not be allowed in locker rooms…I know we had this rule where cell phones weren’t allowed in the gym lock room in high school….

  15. 15 luvly July 9, 2007 at 11:30 am

    man, i thought honey would be a little more careful than that. i still respect her, but now i truly know she is seriously obsessed with herself. of the thousands of pictures she takes of her beautiful face, she just couldn’t restrain herself from posting ‘this’ photo….

  16. 16 monalisa July 9, 2007 at 12:33 pm

    The guy in JIW’s sel-ca sure has fast reflexes!

  17. 17 Mics July 9, 2007 at 12:58 pm

    geez don’t they look at the photo first before uploading online?

  18. 18 lennie July 9, 2007 at 1:33 pm

    HAHA. but OH NO. uhhh… sre they BLIND or something??? or are they so vain & narcissistic that they didn’t even notice the naked person in the background… this is why cameras are banned in all the locker rooms i’ve ever been to… i’d be SO PISSED if i were the naked person in the back

  19. 19 aissshhh July 9, 2007 at 4:37 pm

    if you look at the non-pixilated version of the Jung Il Woo picture, the guy was only topless. The Honey Lee picture.. well.. that’s. hmm

  20. 20 teabag July 9, 2007 at 7:16 pm

    In Il Woo’s picture: The guy was only topless although he didn’t actually wore the shorts but at least his thing is covered. If you look at the unedited pics, the guy actually has nice abs!! As for Il Woo, hands down for that topless photo!!!

  21. 21 Rainy_x_DaySs July 10, 2007 at 12:12 am

    when you take a picture and look at it later don’t you notice the background first? wow honeys background picture was even more worse then Jung Il-woo’s O.O

  22. 22 cUtiEjOy July 10, 2007 at 5:08 am

    this is just insane & funny (no offense)…but seriously, the first thing i check before & after the picture is taken is the background. i feel so bad for that naked lady in honey lee’s pic.

  23. 24 suzana1 July 10, 2007 at 7:23 pm

    man! they should know better than to take pics like that…how can they be so irrisponsible as to not noticing a naked person in their pics????? it is clearly showing and they don;t seem to even take notice….

  24. 25 Pviolet July 10, 2007 at 7:47 pm

    KEKEKEKEKEKEKE~
    It’s kinda funny to see Honey Lee’s pic!?
    Well,u can take picture in locker room but make sure the locker room is empty!that’s what i always did with my friends!we waited for the locker room is empty then we posed like mad!!haha~
    In that case,if someone is in the locker room watching what u were doing they’ll thing u are insane so that’s why me&friends will wait for the locker room to be empty opr less ppl then we can go crazee!~!

  25. 26 mawee July 11, 2007 at 1:26 pm

    the first pic I can still say that I`m glad he blurred the other guy but its still rude~ the 2nd one All I can say is~

    어머나~~!!!!!

    I’d take a selca pic on a bathroom but not on a locker room!!

  26. 27 prettycami July 12, 2007 at 12:15 am

    if yyou look closely at honey lee’s pix, more than two are naked in the background.. 4 if I am correct

  27. 28 girl1850 July 14, 2007 at 11:47 pm

    quite funny^^ but i felt bad for those naked ppl having such a.hole locker mates. maybe these two knew what they were doing, after all the backgrouds did catch ppls attention..

  28. 30 Mheaven December 12, 2007 at 2:00 am

    I think ill woo tried to avoid showing ppl by puttin his back against a wall..only problem was he forgot the mirror lol. anyway i guess he figured it was fine to post since that guy is covered up..But honey’s damn she really should not have posted that…soo inconsiderate.

  29. 31 han January 19, 2008 at 2:25 pm

    OMGGGGGGGGG i cant not stop laughing and dont know why. I didn’t notice it until you pointed out there WERE some nude ladies. I guess Honey’s and the other’s hot bod outshined them

  30. 32 Booyah! February 3, 2008 at 9:36 pm

    it looks like Jung Il-woo is about to cry os something lol :p …but yea, he looks hot xD

  31. 33 jes August 1, 2008 at 2:12 am
