Bada and Son Ho Young have a lot in common because they share similar career paths – from groups to solo artist – and their current level of popularity (or lack thereof) is about the same. These B-list stars were not only born on the same year (1980) but they are also…
Similarity 1: Members of Legendary pop groups
Ajumma perm lover Bada was the leader of S.E.S and washboard ab owner Son Ho Young was the underappreciated singer of g.o.d.
Similarity 2: Individuals with questionable fashion senses
Bada favors the drag and Smurf look while Son Ho Young tries to pass off the cutesy look at 27.
Similarity 3: Attention seekers with minimum success
Perhaps it’s from their desire to be at the top again, just like their good-old-days, but these two try too hard to get some media attention and it shows! Bada only wears clothes that scream “Look at me! I’m different” and Son Ho Young tries too hard to please everybody with his fake smile. Somebody should tell them that their secret recipe for attention expired.
Similarity 4: Owner of hot bods without the matching face
No one can deny the hotness of Son’s washboard abs and Bada’s toned figure. But there’s a disconnect between Son’s toned body and his face – I can’t look at his abs and the face at the same time simply because it freaks me out. Similarly, Bada’s toned legs don’t go well with her fake plastic face either. And her “I’m-a-wannabe-rock-star” expression makes her look stranger.
Similarity 5: Creators of odd album concepts
These two pick the weirdest concepts/images for their albums. Bada is supposed to be a “Queen” wearing not a crown, but an outdated ajumma perm and Son is a lighthearted candy boy who holds concerts under the sea and sings about a sad love story. Eh? Exactly!
Similarity 6: Singers with wimpy comebacks
Because of their idol days, there’s always a huge hype before their comeback, but when they actually release the album, the results are usually mediocre. They don’t tank, but they don’t rank high on the charts either. But it would be nice if they proved us wrong with their latest singles. Good luck perm lover and ab-man – you probably need it.

Son Ho Young’s My Heart in the Sky (하늘에 내 마음이)
Yeah i second on your thoughts on Ho Young. I mean he is really hot. But then i cant seem to fit the puzzle together of his face with his body. It just doesnt make sense to me.
“But there’s a disconnect between Son’s toned body and his face ”
==> Hahahaha, you’re funny
Oh. Well I was going to say that they were both males except one was actually born with balls and the other wants to attach some… but I guess those 6 reasons are good enough.
wait a minute i know you are not bad mouthing on son ho young. with what you said about bada i agree with you whole heartly,but not on shy. to me his looks are unique and beautful that is why he is sooooo hot. he could have been like other stars and got plastic surgery but no he loves his features. the thing that is hurting his image is all this cutesy stuff and what his stylist has him wearing. i have said this at so many different sites that his stylist seriously needs to be shot(just joking), but he really does need a new look. something more manly, so others can see how truely hot he is.
yeah i know, right!!!
ho young’s face and his body…. =3
i was actually freaked out when i saw his abs
and i think it’s better if he doesn’t smile.. =/
but i kinda like bada’s face
pretty and far better than shoo’s
but her current hairdo really irks me
: know that everyone has their own opinion…but I love son ho young…wasn’t happy to read u bashing him ;D
I’m a big fan of both of them…and they’re both talented, underrated singers so yea I don’t see anything totally wrong with them. Maybe their album images are weird but have you seen some of the other korean artists…what was with Tony’s lace phase during Yutzipratza’s Love? And those weird hiphop groups that perform on Music Core (they look like they dressed in the dark) I think we have to take their fashion with a grain of salt because I don’t really think it’s their decision…they’re just pretty much in charge of public appearances and singing.
Maybe someday you’ll see that bashing isn’t always the right way to go 8D
the guy looks hella scary in the 2nd picture (blue one)
HAHAHA Your description cracked me up ^^
I love your humor “Ajumma perm lover Bada” HAHAHA
I think Son HoYoung has the looks, the cool moves, the body to die for..and yeah he has the sunniest smiles plus awesome personality. He’s perfect to me. I have no comment on Bada..
My Heart In The Sky MV looks like Rain’s In My Bed. Some creativity please, Son Ho Young.
Nothing is more pathetic than a washed-up Korean “entertainer” desperately trying to regain his or her former station. I sense some pole-dancing coming Pada’s way soon…
He’s 27?*shakes head in disbelief*
Well, I hope to see more of them in the future.
Son Ho Young is not that bad…come on people.
Both songs are nice…
bada did plastic surgery!?
really!?
wow. this is impressive, popseoul!
im really impressed. its like a term paper
with a thesis, main arguments, support, and concrete details. =)
im really amused. thanks popseoul!
hehe. im in the back to school mode.
Yeah, the SHY’s MV does looks like Rain’s “In my Bed”…i suspect he uses the same black car too…
Can’t look at the abs … I always try to keep my focus on the face … (look at his face, look at his face, look at his face !!)
i like son ho-young…
bada… nehhh
^^~
i actually really like son ho young
especially before the whole look-at-my-abs concept..
he had this miso chunsa image..
and he was so cute..
and then he showed off his body
not that i dont like it
omfg, i just love to agree with people’s opinion.
especially sophia. xD
Haha. I agree 100% with what you said Popseoul, esp. concerning SHY.
I like Bada, but that perm needs to go. NOW.
Bada will eventually get over her ajuma stage, hopefully soon. I actually liked her fashion sense most of the time, before this one. Son Ho Young- I never really was a fan of him, but he has a hot bod and a cute smile. Just look at each feature one at a time, not the whole thing- You’ll just get confused.
I think Son Ho Young is really cute in this MV and I love his song! Even though the dancing and singing in front of a black car concept is similar to Rain’s, I still enjoyed watching the MV. And also, SHY’s black car is obviously not the same as Rain’s black car… to whoever said that previouly…
ok am i weird that i like bada’s style???????
sorry, but I think, that they’ve finally gone crazy and let themselves go…
hmm…SHY’s first picture looks like a very bad fan-boy’s attempt at Harry Potter…..
I think their unique style/music makes them stand out from what is already out there. Nowadays, all the new artists all seem the same to me @.@ Bada, at least, loves to try new styles and I think it’s great that she reinvents herself for each album she has.
eh? I find SHY’s face very nicely connected with his body.
could this be the blogger’s attempt at twisting her own opinion in order to make the parallelism work?
he looks so gay…
Bada is so ugly before AND after plastic surgery. Maybe she cut the inner corners of her eyes too much – she looks like an Indian noW! Whereas before she looked crosseyed because her eyes were small and so far apart (hence the name Bada I hear..)
Regardless of her appearance she is one of those celebrity slut/psychos I can’t stand. And she thinks she is a great singer when in reality she sounds like a dying cat.
lol! this is so funny! ^^
erk son ho young ‘fake smile ‘..i luv when he smile , its not fake , its natural n honest……….u r too much
Popseoul you have no idea about Korea at ALL. Son Ho Young has one of the best singles out in Korea rright now you dumbass. -_-
^By best singles I meant best selling. :p
They need new stylists.
You hit it right on the nose about “Similarity 3: Attention seekers with minimum success”. This is so true about Bada.
after all that is said… we should try and help them. it will be nice if they could hold a contest for a new style. fans or just anyone submits how their concept should be and how they look, etc. it’s then voted on instead of coming out with these weird looks. sorry bada but the perm has got to go…
You can’t tell is smile is fake that’s mean… it’s possible to always smile !!
And for is cloths sometime it’s weird but he looks sooo hot.
And i don’t think i he needs to fake a comportement because he has talented. Sing for real on stage and dance at the same time not like a lot kpop singer.
and i want to say that he is album is first right now so i don’t think it’s only because of is “fake comportement”
that was harsh. they didn’t fail. in g.o.d. hoyoung had the most popularity.
bada is one of the fashion divas and best female dancers.
so…I don’t really think..what you said was true.
Also, anyone can tell that his smiles are real.
Hes a human, too. You can’t blame him for trying to hide a frown..can you?
are all you of you on crack? ho young is not only hot in body but in face. i personally dont get the acttraction to muscles so i could really careless about that…but he has a youthful cheery face. do you want him to be miserable maybe because you are miserable. maybe his smiles are fake and maybe not but that is not for us to judge. just let him find happiness anyway he can. i wish that i could.
as for bada….i cant really defend her other than to say to each their own..i am very anti fashion/glam. i dont think anyone should mess with nature. no make up, no perms, no surgeries please. but if she is not happy in her own life, which obviously she isnt, that is for her to correct. once she learns to love herself and be herself i know her career will grow.
