Too easy? Yes, we know.

The winner of the evening was popdiva Lee Hyori. The girl looks great in the bronze wavy locks and the floor length sun-dress. I bet she picked that dress up when she was in the states.

  9. 9 tangy September 4, 2007 at 10:48 am

    OMG, I just realized she got some BIGGASS gums!! yeah…not really a fan of her’s(like seriously), but LOVE the dress!!

  11. 11 stupid September 4, 2007 at 11:11 am

    like what did she do go get an award??? just for looking pretty? unbelievable!!! does korea do this all the time.. giving awards to those who just looks good?? what a shallow country…

  12. 12 penguin_x3 September 4, 2007 at 11:20 am

    @ stupid

    I SO SO SO AGREE WITH YOU!!!

    ps…she’s not that pretty, I must say…

  13. 13 sleeky10 September 4, 2007 at 11:21 am

    laughs all gums…

  14. 14 jjjkkkps September 4, 2007 at 11:25 am

    slutty-looking. i can’t think of her as having a good image. beauty is simply bland and ordinary. she lacks the touch of elegance. i dont know why she get the award. she’s far behind ivy’s beauty and charm and elegance. she’s just overexposed in korea’a media. why she? terrible.

  15. 15 ivy September 4, 2007 at 11:33 am

    @ jjjkkkps

    omg. totally agree. well i dont think the dress is slutty-looking, but i agree about the ivy comment. if this is a beauty award, ivy totally should have gotten it!! ivy is beautiful, elegant, cute, and can ACTUALLY SING and DANCE.

  16. 16 Meiyee September 4, 2007 at 12:02 pm

    Fun Fearless Female? Lol..

    I love her hair though!

  17. 17 chubbygrape September 4, 2007 at 12:30 pm

    wowww the profile REALLY looked like In Young!

  18. 18 Nhi September 4, 2007 at 12:33 pm

    Actually I guessed it wrong! Her hair threw me off. One minute she has short hair, the next she takes off her extension. Bah.

  19. 19 sorry September 4, 2007 at 12:38 pm

    “Fun Fearless Female”? who wants to win THAT award? sorry…that’s like saying:

    and the sl*ttiest award goes to…*drumroll* Hyori!

  20. 20 han September 4, 2007 at 1:18 pm

    lookin’ gorgeous there
    although the award is kinda pointless… <.<

    uh, ivy? a better singer? LOL that cracks me up
    hyori may not be a great singet but ivy definitely isn’t, her voice is so freakin’ annoying!!! why else would she cry when recording with wheesung?!? and as i see it she’s bitchier than hyori

  21. 21 ExpressBusTerminal September 4, 2007 at 1:49 pm

    If you stare at a photo of Lee Hyori long enough…you can see how the different parts of her face dont fit together properly. That’s plastic surgery for you.

  22. 22 skyepink September 4, 2007 at 2:00 pm

    hey stupid - cosmo magazine gives out those awards to american female celebs (and non-celebs) too. it’s an AMERICAN magazine, and it’s an AMERICAN magazine that created that kind of an award. hyori is undeniably successful - especially in a country and culture that thinks a woman over 24 is old. she’s really breaking the age barrier and i hope she’s still successful into her 30’s.

    btw, you think korea is shallow - haha! the u.s. is a complete celeb worshiping and youth obsessed culture (see paris, lindsay lohan, etc.).

  23. 23 stupid September 4, 2007 at 2:23 pm

    To: skyepink

    just because i’m speaking against the award don’t assume that i’m an american… jeeezz people like you have this complex inferiority against americans, but yet you’re so influenced by them.. i say if you hate them so much then don’t act like them.. betcha you can’t

  24. 24 dudemanguy September 4, 2007 at 2:29 pm

    This b!tch is everywhere! Honestly how many places can you be at once?! Far out!

  25. 25 OMG! September 4, 2007 at 2:31 pm

    hrm… is it just me or are her boobs really fake lookin’? IF she did get bolt-on boobies, she got really small silicone implants instead of medium sized saline ones. natural boobies don’t make cleavage like that regardless of the type o’ bra…

  26. 26 its_trish September 4, 2007 at 2:33 pm

    re: the dress..
    or vancouver ^^

  27. 27 jyyjc September 4, 2007 at 2:34 pm

    i love the dress

  28. 28 azndramagrl September 4, 2007 at 2:40 pm

    she’s looks pretty with this hairstyle

  29. 29 skyepink September 4, 2007 at 2:43 pm

    stupid- i didn’t say that you were american or assumed it. you spoke out against koreans. don’t bash it bc that was an award created by americans.

    btw, i’m white and american. i just happen to like kpop.

  30. 30 bleahhh September 4, 2007 at 2:50 pm

    nice hair , nice dress, but ms.tardiness deserves no award

  31. 31 jamsk September 4, 2007 at 2:53 pm

    goes to show all sexy divas
    have the same hairstyle.

    Don’t you agree that hair is
    rather suh-inyoung too?

  32. 32 SF September 4, 2007 at 2:57 pm

    @ stupid

    Your hypocrisy amuses me as much as the irony of how much your name becomes you.

    1.) Perhaps you were criticizing the award but you were also criticizing the country unless the phrase “what a shallow country” was referring to something else.

    2.) Though you aren’t American (which is a relief for me and all Americans for sure), while you scorn skyepink for having a ” complex inferiority” (or did you mean inferiority complex), I think you were simply missing the point of skyepink mentioning the US; s/he was only using America as an example of a country that also celebrity worships. And wouldn’t America be a logical example to come to mind, she being the most economically powerful and culturally influential country in the world? Every country is guilty of worshipping their celebrities, neither the US nor Korea are alone in that. Furthermore, skyepink not only may not be Korean; and if she is she does NOT represent all Koreans, so it is fruitless for you to preach to her “if you hate them so much then don’t act like them…. betcha you can’t.” Or maybe you assume Korea is hanging on every word you say, in which case 1.) don’t assume all if not even most Koreans “hate America” and 2.) all countries, modernized, third-world, Asian to Indian, seek to emulate America, currently the most powerful nation. Is it so wrong to do this? And does this give you the right to stereotype an entire country on the basis of one award, one celebrity, and a commentor?

    And to the both of you, whatever race you are or whatever country you come from, think about how YOU as an individual are representing your country before you rashly criticize another for how they are representing theirs.

  33. 33 SF September 4, 2007 at 3:00 pm

    eh….Hyolee looks alright, nice I guess…. I like her “happy” eyes. But she’s starting to look a bit past her prime, not in a “old age” kind of way….just no longer “fresh.”

  34. 34 daneil September 4, 2007 at 4:47 pm

    i don’t like her bangs they just aged her so much.
    the waves in her hair are pretty though
    her dress is too long making her look way way way short
    in some of the photos her halter part looked like it loosened up cause its looks too low in some photos she should have retied it or something

  35. 35 ggk September 4, 2007 at 6:01 pm

    i agree. she’s short. when not wearing heels, she’s got very short legs. much wonder how she some people think of her as sexy.. maybe due to her misplaced and sensual actions on stage. shallownwss.

  36. 36 nezz September 4, 2007 at 6:36 pm

    WHATEVERRRRR……………….go lee hyori!!! (:

  37. 37 JAY LI September 4, 2007 at 6:50 pm

    Why hate?Why so many people here attack Hyori ,and Korea.If don’t like Korea or its girls then get da fuck off this site haters.She is beautiful and nice.What did she ever do to you to deserve such hate?Jesus people why can’t we have peace in this god damn world,look at those stupid christians who got killed by Taliban for their kindness.I am Chinese and luve Hyori ,i bet most of y’all who hate her are also racist .God i hate racist white boys.

  38. 38 JAY LI September 4, 2007 at 6:52 pm

    And by the way, I don’t hate white people just racist ones .

  39. 39 monalisa September 4, 2007 at 6:59 pm

    “…look at those stupid christians who got killed by Taliban for their kindness.”

    Jay Li - please have more respect for humanity and refrain from calling people of other religion ’stupid’!

  40. 40 Life September 4, 2007 at 8:08 pm

    “God i hate racist white boys…And by the way, I don’t hate white people just racist ones”

    Jay Li, you’re being quite a racist yourself by differentiating them from the other trillion or so people in this world who are not white.

    And I don’t see Why Chae Yeon gets so beat up for being “Old” 29 in Asian years and 28 in Western years. When Lee Hyori is just Half-A-Year younger and doesn’t get so beat up about it. Doesn’t seem fair…

  41. 41 Xtineee. September 4, 2007 at 9:09 pm

    Nice dress…

  42. 42 grace September 4, 2007 at 9:19 pm

    im not a fan of hyori, but people need to stop bashing celebrities. if you dont like them, then atleast give them some respect. they work hard and their in alot of pressure under medias and netizens…

    like i said, im not a fan of hyori but she is talented. for the first time, she looks very elegant and gorgeous! i love her smile, the light tan, and her hair that night. its great!

    thanks popseoul for writing about this! :)

  43. 43 ~sKye~ September 4, 2007 at 11:59 pm

    I LOVE HER SMILE!!!
    looks soo sweet despite what u all said
    she justs looks gorgeous all the time ^0^

  44. 44 Song September 5, 2007 at 12:25 am

    I’m not a fan of Hyori and I think she’s overrated, but I have to say she’s never looked better. She’s beautiful here. ^^

  45. 45 mawee September 5, 2007 at 12:57 am

    the tan said it

  46. 46 JAY LI September 5, 2007 at 2:38 am

    I wander if some of you who dislike Hyori are Asian at all?I am not racist but most white boys dislike us.Are most of you Asian here?

  47. 47 Aya September 5, 2007 at 2:58 am

    I think she looks a little squinty but her extensions are really beautiful.

  48. 48 Jack September 5, 2007 at 3:13 am

    I am black man who likes Hyori ,damn she fine honey.And to Honkey white boys who dislike her, you jealous ’cause you can’t have her.

  49. 49 Aya September 5, 2007 at 3:13 am

    “I am not racist but most white boys dislike us.Are most of you Asian here?”
    Are you kidding? White guys love azn chicks! Do you live in America? Maybe you (as an asian?) have low self esteem? I always go “If Id been born asian I would have a bigger modeling career” this is true it is exotic. Look at those import ladies Stephanie Ly, Kim Do, Just about everyone in that area asian. Normally white GIRLS do not like asian GUYS, but white guys have always had a thing for asians, generally. And I think Hyori is really effin gorgeous. She really is. Old or not. Sometimes I think she squints too hard, there was a time she made the doe eyes, now she realized how pretty she is with the squint, which is very attractive on women, and she does it nonstop. Where is the variation that we are accustomed to? Its the same for Jenniffer Love Hewitt haha.

  50. 50 cutex September 5, 2007 at 3:14 am

    man i guess wrong because of those extensions, so i thought it was Chae Yeon, oh well

  51. 51 Aya September 5, 2007 at 3:15 am

    Oh it could be my portion of america, I am on the west coast. I lived in California and Arizona.

  52. 52 Jack September 5, 2007 at 4:35 am

    Damn Hyori has killer smile ,so beautiful ,and natural.

  53. 53 Meru September 5, 2007 at 6:25 am

    I thought it was Chae Yeon with extensions…

    Yea, from far away she looks really pretty, but then I was thinking there’s something fake about her that I can’t put my thoughts on. It’s the squinty eye and smile combination. She looks like she’s trying hard to perfect that. Then again, some people really have that insincere smile even when it’s their natural smile.

    Jay Li, stay out of making ridculous comments on racism and religion; go back to gawk at your stash of Lee Hyori pictures on your computer.

  54. 54 sassy September 5, 2007 at 8:00 am

    why is she winning an award??
    for her constant lypsincing
    fake vocals
    diva attitude ivy should have gotten it!

  55. 55 JAY LI September 5, 2007 at 9:04 am

    To MERU why are you bashing me you stupid white boy?I love Hyori and will defend her you moron.I am not making ridiculos comments,go back to your mommy and daddy .If you hate us Asians go back to your cave like Europe ,and gawk at your ugly white girl pictures on your computer.YOU cant even have civil discussion ,you stupid honky craker spoiled white boy .

  56. 56 Yoomie September 5, 2007 at 9:25 am

    Why…is hyori winning an award called “Fun Fearless Female”? I mean I don’t hate this woman, not at all. Her songs are sometimes catchy and she has her moments. But she is not someone that should be winning an award like that. From what I read she’s dependent on getting married (being in love whichever), and has a 1950s mentallity at times about love and things of that branch. That doesn’t strike me as a fun fearless female at all. *sigh*

  57. 57 JACK September 5, 2007 at 9:47 am

    Peace to my dead homies.To all my black ,brown and yellow brothers let’s stand against white supremacy.

  58. 58 popseoul September 5, 2007 at 9:50 am

    Jack- tone it down or your comments will be deleted

  59. 59 Meru September 5, 2007 at 10:11 am

    Jay Li, I don’t think I’ve insulted/bashed you in my comment. It’s ridiculous that you assumed that I’m white and male through that one advice I made to you. I have nothing against Hyori, she’s a pretty sucessful woman who doesn’t need people like you to offensively defend her. Your discrimination against white people doesn’t relate to what the post was about, so I find it equally ironic that you’re spitting out offensive racist remarks while declaring that I can’t handle a civil dicussion. Just saying, it’s not that funny to make yourself sound uneducated which hopefully I’m assuming that you’re not.

  60. 60 geekgirl September 5, 2007 at 10:19 am

    ^5, Meru

  61. 61 CutiEjOy September 5, 2007 at 10:53 am

    love her dress!

  62. 62 Yoomie September 5, 2007 at 10:55 am

    @ Jack

    Dude have you checked crime rates? Black on white violence is double of the white on black. That includes rape. You can be proud to be black, but for people come on in here and bash whites that haven’t done a thing is ignorant on your part.

  63. 63 JAY LI September 5, 2007 at 11:09 am

    To Meru, sorry man i did’t mean to insult you or others .All I was doing is defending Hyori as a fan.Again i am really sorry ,i know that not all whites are bad.I got no hate for you or others .i just lost my temper .I hope that everybody could get along in this world and on internet boards.Really ,really sorry ,Peace.

  64. 64 Jack September 5, 2007 at 11:15 am

    To YOOMIE ,What are you saying ?Are you saying we violent thugs who kill whites for no reason?We don’t commit more crimes than whites ,and don’t say that all whites are innocent .Some of us commit crimes because of hoplessness in gheetos .

  65. 65 Jack September 5, 2007 at 11:21 am

    Crime rates don’t mean a shit ,it’s conditions that matter that cause those crime rates.

  66. 66 Jaz September 5, 2007 at 5:43 pm

    waaa….she’s so beautiful..

  67. 67 Aya September 6, 2007 at 12:19 am

    Conditions? People make their own conditions. People choose where to live and what to aspire to do. I know a very successful black FEMALE doctor who lives in a multi million dollar mansion. It was her choice as with all people to work through that. However, is she any DIFFERENT than the hundreds of other doctors in the region? No. Everyone worked, everyone went through years of painful school. It is not race which segregates you, you segregate yourself.
    then again this isnt a race board.
    White people have also persecuted white people. And asians. And Natives, and all of them to white people. There will always be some idiot out there who believes they were wronged, but in reality all people wrong eachother all the time. Though I did once see this cop pull over a black guy (Who walks from the bus stop to his work every day) and I felt this was racial discrimination, considering I see him on my way to work, on HIS way to work almost every day. It was shocking and appalling to me. But then again, I’ve been pulled over because my car is ghetto-er than anyone elses in my area. And Im white. So we are all wronged. So we wrong eachother. Need to let go.

  68. 68 whY September 6, 2007 at 2:21 am

    huh? I thought she had short hair??

  69. 69 Jack September 6, 2007 at 3:37 am

    To Aya ,people make their own conditions,WHAT?Obviously you haven’t lived in projects like me .Stop fooling yourself spoilded white girl or boy or whom ever you are.Try living yourself in those crazy conditions and you understand,there is alotof hopelessness and despair in da hood .It’s legacy of slavery .Ask any of our own black leaders like Al Sharpton ,or Jesse Jackson and they tell you da truth.My homies experience police brutality everyday ’cause we were born in hood.Not everybody makes out of hood ,its a strugle that you white people don’t understand and probably never will.Peace to all my dead homies,stay positive my brothers.

  70. 70 TamiraZ September 6, 2007 at 4:38 am

    WTF Jack. You’re a faker.

  71. 71 masa September 6, 2007 at 6:39 am

    Jack stop thinking with that head between your legs instead of that head on top of your shoulders. You know how stupid and ignorant you sound homey. Always making a excuse to justifu your crinimal actions. So homey lives in the hood and ghetto so that gives you the right to go out and kill and rob someone, rape and beat woman, and molest kids. This is a asian
    homey talking to you homey, no honky. So since I grew up pooor that gives me the right to go out and rob people. No it does not. I bet Lee Hyori would laugh at you homey soon as you open you ignorant racist mouth. Yes even with your pants around your ankles and your 10″ penic hanging down.

    Make sure you have pants up when you go to the dog fights before that dog bites that dog between your legs. How do you like that for a stereotype, homey.

  72. 72 didi September 6, 2007 at 8:41 am

    okay.. on a different more lighter note, i love hyori’s hair!! i want it like that..

  73. 73 TamiraZ September 6, 2007 at 9:25 am

    @Jack

    I doubt you have or even know what a 10″er is. It’s the little men like you that have to brag of what they don’t have, or in your case what you are lacking.

    That’s probably why you’re on this Asian site cuz you can’t satisfy a black women. Better take note, your 2″er ain’t gonna satisfy any Asian woman. Asian men are a lot bigger than you think.

    No deposits here… see ya Jack(off).

  74. 74 Jack September 6, 2007 at 9:56 am

    THIS site hates black man ,so iam leaving for good.Don’t want to hear all this stupid shit from y’all.Most of you are bad peeps anyway.Y’all need Jesus in yo life badly dat is why y’all behavin’ like mad dogs.I am no crazy ,i got family and kids,workin’ two jobs and y’all harassing me you cold shizzos.

  75. 75 Jack September 6, 2007 at 10:17 am

    Like actor Mr T said, ‘I pity the fool’.Y’all bunch of spoiled egoistical suburban pigs.

  76. 76 Jack September 6, 2007 at 10:18 am

    you know how much i hate pigs?

  77. 77 TamiraZ @ Poser Jack September 6, 2007 at 11:03 am

    Jack your a faker, a poser, and not even black. Get a new personality when come back to Popseoul. You know you love it.

    We’ll all look for you with another name and new personality. Maybe next time you can pretend that your white. Don’t be ashamed because your asian. Loser.

  78. 78 Meru September 6, 2007 at 11:41 am

    At this point, maybe popseoul should check for and delete the inappropriate comments more often. Clearly “Jack” and “Jay Li” are the one and the same.

  79. 79 Yoomie September 6, 2007 at 1:30 pm

    @ Meru I think they are. Thought Jay Li stoped.

  80. 80 popseoul September 6, 2007 at 2:13 pm

    jack - your offensive and inappropriate comments were deleted. please have some respect!

  81. 81 bambi September 8, 2007 at 5:40 pm

    Popseoul,

    You’re so admirable ! Bless your heart !
