…but that’s a good thing.

Narsha of girl group, Brown Eyed Girls revealed that her worthless ex-boyfriend was a two-timing cheater on the variety program,”Star Golden Bell.”

I was dating someone who already had a girlfriend…. later he dumped me and went back to her, but soon afterwards, they broke up.

Who wants to waste their time with a “yang-dari” (two-timer) anyways?

While filming an upcoming episode of, “Hello Baby” on KBS JOY, the Soo Young and Yoona of Girls Generation played a truth game that made them reveal their ideal man.

During the same game, Soo Young and Yoona confessed that their ideal man is the ever-so-popular Lee Seung-ki.

They playfully fought over who could win his heart, and between the two, Yoona might have a bigger advantage. On a past episode of “Strong Heart” recorded in October 2009, Lee Seung-ki supposedly showed some interest towards her.

Could this be a romance in the works? Stay tuned.. we’ll keep you updated.

F.Y.I. This is the same game where Tiffany revealed that her ideal man was 2PM’s Jo Kwon.

Alex and Ho-ran? Can these two be in love with each other?

Nah, more like co-worker/best friend love. Got to keep it professional, folks.

Clazziquai members, Alex and Ho-ran, spoke honestly about their feelings for one another, and about the other Clazziquai members on tvN’s “Taxi“. As a group that’s never in the spotlight for every little irrelevant thing their members do, this latest episode of “Taxi” will shed some personal light on the group.

On the show, Alex and Horan spoke out about shacking up with each other. They completely deny it, and are dumbfounded by the mere question. They found the question absolute ridiculous, because they never had those sorts of feelings toward one another.

Alex stated that he doesn’t want to be unprofessional; that kind of feeling never existed and never will. He wants to stay just friends with Ho-ran forever, but he speaks about how easy it was for him to become so friendly with her. Alex being a human, judged Ho-ran by her appearance and expected her to be very arrogant from his first impression.

After having eight bottles of soju, however, along with some chicken and eel, they became the closest of friends. How close? Not “too” close since they don’t share an apartment, but close enough.

Many assume that Clazziquai is just a three member group, and that is what the media also usually portrays them as, but of course, assuming makes an “ass out of you and me” because that’s dead wrong. From my personal experience, I do recall Alex on “Star Golden Bell” clarifying that there are four members, but apparently no one ever took notice of that fact.

On camera, there are only three people on stage, but off camera and in the recording studios, member number four, Christina, shines. Alex explained that their mysterious extra vocalist Christina is actually his sister. It’s a nice notion for them to include her in their member roster, even though she is officially only a behind the scenes member.

You can catch more informational tidbits on tvN’s “Taxi” on September 24th.

For adopting an adorable Korean baby girl!

Although this isn’t exactly related to KPOP, it’s still relevant as pop culture in Korea.

Katherine Heigl, U.S. cinematic gold at the moment, has surprised both Korean and American audiences by revealing pictures of her and her singer husband Josh Kelley’s newly adopted baby: Nancy Leigh or ”Naleigh” as they like to call her. Naleigh is also a special needs child, although it is not quite clear to the media what exactly her special needs are yet.

Heigl explained that she had always been anticipating the adoption of a Korean baby, seeing as her sister, Meg, is a Korean adoptee herself. Her husband was understanding and, from the looks of the pictures, more than willing to adopt the child. Congrats to the new parents of Naleigh! I wonder if this little Korean-American will break out into American show biz when she grows up. It’s always nice to see couples open their hearts to adoption.

Who doesn’t melt when seeing those man-doo cheeks on babies?

Yup, we get to properly hear So-hee speaking English…finally~Through their official youtube channel, the Wondergirls have been letting their fans get to know them a bit better through a casual English interview. I have to say these are a good set of questions. Nothing too probing, but you get some insight into their personal preferences.

Are their American personalities interesting enough to hold the attention of potential U.S. fanboys? Check out the video introductions for yourself here~

In order of release:

Sun-ye, for some reason, still has a very thick accent, which at times is kind of distracting, but it’s all right. 

I really surprised at how eloquent Sun-mi is. It’s a shame she doesn’t speak more during English interviews.

Ye-eun has picked up English like nothing. She just continues to improve.

Yoo-bin was the most easygoing character during her interview, which makes her the most enjoyable to watch.

So-hee also amazes me with her English skills. She must have the gift of gab behind the scenes because she is just damn quiet in public. Her interview was the shortest, but she answered her questions the quickest.

Sorry no major idols here.

In a survey conducted from July 10th to the 16th, Koreans were asked to name the movie actor or actress that they would want to have a summer getaway with. The winners were Ha Jung-woo and Ha Ji-won!

Ha Jung-woo stars in the summer sports Olympic flick, “Ski Jump“ (국가대표), about the plight of the Korean national ski jump team. It released in South Korea on July 29th on the big screen.

Ha Ji-won stars in a different kind of summer flick, the blockbuster action-disaster movie, “Haeundae” (해운대). It was released July 22, 2009 and is currently playing in theaters in South Korea.

Popular soju ad queen, Shin Mina, came in second place. The battle between the two leading ladies will continue with the release of “A Million” (10억) in August. Perhaps the ratings would have been different if the premiere of “A Million” had been closer to the time of the survey.

The list of actors and actress chosen are all stars of this summer’s releases, which include monster/horror flicks, “Chaw“ (차우) and “Living Death“ (불신지옥), and the romantic melodrama “Five Senses of Eros” (오감도).

Anyway, here are the rest of the rankings from the survey!

Actors:
1. Ha Jung-woo (Ski Jump) 34.1%
2. Lee Chun-hee (A Million) 18.3%
3. Uhm Tae-woong (Chaw) 9.1%
4. Lee Min-ki (Haeundae, A Million) 6.5%
5. Park Hae-il (A Million) 6.3%

Actresses:
1. Ha Ji-won (Haeundae) 46.8%
2. Shin Mina (A Million) 17.5%
3. Nam Sung-mi (Living Death) 13.1%
4. Uhm Jung-hwa (Haeundae, Five Sense of Eros) 10.8%
5. Jung Yoo-mi (Haeundae, Chaw) 3.2%
6. Go Eun-ah (A Million) 3.1%
7. Lee Eun-sung (Ski Jump) 2.7%

Who would you personally like to take on a vacation getaway?

Ever wonder why we don’t hear anything about Hyun Bin in the rumor mill? Well, the actor would rather just keep his mouth shut about his personal life.

In a recent interview with Star News, Hyun Bin stated that he doesn’t disclose any personal information about girlfriends, family or anything else dear to his heart. The secretive actor prefers that his fans don’t cross over to his personal life. Being secretive a la Keanu Reeves will only feed speculation. For example, if he is so tight lipped, we can only assume that he is hiding a girlfriend or even gay (not that it matters)….. but that’s how rumors start.

So is it better for stars to be open about their personal lives or secretive like Hyun Bin?

Nothing like reaching the masses through a chick magazine.
First, our pint-sized diva was interviewed for Entertainment Weekely, and now she’s moving on up to a media outlet that reaches a large majority of young female readers, “CosmoGirl!“. She was only asked five general questions, but that just means you won’t have to strain your eyes to read a long interview about nothing.

Here is the CosmoGirl! interview. Learn anything new?

WHAT’S IT LIKE BEING A POP STAR/FAMOUS IN KOREA?

“Well, I definitely feel a difference when I’m here in the States and when I’m back home. It’s a difficult lifestyle and a lot more guarded. That’s why it’s cool to be in L.A. and walk around wherever I want.”

HOW DO YOU LIKE THE UNITED STATES SO FAR?

“Well so far I still haven’t been all over America but I’ve gone to several cities since I moved here for radio promos. I live in L.A. and I kind of enjoy it. But I have to say that I really, really love New York City. Because it feels like my home.”

WHAT AMERICAN ARTISTS OR MUSICIANS DO YOU ASPIRE TO BE LIKE OR LOOK UP TO?

“There’s so many great artists out there like Kanye, T-Pain, Lady Gaga. So I used to really, really love Michael Jackson so my dance moves came from his moves. But these days I’m more focused on pop. To learn more about the American music industry.”

WHAT IS THE BEST RELATIONSHIP ADVICE YOU’VE EVER GOTTEN?

“Be honest. Honesty is the most important part in a relationship because it builds trust, which is just as essential.”

WHO IS YOUR CELEBRITY CRUSH?

“The actor from The Hangover. Also in He’s Just Not That into You. Bradley Cooper! I just Googled it!”

“World stars” Rain and top figure skater Kim Yuna both command upwards of over 1 billion won (800 thousand USD) per CF in Korea, topping off as the highest paid commercial actors.

Second in line are Ko Hyun-jung, Lee Young-ae, Kim Tae-hee, Song Hye-kyo and Big Bang who receive anywhere from 800 to 900 million won (650 to 750 thousand USD) per CF. And finally, rounding out the top 3 groups, Han Yeh-seul, Yoon Eun-hye and Jo In-sung earn a respectable 600 to 700 million (450 to 550 thousand USD).

With these celebrities endorsing multiple brands, there isn’t much room for anyone else.

Despite their debut early this summer (and young age), 2NE1 are living in high style.

Surrounded by sleek black leather sofas, big flat screen tv and hard wood floors, the girls showed off their luxury apartment on the July 15^th episode of the Mnet program, 2NE1TV. How do we know? Well, apartments with scenic views of the Han River are worth a pretty penny. The 30-40 pyeong highrise apartment is probably located on the south side of Seoul-one of the richest and flashy areas.

Generally the apartments of idol groups are more humble and no frills.

I know I do.

For those of you who don’t fully comprehend the Korean language but are just craving some 2NE1 exposure, Royal Ace Subs has got you covered. Rather than just constantly putting up 2NE1 related videos marked with their magic touch, we’ll just give you the one-stop source and you can handle it yourself…right?

Fine all right, we’ll show you one this time, but next time you’re going to have to learn yourself, buster. Of course in the future, if I feel like you must see something from their collection and I can’t rely on you to do it yourself, I might just do you that favor.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes special of 2NE1’s most recent photo shoot for their first mini-album to be released on July 8th. Watch Bom bribe her members into thinking she’s the nicest, Dara wish she was the maknae of the group, Minji remind us she is too young for you, and CL adore her Ji-young oppa.

Do you care?

Yoon Eun-hye confessed that her ideal man is someone who is basically nice. How boring.

Her ideal man was revealed on a KBS celebrity show on June 20th.  However, the Coffee Prince actress added that when she was younger, she was attracted to good looking “bad boys.”

So what does this mean? Now that she’s hitting her 30’s  she wants to settle down with a rich but plain business-man type who is from abroad (i.e. Kyopo) or has studied abroad (i.e. rich enough to go to school in the U.S.).

Ah, Daniel must be out of the picture.
