The Super Junior leader Leeteuk (27) confessed a tragic love story on SBS variety program “Strong Heart.” He would have gotten married if she didn’t two-time him.

For Leeteuk, he had his first and only “love at first sight” moment about 3 years ago. This girl must’ve been stunning.

He was ready to leave entertainment and marry her before even dating her. Little by little, the girl also began have feelings in return.

But, after dating (in public!), Leeteuk found that she had “yang-dari,” meaning the girl was dating someone else at the same time. Get this, it was another celebrity — a celebrity that Leeteuk knew.

After that, Leeteuk was heart-broken and fell into a 6-month slump… Does that mean that he dated someone else after 6 months?!

Though Leeteuk expressed his gratitude that the girl allowed him to experience love at first sight, and ended by saying, “I would like you to be happy.” Seems like Leeteuk got two-timed by the type of girl that dates around with celebrities.

If Leeteuk would have married this girl and left the business, I know a whole bunch of angry ELFs that would have destroyed that girl’s Cyworld mini-homepage.

Check out the clip from the show!

…or lack of it.

Usually, we’ll go gaga when a male Korean celeb poses sans shirt but we’ll take a rain check on this one. Button up!

Our flower boy, aka Kim Heechul of Super Junior, who’s currently starring in an SBS drama ‘I love you a thousand times’ apparently, lost 8kg in two weeks by just eating tofu. We think you really need those 8kg Hee-nim. There’s a reason why they make you wear all those necklaces, to cover up your protruding ribs. Seriously, which overweight ajusshi asked you to lose all those precious 8kg? Oh child, looks like mama needs to cook you some deep fried chicken and a huge pot of kimchi stew.

Super Junior aren’t the only ones upset over this “loser” thing.

When Honggik University student, Lee Do-kyoung, announced on KBS 2TV’s “Chat with Global Beauties” that men shorter than 180cm are “losers,” Super Junior’s Shindong, Leeteuk, and Eunhyuk took the heat quite well. Though disappointed, they didn’t show anger.

Surprisingly, not from Antis, but from the male constituent, “losers” decided they need to unite under this oppression of height discrimination!

So far, there have been an astounding 78 cases filed through the Press Arbitration Commission against KBS for damages resulting from the “loser” comment. The cases are asking for compensation, ranging from 100,000 won (US$87) to an astounding 3.82 billion won (US$3.3 million).

Even though the production team for “Chat with Global Beauties” has already been changed, and KBS released another public apology on November 16, this issue doesn’t seem like it will die anytime soon.

Do you think the “losers” can win this one?

And, in case you missed the episode:

A hot topic in Korea these days is the use of a simple word “loser.”

On KBS 2TV’s “Chat with Global Beauties,” the program invited female college students to have a nice chat with the beauties. In one segment, there was an anonymous vote taken for a series of questions. One question was, “Would you date someone shorter than you?”

Of course, a few of the girls said, “no,” so one student, Lee Do-kyoung, spoke up, but her reason was, “Short men are losers.” Say what?! She even used the English word, “loser.” She then explained that the men have to be taller than 180cm. Maybe the meaning of the word got lost in translation for her, but many viewers took it that she meant that short men are inferior people.

There was a huge backlash by netizens and the media. Many saying that she wasn’t pretty enough to talk about others that way (so, pretty people can put down others?). She put an apology on her Cyworld, but in that apology, she spelled loser as “luser.” Uh-oh. After more internet abuse, Lee Do-kyoung soon closed her Cyworld homepage.

“Loser” has become a bit of a catch-phrase in the wake of the netizen uproar. So far, it’s been developed into a T-shirt! Not a bad design. (I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these!)

If anything, I feel sorry for Super Junior’s Leeteuk and Eunhyuk, who are both celebrity guests on the show that day. Leeteuk is 178cm, and Eunhyuk is 176cm tall. Poor guys, getting dissed on TV like that.

Holy colors Batman!

As if SM Entertainment darlings Super Junior and Girls Generation weren’t cute enough, both groups are set to endorse the newly launched clothing brand SPAO. Though a full catalog has yet to be released, eager fans have gotten a hold of a few promo shots and by the looks of things, colorful fall/winter gear with a touch of All-American prep seems to be the theme.

For the girls, that means that brightly winter staples (like down jackets and tights) are the ticket. As for the boys, brightly-colored hoodies and accessories are a go.

And if neon yellow tights aren’t your thing, it looks like the rugby shirt is making a comeback. Why not give the prep look a try…though I highly suggest you skip the helmet. That may be a look that only Si-won can pull off.

What a name for a movie.

Of course in Korean, the title of the movie is “Chungdam Fortuneteller,” but that just sounds boring like tofu.

The VIP screening for the romantic comedy, “Sexy Bosal” brought out some familar faces: Lee Hyori (above) Kim Jong-gook, Lee Chun-hee, Tiffany and Suyoung, Marco, Park Jung-a and more.

Directed by Kim Jin-young, “Sexy Bosal” stars Lim Chang-jung and Park Yeh-jin. The film will open on November 11th.

Kim Hee-chul, the effeminate member of 13 member boy group, Super Junior, announced on his Cyworld Minihompy that he wants troublemaker, Kangin out of the group. The news came as a shock to Super Junior fans since both boys are considered as close.

Hee-chul’s sentiments are also reflected by netizens who want Kangin kicked out of the group. Anti-Kangin forums are popping up on Agora, Daum.net’s infamous forum site. Also at the same time, fans are gathering on Agora to “save Kangin.”

However, with Kangin’s slide into the criminal side with a DUI, hit-and-run and assault all within the last 2 months, shouldn’t he just bow out and live a quiet normal life?

What do you think?

Nope, you are not seeing a repeat post (although Kangin is wearing the same white hoodie)

After getting caught in a fist fight in September, you would think the guy would learn…

Super Junior’s Kangin was involved in a hit-and-run on October 16^th. And no, it’s not what you think. The 24 year old was under the influence of alcohol when he drove his foreign car along the roads of Kangnam at 3am and crashed into a parked taxi. After the crash, he jumped out of the car and ran into the alley way.

Kangin turned himself in to the police at 8:50am. Obviously the drunkard was thinking about what to do.

Since, the Super Junior member turned himself in late, was drunk and committed a hit-and-run, the penalty should be high. We hope so, because drinking and driving is a definite no-no.

Also, you would think that this guy would have heard of a “dae-ri woon-jeon”? (hired driver). For the cost of a drink or two, you can hire someone to drive you home.

We hope that this time, he has learned his lesson.

The taxi driver and 2 passengers were not seriously injured.

The biggest concert of the year, the 2009 Dream Concert packed in idol fans into the World Cup Stadium on October 10th. The 3.5 hour concert featured 17 of your favorite pop acts: Girls Generation, KARA, Jewelry, f(x), 2NE1, 4Minute, Tiara & Supernova, Super Junior, Big Bang, 2PM, 2AM, MC Mong, Park Hyo-shin, Kim Tae-woo, Chae-yeon, SHINee and Wheesung.

And since the weather is turning cooler, the pop acts have followed suit by turning to black fashions to blend into the equally darkened stage. With all the black, how are we supposed to  tell who is who?  

2AM blend in the background.

2NE1 “Don’t care” about their fashion, but at least we can identify who they are since they do not blend in the background.

2PM perform “Again and Again” minus leader Jae-bum. Do you think Jae-bum is watching the show wishing he was with them? Probably.

4Minute do their hit “Muzik” and share wardrobe ideas with 2PM and Super Junior M.

Big Bang welcomes back Daesung after his accident.

f(x) performed their new song, “Chocolate Love”.

G-Dragon does not break hearts in head-to-toe black with his hit, “Heartbreaker”. What happened to his gender-bender fashions? This is no fun.

Jewelry always smoking.

KARA do the booty shaking for “Mister”.

MC Mong & Kim Tae-woo. The ex-G.O.D member Kim Tae-woo has an easy listening hit with “I love you oh thank you”

Park Hyo-shin and Whee-sung combine voices for a special stage performance of “Heal the World”.

SHINee woos the nunas with “Juliette”.

Super Junior M introduces “Super Girl” to Korea.

Girls Generation perform their leg exercises with hit “Genie”.

Tiara and Supernova join forces as the 12 member super group, “TTL Listen 2“.

Will Dream Concert ever be pleasant?

It’s official. The three most popular male groups (Excluding Dong-Bang-Shin-Ki) will each perform at this year’s Dream Concert, live October 10th, minus one member. How coincidental.

Big Bang’s lead vocalist, Dae-sung, is still recovering from the infamous August car crash. Though he has successfully undergone operation, re-joined the Family Outing team for a filming of “2Days 1Night,” and seems to be doing quite well, he will not be joining his fellow Big Bang members for their first Dream Concert performance. How unfortunate.

Most famously, or infamously, group 2PM’s former leader Jaebum will be absent from the concert, where the remaining members will make their first official performance as a group of six. In a shocking twist of events, the Dream Concert production team revealed today that the group will perform “Again & Again” and “I Hate You,” but they will not be aired for broadcast. Basically, if you want to see 2PM perform at Dream Concert 2009, you have to be in the audience; it won’t be shown on TV.

Lastly, Kangin, one of Super Junior’s main faces, will reportedly be absent from this year’s performance as well. After the September assault case where he was reportedly an aggressor, it’s no surprise that Kangin is taking a break from the public eye. Hopefully this scandal doesn’t get him kicked out.

What do you make of the many controversies surrounding the top male groups of today?

UPDATE: One day before their performance, it’s officially been decided that Dae-sung will perform with Big Bang for Dream Concert 2009. Way to be prepared guys!

The results are out!

After analyzing the CCTV video, the Kangnam police has issued a statement on September 21^st that Kangin was indeed involved in the assault case on September 16th. The cameras don’t lie.

To be fair, a police representative added that the other person involved in the assault continued to aggravate the situation by trying to pick a fight with the Super Junior member. And eventually, Kangin crumbled to the pressure and put up his fists to fight back.

In all, 7 persons were involved. And as to what action the police will take next? Probably nothing.

Super Junior member, Kangin’s management may have denied that their idol star was involved in a bar fight, but police have secured the CCTV survelliance tape that may prove otherwise.  The Kangnam police released a statement to Korean online news site, “Money Today”, that a day or two will be required to confirm Kangin’s involvement.

With surveillance cameras on almost every street corner in Seoul, Kangin should have just told the truth.
