It was hard to wrap my head around everything that happened this past week, as various controversies blew up on social media, the departure (both permanent and temporary) of idols and even more news of dating! If you want the details scroll below to be updated on everything that's happened in the short span of a week.
Actors Kim Woo Bin and Shin Min Ah's dating rumors were confirmed to be true! As any Kim Woo Bin fangirl would attest, it was likely the actor's gentlemanly charms that caught Shin Min Ah's attention, leading to the two seeing each other.
The two certainly make for a good-looking couple. Congratulations to the two!
Wonderfuls tried to remain hopeful for the eventual reunion of all of the Wonder Girls members, including Sun and Sohee. However, those hopes were dashed after both officially withdrew from the Wonder Girls. That doesn't mean that they've completely forgotten about their former fellow members, however, as the two both wrote heartfelt letters to their fans asking them to respect the members' paths and choices.
Meanwhile, it seems the remaining Wonder Girls members Sunmi, Lim, Yubin, and Yenny are prepping for the group's comeback as was originally planned. It sure is strange and sad to picture Wonder Girls without Sohee and Sun. Even without the two I'm sure Wonder Girls will carry on the group's legacy as one of the biggest acts in K-Pop and make a potent comeback.
Taeyeon has been the victim of malicious comments for quite a while now and the singer had simply brushed all the hate off her shoulders...that is, until recently, when she decided to take action against the people who furiously type away at the keyboard, verbally haranguing her without any regard to how their words may affect the singer and her loved ones. Subsequent Taeyeon's announcement of legal action, her social media accounts were flooded with apologies from contrite netizens attempting to reconcile with the embittered singer. However, their belated apologies are one step too late, as Taeyeon doesn't seem to be showing any signs of backing down.
Taeyeon even turned to SONES for help in indicting all her haters, which they gladly obliged. One dedicated fan even took the time to gather over 2,000 e-mails that showed netizens' malicious comments against Taeyeon, which she plans to use as proof in court.
Much to the dismay of EXO-L's it doesn't seem like Tao and Luhan plan to leave their motherland anytime soon. In fact, it looks like the two have settled quite comfortably in China, what with Tao promoting as Z.Tao and Luhan said to be working on his solo album. Tao started by bombarding us with mysterious updates on his solo debut and finally released his solo mini album and the full MV for his debut track, "T.A.O."
No matter how much negative feedback the public may be throwing their way, the two former EXO members are showing no signs of halting their solo activities. Tao even uploaded a happy post on his Weibo account, clearly glad to be promoting as a solo artist in China. With a selca showing himself smiling triumphantly at the camera, the singer wrote, "My dream has finally been realized. I thank all of the people who have helped me. I'm really, really happy.. This moment. From hereon, let's wait for the 23 and check."
However, not everyone is sharing in Tao's joy, especially not EXO-L's whom Chanyeol consoled on his Instagram account. He wrote, ""You're having a difficult time, and feeling really angry and frustrated, right? We will hug you and we will comfort you. So trust us, and let's just always try to see only the good things and say only good things. From now on, you remember what I said? I'll make sure that you will be able to love with your heart at ease."
Our dear TVXQ's Yunho, who is near and dear to our hearts, recently enlisted in the army, not to be active until his return two years later. Yunho doesn't seem to be the type to be bad at farewells; in fact, he made sure to say goodbye to everyone including his friends, family, and fans! His last moments with fellow SM label mates and other celeb friends were shared on social media, and it's clear that Yunho will be sorely missed by everyone. None will miss him more than his fans however, and Yunho probably knew this, as he prepared a sincere goodbye letter specially for his fans, which you can read for yourself here.
A-list actress Jun Ji Hyun was revealed to be ten weeks pregnant with her first child, after three years of marriage to her husband Choi Joon Hyuk! Jun Ji Hyun had kept news of her pregnancy on the low because she didn't want to trouble others with the news during her promotions for her new movie, "Assassination." Now the actress has come clean about this joyful news with her agency thanking everyone for their continued interest.
I'm sure the baby will inherit Jun Ji Hyun's natural beauty and graces!
So Taylor Swift was accused recently of copying 2NE1's "Come Back Home" MV which had both 'Swifties' and 'Blackjacks' go up in arms. The whole issue was born between the "feud" between Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift and initially, 2NE1 was nowhere to be found in the midst. But that all changed when one 2NE1 fan accused Swift's "Bad Blood" MV of being too similar to the "Come Back Home" MV. The whole internet went berserk and the director of the MV, Joseph Kahn, had some bad blood with a writer. The director was particularly angry at a jezebel writer for accusing him of copying 2NE1 because of his "Korean roots."
If I were in Kahn's shoes, I'd probably be pissed too if someone undermined my artwork and accused me of stealing someone's idea based on reasons that are taken wholly out of context. However, there are also these things called class and tact, and Kahn displayed neither in his angry, wrathful tweets directed at the writer of the article and K-Pop fans.
