Noona Says: SM, YG, and JYP Walk Into a Bar…

….SM immediately gets the best plastic surgeons in Korea to get a completely new face, YG also gets his nose fixed but prevents the news from writing about it, and JYP has a broken nose but he’s just glad to be included in the Big 3. *badum tsss* That’s a joke! That’s a joke that you may or… Continue reading Noona Says: SM, YG, and JYP Walk Into a Bar…

Noona Says: Everyone Lies, Especially YG

After expressing my disappointment in SM Entertainment, I thought it would only be fair to dedicate an editorial on K-Pop’s other big agency, YG Entertainment. After all, YG artists have contributed quite a bit to this year’s line-up of scandal and controversy. Although I had been a public SM stan, I also harbored a secret love… Continue reading Noona Says: Everyone Lies, Especially YG

Noona Says: Everyone Lies, Even Your Bias

I’m starting to suspect that the Korean entertainment media likes to release a scandal a week, to keep circulation going. One day there will be a quiet week when I can write about silly nonsense, but this is not that week. This week, Jessica is no longer a member of Girls’ Generation. There have been rumors of… Continue reading Noona Says: Everyone Lies, Even Your Bias

Noona Says: I Don’t Know What’s Going on with ZE:A and Junyoung Either

It was all really confusing and there were just so many things being said. The best I can do is break down what happened (or what was reported): Moon Junyoung (also known as Lee Hoo) wrote a series of long tweets expressing his grievances against his company and CEO Shin Joo Hak. He revealed some… Continue reading Noona Says: I Don’t Know What’s Going on with ZE:A and Junyoung Either

Interview: Meet Johnnyphlo, the Rapper/Producer Who Discovered Ailee

As an old school Soompier, I love meeting other people who had Soompi Forums play a big part of their adolescence. What’s better is when I find out that someone I have heard of was an OG Soompier. That is how I got connected with Johnnyphlo, an independent musician/producer. I had heard the name “Johnnyphlo” more… Continue reading Interview: Meet Johnnyphlo, the Rapper/Producer Who Discovered Ailee

Noona Says: Reflection on the “So Wonderful” Ladies’ Code

This is a sad week to start my editorial series on K-Pop. As the resident Soompi Noona, I had planned for months now to start a (hopefully) regular series with lots of Noona thoughts on Korean entertainment. I waited patiently until I felt like the circumstances were ready for me to speak out on what… Continue reading Noona Says: Reflection on the “So Wonderful” Ladies’ Code

Quiz: Which f(x) Song Should You Listen to?

It’s hard being an f(x) fan these days (your fandom doesn’t even have an official name), particular in light of the news that “Red Light” promotions have been cancelled and Sulli is on an indefinite break. K-Pop fans hardly had a chance to get used the unusual style of “Red Light” before f(x) had already… Continue reading Quiz: Which f(x) Song Should You Listen to?

K-Celeb Double Dates That Need to Happen

From A-List actors to popular idols, Korean celebrities have been either announcing their relationships or being photographed on not-so-discreet dates on an almost monthly basis. It’s happening so often, that it’s not as interesting. Korean celebrity dating isn’t cool, you know what’s cool? Korean celebrity double dating.  That’s right. This needs to be the future… Continue reading K-Celeb Double Dates That Need to Happen

2BIC Does the Best R&B Covers (Including “Eyes, Nose, Lips” and “Growl”), Hands Down

Aside from world peace and puppies for everyone, my dearest wish is that everyone in Soompi join Noona in the 2Bic fandom.  Who is 2Bic? 2Bic is an R&B duo with slick, slick, slick vocals from Nextar Entertainment. Ji Hwan is the one with the Harry Potter glasses and Jun Hyung is the one that… Continue reading 2BIC Does the Best R&B Covers (Including “Eyes, Nose, Lips” and “Growl”), Hands Down
