End of the Era: Girls' Generation ft. Taeyeon & Baekhyun


Girls' Generation has gotten themselves into a whole bunch of dating rumors this year however, this one gave them their biggest blow yet. Despite all the little 'ranters' guessing that Jessica or Yuri will be the next one in Girls' Generation to come out with dating news, it was actually Girls' Generation's leader, Taeyeon, who we all thought would, if she did end up to be dating, come out with it gracefully... as she is the leader, after all. But alas! She did not! And as we all probably should know by now, her relationship with EXO-K boy, Baekhyun, gave both groups a painful blow, fans feeling betrayed (as usual) but also the general public being sickened by the lovebirds' actions, similar to INFINITE's Myungsoo casual but painful use of Twitter to communicate with his then girlfriend. Regardless, both groups are popular however, Taeyeon's group has been around for nearly a decade when Baekhyun's has been for only around three years yet with both sides getting the hate, I want to decode the reasons why people are viewing this one differently than the other Girls' Generation dating scandals.


1. This scandal busted Taeyeon's act

Remember the post I did a few months ago about how I was scared for Taeyeon's well being? She seemed like she was about to crack at any moment! On all kinds of Girls' Generation appearances, Taeyeon did not seem like her usual idol self... which is seemingly nothing different than the rest of Girls' Generation's recent behaviors as they are now starting to realize that no matter what they do, they have a group of fans who will be with them (read the article about how idols should not treat fans like crap for some reference) therefore, different from back in their debut days, they now give bored, gloomy and tiredsome faces. However, Taeyeon's was different, as she constantly complained about loneliness, making people sympathize the fact that idols were not supposed to date. But, just like Sooyoung how literally the day before her own dating news came out, she complained about how she was lonely in response to YoonA's dating news, fans felt kind of betrayed that they were fooled into thinking that she did not have a significant other and that she was getting depressed because she did not have a significant other. I mean, I actually feel a bit betrayed, too, because I usually don't even show empathy but I did for Taeyeon's case and I'm not even a Taeyeon fan! 


2. Taeyeon acted immaturely being the fact that she is the senior & Baekhyun betrayed his already betrayed group

Despite the first one being my own sentiments, this one seems to be more of the general public's feels as they believe that Taeyeon should have acted more 'maturely' for her age being that she's ten years into the music business while he's barely even touching his second. She should have taken into account that EXO is just rising in popularity and that they are still in the midst of a scandal in which people were sympathizing Baehyun for. ¿¡Why would Baekhyun, during the midst of the Krisis (Kris vs. SM Entertainment scandal), even think about doing stuff that is remotely human?! Why would Baekhyun go out and do the naughty with Taeyeon when he should be remorseful in his dorm as the public is sympathizing him and his other ten group mates and should take advantage of the situation to get more popularity and fans (this one is actually a serious question)? And why the hell make it so. damn. obvious? Taeyeon should have acted different instead of making it so obvious, different from the other girls, being that she's the leader and should be the most responsible. Taeyeon should have realized that Baekhyun's group is in a situation right now that should not have scandals towards the remaining members of the group and realize that Baekhyun is a rising star. Baekhyun should have realized that the lie about being '35 years old before dating' really hurt gullible fans being that he was the first in EXO to have such a scandal. No one was really expecting him to wait till 35 but he was the first so it put a bigger blow.


3. They messed with their fans

Taking this all from Netizenbuzz, long story short, fans feel betrayed. Instagram, by Taeyeon's definition, was a way to communicate with fans. But instead, she fooled fans and communicated with Baekhyun in numerous posts as did Baekhyun. Fans dug out a lot of places where they communicated/made their relationship obvious (summarized from the same Netizenbuzz article. The astericked ones are ones that I'm somewhat iffy about correlating to dating):

a) Baekhyun and Taeyeon's similar Instagram IDs. 
Baekhyun had put on his Instagram, ExO, not EXO like the others. Why? E and O in English look like the first letters of the first syllables of Taeyeon's name ㅌ and ㅇ in Korean. Because he naughty, naughty.


"I like you. Can I like you?"

b) Taeyeon's ruthless post about liking Baekhyun/being in a relationship with him.
She put that fugly doll in the picture as a distraction/excuse. She's asking if she can like him because she realizes they're both celebrities and this going to the public can ruin them both.

c) The trip for my dreams, Pikachu!
Long story short, after Kris left the group, fans made the slogan 'This is the beginning' to give the guys strength. He put the picture on Instagram of the slogan as well as, as translated by the same Netizenbuzz article, 'This is the beginning! For my dream! The trip for my dreams! Pikachu! This is the beginning!'. Fans were gullible into thinking this was starting a new and the guys found strength but in actuality, before, Taeyeon wrote 'This is my beginning now for my dream~ The trip for my dreams pikachu'. aka they dun fucked

d) Baekhyun posted 'Euri'. 
Taeyeon later posted 'Very eurieurie shikye drink! Euri #Euri'. If you don't know, Euri doesn't mean shit in Korean but it must be an inside joke for the two.


You're eating sugary snacks?! You're betraying us!
e) Taeng kyung very mang ching*
Okay, I don't really understand this one that much/correlate it with the scandal. Taeyeon received a special made Starbucks cup from her fans. For saying thanks, she said 'Taeng kyung very mang ching'. Everyone is blowing shit up since Taenggo is her nickname for fans and Baekyung is his therefore, she must be making a couple name.

f) The famous oreos*
Taeyeon posted, a day before the news, oreos. Baek means black and Hyun means white in Korean. Oreos for Baekhyun, by fans point of view... or maybe Taeyeon was just hungry for oreos.

g) Birthday se--flowers
On Baekhyun's birthday, Taeyeon posted birthday flowers as well as a heart.

h) They went to see Seohyun's musical.
Suho saw Seohyun's musical the day before, but apparently being that Taeyeon was going, Suho went again the next day with Taeyeon in clutch.

i) Taeyeon posted a picture of light.*
Taeyeon posted a picture of light when she went to the beauty salon on Instagram. We all know Baekhyun's power in EXO is light. MUST BE A CODE FOR BAEK DICK.

j) Kyahing
Kyahing means nothing, just a cute thing for Taeyeon to say to fans. However, Baekhyun was seen using Kyahing when talking to his fans on EXO's 2 year anniversary.


Though there are other more subtle reasons (fans just mad cause they're dating), these seem to be the most prominent. People are getting testy with the Taeyon and Baekhyun kissing picture (apparently, Hyori mentioned that when pictures go out to the public and the company admits to the dating, that means there are pictures far worse than revealed to the public. This has to be one of the most 'sexual' images for a idol dater to reveal... a kissing image... therefore, if they are kissing in a car and if Hyori's claim is true, who knows what more they could have done in that hot and steamy Benz?), people are feeling betrayed just because they don't like idols dating... all in all, a bunch of negativity for the two, people were also getting mad because with all the dating controversy in Girls' Generation, they felt like Taeyeon was the last source of singleness that they had left (since apparently, they don't want Seohyun, Yuri, Sunny or Jessica). And although I would be happy and all for the two dating, there's something inside me that actually understands were the betrayed people are coming from (probably because I feel a bit betrayed, too).


Likewise, I just want to bring light on my old articles that I wrote when Tiffany's dating scandal was revealed, asking if Girls' Generation is on decline as well as my hypothesis for Girls' Generation's future and how long it would take for them to disband/who would still be famous post-disbandment. Now that this scandal broke out what do you think? Is Girls' Generation on decline and how long do they have left? Comment below and don't forget to vote!

Web-Surfing: Hyoyeon is dating?


snsd_yoona_gee
On the MBC Japanese documentary in which Sooyoung fumbled over her words and created controversy by saying she wanted to be called an "artist" not an "idol", yet another scandal was  revealed about the girl group, Girls' Generation, however, this time, dealing with the Dancing Queen, Hyoyeon and her love life.
At the 5:09 mark of the video below, it can be clearly heard from Hyoyeon's cell phone a tune from the Korean 'Between' app, and if one isn't aware of what the Between app even has to do with Hyoyeon and dating, here's a small, brief hint:
The Between app is basically an app where couples can privately chat.




20130331_seoulbeats_SNSD
Who's the lucky man one might ask? Well, according to netizenbuzz, It's none other than the only-thought-to-be-in-K-Dramas-and-fairytales man Kim Jun Hyung, who's around 33 in American age, graduated from the University of Massachusetts summa cum laude, received 11 scholarships, interned at Dana-Farver/Harvard Medical Center, oversees all types of media and has traveled to over 50 countries in just a year while suffering from a life-threatening accident while being skilled in sports that I cannot even dream of even attempting.
Before I can even say anything about this (being that the man seems like the fucking reincarnation of Buddha, Oprah, Michael Jackson and everything else that shits on my utter existence) I'm just going to say, if this relationship is true and if that guy is actually that great, I'm extremely happy that Hyoyeon found that guy.
She's been through hell being that she's arguably the most talented in SNSD, but was pushed to the side and has always been one of the most famous members just because of her face (though her body is amazing). And seeing that she got a guy like this, she definitely came out a winner.

EXO Dating Sim Game... this can't be good


I was on my tumblr today and EXO this shit popped up on my dashboard.


I was confused at first, not knowing if this was actually legit or not but I took the liberty to download it and was flabbergasted. I spent probably 2 seconds on that thing before closing it down.
It was the epitome of madness.
A creation of a crazy EXOtic.
Which doesn't surprise me being that it's an EXOtic.
Check it out and see what you think about it.

Web-Surfing: Zico and Hwayoung Dating



When first hearing the exciting news, I stared at my computer screen in shock. Not because of the new, shocking couple being just recently announced to the public, but more so because 1, I haven't heard of Hwayoung in what seems like a good while and this seems to be more of teaser if one wants to call it of Hwayoung getting back into the minds of K-Pop fans and 2, because Zico and Hwayoung don't even seem to match each other other than the fact that their ages are nearly identical.

In all honesty, this pairing consists of the two people in which I would least expect to even have some sort of relation with each other whether it was for love or just a simple friendship and it seems strange that these two had gotten together and released it publicly without even a trace of evidence that these two were actually together. In fact, neither of their companies and/or close friends or family released this and instead a supposed employee from Stardom Entertainment, the company who denied the alleged rumors when asked by allkpop previous to this scandal being public, who wished to remain anonymous released it without even a picture or a conversation between the two for proof that these two are actually a true couple and not just another dating rumor that allkpop spread parallel to the L.Joe dating rumor. 
I'm can only predict that in merely hours, Stardom Entertainment will release a statement on this rumor saying it's not true... or maybe, shock me again and say it is.

Web-Surfing: Teen Top's L.Joe rumored to dating by Allkpop?


Lately in the entertainment world, there have been rumors afloat about TEEN TOP‘s L.Joe being involved in a relationship.
The photo above has been spreading fast and the origin of the photo is speculated to be from a popular messaging service ‘Kakao Talk’.
For those of you curious, the woman in the photo is rumored to be actress Nam Bora.
We’ll try to keep you updated on whether this rumor pans out or not. Meanwhile, what do you think? Could this be a legitimate relationship? Sound off in the comments below. cr.allkpop

________________________________________________

The recently posted allkpop article made clear that there is a new rumor going around the k-pop world. This time, including Teen Top's L.Joe (18) and supposedly ONE actress by the name of Nam Bora.
Obviously, this rumor isn't true, even passed the blurred photos you can easily tell that those 2 women, though appearing similar are different, and the supposed ONE mistress turns into two women where one is the famous yet old (30) Kan Mi Yeon. 
I'll give allkpop one thing, this is one of their few articles in which the English makes sense, however, this article is so false, I wonder why they decided to post THIS instead of the numerous tips that were actually worthy of the world to see and speculate upon. This RUMOR is nothing but a rumor in which they all met for just their summer special album.
So for all Teen Top fans or "Angels" who bias L.Joe, this was not a 3-some. It was yet another fail of an article for allkpop which is sadly nothing new.
