idk, I just always kinda thought it would be an SNSD song or something that went viral and got huge, but it ended up being a middle-aged(?), kinda fat dude with a funny voice.

Both are garbage speculation based off some extrapolation of shit you hear/suspect from the industry. If I find the other one I'll post it here. Second, that shit with the Canadian lady Kwon Mi Yeon was kind of true. All the PR maneuvering bullshit aside, it's true that he dated her and it's true that they broke up after LBH moved back to Korea after his filming was done. From there, the stories and people's opinion of the entire thing splits: A. she's (Kwon Mi Yeon) a moneygrabber B. LBH is a jerk for paying her off C. Kang Byung-kyu was the real victim and somehow got roped into all of this off the simple fact he used to date Kwon Mi Yeon D. LBH was being blackmailed by an unknown group, revealed to be Kang Byung-kyu. Decide for yourself. Here's an excerpt explaining LBH's side as you already know about the 'frame Kang Byung-kyu story'. + Show Spoiler + A BH Entertainment representative explained, “Lee Byung-heon did have a girlfriend whom he met last autumn and broke up with this spring, but the abovementioned men threatened to create falsehoods about him and the ex-girlfriend while demanding money. However, when Lee Byung-heon refused to comply, they presented the woman as plaintiff in a civil suit.” The threats demanded 2 billion won (approx $1.7 million) and the men are said to be connected to Ms. Kwon, although their exact relationship was not disclosed. The rep explained that as Lee’s side had done nothing wrong, they had requested an investigation into the threats. They will counter through legal channels with their own lawsuit for defamation of character. from dramabeans The X-Files that x-file story is both a gem and a steaming pile of shit. The file itself was basically an aggregated 113 page report (more a laundry list) of rumors that a powerful advertising agency Cheil Communication (under the Samsung conglomerate) compiled to determine whether the celebs they were paying to endorse a product was deemed 'safe' for PR. To create this list, they interviewed several paparazzi/tabloid reporters, who revealed some 'insider secrets' (suspicions, really) that had only circumstantial proof. "[they] interviewed 10 reporters, who were given vouchers worth 200,000 Won each for their information - Approx $500 CDA." Somehow, the report leaked into the public and a lot of celebrities were caught. In the report, there are several criteria that rank celebrities, including: 'Present Position', 'Future Prospects', 'Talent', 'Self-Management', and perhaps the most condemning section, 'Unconfirmed Rumors'. Some celebrities that were caught in the crossfire (most of these are filed under the unconfirmed rumors section): - Han Ga In: innocence is her image, babyface. Analogous to the IU of actresses, although in my opinion, that would be Park Bo Young. - LBH: claims he liked young women and he enjoyed 'lewd sex positions' + Show Spoiler + apparently reverse cowgirl is kinky? lel korea He also kept a score for the women he slept with. Song Hye Kyo receieved the lowest score apparently, and was oddly enough his girlfriend at the time. Some people said he also slept with Yoon Eun Hye, but that's a crock of shit made up by some antis. List of some of the people he slept with (basically all of his co-stars[excellent deduction, tabloid journalists!]): + Show Spoiler + 1. Lee Young Ae 3. Kim Ha Neul 4. Lee Eun Joo 5. Song Hye Kyo 6. Choi Ji woo 7. Shim Eun Ha etc etc etc - Gong Yoo & Jo In Sung: gay lovers - Han Ji Hye & Han Ye Seul : intense rivals Since the report was leaked, over half the celebrities (over 150 of them) have filed lawsuits for slander/defamation against Cheil Communications, and over 50 have refused to work with the agency again. These are all A-list celebs, not your average idols. Sources: http://orbi.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=xi_agit_pix&wr_id=98916 - this is the original x-file pertaining specifically to LBH. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/23/business/worldbusiness/23iht-laundry24.html?_r=0 http://twitchfilm.com/2005/01/korean-entertaiment-industry-rocked-by-entertainers-x-file.html So what's the big deal about this? The fact that these rumors were being passed around in the entertainment industry, and moreover, when a portion (maybe 10%ish? idk, I only read about a certain portion of the list. the percentage is based off people's comments on the subject a while back, so take it with a heap of salt.) of these were proven to be true since the leak happened is certainly worth a consideration, even if the claims were baseless. The IU, T-ara, Davichi, BJY, KARA, etc incidents should teach you all that image, no matter how illogical, has gargantuan influence on your status. You should know, being a fan of kpop stars, that image is literally the only commodity a celebrity has in Korea. Nobody makes money off music. Nobody makes money off movies or dramas. Everybody makes money off endorsements, so advertising companies have a shitload of clout, especially one under the biggest chaebol in Korea. | ||

If that could be actually be answered, it would be trivial to manufacture viral hits. It's not the kind of thing you can come up with a specific reason for. | ||

This is the second list of kpop rumors. http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/10053835.html + Show Spoiler + T-ara Jiyeon Is a heavy drinker. Before and after the scandal. Hyomin Her family has disowned her for being associated with the dating club. Possibilities of her being falsely accused are very likely, but CCM is taking no action to clear this particular accusation with press release. Among all the members she has suffered the most- loss of income, disregard from management and her family’s condemnation. Her father was initially against her choice of career, but eventually accepted her wishes once he knew that she would continue her education. Eunjung CCM was informed by the producers that Eunjung’s participation in the drama Five Fingers was still lying on uncertain grounds till after the press release. CCM DID acknowledge the producers decision, but they back-tracked once the makers made an official announcement about Eunjung’s replacement in press. Big Bang G-Dragon is the one who has issues with certain members of Super Junior and these issues date back to the time he was trainee at SM Entertainment. Animosity between him and certain member blew out of proportion in 2009. G-Dragon was not just close to BOA he was also very close to Taeyeon, but the never dated. Many of you assume that might still be a junkie, but from what I have heard he has remained clean since his marijuana controversy. He is not bi-sexual. He is said to be just friends with Kiko Mizuhara till date. He has developed a disgruntled attitude as well as a chip on his shoulders due to limitation he has received as an artist. During his trainee days in SM he had a group of friends which included Gyuri (Kara) and Lee Yeon Hee. Gyuri was also friends with Junsu and Eunhyuk. The rumors about her link-up with Kim Junsu before KARA’s debut was based on this, because his saessang fans were prior witnesses of their late night hang outs. Whether she dated Junsu or not during her trainee days is not known. The rumor about her being in long term relationship with a non-celebrity is not true. T.O.P has been very close to Lee Yeon Hee since the time they worked together for Bean Pole CF. I have no other information about these two. Super Junior (not giving names sorry) Member A who has been active in SJ and SJ-M has been giving his agency a really tough time. Apparently, he doesn’t want to be a part of SJ- M even though he is one of the popular members. He has even gone around bad-mouthing his SJ-M management and certain members of the group for receiving more opportunities. His bad attitude went a bit too far when a group of foreign hosts (4 men and 1 woman in gag costumes) arrived at SM H.O (Korea) for an interview with the idols. He was extremely unpleasant during the recording and while off-camera he kept cursing at the interviewers in Korean, even calling the woman in the group a transgender. Many of those who have known idol member A for a long time say that he was never difficult and ill-mannered, but changed drastically after he started working more actively abroad. Reason being that he doesn’t like the way his career has unfolded and because he wants more solo projects especially in Korea. Girl Group 01 Member L from a popular girl group has not been on friendly terms with her management, staff and fellow members (everything is strictly professional). Member L was told to go under the knife when she received a drama offer late last year. She was not keen on receiving the role and more so did not want to go through any plastic surgery procedure. She was also told that she was going to work on a musical project once she finishes filming all her parts. However, when she became adamant about the role and the surgical procedure her agency threatened her pull her off the musical project. So she went along with the agency’s decision. She was miserable with the initial surgical result and to make matters worse Member K who was also a part of the musical project requested the agency to replace L from the project with M, because L was unprofessional and argumentative during rehearsals. The agency also decided that it would be more profitable if they released the project earlier then planned. To top that Member K felt that M was more deserving and the agency agreed. L was told about this change while she was shooting for her show, and as a result she felt she was back-stabbed by everyone involved excluding member M. Collaborative project was an instant surprise hit and L was not happy. About L and K K hates working with L. Apparently she didn’t like her even when they were trainees. L and K had major fight last May. Off camera L is known for being closer to her male label mates in comparison to her fellow group members. She is also known for being possessive about her friends and boyfriends. When L found out that a fellow group member N had a crush on her male friend she blew the whole thing out of proportion and causing K to get involved and make peace between the two. It is safe to say the L and N really can’t stand each other of camera and N doesn’t even acknowledge L’s male friend anymore. L also interfered in another member’s relationship which led to more turbulent issues within the group. While L only had one members support the others backed of and 3 members turned against her completely. K and N along with B (K’s confidant) Hallyu Girl Group This group has had ups and downs. Lately the center member was not happy with the attention another younger member was getting and during a heated conversation passed a sarcastic comment about the member’s lack of sex appeal in comparison to her own. Well the young member did not take this lightly and snapped back at the older member by saying, “You need to start using anti-aging cream, because day by day you are starting to look like a witch” All hell broke loose between the two and other members of the group including their staff. The older member is now only communicating with one member and not so much with other members. Food for thought There is an extremely popular and beautiful idol in the industry that happens to be half Korean and half Vietnamese. Her agency pulled everything possible to keep this information under wrap. A gorgeous rising actor is known in the industry for being a bi-sexual and he currently dating a stunning female idol. They have even appeared in magazine photo spread together. ALSO.... There is a 1994 born idol who is dating an idol 13 years her senior. She also received a pay-cut as a punishment from her agency when they found out about this and is currently being monitored by her manager like a hawk. we pangirl pantasy now? anyways, these are fun. | ||

Crazy stuff, and yeah...it seems to me also that the image is essentially how the stars make money. Unfortunately it's not really about the music or anything like that...all the image created by the company etc :\ | ||
