SM Entertainment Responds to Sulli and Choiza's Dating Rumors

 

SM Entertainment has finally responded to f(x)'s Sulli (20) and Dynamic Duo's Choiza (34)'s dating rumors.

Even despite more pictures such as the one below surfacing, in an unsurprising turn of events, SM Entertainment denied the dating rumors as they stated, "[Choiza] is only a sunbae who is like a brother to Sulli. They are not dating. Since they are close, they meet often."

Although Sulli and Choiza were spotted holding hands in the previously revealed photos and video clip, according to SM Entertainment, the two merely have a brother-sister relationship.

What are your thoughts? Do they seem like just friends or something more?

Sasaeng Fans of EXO Criticized for Improper Conduct During a Wedding

 

So-called 'sasaeng' fans, who go above and beyond normal fandom levels of worshipping, are in the spotlight after their behavior at a wedding for the brother of EXO's Baekhyun.
One of the attendees posted a photo of a supposed fan standing barefoot on a table, trying to get a glimpse of her idols, as well as a photo of the EXO members being mobbed by cameras. 


"The wedding was quiet before the EXO members appeared," the person posted. "When three of them stood up to sing the congratulatory song, they rushed forward and stood on chairs to film videos. During the cake cutting, they ignored the couple since the idols were at the back, they tried to get autographs and pictures."

"They didn't listen when the members told them to stop and they'll do it later," the poster continued. "During the family photo, all of them mobbed together and took the picture. Thought it was a press event. Everyone else was getting angry and the couples' faces were getting darker."

This controversy comes after the EXO members personally requested their 'sasaeng' fans for some privacy. How do you think these people can be stopped.

Sulli Garners Criticism for Failing to Follow Complete 'Rum Pum Pum Pum' Choreography + SM Responds

 

Again, f(x) has stirred up some controversy related to behavior and mannerisms.  

This time, attention is focused on Sulli, who was clutching the hem of her skirt instead of dancing to 'Rum Pum Pum Pum' during f(x)'s performance on September 11.  The girls were on stage for the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies symposium, which was taking place in Coex this year. 

Netizens are pointing out that she failed to do the part of the dance where the girls lie on the ground and eventually push themselves back up to the music.  In the pictures above, Sulli is just squatting down while holding her skirt.  People are saying she is not trying her best and leaving criticism on YouTube and on-line forums.

One criticism said, "She has neither the energy nor the drive.  Far from giving fun and energy to the audience, it feels like she is taking them away."  Another said, "Maybe Sulli really is not meant for the idol life as she doesn't seem like a pro the way she always surprises people with her attitude."

However, others have defended her, saying it might be due to her sudden diet plan or perhaps the skirt was too short and she just felt embarrassed.

SM Entertainment spoke up in her defense, as well, saying, "It appears that Sulli failed to follow the choreography because she was not feeling well at the time."

EXO Fans Ruin Baekhyun’s Older Brother’s Wedding

 

It looks as though certain wedding guests couldn’t contain their excitement over seeing EXO and ruined a rather momentous occasion for Baekhyun‘s older brother, his bride and the rest of the wedding guests.

On September 29, photos from Baekhyun’s older brother’s wedding flooded online community forums under the collective post title, “EXO Fans that Went Too Far.” The coined term for fans who often violate the privacy of their idols is also known as “Sasaeng.” Netizens have thus assigned these fans the “Sasaeng” title.

It is still unclear as to whether these sasaeng fans were simply overexcited wedding guests or uninvited wedding crashers. 

According to the eyewitness account of one of the wedding guests, “At what was otherwise a peaceful wedding – the moment EXO made their appearance, things just went crazy. They were going to sing a congratulatory song for the groom and bride, but then all of a sudden these people we hadn’t seen before started standing on chairs to film and creating a ruckus.” 

The wedding guest went on to share, “Not only that – they also ruined the cake-cutting ceremony. Since the EXO members were standing behind the groom and the bride, these fans formed a crowd around them and prevented any of the guests from getting near with all of their begging for autographs and incessant picture-taking. They had no respect for the groom and bride- it was their special moment.”

Here are a couple photos that were taken at the wedding. Netizens have described Baekhyun’s expression as a mixture of embarrassment and anger. The second photo reveals just the unexpected chaos that ensued with EXO’s appearance at the wedding.

EXO Members Experience Hardships Over Sasaeng Fans

 

The problematic issue of sasaeng fans have once again come to light through EXO‘s recent interview where they talked about those hardships.

On August 13, EXO spoke with SportsSeoul.com for an interview and said, “The sasaeng problem is serious. It angers us because rather than harming us, it harms our neighbors and even people who have nothing to do with us. It’s also upsetting because we’re known to have many sasaeng fans so our normal fans sometimes get unfairly mistaken for sasaengs.”

EXO member D.O shared, “Personally, I even came to develop a victim mentality because of the sasaeng fans. It’s so bad that my mood changes even when I see normal fans. Even my personality changed. I was originally shy and cautious but because of sasaengs, I became even more like that.”

EXO is infamous for having many sasaeng fans. When you type in EXO in search portals, you can find many posts on their every moves of every single day. Finding out the members’ phone numbers and calling them all day is a given for these sasaeng fans.

Leader Suho stated, “We would like it if the fans only cheered for us at concerts or other public events. We are of course so thankful for the passion and support but we also have our own private lives. If you love us, please restrict the sasaeng fandom.”

EXO is currently promoting “Growl” after a successful run with “Wolf.”

f(x)’s Luna and 2NE1’s Gong Minzy Are Playful Sisters

 

2NE1’s maknae and f(x)’s singing mistress unite for some good ol’ fun.

On August 19, Minzy posted a picture along with the short caption “With Luna ❤.” On the same day, Luna posted on her me2day the same picture along with two more pictures of the girls just being silly and having fun. She cutely writes, “At the rehearsal room at Inkigayo with Minzy♥ Snap~♥ >< She gave me a *cherry ribbon* as my outfit’s point~ ♥♥”
Even though Luna is born in 1993 and Minzy is born in 1994, they are considered “friends” in Korea because Minzy is born in January. Which means, she is a “fast 1994” and attends school with all the 1993ers. Thus, she speaks in banmal (informal language) with everyone born in 1993, which makes it much easier for her to be friends with Luna and other 1993ers.
