As much as we love Korea, K-Pop, Korean food and Korean girls, the continuing furore over the island of jagged rocks that is Takeshima/Dokdo has been causing some upsetting silliness over on the peninsular.
Now an internet has put up a sign in Korean and (bizarrely) English stating its refusal to allow Japanese would-be netizens from entering the premises.
Both Korean and Japanese online observers have been quick to point out that if the sign is not in Japanese, people will not understand it -- or just won't think to read it.
The sign displayed proudly at the internet cafe in ...
Former Miss Universe Japan runner-up, model, and actress Biwon has admitting having plastic surgery last year.
We found this amusing because many Japanese girls like to discard the amazing bijin quality in Korean women with the excuse that it's all just due to plastic surgery.
Certainly it is more common and latent on the peninsular. However, it's a dirty secret in Japan (along with how idols essentially have to sleep with their management at the start of their careers) that many idols and singers have used plastic surgery to enhance their "perfect" look. Unlike Korea, though, few will ...
Korean actress Oh In Hye and her amazing breasts became instantly famous when she stepped out, and they almost slipped out of an extremely revealing, bra-less orange dress that left almost nothing to the imagination during the 2011 BIFF (Busan International Film Festival).
Now Oh In-hye (b. 1987) has starred in Red Vacance Black Wedding, an erotic drama where Oh In-hye plays a femme fatale having an affair with an older man. There are two very graphic sex scenes that are awe-inspiring to watch.
Oh In-hye said: “I was really worried and I felt a lot ...
Our favorite Korean sexy ladies, the indubitable and undefeatable Girls' Generation (aka Shojo Jidai or SNSD) are going to perform tonight on the CBS talkshow, "The Late Show with David Letterman". It's apparently the first Korean music act to appear on mainstream American television!
Their five-minute set will feature "The Boys" (in English!), the title song of their third full length album. AKB48, eat your hearts out! The gals with the long legs are in charge and all your moe antics count for nothing against pure, unrestrained female sexiness!
Japanese pop stars better start ...
We really, really tried to resist the temptation to post something facile and silly about the recent demise of Kim Jong-il.
As you can see, after much inner wrangling... we failed spectacularly!
Having been married several times and fathered numerous kids, it's no secret that Jong-il had an eye for the ladies...
No prizes for guessing the next leader.
But did you know Kim Jong-il had a second job as a DJ?
[See more of this great series here.]
Funny how so many in his country lacked food and yet their leader always seemed so well-fed.
Who says the North ...
Economic conditions can have unexpected results.
Any nighttime wanderer up Shibuya's Dogenzaka, passing the eateries, convenience stores and family restaurants, may have been approached by woman -- not usually the youngest -- asking if they want a "massage". Of course, this actually means a handjob or blow job, or maybe even full service. They hang around in small groups; sometimes a sleazy pimp is nearby.
The fact that they are even asking white foreigners shows that the recession is taking its toll. And I've always loved that the police station is in full sight and no one does a ...
Across the water in the Korean peninsular, it seems that even in the world's most secretive state eros is playing her part in the revolution.
In some North Korean cities there are bars for leading labor and public safety body officials. However, these aren't just any boring drinkery. The female staff strip for the chiefs and recently there are even female university students who are willing to sell themselves so that they have the money to afford mobile phones.
According to informed sources north of the border, last year in Pyongyang, a man took marijuana and then had group sex ...
All right, I know, this isn't "Tokyo" kink but it sure is interesting! Fingers crossed that this kind of company policy makes its way here soon.
IBM in Korea has made a point in its recruitment policy of clarifying that gays, lesbians and bisexuals are very welcome to apply to work for the company. This might not sound like much but Korea has almost no gays in the public eye.
Actually, neither does Japan really, and we could well use a decent, respectable celebrity to come out. Of course, there are plenty of drag queens on TV but no one states the obvious -- that these people are ...
The battle of the Asian girl groups has reached a new level.
The relatively newly formed SDN48, who are considered to be the bit older and sexier counterpart to AKB48, have recently armed themselves against sexy K-Pop group KARA.
According to Zakzak in Japan, SDN48 has employed a Korean song writer and added "Korean-esque" lyrics to their songs to battle the threat that is the K-Pop boom in Japan at the moment. Lyrics aside, the sexiness levels of both SDN48 and KARA is quite high, but as far as the Japanese public is concerned, KARA and their sexy hip dance is winning.
Can SDN48 ...
We have been quite happy with the current flow of sexy South Korean girl groups that have been appearing here in Japan as of late, but the South Korean government seems to think they are going over board in the sexiness category.
Korea has long stuck by the Confucian ideal of showing no cleavage and no mid drifts in the media. Since the K-Pop boom has come to Japan, these principals are coming into question. Some of the big offenders, by Korean standards, are Girls Generation who have become famous for their legendary sexy legs, Brown Eyed Girl which, has a higher average age than ...
