[Rumor Mill] Unrequited love, SISTAR rising as a new top girl group, and know-it-all actors


1. Although actress A and actor B were once the official couple of the entertainment industry, their break up is upsetting more than just the two involved, as it's been revealed that A has yet to move on. A has always emphasized that she broke up with B on good terms, but associates reveal that A is still in love with B. Recently, A has been trying to get cast into the same drama B is in. A's associate said to B's associate, "A's going to be in a new drama. It'd be difficult for them to star in the same drama, you think?" B's associate replied, "Sigh, how could you do that to her?"

2. After receiving much love for 'Alone' and 'Loving U' last year, there has been much talk lately over whether SISTAR is now becoming the representative top girl group of the music industry. CEO Lee Gun Hee recently had his 71st birthday present and SISTAR was invited as celebratory performers. Held at the Shilla Hotel on the 9th, there were other famous figures - (insert list of famous Samsung names) for a total of 350 in attendance. SISTAR was the only idol group invited to perform among a list of veteran guests like Joo Hyun Mi, Shim Soo Bong, and Kim Yunja. Last year, the CEO had invited Insooni, Baek Ji Young, Kim Bum Soo, and Park Jung Hyun. Music industry officials are definitely jealous of the rare invite SISTAR managed to receive, and rumors quickly spread about how much they were paid for their attendance. SISTAR's representatives were quick to deny, "They received what they normally receive for events."

3. Actor C is becoming the subject of annoyance for many for his arrogant attitude. His talented acting skills were discovered a bit late, but better late than never as he's now a leading role being recognized for his talents. Recently, industry officials have been heard saying, "C grew a bit too much too fast." One said, "C's a great actor but he also has an eye for the directing aspects and keeps involving himself in them. Producers and his castmates feel very uncomfortable." As if that wasn't bad enough, C has now started involving himself with the promotional aspects as well. A PR manager said, "I had scheduled the cast for an appearance on a variety show, but he said, 'We don't need to do that', and refrained the others from taking part. He's also put us in some uncomfortable predicaments with his interviews, and yet he claims, 'There can't be an actor more comfortable to work with than me.'"

4. Another story about that actor who beats people up when he's drunk from the last rumor mill.

5. Actress E is notorious for hitting on every male castmate she's starred with. She uses her famous aegyo to seduce him and asks him out for a meal every chance she gets. She's been fairly successful in the past, but recently met her match when she tried hitting on actor F, a castmate of her current drama. F had already heard rumors about her and kept his distance, acting like a rock in the face of her seduction.

6. Actor G, known for his innocent and homely image, was found to have an interesting dating history. Although he recently got married, G was actually involved with actress H, a costar of one of his dramas. H had been married at the time but the two spent no time getting closer, leading to rumors being spread about their budding relationship. H's husband caught wind of what was going on and took off to see G, demanding that he explain himself. Unable to control his anger, H's husband hit a car parked outside G's house. Unfortunately, it had not been G's car at all and once investigations were launched to find the culprit, the industry found out all about G and H's relationship.

  4. Interesting stuff. I'm curious about who Actor G and Actress H maybe.
    Heck I'm curious about all these blind item Actors and Actresses.


    Sistar is definitely rising in popularity continiuously because they do promote really good music and such. But also, I thought there's always been controversy around them regarding starship buying their album/songs just so it'll rise. I hope that's not true though

    ReplyDelete
  5. It's sweeped through like Cube buying back 4minute's albums but difference is they have proven that their success is real. Look at all the year end charts that have Alone and Loving U chart in all top 5 spots, definitely proves that both songs were really popular. There's only so much they can do for manipulating things fakely to seem more popular than they are but all these things prove otherwise.
    Well I like Sistar and the girls seem really nice and honest real girls so I'm happy for their success.

    ReplyDelete
  6. sister can't really become a top tier group when their physical albums sell like 10k copies while someone like SNSD will sell 100k easily. that's just terrible. pretty much people are just downloading their songs for 5 cents and aren't willing to shell out money for their actual albums.

    ReplyDelete
  7. South Korea top girl group as of now:

    SNSD

    2NE1, Kara, Wonder Girls (?), SISTAR

    ReplyDelete
  8. Don't know why when I read the first rumor, I thought of Hyun Bin - Song Hye Kyo..
    Maybe it was just because this statement "....they were once the official couple of the entertainment industry, their break up is upsetting more than just the two involved...."

    ReplyDelete
  9. 1. Someone said Song Hye Kyo and Hyunbin. I was thinking the same thing.

    2. Sistar has to get through a few girl groups be the top girl group. They had good digital sales but their albums do not sell well. Top girl groups are usually able to do well in both areas.

    3.IDK

    4. skip
    5. IDK
    6. IDK

    ReplyDelete
  10. why kara.. lol please put the other 2009/2010-er girlgroup debut~~

    ReplyDelete
  11. It does sound like Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo, plus she has a new drama that is coming up with Jo In Sun. Although SeGa fans believe that he is dating Ha Ji Won and will marry her soon.

    ReplyDelete
  12. who else do you think is more qualified then?

    T-error? bye bye
    4minute? Hyuna and her nobodies
    Rainbow? who?
    After School? Orange Caremel and Uee!
    f(x)? Try harder. Oh and come back with a fanname plz
    Secret? Hyosung boobies!
    Nine Muses? SNSD copies
    Girl's Day? diaper girls!

    ReplyDelete
  13. as from I see, a lot of korean people (casual fans) loved sistar songs so their digital songs sold A LOT but they still haven't growing out their fandom big enough (domestically and internationally) to increase their physical album sales. snsd made from SM, since the start they already attracted SM family stans to buy their albums. seeing sistar debut from nugu company and yet achieved all those thing is pretty awesome.
    as for t-ara, I think their international fandom still bigger than sistar's...
    sistar hwaitiiiiiingggg~~

  14. oop forgot Miss Suzy, shows how much I care for her haha

  15. Wonder Girls is going on hiatus though...

  16. Woah... Wtf happened to Rainbow? I forgot all about them...

  17. They takin' the subway train to nuguland forever

    ReplyDelete
  18. i think no. 5 , actress E = Yoon Eun Hye, actor F = Park Yoochun

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yeahh, a few of my friends who were in Korea for summer said that Loving U would always be requested to play on the radio and you would hear it everywhere. If they weren't popular with the general public, I don't think their songs would be praised so highly in articles/charts/forums, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I think 6 might be Um Tae Woong. Since he's the one who got married recently. As for the former co-star, I have no idea.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Isn't he married now?

    ReplyDelete
  22. SISTAR being the new National Girl Group? Though I'm an avid SNSD fan, I'm not surprised. I know records and titles are meant to be broken and replaced. SISTAR has been making songs favorable to the Korean public while SMENT has been trying to please the foreign crowd. SNSD actually stopped their hook songs since Hoot. Those 9 angels will always have a special place in SONEs heart. So..


    Go claim that title, SISTAR!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hyunbin basically did not have any project in the past 2 years in the army and Hye Kyo has a new drama. Does that make Hyunbin the A person? Hyunbin tried to get cast into the same drama that Hye Kyo is in? but Hye Kyo's drama finished casting long time ago. ----> Not Hyunbin and Hye Kyo obviously

    ReplyDelete
  24. 1) Kinda sad but I feel like it's Actress A Song Hye Kyo & Actor B Hyun Bin. A lot of people were sad when they announced their break up and now that Hyun Bin is back from the army, he's most likely looking into a new drama.

    2) SISTAR getting invited to the CEO's birthday party may have been a personal preference - the CEO may like them more than other idols/singers, so that can't indicate much. However, most shows still refer to SNSD as "National Girl Group" so I think that SISTAR will stay as the top, but not "National Girl Group" level.

    3) Actor C sounds more like an older actor than Kim Soo Hyun since they said "His talented acting skills were discovered a bit late, but better late than never," so I assume it's an actor in his late 20s at least?

    5) Is it Moon Geun Young? I'm not so sure about this one but she's the first one to come to mind.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I don't think so cuz it says "current drama" but her drama is over already. Unless this post was made a few weeks ago..

    ReplyDelete
  26. they said A is an "ACTRESS" meaning female LOL

    ReplyDelete
  27. CF offers can also be a factor, how's SISTAR doing with this?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yeah, suomyona meant the couple in question could be Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo. Not that actress A is Hyun Bin. lmfao

    ReplyDelete
  29. 1) Do you think Hyun Bin is dating Ha Ji Won now instead?

    ReplyDelete
  30. i think it quite possible since MY just finished last weeks..

    ReplyDelete
  31. I like SISTAR but they are not on the same level as SNSD yet. SNSD are known as the nation's girl group not only because of their songs (excluding IGAB maybe) but also all the members literally have many activities in all sorts of entertainment field. Radio, variety show, drama, musical, and not to mention all those CFs they have. SNSD have also become one of the fashion icons in Korea too. If music industry officials are jealous of SISTAR's popularity know, it might be because they don't come from the BIG 3 and also because it might have been impossible for a group who wasn't from the BIG 3 to acquire the popularity like what SISTAR achieved now. Still though, comparing them with SNSD is a bit too early imo

    ReplyDelete
  32. LOLed at Girl's Day, diaper girls.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh... My head...
    i love to see A,,B,C,D ONLY in math n chemical reaction question....

    ReplyDelete
  34. well, SISTAR is sexy and can sing, I have no problem,,,

    ReplyDelete
  35. T-ara outsold Kara in 2012 in Korea. WG hasn't been top 5 in a while.

    ReplyDelete
  36. They had a recent CF deal with one chocolate bar company., I think it was snickers, a CF with Ssangyong Motors, puma cf, new coffee cm, and they another cf deal in early 2012 with a clothing line. Also, I see them featured in magazines quite a bit. Those promotions were all in 2012 too. So yeah, I think they are doing pretty well.


    I'm happy for them, all their members are slowly gaining some sort of recognition for something. Plus, I hope their recent popularity encourages other groups to step their game up.

    ReplyDelete
  37. But hanneli didnt say anything about the gender.

    ReplyDelete
  38. otw to be irrelevant. thanks for the memories wg

    ReplyDelete
  39. t-ara has a bad reputation right now so i don't think the public sees them as a top girl group right now..

    ReplyDelete
  40. That's what he implied or rather, he mistaken as. Read the article again. A is an actress, B is an actor.

    ReplyDelete
  41. G could be Uhm Tae Woong since he did get married recently. At first I thought that H could be Han Ga In, but it says drama costar not movie costar. Possibly Lee Yo Won from Queen Seon Deok (2009)? She was married and still is married. And it says "dating history" which implies it can't have been really recent. Pure speculation...

    ReplyDelete
  42. yes, the gender makes it clear that the rumor can not be about Hyunbin and Song Hye Kyo, that's why I put the question mark. Hyunbin could not be A because he's male and could not be B because he did not have any new film recently

    ReplyDelete
  43. 3. kim nam gil? i heard he's interested in producing and his acting talent discovered a bit late (queen seon duk)
    5. E: PSH? F: yoon shi yoon. Idk, i just watch strongheart when the guests are flower boy next door cast. They talked about her "aegyo talking" and she said it's sometimes misunderstood? And yoon shi yoon is a smart guy who loves reading books xD

    hahaha, I have no talent in guessing -_-

    ReplyDelete
  44. Maybe not, but their music is going to stay widely liked. Ex: Day by Day and Sexy Love still got awards.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yes "G recently got married" and "innocent and homely image" sounds like Uhm Tae Woong!

    ReplyDelete
  46. yup their songs are very catchy

    ReplyDelete
  47. Lee Yo Won? (Queen Seon deok)

    ReplyDelete
  48. Yep. Their CF endorsements in 2012 have been (and still remaining their contracts for some) Sola-C, Pelicana, Holika Holika, Korando C, Samsung Galaxy SIII, Cheoum Cheorum (for Hyorin), Haemoramin (for Bora), Let's Be Cafe and Snickers. There might be more but these are the one I can immediately list.

    For their other endorsements that have no video CFs, there is Clride.N, Plastic Island, Hyundai's Volester Turbo (for Bora) and ISENBERG (2013). There might be more, but once again, these are the only I can immediately list.

    ReplyDelete
  49. 1. hyun bin & song hye kyo?

    ReplyDelete
  50. 1. I guess it's Song Hye Gyo and Hyun Bin but not really sure.
    3. Maybe Song Joong Ki... coz after what he did at Yoo Hee Yeol's sketchbook, his image has been kinda ruined for me.
    4. Song Kang Ho ??
    5. No idea
    6. Uhm Tae Woong - Lee Yo Won

    ReplyDelete
  51. apparently they still have the second largest fanclub though(?), besides with the wonder girls its more about legacy and what they achieved rather than where they are now

    ReplyDelete
  52. I find it unfortunate that SISTAR just doesn't sell physically, if they did then they'd definitely be able to claim that title.

    ReplyDelete
  53. DSP is obviously neglecting them. Even Woori (Rainbow's rapper) complained about this on broadcast and it's sad.

    ReplyDelete
  54. OMGGG hyun bin and song hye kyo were he first one that pops into my head too

    ReplyDelete
  55. I hope number 1 isn't Song Hye Gyo and Hyun Bin..It's upsetting as a Song Hye Gyo fan that she gets bashed just because she fell in love with Hyun bin and just because Sega fans where obsessed with Ha ji won-hyun bin pairing that they can't differentiate between reel and real......plus the fact that he let her go just because of the crazy bashing shows he doesn't deserve her..

    ReplyDelete
  56. Actor F is a badass.
    I want to know who he is.

    ReplyDelete
  57. but i noticed since their comeback that SNSD are losing their rank more and more.
    their comeback has not been as great as everybody was expecting.
    they are still on top but i wonder for how much time.
    look at the charts, they topped it at the fist week only and now they are distance by solo artists etc... they were backed-up by the general public before and by their fandom but seeing the ranking it seems like the general public lost interest in them.
    people's tastes changed since a year, they don't expect idols to be just pretty anymore but to give music of quality.
    and yeah, 2012 was Sistar's year and we have to wait for their next comeback to decide if they are or will be more popular than SNSD.

    ReplyDelete
  58. F(x) make baby steps but they did well this year digitally and with physical albums !
    they are not at the level of the big girls groups of course but no need to bash them.

    ReplyDelete
  59. *looks at Melon chart* IGAB #2. Huh?


    For all purposes, this comeback has been very successful. I understand not liking the song but don't turn that dislike into a unsuccessful comeback.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Seriously cackling at people thinking sistar is going to overtake snsd just because I got a boy isn't doing as well with the public like the boys or even twinkle did. Snsd has had unsuccessful comebacks before like run devil run and with genie they only won like three times.....and yet they remain the nation's girl group! It is possible! I agree with you, there's more to being a top girl group than just hit songs.

    ReplyDelete
  61. that was what my korean friend said. that sistar was hot all summer!

    ReplyDelete
  62. 1. SHK-HB? A(SHK) has a new drama and Hyun Bin is now out of the military.

    3. Han Seok Gyu (Tree with Deep Roots)... http://enewsworld.mnet.com/enews/contents.asp?idx=27162

    5. Moon Geun Young came to mind coz she has a currently airing drama and the aegyo thing. I don't think it's Oh Seon Yeo coz she is/was already linked to Lee Jang Woo.

    6. Uhm Tae Woong? But I'm not sure if the actress is Lee Yo Won coz the sentence said, "...been married at the time" kinda sounds like now she's divorce and from what I know LYW is still married.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Hum can't be MGY, because If you watch BST scenes PSH is very friendly with MGY and they get along too well. You can say PSH is loving to work with her and he praises her all the time too.

    Also MGY is an actress that is really off key about her life and was never in a scandal before....

    ReplyDelete
  64. Why i just think that ceo wants to watch sistar dancing adult sexy way for 'alone'..just imagine him ,very old him want to watch snsd i got a boy? ..he s e only one prefer to watch sistar....doesnt make sense to claim sistar as a top girl group just bcos they got invited to perform to tat ceo birthday...

    ReplyDelete
  65. seeing #2 melon after 23 days of release, let alone top 5 in some other charts, i can call it a huge success for a "supposed-to-be-a-flop", and that the general republic still supports them as hell, even more than I expected tbh .__. I thought it would be kicked out of top 10 in a week with all those negative responses. SNSD surprises me again.

    ReplyDelete
  66. 1. I really wonder if this is SHK & HB.
    I was sooo disappointed when they broke up o: I fell in love with the drama they had starred in...
    Dating irl was like watching a fairy tale happen.
    Some how in my delusional mind, I'm hoping they would get back together o:

    ReplyDelete
  67. but their album flopped...2ne1's 2011 album outsold alone...even rookies had better album sales

    ReplyDelete
  68. if he lets her go because of the bashing, it could mean he is trying to protect her. There were rumors that SeGa fans sent death threats to SHG asking her to break up with Hyun Bin so he could be with HJW.


    Hyun Bin/HJW shippers now come to weird conclusions that the couple is dating and will marry once 2013 ends. I don't think there's enough proofs to conclude that they are even dating.

    ReplyDelete
  69. But in korea it's definitely uee and with her drama now, she's going to stay at the top even more.

    ReplyDelete
  70. wonder girls were in the top 5 and top 10 in the girl group categories on Gaon charts, but were only top 20 overall with other artists

    ReplyDelete
  71. 1.Gong Hyo Jin - Ryu Seung Bum or Park Min Young - Lee Min ho
    3-Kim Soo Hyun or Song Joong ki
    5-Moon Geun Young - Park Shi Hoo or Yoon Eun Hye-Park Yoochun
    6-Uhm Tae Woong-Lee Yo Won

    ReplyDelete
  72. I don't know but there was the famous rumor that someone's brother or boyfriend in the military saw Hyun Bin's wallet with a picture of Ha Ji Won. There wasn't a picture to prove it though, so no one really knows.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Sistar is EXTREMELY popular with the general public.
    They have really high digital sales as well as tons of CF's.
    Album sales these days dont really reflect much anymore except that you either have a strong company who is willing to buy back ur albums or bunch of hardcore fans. As you can see from Super Junior album sales are not really a true representative of who is on top. Public recognition and sentiment is.

    And I am pretty sure for T-ara's post scandal album CMM had a lot to do with the album sales.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Music officials are jealous because SISTAR was invited to perform on a private birthday party for a rich businessman? Rly..there's nothing there to be envious about. I think it's actually a demerit to perform for rich dude's parties instead of making their money on shows with public attendance.

    ReplyDelete
  75. i first thought of ryu seungbum and gong hyojin though. they broke up in a good terms, and esp gong hyojin emphasized that herself (http://www.allkpop.com/2012/08/actress-gong-hyo-jin-reveals-reason-for-her-break-up-with-ryu-seung-bum). i don't remember song hyegyo herself said anything particular about their break-up except a military farewell message. but well, it's not like ryu seungbum is going to star in a new drama since he's more of movie actors... so... idk.

    other possible names:
    yoo haejin - kim hyesoo
    choi jinhyuk - seo eunseo (a very recent breakup though)
    lee minho - park minyoung (???!!)

    ReplyDelete
  76. 3. "but better late than never as he's now a leading role being recognized for his talents. "
    As far as I know Han Seok Gyu isn't at any drama at the moment, or is he?

    ReplyDelete
  77. so if youre invited to a rich dude's party youre a top group??? I thought you were a top group when you constantly topped the charts or stuff like that not because a rich dude wants u to perform at his party... i like SISTAR but I dont think theyre there yet..
    and ohh poor actress A... :((( it totally sounds like song hye kyo and hyun bin...


    about the actor in #3 i dont see anything wrong with giving your point of view involving directing and stuff as an actor since in some way, if the thing fails you would be affected but the last bit about him being the best actor to work with is a bit too much...

    ReplyDelete
  78. Actress A park min young actor B lee minho
    Actress E song hye gyo because she kinda has that reputation
    Shes been gossiped with most of her costars. plus shes filming a drama with dat hottie who i forgot his name

    ReplyDelete
  79. Could be Yoon Shi Yoon? He only got famous after Kim Tak Gu, Baking King and is recently starring in a new drama with Park Shin Hye...

    ReplyDelete
  80. yep they were the first to pop into my head.

    ReplyDelete
  81. wah, it could be lee minho and park minyoung

    ReplyDelete
  82. LOL yes exactly..
    I meant the B - A couple could be Hyun Bin - Hye Kyo

    ReplyDelete
  83. relevance ≠ album sales


    educate yourself

    ReplyDelete
  84. lol I was talking about their 07 era when their debut album had pretty good sales as rookies. many suju, dbsk, even csjh fans supported snsd when they debuted with ITNW. sure they went down in 08 but thanks to gee & genie, their fandom grow a lot bigger ^^

    ReplyDelete
  85. lol this. I'm so confused with people said IGAB flopped but that song still doing pretty well in digital charts..
    and according to hanteo the album already sold 100,000++
    yay!

    ReplyDelete
  86. was asking myself the same question. don't understand how people can think sistar is on the same level as snsd just because of a couple of songs that did well on charts. if thats how it worked, how many national girl groups would there be???

    ReplyDelete
  87. that may be true, but SNSD is the nation's girl group. They are huge over there, and even though rookies may have more sales, they are still rookies and are not really known among the public.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Stay pressed, Sones. Looks like SNSD's career is going to be over soon, judging from the stans' reaction.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Wonbin didn't know who SNSD was...js

    ReplyDelete
  90. I said ALMOST everyone not ALL people in Korea...didn't I?

    ReplyDelete
  91. their getting a piece of the pie with the Korean public but getting a loyal and dedicated fandom is much harder to achieve.

    ReplyDelete
  92. don't think so. Song Hye Kyo is currently working on a drama with Jo In Sung set to air after Queen of Ambition on SBS.

    ReplyDelete
  93. gosh some people make it sound that hye kyo is so madly in love w/ hyun bin DUH! hb got release from the military last december while hye kyo's starring in a new drama. how can it be possible that kyo is trying to be casted in hb drama when he's not decided on his next project & after that winter the wind blows kyo is going to china to film her new movie w/ john woo.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Sega fans are annoying...Im really not a fan of SHG, HB, but at one point Sega drama intrigued me so I came to read recaps and comments and stuff yet all I ever got to read were Sega fans cray-cray posts, it turned me off to watch the drama.
    But if ever HB did break up with SHG cause he fell in love with HJW, doesnt that make him a bad guy? HB also dated his past costars as much as SHG dated hers..

    ReplyDelete
  95. They're the ones who came to mind. I feel so sad for SHK....She's so beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  96. It doesn't make you the top girl group, but it makes them important since they were the ONLY idol group invited.
