Boy groups predicted to dominate the K-pop music scene in 2012

It would not be an overstatement to say that 2011 was all about the girl groups. Girls’ Generation, T-ara, Brown Eyed Girls, KARA, Wonder Girls, as well as other female idols topped the charts and had a strong grip on the K-pop music scene.

But now, 2012 is shaping up to be all about the boys. CHAOS, F.I.X, TEEN TOP, as well as other rookie boy groups have began their new promotions to kick off 2012, and their powerful stage performances as well as their confident vocals are raising fans’ expectations for their 2012 activities.

Wait, is one of the ladies SNSD headed to the alter? Nope. At least, not any time soon. However, while appearing on Radio Star the girls dished congratulations and well-wishes to Wonder Girls’ Sun. The MC quickly turned the tables, asking what would happen if one of SNSD’s members were to tie the knot. They said they’d continue on! Taeyeon explained, “If someone gets married, we want to put her own wishes as the number one priority.“ Tiffany said, “I saw that the Spice Girls members came with their husbands to the musical press conferences, and I really want to do that. It’s my dream to go on a vacation together with our husbands and children.” She is correct, the Spice Girls were able to “have it all”—family & music.

Are you eager to see an SNSD member walk down the aisle?

K-Pop and K-Drama Stars Have Bad Skin Days Too

K-pop Idols and K-drama stars always seem to have perfect skin, don’t they? But the truth is, many of your favorite stars struggle with their skin just like us, because after all, they’re human. From breakouts, to scars, to large pores, your favorite stars suffer from it all. But why do they always appear to have perfect skin? Well as a former makeup artist (it’s very true!) I can tell you a bit of primer and concealer can go a long way.

Park_Shin-hye_2

There’s also makeup, which is applied by using an actual airbrush, certain BB cream brands which have the power to cover everything, and of course good old-fashioned stage makeup and lighting. On top of all of that, there’s computer airbrushing, so of course all your favorite Idols and actors look perfect! However, even a few of them have moments were perfection just does not exist.

Below are photos of some of your favorites looking less than perfect. This isn’t an article to point out their imperfections; some of us fans get carried away with trying to achieve the “look” of those we admire. This is simply to show you that even Idols and actors can’t maintain perfect looks all the time. Even they have bad days, so you shouldn’t feel bad if you lack their skin perfection, because they lack it too!
