130916 K-Wave Stateside: K-pop Stories in American News (Week of Sep 9 – Sep 14)



Looks like K-Pop female stars are getting hit left and right for saying or doing things on reality shows that they probably should not have done. And of course Popdust gets to it. And of course, behind it is notorious ‘Ilbe’ which has been crucifying many a K-pop star these days (a.k.a. giving trouble to Crayon Pop?). In this interesting find, even Secret Hyosung is getting the unwanted attention for giving too much attention i.e. staring at someone the wrong way. (How should a person stare anyway?) If I could offer advice to Hyosung, next time just don’t stare. Out of trouble that way, no?


There are better news of course… and K-pop is proving successful in US!

INFINITE is coming!

So, INFINITE is doing their world tour and of course the next mega boy group is headed Stateside. It was announced that the cities they will tour in the United States are San Jose, Los Angeles(CA), Fairfax (VA), and New York (NY).

Still all about GD

G-Dragon has entered the Billboard 200, and of course tops the World Albums Chart. Coup d’ Etat is currently 182 out of 200 songs listed.


And Complex has declared a G-Dragon Week. Featuring different stories around G-Dragon and Coup D’ Etat. And this special is getting a lot of attention in the media and the audience, and brings G-Dragon in a much different and in-depth light.



f(x) Reacts to Billboard Win

f(x) is really getting known not only in Korea; but as well as in the United States by being number one in Billboard Korea and US in August! And this week Jeff Benjamin’s Kpoptown reveals an interview wherein the ladies reveal their thoughts in achieving the feat.

Did we miss anything K-pop related Stateside?

That’s the recap for this week. G-Dragon is still hitting the news and is dominating the charts worldwide. He is the breath of fresh and positive air for K-pop these days. Nonetheless, the significance of K-pop is proven as even the quirkiest of scandals are getting picked up in mainstream entertainment news.

Did you find anything interesting?
