Seems like Chae Yeon Noona got the short hair syndrome! Ya! She got it all changed for her new single “Clumsy Love” which is said to be her favorite song *rolling eyes* the song to me is like a modern version of trot songs! But that’s just what it seems to me .. some people like Chae Yeon might find it their favorites! God knows! The shot above is from the Music Video’s behind the scene that we can’t wait to see … she performed her new song on Seoul Drama Award 27/8/07 and I have one thing to ask this noona! Can you for once! Only once! Perform LIVE! Eish!

Chae Yeon - Performing “Clumsy Love” on Seoul Drama Award 27/8/07

Now! Does anyone have any objections toward her new attire? Then go see the Korean world class designer Lie Sang-bong known for his Hangul alphabet trademark!

Her stylist Kim Eun-hye said, “I made Chae Yeon’s stage costume with designer Lie Sang-bong. His artistic sense and Chae’s sex appeal resulted in a classy wardrobe.”

Lie printed his trademark Korean alphabet ‘hangeul’ designs, adjusted to fit the singer’s image, on the costume, while Kim made an outer garment using artificial mirror pieces and fishnet cloth to complete a ‘noblesse sexy’ costume uniquely for Chae Yeon.

The singer said, “I love the costume. The hangeul print makes it so classy. It’s such an honor to meet fans in an outfit made by a world class designer.”

There is also confusion on what Chae Yeon has said in MBC’s “Come to Play” she apparently talked way too much that left people hard to catch up! She talked of an ex-boyfriend … apparently she had a boyfriend that he was getting annoyed at how she was having way too many guy friends and got it all mistaken … and the situation got that bad that once they fought and he kicked her out of his house and let her stay outside for the whole night while it was raining hard and she didn’t have car to go anywhere! Then when finally he broke up with her … she got so hurt that all of sudden she had a horrible fever that wouldn’t go away and even doctors couldn’t diagnosed it, so they had her hospitalized and fans comment that was during recording her album … but then she thinks she learned alot about that experience and life etc…

Then she came out saying she won’t ever be seeing that dude anymore … and then talked about this friend of her that how she has gotten so close to! Netizen assumption that it’s an Radio DJ .. Anyways, it’s said that Chae Yeon has asked this dude not call her Noona anymore cuz makes her feel she is older that him (they apparently have a year difference) and they are too close that she even text message him when she comes across any traffic so he could avoid the road! She also talked about comedian No Hong Chul (28) that once they happened to talk for an hour or so on the phone! and that was when Chae Yeon had alot on her mind and he was a great listener .. anyways … Now according to an article in Yahoo Korea! Chae Yeon is having a Boyfriend! There are articles everywhere some are combining all that and assuming that this new boyfriend is oori Radio DJ No Hong Chu!

K-Pop: Sexy Stars Versus Sweet Girls

Singer Ivy is known for wearing hot pants that show off her beautiful legs.

By Cathy Rose A. Garcia

Lee Hyo-lee’s reign as K-pop’s hottest is being challenged by singers like Ivy, Chae Yeon, and Seo In-young.

Lee sent temperatures rising in 2003 when she made her debut as a sexy singer. Many female singers have since tried to follow in her footsteps, pushing the limits of sexiness with barely-there outfits and hot dance moves.

Lee is still a top fashion icon and sought-after product endorser, but she seems to be looking for a new direction for her career. She appears in several ads as well as sizzling spreads showing off her gleaming skin and curves in fashion magazines like W and Cosmopolitan.

Earlier this year, there was a backlash against her sexy image. Her recent mini-drama “If In Love … Like Them” failed to draw in audiences. Lee has also not been paying much attention to her music career, only releasing a digital single album last March.

While Lee struggles, several female K-pop singers are making their move. Some are going for the hardcore sexy image, while others are keeping it sweet.

Leading the pack of sexy singers are Seo In-young and Chae Yeon. Seo, a former member of girl group Jewelry, who has generated controversy with her barely-there costumes and hot dance moves. At the Dream Concert last weekend, she even gave a pole-dancing performance.

Chae Yeon also doesn’t balk at being branded as a “sexy singer.” She has recently been performing her latest dance single “My Love,” while wearing low-slung mini-skirts and cropped tops.

While these divas have been trying to outdo each other with sexiness, there is another group of singers who are downplaying their sex appeal. Ivy, Lexy, Hyun Young and Banana Girl are still making waves in the music scene with their unique personalities.

Ivy may have made her debut with a sexy image last year, and helped popularize hot pants that showed off her beautiful legs. This year, Ivy is focusing more on showing her strong voice and keeping her clothes on.

 

 Banana Girl scored a hit with “Chocolate,” a pop song perfect for her cute image.

It may have helped her career more, since she was chosen as the opening act for international pop superstar Christina Aguilera’s concert in Seoul this weekend. She is also preparing for her solo concert “Ivy & Present First Concert” on June 30 at Jamsil Indoor Stadium.

Lexy is going the opposite route of sexy with a tough tomboyish image. The hip-hop star released her third album “Rush” last April.

Hyun Young is making the transition from actress to perky pop star. She looked like a Barbie doll with blonde hair and pink clothes, for her almost-comical music video “Love Revolution.” Her remake of Japanese group Morning Musume’s song is climbing the charts.

Banana Girl’s cute, fresh look and catchy song “Chocolate” is also making a splash in the music charts.
