There are many blogs on the internet providing fans and spectators alike with juicy gossip and news updates on the Asian Entertainment Industry. They range from obsessive fan clubs, gossip portals, and dignified news/review sites. But what is the art of blogging? There are so many different styles, all providing a multi-faceted perspective on how we view and consume entertainment.

ShenYuePop! has stood out from the myriad blogs as a site that exhibits up-to-date news in a bold, often humourous critique. This is only possible through the hard work and passion of the writers on ShenYuePop! staff and other amateur bloggers who contribute to this site. Not to mention, other bloggers who graciously allow us to share their news and insight from their personal blogs on our site. And of course, the readers who post comments and interact with the ShenYuePop community make this site dynamic and all the more worthwhile to read and write for. Lastly, we can’t forget the founder and brainchild of this site, ShenYue, who have gone through sunshine and rain to keep this site running. She has sacraficed a lot overcome the language barrier and provide news in other Asian countries to foreigners. Thank you all for making ShenYuePop! your #1 source for Asian Entertainment.

I warn you this is more of me ranting about my cyber-love in the first sight! LOL
I tell you about all of it .. the initial excitement .. development of love .. the attachment struggles and the last stage of any love life the sadden disappointment! Hahahaha!

So you all know that ever since the SS501’s comeback ..
The new hair of SS501’s leader Kim Hyun Joong
… His smile
… His Lips
… His perfect profile …

has gotten me fallen’ for him! Yeah .. i am that materialistic and shallow!
Oh and if you donno this yet .. , when it comes to boys, i am the most jealous person that you have never even met in your life! I initially thought my fan girling for him will last as long as his new haircolor and cut! But DAMN~ it turn out whole lot shorter!
And cuz of this, it hurts even more LOLOL!

So you all probably know Kim Hyun Joong had plastic surgery!
This is old news and already confirmed!
The surgery was ’so called’ to remove his dark circles under his eyes ..
they say it was pretty bad! So anyways .. if the plastic surgeon has not gotten creative with the knife and just hold off back on the knife once he’s done with the dark circles that’s as much as the plastic surgery Kim Hyun Joong is said to have!

On KBS 2TV’s variety program “Sang Sang Plus – Season 2″ which was broadcasted on the evening of the 8th, Kim Hyun Joong who ever since the SS501’s comeback is very popular among ladies in the industry participated as a guest on this show as well!
OH and all of sudden that night LEE HYORI was the Co-Host! Coincident?

and the luckless person that we are ..
The theme of the night turned out pajama party!
with pillow fighting and all that good stuff!

Thank Goodness Hyori’s appearance was a surprise!
Cuz if we knew of it before hand, we have developed some form of cancer over the too much trouble mind of ours, imagining Hyori wearing her trade mark black lingerie said ‘to increase the rating of the show’ *gasping for air*

Part 1

Part 2

But the good thing is that Hyori these days is more in the mode of proving the public wrong by her new reality show .. trying to make us believe that ‘oh she is such a good girl and you guys got her mistaken as a sexy beast .. No, just look at her! Is that necessary to be shown to public?
Seems like when Hyori goes somewhere .. she goes all the way!

But sometimes thing are hard to be controlled throughly …
So for the wrap up she got all WET from head to toe! *sight*

So anyways .. during the show they ended up asking Kim Hyun Joong, now that this good looking and handsome what is the part of his feature he is most concerned of, if any!

He ended up saying, “Black circles under the eyes take up a lot of my thought.”
He also said, “My black eye circles are too serious, if I don’t eat broccoli for five days, my black eye circles can even spread to my nose.”

He even went further saying, “After I take off my makeup, the black circles under my eyes are very serious, I have to wear sunglasses.”

NOW .. just follow the luck .. just when i started liking him .. he ended up injuring his leg slipping off the stairs in the rehearsal! Freaking wish it was the real live show at least! Eish … so anyways now he got himself handicap, walking across the stage like a one legged pirate captain!

You’d say, so it’s fine he still has the face .. well .. now this crap about his face is being all mushed up black if he doesn’t eat broccoli? WTF is with the broccoli? So what if he got in some situation that he couldn’t eat broccoli for 5 days! Is he gonna turn out blue?

^ thats for the joke of course .. SS501 fans ..
No matter what he will NEVER turn out blue!
No worries alright?! LOL!

From the look of it .. Kim Hyun Joong still one leg off the puberty is having sever Vitamin K deficiency! Or the other assumption is that the blood vessels under his eyes are leaking that cause the dark blue, purple appearance .. so Vitamin K in green vegetable like broccoli will help clotting the blood! What the heck is this?!

I guess we hand him back with a big ass pink bow to Tiffany to take care of him all she wants! .. we are not at the age to imagine ourself that patient to stand in front of the cooking oven boil down fucking broccoli 5 times a week!
So much for my pathetic one sided cyber-love! Good God!

I would say that this blog has the best news all around. They cover the most interesting Asian pop culture news out there, and the author seems to really dedicate himself/herself to writing these articles in a very interesting manner. The new layout they have is also very hot.

So when we finished school couple days ago we felt like we are a human once again … and to celebrate our new finding, got our nails done! Aigoo, now the only convenient button on the keyboard to press is the “Space” bar!

But I decided to endure all the pain of typing with these long nails and on the behalf of all staff of ShenYuePop thank you all for the support and constant love …
It seems like we got our own little community back together ^^

-lOve
ShenYue! & Staff!

Why we need a sister site
By partnering with AllKpop, we are able to offer more features which are going to benefit both ShenYuePop and AllKpop readers.

How it benefits AllKpop readers
Most AllKpop readers are not aware of ShenYuePop’s existence, with the launch of the partnership, they will benefit from the in-depth coverage of Kpop news and gossip from ShenYuePop.

How it benefits ShenYuePop readers
In the past, we received many emails asking us to put up a forum for the blog, but we couldn’t manage to fulfill that. With the help from AllKpop, the dream has come true, we now have our own forum. ShenYuePop readers can now access to the forum located on AllKpop as a new venue for communication and interaction. Share your points of view or raise your questions in ShenYuePop’s forum and have it attended by the community members. Don’t you love it?

To allow our readers to stay up to date with the discussion topics in the forum, we have also incorporated a list of the latest topics from the forum into the sidebar, the list will be updated immediately as soon as a new topic is created in the forum.

It is with great sorrow that I have to announce the retirement of our core author – Shen Yue.

Shen Yue is the founder and the creator of this wonderful blog, ShenYuePop.com which was first started in November 2006. Ever since then, she has always been the great source of the latest Korean entertainment news. She has her own style of writing the news and most importantly she speaks out what she thinks, she writes what’s on her mind. I strongly believe most of you love who Shen Yue is as much as I do, however, some people just don’t appreciate it. The crazy bunch of azumas are constantly bashing and defaming her. This leaves Shen Yue no choice but to retire from the blog. Instead of feeling hurt and stressful with the disrespectful emails and comments, it would be best for her to get away and have more time for her studies and most importantly, to get back to her own life, to be the real her.

Shen Yue said:
“I just want them to know that I hope that people had a good time reading my posts for over a year and I was able to relieve the stress of their entire day! Meanwhile hopefully no one was ever hurt because of how I expressed my opinions!

This past year of experience of living closely with Kpop and blogging was so much fun. I learned a lot and made great friends! Hopefully with all the love that I have received I am now ready to study hard for the MCAT (medical entrance examination test) that I will be taking on Spring!

I hope people give our staff and new authors encouragement and have good time together! and make ShenYuepop stays as always strong and establish as we were the “FIRST” Korean-entertainment NEWS blog for the mass in English!

Let them know that we would be happy to have new active and cool staff added to our lovely community all the time ^^ and together let’s make this place GROW MORE AND MORE each day!”

At the same time, as many of you may notice the new design of the blog, I would like to take this opportunity to launch the new facelift of ShenYuePop as my way to say “THANK YOU & WE LOVE YOU” to Shen Yue. Although Shen Yue physically retires from the blog, we will always have her in our heart and mind, I believe she will continue visiting us and be our advisor for many more years to come. Not only we should continue making this the best Korean-entertainment news blog for the mass in English, let’s also make it a fun Korean entertainment community for all Kpop lovers around the world.

Goodbye, Shen Yue! Take very good care of yourself and all the best in your studies and future undertakings.

If you want to bid farewell to Shen Yue, leave it in comments, I will make sure Shen Yue read it.

Sometimes I can’t even believe the first day I made this blog was to communicate with my sister who left the house for college in another city and never logged in to my blog to leave a line! …. How lonely I was … and couldn’t find a way to forget about her empty presence within the house walls… from a personal blog with 2 visitors a day on the first week to this huge site with 2000 visitors per day!!!! It was you guys made me write more and more about Kpop …. It was you, requested to have a site … buy a domain .. you even chose my domain name in a contest … I am more than greatful for all this .. for all of you guys who read this blog and are feeling welcome to share your opinions … for all the helps you offer without we even being asked … we got here for all the love and support of you … all my staff where my loyal readers one day and now are my closest friends!
