• Japanese girl group =LOVE gaining attention for changing their styling to look more like K-pop idols

    Netizens talk about the similarities and differences between Korean idols and Japanese idols.

    In the Korean entertainment industry, there are a lot of idols and celebrities who look a lot like each other. But are there other famous people outside of Korea who look like Korean idols?

    On October 16, a post about a specific Japanese idol began trending on Nate's community board under the title, "Japanese idols who receive KPOP idols' styling versus those KPOP Idols".

    The netizen talk about a Japanese girl group called "Equal Love (=Love)" in particular. According to the post, they recently shot their MV in Korea, and Bit&Bot did their hair and makeup.

    Their MV screencaps also make them look like Korean idols, while the pictures below them show them looking like Japanese idols.

    Last, the netizen who wrote the post stated, "I thought the difference was bigger than it was, but it was smaller than I thought. There are also members who look more like they did before. Some of them do resemble KPOP idols".

    The netizen then listed all the photos showing proof that they really look like Korean Idols.

    Other netizens quickly responded and shared also their opinions:

    I think they look better originally..?

    They look better before thought..?

    All of them look better with the Japanese styling.

    Aside from 1-2 of them, they all looked better before…

    They look pretty in both though?!

    I'm shocked that the Japanese styling looked better

    Usually, girls who have always been good at managing themselves would look pretty no matter what. They are just good at being styled.

    Japanese people do look better with Japanese styling

    Why come to Korea to go to Bit&Bot

    Bit&Bot though…

    What are your thoughts?

  • Former S.E.S Shoo brings her twin daughters to a night market and reveals emotional story: “I once sold clothes just to get by”

    Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

    On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

    The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

    Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

    Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

    Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

    Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

    Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
