Weekly Recap: Introduction

CL , After School, SISTAR, Daniel Henney, (Jessica H.o.) Jessi

For all you obsessive allkpop frequenters out there, you might have noticed that our site has been featuring some more unconventional articles these past two weeks. Namely, Revisiting EXO's "Wolf" MV, Rainbow's "Sunshine" MV, Henry's "Trap" MV, and SISTAR's "Give it to me" MV. 


From what I can tell, the feedback has been considerably good. To all of you who have been genuinely enjoying these articles, you guys are amazing. A+ for your sense of humor. You'll get far in life with that attitude; I'm sure of it. 

 

And for those of you who don't seem to enjoy it as much - I'd be lying if I said some of your comments didn't hurt...

 

Mmm, just kidding. I think I'll get by.   

 

A comment from one of my articles: @gold_magistrate "You could tell it was a girl who wrote this shit.

 

Poetic insight, yes, I am a girl. But I'm sure my alias (gracelim) didn't give it away, did it? 


All jokes aside, my name is Grace and I recently joined the incredible team here at allkpop. If you really want to get into the technicalities, I'm a college student who is just as thoroughly dysfunctional and hormonal as the next person in line. I'm shameless, sometimes withdrawn, a bit restless, and to those who know me, straight up embarrassing. Oh, and I'm that girl who's younger brother won't ride in the front seat of the car whenever she's driving because he values his life too much. 

 

For the better part of my daily musings with the world, I'm a hot mess. And as such, I sincerely ask for your patience while I try to figure out what I'm doing half the time. Anyways, enough about me.

 

After a long week, we've finally made it to Friday! And that being the case, I hope know some of you will be out and about, getting ready for the weekend.

 

So I thought it'd be interesting to do a new recap series of the bits and pieces that I found engaging on the site throughout the week. The Confessions of an Uncle Fan series is unquestionably phenomenal. And Uncle, if you're reading this, you just might be the cutest and most hip uncle in the world. Kudos to you. 

 

Now enough with the formalities. Here are some moments that caught my eye over this past week! 

 

SISTAR releases full album and "Give It To Me" MV


?

The "Give It To Me" MV release had me torn. On one hand, I'm in love with SISTAR's moulin rouge concept - I mean, no group can pull off the glitter without looking like Ke$ha quite as well as these ladies.

 

But the lyrics. Gurl, if you're crying all day to the extent that you don't even know whether it's daytime or nighttime, you're going to need professional help. 

 

My advice? Snuggle up with a pint of Ben and Jerry's, watch a gross sappy chick-flick (think "The Notebook"), and call it a day. 

 

Daniel Henney and Chris Hemsworth featured in 'High Cut' 

 

Thor and Agent Zero were together. If you don't understand these references, I'm afraid we could never be friends. Their mothers deserve some kind of reward for bringing them into the world. 

 

Singer Jessica H.o. accused of assaulting a woman


If you haven't heard, singer Jessica H.o., along with two of her friends, was accused of assaulting a Ms. Choi (32) at a nightclub in Itaewon. 
Apparently, Jessica and her friends caused multiple injuries during the brawl. 

 

I'm so confused. I only thought chick fights took place in movies... or prisons. The charges were eventually dropped

 

After School pole dances for their "First Love" MV

I won't lie - watching this MV was mildly traumatizing. And uncomfortable. Super uncomfortable. 

 

As for some of our male staff members, I swear they probably have the pole dancing sequences memorized already. 

 

?CL criticized for wearing swimsuit outfit on Inkigayo


On the June 9 broadcast of 'SBS Inkigayo', CL performed "The Baddest Female" wearing a colorful jacket over a white swimsuit. Some viewers expressed their discontent with her choice, while her fans valiantly defended her. 

 

We all know that CL isn't conservative when it comes to some of her outfits. And with such an explosive on-stage presence, can we really complain? 

 

CL expressed that she doesn't feel pressured wearing revealing clothing, and so I don't understand why some people were blowing this out of proportion. She feels comfortable - let her be. Can you imagine if we received this type of criticism and scrutiny for some of the clothes we chose to wear? Oh man, I would get blasted so hard for wearing my ahjumma pants all the time.
