john 975 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 ISSUE MAKER 2014 Translated by: john @ www.onehallyu.com – Koh Seungdeok, this year’s ‘meme king’ His daughter, whose contact with Koh got cut off after his divorce, released a statement saying, “My father has no right to be superintendent of the Seoul education office.†He then apologized in front of not his daughter but voters when he opened up his arms wide and said, “I’m sorry, my daughter!†He ended up losing the election, and his apology became a hot topic as it became parodied in many different ways. The elite lawyer Koh Seungdeok then became a laughing stock amongst even kids as he became a meme. But don’t be too sad. Isn’t bringing laughter to all of Korea something politicians should be aiming to do anyway? — Kim Buseon, this year’s soda Kim Buseon surprised people when she was involved in a physical altercation with the chairwoman of her neighborhood board. When it became revealed that the fight was over heating bills, Kim became known as the ‘martyr of heating’. When she held a press conference over the heating bill issue, netizens complained that she was holding was a designer bag and asked, “The one-piece you’re wearing is 50,000 won, the heating bill is only 30,000 won.†It eventually became an issue that involved everyone from her neighborhood board chairwoman to a Construction and Transportation Committee audit. Kim gave us quiet an excitement. — Bobby, the year’s most spirited On Mnet’s ‘Show Me The Money 3’, Bobby said, “I’ve prepared this for everyone who hates me. F*ck you.†and let out his middle finger. He then showed his buckteeth and assured everyone that he was going to win. Bobby is an idol about to debut in YG’s new group iKON, but he’s also a rapper who fits well with swearing and cussing. Every time he’s in a song, the internet gets shocked at the lyrics he raps. iKON will be debuting early next year. 2015 should be very interesting. — Triplets, casanovas of the year This year’s KBS might award their Daesang at their end of the year Entertainment Awards show to 2 year olds. Whenever Song Ilkook’s three kids Daehan, Minguk, and Manse was on an episode of ‘Superman is Back’, the ratings would go up. The 2 year olds would do aegyo like, “Auntie, please give me foodâ€, and would talk to one another about their own things to do “communicationâ€, so how can you not fall for them? They are top stars that you can watch without worrying about anything. — Seo Taeji, comeback of the year He sings in his song, “The past 90s icon, when is he going to come back? I’m hesitatingâ€, and the over 40 year old singer Seo Taeji has returned. The 90s is a nostalgic time for many, but to say people weren’t wary of the ‘now’ Seo Taeji given that the current market is all about hot gossip about celebrities. Seo Taeji tried wining back the public through his own charms and his music, but he was able to prove himself when he went on stage. His comeback might not have been extravagant but he did good coming back. — Yoo Byungjae, new type of celebrity of the year “I am very sorry because who am I that all of you take time in your day to care about me.†This statement released by SNL Korea writer Yoo Byungjae after a dating scandal shows a lot about his character. He is childish and has no strength not does have any popularity. However, through his acknowledgment of his weaknesses, he became a commercial model, representative of No Smoking, and a famous regular on reality shows. A round of applause to someone who started his own trend of laughter. — Lee Byunghun, hand-written letter of the year He wrote each character as carefully as he could. His tone was very respectful, and his handwriting was cool. The problem was that it was a letter of apology to his fans for the scandal of girls blackmailing the actor. It was disappointing that he had to promise he would treat his wife better in a letter to his fans, and his image just continued to deteriorate as more time went by. The only thing a top star did to save himself was write a letter. He should’ve just typed the letter out; at least then, his hand would’ve hurt less. — Lee Yuri, the year’s main character Lee Yuri played Yeon Minjung in the MBC drama ‘Jang Bori is Here!’ where she committed a crime that led to an attempted murder. Still, her character screamed out “Try to find anyone who has worked harder than I have!â€. Lee Yuri was able to play this character so well without any trouble. Her secret? She said, “I don’t think of myself as human, I just act.†The result was that “Wow! Jang Bori is here!†became known as “Wow! Yeon Minjung is here!†— Jessica, chief designer of the year “Being an entertainer is in my blood, but so is being in the fashion industry.†With this, Jessica left the group SNSD, a group she’d in for seven years. Unlike with Luhan and Kris, this was a decision made by the company. She officially announced her position as a designer and recently even sang with American rapper Ja Rule. Can Jessica succeed as a designer without the SNSD glow? Remembering what she’s given us through SNSD, we can only have good hopes for her. — Hyeri, the year’s one-hit Just three seconds can change someone’s life. On ‘Real Man’, the day she was leaving the training grounds, she expressed her hardships but subtly wiggling her body and letting out aegyo with a ‘Heeng~’. The army man showed his teeth smiling, which resinated with everyone watching. It then became revealed that the army base switched the picture above their water cooler to Girl’s Day, and Hyeri recently shot a CF for 200 million won. – Don't forget to vote for your Scandal of the Year over at the OH Awards! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boooo 2,469 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 “Being an entertainer is in my blood, but so is being in the fashion industry.†With this, Jessica left the group SNSD. Mmmm i don´t think that was how it happened. Let´s try again. "I´m devastated. I hope you will nerver have to feel this kind of pain." With this, Jessica announced she was forced out of SNSD. That sounds like how i remembered it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
