Allkpop | New SNSD menu in Chinese restaurant becomes controversial



A Chinese restaurant in Korea recently revealed a new menu using the names of the SNSD girls.

The menu lists nine different combos, all of which are recommended by the head chef. The most expensive meal is the “Yoona Set” which goes for $20 USD, while the cheapest is the “Sunny Set” for $12 USD.

The menu was first uploaded by a netizen on Twitter, and has been spreading rapidly through retweets. Many netizens believe that the menu is offensive and sexually suggestive because of the way it’s worded and presented.

Netizens commented, “I want to eat it once“, “I’d like to eat them all in turn“, “I wonder what their reasoning behind the prices are“, “How can they make a menu out of someone’s name?“, and “SNSD would feel dirty if they saw this.”

Is their marketing stratagem offensive or clever? Let us know what you think!

Allkpop | Super Junior's Heechul visits Kangin


Back in July, Super Junior member Kangin began his mandatory 2 year military service by enlisting in the army. Besides making a surprise appearance at Super Show 3 in August, Kangin has been pretty much out of the spotlight.

Earlier today, twitter sensation and fellow Super Junior member Heechul uploaded a photo of himself where he recently visited Kangin.

Heechul also wrote: (Note: Had to do a general translation, as it’s hard to translate the emotions of these Korean phrases into English)

누구보다 내편이 돼주고 “형아 형아” 애교만점인 영춘이ㅋ “그냥 웃고 즐기며 살고싶어~ 요즘들어 아무도 없고 기댈곳이 없다” 란 내말에 연신 “미안 형아.. 미안해 진짜..” 거리는 겸디영춘. 내새끼임ㅋ

BoA prepares for Hollywood movie at the end of the year


When BoA made her long-awaited comeback in Korea, it was announced that she had been casted in a Hollywood dance film to be directed by Duane Adler. Adler is known to have worked for popular dance films such as Save the Last Dance and Step Up. It has recently been reported that BoA will be preparing for her upcoming debut movie at the end of the year and will start recording in early 2011.

Because of schedule conflicts with her Hurricane Venus, Copy & Paste, and SMTown concert promotions, she has been unable to prepare right away and has instead been analyzing the scenes with an acting trainer. In addition, BoA has focused on delivering the lines properly, as well as familiarizing herself with the choreography, among other things to be well prepared.

This movie project will be used as part of BoA's U.S. promotions and will be a crucial mark to her U.S. career.

Before officially focusing on her U.S. movie, she will be releasing another single in Japan and will hold another X'mas” LIVE 2010 concert on December 20th and 21st. BoA will also be appearing on three of the major broadcasting award shows held annually at the end of the year.
