Fan letters and gifts thrown in the trash have caused controversy for boy group ZE:A.
A citizen living near the group’s dorm had this to say,
“There were the fan letters and gifts in the trash. The letters looked as if they were not even opened. Some of the packages simply had the gifts inside taken out and then tossed.”
After seeing the pictures netizens commented,
“It looks like there is a problem with young idols these days” and “Throwing away letters fans had worked hard on is a bit too much.”
This news has become a hot topic on net portals and on the 14th, the management of the group gave this statement to fan cafes,
“ZE:A loves and appreciates its fans very much. Management and the group try to read all the letters they can. Currently the group has been very busy with its schedule and preparing for the new album. We believe that in the groups absence a cleaning crew came into the dorm and threw the letters and gifts out. We apologize for this situation and will make sure it does not happen again.”
Are these guys becoming Ringo Starr?
Peace and Love. Peace and Love.
Idol group’s fan letters tossed away? Credit: KBites
There is a great interest forming in between the netizens about the stack of fan letters sent by the fans to an idol group discovered thrown away, and tossed around in a local trash area.
There are about 10 photos circulating around the web depicting unopen fan letters and gifts thrown away next to the bottles and the recycled trash. There is even a pack of strawberries sent by a fan rolling around with the trash.
The netizen who had posted these pictures on the 13th, wrote “I live near this group’s dorm room.” After introducing herself, she wrote “Beside a few fan letters, most are not open and were thrown away. For the gifts, everything else was thrown away except for the things inside.”
On this post, netizens commented, “What would the kids who spent nights to write a good letter think,” “If they were going to throw it away, they shouldn’t have left a trace, how come they don’t even have the respect of enclosing the letters.” There are also rumors going around that this all just a “noise-marketing” to raise the popularity of this new group.
According to the management, they stated, “While they were away from the dorm rooms, the cleaning company was here and this act had occurred.”
SooYoung, “I wish to undergo plastic surgery for my face”
So Nyeo Shi Dae SooYoung reveals the part of her body which she wants to undergo plastic surgery for.
SooYoung was on SBS ‘Shin DongYeop’s 300′ aired on 14th March. The episode features 300 newcomer entertainers where they talked truthfully about the topics discussed on the show.
And when it came to the topic of plastic surgery, Sooyoung revealed, “I wish to undergo plastic surgery for my face. I have big cheeks. It would be good if I can lose those.”
Meanwhile, it was revealed that 210 out of the 300 newcomer entertainers present on the show did not undergo plastic surgery.
SooYoung commented, “Because I have been promoting as an entertainer since elementary school, I gave up on school work. I missed the school days since I did not had much of it. I’m not savoring the campus life in college.”
Meanwhile, MBLAQ G.O who was on the show revealed an episode during his preparation to be an entertainer, “Boss Rain would not let us drink water after we practised. This is to train our mental endurance and patience.”
As of now, After School is still officially known as a 7-member girl group. But on the 15th, After School’s official website published a picture to mark their upcoming comeback. And in the photo, there are not seven but eight members.
One of the members is putting her head down and not revealing her identity fully. People are now guessing that a new member will join the group.
Thousands and thousands of fans were left clueless, excited and confused about this picture. If it does indeed mean another member will join, this will definitely make After School the most member changing group ever. I mean first UEE joins, then Soyoung leaves, then Raina and Nana join and now another?
In fact, fans are speculating that the mystery girl performing Fin.K.L’s To My Boyfriend with After School at their recent fan meeting could be the one.

Shirley and Tavia Yeung both generously admits participation in ICAC investigation
TVB General Manager Stephen Chan and Producer Ronald Chin recently have been involved in a corruption case. It was said that ICAC is suspecting TVB executives opened their own company and was targeting the first line TVB artists giving them salary pressures. The new company invites TVB artists to help a "friend" in shopping mall and ribbon cutting events for lesser pay, all proceeds go to the new company and not TVB. It was also said that there was some sexual harassment going on during variety shows towards the artists.
ICAC has approached several TVB artists for investigation. Because TVB ordered their artists to keep their mouths sealed, to avoid getting involved in the case, artists avoided the media including Linda Chung, Shirley Yeung and Tavia Yeung. Yesterday when the 3 ladies returned to TVB City, once they saw a large group of reporter standing outside, they quickly ran in. Linda Chung did "tai chi" and shook her head yelling "No" to the media. Tavia on the other hand was more relaxed and kept her mouth shut as she walked in. At a series promotional event, Shirley Yeung generously admitted that she was investigated by the ICAC.
Yesterday afternoon, Tavia and Raymond Lam arrived in TVB City to start shooting for new series <An Uninvited Date>, the two appeared relaxed. and waved to the media. After work, Tavia even calmy whistled! Then she attended the <A Fistful of Stances> promotion in Olympian City, and admitted that she accepted the ICAC investigation, but cannot reveal anything else. Asked if she worked for Stephen Chan and his assistant's company before? She said: "I don't know, usually my work is scheduled by my manager. (Have you gotten a pay reduction before?) Usually price is discussed by my manager, I don't do any of that stuff. (You are on the Stephen team, have your jobs been affected?) I am on the TVB team, fans split into teams themselves, that group there (referring to the fans live at the scene) are Tavia Yeung fans. (Have you called Stephen Chan?) No, I have never kept in touch with Stephen on the phone, but I do hope that he's okay, hope the incident can come to an end soon. (Have you been "patted on the shoulder" before at events?) My jobs are often managed by my manager, prices are also reasonable. If there is really "pat on the shoulder", I really don't know."
Once spotting the group of reporters outside of TVB city, Shirley Yeung quickly turned around and left. At the promotional event she attended, she admitted that she participated in giving the ICAC information. She said: "I was part of the investigations, but they just asked about work related questions. I know many other of my colleagues also went in for investigation, I cannot say too much right now. (Did you go back to TVB city the day before just for the ICAC investigation?) TVB called me and told me to go back. (Have you worked with the new company?) I don't know, my manager usually schedules the jobs. (Have you had a pay reduction before?) I cannot say, but my manager will help me take advantage of the best options. (Will you attend events with "pats on the shoulder"?) No."
Kara Hui was the latest guest for <Be My Guest> interview, is she worried that <Be My Guest> would be canceled? Kara expressed that she does not mind: "This is TVB's decision. (Have you had a pay reduction before?) Usual prices." Also, Producer Ho Siu Wai returned to TVB city, asked if she is also participating in the ICAC investigation? She said in an interesting way: "You'll know when you guys see the newspapers."
