According to the New York Times, the South Korean government is considering using the voices of Kpop girl bands to broadcast propaganda at the North Koreans.  This is for real.

In response to the sinking of one of its ships, South Korea recently erected speakers along its demilitarized zone with North Korea — to be used for propaganda broadcasts.  A South Korean newspaper reports that the government is also considering using “songs and music videos by manufactured girl bands such as Girls’ Generation, Wonder Girls, After School, Kara and 4minute in so-called psychological warfare against North Korea.” Wonder if they’ve considered Barry Manilow?

So who do the Korean boys want to date?  Netizens were asked which “Female celebrity you would most want to have a date with on Korea’s first snowfall of the year.“  Well, according to an Internet poll that was conducted last week, Jessica of the very large girl band SNSD was the winner with 30% of the 792 votes.

John Cho is a MAN!
John Cho sure had a man week. He was selected as one of People Magazine’s Sexiest Men (for the second time) and he showed up at GQ’s Men of the Year ceremony at the Chateau Marmont. And he’s having a good career year with a big part in Star Trek and on ABC’s FlashForward. Not bad for a guy who smoked pot in Harold and Kumar and coined the acronym “MILF.”

What are the hottest flats in South Korea?

Have you ever seen a Korean blonde? Did you ever wonder what a Korean woman would like in blonde? Legally Blonde the musical is opening up in South Korea and of course the actors have to be blonde. It’s starring former Miss Korea, Honey Lee (Lee Ha Ni) and Jessica of the girl band SNSD.

It’s SNSD and the Chocolate Love music video.

Perez Hilton is one of the most flamboyant and famous gossip bloggers online, and he happens to be the most outspoken American champion of the Wonder Girls, referring to them as the “reigning queens of Kpop.”  Perez Hilton has a big thing for Kpop in general, which makes you wonder how it all started.  He even has a tag for Kpop on his website, where he’s blogged about Big Bang, 2NE1, SNSD and other Kpop artists.

Perez Hilton introduces the Wonder Girls in this MTV video, and Suchin Pak interviews JYP and the Wonder Girls about life in America.

South Korea loves their girl bands.  The Wonder Girls have graduated to the U.S. market and they left behind a handful of girl bands to replace them.  Apparently the hottest girl band (or army) is SNSD, and according to Ningin, they had the second most video views on YouTube recently (second to Michael Jackson), which is pretty remarkable.  This was the first time we took a view of SNSD and we think we figured out why they’re so popular.  What do you think?  Does it seem like this look would be found at a … uh-hum, gentleman’s club?  Look at the way they kick those legs.

Pumashock is best known for doing cover of the Wonder Girls and SNSD was invited to Korea and perform on the Star King show.  Very cool.
