Best of the Worst: May 19, 2016

Today is a very special edition of Best of the Worst.

It's my last edition.

Best of the Worst: May 12, 2016

A kpop group got its own Twitter emoji! That's great, and we should be happy, right?

Well, unfortunately, it had to happen to the group with the most annoying fanbase: BTS.

Fuuu---

Seriously, any other group would have been preferable.

Best of the Worst: April 29, 2016

Best of the Worst has reached its apex. Sadly, it can only go down from here. And it's not because of iKON's tragic photoshoot or CL's revealing instagram post.

It's because of cats.

More specifically, it's because of SHINyan — a cat version of SHINee that was created to stand in for the real SHINee in Japan because they're so busy.

Bias wreckers and couch shredders

Best of the Worst: April 14, 2016

This week, Gyuri dropped a bombshell: KARA is not dead! 

OK, well, maybe the group is. It all depends on how you view the situation. If you're like me, you'd consider a group whose members are at different agencies doing their own things as "disbanded." If you're positive and life-affirming like Gyuri, you'd consider that group alive and well.

Best of the Worst: April 7, 2016

This week in shitty kpop news, we discover which boy and girl group members are like siblings, which entertainer's wealth increased 250 percent in a month, and which idol has impressive chugging skills.

Best of the Worst: March 31, 2016

I've written before about my obsession with Seolhyun's cardboard cutout of herself. Well, today I found out that not only do they sell for three times what it cost to make the original (about $87 now), but they're also available for purchase!

Finally, a chance for Seolhyun to come hither at me.

Naturally, I tried to see if there were any on Amazon. But alas, there were none. Amazon did have some snazzy other cutouts, though. Might have to get me one of those.

Best of the Worst: March 24, 2016

This week, we've got an idol who's impressed by a shower, a girl group member you can't take anywhere, and an uncomfortable situation with Seolhyun.

Well aren't you nice? Now please, get the fuck off me.

Best of the Worst: March 17, 2016

Hello kpop lovers and random passersby. In today's edition of Best of the Worst, we've got grannies dancing to kpop, the creepiest idol group idea ever, and Hyunseung continuing his streak of being problematic.

Best of the Worst: March 10, 2016

Hello friends, and welcome to the drunk idols edition of Best of the Worst! I didn't intend this week to have a theme; it just happened that way. So anyway, please enjoy the following pickings, which include obnoxious cross-dressing, Eunji's hot workout, and TWO stories involving idols with soju.

Drunk Sulli is all of us who just don't give anymore fucks.

Best of the Worst: Feb. 25, 2016

Something terrible has happened to one of our most important idols: AOA (aka "Good") Jimin. It was revealed this week that someone is trying to kill her!

And by kill her, I mean her career. Because why else would the latest teaser for her upcoming solo look like this:

What even? Why??


Why, Mommy, why?

Best of the Worst: Feb. 18, 2016

Hello, readers! Welcome back to Best of the Worst, where we condense your shitty kpop news into easily digestible bites. Mmmmmmm.

Anywho ...

Question: Would you help crowdfund your faves' comeback? And if so, which group would you give money to?

Best of the Worst: Feb. 4, 2016

Kpop's been all about ugly realities this week. I don't know why. If I wanted reality, I wouldn't be listening to all this kpop. But yeah, in this edition of Best of the Worst, you'll learn Big Bang's boring reality, the truth about 4Minute's latest album sales, and what those hot high heels do to your favorite female idols' bodies. 

Oh, yeah, and CL makes an appearance:

People still wear grills? It's 2016.

Reality is really scary sometimes.

Best of the Worst: Jan. 21, 2016

Kpop tackled some deep, philosophical issues this week. After wading through all that substance, I was left with a few questions for you, readers, such as:

• Would you turn down a billionaire's proposal of marriage even if you just met him once and didn't like him?
• If you were going to petition a kpop media outlet for something, who would it be and why?
• And does using the same filter as someone mean you're humping behind the scenes?

Deep.

Best of the Worst: Jan. 14, 2016

This week, Kris (aka Wu Yi Fan) made one step closer to full world domination. The former Exo slave member will participate in this year's NBA All-Star Celebrity Game next month. Kris will play for Team Canada and will be coached by Drake (true story).

Kris: Idol, future billionaire, balla

Best of the Worst: Jan. 7, 2016

How's 2016 treating everyone? Are you kicking its ass, or are you more the Irene to its Wendy?

Well, anyway, this week we've got a nugu with a sugar daddy, an embarrassing kpop crossover, and an idol who used to be a sasaeng.

Best of the Worst: Dec. 31, 2015

Welcome, friends, to the last Best of the Worst of 2015. So what's been going on in kpop in the final week of the year? Fans getting outraged about stupid shit, of course.

Yes, TVXQ fans have been cry-crying about iKON's fandom light sticks, which are the same orangey-red color as their beloved group's. It seems that by being a similar color, the iKON sticks are fucking with the integrity of kpop and "disrupting the peace" between fandoms.

I think it's time to call in Officer Yura to maintain the peace. 

Best of the Worst: Dec. 10, 2015

It begins. Year-end lists are starting to roll out for 2015, and with them, so many objectively wrong opinions.

Or in the case of YouTube's most played list, so much bad taste.

A list that is as good as it is diverse

Best of the Worst: Nov. 19, 2015

I was sitting alone in my room today, like I often do, meticulously Photoshopping my favorite Exo members into "Star Wars" scenes, when I thought to myself: "There's got to be an easier way for a girl to fulfill her Exo/'Star Wars' fetish."

Thankfully, SM and Disney — in an unholy collaboration for the ages — recently gifted us with this not-at-all-creepy photoshoot:

This pic alone is enough to supply
my prolific fanfic writing for the next decade.

Just think of all the role playing ...

and lightsaber crossing ...

Best of the Worst: Nov. 12, 2015

Hello again, friends, and apologies for skipping out on last week's Best of the Worst. We're back with this week's shittiest kpop news, including someone who likes Namjoo a little too much, a girl group who wants you to calm the fuck down at the airport, and idols who look cute in glasses:

Hyominnie didn't make the list, but she should have.

Best of the Worst: Oct. 29, 2015

And if they aren't, well that's really a "you" problem, isn't it?
