TWICE‘s Hirai Momo recently shared her candid thoughts on participating in the mega crew mission alongside Osaka Ojo Gang on Mnet’s World Street Woman Fighter. She addressed fans’ questions via the Bubble app, including why only the “unnie line” (Momo, Sana, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Jihyo) appeared on the show. According to Momo, the invitation came from Osaka Ojo Gang, who expressed interest in having them join. “I asked all the members, but we were really busy individually, so it ended up being just the unnie line,” she explained. “Despite our packed schedules, the older members stepped up, and I gave it…

Have you ever been listening to a K-Pop song you really like and decide to look up the lyrics, only to realize that they have a much different tone than you expected? There are a lot of K-Pop songs with subtle (or not-so-subtle) innuendos and sexual undertones, though some of them are more blatant than others! Here are 24 K-Pop songs that are pretty obviously about sex in some regard, some of which are more obvious in the titles while others might be more suprising. 1. “Make A Wish (Birthday Song)” (English Version) by NCT U Lyrics sample: “Sweet tooth,…

RH Tokyo, one of the featured crews on Mnet’s World Street Woman Fighter (WSWF), is facing intense backlash from Korean viewers following their recent Mega Crew Mission performance. The controversy centers on claims that the stage included imagery reminiscent of the Rising Sun Flag, a symbol heavily associated with Japanese imperialism and historical trauma in Korea.

K-pop can often be a microcosm of confusion. The newly debuted BE BOYS have nothing to do with the soon-to-premiere survival series B:MY BOYZ, but you’d be forgiven for making the easy mistake. Up until about a week ago, I assumed the two were one and the same. Instead, this rookie group is the first act to come from OAK Company — an entity I’ve never heard of but assume is stationed within some huge tree, Gummi Bears style. They’ve debuted with a track whose title recalls one of K-pop’s most iconic hooks, which has to be intentional, right? The…
