Stirring Emotions

Some new photos have once more sent Hyo-lee’s popularity through the roof. This is certainly better for the Korean Wave than Hyo-lee herself going through the roof, which nearly happened last time.

    Those goofy staged cardboard-emotion unsexy photos have made her MORE popular? I don’t get it.

    Sonagi, because they are ’safe’. It’s as if they both don’t want to be there. If their faces had shown any real emotions (ie. lust), the pictures would have had the opposite effect. In spite of all the love motels, prostitutes, massage parlors, hostess bars, softcore porn on TV, nudie pictures in sports newspapers, and being infamous as some of the biggest downloaders of hardcore porn in Asia… Koreans still think that sex is a taboo, particularly for unmarried women.

    Koreans still think sex is taboo…
    Unlike those other people who talk to their parents about some guy they just banged.

    “Netizens are all aflutter, with some speculating that Lee, who fell out of favor with the press when she turned up late for a press conference, is hoping to attract publicity to follow up on her comeback with her first song in eight months, “Toc Toc Toc.””

    Netizens = Korean adolescents

    Forgive my poor Konglish skills….but isn’t “toc toc toc” a slang term for masturbation? The times sure are a changing from the days when Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar On Me” was banned in Korea.
