Did Nicole’s mother seek out JYJ’s Jaejoong for advice?

A Japanese media outlet has made headlines for stirring up some drama, accusing Nicole’s mother of going to JYJ’s Jaejoong for advice regarding KARA and their recent controversy.

This media outlet stated that the two were spotted frequently dining together at Nicole’s mother’s restaurant, “Red Kitchen”, while conversing with serious expressions.

One piece of evidence that the tabloid is claiming is that many famous celebrities, including SNSD and others, have left autographs in the restaurant. Out of these, Jaejoong’s says, “The food is so delicious. Thank you”, with a picture taken of him and Nicole’s mother.

Furthermore, they claim that, “Jaejoong and Nicole’s mother have a very close relationship, which is why he goes to the restaurant so often. Nicole is not only close with Jaejoong, but also with the other members of JYJ as well. They were all spotted dining together in Japan.”

However, Korean netizens who have heard this rumor are saying, “This is an outrageous claim”, “I’m suspicious that this may be a way to show negative feelings against Hallyu”, and “Reports without any evidence need to be stopped”.

Won Bin gets asked about the KARA controversy in Japan

Actor Won Bin ran into an uncomfortable situation with the press in Japan regarding KARA’s recent controversy.

While attending the 22nd International Jewelry Awards in Tokyo on January 26th, Won Bin was given a special award. However, during his interview, one of the reporters asked him if he was aware of the KARA controversy, catching the actor seriously off-guard with the off-topic question.

Won Bin was unable to hide his perplexed and surprised expressions, and this clip has started to make the rounds on Youtube.

After viewing this clip, fans are criticizing the thoughtless behavior of the Japanese reporters. Understandably though, since both Won Bin and KARA are Korean celebrities, it may seem like an acceptable question. However, because the two are totally unrelated, and have no ties whatsoever, the majority of people seem to be displeased with the line of questioning.

The award that was given to Won Bin this year was given to actor Lee Byung Hun last year, and it was presented by the ex-prime minister Hatoyama Yukio’s wife, Miyuki. Because of his similar looks to Japanese star Kimura Takuya, Won Bin has been coined the “Korean Kimura Takuya”.
