Eunjung’s “missing” lower body inspires a slew of netizen parodies

The latest netizen craze online (in addition to mashing up idol group members’ faces) seems to have started with a simple screenshot of T-ara’s Eunjung from the reality show, “T-ara Dream Girls“. She was crouching on the floor with the rest of the girls, but because of her position and the camera angle, it looked as if she was missing a lower body!

As to be expected, some creative netizens have run with the idea, and photoshopped her body. They’ve transformed Eunjung into a park bench, a playground toy, a mother duck, and a game character; they even gave her wheels! These parodies have been receiving positive feedback from the rest of the online community, with some commenting, “The idea of these fans is great,” and “How did you think of this?” and finally, “If there were a missing upper body, what kind of parody would come out?”

Korean celebrities in Japan assure fans they’re alright

Japan was just hit by a massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake, and they’ve issued tsunami warnings for both the local populace and 53 other nations.

The devastation has caused global concern, and the international community is reaching out to Japan, especially for those who have loved ones on the island nation.

Knowing that 2NE1 recently went over to Japan to promote their Japanese debut, fans have flooded YG Entertainment with questions about whether they were ok.

An official from YG Entertainment confirmed that the girl group were fine. “We are not able to directly contact the members [by phone] probably due to the earthquake causing problems with transmission. Just now, we received news from another affiliated individual within Tokyo that the girls were safe.”

2NE1 was planning to appear on Asahi TV’s “Music Station“ program to promote their upcoming debut. Because of the natural disaster, however, affiliated individuals stated , “There is no news of whether or not the schedule with ‘Music Station’ will continue.”

Meanwhile, KARA has also been confirmed to be safe. Should airports resume full operations, they will return to Korea on March 12th, as planned. Other Korean celebrities, including The Boss, JYJ’sJunsu, Shin Min Ah, Han Hyo Joo and Kim Jung Hoon have also assured fans that they are safe as well.

We know that many K-pop fans are concerned about their idols, but we ask that they also spare some concern for the Japanese people as well, as they are experiencing a devastating national disaster.
