Whoa.
With fingers of plagiarism already pointing, G-dragon’s “A boy” music video cuts it hairline close to the Black Eyed Pea’s “Boom Boom Pow” music video. If “imitation is a form of flattery,” then should the Black Eyed Peas be happy with the idol group member’s solo efforts?
Check out the other stills of “inspiration” for Queen Ji-yong:

Lesson learned… stay away from white pants.
Netizens are at it again as they point out G-Dragon’s little wardrobe malfunction at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA). It seems that G-Dragon’s performance at MAMA was epic enough that it not only blew away the viewers and also the seam of his pants.
Watch the video below specifically at 2:51. The camera man must have been a fanboy since it seems he could not look away from G-Dragon’s exposed region… seriously, stay away from white pants.

I could hear the fangirls screaming from here.
The SBS drama “You’re Beautiful” will have its 16th and final episode air today, November 26, 2009. Don’t cry.
For the last episode, the fake A.N.JELL came together for a second mini-concert (the first was before the drama started airing) on November 23, 2009, at Seou’s MelOn AX Hall. Fans came out to hear their on-screen oppas sing for them one last time.
It’s hard to say if “You’re Beautiful” will have a second season, as its ratings teetered around 10% throughout the series. Though Jung Chan, who plays the entertainment company president in the drama, shouted at an interview, “Jackpot! Season 2! Let’s go!” in the style of his on-screen character. Do you think it was just a joke?
Don’t you wish you could’ve seen the fake band in real life?
If you can handle fangirl screaming, check out the fancam below!
