Article: Jonghyun clarifies dating rumors with Kyungri "Saw a movie with a friend"
Source: Star News via Naver
1. [+1,468, -101] I thought the article meant he was dating his company's accountant at first (Kyungri means accountant in Korean)
2. [+1,296, -94] Like Lee Joon said, the idol world is an animal kingdom
3. [+1,110, -162] I don't think they're dating. He was quick to admit his dating scandal with Shin Se Kyung but he's straight to the point with this one so no worries.
4. [+753, -46] Don't really know who she is
5. [+729, -59] Let these young celebrities just enjoy themselves instead of slapping on dating rumors
6. [+703, -99] Why are the SHINee kids hooking up with girls like her, now Jonghyun after Onew
7. [+551, -61] Why does he have so many dating scandals
8. [+407, -54] First IU and now Jonghyun... Let them watch their movies with their friends. You all act as if you don't have friends of the opposite gender.
9. [+338, -37] So yeah, who's Kyungri
10. [+307, -26] SM's accountant? ㅋㅋㅋ

Article: Nine Muses introduced on the Billboard "Turned back the hearts of even our international antis"
Source: TV Report via Naver [original Billboard article here]
"Nine Muses has been able to raise not only their own status but Hallyu's status in North America. Their effort has made even international antis who hated Hallyu change their minds."
1. [+100, -12] They don't even have Korean fans, how do they expect to have international antis...
2. [+97, -14] Billboard does so much media play
3. [+91, -8] Nine Muses has a cheap image that seems like they're meant to just perform at college events but if you pick them apart, they've all gone through long training years and work hard on their dancing and singing. I was really surprised by the documentary because I thought they were a group just hastily put together but they're actually all quite experienced and skilled. The problem is that their company works them to death at events which gives them a cheap image. I want them to do as well as ZE:A by doing well on variety shows...
4. [+82, -4] This article was written by columnist Jeff Benjamin who's also praised G-Dragon, Psy, TEEN TOP, Lee Hi, Girl's Day, Lee Seung Gi, INFINITE, MFBTY, 2NE1... I think he's just a columnist in charge of writing Korean content and making cash off of it... For all we know, he could be a Korean American with an English name?
5. [+61, -3] These girls really did suffer a lot, though, especially that Sera girl
6. [+51, -4] I attended the same church as Sera in Canada. She was a main in our choir before going to Korea to become a singer ㅋㅋㅋ She was really nice but also chubby so all of us almost fainted out of shock when we saw how much weight she lost and how much she got prettier ㅋㅋㅋ
7. [+49, -3] I like Nine Muses but their image is a bit on the cheap side... Their lives seemed okay but their image concept leans too much focus on them being models with great bodies ㅠㅠ Sera's the jjang
8. [+47, -2] I like their songs, I wonder why they aren't doing well.. Is it because they're geared towards the 20s-30s?

Article: Kyungri sues netizen for online sexual harassment "I won't hold back anymore"

Kyungri also means bookkeeper/accountant in Korean.
1. [+1,003, -46] Man, I was wondering why the company bookkeeper was being harassed by a netizen
2. [+448, -10] That netizen is just going to say he didn't mean it and that he's actually a fan once the lawsuit gets serious
3. [+415, -41] What the fu*k, I thought the company bookkeeper was the one being harassed
4. [+59, -1] Good taking legal action. Don't go easy on him and press full charges.
5. [+43, -1] Obviously the netizen gave up being human so why treat him like one? Release his personal information and give him max punishment so others can't follow suit
6. [+29, -2] The best replies are reminding me of when Kyungri first joined Nine Muses and all the posts about her were titled "A pretty Kyungri has joined Nine Muses" and "Kyungri in Nine Muses is pretty" ㅋㅋ People started commenting "Why does their company bother spending resources on promoting their bookkeeper?" "What's the point of having a pretty bookkeeper?" and "She could probably join a better company, why is she bookkeeping for a girl group?"
