2PM TaecYeon on ‘couple’ performance with YoonA, “It is just for business” « K Bites.
It’s just business? A love song is just business? You whore! How much for a freakin’ half-and-half, then, TaecYon? And does your pimp JaeBom get a cut, all the way in Seattle?

Just kidding! Nobody said anything like that.

Their two-front war to conquer the world of pop continues apace, as they continue touring the United States while staying active in China. They should start thinking Bollywood soundtracks soon…

2PM, “JaeBum is forever the leader” – agrees to distribute income with JaeBum « K Bites.

It’s been 100 days since JaeBum left Korea « K Bites.
What, we’re treating this like a presidency or the Iranian hostage crisis now? Will there be “Day 102 in the JaeBom Exile – is he spinning on his head in Seattle? Stay tuned.”
Oh, who am I kidding. I love this.
Wonder Girls Tease JYP

WonderGirls does ‘Heartbeat’ with JYPark? « K Bites.
It’s an adorable clip… until JYP realizes what’s happening, takes off his belt, and whips all five girls mercilessly while yelling, “Respect my authoritah!”
Okay, that didn’t happen. So the clip is still adorable.

KARA Nicole expresses sadness on 2PM JaeBum’s situation « K Bites.
Oh, come on now! He left Korea five freakin’ years ago! Get over it already and…
What? It’s only been a few months? Really?
Well, it sure feels like it was five years ago.
JYP Wants To “Just Be A Singer” Again
December 12, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: JYP | Comments (0)
Park Jin Young reveals, “I want to just be a singer by next July” « K Bites.
Considering the pop empire he’s set up with the likes of the Wonder Girls and others, I have to wonder how realistic a statement this is. We’ll see in six months, I guess.
JYP Doesn’t Play Well With Wonder Girls

Park Jin Young confesses, “WonderGirls and I don’t play around well these days” « K Bites.
I blame those damned Jonas Brothers!
Also: Nich Khun may be a kiss-ass, but Jo Kwon has his nose firmly housed up JYP’s rectum.

Wonder Girls Do It Barbie Style
December 6, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: JYP, Wonder Girls | Comments (0)
WonderGirls transform as ‘Barbie Girls’ for new photoshoot « K Bites.
Which in this case doesn’t mean Ken is wearing a cock ring, just that they’re doing a photoshoot in that style. It doesn’t seem very inspired, actually – but maybe that’s because I see Barbie commercials all day when I’m off. I still find it weird that Barbie ads use “Barbie Girl” now; someday the irony’s gonna smack some little girls in the face.
2PM Nich Khun Is Pretty In Pink

TOP! Part 7 – Kpop Girl Groups « Shanimuni Paradise.
Tsukiki takes a turn with the likes of Wonder Girls and SNSD, explaining how she first heard of them and how her opinions evolved in some cases. It’s an interesting read, and actually a pretty decent primer if you wanna jump into the Kpop thing yourself.
As for suggestions for future lists, how about Favorite Neil Young Songs? I’d be interested, at least.

TaecYeon’s fan leaves him a ‘bloody’ message « K Bites.
So yes, there were worse alternatives than writing a mash note in blood. And in that weird, extenuating manner, we can praise this fan for showing a little restraint.

November 26, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
2PM, “The title ‘1:59PM’ means that we are waiting for JaeBum hyung” « K Bites.
Okay, either the remaining members of 2PM know something concrete about JaeBom’s plans to return (which is possible, I’ll admit), or one of them – any of them – needs to grow a pair and take charge.
JYPE “Feel Bad” For Exploiting JaeBom Exile
November 25, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
JYP on tvN E News coverage of JaeBum, “We feel bad” « K Bites.
If they feel so bad, why do I hear faint echoes of people laughing all the way to the bank?

November 21, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
[MAMA] “JaeBum was with 2PM!” « K Bites.
An empty spotlight to represent him? Why not just take it the whole nine yards?
Wonder Girls Shill BBQ Chicken
November 19, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: JYP, Wonder Girls | Comments (0)
WonderGirls’ new BBQ Chicken CF released « K Bites.
Must resist… must… resist…
Oh, fuck it. Will somebody please make an edited version of these commercials where the drumsticks are penises or dildos? Because I’m sure most everyone thought of that when they saw these clips.
Some Behind-The-Scenes Wonder Girls

Go behind the scene and have a little fun with the WonderGirls! « K Bites.
That one shot of So Hee glaring at the camera is sooooo sexy! Something about pissing her off is just so attractive, I don’t know why.
2PM Called JaeBom Before Comeback Stage
November 17, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
JaeBum was with 2PM for their comeback stage « K Bites.
On the one hand, this is cute. Poignant, even.
On the other hand, it’d be a good idea if somebody of the remaining six would finally grow a pair.
2PM Doing Fine Without JaeBom
November 16, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
2PM dominating Monkey3 online weekly music chart « K Bites.
So are there still boycotts going on, is there still rampant discontent being stirred up by the People’s Front Of JaeBom? At any rate, it doesn’t seem to matter as the boys are doing just fine in their own leaderless way.
Also, best as I can tell Monkey3 is neither a bestiality nor a plushie site.
6-nin 2PM Won’t Designate New Leader
November 14, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
JYP on 6-member 2PM, “There will be no new leader member” « K Bites.
It’s almost as absurdist as “Waiting For Godot”.
JYP Speaks Up On JaeBom’s Return
November 12, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
Park Jin Young, “JaeBum will return. When he does, he will return as 2PM” « K Bites.
As expected, a lot of hedging with no fixed date given. However, some good things came out of his statement: confirmation that if JaeBom returns it will be with 2PM and not solo; and a clear understanding of the gravity of the situation that led to this fiasco in the first place.
JYP Will Speak Officially On JaeBom
November 10, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
Park Jin Young to speak up officially about JaeBum’s future plans on MBC Golden Fishery « K Bites.
Chances are, there won’t be any definite statements on if or when JaeBom will come back, just a lot of hedging and ass-covering. However, it never hurts to cross your fingers and say a prayer so that Korea’s long national idol nightmare will finally be over.
Well, this one, at least.
Wonder Girls Return To America
November 9, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: JYP, Wonder Girls | Comments (0)
The WonderGirls are now in the States! « K Bites.
Word has it that So Hee was going to be offered up as a human sacrifice to make JaeBom return to Korea, except they found out “Seven Minutes In Heaven” with a Jonas disqualified her for that role.
2PM Comeback Stage On November 15
November 9, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
2PM comeback stage on 15th November! Comeback title track to be released on 10th « K Bites.
So wait, if you calculate the time it takes to travel to Korea from Seattle plus the time difference plus going through customs, that means JaeBom will… still be State-side on the fifteenth, since I really doubt he’s going to be a part of this.
2PM WAS Crazy About You…
November 6, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
2PM reveals new teaser ‘I Was Crazy About You’ « K Bites.
I like the past tense of this – they used to be crazy about you but not anymore? Hey, could this be a veiled reference to JaeBom – saying they used to care for him but no longer? Ohhhh snap! That must sting even all the way in Seattle!
Wonder Girls Return To States
November 3, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: JYP, Wonder Girls | Comments (0)
The WonderGirls to return to the States this weekend « K Bites.
They’d only been back in Korea for two weeks and are already returning to America for more promotions? Holy crap, that’s hardcore.
JaeBom’s Likeness Found On Toast And Assorted Vegetables
November 3, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
HOTTESTS set out to find the real meaning of ‘Tired of Waiting’ « K Bites.
So 2PM announced the title of its new song and fans think it may refer to JaeBom’s imminent return to the country and the group. Of course.
And then there’s the fans who suspect that JYP is just yanking around people’s expectations for the sake of marketing. Which sounds likely to me, but I’m a bit of a cynic. Heretic? Whatever.
2PM Countdown To Comeback Announcement
November 1, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
And the countdown to 2PM’s comeback begins! « K Bites.
And of course, the looming question is whether or not JaeBom is returning as a part of this big announcement. If he isn’t, there’ll be a lot of disappointment. If he is, then the Popular Jaebom Front will feel vastly empowered and probably demand he be made Emperor Of All Pop Music or something.
People’s Front Of JaeBom Try New Tactics
October 30, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
It’s actually insulting for fans to think that they can just BUY the return of JaeBom, as if he left because of financial concerns or is staying away in the hopes of getting a raise. JYP should just spend that money on a 24 karat yacht or something.
WonderGirls Interview with Sina
October 30, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: JYP, Wonder Girls | Comments (0)
WonderGirls for Sina interview in China « K Bites.
Some great shots of the girls – though blonde So Hee leaves me feeling meh – and a pretty thorough transcript of the actual interview, with mentions of the Jonas Brothers and Jordin Sparks, and the difficulties of living in America and on tour. Again, the work ethic of these girls never fails to impress.
JaeBom Still Has Five Years In Contract
October 30, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
JYP to keep contract with JaeBum, “Time is the problem” « K Bites.
It seems fair enough to have JYP hold JaeBom to the full seven-year contract, if only to make sure he doesn’t sign somewhere else and become competition. Still, this doesn’t strike me as being particularly relevant to guesses on his return. I mean, he left Korea while under contract obligation, so who’s to say he’ll come back because of contractual obligation?
K Bites Breaks Down The Members Of Idol Groups
October 29, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2AM, 2PM, 4Minute, f(x), Girls Generation, JYP, Kara, SM, T-ara, Wonder Girls | Comments (0)
Here’s a real fun article that looks at the different types of idols that can make up an idol group. I’m disappointed that Lady doesn’t get a mention under the Trans-Idols category, but I’m not even sure if they’re still active anyway.
Paper Flowers To Lure JaeBom Back To Korea?
October 27, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
Hottests express their wish for JaeBum’s return through paper roses « K Bites.
You know who else use flowers to make people share their way of thinking? Hare Krishnas.
JaeBom Can’t Speak A Word To Korean Press
October 26, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
Most recent of JaeBum revealed on KBS ‘Sunday Night’ « K Bites.
I just realized this, based on how he spoke to the Korean TV crew – maybe he’s under contractual obligation to keep quiet? A gag order of some sort, or an NDA?
… Or am I just falling into conspiracy mode?
Holy Relic Of JaeBom Fetches Top Dollar
October 24, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
2PM JaeBum’s AAA outfit fetches high price at star charity sales « K Bites.
I shouldn’t be so snarky since this was for charity… but come on, you know it’s like buying a scarf Elvis sweated on once, or a hash pipe that Keith Moon once swallowed whole and vomited up.
We Await Silent JaeBom’s Empire
October 23, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: 2PM, JYP | Comments (0)
Park JaeBum confesses his feelings on broadcast show « K Bites.
JaeBom speaks! Sorta. Well, he left a message at least.
And Lord knows, the JaeBomists will take every word and parse its meaning and find hidden layers of meaning and hints towards his second coming or something. The fun never ends.

Wonder Girls To Release Mandarin Nobody
October 23, 2009 | Ray Mescallado | Tags: JYP, Wonder Girls | Comments (0)
WonderGirls to unleash Mandarin version of ‘Nobody’, eyeing the Chinese market « K Bites.
Having made significant in-roads on the American market, the Wonder Girls are now setting their sites on the Chinese market. If they apply the same hard work and dedication they showed in the States, they should fare just as well in this next stop to world domination.
