No more “Level With Me” with Nicole on Star Golden Bell?

We reported on KBS2TV's reorganization of it's fall programs recently, which saw Kim Jae Dong exiting Star Golden Bell after four long years, and being replaced by former MC, Ji Suk Jin. But we weren't counting on another change within the program a week later.

In a fancam of the Star Golden Bell recording on the 19th, it was noted that Nicole was appearing as a guest. Many are associating Kim Jae Dong's departure with the cancellation of her segment, Level With Me. It's just a rumor at the moment about her status but the truth will be out this Saturday, 24th October.

Park Bom had eyelid surgery?

2NE1's Park Bom is often accused by netizens to have gotten eyelid surgery, on top of many facial enhancements. Unlike many others of the Asian descent, her eyelids are similar to Caucasian eyelids. She has a clear crease that folds intensely on her eyelid.

Many celebrities do get eyelid surgery though. Some have even admitted about going under the knife for not only their eyes, but noses, jawbones and everything else that can be altered. For example, Yuri and Baek Ji Young admitted to getting eyelid surgery and Seo In Young admitted to getting her nose done.

Eyelid surgery is done to make a crease in your eyelid so that your eyes look naturally bigger. Many Asians who feel they have smaller eyes do this to make their eyes pop out a little more. In Korea, this is considered a common 18th birthday gift. That's why it's not considered a bad thing in Korea. You're not looked down upon for getting this type of surgery, but people notice easily, especially so, if you have a surgery-gone-wrong incident.

Though Park Bom hasn't come out to clear up whether or not she has undergone surgery, people speak about her as if she's already admitted to it. Netizens commented, "She's so pretty. I just hope she doesn't do any more surgery," "I'm not an anti or a big fan but her eyes just look unnatural," "She'd be cute without the surgery."

Park Bom is known for her cute face that looks like a bunny, but do you think the pictures alone prove she's gone under the knife? Or are the netizens just desperate to pick out a flaw on this talented girl?

Goo Hara Rumored to be Plastic?

Don't we all love Goo Hara of KARA? 19 years of age, this senorita sure knows how to rock the stage. Some rage that all she has is a pretty face, but the new footage of her will blow them to outer space.

Ok, enough with the rhymes. Recently, certain footage from 2003, which shows Hara when she was younger, has been popularized by netizens. It was a documentary program made by a local television network from the town in which she grew up. The documentary shows 13 year old Hara rushing to acting lessons right after school then heading over to dancing class and practicing until late at night. "At first I wasn't used to this and my nose bled several times [from fatigue]. My family doesn't understand me but I really wanted to do this," the young Hara expresses in the documentary. "Not taking lessons make me feel insecure, so I attended even when I'm sick." She added at the end, "I might not become a celebrity, but practicing alone is enjoyable. Dreaming alone keeps me happy."

...Which is nice and makes us feel warm & fuzzy, but what's really making this clip hit the headlines is what netizens claim to be a huge contrast between Hara's appearance in the past vs present. Netizens are using this video to comment on her pre-debut looks, generating curiosity over whether this girl got plastic surgery or not. Of course, KARA fans came to Hara's rescue, claiming that the difference was due to the time gap: of course a young Hara would look different than her matured, glamoured-out self six years later. Even then, netizens were quick to argue that puberty should not drastically change eye and nose shape. Regardless of what the haters have to say, Goo Hara was and still is pretty freaking adorable.

Whether you think this is an exaggeration or possibility, Hara and KARA are planning on wrapping up their music performances soon but they'll be coming back in mid-November to steal our hearts once again.

KARA’s Koo Hara pictured with an unidentified man

A few days ago pictures of KARA member, Koo Hara, have surfaced that are causing a lot of buzz. The pictures show a younger Hara with a man at a resort. Netizens are confused and shocked as Koo Hara is still very young and the pictures are supposedly of her and a "boyfriend" alone at a "pension," a rented bungalow/villa resort. There are several photos that show her and a person that is said to be a boyfriend doing regular couple things. KARA fans are crying out "Koo Hara koo hara," as in 'save Koo Hara.' Catchy.

Still some people aren't buying the hype and feel that the photos aren't her at all.

Fellow KARA member Park Gyuri has stepped up and blogged about the disappointment of such a scandal. She blogged that "as a fellow woman, her heart breaks" for what Koo Hara is going through. KARA handlers have stated that the photos are from a while back before Koo Hara's debut while training at JYP Entertainment. The retreat included the male pictured as well as many other trainees. However, the only photos currently in circulation are only the ones of the two, giving off an inaccurate image of the bubble-headed singer... or maybe accurate depending on how you view it.

It's such a shame that this leaks with KARA's steady growing popularity and the promotion of their new song, Honey.

Thanks to BoyAboutBangkok for the heads up!
