[EDITORIAL] Regarding 'We Got Married' Idols: Differences in fan reception.
Read on UnitedKPop
Before getting started on this piece, I must admit that I have never actually watched a single episode of the South Korean programme ‘We Got Married’. However, I do know that the basic principle of the programme is that a male and a female celebrity embark upon a fake married life together for the entertainment of its viewers. This will include a wedding photoshoot and even a honeymoon amongst many other things. I recall when I first heard about the programme some time ago and was left quite perplexed by the whole thing. Having said this though, I can still understand why the programme has done so well over the years, it provides a space for viewers to fantasise, whether that be in entertaining the fact that there might actually be a real relationship forming between the two celebrities, or perhaps by allowing the viewer to put themselves in the place of the ‘wife’ or ‘husband’ of their bias.

[GET THE K-POP LOOK - UNISEX EDITION] B.A.P - 'Stop It' MV
Read on UnitedKpop
While this is not a new concept, with the song having been released almost a year ago now, the fashion for B.A.P’s ‘Stop It’ is perfect for the changing of the seasons. It is around this time of year (especially in Britain) when the weather is slowly adjusting from a slight mugginess to cold, but still not really settling on either. It may leave many of us pondering what to wear to suit it without being too hot or too cold.

[EDITORIAL] Male Aegyo: A form of power or pressure?
Read on UnitedKpop
‘Aegyo’ is something that might be seen as quite strange by us British viewers. I remember trying to explain it to my Mother once and then realising how very unusual a concept it is. For those that are not familiar, ‘Aeygo’ is the Korean name for acting cute. Many K-Pop fans will be familiar with it as South Korean celebrities are often expected to partake in the act on variety shows and are either praised if they can do it, or berated if they cannot.
