[NEWS] Eat Your Kimchi Reviews U-KISS' "DORADORA"

This week for Eat Your Kimchi's Music Monday, Simon and Martina reviewed U-KISS' "DORADORA." 

After returning from their Japanese promotions, it is great to see that U-KISS has finally made their Korean comeback. 

While they liked the chorus of "DORADORA," they felt that the overall song wasn't as attention grabbing as their previous songs "Neverland" and "Tic Tac."

As for the music video, U-KISS seems to have one of the strangest rooms ever. While Simon & Martina's usual complaint is that groups share the same love interest in the video, they all seem to be sharing the same room, couch and bed in this one.

[NEWS] U-Kiss Dong Ho Spends a Lonely Night With Cereal

U-Kiss Dong Ho lays bare the sad life of an idol. On the night of February 29, he posted to his Twitter, "The other members are having a good time filming, but...it's just past 9PM here in Japan. I was told that underage people cannot participate in the filming. So, I'm here alone eating some corn flakes. Guys, hurry and come back." Along with his Tweet, he posted a sad looking picture of himself eating cereal.

The cereal bowl, is actually the bowl that is often used for miso soup in Japan. This time, instead of miso, it's filled with cornflakes. Dong Ho looks so lonely here, with his lips pressed to the bowl. Perhaps it's a way to get some sympathy from nuna fans. Korean idols are busy running back and forth between Japan and Korea. But here, one young idol patiently waits until his older members return home. For netizens who took a peek at his picture, the responses were, "Oh my. How cute! I could just eat you up. Don't you need some strawberries with that cereal?" and "I haven't eaten cereal in a long time, now I want some."

[NEWS] U-Kiss’ DongHo Disses then Apologizes to Block B

U-Kiss’ Dong Ho made headlines earlier today for a tweet he wrote, which had obvious implications to Block B’s controversial interview that recently took place in Thailand.

On February 20, Dong Ho wrote, “An artist worth 7,000 won.” It was in reference to Block B’s comment during their interview with Thai media, where Block B’s leader Zico was quoted as saying, "We wish financial rewards could help healing people's damaged hearts, because all we got is money. About 7000 won?"

However, shortly after the tweet, netizens advised Dong Ho to take down the message, as it would only make things worse for Block B, who’s already released an official apology for their comments. Dong Ho later tweeted, “I think I tweeted without thinking too deeply. I’ll be more careful moving forward,” and deleted his previous post.

Block B was seen goofing around and making inappropriate gestures during a televised interview with Thai media. Shortly after Zico’s comments were made public, 2PM’s Nichkhun, Junho, and Chansung, as well as rapper Tiger JK criticized Block B and sent messages of support to all the Thai people.
