Social Networking Sites Control the Ups and Downs of K-Pop Celebrities Images

Most recently, T-ARA Soyeon was caught up in a crisis for bashing another celebrity. Many believe that although she is a celebrity, she should still know her borderlines.

For celebrities, social networking sites such as twitter and Facebook are doors for opportunities and doors to crisis as well.

Use of these SNS were initially thought to be a great way for celebrities and fans to be able to interact and communicate. However, these days, it is used in a negative way.

Last July, T-ARA was caught up in a huge crisis that started with a few tweets online. The tweets seems to be bullying now ex-member Hwayoung, who later withdrew from the group.

Last November, IU was caught up with an issue with Super Junior Eunhyuk through a picture that was revealed on twitter. The picture revealed the two looking close with Eunhyuk topless and IU in what looked to be her pajamas.

Clubs were created that either defended or attacked IU as well as groups that wanted to know the truth about the picture.

There was also a crisis between Psy and Kim Jang Hoon last October.

Kim Jang Hoon had posted a message that sounded like he wanted to do suicide and many people believed that Psy had something to do with it.

Later, Kim Jang Hoon apologized for his rash behavior.

To celebrities, SNS has become a double-edged sword.

For celebrities, these SNS platforms should be places for them to bring positive and happy messages to the public and fans and not places to bash or post too personal information.

T-ara Soyeon's talking about friends, not celebrities

T-ara Soyeon's "Stitch" controversy is unfair.

T-ara's agency Core Contents Media said to media on the 22nd, "Soyeon and her friends started to talk about tigers on clothing and then Stitch, which lead to them discussing the resemblances. The girls are all clothing brand enthusiasts who graduated together and whenever they were discussing about how often their friend wears a certain brand. The name of the character Stitch being associated with the celebrity has a less than 1% chance to be true."

For the wedding part, they explained, "An acquaintance who Soyeon graduated with will have her wedding soon and that's what Soyeon was talking about with her friends. The celebrity being mentioned was speculation brought up in an online post and should not be written as fact by journalists."

Soyeon's agency finished by saying, "We're sorry all these things happened and she will be more careful in the future."
