Known as BJs (Yes, I know but I’m not sure they do.), these sexy webcam dancers have been heating up Korean cyberspace through P2P video streaming sites like afreeca.com and winktv.co.kr for the last few years, but some particularly notable hotties have surfaced within just the last year or so. It’s very difficult for non-Koreans to register at the sites the girls are BJs at, but don’t worry because fans have uploaded many of their videos to Youtube. If you wonder how these ladies can afford the finer things in life, well, ”P2P” stands for more than just “peer-to-peer.” Yes, I’m talking “Star Balloons.” (If you don’t get it, you will after some Googling.)

Above is Choi Somi, know better by her handle “BJ Mina” (also “Bj Minah”), dancing to Rania’s “Dr. Feelgood.” Not a cover of the 1989 Mötley Crüe song of the same name, but I sure wouldn’t mind seeing her groove to that one, as well. Somi is also a popular shopping mall model. See three other popular Korean BJs (and if you Google those words trying to find them, you won’t get your intended results) after the jump.

Saturday Night Live Korea made its debut in December of 2011 and has since done quite well in the ratings. Closely patterned after the long-running “live from New York” original, SNL Korea is considered to be in its fourth season, as Korean TV seasons are relatively short.

This excerpt from a July 2012 skit features the show’s host, singer/actress Bada (Sea) overseeing auditions to choose two new singers to flank her in “SES II.” In real life, her two former groupmates did get married but the trio disbanded amicably and there are no plans for a new incarnation of the group. Also, the “diva” character Bada portrays here is far from the reality. As someone who’s had the pleasure of meeting her on a couple of occasions, I can say she’s definitely one of the friendliest and most charming Korean celebs there is.

To see the full skit (but without subtitles), go here. Oh yes; the first girl here who auditions is cast member Kim Seul-gie, who responds to her dismissal by stating a singing rival of Bada’s is ”the best.” The second hopeful is singer Hyolyn, from the girl group Sistar and their sub-duo Sistar19, and I don’t need to explain why her entrance draws such enthusiasm from the audience. The reason Bada’s request to see her forehead is followed by “oohs” is because Hyolyn is well-known to be self-conscious about what she feels is a large forehead, hence her always wearing bangs.

2013 Miss Korea Pageant ContestantsIt’s no secret and certainly not news, how common it is for South Korean women, particularly those in the entertainment industry, to have facial cosmetic work done. The most common being the “double-eyelid” surgery, which is intended to give a more big-eyed “Western” appearance. So, when I caught an article stating that all of the contestants in the 2013 Miss Korea Pageant looked alike, I thought it was nothing new and I didn’t even bother reading it. However, when I recently caught the now viral GIF image (right) of seven of the contestants, created just to illustrate how they all look like they rolled off the same plastic surgery assembly line, it did make me stop and take notice. It practically looks like the same girl with different hairstyles and clothes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I suppose. Just an observation.

Excellent article at koreaBANG that includes photos of all 20 contestants before and after makeup here.
