BoA’s Eat You Up leaked on MySpace
Korean pop star BoA’s American debut song Eat You Up is leaked on MySpace. The song was uploaded on a MySpace account, but I believe that it’s not an official account for a few reasons.
The major clue is that the account has cited that BoA is from Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) instead of Republic of Korea (South Korea).
Well, it’s either a fake account, or that her PR team is making a huge blooper here. Seems like SM Entertainment is not making much noise about it though… testing online responses perhaps?
[Update] The full MV is out. I was harsh on its teaser was announced, and I haven’t changed my mind. Nothing personal; I still think BoA is a great entertainer, but the song doesn’t please me.
The music is just ok, and the lyrics sucks. A reader told me that Eat You Up is a slang for oral sex in the states; the lyrics seem to fit the suggestive title rather well, be it intentional or not… it’s pretty ambiguous obviously. I wonder if BoA knows exactly what she is singing. Check the lyrics [hat tip to reader James].
[Update 2] The Myspace account is real. Her company obviously needs to hire some better PR person to do the job.

Korean Pop’s 5 Hottest Girl Groups
Long live the Korean pop scene, where nobody really cares that much about authenticity'or even singing talent for that matter'as long as the girls look cute and the songs are catchy.
American girl groups like Danity Kane and the Pussycat Dolls have to throw on their sluttiest getup to grab anybody's attention, but in Korea, girl pop stars can find success by just singing mindless ditties in sugary voices while executing the simplest of non-sexual dance steps. See, that's the thing'the more you sell a product as overtly sexy, the less sexy it becomes. But push a product as “cute” and “innocent” and “pure”'well now you've piqued our predatory instincts! Our fam in Seoul hipped us to the hottest K-pop girl groups of the moment. Watch all their videos below.
Group: Wonder Girls
Debut: 2007
The most popular girl group out today, the Wonder Girls are the brainchild of K-pop Svengali Park Jin-Young, who also discovered heartthrob (and Stephen Colbert nemesis) Rain. The Girls' much-anticipated second album is coming soon, complete with a “sexier” look. Since two of the five are under 18, hopefully it won’t be too soon.
