“Ye Eun who is in the same college year with me is just a normal college girl wearing her faculty t-shirt and carrying lecture handouts.”

That was what Kara member, Han Seung Yeon said as she talked about her interesting encounters with Wonder Girls Ye Eun in an interview recently.

Han Seung Yeon was accepted into Kyunghee University under it’s acting program this year, with Ye Eun joining the postmodern music program.

Han Seung Yeon said in the interview

The postmodern classroom is right beside mine. So I often see Ye Eun in school. Ye Eun is a really normal girl when she goes to school, usually wearing her faculty t-shirt plus lecture handouts in her hands. Both our classes uses the same washroom so we often see each there. I didn’t really know Ye Eun before this. Because we are singers, my professors often asked me about Ye Eun. Later on, we managed to see each other quite often in the washroom and in the canteen and naturally we knew each other better.

She continued, “Because of my singing schedule, I do not have sufficient time to prepare for my tests unlike normal students. So I get really worried before my tests. My professors didn’t know about my identity as a singer. It was only recently when I was preparing for our (Kara) new album and comeback and told them (professors) about it. They were really shocked.”

The new 5-member Kara will mark their comeback with consecutive performances for their title song “Rock U” starting with M! Countdown tonight, Music Bank, Music Core and ending with Inkigayo on Sunday.

Wonder Girls Ye Eun has managed to keep her ‘honor student’ streak going from her high school to her present college life.

In a recent interview with Sports Hankooki, Ye Eun said, “My first semester grades are out, I got 3As, 1 C but it was mostly Bs.”

It isn’t really easy for Ye Eun to achieve such good grades partly because of her busy schedule where she has to perform and study at the same time. Especially during the period when she had her finals which counted for a big portion of the grades, she had to rush between tv stations and school.

Thankfully for her, Ye Eun’s average grades added up to B+. This has continued her honor student status dating from her high school days.

According to Wonder Girls manager, “Ye Eun never once skipped lessons or forgo going for tests no matter how difficult it is for her, although she isn’t quite satisfied with her results. For those subjects which she got less than ideal grades, she would be working doubly hard for them in between semesters.”

“The most unlikeliest idols in this world!”

This was what I (the reporter, not me) felt after watching SBS Family Outing variety. Could it be I am getting on or not knowing Big Bang well enough? But I never thought that Big Bang would have a member like this.

What I meant was having a wide range of emotions, friendly, kind-hearted “ultimate idols”. Ye Eun of the Wonder Girls is the same. They are not “fake” and extremely candid. They don’t act cool but are very straightforward.

That’s why both Dae Sung and Ye Eun are in the upper echelons of our “ultimate idols” ranking and are our focal point this week.

The biggest reason behind idol groups ending up being boring is because of the “idol groups = good looking guys/girls”. As these young boys and girls look and pose for the cameras, seemingly asking, “Am I pretty?”, your curiosity and concern just ebbs away. These idol groups look extremely unnatural as their bold and mysterious actions aren’t befitting of their age.

Dae Sung and Ye Eun are however direct opposites. Even though they might look plain compared to others in their group, but they are able to display the energy and personality that a 20 year old youth should have. Dae Sung singing his trot song “Look At Me, Gwi-soon” and Ye Eun’s candid personality onstage and offstage. Whenever we see them, confidence just ebbs out from them.

Some Korean netizens are apparently seeing red over the Wonder Girls talking and laughing during their interview recently on SBS Kim Jung Eun’s Chocolate variety as they spoke about their alcoholic outing with Park Jin Young.

In the episode of Kim Jung Eun’s Chocolate shown yesterday, host Kim Jung Eun had asked Ye Eun and Sun Ye what they would like to do the most when they became adults. The both of them replied, “Although this isn’t really our wish when we become adults, but we learnt drinking from Park Jin Young sunbaenim. We started with cocktails, beer for the second round, vodka and two other types of alcoholic drinks. We drank a little bit of each.”

Some netizens who watched that episode was noticeably disappointed with the Wonder Girls talking about their alcoholic outing which lasted five rounds. They expressed with shock and chided their actions, “…they are still kids”.

Some netizens even misunderstood the whole situation since it wasn’t implied clearly, “Not just Ye Eun and Sun Ye who only became adults this year, Sun Mi and So Hee also tagged along with them although they aren’t even 19 yet.”

JYP Entertainment explained, “Park Jin Young only taught Ye Eun and Sun Ye who just turned 20 this year drinking. So Hee and Sun Mi weren’t around then, Ye Eun and Sun Ye already said that clearly during the interview.”

Because of the Wonder Girls wholesome image, their outburst of drinking 5 rounds has led to some fans turning against them. Anti-fans are seizing on every opportunity to put down the girls by blowing up the whole issue.
