The December 16 airing of SBS' 'One Night of TV Entertainment' was definitely entertaining, but also quite controversial. Netizens are furious over a specific segment that the show aired.

The segment in question is 'One Night's Strange Stories' which featured photos of female celebrities, mostly idols, where their bodies were shown to be strangely proportioned.

The first few photos look to be edited photos. These include Wonder Girls' Sohee's legs being separate from the rest of her body, actress Han Ga In with three arms, and Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon with an extremely long arm.

But what netizens are angry about are how Girls' Generation's YoonA and IU were portrayed. The two were shown in photos where their bodies seemed strangely positioned.

YoonA's magazine cover page showed her with her neck turned to the side, and IU's photo showed her leaning forward with her arms on her waist. The reporter stated that both girls looked like their necks were twisted.

The reporter stated, "This is Girls' Generation YoonA's magazine cover photo. But her neck is twisted. It looks like a photo where YoonA's neck is twisted and when you turn her body it looks more natural. When you look at both the original photo and the CG photo, which looks more natural?"

A different reporter stated, "IU has also turned around. If you turn her head to the opposite side, now it looks more comfortable. What happened here? It's really strange."

Korean fans are outraged, commenting that this is a case of sexual harassment. They mention that saying a woman's physical body is the same from the front and back is a type of sexual harassment.

On 'One Night of TV Entertainment's comment page, netizens are demanding for an apology. The show's reps have not given an official statement yet.

What are your thoughts on the matter?

With all the hush-hush going on about the upcoming variety drama, “Producer,” I started thinking about what surprises awaits the eager and excited fans for its premiere. As one of those fans, I also started thinking about how different this role is for IU, which, perhaps unsurprisingly, led me to thinking about my favorite role of hers to date: Our Woman Crush Wednesday this week, Lee Soon Shin from “You’re the Best, Lee Soon Shin.”

The drama itself certainly had its flaws, but, for me, it never diminished the happiness I felt at watching our leading lady grow, succeed, and...

Remember HIGH4's awesome debut track "Not Spring, Love, or Cherry Blossoms," featuring the lovely IU with the voice of an angel? It did really well when it first came out, so it comes as no surprise it's returned to the music charts despite a year hiatus.

Considering it's recently become spring, it really is no wonder people returned to the song for that more cheerful, warmer feel.

Considering this is a trend that happens with Busker Busker's "Cherry Blossom Ending," there are even speculations this song might become the second classic to experience a comeback every year.

The song was...
