Crayon Pop may be the hottest artist of the summer, but it looks like their IlBe controversy has yet to leave them completely.

The internet shopping mall 'Auction' recently recruited the girls to be the face of the site, but after the girls released their CF, the site has been experiencing a mass exodus of users.

The girls, after using various phrases used on the controversial site, and after their CEO pretty much admitted he was a registered member, have been called 'Ilbe-yon-pop'. After Crayon Pop released their CF, a torrent of complaints flooded the customer service board. The term 'Leaving Auction' started taking the top spots for search terms on portals, and a movement to stop using the site started up.

I suppose it was inevitable that this would rear its head again. There are also a couple of articles on Netizen Buzz in which some fairly poor attempts are made to accuse CP of plagiarizing Momoclo's concepts.

Poor attempts? It's been pretty damn obvious for a while that whoever is in charge of Crayon Pop is influenced by Momoclo to attempt to make them stand out from other groups.

I made the MomoClo comparison when I first got into them - not because of any specific concepts or superficial similarities, but because it was one of the first k-pop groups I'd seen that was as much silly fun on stage. They're rookies, why not do something different, with character, make use of the fact that there's nothing to lose. That was great to see in k-pop. To claim they copied any particular element from MomoClo tho is madness. I think they were influenced by japanese indie idol groups in general.
 
Peru, ramyeon, I challenge you! Do you know a group called Sweet Guerillaz?
Just asking because you guys seems to always know every group.

Yeah, that was what I was getting at really. The influence is clearly there but to accuse them of plagiarism is a pretty massive exaggeration.

Allure: You went to Taiwan for a concert a few days ago, correct?
Tiffany: Yes. We have a concert in Indonesia planned in September, and a Girls’ Generation album will be released in the fall along with a Girls’ Generation subunit, Girls’ Generation – TTS’s album next year.

Allure: Are you still concerned about ‘airport fashion’ when you go the airport?
Tiffany: I don’t think fans who come to the airport to see me want to see forced, staged fashion. Wouldn’t they be curious about me in that situation? I choose comfortable clothes, and mind hair and makeup that matches it. Is this like what ‘natural beauty’ is? However, on a day when even I thought I looked too shabby, I took the newspaper I was reading on the plane and covered my face after getting off. (laughs)

Mmhmm, comfortable clothes eh Fany?

I like it, but I'm not feeling that tango breakdown.

They fell down into the bad boysband routine, so disappointed. :<

Yeah, this generic crap is not going anywhere. Wasted talent IMO.

Krystal: It's not that SNSD unnies forced me to watch it but it's just that I happened to watch it when I visited SNSD's dorm"

lolol

I'm just confused. So is it pretty much certain that like 90% of these groups, guys and girls both, are celibate? cause how do they bring dudes home if they're 25 with that many roommates in that tiny ass apartment? SUJU still in dorms too? I thought all that dorm shit was for scrub groups and young people.

err.. It is true but it's pretty old.

Jessica: Krystal doesn’t seem to have much interest in becoming an adult. Once, my members and Krystal watched an R-rated movie at our dorm. It wasn’t a really a weird movie either. It was ‘American Pie’. But Krystal went crazy, causing a fuss. I guess she thought she was doing something wrong. (laughs)
Krystal: I think the unnies are really weird!

And most of SNSD haven't lived in the dorm for a while. They still stay in the dorm together quite a bit because of schedules but during free time might stay elsewhere. Yuri has a penthouse in Ilsan. Hyoyeon bought a house in Incheon. Yoona, Hyoyeon, Seohyun, Jessica and Sooyoung have places close to the dorm.

As far as getting it on. I think they discreetly pick up whoever in their cars or ride bikes to meet up because they are hard to follow. I guess paparazzi in Korea kinda suck because I heard some crazy boy group sasaeng fans talking about all the stuff they see. Either that of the crazy fans are full of it. lol

The online shopping site 'Auction' has removed all references of Crayon Pop on its website after running into significant backlash from users.

The web portal had signed the up-and-coming idols to an advertising deal, setting the five girls prominently on its website. However, users began abandoning the website in protest of Crayon Pop's supposed ties to IlBe, a controversial Korean web board long associated with fringe groups and radical politics.

"This action was taken due to the strong protests from our users," said a representative for Auction. "However, we can't say for certain that Crayon Pop has been definitively dropped from our advertisements."

"It is true for any company to pay attention to the situation when their advertising models bring forth cultural divisions," they said. "We are paying close attention to how the situation unfolds."
