1. [+1448, -23] Who is this marriage for? Did they have to photoshop the picture?

2. [+1335, -22] Would the dead want that?

3. [+202, -7] They should just leave the dead in their hearts... Why arrange a spirit marriage and even make a photoshopped photo? This is horror...

4. [+101, -5] It's a little scary. The original people of the photoshopped photo must be upset.

5. [+96, -0] The original groom and the bride of the picture must feel uncomfortable. This is why you don't post pictures of yourself on the Internet. A lot of wedding photos on the Internet are used for spirit marriages.

6. [+87, -0] The actress had a boyfriend when she committed suicide. Why did they have to arrange a spirit marriage...

What do you think of idols having tattoos?

Pann: What do you think of idols having tattoos?

1. [+1031, -13] Upvote if you think the OP is being nosy. Downvote if you don't.

2. [+257, -8] I don't care as long as the tattoos aren't like colorful dragons, fish, and goblins.

3. [+95, -13] I used to think they look bad but I changed my mind after my favorite idol got tattoos.

4. [+71, -3] I love it

5. [+44, -3] "You guys are inside of me until I die"

6. [+41, -2] It's their bodies, I don't think we can say anything. Whether it's an idol or a non-celebrity, it's not my body so why should we care...

7. [+39, -54] As long as it's not like Taeil's tattoos. I was grossed out when I saw his tattoos.

8. [+25, -1] It's cool when an idol has tattoos. It's a delinquent when a non-celebrity has tattoos. Double standards.

'Running Man' gets a warning for Lee Kwangsoo's inappropriate language

Article: Running Man calls a girl group member "gold-digger", ends up getting administrative guidance

Source: JoongAng Ilbo via Naver

(On a previous episode of Running Man, Lee Kwangsoo became controversial by calling Hyejeong 'kkot-baem' (gold-digger) and saying things like "stupid idiot" and "shut up". Some netizens complained and even ran national petitions.)

1. [+311, -92] Why does this need a warning, though ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+211, -29] I hope the same netizens did a national petition when Jun Somin made a penis joke to Yoo Jae Suk and gave a warning? I'm sure those netizens didn't find a problem with that. Of course, these feminists got triggered by the 'kkot-baem' word.

3. [+156, -27] What's wrong with kkot-baem? We have no problem with calling male celebrities jebi (male gold-digger) and pervert.

4. [+140, -18] They should know how to take a joke... How does deserve a national petition? People have too much time in their hands.

5. [+64, -9] Speechless... If a female celebrity calls a male celebrity jebi, would that get a warning, too?

6. [+16, -2] They think a variety show is a documentary ㅋㅋ Instead of going crazy over this issue, they should be investigating corrupt politicians instead.

7. [+13, -0] They're ruining a variety show again... They think this is nothing... Once you get a warning like that, you find yourself talking less. Kwangsoo's role is 50% of the entire show, it's gonna ruin Running man~

8. [+16, -5] You should know that this is a variety show. It's not like Kwangsoo said that on purpose~ He didn't try to make her feel bad, it was for a variety show. If you find it too rude, then you should complain to the PD.

Hawaii bans sunscreen at beaches to protect coral reefs

Article: Sunscreen banned at Hawaiian beaches... "to protect marine organisms"

Source: Yeonhap via Naver

1. [+1043, -48] How bad is sunscreen that they're even banning it to protect the coral reefs! We should learn from their mindset to protect the nature.

2. [+670, -21] I went to Hawaii and learned why they were an advanced country... They had strict restrictions to protect the nature. Shouldn't we learn from that?

3. [+266, -13] Regardless of the inconvenience, it's something that must be done to consider the future. I hope this gets enforced in Korea as well.

4. [+151, -13] Yeah, people should control their skin exposure on their own. That's the right thing to do.

5. [+136, -13] Sunscreen kills coral reefs and marine organisms, it's a good law.

6. [+54, -5] The article title is too provocative. To be specific, they're banning sunscreen that has a chemical that damages coral reefs. Many sunscreens don't contain the toxic chemical and you can choose to buy sunscreen that has coral-protection.

7. [+40, -0] People should cover up their bodies with clothes and wear a hat.

8. [+26, -0] Jeju needs to strengthen their laws to protect the nature, too.

9. [+26, -1] The US is trying hard like this but India and China are turning the seas and rivers into trashes. They don't even have sewage facilities and don't bother controlling their populations.

10. [+19, -2] Why don't the US do proper recycling, though...

1. [+4281, -174] The true winner is the people who slept through the match, woke up in the morning, and watched the shootout only.

2. [+2950, -195] I'm so glad Colombia lost after their dirty play. Those racist unfair players.

3. [+2612, -98] Interesting how England advanced by PK...

4. [+1951, -108] Of the 15 shootouts, England got 3 but they advanced into Round of 8.

5. [+1378, -82] The shootout was so fun

6. [+369, -28] So glad Colombia got eliminated after their racist Asian ceremony.

2. [+8689, -600] As expected of the red devils of Europe~ Japan did better than expected.

3. [+2805, -82] It was a legendary match. Belgium scored their last goal in the last minute of the match... What a perfect drama.

3. [+2163, -119] Sweden vs. England is a legend ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+1377, -84] Shootout is the most fun part ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+1251, -99] Yay, Round of 8 is full of exciting matches ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+220, -5] I think the most fun part is watching other countries' shootouts ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+180, -44] Uruguay always beats others quietly and advances ㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're annoyingly good. They're in Round of 8 again.

8. [+165, -6] Russia needs to undergo a drug test again.

9. [+126, -17] I think this World Cup got more interesting by Spain and Germany's early eliminations.

10. [+109, -3] For the sake of World Cup's class, I hope Russia doesn't advance into the final round.

1. [+542, -73] Park Bo Young. My friend is an entertainment industry journalist. I don't care whether you believe it or not.

2. [+454, -45] Lee Seunghoon carried the show today ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+413, -51] Charming ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I like his personal outfits better ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+71, -12] Isn't Park Bo Young considered a top star?

5. [+71, -72] Honestly, I was a Winner fan but he's such a loser... The top star he dated must be upset that he's talking about her like this. I used to think celebrities who talk about dating a top star in the past were big losers, I didn't expect Winner to be one of them.

6. [+63, -18] He could've talked more about it. It was very cool how he ended the story gently and cleanly.

Who do you think is going to win a daesang this year?

Pann: Who do you think is going to win a daesang this year?

1. [+129, -15] I think BTS will

2. [+120, -5] Digital monster Nilo ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+115, -8] Definitely BTS, not sure about the others. Winner did very well last year but they didn't win a daesang. Seeing Winner's case, you can never be sure.

4. [+36, -0] Isn't it Nilo? He beat Bigbang, EXO, Twice, and Winner.

5. [+33, -1] iKON and BTS are confirmed unless there's a song like Gangnam Style being released in the second half of the year.

6. [+31, -32] BTS will... Not sure about iKON.

7. [+26, -1] BTS

8. [+25, -7] If the digital awards are given purely by digital sales, then Ailee would've won last year's daesang.

9.[+24, -23] Can't believe iKON can win a daesang... How can there be a day where iKON wins a daesang?

10. [+17, -0] I honestly think it's BTS. Until now, BTS has been the only issued group this year. Their American achievement is a big shock. Am I the only one?

11. [+16, -12] If you can win a daesang by digital sales only, then the nominees of the Best Song Award and the Digital Daesang should've been Yoon Jong Shin's Like It, Ailee's First Snow, IU's Through The Night, Bolbbalgan4's Tell Me You Love Me, and Heize's You, Clouds, Rain ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Definitely not iKON...

12. [+15, -0] Nilo for Digital Daesang. Love Scenario for Best Song Award. BTS for Physical Daesang.

YG uses BTS to media-play Blackpink?

(The whole article talks about how BTS used SNS to target international fans and Blackpink went on a long hiatus to focus on comeback quality)

-

Pann: YG media-plays that BTS charted on the billboard by SNS and Blackpink charted on the billboard by music quality

1. [+627, -10] If you can chart on the billboard by SNS, I should be charted too since I'm on SNS a lot.

2. [+554, -4] They can just talk about Blackpink charting on the billboard, why mention BTS....

3. [+534, -6] If all of BTS' achievements are done by SNS, then you don't have to make music and just use SNS to chart on the billboard and advance into AMA!

4. [+287, -4] "You guys are the one that benefited from the media, hahahaha" - BTS' Airplane pt.2

5. [+273, -5] So funny, does Yang Hyun Suk have something against BTS? ㅋㅋㅋ On Blackpink's Spotify profile, they introduce Blackpink and mention BTS. There are Blackpink ads in BTS' Fake Love MV. He's trying to ride on BTS' popularity ㅋㅋㅋㅋ And he's doing dirty media-play, too. He overstates Blackpink's MV views and understates BTS' views and writes articles. And now we also have this stupid article ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why won't he leave BTS alone? YG is so annoying.

2. [+3712, -81] Wow, Russia's insane... Spain suffers the curse of venue countries again.

3. [+3220, -63] The candidates of the winner are all eliminated.

4. [+2188, -46] Crazy...

5. [+2007, -52] Akinfeev's honor is restored ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+860, -236] All Russia did was defending, how was Spain supposed to score a goal ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was the most boring match of the Round of 16.

2. [+3993, -137] Men are all about confidence.

3. [+3375, -171] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So cool of Di Maria

4. [+2320, -78] His kick looked weak but the ball turned and scored.

5. [+1975, -98] He's full of confidence!!

6. [+216, -25] Usually, skinny men have a big penis.

7. [+166, -11] We should admit it! Can't you tell by the size of Di Maria's nose~

8. [+150, -21] Guys with a big penis have the right to be confident. If you're unhappy with the ceremony, you're only being jealous of him... You should congratulate him as a generous person.

Jo Hyun Woo (goalkeeper): "I really didn't do anything"

-

Pann: Jo Hyun Woo's lie is so frustrating

1. [+389, -0] Not just that. He proved "Just because there's a goalkeeper, it doesn't mean that you can't score a goal" wrong with his talent. You can't score a goal if there's Jo Hyun Woo.

2. [+375, -1] He's nothing but light...

3. [+257, -2] Half of the match was his work.

4. [+181, -1] Liers should be punished... His lie is a heavy one too, so he should be heavily punished with money and good health.

5. [+164, -0] I don't know anything about soccer. I always thought the strikers were important, but I learned that having one amazing goalkeeper does wonders. Now I think that the role of the goalkeeper is the most important one.

6. [+126, -1] Throughout the whole match, I was so glad that Jo Hyun Woo was on our team. If he was the goalkeeper of the opposite team, I would've cried out of frustration.

7. [+107, -0] God Hyun Woo

8. [+88, -1] Jo Hyun Woo is exempt from the military service but he said he was still going to serve voluntarily. Please don't, your talent will be a big waste.

9. [+62, -0] This ㅋㅋㅋㅋ As expected of our country

AOA's fanmeet is not selling well?

Pann: AOA's fanmeet is empty

(Entrance fee: $55)

1. [+75, -19] I wished their recent release would do well. What a pity.

2. [+73, -51] Isn't AOA supported by Megals?

(tn: Megalia is a malicious feminist community site)

3. [+72, -4] I think AOA was a public-friendly group when Choa was in the group. But their new song is targeting feminists and summer season. They barely managed to fill those seats by guesting on all variety shows and radios to promote the song.

4. [+48, -2] This is why dedicated female stans are important. Male stans usually switch to young and prettier idols.

5. [+42, -0] AOA never had a big fandom in the first place ㅋㅋ

6. [+40, -10] What are feminist unnies doing? Digital sales aren't really a source of money ㅋㅋ

7. [+34, -9] Twitter feminists bragged about supporting female idols but why are they not attending AOA's fanmeet? AOA will be insulted because of this... Their digital sales are decent because of the public, not them.

8. [+29, -24] Truth of Megals: They don't want to spend money and they're too lazy in real life. They should use the fanmeet as an excuse to go out.
