Stellar Deliberately Showing Their Panties? Agency “No Those Are Merely Underpants”

The girl group Stellar is being criticized for their performance costumes. In the past, Girls Day had also come under fire for a similar reason because their short skirts showed underwear or underpants.

They will have their first performance of “U.F.O” on M.net‘s “M Countdown” on February 9. A teaser showed a dance move where all the members bend forward with their back to the cameras. The member Minhee has a short skirt on and it appears like she is showing panties.

Netizens stated, “Are they deliberately showing their panties?” “Is this noise marketing,” and “What are you doing with underage girls?”

However, a representative of Stellar stated “It looks like the member Minhee’s panties are showing but it is just a bright colored pants underneath. She was wearing tight underpants and it just went up while dancing. The member is not underage and also those are pants showing so there was no issue.”

The representative continued, “For the comeback performance Stellar will wear the same outfit. However, the dance routine will be changed a bit.”

Jin Akanishi to Marry Meisa Kuroki! Baby on the Way

Japan is currently reeling from this morning’s news that J-pop sensation Jin Akanishi (formerly of KAT-TUN) is set to marry superstar actress/singer Meisa Kuroki (probably best known for playing Yuki Mori in the recent live-action Space Battleship Yamato film). The pair had been spotting dating recently in assorted romantic spots, but wow, I guess things happened fast.

The kicker here is that Meisa (age 23) is two months pregnant. How having to change Pampers will impact her and Jin's (age 27) warp-speed careers remains to be seen.

And this ain’t no rumor neither.

Yahoo! JAPAN has reported both pregnancy and marriage plans and it’s all right there in the Sports Nippon paper below:
