[K-Pop Battle] f(x)’s Victoria vs. SNSD’s Sooyoung

SM Entertainment, known for housing and managing today’s hottest K-Pop acts, found itself doing a bit of damage control this week when two of its girl group members were involved in dating scandals.But you know what they say - all’s fair in love and war, so we’re pitting SM’s scandal-ridden sweethearts f(x)’s motherly leader Victoria and Girls’ Generation (SNSD)’s Sooyoung against each other for this week’s K-Pop Battle.

Victoria After wrapping up promotions for 2012 single Electric Shock, f(x) has been laying relatively low, but all eyes were on leader Victoria this week when a photo she posted on Weibo sparked dating rumors between her and SM label mate Max Changmin of TVXQ. Rumors began swirling when a netizen zoomed in on a man reflected in the spoon seen in the photo, speculating he was Max Changmin. The fact that Victoria deleted the photo immediately following the rush of rumors only served to fan the fire.

Although SM confirmed the man in the photo was Max Changmin, it denied the two idols are dating. Netizens, however, remain unconvinced and have taken to digging up old photos as “evidence” that Victoria and Max Changmin are a couple. SooyoungFresh off of squashing romance rumors with top star Won Bin, SNSD’s Sooyoung found herself at the center of another dating scandal when a media outlet reported she and actor Jung Kyung Ho were a couple.

SM denied the reports, saying Sooyoung and Jung Kyung Ho are “just friends.” The media outlet’s evidence is shaky, to say the least, so we’re not all that convinced the two are an item. But who knows? Spring is just around the corner… Whether these rumors are true or not, all we know is we’ll take a dating scandal with Won Bin any day. Decide who wins this battle by voting!Reporter : Nancy Lee (nancylee@cj.net)

In 2011, after a series of activities in Japan, the group returned to the Korean music scene with "The Boys", which was released in three languages: Korean, Japanese, and for the first time, English. In 2010 alone, the group sold more than 11,730,000 albums and singles collectively.^[3] The group's immense popularity in their native South Korea has earned them titles "The Nation's Singers" and "The Nation's Girl Group".^[4] The Sisa Journal named the group as the most influential entertainers for the years 2011 and 2012, making them the first female idol group in history to make the list.^[5] They have also been listed as #1 on the Top Female Singer's list for 4 consecutive years in a row (sans 2nd half of 2011 at #2) on the Leespiar Popularity Survey in Korea.^[6]^[7] Asia Today placed the group at forty-four on the 50 Korean Power Leaders list in 2011.^[8] Forbes also revealed the group were most powerful entertainers in South Korea for the year of 2011.^[3]

The group's debut Japanese album, Girls' Generation, released in June 2011, is currently the highest selling album in Japan by a Korean group in Oricon history.
