The Sex Factor: Trouble Maker Turns Up The Heat To Join K-Pop's Sexiest Comebacks Of 2013

Hyunseung and HyunA definitely have chemistry.

Hyunseung and HyunA definitely have chemistry.

With HyunA sporting morning after looks in the newest teaser photos and hints of sexy new choreography, Cube Entertainment's naughty duo is set to return to the K-Pop scene. In an industry filled with pastel tinted video treatments and performers who can turn on their full aegyo at the drop of a hat, it is refreshing to see artists who dare to sex things up. In contrast to the American pop industry, where artists like Miley Cyrus have to be fully naked as in her video for "Wrecking Ball" to actually create controversy, K-Pop artists can display skinship for the same level of shock value. In 2013, some of the sexiest comeback videos ranged from a girl group who took to pole dancing to illustrate the raw energy of "First Love" to a male star who wanted to remind his fans that he is more than just a comedic addition to "SNL Korea".

Jay Park is so inviting in his video for

Jay Park is so inviting in his video for "Welcome".

In April 2013, Jay Park released a 19 plus video which coincided with his birthday for the song "Welcome". Shedding the comedic innocence of his "SNL Korea" characters, Jay Park firmly established that he wanted to maintain his status as a sex symbol. The video maintains the artistry of 1990s hip-hop, with the suggestive invitation that Jay Park is welcoming audiences to his bed.

2PM used

2PM used "A.D.T.O.Y" to show they were grown and sexy.

JYP Entertainment's 2PM made a strong comeback in May 2013 with "A.D.T.O.Y" from the appropriately named "Grown". Although, "Come Back When You Hear This Song" was the leading single from "Grown", audiences were drawn to the sensuality of the "A.D.T.O.Y" video. The transition towards a more mature portrayal of 2PM was a wise one, considering the fact that members Chansung and Taecyeon had been heavily engaged in promotions for television projects during the time of the album release.

Is After School pole Dancing or teaching pole fitness?

Is After School pole Dancing or teaching pole fitness?

After School turned to pole dancing for their music video "First Love" and received accolades for their mastery of an art relegated to adult entertainers and fitness instructors. The girl group is notorious for fully committing to learning new styles of dance and musicality, as witnessed previously with their choreography and promotions for "Bang". "First Love" has a slow tempo, which definitely helps to set the right mood.

Seungri goes from maknae to panty dropper.

Seungri goes from maknae to panty dropper.

BigBang's Seungri released a shocking 19 plus teaser for "Let's Talk About Love" comeback, in August 2013. The teaser featured high art images and video clips that seemed much more consistent with a G-Dragon release. Netizens immediately reacted to the teaser, especially to a scene that literally features panty dropping. YG Entertainment quickly clarified that neither Seungri or any of its other artists were actually depicted in the racy video, just their likeness.

How hot will HyunA and Hyunseung's Trouble Maker comeback be? If the dance teaser for "Now" is any indication, audiences can expect Hyunseung to literally be more hands on than he was for 2012's "Trouble Maker" choreography. With the news that the duo will also be releasing a 19 plus album following the initial market release for their comeback, HyunA and Hyunseung are most certainly poised have the sexiest comeback of 2013.

Craziest K-pop Transformations: Male Edition

I came upon Taeyang's spread in "ELLE Korea" magazine and I was shocked to say the least. When did he get all G-Dragon and avant garde on us? And why weren't we warned before it happened? This is what Taeyang used to look like:

This is his new transformation as he's gearing back for his solo comeback. Can we get a "whoa" up in here? Taeyang's album drops on November 1.

Let's tackle Taeyang's BFF and fellow member G-Dragon who debuted with the group looking wholesome and ghetto fabulous in this all white get-up rocking a handkerchief on his neck.

Here's a screenshot of one of his recent looks from a music video off of his solo album:

When Jay Park first debuted with JYPE, they had him tattoo-less, had him shave "2PM" in his head, and gave him clothes that looked like it was from a .99 cent store down the street.

He went solo and now he looks like this:

This may have more to do with weight loss, but you know I had to drag him on here. Look at Kangin when he was eating too much bbang (bread) and look at him now!

When 2AM's Changmin first debuted he was just a chubby kid who lost weight. He had no unique look or body.

But then he decided he wanted to become a machine of hotness. So he worked out and ate right and this was the result:

K-pop Idols Get Punk'd: Stars Being Funny with Each Other (Part One)

I'd rather watch hours of K-pop idols joking around and being silly with each other than music videos and variety programs. Is that strange? I know for a fact that none of you are shaking your heads and that you are all in agreement with me. Let's take a look at some of the funniest videos of idols being funny with each other!

Before Jay Park went on to become a hip-hop sexy solo star, he was just a goofy member in 2PM who painted things on his face and whispered "I love you" to his fellow members on "Wild Bunny." Watch Chansung, Jaebeom, and Taec be silly here:

When f(x)'s Sully was a guest on a variety program, she couldn't get enough of Park Myung Soo behind the scenes. Watch her die laughing and completely lose it here:

Hyori and Yoo Jae Suk should have their own show together. The both of them together are actually hilarious and why they won't have a variety program together is beyond me. Watch them be complete goofballs here:

Tom was in Korea to promote in the upcoming movie 'Thor: Dark World' where he plays the role of Loki.

In the beginning of his skit in the show, Tom started it up by dancing Crayon Pop's "Bar Bar Bar" in an apartment. He is making too much noise and this caused one of his neighbors to come and tell him to quiet down. On his 2nd skit, Tom pays Jay Park a visit and approach him to simmer down but unfortunately, it made Jay Park cry and his mother defends him by pinching Tom's nipples. On his last skit, Comedian Kim Min Kyo made an appearance as Thor and Tom also asked him to quiet down.

You can tell that Tom Hiddleston is a versatile actor and of course good looking too (^_^)

Jay Park and SISTAR's Soyou Perform Passionate Cover of 'Love's Maze'

Jay Park and SISTAR member Soyou mixed things up and wowed the audience and at-home viewers with their recent duet on KBS 2's Immortal Song 2.

On the October 19 episode, the pair performed a rearranged version of Choi Jin Hee's song "Love Maze" and definitely made it their own.

They split the song up and performed it as a couple in the midst of a breakup, with Jay adding in some passionate, high-speed rap verses and Soyou's powerful voice bringing the chorus home.

Like Us on Facebook :

The original singer of the song, Choi Jin Hee, was equally impressed as the fans and said, "It was like a different song with the rap in it. I was immersed in 'Love's Maze.'"

Even though the high-energy performance excited the audience, Jay Park and Soyou did not take home the trophy this week. That honor instead went to J2M.

Check out the heartfelt performance in the clip below.
