'Boob Job' One of Top Internet Searches Amidst North Korea's Fifth Nuclear Test
Seems like North Korea's missile provocations and nuclear tests do not greatly affect its South Korean neighbors as "boob job" came in as one of the top Internet searches on Friday amidst the North's latest nuclear test, a report from the Korea Times stated.
While the rest of the world seemed shocked at the fifth nuclear test of the North on Friday morning, the nuclear test did not make the 10 most-searched words on South Korea's Naver, the country's largest Internet portal. A comedy show, entertainers, celebrities, and a TV drama dominated the list of top-searched words on the said Internet portal.
As of 1:40 in the afternoon, a famous comedy weekly show titled "Happy Together" topped the Internet searches on Naver. Other keywords that were included in the list were K-Pop singer Jessi in second place, wet wipes on third place, actor Jo Jung Suk on 7th, and Brown Eyed Girls member Gain on 10th.
Keywords that were related to the North's nuclear test appeared on the list after 2 in the afternoon, almost four and a half hours after the nuke test hit the headlines of news outlets around the globe. Two hours later, at around 4 in the afternoon, the keywords related to the nuclear test went missing from the list.
The Korea Times also reported that they contacted a 20-something job seeker on Friday afternoon to ask about the nuclear test carried out by North Korea earlier that day. The respondent said, "I even did not know North Korea conducted a nuclear test. I do not think North Korea will attack (South Korea) with its nuclear weapon. So I don't care."
The comedy TV show "Happy Together," which is aired on KBS every Thursday night, went viral on the Internet following the confession of K-Pop singer-rapper Jessi, who guested on its latest episode, of having a boob job.
Allkpop reported that during her guesting on the show, Jessi said, "I paid for the surgery with my own money. Why do I have to hide it? There are a lot of people who hide it after getting surgery. That's more laughable. If you did, you should just say you did."
