Bubble Bursting
Well it seems that the overnight sensation of Korean Girls performing pop songs in Black Face (The Bubble Sisters) will not be sweeping the world by storm as scheduled.

Whoever it was, following an unanticipated splurge of protest, hate mail and petitions, WinWin decided to pull the plug. Marketing Director Rob Seo even offered an apology, "To the 1 percent of people who were offended by this, we're really sorry. From this Thursday (yesterday) we won't be performing with black faces."

You can read more about what happened here.

It seems to explain it all pretty well.

However, I find it hilarious that Universal Music was their distributor and theri video even got airplay on MTV Korea.

You'd think there would have been one point where someone higher up would have said... "Hey, is this right?"
