    Rookie singer "Ori (오리, real name: Baek Ji Hyun)," performed on the first KBS Music Bank of the new year on January 2nd, 2009 and she didn't fail to disappoint.

    Ori which means "duck" in Korean, was most likely derived from "Miwoon Ori," or Ugly Duckling. Anyway, the rookie singer performed her song "It's snowing (눈이 내려와)" and it's receiving alot of negative criticism.

    Netizens stated:

    "She's just too much."

    "Is there no standard for singers?"

    "I understand she's a rookie, but that was completely unacceptable. How could anyone be so unprepared?"

    "It's embarrassing that she's even considered a singer."

    "As hard as I try to see the possibility of her being a singer, I think it's impossible."


    She's supposedly 15 - Korean age, so 14 years old, with 1 year of training!
