Justin Bieber Cancels A Part Of His Tour

As of today , Justin Bieber’s crew has gotten use to all the hoaxes that’s going on — he’s had syphilis, gotten pregnant and even died a few times , don’t believe what you read — but over the past week, there’s been one hoax that just won’t go away : Justin Bieber is supposed to be going to North Korea .

It all started with an website called Faxo.com, they had a contest which allowed fans to vote on what Country Justin Bieber should perform on his My World Tour, with absolutely no restrictions . That was advantageous for those who pulled the prank, telling everyone to vote for North Korea  — the communist nation where citizens are denied Internet access and the media is strictly controlled by the government .

Within days, North Korea climbed the charts, and by Wednesday, when the contest ended, it had leapfrogged Israel to claim the top spot . Some people were even saying that the contest was real and that he was coming to North Korea .

But while the idea of Bieber performing for Kim Jong-il is certainly hilarious, it’s not actually true. Sure, North Korea may have won the Faxo contest, but the contest was in no way sanctioned by Bieber or anyone in his camp, according to a statement e-mailed on Wednesday (July 7) to MTV News.

“It was a spoof site,” a spokesperson for Bieber wrote. “This is not a legitimate contest.”

So, sadly, the Justin Bieber North Korea concert will not come to fruition anytime soon, which the Internet attributed to something other than the contest’s illegitimacy. Early Wednesday morning, more pranksters had made the most-searched term on Google Trends “Justin Bieber Hates Korea.”

Meanwhile, Bieber fans were subjected to yet another Internet attack. According to the BBC, hackers wrote code into the comments sections of Bieber videos on YouTube, flashing unsuspecting fans with news of the singer’s death and/or redirecting them to adult websites. Google issued a statement saying the company “took swift action to fix a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability” on the video site.

None of this seems to have slowed Bieber’s own Internet activity, however, as the avid Twitterer continues to rally his followers around his latest singles and even deigns to respond to a rumor or two. Back in June, for instance, he wrote, “One … I’m not dead. I had to check on this one … but it turns out I’m alive.”
