They are separate documents :)  Try going there with javascript disabled.

The hair-sticks blog entry is the last entry on
  https://koreanstudentblog.wordpress.com/2013/12/
and the "metro" hits are in the first blog entry on
  https://koreanstudentblog.wordpress.com/2013/12/page/2/

files for "infinite-scroll"
