Awwww, their teasing me
I only arrive the 3rd in NY! And the Fan-signing would be so close to the place I'm staying at.
No chance that because it's still TBA that the date gets changed as well?

Yeah. I didn't realize it was the same person side by side with OC's avatar until I read the name.

Dal Shabet's mini is kinda disappointing. But the first track and the title track are pretty good. I'm fine with just seeing them promote again - Jiyul is one of my favourite girls in kpop these days. Looking forward to the MV.

Nine Muses have turned into really solid performers. Hot stuff in that performance as well.

Dal Shabet MV http://youtu.be/uhM4ossYcjg

I like it, but think it's funny the pre-release PR said it would be an "image change never seen before".

Two things will happen:

MOGEF will strike down on the violence in the lyrics.

FCC will strike down on the violence in the video and R-rate it. Although with this (and MBLAQs 'War') they'll actually have a case since she shoots and kills. With Stellar they objected to TOY LASER GUNS.

I am seriously dying over here. It is starting to get seriously painful to laugh, but I can't stop watching RM.

After this scene I literally had to take a ten minute break as I was hurting so much.

As News is the first song I've heard from them, I do not have alot to compare it too, but they seem great live from that performance, and this one which I am partial too.

Catchy song: ✓
Pretty girls: ✓
Decent performers: ✓

Definitely keeping my eyes on this group from now on, particularly Erin.

Some stuff from Arirang's youtube channel

Girl group Wind Hold Venus kind of covering Hanson's 'MMMBop'

Rania dancing to the Janet Jackson song "Feedback"

Report on the 24-member girl group Leader’S' showcase (no mention of the Coffee shilling or verbal fights with reporters)

you do get a sense of what they sound like (generic) and what they look like (100% chance of their costumes getting banned)

Aljazeera is airing a report on k-pop in about 1 hours time

With attractive artists, catchy tunes and polished dance moves, K-Pop is the number one draw-card for tourists to South Korea and generates tens of millions of export dollars.

But punishing schedules and contracts, plus links to prostitution and corruption have revealed a dark side to the industry.

T-ara has the worst fandom in kpop. Not only are they completely splintered into various groups who only like 1 or 2 of the members and abhor the rest, but they say shit like this:
http://collarmcpoppins.tumblr.com/p...-should-totally-post-that-rant-you-made-about

It blows my mind that fans would demand extremes of overworking, especially when they openly acknowledge how it removes members from their stage performances. Props to Qri for having some sensibility with her lifestyle. I hope not much of this shit from "fans" gets back to her.

Dice - no one's overworked until they're DEAD. Two hours sleep? Too much when there's screentime to be had!

I've watched all the episodes without subs, so I can't help you I'm afraid.


Momoiro songwriter is just too good... weird and catchy pop is apparently his 1st language. Also the girl in this video is the Momoiro member who quit and is now an actress, but she's only pretending to sing. For some reason he does duets with girls voices that are actually himself singing, on several singles. The Best Friendship :http://youtu.be/wyUXKynmmiw

Lol, I don't get that guy's point. He's mad that Eunjung and Hyomin frequently miss performances for their acting schedules but then he wants Qri to miss performances as well?

Peru is, but I think he's fluent/watches it unsubbed. Can always try kshownow for the quick and dirty.

Ahh, thanks. And good lord... I've seen this video before, but had tunnel vision for Jaekyung. I completely missed that Hyunyoung girl.

Wild guess: Their stage outfits will be wildly random.

I'm starting to dig "Hit U", but here's a first in k-pop for me: I think the MV is needlessly provocative and violent. (Actually I feel the same way about MBLAQ's "It's War")

Anyone have a hd subbed version of the last 2 episodes of dangerous boys? For some reason taenacity stopped subbing them.

Yeah I know they are up on kshow but they aren't in hd and really, what's the point if it's not in hd? It isn't exactly like they get into intriguing discussions that dazzle the mind and expand my knowledge.

Woah, woah, woah. Hold the fuck up. I missed the live viewing, is this it? Doesn't really seem like it, mentions nothing about links to prostitution, but I couldn't find anything else. Is there another report, or does anyone have info as to what the fuck they are talking about?

Key word is links to prostitution. Doesn't mean anything. One member of a random group could know someone's mom who knew someone who was a prostitute and it'd still qualify. It's like those "up to 50% off" sales.
Not that I think kpop is clean. But that sounds more like sensational reporting than actual facts.

I don't think then mentioned prostitution in the actual video report.

It was about 20-25 minutes long, covered the Kara and TVXQ controversies, interviewed Rania and their boss, lots of experts and an anonymous former boyband member who's locked into a contract.

Chinese We Got Married
MBC’s Hallyu content production team revealed that the Chinese version of ‘We Got Married’ is currently in production with a tentative air date beginning in February! The program will begin with two pilot episodes, and further development will depend on its success with the viewers.

T-ara‘s Hyomin and Super Junior‘s Kyuhyun have been the first to be cast for the Chinese version of the popular variety show. Hyomin will become a couple with Chinese idol group BoBo‘s Fu Xinbo while Kyuhyun will be coupling up with actress Yedda Chen

So Sica and Taeng are doing small roles in TV? Hmm,, life after soshi as actresses?
Click to expand...

I think this is more then likely to be the case for most of the girls. yoona is into acting and now some of the others are starting as well. They all already have to act on the variety shows they go on. Well, not act but kinda...exaggerate their own personalities.

We all know that the life of an idol burns out quick so acting seems like a natural progression. I'm sure they've made more than enough money to last the test of their lives but they obviously aren't in this only for the money. They seem to love entertaining people and the attention that comes with it and I don't think any Of them would be happy fading into the background. Well maybe Sooyoung, she doesn't seem to do anything outside of promoting, concerts, and church.

Sica and Hyo want to be fashion designers but really??? Common now. I love Hyo but let's not kid ourselves here. And aren't most of them studying theatre in college anyway.

As for who would actually make a decent actor, I'd have to put money on the cunning Maknae. She seems like she would be able to put in the time and get a range going. The others probably can only look pretty and smile. If they don't get work there I'm sure they can always double as MCs.
