Lolol. That fangirling...I love it. I don't understand how someone can consistently scream like that for 3 minutes straight. That's some talent right there.

They were probably just ordinary dudes trying out for boyband auditions and SM made up the "bad" factor. You only see like 5 minutes of smoking/drinking/hanging out with girls
arguably bad things
anyway, and that's about it. I call shenanigans.

Joke's over, time to drop the tin foil hat schtick. Dude who dropped out talked about the bts stuff on his blog claiming the staff were too strict about their dorm life, etc.

Since you guys in this thread are big into Korean pop culture. I was wondering if you like the cuisine as well? I only recently been into K-pop but I've loved Korean food for over a decade. Just curious if you had any favourites?

Right now I'm craving Rabokki. I'm going to the k-market after work to buy ingredients.

Here's a video of Soyeon making Rabokki. I find a lot of korean dishes are easy to prepare like this. Especially jigae's which are awesome as winter comfort food. Still not sold on the cheese they sometimes add at restaurants to Budaejigae aka Army stew.

I live in a country virtually without Korean diaspora, there are no Korean restaurants or shops in my city (there are, however, quite a lot of adoptees). A Korean immigrant styling himself 'Mr Lee' started an instant noodle brand in the 80s which basically monopolized the market --- that's the extent of Korean cuisine available

Everything... almost. Only thing to put me off so far was straight leaves of perilla.

I know what you mean. The first time I tried perilla leaf kimchi I was all like "Yuck, This is straight up Chinese medicinal herb shit" After a while I got used to it and I sometimes order it to wrap samgeyopsal in. Ground up Perilla seed is my "secret" ingredient in Gamjatang.

You crazy for this one, Dice

But hell yeah.. I think they're going to go HARD on this one.. at least if I interpreted their interviews correctly. ("we're gonna do our own thing and not care about mass appeal etc etc")

I like their spicier stuff, some spicy tofu soup I had last time was pretty tasty. And bibimbap in general, in its various incarnations, is pretty tasty too. I'd say my favorite so far has been something maybe not Korean per se, but involves Korean food, so more like Korean fusion. In LA they have some places that sell Korean kogi (?) burritos that are absolutely spectacular. Like this good.

Haha, I need to try this. I've yet to hear a non-Korean person say they like these, and even of the Koreans I know, half don't like it.

Finally, Running Man Hong Kong special is done by isubs. Was getting close to a month since their last release :/ Hope they pick up the pace to catch up.

Got it downloaded and joined, and gonna watch it with my friend who hasn't seen it before. Wonder how that will go.

Soshi RM episodes should be the first one shown, although the rest of the episodes just won't be able to compare after Soshi.

F(x) is for sure going to do one this year. They are gearing up for their Japanese debut. Plus, Victoria is going to be filming some Taiwanese drama so you'll see a lot of them this year.

Of course they are going to, their last batch of promotions were their most successful yet and it hasn't been that long since they finished (SHINee has been gone for more than a year). It would be crazy of SM to end it like that.

Taeyon's reaction seems to be just for camera, she's enjoying it.
At this point, Taengoo unbeatable, wow!

Restrained myself watching DB so far although I saw the trial episode. Are available subs good? (too many Soshified dependent). I really have to catch up...
Also RM, I skipped a lot of episodes and I'm still at 49. And no time to watch more at this moment, too much work. I'll just see the guest list and decide next episodes to see for a near future but it looks lately they are all good.

Not very selective in your gifmaking, but at least you don't fuck with the colors and aspect ratio.

The ladies of girl group T-Ara have recently signed a contract worth 1 billion won, the largest amount of money any idol star has ever been paid for an endorsement contract for a fried chicken company.

Core Contents Media, home to T-Ara, Davichi and Co Ed School, released a statement on February 6th saying:

&#8220;T-ara was presented with the most shocking amount of money in the world of &#8216;idols&#8217; and signed a contract with the Gibalhan Chicken for a year.&#8221;
The six young ladies will also receive royalty fees from every franchise.

...

T-Ara is currently preparing to begin to release their single &#8220;Roly Poly&#8221; in Japan on February 29.

Even management thinks it T-ara + Hwayoung.

Korean Fried Chicken is delicious. Money well spent. I saw an interview that SNSD likes to order delivery the chicken they endorse.
