In the end we don't really know how much of what the idols show is manufactured and what is real. We know however that in the interest of record companies is to make us BELIEVE everything is real. I am sure they go to great length to do just that. I know you and others would like to believe it's all "magical", that k-pop has that "something" that nothing else has, but the truth is 9 out of 10 this comes to very tangible reasons if you think about it.
Best of Best 2009-2012: Korean ver. is set to be released on October 10, 2012 by EMI Music Japan to commemorate the one year anniversary of T-aras Japanese debut.

Taeyang comeback in November! Wooooooooo
Papa YG said:In Taeyang’s case, he was originally planned to release a summer solo album and promote it in the summer alongside G-Dragon. He finished producing his new album with American producers but he and I were not satisfied with the album so we decided not to release it. Taeyang is in the process of re-recording right now and in November he will release his new songs as singles.
I always knew YG loved YB the most.Papa YG said:as a Taeyang fan myself I have high expectations for his performances of his new solo songs.
Dice, can you re-up these?
Yewon looks like Ham in one of the pics.

Lol, wouldn't it be kind of funny if they were sitting around pre-debut, handing out personalities and "signature moves" WWE style. Like, "aight, we got 9 of you and you guys act too similar so we're going to have to make you stand out. Yoona, you can be the face, just sit pretty and smile a lot. Oh, and laugh like an alligator. Taengoo, act a little shy and pretend you're a lesbian. We'll let you decide which girl you're into. Jessica, you can be the bitch. Sooyoung, pretend like you eat; Sunkyu, act like a Japanese chipmunk; Hyo, you're the fashion terrorist. Seobaby, shy nerd, Yuri, S-line model. And Fany...just crinkle your eyes when you smile or something. And say dumb sh*t in Korean from time to time so we can remind everyone you speak English."

This is what the article implies taking Girls' Generation as an example - that everything about an idol life is carefully controlled and manufactured by the record company (SM gets called out for lawsuits, etc.).
The reporter ends the article by asking Tiffany if her "eye smile" is manufactured or real. She replies it is real, but what is she supposed to say with SM employee standing there?

nice
These are the same, except one has an additional grammar book? These are $90 at my school's book store IIRR.
When is that Ga-in album dropping anyway? I started listening to Bloom again and really like it lol

One of the comments in YT said Bloom was "Good Day for +19", lol.
Airport soshi. Taeyeon still cute without make-up, Yuri looking good.
just started Hello baby.. its pretty awesome.
Damn. Who is this? Idol? Actress?
Damn Teayeon and Yuri
So guys does fans really know these girls, are they cold to each other or friendly like on camera...just started Hello baby.. its pretty awesome. I understand they're all adults and this is mostly acting which they're mostly good at..
So I'm back in Cali, living in this shitty little town on the central coast. Well a few days ago I'm at a pool hall in a seedy part of town(people keep telling me not to walk there at night). I go baptize the urinal and on my way back to the bar I hear Gangnam Style blaring out the sound system. I started laughing, because I couldn't believe someone there would put it on the juke box. Hot bartender beez was like,"what happened, what's so funny?". I told her to listen to the song that's playing, she's like "what the fuck is this?". Then I gave her the rundown about Psy and how his song blew up. Good times
Edit: Oh yeah, Ga In...my nuts are going to be empty for a week straight.
I didn't feel like HB was acting.
She didn't know about Gangnam Style? wtf?
Fans can infer as much as they want from small nuances in each member's behaviour, but really its all fanfiction. I don't think anyone outside of SM knows what goes on behind dorm doors. The T-ara thing, as an extreme example, blew up, but we still don't know what really happened.HB??? In general just wondering if they mean beoches to each other or they sisteas, hell I'm sure they're all sick of each other....lol
Gangnam Style.... also listening to this for the first time lol
HB???
hello baby
Airport soshi without make-up,

Which US producer could Taeyang be possibly working with? I hope it's for 1-2 songs at most. Taeyang and Teddy is the best combo ever. Plus another Choice37 intro.
lol when i read the statement, i thought the songs he made with the american producer were actually crap, so YG and him scrapped it and started over with another in-house production.Which US producer could Taeyang be possibly working with?

ughhh this looks like a blastI love the way MNET is handling this.
