Woopwoop, bring on the weekend. I'm guessing Thanksgiving is a real big thing over in the US? Most of our national holidays seem to be more of an excuse to get hammered rather than what they're for. (UK)

Oh, another UKer? Whereabouts?

Live in Hartlepool when I'm not at college. I'm in South Shields at the moment, living up here till I go back to sea at the start of 2015.
Whereabouts you from?

I liked that. And Outsider involved too? Going to have to listen to the rest now.

Thanksgiving is not even a thing there, is it even a thing anywhere outside of the US? It is a very specifically American celebration isn't it? They just tweeted for American fans.

Korea does have a Harvest Moon festival that is often mistranslated as Thanksgiving called Chuseok but it's not the same date.

Yeah I've always assumed it was an exclusively American thing, I was just a bit surprised to see those tweets and photos. My knowledge of Korean customs and traditions is extremely limited but I knew there were a couple of people here who would know. Like you! Thanks for the answer. I'm just going to go ahead and see it as an excuse to hang out with friends and get drunk.

Fake edit: Another UKer here! Nearer to Pendulum than inversemateria. What public holidays do we even have? Like the bank holidays in May and August, the two for Easter and May Day?

Ahaha, same here. Might as well. I actually know almost nothing about Korea, other than a couple of things I've read about here and there.

Isuzu, are those 3 your favourite members?

Yeah. I enjoy stanning embarrassing people.

I can understand that. I don't like Kris and I'm indifferent on Luhan but Xiumin is probably the most ridiculously adorable thing I've ever seen. He's like a human chipmunk. When I first heard of Exo I thought he was the youngest. Oops.

Watching Grampas Over Flowers w/Sunny episodes.

I love how bitchy Seojin is at the beginning after being tricked in the first trip.

Whoa, Sunny is nonexistent at the Taiwan airport and Seojin get's mobbed instead.

Seojin always trying to ditch the production crew to be with Sunny solo, I would do the same.

Boss Sunny coming through with the cell tech and leading the way.

The captions just constantly talk shit about Seojin, "Good for nothing Seojin" lol

Love how Seojin as the man tries to take the lead, but Sunny cutely shows him the error of his ways and leads.

Na PD really is a spiteful PD, all those years having to deal with Kang Ho Dong and the 1N2D cast really made him a bastard lol

Sunny is kryptonite to these grandpas, probably all men in general.

Damn subs ended at the middle of episode 10. Time to check out Sooyoung's Cyrano Dating Agency or catch up on Answer Me 1994.

prince is a mean little shit.

 

[giri]

sooo why is she leaving...?

She hasn't given a real reason yet. I expect one will come from her twitter when she's finalised everything with the group. I believe she'll still be at the DSP concert on the 22nd. (or maybe it's the 11th? i forget).

The rest would be conjecture but the summary is that DSP are morons and don't want to be in business anymore.

IY should have ended when SunYul and Hyuna left. The last mission with the college kids was great and the campfire at the end with Hyomin's letter to Sunny was the climax, everything downhill from there. Even when Sunny guested to Japan it wasn't the same.

One thing I hate about Japanese albums is they always make the only decent covers the ones that cost like 7500yen. heh


Looks like EXO making another comeback next week with a winter themed album.

LOEN, in continuing to upload the T-ara back catalogue, has translated "&#52376;&#51020;&#52376;&#47100;" (Cheoeum Cheoreom/Like the First Time) as "Like a virgin". Others have new LOEN translations too.

Another 480p mess. Why does Korea hate youtube exactly? Even the audio sounds off.

 

[ramyeon]

Why does Korea hate youtube exactly?

Huh?

 

[B-Dex]

Huh?

A lot of kpop videos are low quality or only snippets etc...

 

[ramyeon]

A lot of kpop videos are low quality or only snippets etc...

I have no idea what you're talking about. To be honest it seems like you're confusing it with Japan since that's the current situation with Jpop.

Major Korean labels all upload teaser videos and music videos in 1080p on YouTube at the exact same time they're released to Korean music portals, weekly televised music performance shows are doing the same recently and there's even exclusive YouTube only content being pushed out by major labels. Not to mention Korean YouTube-only "TV channels" with exclusive content.

So yeah, I'm confused. The T-Ara stuff being reuploaded by LOEN is all older content (This particular example was released back in 2009), it's not new or even recent and they may not have the source in 1080p readily available.

 

[giri]

A lot of kpop videos are low quality or only snippets etc...

Following on from what Ramy said, all of which is true, there are some that haven't gone back and updated their back catalogue with 1080's.

There are some companies that don't like youtube, or, more correctly, ignore it for naver or melon or something. But over the last 2 years thats largely been remedied. You look at groups like crayon poop and they get a large amount of success from viral videos on youtube .

 

[neoism]

youtube has been fucking running like dogshit the past few days... its usually ok, but Kpop in general gets alot of fans from youtube... Seriously the past year I've watched a fuck ton of k-pop variety and MV.. I wouldn't have cared about Snsd at all mostly if it wasn't for youtube.

Looks like the 'Dangerous Boys' show they did a couple of years ago after 'The Boys' was released.

They were not kidding with them being more sexy. The type of release we need in winter. They better be invited to gayo daejuns this year.

Speaking of gayo daejuns, aren't they going to do the color of k-pop thing this year? I haven't heard anything...

Want Fany love? Make sure the dog likes you.

This is a different tour, Japanese tour, they may continue with the World Tour on other countries...

Anyway, looking at the date, and exlcuding a comeback 1,5 years after IGAB, I suppose a korean comeback is likely to happen in the first trimester. I just hope not so late because after IGAB they rushed to the 2nd Japanese Tour and not enough promotions time

Isn't T-ara using/recycling the I Got A Boy MV scenario?

 

[Pendulum]

Isn't T-ara using/recycling the I Got A Boy MV scenario?

"Street in a box" that other K-Pop acts have used as well? I believe this has a "musical" retro concept, hence the look of a stage street à la West Side Story.

IGAB is the one I could remember. Probably there are others.
