K-Pop Fanboy/Fangirl |OT5| Controversies Over Nothing

I used to be more active in these threads but work and life have been pretty hectic.

Has OC been keeping up with the OP? I want to know what the latest stuff is. The "new releases" seem a bit old. It was very convenient having all the newest videos on there.

Saw that your last post in the thread was 2 months ago, so I'm going to post some of the highlights during that period of time.

Nine Muses - Gun. #Yearof9muses
BESTie - Love Options. Very catchy, you have been warned.
miss A - Hush. High nosebleed potential (the song is OK)
Glen Check - Young Generation. (Album of the year contender)
VIXX - Only U
VIXX - Voodoo Doll
Lim Kim - Goodbye 20
2NE1 - Missing You
Taeyang - Ringa Linga
Trouble Maker - Now
yes please come quickly 2013 has been shitty. :/
Ermmm.... suuuure...

The new T-ara mv is so good and all we have is crappy fan uploads... sigh.

Pendy linked a good quality version, quoted down here vvv
Edit: Direct link here
CCM still hasn't uploaded the T-ara MV (of course they haven't).

Record of the stream is now up though. MVs of Ballad and Dance versions start around 5:55, with BTS stuff afterwards and then press conference.
-----
Some bonus japanese releases:
U-kiss - Fall in love
TVXQ - White
Super Junior - Blue World. This one is quite good.

Dream Tea (Girl's Day's agency) has been acquired by Star M.
Girl’s Day, Lee Jongsuk, and Oh Yeonseo are now all on the same team… Star M acquires Dream Tea

[Kim Jihyun for TVREPORT] The girl group Girl’s Day has been brought together with actor Lee Jongsuk and actress Oh Yeonseo.

On the 2nd, a representative for Dream Tea Entertainment revealed: “Dream Tea, the company behind Girl’s Day, has become a subsidiary of Wellmade Star M. The current staff will remain intact and team up with the staff of the parent company.”

The representative explained further: “Even after the merger, Girl’s Day and Jevice will continue to be with Dream Tea. As the two companies affiliate with one another, Lee Jongsuk and Oh Yeonseo will naturally be under the same roof as Girl’s Day.”

Wellmade Star M now holds 100% of Dream Tea Entertainment’s shares (a net worth of 1.1 billion KRW / approximately 1 millon USD), but Dream Tea will still manage its groups and maintain its role in the music production for them.

Seul Gi from SM Rookies
She's so pretty! I'm excited to see her debut.

Saw the Facebook page. So it's a mixed gender group then. (Although SM could promote pre-debut group through photos and vids under this "Rookie" title in order to get interest/cash and then form different groups closer to debut, I guess.)

2nd Edit: Press release seems to hint at my bracketed assumption:
Seulgi (19), Jeno (13), Taeyong (18), are kicking off the introduction of 'S.M.ROOKIES', which is a pre-debut team, as in a team that is formed to showcase rookies to the public before their debut. The pre-debut team has no conditions or requirements in regards to its formation or number of members and will give rookies a chance to collaborate in various ways and forms.

You'll soon get to witness SM's star-making process as the rookies' talents and their everyday lives are shown through various contents released, some of which include the release of remake songs of their sunbae singers.

In addition to observing the growth and progress leading up to each trainee's official debut, it's said the public will be able to directly participate in the whole process.

The SNSD album sounds a lot better than their 2nd JP.

If SM rookies is mixed it would be the first interesting launch from SM in a while.

I like Flyers, Karma Butterfly, and Everyday Love from the samples. Gossip Girls is too repetitive "we are the gossip gossip gossip gossip girrrrrlssss"

Heh. This reminds me of how much I cant stand Rainbow's Gossip Girl. Mainly due to the bad engrish pronunciation

The Glue MV Teaser already has 220k views on youtube. Maybe they will finally hit the 1mil mark with the MV release.
The viewer count on their MVs is ridiculous.

Jang Jae In signed with Yoon Jong Shin's label. Expect another female solo artist to dominate the charts early next year.

I was talking personally... money problems/ family health

Sorry to hear that. I would rather be arguing about how good/bad have been this year releases. Let's hope that this year ends on a positive note and we all have a flawless 2014 so then all our problems are related to kpop releases next year :p

Hey baby yo baby yo

Looks like 9Muses won't be at MBC gayo daejun.
 
Aren't a lot of those gayo daejuns pre recorded?

I'd pay to see the support act over the main act. The top ticket price is pretty good for two kpop acts in singapore.

Is Zinger the worst kpop surgery victim ever? I doubt she'd even recognise herself if she'd seen that photo a couple years ago.

I said she looked worse when her face was different just from losing weight, but now it's a true horror show that looks more like ET than a human.

I like most songs, it approaches more to the 1st album sound, more electro pop than the second one, which I also like but its songs lacks some spark to really standout. Reflection stands out, also it looks like more a 1st album song.

Some says Flyers looks like an anime song, but if you put all lyrics in English, it also looks like an American pop song, OST of a teen movie :p

2014, new SM girl group debut I guess. Only the concept is not assured.

Guess they're trying to dial it back a little after their last "spread legs as far as humanly possible/grind crotch in your face" comeback.
That wasn't bad... also they have had two comebacks since then and the second one was so adorbs.

Like Juniel, she reminds me of characters in FFXII.

Motorcycle and Flyers are so good! Typical, all the non-singles are great tracks while the actual singles are disappointing. Loved Hyo's lines in Motorcycle. The previews for the other songs sound really good too. Can't believe the turn-around, I'm actually looking forward to this album now.

Should have used this as the album cover though:

It's 2 months old but it's a much better photo. Kind of reminds me of one of the sets f(x) got for Pink Tape.

Do You Know Me? is brilliant. Love it. I thought they were meant to be releasing a ballad or something? I don't think I've been following T-ara closely enough. I'm glad it wasn't though, I much prefer upbeat songs and this is a great song.

I'm so ready for Glue. That second teaser looks amazing. Only one more day of waiting left. Apologies if these have been posted but for some reason I can't see any of the photos Pendulum posted:

There's the ballad version at the start of what has been uploaded as the "official" MV
screw you CCM I'm still angry
. The "Coming Soon!" listed there makes me think we might get more uploads tomorrow when the song officially releases (perhaps separate Ballad, Dance versions?)

Apologies if these have been posted but for some reason I can't see any of the photos Pendulum posted:

Why are you so special?

It's Sera~ Are you surprised? We're spending these days finishing our practicing, listening to the track and practicing our live singing to deliver an appropriate performance, we wonder what the reactions will be... It's our 4th promotion this year, but I'm still nervous and curious. I have a request. Even though we haven't done much PR, I want to let you know about the things that only we, the members, know.
Around the end of 'Gun' promotions, we wanted to see you again this year, so Nine Muses have put their heads together. But because we wouldn't be able to do it on our own, we invited over the styling team, A&R team, MV director, the Sweetune family, choreography team, management team and even division staff from abroad. Together we proposed and listened to each other's ideas for 'Glue', and after many hours of thinking hard we pieced it all together. We poured out all ideas for jacket concept and MV, talked about the costumes and how the song should feel. It hasn't been too long since we decided on the song, but it's full of our ideas.
Our three maknaes said that love you can't escape from reminds them of a noose. So Lee Sem and Erin said it would be nice to focus on our necks as main points. Hyuna brought along all kinds of materials to use for outfits, she had plenty of ideas for costumes. She even talked about spacesuits. Lee Sem couldn't even say a word because of Eunji, who had lots of ideas about the choreography formations and concepts, while Sungah was showing pictures of her plans for the MV to the director. And that's how we spent the whole night. Even though it's not just our work, 'Glue' was mostly born out of feelings and ideas that came from our heads. Many people don't even know Nine Muses are having a comeback. Please, walk with us step by step, that will allow us to grow and mature as artists.
Our Mines, all of you are Nine Muses' hope.
Oh, and please, share this with international Mines who may not be able to access the official fancafé. Do it for us.

There's the ballad version at the start of what has been uploaded as the "official" MV
screw you CCM I'm still angry
. The "Coming Soon!" listed there makes me think we might get more uploads tomorrow when the song officially releases (perhaps separate Ballad, Dance versions?)

Oh ok, well that makes sense. Separate versions sounds plausible, I'd be interested to see how it translates to a ballad.

Why are you so special?

I don't know :(

Any pictures from Twitter or Facebook just don't show up for some reason. Sometimes if I quote the post the url shows up but other times it's just completely blank. I'm assuming it's something to do with Chrome, but it's all up to date and none of my extensions should be interfering with anything here. I don't understand it but it's bloody annoying.
