After weeks of laziness and being trapped in a snowball, here's the first part of one of the interviews that I made with a Korean classmate: link

llehuty, are you doing one recap a day? The real 12 days of christmas. Good work, man. That Gaeko track is great, shame I missed it the first time around.

Isuzu that was a brilliant review. How often do the Exo-K members do stuff in Chinese? I didn't think any of the members outside of Exo-M spoke Chinese. Do they?

Those BTS videos of the Love & Peace stuff were fun. I always like seeing the members having a laugh.

Just watched first episode of Yoona's new drama, first episode not too bad. She fits the young, bright, and humorous characters much better than all the other ones shes played. Her acting isn't too shabby this time around too.

Isuzu that was a brilliant review. How often do the Exo-K members do stuff in Chinese? I didn't think any of the members outside of Exo-M spoke Chinese. Do they?

Thanks. Well, that was the first time. In the History/MAMA era they promoted as ot6 but when they reunited as 12, K sang in korean and M in mandarin, even if they were singing the same song at the same time. This time, though, SM thought it would be a brilliant idea to throw D.O and Baek in the M version and Kris in the K version. I'm kinda pissed because I stan Xiumin and K people are taking his lines.

About the mandarin, well, there was this thing. D.O. was supposed to debut in M instead of Chen, and was studying the language for a long time and everything but then SM found Chen (he was the one who trained the less). Chen then asked to be put into M and D.O. got pissed, ofc. Anyway, none of the korean members can speak mandarin well and all the chinese ones can speak korean because they're better and Exo-M is better.

Also, Exo is selling pretty well.

New T-ara song in 3 days.
T-ara will release a new song this week!

On the 11th, T-ara's agency Core Contents Media said that on the midnight of the 14th, T-ara will release the new title song "Hide and Seek" through various music sites.

"Hide and Seek" is the joint-work of composers Baek Deoksang and Baek Hyunjung. It is a medium-tempo ballad with an acoustic guitar. The lyrics are compared love to hide and seek.

After the release of T-ara's repackaged 8th mini album "What Do I Do", fans were aware "Hide and Seek" was the hidden track on it. Originally, T-ara was planning to release "Hide and Seek" later this month, but because of the interest being shown into "What Do I Do" by fans, T-ara decided to unveil it early.

T-ara said, "T-ara will appear with a different image for 'Hide and Seek'. The music video is totally different from 'Number Nine' and 'What Do I Do'."

The six members of T-ara released a new image teaser of "Hide and Seek" today with a snowy background dressed in snowmen and Santa outfits.

The new SECRET mini - "Remember Me" and "Fantastic" are superior to "I Do I Do" (not hard).

Controversies About Nothing.
Allkpop text, so wade through it if you wish

A few audio clips have been circulating the internet that were somehow leaked online. Fans believed that the male voices heard through the game are members of EXO while the female voices heard belong to the members of A Pink. The clips aroused quite some attention, bringing about responses from both SM and A Cube Entertainment.

Through the voice files, netizens were able to hear men and women chatting while playing a game together, even swearing at times throughout their gaming session. With the mention of members' names, the voices, and even the singing at times, fans seemed pretty sure that the male voices belonged to EXO. Many also concluded that the female voices belong to A Pink.

When reached for comments, SM admitted that the voices did belong to the members of EXO. One rep told Newsen, "It seems like the conversation was from when the EXO members were playing games on their private time with their acquaintances." Another rep told Segye, "I've head the mentioned audio files. It's a private conversation between members of EXO and people they know. There is nothing in the files that would cause an issue."

On the other hand, A Pink's reps firmly denied that the girls were a part of this. They stated, "The voices heard in the file spreading on the internet is not A Pink's... All of the A Pink members enjoy playing simple mobile games during their break time in between schedules... But they do not play online games. After confirming with the members, they definitely don't play that game and they have never conversed with EXO through a game like the voices in the audio file."

Audio clips are here and here.

After the leak of the audio files containing EXO's online gaming chat session and the agencies' response to the speculations, an alleged text message history between the leaker of the files and EXO's Suho has been revealed on various online communities.

As mentioned before, the audio files that were speculated to contain the voices of EXO and A Pink members raised questions from fans about how involved the two groups are, as well as leaving some frowning as swearing was heard in the clips. A Cube Entertainment denied that the female voices are A Pink, while SM Entertainment admitted that the male voices do indeed belong to the EXO members.

Since then, an alleged text message history has been circulating that indicates that the leaker of the audio files may have contacted Suho about them.

The text message history starts off with the leaker texting 'Kim Joon Myun', which is Suho's real name.

The exchange that can be seen reads as follows:

-

kPob7Fb.jpg


Kim Joon Myun (K): So whether how big or small, are you saying you're threatening me? What is it that you want

Leaker (L): Ah it's not a threat... I only revealed 3 minutes of it, so you won't be suing or anything like that right? I didn't release the original

K: So what is that you want

L: What I want?? I told you it's not a threat, there's nothing I want.. kekeke... I'm not getting sued right? It's not a rumor or starting a circulation

K: Okay then please don't contact me~

L: I asked if I won't be sued even if I release all of it

K: Yes the others are not from a different group, they are non-celebrities, so don't cause them harm

L: A Pink and you oppas are there, so you can't say they're non-celebrities.. It even has you guys calling out Bbomi noona

K: So are you contacting me because you want to release it but you want to know if you'd get sued

L: Yes

K: They are not A Pink, we're just saying Bboom or something, we're referring to that woman's [game] ID.. Don't cause harm to other groups please... And if that's what you're wondering then go ask the court instead of texting me.

-

Many believe the leaker to be a sasaeng fan as EXO is known to have quite a number of extreme fans who actually end up causing harm to the group rather than doing them any good.

Very brief SNSD appearance in the 2013 YouTube Rewind (wrap up) video. Go to 2:13 for a very small image of them for 1 second. Psy's "Gentleman" gets mixed into the song around the same time.

I recognized, like, 5 other references in this video. I think I'm glad I didn't know more.

Thank you! Awesome work! Can't wait for the next months, especially March, June, August and December, if you know what I mean.
please llehuty, lol
Thanks haha.

Funny thing is, I'm actually enjoying sitting around and writing this. It's a good way to get some other creative juices flowing these days as I've been stuck in writers block for music. I write something then two minutes later I'm immediately bored of it. This story on the other hand, it actually has directions and possibilities where me and ryan-ts can take it so it's quite fun.
Didn't know that you wrote songs, hopefully all of this can help you go through the writers block.
After weeks of laziness and being trapped in a snowball, here's the first part of one of the interviews that I made with a Korean classmate: link
Good job, interesting interview.

(I don't have any K-Pop .gifs yet this will have to do!)

Hmm...mostly straight-up K-Pop. I really like 2NE1 (this hasn't been their best year but they're still great), f(x) (I've always liked them), Nine Muses (haven't listened past the singles but every one this year has been soooo good), and SNSD ("I Got A Boy" is my song of the year). I'm not too knowledgeable about the indie/hip-hop scenes, but Korea is doing so many exciting things with pop music that I'm pretty happy with my playlist already :)

After seeing EXO perform at the MAMAs I think I like them, too!

It's great to meet you <3

EDIT: I also really like reading K-Pop analysis and criticism on sites like radio-palava and The Singles Jukebox!

There will be no YG artists at MBC & KBS Gayo Daejun. SBS <3 YG

That sucks, last year they skipped KBS and it felt really empty. I wonder if SBS will have the 31st to 1st night again, I hope so... last year Big Bang's stage during the countdown was great.

I'm pretty sure you already know more than this guy. Anyway, bias list? Any particular ranking of your favourite group/s?

Thanks. Well, that was the first time. In the History/MAMA era they promoted as ot6 but when they reunited as 12, K sang in korean and M in mandarin, even if they were singing the same song at the same time. This time, though, SM thought it would be a brilliant idea to throw D.O and Baek in the M version and Kris in the K version. I'm kinda pissed because I stan Xiumin and K people are taking his lines.

About the mandarin, well, there was this thing. D.O. was supposed to debut in M instead of Chen, and was studying the language for a long time and everything but then SM found Chen (he was the one who trained the less). Chen then asked to be put into M and D.O. got pissed, ofc. Anyway, none of the korean members can speak mandarin well and all the chinese ones can speak korean because they're better and Exo-M is better.

Thanks for the explanation. I actually remember seeing them perform History as all 12 and it was super weird, switching back and forth between Korean and Mandarin. And poor Xiumin :( from the people I follow on twitter, I get the impression he doesn't get much screentime or many lines to begin with (I don't know how accurate that is but it seemed that way.) I may have to give the M versions of their songs a proper listen, I've only really paid attention to the K stuff which appears to have been a mistake.


Ugh, I would love that. They should re-release it
and give Sungah a line or two to sing
so they can do a full blown OT9 MV. So much hair-whipping... (Thanks again for the monthly recap!)

I like the 'hey look at these' part of the choreo. this is good too

I agree.
Absolutely SHAMELESS self-promotion.

The ever-watchful netizens managed to gif it:

Looks like 2014 is going to be the year of Hyo, Seohyun, Jessica and Sunny. Thanks for the hint, YouTube!

Hi! Yes, another Nine Goddesses fan! Don't worry, I don't know much either. I'm just learning as I go along. Have you checked out the first post, featuring orangecaramel's monstrous summary page? There's bound to be something there that you might not have heard before but you really like.

Xiumin isn't very popular in the int. fandom, but in Korea he's very popular. I won't say he's THE most popular member but Lay implied it pretty hard on their show. And yes, you should check on M versions, they're great!
