come on now, you are both the sexiest.
That's because she said in the past (I don't know when) she could be a SNSD member... Probably at most she was a trainee at the same time as the girls and the perception is that she did that for shameless self-promotion... and it's still going.

I should give up on iSUBS right? Have KShowNow improved their sub translations?
Wow I just realised they're over a year behind now. Maybe I need to think about dropping my standards a bit and accept averageness. I'll give them another couple months before I move on though, gotta have faith in something ahah.
When they enter for the cooking part? Kinda makes sense to me - 1 episode meeting partners and getting ingredients, next episode cooking. How would you have suggested it?
Edit:
Dohee (Tiny-G) and Siwan (ZE:A) will be on Running Man in 2 weeks. Third appearance by a Star Empire (ZE:A) idol. Bring on the Muses.
Yup, getting to that point where its a bit much. They won't ever catch up at this rate
Hello Venus' Alice, AoA's Choa, Fiestar's Hyemi, BESTie's Hyeyeon, Wa$$up's Dain & Jinju, Rainbow's Jisook perform a SNSD tribute.
Edit: Performance
Gyuri and Seungyeon introduced it. Where's the KARA tribute?

It's good enough although I recommend streaming from Dramafever if you live in the US as they actually own the US license for it along with having good subs.

@___@ dem pants my heart
Here you go, I got these off somebody's tumblr half a year ago and I can't find the source anymore so I had to reupload it. Credit goes to the person who originally scanned and uploaded them.
Why not just get a hard copy of it? I got it for ~10USD
(shipping excluded)
Here's a taste of a few scans from that set:

Hopefuly DSP grows some balls before this and we get to see a proper KARA goodbye stage.
By the way, Orange Caramel comeback on Feb 6th and After School comeback on April 10th according to that Mnet Wide Entertainment News clip.
Not sure if the comebacks and dates marked on those calendars in that clip are legit but the OC comeback date was already mentioned beforehand by Pledis reps apparently.
Yeah you're probably right about that. It's a good EP indeed. Loving Love Beat.
But anyways, thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.

Another time, another place, Yura going in again.

Feels good to be alive man. *pops beer*

looks like she managed to get minah in the second gif, minah can't wipe it off fast enough
Busy because of classes but I'm slowly writing my text down. Happy to see my view matching a few sober GAFers.
The attitude from the woman on the video looks like a lot of foreigners you see here: trying to mock everything, making everything look weird, overthinking a bunch of useless stuff.
The video is long and there is a lot to analyze. These TV pieces are always made to manipulate your perception and bite in on whatever they're selling; the editing, the music, the narration, everything narrow down to it.
On the first part of the video, where she says she felt undressed: Coming to Seoul today and trying to understand these people without knowing their history is useless. The Korean fashion is the way it is because that's their "only option" to buy. I mean, probably because the thousands of cultural freedom movements, a lot of new looks were created in our western society. In Korea you never had a gothic movement, a punk one, a rock one, etc. In Seoul is not possible to dress "grunge style" if you want to. Well, maybe today it is because of globalization and shit, but you'll have to go to a very specific store. The same works the other way: There are stuff in Korea that doesn't exist on Brazil and I'm pretty sure in America too.
Regarding K-Pop: lol, was it really necessary to say that if you bring your SO home "you'll watch your father impale himself with a chopstick"? Which is not true. Having sex with someone in a motel and just bringing someone to introduce your parents are not really comparable.
K-Pop seems to be bigger outside of Korea then inside it. K-Pop is not infiltrated everywhere. The average people in their 18-middle twenties doesn't really care about K-Pop, and the ones who like it, just like casually. The ones who don't like it see as boring and aimed at middle/high school students.
The matching outfit: I'm still trying to figure out the big deal. People usually match sweaters of backpacks, or hats. The shop that she showed is kind of exception around here. Even if it wasn't, I don't know what's the fuss. Honestly :/
About plastic surgery. The word for it is 성형, and the chinese characters that expresses it has the same meaning as the Korean word: transformation, shaping (I asked one native from Taiwan). Like someone who uses their hands to craft pottery.
Funny enough, Eat Your Kimchi did a solid video about this. So, plastic surgery actually is "reshaping procedure" (it all com down to semantics after all). Here, they don't have bad meanings attached to plastic surgery. In western? Porn starts with gigantic and gross boobs, fake orgasms, celebrities paying thousands of millions in nosejobs, etc. Plastic infere a meaning of fake, fragile, cheap copy, cheap material, etc etc.
We are always "reshaping" ourselves: You are always make you look more attractive when you choose between a red or blue sweater, when you decide a new haircut, a pair of shoes, etc etc. Society was always about fitting in and making survival a success, and here looking good is part of that, although not as wee usually perceive. If you need to improve some facial traits to get a smoking hot husband or a high paying job, what's the big deal?
While studying cultural psychology I realize we westeners are most of the time a bag of shit, when we try to compare ourselves to or judge other cultures. We have this strong sense of a core personality, of our achievements being based on our on merits etc.
Stopped at 18m mark, later will watch the rest and quote a few people.
EDIT: And I'm the kind of person who likes to see, above all, NUMBERS. News "plastic surgery skyrocketing in Korea" doesn't really do much for me. It is still a smal thing, we think is huge because we are the consuming group. Is like saying that the life is good in x country when you are part of the 15% or so of people who have a decent financial condition to pay for shit, ignoring the rest of the popilation.
See ya!

New RM was definitely a good episode to kick off the new year.
Btw, not spoiler marking the partners as it seems irrelevant, besides one ridiculous reveal that is. Of course, "plot" is still gonna be blacked out... so avoid these if you really don't wanna read spoilers.
If I didn't know any better, I would think JiWook has something going on... his reveal and the sand castle scene looked way too friendly haha. The GaeKyung couple... really cute lol, they seemed to get along really well or at least know each other beforehand.
The Idiot Brothers as well, I'm glad they got partnered up again. They were hilarious in the ep a while back, kinda sad they didn't get that much screen time. Lastly, Tiger hyung and his model girl, oh man... she was so blatant at everything,
Btw, if the wiki's right... she's 3 years younger than him haha.
The next episode should be pretty awesome. Everyone seemed to mesh really well with each other, and the food looks really delicious. That bibimpap they showed, oh man I was frothing at the mouth and I was eating a proper Animal style burger/fries from In N Out when I saw that.

I wish the Monday Couple chat on the phone was longer though, it would've been more awesome if their partners got involved.
I highly doubt Kookie's that daft and can't realize that she's hitting on him hard.
