i lol'd.
no, it's not like that.. it's just funny to me that there's people out there that think this thread is all pics but when they scroll down they see what looks like a 9 page excerpt from a book lol
I thought it was a good read. I don't get too worked up over idols "appealing" to their audiences (however it's done) because it happens regardless of gender/age. If it works, more power to them.
My friends had to wait for hours in the sun for the 2012 MBC concert so I dunno if I'm down to drive to LA for dis. Here's hoping they have a paid concert too

You're concerned about long lines overlooking the "free" aspect of it? cmon son!
besides, its mid April so its not summer weather yet
I actually dislike plastic surgery. I find it hard to say the said face attractive, when I know that the face is fake. I mostly see this in Korean pics really. Some of them are naturally pretty (to some extent I guess, because almost all asians do eye surgery), but others, they look downright unnatural when you see them in motion.
You mentioned before that people here appreciate pretty faces, but is it appreciation while knowing that something was done to their faces? I find that saying one appreciates beauty (usually referred to natural beauty when brought up from what I understand), and then saying appreciating the beauty of korean women that did plastic surgery, while knowing that it is unnatural, are conflicting with one another. Not pointing this at you, just saying in general.

Yes, everyone here knows, and doesn't care. If someone styles their hair do you go "Pssh, that isn't natural. I bet it is flat, oily, and dull in color if they don't use any products."? If someone has a nice smile do you go "That's so fake, I'm just looking at an orthodontist here."?
I would bang this entire country if I could.
Korean woman are hot and that's it. Dice has a point. Like I said pages ago, we are all trying to increase our sex appeal. Every piece of clothing you choose is thinking how good you would look in the eyes of the opposite sex. Otherwise a man wouldn't mind wearing all pink. We cannot just say "Fuck social convention" when is convenient to us.
Yes, few of them look weird because they Chose to do weird Shit with their face, but they're human beings just like you and me in the end of the day.
People with plastic surgery are not worth of loving? Puff.
I think we should just let everyone do their own thing and go on with our lives. They would not do such extreme procedures if there wasn't people who appreciates them. Let it be is what I think.
I like them in all colors, forms and shapes. Bring it on.

Hair is completely different than your facial features, both don't compare. So, people here don't care? Does that mean the people here like superficial beauty? That sounds somewhat shallow.
Shallow is discriminating people because their personal choices, saying that someone is better because they chose different paths in life.
Would you really give different treatment to people who did plastic surgery? I think you need to review your behavior. Hair is just like a face. What's the difference?

Edit: Staying out of this. Have a better BESTie comeback link.
Minah solo coming next week? Interesting.
Toheart (Woohyun & Key) - Prologue. I know Isuzu was looking forward to this one. It's just a teaser so there's not much going on, but it's probably worth checking out.
I think she's talking about having to wait for the comeback.
Beating a group of children in a skiing race then bragging about it online, who else but the true Korean Queen of winter Olympic sports? #fvcksleep #Pyeongchang2018WinterOlympics

It would seem this is the Girl's Day solo release that was mentioned months ago. I'm guessing it's digital-only (to sacrifice it like that with no teaser/promo against SNSD/2NE1/etc)

Bravo Dice, those long ass posts are awesome. Sums up some of my thoughts perfectly.
The plastic surgery issue... I've talked about this before, so let me just get straight to the point since it's also 7AM over here.
If getting plastic surgery makes the girl happy, then who are you to judge?
From the perspective of a woman who got plastic surgery, that's exactly the question she asked me when I told her I was originally against plastic surgery.
Hate all you want, but happiness trumps any bullshit people come up with it.

Video footage. She's the best. No clue what she's saying but she's the best. Answering questions from fans, ignoring her manager telling her it's time to leave, getting the manager to help her answer questions from fans... So sweet.
Her speech is kinda awkward. Is that why they say she's a robot?
Some kind of event celebrating Girl's Day #1 win with Something.
Rookie cutie pie alert: Melody Day - Another parting (teaser)
Sojin, Hyeri and Minah read some emotional things at the end, Yura does aegyo and dumb things. Love her.
Rookie cutie pie alert: Melody Day - Another parting (teaser)
She's called a robot because until a few years ago, she was always kind of stone-faced, expressionless and kind of boring when on screen. I didn't pay much attention to her myself until a few years ago when she suddenly started emoting (often to a forced, awkward degree) and did awesome stuff for people off-stage.
I don't know what she's saying there, maybe she's tired from just finishing a series of acting performances and is trying to come up with something thoughtful to say while engaging the fans. Definitely not called a robot for her speaking skills, I'd say she's usually far more thoughtful/meaningful in speaking than most idols.

Before their first Something win, Minah promised she would buy lunch for fans if they won. This was around 300 or so fans that were first to get a ticket for the event.

Aesthetics are shallow. They always have been. Appreciating aesthetics does not mean you are disregarding everything else. Also, having shallow admirations that are not at the expense of other things is not inherently bad, and there are many other areas where people receive things in this way and it is not looked down upon, making them hypocrites. I wrote about it on my blog once, so I'll just copypaste that here.
I was speaking about typical happy-mood kpop specifically when I wrote this, so obviously I recognize that not all art is marked by pleasantness, but can have other purposes. Also, in view of my points on natural vs cultivated quality, in non-talent areas like the visual side, plastic surgery is a choice the person makes, to close the gap. To me it is no different than that hypothetical cook with no sense of smell getting a surgery (which doesn't exist) to give him a better sense of smell.Dice said:
It is a practical thing for a practical purpose that is realistic about the nature and roles of pop arts and human nature that we can't change. If the person who gets plastic surgery has a really solid understanding on these things, like say, the Brown Eyed Girls, I think that is actually pretty cool. If you are deeply bothered by it because it is more permanent than styling your hair or clothes, and that makes it "different" then you need to articulate why that difference is apparently bad to pass judgement on the practice. Your feelings do not determine truth for the universe.
Also, bear in mind that a picture doesn't show a person's heart, it shows their image. If people here like someone for their artistry or character or personality, they aren't going to post a picture of that person to share those things with others. They'll probably link to performances or post a translated interview or variety show, and that does happen pretty often.
yuna definitely shoulda gotten gold, we were talkin bout it in irc.
worst part is, adelina was one point off the world record for FS, which Yuna set at vancouver (beating the previous record she set), and adelina's FS today wasn't even as close to being that wonderful.
Yuna was underscored in the SP and Adelina was overscored in the FS.

So sad for Yuna, she clearly deserved better at both programs... But when you have 6 URSS Judges out of 15, it was already done even before performing.
And just to add to this robbery, it looked like they didn't even tried to hide it, at least a bit, on the reverse, they did it proudly and like it was absolutely nothing to fuss about.
Congrats Russia, you gain some more haters, too bad for you the next olympics are in Korea, wishing to you a warm welcome there.

You seem pretty obsessed with lurking this thread and trolling, you should probably find something more constructive to do in that time.Apparently everyone here suddenly became figure skating experts...

You don't need to be an expert to see that the judging was bullshit when the gold medal winner scored so much better while still making an error in her performance. Meanwhile the silver and bronze winners made no error and performed just as well. It's a bullshit call and it's something I knew was coming since the scores yesterday when Yuna was most definitely underscored.

Agreed. For someone who keeps saying how we all need lives and fuck women or pussy and shit, he's still here lurking.
Bro, you can project all you want but everyone knows the bullshit you're fronting.
Everyone got robbed today at the Olympics, how the hell does Canada pull two goals out of their asses in less than 5 minutes?! And scoring at the last 5 seconds of a power play?!?!
