New Orange Caramel is fun. Not quite as instantly catchy as Lipstick, that song just hooks you immediately. But it's a grower with some standout moments. Love the MV as well, another fun concept.

Was Hyo asked about her boyfriend or is her relationship still some kind of weird open secret that nobody's acknowledged publicly?

They were doing the "if you don't want to answer you have to sing a line from a song" game, and she stammered a bit before doing her "nal bwa" line from Mr Mr. She was wearing a Fvcksleep hoodie, a brand that her boyfriend is known to promote (it might even be his own brand actually) which makes it even funnier. On Radio Star today, Tiffany said Hyo wasn't allowed to come because she speaks very frankly and is terrible at keeping secrets, so probably she would just spill the beans about everyone dating. I wonder if they'll talk about boyfriends on Healing Camp? From what I can tell it seems a likely candidate.

Quizzes!
Name the members: 107/130. I don't know anyone from F-ve Dolls lol. I can't believe I remembered that many names.
SNSD: 73/78. I had like 4 minutes remaining but I just couldn't think. I didn't know where Yuri or Yoona were born and I couldn't remember Sunny, Taeyeon or Yoona's solo stages. Pretty happy with that though.

For the second quiz, is there supposed to be music playing? Nothing was happening when I tried that one :(

Ah, I thought it'd be something like that. I've turned off all my extensions but it's still not displaying any player. Let me keep trying because now I'm curious

Edit: Ok I had to open it in internet explorer (gross) but it's working. Let's go.

Welp, shouldn't have bothered with that one. I got
9/45
I really need to listen to more music. How embarrassing.

Ok let me do the SNSD one next.

25/29. A lot of early material/ballads i.e. songs I don't listen to. I knew some but there were a couple I don't think I've ever heard before. Looks like roa and loci are the ones to beat overall, great scores you two.

As good as I was hoping from the teaser. Gives me a modern Portishead/Morcheeba vibe (+rapping).

CL is confirmed to be in Psy's next MV (with previously seen G-Dragon and Snoop Dogg). Korean media say she's the 3rd "muse" following Hyuna and Gain.

Yesss @ IU naming Younha

IU revealed which female singers she thought were the best in Korea while appearing on Kim Shin Young's MBC radio program on March 13.

DJ Kim Shin Young asked, "Who is the best female vocalist in all of Korea?" IU replied, "Younha and Ailee for solo artists; Girls' Generation's Taeyeon and SISTAR's Hyorin for singers in groups."

So what the hell is going with 2NE1?

I just got back from spring break and check up on Asian Junkie to see this hubris:

As if we needed more confirmation since the last time that YG&#8216;s life revolves around SNSD and comparing 2NE1 to them, here&#8217;s a recent article on the official site.

"2NE1 has a firm standing in the K-POP world. Their songs are based on African-American music, they have their own characteristics, and that is why they are popular in and outside the country. 2NE1 is different from other girl groups which are either cute or sexy."

Also, 2NE1 is DIFFERENT, Y&#8217;ALL! Just had to remind you of how different they are. Cause they&#8217;re different. Constantly reminding you of this isn&#8217;t proof that they aren&#8217;t that different after all or that it&#8217;s just as contrived a marketing tactic like everybody else.

"With the release of the second album, it seems that 2NE1 is becoming more powerful. 2NE1 easily won the competition against Girls&#8217; Generation, which released its new song around the time 2NE1 did. 2NE1&#8217;s album ranked 61 in the U.S. Billboard Album Chart, &#8220;Billboard 200&#8221; on Mar. 5. This is much better than that of &#8220;Twinkle&#8221;, the mini album by a unit of Girls&#8217; Generation, &#8220;Taetiseo,&#8221; whose best ranking was 126. In the Single Chart &#8220;Hot 100,&#8221; Psy&#8217;s &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221; ranked as high as 2, but 2NE1&#8217;s is the first time that a K-POP singer made into 100 in the &#8220;Billboard 200.&#8221;

Yo, YG just bragged about selling 6000 albums in America, thus &#8220;winning&#8221;. I wish I could be so shameless.

Somehow that article isn&#8217;t even the best part about today though. No, because apparently Blackjacks are mad as fuck at Mnet and M! Countdown, so they have this #JUSTICEforCOMEBACKHOME hashtag on Twitter that is absolutely GOLD.
Click to expand...

I'm not even black and I'm seriously offended by that statement about their music based on African-American music... like what the fuck is that supposed to mean? Then this hashtag bullshit... I can't even say/do anything other than shake my head.

Blackjacks are probably one of the worst fandoms in history... this isn't even entertainment but pure embarrassment for anybody who calls themselves a K-Pop fan. Yes, worse than EXO quite frankly.

If I was new to this K-Pop thing, I'd probably be turned away at this moment. What's worse is that YG keeps encouraging these fans to keep on masturbating over anything 2NE1... that 6000 who bought the album are probably one of these fappers. Anybody outside K-Pop who've seen how insane Blackjacks are wouldn't touch their shit with a 10 foot pole.

Awful. Not even because of the clothing but because she is so thin.
I am pretty sure those boots are supposed to be tight around the legs, but the lack of meat on her makes them all sloppy.

I think she's fine, that's her back to normal, she was in worst shape some months ago. You can see her in Oh! and Genie times with similar shape.
Throwback

That YG press release, I read it before while thinking it was some 12-yo fan writing it but then in the end there it was, YG signed...
