On Dice's point, see what a mix of styling and image post processing can do - this is also Hara.

Probably the first photo of hers that I've had to look twice to check its her.

Looks like a crack whore that got photoshopped really good lol.

Yeah, that Humming Urban Stereo album is killer. Worst song off it is Hawaiian Couple since it doesn't feel as good as the original.

Btw, I didn't know G.NA can actually sing lol. She doesn't have killer pipes, but she fit the song really well. If she could turn up the sexy voice a little bit though, oh man... it'd be perfect.

EDIT: Top of page = a Fany.

Prelim results, oh...

[No No Eul]

Her nose is different, yeah (though not has noticeable as the video posted some pages back), but a dose of Photoshop also contributes.

It'll be interesting to see what she looks like in motion under more natural lighting conditions.

Prelim results, oh...

As much as I would like to see somebody else win for variety's sake, it'll be pretty cool if she wins twice in a row.

Yo, on the HUS album Ashley sounds so much like Serri.

Two MVs. HYPE

 

[Pendulum]

According to the business reports sent to the Financial Supervisory Service from the big three entertainment companies of K-Pop, SM, YG, and JYP Entertainment, SM Entertainment came out on top with the most revenue last year.

Last year, SM Entertainment made 270 billion won (~ $260 million USD), which is almost twice the revenue compared to two years prior in 2011, 140 billion won (~ $140 million USD). Meanwhile, YG made 120 billion won (~ $110 million USD), which is a 49% increase from 2011 when they posted revenue of 78 billion won (~ $76 million USD).

JYP Entertainment came in last with 21 billion won (~ $21 million USD). One entertainment rep said, "These companies are establishing affiliates and more, all of which are great factors to their business, so it looks like the profit scale will continue to grow in the future."

These three companies are influential to the point that some people say the whole broadcasting production process in itself would be difficult if there were no celebrities signed under one of three companies in the broadcasting world.

(Source is AKP, so I wouldn't wholly trust their maths/reporting. In a previous story they missed earnings from non-parent companies from their reporting.)

 

[Dice]

The "JYP Nation" is split among partnering companies, and I don't think that is adding them all together.

Rain has nothing to do with JYP anymore?

Yeah, I'd be a bit upset about it if Kara wasn't pretty much dead already.

Hyunyoung with minimal makeup is a giant improvement over no makeup where she looks like a different person.

 

[No No Eul]

A few releases here and there. Some recent-ish stuff that springs to mind:

IU
Hyosung
G.NA's backup dancers
Jiyeon
NS Yoon-G
Crayon Pop
Apink
Akdong Musician

There's been loads of really good alternative music in the thread recently too.

Davichi to Release an Album in June, Still Undecided on New Agency

Core Contents Media revealed to news outlet Star News on May 21, “Davichi will release a new mini album in mid-June and start their activities.”

As the duo decided to leave the agency back in February when their contract expired, this news comes as a surprise to many of Davichi’s fans. However, it was reportedly announced at the time that Core Contents Media will produce an album for Davichi regardless of any contractual issues.

Jiyeon Gets Serious in Interview on Mnet’s “4 Things Show”

T-ara’s Jiyeon, who recently made her debut with her first solo single “Never Ever,” appeared on the May 20 episode of Mnet’s “4 Things Show: Outrageous Interview.”

Jiyeon also had a psychological test, where she vocalized her serious stresses and concerns. The psychologist said, “Right now, in your current state, you need professional help.

Sojin updated her Instagram.

I swear I've seen that Adidas cake in birthday pictures with so many idols this year.

KKS is no doubt a man of the old school who doesn't believe in psychologists or such things as 'emotions' at all.

Her first LP was Amy Winehouse? Fuck I'm old.

Her first Vinyl LP, yeah. I know people who have never owned a vinyl before so it's not that weird

Oh man, I would so go to this if I could. Are Korean pride parades pretty similar to American ones, do you know?

This is the part where someone points out that Hara 2.0 now looks more Hara than Hara 1.0.

Not me though, good heavens no.

K-Pop stars Girls' Generation, Bangtan Boys headline KCON 2014

The event, produced by the South Korean media giant CJ E&M and the cable network MNET, has booked Girls' Generation, one of K-Pop's marquee acts, as this year's headliner. The group's delightfully zany videos for tracks including "I Got a Boy" recently passed a billion views on YouTube, and they've released albums in the U.S. for Interscope Records.

The rap group Bangtan Boys is also booked as a top-billed act [watch several members of the group tackle "School of Tears," an edit of Kendrick Lamar's "Swimming Pools (Drank)"].

This year's event will feature two full nights of concerts, doubling last year's performances.The conference will run Aug. 9-10 at a still to-be-determined downtown L.A. venue. The event has become a popular and eclectic hub for K-pop fans in L.A.

 

[llehuty]

They could just have girls' generation both days and still it would be totally sold out.
