K-Pop Fanboy/Fangirl |OT5| Controversies Over Nothing

I wonder for how long Sulli and Choza (!) are dating. She had her eighteenth anniversary 6 months ago.
Edit: Maybe this was the date.

Also Sulli got some hate some time ago, and this appear. The same for the upcoming T-ara comeback, Seoyeon news appearing.

That T-ara teaser, is a Day by Day spin-off (without Dani)? Too soon to tell bu I approve Jiyeon's attire.

Too noob to go into either of the relevant threads but Attack on Titan - what's considered 'best' - the anime or the manga? Where should I start? Haven't watched an anime series in years and years, never mind reading manga.

Most big fans would probably say the manga, but I was in the same boat as you and just went with the anime. From what I hear it's pretty much a faithful recreation so far.

I've read the manga and watched the anime, I definitely like the anime more at the moment, the fights are much better animated than drawn imo.

Anime is fine, I have no desire to read the manga. Show can be pretty slow during the middle parts, just beware. I actually stopped watching it when there was a recap episode a few months back, but caught up last weekend. Final episode is this week and there's more manga left after that.

Actor Jung Kyung Ho has also said today that he is dating (a non-celebrity). I think this best sums up this larger situation with netizens and their reactions...

3. [+92, -1] Everyone's dating except me..

Seriously now?

Devastated may not have been the right word as it would've only lasted only 20 seconds lol. Disappointed might've been the better word.

Either way, it's a proper human reaction imo to get some sads when someone you like, celebrity or not, gets attached to someone else. Some people just take their obsession way too far and get riled up for practically no reason whatsoever.

You should check more Infinite if you haven't done yet. Giving you some extra tips (trying not to overlap with the previous recommendations)

VIXX - hyde
2PM - A.D.T.O.Y.
ZE:A - Phoenix
ZE:A - Ghost of Wind
B1A4 - Tried to walk
Shinhwa - This Love
Shinhwa - Venus
U-Kiss - Stop Girl

Nice, cheers for the links! I already know and love Hyde, I first listened to it after you (I think it was you?) linked that amazing dance practice video. Great song.

The MV for This Love is so good. Didn't expect to see 6 guys vogueing in a k-pop video, that's for sure.

Also, and I know I'm super late on this because I remember reading you lot talking about them ages ago (I stupidly ignored it back then), but I just listened to Can't Go On My Own by Clazziquai Project and it's so good. I love it.

The T-ara teaser sounds good. Definitely agree with Luso, it's giving me real Day By Day vibes
(Hwayoung's intro is my favourite part of Day By Day)
Looking forward to hearing more.

I'm seeing on tumblr that today is 9Muses Eunji's birthday. No celebratory mega post? (Unless tumblr is wrong? I don't know a damn thing about the members yet, I'm still in that awkward learning phase.)

Go and listen to their "Color Your Soul" album. It is without a doubt the best work they've put out imo.

Also the album that introduced them to me back when Kim Sam Soon was airing in like 2005 (A few songs were used in the OST for the drama), incidentally that's still one of the best romance/comedy Kdramas imo.

Their 1st album, Instant Pig, is also really really good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSpaTBsGlXw

And I've always enjoyed the collabo with Tablo from Epik High from one of their remix albums.

Clazziquai is still the best k-music act ever IMO. Especially their acoustic live performances.

You should check out K-Indie stuff. Really great stuff coming from there and I find it better than Kpop most of the time.

Color your soul is spectacular, but can't forget their "Metrotronics" album either.

Metrotronics is kind of the black sheep in Clazziquai's discography. When it was released it was really polarising. To be honest I'm not really a big fan, since I much prefer the sound of their first few albums.

Where are you guys whenever I'm trying to defend Korean indie in here? lol.

It is different from their normal sound, but in a way that is just more raw and stronger.
With Color and Electronics the rawest of them all. (I did purposely link the softer songs earlier)

I actually wouldn't mind another mini-album in the vein of it.

CSI: Jieun Not a fan of the excesive make up, but she is still gorgeous.
Love the make up. Song is kinda a letdown, it's not bad, but it lacks something.


I kinda agree with ramyeon on Metrotronics. It's kinda different to their normal stuff. I prefer their original style more, too.

Where are you guys whenever I'm trying to defend Korean indie in here? lol.

Laughing at the heated discussion, mostly.

Today, in K-Pop GAF History

9\26\2011, SNSD and K-Pop Fanboy/Fangirl |OT|
God dammit Sal.
Prominent Member Salazar got banned for something on the eve of a mysterious major Soshi event (turned out to be the release of those trolltastic teaser pics for The Boys) and we all went nuts.
Not sure he will survive being banned for the Soshi comeback. If you see someone starting an SNSD thread on another forum it's bound to be him.
Sal banned? ;_;

Quick, Ash. Catch up to his post count!! :p

I expect a huge snsd photobomb for Sal's comeback.


Noooooooooooooo, Sal!!
tumblr_lry54965E91qf4rgco1_500.gif

But damn, how can Sal be banned at this most crucial time? We get like 50% our news and 80% of our non-Hyobomb pics/gifs in here from him.
Jisook Fan #1 was there to calm the disorganized protest that was brewing.
AoAJD.gif

He'll be back soon.
Looks like the "Free Sal" campaign won't be needed. Crisis averted.
Sal's banning was also the birth of "DNROG"*, which was more of an off-GAF thing that crept into the thread now and then and has kind of died off. It was a pretty busy day, at least at the time. But we still had people taking snipes at each other.

Wow, this Yoobin girl is really growing on me. How have I never seen her before?
Because you're stuck on SNSD?

There are better groups out there, fyi.
Wonder Girls is definitely not one of them, though.
I can't think of a single girl group better than SNSD from Korea.

Pre-Nana After School is CLOSE... that's it.

KARA, 4 Minute, Secret and friends... ALL B-TIER.

Meanwhile... the best thing about SNSD's Japanese album is that YOON almost doesn't sing at all.
2NE1 > SNSD Japanese album > pond scum > most SNSD Korean songs

SNSD are basically just kpop training wheels. They get you started, but if you're still on them after a year or two it's pretty embarrassing.
I believe vanty's quote was the inspiration for OT2, where 'SNSD' was dropped from the OT title and it said we were 'taking off the training wheels'. And hey, it's 2 years later. Uh oh.

I totally wasn't planning on actually digging up historical relics like the title inspiration for OT2 and the genesis of *DNROG (Do Not Repost On GAF), which was basically a warning for things that would be dangerous to post on GAF that were shared by our members in off-site places.

I used to think Phono was super annoying, but he had a troll level that I can appreciate now after some other poor attempts have blown through here.

Not as much action on the other 9/26s of our history. I think the OG 'Shame Thread'/OTZero from 2010 was closed for a little while because of all the creepy pictures, but it opened up again after a while. And then was completely shut down for similar reasons. I may have been a contributor to that.

Last year in OT3 'HNNNGG',

I certainly do not approve.



Photoshop is one of the worst things ever created.

Other 'non-OT' K-Pop threads have come and gone, and we often make fun of them or ignore them as required. In fact, when the original 'Shame Thread' in 2010 was going on, there was an official K-Pop thread that didn't endure very long. On this day last year, though, a different kind of K-Pop thread emerged. Basically, user's dad was SUPER MAD at the user's mom for supposedly having a K-Pop idol boyfriend. I actually forgot about this until just now, and that was a year ago today. Not too much to do with *our* thread/community, but an interesting aside.

Edit: Back to the present (?)
