Yep, definitely blame the alcohol on this one haha.

They totally look similar! It's right there.

The more i hear it the more i'm convinced she just saying a dick a dick a dick a dick.

IIRC, Hyomin has always had troubles with T sounds though, in English words.

Loll, I'm a dick, I'm a dick.

A very dubious ranking considering some of the valued categories (youtube views, music shows winnings, fancafes) but here is one from Dispatch for 2013. We even aren't at the end of the year...

1 SNSD
2 Sistar
3 f(x)
4 4Minute
5 2NE1
6 APink
7 Crayon Pop
8 Girl's Day
9 Secret
10 Kara
11 Miss A
12 After School
13 Rainbow
14 Dal Shabet

Soshi! That was a given. But how did Sistar get so high and Kara so low? I thought Kara would have been top 5 at least.

Is 2013 only, and digital ranking are counted, where Sistar has power, Kara has 2 weeks of promotions this year, and not sure if counted in this ranking. Basically, places 2-5 are near the same.

Alt reply and no Yoona?

Sistar doesn't do anything scandalous but perform music.

Other groups try to get big in Japan.
Sistar performs at every kpop festival in 8+ different countries.

Turns out when you do kpop, you become popular in kpop.

Doesn't hurt that they fit the most wide-appeal Maxim-style "hot girl" look.

But do they perform music?

In that list, KARA is 11th and miss A is 10th (not vice versa).

Those Suzy CFs (101) saving them.

Yeah, on the list they're switched, but points wise luso had the list right. For some reason that list has 103 above 104.

AOA - 흔들려 (Confused) M/V Making

allkpop said:
EXO's 'XOXO' is on the verge of becoming the first million seller in twelve years!

SM Entertainment recently revealed that EXO had sold a total of 910,973 albums of their 1st album and its repackage (as of most recent tally, selling 441,332 and 469,641 respectively). Even though the boys haven't promoted in a while, their album is still selling at a steady pace.

This whole business of combining the sales of the repackage with sales of the original album is such bs. Who do they think they're kidding?

They totally look similar! It's right there.

I'm with Alt on this one. They do look surprisingly alike.

Thanks for the links; I'll have to listen when I am off work tonight.

Those were better, but the camera kept going to the audience and they all had a look of complete boredom on their faces. I wonder why?

They are ungrateful troglodytes who don't sufficiently appreciate her magnificence, clearly.

The expression on my face wouldn't be much different; I don't usually have an expression of overawed emotion or rapt attention when listening to a lot of music I actually really like to listen to, either. It doesn't mean I'm not interested; I just don't experience it in the same way as music that elicits a different response.

No 9Muses? I mean, I know they aren't big (yet), but not even ranking on a list with Rainbow and Dal Shabet?

KARA getting some hard earned Yen this year.

It's unbelievable how much this fits if you put Nine Muses instead of Sistar.

What a relevant ranking, I have to say.
Soshi triples the second place by chilling for almost the whole year.
Sistar definitely deserves their popularity they have right now.
Rainbow and Dal Shabet before Nine Muses and Spica is a shame thou.

But back to important things.

I really hope 9Muses blow up soon. They've put out some great tracks from previous mini-albums and now they've got a really solid first album; the current line-up is the best iteration of the group yet; they put on great live shows, lots of fan-service, great choreo, etc; plus they seem like a fun bunch of women. Hopefully they start getting some TV appearances soon, outside of just music shows.

Tiffany filming something with Tom Hiddleston. I know he's doing some tour of Asia at the minute. So, this is a thing.

Speaking of modelling for a game, I thought Kyungri looked amazing as Mai from King Of Fighters. I mean, aside from the obvious, the costume itself looked great and it translated really well. I know it's old but she really does look pretty fantastic.

If anyone read my posts, I said earlier.

Still that ranking, 9muses does not do CF, does not have big YT views, no many albuns solds...

Oops, sorry mate, didn't mean to try stealing your thunder. My bad.

Yeah you're right, hopefully they start getting a bit more attention soon. Some good CFs and promo vids could be a big help.

girls generation is everything


gee is everything



i need more

You've come to the right place. It'll be worth checking out the K-Pop GAF Essentials playlist in the OP if you haven't done so already. Alternatively, start working your way through the rest of Girls' Generation's music video back catalogue.

no way

I know this girl...

LOL oh shit, I had no idea she was a trainee for Chocolat...

pretty surreal.

You can't just drop a bomb like that and then walk away. Further information is required! :p

Core Contents Media has just a released statement, announcing, "Although the second 'Number 9' MV was originally scheduled to be released on the 18th, following the requests of fans who are curious about the music video (lol), we decided to release it a day earlier on the 17th at 3 PM KST through T-ara's official homepage."

A little under 22 hours to go then.

Lol we've only met a handful of times a whiles ago but we're still friends on facebook. She went to my rival high school. From what I remember she was pretty nice. Apparently all my friends still in Korea knew about this Chocolat stuff already, heh heh.
