Does someone do a cut of this with the guy edited out? Almost as bad as Jackson yikes. Don't think I can stand watching a second episode even for Based Joy.

So awkwardly adorable.

Enjoyed the first episode. Joy is pretty straightforward and confident despite her nervousness. But more than anything the episode proved that RV need their own show. I could watch Irene get surprised by telephones ringing all day.
Fancam
Bunch of others
Only able to listen to it on shitty speakers for now, so can't say anything definite, but first impression is thaat it sounds boring as fuck.
The mixing is a mess to me. I've shitty speakers but the song loudness(?)/range is the same throughout the song from start to the end. It hurts my hearing. Higher pitches sounds almost like auto tune.
Someone with better audio can give an input?
And yeah, hot as hell.
I guess my problem with the way it was presented in the drama made little sense considering the IRL industry. For one, Cindy isn't even considered a "has been" or anything, since
during her recently ended promotion for her latest album, we were shown that she took #1 spot at least twice, once with her title track and another with her ballad (the PD was surprised by this, since its usually the title tracks that will win, and her competition was K.Wills), so she is still hot stuff as far as her current popularity is concerned (and based on episode 2, she had her solo debut just 3~ years ago). On top of that she is only at age 23/24, which is means she still has a good 3-4 years at least before she starts to lose some appeal.
Yea, no doubt that some rumors/scandals may result in a TV show dropping a celeb, I was just more bothered by the "type" of scandal being used to justify what was shown to be universal hatred from the public and fans alike. Using real scandals for example, we have had bullying rumors (T-ara), drug use/drunk driving (certain Big Bang members), lying about not having any plastic surgery (various), sex scandals (various), attitude problems (various), dating scandals.
Out of them all, the one scandal that caused the most damage was T-ara's bullying scandal, which was actually made worst by the way the company handled everything, more so than the scandal itself that more or less destroyed the group. Fans for the most part remained supportive to the idols for the other scandals that their biases went through, some scandals the general public (ie non-netizens) didn't even care for much either. So to tell me that
making a lie about your parents being some prestigious folks living in America, when in truth they died in a car crash while she was at age 13/14
CEO Byun claimed to not have known about it being one of the biggest plothole ever, since Cindy debuted at age 14 as a minor, so parental consent would have been needed. This alone would have shifted the blame from Cindy since Byun's agency had the responsibility of making sure such legal issues are settled first.
Though to cut the writer some slack, it would have been too difficult to resolve other more serious scandals without the story being too "fairy tale" like when they want to clear her name.
Oh, and are there any actual examples of a top star (like BoA/Lee Hyori) being "replaced" with a new one? I mean, its one thing for the company to try and destroy an idol (example, SM-JYJ), but actually being able to "replace" them seems to be way too much of a stretch. That was another part of it that seems ridiculous, since certain groups or even just group members take years and a good amount of luck just to become a trend (like Hani with the fancam, Hyeri with her aegyo on the variety program), much less reach top star status. Talent and looks alone isn't enough, as evident with the amount of nugu groups with talented/pretty members like Spica. Heck, even SM with how they are able to keep all of their rookies out of nugu-dom (Red Velvet for example) seems hesitant to even attempt at creating the next BoA or Rain, since its so difficult to make it to the top of the soloist category. YG has Lee Hi, but its still too early to know how big she'll become, especially with how inactive she has been for someone who debuted just a few years back.
I'm probably nitpicking too much over a drama's plot point, eh?
This is actually really good, what a banger. So Brave Bros still has it in him. And I'm so glad we got almost zero Jimin, I thought we were going to get more Jimin after the success of Unpretty Rapstar (I bet she has some place to do "her thing" in the album)
Also, I don't know where the mixing issues come from; the song sounds good. It's quite bass heavy though, so maybe it doesn't sound that good with bad equipment.
I don't know what's your experience with k-dramas, but stupid plot points is almost a requirement. What you are talking about producer doesn't sound that bad though. It's fiction, it doesn't need a precedent. The closest we have been of some company burying an idol or forgetting about someone was YG with se7en. The guy just disapeared after the massage parlor scandal until his contract eventually expired.
Edit: Although, now that I think of it, the most recent case of replacement didn't involve and individual but a group: Red Velvet replacing f(x) after the Sulli thing. I hope that I'm wrong, but until proven otherwise, it seems like that's going to be the case.
I think the point was not that she's replaced because she's losing steam (possibly unlike Yuna), and Byun CEO was forced to rush her plan, as Cindy started thinking on her own.
Again the drama, for understandable reasons, showed an extreme example, but the real life equivalents are more like big stars being given gradually less push and sometimes dropped from labels.
So disappointing. A massive waste of what started off as a really solid concept.
The song is a huge letdown. I'm usually a fan of Brave Bros' uptempo tunes but the sort of catchy melody that's present in the likes of How Dare You or Love Options is totally absent from Heart Attack. (It'll never happen but I'd love to see someone take the music from the 2nd teaser video and turn it into the banging EDM track that it deserved to be.)
As for the video, the whole 'AOA portrays incompetent [insert occupation here]' thing is getting super old.
At least they all look great.
Legit surprised at the negative reception of new AOA. Do people really want the iteration number 30 of Alone? I have to say that the album version, without the 2 minutes of intro and interludes for the MV, is more listeneable.

Heart attack is disappointing.
Good that they gave Choa main spot though.

That's on the mini album as "Come To Me". I prefer it to "Heart Attack", but don't believe it should have been the single.
I'm all for something different so long as it's actually good.
I don't know why but this is how I've always imagined Hyemi behaves IRL.

Huh, I finally got why AOA's song sounded familiar. It's like a remake of Abing Abing.
More groups should take inspiration from orange caramel. And speaking of orange caramel, isn't it weird that they aren't making a summer comeback? Hope they are waiting for a good timing in August so they can finally get a #1 while all the other girl groups are still recovering from July's comeback craze.

(formerly 4ten) got rid of the 2 ugly members of the group and added 3 new girls for July comeback.
Abing Abing is superior though.

Beast keeps putting out good and great Japanese singles. Wasn't expecting so many good songs to come from this one song a month thing.
As for AOA, I'll admit that it sounds much better on my headset than it did on those shitty speakers. Not their best or anything, but more than decent. I can see why someone thinks that it's messy though.
Not hearing it.

That's a bit too much push up padded bras and lacrosse for my blood.
Though i'm pretty w/e about AoA in general.

Sistar will probably never promote another good song. At least there's always Soyu and the Alone mini.

Sistar is grampa music.
AOA is fun if generic summer bop expected of a sporty theme. They are crazy fine as always. That helps.
when Yuna blew a kiss at him.

Best thing was bro with the banana @3m or the guy who fell on his knees
(in worship?)
Well at least that MV suggested that the director googled "Lacrosse". Sistar's MV director had ice hockey described to him via a game of telephone.
Sad day for me in K-Pop when I get more interested in the sports portrayed in an MV rather than the song.

Seemed like a commercial for pastel colors rather than a single.
Ahh there was a huge sketchers sign nvm lol. Yeah tho the song did nothing for me. All my sistar bias in the world can't make me admit some things blindly.
Damn, this just goes nowhere. Can't wait for 9muses clearly having the superior summer release and still having the worst performance in the charts. *Shakes fist at the sky*
Yes indeed. Well I think we are not the target audience.
