Ok just got to adress this little bit of k-pop that was left out of the post above before we move on

And YooA's clip, since it seems like she has some fans in here.

 

[questionmark]

So I did I miss anything important with the recent sponsorship news/reveals? Because JustinBB7 is in OT, claiming that

All the "pure and innocent" idols there most likely prostitute themselves out to get those spots.

This is news to me.


Anyway, here are Binnies and Hyojungs videos.

 

[Peru]

Not much new, no. That TV show did an expose where they got some people on tape talking about it. Seems the story is the same as before - mostly low level rookies signed with smaller companies.

I like how Yerin is trying to be thinking as a "innocent" girl should be, but she just can't. LOL

Robert Downey Jr. said Incheon airport greetings are the best. Conan looks legitimately surprised before he hams it up.

 

[evilpigking]

Even in that outfit Jaekyung can't save the song. It just sounds kinda...disorganized. Not like 4M's which didn't pick a genre just too much overlap leading to kind of a discord. Does DSP have any other boats to sink left?

Gat dang Conan is awesome!

 

[llehuty]

I like Rainbow's song. Not their best, and quite safe... But good.

 

[vanty]

Song started out just ok but I was liking it quite a bit a couple minutes in. Maybe the weakest song on the album even though it's a bit of good fun.

Hopefully if this bombs again and they leave DSP then YG will pick them up for an attempt at making something happen since the 'new girl group' is obviously not happening in our lifetimes.

 

[luso]

I like Rainbow's song. Not their best, and quite safe... But good.

From the comments I was expecting worst. Is not bad but doesn't feels an A track for a main promotion cycle.

 

[pinkurocket]

Rainbow's song is cute and catchy, but it's definitely not the jam I was hoping it would be. With Kara gone you'd think DSP would at least try to give Rainbow a title track with some kind of charting potential.

 

[roaSone]

Yeah indeed, it's kinda cute and a bit catchy but nothing out the charts, gonna give a try to the mini though.

 

[Dice]

Seungah, Noeul, Woori remain top tier.

edit: but still tfw they aren't even living up to the most obscure and casual made-in-a-closet kara mv rip kara

edit 2: also the rainbow song reminds me of an iu song that is better (took a while to remember who did it tho) but it's okay they can learn from sunbae.

 

[llehuty]

So SS501 is now SS301 after losing two mebers.
[Double S 301(더블에스301)] - PAIN (MUSIC VIDEO) Dat guitar loop is so good. The chorus is completely unremarkable, though (I'm so pain, indeed). They also released 3 individual songs with MV in the same channel, but are a bit meh.

I like other members more but I only know Yuju's name. I don't know if this reveals the casual nature of my interest or that of the public.

Since everyone here likes Taeyeon news... apparently she is recording Yoo Heeyeol Sketchbook today, Broadcast on 19th.

[Dice]

Alright song but what even is this group without Eunyoung? At least Hyeran is still there. This is quite a shift to accept.

 

[Peru]

That's a really nice low key track from Brave Girls.

 

[Kuno]

브레이브걸스 (Brave Girls) - 변했어 MV

Wow, this track is so damn good! Brave Brothers has his share of haters but his productions seem to be getting better and better these days.

[vanty]

Yeah that's a real nice song. Just makes DSP even worse that Dal Shabet and Brave Girls each get a song that kills what they give Rainbow.

[MV] Rainbow(레인보&#50864 - Whoo

Starts off strongly but it all gets a bit generic afterwards. Might be a grower though.

I really like what they've done with the album cover, although I'm not sure whether using Seungah's signature colour as the background is meant to infer that she's the best or the worst...

브레이브걸스 (Brave Girls) - 변했어 MV

This is pretty good!

[llehuty]

I'm really liking this Brave Bros redemption era. Not even close to Love Options greatness, but a great improvement over some of the shit he produced around 2013/2014.

 

[pinkurocket]

Brave Girls 2.0 is amazing! I absolutely love it.

Nothing surprising here, but some of the Produce 101 contract terms got revealed.. In a nutshell:

• Mnet can't be sued for their editing

• Trainees and families/friends can't reveal info about the show to media or on social outlets

• Trainees aren't paid, and any profits made from music releases are shared 50/50 with the agencies. Agencies also involved in cost of producing music releases

• Successful trainees have to be part of an incubator for 10 months during which time CJ E&M manages/trains the trainees.

Speaking of which, Twice and Winner reacting to Produce 101

Recruit Dahyun reporting for duty

I previously knew Nana and Cao Lu were also part of this season's female "Real Men", but Hyosung has been revealed to be in it too.

 

[roaSone]

I think I also saw Lizzy in the line-up, I could be wrong though.
Edit : I was wrong.
About SM Station, I believe there wasn't any release because of the Lunar New Year holidays.

Indeed.

Successful trainees have to be part of an incubator for 10 months during which time CJ E&M manages/trains the trainees.

Very wise. If Kim Sohye makes it into the group (and I really hope she does) she's going to need all the practice she can get.

 

[Dice]

Ladies' Code comeback

wow

Trainees and families/friends can't reveal info about the show to media or on social outlets

da fuck? what kind of laws do they have over there that someone else can sign a contract binding on you?

Trainees aren't paid

Not surprising but still shameful. How much money do you think Mnet is making off this show that wouldn't exist if not for them? Such bullshit.

 

[salty_Josh]

Okay this video is the best. The reaction of that one soldier is enough to make even the most crooked of us cackle, plus there's red velvet I guess, but that's not as important.

 

[llehuty]

da fuck? what kind of laws do they have over there that someone else can sign a contract binding on you?

Confidentiality clauses work like that, there is obviously going to be some kind of repercusion if family members leak stuff.

Not surprising but still shameful. How much money do you think Mnet is making off this show that wouldn't exist if not for them? Such bullshit.

Eh, taking into account that there are going to be 11 members from potentially 11 different companies, and that these companies will probably take part of the cake, I don't see how could they promise them any kind of salary, with no idea if the show/grouo are going any kind of success. If the group becomes a success they will get crazy promo for whatever they do after the group disbands in one year.

Gfriend Sowon wondering what this toilet paper is doing there.

Even funnier with subs. I guess this was during their live broadcast of My Little Television. I'm guessing this doesn't make the televised version.

Could Sowon be only pure idol in the industry?
