I haven't seen WGM for ages. I felt like it kinda lost steam after the original couples left the show. Crown J/Seo In Young were the best to watch easily. That said Gain and Jo Kwon have been the best pairing, so I did watch bits and pieces of them.
Taeyeon/Hyungdon was just cruel.

It was just so, so different from the couples on now. They played the whole thing as a gag -- the husband being a much older, chubby comedian who exaggerated his laziness and cowardly ways. There was nothing remotely romantic about it, while now they couples are so lovey-dovey it's hard to see what's for show and what's reality.
Tell Me Your Wish (Draft Version) is out.. I actually like this version better than the one they released back in 2009

The music editor for Invincible Youth clearly doesn't give a shit about rights. Beatles, Mission Impossible, the Monkees.
So good.
Taewoo goes up to the elementary school kid and says "let's be clear about something: why do you like Sunny noona ?"
And the kid just throws his hands up over his face.
And I don't know anything about the album or artist, but this looks badass:

I'd just like to say that I had no idea who or what SNSD was before NeoGAF. And now I am a big fan. Not a crazy big fan. Just a big fan. Thanks GAF for broadening my horizons.
Sunny for life.

Is it just me or are there a load of pictures of fully nude women and hentai on the previous page?

There are definitely two more now.Salazar said:
Naturally, this being the internet, all but one image got replaced by porn of some sort, rather than some other random images. This is why I ditched all of them just in case.
Edit: File not found? No, I'm seeing some topless euro chick in a pool. broadwayrock needs to login and get those pms.

For my Koreaboos, I have a question:
What is the correct way to pronounce their names? I don't know if I am doing it right.
Furthermore, In those high-rez group shots, Yuri wins both.

well generally i think their names have been romanised so that if you just pronounce it as you would in english it should be right i think.
Yuri is just Yuri, if theres something else after it thats probably a korean subject/object/something marker.
for Tiffany and Jessica they pronounce their names weird because there is no such thing as f or c in korean, and si is pronounce shi.
when Tiffany is written in korean its more like Teepanee or something

I think they changed the way they run their servers or something, because I don't remember ever seeing an image reaching a bandwidth limit until now. Anyway, when they did whatever they did, the purged all images from their system and began using the exact same "random" codes for new images. It might have only happened to people who didn't register an account name with them.Salazar said:

Korea has sounds that aren't in english, so it's difficult.vas_a_morir said:
If you see "eo" it's a unique sound. In Seohyun it's not "Sey-o" but rather a lot more like the word "sow" and yet still not exactly that. The sound has a teeny bit of that nasal quality you use when you mimic a crow. The closest thing I can think of is the o in golf. It's a vertical and forward sound.
In "hyun" it is h-yun rather than sounding like h-yoon, which some might think. However, it's more open and rounder than "un" in english, it is like a mix of that and the o in "open"
With Yuri, it's like Yoo-lee except the L is different from our L. It is sometimes mistaken as an R, or even a light D, but it is neither. If you think in terms of an english L sound, the tip of your tongue is touching near the back of your top teeth and that is wrong. If you're thinking in terms of an R, the sides of your tongue are making too much pressure. The best way to think is that it is softer than you imagine, and the shape of your tongue is flatter than you're used to.
Just don't hit the consonants too heavy and the rest is pretty easy.
It's not trilled. Sometimes if someone is totally flippin out they might do that, but it is not supposed to be (although pronunciation does have some similarities to spanish since both are soft, romantic languages) and what you hear is a slightly confused perspective of the unique tongue thing going on. Trust me, Koreans can hear the difference between their L/R/D thing and your attempt at replicating it with a lightly trilled R. The "ah" part is endearment, like how you call your girlfriend.Salazar said:

Is the korean "r" sound like that of Japanese? Like, in Japanese, it's kinda like a really soft "d" rather than an R or L sound.
I think they say that everywhere. She's an 8 surrounded by 9's and 10's.

Everyone here in S Korea calls Hyoyeon the "ugly" one though.

Yep. When I was living in Japan, I learned that there is one thing they can never teach you in books or in classes: When you speak Japanese, you need to raise the pitch of your voice and get a slight lisp. For example, a common word for non-native Japanese speakers to use in Japan is "daijoubu." They say it like "Die Joe Boo." It's more like "Dai jshou bue" with the little "e" at the end probably not worth writing because it's so slight.
Also, I think it takes a while to learn that Japanese has tones that, while not as strict as Chinese nor as pronounced, they are necessary for people to understand properly. I eventually decided to focus on mimicking Japanese cadence to facilitate better communication, instead of just cramming grammar and written characters without context.
I notice that Koreans do this little "up down up (slow)down" thing at the end of their sentences. It's really common. You guys know more about Korean than I do by a long shot, am I just imagining this?
