i loooooved wings so much omg. i think it's amazing! the solo songs were fantastic! bts is just amazing in general. they made me tear up when they won artist of the year. they were all crying and i was like "my babies ;__;"

i just think knk are dorks & it's endearing. i love the fact that their height is mentioned every time in an interview lol. some groups i like more because of what i've seen of them on shows rather than their music. then the music grows on me.

Yes, definitely do! I hope you love them!

ah Jonghyun tried to kick Kibum's butt for the longest time. I adore him. even if sometimes he seems fake deep haha

Yeah! He did. He sounded so good. He looked so good. Key stans were dropping like flies. here is a youtube video of it. hopefully i did the sCode right. lol. I'm so used to html anything else is like physics to me.

Key's drama was about this teacher working at this new school and she ends up getting a crush on the big shot teacher, who's a total dick of course. Key was one of the students. and that is the crappiest description ever. He was great and so funny in it though, so you should watch it for his parts anyway. lol. especially any scene with him and chaeyeon.

beware though, he had me crying one minute and laughing the next.

EDIT: yeahhhhh i did the sCode right

I hope BigHit gives them rest, but I already heard rumours about them having a comeback in February. They were so cute! Their name was announced they were like wow yeah!! congrats!! .... wait we're BTS ... :O :O :O :O :O :O

To be fair, they are 100% giants like if I stood next to KNK.... I'm 153cm lol. Haha, yeah, that's definitely the appeal of idol groups sometimes. You start following them without even liking or even listening to their songs.

Hahahaha he's so excited I wish he got to officially perform it like at a concert or music show or something. I couldn't stop staring at the huge hole/rip in his jeans though LOL.

"Who's a total dick of course" shit ur right, at least 1 of the main leads must be a total ass hat. I wish but I am so bad with watching dramas. Either I never start them or I'll watch like 3 episodes and stop.

: Technically, SHINee's Symptoms doesn't have a video. The video I linked you was something they performed live on KBS after 2 fans who were watching the show requested it. A;though... I'm not sure what you mean by acoustic/semi-acoustic... Hmm... Yeah, they do tend to continue singing on if the sound quits. Or they might have sung songs with the music removed.

Yikes, just realised my grammatical error in my last post to you. Whoops!

: Nope, I've finished my degree now. Looking for work. Fun... lol.

I kind of wonder... Never mind, here I thought 2NE1's final song was already released... It won't be seen until 21st Jan (?). Yeah, no Minzy either, which is also sad.

Well, I guess I'll listen to Seventeen's Boom Boom album to hear what it's like.

'Haha, yeah you'd think they would because of how often they also target international fans." Well... Most fans would probably try to learn the Korean language so that they don't have to rely on translators but then, I'm just a little bit meh as to learning how to write and read Korean. Well, I totally forgot about KBS having subs, but then KBS is accessible worldwide.

I guess I like Heart Attack and Excuse Me but I haven't quite warmed up to Bing Bing yet. The outfits used in Excuse Me and Bing Bing are cool. I immediately like some of the outfits used.

Maybe too much competition from bigger, more popular groups competing with KARD that makes it hard for KARD to do much promotions?

: Um... Oh-kay....?

@ mokona That sounds terrifying... I'm graduating in May and I'll be in the same boat in a few months : ( But first!!! An East Asia trip!

CL also just posted a photo on instagram of a polaroid with all 4 members from 2015.... I'm emo. Let me know what you think of Seventeen's album!

Yea, I'm sure most fans do want to learn, but that takes a lot of effort and then actually translating and uploading videos is another story as well. Most of the translators from fansites do it for free, too. It's amazing.

I looooove the Excuse Me outfits <3 I first though I liked Excuse Me more, then Bing Bing grew on me a lot when I watched the live performances. Either way, I'm loving this comeback.

I doubt it... DSP is a decently well known company -- well it used to be -- but if even really nugu groups can get on a music show, I don't think competition is the problem.

: Yeah, I just hope that I don't have to wait a long period before a job position that I like shows up, but I can't afford to be picky... I wish I could go on a trip to South Korea this year as part of my graduation present that my Mum promised me (technically it was just for me, but my sister insisted on a trip as well... >< Tsk! She wanted to go Japan ><) Boo, I say, it was just a present for me...

Where in East Asia would you be going to?

Yeah, there was news of the photograph with all four 2NE1 members... :O Sad, sad...

I think I only liked BoomBoom out from that whole album.

Yup, effort and money to learn Korean, so for me, now it's just when I feel ready to learn, then, I'll go & learn. Ugh, sometimes the translations aren't that accurate (but that's OK), I only have problems when its full of grammatical and vocab errors. >_< Blah.

Can't say much about Bing Bing and Excuse Me live performances, I haven't watched them yet.

Then... probably financial capabilities or management problems (or their inability) or a dozen other possible reasons...

yeah dude, that outfit was so amazing. how does he make horribly ripped jeans look so good.

i do that with anime a lot. i have this whole list i wanna watch but you know i'm never gonna get to it.

sorry, i get in tumblr joke mode a lot. i meant that in the nicest possible way. :p

shinee was really good! i'll have to look at more songs from them! :D

BTS definitely needs a rest. they all work so hard ;__;

that's cool! i love groups that love their fans <3

: Yup, that's why SHINee is and probably always will be my favourite Kpop group.

: Nope, I guess I need an explanation of the joke. Or point me to where the joke is from so that I can understand.

AOA won first on Show Champ!!! :D Jimin cried though and I almost cried with her. I can't watch these things sigh

ALSO MY LOVELIES CLC CAME BACK!!! Hobgoblin is a bop

Completely different concept and they killed it oh gosh. Definitely see Hyuna's influence though since she helped with the song. I loveee them T^T

Yay! I'm glad you like them! They are really great, performance wise, and just personality wise.

eh, well it's not really one specific joke i guess. But have you ever read his quotes from Blue Night? Sometimes he gets really deep or sentimental, and some people kind of lovingly tease him for it.

Noticed this is a pop thread, but if anyone is interested in indie or underground Korean music send me a comment 8D.

@ mokona Yeah, whatever job that wants you and has decent pay and benefits t b h...

Whaaat? So are you just going to Japan now? I'll be going to Japan, Korea, and Taiwan! About a month in total, so like ~1 week for all of them? We'll be spending a bit more time in Japan and Taiwan than in Korea, though.

And now apparently saying that Goodbye was originally written for Minzy like can u guys not... do this... to my heart :(

@ taekeyla Key definitely lives up to his fashionista title. His Instagram is always so on point too.

@ pika AHHH I SAWWWW POOR JIMIN WAS CRYING SO HARD. ;;;; I can't imagine how much stress was on her as leader and for AOA to succeed this comeback, 'cause they kept saying how they were aiming to show ppl AOA was back and that sales didn't matter. AND MC SHINYOUNG IS HONESTLY THE BEST.

Holy shit I can't believe I'm still alive after CLC slayed me. They really suit their new image!! And their MV has gotten so many views.

Lol so apparently Wings 2 is now going to be a thing in February??? @ BigHit WHERE IS THAT BREAK

: Ah, I see, I see.

Nope, I haven't. Any of these reliable to read from?

Deep or sentimental? That's brilliant! Or should I say cool? For a guy. Cause it's sad to close off from emotions...

: Yup! I definitely wouldn't work for underpaying companies, unless I decided to volunteer (which might not really be relevant to my job and would only be weekends).

Nope! XD It was my graduation gift, so it's my choice. :P But I definitely wouldn't mind going back to Japan and Taiwan either, but more of the former than the latter.

And it definitely sounds cool! Have fun! :D

Yeah, I read the article about the song being for Minzy; Sad, sad, sad... :'(

@/mokona Yeah, it'd be nice to start volunteering again regularly. But first... job!!

Haha, thanks good to hear. I've never been to either of the three countries, so I'm excited! Do you have any recommendations at all? :)))

Lol I'm still a bit salty that Dara had so little lines in a song with only 3 members and the fact it was their last song... like please... just let the girl sing one last time.

[edit] [01/26] i'm so upset rn wtf wonder girls are most likely disbanding and releasing their last single together on their 10th anniversary ;____;

aslasd;ak like on the one hand i'm excited but on the other hand they really need a break.

@ wish: Whoopsie. With Lunar New Year here already, I didn't get the chance to reply until now.

I'll be interested to volunteer for pets. Yeah~, that'll be more interesting. That or aged care. Yeah, totally agree on finding a job first. :)

For Taiwan: I think Shihlin(?) night markets? I went with a tour group with my family last time round but unfortunately I don't remember much.

Japan...: Last time I went, it was Kyoto and Osaka. I went to Kiyomizudera Temple and afterwards ate match ice cream. That was in winter. :D And there was a Hello Kitty shop there after eating the matcha ice cream, soooo... I went wild. XD For Osaka... Hot springs pool and massage? Click Here for places to go in Japan. :)

For South Korea, unfortunately I remember zero. Too many years ago now. Actually, I think the only thing I remember is trying hanboks.

Aww... that's soo bad...

Eh?! Wonder Girls might possibly be disbanding too?! :O

aw that link doesn't work. :( i get my quotes from fyjjong.tumblr.com

oh yeah definitely. I hate that so many guys feel like they can't be emotional.

: Oh. That link was actually Google Search... Thanks for the link though. :)

:O Well, I think in regards to the younger generation? Not so sure of the older generations (i.e. like parents), though...

They look hella good in those teaser pics, though. God, I love it when idols have pink hair. So cute. I'd love to have pink hair in real life (a nice pastel or rose gold ahhhh) but it's so hard to maintain.

Lolol Happy belated lunar new year! I've been busy with schoolwork qq. Next week's going to be even worse.

I can't wait for the Taiwan night markets! Japan must've been really cold but I guess going sightseeing, places like the temple would've looked really nice with it snowing. I've debated hot springs but I'm also rly rly self conscious, so we'll see. It sounds like it'd be cool to experience. Thanks for the link :)

Yep... it's confirmed they're disbanding... (sigh) I mean, I'm glad they're at least giving us a final single, but I'm still rly sad.
