Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.

As for removing shit, try finding anything 3+ years or older from them; they're all deleted cause the writers used to have a much more casual tone and used to make offensive jokes about everyone (lol), and then when they became bigger and changed to a more professional tone they didn't want that shit on their site anymore.
There must have been something besides just angry mails that got them to take down their article. Because otherwise it would mean that we'd never see a negative article about Suju, Big Bang, 2NE1 and SNSD. I just hope this sets some kind of precedent how they handle this type of short articles from Naver/Nate that's not really worthy of translating and then use an exaggerated title.
Regarding old AKP i'm well aware of their very unprofessional past and i'm surprised that they have managed to clean up their act so much. I think that all new Kpop fans has made their transition into being serious a lot easier because most people doesn't remember all the shit that was written there.
^naw, that article easily got the most hate I've seen, coming off a comeback and because other people translated the article "correctly". Other fanbases may rage but not to the extent that SONEs did regarding this one.

Meh guess they removed that article.
Liking the new BEG teaser, I lub ballads.
Also, Hye Lim is doing much better, sure she will never replace Sunmi but shes doing fine.

Dabichi is losing to 2ne1 in best vocal group
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE
That actually doesn't make sense to me. 2ne1 is a good vocal group but none of their songs show it, and even in solos/random performances Davichi is still better.
But then again, polls always just come down to who is more popular.

is she not as popular as some of the other members (or does she just make less appearances), feels harder to find pics of her.
shes my favourite along with Taengoo ^^ but I have to admit she's a tiny bit ahead ( pls dont hate me I share all the love of TL for Taeyeon) but definitely check out the introducing a stars friend SNSD special where also motherfucking NADA!! makes an epic appeareance, she's so cuteand innocent looking in that episode, guess that's what people call love at first sight <3 :D
Old Davichi was really good, the MVs for 8282 and 사고쳤어요 were really good and interesting, or at least I thought they were. Norazo lol.. wasn't Lee Hyuk in Immortal Song or something? Don't follow that show.
Forgive me for being late to this reveal of Day 2.
I've added some changes to the program tho. Today will also cover Pretty Girl and the early promotions of Wanna as well since Nicole was rocking a similar style during that time period, making it hard to tell exactly when the pictures were taken.
Oh and since Day 1 didn't cluster the thread at all... I'm doing it this here for the time being, fuckablog.
BRACE YOURSELVES as this period is the reveal of Nicole in my opinion, her claim to fame. Let me show you why.
What is this that I'm seeing ? Is this Aegyo/Cuteness ? Is this Enjoyment, happiness, fan service and stage presence ? HELL YEAH! + Show Spoiler +
And that ladies and gentlemen, is why that period of her career, tho sometimes overlooked, was crucial. With Kim Sunghee gone from KARA, someone had to step up to the plate. Who did ? Nicole motherfuckin Jung that's who. She got over her shyness on stage and developed stage presence, started doing fan service, etc. And that confidence boost she didn't have before showed in her personality and in the way she acted during variety shows, she wasn't afraid anymore, she learned to use her charms and she forever claimed my heart.
As you can see when compared to the previous pictures, almost all of her pictures from this period of time reflects those new found charms and confidence. What a beautiful transformation!
Rock U I sincerely have no idea wtf this is. My guess is that after the not so great success of the more mature first album they figured they'd target the 6 to 12 years old demographic with their single... Worst KARA single of all time.
Baby Boy This one is weird, the song came out in 2008 but they made an advertisement MV with it in 2010 so completely different styles and everything but hey, it's a decent song that Nicole killed so I'm including it.
Goodday One of my personal favorite KARA song and MV.
Honey
Pretty Girl Kind of another WTF is this type song. << If u wanna pretty, everyone wanna pretty >> oh ok... but Nicole is fantastic in that MV!
Alright now this is pure cuteness. The light pastel colored dresses, god dayum that performance was stunning. Good thing I wasn't in that crowd during that one or I would have done like the guy with the man purse at a SNSD concert and snatch them right off the stage.
fuckin amazing, what a glorious moment.
The first KARA win on MCountdown. Kamilia!!!
Pretty Girl at 2:40, you wanted stage presence, you got it.
Fan servicing that makes you melt
Wanna comeback
More Wanna will follow with the Mister promotions in Day3
To wrap things up, I already mentioned my overall thoughts on that era so I'll talk about the albums instead, the second album Rock U was GREAT. 4 Solid songs out of 5, it definitely gets my seal of approval. Nicole killed it and started to develop a trademark style of singing and rapping that fits her voice perfectly. Pretty Girl was meh... Revolution was an amazing album overall and the two singles, Wanna and Mister were great.
That's it for me now share pics!
One last thing I forgot to mention, Nicole did like an half an hour interview on Star English I think it was during that time period or right when Mister came out. She reveals a lot and a good half of it is in English. I can't find it on Youtube but if there's a demand for it I'll upload it myself, just let me know.
