I'm just tired that people don't think they benefited from being in SM. Nothing is better than bringing old debates up again, JYJ's lawsuit together with WG's US venture can be discussed forever. Guess this is what the guy gets for bringing up male kpop, it's just a matter of time until JYJ's lawsuit will be brought up. hey thats for strictly performances too. For advertisements and stuff, and their sponsoring of products, do they rake that in individually? I feel this is bigger than the performance aspect | ||

Some of us actually want to discuss music since the thread is entitled "Korean Music  iscussion*" instead of ogling gifs and pics of random women people find attractive. If you're going to do that, why not make a "hot Korean girls" thread? Besides, how can you even claim that you're into Korean music if you can't even judge a group for their music and instead only judge them for their appearance (ahh 2ne1 is ugly and I don't do boys . . nooo) >< What's the difference between that and having a "porn star discussion" thread or "import models discussion" thread? | ||

Proud of them. ^.^b You actually believed that garbage? Human beings can't survive on that little amount of food, let alone with how active SNSD is. They can eat 2k a day and not gain weight simply because they are fit and actively using their bodies with dancing and performing and practicing. | ||

THANK YOU FOR THIS. I side-eyed that comment so hard. Couldn't have said it better myself. | ||

As in you shouldn't be looking at them at work?

Kpop is as much about the music as the visuals and choreography. So I don't blame people for judging it mainly by looks. | ||

It should just be retitled to "adolescent guys drooling over hot girls flaunting their stuffs". The Korean and music part aren't even relevant . . . . how hard is it to actually find pictures of plastic girls doing sexy things? Fine then. I call upon this guideline. "Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it" I think that the quality of this thread would be greatly increased if people actually posted something worth discussing along with their gif bombs, selcas off of random blogs, rankings of "whom I'd bang", rather than "hey look, I'd do these attractive women, what do you think?" How many posts are just spoilered gif bombs or a bunch of random pictures of people's object of lust of choice? I TRIED increasing the quality of this thread by inciting some actual discussion and it worked briefly before it went back to "these are whom I'd bang". I mean, what's the point of guidelines if this is predominantly just a "hot Korean girls" thread. Why not have a separate "hot Korean girls" thread and leave this thread for the music? If all you're going to discuss is "whom I'd bang" anyways, making the "Kpop" absolutely irrelevant. I mean honestly, how many of you would do Jiyeon or Hyomin or whomever if they had no part in Kpop? What if their profession of choice turned out to be strippers? A good portion of the contents of this thread would probably remain intact. "Oh, here's a hot picture of my favorite Korean stripper waking up in the morning". "Here's a hot picture of my favorite Korean stripper doing her signature dance move". "Here's a ranking of my top ten hottest Korean strippers" | ||

Which I don't think will help convince anyone. I'm not hateful. If there's nothing worth discussing in this thread, then I actually just won't visit. This thread keeps reasonably up to date with releases and live performance videos and if I feel like talking about something, I'd drop by. I was actually just responding to people calling me out for making this thread so "unbearable" with its "boy band talk (faggots) and 2ne1(so gross, would not tap)" | ||

Why bother to come in here and tell us we're doing it wrong and we should do it the way you like it? The people that sing the songs are actually part of the music, so they are relevant as well. Also I like to argue that even though the girls are indeed attractive, hardly ever stuff gets posted along the lines "these are whom I'd bang". | ||

You're welcome to try to change the thread, but the way these guys have been doing it is how these guys like to do it ^_^. Sometimes we do have discussion for a couple posts, but all text and no pics/vids/gifs makes for a sad kpop thread. Feel free to come around more and start up discussion though, I wouldn't mind hearing about boy groups and vocals and stuff more, but don't expect it to be all that. I'm still going to post my selcas and my cute pics =) [referring to the guy this post was replying to lol] | ||

I apologize for that. This thread is actually quite diverse and is a great source for Kpop news, releases, and performances. My exposure to Kpop started before adolescence and in an era completely dominated by guy bands, so I really don't feel in tune with "liking an artist because she's hot", hence why, as a straight male, I still prefer guy bands and find girl bands to be of an overall lower quality, though a large part of that may be because male idols start training earlier. I'm just sad that a lot of regulars seem to only care about the idols' appearance, which, frankly, is probably a bit insulting to the idols too. | ||
