I mean, they must've looked in a mirror while preparing for this. Or maybe she was like "fuck it, no pants today". | ||

I think it's probably between T-ara and f(x), just judging by how well Roly Poly did. Cry Cry hasn't done nearly as well though, and F(x) has done better on a more consistent basis, just because there are large groups of fans out there who love SM as a company and not just individual groups, which makes no sense to me but w/e. All of their songs have done incredibly well and every member has a pretty loyal following which even groups like WG and Kara don't have. Miss A has done well but not nearly as well as the other two, and AS as far as I remember hasn't had a really huge hit song in awhile. edit- @darkcloud you are vastly underestimating how popular KARA is. I think that they don't get as much play here anymore (other than Tuelite and nicole) cause they're doing shit in Japan, but they're still one of the largest fanbases out there. I would almost definitely say they're bigger than 2ne1 in Korea/Japan (2ne1 has a huge western fanbase for whatever reason). also completely forgot about HyunA...not 4minute cause I think Hyuna as a solo star is much bigger now, especially after bubble pop. Still doesn't break top 5 but if you're going to mention Miss A, AS, etc. she definitely hangs with those groups in terms of popularity. | ||

Talking about shit in Japan... I'm definitely hyped to see them on the Japanese version of dancing with the stars! I think they're filming that today but I'm not sure. I'll definitely post it here once I get my hands on that.

Yeah, I haven't really seen much of KARA; I probably got into kpop right around the time they left for Japan to promote.. But from what I saw in their promotion for STEP it wasn't extremely popular.. | ||

edit- it's also interesting cause I think that with CCM focusing so much on individual shit I'd say that Eunjung and maybe Jiyeon for sure are more popular as individuals than pretty much everyone in WG. Jiyeon for sure would have been but she's never been as popular as she was pre-sextape. She's regained some of that popularity but I'm not too sure anymore. WG is big but I think a by-product of spending almost all their time in the states is that the lack of non-musical appearances in Korea really hurt them, especially after Sunmi left and Hyelim has basically done nothing, whereas all the groups that stayed behind are focusing more and more on individual/unit promotions, acting, etc. that while groups are less popular there are people in each group that are extremely popular- I mentioned Hyuna before as a good example of this. | ||

Step, Rider and 따라와 from the STEP album are all definitely in their top 10 best songs. In my opinion Step is their all time best. The energy and the passion when they perform it on stage is unmatched by any other song. Especially in their first few live performances, at the beginning of their comeback, shit was ill. The quality of it as a song is also munch better, the music and the lyrics are great (for a KPop up-tempo single that is). On December 31 2011 18:33 unichan wrote: what!1!11 mr the best, hands down yo, swingin butts Yeah ok you got a point, in KPop the choreography is pretty munch part of the song... Butt dance was good but I don't know, i kind of wish they were known for more than just that. Maybe I've watched too munch performances of Mr. over the years but I think that Step's choreo is superior even tho it doesn't have any ''catchy'' or trademark part such as the butt dance. The energy of it gets me hyped up, Mr. just can't deliver that anymore. | ||

No they have...and even top 5 and below material can do that- look at Yayaya, pretty much every 4minute song ever (Hyuna carry, HuH was ok though), every f(x) song ever (dat SM marketing machine) etc. And I don't know what you're talking about Step being not well received. I mean it's no mister but it did hit number 1 on the charts when it came out and did win music show awards. I do think sales is more telling though cause the process for choosing awards on those shows is half sales and half crazy fangirl voting. | ||

Not trying to sound like a hater but I'm genuinely curious as to what you're listening to so much. I liked Huh and Mirror Mirror to some extent but that's pretty much it...that ad song they did freestyle was IMO better than anything they put out before which is insane seeing as it's an ad for an MMO. | ||
