To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
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.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.
Who would have thought the girl born 23 years ago on this day, would become the leader of 소녀시대.
Today we celebrate her birthday!
Thank you for being the best singer. Thank you for being an amazing radio DJ. Thank you for your dorkiness that makes us laugh. Thank you for taking care of the other members. Thank you for making the lives of SONEs happier. Thank you dear 태연, for everything that is you.
In our hearts you will always be our leader, no matter what. Happy Birthday, 태연.
Since today will probably be a day with lots of Taeyeon content, I'll keep it short.
Is it that hard to not put random korean in your posts? It doesn't even serve any purpose unlike Xenocide_Knight's post, his use of korean was useful because it preserved the original quote and he also provided translation.
All you did was un-translate Taeyeon and Girl's Generation/SNSD for no purpose at all. And to make it worse, you didn't even translate them. I could understand wtf you were saying through context only, the vast majority of the readers here don't speak or read korean and not everybody has a desire to learn.
FFS stop doing this shit.
PS. I did like the rest of your post though.
Since they are proper nouns, it's actually more appropriate to not translate them. Her name is 태연 and the group is called 소녀시대. As a direct translation the name of the group is Girl Generation, since there is no 의 (used to denote possession).
Being that this is a Korean music discussion thread, we can assume most with an interest would go to the trouble of taking a little time to learn the Hangul alphabet, which as the saying goes can be learned by a peasant in a day and by a learned man in an hour. Or at the very least not complain about it's use here if they are not interested.
손담비 빅뱅 걸스데이 써니힐 다비치 카라 지나 미쓰 에이 instead of their english counterparts?
Props if you can recognize and know what those names are as fast as you can read the english versions,+ Show Spoiler +
but I would wager the vast majority of readers here won't be able to name those w/o looking them up in some way or will spend a long time trying to decode them with the minimal Hangul they know.
And no I did not recognize Taeyeon's name in Hangul, the only reason I knew he was talking about her was because of the context of his post/the date/the other posts in the thread at the time.

Girls' Day EVERYDAY is best day. They're one of those groups (like pre-Troll-Ara and arguably KARA) that you can't really rank the members in your choices because they fit different tastes so well.
Alright! Taeyeon's birthday! I shall not share a story because well it just wouldn't be interesting and I think there have already been plenty of good text based posts. I won't post too much cause I don't remember what I have actually posted in the past out of my endless amount of pics, gifs and fancams but I shall try my best nevertheless.
Taeyeon's day was better than what I was expecting, good job everyone. Backtrack a year ago and I don't think this thread ever had the kind of quality posts we saw today so meh about the downfall theory.
some Nicole gifs from the Interview part of Step DVD + Show Spoiler +
WOW only just realised that was Hyeri... I thought that was yura because of her eyes... I've even had her as my desktop a few times and always thought.. man, yura has good eyes.

tbh the only kpop song i haven't gotten sick of at some point or other is In the Night Sky...had it in itunes for 90 days, 600 + listens lol
