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.

Seriously, Jeremy Scott Adidas? Mmmm hmmm.
Also, I don't know who those suspender+white T girls are, But Vans hightops? Uh please.
i know you hate them but did you see snsd in converse all-stars? :D
Unfortunately, I don't really keep tabs on this sort of thing, but if you post pics,
I will make snarky sneaker-based comments.
Although, you have to be very very very very very very very stupid to fuck up classic Chuck Taylors. It's pretty much impossible to wear them wrong. (the only way I know to screw up All-Stars is for males to wear low-tops)

Dude, this guy disagrees with you. By far he is clearly the best Korean soloist at the moment.
Mang.. you guys are too into the music.. and not into the wonderfulness of live dancing and performances ^^
That being said.. I actually really enjoy the catchy.. addictive .. repetitive stuff that all of the idol groups put out. Don't care if everyone else thinks it's bad music .
UpMagic ceremony... amirite?
Heh.. interesting how I haven't given any love to my favourite group yet ^^.. sooo.. ..
I know that I'm going to be in the minority here, but I don't understand why people think Jessica from SNSD is so attractive. I don't even think she's one of the more attractive girls in the group, let alone in all of kpop. Personally, I'd pick Taeyeon, Yuri, Tiffany, Seohyun, and Sunny over her, and probably Sooyoung and Yoona as well.The combination of her long, prominent chin and strong cheekbones reminds me of the Joker or the puppet from the Saw movies.
She looks a lot better than she did when the group first debuted, but I still don't think she's anything close to the hot, sexy vixen everyone makes her out to be. Maybe people are considering her body more than I am, because I admit I do tend to focus a lot on faces. I'll also admit that her voice is quite distinct in both speaking and singing, and that I find that part of her to be attractive, but strictly looks-wise? I don't see it.
Getting back to the superficial aspect of KPOP, here's my ranking of SNSD members based on looks on a 10 point scale. For calibration purposes, an average asian girl is 5/10, someone like yuna kim is 7/10 and kim tae hee is 10/10
Seohyun: 9/10 - nice/cute Taeyeon: 9/10 - cute/pretty Tiffany: 8/10 - pretty eyes when smiling Yuuna: 7.5/10 - not feeling her new hairstyle, way too skinny Yuri: 7.5/10 - "standard" good-looking face, sexy girls aren't really my type Jessica: 7/10 - something seems "off" about her face, can seem cold/bitchy Soo young: 7/10 - cheekbone area too chubby Sunny: 6/10 - Eyes kind of seem squished together Hyo yeon: 4/10 - wouldn't want to see her without makeup.
@XaI)CyRiC: Well being Jessica addict myself.. I guess I might as well try to answer haha.
I'm not sure entirely.. but I think a lot of has to do with what I consider one of the main differences between KPop (asian music in general actually I think), and American style music. While I don't really listen to America music much anymore, I unfortunately can't be completely sure on this, but for me one of the biggest differences is that in Kpop, it seem that they try to not only sell the music.. but the artist themselves. They're on an insane number of tv shows and live radios, not to mention all of the performances for music shows and concerts that they do. But the key thing being the tv shows and radios.. where you can see a lot more of their individual personalities. Various off screen moments from behind the scenes events also add to that. So yeah, I think the fact that they are selling the whole person, as opposed to just the appearance and vocal ability, is a major factor in it.
As for me.. well.. that's one of the great things about attraction I guess. Other people don't need to agree with you . Everyone has their own personal preferences.. and I like cute over sexy anyways. And I would classify her as cute most of the time. Another factor is that being an American Korean, she does stand out, from all of the other typical Korean looking girls, and with her distinct voice.. she just draws me in.
Maybe you'll turn you into a Jessica fan with enough time But hey.. if not.. the great thing about the "Ice Princess" is that she doesn't really care
