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. |

Radio 1 is generally a decent station for contemporary music, depending on the time of day. Doesn't surprise me the listeners would completely shit on that 2ne1 track, it's awful. Said so when it was posted here. Yeah but the song actually being awful won't stop any 2ne1 fans. I'd understand if it was a more generic poppy song that happened to be in Korean, but even then understanding lyrics is a big part of music for most people. happy (TL) birfday fawkes! You guys missed the point. They may have overreacted but they had a right to be upset in the first place. The song was actually liked by a majority of the listeners. As of now, the song has a massive lead on the other songs on the program, which was listed as a new music review. BBC radio poll resultsThe DJ's are to blame here with ignorant comments like "if you're a foreign band, try to make sure everyone can pronounce your name (laughs)" -the female dj How hard is it to pronounce 2-N-E-1??!! poll don't mean shit bro. First it's biased because only people really interested are gonna vote, and second because blackjacks prolly heard of this issue and then spammed the polls. Doesn't mean most BBC listeners liked it. You said the listeners hated on the track yet the your gonna tell me that the same people who took the effort to complain wouldn't have voted as well? Even without that, it still doesn't condone a DJ from not acting as a professional and spouting out ignorant, if not racist comments. They should know better. Happy Birthday guys! + Show Spoiler + 1. I didn't listen. Conflicting reports (firehand vs original guy who brought it up) as to what the radio host said. I'm not going to comment on that. 2. radio djs tend to be assholes. Don't believe me, listen to the radio. The one comment you brought up is obviously a joke and if you don't like it you have a really thin skin. The DJs aren't being racist or even ignorant, they make cracks about everyone all the time. 3. People calling into the radio and people answering a poll are 2 different things. Are there people who feel strongly either way? Yes, but what I said is that a ton of people answering the poll probably are already 2ne1 fans who aren't even listeners, they saw blackjacks bitching on the internet and decided to white knight it up. @firehand- I disliked I am the Best too, go figure. Well Dystopia, im starting to think a lot of people on this thread just dont get 2NE1. Their popularity is amazing, and so are their songs. I mean, with almost 50MILLION views for Naega jeil jal naga, dont you think you are in the minority? Their musical is so interesting and technical, and this latest hit is no different. WAIT A SEC. Lets ALL just sit and think for a minute. We have just witnessed a Kpop song play on the 2nd highest rated Radio Show across the UK.....just think about that for a minute.......... seriously guys, it is this sort of stuff that we should be talking about and celebrating in the kpop discussion thread. I mean, pics of tiffany are great, but we have to talk about the amazing music and how it is shaping up in the world. I really think we need to adopt the reddit style and have one thread for music, and another for pics http://www.reddit.com/r/kpophttp://www.reddit.com/r/kpicsobserve if you havent already seriously, lets appreciate the song. Like it or not, its playing in the god damn UK!!! Since when has youtube views meant shit? And it seems like yet again someone(I think you) are advocating to split the thread. What's there to get about 2ne1? You either like them or you don't. It changes from person to person. I personally can't stand their music, nor the visuals. Congrats they got onto a UK radio show, it will probably be a one time thing.
I for one do think Youtube views mean a lot in terms of popularity and fanbase: for instance i love you is #17 in Australia now and so is being seen by others who maybe dont know who kpop is. And god you're pessimistic. Maybe it won't be a one time thing. Maybe their fanbase will grow in the UK, maybe their world launch will be a success, maybe if we act positive it would be a better world.....
and yes i want a split, im sick of the misleading title. We should name this Korean Idol Picture thread if we keep up with this. 85% of posts are pics, its not a music discussion at all. Im fine with that, in fact i prefer it most of the time, but i think they should be separate

too bad the people who've been here for years as well as the 5+ mods who regularly read this thread don't.

I don't know what you're getting at but I assume that's the point

Okay I see the reasoning for a split thread being a bad idea and i take it back. And whoever said it got slammed because its shit......well its not shit fricken hell. I dont understand how any of you disregard youtube numbers altogether, it baffles me...but almost 3 million views in almost 4 days...they have to be doing SOMETHING right.
You don't have to like it ! I never said you did! I just said appreciate that they are making an impact around the world, no matter how big or small...........
but anyways, if you cant beat em, join em

Boop!  couldn't have said it better, really.
Title isn't that misleading, and it takes maybe a few seconds to load a page, a fraction of a second for one's eye to perceive the colors associated with a picture, and with luck only another fraction of a second for the reader to realize that the world as we know it is ending, and that he or she will never get these few seconds back. And then a second or two more to close the thread, devastated that he had to view general pictures instead of witness glowing passages prosaically putting perpetual praise on 2NE1. It's a sad world. A dystopia, really.
That's a repost rofl~

That's a repost too. @firehand

KMD is fine the way it is, any uppity plebs who want a split (it's always a newish poster for this thread too) will convert soon enough.

I obviously understand the reasoning now...there aren't really enough of us to have two separate ones, so its a lot easier like this...i just assumed there was a lot more due to the number of posts made
EDIT: lol @ the kid above me, dw its at me <3

No it's at me too. I once asked him not to say that 2NE1 outright sucked as he claimed, and then it started a ridiculous discussion that shouldn't have happened. :p

It's not a "discussion" if there aren't multiple opinions, right? I mean I was surely beat down for this.

nonono i retract i retract!
But my statement still remains that people care more about a Tiff Giff than 2NE1's single being played in the UK
EDIT: @Asie, yes you should tell him that! shame on him haha 
i just dont know how you can say 2NE1 sucks that much, wtf is so bad about them??

I was kidding, trying to bait a reaction :O sowwy
Yeah I have no idea. Haven't met a single person who shares my birthday and suddenly there's three of us in KMD. Go figure.
What's that one movie/book in which the hero fights only to realize that the conflict has always orchestrated etc to give a false purpose to the fighters? I know Matrix does it, but for some reason I feel like I'm thinking of another one.
...and no we don't ASie  I was obviously kidding (or so I thought :<)

Do you guys realize how awesome it is to be born on 7-11?! Only if you have 7-11 stores near you.
I plan to get some more albums for random collections, anyone have any albums they have enjoyed owning and think they are worthwhile to buy? Bonus material that comes with it, good photo album/cover thing, etc.
