wasnt she the one that barely managed to escape jail for adultery or was that someone else? iirc that clusterfuck involved a So-Ri

A google search yielded no results for this particular sori.

The last time she promoted was in 2010.

What a fucking country. Jail time for adultery? So conservative yet there's kids strutting their asses on national tv shows all the time (not complaining though). It's kinda like how in japan people are so very timid yet on TV you see people slapping eachother, blow air up eachothers butts, or do other weird shit.

That is just how they run their culture i guess... much stricter, but the benefits are a more obedient and, in my eyes, successful society economically and morally, although freedom may be lacking here and there...

His point wasn't that they're all uptight, full stop; his point was that there are a lot of apparently hypocritical and/or contradictory things about Korean culture.

This isn't really the place to talk about stuff like this but a more successful society compared to what? From what i know women's rights are shit in both SK and japan, the rights of the average working class is also shit, and there's a high poverty rate. Rose-colored glasses much?

If i am not mistaken, isn't korea known for it's suicide cases for celebrities and politician?

My father told me that the former prime minister of korea commited suicide due to stress if i am not mistaken.

active doesn't necessarily mean quality though. Apparently I argued with some dude for an hour and he just turned out to be confused.

The more the days go by, the more I realize KPop is all about the K.A.R.A.

They did amazing in Singapore. Great interviews. LOTS AND LOTS of English being spoken by Nicole...
..SO AMAZING. Her voice when she speaks English just capture my soul and makes me levitate. So sweet and delicate and aww she just sounds perfect man.
They brought up fans on the stage again to dance with them to all the songs haha so amazing, someone I know from Twitter was picked and absolutely killed it all KARA members were shocked at how well she danced haha.
And those white dresses man, gosh.

@TuElite you should try writing romance novels with a heroine based on you-know-who, I'm sure you'd do great

Thanks for thinking I'd do great but nah, I'm not into fan fictions or that kind of stuff. I can't like put people in situations, I don't know if you understand what I mean... I just don't like doing that to me that's not interesting.

Yeah yeah totally I just don't like that kind of writing.

I like to praise and analyse.

That being said I'm currently attempting to do viral promotion/advertisement for KARA on different random websites and that's quite fun and so far the results seem great so maybe I'll take my writing there or something.

I only wished I had other skills like video editing or Photoshop, would make my life so much easier and triple the effectiveness of my advertisements and promotion.

Talking about advertisement.
Here's a reminder that KARA will once again perform in Los Angeles in August. Tickets will go on sale on the 18th of this month.

Depends on the settings. On stage, in front of a big crowd, that's what comes out, yes. And I think it's pretty adorable lol.

But in a quiet, calm, more personal/private setting such as the MSN interviews they did over there her English is totally fine in my opinion. Plus it's not about her vocabulary nor her pronunciation to me it's about her voice, just how she sounds. It's like what flowers would sound like if they could talk you know.

Edited/updated previous post.

I go sleep now, maybe dream of Cole.
Good day to you Europeans.
