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.

Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.
^Excerpt from Win Win episode that featured 2PM & 2AM later on. Taecyeon was describing his JYP audition, apparently had no talent and was only auditioning as a model anyway. Screamo would be a nice change to the extremely static 2PM style....I think.
Anyway, it kinda sucks that the whole accident thing happened to Nichkhun since he's made recent appearances on the popular variety shows and such. (Running Man, Idol Olympics thing - had heavy involvement in both)
He should but like with every idol scandal some money will be spread around, witnesses will say "it wasn't really idol's fault", dude will get off, family will say that it's ok, they understand, they ain't mad, etc.

He finally met Linkin Park in Japan. Thanks to them, he was able to join JYP with his "In The End" audition.
Elaborate. I love all of these above things And whoever was counting days until Firehand is back, how many days are left? I feel like we need some sort of public service announcement/warning

Your post history screams 14 year old on Youtube and your mod history doesn't help matters.
I don't want to call you guys out early, in case this article is misleading (it's from AKP), but it's been reported that Nickhuns blood alcohol level was 0.056%. Now, I don't know if you guys actually know how much that is, but you're acting as if he pulled a DUI accident.
I'm not familiar with the laws in Korea specifically, but that is the equivalent of having 1-2 glasses of beer depending on body weight. He wasn't drunk. At that level he wouldn't even be tipsy.
He may have been driving like an asshat, but if these reports are correct, it's unfair to act like he's a criminal or that alcohol had any significance on the accident.

Think about what you post. You have no facts and you're just pitchforking. Take that kind of post to AKP or some fan site.
Blood alcohol high enough to have his license revoked, a guy is in the hospital with a fucked up back and shoulder, lost a fair amount of blood and can barely move.

Looked it up, apparently 0.05% is the legal limit in Korea. You still have no idea if alcohol had any impact on the crash, or who was at fault. I still think you should reserve your judgement before finding more information.
I'm sure you sourcing AKP when you talk about the injuries, which is pretty reliable, right?
And yeah, @Synapze I was actually mildly wondering the same thing. That level is just barely over the legal limit (and it's confirmed that he has about 1-2 glasses of beer), which is set quite low. Maybe his alcohol tolerance is downright terrible, but I think it was more that he was driving extremely recklessly and unable able to see the motorcyclist than being drunk.
However he was legally over the limit and I imagine that they will prosecute for that, as after all, there is saddeningly a really injured victim here as a result of his actions (so the reason behind the accident is beside the point at this moment). More than that I don't feel I have anything to comment on. Overall I just think it's a very sad incident and hope the best for the victim. Riding motorcycles is extremely dangerous, and there's the thing with hospital workers sometimes referring to them as "organ donors" because it doesn't take too much to critically injure or kill a motorcyclist....really scary :/

I used to think this too as a kid at 18. then college happened. and then 21st came and went. now it's anything over 2 shots/beers within the last hour and I call a cab/friend.
I'm not sure how this will factor into this conversation, but I'm sure the alcohol tolerance in Korea is much higher than it is in the US because there fucking everyone and their grandmother drinks with aplomb, as well as start much earlier than we (at least in the US) do.
not sure what I wanted to say with this post. probably that people should stop making such naive judgements so prematurely; rumors and wannabe korean gossip articles are pretty solid sources. that's disregarding the fact that the majority of users here aren't legally allowed to drink in the US, although I can't say much about yuros.
Ya'll never specified which Korea we're taking music from.
edit- ^idk but in my experience, having seen friends drive slightly intoxicated and attempting to drive myself after being extremely high, I still stand by my rule above. Probably nothing will happen if you drive after a drink or two, but I still don't consider the risk worth it.
As for the drink drive thing, I've been in 3 wrecks in my life, none of them with me at the wheel and all of them when the driver had been drinking. We can't know for sure if it was the drink that caused the accident, but I'm willing to bet it had at least some influence. Even being the slightest bit tipsy causes lapses in concentration and slower reaction times. That's all it takes for someone to get killed.
When I said he should get jail time, I mean if he is found guilty of causing this accident because of drinking, and not getting away with it because he is a celebrity and/or throwing money at it.
