I've realized that contrary to my previous beliefs I don't hate the sound of Japanese singing/Jpop songs, I just hate the way kpop groups sound when they sing in Japanese. Listened to some jpop for the first time over the weekend and found it actually pretty enjoyable.

She pretty much always looks good, with no bad angles and is still attractive with little to no makeup. Her personality is quite dorky, but her cuteness/appeal seems genuine and not an act. She's not the best at aegyo or acting sexy, but manages to appeal regardless. She had her chubby phase, but I didn't think it was as big a deal as most people. I get the Krystal appeal, but I can't help but feel like she'd blend right in amongst the Asian girls I see here in LA all the time. Plus, I get the bratty impression from her for some reason. Ga-in has her moments, but is one of those who looks her best with a heavy makeup on, which is a bit of a negative for me. Seohyun is so stiff and boring most of the time, and comes off as a bit of a try-hard or phoney to me when she's trying to be cute or appealing. When not acting or trying to be cute, her natural expression makes her look uptight and stern. 2. Ellin ~ Soyul > Gummi > Twins IMO. I can't get over that the twins look like Kan Mi Yeon, who I have never found attractive. The group's appeal to me is that they are cute, but don't come off as trying too hard or being over the top. Their songs are catchy and cute, and I really like their choreography as it goes well with the music and their image. They're not the most talented or most attractive group, but I think they have an identity and execute it well. 3. Agree that BoA's choreography in her new song doesn't seem to match the music. It's intricate and impressive on its own, but it seems to completely ignore the music. I agree with the contrast to Taeyang's choreography which usually does a very good job of matching the music and conveying the emotions involved. BoA is very talented for sure, but this was not one of her better songs or performances. Actually I get the bratty vibe from Krystal as well. I have watched a few f(x) variety shows and sometimes she seems like she couldn't give a damn about the show. Be professional and give the viewers your best instead of pouting in the background. | ||

All these picture spamming kids and fanboys here hate me though cause I just take a giant dump on their hopes and dreams. The truth hurts and reality really is a bitch. Thread's garbage now. Literally just a bunch of people turning this into an irc chat room with pic spams and one liners about their lives and random conversations that have nothing to do with the overall topic. Shit gets derailed so fast. I read and I watch vids to see if there's any substance in here. Occasionally there'll be some, but for the most part just a bunch of garbage in here. Spammed pictures, little content, essentially no discussion. It gets annoying having to sift through pages of stuff just to find maybe one or two posts that contain any worthwhile substance. I wanted to make a post like this awhile back but was too lazy to log in just to type a bitch post. This thread is literally so garbage to read now. I think there were 10 pages of nothing but talk about tweeting crayon pop. I've tried to listen to both songs and closed both of them out before they finished. It doesn't help that every other page on this thread is an irc conversation either. I used to read almost every single post but I guess I'm going to have to do selective reading now. This thread has been on a steady decline for the past 500-700 pages and then took a nose dive in the last 300 pages. Not to single out Tuelite but his posts have gotten creepier as well. | ||

So here's a little excerpt: I mean, I did not like how he was posting, but I kind of feel a bit sad for him. He could have always came back and just be like "hey guys, sorry for being overzealous in my posting" and posted more "normally" (well, "KMD normally"). I think we'd all get over it. I feel bad but I lol'd at this. Poor firehand.. Come back and redeem yourself! I think I preferred your posts to a lot of recent stuff.

Maybe it's because she kept sharing screen time with Taec and Ham but idk, it just wasn't her best imo. I don't think you quite get the Krystal appeal. That is her appeal. Sort of spoiled, bitchy, entitled, pseudo Korean-American valley girl. As for Seohyun, it's true she gives the stiff/uptight underclassmen vibe.. which also has a market. I guess it just comes down to my preferences then. Suzy type > Krystal > Seohyun type for me. Seohyun comes off as nice, earnest, and well-intentioned, but man I don't think there'd be a Kpop idol that'd be less fun to hang out with. From what I've seen, she's very opinionated/judgmental and overly serious for the most part. I prefer a more light-hearted and fun-loving type. | ||

Sometimes hard not to notice how close together her eyes are ![]() I was gonna say with Hwa out PJY is now the undisputed maknae, completely forgot about Ahreum. But I still consider her the maknae cause she has been for years. Since Ahreum is a late addition I don't quite feel like she counts. I think a big part of it is the maknae label I've subconsciously kinda slapped her with since that's how she's acted and been treated in most of T-ara's variety until now and I know literally nothing about Ahreum's personality since KKS seems to keep her as low-key as possible. Also for some reason the close eyes part has never bothered me. Had people not made such a big deal out of it I don't think I'd really have noticed at all, except for those predebut pics of her without eyeliner. | ||

She's just a head above the rest of the group in terms of stage presence and marketability (which includes appeal in variety settings). | ||

Also, I agree with Hyuna > 4minute. I actually listen to some of their musc and I don't even know their names. Very forgettable personalities. | ||

Freaking pedo's on this thread support Dani. You should be ashamed. It wouldn't be so bad if she had some tangible form of talent, so you guys could at least try and hide the fact that you guys are creeping it up on a 12 yr old. At least Tuelite's waifu, Nicole, is of age, and is an actual contributor to Kara. | ||

I think we had poll like 20 pages back, majority of us are older than 18.... How about new rule, if you like Dani, plox put your age so we can determine whether or not you're creepy as fuck. | ||

Today is just not your day. As much as I don't like Dani, I'm glad there is at least 1 fan in the KMD. Keep your head high, stay strong, and keep shuffling ![]() | ||
