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.

They have easily eclipsed every other group that debuted between 2010 and 2012 - all the way up to Hello Venus and Crayon Pop that is. But I would of completely skipped over them had it not been for A-Pink News and their super variety/entertainment skills.
I was thinking more like 2ne1/WG/KARA caliber. Obviously not yet but I think they'll get there in a few years.

Yeah I don't see it. At all. Would you care to explain? Vaguely similar concept I guess, different music. Suzy still needs to join A Pink though! And wtf was everyone thinking last page, of course you're going to get banned for that...
EDIT: Praise Thor, Lime's hair isn't that awful blue color anymore.
I think super junior should only ever do concepts involving suits/long sleeves from now on because of the kangin and shindong situation. Shindong actually looks rather good in a nice, slimming, black suit.
And the choreo's mostly standing around pretending to hold guns so he doesn't sweat too much during live perfs. This spy thing really works, imo.
I request a change of the current topic at hand...
Look, this is interesting, DSP is requesting a dress code for KARA's showcase.
Applications for the showcase have opened and DSP has requested a Dress Code, everyone wear a Black Jacket. A basic long sleeved black jacket will do. They said the reason for this will be revealed on showcase day. Best dressed with fashion sense will be selected for a special event.
I don't remember seeing it and havent had much time/will to read this thread lately, but I found this from PSY's summer concert. He danced to Poker face and Sistar's Alone. I didn't see a good quality video of poker face though. + Show Spoiler [PSY - Alone] +

dunno I just get that kinda feeling off em', wasn't suggesting anything negative though.
I will never understand why Kara are up there at the god tier. I love them individually but I only know them for their butt shake dance as a group and have no idea what they have done since. I can't imagine SNSD being so popular if Gee was the only thing I could remember them doing.
A Pink deserve to be where they are, but it makes me feel crappy as hell for Girls Day and Rainbow. I always expected them to get super popular and start scoring auto-#1's following some kind of Time = Success corelation but A Pink have completely jumped them.

Also they have done like 4 albums since, including Step, their best song and performances ever. They have conquered Japan multiple times over and had one of the most successful international KPop concert of all time.
If you didn't know all of that about KARA may I ask what KPop (groups ?) are you a fan of ?
Time is not success, money and connection is, sometimes one group will break through(like KARA did) but with 30 new girl groups every year or so thats not going to happen.
Kara's from a time where K-Pop probably wasn't as big as it is today (definitely wasn't outside Korea/Japan) and we didn't have literally hundreds of trainees every year trying to debut in some way. It was posted in here some while ago, but there's a really good video somewhere (I'm sure TuElite has it) which shows Kara from their '07 debut until today. They've done a lot of shit to get to where they are today.
I hope it's to shove a 2x4 into his face. PSY risks getting tainted and I honestly can't see how a move like this would help him if he wants success in the US. I can't imagine they go for the same demographic.

Happy birthday Dystopia!
I enjoy all groups, at least, I have alot of biases from every group! (see my quote). Thanks for the video. It is nice to know more about Kara although in all honesty every group works just as hard and I think they were fortunate to debut in 2007, as well as having the experience from the company that gave Fin.K.L.
As for my favorite group, I am and will always be a SONE first.
Even though I don't know as much about Kara as other groups, I have a massive amount of respect for them irregardless of their music because 1) they roughed out the contract issues and became even more popular. 2) Goo Hara, despite her small image has a titanium will even for an idol (winning her drama role and publicly dating). I also acknowledge they are the #1 Korean group in Japan.
I hope it's to shove a 2x4 into his face. PSY risks getting tainted and I honestly can't see how a move like this would help him if he wants success in the US. I can't imagine they go for the same demographic.
No worries, debunked a few days ago

Q: We heard that you plan to visit the U.S. next week. Some Korean media have reported that you and Justin Bieber are going to do joint projects. Is that true?
A: No, that’s not true. But it is true that I am going to meet with Scooter Braun, who produced Justin Bieber. Mr. Braun actually wrote about me on Twitter. It will just be a casual meeting. I don’t know where some of the reporters got their information. It sounds like Justin Bieber and I have already become best buddies! I am a bit embarrassed. To be honest, I don’t expect people in the U.S. to recognize me or anything. I don’t take in the media hype but I plan to do some media interviews while I’m there.
Also keke we are the few and the proud survivors of KMD
And wow, respect to KARA. That's pretty dang cool. Also I really really like Step (both the song and the album). At first I didn't think I would like KARA much, but that album was fantastic.
Also happy birthday Dystopia good thing it's a party hat instead of a lock ^^
