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.

For the most part they came out pretty shitty but here is the link if you are interested. Link to the rest of the pics
Looks like they attracted some paparazzi which I found a little surprising. The girls looked really happy with the turnout! Maybe even a little shocked.
Less than 24hrs until the concert!!!!!! Anyone have experience with sound check parties? I was wondering if they let you in and then back out of the arena? Or do you just stay until the show starts? Also, is there a chance to get an autograph and give a present? Any help would be much appreciated!
o_O I seriously don't know why people go to the airport to see them. Slightly creepy to just go out of your way to go there just to yell "안녕하세요" from across the room...

You actually are comparing American pop culture to Kpop? It's not even fucking close dude, disgust and hate are the correct response to most western media.
Ok I don't particularly like a lot of modern western pop, but that's a little harsh. There are sellouts, there are talentless hacks, there are truly irritating people, but most of them aren't completely unlikable. Disgust and hate are most definitely not the "correct" response, come on. This is the kind of sewage that isolates KMD from the rest of tlnet.
Well it's probably because of a combination of things. I think as long as you're already in the area or rather close, it might be fun just to go see them in person, and that depends on how much of a fan you are. For example if Roger Federer were to come on a commercial aircraft to SFO he would probably be swarmed with fans, and I might just plan a day trip there and pop around to catch a glimpse of him while I'm there. But it's Roger freaking Federer so he has to fly private lol, probably wouldn't even see him.
I don't think anybody would travel somewhere literally just for a chance to greet a group that way ofc (unless he/she's a reporter or something).

Alright, you're right, that was a bit harsh. Maybe it's because that's what's highlighted in the media, but the kind of crap that flows out of Hollywood is truly disturbing at times.

Yeah, I'd love to see them in person too, but still seems so invasive of their personal space. If it was a meet & greet, (which like, never happens) I'd be the first one there
I'm a long drive tomorrow (leaving from work to drive down to central IL for a bachelor party, 3+ hour drive), and my playlist is full of Kpop and TTMIK lessons.
I suddenly became this person, and I can't think of anyone to blame but the people here on KMD. It's all your fault.

It's pretty cool to see them, but they're whisked off quickly and you should get there early to get a good spot if you know they're popular. Early to accommodate flying advances and such. Usually you can just check the day before.
So far I think this is my favorite trailer by girl but least favorite by music. It's the same theme but I liked the music of some of the other trailers better.
