I have noticed that his posts have become more spiteful, although that may just be selective memory since it stands out more than regular praise. Yeah like how I totally didn't fawn over BoA this comeback, or PSY or a whole slew of other artists. How about when I was one of the few that really liked 'Like This'? Learn to read please. | ||

Maybe before the bullying thing. WG is still pretty big though. I actually don't know how Japan responded to the bullying thing if at all. I didn't get the impression that AS was successful in Japan, but I could be wrong. | ||

Being an idol only happens to people with above-average traits like looks, voice, etc. If you look at the state of the current kpop business, average is not the word you'll find there. And if you think that they used to be normal, average people that just really work hard, you're wrong. + Show Spoiler + (and snsd is one of the groups that really fits this narrative, sones just love to talk about how hard the girls work) What have they been working on then? Can't you see the hypocrisy of your post, stating that the Wonder Girls apparently have an 'unattractive image that implies massive popularity without excessive individual effort and instead, dependence on JYP', while WG's latest promotions overall were actually decent + Show Spoiler + (2 Different Tears was kinda horrible, but the album overall made up for it, Be My Baby was good, album was great, DJ was mine ... awkward dubstep, Like This was meh, but the other song they promoted during those promotions was pretty good) Hoot, Mr.Taxi, THE BOYS (ugh), Paparazzi SNSD has been able to maintain a lot of their popularity due to their 'older' work, and I don't think that WG's situation differs all too much from theirs, but SNSD's recent work shouldn't deserve that much attention at all. I think that, if the WG's really had depended solely on JYP's name with SNSD's newer songs, they would've disbanded a few months ago, also because they were nowhere to be found for almost 2 years because fknoob JYP send them to the USA. gonna ignore the first and second para of emotional rant because you completely miss the point, i am pointing out that the image of an individual idol working hard is appealing to the typical fan. whether this image is real or marketed or forced upon is another thing but among the current popular idol groups the best example i could think of that would support my claim is SNSD what does this have to do with sohee? she has been derpy since day 0 until now and WG as individual members for a group as popular as theirs, have hardly any regular appearances on korean variety shows / talk shows or radio shows etc, if you didnt find her cute in the first place, its probably the end because the only thing that "changes" about her on television is her promotional concept. but look back on how often people in this thread remark "oh i hated <snsd / t-ara / kara member> but after watching <insert show> shes not too bad anymore" and god damm the rest of your post is just desperate WG > SNSD | ||

You made your point, but you didn't have to add in this little quib. I wasn't hating on you, I was just saying how I saw what Nesserev was posting.

I had thought T-ara was ahead of WG, and even #2 ahead of 2NE1. T-ara was promoting like crazy in the past year, so their popularity shot upward. | ||

I'd probably leave the KMD the day that happens. Now make that fanpost into a blog post. It'd be intriguing seeing you argue your point of her cuteness... Also, Sistar is probably receiving that T-ara phenomenon where they keep promoting and their popularity is just shooting up. It's because they are staying relevant in the K-Pop world unlike other groups who often go on year long hiatus. | ||

Also that vintage man video, DAT V-neck, and stache. | ||
