That's how it's spelled in the hangul too, but listen to the promo. Clearly fister.

Sounds like it may turn out quite good. Looking forward to this group. Their debut, right?

Well the title of the song is 'Vista'... So that's probably where it comes from.

Only other Hyemi I know of is in Nine Muses. Ironically there's also a Hyuna in that group.

Dunno if any of you guys have read this or seen this before -- this thread moves super-fast -- but if anyone is interested in a dissection of the Gangnam Style video, then you should read this article. It's pretty interesting and talks about Psy's video and song as very subtle social commentary. Not being Korean myself, I can't know for sure how much of this article is strictly accurate or which interpretations are likely and which ones aren't, but as I said, it's a good read.

According to TS Entertainment, “Poison will have all the unique characteristics and colors of Secret but will have a change in concept from the cute and friendly image [shown in the past] to a sexy and feminine concept. It will be a new leaping point for Secret.”

They're already sexy..............Now they are going to be sexier?
I'm okay with this...

Old news.
To address your point, korean press releases are often poorly written (not even just the translation) and feature a lot of generic adjectives and hyperbole. All that tells us is that they're gonna be sexy, which was a given ofc. can't wait for more Hyosungs.

There will be so many Hyoleans yo. Please please please tell me there's a gif of this somewhere, or someone is willing to take one for the team. I don't even care if Yuri is ever mentioned in this thread again. Please help a desperate brother out.

Here's some fancafe rankings for idol groups because I know we all love rankings! I don't know how accurate these numbers are and how recent they are, but from what it looks like, the scandal shafted T-ara hardcore. Surprised f(x) is top 5 though.

Also, more Hwatergate.

well, compared to what they write on their own twitters and publish over their official channels, i'd bet against that.

Yeah, wow those T-ara numbers. I've always thought they were top 5 in Korea with SNSD/2NE1/WG/KARA (no internal rankings)

Anyone have any old rankings from before the Hwatergate?

Lee Hae In is god-like. And yes, I hope CCM sits with a huge pile of money intended for T-ara which will not be funneled into Gangkiz. Mama, Honey and Super Love are awesome awesome songs. Best debut of the year (together with Crayon Pop obviously).

And that Yuri gif. I've seen the video before, but for some odd reason never looked for a gif of it. When it was posted again I went "yes, please", and after the typical quick KMD response by Hall0wed, this was my reaction:

Anyway, I have some interesting pictures to show you guys.

I'm a big fan of Kahi, I even went through the trouble of getting her solo album physically, and when I was casually strolling around Twitter yesterday, I saw some very... shall we say interesting.. posts on her Twitter from a recent photoshoot.

"What's so interesting about that Cookies, that's just some generic photoshoot for some clothing brand."

At least there's abs in the last picture...

EDIT: Why are Sistar at the bottom?

I just caught up to the latest episode of Reply 1997 or Answer Me 1997. Eunji so OP, but Chorong's cameo in one episode made me love her more, haha. Anyways, this was just uploaded:

Damn, she is OP. Definitely a carry when it comes to voices. Definitely recommend this drama because it reflects how kpop fans were in the 1997 era. Saesang fans and fanwars. It was crazy. The story is pretty good. Eun Jiwon plays a character who happens to look like Eun Jiwon, lol. Love it.
