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.

Baek seung heon put on a terrible performance lol. The worst thing about singing over a recording is that it's painfully obvious just how out of tune you are. x10 when you're solo.
And of course didnt' enjoy fiestar as expected -_-
After listening to the new Fiestar song a couple of times I've actually changed my mind, it's not that bad after all.. but I still can't stop staring at their bad hairstyles, seriously what's going on there... They got Linzy freaking top tier chick and in the live performance she got the spotlight for a whooping 5 seconds or something and bad hair with that... Not as bad as the rest no namer members that look like they stuck a fork into the electricity socket but still.. She was perfect with her short pre debut hair.. So mad at dumb decisions lol.
EXID good as always with their sick outfits but damn it looks like it's a habit now to cut their performance time to like 2 minutes.. dafuq is up with that..
Not too much of a fan of Fiestar's new song. I wouldn't call it very bad though. The song is just a little bit all over the place in terms of tempo changes and whatnot. It's like they randomly mashed a lot of different parts together, which means the song doesn't really flow too well. Jei still very good however!

I liked Glam's debut song one hell of a lot more than this song. I agree with Vista being better than both though.
The rapping in that EXID video is really annoying. I've noticed in quite a bit of K-pop rapping that '고' is pronounced a lot like English 'go' and not the Korean pronunciation. Is this a thing?
I seriously don't get how they could make Linzy look bad, but they magically were able to do it. Thankfully Jei still looks great as usual!
Also, they still haven't learned that the choreography of constantly covering one of its members is terrible. Look at body formations throughout entire formation, it's a constant illusion of a 5 member group, only odd camera angles shows the 6th member. The dance overall is still pretty lackluster.
Also, wtb Hyuna's rainbow brick pants, those look awesome as fuck.

That is pretty much how you would write it in Hangul. ㄱmakes a sound between k/g and ㅗ makes an 'oh' or 'o' sound. Isn't it supposed to be English in the first place but is put in Hangul so all the kids at home can sing along?
Depends. 고 is used in Korean too so it depends on te context it's in. And ㅗ was explained to me to be less "open" than "oh" is pronounced if that makes sense.

It makes a lot of sense, and of course context always matters but I've seen them put English words into Hangul in music shows before (you know how they put the lyrics at the bottom left of the screen usually). My guess is that in rap if they are saying go repeatedly its just konglish not true korean.
