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.

Ailee > Idols
Honestly I think that's just it, she appears way too much like a western superstar, which is awesome in itself but not at all what I'm looking for in Kpop.
What makes a song stay/disappear from Music Bank? I was thinking about Ice Cream, every performance is so bad but Hyuna has been on with that song ever since it came out.

I think it's a combination of how popular it is, and how hard the label behind the song is pushing it, but I could be totally wrong.
I have no idea how ailee is winning with this mediocre song when she didn't get anywhere with heaven
gavy nj ballads are good as always they had a really schizophrenic period where they couldn't decide which genre they wanted to devote their albums to. not everyone can straddle the fence comfortably like davichi.

Well, music shows can decline performers (see Crayon Pop), but iirc the production companies also eat a lot of the cost for getting them out there, though in the case of a single performer it's lessened. Much harder to get a big group somewhere (transport, makeup, clothing, etc.) than a single person.
What is it about? K-Pop is the world by storm! Ant Sweet Korean bubblegum music full of bright colors and a fine Asian Sex edge. Stadiums full of screaming fans go for the ax. In South Korea, but also in the rest of the world. That means business. 9 Muses or Star Empire is about how the pop group, no, rather the concept 9 Muses is launched. Nine girls with the dream to become a superstar, and at least as many people in the staff struggle to the big dream. We next group in the rehearsal room, studio, on stage, in the conference room, in the bedroom or wherever they need to exhibit their art or practice. We see many tears, sighs, and sometimes quarrel, in the distance, a little glamor. But that is short.
What we found them? We already knew that many pop acts by smart guys on the drawing remembered, but here goes another one (Asian?) Step further. This makes 9 Muses an amazing movie. The nine girls in the eyes of the staff nothing less than machines that have to do what is being said. Hook a girl off, then just another retracted and continued on the same footing. The girls get it both physically and mentally getting heavier because the road to success what appears difficult than estimated. There are also more people angry and there is increasing cried: manager angry, crying, choreographer angry, crying, producer angry, crying, clip director angry, crying. The viewer thinks the girls are really good enough? Anyone who thinks this movie is staged also, but it is never pronounced. However, the training tightened. Practice harder, earlier on, do not complain. Ultimately it is a genuine agony, where you open-mouthed're watching.
I didn't see the problem with Sunny picture at first. I managed to open the picture without seeing the top half first. Not bad. Then I scrolled up and saw the hair... Why are you doing this to me Sunny?
@below- I have gotten to the point where if I actually concentrate I can understand most kpop lyrics, but if I'm just listening casually/doing something else I wouldn't.
If you don't mind me asking, what method are you using to study and how long have you been studying?

Google translate seems to be doing pretty good. Aks away if you're really keen on understanding a certain part better though.
You wanted to talk about K-Pop. What is the reason that you didn’t reflect a story of big stars such as next generation? If I used next generation in the movie, it will be more eye-catching and profitable from business perspective. But I didn’t film this movie to show a success story of stars. Rather, I wanted to see the nature of entertainment business hidden by the fancy stages and looks.
I wanted to find an agency and girl group who can tell their stories truthfully. So I think that it was not a bad decision to meet Nine Muses and Start Empire. I wanted people to reflect on their lives by watching the nine girls’ efforts and fierce competition to become stars.
They really expand on things that you only get a glimpse of in stuff like A Pink News, GGTS, Secret Story etc. Like struggles between members, the way they are being treated by their company (a ridiculous amount of very harsh criticism, always pushing them harder etc). And it does really very feel raw/real (I really can't find the right word/way to describe this), as opposed to a lot of the other BTS stuff you get to see, whose main purpose is promoting the group. There wasn't a very distinctive story though imo. It rather were a lot of cuts that show a wide variety of the hardships they went through. + a little bit of insight in the management etc. All in all it's pretty interesting/insightful and it does really make you respect the determination they have.
