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.
Since the year is nearly over, how about we do favourite release for the year? This is for overall release, not for a single song, so it means you like the main title song (if applicable) but the other songs are as good (or better).
Mine would probably be: Miss A - Touch (Touch is probably my least favourite, everything else is better IMO) Jewelry - Look At Me (Mix of tracks with different vibes depending on your mood) Wonder Girls - Wonder Party (Almost all of it is catchy as hell, and R.E.A.L is awesome) G-Dragon - One of a Kind (It really is) f(x) - Electric Shock (Only recently started to listen to all of the tracks on this, toss up between this and Big Bang - Still Alive).
Special mention to Sunny Hill - Grasshoppers, because the title song is amazing, but the rest let it down IMO, so it doesn't make the cut.
Since many people often only listen to the released song, rather than getting the full release and listening to the other songs.
Completely forgot 9 Muses - Sweet Rendezvous, although that's a bit of a cheat since it's basically singles from 2011 and 2012 packaged on one EP.

Entire releases off the top of my head that I absolutely loved.
Twinkle Electric Shock Day by Day (02) Primary And The Messengers
Man...there's too many albums I love...
She's gone Catch Me Supersonic Phantom City
Well, fk this. If I kept going through releases this year, I'm gonna end up listing more than half of them. Which I suppose ruins the point of "top releases of the year".
A-pink - Une annee (A-pink OP, filled with good songs) Sistar - Loving u(Only a minialbum but loving u, amazing song with the best performance of the year) Miss A - Independent Women/Touch (Both of them guud)
*edit* Big Bang - Alive (I like a majority of the songson this album) I wanna say wonder girls, but unfortunately not as good as old WG
Sistar-Alone Phantom - Phantom City 4minute-Volume Up Orange Caramel-Lipstick Ga In- Talk About S G-Dragon- One of a Kind (despite crayon, and one of a kind, the rest of the album was really good) SNSD TTS-Twinkle Handsome People-Are You Handsome
Sistar-Alone definitely takes the cake for this year though, all of the songs on that album is awesome.
It's been a pretty damn good year overall I'd say as none of my go-to groups have disappointed, apart from maybe Kara & Orange Caramel(they still got some awesome songs out though) For me these albums are the best I've heard this year, based on the fact that I like all of the songs on them:
Younha - Supersonic A Pink - Une Anee f(x) - Electric Shock Miss A - Touch Girls Day - Everyday 2 Ga-In - Talk About S Big Bang - Alive 4Minute - Volume Up
Honorable mentions to BoA, Ailee, BEG, T-ara, After School & TVXQ for their fair share of good songs, simply doesn't make the cut because of some rather boring or awful ones though.
And if I were to pick best song overall right now I'd probably say Don't Forget Me by Girls Day, not quite sure though.
I only started listening to kpop around July so I might be forgetting some of the stuff that came before.
As for albums my top three would be Une Anee - Apink, Alive - Big Bang, and Supersonic - Younha.
Making a top three for songs is a lot harder, so here are a few of my favorites in no particular order:
Ailee - I Will Show You KWill - Please Don't Girl's Day - Don't Forget Me Hush & Bubibu - Apink Loving U - Sistar T-ara - Sexy Love NS Yoonji - If You Love Me
Overall its been a good year, looking forward to 2013!
Nicole will host the Golden Disc Awards in Malaysia!
She will MC with Sistar's Dasom, CN Blue's Yonghwa, and FT Island's Hongki!
And here's some updated on the Mystic White and Dazzling red teams for Gayo Deajeun Nicole looked amazing during the dance practice in her sweater with her beautiful long hair down along her face. Ah, so pretty.
Now for something different here is a random throwback Nicole clip. This 8 seconds videoclip is one of my personal favorite. I cherish it a lot. In it Nicole can be seen looking very lovely, smiling a lot both normally and with her eyes. Her smiles, movements and the tone of her voices are extremely seducing as they have that cute seductive mix of tiredness and "interest" in them. I suspect maybe she might have liked that particular cameraman as I have rarely seen her appear that seductive.
I can honestly replay that clip for hours and I never get tired of it. But it makes me wonder though,, why is she being so seductive in it...
And here's the Nicole "picture of the day". I've been using that picture as a signature on another forum and every time I look at it it captivates me for a couple of minutes and I find myself gazing into her eyes.
I really like the look she portrays there. The naked shoulders/neck with her beautiful blonde hair is really attractive and the lonely/introspective look on her face really combines well with the atmosphere of the picture. I just imagine myself reaching in with my hand, moving it under her hair to caress the side of her hair and let her know that she's loved. Nicole's facial structure, particularly the round shape of the bottom of her face, starting from her ears to her chin is a really appealing factor to me and this pictures brings that out. I just want to caress the side of her cheek and face while looking in her eyes and letting my hand brush against her soft and luscious hair.
I'm thinking of having that picture framed once I receive my physical copy of the album. It really brings out strong emotions out of me and I also like the colors, the atmosphere and the artistry of the picture. I think it would be perfect on my desk, a beautiful way to look away from my monitor and relax.
