took her a lot of work to get to that power level.

Man, this triggers me so hard.
People bitched at Park Myung Soo for making IU do an EDM song
This is literally all PMS does and people eat up every song he does.

IU EDM track drops and everyone eats it up.

Where were all those people when she debuted?
Where would IU have been were it not for Marshmallow?
Her career would have been dead on its feet were it not for a CEO deciding maybe they should try making her marketable.
People acting like she's one of the greatest artists Korea has to offer is ridiculous. She's not doing music because; it allows her to express her soul, she feels like she has something to tell today's/future generation(s), hell probably not even 'it makes her happy'.

People went ass over head ridiculous because that one f(x) decided to end her career.
>not even the most important member
>not even a melody inclined group

Can't even imagine what kind of shitfest will break out when IU gets married, I can only hope it's not Jang Ki Ha.
General public probably has forgotten that she's stated that she'd give up her music career as soon as she finds someone to marry. At that point she was already at a level where nearly every producer, composer, lyricist would sacrifice a limb just for her name to be attached to their work. Yet she'd gladly toss that away for an easier life. Damned if it won't be the guy in her life that will catch the backlash.
But maybe Jang Ki Ha will be lucky, she did say she didn't believe in dating, maybe she won't believe it's okay to burn bridges and mooch of her husband.
Dude fucking nailed a spot in the top 20 slot in charts for almost a year with

Without any overzealous pan armies frothing from the mouth over how good the food in his company's cafeteria is, how long and pretty his longs are, how pretty he is and how he should be in every drama and CF, to help him.
And hell would have to open up for this cover of his:

to ever stop being on the mic spam key of television producers.
He didn't work his way to being the prince of Korean indie just to have his footnote be "Ruined IU's career."

Okay, maybe not that much change, but it's a move in a nice direction.
As you may know, there's some substantial comebacks this quarter, by substantial I mean by the size of the fandoms involved, quality of comeback need not apply.
Currently OhMyGirl is receiving a fair amount of support on MBC Music's Show Champion.
And by fair, I mean last week's voting period they got about .1% of the total votes. This voting cycle, they randomly jumped from an immeasurable % to 3% of the total vote yesterday allowing them to tie with Lovelyz. As today progressed, they gained another .2% of the total votes.
Currently, they are putting pressure on Super Junior, of all people.
Clearly this is something you should help with!

Assuming you haven't already an account with the premium flavors of MBC. Click the indicated link in the red box to register.

THERE BE ENGLISH SUPPORT!
If you're too lazy to read, click the button indicated in red. Unless you're in Korea for srs business and have access to an i-pin, but who the fuck ever has that?

Alright, so there's only a bit of English support.
This is a terms of agreement page as you can probably tell, except this time it's all in hangul.
Well, you probably don't read this shit even when they're in English, and by default the agreement option is selected.
Click the black button to continue.

Since you're registering for a site, an email is indeed required.
This page will be verifying that you have access to a valid email.
First box accepts an email address. Clicking the button below said box will have MBC send said email address an email with an authentication code. May need to check your spam folder. The email will have hangul everywhere, but you can probably assess what constitutes the authentication code.
Second box accepts the authentication code. Insert the authentication code as you will, then click the button beneath the entry box.

English support returns! Fill out the form as you would any registration form.
Good news, despite this being a Korea website, it does not demand a scan of your passport in order for Korea's Internet Police to have you on file incase you anti-pan your ass off and cause a Korean management firm to come after you.

After you register return to the voting page:
http://www.mbcplus.com/program/champion/vote.html
And start voting.
Now, this is a rallying cry for OhMyGirl, which will help since they've already been given momentum.
But you do have free will.
You are free to vote for some Soshi shit, BTOB, or Suju.
Or Lovelyz
Or really anyone in the available listing.
But wouldn't it be nice to help a girl group that has debuted this year to get some nice placement for their sophomore release?
You have three votes to your name, each day.
But it's in your best interest to all in on one thing, because everyone else likely is doing just that.

In the end game, this literally means jack shit anyway.
The melon/bugs/Mnet/Soribada/Genie/etc music streaming footprint is what truly matters, alongside the physical sales, and the SNS and such.
But, getting OhMyGirls into at least third place in the online voting portion is a neat thing to help accomplish.
Especially since the ELFs are asleep at the wheel for once or they're all-inning behind soshi because HURRR WE LUB SM BECAUSE OUR OPPARS WANT US TO.
No way to slay a dreaded giant or tackle an active fangirl army.
But third place is indeed obtainable for little ol' Oh My Girl.
