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)

I'm finding myself with a negative level of hype. Wings didn't pass through the audition, yet three Labum make it in. A group that, on paper, is literally more successful than aoa and gfriend, has three members in a show revolving around second chances.
Like...we didn't see Michael Jordan return to basketball as a benchwarmer. What kind of crap is this? - "what, are you saying Laboum is more successful than Gfriend?" If I recall gfriend top 1st week physical sales is a few hundred short of Labum's record. If physical sales doesn't prove you're popular and successful, I don't know what does!
what, are you saying Laboum is more successful than Gfriend? Or is it another case of "I have no fucking idea what nanashin is saying"? Actually the latter works in both case
Wasnt Laboum the group with the super obvious sajaegi? As in the company bought their own albums which made them sky rocket on the chart even beating people like IU?
Gfriend is really well known, they had only big hits last year with me gustas tu, rough & navirella I think rough had the most digital sales in 2016? they have three album with more than 50k sales (physical)
and then you're saying laboum is more successful because of their extremely shady 30k sales (they never sold more than 3k before that) when they never charted in the top 100 on gaon. hmm
So I'll be in Korea for two weeks, and I've found that it helps if you are atleast somewhat familiar with the songs being blasted from storefronts and in establishments.
So with that in mind, I'd love a tldr on what I should expect to hear.

Thanks in advance!
Lim Chang Jung is coming back next week and he's insanely popular there so you can probably expect that song to be overplayed.
Otherwise look up some Twice and BTS songs and that's pretty much it.

Someone really needs to do something about the APink bomb threatener, Interpol sure as shit isn't the entity capable of doing it.
They're not more successful "on paper" is the whole point.
Fucking company so dumb. Release a great song and then absolutely nothing after it. No shit you won't gain any traction. I just don't understand how these CEOs are thinking... Because it keeps happening over and over again. Kiss&Cry etc WTF?
I'm just trying to figure out who they are targeting with that song. By calling their male audience trash and dressing like that I doubt they are attracting the female audience.

Okay, guess I have a reason to watch The Unit now. Didn't notice that Spica's Jiwon was participating. Evidently since Spica's dissolution she was a vegetable juice delivery person...she could definitely use a break.
