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.
Agreed, saw ladies code again today at inkigayo and they sure are smoking HOT! They have steadily been building fans and today lots of people showed for them. The blonde girl has a great voice as well, heard her sing a capella at a simply kpop recording and was so surprised. Ladies code is one to watch for.
do you have to pay to go to inkigayo?
No you don't. But if you aren't with a fanclub you have to apply online for random tickets otherwise you need to get in with a fanclub. I went to it twice and it was probably my favorite show due to the proximity you can be to the stage especially if you are one of the lucky people who get the spots directly beside the stage.
Fanclubs as in official ones or just with a bunch of friends who like the same group(s)? I know there are both fangirls and guys but from your experience was the, I guess gender split, half and half at music shows? Also is it common to see foreigners?
Yeah the official ones. Also for the most part there are many more girls then males at the shows. Each fan club has its own way getting a spot to see the show. Some require you to register online before hand others require proof of fandom like a hardcopy of cd or something. I have queued for just Girl's day and F(x), girls day never required anything from me just for me to show up. F(x) required a most recent cd. All the other times i went to shows i had tickets so I didn't even have to wait very long to get in. Oh and for foreigners I saw some foreign girls but I was always the only foreign male there.
Edit: "Sone White Knight Special Defense Force" need to remember that one ^^

So come off your high horse. Of all the posters in this thread, you have no business acting above anything. Same goes for Craton, 'sone is a pejorative' please, it wasn't a sone who started arguing here.
I just find it how easy it is for someone to bait you guys; and then the thread devolves so fucking quickly. Pretty much a fuck ton of snide comments pass by in this thread, but the second it involves SNSD. Sone White Knight Special Defense Force is deployed in full force.
I don't understand you. How is the response to the 'T-ara subunit is boring' comment not being a 'T-ara white knight special defense force' ? You're criticizing people for doing something but not criticizing others for doing the exact same thing, but only they aren't SNSD fans. Seriously, just think about it for a second.
You see, the response from Sones when someone makes a stupid comment about them is 'SNSD is great and here's why'. However the response from non-Sones when someone makes a stupid comment about their fav is 'SNSD SUCKS LOLOL HYORC'
You can't say one is stupid without saying the other is stupid. Stop being a hypocrite, not just you, but this whole thread. Reminder this started with T-ara, not SNSD.
Im pretty sure he is saying that a lot of snide stuff is said about other groups and sometimes it causes a shitstorm. But nearly 100% of the time anything about SNSD comes up the "SWKSDF" comes out in full force.

^this guys passes reading comprehension tests.
On other note; when is next Afterschool promotion?
I do wish to see the number of snide comments about other groups vs SNSD. I also want to see the number of people who care about other groups vs SNSD. These numbers just might show why people defend SNSD more often than others.
It is pretty fucking obvious that there are some individuals in this thread that have to bring up SNSD when talking about shit. Harmless chat about another group? Let's talk about how much I hated IGAB xD.
People who defend SNSD are whiteknighting. People who defend other groups are not. When a sone criticizes other groups, a comparison to SNSD has to be made to defend said groups. This is not whiteknighting. When we reply to such a comment, we're whiteknighting. Yeeaaaaaah.
We'll just ignore the fact that everybody is like "xD look at these nubs, we can bait them so ez". We'll just leave it at this. What has your group accomplished? What has SNSD accomplished? Yeah. Guess we're done.

I'll take "Hypocrisy is fine because they're popular" for 500 Alex.
The answer is: "It's not attacking the group it's just a (subjectively) valid criticism that I would never level against any other group. By the way, did I mention how much I hate IGAB and how much SNSD has gone downhill over the years? Because they have."
do do do doodoo do do do
BEEP
"What is an annoying and shitty way to bait le Sones because SNSD is popular?"
Good job, we also would have accepted "I like this indie music dae hate boring stuff like IGAB?" or "I think all the SNSD members have gone downhill and are ugly unlike my perfect Hyosung, did I mention how much I love her tits?"
Man ness HAM was the first kpop group that I ever heard. I know weird right? I fell in love with sujin and all their songs. They were the first group I memorized all the members for and everything. I would just loop them and girl's day when I first started listening to Kpop. I also really like BBde Girl's song and had no idea sujin was in that group. Please do more. I loved it.
I liked the effort you put into it and it was well-written for what it is. Were you writing this for somewhere other than here? If you are that's fine, but if your sole audience is KMD I feel like profiles and history writeups are unnecessary because half the people here know the history and the other half don't really care. If it's for this thread and you want to practice writing/write or whatever I think that the community would be better served content-wise with something like music reviews/something subjective instead of something that people could have (no offense intended) looked up if they wanted to.

That's really interesting actually, thanks for the reply! I did always wonder how music shows like Inkigayo worked.
Anyways, I only know of HAM since of ForGG listening to T.T Dance all of the time lol. Dystopia does make a good point that anyone could have found the same information. Although having it all in one post is convenient for people who just like to read histories on groups/singers instead of having to scavenge for them.
Considering that HAM hasn't released a single since early 2011, I don't think it was as pointless of a post as most people are saying (not everyone has been a kpop fan for over 2 years). As for me, I had heard "So Sexy" on numerous occasions, but never taken the time to figure out who it was made by. In any case, I find it to be a nice change from what the majority of posts have been like the past few pages.
I'm not interested in hearing anyone's critique of my playlists, but here is my grooveshark with some K-Pop and, for my fellow Aileeans, some of her English stuff. Enjoy http://grooveshark.com/user/Joe/18980089
