No info, I think she's busy making more advertisements, cause that's far more profitable. They usually announce they're making something like a month or two before, then a teaser like the week before, 2 if lucky, then the MV is out.

Does that phrase even exist in the Korean lexicon?

This dress should not exist!

You bet your ass you've been ninjaed.

Also, damnit CCM. Did you really have to stick backup dancers right behind 5dolls during their leaning shimmy? Manner plz. It's so hot that Hye Won can do that low rap voice, if only she could project it over MR track.

HyunA can't really sing... = ( But still cute!

I'll miss her jailbaitness.

Waiting for her to turn 18, next year though.

More post-93ers needed in KPop. 1989 be mocking me.

Ya but then when they (the females at least) hit a certain age (not quite sure when, it's like late 30s) they warp through time and look like their 60 suddenly.

Also, it's taboo back in Asia. *sigh* Even if I network hard, I can't win the game ):

I'm afraid of becoming old. Not quite sure what happens to Asian males. It's too varied.

^Boxer's dating an older woman lol...what a pimp. My parents are native-born Chinese and they have friends back in China who are married where the woman is older lol...idk about Korea though.

Asian males either age incredibly well and look progressively better as they get older or they let their health go to pot and they look hideous.

Also, you probably won't remember any of these idols by the time they're in their late 30s so that's really nothing to worry about...wonder what will happen to the 1st gen idols when they hit that age...they're getting up there lol.

For the guys aging, they are usually very well preserved for the most part. Comparing my older Asian relatives to my White ones, the asians look a good 10-15 years younger at least, never seem to have as many body problems, as many wrinkles, and greying hair. But for all I know my relative might just be dyeing it. Also, If any person lets their health go to shit then it don't matter what ethnicity they are, they will look bad.

I am personally fine with all of the '89 idols, what can I say I have a thing for older women. Yeeeeh Narsha baby. I joke I joke somewhat.

As far as aging Idols go, they will definitely have to bow out at some point and limit their activities; can't be doing upbeat pop songs anymore. Hopefully, they will decide to go out gracefully, I would hate to see some of them trainwreck.

Narsha's like 30, not 20 lol... and Kahi's still doing it...wonder what will happen a few years down the line, not like After School's that old but she debuted at a pretty old age...

I could see some of them maintaining popularity after their groups disband (SNSD is big enough that several of them should have successful solo careers), etc. I think that most of the more famous idols stay around in some fashion in variety shows or whatnot (Lee Jin in Heroes, Hyori is still big of course, Tony An still does a lot of stuff, as does Kim Tae Woo) and I don't see why that shouldn't hold true for this generation as well. In fact it may be more pervasive cause there are so fucking many idols lol.

edit- I also meant that if Asian males don't take care of their health they look worse than other races do as they age...I look at some of my relatives who drink and smoke compared to white men of the same age and the white dudes don't look nearly as bad.

Ice Princess's aegyo is OP

1989... I need to time travel.

Hopefully Taeyeon continues to solo; Jessica and Tiffany too. Yoona will probably keep acting.
I'm not too into the older idols. Mainly because I'm too new to the scene to know them.

I'm kinda curious as too what would happen to the groups where some members are old in comparison to others. Like Kahi is almost 10 years older than E-Young; After School's members vary all across mid80s to early90s birthyears. Suzy is much younger than the other members, so what's she going to do when the others retire?
