Great work!! O.O
Paparazzi MV
They look good even when they're dancing in dish washing gloves! >.<
All My Love Is For You MV
Been waiting for this kind of song for the longest time...
Oh! is now released in Japan, and Taeyeon has a new single (drama OST) for To The Beautiful You.
Oh! Japanese Ver.
Seohyun is too cute here! *buing buing* >.<
Closer on Inki
Omo Taeyeon y.u.so.pretty. :P
Nice song :) Also been waiting for a long time for a new OST single from her...
To The Beautiful You has ended as of this week... haha. It features a lot well known idols, like Minho from ShiNee and Sulli from f(x). Sulli sang Peach during the drama! Shall try to watch it some time, or at least that part. Peach was written with Sulli in mind after all~~ keke.
Taeyeon also made a reappearance on Running Man!
Ep 112!
Watch the full ep on kshownow.net!
It was kind of funny watching her run. Its like pretty well known that she has the worse stamina, even among all the gg members, and she's actually participating in Running Man. lol dorky tae.
Side tracking slightly, Gary very nearly left Running Man!!! Omg! Haha I like Gary's character a lot. More so than Guang Soo, or Big Nose Hyung, or even the Commander. The Commander's really poor thing in this episode though. You'll see...
SNSD's having a Japanese comeback with "Flower Power" mid Nov! (14th Nov) last I heard. Looking forward to that.
IU hasn't been laying low either.
She's had a really successful run doing her first concert tour 'Real Fantasy' across S.Korea. It was so successful LOEN planned an encore concert! :)
Photo time! :D
This well... lasted... all the way till now. lol.
While IU and SNSD's been doing well, T-ara hasn't.
While both SNSD and T-ara celebrated their 5th and 3rd anniversary respectively, the atmosphere in both camps were a vivid contrast to each other. SNSD's was a picture of joy and appreciation, while T-ara plunged into a controversy of bullying and backstabbing.
In their official statement, CCM claimed Hwayoung misbehaved really badly (refused to perform due to injury and throwing tantrums), so much so that they kicked, yes KICKED her out of T-ara. Fans (or Antis, depending on who you believe) drew a different picture though. They claim Hwayoung has been thoroughly bullied by the other members, and so the one at fault should not be Hwayoung, and instead the other T-ara members. The "evidence" dug out severely damaged T-ara's rep, and many of the remaining members suffered as a result. They were pulled from CFs, dropped from dramas, lost some 6000 fans, and even had to postpone their concert due to people returning their tickets. The humiliation.
Later accounts however, seem to indicate that it was a severe mismanagement on the part of CCM's CEO Kim Kwang Soo. There existed a disagreement between the girls, but the intention had always been for resolution, and not expulsion. Along with news regarding how KKS his idols in check, or do horrible things such as wardrobe malfunctions by blackmail (such as keeping career ruining footage like Jiyeon's stripping vid and "accidently" leaking it to the public), KKS' actions after the revelation only made the controversy worse. A group was even established to find out the truth of the matter.
Its no wonder Davichi is leaving the first chance they have huh.
Summary of events here.
Both sides have since moved on though. Hwayoung has apologised for the distress she caused to fans and members, and has started on doing more rapping and music writing. T-ara, now a 8 member group (+Dani, Aerum, -Hwayoung) has produced 2 MVs, Day By Day and Sexy Love.
Day by Day MV
Featuring the 2 new girls... I didn't reaaaaallly like it :\
The drama thing didn't work for them this time.
Sexy Love comeback stage
The song sounded lame at first, but it sort of grows on you after awhile :)
Not a bad comeback afterall lol.
The controversy was so bad the members had to go into hiding at the time... Sexy Love's music programme performances were all filmed before hand, and even a written apology by the members couldn't appease the netizens. Poor Eunjung had an accident during this time, and some netizens had the nerve to speculate that it was staged -.-...
Though it wasn't doing so well at first, Sexy Love is rising on the charts, so hopefully T-ara would make a full recovery soon.
On my own end... my second year in Uni has started. I finally went to USS, and even won tickets to go there again. :) School's really tough, even though I thought this sem would be lighter already what with the softskill mod >.< But am grouped with Zhen Zhen, Farhan and Kathy, so I'm pretty happy, especially compared to last sem :\ Haha and I joined a kpop dance class to try things out :)
For now, though, think I'll end it here and type more in another post, another time... its getting late, and there is quite a bit to talk about after all. I am planning to starting to writing again, so cya all soon.
