Pann: BTS's official website is going too far

image




An article featured on the official website of Big Hit:

BTS, -The Most Beautiful Moment in Life pt.2- early sales almost exceed 90K! New rising group that threatens EXO!
BTS, -The Most Beautiful Moment in Life pt.2- charted #1 on Hanteo chart! Will it break the formula of 'SM-YG'?!

(Article continues to compare their sales to EXO, SHINee, SM, and YG)

=


1. [+235, -9] Their early sales are not the issue. The problem is that they mentioned other singers on the official website ㅋㅋㅋ Exceeding EXO, my butt ㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+228, -7] They're really thoughtless with the official webpage ㅋㅋ Do they not know about EXO's early sales and total sales?

3. [+157, -14] It's because they had 2 versions of the album, 8 posters, and 4 fansigns during the early sales

4. [+72, -3] It's so funny how they mentioned it as 90K when their actual sales are 81K ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I saw an EXO fan saying, "my height is 155cm but it should be called 2m" ㅋㅋ

5. [+68, -1] What's wrong with the company?

image




6. [+63, -1] Doesn't matter how big their early sales are. The fact that they're mentioning EXO on their official website is the problem here.

Is Wonder Girls now fully a band?

I've heard some Wonderfuls say that the band thing is only a concept. However, I watched Weekly Idol's Random Play Dance and Yubin or Yenny said they're a band now or something. So, are they fully a band or still a dance group?

Where is SISTAR?

The last saw of them was at Dream Festival, and I haven't seen them at ANY year end award shows. MMA? Nope (except to accept their award). MAMA? Nope. Now Gayo Daejun Festivals? Nope.

Like tbh they had the biggest hit in the summer with Shake it, and pretty much took over during the girl group rush this summer. Their comeback was successful again this year. They haven't had any scandals either. Other than them working with Starship fam on the christmas single I haven't heard much for them. Do you guys know what they are doing? Why are they not attending year end award shows? I want to see my girls T.T

I'm looking forward to the live, they have wonderful stage presence, and they didn't really display the choreography in the MV, so hopefully there is something fun in store during the live perfs.

Your thoughts?

What do you think about SM solo so far?

$

I think their solo so far is mediocre. The impact is not that impressive. It's not that their album not sold well or they have bad vocal because imo...Taemin, Jonghyun and Kyuhyun are known for their vocals right? But I still think their achievement still not on the same level as the other label solo act like GD, Hyuna and Taeyang. What do you think?

Netizens are shocked by photo revealing Red Velvet Wendy’s true height

$

Netizens have been going wild over a photo showing Red Velvet Wendy’s true height.

Although always known to be a petite girl group, Red Velvet’s height averages to about 160cm. For the young girls, this figure seems to be an appropriate average.

However, a photo that has been circulating on internet forums shows Wendy’s height relative to various elements. In one aspect, the length of her jacket draws a lot of attention. While it appears to fit her shoulders and upper body well, the bottom is a mere inches away from the ground. The optical illusion makes her appear even smaller than she is, a reported 160cm.

Secondly, the figure next to her seems to tower over her height. Although his face is blurred out in motion and he stands a few steps away from her, the height difference created here also is enough to make netizens stare.

Take a look at the image here:

2NE1's 'I Am The Best' Invades The Grammy Awards Thanks To Microsoft Commercial

$

2NE1 is not present at the Grammy Awards, but perhaps hearing their music on television will suffice this year.
During the CBS broadcast of the 2015 Grammy Awards, a commercial aired for Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 featuring 2NE1's "I Am the Best," catching many K-pop fans by surprise.

"2NE1's 'I Am the Best' being heard during the biggest music awards show is brilliant," tweeted Schitstainz on Twitter. "Each winner is deserving because they are the best."
Currently, Microsoft's commercial has been broadcasting online and on television, and many observers have caught on to 2NE1's 2011 smash hit despite not knowing Korean or K-pop in general.
"I can't be the only one who loves the music in that Microsoft commercial," tweeted Tom Wassell on Oct. 26.
Last fall, Billboard reported that radio stations in New York and Boston have begun playing "I Am the Best" as the track continues to receive global attention due to the commercial. In the week ending Oct. 19, the anthemic 2NE1 single was reportedly played 24 times on WBMP New York and 14 times on WODS Boston.
This could be a nice introduction to the group as 2NE1's lead rapper Lee "CL" Chaerin prepares for her solo American debut.
According to Koreaboo, CL has been in the States since Jan. 13 and will remain here until early February. Reportedly, her record label YG Entertainment has set up a headquarters in the country in order to facilitate the process.
The female rapper is rumored to be working with Sean Garrett, Diplo, Skrillex, Florence and the Machine, among others. Her debut will be overseen by talent manager Scooter Braun, known for working with Psy, Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande.
Recently, CL also confirmed her appearance on the Black Eyed Peas' 20th anniversary album.

Those attending does not necessarily mean that they have actually won an award.
They could just be there for a special stage, comeback and/or a red carpet performance, so try not to jump to any conclusions just yet.
Also, those that will not be attending, but are nominated, still have a chance of winning an award, so this isn't one of your typical no show, no award programs (at least, I don't think it is).

The genre doesn't matter though I'm not so fond of heavy metal if I really had to pick. I'm getting back into writing again and need to boost my creative wave. I'm mainly writing about relationships/friendships but that doesn't mean that they all have to be love songs, not at all. It's just the main concept. Basically anything goes.
