One Korean song from 2015 for the rest of your life, which would it be?

Mine:

Honestly Jinsil's voice makes every song 10x better but this song is so timeless from the rap to the goosebumps you get from the chorus. Complete masterpiece.

do you have any good videos of your favs reacting

this surprise "gift" for mcz at their 2013 Christmas concert is one of my favs.

Here are a few notes to help set the scene.
The group's first national tour consisted of playing in different branches of an electronic store chain and sleeping in a mini van at night.
No girl group had ever received this honor
They had publicly named it as a goal

the first 4:10 is the good reaction

Nugu Wednesday!! [Part 2]

$

0

Alright, it's week 2 to donate love for our favorite nugus! Since nugus hardly get love, this will be a forum to dedicate to them. Maybe next week, we'll have a certain themes they've done. If you have any possible theme ideas for next week, please feel free to comment it in this discussion or directly message me.
Here's what classifies a nugu:
-small company
-not popular/no commercial success
-usually rookies (because they don't last long enough to be veterans)
-average age is generally older, except in some cases
-underrated
-have not and probably will not win on a music show.

Here's Urban Dictionary's definition
"Meaning who in Korean it is a way to call someone a nobody. Can also be used for multiple people."

This week I'm starting off with ATT. I like the jazz feel of this song, but shocked to when I found out they're only 16-20 years old. Even though I've seen these sets before, they've done some nice effects to make them stand out. I hope they stick around, but it's not an industry made for nugus. image

So Allkpop did their own list but a few people didn't quite agree because they missed a few very notable ones.

Mine include:
Red Velvet Dumb Dumb- Slap bracelets: Smoothly done and totally awesome, they even sell the member versions now too.
image

After School- Bang drum line, Tap Dance, Rip Off cane dance and First Love pole dance. After School are the queens of dance props and doing different dance features for almost every comeback. I can't wait to see what they do next time (A comeback soon would be awesome Pledis)

Fiestar You're pitiful: Chair dance

Girl's Day Expectation: Suspenders dance: This is one of my personal favourites because it is so fun.

1. [+693, -103] As expected of EXO, Big Bang, and SNSD!!! They lived up to the prestige of their names

2. [+509, -69] Wow, as expected of the three!!! Daebak

3. [+423, -55] Amazing of all three groups. I hope they keep it strong in the future.

4. [+333, -41] Wishing even more luck to the three!!

5. [+413, -95] Korea's top 3 idol groups got their names up there

6. [+75, -3] The three teams need no more words. Big Bang and Soshi have maintained their positions at the top for 10 years with each album receiving attention from the public while EXO has been showing immense strength and fandom power. iTunes and even YouTube have spotlighted them as the top 3 K-Pop powers~~

7. [+88, -8] Reminds me of what Cao Lu said on 'Radio Star' yesterday. That hateful comments are still interest and that celebrities who get hurt by them don't know how good they have it. Big Bang, EXO, and Soshi get the most hate on Naver so it proves that they're that much of top stars ㅋ so much interest in them

8. [+85, -7] How many years have Soshi and Big Bang maintained their top positions ㅋㅋㅋ EXO's daebak too, their special album already sold 270,000 copies in its first week ㅋㅋㅋ

Thanks for everyone saying that these are interesting and you want more! I've taken some of your suggestions, let's take a look.

EXID's LE- I don't find her attractive, but she has so much talent.

Gfriend's Umji- May be the most boring maknae ever, IMO. Don't find her fat but also don't find her pretty.

JYP (no band)- I really don't wanna answer this, but this guy's actions make me feel like he's a secret perv. The bands he chooses to debut aren't terrible.

Apink's Eunji- During LUV era to now, I feel like she got less attractive since her cheeks got a lot skinnier. I don't think she has gotten prettier, but her talent sure is growing.

APINK's Na Eun- My opinion only, I feel like her beauty is overrated. Her personality seems a little off, especially on APINK showtime. I think her acting is no good, Chorong's is much more natural.

SHINee's Jonghyun- Don't follow SHINEE but extremely hot.

SHINEE's Onew- Cute, talent, and Onew belong in the same sentence.

Seventeen's Vernon- honestly a hottie with a nice body and a good personality. idk about his rapping...

SEVENTEEN's Hoshi- He is one cute marshmallow. LOVE HIM.

SEVENTEEN's Mingyu- Three words: Bias Ruiner, hottie

F(x)'s Amber- not too fond of her, not sure why. I liek her personality though.

soloist Ailee- QUEEN (did i do her yet?)

Sistar's Bora- LOVE. her rapping is eh tho but i like her persinality.

I feel like I'm getting meaner. LOL. More suggestions for any one of my series' "Opinions on the following groups", or "WHat are your thoughts on these particular members of groups..."
I mean it!!!!!

LY guys
Add me
Okay bye :)
PS LEAVE SUGGESTIONS GODDAMN IT

This incredibly talented girl has set distinct characters in the kpop world 2015!

ARTICLE: http://m.media.daum.net/m/entertain/newsview/20151216082533701

Official Statement:

"The Big Bang members feel very sorry towards the fans as they are not able to attend the end of the year music award ceremonies. But they are keeping their promise to fans and have chosen to make a great effort in composing their 'MADE' full album. In order to gift the fans with a perfected album even a day earlier, they are focusing completely on composing night and day even through the holidays."

Big Bang to skip out of all three year-end ceremonies this year

Article: [Exclusive] Big Bang won't be attending all 3 year-end award ceremonies "Focusing on album production"
http://news.nate.com/view/20151216n05963?mid=n1008

Source: OSEN via Nate

1. [+217, -37] It's obviously an excuse for a group to say they're focusing on "album production" at a time like the year-end when it's focused on award ceremonies. They either just wanted special treatment and didn't get it or they're trying to make themselves seem special and unique by skipping it...

2. [+116, -19] They went all the way to Hong Kong to take everything at the MAMA but they have "no time" to attend any of the ceremonies in Korea ㅋㅋㅋ Do they take us for fools? ㅋㅋ Good, at least us viewers will get to see other agencies and rookies get to perform for once

3. [+114, -34] Well 2NE1 can't even get on public broadcast anymore and Taeyang screwed it up for them with his award speech last time, so...

4. [+28, -6] Because they know they won't be given all the awards like at the MAMA

5. [+23, -7] Yay, rookies will get to sing 3 more songs now~

6. [+21, -3] Why aren't they going to congratulate the other singers receiving their awards? They should stay in their seats until the end ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+20, -2] YG acts like they're so damn special all the time ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+14, -4] They think they're too good for this now or what?

9. [+11, -2] Let's be honest, if they were some nugu group, they would be attending all of it ㅋㅋㅋ they think they're too good for this now ㅋㅋㅋ or maybe they actually feel embarrassed about the backlash Taeyang received about his award speech last time ㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+9, -0] Probably skipping out because they can't make it a druggie party like they did with MAMA

1. [+492, -48] Well I have nothing to say since they claim to be working on their next album.. but I do miss Big Bang.. I at least thought they'd attend the SBS Gayo Daejun..

2. [+399, -44] Can't really whine about them skipping out since they're working on their album.. I hope they rest up and finish up their production then. This year could've been their last round of year-end ceremonies before TOP heads off to the army but of course YG screws it up for them... They'll put Big Bang at all the international year-end stages to make money. Whatever, I hope Big Bang rests up and comes back soon with new sons!

3. [+333, -37] Hul, they're not going to be on Gayo Daejun??????? MAMA was the last??? Nooo ㅠ

4. [+219, -31] So sad ㅠ I'll be waiting for their next album then

5. [+75, -6] Sounds more like YG's media play... not like they'll be that behind on production schedule for missing a day to attend a ceremony

6. [+74, -7] I abhor YG... seeing Yang Hyun Suk's face disgusts me to no end. They sign Big Bang up for all the money making schedules on top of added international concerts.

7. [+68, -11] I thought they were confirmed for the SBS line up?? Their picture was even used to promote it so I thought they'd be attending for sure... YG always manages to backstab fans like this when you least expect it.

8. [+38, -4] Honestly, shouldn't they be attending Gayo Daejun?? Not even all three but just SBS... and since they claim to be working on their album, we can't really complain about it either.. so upsetting, it's not like we have that many days to see them on stage together for a while either.
