This was published on my Tumblr feed and literally made me LOL.

EXO -- when they were kids (literally) starting out:

tumblr_n6ch2wSvlX1ql3bxeo2_250.gif

Happy dancing. Chanyeol slaps D.O.'s ass.

D.O.: The !@#$%^&*], man?

Quickly back to happy dancing.

Chanyeol smacks D.O.'s ass again.

D.O.: I'M GONNA FUCKIN KILL YOU.

OMG at Twinkletoes dancing over to break things up.

Thanks for that link!

I am really excited for Monday and the release of Rise. In fact, with work being so depressing at the moment, it is literally the only thing I am looking forward to on Monday. I really hope the teaser wasn't lying and that the Tears for Fears sample features in it because I love that song.

Great live performance by Taeyang in Japan.

ETA: ugh, hate posting from my phone!

Your post ^^ made me look back at my previous post about Chanyeol smacking D.O.'s ass, and I now realize (judging by Chen's T-shirt as he runs over at the end) that the tumblr gifs was not from EXO's early days but rather last week's Seoul concert! Which puts Chanyeol's comment about D.O. being the most handsome (in your post) in the context of "Sorry for hitting your ass. In public. While you were singing and dancing." LOL! Grovel, Chanyeol!

Man, I forget how incredibly young these kids are, and then you see shots like this and realize they are only babies still! D.O. and Luhan still look about 15. And your clips of Suho watching himself from two years ago -- agewise, I can't tell the difference between Suho then and now, apart from the hair which makes him look very angelic.

"hello I am exo's guardian angel, leader suho!" laugh.pngembarrassment level: 100% laugh.pnglaugh.png Also saw Lay referred to as "healing angel Lay." WTF. I mean, I like Lay and all but perhaps they need to retire this 'exo superpowers' concept.

It is hot. Look at that pout/snarl!

So, did I get the wrong day? I have been looking for the release of Rise but maybe it is just available as a download only. If anyone has an idea of where I can find it, let me know. smile.png

I got it wrong. The crying was actually from last year. I looked it up. Man that was rough. I cant beleive no one stepped in to save him by taking the mic and speaking! Poor Suho. Apparently he also cried on the red carpet and there's clips of Tao and Kai also crying. These boys are emotional...lol

As far as looks go, I think Chanyeol and Sehun have changed the most. Sehun has gone through a late growth spurt and looks noticeably older than the Mama days

I looked last night and it wasnt up, nor was it up this morning. It BETTER not be delayed again. I think I read this morning that it might actually be 6/3/14 so we will have to wait just a little bit longer

btw, GREAT interview here:

I guess we assume that people in Asian have an iron grip on their emotions. But they just express them in different ways and contexts. And Koreans do show sadness and happiness more readily than, say, the Japanese. In EXO's case, at moments of high tension, they really let lose. Suho and Tao have all sobbed in public, and when Kris left, Suho and Tao were also the ones who went on Twitter or Instagram to express their feelings of sadness or betrayal (now, whether SM Entertainment pushed them to do that, I don't know, but it does illustrate who the two most emotional members are!).

The crying jags may also be because SM work those poor kids to the bone and have done since their pre-debut days. Have you seen Luhan's legs and arms?! He looks like an Olympic gymnast. They train them constantly and as a result there often seem to be a lot of dance-related injuries. Many EXO members have sad eyes at times. It's no coincidence that Kris left -- he realized that Korean idol life -- and the price to pay for it -- was too high.

Yeah, definitely. Remember my crazy Tao-Sehun post?! It was more or less in chronological order. The change in Sehun's baby face and height from early 2013 to the most recent shot of Tao hugging Sehun from behind (which was 2014, I think) is very noticeable. And I remember Chanyeol with his little face and ears in the early vids, lol. Now he looks so tall.

The first thing I did this morning was turn on my phone and look to see if it had been released. The Rise poster you posted said it would by 6/2/2014 but maybe it's just on i-tunes or something. "Offline release" on 6/10/2014, sigh.

That really was an excellent interview (on a good website, too). I wonder if it was conducted in English? Taeyang was really honest about saying what he liked and didn't like in terms of his music, and even about difficulties within Big Bang. I hope Rise is a big hit for him. I would LOVE it if he released a mixtape of his all favorite stuff! For free!

    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.  
    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
    • Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.
