@Cat. Here's my catchup to your last 2 posts

 

EXO..Lotto has grown on me but I still think its the weaker of the new songs introduced. I much prefer Bring Me Down

Should have promoted this. Even She's Dreaming would have been better

 

 

 

 

Red Velvet I havent listened to the EP but I saw the MV and like the song. Not sure about that hair though. Most of them look awful

 

Mino. I heard his song and like it. Much better than Bobby's single

 

2PM These guys are about to have a comeback. Im shocked bc I thought they were done with most of them about to head off into the army

Never really listened to much 2PM before because they haven't had a comeback since I started listening to kpop last summer, but I decided to check them out more with Gentlemen's Game coming out (and since I've loved what I've heard from Junho & Jun.K).  I've been obsessed with A.D.T.O.Y the last few weeks as a result.  Hadn't planned on buying the album (just the title track) until I heard the album spoiler and now that I've gotten it on iTunes I freaking LOVE IT.  I think Uneasy is my favorite song on the album.  As a result, I just ordered the physical album to support.

I LOVE 2PM. They are my third favorite group. These are grown men whereas alot of the others very much keep the boy in boy band. You may also want to check out No.5, their Korean album from last year

This was so good, especially that title track.

 

Junho and Taecyeon are my favorite and Junho has a very healthy solo career in Japan. He just released his 4th album this summer

 

Jay Park

 

Jay put out a new single last week and its an English track. Love the song but not feeling the video as he could have done more

 

SHINee

Not feeling Minho's blonde hair. I wish he had kept it dark

I cant with these basic chicks. There's like 20 girls in the video and not a single one of them can dance. Like WTF are they doing?

Haha I'm so glad you got a Shinee comeback! I agree about Minho's hair, it makes him look like a grandpa. I also agree about Onew. Despite his leg injury, this feels like 'his' comeback. Kind of like Baekhyun shone during the Monster comeback for EXO, so Onew has been on top of his game for 1 of 1 promotions.

 

I love the song, it sounds just like a 90s bop, but IA with you that Shinee are known for their talented dancers (Taemin, Key, Minho) and they were let down by the 50 bored chicks they bussed in who couldn't shake their moneymaker if their life depended on it!

 

Sad news about Winner's Nam Taehyun. Heard he was struggling with mental issues (sounds like depression) and he has left the dorm to return home for a while and go to therapy. Hence the Winner cb is apparently being shelved for now. :( Hope he gets the help he seeks.

 

I loved Mino's solo single Body though.

Minho's hair is starting to grow on me but only when styled certain ways

WINNER

Man the hell with YG. They used to be the best but he as a CEO has become the worst in the past year. Must be a bad time for CEOs bc CUBE has gone downhill too.

 

Beast

They havent rsigned their cntracts with Cube and it expires this month. http://www.koogle.tv/media/news/b2st...re-this-month/
Im conflicted. Cube has gone downhill in the past year so I think they should say F you and leave them but if they do I think that could mean the end of their careers in Korea. They at least got their Japanese label but thats not as good as their Korean promotions

Eh. I still don't think it is his best look. Mind you, much of Shinee's hair can veer into the tragique.

 

I know what you mean, I wondered if YG jumped on Taehyun's personal problems as an excuse to pretend that a comeback for Winner was being planned but that he had now scuppered those plans. They have really thrown him under a bus. YG is such an incompetent toad. Winner and other groups should be on music shows and variety shows and hustling and showing off their music and likeability. Instead they are locked in a dungeon. It is so cruel to waste young kids' youth like this when all they want to do is perform and get better as performers. SM overwork their idols, but YG can't be bothered to do anything with their's. 

 

CUBE is a mess but I hope we hear news about Beast soon. They are CUBE's most profitable act. How did their last comeback go for them? BTW, I saw Hyunseung on that dance show as a guest dancer a few months' ago. Perhaps he will get some opportunities to participate in these shows and show off his dance talent more.

They are still discussing, and Cube wants to renew Hyunseung's contract, too.

 

But if Beast set up their own Korean label, or get taken under another company's wing, it might not be such a bad thing...?

 

Wishing the absolute best outcome for them... I like them, too, Cheap.

I wish them the best too. I fear for their career bc they are kind of "old" so to speak in terms of K-Pop when you got all these new kids popping up and getting all the spotlight. Cube wasnt huge but they were successful bc of Beast. I dont see a bigger company investing in them and Im not really all too familiar with some of the other smaller companies. Their promotion which hasnt been all that great in the past year may likely take a hit without the money to back them.

 

Oh Minho. They really have him looking tacky out there in this outfit. He looks like he walked off the set of In Living Color

    • Probably less than a NBC or ABC soap. There were occasionally slaps. Women slapped men. And parents occasionally slapped their children. There was a period when Mindy and Roxie would fight. But slaps between women were few and far between. The only one between women I can really recall is Vanessa slapping Nadine. There was once where Bea Reardon almost slapped Vanessa, but she didn't. There are probably more, but in general, I always thought CBS soaps (aside from B&B, which used to love Stephanie slapping Brooke) shied away slapping, sort of the way they limited "hell"s and "damn"s to so many per week.

      My favorite moments are with Erika and then Robin and Tim Stickney around 7/8 minutes. There are also little yellow bumper moments with the crew, which I enjoy more than the real ones.  There's also a music video at the end to I Will Survive, with Linda Dano and JFP having a cameo (they certainly do know how to survive). Also a fun bit with a frazzled crew member showing cards with the names of every EP she presumably worked for at the show.
    • I think in the long run they can probably get more out of Gio, even though I know GM probably won't be around long enough for it to matter. The show has a real problem on how to handle Nik in future, which affected Spencer. Laura is moribund and her role in Spencer's story didn't do her many favors. They would have kept Esme around even longer. A lot of Sprina fans would have hated GM as he was replacing NAC. And even the fans who did accept him wouldn't have mattered because Frank likely would have split that relationship up ASAP. There's a good chance we'd get a Spencer/Emma pairing, only with Emma and the actress playing her getting dragged on social media every day and with people calling her a racist.
    • I like the pool set as well.  It's something different, guys and girls in skimpy clothes and all that.  I dislike when they have characters in full on business attire having meetings there though.  That seems silly. The pool depth is also ridiculous.  They should just have characters sitting on the side with their feet in the pool if they can't shoot it correctly.
    • I also assumed Tanquir was in Africa. Montega was in the Caribbean, more like Cuba.
    • I got the impression Andre was opening up to Dani about his feelings, that's why I thought he was about to admit he was in love with her. Dani has no idea that what's good for her is right in front of her face. Tomorrow we might get a love scene set to an R&B slow jam.
    • No, he was pining for that walking sleeping pill Ashley, and then later texted Dani for a hookup when he felt lonely. He and Dani got into it a bit as she’s not ready to be seen openly with him still, and they both realized they were hung up on other people - Andre on Ashley (thought he never said her name) and especially Dani on Bill.  Of course neither learnt anything and then proceeded to have sex again.   
    • I'm glad there's a pool set if only for the eye candy. I do think they need to be careful when filming. Today, the direction was off with Kai in the pool -- it looked like he was sitting in a wading pool, and it was clear there was no depth to the water. Also, as I mentioned before, the view from those large windows looks fake as hell.
    • From my notes: San Cristobal with an “a” is from ANOTHER WORLD. Mac, Carl, their fathers, Ian Rains & his father, and Paulina had history on that equatorial island. Paulina was visiting there researching her past & fell for both Ian & Jake McKinnon! San Cristobel with an “e” is from GUIDING LIGHT and is the island kingdom where Prince Richard & Prince Edmund were from. Others with history there were Reva when she was Princess Katherine, Jonathan, Olivia, etc.
