    Well I have no ties here in Australia (yet), I'm still too young to settle, only thing stopping me from going is accommodation and the language barrier!  :cry:  Otherwise I'd go in a heartbeat.  :rlytearpls:  

    I'm going - haha pure madness, should be better than tramping through Afghanistan or an Indian backwater. Looking for a flatmate.

    According to a translator "ëŒ" means "stone" and "반전" "reversal" or something like that.

     

    I think it just means that because their debut was such a failure people would expect NLF to be as bad as the previous song but instead turned people's expectations 'upside down' like stones.

    ëŒ = dol, probably from "Idol".

    There was an AP article that mentioned Crayon Pop and I can't believe you didn't mention it:

    SEOUL - The Korean music industry plunged into chaos this week as entertainment companies scrambled to deal with a sudden, unexplained wig shortage. Sources stated that wigs first began to go missing in the afternoon of March 28, continuing into the weekend, and that the disappearances rose drastically after midnight on April 1st, leading some to speculate that they were victims of an elaborate April Fool's Day prank. Stylists woke up to discover their wardrobes completely devoid of any sort of hairpieces, while some pop stars reported that their wigs suddenly vanished directly from atop their heads. The current whereabouts of these wigs remain unknown, but police are investigating.

    Wigs are considered an essential prop in the K-pop industry, according to YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun Suk: "In this business, it's considered tacky to wear clothes that aren't designed by Jeremy Scott or to have the same hair color two days in a row, and it would be too time consuming to dye your hair that often, so we just keep a warehouse full of wigs that we can use at will, but it's completely empty now and I don't know what to do. Another thing a lot of people don't realize is that once Korean women reach a certain age, their hair begins to undergo a natural curling process, and we can't have our artists running around in ahjumma fros, can we? They would look ridiculous! The music we make here is not merely idol pop but meaningful, revolutionary art, and the last thing I'll stand for is having my roster of talent look silly in any way. One of our artists even tried undergoing an experimental treatment to counteract her hair curling but there were unforeseen side-effects that degraded her singing voice and made her face look strange and puffy, so we had to discontinue the treatment, but it was too late. Wigs are the only solution for us, so this situation will end up delaying our scheduled promotions, but if we're lucky and things are resolved soon we think we'll be able to release Akdong Musician's debut possibly as soon as Summer, 2016."

    While most music acts have decided to temporarily halt their promotions until the wig crisis is under control, others have pledged to continue, even if it means being seen in their natural hair, or lack thereof. A few have come up with more creative solutions to the problem. A spokesman from A Cube Entertainment revealed that A Pink will controversially be donning nun's habits while promoting their new single, Mr. Chu. "At first, people may think it makes an odd combination with the short schoolgirl skirts and kinky knee-high socks, but it actually makes a lot of sense. The top half of the costume represents the innocence of a compliant, modest virgin, while the bottom half represents a young girl's burgeoning sexuality just waiting to be unleashed in a spectacular torrent of lust if only the right middle-aged man would come along and teach her the ways of the adult world. Our uncle fans see the members of A Pink as ideal surrogate daughters, but at the same time wouldn't hesitate to turn them into domesticated sex pets if they had the chance. This concept allows us to exploit their creepiest fantasies without having to deal with the sort of backlash a typical sexy concept would receive. It's pretty ideal. Like a drunk, desperate college girl dressed as a sexy nun for Halloween, this wig shortage has turned out to be literally a blessing in disguise for us."

    Not to be outdone when it comes to controversy, Kim Kwang Soo, the former CEO and current behind-the-scenes puppet master of Core Contents Media, revealed his questionable plan to cope with the wig shortage during a hastily arranged press conference. "I'm pleased to report that our schedules will continue as planned," said Kim. "Fortunately, I keep a sizable catalog of teenage girls that I've scouted as potential trainees while cruising the streets of Seoul, and they came in very handy this time, just as they have in the past. Some of them cried while their heads were being shaved for the benefit of their seniors, but this was advantageous too, as it revealed which ones lacked the character required to succeed as professional idols. This will likely save me from PR headaches in the future. It also amuses me to see young girls cry. Haha! Perhaps I have said too much!"

    One company that has remained curiously unaffected by the wig crisis is Chrome Entertainment, home of the recently popular girl group Crayon Pop. Group member Choa revealed that she didn't realize the industry was in the midst of a shortage. "We've got more [wigs] than we know what to do with! They just started appearing out of nowhere and it actually became a bit of a problem because we don't have much space here. We had to load a bunch of them up in our new tour bus so we could donate them to a charity that gives hairpieces to medical patients. Apparently it's a huge tax write-off for the company, which is good because we're still new and we don't yet have the sort of government connections that would help us get away with things like tax evasion." She continued to explain that Crayon Pop would be glad to lend some of their surplus wigs to fellow musicians in need until the crisis is under control, but added, "we're pretty busy this week promoting our new single and planning our upcoming North American tour with Lady Gaga, so it may take a while to get in touch with us, but just keep trying and we should be able to work something out eventually." In the meantime, she suggested, "maybe you should try wearing helmets instead."
