  1. According to this, traditional single center trading off between verses: Click here to view the Tweet But with the center now rumored to be Kaeun after weeks of Minjoo it means NOTHING from the Korean side is really confirmed at all. So take this with a tablespoon of salt.
  2. LoL. This thread is now almost as angry as the PD48 one. There are two and half months left. Don’t burn yourselves out!
  3. Apologies to anything that might be seem as a bash. I love cute as well. But Girl Crush as a concept can’t be taken haphazardly. It is the mood and personna of the whole group. PD101 radiates cute plus a little sexy. 48G radiates cute plus even more cute. No matter how hard we try, we can never get PD48 conceptually to here:
  4. That’s becayse their bikini MVs are filmed by Koreans ZanyBros among the best in the biz. Yes, there is no reason for the double standard. People think bikini vids are so out there because of the KPOP ban (crazy when communist China allows it) but this art form has been around since the 1950s in the US. It took off in the 1960’s with the California Sound. All for bikini MVs and will lose my fucking mind if P48’s final group does a 48-style bikini video (for the Japanese release at least!) The thought is so profound now that I might not be able to sleep tonight. A PD48 bikini vid!!!!
  5. Don’t mind me. I’m still in mourning over 4 Minute and will say stupid things. But I think all new Girl Crush pretenders will be pale reminders of the real thing. I won’t be able to bear watching them. Let the legends lie in peace.
  6. I love girl crush concept. But it is gone. What do we have in the new gen? BlackPink? Sorry the greatest girl crush groups died a few years ago: 4 Minute, 2NE1. Even Fx and Miss A are basically dead. No, the world is all GFriend and Twice. lol Hyuna is rolling in her grave now. Oops, she’s still alive. Anyways, 48s with their girly ways can’t do girl crush. It’s a KO-rean thang. Sorry.
  7. Hmmm, so there isn’t a bikini photo of Savoki I only got into SNH48 through 7Senses around last year so it was after Savoki’s tenure. I notice on 48 forums Savoki’s name is still being brought up after all this time. There is a reverence for her isn’t there? I think I read that the bikini shoot this year in Thailand included replacements for girls in the top 32 of their senbatsu that declined the privilege. So I guess they can still decide. Anyways I really liked their bikini videos! Still amazing that the brand can be totally re-invented in JKT.
  8. So much drama! In this thread as well as the show. lol Wanted to wait for the subbed one but can’t help myself and watched parts of ep 2. WOW! Can there be a better entrance than Reyina? So striking and powerful. Don’t want to spoil but she is a favorite now. If I were a talent manager for China’s nation GG, I’d have this line-up: 1) Yamy (main rapper; lead dancer) 2) Mei Qi (main dancer, lead vocal, visual) 3) Liu Dan Meng (lead vocal, lead dancer, visual) 4) Liu Ren Yu (lead vocal, lead dancer, visual) 5) Fu Jing (lead dancer, subvocal, visual) 6) Xianyu (lead dancer, subvocal, main visual, face) 7. Mimi (main vocal, dancer) 8. Donghua (rapper, dancer, subvocal) 9. Reyina (subvocal, resident supermodel) 10. Sunnee (rapper, dancer, resident tomboy) 11. Chaoyue (goofball) The vocal talents in this PD101 are too good and too many and so I went with the triple threats. The vocals in my imaginary team would still very strong but would be viisually more striking than a team composed of just the best vocals. The last three on the list will keep the group in the media! They will be controversial but you need that sometimes for the best stories to keep the public’s interest.
  9. It is kind of amazing to me that gravure-heavy AKB48 was able to expand into a conservative Muslim majority country like Indonesia. Need to see a bikini vid from BNK48 and MUM48. Asia’s Bikini MV capital today is in Shanghai IMHO. The SNH48 bunch rock the bikini far harder and far better than anyone else west of Australia lol
  10. Yeah. It is kinda bland. They should have done something more Chinese(y) and fierce like a variation of this: Even that high school kid in the US instinctly knew that the cheongsam is an eye-catching dress. Missed opportunity.
  11. Actually, Yamy-Meiqi looks more serious: Click here to view the Tweet
  12. Hey, that security girl has a nice tight body too! I’ll call your Fu Jing-Xuanyi and raise that with a Yamy-Meiqi: Click here to view the Tweet
  13. Nice sleuthing, Merika. I assume these will be Yue Hua’s Korean trainees since their high profile Chinese girls are in PD101? Anyyone know their Korean female trainees? Searches only come up with their entries in Broduce — Sunghyeok, Euiwoong, Hyeongseop. Or is she talking about members of WJSN? BTW, interesting video as a whole. Woman CEO (not bad looking for a chief executive lol.) Chinese entertainment firm in Korea. Their strategy.
  14. Yes, Fu Jing from Banana. Really my favorite. She’s the long and lean type of gorgeous, dances great and can sing too. I like the personality too. I think she’ll be a big hit with the boys: https://youtube.com/watch?v=h567keTZqh4 Maybe girls too: Click here to view the Tweet
  15. IF they keep to schedule. The air date was supposed to be in May just a month ago: https://www.kpopmap.com/produce-48-revealed-to-broadcast-in-may-with-finalized-participants Then it was pushed back in April: https://www.soompi.com/2018/04/03/mnet-announces-details-first-shoot-broadcast-date-produce-48 The delays and lack of confirmations from the Korean side feed Knetz speculations that agencies are reluctant to commit and that negotiations are still ongoing.
  16. Thanks! BTW, it seems there is no big drop off in visuals from SNH48 to GNZ48 to SHY48. Congrats on not running out of pretty girls. lol
  17. Thanks. I haven’t seen Reyina in PD101 yet I don’t think. I’m waiting for subbed ep 2. But I have seen tweets and wow she looks totally Euro like from Spain or Italy. Dilreba and Guli Nazha can kind of pass for majority Chinese.
  18. I asked this on one of the Kiki’s appreciation threads, probably not the right place so taking the question to the experts here
  19. Is she mixed? She seems very tall with super model looks and proportions. Sometimes with Chinese I can’t tell. Girls who look mixed could be just from a part of China I’m not familiar with.
  20. Tencent should make a pure trainee show from that pool of applicants. PD101 is so full debuted/failed groups that all those aspiring girls were never given a real chance. SNH48 drew 30000 in their auditions five years ago according to the Tokyo Times. Probably because it was longer more drawn out process: https://www.tokyotimes.com/30000-apply-to-join-akb-shanghai/ The numbers are alway crazy stupid in China. PD48 had reportedly had 1000 applicants.
  21. Unless all of PD48’s K-side are free agents, they can’t announce anything like Seoul48. The Korean agencies are not going to hand over their trainees to AKS. Hell, I don’t think the agencies would even allow their top girls in the theater. I don’t think a Minjoo or Ahn Yoobin would be given up for a theater. It’s either the debuting group or Urban/Starship take back their trainee.
  22. LoL. Yes, I meant mainly fans and the general publuc. And Korean entertainment companies treat Koreans pretty bad too! I think part of the issue with Chinese members, especially EXO’s Chinaline, is they don’t understand why they are paid so little while the band generates so much cash. EXO is among the top grossing groups in the world not just Korea. But all members are paid peanuts when they start out. China will always have more money. I don’t blame them for wanting to make more money in their home country (when they are still young) but I don’t think it is always the fault of the agency. Also, foreign members are given the chance to be on groups when they couldn’t speak the language well or are limited in skills because they are seem as projects for the foreign market. Chinese trainees, especially, get a break on those fronts because of the size of the Chinese market. PS: I meant Got7’s Mark not NCT’s Mark Lee. I’m bad with boy bands.
