YNHJ

I don't think it was ever confirmed true if he were really lsm's fave. I assumed it was just fans who made that up due to his early appearance in an mv and some show appearances. Even if he was, he was probably a favorite when he was younger when he was cute and adorable. Though one thing I heard was that he has the personality that is made for variety shows. Not sure how true is that but if its true, SM surely missed out on that especially knowing exo's boring variety shows rep.

These knetizens bashing him with "He shouldn't be complaining, isn't his group always sell physical albums alot" " He has alot of fangirls, he shouldn't worry". These comments are too narrow-minded and stupid. It isn't the point here. The point Jonghyun is trying to make here is, in the past when the digital market hasn't existed yet, physical albums usually sold around several millions within a week or less. Even casual fans and non-fans would buy full albums (physical copies) if they like the music enough no matter how expensive they were , hence, people had bigger appreciation and love for music compared to recent years. Nowadays, its mostly loyal fans/fanbase who only support buy physical copies of their faves act while most casual fans and non-fans only resort buying digital single/title tracks. In the past when only physical were accessible, people were more exposed to album tracks not just the title promoted tracks compared to recent years where people can only opt to buy certain selective tracks through digital market. Physicals were considered like a treasure in the past where cds, vinyls, cassettes, etc. symbolized music as well the feeling of joy of owning them as valuable possessions and collections and they were expensive while nowadays, the existent and popularity of the digital market as well as the cheaper prices factor and the ease to buying and deleting them in just a click of a button, the overall value of music has considered to be roughly declined. Edit: Just think of unfortunate and sad it will be in the future when and if physical albums will no longer exist. Its not really a new issue. This issue has been talked about alot since over a decade ago eversince the first emergence of digital market like Napster and itunes. Jonghyun definitely knows what he's talking and he is genuinely concern for the overall aspect of music industry. Its stupid for these knetizens to be coming for his words because what he says actually make sense.

If you really think about it SM didn't really lose out on much. Letting go of GD was better for both SM and GD. I mean, its obvious that SM isn't for GD and GD is perfect where he is right now under YG. Otherwise, it'd be such a waste of his hip hop & rap interest and talent had he stayed with SM. SM wouldn't know what to do with a guy like him as well. All tge resources that SM spend to train him would've gone to waste. Obviously, SM knew this and let him go. Heo Youngseng was a talented guy for sure, but SM had far more talented and better looking people during his time like Jaejoong, Junsu, KRY etc. It wasn't much of a loss and obviously Youngsaeng wasnt as as good looking as TVXQ members or Super Junior. Timotheo/ Moonkyu have the dancing skills that is as good as Kai's but its pretty obvious why he didn't make the exo cut; all because he doesn't have the looks and doesnt look as good as the members of exo. All the dancing line - Kai, Lay, Luhan, Sehun, Xiumin - look better than him. If we're talking in terms of rapping, he's around the same level as Kai and Sehun or even worse. Baffles me why ppl think his rapping is better than Chanyeol's. I'm not sure if he can sing or not. Not surprised on why he was dropped from exo. Losing him isnt a big loss at all imo. The same for YG. -Hyunseung. BIGBANG wouldnt be the same if they had him. The only thing I feel that SM is stupid is when they rejected Younha because the girl obviously have both looks and talent. If the rumor I heard about SM rejecting her was because she doesn't look attractive is just stupid because she is clearly pretty imo. But still, if we look from a popularity standpoint, SM didnt lose much but they lost on such pretth and talented girl. JYP, however, losing out on so many stars and talents. Especially the ones he rejected are now more popular and doing heaps better than most of his idols except Suzy. JYP must be so bitter and feel so much regret.

Hopefully they will snatch more wins. Btw, is Choa the most popular member right now? I would assume Seolhyun is the probably the second most popular member? Is that right?

Congrats to AOA! For winning on Music Champion. I knew I should never lose faith just because they were on 12th place on melon last week. They're rising and have longevity which is good. I really like the song and I'm glad they won.

Same for Hello Venus. I've always thought the girls (pre-split) except yoo ara, yoonjo and yooyoung are very mature looking. I thought mature concepts would fit them better. If AoA were to have a cute and girly sub-unit, I think Mina is the first one that fits that concept.

Actually, No.12 on melon isn't as bad as people make it out to be. If I'm not mistaken nowadays, its not that easy to get to top 15 on melon for idols. Many idols did way worse than AOA during 2nd half of 2014. AOA 's placement on melon right now isn't that bad to be quite honest. Haters just wanna see AOA fall. People also overlooked the fact they'really doing really good on other charts.

I don't think she looks old. I think she looks mature. And hot but also cute. There's a difference.

Does anyone else here find Yuna hot in a mature hot mama, milf kinda way? When I said milf, i didn't mean it in a bad way tho. I meant is as a compliment. She's like an unnie/noona hot. I love her face when she smiles too.

As for my fac ve angel, it's hard for me to pick between Yuna and Hyejeong. I hope they'll get higher on melon and maintain their position in the top 10 at least.

what kind of a smear campaign is SM trying to pull now?

I think Shin Bora is the most attractive and she's more funny too. also can sing

They need to stop dragging T-ara. Its not funny anymore.

Exactly Here's some screencaps girl in the yellow - SM trainee This does not look like Seohyun. Looks more like Naeun but why would SM put an Acube idol? lol It should be an SM trainee. Too fast and too blurry to make out who this is SM trainee SM trainee SM trainee This looks like Taeyeon tho. Or could be a look-alike. I mean, you know SM and their clones

But some people said its actually not them. They said that they are trainees. Knowing SM, they like to get trainees who are look-alikes/resemble their already established idol. I don't see anyone looking like Seohyun. I don't see Tiffany at all. I only see some people looking like Taeyeon. http://onehallyu.com/index.php?/topic/89640-did-snsds-tts-appear-on-red-velvets-happiness-mv/ Some people here said its actually SM trainees.

So, I was just lurking and reading some of the older posts by users here discussing about the potential new gg around a month before RV's debut. One post in particular caught my attention: Is this info legit? Because I did noticed a total 10 or 11 girls in RV's Happiness MV. 4 of them are RV members but if you look closely in beginning, there were around 6 or 7 young girls (they look like trainees around the age of 14 -17) in the beginning of the mv, right before the giant colorful lip appears that leads towards the 4 RV members. Could it be that SM is teasing us with these 6 girls that will be in another possible batch of new sm girl group? Who knows? there could another sm girl group unit in the making.

Irene : leader + visual Seulgi : face Wendy : main vocalist Joy: maknae + aegyo role

hahaha nice. +1 I expected this from a Sooyoung fan.

Yes. I see many fans of exo who are also fans of 2NE1. actually, Krystal got hated by many Kai/exo stans/kaisoo shippers. Not just pinoys actually. many fangirls just find it hard to hate on Dara because she has this innocent vibe. From the most that I've seen, fangirls are usually okay with Dara. In fact, any fangirls from any fandom. She is shipped with many other guys too like Donghae, GD, Minho, TOP, Jaejoong, Yuchun, etc. She was shipped with Minho when she confessed she liked Minho and they both had kiss scene in an Etude cf but many shawols didn't really hate her and they actually adore her with Minho. Jaejoong stans also randomly ship Dara with their oppar.weird I know.

Dara is like an exception. fangirls really like her.and most exo fans also like 2ne1.

any ship that has exo and girls are hated more than those ships

The thing about Taemin is he used to be the last person in kpop I'd be worried about when it comes to weight. He might be naturally thin, but I knew he had a great appetite and high metabolisme. I would worry more about Jonghyun "I only eat a little" and Key " I need/I am dieting". I thought Taemin would be the last person on earth to care about weight but never knew he'd had that "I look like a pig" thinking. Which is more worrying Its fine if people lose weight through exercising because you gain muscle mass in return but losing weight through extreme dieting, starving, etc is unhealthy. I'm not saying Taemin is losing weight through unhealthy ways, its just he just doesn't look great nowadays. He looks gaunt, thin and a mess (maybe mess mostly because of his middle parted hair lol). He's not aging well, just looks terrible and its worrying me. I mean look at his recent airport pics. I don't want to speculate but I'm just worried. His head looks bigger than his body here . Plus, his bad posture and he just looks kinda weak. Its like he's getting smaller/thinner and smaller/thinner by the day. Am I the only one who thinks and notices this? Or am I overreacting?

I agree but I must be the only one who feel worried. He doesn't look like he's in a good shape nowadays. Its like he's thin, small, frail and gaunt. Not exactly malnutrition, but he just doesn't look in his best shape. I remember someone posted that Taemin said to Jonghyun he wants to lose weight because he thinks he looks like a pig. That kind of thinking is... is worrying me.

My Babies HV <33333 When are they gonna comeback?
