I understand you may have many differing views on things from your learning and experience. That's fine and all. However, what I find annoying is that, besides you who have listed your real name on the blog (via link posted on that Kpop Voice Blog) others on that site do not. So, my take is, let me see all your credentials. Show me the proofs. You all can throw around all that nice technical jargon to impress the Kpop fans and whatnot. Still, how do I know what you say are real? Do you all really have all that experience and education? The sense I get from the blog is many hide behind all that terms of their own bias. Furthermore, the list of artists analysis is really extensive. You all say it's for fun and giggle (maybe) but why? Just the fact that you all have exhaustive list on that VERY nicely done blog site of the groups and singers from KPop and then rank them by their supposed (technical singing abilities), I find it highly suspect. Let me see all your face and names then. I want to see your names on your supposed "Professional" opinions. See how that will go? Seriously. Not you since I saw your photo. What about all the others? Why spend all that time, trying to impress people? Why don't you impress those who matter to you then with all that time on your hands. Seriously. I mean, for me it's not about Solji at all. Since, I haven't read what you said about Solji. I know she is NOT the best singer with the perfect techniques. But, I think she is a great singer. But, when I see JeA (BEG) below all those Shinee, EXO, Eunji, and Raina? I was taken a back and cannot take what you guys say serious, no matter how much you say you're all "Professionals." I mean, Raina? Better than Jea? Really. Got to be kidding me. I actually agree with you. -

My humble opinion is Bom is just an average singer and Tiffany, don't even mention. They are kidding themselves. I am not an expert but it's not even a contest. And, yes Taeyeon is a decent singer. But, know what? Every songs I've heard, she never really moved me. I can't feel soul from her singing. Solji has soul in her singing. That's something not even a best technician (vocalist) can match. It comes from her struggles (10 years) in her profession. The years of living, suffering, hurting, and meeting insurmountable walls of denials and failures give that. No amount of Teaching and practice can give you that feeling that will touch people's heart. That's what makes a great singer (different from a vocalist). That's why many times the veteran singers will tell their junior hoobaes that you should date a lot. From loving someone, you get to experience both the exhilaration of happiness to the depth of hell. And those experiences give you weight to your voice. They add up to the emotional resonance to your voice. Those guys can talk all they want about who is better and best vocalist (hitting the high note and how low register the singer can go). Doesn't matter. That's why even though I am often amazed at Ailee's singing (from her techniques and control of her voice) she rarely touches me. I think it also has to do with her growing up in the States. And I see this the same with Leena Park. She is a great (amazing singer) in a way. But, I never get touched by her singing. There is some of that detachness in her voice that I can't fathom. Their songs are nice to listen once but I rarely go back to their songs again. I feel the same from much of the pop singers in the Western countries. Interestingly, I see that soul in many of the Korean singers. When they sing Gayo, it's there. You an hear it. By the way, those guys and their blog, when I saw JeA being below Apink's Eunji and all those other group singers like After Scho Raina and EXO and Shinee members? That was it. They can spout all those technical jargon all day. Raina? Are you kidding? I've yet to hear her sing live that was any good. Those guys are biased to the max. Unbelievable crud. It's all biased shading masked with their some knowledge of vocal training. ------------------------- About Hyerin and her name... She was saying Hellrin cause she said when she was getting a coffee at a cafe the server asked her name where she told her it was Hyerin and the server heard it as Hellrin (she said oh, "Hellrin"?). She was perplexed about it since she thought she was saying it right. So, they were joking about her name and how to say it in English. Argo, her name being she is from "hell", Hell-rin. Haha. -

For those interested, above gif's are from (Sunday) today's Radio program DJ'd by Solji and Junghwa. See below for the raw Youtube video. 150517 KBS COOL FM. It was for an hour. She was crying cause she had wrote a letter to her mom. And the program PD's also secretly made her to be able to speak to her mom on the air as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RBFXcYoZy4 -
Oh, I see. Now I understand. Thanks for the explanation!

Can someone please explain to me how the badges work? Okay, now I have these a few badges right? I think I had like around 400 posts when I got them. Now, if I request new badge for Gyuri, i.e., the old one will be replaced by a new one of her, right? Then, if I want to add a new badge of another person, besides Hara and Gyuri, do I just ask for it? I have 611 posts now, then how many badges can I get besides what I have now? What about the album covers? I am confused about the number of your posts and how to use them. Meaning, do I loose the number of posts as I buy album covers and badges? Or, does the number of posts limit how many badges you can have on your posts? I am really confused. Someone help me understand.

During the brief conversation, S Tiger also says how Hani can be like a dummy and sometimes can't say anything (because she is a nice girl - meaning she won't say no or bad things). Hani then says she is filming the show my little TV. Her mother goes, "...really? That, that's filming." Hani: It's filming live now and will be shown starting next week. Mom, you're going to be shown (her voice) on TV. Mom: What? I had to sound prettier... STiger: It's good thing you didn't curse...!!?? -v- Hani: Mom, mom I love you. Mom: Me, too. Hani: Mom, eat a meal and byebye. Your welcome. I agree on your point. -

Shinsadong Tiger calls up Hani's mom and asks her what can she say about her daughter (about her positive trait). Her mom (from what I gather is a very rational person) says... "She is a good (nice) girl. From my perspective it can be negative (it can have a lot of meaning but maybe she can be taken advantage by other), but from a public's perspective, that's a good thing." Meanwhile, Hani's crying. So, maybe this was more likely spontaneous thing. Hani was born in Seoul. The clip from Crime Scene probably was her joking (and acting a character). Hyerin is from Jeolla province and maybe her satoori has kinda infected other members. -

This article I came across recently was posted on Sept 14, 2014, at The Fact site. It's actually quite insightful and was written right after they came back with "Up and Down" after 1yr 8 month of hiatus. This will give you all some more color and insight into EXID.

Just your typical EXID event held at SaeJong University on 150514. EXID is singing "Up and Down". Still, look at all those smartphones filming. Surprised that they even have a JimmyJib as well. -

Here is for those interested. EXID performing "Every Night" on Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook in 2012. (they only performed without an interview) It is a very rare 1080P HD video. Download it before they take it away. KBS has been really tough with their videos. The file is really clean and better than many of those so called 1080p videos out there. It really is a HD. -

He is going to the army in two days. And he brought his attendance record for EXID's many TV music show tapings (fan club gives stamp on a sheet, you can see the sheet in the video) as well. So, they are being really nice to him. Junghwa wrote a long comments. Since he is a Junghwa fan. -

Whoever subbed it, there is some error. In the first video, at the 1:45 point, when Junghwa says Hani has some bbak bbak tendencies ("빡빡하다"), that is not "baldness" it means Hani has tendencies of being perfectionist, intensity, or no room for loosening up. -

Thanks. Yeah, I figured. She used a fast lens with a constant aperature. It looks like either a Canon or Nikon zoom lens. Expensive. Someone did a ranking based on a combination of various aspects. Columns left to right, ranking, name, summation, total fan cafe members, SNS (3%), Portal Search Volume (10%), Digital Songs (I don't know if that's digital streaming or digital sales), and last is Growth (110%). Who knows if this is valid... -

Hi, can you ask your friend which camera and lense were used (especially the lens) and let me know? I would appreciate it. I am really interested. These are really high quality shots, very good exposures. Concert events are some of the harder images to take, I think. They tend to have a lot of high contrast frames with fast moving images, makes 'em harder to capture great photos. -
Gee...her legs !

Now, I like "Up&Down," but it's not my favourite among their songs, "Phone Call" and "Thriling" are my favourites. However...THIS is really good. In fact, it's awesome. I could listen to this all day. There are ONLY Korean comments under the video so no I-Leggos know this, I presume. So, watch this and bow down. (got the link from enha wiki EXID page.) He is a serious muscian with all those instruments including Musicman Bass and PRS guitar. Those are expensive. "UP & DOWN" in Metal Cover. (A Killer cover indeed) -

EXID has no hole visually in the group. Also, having a singer like Solji (who's also really hot) and Rapper like LE (who can also write and wrote all those songs for the other singers, and who is also hot) is a big threat, I think. Having a song writer is a triple threat. No matter how pretty singers you have in a group, (won't name which), having a good song writer gives a gravita. That's something you can't scoff at. It adds substance. Plus, you have the huge trend of Hani (they can't attack her visual, body, personality or brain, so they go after her singing, and that stance is even questionable if you know her) and Crazy Junghwa (and she is the cute maknae so she can be forgiven for a lot of things), and Hyelin is no slouch in singing either, you have a group here that can potentially be the biggest girl group in the near future. -

Agreed. I like that song a lot, actually. These are good. I like them all. I guess the consensus came out great. This is a great figure. Very happy for them.
