  1. None of the other participants really is compelling for me. I probably won't watch it.
  2. ***** http://karawa.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=community&wr_id=165611&sca=%ED%94%8C%EC%A7%A4 ^^^^^^^ For those who can understand Korean, here is all of the raw episodes of Hara's On & Off. It's at Karawa. Ttodory, the famous K-Kamilia made it. You can only see it on this page (see below). It's a player and has all the espisodes, just click on one of the bottom eight images for each episode. It has really good resolution and the sound is perfect. And the player has full screeen mode as well.
  3. "Flavor of Life" Here is the officeal ballad version by Utada. By the way, I think she still holds the record for the best selling album (her first album "First Love") for Asian music history with 10 million albums worldwide (actual CD's and not those dinky digital singles) for her debut album. It is the only record certified 8 x million and 32 x platinum by RIAJ. Her first album is really good. I have it. Utada, when she started out during early days, had somewhat shaky, unstable voice but got really stable and listenable in live performances. If you want, check out the Utada 2006 United concert DVD. She is really good. In contrary to her early Budokan performances, which I couldn't watch (shaky voice the whole time), made me cringy. Still, I really like Hikki cause she is an artist. She can write, compose, play piano and sing. Her songs are great. I hope she comes back though her voice is somewhat shot. What piss me off is that due to licensing issues, they always take down any of Utada's concert videos on YTube. There were some really good ones there. I can only find low resolution, grainy videos now. http://youtu.be/3Ta0vEnki9E Your welcome. I can comfortably say that the album "Shoebox" by Epik High is one of the best album of the year, bar none. It's a masterpiece. I am exceedingly impressed by them.
  4. Wow, Hiki's song. Didn't see that coming. Pretty good, too.
  5. This show is really good (I understand Korean). I recommend to everyone to watch it if you can. I hope someone can sub it soon. Thanks to red517ream, his/her channel has more episodes being uploaded at dailymotion.
  6. Yes, and don't forget her figure. My god, she has a nice figure. Agreed.
  7. Actually, she is tri-lingual. She can speak Chinese since she was a foreign student in China. I am pretty impressed with her as well. She was a triathlete during her middle schools years. Man, she can swim better than me. She can play clarinet. She reads Bernard Werber novels. Yeah, she is not a typical idol singer.
  8. Looks like Hara and Hammie will be on the new season of the Top Gear Korea (Season 6). Here is preview trailer. http://youtu.be/rYgWomd2Kp0 And here are a few captures.
  9. Agreed. I don't find her voice that attractive. It's too high pitched. But, she is a great song writer. I like her music. I like Indi music as well. I even like the Busker songs. Lee Jin Ah's songs are good, actually. However, I don't find her voice appealing to me. Oh well...
  10. Puhahaha You are funny. Still, good to dream, no?
  11. Girl’s Day Hyeri to be an MC for MBC Gayo Daejejeon along with Jun Hyun Moo, Kim Sung Joo, Lee Yuri and Sistar Soyou. MBC Gayo Daejejeon will be held on December 31st. I hope Hyeri and Soyou can build a friendship through here. They'll be so cute together. This is off topic but your comment caught my eye. I had WiFi issues as well. If you are talking about a wifi router at home, I found out it often times is due to the heat. The typical consumer WiFi routers use pretty under powered cpu's for the processing role (since they are a small computer in a way). They get hot. And the high temperture will affect the performance of the router. The heat will even affect the way the software runs due to the cpu acting up. You will find a lot of youtube clips of people putting these fans on the router. So, that's what I did. I figured that you can put a 80mm fan with a separate power supply. The fan goes on the top of the router (I drilled a hole). You can attach it with some screws or with hot glue, or even a double sided tape from a hard ware store. You can find these fans off of a used PC lying around. Ask friends. I also attached these small heat sinks on the top of some of the chips on the router motherboard. It's really easy. I got them off of a defunct PC mortherboard and video card. Now, I don't get any issues, and the router stays cool. Just to mention, fans smaller than 80mm will be really loud so I don't recommend the smaller fans. Also, the I scrounged up power source by using a used ac/dc block off of other electronic devices. Just make sure to match the voltage. I didn't attach the fan to the router like many did on youtube. It will affect the amperage in the router. And I don't think many will know how to solder the wires either so don't recommend it. Just googling, I found that lowering the temperature of the router will keep them performing better and also working longer. My router used to drop signals all the time, but now it's working perfectly. Hope that may help you. If you have any questions, especially regarding voltage/amperage stuff, just pm me.
  12. Who says Yang's going to let him? They already received millions from LVMH for a partnership on some stuff. They don't need money from Tyler. If Tyler wants to invest in YG, he will have to buy on the open market. We will see how that goes... Um, I don't think he is a Korean national. So, his firm having an account in Caymen is not an issue. And all the hedge funds operating out of NYC have cayment accounts. I mean all of them. And his firm is based out of NYC. Also, he maybe for tax avoidance (which is perfectly legal) but not tax Evasion. If you do that and is a US resident (that includes Green card holders)? You go to jail. So, don't blabber stuff without facts, please. People who are far more wealthy than him got caught for tax evasion and are looking at jail times in the US. Just google them (UBS Swiss and tax evasion). The IRS do not look kindly to tax evasion. I kid you not. They will not bother you for using all kinds of legal manuevers for lowering your taxes. But, if you evade tax, you will go to jail in the US. Agreed. And I detected a very minor accent. It's very slight, though.
  13. Hi guys, just visiting here. By the way, ^ these photos are quite extraordinary. Amazing.
  14. Thanks for the explanation. It's good to know how it's done in Japan. I learned something new.
  15. 141116 Roommate S2 Ep 08 (Raw) Youngji Cut Karawa.co.kr It's a google drive clip HD embedded on Karawa and can't bring here. Go to the link. http://karawa.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=community&wr_id=138302&page=0
  16. Okay, I may not understand the Japanese way of things over there. But, is this like normal in Japan for their photobooks at her age? Like, would Ueno Juri do photobooks like this? I know her agency is pretty big and all and am sure they know what they are doing. Still, if someone can educate me. By the way, she is, like, hot but I am a bit worried what K-net's will say now. They are crazy and all.
  17. Agreed. Her English is quite good, and her accent is cute. I am impressed. She must be one of those people who pickup languages real quick.
  18. The problem is who owns the name right to Nine Muses. If you can't use the name, unless someone can foot the bill to buy it maybe, it's no go from the start.
  19. It's too bad about 9muses. I like their music. Often times, it's more complicated then one wishing some other agencies taking them on. They are probably all under individual contracts and, I am sure, they all end at different times. Short of an M&A of the whole company, it's probably a dream. The issue is really about P&L. Each group is a profit center. If one of your profit center is not making money, it's tough throwing more money into it since making an album with all its related marketing and promotions cost money (into the $100's of thousands). So, the agency has to bear that in the initial stage of each promotions. The group has to make that all back with their event stages and what not. Once promotion starts they all are owning money to the agency. You don't get paid a whole lot to sing on those TV music stages, and those digital album sales hardly make any money as proven again and again. So, they have to make money somewhere. So, at the end of each year, they will tally all the profit and loss and figure if the group made any money. I presume, Namyu is not making a whole lot of money with all their fancy MV's and albums (due to all that expenses). It's really tough. The agency has to make certain strategic and business decisions. Does the group have a big fan base? For them, even a 20,000 to 30,000 fan base would keep them going for a long time. But, I understand their fan base is quite small. I doubt any other agencies would want to acquire Star Empire. Unlike Starship with Sistar (which got bought out), Namyu is not such a great asset. Plus, their certain shady reputation don't help either. It really is too bad. I feel sorry for them. And Sera was a big loss. If you lose Erin, it' like an implosion, no? She has a great rapping voice, since you need certain attitude in your voice for rapping, and she certainly has one. And, OMG, her long legs, she's got the best proportions in the group, I think.
  20. You notice, she is fully clothed, but with just a subtle pose and facial expression, plus a certain mood of the shot conveys how sexy should be.
  21. That's what happens to a lot of people who became fans of Kara. Once you start watching one member, you get swept into the deep world of Kara.
  22. That's a great stage. Where was this concert held?
