  1. So I just watched the 1st episode of Kpop Star and I noticed something: at the beginning of the show, they showed ex-contestants-who-are-now-trainees singing the same song. Only the ones who are still trainees, no debuted ones, and Hanna wasn't there. She was in the promotional videos though. My guess is that when it was filmed (back in summer probably), Hanna was scheduled to have debuted by the time it would air, and that's why she wasn't here. And since the HiSuhyun unit was made quite last minute according to their interview, my second bet was they took the GG's spot, because YG must have thought the girls weren't ready yet. All speculation though... It could have been filmed more recently too...
  2. Hi, first time posting here, Shannon just announced on her Instagram that she will debut live in Hidden Singer season 3 on the 29th Sorry I don't know how to repost her message, but here's the link: http://instagram.com/p/vqyXVrDPDR/?modal=true
  3. I don't think so. After a few years, idols need to show versatility in individual activities or they will disappear. Sadly, not all groups can pull a Shinwha... I think JYP acts should do more comebacks but "smaller" ones, not all songs need to be promoted for weeks, I'd rather have 6-7 songs in a year than 2 big comebacks with follow-up songs. They might not achieve a super high rank, but the regularity would definitely help the artists in staying in the spotlight. That "team kill" of avoiding to promote 2 artists too closely to each other is stupid, 2 artists promoting simultaneously can actually help each other and interact in shows and create more interest in JYP. We're not buying whole CD's to listen to songs anymore, if Miss A and 2PM were to promote at the same time with good songs, I would definitely buy both songs. Plus with the number of acts big agencies like JYP have to manage, it's not possible to avoid simultaneous promotion anymore, not when small companies with 2-3 acts promote them continuously. But that's just my opinion...
  4. 8 is big, but if YG really wants his first big group à la SM, than he has to go for it. I don't mind the amount of members as long as they work well together and as long as there is no dead weight.
  5. Historical drama's are always a tad difficult because most try to follow the history closely and somewhat make superheroes out of all the historical figures (and they last for a freaking 50+ episodes with a plot for 20...). The three musketeers PLAYS in the past, but is not the part of the history. I found it less boring than actual historical dramas. It has a nice balance of action and intrigues and it doesn't take 5 episodes to move on to the next "story". If you like historical settings but not historical dramas (which is my case) then I'd definitely recommend it. But to be perfectly honest, I don't think this is the drama of the year, if you don't see it, you won't have missed much. It's a pretty nice drama, and one of my favorite for this past season, but probably not one I'll put on my favorites' list. (sorry can't compare to Borgias and Vikings, haven't seen them) Hope that helped a little anyway Thanks! :D
  6. I'm not sure the album of Lovelyz can count as an album. There are 9 tracks one intro+the 4 solo tracks (2 from Baby Soul, one from Jiae and one from JIN). The new songs are actually the equivalent of a mini... (I was so disappointed when I realized that)
  7. 1st episode is for November 23rd I believe Yes, they're filming since September or something. In Hanna's case, at her first audition, YG already knew he was gonna recruit her (He said something like she should have auditioned for YG directly and made things easier for herself). If he personally talked with Jinseok to keep them in, I wouldn't be surprised if he already has a plan, and I wouldn't be surprised if 1-2 Kpop Star contestants are included in the plan...
  8. And here I can't help but hear "New trainee from Kpop Star 4" ... Let's see if this year YG find his male Jang Hanna within the contestants XD
  9. Not sure about the iKON delay, he really announced a timing and stuff, plus they apparently already have the songs, they just need to re-record that 1-2 lines Chanwoo will get (<.< Still a little bitter, sorry). I hope they'll get delayed to give the group some time to adjust and give time to the girls, but really doubt it :( Well, CL is second maknae, BI is more in the maknae line as well (before Donghyuk joined he was already leader and 2nd maknae, actually he's probably been the leader since there was only 3 members...). I don't think age counts at all for YG, he also debuted Dara and Bom when they were 25 (26 Korean age). I don't see any company releasing idols with that age besides YG tbh. If Miyeon is a rapper with a voice like Tasha and in YG since 2010 just like Jennie, my bets are on either one of them... Happy Birthday
  10. Why is JYP so bad at marketing ex-kpop star winners? 15& and now Bernard Park... In YG Lee Hi (who was second) and AKMU had HUGE debuts. Jimin and Bernard don't lose on the talent side though...
  11. In the Mnet editing: he looked like one when the new members joined. Other than that not really... When you're leading a group and you feel some people are not doing their best, sometimes you need to be the bad guy and tell others what they're doing wrong or not doing. I don't think that makes him a bully but someone who takes his responsibilities as a leader seriously. Out of those situations, when he was not in leader mode but friend/member, he's just normal. Just my opinion though...
  12. I just finished watching season 1, and I was wondering if the airing date for the 2nd season was already announced?
  13. Can't we trend #JinSeokDuoDebut instead? Wouldn't that be a little more positive than bashing a group who's line up is not even publicly final yet? I would be fine with a male vocal duo Davichi style with a YG twist (because I thing Davichi's music is a little boring besides the outstanding vocal)? Honseok can bring in the ballad and Jinhyung the R&B or something, would be great (Just tryin' to see the positive side here, JinSeok would have half a song each instead of a few lines per song, and we could still spazz over interactions with iKON in unit projects or family concert...)
  14. And that was all because of these stupid rumors against new Jin, or he would be the +1 *sigh* Anyway, congrats Chanwoo, you better up your game if you don't want to be the backup vocal and member forever...
  15. Hi, I'll get back to that teaser, if the unit is Hi Soohyun ft. Bobby and not a gg member, it's probably because YG realised he shouldn't lose the momentum here. AKMU is the new monster rookie like Lee Hi was, and even if Winner is popular, they're nowhere near AKMU in the charts. If he keeps on promoting AKMU well now, they can become huge (if he doesn't pull a Lee Hi on them and stops promoting them for over a year I mean). Chanhyuk has written loads of unreleased songs, if they're as good as the ones in Play, why wait? Secondly: Bobby, B.I and well iKON pulled by those two. YG has been steadily building hype with Team B participating in YG Family concerts, M&M, and Bobby winning SMTM3 was like the crown in there. Same with AKMU, if he doesn't work fast with iKON now, he'll lose the momentum. He probably plans on keeping iKON, or at least Bobby and BI in the spotlight until their debut in January. He's planning for the monster rookie of 2015 here. Actually he probably didn't expect Bobby to win SMTM and to become so popular, it probably rushed his plans for iKON. (considering he took a year to debut Winner after WIN) Now the girl group, no matter how many promises he made in the past, if he can't fit them in between the 'monsters', they'll have to wait. And no matter how much that sucks, I feel it's better. If he releases them between Soohyun/Hi/Bobby (eventually Psy) and iKON, it will only be to not lose the spotlight on YG. So either the GG will be a new f(x) (aka we have trainees here, they're good, but we have no timing for them and they don't fit in out next big things) or by some miracle the GG takes away the spotlight from iKON, and that's probably not what he wants, because he'd loose the hype he built up for iKON to the girls. I just wish YG would actually build hype for the girls too and give them more featurings or appearances until they debut,,, I'll be surprised if he releases them in Nov/Dec honestly... I actually don't really want them to debut for a short month of promotions just to make way for iKON. At this point, it might be better for the girls to wait for after iKON's debut, ride the YG popularity after them and hopefully get their own spotlight for a while.
  16. I think you are reading into it too much into it. The members had a number that went 1. Junhoe, 2. Yunhyeong, 3. Donghyuk, 4. Jinhyeong, 5. Chanwoo, 6. Hongseok, and they were always shown in this order during the whole show... It's the order they joined in too btw.
  17. Not sure it's legit, but the comments don't have much to do with what was voted. I voted for Hongseok but didn't comment about it, the ones who commented were mostly OT6+Chanwoo supporters anyway... But I'd really like it if YG could officially release how the votes went in the end depending on the platforms used. I'm curious at the difference between i-fans and k-fans as well.
  18. Actually I think the results show the members in terms of votes, since Junhoe was first and pretty much the one everyone thought was safe. The 5th spot was Dodo/Yun, but with i-fans disliking Dong's tone, I'm guessing Yun took over... I can't wait for tomorrow, if it's not Donghyuk, it's going to be crazy :O Haha Perfect gif! I thought so too. Why add a two-week trainee to a group about to debut unless the trainee is super ready or if you need him for whatever reason. Since iKON is very dance-oriented and Hongseok isn't, the minute YG announed iKON would be promoting in China, it became clear to me... But who knows? I think so too for the 30%, please please YG save Jinhyung. The rumors against him were unfair, it's ok to compensate with the judge's vote! (Well at least that's what I'm thinking^^ It would be a shame to see him get dropped because of a false rumor...)
  19. That is actually what saddens me a little. I'm not really for groups that switch from extreme cutesy to super sexy (Girl's Day or Secret for example), but I do think that having some margin to move around with concepts is a good thing. With a name like 'Lovelyz', the girls are pretty much stuck with one concept. You don't see 'Lovelyz' go on full power or full charimas in a performance, lovelyz is well... cute, natural, pretty, but that's about it. Theoretically of course, they can do another concept, but that will be kind of awkward. I really wish Woollim had chosen a less concept-oriented name for them.
  20. YG server down, it's good you guys are here! Congrats to Yoyo :D
  21. As expected Junhoe, the real battle starts after this. If the announcement goes by most voted to least voted (which I think it does), I'll be most disappointed if we get Donghyuk tomorrow instead of Yunhyeong... And the second battle will be for the last spot, OT6+?... M&M was one of the most pointless shows I saw in my whole life... Thank you YG, hope you'll give them a HUGE of a debut to make up for it, and for everything you had them go through.
