Persona

I remember watching a kpop reactioner and he has all this really good equipment and he always said that AoA songs have a large amount of impressive harmonies. So this is no surprise that they sound so good I still have hope we will see them again. I was so proud of them how they handled that whole comeback. To say they were the 3 lesser known members at the time, they certainly did a respectable job. Yes it could have been better and if Choa and Jimin had been in then it would probably have been better but I think they did really well. FNC really need to give them another song soon!!

It's really nice. Always good to see a company let this kind of thing out for the fans!! That damn sig really making me laugh. I'm probably finding it a lot funnier than it is but for some reason it makes me full on laugh when I see it lol

Welcome Ket. Nice to have you join us. We hope you enjoy your time with us It's an NB post. You need to remember that if there were 20 articles about about the same subject and 19 were complimentary, NB would still search through them all to find the one that isn't. Even if it has hardly any interest on the thread. They will still use the one with insults on it because NB is that desperate to hate on AoA. So don't worry about this at all we are used to the irrelevant posts from NB

I don't think how any song does in Korea can be used to predict how it would perform in Japan. Look at a band like FT Island. When they release in Korea they are lucky to get in the top 50 with the songs they release. But yet the same song will get all sorts of love in Japan. It just depends how much Japan accepts them. If they are popular enough in Japan then Bing could be a huge hit.

Hello and welcome to our humble little thread. It is great to have you join us Let's get the two usual questions out of the way shall we? Who is you favourite member and do you have a favourite song? Again welcome I hope you enjoy your time with us!!

I agree I too think it will have benefits to come. Okay maybe AoA didn't get the chart positions we would have liked to see but as usual they certainly did not flop. I have always been proud of the fight AoA shows. FNC keeps throwing us against some of the best kpop groups out there and we usually show that we are up to the challenge. Almost every comeback they have had has been a challenge in some way. Whether it be taking on a big group or haters coming out in force and our angels never stopped fighting and Elvis had their backs. I don't really care about the chart position but I am proud of their fight yet again and how they turned what looked like a bad time at first into something a lot better. Now we can look forward to the next one and they will come back a little wiser and with the scandals mostly behind them now.

It's as I said before, I will speak up against anyone I don't feel really cares about that thread and/or AoA but I will speak up for anyone I think is dedicated and I don't doubt your dedication. So I said my piece! I am liking this pic. I think she looks so classy here. One of those timeless pics. So pretty!

Yes like I said I do understand what you are saying. I guess I just thought that those quotes put Ket in a bad light that isn't truly the person so I just wanted to explain for anyone reading. I'll drop it now.

Yeah well they need to learn the difference between joke and serious. That's about 60% of the traffic gone on the AoA thread for 5 days because between you and Pann I think you both covered about 90% of posting lol. oops let me keep it on topic with a Choa pic!!

I think the reason no one said anything is because we know it was not malicious. Ket is very dedicated to AoA. More than most on here and wouldn't really be that aggressive. I understand that new people to the thread may not know Ket's personality and may not know there was nothing bad in it. But I guess I just wanted to say this since I think Ket is a real plus to this thread and the fandom.

This comeback has really helped Hyejeong shine vocally. With Yuna being sidelined she sang most of Yuna's parts in Excuse me and did most of the vocal in the song you posted in this quote. I really am very proud of her. Was good to see Chanmi having a sing too. Her speaking voice always seems a little deep to me yet her singing voice is quite high and cute. So strange how that works lol

Ah so this is why the pages moved on so quickly. I am so pleased and proud for them. They have showed that (as always) they are ready to fight for everything then get. Haters will still try and find a way to diminish the win, it's how desperate they are but their tears falling does make me happy! Nice to see a win on a different show also. They have done well!! You have definitely caught the main parts of Choa and cast them in a good light. I would say 9/10. When is the art gallery opening? lol

Okay catching up again so will do page by page. Although the pages have moved on quick so I am guessing something has happened. Hope it's good lol I agree. Whatever the reason why this song didn't perform as strongly as the rest (and I refuse to believe it's because AoA suddenly lost popularity) they are still showing that they can hold position once they have it. I know the figures aren't as good as GL but this did start to pick up late and so the figures will be less. But the important thing is it did pick up again and is showing there is still interest. I think if FNC let AoA concentrate in Korea and not whisk them off to Japan again then the next comeback will tell us the interest there is in AOA. Part of me thinks Choa was right when she said that them going over to Japan for a while then came straight back to the comeback and didn't get back in everyone's thoughts again first, actually did harm to things. It makes sense. I hope you mean handle first. Logo end first could be mighty eye watering!! Yuna is certainly very bendy. Definitely a good quality, and yes that did sound more perverted than I meant it to but I can live with it Choa looks really damn attractive. I always like to see her get solo gigs like this. She makes clothes look good! Absolutely. FNC get this done ffs

The reason I picked the word confidence over bragging is because I would think that bragging was more saying how you were better than others with something but just answering a question positively about yourself with a yes or no would seem to show a quiet confidence than an out right egotism. That's why when Hyejeong was asked if she though her body was on par with Seolhyun and she answered yes, I put that down to confidence too. In this business you have to be confident or you would never get up on stage I guess. However in the end it doesn't really matter how we translate it, it's just pathetic how the haters try to make more out of it as they usually do. I have noticed though that more and more people seem to speak up for AoA now. I wonder if it's because of the witch hunt and then the music show thing and Seolhyun with Zico, people got tired of seeing AoA as a group and Seolhyun singularly, getting kicked down all the time because there seems less hate on this forum for them recently. Of course there will always be the dedicated haters and we know who they are but they are irrelevant anyway

I really liked the Sbenu styling. It had one of my favourite styling for Yuna. Like in the pic above. I wish she had kept that longer!! God forbid that Seolhyun should show any confidence. Haters really are stupid!

That doesn't sound like something Seolhyun would say. She isn't usually as straight forward confident as that. Yes I know she got voted as the best body amongst idols by the idols themselves but she is still not the kind to straight out say it. I guess we have another idiot reporting lies. I know it's not impossible she said it but it is just completely against her character.

It really isn't a big deal. So one person is saying stupid little things. Even if they got 200 people listen to them, out of the huge amount of kpop fans in Korea and over the rest of the world, a couple hundred agreeing with this person is nothing. Look at NB. Even NB has more power than this idiot and NB is irrelevant. The only reason idiots like this one keep going is because ppl give them attention. Just ignore them and they will slither back into whichever slime filled pond them dwell in. Pics of Mina like this reminds us all that sheisn't just dorky but a true beauty also

Don't worry about the likes. Even the pathetic hater NB and her zombies can drum up a few hundred upvotes on all their hate filled articles about AOA but they are still all irrelevant and are only relevant by riding AoA's coattails . So 2 upvotes for this idiot is nothing!

Yes of course we would support Choa no matter what she did. But in the end it feels like Sungho likes conflict. Look at the history between himself and Hongki. They both openly insulted each other on shows because it got so bad and some of that was because FT Island wanted some independence to do their own thing. Which after all this time they have just started to do. Also I think Hongki has done about 7 or 8 OST's since about 2004 and he has one of the best voices in kpop imo. So it is obvious Sungho likes to be a dick when it comes to giving his idols what they want. Hopefully something will be sorted out for Choa because she is amazing!! Exactly. Not everyone will know Seolhyun. Only those whose lifestyles bring them into a situation where they hear her name. Probably a lot of older people will have seen her pictures in the shop windows as they walk past but wouldn't have taken much notice and certainly wouldn't know her name. They are more likely to remember actors more than idols, unless they listen to the music shows of course. I remember before I got into kpop I had never heard of SNSD, SJ, Exo etc. Just because I was in a place in my life that I was exposed to it. I like how this troll tried to make it sound even worse by trying to bring porn and genitals into it when there is no proof they would ever sing about that. So this idiot thinks that groups that sing about boys are destined to sing about porn etc? See this is the kind of stupidity there is no cure for because it runs too deep.

I don't know what it is with Han Sungho and his need to keep the talent as much in the company as possible. Maybe having that power of the lives of so many people makes him feel powerful or something. All I do know is that FNC try to keep the talents of the artists as internal as possible. The shame to that is that when they do perform outside the company they still do well. Out of Jimin's 3 #1's. All have been colabing with artists outside of FNC. Choa may not have done quite as well as Jimin but she did good and if FNC let her show her vocal off properly she would be huge. I have often said that it annoys me hearing people compliment Choa's fan service more that her vocal yet in a way it's understandable since FNC don't let her showcase her incredible talent as well as they should. So fking annoying! It sounds a little too busy to me. When I first heard Excuse me I wasn't sure and I actually disliked the dance. Maybe because it was being cute and AoA doing cute to me always looks a little strange. But the song and the choreo grew on me and i really like both now. So hearing this remix makes the song feel too busy. You can tell it doesn't go with the song originally because it feels disconnected with it. They did a good try but I think they made it sound too heavy and that made it unrealistic

I think Choa will get her solo if it seems enough people will be interested. One thing we do know about FNC is that they like their money. So if Choa could bring in a good enough profit she will get that solo trust me. Well it's good to know Hyejeong is confident in her body. Of course there will always be some idiots that try to make out more to this than is meant and try and say Hyejeong and Seolhyun don't get on but in the end just because Seolhyun is known for having a good body doesn't mean everyone else has a bad body by default. The fact Hyejejong realises this is a good thing! Our angels are good at winning people over if given a chance. Only people too far gone with their hate like NB and the NB zombies will never stop hating but they are so irrelevant they aren't a consideration.

Okay catching up a little Well done Ket. Very well done I must admit I was very impressed with Hyejeong. Although I guess I knew she could do it. think we have all heard that Hyejeong's voice keeps improving and this proved she could if needed, cover a lead singers part. She did really well!!

Another win I see. I am so happy to hear they have done it again. I do like the sound of tears falling from the eyes of the haters. It makes me smile lol. NB must be crying hard now!! That makes me so happy! Well done angels

It is good to see that FNC is having the same attitude with all it's groups. FNC has never been afraid to do a comeback with AoA no matter who is charting at the time. When AoA have done comebacks some of the biggest groups around right now have had a comeback around the same time. Looks like FNC are keeping that trend going with SF9. I wish them luck

I love it when Yuna reminds people just how stunning she is. She looks really good here!!
