  1. Am I scared of your ban, mod?

  2. Productive week.

  3. Click here to view the Tweet My rough English translation: A chicken Clear onion broth Mixed chicken soup (?) Concentrated onion soup I wore red to match the broth's color Please look forward to our Vapp broadcast at 11 PM tomorrow. (Ps: We ate the food before filming) Hayoung and her cute writing. Chorong's visuals though.
  4. Thank you for answering my question constructively, as opposed to others that did not. That has been my stance. For Apink to ensure a long career, they must need to promote in Korea. I do not think they can afford another 1 year Korean hiatus. There is much urgency of a Korean comeback to keep their momentum going, which others call that as "being whiny" when they fail to see the distinction between the short run and the long run More frequent Korean comeback (which has been the basis of this whole discussion) + Japanese promotion should seal the deal. What do you think, Snowy? The 1 year and 2 months hiatus was the example of putting all the eggs in one basket. Plan A was too focused in Japan, earning every bit that they can for the short run, while abandoning the Korean fanbase that primarily determines their career span If that is called being excessively whiny, then I do not know what to say. It really is not rocket science.
  5. On top of that, it is important to remember Apink is a Korean product in Japan. Without comeback, they are empty shells and they won't last long in Japan too. What are they going to sell in Japan without a Korean comeback? The same album over and over again? Either give up the Korean market already and fully migrate Apinj to Japan, or start making their Korean comeback more frequent, so that they can use their Korean comeback as an anchor to sell even better in Japan.
  6. I've reiterated 10 fucking times and all of you have failed to answer this simple question: What is the point of not giving up their Korean comeback if Japan is where all the money is? Do I have to dumb it down further for you? If you have fucking $100 dollar to invest in two stocks. A $50 dollar investment in Stock A gives a $150 return, and Stock B gives a $400 return. Why wouldn't anyone fully give up Stock A (the Korean market), and go for Stock B (the Japanese market)? Splitting half of your investment into both stocks would only yield you $550. While fully investing in Stock B yields a $800 return. Fucking goodness. And what is your expertise to justify my lack of knowledge when you are the one who is failing to understand a simple economic question.
  7. Stop contradicting yourself. You said earlier that Japanese promotions matters more than Korean promotions. You said that is because they earn little profit. We are talking about th Japanese and Korean market, not the international market. Regarding to your second point, it seems to me you fail to think logically. Money does all the talk. When there's a fortune that can be earned in Japan, common sense tells you to go there. Business is business; their end in goal, and Plan A's too, is to go with whichever decision that maximizes their profit - that is to promote in Japan. Don't mix emotions with business; it does not work. On a personal note, you wouldn't put your point 1 and point 2 as arguments on a business or economics essay your teacher tells you to write, right? Sent from my Apink Phone
  8. What does the 1 year and 2 months hiatus tell you? It's obvious the status quo is they care about the Japanese market. If you still don't understand how Plan A can cut all the Korean promotions, and leverage the expenditure from Korean promotions into the Japanese market, the logic here is that way they will maximize their profit. If we go about the popular assumption, here in this thread, that the Korean market earns little, it is not about having the best of both worlds. Sent from my Apink Phone
  9. But don't forget what they make in Japan is far more profitable than that of Korea. So why bother investing into the Korean promotions just for the charitable sake of keeping the loyal fans on IV drip? Sent from my Apink Phone
  10. What is the point of the sense of duty if a gold mine in Japan is waiting for Plan A? CFs, shows, acting all give them the most money, but the lack of Korean comeback will jeopardize the amount of deals the girls receive. Again, I am not condemning Japanese promotion because as I said and will reiterate that most of the money is there. But speaking rationally, I am going to throw this example again. "Let us say Plan A has only $20 to invest in Apink. The Japanese market is lucrative. Investing $10 in Japan will give them a $100 return. Whereas, the Korean market is not. Investing $10 in Korea will only earn them a mediocre $20. Then why won't Plan A completely use up their $20 investment in Japan? What is the point of even wasting your investment in Korea? Unless, you can prove to me there is an optimal amount of investment combining the two independent variables"
  11. Thank you for explaining yourself. My question is if Japan is where most of the money is, and Korean promotions bring little return — to the point of breaking even— as sleepyk said, then what is the point of having Korean promotions; it is tantamount to throwing money down the drain. Why doesn't Plan A focus solely in the Japanese market? To put it down with numbers and a bit of simple economics: Let us say Plan A has only $20 to invest in Apink. The Japanese market is lucrative. Investing $10 in Japan will give them a $100 return. Whereas, the Korean market is not. Investing $10 in Korea will only earn them a mediocre $20. Then why won't Plan A completely use up their $20 investment in Japan? What is the point of even wasting your investment in Korea? Unless, you can prove to me there is an optimal amount of investment combining the two independent variables
  12. As a Hong Konger, I gotta be the first to report this. 7 Hong Kong fansites raised around $1K USD (I read on the magazine article) to buy all of this for the girls. https://www.facebook.com/naeunhongkong/posts/1227161514066028 Hong Kong's local food 6 pair of silver chopsticks for each member with their name engraved on it.

  13. I want Eunji to feed me the oyster x3 I want Chorong to feed me the oyster x3 I want Bomi to feed me the oyster x3 I want Namjoo to feed me the oyster x3 I want Hayoung to feed me the oyster x3 I want Naeun to feed me the oyster x3
  14. The organizers uploaded an album of the Hong Kong concert on their Facebook page. ^ Look at those Eunji fanboard. Beautiful. I miss the girls so much. I really do.

  15. English Translation to this: ì‹ ì›ì² Our PANDAs today's weather is cool and warm at the same time. Thanks to PANDAs perhaps. Wish that everyone is happy. Soon the new semester will begin and everyone will face different experiences let's cheer up and walk together with Apink
  16. Sure, if you support the waiting game in Korea, they will be off the chart in no time. Cold truth is they will be replaced. This has nothing to do with loyalty, so don't go with your pathos justification of loyalty, because that does not work in Kpop. You want Apink to stay relevant, then comeback is the only way they can keep the fanbase steady. It's really common sense, that Plan A doesn't seem to get, how critical the next Korean comeback is to the girls. Attention must be paid; there is not much time left if Plan A does not endeavour to keep the girls relevant in the Korean pop industry. Sent from my Apink Phone What you are saying is analogous to this: Plan A flippantly watches the robbers rob the bank, but does nothing to stop it. We are the money (fanbase) inside the bank. We can remain united and loyal, but until Plan A stops the robbers, we will lose more and more money. Loyalty is appreciated, but it is not a practical solution. Hate to say this, but comeback is foremost and a prerequisite for loyalty to even EXIST.
  17. There's always the difference between the short turn and the long run. You don't know that Plan A is right now asking people to move on to the NGGs. If plan a is going to continue, might as well move them to Japan, start new, and retire them from the Korean industry. No Korean comeback for a year? Don't Fuck with me, mate Just cut all the Korean activities, and relocate to Japan. Sent from my Apink Phone
  18. She's concerned about the frequent Japanese promotions. Throwing 1 year of 2 months hiatus for the Japanese market? Smart move? I don't think so. Plan A acts as if they are done with in Korea.
  19. This is Pink Pandas begging Choi Jin Ho for a Korean comeback: https://www.facebook.com/9gag/videos/10155414042351840/ Very fitting.
  20. Thank you, girls.

  21. The girls are having an MTV Asia interview? Soon? https://www.facebook.com/mtvasia/photos/a.181304638555.124086.92473978555/10155108307768556/?type=3&theater
  22. You are right. We need Plan A's expenditure report to figure out, but that is confidential anyway? When will Apinj put a stop to their Japanese comeback and focus in Korea?
  23. I found a rare video of the girls' birthday message to Yookyung: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NUV3WC2R3Ep
  24. Cutest English accent and voice you can find on Earth. Only Park Chorong. Click here to view the Tweet
  25. I stalk Laura Santos every day
