  1. Mods, I don't know if I am the only user getting this, but if I turn off my NoScript extension, when I click on a OH page, a box pops up on my screen saying "redtube" with an option "OK" to click and it only disappears if I click "OK". Nothing happens apparently after I click OK but that's concerning anyway. I'm afraid of malicious scripts. I'll run a malware/anti-virus scan to be sure.

     

    The box doesn't appear when I turn on the NoScript but then I can't even post pictures. :(

     

    Could you show us a screenshot?

  2. Hi mods,

     

    I recently unfollowed some threads only to then re-follow them so that I could change the notification settings to daily digest. However, when I went to the notification options tab at the My Settings page I can't seem to check the box to select the notification method to use for followed topics/ forums daily/weekly digests? Is it possible to change it on your end?  smile.png

     

    Hi there,

     

    You should be able to check it now.

  4. The secret to how a company making 5 billion won a year could afford an endorsement deal with Girls’ Generation who cost 2.1 billion won

    The price of a Hallyu star’s ‘body’ is expensive. They can run up to billions of won for modeling gigs on advertisements. It is general knowledge that a company has to at least be a middle-sized company in order to hire a Hallyu star as their advertising model. But even a wig company with yearly sales of around 5 billion won and other small to middle-sized Korean companies are beginning to seek Hallyu stars as their endorsers. How could this be possible? Minister Yoon, Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, discussed this at a meeting of businesses supporting the vitalization of the export industry held on the 15th.

     

    - Running guarantees on advertising models

     

    A representative from Hair Couture, a company that was initially making wigs in America, Kim Minseok thought last year that in order to enter into the foreign market in areas such as China and Southeast Asia, it would be a good idea to use a Hallyu star as the company’s advertising models. The company went straight to SM Entertainment, the agency solely in charge of Girls’ Generation. SM demanded the company pay 2.1 billion won. This amount of money was over 40% of the wig company’s annual sales from 2013.

     

    Kim didn’t give up, and decided to try another direction. That direction was the idea of ‘running guarantee’. Since Kim did not have the funds at the time to afford Girls’ Generation as the company’s models, she would use the profits earned after the group’s endorsement deals to pay for the group. To present this idea to SM Entertainment’s board of directors, Kim used the example of Goobne Chicken, a brand Girls’ Generation was already endorsing at the time.

     

    Kim claimed, “Goobne Chicken sells about 100 million chickens in a year. Even Girls’ Generation’s contract with Goobne wasn’t a lump sum payment like it had been and instead, the group was based around receiving 100 won a chicken, Girls’ Generation would have earned over 10 billion won.â€

     

    SM Entertainment immediately signed a contract with Hair Couture, and assigned Girls’ Generation as the company’s endorsement models. It has been revealed that Girls’ Generation received somewhere between 3% to 5% of Hair Couture's sales. Since then, Hair Couture's sales have increased 60% in the last year, earning around 8 billion won.

     

    - Minister of Industry “this is what creates market economyâ€

     

    Kim started up an advertising agency called Star Collab that specializes in deals like this. As their first success story, they linked a small to midsized Vietnam company HNJ with Hallyu group SISTAR. SISTAR advertised the company’s sweatsuit line, and agreed to receiving 3-5% of the total sales.

     

    Even if smaller companies are able to score Hallyu stars as advertisers of their products, they are still unable to air television commercials for their products with the stars. That is why Kim thought up SNS and home shopping. Advertising through the celebrities’ SNS does not cost a lot, and because these celebrities are very famous, they can expect the product’s name to travel fast. Once the product’s existence and name is spread through the stars’ SNS, the company will then sell the products through home shopping networks. Home shopping networks also charge by the sales per hour.

     

    Representative Kim shared this success story at the meeting and said, “Small businesses can use the overwhelming power that Hallyu stars have to maximize their exports, while entertainment agencies discover a new way to increase their profits.â€

     

    Upon the end of Kim’s speech, Minister Yoon claimed this was the model for a Creative Economy.

    tl;dr: SM wanted more than 40% of Hair Couture's total sales revenue up front for Girls' Generation to sign as endorsers for their hair products. Hair Couture couldn't pay it, so they instead pushed for a contract where the girl group would earn a certain percentage of earnings, rather than a huge lump sum. This also meant no official television spots or professional photoshoots, but more advertising through SNS.

    1. [+4631,-98] This is honestly an obvious choice..

     

    2. [+3332,-72] Please stop media-playing with things like this

     

    3. [+2610,-119] ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ As expected

     

    4. [+2558,-97] She doesn’t even have influence on our nation;;

    6. [+608,-14] She should first try being one of the top 100 most influential people in Korea

     

    7. [+542,-16] Of course she’d get eliminated. It’d be complete nonsense for TIME if she made it

     

    8. [+533,-26] They’re going to get rid of their voting because of Korean netizens

     

    9. [+522,-23] So embarrassing.. How many times did people vote that she got #2 ã…‹ã…‹ And yet she still got eliminated ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ They knew that it was just Koreaboos swarming the polls ã…‹ã…‹

    1. [+1999,-231] They first came out with a lovely image, but now that they’re older, they are coming out as strong unnies

     

    2. [+2151,-663] This is something I feel every time I see Sunny but ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ I guess anyone can become a celebrity

     

    3. [+1321,-61] This is a Japanese comeback song but the article makes it sound like a Korean one ;;;; There’s no Korean promotions. It’s just a Korean version of a Japanese song

     

    4. [+1413,-316] Whenever SNSD comes out with a song where they try to act tough, I cringe. Am I the only one?

     

    5. [+773,-94] This is a Japanese comeback single. Please work hard and make a fool out of the anti-Koreans there

     

    6. [+643,-75] I wish SM would release full albums and repackages with SNSD and f(x) like they do for the boy groups

     

    7. [+427,-54] It looks like they’re not doing a separate Korean album or promotions. Japan’s nice but please comeback in Korea too

     

    8. [+625,-290] I like this concept ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

     

    9. [+397,-85] Why are people saying that SNSD is old now ㅋㅋ They’re all 25-27 years old, and it’s just barely been 9 years since their debut. There’s a lot of idols over the age of 30

     

    10. [+465,-231] I think this might do better than ‘Hoot’?? They’re at the peak of their beauty now too

    1. [+4217,-168] Even if her attitude is bad, there’s still people who want to see her so I guess she can still make a living

     

    2. [+3837,-163] If you’re going to use your pretty face like that, give it to me. Why do you act like that when you look like that

     

    3. [+3091,-71] I really don’t understand her

     

    4. [+2079,-94] She’s lost a lot of weight.. . .. .

     

    5. [+1923,-388] She really is pretty

     

    6. [+868,-62] Honestly, she looks better with that model than Choiza ã…Žã…Žã…Ž

     

    7. [+668,-33] Sulli just needs to fix her personality up a bit… She just hurt her teamㅠㅠ Sigh..

     

    8. [+554,-47] Since Amber is getting more popular, Sulli is starting to come back

     

    9. [+529,-31] For a girl, her beauty is really such a huge strength

     

    10. [+495,-24] She’s lost a lot of weight. But I don’t know why she’s stressing out. It’s her other members that should be stressing out

    SM Entertainment released a statement saying, “It is correct that BoA is currently preparing for her album. The schedule hasn’t been decided yet, but please anticipate a lot.â€

     

    1. [+1153,-154] I still listen to ‘Only One’

     

    2. [+848,-108] I’m really looking forward to BoA..

     

    3. [+653,-98] BoA is someone you trust and listen to

     

    4. [+630,-88] I’m totally looking forward to it

     

    5. [+593,-186] If you start liking artists from SM, you start liking every artist from SM.. I’ll be looking forward to it~ Please also show love for our Red Velvet.. 

     

    6. [+164,-31] She’s the major reason SM exists today

     

    7. [+142,-27] I like BoA when she’s feminine too.. Is it okay if I expect that? It’s just that it seems like her pretty face is going to waste ㅋ No more of her wearing baggy pants that look like she pooped in them and her dancing like a robot

     

    8. [+128,-27] She was the top female solo artist. ‘No. 1’ is a masterpiece

     

    9. [+97,-19] I’m a BoA fan and I’m really looking forward to her new album *-* 

     

    10. [+95,-24] Crazy….. finally!!!! The real artist is finally here!!!!!!!

    7. [+52,-10] I hope she doesn’t focus so much on performing that she has to lipsync. Just sing naturally. I like that BoA doesn’t take off her clothes for a sexy concept

     

    8. [+43,-5] When I was a kid, I used to sing ‘Valenti’ and was a fan of hers but now I’m 24..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I’m looking forward to her 15th year anniversary album this year

    1. [+10859,-92] I realized again today, Mnet’s ability to drag time out is so despicable

     

    2. [+6553,-157] Cheetah is so cool

     

    3. [+6029,-114] Congrats to Cheetah. Jessi did really well too. All the rappers worked hard

     

    4. [+5065,-124] All 9 rappers worked hard. It was really touching. Congrats to Cheetah!

     

    5. [+4351,-119] Cheetah is good ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

     

    6. [+1439,-49] The thing that I don’t understand at all is all the producers put a lot of energy and focus towards all 6 of the tracks. Why are they making it seem like the winner of the 6th track and the 6th track only is the main character of this show?

     

    7. [+1367,-101] Good ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s all really nice but why did they add MC Mong to this ㅡㅡㅋㅋ

     

    8. [+1266,-27] Mnet’s editing;;; They edited to make Jessi look like she didn’t like Kisum’s performance. They need to get rid of their malicious editing

     

    9. [+1110,-51] As expected, Cheetah!!! You could tell the difference class between her and the others in the first cypher. There’s probably almost no one who opposes Cheetah winning. She kept on surviving. Cheetah was really the best. She really deserved it

     

    10. [+1097,-41] Jessi in that white t-shirt and jeans looked really good

    5. [+1142,-34] I love you Cheetah unnie ㅜㅜㅠㅠㅠ♥♥♥

     

    6. [+211,-28] I can see why Jessi has so many fans. She’s honest and isn’t fake. She seems really strong but she has a soft heart. I’ve become a big fan

     

    7. [+185,-10] Jessi was cool til the end. Cheetah was so good. Jjang

    1. [+1127,-34] Cheetah’s rhyme was so good

     

    2. [+1153,-172] I was so freaking moved by Yuk Jidam’s lyrics.. She really is the Mildang girl of hip hop…. She’s already so developed. If she was the other unnies’ age, she would’ve been a rap genius

     

    3. [+822,-32] Cheetah seems like she’s got good character. And she’s so talented. The real hip hop winner~~~~

     

    4. [+844,-104] Cheetah’s song is so good. The song with Ailee is really good too. I personally like Jessi more, but Cheetah is really amazing.

     

    5. [+721,-25] Wow. Cheetah is so cool

     

    6. [+523,-32] The real winner was MC Mong who made a slight return to television

    6. [+372,-16] It wasn’t like her rapping skills were amazing, but there was something about her performance that I liked.. I didn’t think I’d cry but I did

     

    7. [+355,-56] In terms of skill, Yuk Jidam is better.. but hip-hop is also music.. at the end of the day, it needs to be able to move people’s hearts.. Yuk Jidam is the better rapper but in terms of lyrics or matching with the audience, Kisum is the winner

    In the teaser, Cheetah seems disappointed, Jimin is smiling, but they are still faced away from the screen. about 200 audience and Jimin's 1st number in the votes seems to be 1. No reaction from AOA or Cheetah's mum shown.

    Jessi wins Jolly V, by >>>>>

    Jolly V, Jessi and Cheetah have all brought their mums, Jimin brought her members and Iron, so she only rapped half of the time.

    Next Episode, Kisum VS Jidam. Jessi gives tips while Jidam is practicing, and Kisum seems threatened. Kisum is later seen being hugged and encouraged by Cheetah, who then sits beside a laughing/smiling Jimin. They seem ok now. 

    That's all folks! 

     

     

     

     

    wait.. so it was Jimin vs Cheetah again? I'm confused... Doesn't the 4 tracks released mean that those 4 won?

    Summary: On the latest episode of ‘Hello, Counselor’, a girl who is 160cm tall and weighs 70kg came on the show to express her stress over her mother telling her to lose weight everyday. The girl said, “I like the way I look. I’m content with it. I like all of me. I never feel pressured by myself to lose weight. Others say losing weight is the right thing to do, but I don’t understand why that is pretty. I have other positive traits, so why is it that people are always judged based on their body?â€

     

    She continued, “Up to this day, the only thing I’ve heard from my mom is ‘fat’. First, whenever she looks at me, she lets out a sigh and asks me, ‘Eating again?’ and says, ‘Do you want to live with that stomach?’ I’ve never even heard her tell me to study. My mom doesn’t care about how I live, she only cares about my body.â€

     

    (160cm is about 5'3", and 70kg is about 154 pounds.)

     

    –

     

    1. [+1824,-108] I’m envious of that girl and her high self-confidence. I want to become a person who loves myself only and doesn’t feel judged by other people’s eyes.

     

    2. [+909,-344] Loving yourself for you is good but I think listening to others carefully is also good. When you’re young, you’re beautiful no matter how you look but once a little bit of time passes, you won’t be able to lose weight even if you try and it will become a problem for your health

     

    3. [+538,-23] She spent 4 years getting a scholarship and getting into a good school, but because she didn’t lose weight, she was seen as someone who didn’t take care of herself. That’s sad. I don’t know if the people judging her has studied as much as her, gotten into a good university like her, and taken care of herself that way as much as her. Even if her weight becomes a health issue, this is the road she’s chosen so I’m sure she’ll take care of it on her own. People worry too much

     

    4. [+120,-7] If you’re happy living like that, you can just keep living like that. What’s all the fuss?

     

    5. [+101,-8] It’s not detrimental to her health right now, and she does what she needs to do.. Is there a problem?

     

    6. [+87,-4] If your weight isn’t harmful to your health, dieting is just part of your own belief. We need to respect everyone’s individual decisions to stay skinny, thin, or fat, and I find it unfortunately that when it comes to taking care of yourself, our nation thinks that only means taking care of your body and exercising. It should also include reading books and gaining knowledge. If your empty-headed and yet you spend a lot of time focusing on your body and working on your abs and getting surgery to improve your appearance, that’s considered taking care of yourself. And yet, if you gain recognition in your career or professional field and work extremely hard to gain acknowledgement, but you have a bit of fat or if your looks are average, you’re seen as someone who doesn’t take care of themselves. It’s not just your looks or just your career, but taking care of yourself means improving everything about yourself. More than anything, I think if you’re living a life in which you love yourself, you’re living a good life

     

    7. [+80,-5] I watched the show and it’s not that she can’t lose weight. She says if she sets her mind to it, she can lose it, but she has high confidence so I don’t think she needs to lose weight. People just care too much about others

    1. [+763,-122] Upvote this if you just want to sleep one more hour in your warm blankets^0^

     

    2. [+617,-11] Their last concept was way too explicit

     

    3. [+596,-16] ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Stellar ended up not having any popularity so they completely changed their concept

     

    4. [+573,-14] Their last song was ‘Marionette’ right? It was labeled sex appeal but they revealed everything ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ But they still couldn’t succeedㅠ Please find your own individual charms. Stop trying to do everything sexy

     

    5. [+343,-8] Ah.. I see

     

    6. [+60,-2] Inter-Stellar is more famous than them

     

    7. [+41,-5] Please stop taking off clothes. Everyone is annoyed by it

     

    8. [+36,-1] ‘Marionette’ was honestly…. hm… to much

     

    9. [+38,-3] Stellar really took off everything.. They came out wearing clothes you could only see in porn.. ã„·ã„· But other artists got all the hate.. It was Stellar who truly took off everything, and the other artists still wore clothes but just did raunchy gestures.. But Stellar was the one who truly took off everything and yet they quietly got forgotten about

     

    10. [+36,-2] Good job changing the concept. Don’t even try something like that previous concept

    2. [+1922,-37] Is she playing mildang with Photoshop? “I’m hiphop’s Mildang girlâ€
    (T/N: ‘Mildang’ means ‘to tease’ or play hard to get. This is her famous line from when she was on Show Me the Money.)
     
    3. [+1670,-62] I wish people with bad pasts wouldn’t come on TV. It hurts the victims. She needs to take the time to reflect
     
    4. [+1328,-32] Isn’t she that girl that tortured the other kids.. She’s trying to clean up her image. I thought she got a bunch of hate and just disappeared
     
    5. [+899,-38] Did she always look like that?

    9. [+360,-4] Too much Photoshop ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

    1. [+1092,-117] What kind of watch commercial looks like a lingerie commercial~ ㄷㄷㄷ But as a girl, it does look sexy. But the watch doesn’t grab my attention at all. I couldn’t see it
     
    2. [+880,-59] This is supposed to be a commercial for watches but you can’t see watch ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ
     
    3. [+773,-270] Tiffany has the look where you just get happy watching her. Her eye smile is the best. She’s pretty and her body is beautiful
     
    4. [+599,-126] Is Tiffany still meeting Nichkhun?
     
    5. [+645,-193] Why are people saying that her face is all you can see because it’s so big? Her face is all you can see because she’s so pretty.. Koreans who stay busy just hating..
     
    6. [+555,-157] I know Yoona is prettier but guys tend to like girls like Tiffany more. She’s got aegyo, eye smiles, and she looks like she’s got a hint of sexiness
     
    7. [+319,-83] Tiffany is kind and pretty. I like seeing her always smiling
     
    8. [+333,-100] I wish Tiffany would go back to short hair. I think that was her peak
     
    9. [+362,-132] I guess SNSD is starting to take off their clothes too now..
     
    10. [+249,-69] You can’t help but smile when you see Tiffany! Pretty

    “When I first got casted for ‘Unpretty Rapstar’, I felt a bit of pressure. I couldn’t just go on the show without being prepared. I thought about going on ‘Show Me The Money 3’ but I ended up deciding not to. Thinking about it now, maybe I should have gone on it. I was worried a lot before going on ‘Unpretty Rapstar’, but the more I’m on it, the more fun I have."

     

    i0bONsI.jpg

     

    "I’m honestly worried about how I’ll come off. At first, my image came off so strong. Honestly my appearance can sometimes come off as scary. But, in reality, my heart isn’t like that. If you want the show until the end, you can see my true personality. I’m a human too, so although i showed you this forceful personality at first, the more you get to know me, you can see that I’m playful and fun. You’ll see me go through hard times, but also laugh and take care of others. Although I do worry how I will end up being portrayed.

     

    I actually now am thankful that I got disqualified for the Zico mission in the first mission. If I had done a track with Zico, I might not have gotten the second track. It’d have been weird if I won too often. Thinking about it now, I think it was right for me. I was so surprised at how well ‘My Type’ did. I thought, ‘How did this do so well?’… But I was so happy. Zico and I know each other very well. I think there will be another opportunity later."

     

    PJx7lGP.jpg

     

    "Honestly, it’s not that Lil Cham and I have a bad relationship. I didn’t know anything the first or second episode. These girls had all gathered around, and we didn’t know each other. And yet we had to be in competition mode. And it’s not that Lil Cham didn’t do well, it’s just that I got eliminated so she became a target. And that ‘diss’ was when I was upset and disappointed. I just wanted to show them something. We had to write the lyrics to [the cypher] 30 minutes before shooting, and I was really upset. Lil Cham could have done better, but she was more focused on her face so she seemed weaker. Lil Cham and I don’t have a bad relationship. We contact each other often.

     

    I am a main vocal. Rap is #2. I’ve never battled like this before. I have confidence every time we battle, but it hurts me whenever I have to cuss and stuff. When they say I have to battle with another person, I wonder what I can write about them. I can’t go off too strong… I do think during battles, I think about the other person and go softer. And then I get shocked when that other person goes so strong. I do feel sorry every time we have to diss. It’s not that I really hate that other person. It’s just that it’s a rap battle. Those aren’t my true feelings.

     

    Honestly, at first, it was hard. And I had a lot of regrets. I was showing my true self, but of course there was editing. But I am thankful that there are people who are showing me love for exactly who I am. It was hard, but I feel like I’m being rewarded now. I want to work harder."

     

    8KQbUEX.jpg

     

    "I think of ‘Unpretty Rapstar’ as the beginning. I’ve done music for such a long time now, and yet the general public doesn’t really know about my music yet. So when this is over, I really wanted to show people the music I want to do. I was only able to show you my rapping so far, but I want people to see me as a musician. I’m going to work hard until when people listen to my songs, they say, “It’s Jessi!’

     

    Thank you for showing lots of love, and I will work harder. ‘Unpretty Rapstar’ is not the end for me. Please show me lots of love from now on as well, and I will return with better music. Please anticipate it.â€

     

    –

     

    1. [+5460,-111] Unpretty Rapstar has been about the rediscovery of Jessi

     

    2. [+4935,-112] This noona doesn’t make personal attacks when she’s doing rap battles, and I guess she had her reasons ㅋㅋㅋ

     

    3. [+3253,-73] Ah~~~ I’m scared of her

     

    4. [+3242,-75] I like people like her who have to work hard and suffer a lot to just get her name out there and who are thankful for their fans, rather than stars who in just one moment turns into a star and doesn’t know how important their music, performances, and fans areㅎ I’ll be looking forward to seeing her more! I’ll always support you^^

     

    5. [+2566,-59] I really really like her~ She’s cool^^

     

    6. [+460,-10] But really, if you see Unpretty Rapstar, you can see how weak Jessi is in rap battles.. I think they’ve done it twice now, but she doesn’t talk bad about the other members.. I was curious why she was being so soft, but it’s because her heart is like that

     

    7. [+437,-16] The second generation Yoon Mirae isn’t Yuk Jidam. It’s Jessi!

     

    8. [+392,-11] People like her are super loyal once you get to know them. She’s just really honest, it’s not that her personality is bad

     

    9. [+350,-6] “Listen carefully, midget. I’m your unnie.â€

     

    10. [+329,-7] I don’t know how tenderhearted she is, but seeing how she looks after Yuk Jidam, how she holds hands with Cheetah while listening to raps, and looks at Jimin like a proud mother, I see a new side of her and she really seems like a warmhearted person

    Summary:

     

    In a survey conducted by KAIT (Korean Association of Information & Technology), 56.1% of Koreans admitted to not being able to last a week after losing their cellphones. 16.1% claimed they could last over a month. The results of the survey basically showed that the contemporary citizen of Korea has a hard time imagining a world where they have to live one day without a cellphone. It is suggested that Koreans will buy a new phone within 1 week rather than waiting past the week to find their phones again.

     

    The journalist who wrote this article is almost low key condescending towards those who cannot wait past a week and they suggest that you wait to get your old phone back rather than buying a new one.

     

    –

     

    1. [+6687,-119] This article’s title is making it sound like “If Koreans can’t use their cellphones for a week, they grow very impatientâ€, but journalist, do you think you can last an entire week without a phone and still do your job?

     

    2. [+4526,-129] The chance of you finding your phone after losing it is 0.1%. You want to waste your time doing that?

     

    3. [+3841,-57] I wish they would bring actual statistics on how many people find their phones after losing them… Yes, the primary problem is the person losing the phone, but aren’t you aware of the system that is in place right now, not only here but abroad, of cellphone stealing, trading, and selling? You’re focusing too much on this as if people go through withdrawal symptoms without having a phone

     

    4. [+3705,-63] One week would be too much ã…‹ã…‹

     

    5. [+2504,-46] ㅎㅎ Of course they can’t wait… You can be patient and not use the phone, but the fact that someone else out there is using your phone… You can’t let them steal your information. They can use it for anything they want ㅎㅎ

     

    6. [+544,-10] Journalist, what are you going to do if you lose your cellphone and at the very moment, your editor is trying to find you?? Do you want to whine that you lost your phone so you can’t tell his call??

     

    7. [+435,-6] ㅋㅋㅋ Let’s try making this journalist lose his phone ㅋㅋ

     

    8. [+371,-5] This reminds me of those articles back in the day that were talking about violence in PC games and trying to put down PC cafes

     

    9. [+269,-8] “We need to put more focus on finding our old phones rather than buying new ones†ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Go ahead and put in your effort to that~ You think it’s because of the lack of effort that people are doing that? Even before you report it to the police, your phone is practically already in China… I’m so frustrated at this article.

     

    10. [+246,-8] Is the current cellphone like the home phone from back in the day? Please keep up to date with the generation and times. Don’t complain just to complain

    How long can you last without a phone?

  17. I'm definitely missing some juicy info, holy shat what did Jolly V say that almost made Tymee commit suicide? Can someone fill us (or me) in? What's the "truth" knetz are talking about?

     

    I don't know the entire context, but I know that Tymee went through a lot with her previous company when she was promoting as E.via. The agency didn't treat her well, stole her money, and changed her sound. Her Wikipedia article about it is pretty rough to read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tymee. Jolly V in her diss track dissed how Tymee had sold her soul and wasn't a true hip hop artist.

    **SPOILERS**


     

    GYDDR4f.jpg

     

    1. [+6177,-380] Do you have to cuss in order for it to be hip hop???? I…. was uncomfortable

     

    2. [+4812,-118] It seemed like the producers forced them to diss each other

     

    3. [+4294,-167] They asked them to rap and yet they’re cussing and fighting and going crazy

     

    4. [+2961,-234] All variety show shoots are full of swearing so..

    (TN: In reference to Lee Taeim and Yewon’s recent fight on set of a variety show.)

     

    5. [+2472,-1073] Miryo should’ve been on the show, not Jimin

     

    6. [+595,-14] This kind of diss shouldn’t have been done on television… Why did Meta put up against the two of them when they were just fine doing nothing… This was definitely the writer’s orders. If not, I really don’t get it… Honestly, if they really wanted to fight, they would’ve fought a long time ago, not wait until now.. It’s definitely to increase the ratings.. I really don’t get why they made two rappers who failed the first mission anyway go up against each other…

     

    7. [+440,-13] I don’t know why those who do hip hop only cuss. Yoon Mirae doesn’t cuss, and yet she’s still plenty cool and can rap really well

     

    8. [+451,-27] If Lee Taeim was there, it would’ve been peaceful

     

    9. [+415,-21] Are all Korean hip hop people ill?

     

    10. [+343,-15] Do you look cooler if you diss? Why do they keep doing disses?

    1. [+4730,-560] Ah, I really hate Jolly V..

     

    2. [+3608,-329] All that cussing made it uncomfortable. Jolly V did better in the diss battle, but I end up support Tymee more

     

    3. [+3517,-308] If I was Tymee, I’d hate Jolly V acting like that too

     

    4. [+2380,-272] It was fun, but Jolly V and Tymee, do you think hip hop is about dissing each other using personal insults? Was a diss always about an attack on someone else’s character? Jolly V, you shouldn’t rub salt on other people’s wounds~ Tymee, other than that one diss about Jolly V’s vocalization and pronunciation, everything was about her appearance.. Still, Tymee’s from a young age been doing underground rap. She has been through a lot, and she’s got those extra years of experience. Please show us a better side. Also, writers? You fucking shits~ The show is fun, but don’t rip apart people’s hearts

     

    5. [+1289,-54] I do agree that Jolly V is making hip hop dirty. It seemed like Kisum was influenced by Jolly V’s diss song or something because she said something about Jessi being from Itaewon.. Why would she mention that? I think it’s messed up to dig deeper into other people’s weaknesses and insecurities like that

     

    6. [+768,-56] If you didn’t know anything, you’d think Tymee was a psycho. But if you knew the truth, you’d hate Jolly V ㅋㅋ

     

    7. [+745,-48] Honestly, if I was Tymee, I would have been pissed too. It seemed like she didn’t even want to associate with Jolly V… 

     

    8. [+745,-76] Jolly V’s rap was so trashy and shameful. I really hate her square jaw

     

    9. [+673,-34] Jolly V is one of the rappers who are ruining the culture of dissing. She doesn’t even have the skills to be a wannabe. Even her motives for dissing are wrongㅋㅋㅋ She just wants to get her name known ㅋㅋ

     

    10. [+631,-24] ‘both hurt’? Only Tymee got hurt. And Tymee is the only one who has to be patient. The two of them are in different situations. Tymee was trying to forget a situation that made her want to commit suicide. Jolly V is doing whatever it takes to bring that pain back again.

    Summary: Netizens through SNS have been talking about how ‘My Type’ from ‘Unpretty Rapstar’ sounds very similar to Omarion’s ‘Post To Be’

     

    –

     

    1. [+1167,-80] So what ended up happening to ‘All About That Bass’ plagiarizing Joo Young Hoon and Disney plagiarizing Infinite?

     

    2. [+879,-187] Korean hip hop artists bluff all the time, and then end up stealing other people’s songs.. do they not have a conscience?

     

    3. [+598,-133] When a Western pop song sounds like a Korean song, all these netizens don’t care. They just say that the melody sound kind of similar, but that in conclusion, they don’t sound all that alike. When a Korean song sounds like a Western song, then they all cry that it’s plagiarism

     

    4. [+418,-145] I can’t really hear it..? I just discovered another good song through this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hope both songs are successful

     

    5. [+74,-20] I don’t think they sound similar

     

    6. [+58,-6] People are going crazy over a single song from Verbal Jint sounding like another song, but artists like Dok2 have so many songs that sound similar and yet there are no articles about them because they’re underground and all their fans quiet others down ㅋ

     

    7. [+63,-12] Honestly, if you want to break it down like this, there’s at least 80 Korean hip hop songs that are plagiarism 

     

    –

     

    Do you think they sound similar?
