why

I was lurking but I was also just watching this video right now, do you think Eunji is capable of supporting lower than that? @26:31

not really, kim sungkyun just looks old for his age. him and go joonhee are only 5 years apart. eunji and jingoo though...lol. i'm really excited for this drama since i watched secret forest and got into crime dramas.

I think the drama films in Busan since the location director keeps on posting photos in Busan. I'm sure Eunji loves filming Untouchable because she gets to work and see her family and hometown friends when she's not shooting. I'm sure they pre-arranged the drama shooting schedule around her events. These lotto promotions are such a great opportunity too since it's for a worthy cause - if she had to stop shooting for something, I'd rather it be to help out some elderly people and since the performance is the same day it works out.

uh if hyuk is her love interest that will make the 2nd drama where chorong has to kiss one of namjoo's best friends (if there is a kiss of course)

Right when I saw the teaser I knew this was going to turn out to be a problem. Just because the intention wasn't there doesn't mean that it isn't still hurtful to some people. Although I don't think she had the intention and I think that the blame lies primarily on SNL and their producers and writers, you cannot speak on their behalf. The company should release a statement and apology for participating in the skit and I hope i-fans push them to do in a very clear way so that they can learn from this mistake and not make it again. Don't defend blindly, acknowledge the mistake, correct it and move on. Blackface is a sensitive topic but the public in Korea and many other Asian countries are still very ignorant of this - which is understandable given their insular nature and history. Kpop is no longer just limited to Korea and while this probably won't impact their Korean fans, I don't want this to hurt them moving forward.

bomi/namjoo are better at the straight slapstick/comedy varieties like WI and with reactions and eunji is better at the interview/speaking varieties. she's really witty with her words and that can sometimes be lost in translation. it makes apink overall a well rounded group in variety.

honestly there's not that much to complain about i think. they spent a good amount of time talking about their group and how bada basically handpicked eunji to join because of her personality and humbleness. i think that says more than eunji talking about her solo or acting career. considering she's by far the least senior of all the guests, she got a good amount of screentime.

This guy looks like he's a friend of Raymond Chae. They all probably got brunch together in LA when Eunji was here. Not sure if Eunji met Raymond Chae through Song Hye Kyo or her model friends?!

it looks like eunji had brunch with raymond chae and his friends in LA. raymond chae is pretty much the top fashion stylist in korea and is close friends with song hye kyo, yoo ah in, and song joong ki. eunji has some crazy a-list connections! not to mention she also seems to be hanging out with a lot of top korean models lol

i love this track also, i wish she did a double title release https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYIPplETjkk

well, certain exercises in general are supposed to help strengthen and gain flexibility so you don't injure it again. it's actually good to exercise. i sprained my ankle and went to a physical therapist and they want you active and exercising, just in the right way. it's a possibility that she went to the hotel gym and because she was by herself and not with a trainer that something happened or it was just a freak random accident that caused the injury.

I think she went to the wedding too: https://www.instagram.com/p/BSAN5MHAdTh/?taken-by=man2cure&hl=en That picture is outside and she's wearing a different suit! Wonder why she changed...Jisook and Solbi are wearing the same outfits from the wedding press photos. And she's next to Ali too <3

A good friend from Busan. It looks like he's signed to Pastel Music, which is an AMAZING indie record label in Korea. I really hope Eunji collaborates with him or any other Pastel artists. But she promoted his singles before and also I saw a picture of him at one of the Apink concerts. NGL the music coming out of Pastel is better than most kpop for me.

I'm thinking Eunji might push her comeback to beginning of May and Apink in June. Since they're coming to LA for the KTMF, maybe they'll shoot their album pictures or even the MV (hopefully) over in the US! That would be such a great change for them.

My guess is that Plan A is really aiming for April for Eunji, and in May for Apink if everything goes as planned. April is going to be a really tough month for a comeback with IU and Psy (there are other strong comebacks as well, YG said Hyukoh is coming back and Winner/IKON too and probably others). Right now Eunji's solo has a better chance at going head to head with them digitally, and they probably want to have Apink do as well as possible so they are probably going to try to find the best timing for the comeback where they have a good chance to do well digitally and physically around May/June. At least that is what I'm thinking for their strategy.

I think originally it was supposed to air online or something anyway - wasn't it some kind of KBS World mini special? It was never a primetime drama to begin with, so I believe that if they don't reschedule the time slot, it will be aired online. At least that is what I hope.

i would agree if it was a post on a forum or on NB or something that a lot of people see and discuss, or even if it's a user with a lot of friends/followers or one of the big kpop twitter users. that person was basically irrelevant on twitter so in this case i think it would have been better to ignore. there are a lot of immature stans and that comes with a lot of kpop fans being like 15 years old.

lol it all started from literally one person who said something about eunji vs. apink and then everybody got all up in arms. i mean that one twitter user was being annoying but everyone got super defensive really fast. people also need to chill and realize that blowing things up is making it worse. there are annoying stans of every member, they can't let just one person get to them this way or else it makes the whole fandom look bad. like just ignore the tweet, it's not like that person had many followers or was relevant anyway. retweeting and making a big deal out of things makes it worse.

TBH Eunji's solo doesn't take a lot of company resources at least not compared to launching a new boy group. She can be almost self sufficient - I personally think she has enough connections to get producers/songs sent to her, not to mention she is writing/co-producing herself. She probably can get invited to variety shows on her own without the company working too hard. She doesn't need choreography and she can probably record a song in a few takes. It's more about finding the time in Apink's schedule to do 2-3 weeks of promotion. Naeun was filming her drama at that time so it was unlikely that Apink were going to come back in April anyway, so that's probably why they were able to fit it in there. If anything took up company resources this year, it's Victon. Debuts are a huge amount of company resources as they need to get their name out as much as possible and that probably takes a lot of negotiation and work, plus trying to produce a strong debut. For Apink to find the time to do 2 comebacks, what they really need to do is hold off on the Japanese and overseas promotions a bit honestly, NOT to hold off on individual activities in Korea. Individual activities (as long as its in Korea) would still help the group.

Yay more awards, but I still find this weird because Bomi/Taejoon are a very average couple? I was hoping for more of her variety personality to shine, but they have been very low key. Like plain, normal WGM scripted. They don't seem to have some sort of character It's good they are so low key so there isn't any of the ridiculous fallout that Naeun/Taemin had but also literally nobody talks about them either. It's both bad and good. Bad because I thought there would be more public interest, but good because you don't get the crazy shipping and hating that goes along with being a popular WGM couple.

i think that's backstage for the movie premiere she went to. i think she went to support uhm jiwon (old childless comfort co star) and she took a proof shot or all the people that came to support her that night

it sounds like it will be broadcast through kbs world (not public broadcast) and probably online and it's a korean language learning drama/sitcom. but it does sound like she's the lead.

eunji is a better show host in general especially for interviews and talk shows - she knows how to speak her mind and is really engaging. the show could have definitely been planned better, but i assume there wasn't much preparation that went into this given all the other stuff. personally, i think there should have only been one topic - i found the korean traditional drumming/dancing the most interesting topic but people seemed to dislike the guest the most only because he seemed to take over the show - although it would be interesting what koreans think about it. however, bomi and namjoo had overall better topics (more focused on 1 thing) and much more engaging guests. namjoo's teacher was really good - she is an acting teacher after all, and bomi's MLT was especially good because they were able to project the "loveline" between her and her guest (right after all the olympics so that was a huge get) - TV is all about creating a narrative.

this stage is obviously 100% live. everyone even naeun/chorong are using very little or no backtrack in this performace

THIS IS THE CONTENT I WAS LOOKING FOR - Lee Jehoon, Seo Inguk, Hoya, Son Hojun, and Siwan <3 Not to mention Shin PD
