Who?

Caption: Everyone, have happy Chuseok with your family! I also went to my hometown to spend time with my family! Eat a lot of Chuseok food!

Yeah, it's really good they're letting her have some social media, I was worried that they'll just keep her in the dungeon until debut. And Ryan Jhun promoted her on his Instagram:

Choyeon just opened official Instagram account! It's real, A Team also posted about it. Opening video: Translation: Hello, it's A Team trainee Kim Choyeon. In order to get closer to fans who support me I opened Instagram account! I'll be updating often, so please come here a lot! Thank you! First post: Caption: Because it's the first post, I chose picture that came out the best *scratches head* Next post: Caption: On the same day! Thank you for taking pretty pictures #still_awkward Oh, and about hashtags, she always includes her name, company, trainee, ChoCho (her nickname I mentioned in the previous post) and ChoChostagram, it's cute

When the teasers started, I was surprised that the MV is so bright (I mean colors, lights, outfits and so on) and I was wondering if it's really going to fit the song. But the storyline and some beautiful shots managed to capture the magic of Memoria. It looks like the theory about them being some kind of supernatural beings could be true, but they could also be ghosts who linger on Earth because they have something that doesn't let them move on (in this case they're looking for lost friends). I also really liked the parts of the choreo that were included, I hope we'll get at least some decent fancam when they'll perform it... It's a bit of a shame they still only have one event to promote Memoria + possibly some show they filmed in Japan, and they're already booked for events in Korea in October.

Hi! Choyeon was my one-pick during PD48, so I'm happy we can finally see her again. I couldn't find any translations of the video above, so I decided to make one myself. There are probably mistakes, because it's my first time translating just from hearing and English and Korean are not my native languages, so sorry about that If you see any errors, feel free to point them out! It took me almost six hours to finish (so one minute of her talking=one hour of me trying to make sense of it lol those are some pathetic stats I need to get better), so I don't know if/when I'll be able to translate more if there is more content, but for now, enjoy! Hello, I'm Kim Choyeon, 18-year-old trainee under A Team Entertaiment! We're beginning YSSCOM Q&A Interview! Q: Why do you want to be a singer? Originally I was tone deaf, bad dancer and had no sense of rythm, but because of my friend's recommendation I ended up going to to cram school, I had a chance to audition, and I gradually and naturally started to dream about becoming a singer. Q: What do you pay attention to when you're doing your make-up? (what's the special point) I think it's shade of lips. Because every weather has its scent, and if you smell that scent, different colors fit it, so I almost always use different shades. Q: What is your charming point? First, my bright smile through which I can make people happy, and how friendly/sociable I am. Q: Is there a singer/role model you look up to? I talked on broadcast about wanting to be like Chungha sunbaenim whom I really respect, and also lately I fell in love with a song called New Rules, so I started to like foreign artist Dua Lipa sunbaenim. Q: Your dancing is really good, how long have you been practicing? Formally I started when I started attending cram school, so it's been 7 years, but before that I was a member of (?) school club and learned there a lot, so together it's been more or less 11 years. Q: Which country do you want to visit the most and what do you want to do there? I want to visit Japan the most. My dream is to go there and meet all Japanese unnies and friends I made during Produce48 filming, and go with them to Disneyland. Q: You have a lot of personal talents, is there one you're developing now? Lately I've been developing seafood dance. First, seaweed dance and second, sea horse dance. *does the sea horse dance* Q: Trainee's life is exhausting, what's the best way to overcome it? I was alone in the dorm, so while moving there I just cried while listening to sad songs. I ended up crying for a bit (?), and that's how I dealt with that. Q: You're going to Hanlim Art School, were there other trainees you knew or were close to before going to PD48? First, Starship Jo Gahyun who used to train with me 7 years ago, and MNH Lee Haeun whom I knew before entering A Team Entertaiment , and WM Cho Yeongin with whom I went to the same school. Q: You're still a student, isn't it hard to be a student and a trainee at the same time? Because I want to be both a good student and a good trainee, it's still not that hard for me. Q: Is there a nickname your friends use for you? Friends from the company and school call me 초초 (ChoCho), I still don't really know why, but I like it. Q: Friends from Produce 48? Everyone was nice, but I was close to my VeryVeryVery and Handclap teams. My foreign friends were Goto Moe, Takeuchi Miyu unnie and Shitao Miu, and Korean friends - Yujin unnie, Eunchae unnie, Minseo, Gahyun unnie, Haeun, Haeyoon unnie. Q: What was the reaction of your family and friends after PD48? Before the broadcast, I actually kept it a secret, I didn't tell my friends or family... No, my family knew, but friends didn't. So after the broadcast they were surprised and they complimented me a lot and told me I'm the best. Q: Did your Japanese get better after PD48? When I was studying Japanese alone, I often had worries like'oh, how should I write it?', but when we were filming, Japanese unnies and friends helped me a lot, so I think it got a lot better. Q: The most regretful part of PD48? After having black hair I decided to change the style and dyed it red, and now I receive a lot of good comments, so I have this regret like 'wouldn't more people have loved me if I had had this style since the beginning?', but it seems like black hair also gave me more personality, so I don't regret it. Q: What was the song you wanted to do during PD48? Unfortunatelly I was eliminated, but I really wanted to perform Rumor. When I was practicing Rumor, I often heard that it suits me well and it seems like the dance style was similiar to mine. I can show you a bit. (dances to Rumor) Q: Please say a word to fans who are waiting for your debut! (not exactly sure, but something about how it's a pity she couldn't showcase all her charms during PD48) I will practice hard to be able to quickly stand on stage and show you more of my charm and talent. Until then please wait a bit more and support me! I love you! I answered questions asked by fans who were supporting me, how was it? Did it satisfy your curiosity? Because through this I was able communicate with you (literally 'share my heart'), I'm really happy. Until now, it was YSSCOM Q&A, the end!

This channel has a lot of usually pretty short subbed clips with Gfriend from radio or variety shows, and here is the second one, the most recent are 40+ minutes, but before that they have some shorter ones, like one, when Gfriend try to come up with as many personal talents as possible and in the process make their managers doubt their life choices (not for the first time) And I think it'd be a good idea to watch music videos and after that Behind The Scenes and Jacket Shooting, they're both usually about 20 minutes long and pretty fun. Especially Navillera and BTS were interesting to watch. And after they end promotions they also relase Promotions Sketch which is montage of funny or cute things that happened in the dressing rooms/during rehearsals/during fansigns and so on. There's also Vlive, but because it's live broadcast sometimes it is interesting and sometimes it isn't. They started their channel almost 3 years ago, so there is quite a lot there and it may seem like a drag to go through all of it (especially because we used to joke that it is not Gfriend broadcast if the connection was cut less than 3 times), so if you don't feel like this, you could just try to start keeping up with them from now on. More fun Vlives for me were: one in Santa Monica, one in the car, and maknae line in Japan. And at the very beginning there is also "Gfriend, where are you going? (ì—¬ìžì¹œêµ¬ ì–´ë”” 가수광)" series. Also, I don't know about you, but for me a big part of liking the group is watching their performances. I'd recommend this , this with SVT, Immortal Song (they have more, but I like this one the most), Summer Rain ballad, and if you're more into new music, all members except for Sowon have some collabs or solo works. It's getting long, so I'll end here~~

The outfits they wore today were really pretty! Also, this is so cute: Click here to view the Tweet

My Buddy/기억해, B-side on Flower Bud album

Oh, this is interesting! There were some cool ideas, but the 'bam bam bam' move looks a bit silly and doesn't really fit that well, and the dance break seems kind of wasted with them barely moving. On the other hand, the singer is doing a really good job, I'm glad we got to hear the demo And I just noticed they're wearing tags not with their own names, but Gfriend members' names, I'll watch it again and try to imagine how it'd look like on stage. Edit: Looks like there were some changes? During first verse Umji's part was split with Eunha, and Yuju was singing two lines instead of her + SinB.

Memoria is everything I wanted and more

Hi! I love this OST too, nowadays my playlist is just And I + Bumzu's I don't miss you + Raina's It's okay on repeat, it's a bit melancholic, but at the same time soothing, I feel like it suits this end of summer-early fall season really well

Soribada Awards, they got New Hallyu Icon Award and Bonsang (they're actually 3rd most streamed artist on Soribada chart, Loves know what they're doing!)

Congrats to our boys for winning two awards! Click here to view the Tweet Click here to view the Tweet

Our boys getting those gigs left, right and center First Jonghyun, now Aron on Problematic Man, Baekho on PD48, Ren as MC, not to mention this perfect OST (hoping for more of them!), upcoming Battle Trip, that show about cooking, Makestar photobook, new things from Hangten and Labiotte, promised comeback, we're just drowning in content This is exactly what I (and many others) complained about during Dejavu promotions, so hopefully the boys will be able to gain experience and try different things they were not really able to until now and it'll all lead to even better comeback next time with lots of variety shows guestings! https://instagram.com/p/Bm-wW3Cgep_/

Wow, I didn't expect to like And I this much, but it's just amazing, I can't stop listening

Happy birthday to Minhyun! Click here to view the Tweet Click here to view the Tweet

So they're going to ISAC... I hope they'll just stick to archery

Wow, you got to see Minhyun, must've been great And I wonder which Who you songs they're going to perform, obviously Dejavu, probably Polaris, but other than that... Gravity and Moon seems to be high on many fans wish list, same with Shadow (although it may be a bit hard to sing live, so it's possible they'll skip it), they also already sang Ylenol live, so maybe it'll be also included? And what about solo stages, are they going to perform their solo songs again or maybe do some covers? I'm excited just thinking about it!

Somewhere in Europe. Less kpop fans = more freedom to do whatever they want. In winter mountains are really beautiful, so maybe Switzerland or Austria? Also, last time Baekho couldn't go with them because of his vocal nodules, so it'd be a great experience for him since he loves traveling so much (and maybe it'd inspire him to write some songs?)

Oh my god he's so sweet Click here to view the Tweet Click here to view the Tweet Click here to view the Tweet

lol both JR and Ren posted about Baekho's birthday, meanwhile Aron's still doing lovestagram with Ren For that level of protection I'd expect Ren to at least upload another weird video https://instagram.com/p/BldYDmIHqF9/

Happy birthday, Baekho! Click here to view the Tweet

Until September? Click here to view the Tweet With all that's going on it feels almost as if the promotions didn't end
