I just heard that Nicole is going to be leaving Kara and isn't going to be renewing her contract at DSP and that got me worried. Do you think anyone in 2NE1 will leave when their contract comes to an end??

Here's a video of Exo-m's performance at the Shanghai music festival http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XNjE2MTU4NjEy/v.swf

It stopped for me as well. Try the link at ygladies

Someone posted this link on an allkpop forum so I though I'd reposted this here in anticipation of CL and GD's performance http://vimeo.com/75512462

Its not as irrevelant as it seems. It shows whether your fanbase is growing or not. Take exo for example. Before their comeback, they had about 40k fans in their fan cafe (maybe even less than that, I'm not 100% sure). Now they have almost 100k and this is all with a fancafe that isn't even legit. It obvious from these numbers that exo's fanbase grew by a substantial amount. I'm pretty sure that 2NE1 doing the IATB era had over 100k fans in their fan cafe- don't quote me on this but their numbers since then has reduced. Usually the people who are signed up for the fan cafes are the ones who are going to be buying your album smaller you fan cafe number the smaller your album sales.

. This a reply to an old comment. Although 2NE1's daum fan cafe numbers has decreased, they still have the second highest fan cafe number for a girl group. f(x) with their comeback were gained alot of fans on their daum cafe and are still increasing on a daily basis. 2NE1 on the other hand loses a very small percentage of fans on the daum cafe everyday even with their new comeback. What I think happened with 2NE1's comeback was that they did gain more fans, most noticeable of the male sex but they're still losing more fans than they're gaining and it makes me sad :C

Here's a translation of the interview that Chen had with ize magazine Even while tying his shoes, he hums the <Super Mario> BGM, while waiting for his turn, dancing to the music playing, Chen is one that matches his nickname of ‘funky funky Chen.’ While having pride in the result of his hard work, while judging himself objectively and while playfully reacting to the members’ stories you can see that he completely understands the true essence of the others’ words and that side makes you assume that he has hidden wick in him. The reason why the words a man with a kinda heart comes to mind is because of that. Chen. He was born in September 21, 1992. Although I like joking around, I think I am different than Baekhyun and Chanyeol. (laughter) These friends really have the power to talk from morning to dawn. When we film a music video, we really don’t sleep for the whole night but seeing that they went to the end, I was surprised. (Baekhyun: Although I’m the type to get tired really quickly, if I stay still I come back alive. Haha!) The members say that I am ‘funky’ but my funkiness that I think of is my rascal like actions. Because I am in charge of the high notes as a main vocal, I try really hard to always be able to let out a nice tone. First, I start from the low notes and slowly go higher to release my neck from tension. And in order to not let my lips go chap, I go up on stage after taking a drink of water. A while ago I went to Han River for a bit and I was intrigued because a lady asked me, "You’re EXO right? My daughter really likes you.†A few members were with me at the time but the person I think she recognized was…me, really! (laughter) I think it’s thanks to KBS <Immortal Song.> On the first stage I sang 'Really I Didn't Know' with Baekhyun, but because it is a delicate ballad song, while practicing we discussed a lot. While trying to understand the lyrics’ emotions and making it to one, by discussing everything from I’ll sing it like this at this part, you sing it like at that part, the time because 5 in the morning. I like the movie <Avengers.> If I can choose one amongst the characters, I want to become Thor. It is because I want to be able to control thunder as much as I want. I call D.O ‘shortie' sometimes but I am no…t afraid of D.O's ice punch. Because the fact that D.O is a shortie is true! (laughter) I have an older brother so I thought what it would be like to have ayounger sister, but even if I had a younger sister, I think if she did anything rude I would severely scold her. I would then make her understand why that deed was wrong and reason with her. If I could migrate earthlings to EXO planet, besides a singer, I want to become a college student that ordinarily has a part-time job and raises his own spending money. source: Ize translation cr; nahbit @ exok-trans

I kind of agree with you. I mean if dara was going to fix something, she would fix her nose but she never did. I kind of admire her for it because it means she's comfortable in her own skin. She also still has that beauty mark in her leg that I'm pretty sure could have fixed easily. Edit: I meant birthmark

I agree with you about the concert. I pretty sure that FIL and DYLM would have been better received by the public if it was promoted last year and even if it wasn't, blackjacks wouldn't seriously considering that 2NE1 may be disbanding soon. Also because the tour took place so suddenly many fans didn't have enough time to buy the tickets which led to some concert venues not being as full as they could be. IMHO I think the only reason YG had the tour was because he wanted to be able to brag about 2NE1 being the first kpop girl group to have a world tour (if that's what you can call it). You're also right about Big Bang, Lee Hi, Epik High, Psy and the new boy group. Right now I'm just angry about the constant delays and wanted to take my fustrations out on something. BTW, I don't hate YG family, I'm just really pissed at YG at the moment.

Call me petty but if yg's decision lead to a further decline of 2NE1, I'm going to be hoping yg falls as well. Big Bang will be going to the army soon and I don't think the team A or B will be able to obtain the profits that Big Bang was making so early in their career. All YG will have to fall back on is a nugu group that may or may not be successful, lee hi who isn't even able to make half the revenue of 2NE1, Epik High and Psy whose 15 minutes of fame will eventually come to an end. I know this may offend some people but I'm sick and tired of YG doing whatever he can to 2NE1's career without feeling the repercussions.

Its about 78k. They haven't really gained any fans with this comeback :/

Happy Birthday Chen!!! I hope that you'll continue smiling the smile that you smile, trolling the way you troll, dancing the way you like to dance and continue singing the songs that you love in the years to come.

Thanks for warning I didn't know multiple posts were a problem

Sorry for all the chen spam but I just couldn't resist posting this picture as well I know its an old picture but I only just found it and I think he looks really cute as well as handsome in this

Here's also two gifs of chen in the chuseok faceoff preview Isn't he a cute beatle?

I noticed that no one had posted anything about chen on immortal song so here are some gifs that I found. Enjoy

I think they were. I feel as if they'd had a real mv it would have been space themed

This is my first time commenting on this thread but what you said really touched my heart. That is exactly how I feel about 2ne1 as well

I'm new to this thread and I'm 18

He really does. I especially like the top one

Hey I'm new to this thread. I just want to say that kim jongsdae is my favourite member of exo. Here are a couple of my favourite pictures of him

I'm new here as well. My bias is Chen. I just love his voice and personality

I love both 2ne1 and exo and I hope there will be more 2NEXO interactions in the future.
