  1. Nah, to be honest I really like this comeback song/choreo too, and I have seen quite a few people being rather happy. The issue here is that they had a giant hiatus which, in a fast-moving industry like kpop, means that huge chunks of the fandom moved on/new fans don't know them/ some fans have gotten bored. But from reactions of youtubers/kpop bloggers there is interest being generated, so what needed to happen was for massive amounts of publicity to happen. There needed to be lives, appearances on other shows, elaborate schedules, coordinated social media stuff. I don't wanna hate on Golden Child but they are not that popular and if Woollim's system is "let them piggyback off Infinite" when Infinite itself is struggling, that ain't going to cut it. I need to trust that the boys made the right choice, but I would pay good money to see that bloody contract. It does not seem like they are getting a stellar deal.
  2. Tbh they needed to capitalise on this period.... but clearly Woollim had other plans. -.-
  3. Like, at this point I don't even care. I never bought into any of the bs about "sibling groups" because it's clearly just a way for marketing ploys. And go ask 2ne1 how well having a "little sister group" worked for them. Woollim is clearly doing its damnedest to not do what they need to do this time either.
  4. This is ridiculous. Infinite have clearly suffered from the very long hiatus, this is the moment to build them up and give them the spotlight they need! Not to piggyback off them to publicise the unknown group. No. I am not pleased. At all.
  5. Majestic and galadriel-like as that was, I am always happy to see black hair ed kyu #fact
  6. Poor Sungyeol. With such an intense schedule I wouldn't be surprised if he had a bit of the flu but simply no time to rest and recuperate properly. -.- I hope he gets better soon. Yes, I think it's important we work hard streaming and aim at giving them decent results more than anything, to keep the buzz alive and make it a decent comeback. The hopefully Woollim won't keep them under wraps another year... because they have to capitalise on this, and fast.
  7. He is basically becoming Lady Galadriel https://www.wordonfire.org/wof-core/libraries/timthumb/timthumb.php?zc=1&w=1328&h=598&src=https://www.wordonfire.org/wof-site/media/brgimligaladriel.jpg
  8. #Myungsoosneckliberationfront Myungsoo is basically a cat ahaha and omg, I totally get Kyu, I would have been furious too. It's not everyone who possesses Dw's preternatural calm.
  9. I resent for poor Woohyun though that he didn't get the coolest clothes this time either
  10. I WANT TO STEAL ALL THOSE MILITARY JACKETS AND SHIRTS Also I get why they pre-recorded Tell me, that's really sophisticated set and lighting. I love it!
  11. Me too, but you know k-audiences and their ballads... That sounds like leadernim. Masterful and very firm.
  12. Thank you so so very much to both you and í™©ì œë‹˜ 팬. I can see it has been a very long process and quite complicated too, many thanks for all your effort, and I really hope the awards team approves everything! And really, Sly, you have gone above and beyond, especially in the wild card round. Don't worry at all! We can all tell you did your utmost and best. ^^
  13. The grandpa sweaters are, objectively, a pox on all of our houses
  14. Yes, I feel like he thought the decision through and made this choice for all the right reasons for himself. I am not surprised in light of this Infinite don't seem to have taken it hard. It clearly had nothing to do with them if he nearly quit public life.
  15. Ok so, I think I need to go on top of a mountain and meditate until I decide whether I like blond Kyu or not...
  16. Hoya On Almost Quitting Celebrity Life And The Reason He Entered His Current Agency - Soomp https://www.soompi.com/2018/01/10/hoya-almost-quitting-celebrity-life-reason-entered-current-agency/ ... Currently, Hoya is housed under Glorious Entertainment, which is also the agency of other celebrities such as Ji Chang Wook and Hyun Woo. Because all the celebrities in this agency are actors, people assumed that Hoya was turning over a new leaf as an actor. However, Hoya refuted this fact, saying, “In fact, it’s the exact opposite. After I became a free man last June, I received calls from many agencies. There was even an agency that only cared for singers. Naturally, I was interested in it because I was thinking of continuing my activities as a singer. However, if I go to an agency for singers, there will be an A&R Team, producers, and composers, and since the agency needs to make money, I can’t help but do commercial music. If I yield to all of that, I thought I wouldn’t be able to do the music I truly wanted to do.†When Hoya decided to leave Woolim Entertainment and INFINITE last year, he also thought about quitting being a celebrity once and for all. He explained, “I started this life simply because I like singing and dancing, but because I lived as a celebrity, I spent a lot of time doing business rather than singing and dancing. There was a lot of business I had to do in order to sing one song. So it felt backwards.†Hoya added, “Also, rather than singing the songs I liked, I felt like I was walking on eggshells wondering what kind of music the public liked. Because those feelings of fatigue piled up, I thought about quitting celebrity life.†In the end, he decided to continue being a celebrity because he likes music as much as he likes dancing and thought he should continue being a singer for his fans. The reason why Hoya chose Glorious Entertainment was because the president of the agency readily agreed to let him release an album. Hoya said, “By mere chance, I was able to meet the president and talk with him. He said he wanted to sign a contract with me because he thinks I can do various things, since I can sing, dance, and act. So I told him, ‘I don’t have to act, but I must release an album,’ and he willingly said he would let me do it. He said, ‘I don’t know anything about music, so do whatever you want,’ so I thought this was the best path for me to take in order to do the music I want. The agency has no intention of making money through my album anyways, so I think I can make money for them by acting while doing music I want. In reality, I am currently making an album without my agency interfering. It’s definitely a lot harder, but it’s more fun.â€
  17. Thank you for this. So much. It sounds like he indeed made the choice for the creative freedom he could not get.
