Hyooga 10,307 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 A lot of things in the current idol world would have been a no pass back in our time. What were your experiences? Comedians can't make fun of the idols. Even people like Yoo Jae Suk and Kang Ho Dong were weary of fans (particularly Cassies). I no longer see this kind of thing at all now. Comedians throw jabs even with the big players like EXO. Not just DB5K but male-female idol interactions were sorta taboo (this kinda lasted till early Suju era). There was a reason for that Soshi black ocean. Idols were more mysterious. Cyworld was the closest thing for direct contact aside from fancafe posts. Now they can do Twitter Q&As or reply to Instagram comments. Any more anecdotes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

where my hood unnies at 4,967 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 new fans aren't grateful enough for the translators who are kind enough to sub everything within a day of it's release... they don't know the struggle of having to watch raw material and trying to piece together a meaning from the little korean they know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing what people can do for their biases. yes I studied the language because we didn't have enough subbers then it comes in handy now that i'm an ahjumma. i can watch my fave dramas/shows without waiting for subs lol.
