MBLAQ (엠블랙) Official Thread - #WaitingForMBLAQ

[mocha]

Was at Sistar thread and people there are calling other group's fans rude (i'm guessing those are A+) because everyone started moving after the winner was announced and Hyorin said something like "Please watch our encore" or something. I mean of course they're gonna follow oppars since they're the ones who they came for. I bet this happens to everyone. So they're calling the other fans rude and delulu, too, since some A+ are I guess making cheating comments. Those A+ shouldn't say anything about cheating though but I don't agree with the rude part.

 

Never heard of any artists begging the audiences like that. It was so stupid of her cuz it was not her first time winning and she and her fans should've known better that fans from other fandoms have all the reasons not to stay. It's always like that. Why this pressed and desperate all of a sudden? Did she finally sense the danger of sistar's fandom not growing at all even after so many comebacks and awards? LOL

 

And yeah if we A+ were rude then all kpop fandoms were rude.

[mocha]

LOL the funny part is even some A+ in FB was thinking the comments are directed to them when everyone totally forgot the other rabid fanbase call EXOtics   

 

While the well-mannered A+ are worrying about ruining the fandom's image as always I swear those rabid exotics just don't give a f

I started crying :(

 

In that video he said, "Not getting first place it's not A+'s fault, it's ours. Not even 1% is A+ fault. We should make better music so it's not your fault at all."

 

Now I really want them to win next week.

But I really don't know our chances though. Will sistar still completely dominate digital or will they die down a little?

 

Even if sistar's digital dies down a little it will still be way ahead of ours

 

I really hope they can at least make 1 more comeback this year, but they won't have enough time when they have to do all those individual activities to stay relevant... It always hurts for me to think that they have to take the risk of facing another disappointment whenever they make a comeback TT_TT

[mocha]

ALL I can say is 1 MORE COMEBACK! 

They won't be able to win at all if they keep doing this every year. 

Hopefully, they keep the individual activities down and just focus on creating another album. 

Every comeback, we always struggle to win. 

It breaks my heart.

 

I can never understand jtc's marketing strategy

It's weird that after all these years they still haven't "forced" the boys to come back more often. I bet the CEOs of other agencies like cube and woolim think jtc's CEO is stupid.

 

and don't even get me started about Two X. I feel really bad about them

[mocha]

I think the guys have too much freedom to the point they can decide who they want to work with, when they feel ready to make a comeback and other things or their company has very high expectations to the point that they won't have them comeback until the higher ups are happy. Remember they said that they asked to not given ant schedules between their 2nd mini and full. Also in IM they stated that some of their songs weren't liked by the higher up.

 

We can speculate all we want but we may never know what the true problem is.

 

 

From a reliable source I heard that they lost momentum to come back more often after Mona Lisa promotion because of the obvious reason and I blame this all on jtc. You can give them all the freedom they want but if it doesn't get them to anywhere you are responsible to make them do the right thing aka to come back more often even if they think they are "not ready."

 

 

My bb is crying

[mocha]

Don't think that will be subbed for a while. There's not enough ppl to help with subs. I'm willing to learn how to sub cuz I have nothing to do. I might only be able to be a timer but at least that's something.

 

If you wanna learn I can send you some learning tips for timing, but let me remind you...

Timing is the worst part of subbing and all of the subbers I know including myself hate it!

 

Also you should have decent and stable internet speed because most of the raw clips are in HD and you would have to be able to download these big files and play them on the timing program.

 

Do you still wanna learn? keke

[mocha]

They didnt perform? Why not?

What happened to the subbers?

I remembered they were lighting fast with the subs.

Probably busy?

 

Are you sure you are talking about MBLAQ's subs? Cuz even their chinese subs don't come out lighting fast nowadays LOL

 

EDIT: SBS is so petty

[mocha]

@Mocha

 

am I still part of the subbing team? I think I forgot to reply to the email....

 

 

 

 

Everyone still is including you, but I'm sorry to say that it takes longer for me to proofread all chinese translators' translation than me doing the translation myself because of grammar mistakes, lack of knowledge about MBLAQ (a chi translator put down "Mir's hometown is the Great Wall" *roll eyes*) and chi translation mistakes (sometimes the chi translation even got the captions wrong cuz apparently they rather put out the sub fast than taking more time to proofread it).

 

If you have time to do some translation for me that would be great. I can give you something to work onto. Your translation is pretty ok compared to some of the others'

 

 

[mocha]

Yep, but English subs,

Not the Chinese subbed ones.

 

You misunderstood my sarcasism.

99% of the time Chinese subs come out much faster than English subs and a lot of English subs are actually translated from Chinese not Korean, so if Chinese subs don't come out fast there's no way English subs can.

[mocha]

I wish next time their management won't make them gone for to long like its war era to smoky girl era. Look at them now, even rookie group who debut last year sold more album and their single even chart higher than them. I wish mblaq has many comeback in a year like b.a.p, b.a.p popularity, album & single always step to the top with every comeback. Long hiatus = lost some popularity!!!!!!!!

 

You should watch this show if you haven't. Coming back every 2 months is just not how they do music and how it should be.

 

Starting @7:49

 

 

lol 長城 XDD

 

My summer starts next week, so I have lots of time to translate.

 

"pretty ok" can you tell me what Im lacking so I can improve next time^^

 

 

Just some minor and careless grammar mistakes and typos. Not a big deal for typing on SNS but it is for subbing.

 

Please check dm for a more thorough explanation

Are there any trans from Mir's cafe chat? Pikajoon told me that he said there will not be any follow ups 

 

According to the Chinese translation, there will be no follow up but when A+ asked him when they will comeback he said all the recordings have been done.

 

He stayed in the chat for an hour and said a lot of interesting things, so I wanna translate it but that chi translator didn't post the original screencap of the chat and I dunno where to find it...

[mocha]

They're cheaper in Japan. So I'm guessing the more expensive ones were bought there. I wonder why I haven't seen Mir recieve any from their fans but only Joonie. Joonie even got a customized one from a fan during a fan signing.

 

I think a lot A+/Miracles didn't know his collection until he mentioned it in his daum cafe chat last week.

And I wonder if he and Joon would've become close if he was not into these bears

[mocha]

My only /concern/ is the number of tracks.

Intro + Encore + 6 tracks is a full album now?

 

 

 

And 2 of them have been released to cockblock blaqies

CUBE never disappoints me with their marketing strategy

 

[mocha]

 

 

I do hate MBLAQ    its because of them why i have trouble listening to kpop nowadays -  putting my friggin' standards higher than they should
 
  damn them and their Absolute Quality music, jesus
 
I think i'm going to sue

 

I feel ya, sis

 

@ale

 

I'm about to unfollow tini on twitter
Although I can bear with people not having good ears of music, saying gyu > woohyun + claiming gyu's voice is unique + not thinking G.O is >>>>>> 4654513160 idol singers including her bias + straight out denying the opinion from you and other experts who have normal ears while she was the one who asked for opinion in the 1st place + arguing that you were wrong cuz your opinion was different from her tlist are seriously touching my bottomline

Kpop world is now full of people like her who have rotten ears that make mblaq forever underappreciated and other groups overrated like hell

*end rant*

 

 

 

G.O and Outsider, real musician acknowledging another real musician

I like her so it didnt really bother me. Though she might be mad at me for that..lol i cant tell. 

But i do get your rant...i get pretty butthurt myself about mblaq not getting enough credit for their abilities.

 

 

You're so nice keke

 

 

Please let G.O promote with Outsider cuz it's his title song!

[mocha]

Does Radio star still ask uncomfortable questions or not anymore? 

i want Kim Gura to ask Joon about Rain 

 

 

I want him to ask questions that are hard to answer cuz I have faith in Joon that he'll show the world again how to handle embarrassing questions like a boss

 

 

Is it weird that I'm kinda glad they lost to rookies ?

It just shows the public everything they ever thought about kpop is right and makes their hate grow more haha.

As long as no one is calling it a horrible song or making jokes then its definitely a win to me. Plus its clear their going for the older crowd, which is probably gonna help later on.

 

I like your evilness

But do you know you can quote more than 1 post in your post to avoid double/triple post? Just a friendly reminder

 

 

Timing is one factor.

You're right but jtc picked the right timing this time... It's just that Starship was smart enough to have sistar comeback as soon as they realized it was a good timing. Jtc needs to learn that picking good timing is not enough but they have to be ready to make a comeback whenever the chance comes.

 

 

@aimeele

That's one point but still, people should know it since TT incident

So much shit happened that I just stopped buying Shinhwa's albums

And I loved them since 2006...it was really bad :(

I used to like all shinhwa members but now only 5 of them.

 

Really want mblaq to get more appreciated cuz I've been disliking more and more groups...

@lujung that's what the online community thinks so it'd be nice to know his point of view. i trust him to be honest -_-    

 

I used to think that too but he's one of the realest mcs out there. He's really straight forward  & might seem rude but i like that he puts people on the spot..& makes them look pretty air-headed (if they cant answer properly) or pretty smart. He already tested mblaq & he likes them (specially Joon lol)

I personally like him since Immortal Song 2...he actually called people out when they were weak or overdid certain gimmicks lol

I think I'm the only one here who loved kim gura right from the beginning and I'm glad you changed your view on him. To me he's more like a reporter than an mc cuz he sacrifices himself to bring the truth to the public.

So don't blame him asking your bias "tricky" questions. Blame your air-headed bias cuz air-headed people can't survive in this industry for too long.

I love kim gura and his bluntness.... it's refreshing. and i honestly love the fact they have added him to Incarnation. It makes the talk show more fun and crazy LOL... unless Cube decides to cockblock it.... somehow i really hope he will ask Joon about it. 

 

 

btw... seriously?? A Pink won???? ​

 

 

It'd be stupid of Cube to cockblock Joon bc he's capable in telling the truth in a positive way (his comment on OYS, anyone?). Whatever he's gonna say about Rain will either do no harm or even helps Rain's image.

 

To blaqies and us A+ the trophy is always so close yet so far away but it seems to be something easy for rookies to reach.

 

WAE????    

 

[mocha]

^I actually want to see Cube do that seeing how they got so defensive with Taewan’s ’controversy’.

Their rep sounded so much like Taewan and Rain are not friends at all. tsk

I think they got slapped in the face with Taewan’s agency’s answer.

Let’s see how they’re gonna cockblock Joon if ever he gets questioned about Rain.

 

I don't like how they handled that Taewan’s ’controversy’ so the evil side of me wants to see that happen too lol

[mocha]

and what about JTC's tactics? lol that's quite sad since I see Smoky girl being far superior than most of the boy groups' releases this year so far. Aside from ADTOY which is also good, the rest of boy groups have come yet to par with these two title tracks.

 

 

Shadow and Destiny didn't bring anything new on the table this year. Hoping for better songs from the not mentioned groups

 

 

JTC's tactic is no tactic, so we should all be thankful that blaqies somehow made it to 2nd place on music shows several times by broadcast points alone.

 

 

Fiction + Caffeine >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Shadow

Destiny = rehash of Be Mine + The Chaser

People with rotten ears are saying Yoseob sounds as awesome as G.O

Woolim spent almost $1 mil on Destiny MV but all I see is crappy fire bender CG

Shadow's choreography sucks and the members were lazy in dancing it as f in the mv...

 

But both songs got all-kill on charts. THIS IS NOT THE REALITY I WANT!!!!

I can only weep to be honest. Fangirls are just........I don't want to go to that direction again. I've been upset about this sad fact. I'm just looking forward for their repackage new songs. Stay positive. I'm actually glad MBLAQ hasn't reached its peak. Have you seen what others have said about Fiction > Shadow? People will not stop comparing unless B group tops Fiction. I don't know when will this happen to be honest. MBLAQ keeps improving

 

 

 

That's why B group should try something new to avoid comparisons but apparently to CUBE $$$ >>>>>>>

 

 

Is there any info about the music drama? i still dont get what that's about..

 

I only know it has 2 eps and all their title songs in it.

[mocha]

You should check out this song it's my second favorite on the album.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NWRMPOmHPA

 

 

The song was not bad until I got distracted by the high note at 1:15 bc it sounded terrible and ruined the song.

It sounded even worse after I've listened to G.O's high notes in Outsider's song OTL.

Yoseob ah, why you no take care of your voice?

 

 

I also read your essay. It's good that you gave us your genuine opinion. I dunno others but I myself like discussion like that

[mocha]

It would have been interesting, but I prefer him promoting himself and Seungho instead. He's beyond adorable, but goodness his stories are just.... he's so earnest that he makes you want to believe him no matter how ridiculous it is. The whole show was hilarious especially the perverted sun-glass game towards the end. I still can't believe he got away with checking out Clara on a national broadcast channel and netizens' thought it was endearing. That is some skill right there.... Onew was right he is the best.

 

Because he was told to do so by the MCs lol
