LABOUM / 라붐 Official Thread

[Kid-Simple]

Oh my god, I love how fun the stage is. They sound so good.   Soyeon~ ZN~ 

News photos are out! I really can't tell you how much I love the colors and the set. Just everything. Spam below because I can't get over this stage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Liking this group so far.  They are cute without being too sugary.  Very energetic too, like someone said.  The 3rd song on their mini is my favorite i think, i heard that on internet radio and liked it.  The concept is not the most unique or anything, but i think the striped leg tape is a nice touch.  Not to sound creepy or anything but it makes me think about how they put that on and how far up it goes, lol.  (i think the stylist knows what he's doing...)  Cute and sexy at the same time is always the best ^^

[Kid-Simple]

btw if there is ever anything you want us to sub let me know, as of now we're planning on subbing other showcase clips, and the few lines of the making of videos

 

I'm currently subbing something for ^^^^^^^^laboumdaily

 

Woot, LABOUM has a subber!  Really starting to like this group so it's awesome i'll be able to understand stuff.

 

I'm still torn between Yujeong and Yulhee.  I think i need lots more performances and variety shows to decide, lol.  Hopefully they can get enough work to keep the subbers busy.

[Kid-Simple]

i hope ;_; i really want to see them on any kind of variety show!

 

the only one i know is one where yujeong was on predebut, hidden singer?

They could always go the Crayon Pop route and make their own shows...

but for exposure, yea a real one would be the best.

Laboum on Mcountdown Backstage (140919) with J-subs

watch before it gets taken down...

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kebdgz5l0yA

 

Yulhee laughed big when they asked her if the tape makes their legs look slimmer.

 

Btw I really hope she doesn't listen to the stupid "fans" telling her to lose weight, or try to compare herself to the naturally skinny members like Yujeong.  She is hot the way she is!  I felt bad for her in the "Secret Box" video when she mentioned that fan's complaint.  That Mcountdown reporter is only making it worse by asking her the question like that.

 

Gyuri (from KARA) went through similar problems which she confessed to recently.  She felt like she was always being compared to the naturally skinny Hara and Seungyeon, and even developed an eating disorder for a while!  She later got over it and just accepted her body type, and she looks really great now.  Hopefully Yulhee can learn from her senior's mistakes and not repeat them... (and hopefully the people around her in Korea can shut up, like seriously. ><)

 

[Kid-Simple]

So I know someone who is interviewing Laboum, do you guys have any questions you want to ask

 

I'd ask them what are (a) some good things and (b) some bad things they learned from watching their sunbaes? ... Like about being an idol or a celebrity.  Or more generally, what do they think of the industry so far and what are their expectations for the future?

 

They probably wouldn't want to answer (b), even though that's the one we'd be most curious about, lol.  Never hurts to ask, right? ^^

[Kid-Simple]

Looking forward to the Meet & Greet thing!  It would be cool if they said my name on the chat but i'll most likely be asleep at that time.  (Live streaming usually sucks here anyway...)  Hope it will get recorded and uploaded later.  I think they usually do that, right?

 

 

hehehehe )

 

LOL.  I love this gif so much.  Soyeon is like, "Hey guys, I want some loving too..."

 

[Kid-Simple]

@nn94 like directly translated officallaboum's message about the fan name lol no one really knows

but i just think of myself as a little cup of coffee now heh with a cute foam design on top

 

bahh 63 posts to go e.e

 

Thanks.  There is some app to put pictures into the foam design of a coffee cup, maybe u should make a picture like that for Laboum.

 

also u can buy those little album things if u have "won", but i don't think Laboum has any yet!

[Kid-Simple]

Laboum is a project group connecting 2 groups from different agencies together, right?  Which members were in each sub-group originally?

[Kid-Simple]

Wow it is sooo good!  I love the remade version of the song too.  Laboum really has it all with both vocals and visuals.  They are even more beautiful than i thought at first.  I hope they can rise to the top among all the competition!

 

btw...

Twitter is blocking the link to the video for some reason, and won't let me tweet it.  I filed a report saying it's not spam, but who know how long that will take to fix.  (It makes me wonder if someone can trick twitter into thinking something is spam?  i hope no one is playing dirty tricks...)

Ever since i heard the name Latte i wanted to make this!

[Kid-Simple]

anyone has a bias list, already? 

 

Soyeon and ZN are my top 2 but i don't know where the others rank

 

It's early, but i think Laboum will be like Crayon Pop for me, where i never settle on one bias and just cycle through all the members.  I like Yujeong and Yulhee a lot so far, but Soyeon and ZN aren't far behind!

 

I've been a Kpop fan for about 5 years now and Laboum will be the 6th group i consider myself a fan of.  To be honest it's getting a little crowded, lol.  I hope we get to see them a lot on varieties (even self-made ones) since they seem so genuine and likeable.  I like what @Minnie♡Haein said about them being natural. ^_^

[Kid-Simple]

I think they're all pretty good vocalists actually.  It's great they can sing live a lot more than other groups.  Their choreo is a bit tamer too so it makes it easier for them to sing.  Well when they're not falling over anyway, lol.

 

No idea who the main dancers are yet.

Those army guys looked like they're having a religious experience!  Yulhee seemed like the most popular.

 

Who said dolls can't be sexy...

[Kid-Simple]

Maybe it's just me being a perv, but i like what Soyeon does at 2:43 in their Music Bank performance (141107). ^^

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x29qerr_laboum-what-about-you-141107-mb_music&start=160

 

She's a lot sexier than you'd think for the main vocal!  All of them are gorgeous really... still can't get over how stacked they are (no pun intended, lol) both vocally and visually.  Nice to see them getting lots of views and new fans!

If anyone knows Korean and would like to translate, these 2 articles both look really good.  Especially the TF one.

Laboum official twitter posted links to them.

1. The Fact : http://news.tf.co.kr/read/sunday/1444545.htm
2. Sports Chosun : http://sports.chosun.com/news/ntype.htm?id=201411110100115330006936&servicedate=20141110

 

 

Using Google translate i was able to get a lot of it, but would love to read an accurate version.  Btw just as a tip for u guys, korean-to-japanese is often better than korean-to-english, so if you do both K->J->E and K->E you can get more of the meaning out.

I translated their tenasia interview.

 

yulhee:

 

 

 

My Name is Yulhee, Yul and happy Hee. My grandmother chose it so I can make people happy. I better make people happy with music!

Born on the 27th of November, 1997, I’m LABOUM’s real maknae. I’m in charge of chubby cheeks. At home I’m the oldest but I still act like the youngest. Haha. 

I like dance music and pop. I like Jessie J. At karaoke I sing Younha’s ‘Waiting’ and Yoon Mi Rae’s ‘Baby Bye Bye’ the most.

I was a kid who liked to watch music programs, and who liked to dance even more. I was dancing around with my friends everyday. “Do you want a job like this?†I was asked so I replied “Sure†and it just started like that. Even though it was hard, my mom gave me support. It’s because of my mom that I’m here.

As I was LABOUM’s last chosen member it was personally difficult. I worried about how I’ll become close to the members, and I was wandering alone. The members dragged me along the whole way. I’m so thankful to them.

Yulhee-yah, lose weight too. Do a lot of self-development. You also need to be a bit more serious. Cut down on your sleep…(Members: You know? haha) 

What do the members think is Yulhee’s charm? Like a maknae she’s very cute. She puts us in a good mood and has a lot of aegyo. When we scold her it’s possible to feel bad but she recieves it all and understands. Good at computers and screens. Games too.

A headline I want to see in 3 years, [LABOUM Yulhee, crowned #1 body among girl groups]

 

 

solbin:

 

 

My Name is Solbin, Sol and waterfront Bin. My mother chose it.

I was born on the 19th of August, 1997 and am LABOUM’s maknae along with Yulhee. I’m in charge of reverse charm.

The opportunity to become a singer came about naturally. I went to auditions ever since I was young. My mom secretly supported me without my dad knowing. He opposed at first but now he looks up my name on the internet everyday. It seems like he’s proud of me so I’m happy. 

I like all music except heavy rock and heavy metal. I want to be versatile and do acting like APink’s Jung Eunji sunbae, and like Lee Hyori I want to be around for a long time and have my own color. Lately I’m singing Younha’s ‘That Street’ a lot.

I write in a diary and at the end of every day I list 5 things that I’m thankful for. Not long ago I wrote about the members ‘I’m just thankful for everything [about them]’. They’re all really nice, understanding, and there’s a lot that we learn from eachother so I’m really thankful.

Solbin-ah, lose weight, and grow your vocal skills. It’d be great to have more more charisma on stage. To become a versatile entertainer you have to work hard.

What do the members think is Solbin’s charm? Soyeon and Solbin’s code matches well and they’re the most fun. Her looks are chic and quiet but her personality is the complete opposite. She’s really fun and knows how to let go of her image. Really easygoing. The first time we met she burst into jokes. She shows a lot of affection and is nice. Even though she’s the maknae she’s great to us and is considerate. Mood maker!

zn:

 

 

My Name is ZN, my real name is Bae Jinye. It was really hot when I was born so I was given a name to do with water. 

I was born on the 9th of June, 1994. I’m in charge of vocals and dance. When I debuted I was given ‘a girl that leaves a scent(saying that she smells nice all the time)’ as PR but I’m not like that. Haha.  Instead I’ve been applying hand cream diligently to really leave a scent when I touch something.

Because I like dancing I wanted to become a singer. My sister learnt dancing too and is even better. Seeing my sister doing a wave I wanted to practice more. 

Originally I was supposed to debut in a girl group with a mighty warrior concept then LABOUM happened. At first I thought it was embarrassing and difficult.

I like acoustic and R&B music. I like male ballad singers lately I’m listening to Na Yoon Kwon’s songs a lot. I sing Urban Zakapa’s ‘One Spring Day’ at karaoke a lot.

You seem to be good at managing your condition and emotions well. Also,ZN-ah. Stop eating rice cakes. The fridge is full, it’s a big problem.

What do the members think is ZN’s charm? Because she’s optimistic whenever someone is having a hard time or difficult thoughts she leads them to a positive direction. When she sings she goes from a husky voice to a bubbly one. She has really great skin. She takes care of it really well always using suncream, and buys cosmetics often. She’s a shy type of person but once you become friends she’s completely comfortable. Really long legs. Model body!

yujeong:

 

 

My Name is Yujeong, tender Yu and Jeong. My grandfather chose it so I could live like my name.

Born on the 14th of February, 1992 I’m the oldest and aegyosal of the group. Soyeon and I are the vocal line.

I debuted in a vocal group in 2010. Even though I wanted to be a singer since I was young, my parents were opposed and I was to study applied music at University. I ended up in a vocal group for 1 year, but we failed. After doing it once I couldn’t give up.

LABOUM is confident they will do well. Honestly I wanted to continue as a ballad group but my image was too much like an idol and I was told what I wanted to do compared to what I could do were different. If LABOUM members weren’t great I was planning on going elsewhere but LABOUM were different.

Like Baek Jiyoung, Lee Hyori and Lee Soo Young I want to be a long run person. They survived hardships and I want to learn from that. I like ballads and jazz. ‘Say You Love Me’ is the song I’m most confident singing. 

Yujeong-ah, look after your condition especially your throat. Drink lots of water! Be careful not to catch a cold!

What do the members think is Yujeong’s charm? Because of her experience she teaches us all well. Her vitality is strong. She’s not shy of strangers and can adapt anywhere. She never gains weight when she eats either. She takes us for rides. When there’s tension she has lots of aegyo. The way she speaks is cute. “eung~↗†her voice is clear so she’s good at children’s songs and trot.

haein:

 

 

My Name is Haein, sea Hae and In. My mother’s best friend’s name is Haemi, she really liked the ‘Hae’ and thought it was pretty so it was used for me. After looking for another that would suit ‘Hae’, it became Haein.

I was born on the 19th of May, 1995. Because I’m dexterous I have a lot of interest in nail art, when I was a trainee I was in charge of the members nails. They just told me what style they want. I’m in charge of the aesthetic sense and talents. 

My favorite genre of music changes depending on the day. I went to U-Kiss’ concert not long ago and was impressed so I’ve been listening to U-Kiss’ ballads again lately.

Lee Hyori is my role model as someone who knows her own strengths and personal color, rather than an outstanding vocal ability.

I’ve vaguely had thoughts of becoming a celebrity since elementary school. In middle school I learnt singing, acting, dancing, and participated in musicals for 3 years to build experience. I went to an acting academy but later wanted to sing so I transferred to an academy in Hongdae and began to stick to auditions.

Haein-ah. Do well with self management, personal development and your health. It seems you’re still lacking a little at taking care of basic things. 

What do the members think is Haein’s charm? Because she has large eyes she’s really good at a variety of expressions. She’s easygoing and honest. Because she’s like that it takes more time to shoot and eat. When it’s time to play around she’s full of mischief but when it’s time to be serious she works harder than anyone.

soyeon:

 

 

My Name is Soyeon, bright So, pretty Yeon. My grandfather chose it so I would be bright and pretty. Am I really like my name?

Born on the 4th of May, 1994, I’m LABOUM’s main vocal. Born in Gwangju, Jeolla-do I attended the academy that many other artists attended.

Like Lyn and Taeyeon sunbaes I want to be active with ballads and drama OST’s. Like IU I want to have my own color. I really like IU’s acoustic music. I sing Lyn sunbae’s song ‘Miss you…Crying’ a lot at karaoke these days. I always have Park Hyo Shin’s songs on my mp3 too.

After always seeing singers on music broadcasts I had the thought that I want to be in that position too. I fell asleep thinking of having a concert or being on a show. I only learnt dance through after-school club, when I went to high school I wanted to go to a singing academy but because my parents wanted me to live an ordinary life, they opposed. Because I really wanted it, in my 3rd year of high school I kept sticking to auditions so I was eventually able to go.

Personally, I’m the type of person who falls into a slump often. Because I’m a perfectionist I worry about a lot of things, during ‘Pit-A-Pat’ promotions there were times when I lacked stamina and had an issue with my throat. There was even a time when I lost my voice. I’m the main vocal… I was so sorry to my members but they were supporting me and gave me a lot of strength.

Soyeon-ah, now that you’ve become a singer grow your vocal skills and show us an even better image! Because you have weak stamina, you’re the type to get sick often. You seem to be good at taking care of yourself.

What do the members think is Soyeon’s charm? Dimples, eye smile, white teeth! She suits the Winter image. She has a warm feeling to her voice, like a snowman. The voice you want to hear before you sleep! Sometimes she’s like a friend, and at the same time like a sister. Like an adult. LABOUM’s dad?

Wow, i have a new appreciation for Haein after watching their 141113 MCountdown performance.

It was the short version, but still so good!

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od8G7t6x_3U

I have trouble playing those 1080p60 ones, so i found this instead... (anyone else the same btw?)

 

 

omg Haein & Soyeon <3

A cut of the episode of Dream Team that ZN,Solbin, and Yulhee will be on with Bestie, HelloVenus, Red Velvet,Rainbow,and Apink

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR_-GkEhJFs

 

I so can't wait for this!  Yulhee is on the left at 0:12, destroying her opponent lol.  I may be wrong but i think ZN was on the left at 0:08 also... ^_^

 

Is it just me or Laboum's popularity among the members seemed equalized? Most of the members have their fan base distributed evenly. Solbin in particular earned more love. Yujeong and Soyeon isn't exactly gaining a lot of fans by the moment. Soyeon is it girl material too, the girl can sing, dance and is very eye catching, her red hair suits her best. I find Soyeon one of the prettiest girls in Laboum too.

 

Yes, they are definitely well balanced.  I love all of them so far!  They remind me a lot of KARA back in the day...

 

Also apparently this is the masked fellow that drags Solbin in the beginning of performances?    

 

 

Haha, where can i apply for the job to become a LABOUM dragger?

 

 

 

This was great to see them interacting.  I wish they wouldn't be so hung up on weight tho.  They all look amazing and natural and have gorgeous bodies.  Please don't go the way so many other groups do and ruin that....
