2AM’s Jinwoon, T-ara’s Jiyeon, SISTAR’s Hyolyn and Ailee have all been confirmed for “Dream High 2” now.

T-ara’s Jiyeon will have the role of Kani who is in the popular girl group “Hush”/”Hershey” (허&#49772 as a member who dreamed of doing everything including acting, but “Ryan”, the idol representative, delayed her acting career because she’s not good enough.

Jiyeon said, “Our member Eunjung has given me a lot of advice. She warned me about how cold it is in Kirin so I have my warm blankets ready for when I start attending,” she said with a shiver.

Hyorin will play the role of bold personality Nana who is the lead vocals in the group with a secret she can’t reveal.

 

[Peru]

Yay, Perfume debut at #1 on Oricon with 227,000 physical copies sold of JPN. Highest first-week sales for them, third consecutive #1 album, first girl group to do that since SPEED in the 90s. (Lest we forget, only BoA and Ayumi Hamasaki have had six consecutive #1 studio albums on Oricon)

This SMTOWN Christmas album press release is hilarious

Pursuant to the title of the album, ‘The Warmest Gift,’ Super Junior is selected as Santa who carries presents. The lyrics of the title song ‘Santa U Are The One’ is about how Santa is the greatest for bringing the world joy and presents.

Moreover, Girls’ Generation expressed warm and happy feelings of winter through standard pop music, ‘Diamond.’

All songs are in English.

I was wondering why i couldn't find the old thread in the first page =O.

So i guess the community finally decided to have no SNSD in the title..

BTW good job OC..

If I had my way it would be the Tiffany Hwang Megathread, so fair is fair.

JPN is really good. A couple boring songs, but everything else ranges from good to smanging.

As soon as we arrived in Korea we saw all our warmhearted fans who came to welcome us ㅜㅠㅠㅠㅠ Thank you ㅠㅠ I was so touched I just.. huu huu my tears ㅠㅠ I’ll get better soon ㅠ

Rainbow gold outfits are yikes.

 

[vanty]

Every Japan-related thing Rainbow have done except the songs themselves has been yikes. Their cutesy acting is worse than pornstar acting.

 

[Peru]

The MVs have been great, as well. But yeah, they've misunderstood Japan as a place where everyone has to do that.

 

[broadwayrock]

This is one of the songs of hers that I enjoy. I'm curious to see a fancam of this, especially since her English isn't horribad.

Here you go:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34PG2hWtKcI

G.na's english is perfect because shes Canadian, 4Minute on the other hand were getting laughs from the audience when they tried to speak engrish to them.

Did she do Rihanna's stage performance of 'Rude Boy' as well?

Nope, her performance was wholesome compared to the others.

 

[Salazar]

That Mach BTS was killer, though. The MV, too.

Spoiler

JiSook leering at the camera and making a jacking-off motion.

 

[Ronok]

Course it is, I was just posting about mine

whoa whoa whoa, come on guys.. i asked for suggestions! she just happened to be one of them lol >_<

I didn't really mean to come off as argumentative. >.<

I think it should be made clear that the audience weren't laughing at 4Minute, but more because it was cute... That's why I was anyway, I can only assume it was the same for everyone else. lol

 

[Salazar]

Little kid trolling Taemin.

 

[panda21]

dawwwww

lol

 

[Conceptor]

I wish Rainbow would win something :<. With Japan.. DSP must be doing something right if you look at KARA.

Eunhyuk's cool though, if we're talking about Suju. http://youtu.be/o3yY9XeokXI. lol at the other dudes in the back sitting like statues and looking bored out of their minds.

 

[Peru]

All SuJu members are douches except the youngest, Kyuhyun.

 

[broadwayrock]

Yeah, Sohyun was really adorable speaking to the audience.

It gets to a point where MyungSoo seems more legit on stage.

 

[Peru]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDg1XW_rKvo some of them seem really solid, others more charmingly awkward. "we are happy to meet guys!"

It gets to a point where MyungSoo seems more legit on stage.

MyungSoo & Gdragon - "I Cheated": Still the highest first-week sales of any digital release this year.

 

[Salazar]

Sulli can't handle the charisma.

 

[DXPett1]

Dude, Eunhyuk is pretty baller. Plus, from that fan account in Paris, the guy is a gentlemen

 

[Salazar]

Rainbow for Japanese tv. More of the hyper cuteness. That looks like a killer sandwich, though.

Soshi (well, Fany and Sica) US radio interview.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIu3DZi1sxw&feature=player_embedded

HNNGGGGGGG. That accent slays me. Help.

Lol. "...is this a cult?" Fany's story about growing up here and then getting her parents to let her go live in Korea without any family there to 'chase her dreams' when she was 15 does stretch the imagination a bit. This guy's questions are pretty good. I also did not know Sunkyu was born American.

We all know what's coming next.

Spoiler

j/k. These two posts so close to each other made me laugh though.

 

[Salazar]

I assume SM helped reassure her parents a whole lot. Guy did a pretty good job, and Fany and Sica are just straight-up media skilled.

I think his name is Eiji Wentz, and he is Japanese. According to wiki he has a German-American dad. I thought he was a Westerner too at first lol

So little Soshi. Most of the clip was that one couple. And no Yoongie.

Yeah, they were pretty good. It'd be funny if the other girls didn't get a translator though. They'd be sitting there hearing them speak, not understanding any of it, and then in the middle of it hear Fany and Sica teach him how to say "you are an idiot" of all things.

Taengoo isn't overselling that banana milk. Yuri's seems to have been spiked.

What was the GFW word for intense vicarious embarrassment ? Wajah ?

Wonder Girls comeback was good, though. It's not fair that Soshi rolled over them so hard.

 

[Dice]

omg could yubin get any hotter?

 

[Alta1r]

http://youtu.be/BQg8SdQ1dHo

Wow.

And that song was surprisingly catchy. Possibly the 2nd best WG song I've heard so far. I want a kogi burrito now.

etc

do you have the video links to those hyuna gifs?

 

[Ronok]

Do any of you have experience ordering stuff from yesasia.com? Just wondering how long I can expect to wait for IU's album to arrive. I think it may have given me an estimate when I ordered it, but I can't remember the date it said, or find it anywhere in an email.

I order from them, usually takes about a week after receiving the shipping invoice. They also count in the Korean music charts if you're into that sort of thing.

Awesome, so any time from now it should arrive.

Hyuna:

[Killamangiro]

K-Food party - what kinda crazy propaganda is this?!
