4Minute’s finest hour: Crazy vs Party

4Minute was disbanded at its absolute peak
4Minute built a large international fanbase in their last 18 months because of Crazy and Hate
The four members that left Cube had lucrative solo activities in Korea because of WYN #6 (Gaon Digital Chart - 2013)

4Minute disbandment puts the company at risk
According to bizenter, Cube is actually at very high risk following 4minute's disbandment and their rookies' lack of results
The article says that if beast goes to the army, cube will probably go bankrupt seeing they're the only money maker for now

Cube's Board of Directors had made a decision to renew 4Minute contracts (July 20, 2016)
Gayoon asked fans which concept the next album should be at her birthday party (May 24)
Gayoon" I hope to make more opportunities like this where I can get to know the fans." (May 24)
Chairman Hong delayed the renewals (July 20)

Gayoon was excluded at the last moment. Loyal members rejected the renewal
Jihyun (Hyuna’s friend), Gayoon speaking to other agencies (June 13)

G.Na should sue Cube (2011)
Whoever's in charge of managing G.Na's career needs their ass fired ASAP (2012)

Hong-Hyuna partnership has destroyed profits, careers since 2009
The four members are probably gone for good. They’re good people, saw the dark side of Kpop, gave up their youth for nothing. Hong has sabotaged their careers from beginning to end. Otherwise, Hyuna, the most promoted idol of all-time would have been overshadowed in less than 4minutes (several members fit better the korean beauty standards; several members are more talented)

Where's the best place to buy posters? Is there a good website you guys use, or just eBay? Any notable eBay sellers? Really wanting to get a couple Mamamoo posters.

Yoona to release a Chines mini album (!), digital only it seems. July 31.
Will contain covers from her fan meetings and probably 1-2 new songs.

Anyone watching Age of Youth? Are there sub versions anywhere?

It's quite an odd tune but I really like it. The shouts/cries during the chorus are a nice touch.

Part of me hopes the bot doesn't get banned. I'm curious to see just how crazy it gets.

I never imagined that Yoona would get a solo release before Seohyun. :p

He's also posted like a normal person, elsewhere, over the many many years he's had an account on GAF. I don't think he's a bot, I just wish he'd interact more than just this current gimmick.

Wait up, is that Kim So-hyun the same KSH in Let's Fight Ghost??

I can't tell.... @___@

Shit is funny though. Brings me back to one of the better episodes of We Got Married with Jin-young/Goong-min, Yura/some dude and that dumb chick who got caught dating somebody in real life, ruining the illusion of the show lol.

Good stuff, that pulsating synth in the chorus is really good. Brandnew has been killing it lately.

나인뮤지스A[9MUSES A] - MUSES DIARY 앨범 미리 듣기 Album highlight
Sounds ok.

* Unpretty rapstar *

Intro Cypher:
Part 1 - YDG, Giant Pink, Yuk Jidam, Euna Kim, Janey and Grace
Part 2 - Juyun, Miryo, Kassy, Nada and Soyeon

Ther are more clips in mnet's channel, hope the first ep gets subbed soon. In the mean time, some early impressions:

Yuk Ji Dam has to tone down her Jessi impression.
Grace can be the best thing to happen to this season and probably the only original character.

Uhhh, did any of them memorize their lyrics? The lipsynching is... wow.

I think it's more a problem of them not being used at all of MV recording/lipsyncing. Most of them are hitting the lines, but the mouth movements are just awkward and seem like they don't match. There is still some messy parts, but most of them do a decent job.

UNPRETTY RAPSTAR vol.3 [1회] ′She′s Coming′ (Edited version with cuts)

This gives a better impression, and some of them got completely saved from the unedited version (the girl around 2:30, for example).

Indie Rock band MAAN released a new single:
[M/V] MAAN (맨) - Night (밤 (Feat. 정일우))
So good, song will be part of an album, called "Right next door to MAAN" I think. I disovered them more than a year ago when they released this song:
[M/V] MAAN - Come Around

Good song, I've read that part of the profit of the song will go to charity but the song has been downvoted like crazy anyway on Melon.

I mean, I like what Kassy has released before joining this show and I hope she does well, but it's sad to see girls that have to fit into a certain image just to get attention. I don't really know her so maybe it can be that my impression is completely wrong (it's also based on what she released before) but she seems to be forcing herself.

Speaking of Infinite Challenge:

Jung Hyung Don Officially Leaves “Infinite Challenge”

giphy.gif


His status on Weekly Idol is also up in the air. :(

I like Heechul and Hani as replacements but it'll never be the same with Doni.

As for MuDo, well... I don't think this is gonna be the end for them like how some are claiming it will be, but I do think MuDo is in for a radical change sooner or later. They've already been prepping for Yang Se-hyung to be a permanent member, whereas Kwanghee is still shit after a year, then supposedly he's up for military service really soon. I'm pretty sure he's never coming back to MuDo once he comes back from service.

That's really sad. He's obviously an entertainer who has made it big, and for him to be unable to cope with his depression and anxiety is just heartbreaking. Hope he can make a comeback, but if he leaves the entertainment industry he will be missed.

Yep, it really reminds of Robin Williams' passing. Dude looked so happy when a camera was in front of him but take it away and he's battling demons inside him.

I'm happy that he's putting his health over work or fame and fortune but obviously as a fan it sucks not being able to see him on MuDo or WI.

I'm hoping MuDo keeps an open door for him unlike what they did to Gil or Hong-chul. From what I've been reading the past few weeks or so Gil and NHC are perfectly happy with what they're doing and while they want to come back to MuDo, they say it's ultimately up to the staff and cast to do that.

It's...okay, certainly has it's moments, but I'll definitely be leaving at the end of my contract. But like others have said, there's a thread for this, but if you want to ask my general questions or whatever, feel free to PM me.

Otherwise, Hyuna, the most promoted idol of all-time would have been overshadowed in less than 4minutes (several members fit better the korean beauty standards; several members are more talented)

That moment when you nod along in agreement, and then realize it's from a bot...

Anything with synth automatically gets my attention. It's a nice bonus that's it's good, too!

She kinda sparkles too, so I guess that seals the deal.

Not even Twice fans are translating for Hit the Stage? Considering Momo is competing (or did I confuse that with another dance show).

I was secretly hoping that maybe, just maybe, I was looking in the wrong places for that. I've never actually watched it (properly), but would definitely give it a chance if I could get subs.

----------------

And I've suddenly started to like AOA's 'Good Luck", which is kind of going against all I stand for, haha. It's mainly because of that synth leading into the chorus, but still...

EDIT: Ah, TOTP?!? I should actually use this opportunity to put my essentials list up, even if I do keep saying that, and even if the time has already passed to do anything with that.
