Somin has left April. She's still with DSP, and April will be a 5 member group.

I'm sure it was a tough decision for her after having finally debuted, but I'm happy she decided this. I didn't feel like April's style suited her. I only hope she gets out of DSP soon because I don't see them doing anything for her.

It would be something if she joined Kara.

Wouldn't even surprise me if she joined Kara and DSP eventually said fuck all we're going to have graduation concept.

That's the one from SMTOWN, the original was from the old SMEnt channel.
Sunny leaves FM Dating after 1,5 years. That's a 7 day / week show, thinking about it must be crazy and tiring. I guess upcoming activities have a weight for a decision.
 
K Tahiti released their song "Skip". It's like some kind of Orange Caramel type quirky song, not amazing but eh, cute.

Since it was brought up, here is my list of my fave 2015 kpop songs with my trash taste.

Dal★Shabet - Joker (Lemme rep my girls)
AOA - Heart Attack
4minute - Crazy
Vividiva - Service
Hello Venus - I'm Ill
Stellar - Vibrato
OMG - Closer

Seventeen - Adore u
N-Sonic - Blackout
Legend - Shadow
Myname - Mayday (not a title track)
History - Slow Down (ditto ^)

Yeah, given how April turned out, I suppose this is probably for the best. I just hope she gets a second third fourth chance elsewhere. If she did join Kara, that would be pretty amazing.

I still can't quite understand how DSP managed to screw up the formation of April so badly though. Could it really have been so difficult to take the six remaining trainees from Kara Project and put them in a group together? Then again...

DSP gonna DSP I guess...

I was just about to post that. I feel like something weird is going on. Why would the leader leave the group after just one song but still stay under DSP?

Contract? Same as why Jessica wasn't out of SM immediately after being booted from SNSD. I also thought about Somin joining Kara (and which would be the preferable option), but I don't have faith in DSP.

MAP6 - Storm(스톰) M/V
Girl's Day's 'brother group"
 
Oh I like the new boygroup from Girl's Day's company. They are called Map6 which is a crappy name, but their song 'Storm' is pretty cool.

It weirds me out because I unironically loved the group A-Prince which disbanded, but 4 of the members upgraded to this new group Map6. (They obviously have no luck with group names). From ultra low-budget nugu to being the 'little brother' group of one of the nation's bigger girlgroups.

Good Guy KpopGAF reminding me of Kisum's sweet song. I will return the favor and remind you all of Hara's "What about me?" (lol perfect name for a forgotten one) with Youngji.

As for my list, I'll need to do an extensive review so late-year bias is factored out well enough.

Pinkurocket and llehuty asleep at the wheel. The Woohee and Subin BNT photosets have yet to be posted in this thread.
Subin ain't even my type but she sure can make some nice pictures.

Actually I'm not a big fan of the BNT photoshoots. The behind videos are great, but the pictures they choose always look a bit off. Not sure why.
That said, this shot of Woohee is spectacular.

So good, I actually like the live version more than the recorded one for some weird reason.

Good stuff.
She needs to release more songs
Definitely.
I really like this, my favorite f(x) title track and one of my favorite song this year, unfortunately I don't like the album as much as I liked Red Light.

I am fucking livid. How dare youtube treat SNSD like this when SNSD has done so much for youtube. I will be boycotting youtube from now on, and only use dailymotion and vimeo till youtube rectify this horrendous error and publicly apologize to SNSD, SM and Sones.

In all seriousness, it's a damn shame. What's the most viewed girl group mv now? I Am the Best?

At least they could put a decent HD version this time...
Gee MV is better than Genie MV.

I don't know how I feel about Chained Up :s Sound wise it's messy but there are parts in the song that I still sorta like.

News edit: T-ara’s Hyomin to Come Back With a Solo Album This Winter

So next year? Winter: 21 Dez 2015 - 21 Mar 2016


fixed?
 
3 things:

1. I hope Rainbow does well. Watch their interviews they are easily the most chill and fun girl groups out there.

2. Are the Melon Awards a big deal?

3. I like Tae better with black hair.

EXID's teasers are looking great but the make-up is looking quite off on LE & Junghwa, they don't look like themselves anymore.

Melon Awards started in 2009 only, maybe is too recent to be considered a top award. It's mostly about digital sales on their plataform, which Melon alone is some 50% of the whole market, and so the winners can be well predicted, but it considers also fan voting and physical sales to an extent. But as some other awards, if it's just a feeling or a fact, it seems to be also influenced by interests, but with less flexibility than, let's say, MAMA.
2012 seems to be somehow a turning point on the awarding season as more and more importance were given to fandoms and agencies, maybe I'm wrong though.

Better or not, I also miss black haired Tae, until then,

빅스(VIXX) - 사슬 (Chained up) Official M/V
This is good, but lol at the stylings. And Raveeeeh is less messier than usual. Not their best release or anything, but good enough.

THE KOXX(칵스) - echo
Nothing groundbreaking, but solid.

What a trainwreck. At least they look hot.


This is so damn good. SM on a roll during the 2nd half of the year.

2. Are the Melon Awards a big deal?

None of the music awards are a big deal IMO. Based on pure sales (iirc) are the Golden Disk awards and Seoul Music Awards, which give them more credibility than these random awards with weights with different aspects (It's still, at the end of the day, fandom based)

Then there is the Korean Music awards which are decided by people that are in the music industry, which ends up rewarding quality and will rarely see idols getting prizes. I don't know if they are a big deal, but they should, really solid winners in most of the cases (Neon Bunny, Glenn Check, IU, etc).

The other awards (melon, MAMA,etc) are trash (usually getting prices everyone that decides to show up), but who watches those for the awards anyway? It's all about the special performances and remixes.
