Apparently SM is releasing a Taengoo teaser for Twinkle today. Tiffany and Seohyun to follow.

Census entries stopped at 2PM CST today. For some reason it's being a pain in the ass so I sent the spreadsheet to Alt to help me manage the data. Results should be posted tonight unless he has something better to do.

edit: lol @ infinite

I'm not really into that sound, but I don't mind a showoff song for their image so even if I don't end up liking the song it's ok.

Aside from the girls looking good, that teaser does not impress me at all.

The MV concept? The music? The vocals?

Hard to tell from just a teaser, but imo its looking good.
and hey, at least its not a ballad, and the mv is not shot inside 4 walls.

I guess SM is just stepping up their MV budgets in general. Sherlock looked fine, and Exo got a lot of nifty CG.

But good god if this Soshi sub-unit ends up having a better MV than what Suju gets later this year......I'm already smiling.

Concept pictures seemed trashed. Thank fucking god.

Amen. Best news I've seen all day.

Interesting how there are six backup dancers behind them...maybe to keep the feeling of the 9-member SNSD....?

Loll, I just noticed it now that you mentioned it. Maybe they'll get the other six to do the backup dancing if they decide to perform this in the middle of a Soshi concert or something.

But good god if this Soshi sub-unit ends up having a better MV than what Suju gets later this year......I'm already smiling.

Hyuna skin is so white, if that is not natural then she must use a ton of whitening BB cream.

Or it is the lighting.
She was really pale back in the early days of Invincible Youth, which wasn't that long after her debut I think. But she's probably most well known for the Bubble Pop stuff, where she often had a lot of fake tan on.

I think it is just natural. If she wanted to be pale so bad that she'd use whitening cream it'd be weird for her to also get fake tan at other times.

re: Twinkle

I just don't like the concept of having maknae along with TaeNy. Those two have been an unofficial Soshi duo for so long, and having the youngest one in the sub group just ruins it for me.

The results are in! I apologize in advance for not making these PNG. I hate color bleeding as well.

We had 90 respondents. I'm assuming we have a lot of lurkers here!

Here's the age breakdown.

Is it normal for grown men to like this stuff? I guess it can be! That youngest bracket was a girl from Malaysia, so we're already accidentally ruining at least one girl's self image.

But are we really all men? Not quite. Here is the gender split.

Ethnicity can be difficult to break down.

These are overall percentages, but here is how the interracial demographic breaks down.

Asking about religion, we find that kpop is particularly appealing to heathens.

Within those, there was a handful of combo responses.

1 Christian who isn't Christian
1 Christian who needs to repent of Sone idolatry.
4 Sones who deny the deity of the Power of 9.

When asking if we really do like kpop around here, we came to some interesting results.

But this is what we know of ourselves. What do others know about us?

Do others know your kpop interest?
No, Not in equal magnitude to the reality, Yes

Looking at that, it makes sense that 21.2% of us are comfortable enough that we are currently or planning to stay in Korea for at least 6 months, but not all of us are comfortable with the social assumptions made regarding our reasons for doing so.

As for the sort of things that make people love our community other than hot idols, here is the total vote count.

And these are people who only voted for one option.

Only one of those people who voted for Salazar was a female (not in Aus, sorry bro) so it looks like he has some volunteers if he ever wants to experiment with men. 14 people had an equal appreciation for us all.

It's kind of entertaining tossing the data into a pivot table and messing around with it. You can get any number of random stats, like "how many males aged 23-26 from Australia worship SONE," or "what percentage of the 17-19 year old Asian vote did Sal get." lol

tumblr_m30g7jlxyc1qj2ww9o2_250.gif


I'm surprised the 26+ bracket is that big. I thought we had around 10-15 max.
 
Your thorough and thoughtful analysis of all these answers is amazing, Dice.

But a random question. Where do you guys get CDs, if you do at all, of some of your favorite groups? Normally I just cheat and download music, but some things I like to have a hard copy of. I need a hard copy of Sweet Rendezvous
