You know what, this song's growing on me. It may not be a good fit for the group conceptually but still, I do quite like it. The EP's intro track is rather nice too. Very strong Mass Effect OST vibes. (Edit: Well, at the beginning anyway.)

As an aside, I quite admire the fact that Starship has gone with a TVXQ/SNSD-style name for this group. That alone seems like quite a statement of intent.

Pledis girls covering Nu'est latest release.
Yo, Pledis suddenly remembered they have female artists!!

BEAST - 「GUESS WHO?」(SHORT VER.)
Beast's japanese releases are always months late to whatever trend is semi-popular in korea.

So 9muses basically redid their Muse in the city concert for their first fan meet in China.

Sungah preview
GUN (Hyemi focus) (Hyuna focus (awful framerate edition)) (Minha focus)
VCR1 (Fantastic, with a remix of their song Muse).
VCR2
VCR3 (Credits and BTS)

At this point, I would approve if they go full on chinese promotions since korea is just ignoring them.

Pungdeng-E speking some english because they got invited to an event in Hawai

Maybe Seohyun isn't really interested in a solo release and is more interested in doing musicals. She just started another one recently.

I dont think Yuri would get an album BEFORE Tiffany, Seohyun or even Sunny?



Anyways, I want a Taeyeon vs Jessica album showdown, just for the comments.

HyosungGAF clearly AWOL and still not posting her "Swagger" video, campaign photos or gifs.


Cheng Xiao post after Dahye is fitting because she may eventually be a threat to Dahye's dynamic dance machine status.

She has the current Musical, a Drama and a Movie all scheduled for this year, so i guess she won't release anything or it will be by the end of the year.

Is their name Korean? From what I understand it's thought of as really old fashion? Which is why everyone goes with English. But it seemed to work out well for the couple that do it (DBSK/SNSD)


Edit: It seems it says that Yuri might release an album. Yuri and not Seolady? WTF.

Like 2007-2010 I would have guessed Yuri as the first SNSD to get a solo and Seohyun as the last I would expect. Then again honestly Sunmi would have probably been the last WG I would have expected to do a solo first so you never know. I just hope they aren't going to rush Taeyeon with another half comeback... she already dominated with I which was just part of the Agit project where the other songs (Jonghyun, Kyuhyun and Ryeowook) flopped and Rain which was just part of the Station project. It's time for a full album with full promotions.


Comeback hair plz

yess Yooa!

I get the feeling they are gonna get burred again with all the comebacks in March. :(

Here's some best girl Jiho since I've never seen much of her around here.


She's "special"

Apink released a new Japanese single. The song had potential but it's pretty much ruined by the irritating 'my brand new days' hook. I like Chorong's 'lesson one/two/three' part though.

So I was thinking for the last days that my mind was playing tricks... but nope, it looks like Apink has finally stop rereleasing the same song... and it's actually good?

It does sound like something that KARA would release ;_;

They still suck as a group though, and they have zero charisma. They look like nugus with the completely forced cutesy gestures.

4TEN still has the better KARA revival of the year, though.

In more agency news, Yedang Entertainment (home of EXID) has changed their name to Banana Culture.

I was aware that they had signed with Banana Plan (owned by the son of China's richest man, and which handles T-ara in China) for Chinese activities, but this looks like Yedang was outright bought.

Hmm, Dasoni track release yet Hani is on break.

I knew RV was coming back because they changed their hair. Regardless, HYPE TRAIN NOW BOARDING

lol they always get extra enthusiastic when you feed them
 
Lol that Jimin x Xuimin duet is surprisingly cute. Jimin's voice is hit or miss, but this she sounds alright here. Cute song. Also Xiumin is just about the only Exo related thing that's relevant to me, so I'm happy to see him do things outside of his group.

Speaking of which, we're now halfway (or just a bit more) through Produce 101. For those watching, I'm wondering what's your Top 11 looking like?

I've got 9 core (no particular order):
Kim Sejeong (Jellyfish)
Kim Chungha (M&H)
Choi Yoojung (Fantagio)
Kim Nayoung (Jellyfish)
Im Nayoung (Pledis)
Zhou Jieqiong (Pledis)
Kim Doyeon (Fantagio)
Jeon Soyeon (Cube)
Kang Mina (Jellyfish)

And 3 that change around for the remaining 2 spots:
Jung Chaeyeon (MBK)
Jeon Somi (JYP)
Kwon Eunbin (Cube)

Edit: Now that the number of contestants is getting lower, Mnet is changing the public voting system from 11 a day to 1 a day (I think that's for the round that starts after the current round (up to Mar 5)). That's going to change some things.

Chungha said:
I hope M&H has a proper group in the works - they only have 2 trainees in Produce 101 and as far as I can tell have no groups currently. Chungha needs to debut.

my top 11 is a mess and would make a very weird group

anyway, Somi101 bringing attention to the plebs is always great. my girl was damn good and her hair slapping Dani in the face is already iconic
