B.A.P. does it again

   I'm still on the fence whether any of them can sing, and all they base on are huge, ribs crushing beats. Nevertheless, there's something that makes me want to replay "Power" everytime I need sudden adrenaline shot (and I don't have any to spare).

They released new MV, almost 7 minutes long that represents what's best in Korean MVs - stories. I wrote about that countless times, Koreans do know how to make MVs.

Apologies a la japonaise

   I have written this so many times, fanculture in Asia fascinates me almost on the same level as nationalism in Japan. Sadly, there is not even one opportunity for me to write any article dealing with that particular group of people so different from us like apes. We're not the same species, trust me, and I was a fangirl, sometimes still am. "Fanculture" fascinates me on the level more wise people than me called as "mysterium tremendum et fascinosum". And this is true, y'all.

It's just airport. Korean way.

   

   The year 2012 is most certainly sponsored by letter "F". Like fandoms, freaks and few other words starting with "f" I'm not supposed to write in the first sentence.

After reading this article (well written for a change), I realized that blaming only fandoms or only managers is just stupid. We should also blame artists themselves for being idiots. Oh we know their managers are lazy and greedy, they care little about those idols yet care a lot about the revenue those are generating. It never occurred to them that with fandoms becoming more and more violent, idols need some devil's invention like bodyguards maybe? So that no one would go through to slap an idol or grab him by the head. It's an insane situation, yet it stands still because no one cares to do anything.

SHINee shining

I don't always write about SHINee, but when I do... it's always 1/5th of it, OK, OK. Since Jonghyeon remains sweet idiot that he is, I'm not going to fuc... focus on... whatever...

(*after 2 hours of running mindlessly and cold shower*)

One girl, named Donica Sterling met with our shining boys in Korea, and according to JAD:
Herbert Black, president of American Iron & Metal, sponsored Sterling’s trip. Sterling will stay in the country for two weeks as she visits disability rehabilitation centers, meets celebrities and attends K-pop shows.

Very nice of boys (and SMEnt that did it without much publicity), but very, very low of fangirls.

Come to the fandom they said...

Back in the days, when I was a fair maiden, I had no PC, no internet, but my heart was that of a fangirl always. I think everyone had such period in their life. Back in the 80’s or 90’s being a fan meant something totally different, insane to some point, yes, but purer and clearer than this bog we have now.

I don’t want to complain about the centre of all fandoms, I’m not going to argue whether this-or-that music is good or bad. Because, ultimately, it’s the music, right? I truly enjoy some Kpop bands/singers.

What I loathe is their fandoms.

Mistaken identity

Learn the difference.

  

   I’ve been planning to write on this topic for a long, long time. Somehow other things got in a way and this was postponed. Finally, I had some time to spare and collect my (scarce) thoughts and write a post.

My affair with Korean entertainment developed into serious relationship, this is why so many things amuse me now. Fangirls are one thing, but illusions that fangirls have, are infecting, oops, I mean, influencing the journalism in Korea. And this is not about ‘we-all-know-which-website’ articles. This is about the trend that has roots in fangirls’ perception of their bubble world and how it affect the real world.

Y U No sarang me, Oppa?

   I thought that not everyone follows me some places else, and this is too good to hide it. I found it on tumblr actually, but I bet it's available everywhere connected to broadly understood Kpop fandom.

Fangirls are scary, dumb and stubborn. Those three traits combined make them almost as scary as ACTA and SOPA combined.

Oppa, please date every horny fangirl that dreams of holding hands with you! So we, usual fans, could get a break from their whining, moaning, spazzing and idiocy.
