Since you guys scared away Shinbi earlier this year, there has been a lack of Question of the Week and Stupid Things Fangirls Utter articles. Those were the two weekly articles where you guys essentially talked about whatever, so we're bringing something similar but different here.
Essentially, any K-entertainment discussion in these articles are fine. I've noticed that I've been the only one posting for the past few months, not being able to cover all of the major stories, which has lead to a lot of off-topic discussion in the comments. I don't necessarily mind off-topic discussion, but I have realized that you guys want to talk about other things instead of just the topic the article is based on.
In the first comment below, I'll get the shitfest started.

So I have seen that Kyungri has had an anti-fan pester her on Twitter lately.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.soompi.com/2013/06/07/nine-muses-kyung-ri-responds-to-obscene-comments-on-twitter/
I know AKP did an article on this, but I can't even click on anything there. I can't search, I can't even go to the next page. What a piece of shit.
Anyway, instead of trying to make the person apologize, the company should have just hired a couple of Korean netizens to troll Kyungri's anti-fan. That's what I'd do if I were a CEO.
ah so the industry has finally come to the point of artists being treated like prostitutes.
Deletehe used same twitter handle as GDragon and said:

Deleteribbit ribbit, let's jump away together.
DeleteI also think you guys really want to see me break down and go insane while reviewing EXO's XOXO album.
ReplyDeleteEXO is a piece of shit. The funny thing is if they were under any entertainment company besides SM, no one would give two shits about them. Basically their fan base is made out of sm whores that will digest any piece of shit thats produced by them. If any body deserves more credit it would b.a.p who has average songs that I wouldn't enjoy but aren't slapped together in a day like exo's.
Delete+1^
DeleteAs much as I love B.A.P, the English in their comeback songs is awful.
DeleteGet your mind outta the gutter
DeleteHey shout your voice to the world?
You only get last chance, you know?
Wolf might have been trash (obscenely catchy and fun to sing trash, but still trash), but the rest of the album is decent.
DeletePeter Pan- exo k, me likey. Baby was cute, and Baby dont cry, My Lady and Black Pearl were good
DeleteI like Don't Go. Everyone in Exo is at least a decent -if not a good - vocalist. So I don't know why SM keeps making them rap when it sounds like poop
Deletedear taemin,
ReplyDeleteplease stick to dancing. you look terrible when you try to be a man and your voice is like jonghyun's but terrible. good SHINee songs are few and far between and you are ruining them.
thank you.

DeleteTaemin reached his peak in Lucifer... ahh if only he had sticked to dancing
DeleteSistar is going to realease another "grrr me so subtle and sexy watch us win without any fan base AGAIN" .....manipulation is in the air ladies and gentlemen.
ReplyDeleteI really just wanna see Bora. I don't have any fucks to give to the other three.
Deleteyou read my mind. I would go lez for her. the rest are ugly and weird. especially dasom and soyu.
DeleteAll Time Low and One Ok Rock pwn anything kpop~
ReplyDeleteBtw thnx akfg for introducing me Ulala Sessions~ Havent really given two shits about kpop this year
davichi's turtle is also a good listen
DeleteOne Ok Rock is so basic for a rock band, though. Japan has much better rock bands, like School Food Punishment and Radwimps.
DeleteBesides, most of the Korean music I enjoy is outside of Kpop.
Well i just love Taka's voice!! Yes basic, but not really.
DeleteI loved Turtle.
all time low sucks
Deleteall time low is horrible at all aspects of their job.
Deleteone ok rock is good the first couple of times because you listen to answer is near or anything by them and its like YEAHHHH THEY HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY THIS IS AWESOME but after four or five songs you realize they they keep doing the same thing over and over. there are a lot of better bands even in the same genre in japan.
I only listen to ATL when im high. Ok. I actually cant stand them otherwise.
DeleteOne ok rock is like your typical teenage fangirl type-rockband. Thats the fanbase they serve, same with ATL.
DeleteI agree with whoever said Radwimps. Also I'll add in flumpool though they're more on the indie side sometimes.
The best bad girl song by far is by BUMKEY ft supreme team, that is like one of the most legit song kpop produced in the last 2-3 weeks or so.
ReplyDeleteBoA's between heaven and hell was FUCKING AWESOME
BoA has been on a roll lately. Between Heaven and Hell is jjangbak and I love Tail of Hope.
Deletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNPZeBoovKU
I'll probably do a review on it soon. I have a funny storyline to use for that review.
I don't really like Tail of Hope lol, I just don't find it catchy or anything, it's just a bit plain for me.
Deleteoh and about the bumkey MV, it seems like korea has been more accepting toward homosexuality? which is great I guess
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFDD_3IV7fU
Oh my... Tail of Hope is what Hurricane Venus wished it was XD
DeleteNope...n-nope, it's fucked up. Fucked up, man. I REGRETFULLY let myself be teased by off-topic talk. You don't give a lion hand grenades, it's just gonna up it's prey.
ReplyDeleteDon't tease me, bro.
On a more serious note, what the hell does the west get out of socially marketing kpop?
http://smudgem.blogspot.dk/2013/04/the-hidden-meanings-of-gentleman-and.html#comment-form
http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jan/04/entertainment/la-et-ms-girls-generation-i-got-a-boy-20130105
Without talking about the songs themselves, what possible advantage would it give the (socio)economic memetics, or wealth, of the western world to outsource consumption of pop music to South Korea? That is, if it's not just straight up fanboys, disguising themselves as the "journalists" they officially are.
Label money is one, but why would you cater to a demographic the investors themselves, are spending money on inflating?
I can see the LA Times running a story about Kpop since there's a sizeable Korean community there, but the rest probably just want some traffic. American media is so bad now that no one reads/watches it, so they'll grasp at any straws to get some hits.
DeleteAnd the bubble hasn't even burst yet. Ha! it's gonna be great seeing, the already struggling has-been news giants, implode into articles about Taylor Swift's top 5 favorite sushi rolls, once the government comes clean about the RGDP.
DeleteThe review for EXO's XOXO will be a waste of time somewhat, even though I have to admit that Baby Don't Cry and Don't Go are pretty decent. Wolf and Let out the beast are so crappy, what is wrong with SM and their fierce/fantasy concepts gone wrong? Also, what's up with the "Kiss and Hug" versions? Is it like saying EXO-K and M? I think that EXO could be an average-to-good group if they had another management team which would choose the decent singers/dancers from both -K and -M and dump the rest. That way they could make a new group with 6-7 guys. But hey, SM could debut a group of 20 dudes with only 3 of them with actual talent and they would still get praise and stupid fangirls to buy their merchandise.
ReplyDeleteOf course :3 It'd be hilarious, though XD
DeleteDump: Sehun, Xiumin, Chanyeol, Suho
DeleteKeep: Chen, Luhan, Lay, Tao, Kai(even though I despise him, he can dance well), D.O I guess, and Kris because every group needs that member that isn't really good at anything except making fan girls cream their pants(and well I guess he can translate).
Brutally murder: Baekhyun
you would honestly keep lu han and kris over baekhyun
Delete.....
Well, I can't actually judge based on looks because they all look the same to me. I can't believe they are in their 20s, they look the same age as Zelo. But based on vocals, I think D.O and Chen are the best ( I'd say Baekhyun too but idk ). I don't know about their dancing skills cause I don't watch the MVs/performances to judge. Last year when I first saw Kai I thought he was at least average-looking ( more like an improved version of Taemin ) but idk, he looks pretty plastic to me now. D.O is cute tho'.
DeleteEither way, exo is shit. So is Bap, but less. Both suck in the looks department, too.
DeleteJongup from BAP looks average when he's not wearing makeup or that horrible blond hair. I have yet to find an asian dude who can sport blond hair. Himchan looks good with black hair. EXO look like 16 years old to me, they are definitely not on the good-looking side.
Delete^if you mean that ridiculous lemon yellow shade of blond then tbh i don't think anybody of any race looks good with it. dirty blond has had better success; kris (well i don't think he's attractive but he did look 30008897398472094820 times better with the old manga boy hair), seungho, taeyeon, sungyeol, mirotic era yunho etc etc etc
Deletewhile i do agree with you that exo does for the most part look extremely prepubescent, that observation does not apply to lay because he is a part time sex god
Seungho looks indeed good with blond/brown hair. He's such a cutie. I don't remember sungyeol wearing blond hair before tho. I know Sungyeol had in the BTD era but that was just another way of saying "hey, I'm a girl". I googled Lay just now and yes, dat guy is hot. Definitely better than the others in EXO minus D.O.
DeleteI mean Sungjong in the BTD era
DeleteLay has an odd face, but I find him to be sexy. Hmm dimples? Too bad he works for Sm and not hollister.
Delete@Xiss
DeleteLuhan and Kris have already proven to be the most popular members, and popularity counts for a group to succeed. Get rid of them and the whole thing falls apart. I've already admitted Kris doesn't do much except be good looking(in the eyes of fan girls), but Luhan at least is a solid lead singer. Maybe not the most talented singer but he holds his own, even live. Also he's consistent, unlike D.O for example.
Yes I am serious about murdering Baekhyun. He sings alright but his tone of voice is really not appealing to me. Also he is so fucking annoying. He's easily the fugliest member(you can't hide fugly with eyeliner, sorry), and if I have to see him making this stupid face while singing one more time I swear...
http://i41.tinypic.com/30ni26o.jpg
^ hahahaha i guess it's just me then i think baek looks like a puppy and i love the tone of his voice so he would be one of my first 'keep' members.
Deletelu han and kris were more popular by a landslide when exo debuted but now what i'm seeing is that more and more people are recognizing the value of members like chen who actually do the work in the group.
@life: i don't remember when but some times during 'the chaser' era yeol did have dirty blond hair, although they changed it to brown pretty soon.
I actually like all of them somewhat. They all looked hotter back in the days of mama though...Their stylists must've been high or somthin
DeleteWhat do you guys think of Secret's Jieun?
ReplyDeletePpl usually pay attention to Hyosung as the hottest, but i think Jieun is legit the best looking... And her voice is basic :/
DeleteHyosung has the best body, but Jieun has the best face.
DeleteHyosung isn't the hottest, fuck dem gums. Jieun is the best, but Sunhwa isn't too far behind imo.
DeleteWasn't Jieun the worst vocalist for the original Immortal Song 2 cast? Still, she's not bad by idol standards.
I said best body kneegrow. Going by faces alone, it's Jieun barely above Sunhwa >>>> Hyosung >>>>>>>>>>> diarrhea >>>>>>> rotting corpse covered in diarrhea >>>>>> Hana/Zinger.
DeleteYes, Jieun finished last each time on IS2, but I wouldn't necessarily go by that. Hyorin only won because she has a powerful voice, but even someone with an untrained ear like me can tell she can't control it well and she ruins songs by adding a bunch of unnecessary notes to songs.
well there isn't really anything to dislike about jieun but then again there isn't really anything to love either; sunhwa (who i personally think is the prettiest) and hyosung get a lot of attention because they have distinct personalities and put themselves out there and jieun is kind of stuck as the moderately talented sweet girl.
DeleteMy Secret pretty faces ranking.
Delete1. Sunhwa.
2. Jieun, though she's my favorite member because I find her really sweet and pretty.
3. Hyosung.
4. Zinger.
To me, Zinger's not bad-looking or comparable to a rotting corpse covered in diarrhea as you like to put it, Chuck. I say she's more of a molded loaf of bread.
There is something SO out of proportion about Zinger. I think her head is WAYYYY too huge for her body or something
DeleteYeah... SM should have let BoA compose her own music sooner. Tail of Hope completely destroys anything SM has released this year (with the exception lying with BoA's Disturbance and Henry's Trap).
ReplyDeleteOnew got molested on Tooniverse by a pervert dressed in drag. He had his hands up Onew's crack and everything. The idiot even went after the infamous dubulge. Poor Onew. Start at 10:15.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifvxYldZ-xA
I felt second-hand violation
DeleteI kind of see why that dude molested Onew... His voice easily covers up how weird his face looks (kind of like Daesung) :3
DeleteNell is making a comeback. iku iku.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.koreaboo.com/index.html/_/music/nell-releases-a-preview-for-upcoming-album-r20773
YESSSSSS. Finally, some medicine to my ears after the atrocity that is Wolf..
DeleteHenry's debut anyone?
ReplyDeletei liked it nohomo. I was listening and wondering which one out of Kyuhyun and Taemin would ruin it with a rap, but it nevar happened. speaking of them two, I can understand adding Kyuhyun for his falsetto part, but Taemin doesn't add anything that couldn't have been achieved without him. anyway, nice to see something good come out of SM this year.
now we just have to wait and see what turgid shite Super Junior comes out with this year, that those fucking ELFs will make win a Daesang because it's their last chance to see their beloved oppars together, for the third fucking year in a row
I knew Taemin was gonna do his usual Jonghyun-esque vocals but I was half expecting Kyuhyun to pull a Minho. Glad that didn't happen. I think it was wise to add Taemin if only to balance out the stiffness of Kyuhyun's dancing. Henry's got more musical talent than most of SJ and I'm just happy he's been let out of SM's basement before they forgot about him.
DeleteTrap was good, I mostly agree with you except I thought even Kyuhyun's part was pretty pointless. Henry could have easily done everything himself. I'm just glad the other 2 barely did anything and were forgettable. I know having them there is SM's plan to help Henry become more popular, but I'm pretty sure he is good enough to do that on his own.
DeleteThe video itself was an interesting struggle between Henry trying to be a classy mother fucker and SM forcing him to look "YG hood".
Seriously, "Trap" was actually OK. It wasn't strong enough to carry a solo "debut," but it was surprisingly not that bad. Henry = cutie ... D-Did I lose all credibility? Fuuuuuuuuuuu------
Delete^henry is very adorable i don't see why you would lose credibility for stating the obvious
Deleteit was alright. there is something very "i've heard this before" about the song but it's listenable. i agree that it could have done without taemin, though.
//i always think kyuhyun is a good addition to a song, but i think he is so good at low notes and nobody seems to want him to do songs like that which is sad.
I wish they would've just not had Taemin and Kyuhyun and let Henry be a classy motherfucker.
DeleteHenry is cool
I've been busy with life. Once I get on my feet I'll post more.
ReplyDeleteAlso, WAB is over. I deleted it for lack of posts. No good having something that lacks material.
I don't mind people being busy, but everyone became busy all at once lol. That has caused to me posting more than I usually would.
Deletebeen trying to post when I can. Also sometimes I have nothing to talk about LOL.
DeleteSame here, tears for life. Finals suck.
DeleteI'm always busy as fuck. Sorry about that. Also I have sulli-fag's problem of few topics coming up that interest me to write about. I don't want to write just for the sake of it if there's already 6 other articles on the web about exactly the same topic that already cover the same ground. But I promise that when I do post it'll be about the content of 5 articles anyone else would write so hopefully that makes up for it ha.
Delete;_; Fear of failure rising ...
DeleteAs I tell everyone, real life comes first before writing about Kpop. Don't worry about it. I appreciate everyone's help, but like I said, it's unusual for everyone to become busy at the same time haha.
DeleteHoly shit last time i was here people were still talking about gangam style :o
ReplyDeleteI have exams *cries forever* Fucking engineering school
Anyways,I somehow got to catch up with some things, (not thanks to Allkshit new layout, smh) and i'm glad to say that MBLAQ is still MBLAQ and released a decent song to compensate the amount crappy debuts/comebacks of the last uh... year?
I will have a break after i finish this second batch of exams, probably will get some time to write... something, i dunno
Sulli_fag, bless me and my grades with an asshole-related comment please -u-
i don't understand what smoky girl is or why thunder has that ridiculous pink hair but the cut-out suits are something i imagine male strippers wearing and because mblaq is better looking and better built on average than most groups i enjoy that.
DeleteTHIS. Honestly Seungho is the only member i care. Reason of why i was ultimately dissapointed with the live version since he didn't sing shit (i guess all that belly fat+dancing are really something). I really can't stand G.O. He's like Taeyeon, without the charm of... being Taeyeon.
DeleteI'm fine with the rest, but Thunder resembles Dara so damn much sometimes that it creeps me out
Review SNSD's latest Japanese song! Their Japanese releases have consistently been good in my opinion (besides the egregious mistake that was The Boys). AKP didn't even have the common courtesy of making the MV article one of the highlights. It's struggling to break one mil, which is child's play for the usual SNSD release. Also SM failed at tagging it properly. The official MV is so hard to find through a simple YT or Google search.
ReplyDeleteSNSD deserve better than this. They're the only ones carrying SM right now. EXO? I laughed.
Is it wrong that I kinda like their choreography for their "OOOOF" song?
DeleteIt's not wrong, the choreography is one of the only redeeming things about Wolf.
DeleteAbout Love & Girls, why did SM only upload the dance version? Also, I thought the actual video basically was a dance version so I don't even know why there are 2 separate videos.
Soyeon got a new nose and I barely recognised her. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BMOmLNgCUAAimYO.jpg:large

"Which album do you want AKF to review?"
ReplyDeleteNeeds a "none" answer.
Honestly, neither seems like a really interesting album, especially since m-flo's SNSD album was such crap.
It was a club mix, not a remix. All Taku did was put the songs in a better order and made better transitions so that it flowed well. It has nothing to do with his actual ability. It was just a quick buck that SNSD and Taku made from doing this.
DeleteSo, so-called expert said that Sohee is in top 30 most beautiful idol.
