I won't write about B.A.P right now because I can't think of an angle right now that would be amusing rather than just lecturing, dull and full of guesswork. Maybe if one of them slips onstage on some poo or something I'll have a good "hook" to take me into writing about them, until then they can fight it out in court with TS and I'll just eat my popcorn from the sidelines.Kpopalypsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485316114199989423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-65502568025585588492014-12-07T20:34:43.484-08:002014-12-07T20:34:43.484-08:00Agreed.

I'd absolutely believe that the only two MVs in k-pop which have ever been claimed to cost $1M definitely do, in fact looking at them knowing what I know, I'm amazed the cost didn't come in even higher.Kpopalypsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485316114199989423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-79610428396762231672014-12-07T13:58:38.536-08:002014-12-07T13:58:38.536-08:00You took this long to figure that out?You took this long to figure that out?Kpopalypsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485316114199989423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-64869832035185516362014-12-07T13:08:36.831-08:002014-12-07T13:08:36.831-08:00Same with the dance practice videos, some have lot...Same with the dance practice videos, some have lots of views.gumdeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16176571456227420680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-27663810396341865232014-12-07T12:05:56.450-08:002014-12-07T12:05:56.450-08:00i still think the sugar free video could have been...i still think the sugar free video could have been better, but now i appreciate it a little more.GONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10580157073505854597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-85138388833607821682014-12-07T10:55:34.209-08:002014-12-07T10:55:34.209-08:00So why do western MVs cost less?
