Re: KARA suing DSP Media Entertainment for Slave Contract

[quote name='///' post='92185' date='Jan 21 2011, 06:19 AM']Considering they don't actually create anything and are in a highly competitive field, it's actually not that cheap, at least at a guess. Since it's $300,000 each, that adds to over a million. If you consider the manpower required to just p...

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread

The dance is so laughably bad, BUT it made me completely lose it with laughter when I saw Nada's dance from the SNSD episode of Introducing a Star's Friend make an appearance. The part where they hold both their hands at a 90 degree angle forward and sort of shuffle them back and forth was literally...

Re: KARA suing DSP Media Entertainment for Slave Contract

Hara's pulled out of the cancellation. Kinda screams of being threatened by the company to me and getting cold feet. Everyone knows idols are pretty much slave labor, and it made me happy to see a few more standing up for more than a few hours of sleep a night and their fair share of the profits. ht...

I donno, I rather liked their Strong Heart appearance, and the only one who really seems to be awkward is Bom... who is just crazy awkward looking at all times, but in an adorable sort of way haha. That haters gonna hate gif is pretty amazing because of that reason.

Apparently Kangho is a rapist.

It doesn't matter that the person who posted it probably is just an anti who made it up, I see it having pretty serious complications for the groups. :/
