Honestly if I were part of this performance I would probably be laughing myself, even if I were the one falling. :D Props to them for finishing though!

I saw a webm of that a few days ago and it is the only interesting thing that utterly boring group ever did (or had happen to them).

Re: The K-Pop Spam Thread
I admire their level of professionalism, all things considered. Even so I agree that they're not all that interesting.
Lovelyz released their first mini album "Lovelyz8" on October 1st. It's their first release since Jisoo rejoined the group after her scandal, hence the title.
Pre-release track: Shooting Star
Title track: Ah-Choo

JYP got a new girlgroup out called Twice:

Well done, another group name that will make it hard to find on Google.
A bunch of pretty girls, but the blonde one stood out to me. Probably also because those fishnets .

Re: The K-Pop Spam Thread
A friend of mine's a lawyer and he called me yesterday to tell me that one of his clients is set to marry a K-pop star, none other than Jessica Jung, formerly of Girls' Generation. He figured I was the only person he knew who would have heard of her. Apparently, she runs a very successful fashion company in Seoul called Blanc & Eclare. Her fiancé is based in Hong Kong.
Re: The K-Pop Spam Thread
She left the group/was kicked out to pursue her fashion dream/wasn't focusing on the group because of B&E.
Those are old news tho you are not in, Madara!
In other news, U-kiss' former member Dongho, who was one of the youngest Idols to debut, is getting married next month, at the age of 21.
They've been dating for a year and a half but people believe he just might be pregnant.
And also, Brown Eyed Girls will FINALLY come back in November 5th.
K-netz still don't get over the fact that Gain has cut her hair, they never say anything about GD's ridiculous hairstyles but they rage over Gain's

I can't tell from this picture if that's her rumored boyfriend who's also her business partner for Blanc & Eclare, but being based in Hong Kong sounds right. From a quick Google search, looks like it is him: Tyler Kwon.
Well, good for her, I guess. I heard she's going into cosmetics as her next business venture, so hopefully that goes well. It all sounds very unfocused and all over the place to me though.

Re: The K-Pop Spam Thread
Maybe... I just always thought she looked lazy next to the other girls in SNSD, not sure about the unfocused part.

It feels more like a little pet project than anything else, especially since she's the model for it.

She never stood out to me unless she had a solo song, duet or whatever. She was never really focussed on SoShi anyway, at least I don't think she was. I was shocked when I first found out she was leaving but after a while I realised I didn't really care.

Re: The K-Pop Spam Thread
I don't know, I think Jessica is just an American. We don't generally worship our jobs/companies the way South Korean idols appear to be expected to. I still think it's fucking stupid that she was pressured by SM because she deigned to do something with her life that didn't give them profits. Of course, that's only a rumor and no one knows if that's exactly what happened, but it seems highly likely to me given SM's shitty corporate bullshit behavior in the past.
Also, beyond that, we're just lazy, so maybe there were bigger problems and that was the most convenient way to fire her.
More importantly, I worry that she's with Tyler Kwon and now marrying him for all the wrong reasons. If it's true that he's funding her companies, the power play there would make it highly difficult to leave him. I'm just generally skeptical of relationships where one partner has that kind of power over the other, since I've never seen it play out well.

Re: The K-Pop Spam Thread
That's probably not actually it, because a Super Junior member has his own fashion stuff (it started as an sunglasses company just like her's) and it's never been a problem for SME or his group. Jessica has lived in Korea since she was 11. I don't think it's an American thing, I think it's a Jessica thing. She's always been lazy in everything she's done.

Re: The K-Pop Spam Thread
RaNia - Demonstrate Teaser ··· After years of hiatus, they are coming back with the first ever black Idol, Alexandra Reid. Only 3 of the original members are still in the group and they've added 2 new Korean members, Seulji and Hyeme, but apparently nobody cares. Alexandra is actually a black and white mix but it seems like they want to promote her as african-american. Some more info about how Alexandra was added to the group here.
They'll start their promotions tomorrow in M!Countdown. Korean netizens seem to not care about her skin or race, most of them are asking if she even knows Korean and that she's pretty.

Re: The K-Pop Spam Thread
Here is her instagram if you wanna see more of her, she looks 10 times worse in the teaser than in real life for some reason.
Something I noticed now is that she doesn't appear with the group in any of the shots, she also doesn't dance with them.
I'm curious with this 'treatment', since RaNia was pretty much dead are they going to use her for public's attention and after a couple releases she'll go back to the US?
I hope she sticks with the group as a normal Idol. Dancing, appearing on TV, attending fansigns, etc...

Re: The K-Pop Spam Thread
She had visa issues and only joined a month ago. It's probable everything was finished and her stuff was done afterwards.
I'm guessing she won't last long, especially since Rania are 99% not getting paid.

Re: The K-Pop Spam Thread
I think they put her in the group to possibly make it big in North America (because huge groups like SNSD and 2NE1 totally did well too).
I don't find her particularly attractive.

They were supposed to do a simultaneous debut in South Korea and the US back in 2011. Both "Dr. Feel Good" and "Masquerade" had English versions when the mini-album was released. They ended up delaying their US debut though.
They tried to enter the US market again in 2013, this time with Snoop Dogg and 2 Chainz. I'd speculate it had something to do with "Just Go" since it also had an English version. They were even supposed to have an MTV reality show, but again, nothing materialized.
Another two years, and third time's a charm?

Re: The K-Pop Spam Thread
They also had a Spanish debut in the works that fell through last year. And a Korean comeback was planned but some fan site apparently ruined it. They also added a new member last year who left after a few festival performances.

Re: The K-Pop Spam Thread
"Brave New World" is definitely a weird song to use as the album's title track, but "Warm Hole" is a fun, despite how suggestive it is. Who would have thought BEG would be the ones to outdo Stellar's "Vibrato"?
The album itself is very consistent with BEG's style. "Wave" is really standout.

Nine Muses' "Sleepless Night" (lit. "Can't Sleep, Am Hungry") was released today after a barrage of baffling comeback teasers: Sojin, Hyemi, Kyungri, Keumjo, Hyuna, Minah, Sungah, and Euaerin. Produced by Brave Brothers, the song uses an unconventional song structure, with a lengthy instrumental break the latter third of the song.
