The New All Purpose SNSD Thread

[Ap2000]

Some paparazzi magazine uncovered that Taeyeon is dating somebody from a boyband.
 
EDIT:

Seems it's official:

GG Taeyeon, hopefully this will cheer her up and the fans from both sides aren't going apeshit (who am I kidding, the retards are already at work...)
 
Durex. lol

LOL! How empty must your life be to A) get so worked up over a celebrity dating another celebrity, and B) feel so little shame letting your crazy out like that in public?

[Ap2000]

A few groups made a live cover of Mr Mr, which I think is a cool thing:

Unfortunately K-Pop has a lot of retarded fans, especially the boyband fangirls, that just need to be... well, at least shouldn't be allowed on the internet.

[pandapanda]

Pretty much all boyband fangirls are crazy.     They grow out of it.  Sometimes.

[showraniy]

I'm so happy for theeem.


I laughed REALLY hard at the fan who said Taeyeon can't date Baekyun because he's gay. Yaoi-ing up your boy band members for fun is creepy to begin with, but I'm surprised they actually believe they know the orientation of strangers.

[Anderei]

The brunt of it in Korea is actually coming from their respective fanbases. Taeyeon's fans have been far more forgiving to her than Baekhyun's have been to him. I don't know why they're freaking out. The odds of this lasting isn't high anyway.
 
It's probably because he's from EXO. No one has cared about who the other girls have been dating.

[showraniy]

Yeah, I had the same impression that no one cared about the other girls' boyfriends. I guess it's just because he's in a boyband.
 
I'm juuuuust starting to get into Exo, so I'm still at the stage of recognizing faces and even knowing the names of people in the group. But it's kind of exciting to have two celebrities I somewhat follow dating one another now.
 
Still, a few years back, I'd see some fans even saying the members of SNSD were gay for one another, and would ship certain pairings. I've seen this in other Kpop group fandoms too, and I always thought it was weird, but it's even weirder seeing that they really seem to believe it too.
 
Oh well. Either way, good luck to those two.

Indestructible audio
 
I don't like this, the song is not bad
but, I was waiting for a song that sounds like their 1st japanese album, so I'm upset :(
 
And it has way too much Tiffany
and she used to be my favorite voice, but now that she has tons of lines and spotlight I'm getting tired of her voice

[JPope]

It's a very J-Pop ballad. I like it.
 
I couldn't care less who's singing, but that's just me.

Tiffany always had a lot of lines.
 
Pop-ballads...

On the 25th there's a photobook going to be released:

I wonder how much gravure we'll get.

[Ap2000]

And TaeTiSeo will get a new album for later this year !
Some say September, some say it's not yet fixed when.

[Derby]

But is it official? because I've been hearing that TTS will have a comeback since September 2013 XD

Chain Reaction
 
So this song was included in that Japanese 'Best' Album, but I didn't see it on the tracklist when I posted it here, so maybe is a bonus track like Blue Jeans
As I see on Youtube this song was COMPOSED by Ke$ha and other 3 songwriters, and she also made a demo like Run Devil Run
Anyway, I like this song better than Indestructible

I thought about buying the new Best thingy CD, since the last SNSD CD I own is Oh! (which was super spectacular for the price).
 
However, Chain Reaction sounds like a stupid and uninteresting song to me.

[Ap2000]

I don't know if we (still) have any other huge Crayon Pop fans here, but they visited Los Angales recently:

EDIT:

This should have gone into the general K-Pop thread.

[Ap2000]

TaeTiSeo are getting their own show called "The TaeTiSeo" (how original), starting on the 25th:

[showraniy]

Yes, all my yes.

[moralar]

I tried watching a bit of the Jungsis reality show but could only endure the awkwardness for a few minutes. The two TTS previews so far seem a little more interesting, thankfully.

Yeah, the Jessica & Krystal show just seemed like fan service pandering and not realistic at all.
 
Where did you see previews ?

[moralar]

This contains both previews. It is evidently not exactly a "reality" show but maybe closer to one of those Morning Musume DVD magazines.

Yay, Seohyun seems much more forward and self-assured in this show, plus less girls means more Seo time!


I'm super excited for this. Taeyeon and Tiffany seem equally awesome on screen too.

Taeyeon and Tiffany are my favorites, and they are amusing enough in variety when given some sort of broad direction by the show format. The first teaser falls into the well-worn trope of Seohyun being so frustratingly straitlaced that she actually ends up playing the boke to the others' tsukkomi, so there's a clearly defined group dynamic to work with. Hopefully we will also see her branch out and contribute in other ways. I am cautiously optimistic!
 
Let's just forget the fact that the last time I was cautiously optimistic about SNSD, we got IGAB out of it.

Well, we can always hope for TTS to fulfill your (sleazy) dreams...
 
 
Eventhough they never reached the shitty depths of IGAB again, I think we can be optimistic.

Here's the video from their Las Vegas photobook:

Bizarrely, they are wearing clothes over their swimwear. Who does that ?
