I think that's very lazy for a new company and a new designer if she wants people to respect her.
And that charity is a hedge-fund charity whose first international branch was in the Cayman Islands. If you want to help needy children, why is your first international expansion to a huge tourism spot that is one of the wealthiest islands in the world, and the wealthiest in the Caribbean?
And as I mentioned before, when it was originally announced, it made zero mention of said charity at all. I'm still trying to figure out why they'd want to partner with Jessica's company at all. It's so new you don't even know if you'll get a decent return from that one design.
It's not weird to me that there's no reward, it's everything else.

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
Oh, is that standard procedure? I retract my indignation then, but still find the whole company shady for the plagiarism issues. I find it hard to believe that company was invented without any research into another company with the same name selling the same products.
Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
Ah, I'm not defending them, just saying that this kind of "contests" is pretty commonplace really.

In this case the name of the designer even gets on every single item sold.

This is not a minor thing, either, especially if it becomes a popular design. Having a "Designed by (Winner's Name Here)" tag in a hot design would launch that designer's career pretty much over night.

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
I forgot to post this but, here is another new song from The Best: Show Girls
As some of you know Showgirls is my favorite movie so I'm really happy with this
I like the song overall but the chorus could be way better, is way too simple and repetitive..

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
I'm rooting for Sica, but something about the way this business is being handled smells fishy to me. I don't know. I thought people were being paranoid when they first started talking about her boyfriend being shady, but perhaps I should have known better. I just found it a bit ridiculous that people were hating on him because a few gossip mags claimed he cheated on his last girlfriend, while totally skipping over the fact that Sooyoung's beau stalked his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend and beat the shit out of him, which is... much worse.

Also, Yuri stated already "long time ago" that they're preparing their Korean comeback with a new album, probably for May.
And is said too that Taeyeon is supposed to be debuting as a soloist this month

You mean Yuri said that herself about the Taeyeon solo?
Because that rumour has been going on for quite some time.

The teaser doesn't really tell us anything but I'm expecting awesome things judging by the teaser photos at least :D
Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
I'm a little confused as to why it seems to be so hard for SM to buy a good song.
At least it's good to see all of them putting effort into the choreography. The dance line got decent exposure and I like Yoona's hairstyle.

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
I don't really like the parts sung by the 4 singers but the rest is ok, specially the chorus though it's the same line over and over.
And I love the line distribution and that the dancers stand out the most.
By the way ap, 1st is Korean 2nd is Japanese

I'm just going to pretend that was a very intelligent commentary on the state of K-Pop releases in Japan. *cough*
I don't like the song, but the dancing looks cool.
Music's like some USA-pop Will I am trash.

I don't like the song all that much. To me it actually sound like a remix of a song even though it doesn't exist lol
The MV wasn't anything amazing but the dancing looked pretty damn great :)

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
My expectations are normally pretty low for their Japanese songs anyway, so maybe that's why I wasn't disappointed. XD They always sound more like American pop than J-pop songs to me, so... I'm not surprised I guess.

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
The J-pop version has been blocked in my country apparently, but the Korean one is pretty cool. Yuri has a lot of ass jiggle going on in the middle of the video; I kinda feel like her shorts are shorter than everyone else's? Yuri's super hot though so I'm not going to complain, but it was a bit distracting.
Anyway, everything is solid about this single except the song. It's just so uninteresting and anticlimactic that I can't believe they're doing this to SNSD. Seriously, their Japanese releases have always been sub-par, but they've at least been better than this in the past. Whatever, at least Hyoyeon gets more screentime than just the dance break this time around.
