The MMAs: They're Not That Serious

Not even I could escape the shit storm that's been the 2016 MMAs. And I hold the same views about awards shows as AKF and Kpopalypse.


Look getting awards is great for public recognition. But that's it. Public recognition. Winning an award has never been a deal breaker in rather or not I like a group, and it's also not a deal breaker with the public as well.

For those of you out of the loop, EXO-Ls are upset that BTS won the Best Album of The Year award over EXO. Something about album sales and other shit that doesn't matter in terms of the musical quality of an album. But it's gotten beyond upset, they're now calling up Melon and Loen demanding they release data they really can't from customer service operators. Korean EXO-Ls are marching and protesting in the streets. Not because their government just got turned on it's head but because an awards show might be rigged (huge fucking gasp there! An awards show? Being rigged? I thought they were always fair and concise!) And even starting petitions by both Korean and American EXO-Ls. As if a small minority of international fans from one country is going to do any fucking thing.

And all of this because, EXO, although they won 6 other fucking Daesangs lost unfairly to BTS. Even though this wont do anything to taint EXOs career and BTS most likely won't get any boost from this outside of obnoxious ARMYs using this as a way to rub in that BTS are much better than their faves because they won an award? Oh the horror!

Don't even get me started on the BlackPink vs I.O.I nonsense. Everyone knew YG wouldn't let BlackPink out of 2016 award-less no matter how popular IOI were.

To anyone doing this: Just please stop and calm down. Really think about what you're doing. You're asking South Korea, a country with one of the biggest political scandals going on right now, to stop and pay attention to some sobs about an idol music awards ceremony that is so obviously rigged it's honestly pathetic you're just now realizing it. And to all of the American stans doing this: all the shit going on right now and this is what you're going to fucking prioritize? The MMAs hardly affect the average Korean citizen, and it sure as hell isn't affecting you.

And let's just face it, had this award ceremony been rigged in favor of your faves, you wouldn't be crying about being robbed then would you? No you wouldn't. You'd be telling all of the upset fandoms that it's rigged and there's nothing to do about it.

And as someone who likes both BTS and EXO, they both had a great year, and who winded up taking which award will not take that away from them. Both groups have accomplished so much, that I hardly think they're placing the entire value of their careers in the hands of a Daesang. Yes it's nice and will give them public recognition, but I hardly doubt they will call it quits if it doesn't go their ways.

Male idol who has been consistently asked whether if he's Japanese

 Stray Kids' Lee Know People have been consistently mistake him for being Japanese since his debut (Honestly, when I first saw him I was like, 'Is he Japanese...?') So, I'm writing this post to clear out those misunderstandings He's from Daegot-myeon, Gimpo His real name is Lee Minho He has been popular for looking similar to Kento Yamazaki ever since he first debuted This is a morph-picture that an International fan made, they really do look similar.. No, scratch it, they look literally the same in those pictures He has the vibe of actors you usually see in Japanese drama These are the gifs of him with short-dark hair that made his fans call him Lee Know Yamazaki And you may mistake him as Japanese because of his stage name, Lee Know But it's derived from his real name. The name Lee Know has nothing to do with Japan^^ And take a look at his environment His house in his hometown is very Korean He raises three Korean Shorthair cats How should I put this post to a...

Rain recounts a story of when Park Jin Young went above and beyond for him

Article : Rain expresses gratitude towards Park Jin Young for dropping everything to be there for his mother "It's thanks to hyung that my mother got to live a few more weeks" Source : Insight via Instagram "When I was around 17-18 years old, my mother fell sick and I couldn't take her to the hospital because I didn't have any money. I asked several places for help but no one could offer it. I then asked Jin Young hyung, 'Hyung, please save us. I don't have any money to hospitalize my mother.' Jin Young hyung then canceled all of his schedules and came to my home. He put my mother on his back, got her a car, and took us to the hospital. He co-signed for us and got us in. It was thanks to him that I got to be with my mother for another two weeks." 1. [+528] Even when he's as rich enough to have 45 billion won now... I'm sure the 2-3 weeks he got to spend with his mother were more meaningful than anything else. And no wonder he feels so...

Which female idol would make the best porn star?

It's no mystery that female K-pop idols are pretty fucking hot. But would being hot be enough for them to make it big in the porn industry (which probably won't happen anytime soon)? Well, obviously not, because if it were, I could just put in the names of all the members of every single girl group out there (with a few exceptions) and call it a day. But being a porn star takes much more than just looks and body, and you shall see how through this article. So here are the nominees, handpicked personally by me, in no particular order. (P.S. This is gonna be photo and gif heavy). (P.P.S., If you managed to get through this whole article without fapping once, you get a cookie.)                                            4MINUTE - HyunA Oh look, Hyuna's here! Shocker! Well, Hyuna's known to be the 'seductress' or whatever, but I won't disagree. This woman would make a straight gir...
