LOOΠΔ Hyunjin looks like Tzuyu, Naeun, and Seolhyun?

Pann : You can see Tzuyu, Naeun, and Seolhyun in one face 1. [+53, -3] Not in other pictures but she really looks like Naeun in this one 2. [+51, -6] She does look like Seolhyun and Naeun. Not sure about Tzuyu. But I don't find her prettier than them. She's pretty but she doesn't surpass them. She's pretty and she looks like them, but that's pretty much it. She doesn't have uniqueness. People would prefer Seolhyun, Naeun, and Tzuyu, we don't have a reason to prefer this girl. Maybe she'll show her charms on broadcast but this is what I feel from the pictures. 3. [+28, -3] Those who are lookalikes of various people don't have charms. Naeun, Seolhyun, and Tzuyu don't look like anyone and they have their own auras and images. Lookalikes like her don't look charming... Rather than media-playing as a lookalike, why don't you write about her own aura instead? 4. [+11, -0] Wow, what an obvious promotion 5. [+6, -7] There's no Seolhyun at all...

Hyoyeon - Mystery Teaser

I need to go back to my Twice-centric Kpop universe because this is the last thing I ever wanted to happen in Kpop.

The class of Jun Ji Hyun's husband

- Same age as Jun Ji Hyun - 185cm - Graduated Korea University - Works at USA's biggest bank 'Bank of America' - He's the only grandchild of a global hanbok designer Lee Young Hee. His father is a CEO of asset management company. His mother is a fashion designer. = Pann : The class of Jun Ji Hyun's husband 1. [+415, -6] It's so romantic how they went to the same elementary school ㅋㅋ 2. [+326, -14] At Chungdam, Apgujung, you will spot a man and think, "How can a man be that handsome? Who's that woman beside him?" They're him and Jun Ji Hyun. Jun Ji Hyun's looks don't lack at all but her husband is more noticeable. They say he looks the handsomest in real life. 3. [+198, -1] He also has a handsome face 4. [+175, -3] I just hope they have a lot of kids... They should have as many kids as they can and spread their superior genes in Korea. 5. [+139, -2] I work at the airport and saw them. I noticed the husband first, not Jun Ji Hyun... I...

2NE1 Disbands

To be honest, I already mourned for 2NE1 back in 2014, so I'm relatively numb to this. While 2NE1 haven't been on their A-game in years, they still put out some of the best music in K-pop between 2009-2012, which will always be looked upon fondly. Well at least we have CL surely making her 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th American debut *shutters*, Dara doing advertisements, Minzy doing a solo sometimes in the future and Bom(?) who got the shortest end of the stick in this situation.

YG is in a state of emergency?

Pann : Isn't YG in a state of emergency? Winner is now 4 members, 2NE1 disbanded, and Bigbang is enlisting. The only hope is promoting Winner and iKON hard in Korea and getting a variety show for Black Pink. - 1. [+128, -0] But iKON is already promoted hard, it's just that they're not in Korea. As soon as their Asia tour was done, they did a Japanese tour, appeared on China's I'm a Singer, and won a rookie award in Japan. They're just not in Korea... I can't believe I'm waiting for their domestic return when they're a 1-year rookie group. Hyun Suk-ah, they're fucking Korean artists. Do you think money is everything? 2. [+122, -11] I want YG to flop but Lee Hi, Black Pink, and AkMu are too good. He shouldn't appear on K-Pop Star if he has some shame. 3. [+108, -1] It's not an emergency, they just have to promote their current artists properly. They choose not to. Conclusion is, Hyun Suk is disgusting. 4. [+52, -0] They did 2 concerts a day...

What do you think of when you hear "paradise"?

Pann : What do you think of when you hear "paradise"? Coldplay - Paradise Infinite - Paradise Hyorin - Paradise Gain - Paradise Lost Boys Over Flowers OST - Paradise - 1. [+204, -13] Infinite 2. [+171, -13] I need you here for this to be a paradise! 3. [+166, -12] I need you here~ For this to be paradise~ I used to love this song 4. [+163, -4] Paradise~ Shinier than the sun~ 5. [+56, -2] Am I the only one who thought of "Almost paradise, warmer than the sun"? 6. [+56, -4] Infinite's Paradise. It's been stuck in my head since before, it's so catchy. 7. [+51, -6] Infinite's Paradise because it's my favorite song of Infinite 8. [+40, -2] Almost paradise~ Shinier than the morning~ My love for you~ It feels like I have the whole world in my life~

2NE1's disbandment & Taehyun's withdrawal from Winner

Pann : YG, "2NE1 will disband officially and Taehyun will withdraw from the group" [official statement] 1. [+98, -2] Everybody knows that the reason why Winner and iKON are not getting big in Korea is because of Yang Hyun Suk. Their debuts had legendary results but YG's shitty plans ruined the groups. Only if YG took care of them ㅠㅠ 2. [+78, -1] I knew they wouldn't renew Park Bom's contract but Taehyun's case is so shocking and unnecessary... Isn't Winner still a rookie group? I've never seen them promoting properly, what withdrawal? 3. [+73, -15] What do people mean by "at this time"? I'm very flustered as a YG fan but don't just bash them without knowing the facts. 4. [+42, -1] The CEO ruined Taehyun's life 5. [+38, -0] Taehyun is so shocking... Withdrawal... hul... 6. [+33, -0] I honestly expected 2NE1 but Winner's plans were shitty from the start and this is how they end up... What the hell is YG doing ㅋㅋ I've seen Ta...

Heart-fluttering moments of Infinite L

Pann : Heart-fluttering moments of Infinite L 1. [+118, -1] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ When Myungsoo is volunteering 2. [+96, -0] He looks chic but he seems to be a warm person 3. [+94, -0] Myungsoo protects a kid from flying candies ㅠㅠ 4. [+38, -0] Adoring hyung ㅎㅎ 5. [+33, -1] Wow, he's handsome and even his behavior is handsome... 6. [+32, -0] Sunggyu is cute and Myungsoo is heart-fluttering 7. [+31, -0] Also when he's adoring hyungs and patting them ㅠㅠ 8. [+26, -0] Every move by Myungsoo is heart-fluttering ㅠㅠ

Snuper - "Platonic Love", "You=Heaven", and "It's Raining"

This isn't a review. It's more like a recommendation. Snuper's pretty awesome. For the past year I've said that Up10tion are the most promising male nugus. And I still stand by that statement however Snuper would be a very close second. For one, they're consistent. Their theme is 1980s and they've done well to keep that running. "Platonic Love" is probably the same sound someone thinks when they think 80s. It's very awesome, very high bar and has a very hard dance vibe. It has all of those fairy dust-sounding keys of the 1980s and a cool sounding chorus. And yes it does sound like that one  a-ha song  that K-pop loves to take inspiration from, making it that much more awesome. "You=Heaven" keeps that same upbeat 80s sound, my only problem with it is that it takes for fucking ever to get somewhere. However when it starts to pick up and truly take off, it's still a pretty good, dare say, great song.  Again, "It's Raining"...

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 fa...

Rose is hot

Rose from Black Pink is hot. No reviews from me tonight. Just got home from a date with the cutie pie.

Radwimps - Hikari

Hey everyone! Watch a tease of a MV from my favorite Japanese rock band. Yeah, meant to review T-ara's Tiamo MV but then got sucked up into Pokemon Sun and then I'm seeing the girlfriend tomorrow...so maybe that review will go up on Monday.

Trumpopalypse Now - what does a Trump victory mean for k-pop?

So Donald Trump won the US elections, and predictably everyone is freaking out.  However, as usual nobody's asking the really big question, the kind of question that in this day and age you can only see answered properly by Kpopalypse - what does a Trump victory really mean for k-pop?  Read on to find out! I wasn't 100% sure that Trump would win, but I knew right from the start that a Hillary vs Trump battle would be close as fuck and that it could easily go either way, and however you Americans voted, I can't blame you as it wasn't an easy choice.  On one side you've got the moronic circus clown who really doesn't know what the fuck he's doing, and on the other side you've got the crazy warmongering hawk who knows what she's doing just a little too well for comfort.  For anyone who wants a pretty good breakdown of why Trump's victory happened, I recommend the explanations offered by Blaire White and Jonathan Pie who both have fair...
