The MMAs: They're Not That Serious

Image result for 2016 melon music awards

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.

Seventeen Vernon's visual

When Vernon was in elementary school: Present: Pann : Is this when Seventeen Vernon was in elementary school? 1. [+65, -16] He really looks like Dicaprio, fuck. He's the handsomest idol I've seen so far. A Western visual does wonders... 2. [+44, -2] He's mixed but he's more comfortable with Korean because he's been living in Korea since he was young 3. [+33, -2] <3 4. [+24, -1] I've lived in the US and his visual is also considered very handsome among Americans. I'm about to become his fan ㅋㅋ 5. [+24, -1] He's honestly a top idol visual. He raps and his voice is really good, too. 6. [+21, -1] The more I see him, the more he looks like a foreign actor 7. [+20, -0] He's still in grade 11. He'll get handsomer in the future. He looks like Leo. 8. [+18, -0] Be his fan 9. [+17, -0] His visual is too good to be an idol... So handsome 10. [+17, -0] He reminds me of Leo's legendary days. He's so handsome.

Pump up the pearly volume - big boobs in k-pop guide part 4

The post that k-pop's tits perverts have waited patiently for all year is finally here, it's the return of the Kpopalypse big boobs guide! Who can possibly keep up with the amount of big boobs in k-pop?  Kpopalypse, that's who!  Read on as Kpopalypse brings you the joys of objectification and superficial fetishism once again! Actually to be completely honest, I have trouble keeping up with new groups much the same as anybody, especially as I don't tend to pay much attention to the individuals in very new groups, so that's where the help of trusty caonimas came in.  I asked readers in a recent survey to nominate entrants for this list, and received several hundred responses which I will now distill in the following post.  Thanks to all those of you who helped me out here - but note that most of you picked girls who had in fact already been covered in previous episodes of this series, so make sure you visit the following links to double-check the trufax ...

Girl's Day's short shorts

Pann : Girl's Day's short shorts today 1. [+68, -1] Her butt line is showing 2. [+50, -17] People are so mean. Other idols dress as short as them but Girl's Day is always the target. 3. [+49, -2] They're not even wearing underpants 4. [+36, -0] I'm a fan but the stylist should've had them wear underpants ㅠㅠ What is this... Please wear underpants on the stage ㅠㅠ 5. [+32, -4] Why are you guys criticizing Girl's Day when their stylist is dressing them? 6. [+30, -0] Is Girl's Day's stylist crazy? I can see their butts. This honestly looks dirty. Girl's Day's stylist needs to bow their head and reflect. 7. [+24, -0] There was even a picture of a member with her full butt showing. I won't post the picture because it's too embarrassing and sexual. They don't seem to be wearing underwear, either. Usually, female idols wear underpants when they wear short stuff... I don't understand why they're doing this when they're popular e...
