Article: 2017 starts off to another girl group rush

1. [+208, -5] For how much name value AOA has, their digital rank has been lost in Andromeda..... not even comparable to Cosmic Girls or April anymore because I don't even see them on the Melon charts. What happened? Did AOA's fandom just die out?

2. [+130, -10] A battle of the minor groups, basically...

3. [+191, -31] Twice (nation's girl group, energetic, cute) Girlfriend (innocent) IOI (nation's producer) Red Velvet (quirky?) Black Pink (hip hop) Mamamoo (talent)... all of the current girl groups have different charms and styles with set fandoms so there really isn't any more room for other groups or fandoms

4. [+106, -10] Every new debut recently has been flop after flop...

5. [+120, -27] AOA, Cosmic Girls, and April all flopped ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+52, -5] Out of all those groups, AOA had the most media play and their one song already fell off the charts~

7. [+51, -7] At the top are Twice, Girlfriend, IOI, Black Pink, Mamamoo, and Red Velvet. There's no more room left at the top for any more girl groups and it's basically going to be a fight between the bottom feeders.

8. [+29, -0] A Pink's 'Cause You're My Star' and AOA's 'Excuse Me' both flopped...

9. [+16, -1] So many debuts and comebacks in January... to make matters worse, all of the debuts and comebacks so far have been flops. The bigger issue is that even if any of these groups do manage to make it, it'll never be on the level of Twice, Girlfriend, Mamamoo, Red Velvet, or Black Pink ㅋㅋ

10. [+13, -0] 32 girl groups debuted in 2014, 37 teams in 2015, 29 teams in 2016... 98 teams in the past 3 years... how many are going to debut and flop in 2017 now?

11. [+23, -4] Korea is just an empire of idols now

12. [+12, -2] Out of the recent comebacks, April has the most potential. Their song is pretty good, the rest are flops.

[Instiz] Jung Chaeyeon's season's greeting photos by photographer Rotta

Instiz: MBK Jung Chaeyeon's controversial season's greetings "Greedy Kwang Soo not only released DIA's season's greetings but Chaeyeon's separately and the photographer is Rotta....;" - "Aigoo" "I don't understand why they chose Rotta and I don't understand why Chaeyeon was the only one who got a separate set of season's greetings pictures..." "The fact that her agency chose Rotta and the fact that he chose this type of concept for her... hopeless. Rotta is a criminal. I wonder when people are ever going to realize that." "I don't know why people consider Rotta's photography pretty. All of his pictures are just copied and pasted from one another, and the fact that he has lolita elements in his works really makes me feel unsettled with the way his stuff is still being lauded everywhere." "I can never understand what Kwang Soo's thinking" "He really likes Rotta doesn't he......

Why Australian adverts need to learn from Korea

What I've learned whilst enjoying the k pop scene, is that Korean adverts do it better than Australia. Might be different for you, but down under, our ads are terrible. Take Sprite for example: Suzy for Sprite Ads for Sprite in Korea happen to include well-known idols and fan service. Do you get the point? Boobs. Fan service. Great, perfect, love it, I want more. Now. For comparison, let me show you how these ads are for Australia. No fan service. No well-known celebrities. No fan service. It's a wasted opportunity. If our ads actually had something worth watching in them, I would watch more TV, but they don't and so I won't. Are ads better in other places of the world? Or am I just not watching TV at the right times? It's also not just Sprite that takes use of fan service for their own goals. Kellogg's  has recently released photos of their new model. And it's a damn shame we don't utilize this in Australia.
