PopReaper 2,231 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Sports Chosun releases it's yearly girl-group popularity ranking: As you can see in the chart, the first ranking is entitled 'The Uncrossable Wall of the 4th Dimension,' meaning a ranking that is hard to enter. It consists of Girls' Generation, 2NE1, and SISTAR with Girl's Day making their way into that tier. The article noted that while Girls' Generation and 2NE1 remain in this top star tier, this wasn't completely satisfactory, either, saying that the former's competitiveness was greatly falling while 2NE1 lost their chance. 'Sports Chosun' predicts a large change here next year, calling these two groups 'An Uneasy First Place.' In the second tier entitled 'National Constituency,' A Pink snugly sat in the spot alone, although it was noted that AOA was quickly rising into the tier--just not there quite yet. A Cube's deputy Kang Yoon Shik said regarding AOA, "Their musical development isn't bad and they're a group that succeeded after changing to a s-xy concept," while Dream Tea Entertainment's diretor Na Sang Chun said, "They're consistently maturing and garnering recognition, so they're a group whose future promotions I look forward to." In the third 'High Society' tier, groups SECRET, f(x), 4minute, and KARA snugly ranked there with the note that f(x) went down one while KARA went up one. In the fourth 'Mania Floor' are EXID (first entry), miss A (down one), and Nine Muses. The most interesting one is EXID, who suddenly rose to fame this year. Starship Entertainment's Director Seo Hyun Joo said, "They're a group that created the term 'forced comeback' after gaining hot interest from men through member Hani's fancam." The article also raised up the question of Suzy, who has been promoting alone for a long time due to her immense popularity. One rep, who asked for anonymity, stated, "Because [suzy's popularity] is lasting, the group in its entirety is steadily losing its strength," while another stated, "It's a group that has absolutely no meaning without Suzy." The next tier, 'Popularity Maginot Line,' includes T-ara, Dal Shabet (down one), Crayon Pop (down one), and Hello Venus. The last tier, 'Candidate Group,' include BESTie and lots of impressive rookie groups like MAMAMOO, Red Velvet, G-Friend, and SONAMOO. SM Entertainment's Head of Department Kim Eun Ah said, "G-Friend are gaining attention from male fans recently for their refreshing image while SONAMOO was attention-grabbing with their powerful dance and strong image. MAMAMOO is, as expected, receiving a lot of attention as a talented rookie group." Director Jung Won Jung said, "Red Velvet has enough potential when it comes to expectations because they're SM's new girl group."

PoshLife 16,975 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 So tomorrow I'm giving a presentation on the history of modern Japanese music. My Japanese friend is doing 1960-2000, and I'm doing 2000 to present. We're playing one song from each decade. I'm going to play an Utada song for the 2000's and an AKB48 song from the 2010's (I'm not a fan, I just think they're pretty definitive of the decade so far; it'd be kinda silly to play Juice=Juice or Namie haha).

PopReaper 2,231 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 EXO-Ls freak out at the possibility of Chanyeol reading their yaoi fanfic EXO's Chanyeol may have a surprising read coming his way. Korean and international EXO-Ls (EXO fans) alike are freaking out at the possibility that Chanyeol may be reading their R-rated yaoi (boy-on-boy) fanfiction due to a mailing error. An EXO-L made her fellow fans panic recently when she informed them that an anthology of Chanyeol-related yaoi fanfictions was being sent to the SM Entertainment building for Chanyeol. The EXO-L wrote: "The Chanyeol anthology from the [EXO-L] event. Our representative was doing the mail order and because he/she was reluctant to reveal his/her name or address, he/she wrote 'Park Chan Yeol/SM's address' as the sender. Among the anthologies, one is being sent back [due to mailing error] and is now on its way to SM. But because it was sent it under Chanyeol's name we could not retrieve the the package." The original tweet that provoked the panic has since been deleted, but fans everywhere are in a frantic frenzy to warn Chanyeol not to read the anthology. Korean fans are flooding his SNS accounts with messages like, "Chanyeol-ah, there's a package being sent back to you as a delivery error; you definitely cannot look at it...," and, "Park Chanyeol, don't look at anything. I'm sorry. Please." International fans are also joining in on the effort, telling Chanyeol variations of, "DON'T READ THE BOOK FOR YOUR OWN GOOD."
