2AM – Saint O’Clock

even though i’m phasing out of kpop, doesn’t mean i’ll stop listening to the people that i already love. i just wanted to stop listening to the new crap that comes out of those new idol groups. i’ve had enough of the bullcrap that the k-ent is pulling to keep doing business with companies. k-ent is such shady business..it always ways…but it’s worst than it was 10+ years ago!

2AM is one of the best groups out there. no doubt about it that they have the talent. and i have no doubt on their 1st FULL LENGTH album. it is a great album! the reason why i love them is cuz of their ballads. but their fast songs aren’t that bad! it’s an album that’s worth investing in

and these girls are under AQ Entertainment, a subsidary of JYP, but I have labeled them under JYPE for easier organization

So….the annual Korean Music Festival in LA is just around the corner again!!!

Sadly…all the info I have right now is:

Once again, it’s in May on a Saturday. Specifically, May 1st @ 6:30 PM at the usual location, Hollywood Bowl in California. Please google map it if you need to ^^

One thing I don’t like about it is they try to rip money off ticket buyers because…

1) tickets are expensive…ranges from ~$15-$200 USD (if i remember). It all depends on where you sit in the crowd.

2) they announce the attending artists every week (or is it every 2 weeks?! don’t remember >.<) starting from maybe February. As a result…it’s hard to refund tickets when you don’t like the attending artists.

But…the concert is quite worth it because it can be such a party, even when you’re with random people you don’t know.

A few things I DO like about the concert is…

1) you can stalk your favorite idols while they’re in town =) or even stay at the same hotel!

2) it is a dream come true…it feels like a dream being there! because that’s the closest you’ll ever get to them.

3) they ALWAYS have some of Korea’s most popular artists!!

4) it’s fun for all ages. It’s a family event since they’ve got some old school trot singers (like Eru’s dad, Tae Jin Ah!)

SO…KEEP CHECKING BACK FOR MORE UPDATES =)

while you wait for more announcements..why not predict who might show up!!

The way up, stairs; the way down, a cliff. Luck.

^ title is a quote from Tablo of Epik High.

JYPE had a conference today regarding Jay and it has come to a final conclusion: THERE IS NO CHANCE OF JAY RETURNING.

I’ve been trying to write more about this post..but I would get to a certain point and delete everything because right now, I’m confused and don’t know what to believe and tell you guys. The only thing I can tell you is that the whole thing has turned into a war and everything is just in depression mode.

From the conference, the members have spoke out their feelings and it was not for his return and in fact, it was as if they don’t ever what to see him again because they hate him that much. I don’t know what to believe and what not to believe. Was their friendship and brotherhood never that strong that they could not forgive him for his mistakes?! Must they pull him straight down into the ground over one night?! Everything they said, they said they were doing this to protect Jay and his “personal mistake” from being revealed. But is that really protect Jay? To make him look like the bad guy? It totally seems like something straight from a drama.If what the other members what said at the conference are truly from the bottom of their hearts, I have lost respect for them and they disgust me to my stomach. But if the conference was truly scripted, I will forgive these boys. I am most impressed by Khun but disappointed by Taec and Chansung. It seems like they all hate Jay….the whole thing smells fishy. But they f***ing used Jay’s name on the 1:59 album to promote it! They don’t f***ing deserve a penny of the profits for it…disgusting human beings…

But isn’t life also about learning to love and forgive? It hurts to know how cruel some human beings can be. I don’t care how bad of a mistake Jay has made, I can forgive him because I will not hold a grudge for life.

It has been almost 7 years since I’ve gotten into kpop and this has got to be one of the most heart-breaking things to hear and witness. But why am I not feeling used to this? From TVXQ to SuJu to 2PM, to slave contracts to abuse rumors to disbandment rumors to leaving/addition of members and more more…

THE ONLY MISTAKE JAY HAS DONE IN HIS LIFE IS SIGNING WITH JYP.

Right now, I really want to give Jay a hug and tell him that there are many fans out there supporting him.

I will continue to support the remaining 6 members because I learn to forgive! But, there will be some constraint on me supporting them.

It has always been Jay protecting the members but when Jay is in need, they can’t f***ing protect him. Sick.
