2010 Kpop: What’s to come…

Sorry for not upating…didn’t think that labs would start so early this semester…T____T

Anyways…this post is a VERY late post…was planning on posting it way back when 2010 actually started…lol.

But…i hit the wrong button and i deleted almost everything on my usb…including my draft for this post T____T

So…here’s the point of this thread…

What I’m looking forward to:

1. Tasha – T’s new album is dropping very soon. And…JK is working on this album for her. For those who don’t know, Tasha is the Queen of Soul in Korea. She is quite well known among fans but I guess for the mainstream kpop followers…she’s not that well know. But, she is VERY well known in Korea.

2. One Day – 2PM is coming out with a new album. This time, I’m really hoping Jaebum will be back!! Why you ask?! It’s because they just released their 1:59PM album not too long ago and I found it strange that they’re already releasing another one. When?! APRIL!! The month of my birthday and Jaebum’s birthday! His birthday is 4 days after mine <3 2AM is also coming out with some new stuff too!! I want a One Day collab!

3. YG Year – 2010 is YG’s year. With comebacks and solo debuts of their artists…I’m sure YG will dominate! SE7EN is FINALLY making a comeback after about 3 years. It sucks that his US debut failed miserably…but I still think he has the most potential to make it big out of all the Korean artists crossing over. Blame YG for signing with a crappy company. But, rumor has it he’s in the talks with a BIG label. *hoping for Interscope* Big Bang’s Daesung, Taeyang and TOP will be dropping some new stuff as well!! 2NE1 is supposed to release something too. BUT, beware, take YG with a grain of salt!

4. SuJu Comeback Even with all the SM chaos, SuJu said they’re coming back with a new album. I’d take that with a grain of salt too. Without the 13, it’s not a very good album. I went back to listen to their 1st album, without Kyuhyun in it, and I realized it’s my favorite, after the Sorry, Sorry album. Don’t Don was kinda crappy…only liked a few songs on it.

5. Hyori Comeback – Hyori is making a comeback!! Yay!! Who here thinks that Hyori still looks gorgeous and sexy though she’s hitting that 30 mark?!

6. Gina Choi – anyone heard of her? She was a JYP trainee since WAY back but now she’s with sister company, Cube, and is supposed to debut this summer!

What I’m hoping for:

1. Jaebum’s return! I have never given up and I never will. My intuition tells me that he is coming back. It always had..it’s a weird feeling I tell ya!

2. CSJH The Grace – After being kicked all the way to Japan just so SNSD could debut, it’s about time these girls make a comeback. They are one of the only girl group that can actually sing, dance and pull off the sexiness all in one performance. They need to get out of SM ASAP.

3. SM downfall – After being a kpop fan for about 6 years, I’ve seen and read a lot on the behind the scenes of kpop, especially related to SM artists. It’s not as simple as we see it. It’s shady business! From “financial” problems, to abuse, to lawsuits, I’ve seen and heard it all. The truth behind SM is very simple. Just think of the reasons why H.O.T. and Shinhwa (2 legend groups of kpop!) left SM. There’s a reason why FTTS left the company too. H.O.T problem = TVXQ’s problem. Same friggen’ thing! History repeats just like how fashion repeats! Zhang Li Yin gets ditched in China, when she barely made a fanbase in Korea!

What I’m not looking forward to:

1. Girlgroup Domination - Will girl groups still be able to dominate the charts this year? We’ll see about that ^^ Groups such as KARA, SNSD and f(x) are all preparing for a new album. Honestly, a bunch of girls dressing not their age is disgusting to me. They make themselves look so fake…oh wait, they are! I just want to see some REAL singers that can sing, dance and act their age. I don’t need 20 year olds dancing in mini skirts with lollipops or a bunch of girls dressing up like they’re cats of animals. It’s not Halloween!! But yes, it’s hilarious when I see boy bands do it…but I do wonder if they ever hurt their man pride doing it…

2. Debut’s of “idol groups” - I’m sick of hearing all these boy and girl groups debuting…there’s just too many of them debuting and I can’t keep up…but it’s not like I want to anyways. 2009 was full of them and it’d be great if it stayed only in that year. What happens in 2009 stays in 2009. I don’t have the time. AND, they keep getting younger and younger and younger! Back when I first listened to kpop, I swear there were no artists that was under the age of 15/16. Now a days, everyone keeps getting younger with less talent. AND they’re not even in there for their pretty looks anymore because every is fake plastic! Everyone just wants to be part of kpop history. Sometimes, I think that kpop is ruining society and I know for a fact, it always had and will continue to in Korea. For example, what school in your town will let school out early just for a concert?!


SM Entertainment. Has your views changed??

I’m sure most of you know what has happened lately with TVXQ. I know I’m posting this late is because I got so caught up with stuff this summer and that I only have today to post this up. I just wanted to share some things with everyone (and WARNING…it’s gonna be LONG!) and I also want to hear everyone’s view on this lawsuit going on. I also want to know if your views have changed or not on SM. This is for new and old fans, and for anybody who’s just interested.

I’m actually quite sad on how everything turned out to be….but at the same time, I’m glad I became a fan because I got to know what had actually happened in SM throughout the years and is now aware on how this war should be fought. This is not the first time it happened and I don’t understand one bit why it is happening again. It makes me soooo mad sometimes. Is it because TVXQ and Suju got the bitter end of everything that happened in the past?? I don’t know. It seems as though SM has gotten better just before SNSD and SHINee debuted and is it because they were lucky enough to use the money that others have suffered to make to get to where they are today?? I really don’t understand…

I’m happy some former SM artists have came out to speak about the lawsuit and I hope more come out to speak.

Here is a playlist of H.O.T.’s last concert in 2001. It was probably one of the saddest concerts ever, considering they were the nation’s most popular group at the time. The lyrics to their song pretty much foreshadowed an end to their era and it was such a pity that the group had to disband the way they did with so much tension.

What are your views on the lawsuit?

Has your views on SM changed??

More under the cut…(WARNING: I tend to go off topic and make things have no sense whatsoever…)
