I’ve had it with the majority of the K-Pop fandom. I don’t know how I’ve managed to be a fan for so long.

Recently, I became interested in the “popular…” section on AFF which intrigued me to have a look more into it. If you are on the front page of most popular author for example, your fanfic/s should be featured and good writing style (but not all of them but most of the top 10 have more than one fic with a gold star).
From the top 10 authors, popular views and subscrition stories, the characters usually range from: Big Bang, DBSK, EXO, SHINee, SNSD and Super Junior as the most popular. The majority of fanfics of SM artists does not surprise me being the company with the most groups and fandoms that ship people so much.
Previously last year, I went to SM Town Paris and thought I would never go back for another concert. Seeing that 2PM and UKISS were going to perform at Music Bank urged me to go. Two groups I would never see in Europe.

UK K-Pop fans have experienced meeting more idols than I have ever expected to see this year. 2011 has seen the likes of many Korean celebrities from Rain to SHINee come from events, concerts or sightings in our country. No-one could have missed the chance to see any one of these artists, could they?
(In case anyone wants to know, I am an admin of Unitedkpop and posted the article there as well)

I’ve only been watching Dream Concert since 2009 but I’ve noticed every so often if an artist or their fandom seems really irritated in another fandom’s eyes, the silent treatment happens in Dream Concert. From my definition, the silent treatment refers to a partake in turning off glowsticks in the Dream Concert towards a group that has propely seen hell in Korea. For example, 2008 was SNSD‘s time. 2010 was for 2PM. And it looks like it’s BEAST turn.
But the reason why it’s BEAST’s turn doesn’t make sense to me at all. Because the only reason it is BEAST’s turn is because it’s the K-B2UTY’s that have caused this apparently.

Got to say in terms of 2010, it’s been a pretty tiresome year. J-Pop has made me realise some things that I never knew before – in a negative way. K-Pop has just upset me so much despite comebacks of my favourites and news that depressed me. It’s not all been so bad but…I had kind of hoped from all the artists that came back (e.g. Queens of J-Pop were present this year, BoA and Se7en who have been seen for years) that they would have a bigger success than usual.
Like the new layout for the rest of 2010? ^_^
Due to good response on last year’s post, I thought I’d do another. This time, it’s divided into Confirmed and Predictions.

Can’t believe this year will be the my 3rd year (since 2008) watching Gayo Daejun.
Whooooo! July is coming and when it hits 9th, I’ll turn 17 (18 in Korean Age). So I thought after re-reading my post for Last four months of 2009, my prediction was almost right (I got 10/14 artists right! ^_^) and I thought about during one for July for both J-Pop and K-Pop. (Done in alphabetical order).

Looks like 2010 may be an upcoming good year because of the comebacks from:
BoA
Lee Hyori
Rain
Se7en
I guess that among these four, BoA and Se7en matter most because they haven’t been seen for more than 2 years in Korea unlike Lee Hyori and Rain but I can’t wait for their comeback.
Right now, though is BEAST’s time and oh my gosh, it’s shocking…

Looks like we have reached the end of an eventful year in J-Pop and especially, K-Pop. I would like to say, despite my lack of knowledge of the J-Pop World for 3 years, I can say the world of J-Pop and K-Pop seemed more calmer at the start of the year compared to the drama that later unfolding in the following months. Let’s recap what happened in the year of 2009 of J-Pop and K-Pop, from my standards and choices, of course.
