What’s your purpose as a YouTube dancer?

Note: This article relates to YouTubers who do dance covers to Asian Pop.

After reading Nia’s Wonderland post about YouTube idols, I felt that I should write a similar article regarding the topic. But then the article developed observation of people who do dance covers and the – let’s say – typical issues with it.

We all fit into the fandom in our own ways because of our participation in the fandom. I find that blogging and doing dance covers is something that I have become accustomed to, dancing especially. However because of my growing responsibilities with family and university, I’ve had less time to learn and have fun doing dances. In my absence, I started viewing other YouTube dancers, subscribed to a few and left some advice. But I’m always so conflicted whenever I watch a dance cover whether they should be fun or whether people actually care about improving their skills.

UK K-pop fans – how the others “see” us

Remember back when MBC festival was held in June? Do you remember the day before the concert when fans followed EXO-K around Oxford Street and got bashed for it? After that festival, they got labeled as crazy fans who don’t know how to keep their distance.

You must be joking.

K-Pop companies and their “World Tours”

A word of advice, never believe a world tour is a “world tour”.

There are a lot of international fans who have not understood that when K-Pop companies say World Tour, why do you all believe it’s going to be every city in the world with at least two or three countries in each continent? Please, wake up! Let me take this upcoming Big Bang Alive Tour in London as an example.

I want to explain to some of you guys how to prepare for these poorly planned K-Pop concerts instead of complaining to each other.

Best & Worst of 2011: End of Year Review

Are you all enjoying your last days of 2011? We have reached of another year 2011 has been in my opinion, a better year than 2010. However, there weren’t a lot of things to talk about 2011 that were good or bad, only a few.

Korean Celebrities in the UK [2011]

cr: ohgelie

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?

Last four months of 2010 in K-Pop, what are we expecting?

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.

BEAST is Shocking! BoA and Se7en – YES!

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…

Best & Worst of 2009: End of Year Review

WARNING: Even though these topics have bullet points on them, if you are lazy and do not want to read much, I suggest you skip to the Overall part and also answer the questions at the bottom. Thank you! ^_^

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.

Who do you want to comeback/debut next year?

Don’t know if you guys know my post on allkpop, but this year we have seen a lot of girl groups debut and also comeback. Most of my predictions for the last four months in 2009 were correct but the ones that weren’t were pushed back.

Anyways, who would you like to comeback next year? Or would you like debuts of more boy/girl groups and solo artists?
