Response to AKP [OP-ED]: AIRPORTS ARE NOT CONCERT VENUES

I’m not one to read Allkpop news anymore but recently contagion, a AKP writer posted this editioral article relating to airport experiences which I came across through omona. The article summaries how fans get too crazy and should behave in a proper manner when they go to the airport.

The J-Pop Industry Today…

I realised recently that I don’t have much to say about the Japanese music industry these days. It’s just come to my attention by how I write my blog entries of J-Pop in comparison to K-Pop over the years. I’m getting there now but still… I’ve never really got involved in any forums or found any updating new sites until last year. And the entertainment industry is now more cutesy, girl group dominated and money hungry.

A Look at Fanfiction: Video Games, K-Pop and More…

There are a variety of ways to create a fanfic, however one of the most interesting ways that has recently become popular is for a single fan can take on the identity of a character/figure and act as if he or she is that figure in real life. - nolannabi, kpopkollective writer

If you’re a part of a fandom whether it’s a game, book series or artist, Fanfiction is definitely a part of it. After taking a look at articles written about fanfiction, I decided to write my own. Just for a moment, I would like to concentrate on a few categories of fanfiction that I don’t see focused enough in fanfiction articles: Anime, K-Pop and Video Games. Continue reading

HoMin (TVXQ) is back!

Now THIS is how you start 2011. And to reassure people that the year will definitely be amazing – well from the start of it.

I actually don’t want to see any 2010 groups this year. I know miss A is going to China but I don’t know about the other hopefuls. All I want to see is 2009 groups and before that. Like Joo, MBLAQ, Brown Eyed Girls, Jay Park (FUCK YEAH!) Big Bang (Seung Ri Solo too!), 4minute, JYJ and OHMYGOD HOMIN!!.

Dating on Earth – I found it!

Remember that movie that DBSK was in with Yoochun being married to his teacher in 2006 and I think Jaejoong liking her? Well, found it! Something I had wanted to see last year when I really loved DBSK, I was searching hard for this drama which focused on my favourite DBSK member, Yoochun.

Though I’d share with you all who haven’t seen it yet.

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…

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?
