JYPE’s current status as a ‘Big 3′ company?

In life, there are things that are usually more popular than others. People, events and even trends. In the music industry, this happens quite often with idols and artists being more successful than others and their companies given the spotlight too. In K-Pop, I think it’s the opposite where most fans focus upon the label of where the idols came from. The Big 3 companies (SM, JYP and YG) are an example of this being the most popular music labels in Korea.

After reading this article, I’ve noticed JYPE in the last few years has been in the decline. It used to be my favourite label of idols but 2PM and Wonder Girls are the only groups I like. Even these groups are slowly becoming irrelevant and the fault is in JYP and the company. Home to creating stars such as Rain, Wonder Girls and g.o.d, it looks like JYP may lose its reputation as a Big 3 company to other competitors. Well, at least that’s the way I see it.

Resolutions and Hopes for 2013

Gorgeous girls! Sad there won’t be a comeback of theirs in 2013 ;__;

Did you guys have a nice New Years? My annual report has been completed thanks to WordPress. I think it’s pretty cute so I wanted to share it with you all! After taking a look at Nia’s Hope and Dreams for 2013, I thought I would do my own plus share with you all my New Year Resolutions since we are all in the new year now.

2PM & Jay Park Fanfiction Recommendations

Honestly, I didn’t know what kind of post to do for 12/12/12. But when I thought about it, Good idol fanfiction is scarce these days. The more I try and look for well-written fics, the more I come across the opposite. In the past, the only idol fanfics I would read would be DBSK for a few months. The only fanfic at the time I read on Winglin which is good (but honestly needs improving now after looking at it after 2 and a half years) is called Right Next to You. Nowadays (or for the past 3 years), it’s been 2PM and Jay Park fics.

The reporter side of Korean idol culture

This won’t take too long, trust me. I don’t have much to say since this is an old article but I just wanted to give my two cents. But after reading this, it seems like netizens should be the reporters.

4 years with 2PM

Because I’m so bias to my JYP favourites (2PM and Wonder Girls), I have to make posts about them! This is just a message for 2PM’s 4th anniversary.

T-ara’s Situation is similar to 2PM/Jay Park? Hm…

I haven’t been writing lately but I have been keeping up with the latest on T-ara and Nichkhun’s car accident. Nichkhun’s accident seems to have been brushed to the side since T-ara crisis has been more in the public’s eye. But it seems more and more people are comparing it to the 2009/10 drama that was 2PM and Jay Park’s scandal.

To be honest they are quite different but at the same time, a bit similar.

Know Your Name & 별 (Star) (Jay Park Dance Medley)

Hey guys! It’s been a while since I have made a post so I thought I’d show you my latest dance medley which recently came out on time for Jay Park’s birthday. Hope you enjoy it and comment!

I personally cannot wait to do more dance covers/blog posts/fanfiction after my exams finish. I used to have so much time and now it’s revolved around Uni and work.  And I will be promoting more as well.

 

 

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.

Nothing wrong being a Hottest and Jwalkerz

First of all, there are many who may not know the whole situation of what happened to Jay Park. You should start by reading this first.

When I began this, I was scared of what people might say about my opinion. But when you realise it, 2 years on and if someone talks about the two idols it’s obvious both fandoms will conflict. This isn’t about 2PM or Jay Park however, it’s more about people in the fandoms and importantly, people who are a Hottest and a Jwalkerz.

Jay Park: His Comeback

As you all know, I’m a Hottest Jaywalker and I just had to comment on Jay Park’s comeback. People may say it’s a debut but I think it’s a comeback for me. I am so happy to see him back on stage singing, really happy. I really love the whole album and his comeback was alright.
