Kpopcalypse

Okay Hunnybunnies

We're going back to what really matters! KPOP!!!!!

Today's topic? BAP. The current yummy scandal that has everybody screaming.

As all you fellow Kpop lovers will know, 2014 is also known as the Kpopcalypse. All our favorite groups are breaking up or facing turmoil, EXO 12 is now EXO 10, Park Bom of 2ne1 drug scandal and Sulli on Hiatus after it appears she was caught in a dating rumor, are just some of the biggest scandals at the moment.

But the current situation mirrors Exo's scandal a tad, as we netizens all know, Kpop Idols have it rough, they get hardly any sleep, a few hours a day if they're lucky, and are completely overworked, BAP for example released a statement where they revealed: "Starting from March 21 of this year until June, the members traveled to Sendai, Osaka, Tokyo, the Philippines, New York, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Dusseldorf, Melbourne, Sydney, Taiwan, Singapore, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Chiba, and Bangkok to complete a murderous schedule. Due to their busy schedule, the members suffered mental and bodily fatigue, which was what the 'agency trust problem' referred to." 
more on BAP's statement can be found here: BAP response 
Also it is rumored that the 3 years BAP were with their management company, TS ENT, they only earned $16,000 per member, despite the fact they had done 2 world tours, released many mini-albums and had been in variety shows throughout the 3 years. However TS ENT. released their own statement which can be found here: TS ENT statement, where they reveal that the company had to make even on what the invested before the big bucks could start rolling. 
"we entered 2014, we were past the break-even point on our finances and B.A.P were on the verge of turning a profit"

However this blog post will be on my opinion of the situation, you may agree or disagree but they are my opinions, so if you don't like them, tough tits. 
As soon as the news broke that BAP were leaving the company, the fans went on a frenzy looking for reasons why they would leave. It came out that the members were in poor health and were still being forced to work with no sleep. This one post that I came across really struck me.

I'll never understand why companies overwork their artists to the point where they can no longer work, its not good for the artist or the company! Where is the common sense in that. We saw this with Kris in EXO, where he ended up with a terrible heart condition and was forced to leave EXO for his own health.
How can we do this to other human beings? To reduce a person to a shadow of what they were before. Obviously if your artist faints on stage, they cant give the service to the fans as they are supposed to, they wont be able to cope with the intense dance routines, and if they lose their voice, how are they supposed to sing for a 3 hour concert? 

But what I also hate about the kpop industry is the training period, where some artists will train for maybe 7 years, where they have to provide for themselves, but they can't get a job that pays much as they have to train everyday from morning until night. But all this training can lead to nothing! They may never make it, they can be dumped at any moment.

Keep in mind that there is suspicion that these trainee tales are made up.
But I can't help but feel sorry for KPOP idols. its true that once they've made it, they earn a lot of money and get free shit. but lets be real, is it all worth it? To be reduced to a shell of the person you once were, to have shit health, to not be allowed to date and have a life outside your career? To be part of a slave contract?
I know I don't think its worth it, and that's coming from a hardcore kpop fan. 

Kpop scene

Hello Chicka's!

KPOP KPOP KPOP!

CAN WE PLEASE JUST TALK ABOUT HOW GDRAGON AND KIKO STILL HAVEN'T MADE THEIR RELATIONSHIP OFFICIAL?

I mean, we've all really know about their relationship for like 5 years now, with the numerous dating scandals they've been in, but now we have clear solid proof! And YG still haven't made it official! 

Dispatch is on the ball recently, the past 2 years they have been on FIRE! I love it! So scandalous! 

Basically let me tell you about the dating scandals, if you are a Kpop idol you get 0 love life, or you could be a cool kid and date in secret ;) But if you are a woman in the Kpop scene, if you are caught up in a dating scandal, you will be slaughtered, especially if you are dating a male Idol! 

Take Taeyeon and Baekhyun, who were caught kissing in her open top car (car dates are very popular for Kpop idols) Taeyeon was part of the biggest female Kpop group, GirlsGeneration, potentially one of the most loved idols, as soon as she was part of the dating scandal with fellow entertainment company member, EXO's Baekhyun, she was tormented, her Instagram was flooded with hate, she was reduced to tears in an airport, and was forced to appologise. Baekhyun interestingly enough was forgiven instantly and she was the witch who corrupted him.

See below for a picture of Taeyeon crying in the airport

But then take Minah from Girls Day, who was in a dating scandal with a football player, no one gave a single fuck! An in fact when she broke up with him, a few months down the line, netizens actually whined about how disappointed they were that they broke up. 

Basically if you are a male Kpop idol, you now belong to the females of Korea. Good luck. 

Chunji you're mine.

See yaaaaaa x

Lets talk about SEXXXX

Hey babies,

So I was thinking... I know I'm a kawaii blog, which is supposed to be all cute and fluffy but I'm reaching that age (18 going on 19) where sex is a big topic!
Most people my age have already had sex! Being a virgin at the age of 18 in this era means you will get a shit ton of weird looks, many a times have people said to me "you're a virgin? why?" My best friend even lying about his virginity when we first met! 

But bearing in mind my target audience, I will talk to you about sex in the Kpop scene! Lets take a look into the girl groups, they are divided into 2 categories, the cuties such as APINK: 

APINK are very sweet with their natural hair tones, soft subtle makeup and big doe eyes and small noses. Their image scream femininity and innocence. They will in no way, touch the sexy image, and this works for them, parents are happy for their children to watch their MV's, to go to their concerts etc.

Here check out some of Apinks MV's:

Apink- Nonono

Apink- Mr Chu

Next up we have the sexy girl groups! Which, after Hyuna's sexy appearance in Psy's "Gangnam Style", and Kpop started to flood into the mainstream, has started to become the norm in the KPOP industry! Which is suitable for me and the rest of  the '95ers as Kpop had grown up with us, but young children can now no longer watch certain 18+ mv's!
PSY- Gangnam Style
Hyunas's

One of the controversies this year was UKiss's " Quit Playing". The video had a huge backlash, with the fans practically crying as their beloved Oppas hooked up with other sexy women Infront of their very eyes. The video was then taken down, edited and then re-uploaded, the video still carries the same sexual tone but now you don't see the members getting as much action. 

One member, the adored Kevin, even had to appoligise to the fans for this video, a video that pales in comparison to nikki ninjas anaconda! But even with the new edited mv fans cried "oh how dare they do this to kevin Oppa, he's a baby!" "Oh UKiss, poor UKiss... They don't want this"...

OH PLEASE, they are horny 20 year olds, they are having sex. They loved the shooting! They had beautiful sexy woman dancing and grinding on them, they bloody loved it! And SEX SELLS. In fact if anyone can find me the original version of the MV please give me the link, I was in Spain when the MV came out so i was behind with the kpop news and missed it!

UKISS- QUIT PLAYING

hyuna, part of 4minute, but also a very sexy soloist.

2pm, often shirtless and sweaty, with hard glare and sexy bodies. 

Let's talk about who I think is the queen of SEX in Kpop, btw there is s huge debate about this, as there is Boa, GaIn and lee hyeri! But I think Hyuna is the Queen. She is so outrageous and offends everyone and I love it! She is sexy as fuccccck! And what's best about her? She has a completely different persona off stage, she's a real cutie once she's back to being herself! 

Here are a couple of sexy Kpop videos's:
2PM: ADTOY
Hyuna- RED
AOA- Mini Skirt
Girl's Day- Something
GaIn- Fxxk U

Here are some more sweet innocent ones

Crayon Pop- BarBarBar  this song pisses me off to a new extreme
T-ARA- Bunny Style

Which do you prefer?

Kawaii KPOP!

Hello my lovelies!

So I know I said I was going to do today's blog about teen depression (which I will but in a separate post) however this post is on KPOP! Wow! 

So basically, I may or may not be addicted to Kpop, if you are so behind the times, KPOP is korean pop. 

I was introduced to Kpop when I was about 14, so coming up to 5 years now, my first ever Kpop band was Beast/b2st... Please enjoy this photo of them:

I was so obsessed with Beast that I even went to the United cube concert in London for my birthday with 2 of my best friends! It was an epic night, like you at some stage, need to attend a Kpop concert, we don't fangirl like normal girls.

So basically let me tell you how to Kpop, but warning once you enter the Kpop scene, there's no getting out! And it's avert expensive hobby, literally you have to be willing to spend £15+ on 1 CD that usually only has 6 songs on it, that's £2.50 a song, however you could go on iTunes an download the album for probably £7 but you wouldn't get the beauties of photo albums... You want the photo albums. But not only are the CD's pricey, but all concert tickets are too! Usually £60 for a relatively unknown band, I paid £160 for 1 ticket to see BIGBANG and I paid for my best friend for her Christmas present too. But in retrospect it's kind of understandable since they are coming from the other side of the world. But that's the next problem... Your "Oppa's" (you'll soon understand the lingo, I'll write a summary up down below) live on the other side of the world, which means you'll probably never see them, all the Kpop programmes are in KOREAN, so you have to wait for someone to put sub titles up! Which can range from a day after (if the fan base is as big as one as EXO) or sometimes never! Also if you want merchandise, the price of your favourite groups Tshirt might say $25 but have you added the world wide postage fee? Cause damn! Does the price soar. It is an expensive hobby.

How to be a Kpop star------ Must watch!

But yeah, how to Kpop, first pick a group! Be that boy or girl, if you go boy, I suggest go for some of the more generally liked stuff, such as BIGBANG, super Junior, Exo, SHINee... And for girls, GIrls Generation, 2NE1, F(X), Miss A, Secret... 

Then watch 1, maybe 2 or 3 music videos, freak out, cause in every MV they all look completely different from how they looked in the previous MV. 

Now my favourite part, you can find their profiles online, I love this about Kpop, for someone as nosey as me, the fact all their details are up on one simple site, brilliant! Here's a quick link: SuMandu, the Kpop guru.

Now you need to pick a bias, your bias is basically like saying your favourite member of the group, typically for girls this then turns into "my husband". For me for example, in TEENTOP my bias is Chunji! It may be because they are stunningly gorgeous, or because they make you laugh, or you may just be a little bit of a sap and cry at their songs ;P

And that my dears, is where the obsession begins, first its just MV's, then its variety shows, until finally you're on kdrama's and there is nothing quite as dramatic as a kdrama, I mean you can forget about East Enders! 

So yeah *sighs dramatically* my love for TEENTOP is unreal, you know I went VIP to their concert, yeah I swear to you, it was one of the happiest moments of my life #sadbuttrue.

 But there are also sites such as Allkpop which will give you all the latest news about all your favourite artists! and you may scoff and say "ha! like I'm going to care that much... except you will..."

I suggest you watch this video for reference ;) How people get addicted to Kpop

Good luckkkkkk
