Thanks for the list Archer, definitely going to be checking those out before I jump into 2011. Qbert's list in the RM thread (drat we really needed this general catch all thread), encompasses the episodes in 2011? E: Or was that you? I can't remember, was going to dig it up once I actually started on IC.

Jamesman posted:It looks like MBC plans to cancel We Got Married, since the ongoing labor strike has put new episodes on indefinite hold. I don't know anything about the politics and the way their entertainment industry is run, but if the strike were to get resolved at some point down the line, couldn't they just start up the show again? It's fairly popular right?

Not sure if this is the thread to post in, but dammmmnnnnn: http://www.allkpop.com/2012/04/t-aras-eunjung-robbed-of-23000-euros-in-italy quote:T-ara‘s Eunjung has been robbed of a staggering, 23,000 Euros (~ $30,078 USD) while in Italy. I was under the impression that idols at least have their managers go with them everywhere and why the gently caress did anyone think it was a good idea to have 30k worth of cash in 1 purse (with the idols no less)? Someone's head is going to roll once they get back to Korea, knowing that insane CEO of theirs. I'm bettin' she set that poo poo up so T-ara could buy food to actually eat.

I'm pretty sure someone seeing a girl that's probably 5'1, wearing designer clothes, with a fancy designer purse by herself as a pretty easy target to rob. I'm honestly more shocked that they didn't have any security or have a staff member accompany her.

General TV question, but since it's so prevalent in Korean TV shows, I figured I'd ask. Do the TV shows recycle laugh tracks and various other "sound effects"? If not do they just get a group of people/employees to record some of that stuff?

Speaking of SNSD... quote:It looks like the rumors surrounding Girls’ Generation and their proposed sub-unit are true! The 9-member group has just announced that three of its members, Seohyun, Tiffany, and Taeyeon, will be joining forces to create a new sub-group called “Taetiseo“, and their first mini-album has been entitled “Twinkle”. http://www.allkpop.com/2012/04/girls-generation-announces-their-sub-unit-taetiseo  That is so loving weird, it reminds me of high fructose corn syrup for some reason.

saintonan posted:Jessica Busy being absolutely fabulous. She is one of the most photogenic celebrities I've ever seen. Not necessarily the best looking, but she looks great in almost every photo. Seriously though, I wonder just what the hell she's doing when every other member is busy with poo poo. There's just no way her company would let her do nothing this entire time right? Also caught this extra tidbit: quote:SM Entertainment officially announced the creation of this new subunit on April 19th. They said in a statement, “Girls’ Generation’s subunit will feature the various talents of each Girls’ Generation member by changing the members of the unit according to the music and concept of each new subunit album. This subunit will aim to grab the attention of fans with all aspects of music, performance, and fashion styles.” This actually sounds pretty cool; rotating members (that can't get acting gigs hah) into the sub group and pump out some singles here and there, all the while keeping them relevant/fresh in the minds of people. Selane posted:edit: Haha, I just noticed how terrified Seohyun looks in that pic. 'What have you done to meeee?' Haha yeah, that concept is like the complete opposite of the type of person she is. I guess that's why it's a jarring picture for me.

saintonan posted:Just when you think Sunny is all aegyo and chicken catching, she does something like this. She can hold her own with any of the others in the group, I think only Taeyeon is clearly more talented. Wow yeah, only Taeyeon is better and I think she's on the same level as Jessica (and then everyone else). I had some inkling she was more capable from her ad-libs on TV shows, but had no idea she was this good. SM is totally wasting her talent in SNSD by making her sing in that high pitched voice for all the group songs.

General question about Korean culture/pop culture as well, but how is North Korea viewed by the public? I know the American media portrays North Korea as a huge concern and threat to the states, but I'm curious as to how the people living right next door to it think.

Is DDD basically the only place that has a decent library of Infinity Challenge subs? I caught the yes/no special and saw that they haven't started part 2 of it yet. Same deal with the telepathy special, wanted to check that one out as well. I've tried googling it and know it's on kshownow, but that option has very little.

So SNSD has a new teaser out for their Japanese single that's going to come out and it's pretty loving boss. I would have never used the words badass with them, but the shot walking down the hallway and as a group is pretty much that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWJhAW-g1p8 I wonder if this means we won't be seeing them on our favorite TV shows since they'll be in Japan promoting.

So I've been watching a few eps of Infinity Challenge and I'll say that it's a better show than Running Man, but not as entertaining. The challenges and concepts of the show really are amazing. I think I like IC for the same reason why I liked IY1, the cast interactions sprinkled with some pretty neat activities. I will say that seeing HaHa on IC is really weird for me, he seems so very normal. YJS seems very reserved as well, more of an MC in this show. I think it's just the tone of the different casts though, RM seems more energetic. It's also *much* harder to get into IC in my opinion, the episodes are not nearly self contained. The comedy style of the show is completely different; it's not as structured as RM's is. It feels a lot more "improv", rather than people trying to be outright entertaining. On RM the cast members play up a certain role, on IC it seems like they're mostly being themselves and are just hanging around and shooting the poo poo. I think because RM has more clearly defined rules and expectations, it sets up the punchline more effectively (so to speak). An example would be in RM all of them could be tasked to finish a challenge together and there is a spy they don't know about. Whereas in IC, they'd be free to finish it however they wanted; together or by back stabbing each other outright. The way RM sometimes has things setup, makes the cast members in direct opposition to each other, just seems there isn't a lot of opportunity for IC to do so. I.E. cast members actively trying to prevent a task being done in RM vs. cast members fighting each other to do a task first. However trying to watch Infinity Challenge is an exercise in frustration, the group that's subbing it is all over the place and absolutely no one streams the show in a consistent manner. I've given up on the show about 3 times just because of all the hoops you have to jump through to watch it. I'm currently watching the wresting special, and my only option to watch the last part is to download an 800 meg video file. While the entire first parts are streamable, really god drat frustrating.

http://www.allkpop.com/2012/07/mbc-labor-union-announces-end-to-strike-normal-broadcast-on-the-18th Related to this thread: quote:After a half-year of uncertainty, the MBC labor union has announced an end to the 170-day strike, the longest in broadcast history. I am sad that they didn't achieve what they set out to do, but I don't blame them, a man's gotta eat. Hopefully things work out for the better. Looks like I'm going to have to start watching the HaHa vs. Hong Chul arc for IC, since the conclusion is what they're probably going to air first. If kshownow decides to sub it on a regular basis (I can' see why they wouldn't it's one of the most popular shows in Korea) now would be a good time to jump in, considering the only option to watch previous episodes is a mess and new IC eps would have have to start fresh.

She's pretty talented yeah? From what I've read, she seems to be the one of the most talent in T-ara right? Some other agency should pick her up, since she's already got an existing fanbase. I also think this is pretty much the end for T-ara as a "top tier" k-pop group; this entire mess has been really ugly and honestly this is what they'll be remembered for. I don't think the stigma of this situation will ever go away.

Wow the backtracking has made this situation even more entertaining. Holy poo poo. In any other agency's hands, T-ara would probably be giving SNSD a run for their money in the k-pop world. That is one terribly run company. I'm pretty disappointed in the T-ara members myself, although I wonder how much of it is them just not liking her and how much of it is the toxic atmosphere.

daaaaaayyyyaaaaam: http://www.allkpop.com/2012/07/t-aras-former-back-up-dancer-claims-jiyeon-once-slapped-hwayoung quote:“I am a member of Hot Chicks, an exclusive dance team for T-ara, and am also working with Davichi, KARA, Brown Eyed Girls, Rainbow Pixie, and more. Wow, this is like the gift that keeps on giving. Lots of people coming out in support of Hwayoung. I'm wondering if the normal populace has to deal with bullying on a daily basis and they just have to endure that poo poo and are now lashing out. I'm honestly surprised at the level of hate T-ara is getting. Although I wonder how much of it is attributed to the press release of CCM blaming Hwayoung. I bet if they just stated "we have decided to part ways" and no explanation given, it would have been much, much better.

You know, the ironic thing is that KKS might have been *right* about T-ara, regarding them being prideful and disrespectful a few months back. Now when push came to shove, he stuck with his moneymakers, but drat what if he was right all along? Was there ever a TV drama about idol drama? Because this poo poo is entertaining as all hell.
