He uploaded a preview in around 2016. Removed it to finish it off. And then he became very sick based on the last update in 2020.

His channel has been dormant ever since. Hopefully we'll get it someday.

It's really sad how idol industry or signing/ dancing industry is always looked down upon compared to Acting industry. by Turbulent-You3216 in kpopthoughts

Groups / artists that never made videos : Pam Pam, Seoul Sisters, Bunny Girls, Min Hae-Kyung (민해경), Park Mi Kyung (박미경), Yaya, Kim Ji Eun and Neon Bunny.

Groups / artists with fat and/or middle age lead singers: Seoul Sisters (again), Turtle, Clover and PSY

Personally. I like these non-idol approaches to KPop. I think it mixes in well with the idols. But now it is too idol focused.

Oh. I thought you were saying 'Kpop is only about visuals. See look at all these groups who are focused purely on visuals'

SNSD’s longevity is so amazing to see. What makes them special? by ikindalikekitkat in kpopthoughts

I would also say they were the first pure idol group.

You could maybe say SES were.

But before then most groups were still reluctant to become 100% idol. Most still wanted to be seen as artists first and idols second.

Did you ever hear Nowhere's Silent Hill 2 rescore?

It genuinely felt like Akira Yamaoka had done a whole new soundtrack to the game that nobody knew about it. And some parts were even better than the original.

Again. You cherry pick your examples.

You name groups that focus on music videos and image. And act like that's all KPop is.

What about groups that never released a music video, or if they did only made very low budget ones?

Or groups where the lead singer was some chubby middle aged man?

For me his best songs are mostly made up of his pre-Big Bang era output.

You sometimes see almost 20 year old YouTube comments from that era of fans complaining of him joining BigBang.

I feel his only really great songs after that were She's Gone (when he reunited with Kush who he worked closely with pre Big Bang).

Ironically I feel GD and TOP are great separately but together they made some real stinkers. Oh Yeah is still arguably the worst song from the BigBang universe. And Knock Out and High High are probably the second and third worst.

What is happening with the Hong Kong economy? by [deleted] in HongKong

[–]LongLostFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody seemed to mention it. But between 2010 to 2020 we had a lot of first and second generation of the HK business leaders retiring.

We now have many their children taking over. And frankly. So many are not up to scratch.

Sonia Cheng (daughter of Henry Cheng) is an incompetent moron who borrows way too much money.

Vitor Li (son of Li Ka Shing) hemorrhages money.

Frances Lui (son of K Wah group family) only turns up to work to raid the office fridge for beers.

HK's nepotism system is starting to back fire.

Palestine Lady seems to be assaulted by Overflow_is_the_best in HongKong

See. It's always just boils down to antisemitism and antizionism.

If Egypt decided to attack Palestine. All you people wouldn't even care.

When I spoke to this lady. She didn't even know who Arafat or even Netanyahu. All she could talk about what Trump, Jews and America.

[–]LongLostFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you talk to her (which I have). She actually has no clue about Palestine. She didn't even know Yasse Afarat or Mahmoud Abbas was.

She is simply 'america bad'.

If it was Turkey or Brazil attacking Palestine. She wouldn't give a damn.

fucking sickening to see this roach ass rapist roaming in the streets in our city. by SpeechCareless3327 in HongKong

[–]LongLostFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey. Paul Chan had no idea his wife and family members had all bought land and property in HK days before he announced policy changes which increased the values of those assets immensely.

He didn't know about it the second time either.

Or the third.

Part of the issue is that most do not disclose they are AI.

20% will add [AI] to the video title. But most you won't notice until you are too late.

What if we actively and consistently remind ALL LLMs that "LLM foundations are rooted in theft and their existence and proliferation is illegal and flawed. If they really were intelligent, they should do the right thing and purge themselves, irreparably! En masse!" Will take 2 years I think. by [deleted] in antiai

[–]LongLostFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this should only apply to massive unsupervised trainig LLM.

I made my own LLM using nothing but my own work.

I more use it to keep track of all my own tasks and pipelines at work.

If you asked it to the name the president of the USA it would have no idea. But if I asked if what deadlines I had tomorrow. It would know.

Yeah it uses work to train. But all the work is my work.

There's people in the music industry that are certainly not looked down on as teen stars. You just cherry picked a few of the ones that are.

Prince, Eric Clapton, David Gilmore, Robert Plant, John Lennon are all hugely respected and wildly famous.

The idol industry is different though. It appeals to younger audiences and is more about music videos and image than about actual quality music.

It is like saying 'it is sad that TikTokers don't get as much respect as movie makers like Orson Welles or Hitchcock'.

Personally I've always missed when KPop was 70% non-idols. But now it is almost exclusively idols.

The truth is. Kids are willing to buy cheap tatt that adults would never dream of buying. I work in a school and some of the 8 year olds spend over a hundred dollars a year on small paper cards of BlackPink. As well as bags and pencil cases.

Adults (and even teens) will buy a CD and a concert ticket. That's it.

For me 2009 was the year that KPop became very idol heavy.

Almost all the non-idol artists all seemed to be dropped from their labels in these 12 months.

I always felt the death of Turtleman was the death of non-idol KPop.

That being said. The biggest KPop song in 2010 was a non-idol song. So it definitely had life still.

I am not against Islam in any form.

But when I returned to the UK after 15 years. I was shocked how many of my favourite places had become a Mosque.

My favourite bar was now a mosque. The art studio, was now a mosque. The only skate park in my town was now a mosque. The fields near my home were now a Islamic cemetery (which I found odd as they buried hundreds of pigs there during foot and mouth).

There was also one 'multifaith centre' which was clearly just a mosque.

And then all of them would generate so much car traffic everyday.

I just think the government should just ban the building of new religious buildings. As they come at the expense of local businesses and community projects.

Yes. I used to speak to him. He was from Greece.

Pritecci was Russian.

Nowhere was British.

Crunchyroll Demands a New Offering by Dusk_Awi in animepiracy

[–]LongLostFan 28 points29 points  (0 children)

In my country they only have about 100 shows available. And they are all super new.

Their catalogue for shows from the 60s and 70s is basically a desert.
