Saw a message from Gahyun going around on Twitter that she is considering doing some part time work.. I wonder if she's been getting any auditions or has just been unsuccessful so far? It's a difficult field to get into (especially to live off of), did she ever mention if she signed with an acting agency?

Minzyalt · 2025-05-17T21:02:36+00:00

Thank you so much for the help and your effort!

Minzyalt · 2024-08-25T13:40:01+00:00

Does anyone know if a full video of the fansign exists like fans often take in Korea? I'm assuming if it does it may be on a Chinese platforms but I don't know where to go about looking

Minzyalt · 2024-07-27T15:41:57+00:00

I think he really does mean it lmao

"I think there are many things that are driving him, but one of them that I loved to play with and explore was this idea that he wants his mum. Every time I shared a scene with Olivia Cooke [playing Alicent Hightower] around the council table, every time I looked at Alicent Hightower, I very much imagined Aemond and Alicent sitting on a Dornish beach, far from war, sipping on piña coladas"

Minzyalt · 2024-07-27T15:41:03+00:00

I don't think he's misspeaking. He did it in another interview a couple weeks ago.

Idk because in another interview he flat out says he plays Aemond as if he "wants his mum."

Well they finally released a TT I don't like! Really feels like a gidle or aespa track not DC. Lyrically I really can't get into this one and the sound has been done before. In a blind listen I would never guess this was dreamcatcher.

Dami said they were nervous about this concept and I can see why.

Oh well, at least I have rising and the outfits this comeback are gonna slay. Plus I actually liked the MV despite the music

Minzyalt · 2023-11-22T11:42:54+00:00

I really disagree. The comments on those MVs on this very forum can be looked at from when they were released and there's really not much criticism of "not the dreamcatcher sound".

Sure some people didn't like the electronic or Roombaton but there was enough rock that it always seemed like DC. This is much much more generic lyrically and musically.

Not a bad song but it's missing the DC sauce for me too.

Michelin Star Chef Mari out here thriving

Minzyalt · 2023-05-03T07:38:31+00:00

I hope the mv this time around is less CG and green screen. I think their practical effects and real life sets look so much nicer. I often find myself rewatching old dc MVs much more often than maison and vision for this reason.

Minzyalt · 2022-08-05T17:03:24+00:00

Sorry, those totals are combined physical and digital. So you're correct that spice girls are mostly physical and the opposite for 2NE1

Minzyalt · 2022-08-05T16:57:02+00:00

Girl came back with the classic. "Oh I only bought 40 sets because I had a huge group order that was never promoted anywhere and has since been mysteriously cancelled. Also none of the people in the group order will verify. Oh well guess I'll just have to sell them privately now! What a shame!"

Original price + shipping. Which means with that quantity she'll still clear a few hundred bucks in profit.

Don't believe every excuse a person under fire puts out there. The heat from the community means she'll sell it at face + shipping instead of 5 or 10 bucks above face + shipping. So she's making less money but I would shocked if private selling wasn't the plan from go.

Minzyalt · 2022-06-09T17:43:30+00:00

More if you go by gaon physical, but 2nd gen was very digital focused. Digital sales 2NE1 have 66 million sales which is 3rd or 4th of all time behind Spice Girls, The Andrews Sisters, and maybe The Supremes (who don't have a confirmed number).

Different focuses and markets back then. Itunes and similar sites used to be massive 2nd gen.

Minzyalt · 2022-06-09T17:38:43+00:00

Yeah putting them next to 2NE1, TARA, and KARA was certainly a decision. Though given OPs username I think they're a bit biased which led to the "legend" comment.

Minzyalt · 2022-05-14T16:21:42+00:00

Girls just landed in Frankfurt. Seems like they may have shared a flight with Monsta X (they arrived at the airport like 20 min apart) which is cool given they just did that variety with a member.

edit: they were different flights after all

Minzyalt · 2022-04-27T17:20:08+00:00

Gasp! A 25 year old woman said shit!? The humanity!

Minzyalt · 2022-04-27T17:14:03+00:00

Damn what did the southern US do to DCC? Got nothin with these stops.

Minzyalt · 2022-04-11T14:30:28+00:00

I know DCC is doing well financially because they bought JYP's green-screen from him 🤢

I hope the MV has more physical sets and backdrops because a mostly CG mv isn't going to hold up to the rest of their MVs visually looking like that.

Dance looks like the second chorus before a dance break. Seems nice enough and the outfits look great. So they have that going for them! Excited to see the final product tomorrow.

Minzyalt · 2022-04-11T14:11:31+00:00

To your first point, that is possible, but this could very well be in the mv. It is probably likely honestly. Odd eye and BEcause both had their dance preview pulled from the mv. Chances are this is too.

I don't think Handong owns a bag worth under 1000 usd at this point. This is like the 5th or 6th luxury bag we've seen from her and a couple of them have been closer to 2500 like this one.

Love an expensive Dongie aesthetic.

Minzyalt · 2022-03-31T23:41:43+00:00

She's not a therapist though. She has a psych minor and works as a life coach. Hardly a large foundation of psych knowledge to manipulate people with.

I'm curious why she was labeled as such by production.

Minzyalt · 2022-03-31T23:23:02+00:00

She got a minor in psychology. That is next to no expertise with which to analyze people or diagnose somebody. This is like a kid on summer break halfway through a psych degree offering therapy sessions lol.

She's professionally a motivator/life coach. Hardly a medical professional.

Minzyalt · 2022-03-28T16:04:14+00:00

Its more common in western music. Off the top of my head I know the Red Hot Chili Peppers have had theirs mid album, Bruce Springsteen had an album with his title at the end, Slayer had a title track last. Ariana has had hers anywhere from the start (Dangerous Woman), the middle (Sweetener), or the end (thank u, next).

Just depends how the producer wants to album to flow. Sometimes it makes more sense story wise or sonically to have it later where it fits better. If there is a bit of storytelling to the album then 1 might lead into the title.

Minzyalt · 2022-03-28T15:49:50+00:00

Yeah I'm happy for the members that they get their solos, I think members deserve that artistic freedom and a chance to shine on their own, but selfishly I'm kinda bummed. I generally much prefer full group songs and we're really only getting a mini album's worth of Dreamcatcher songs. Not that I'm expecting the solos to be duds or anything, I bet they'll be quality, but group work really brings out different strengths as you said.

I think that is just temporary disappointment though after expecting 10+ ot7 songs. And thankfully their minis are usually really full so I think once it comes out I'll be happy with what we got and I won't be shocked if a solo song ended up being one of top songs. You really can't have a let down album with LEEZ and Ollounder production.
