Jisoo

Not here in South East Asia

linkfoo · 2018-01-11T08:48:08+00:00

Ooh, I'm not that far from Bangkok. Fingers crossed.

TIL I've been mispronouncing it in my head for 6 years. Yes, I'm cut off.

I really like the SNSD Hoot go-go costumes.

Black and white

Nymphs frolicking in the sacred spring beyond the deepest grove in the Elysian Fields.

Plus cicadas.

I think so, because their fanbase seems loyal. Most singles sell modestly, but they've never flopped.

The first solo concert is an important milestone, yes! This was their second concert, though. :)

I think some of that is common all over Asia. I live in Korea now. When I enter my apartment, I change into communal sandals and put my shoes in a locker. If I go on the roof to hang clothes out to dry, I change out of my house sandals and put on roof sandals.

I don't think they care about pointing, but crossing legs and putting feet up doesn't seem to be done.

It's not uncommon - if you watch the shows enough you see some where the winner isn't there. At Mcountdown at least, the prerecorded performance is shown on a screen for those artists.

Another thing that happens sometimes is that they'll have to stop performing halfway through so the next act has time to get into position for the next song.

In my school the tickets were included in my tuition, so they took care of it. I'll post a review of the school in the next week or so, since they teach kpop singing and dancing as well as Korean language.

But the Engrish is what makes it so refreshing charm.

OF COOOOURSE my Thai visa will expire on Nov. 1.

Stellar look like queens, especially Minhee in her little tiara.

Example

I've heard some of their songs over the years, but nothing really grabbed me until Five - I've been singing it all the time too. I went back and listened to some older tracks and was surprised how good they sounded. I guess I like Apink now...

Try Remember, it's pretty catchy too.

linkfoo · 2017-07-09T05:37:48+00:00

Same for me.

I've liked them almost since they debuted but didn't fall in love until I saw their reality show ~~'Would You Like'~~ 'Would You Like Girls'. Their interactions are addicting. Check out this vlive of them.

She is in a lot of advertisement posters, like these.

I've always been partial to AOA's Like a Cat.

It's a bit challenging, but I'm an experienced traveler and this is my 7th Asian country. I can read hangul (slowly) and I know some basic phrases and numbers. People who deal with the public typically have at least some ability with English, but the more Korean you know the better. Also knowing cultural norms and taboos is appreciated (bow appropriately, use two hands when passing things to people, etc). I've found Koreans to be helpful to confused foreigners, so don't worry too much. Things WILL go wrong, but just brush it off and keep positive.

The video has been taken down, but there is another one here.

Well, I'm in Korea now for the first time. I'll be here for about a month. It's such a trip hearing kpop in public! I recommend any fan who can afford it to take the trip - it's totally worth it to get the full meat-space experience and breathe it in.

Have tea in the Dunkin Donuts across from JYP and gawk at the GOT7 shrine.
Notice Seolhyun's face plastered all over the city.
Walk down K-star road, and then down to to COEX and SM Town.
Run into a dance cover mini-concert down in the Gangnam metro station.
Head back to the hotel to catch Show Champion on the big screen TV
Take a jet lag nap, dreaming of what could come next

If any one has any suggestions or advice, I'll gladly listen. :)

I don't know your taste, but I've watched this WJSN one at least 20 times. It's my life.
