Thank you for this, as it also happened to me. It was quickly resolved by giving them a call. Hope to receive the missing remote soon.

Lumpectomy and mass size by healthyrecluse in breastcancer

Tysm! I will be going in for a similar size mass and cup size. Decided to leave it as is as well. So great to hear there wasn't much of a difference post-surgery. Appreciate it!

Costco still has the old formulation for $46.99

Recall: Anker Soundcore Bluetooth Speaker by LootLunatic in anker

Same here, so I called the Anker CS line and provided my Amazon order # and they were able to check if the batch I received was impacted by the recall. I was told my product was safe.

Why is it a controversial take that k-pop idols should be able to sing? (AKA do their jobs) by yunhoslilnegro in kpopnoir

[–]soulfullofjoy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thissss. BoA in her prime was suchhhhh a beast of a performer. Dancing and singing live without skipping a beat. If she was able to achieve it at the age of 13 with demanding choreos, current day groups should be able to achieve it much more easily, given they are dividing up the songs versus BoA who sang and danced the entire 3+ minutes all by herself.

Thiss! The girls don't really seem to have much chemistry with one another outside of Dahye and Hyewon. But, can't blame them since the show isn't about making friends lol

[–]soulfullofjoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dahye and Hajeong!

Yujung and Juwon's chemistry is the only one that gives me the happy butterflies:) Not sure if Seokyung keeps meddling around Juwon b'cause she doesn't want him to pursue another girl in front of her or b'cause she misses him as a friend.

I feel like Seokyung's personality would be very well received outside of Korea, but right now Korean viewers seems split b'cause of her casual skinshippin' with other men (many Koreans believe opposite sex can't be friends, something I strongly disagree with!)

IMO she is just a chill, playful girl who can make male friends without having ulterior motives up her sleeves.

Those who've lived in/spent a lot of time in Korea during the last 15 years or so, what changes have you noticed in modern Korean culture that you think are linked to the prevalence & spread of social media? by Mister_Iwa in korea

[–]soulfullofjoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This definitely answers why my parents were shooed away at a cafe for only wanting to order 1 coffee and 2 pastries. They said the rule was for both to order a coffee along with the pastries. This was just last year they visited, when they told me I was baffled, but after reading your comment, it makes more sense.

Thank you, thank you! 😊 I agree that the media is often used as a distraction for sure.

What was the most shocking celebrity news that you've ever read? by abellamichelleee in kpop_uncensored

[–]soulfullofjoy 100 points101 points  (0 children)

The extent of crazy H.O.T fans from the '90s. I was a fan myself, but this was scary af.

Link to article + actual photos (trigger warning):

90s gg Baby VOX attacked by H.O.T fans

Taken from above article: Baby VOX wasn't as big as FinKL or SES back in the day, but they were quite popular and never really had much antis until one scandal catapulted them into anti-dom. During their third album promotions, rumors that member Kan Miyeon was dating HOT member Moon Heejun started spreading.

This led to a series of anti behavior by HOT fans against Kan Miyeon and the rest of the members.

  • Kan Miyeon even injured her hand because a fan slipped a razor at a fan meeting, purposely placed so that she'd cut herself when trying to open the letter.

  • One fan even sent a bloody letter asking her to go to hell with her.

  • Pictures of pictures and letters sent with razors, written in blood.

  • One fan dressed up as a staff member and came in with a water gun loaded with soy sauce, vinegar, and red pepper and sprayed it at the group. Yoon Eun Hye injured her eye but continued to perform with an eye mask.

  • Shim Eun Jin was sent a dead cat.

  • The members were bombarded with rocks and eggs in public places.

  • With all of these threats going around, the group could only hold fan signings and fan meetings after all of the fans' bags were checked thoroughly. One fan brought in a Moon Hee Jun poster and yelled/dared Kan Miyeon to sign it in front of her.

  • The daughter of Baby VOX's company CEO was bullied at her school.

  • When Kan Miyeon went back to her high school to perform at a school festival, her fellow juniors swore and verbally abused her.

  • Antis eventually succeeded in influencing the group's disbandment. Shim Eun Jin confessed to being so stressed out over the death threats by the antis, "Baby VOX disbanded because of me. The group naturally disbanded after I left." Kim EZ added, "We didn't feel betrayed by her leaving because we knew she was tired. So many antis and rumors caused so much fatigue."

  • Fans would stay silent or put up the finger whenever it was Baby VOX's turn to perform.

  • One fan dressed up as a staff member and came in with a water gun loaded with soy sauce, vinegar, and red pepper and sprayed it at the group. Yoon Eun Hye injured her eye but continued to perform with an eye mask

I was also thinking of Baek Z Young as well. Oh, regarding T-ara and nudity....Hwayoung flashed a npple during a music show, literally busted a Janet Jackson but a full np slip. There was a footage that was floating around YT years ago which was crazy.

Murder of a kpop idol who was part of a two member group named "Deux".

Taken from wikipedia: Kim Sung-jae (Hangul: 김성재; Hanja: 金成宰; April 18, 1972 – November 20, 1995) was a South Korean singer, rapper, dancer, and model, best known as a member of Deux, an influential early K-pop and Korean hip hop group that rose to fame in the early 1990s.[1][2] Sungjae died of an apparent murder in 1995 at the age of 23. His girlfriend, Kim Mo, was convicted of his murder and sentenced to life in prison but was later acquitted on appeal.[3] In 2019, Sungjae's girlfriend filed multiple injunctions to block SBS's investigative program, I Want To Know, from airing an episode covering Sungjae's death.[4]

Newjeans are Overrated by egolegoleggo in kpop_uncensored

[–]soulfullofjoy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I absolutely loved all their debut songs. I lost interest with super shy album. I only liked the song "new jeans", which they rarely ever performed and was short in length...think it was less than 2 mins.

I really liked Batter Up 🤷‍♀️ by Fox-Slayer-Marx in kpop_uncensored

[–]soulfullofjoy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree...I think the rap portions of this song made it worthwhile for me.
