It's looking as if LJ is slowly fading into the limelight into emo dumping ground (hence LJ rename: "Bury My Dread", inspired by the Persona 3 song) and comment whoring.

Ditz dumping ground is becoming ze tumblr, first was a general shinies and fandom discussion forum then turning into... a more regularly updated blog. All the blog, less the fuss.

And general inanity, to feel like you're really talking to me or within earshot distance of me is over at Ze Plurk.

I really should work on the wordpress more often because hell, I'm a writer. It's my main platform for writing what I want, to show off what I can do.

It's easy to have multiple personalities when you know how!

[Edaily SPN Park Mi Ae Reporter] Following the news of singer K.Will, it has been revealed late that group BEAST was also banned.
The song "Still" on BEAST's debut album which came out in October was banned by KBS.

"Still" is a sentimental R&B song that expresses the feelings of a person who has no experience in breaking up.

The song did not pass trial because of a phrase that has the potential to be misheard and misunderstood as a cuss word. Within the lyrics "The loneliness surrounds me as I spend the night in tears, shh," the exclamation "shh" is heard as the cuss word "sh*t."

A representative from BEAST's entertainment company CUBE said, "Of course the phrase was not used as a cuss word." The company has not yet submitted a request for a retrial.

After their debut last month with the song "Bad Girl," BEAST has been gaining popularity.

Winning the hearts of Asia with [Sorry, Sorry], Super Junior has announced plans to hold their very first concert in Taiwan on the 20th of February next year, during the auspicious Chinese New Year.

True to their popularity, there have already been calls to the organizing unit by black market profiteers, for 3000 tickets to the show.

The tickets officially go on sale in December, but the best tickets, namely the front zones, will only be on preorder for the first round of sales, so fans in the Southern and Central parts of Taiwan are complaining that they have to make a trip up to Taipei specially for the tickets.

Organizing unit Superdome expressed: “We’re working out the details right now, and we’ll try our best to coordinate our efforts with the fans. To prevent black market profiteers from making huge purchases, fans have to register first before getting a number, and they have to show their identification cards too.”

Even with these precautions, there already have been attempts made to get tickets first. An example would be some calling up Superdome to purchase 3000 tickets at one go, and others claiming that they are making company purchases – without being able to name a proper company to boot.

(Rest of article not pertaining to SJ has been omitted)


I guess these tickets must fetch alot on the black market huh. If anyone is interested in purchasing tickets, here

On an October episode, Strong Heart's very own Boom Academy had attacked four of their female guests with some very unattractive pictures. Back then, Ga-In had set the record time for destroying her past picture within seconds, but she may have a new challenger.

The chorus is pretty catchy but the engrishy intro makes me die a little inside.

You'd expect Lee Hyori who's under Mnet Media to attend the MAMA's (Mnet Asia Music Awards), but nope, she won't be there.

The MAMA's have gotten off to an extremely shaky start with all the boycotts and artists not attending. They sure are plagued.

Mnet Media stated:

"Lee Hyori will not be able to attend the MAMA's. It's because of activities that were already scheduled long ago. In addition, Lee Hyori didn't have any activities as a singer this year, so it's appropriate that she's not on stage anyway."


For those of you who are still excited about the show, you can tune in on November 21st, 2009. That means you YG fangirls and boys.

PSY revealed in a recent interview that he thinks G-Dragon is a very good role model and the most talented out of all the idols.

As a songwriter, he was asked about his hoobaes and he answered, "In terms of talent, it'sBig Bang. Especially, G-Dragon. He's so good. Idols that do real music and just plain idols have different futures ahead of them. If the idols right now can do music independently and compose themselves, they will have the same energy and passion they have right now 10 years later. G-Dragon will be one of them."

He also spoke about the plagiarism controversy surrounding G-Dragon, "It depends on the person who's listening. Regardless, from that incident, I'm sure he's grown a lot."

Psy continued to compliment the Big Bang leader, "Aside from the publicized controversy, I still have big hopes for G-Dragon's next work. If I have any kind of expectations, I just hope for something that is his own and authentic as his next project."

Looks like Super Junior-M has their work cut out for them. New Asian pop group G.I.P (亞帥公爵 lit. Handsome Asian Dukes), composed of Chinese-born Koreans, have stepped into the Chinese music boy band scene to face off as Super Junior-M's greatest adversaries. Scouted in a chance encounter by their future manager while performing in the subway, the six members are led by Wei Yuanguo, and joined by lead vocalist Jin Guisheng, as well as Cui Mingzhe, Lin Guangguo, Xu Chenglin, and rapper Cui Lin. This debut group have already begun sweeping the country with their innovative combination of hip-hop, dance, and rap skills. Bringing new elements of hip-hop into their music, G.I.P has been labeled by many as "Asia's Number One Perfect Harmony Group."
