Woolim merge SM C&C

If it isn't clear enough, I have been a fan of SM Town since the beginning of my Kpop days. Regardless of rumors I've read or the scandals surround with SM Entertainment, my heart belongs to SM Town. Simply put, I would never be the Kpop fan I am today without SM.

I was ecstatic to find out about SM C&C, the side label that manages top actors (Jang Dong Gun, Kim Haneul, Han Jimin) and top MC (Kang Ho Dong, Shin Dong Yup). Not too sure about dramaland but SM certainly had huge impact on variety shows. I'm happy to see more of my favorite idols on variety show as of result.

However the news of Woolim Entertainment merge with SM C&C was shocking and I can't help but to feel bitter about it. I have no bad feelings about Woolim artistes, in fact I do like them. It feels different from San.E going to Brand New Music, because that is a match made in heaven. Woolim and SM? It's just an odd match.

I am slightly happy when the management insisted that they are not going to change style, but now there's rumors about Woolim artistes joining SM concert. Oh gosh, please no. Let it be separate. I love my SM Town interaction and to put Woolim artiste to the mix? I don't even want to imagine.

I wish Woolim artiste can get better promotion, but not interfere with my SM Town. I don't even want Woolim trainees to learn SM style. Let's keep it SM and Woolim separately.

Phantom 다알아 Lyrics (Bahasa Malaysia Lirik)

Saya sudah tahu

Saya sudah tahu hanya dengan pandangan wajahmu
Saya sudah tahu walaupun kamu tak bercakap panjang
Bertapa kamu mencintaiku
Bertapa kamu kasihiku

Saya sudah tahu bertapa kamu kasihi saya yang tak bermakna
Walaupun kamu tidak berkata, matamu yang melihat saya beritahu
Saya berterima kasih untuk kewujudanmu dalam hidupku
Saya tidak tahu pun jika I boleh menerima kelayakan cinta ini

Saya tidak tahu tetapi dahulu, hujan jatuh ke hatiku
Kegembiraan hanya mengelak saya
Cinta saya mungkin nampak seperti penakut sebalik perang
Tetapi kamu memberi saya keberanian, memberitahu saya bahawa saya boleh
Bahawa dunia ini masih lagi keperikemanusiaan
Tangan kecil kamu memegang tangan saya dengan erat
Dan saya tak akan melepaskannya

Saya sudah tahu hanya dengan pandangan wajahmu
Saya sudah tahu walaupun kamu tak bercakap panjang
Saya sudah tahu, wajahmu memberitahu
Kamu sentiasa berada di belakangku
Saya sudah tahu, kamu tinggal denganku walaupun pedih
Kamu menerima kelemahanku
Sekarang saya memelukmu, kamulah yang terakhir
Kamu sudah tahu

Biasanya saya berkata bahawa hidup ini susah dan kamu benar-benar mendengariku
Pada malam gelap yang susah untuk mengharungi bersendirian
Kamu berjalan di lorong impianku bersamaku
Kamu menghancuri segala dinding besar untuk saya
Kamu mementingkan kebimbangan remeh saya dahulu
Dahulu saya mengharungi dengan bangga kerana kegembiraan sudah tiada
Tetapi kamu buat saya sebagai watak utama melalui konsert ini
Sekarang saya tahu segala, kamu yang membuat diri saya sendiri
Itulah sebab saya boleh bernafas dan hidup
Sekarang segala sangat bermakna kepada say
Semua kebencian yang mengikuti saya telah lesap
Terima kasih kerana memberi hidup sebegini
Untuk membenarkan saya untuk dikasihi
Untuk tinggal bersama saya

Saya sudah tahu hanya dengan pandangan wajahmu
Saya sudah tahu walaupun kamu tak bercakap panjang
Saya sudah tahu, wajahmu memberitahu
Kamu sentiasa berada di belakangku
Saya sudah tahu, kamu tinggal denganku walaupun pedih
Kamu menerima kelemahanku
Sekarang saya memelukmu, kamulah yang terakhir
Kamu sudah tahu

Saya rasa bersalah kerana saya tidak memiliki banyak untuk kamu
Saya kenal hati kamu
Saya sudah tahu walaupun kamu tidak berkata cinta

Saya sudah tahu hanya dengan pandangan wajahmu
Saya sudah tahu walaupun kamu tak bercakap panjang
Saya sudah tahu, wajahmu memberitahu
Kamu sentiasa berada di belakangku
Saya sudah tahu, kamu tinggal denganku walaupun pedih
Kamu menerima kelemahanku
Sekarang saya memelukmu, kamulah yang terakhir
Kamu sudah tahu

P/s Heart in malay is "Jantung" but we normally use "hati" to express love which means liver. So yes, it is funny when I see people touching the chest when saying "hati" We don't use "jantung" because it just sound weird. I guess the story behind it is that "hati' sounds similar to heart, that's how we come to use it.

Untouchable - Call Me feat Andrew Choi

It seem unreal that 2 years has passed and my boys are back from military! Haha I really did "survive" 2 years without their new music. Their last single "You You" was a fun upbeat song and made me wanting more. Now back with "Call Me" with Kpop Star 2 Top3 finalist, Andrew Choi. This song was produced by the talented Andrew Choi himself.

The song begin with soulful RnB vocals by Andrew, makes you drawn in slowly. The rhythm is easy on the ears and I always had like Andrew's voice.

I get happier at Sleepy's and The Action rap parts, I almost teared a little. I miss these guys. I'm not an expert on hip hop, but I love the way they rap and their voice are always great.

I hope for more songs by them! Where's Hwayoung by the way, not the female Hwayoung.. His voice was great, too bad he's not always promoting.

I wrote this post last month, forget to post it up as I got busy in the middle. I didn't watch them perform this song. I wish TS spend less time on BAP and focus more on Secret and Untouchable.

I'm loving Phantom I Already Know (다알아)

I didn't have to blog, You Already Know that I love Phantom! (Didyouseewhatidid!) I blog this as soon as I heard it. I'm such a fan.

The MV though.. Makes me jealous! I really wanted to go the concert so bad! I still remember the date. OH so jealous. If I couldn't go to their 2nd concert, the universe hates me. A little trivia, the clips are contributed by the people who went the concert! Awesome!

The song is so short though, like less than 3 minutes. It's enough to captivate me but I wish it was longer..more Sanchez's adlib. The teaser didn't have Sanchez's part..was mad and now the song is short? Arggh.

Sanchez and Hanhae voices, omg it's like eating honey, very sweet and good for you! Kiggen, that deep voice is like velvety creamy sweet cream. It's lunch time when I wrote this. I'm sorry. I've read the lyrics translation, I'll have toothache right now, it is even more sweeter. These guys are so romantic. Have you read Like Cho Yong Pil and Come as you are lyrics translation? Any girl that marries them in the future, I'm so jealous. All mistakes are forgiven. Like seriously.

Could they be performing this? I'm not sure because they didn't promote Come as you are, but I'm excited anyway. I'm excited for anything Phantom!

P/s Happy 1st Anniversary Phantom! Phantomism for life!

You in my arms

Even with just one album, the late Yoo Jae Ha is a singer that many talented singers of today still talk about.

It was on Immortal Song 2 episode on Yoo Jae Ha that makes me want to share his talent. It was a great episode. I highly recommend to watch Ha Dong Kyun's performance.

The arrangement was apt for Ha Dong Kyun but it didn't stray too far from the original. Gilgu Bonggu harmony was just perfect. I really love the combination of their voice along with Ha Dong Kyun. I was impressed with his last performance on Immortal Song 2, but this performance was even better and umm he won! SPOILER! Haha

The lyrics are poetic, it is unfortunate that Kpop only had one album of him. Do check out his album!

I'm loving Verbal Jint featuring Troy Bumkey Walking in the rain

Despite hating rain, like the actual raining not Mr. Jung Ji Hoon. I like rain related song. My favorite is One Way's Rainy Days and Beast's On Rainy Days. Speaking of which, I really hope it rains in South East Asia, because we got bad haze over here. Thankfully my area had some rain so it isn't as bad as other area.

I didn't really know about this song before clicking the video because I didn't understand their tweets. I thought VJ was just supporting Bumkey's Bad Girl..Ahaha but this is awesome, great rapper and great vocalist, I had this great feeling about this whole song.

I wonder who produced this song, it felt like Primary or Zion.T kind of production. The music is rich with musical instrument without being redundant. I love the smooth transtition of Verbal Jint's rap parts and Bumkey's part. I know this is is VJ's song but I'm more biased towards great vocals of Bumkey. His voice control is playful yet classy.

I do love Rap but I'm not really good in commenting about it. Verbal Jint do work well with any artiste, I have not heard any collaboration of his that doesn't sound right. It's his deep voice that stood out in any collaboration that makes him a good rapper. I find girl rappers weird..only a few I can enjoy like Yoon Mirae and Miryo..the rest, are kinda meh or plain bad.

Random Post

I got have those random post sometimes.. You probably curious what's my other life is.

I had a personal blog before..but since my life is pretty much dead, I stopped blogging. I don't have any interesting event to share and if there is, it's too personal for public view.

Time flies by without notice. I'm scared but I can't wait for next year to start already. 2013 seems meh. Plus, next year is MY YEAR! The year of Horse! Though, usually it doesn't mean good luck. Nevermind, it will give good luck those next to me!

May has just ended and pheww! Wasn't it a busy month for weddings? So many invitation and many Kpop celebs are getting married as well. I didn't attend any since I hate weddings. I don't know..just the atmosphere is not my thing. Lot's of meeting distance relative, those I will only meet during wedding. I just don't get the Kadazan culture of inviting everyone connected.

It also means the end of Kaamatan or Harvest festival. My least favorite holiday because I'm not pretty (pageant contest), not talented (singing contest), sore loser (traditional games) and not a drinker (lots of booze). I'm so not Kadazan, my ancestor would cry. Sorry. this child of yours can speak more Korean than Kadazan.

I've been studying Korean.. Alone. I got so many books on Korea. Ahaha that's all I buy these days. I just purchase Lonely Planet travel guide on Korea. Hmm maybe I should have bought Seoul guide instead, but it's okay can watch Korean travel shows with ease. Lol

it's my blog and I write if I want to.

Happy Birthday Micky Park Yoo Chun!

My wish for you is to appear on all the music show in Korea. I miss DBSK, but I'm fine with JYJ. As long as you are happy.

I haven't watch anything YooChun lately, but he is still my ultimate bias.

Gaah. I feel old too. Kpop changed so much over the years.. Never thought DBSK would end up like this and SuJu..don't let me start.

JYP out Brand New Music IN!!!

I'm on roll! Woot! 3rd post of the day!

So I read BN_Music tweet today and it says "JYP......" I'm like "wtf do they need to talk about JYP?" Before actually trying to read hangeul. I clicked on the article and yes! I shouted for joy literally as I try to understand the Korean article.. San.E is in Brand New Music!

If you follow my twitter, you would know how I react.. Hmm. Yeah, go check out my twitter @HallyuSurfer #selfpromotion

He released "Rap Circus" MV today and WARNING IT CONTAIN CLOWNS! And harsh language..:D

I hate clowns but I can watch it because it's not in person. Lol It's fine to skip the video, it's pretty cool editing but what you got watch is the subbed version provided by thehiphopLE on YouTube. Just read the translation and cover the rest...if you're scared of clowns. Kekeke

Anyway the lowdown is, he definitely dissed JYP.. I am assuming he referred the company as "Zoo" and he also hated his past project as he said to forget all the nickname because he is starting fresh with "Big Boy". Hmm. I can't say more, I probably got lost in translation since I am not sure if he dissed GD or not.

Welcome to Brand New Music San.E! Woot I am happy for you! JYP is going down! Woohoo! I told ya! Ahem, yeah. I left the JYP fandom since JaeBum left. I knew JYP was trouble. Don't know why you join JYP anyway, the company forces you to go JYP style all the time.

Officially Loving Geeks

Better late than never. After Phantom's last stage, I didn't have any song that I really love. EXO was disappointing..I mean, I love watching them on stage but the song got to go! Music Bank was not too fun. I feel like missing an episode wasn't a bother.

Anyway, I watched Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook on Sunday and I come to learn more about Geeks. I love their single "How Are you" so much, so I anticipate the performance. They didn't perform it but I like their talk part. Hehe the origin of their group is interesting.Through online. yup, it's the new era. Hehe For the video, kbsworld on YT has the video in subs!

Their breakout song "Officially Missing You" sampled Tamia's song of the same name. I was too busy fangirling other idol at the time but it's my current jam now. I prefer this version than with Soyu.. it just sound a little bit more fun. I think?

As for "How Are you?" I saw their performance and loved it. The song is cheeky and fun. I love the whole vibe of the song and the lyrics are so current. The last part is spot on! The boys voice tone is a little high and it made the song so much brighter.

Although I do like Wash Away, it wasn't my favorite because I like seeing the happier side of Geeks rather this mellow side. It's no bad just, they looked better playing around the stage than being serious. Normally I prefer songs like "Wash Away" but Geeks is an exception.

They're currently in WA Entertainment which is cool! Because it's Phantom label too! I am slightly blur about it but yeah.. Phantom is in WA Entertainment beside Brand New Music.

Jealous of Eat Your Kimchi

I wish I could stay in Korea and do the things they do. Their fans are crazy, they give gifts like they're Kpop Idols and get super welcome at the airport. Wow. I am so jealous! I wish I could ask for donation for my own studio, and buy a photobooth so I can play with it all the time. I wish I could interview all those Korean Celebrities.

I would definitely troll my fans by creating a Kpop Chart and not choose the no.1 sometimes because I can. I can criticize English usage in Kpop MV while still use spellcheck on my blog so I won't call the fans "guise". I'd skipped call idols in different name though because I respect B1A4 and Beast.

Maybe I won't call my shows in random acronym because it's plain silly. I'm not an English Teacher but Wonderful Adventure Now Korea, Food Adventure Program For Awesome People and Open The Happy doesn't sound right.

Simon and Martina, if you read this.. You both are such lucky people. I'm jealous of your achievements. I hope that if you decide to move to Japan or open a Cafe, you don't ask for donation anymore. Maybe get a loan from the bank or ask for potential investors. I know it's not my money but hey, let's not be too greedy. Just a friendly advice.

If you're still wondering why fans are pissed off when you decided to choose one of the Top 3 instead of the usual No.1 video, Kpop fans are dedicated people. Kpop fans would do everything so their idols can win on the charts. Imagine how they feel when they did so much hardwork so you will review it and then you decided not to review because you don't like it. It is an offence to their hardwork. Let me say this, your viewers gave you this comfortable life. They have the right to say anything.

I'm hating EXO Wolf

Title is mostly based on the song, this not anti site.



I have mixed feelings about Wolf I can't finish the MV but the Mnet Countdown performance was bearable. Minus the noise, I enjoyed the performance. I think the parts are evenly divided. Maybe it wasn't but I didn't go "where's xx" at all. SM really nailed that part. Some other group have less members and it was so obvious that their parts were not evenly distributed.

I think I've read reviews on the snippet since last year... Apparently there are fans leaking it, which angers the producers. I figured maybe SM is trolling with us. There's no way it's going to be about wolf...right? So months past, and uptil yesterday I was still hopeful that this just some epilogue or teaser stuff. Obviously I'm wrong. The song gave me an impression that SM is testing waters with us. It is definitely a SM thing to do. They always seem to experiment with stuff.. I wish they did the same with Super Junior. Everything lately sounds bits and pieces of Sorry Sorry.

I tried to finish the song but every time someone howls, I automatically stop the player. I've done this to other songs a lot of times before but never this bad. I want to so badly to like the song but that howl has got to go! Sorry, I can't properly review it.

The choreography is probably my favorite this year. It was super powerful and I like it highlight each members. There's more people on stage but it wasn't messy. I'm just glad it's all 12 on stage not like Mama.

The biggest mistake was Kai's hair. DON'T MESS with THE FACE's hair! Come on, he has like the most teaser last year, and you mess with his hair? Not cool, not cool! I didn't like Sehun hair either. He doesn't look like the guy who would volunteer to have that kind of hair.. Maybe Chanyeol would be better to do that. Speaking of which, that guy look different again. Took me double take to recognise him.

Stop making reaction video!

I tried watching those video hoping it will be funny like eatyourkimchi or finebros' react video series but no, it's literally just watching people watching video. Vlog is the way to go, or like me blog about it!

I can't find Kpop videos without having reaction video on the result. At first, I thought cool, non Asian likes to watch Kpop...but I already know that from Allkpop, which I believe had lots of Non Asian fans judging from the comments.

Speaking of reaction, I can SLAKPF (speak like a Kpop fan) on it. If you watch Korean variety shows, you would know that reaction is a big part of talk show. That's why there's numbers of guest to make the show lively. For example Star King has a lot of "judges", the guest spot is often a challenge for comedians, idols or actor because everyone wants to take part. Only guest with talent or great reaction will be allowed to be guest. Which actually a part of the show I don't like.. It put less spotlight on the actual contestant.

Another thing why reaction is so important in variety show is the PD (Program Director) often like to pick exaggerated reaction on film because it looked better for the show. Guest always overact so they got better screen time. If your favorite guest didn't show up on screen, his/her reaction was weak. Korean shows love reaction a lot so much you will see them in slow mo, added effects like "!!!" or "대박" or "OMG" across the screen. More often you can see them repeatedly in different shots.

To all the "reactors", it's better to just do a Vlog, commenting on what you thought of the video. You can take eatyourkimchi as a guide but don't blantly copy everything! If editing video isn't your thing, do commentary as you watch.

Hyeri and Tony Ahn

I don't know what to feel.

Girl groups aren't my thing, but lately Girls' Day caught my attention because I think Hyeri is gorgeous in Don't Forget Me and Yura was my fave in Expectation. H.O.T wasn't a group I know well since they disbanded before I was a Kpop fan. I have seen Tony on variety show and old clips but that's it.

I dislike the idea of big age gap relationship but who am I to say anything... I just find them weird. Let see how long this relationship last but I rather them not being together for long.. It's just not good image for her.

IMPACT TO DEBUT!!!

Yes the horror of caps lock, but that's how I FEEL!

I didn't want to blog yet because no date was released yet but I was angry at the top comments on Allkpop for not leaving nice words. Sure, there were some people commenting on Byun Jang Moon, whom is my favorite already but I have to blog because I'm so excited.

Impact is a male vocal group from Star Empire (Jewerly, ZE:A, Nine Muses) with members Van, Sungho, Junghu, Jangmoon, and Pilrib. For now, I'm just going to talk about Byun Jang Moon, because I only know him. He is the former member of A'ST1 whom I really really love. His voice is easily on my top 3! It's not only me, but go to any A'ST1 old videos, you are bound to see people talking about his voice. The tone of his voice is unique, there's something about it that make me go crazy. He is the reason I love A'ST1. I was completely devastated when they disbanded. Miss you so much Sung In Kyu oppa, RIP.

There's no one else I wanted to redebut more than him, so when I got the news back in 2011 about him redebuting, I was excited but this Star Empire only debut him now, well about time!

That said, I understand the fan who were against Star Empire to debut this group. I clearly remember how DSP debuted Rainbow and neglect A'ST1... They had so much potential to be great but no, girl groups was more popular that time hence Rainbow got more attention. However, this is vocal group! I really hope it stay that. Byun Jang Moon can dance but no, don't ruin my chance of hearing more ballads from him. I would be very sad if his part is short.

On the bright side, if Impact daebak, it will naturally benefit ZE:A, Jewelry and Nine Muses. IT MUST BE GREAT, PLEASE!

Psy is not a Gentleman

Well, it is true looking at the video..lol

In short, I don't love it. The music isn't something I would voluntarily play and the video was not funny..my humor is weird so there's that. For me the whole thing felt like recycle. I always like familiar things but Psy Gentleman felt like a bag of ideas that I already know.

I would have stop watching at the part where Psy unties the bikini string, because that's borderline offensive for me. I only manage to finish up to end without seeing behind the scene footage. BTS stuffs are something I avoid..I rarely watch bloopers.

After a while, the video reminded me of Nice Guy video by NigaHiga, KevJumba and Chester See. That was good. Maybe I get their humor more than Psy version. Psy was being rude in a way I can't laugh about. It's like laughing at someone falls down, which is mean.

I know why GaIn was selected as a cameo but I wish she didn't. It reminded me too much of Abracadabra (I know that's the point) that I can't help but to compare it. Why not go all out by inviting all of BEG members? Why only GaIn?? Is it necessary to include all Infinity Challenge members? I don't watch the show so I can't relate. Haha and Jae Suk was good but still meeeh, seen it.

For me, I think it could have been done better. I think Psy had all of these ideas that he wanted use and I would say to drop some ideas. Mostly stuff that reminds us of Gangnam Style.

Random update

Because I can.

At this point I am so not sure if i could board the plane or not. There's new obstacle everyday. The trip suppose to happen in a month.

I wish I could blog comfortably but it's so hard because Kpop just give me reminder about this whole trip which makes me headache. Expedia, you ruined my life.

Anyway, since I'm already writing.. Let me do a quick review on stuff. I didn't quite like Phantom's "Come as you are" despite the featuring with Verbal Jint. It's just not my style of music with all that jazzy feel because I hate jazz music. It's difficult to explain because to be honest I describe song I don't like as "jazzy".

As if I need any more reminder, Korea is now in the spring season.. Kpop is filled with many spring theme songs. Busker Busker is sure big this time round, wow. 2AM ballad is fine, not really catchy but good. K.Will's Love Bloosom is not my favorite of his. I really like him singing more sad song because his voice has this great sad quality. Infinite Man in Love isn't exactly "spring" but the feel is definitely spring like. I like the song but it doesn't stuck in my head for some reason. I keep on forgeting the beats....

I'm actually worried about the N.Korea threat. I do know it's common for them to give threats every now and then. However it feels different this time, not because I'm actually probably going to S.Korea but Gaesong closing and their warning for foreigners to evacuate makes me feel anxious. With Chinese tourist no longer entering N.Korea, the income of N.Korea is becoming lesser each day. Not having money can make people go crazy and I'm afraid it will get crazy.

I hope N.Korea can reconsider their decision, not fighting with their neighbours but to come together to share.

I'm loving Nu'est Yobeoseyo 요버세요

The title is in Korean because they have a different song with the title Hello. Yup, way to confuse the international fans. A little info, you greet someone in person with Ahnyeonghaseyo 안녕하세요, but on the phone, you say Yobeoseyo.

The members are quite young, apart from Ren, I didn't find any factor that makes me want to learn more about them because I don't have much space in my brain for all the kpop idols. I still at least try to listen once of their song. Yeah, finally a song I like!

I'm more of a dance ballad fan than faster song so this fits right for me. The thing that caught my attention was the choreography, it was different that usual with all the props and more interaction with background dancer. Haha, to be honest..all I wonder was how they were going to Random Play Dance to this song. It's a popular segmen on MBC Weekly idol where idols have to dance on spot to song that are randomly play in different parts.

I don't know the members name yet but their vocal were good in the song, I was attracted to the first guy who sing. His voice totally capture my attention. I guess he shines better in slower song because I hardly notice him before. I'll check other past video to be sure.

Whether you like ballads or not, do give the performance video a try.. The choreography is fun to watch. I would skip the MV.. It didn't do much for me.

SLAKPF : Idol

Let see how this goes, I've been a Kpop fan since 2006 and technically I am a sunbae (senior) in Kpop fandom. I like to share my Kpop knowledge to many rookies out there. This post is Speak Like A KPop Fan! You don't need to be fluent in Korean to sound like a Kpop fan, you just need to know the meaning and you're good to go!

For this first post, the first topic is IDOL. It's no brainer really, without idol.. Kpop wouldn't be the thing you know today. Idols are so common today, more than 80% (totally made that up) of the singers on today kpop music program is saturated with idols.

The word "idol" is an English word, and yes it does mean like what you read in the dictionary back in the days when idols are first introduced in Kpop scene. My generation probably cite H.O.T., g.o.d., Sech Kies and many more in the late 90's group as idols. Older generation would probably refer SoBangCha (Fire Truck) and "Seo Taiji and Boys" as originator. I didn't experience both since I only a Kpop fan in the late 00's but from what I have learn, it was mad crazy.

I could go on and list all the craziness of fans do back then but this post will be long. To give you a picture, have you seen Michael Jackson concert videos? That is tame compare to Kpop idols concert. Belieber fandom are pretty crazy too, but Kpop idols are crazier times 100. Koreans are extremely passionated people. While no one get assasinated, there were incident of almost poisoning.Basically, idols are literally idol.

Today that meaning change. Idol of today is define as a group of either female, male or co-ed singers. The numbers of members are varied typically from 4 to infinity, current largest membered group is A-Peace, a whopping 21 member. Lately trio groups are considered idols but not common.

Although the term idols is not really what it originally meant today, some bigger fandom do experience a high level of craziness. Sasaeng fans are individuals or sometimes group of crazy fans that would stalk, harass and a whole lot of dangerous thing towards their favorite group. DBSK had the worst Sasaeng fan experience. The sasaeng are known to follow every move of their idols, to the point of chasing cars, trepassing their house and hack their personal info.

Top 10 Idols you must know (rank by seniority)
1. Dong Bang Shin Ki
2. Super Junior
3. Big Bang
4. Wonder Girls
5. So Nyeo Shi Dae
6. Kara
7. SHINee
8. 2PM
9. Beast
10. Infinite

Daniel, Marijuana? That's Nonsense!

Did you see what I did there???? DMTN! ㅋㅋㅋ

Ahem, excuse me. I was trying to sound like myself...instead of boring reporting.

This is written based on one article, so this is my first reaction. I totally did not see this coming. I had to rub my eyes and read twice when I first saw the news on allkpop. I scan through the comments, clearly no one has yet to claim they knew/suspected it. I can't wait for netizenbuzz to post the Korean netizen reaction next. I've been refreshing 10 times already.

I'm not the biggest DMTN fan, but I support them because they were from MC Mong agency. I was upset they left the company but understood the decision. Hemmm..by the way, If DMTN can, why not Block B? That's for another post. I am especially supportive of Daniel, because he is Yoseobie friend. WHYYY DO THIS TO ME?!

I've seen him trying hard to audition, saw clips of him on Strong Heart, Oh My School and Qualification of Men. The point is, I know DMTN members are working hard for every opportunity. I wanted them to succeed somehow because hardwork should pay off.

Imagine how I feel upon reading this news..this is completely at the wrong timing. Am I hoping this will be fake? Sure..but the damage is partly done. The company already stated that the matter is complicated than it is seen.. No denial. That's all I need to know.

I guess it's shocking because Daniel seems to have that good boy image. I can't even imagine him smoking to be honest. Yeah, news flash..I'm so naive. He is reported to sell too, there goes my everything. I am starting to feel sorry for those Kpop idols, but this time I can't defend him.

I just hope everything will be alright for the rest of the members. Daniel, I am disappointed.

UPDATE: according to netizenbuzz, reps denied smoking but admited to selling..well okay then, that's like worst. Huhu
