  1. Oh Nicole just checked her twitter, she is following someone new from hotchicks the dance group the girls work with.
  2. Nicole might have dual citizenship, it used to be when someone born to parents of Korean citizenship then they have dual until their 21... and then they have to renounce one of them. She most likely has a Korean permanent residence visa for being ethically Korean. Having an American passport makes it a lot easier for her to travel. There is no benefits for her to renounce her American citizenship for a Korean one. I think there is a new law signed where dual nationality is possible after 21.
  3. JUJU's singles don't do nearly as well as her albums. Their main competition is actually SDN48.
  4. Yeah I noticed her passport the first time they left for Japan after youknowwhat. Basically you can tell just from the color. But knowing she was born in the US it was unlikely that she would change citizenship. Plus when KARA went to get their visa for KMF, Nicole was with them.
  5. No I think the phone is new, that's an iphone 4g she's holding. Wasn't that picture on the bottom taken she she was randomly (and unofficially) endorsing blackberry.
  6. I am rather confident that KARA will come out on top if SDN48 is their main competition. KARA sold around 50k first week for Jumping, and their popularity has only grown drastically since then. Also Jumping sales was affected by their album.
  7. I would think that they would try to release it sooner to catch the hype surrounding them now. I hope they are planning this to try to get number one on Oricon. Interesting that umj will try to release so many of their Kpop stuff so close together. 100k first week?? Edit: I heard sdn48 amd morning mus is releasing a new single the same week. Really hope that Kara can get number one this week. Even if it is daily. I think they wont make number one weekly but daily seems almost for certain given their track record. But after everything they have done in japan I won't say anything is impossible.
  8. Latest Mixi numbers (from KARA Baidu): 2/3 Hara 21,037 Nicole 11,784 Jiyoung 11,769 Seungyeon 10,046 Gyuri 6,334 1/29 64,552 KARA
  9. SK: SY > Hara >> Nicole > Gyuri/Jing Japan: Hara >> Nicole/Jing > SY >> Gyuri International: Nicole > Hara > SY/Jing > Gyuri Overall? Hara then Nicole then SY
  10. Well I don't think KARA's exposure in Japan is any issue anymore. If this whole fiasco had a positive impact in Japan it would be that anyone who didn't know who KARA is knows now. The news coverage was tremendous. Most of the battle is with the general population. KARA does really well with getting their name out to the general population. Honestly I thought KARA might have been a little overexposed in Japan in the first place for rookies.
  11. There wasn't a whole lot of Nicole, but the episode is pretty enjoyable. Yeah that grandpa (the one that was with his wife for a really long time last episode) remembered Nicole's name and she was really happy about that. IU hugged Nicole pretty tightly from the back at one point, it was really cute. They even sang and danced karaoke together (you only see brief moments of what they did at night). Nicole tried to get some of the older people to dance with her, eventually a few did. I don't know exactly if Nicole on Heroes is worth it (since she misses a lot of group varieties), but for Nicole it seems like she is in the same situation. Nicole usually hangs in the background letting other people speak. I guess I like seeing Nicole interact with her members more. But I also like seeing Nicole in different situations and with other people. I like Heroes quite a lot, I hope she enjoys her time filming Heroes. It's a great group of people.
  12. 307k was the highest TVXQ sold for a regular original album. Their best of albums sold 500k+ but not for a regular album. I am sure that if they got back together this second and released a new album, they would outsell 307k - since that figure is for a 2009 album. I don't think that anyone would deny that their breakup helped sales a lot.
  13. There were a lot of shot of Nicole in this episode. She helped IU when she fell in her bunny suit and squished her face, that was cute. Older Koreans had trouble with her name, lol. They sent her to get a replacement fluorescent light tube, which she had trouble finding. And Nicole got distracted by food ofc... haha it was pretty funny.
  14. I could be wrong but I heard that KARA, T-ARA, and BEG use the same dance team, which could explain the similarities. But I think they are pretty common dance moves.
  15. There seems to be a missing part (before Hara's dessert game) I hope someone uploads it!
  16. Well the MV is included in the single, maybe they want the MV really badly on DVD.
  17. Add that on with KR Lupin and Jumping sales, and other Kara releases... they have sold around HALF A MILLION COPIES THIS YEAR.
  18. Hyori took out her drinking. At the very least a very very close mentor. Hyori is just awesome like that.
  19. Afterschool's Bekah, she's from Hawaii. They were spotted together at the movies a while back.
  20. Rice porridge is called Congee in English (at least the Asain variety is). Juk is the pronunciation in Cantonese but Mandarin it's like Chou/Zhou.
  21. platinium in japan is 250k, diamond is 1 million but no award is actually given tho.
  22. I thought the whole z-ski vs. jetski was hilarious. Nicole was like it "...jetski" is flawless english.
  23. yeah i am now thinking about that other fortune teller from mnet radio.... she said nicole will have a good year.
  24. I think it's more nostalgia, it came out 10 years ago (well me too )... so she grew up with that pop era. Brings me back too!
