I believe DSP has now partnered up with Loen for future releases distribution. It began with Rainbow's Sunshine release this year. I think their contract probably ended with CJE&M after Rainbow's Tell Me Tell Me release.

Just a quick tidbit guys, if you're interested Hara's male lead is starring in KBS's Good Doctor as one of the prominent characters if you want to check him out. He was on Happy Together and they talked about his kissing scene with Hara.

So a poll will go up for the selection of the top five in each category and then the final winner of each category will be chosen from those five? I don't understand the selections though, is it base on groups that have made advancements or attempts at advancements in to Japan only or do they actually mean Hallyu as in other parts of the world other than Japan, because if that's what they meant then I would understand their selections. Because if it only pertains to Japan than I don't think Sistar, Davichi, Dalshabet, A Pink, B.A.P, Nu'Est, Teen Top have really done anything in Japan other than perform during those K-Pop concerts.

For a "Queen" concept, Nicole is the only one that's truly wearing a crown... hahaha... Maybe I'm just reading too much in to these pictures but this is what I take from each one. Princess picture: her pose is closed off, scared, innocent, guarded. But her eyes are seducing you, as if to say "I might be innocent, but only in appearance." Queen picture: her pose is full of poise, regal, arrogance, power, almost saying "bow down to me. I know I'm better than you." But the expression in her face speaks of someone who is still innocent, you can see it in her eyes, there's still a naivety in her. Such conflicts in both pictures as if two sides are fighting each other to be prominent... hahaha... But this is just me over analyzing.

I was just thinking about how to help the girls this time around and here it is. Let's do it guys, let's give them a clean sweep of all the shows. Let's get them a few more triple crown to add to their list. Though competition might be stiff but we can do it. I'm quite surprise that digital took up so much percentage for Music Bank, I would've thought physical would be more of their route. Guess not.

Once again another surprise "attack" by DSP with this sudden release of the teaser image. Regarding the sudden onslaught of releases from them in Japan and Korea basically simultaneously, remember they are touring in October, the more releases, the more new material, more and better performances we get. New and fresh music to perform and enjoy to. It might seem like a lot for us and especially the girls, but I think they want it so they can put on a new and fresh concert for the fans. It's all worth it in the end.

"2. [+410, -96] Hara-ya, wake up. You're an idol. And one that was at the top of the trend at that. Until when are you going to be shackled down by your men problems? Tsk tsk, not even one or two times but three times already... I gave up as your fan a long time ago because of the stress but why pass the stress on to your remaining fans now? Look at reality... While all your rival idols are now in leading drama roles and doing well, your two year relationship did nothing but lose all of your fans. KARA's popularity isn't what it used to be as well... For someone who suffered to get to where you are now, why can't you manage yourself better? I really don't understand what you're thinking sometimes..." Excuse me???!!! Who are you to "lecture" on someone's life when you should be worrying about your own! And the fact that you seem to have let her life, someone you don't personally know, affect your's then it means you have some serious personal issues you need to deal with first. People these days.

Honestly, that was one fo the things I was afraid of when they announced her break-up. The moment she is spotted with a male celebrity outside of work, rumours will ensue. The defense will be up. I say let her do what she wants to do, she's old enough to make her own choices. I completely understand her now whenever she says that she would choose herself/friends over a relationship. True or not, I'm not mad at her for living her life. Nor should anyone else be. As fans, we don't own her or her life. The best we can do is show her support. Side note, I hope it's not true because honestly, I personally think she's too good looking for him. He doesn't fit the standard that I would want for her... hahaha... This coming for a JunHara supporter... hahaha... I'm so bipolar... hahaha...

Actually Hara and SeungYeon did a few commercials for Snickers, but yeah, I was surprise they didn't ask Nicole to do it as well.

I don't know but I feel like Nicole got the gag prize... hahaha... If you know what I mean. The other members got handsome good looking male leads and she ends up with KwangSoo... hahaha... But as of right now he seems to be the most "well-known", so I guess that makes up for it.

Nicole is an American-Korean coming back to her home country of Seoul, Korea after years of being abroad to rediscover herself and finds romance along the way. That's her storyline right there. The twist? Those two kids are her long lost children she had to abandon before leaving Seoul for America... hahaha...

Is she the mother from Jang Ok-Jung: Live In Love?

From the pictures that I'm seeing from instagram, it seems like JiYoung's storyline could possibly be about an ill patient and her recovery process (or not) and meeting a handsome older doctor in the process... Hm... Her latest picture has her looking quite sickly and she's wearing what seems to look like hospital pajamas. I'm just taking a wild guess.

Thank You, Summer Love PV filming?

Loving the individual shots for the cover. I don't know what it is, but it makes me reference Brown Eyed Girls' A Midsummer Night's Dream video, the individual shots makes me envision that type of MV for the song. Nicole is definitely odd one out for me... hahaha... The blonde really makes her stand out to me, but in a good way. Loving the innocence of JiYoung's; seriously, no matter how much she's grown in front of our eyes, there's always that innocence about her that can never escape. GyuRi's is basically her bare-faced selfies... hahaha... Undeniably strong and elegant. Hara is just an undeniable beauty shot. SeungYeon's reminds me of Kim Tae Hee a bit, maybe because I think Kim Tae Hee actually has a photo similar to how SeungYeon took her's... hahaha... And it's quite coincidental that they're co-star in the same drama right now. From the feel of the photos only, I would like this to be something more of a mid-tempo, ballad, lounge-like type of song. Something when you're sitting on your porch, sipping a cup of coffee during the summer days or nights and just reminiscing about the days gone by; thinking about that summer love that happened oh-so long ago that went but was never forgotten.

I loved her look on the red carpet. I know some are disliking it but I thought everything complimented her so well. The hair, the dress, the way it was styled together, it suited her beautifully. And the "tattoo" of her name on her collarbone was also a bonus. I honestly think that this is one of the best times she's ever looked.

I must be really spoiled by having watched Dong Yi first because I can't seem the grasp these new characteristics of Suk Bin or any of the characters in this drama as a whole... hahaha... It's a shame though, the series could've been better and the other characters wouldn't have received so much hate if the writers and producers would have integrated the characters more, maybe even introducing them earlier in to the series. But yes, SeungYeon is actually doing a really good job with her character. If her character is meant to be hated then she's doing her job right since everyone seems to be up and armed about her appearance. Side note, was that SeungYeon I heard for the ending song of the most recent episode? Episode 22? If it is, I want to hear the full song. Now! Her vocals were outstanding.

Is it haraing or hara_xoxo because the first one has like pictures of Beast and BtoB and only 100 something followers while the second one has like over 11000 followers and has the two most recent pictures of her.

I do believe Nicole should have more credits than just Lost. If I remember correctly she did write majority if her raps, especially during Kara4 days. But she was never fully credited for it. Which sucks because of all the royalties she could be making off of it now.

Cheat days are allowed... hahaha... More than once.

Key in the front, Hoya in the red cap, SungJong is the one Nicole is leaning on, and SungYeol with the mask. Aside from Key, they're all from Infinite.

I do believe orginally Nicole had two set of 91' friends. It originally started off with her, Key, JinWoon, DongWoo, JaeJin, and Mir. Nicole and the boys. That was when people started noticing the group and when they themselves started acknowledging it. Nicole's other set of 91' friends were the girls that started off with SeoHyun and Hara, and then Nana came in to the picture. But I have yet to see Nana interact with SeoHyun and Hara, or any other 91' members yet. Nicole and Min were/are close from way before debut as well so it was an obvious she is part of the group from the start. SoYu is close with SeoHyun so you can say that she's part of the female side of Nicole's 91' groups. But I think these days it has been blended together. I guess with Key's recruit of WooHyun and I guess WooHyun bringing in SungYeol and Hoya. Seriously, I want to see a special stage with these kids.

When I also KwangSoo I thought of GyuRi, but I guess not. They were quite adorable during Running Man. I actually just finished watching Dong Yi in which Bae SooBin starred in, he's quite good; passionate. I see him with SeungYeon. If they are paired together, I see SeungYeon's chapter as the chapter about loving a man twice her age or something, something about age doesn't matter when it comes to love. That or about being a mistress and being in love with a married man... hahaha... I hope neither SooBin or KwangSoo is for Nicole. But I wouldn't be surprise if KwangSoo ends up being Nicole's partner... hahaha... But I do see JiYoung matching him more. At least as of right now all their partners are older than them, that's a good thing. I'm just not a fan of the noona/dongseang or older woman/younger man concept.

All the girls seems to be saying summer but things have never worked out the way we would hoped or even from what the girls have said, especially where their comeback is concern. And summer can mean July, August, or even September. If anything, I foresee it being another end of August, beginning of September type of situation. Like someone else has mentioned, DSP still has Rainbow, A-Jax, and possibly Puretty to worry about. As of right now, Rainbow is confirmed to be coming back in June with Part 2. And if rumours are true about A-Jax having a comeback then I would assume that it would be after Rainbow's. But if DSP does decide to follow through with a summer comeback for the girls and still try to fit A-Jax in then we can probably expect overlapping promotional cycles. As Rainbow winds down, A-Jax can make their comeback end of July or mid-July and Kara can make their summer comeback mid-August. Puretty will be pushed back again either till the end of the year or even next year. It would be smart of DSP to give Rainbow another comeback before the year ends, and they can debut Puretty during the holiday season with something fun and cutesy, and that will lead them in to the new year as well. Honestly, as of right now, DSP's main concentration should be Kara and Rainbow, putting them at the forefront. They can easily have A-Jax and Puretty come back and debut during the two's promotional cycle, it's not going to take away from anything. If anything it might increase DSP's fanbase to show some family comradery. It would want to see overlapping if not same promotional cycles between family. But that's just me. DSP has gotten better but they still need to get their ish together, seriously! Didn't they hire that new head honcho for a reason?!

I was laughing when Bani started to whistle Pretty Girls... hahaha... Honestly, I find this series quite cheesy and cliched but I'm still enjoying see actress GyuRi.
