^ I've noticed a lot of Korean special live footage is focused on showing the audience, I think it's part of the Hallyu thing where showing that people are enjoying the product is almost more important than the product itself. Especially if the audience is foreign. Kinda sucks and is the reason why I don't really bother watching other than music show lives, since those focus on advertising the group and song.

Ahh. I would say it makes sense but it really doesn't  :smhid  Watching other people being entertained isn't... entertaining. But it makes for one hell of a b-roll for videos later on down the line I guess.
Guess I've grown too accustomed to the weekly music shows and such. What a shame.

It's not that we're meant to be entertained by watching other being entertained, it's about seeing how entertaining kpop is to others in order to attract new money. In any case, that's the point I believe Shirenu is making.

No I get his point, but I'm just saying I clicked the video with the intent to be entertained. Basically I came for pleasure and got business instead. Leaves me with a salty feeling knowing I got robbed from a potential 10 minutes of shuffling haha. :catglare:

Well, that QBS mv was the most basic thing I've seen in a good while. Rage built steadily, boredom reached critical levels. Why, Japan, why?

They should just go all out Kyary Pamyu Pamyu style or something.

I always take mental note of when I've had enough of something.. I made it to 2:50 and then I was basically forcing myself to finish it at that point.

I sorta skimmed it seeing if there was anything worth GIFing...but the quality is atrocious, so I'm not sure about that plan. Really it was incredibly bland, but the song was rather bland to begin with, so...I mean it's no secret I don't typically dig the Japan-only kpop tracks, with reason, as they're usually poverty as hell and totally budget, and this here is no different. Looks more like a "LOOK, GUYS, sure we picked our 3 favorites for the N4 stuff, but like, please shut the hell up about us not liking the other 3...look, we gave them a song! Are we cool now? Are we?".

FYI, we are still not cool, because I don't like what you let Soyeon do to her nose! Hopefully it'll either grow on me or it's just some temporary nose thing she had going on and it'll go back to normal. In fact, it only really looked especially strange to me in this video and other earlier things, so...there's that. She's still perfect anyway, eh.

Unless her name is really Pinocchio I doubt her nose is gonna grow on you.

I thought Soyeon just lost some weight and it showed in her face. Assuming she DID get some work done, aside from the possible underlying psychological and societal implications of getting cosmetic surgery, I don't mind when a kpop idol gets work done. Their freedom to do as they see fit is more important than my opinion about whether they look better before or after or whatever.

Just please... please don't get to Park Bom status. ::shudders::

Hah glad I'm not the only one that noticed Soyeon looked different. At first I thought the opposite of forthisgift, I thought she gained weight. Her cheeks looked chubbier than usual, then I noticed her nose. It just looks weird.

Soyeon can't gain weight. She's already at maximum capacity.

Getting tired of saying this every single time, but it sounds very "Japanese"...duh...lol. It's not bad, though, but I guess it's just not my "cup of tea"...I'm never quite sure what they do when they promote in Japan. If people like them in Japan, do they really want them there to do Japanese sounding songs, or do they want them to do what they usually do? I would liken it to them trying to promote in the US and coming out with something that's very "American". Most people hate it, it comes off strange and forced. I wonder if that's what it's like over there?

Speak of the devil, though: http://instagram.com/p/bCJ6a6n5i6/#
