I wish they stayed like this forever. In moments like this I remember why I used to be a CL fan. I changed my thoughts about this, I think it's a very good idea to make a MV like this... I'm used to look forward to their videos only for the styling but this time I can't wait to see the girls in action. I don't know, this gives me good vibes.
God, I love your icon.(I've been staring at it for so long when I saw one comment of yours in another omona discussion. I swear it has an hypnotic effect lol).
Thanks! Sure, it's So Young Kang :) Here is the entire shot http://mode.newslicious.net/2012/11/winter-song-so-young-kang-by-angelo.html if you are interested. Btw, couldn't help but go to your profile to check all your icons and I found your last fm, I added you shamelessly, hope its ok!
I'm not super familiar with ONTD, but I'm seconding peoples' thoughts: it's about the language, relevance to the majority of the user base, and the existence of a specialized mirror just for those industries. Am I correct in assuming that ONTD is mostly western-based, with special posts occasionally dedicated to outside markets?
If it's a global/Western-centric topic (the most recent post about blackface instances in kpop, which is most historically relevant and discussion-provoking to a US/EU bg), then it would make sense it would pass into ONTD. Same for stars that happen to be in Korea breaking into the U.S. market. However, the independent movements of idol artists has a dedicated place. EDIT: In regards to POC, I believe the writing between the lines is that they want POC that are either a) part of the western base they seem to be based on OR b) are breaking into that western base. (again, exception being those special posts)
I guess the key is to understand where ONTD is based (the west), and that Korean/Japanese idols are different from actors and musicians that operate outside of the idol industry. I think ONTD wants to distinguish in that way so they won't have that problem of massive amounts of posts about PVs etc.
(correct me if i'm wrong about anything! also, everything otherwise is pure speculation on my part :D)
ahh, very good point. I was operating under the assumption that there was a bit of bollywood/Indian presence as well, and that was the extent of ONTD's reach that way but like I said, very unfamiliar with the community. If it's as you say, it could be questionable. (I was also operating under the condition that the western countries do not exclusively mean white citizens/celebrities, but that goes without saying)
The OP has made their own ONTD_MENA now but it's frustrating to see other minorities not get accepted. Honestly, because of this, I feel like we're better looking at posts in their own respective communities than on ONTD. :/
lol didn't you notice what was said in the discussion?
ONTD's traffic is mainly comprised of people from the US, UK, Canada and we curb content that is relevant to our audience.
to which that user responded:
duly noted: just the interests of primarily white countries matter
Honestly, I'm not even gonna blame them for going up against him like that. They had a right to post there if posts like Kpop, Jpop & even Bollywood are accepted.
But oh well tho. I guess since it's become apparent that they won't be allowing Asian posts anymore so I guess that doesn't matter anymore.
Ugh I love them all so much ;aaaa; I hope the MV is kinda like this, or we at least get some cute BTS footage. I /hope/ the song is amazing, I just want it to be on IATB level of awesome.
