More discussions! And they're also asked if they will try and get into kpop after this.

The group name 4TEN is an abbreviation of 'Potential'. Hidden in the word is the meaning of being a surprise bomb full of ambition and aspirations in the midst of a fierce competition between the many up-and-coming groups.

Performing 'Up All Night'
On a recent episode of Yoo Hee Yeol's Beenzino appeared! He performed two broadcast-safe versions of his songs with Mayson the Soul--Dali, Van, Picasso and Up All Night. He also had a small interview as well.

It was fun! The episode should be up on the KBS Youtube channel with subs sometime soon--maybe next week? I'm not sure of the amount of time they take to upload things. Zino is having fun and his interview didn't seem awkward at all (he had shades on at first and then I think he got asked to take them off, lmao); he made everyone laugh. He came near the end of the episode and closed the show. I'll update again with the other performance and interview if I see subtitles for it. For now, enjoy Zino's TV-safe bop, lol.

Jeez, somebody stop her, before she kills someone with her beauty! x.x

A Pink has recently come under fire for due to their lightstick being almost identical to more senior group, Girls’ Generation.
Netizens began posting their disapproval of the new lightsticks when an image was posted of A Pink and Girls’ Generations lightsticks side by side.
Comments read, “So tired of A Pink copying Soshi…”, “I really don’t understand… They said they wouldn’t use it, why use it again? Just because A Pink has the word pink in it?” and more.

The whole cast is really adorable here, and flustered Choi Seunghyun talking about kissing both Shin Segyeong and Lee Honey( who I have a major crush on now).

As a resident of the rural American Midwest, I’ve logged some experience as one of thousands of people attending a festive gathering that puts culture on display. No, I’ve never been to ComicCon – but I have been to the state fair. I commented to my friend as we departed Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena after a hot, exhausting day at KCON 2014, that KCON bore a lot of resemblance to the state fair. “It’s only missing the animals,” I said (although, after hours spent in queues, I felt like I’d become part sheep). KCON presented attendees with the spectacle of a culture that many of us had only imagined rather than experienced firsthand. We could imitate dance moves and makeup routines, hear about K-pop blogging, and watch Korea’s super stars perform – live and in person! I attended KCON to find out: What does engagement with Korean popular culture look like, “live and in person”? And to what extent is that engagement meaningful? Here, I reflect on how KCON addressed those questions, from the mechanics of attendance to the bigger picture –and what KCON could do better in the future to build on the promise of the Korean Wave.
KCON, now in its third year, is organized by the television channel MNET America and its parent company, CJ E&M. The entire convention is held in downtown LA near the campus of the University of Southern California and the California Science Center, ensuring easy access by public transportation. This year’s convention was arranged entirely outdoors, around the perimeter of the stadium beneath tents; on the south side of the arena, a separate area had been designated as the “Market” and housed food trucks, merchandise vendors, sponsor booths (CJ, Viki, Asiana, Verizon, and more), and a small stage for daytime performances.

What would it look like for KCON to create a cross-cultural encounter that brings us closer to this kind of learning and transformation? Click on the source below to find out!
