1. [+3,994, -86] Great, great!!! Definitely looking forward to future talks!
2. [+3,750, -103] I really like the Australian guy. He was fun on the previous episode.
3. [+2,991, -187] Awww, I wanted Mark to be a fixed cast... Maybe he's too busy because he's a CEO??
4. [+1,967, -51] Wow, looking forward to it~~~ ^^
5. [+1,862, -56] Seems like an okay line-up, will be watching! ^^
6. [+819, -27] Having Russia and Nepal feels like the cast has more variety now. Before, it felt too biased towards European/English speaking countries.
7. [+787, -18] The Nepalese man is so good at Korean. His pronunciation is obviously foreign but the way he constructs his sentences basically sounds like a Korean person.
8. [+683, -21] I'm really glad about the Nepal addition because I don't know much about Nepal but now I can learn.
9. [+629, -17] Oh, good good.. Hearing stories about Nepal really helped me learn a lot. It helps so much considering Nepal isn't that known compared to the other countries.
10. [+481, -17] Really looking forward to the Nepal addition!

theemii.livejournal.comPann: Comparison of the top 3 agencies when debuting rookies ㅋㅋㅋ
SM: Releases teasers randomly because they have a name value that people will trust and be interested in immediately upon debut (like Red Velvet) without getting to know the members first. This backfires because SHINee, Soshi, and SuJu also had random debuts and got tons of hate for it, like SHINee being called a knock off TVXQ, Super Junior being a trainee dumpster group, Soshi being a trainee dumpster group on top of a knock off Super Junior, etc...
JYP: Has quiet debuts and the success of the debut is determined by the song quality. The songs usually receive more attention than the actual artists. 2PM, Got7, 2AM had quiet debuts compared to being from a bigger agency. miss A also debuted quietly but news of their song being good spread out until they hit #1 on the annual chart and even won a daesang.
YG: The loudest most attention seeking debuts of them all. 2NE1 was media played as the female Big Bang and iKON went through all those documentaries. All of their rookies are stuck in release works with seniors and they always get special shows dedicated to them. They get results but sometimes you wonder if they would've been as successful as they were if they had quiet debuts like JYP.
1. [+94, -13] YG really does seem attention seeking. Not only their debuts but with their 'Who Is Next' teasers ㅋㅋㅋ And they always have those pre-debut survivals and talk constantly about who's being eliminated next.. ㅋㅋ
2. [+74, -11] I'm an Inner Circle but I agree with the YG bit. YG has a strict policy of creating a fanbase before their rookies debut and I sometimes wonder if Winner could've hit #1 as fast as they did without this formula. Fortunately, it did help in getting their talents known compared to other idols since there are tons of idol groups with talented members that never get that kind of attention.
3. [+56, -83] I think they're all true minus SM. Red Velvet had some amount of media play before their debut but barely anyone knows them now that they've debuted ㅋ
4. [+44, -0] Come to think about it, none of the female idols from the top three agencies show excessive amounts of skin.
5. [+41, -3] What pisses me off the most about YG is that they try so hard to pass down fandoms from seniors to rookies by sticking their rookies all over the senior works.
6. [+31, -0] Sounds more like JYP being stupid and YG being smart;;; Of course you should do anything for your rookies to get them popular, what's the point of a quiet debut. Attention seeking? ㅋㅋㅋ More like Yang Hyun Suk gets the job done. What kind of agency just puts their rookies out quietly and expects them to do well ㅋ
7. [+27, -1] I really wish JYP would media play more. They take in two genius K-Pop Star winners and let their talents rot away.
8. [+25, -2] With SM, it doesn't matter if it's immediately or a year later, their groups are destined to be successful no matter what. SM invests in them without limit until they get popular ㅋㅋㅋ So I have no doubt that Red Velvet will be as popular as f(x) one day, even if it takes another year.
9. [+18, -1] As an EXO fan, I've noticed that SM has been sticking their rookies everywhere too. They had trainees on EXO's varieties taking up all the screentime and they also get to perform at SM concerts. They're obviously trying to get fandoms made for them before their debut.
10. [+16, -1] YG really does seem attention seeking if you think about it ㅋㅋㅋ

Oh God, if it's that one Thai rap that he used to do almost all the time...well, better to repeat himself than pulling a Iggy Azalea. (hurhurhur)
I don't get why BamBam is the only member getting mentioned by news articles when all the members of GOT7 except JB were there? Maybe BamBam stood out more?

Former MBLAQ member, Lee Joon, has been revealed to be dating a friend from school for 2 years now, just shortly after news broke that he had signed with entertainment company, Prain TBC.
According to entertainment insiders, Lee Joon has been dating his close friend since 2013. MBLAQ members knew of her existence but could not say anything detailed about his girlfriend since he was very careful when meeting her.
Recently, however, he has been showing up with his girlfriend in public settings when meeting close friends.
Earlier, Prain TPC revealed to media, “Lee Joon is an artist who has variety of endless potential. Prain TPC will try our best to let Lee Joon’s skill sets shine to his capabilities.”
Lee Joon made his debut in 2009 as member of the boy group MBLAQ. During the similar time of his debut as MBLAQ, he also made his acting debut by appearing in the Hollywood film “Ninja Assassin.”
Following his acting debut, he continuously pursued his acting career by appearing in Korean films and dramas which helped him prove that he was able to perform a variety of different roles. Last April, Lee Joon won the Rookie of the Year award as well as being nominated as the Best Supporting Actor in the annual Wildflower Film Awards which helped him secure a foothold in the acting industry.
