I really like her channel, so I thought I'd share it. Some of it is not really new knowledge for those who have previously been interested in the Korean beauty scene, but it's a nice video nontheless. Also relevant since she gushes about Moonshot, YG's make-up brand.
Let's turn this into a (Korean) make-up post if you want. :)

Kahi leaves Pledis, no one is surprised

[aftertwelveam.livejournal.com]

Kahi, ex-member of After School, will be leaving her managing agency, Pledis Entertainment.

On January 19, she posted on Twitter, “It’s the sixth anniversary of After School, as well as the time for me to leave this managing agency.”

She showed her gratitude towards her agency by saying, “Thank you Pledis, for taking me in, even when I wasn’t ready, and helping my dreams come true. I will be working my hardest to become better, wherever I may be.”

A Pledis representative said, “It is true that our contract with Kahi has expired. Both sides decided to part since she has a field that she wants to focus on.”

Kahi made her debut as the leader of After School in 2009. After graduating from After School in June 2012, she came back as a solo artist with the studio album “Who Are You?” Afterwards, she has been exploring the musical fields by starring in acts such as “Bonnie and Clyde” and “All Shook Up.”

[Pann] Nichkhun supports 'Khuntoria'?

[theemii.livejournal.com]

Pann: Why is Khun being like this to Fany?

The Pann basically starts off by talking about how Khun is always being harassed on Twitter by delusional Taeny fans who send him hateful mentions, causing him to block them and upload ambiguous pictures that the the netizen thinks is directed towards them like "Keep talkin b*tch, cause I ain't listening."

The netizen also noticed that he replies to tweets about Khunfany like someone asking about a Khunfany selca to purposely turn off the Taeny fans.

However, fans noticed at 2PM's concert a 'hypocritical side' to Khun in that he performed in front of a group of Khuntoria fans, seating himself directly in front of them when there were other crowds showing support for 2PM as a whole or his personal fans with Khun lightsticks.









He even gave the Khuntoria crowd a thumbs up at the end of his performance, causing the delusions to run even more rampant with fans claiming it was a "joyous moment" for their ship and that Khun was still waiting for Victoria.

Pann ends with thinking that Tiffany must've been upset to have to see that and that it's hypocritical of Khun to shun Taeny shippers but support Khuntoria shippers just because they're his fans.

-

1. [+62, -3] The Khuntoria shippers... seriously give me goosebumps. They really supported Khuntoria at a 2PM concert? If they're Nichkhun fans, they should be holding Nichkhun lightsticks. That's so disrespectful to Nichkhun. Nichkhun wasn't any better though, he should've considered Tiffany's feelings more.

2. [+49, -2] Hul, I guess I wasn't the only one who felt weird after seeing that... I'm not defending Taeny shippers since that kind of delusional fan behavior should be kept a secret but Khun shouldn't have lashed out at them as strongly as he did. And I think he pissed Sones even more off by going towards the Khuntoria crowd like that ㅠ Khun, we know you love Tiffany but Tiffany's just as precious to us as she is to you ㅠ

3. [+45, -8] I swear, it's always the Chinese fans who still believe all of these delusional WGM ships even when they're dating someone else. How dare they terrorize a concert with their delusional ship? It's such a selfish thing. Nichkhun needs to wake up and stop feeding that.

4. [+25, -0] He's in a public relationship, how is it normal for him at all to stand in front of a Khuntoria crowd and feed their delusions even more? What does that make Tiffany? And Chinese delusionals are so crazy, this only made them crazier. Nichkhun was totally out of line.

5. [+21, -0] Poor Tiffany ㅠㅠ

6. [+19, -0] Crazy WGM delusionals still exist ㅎㅎㅎㅎ dumb b*tches

7. [+17, -0] Nichkhun has never lashed out at any Khuntoria fan because he knows he needs their Chinese money.

8. [+13, -0] Nichkhun's always been the type to be harshest on others while lenient on himself. He scolded Block B for their Thai scandal when he got into a drunk driving accident in Korea ㅋ And there are tons of shippers overseas, all of the idols ignore them but it's always Khun who lashes out at them like this.

9. [+10, -0] It might just be fan service to him but I want to ask Khun if he intends to accept those delusional shippers each time and smile for them all for that Chinese money. Why does Tiffany deserve this? Khuntoria probably pisses her enough as it is but now she has to watch her own boyfriend coddle them like this? If his Chinese promos are more important to him than Tiffany, he should let her go. Those same delusional shippers are the ones terrorizing his own girlfriend and threatening their love. He lashes out so easily to Tiffany's fans but not at his own.

10. [+9, -0] Sure the fans are crazy but Nichkhun's no better with how he's indirectly affecting Tiffany... Normally idols will acknowledge shippers within their own groups but never shippers like that...

11. [+9, -0] I don't know how anyone can defend Nichkhun. He had no reason to be sitting in front of Khuntoria fans like that. He had a crowd for personal fans but he chose to sit there, even though he has a girlfriend. He knows how delusional Chinese shippers can get and he still chose to sit there.

12. [+8, -0] Nichkhun-ah, Tiffany is just as precious to us as she is to you... Please ignore Taeny fans just like you let Khuntoria fans have their way...

Winner's Welcoming DVD Preview Spot

[mishiro-san.livejournal.com]

Note: Are you planning on purchasing it?  If so, from where?  Yesasia raised the price of this product to cost about $20 more and they change the shipment units.  Based on that, this dvd is almost as heavy as the Limited Edition CD.  I also wonder if it is true that the First Press Edition comes with "HANDWRITTEN" numbering from one of the members. I have no idea if they mean each member writes 1 to 10,000 or is it 10,000 total

Miss Saigon - Musical, MissSaigonOfficial

Full list of nominees here (whatsonstage is one of the biggest news/ticketing/review websites for the West End and these awards, while I can't vouch for their importance, are entirely down to public vote, so for someone who had basically no recognition overseas prior to coming here, this is a great end to his run in the show).
Miss Saigon are nominated in basically every category they can be, up with Memphis, so one hand, it's great to see people from lots of different countries nominated, on the other hand...it's Miss Saigon...
