The "3 minute rule" of music shows
2015-03-17 05:00 am
Article: Do you know the 'law of 3 minutes' on music shows?
Source: X Sports News via Naver
Article breaks down the 3 minute rule on music shows where singers are only given 3 minutes to show everything they have. The time is determined by the popularity/power of that artist. They use Amber as an example as someone who got over 3 minutes on all three public broadcast music shows while another mid-tier company girl group had to have their song cut to under 3 minutes despite being a senior group.
One insider said, "There is even a team that quit promoting altogether because they couldn't even get 3 minutes. The producers have to take into consideration what the audience wants to see and the viewer ratings so they asked the group to cut their song to under 2 minutes and they just quit promoting altogether. They basically lost in the power game."

smh at that producer's answers. Nothing jumped out at me as being particularly K-pop inspired except their "MaKe it Pop" branding (+ maybe that white kid is supposed to be Chad Future;) it pretty much just looks like a Nickelodeon version of Glee/High School Musical with Asian leads. Also I forgot how awful the acting on kids' shows is. The MV called this a "one-month event" so I guess it's sort of like a miniseries? Thoughts, Omona?

Just seven months after making their debut in August 2014, SM Entertainment‘s rookie girl group Red Velvet will soon will soon announce their official fanclub name.
According to a notice posted on March 17th titled “Red Velvet Official Fanclub – Supporters Recruitment Guide,” the official fanclub name for the group has been confirmed.
However, before announcing its name, the fanclub is currently looking and recruiting a formal team of local supporters for the rookie girl group to lead Red Velvet fans. Those interested can apply for the positions, which will be followed by a series of interviews, and will be open up until March 29th.
Following the official recruitment of the fanclub’s leaders, it can be assumed that it is only then Red Velvet’s official fanclub name will be revealed to the public.
Red Velvet recently released their first mini-album Ice Cream Cake, and will be promoting their double title track “Automatic” and “Ice Cream Cake.” New and fifth member Yeri will be making her official debut on the stage this week as well.

The legs are back (but lol they really need to improve that logo!)! I am so excited! The comeback is said to be sexy and powerful and a dance track that will showcase the girls strong colors. The girls look gorgeous, in special Fei, and the concepts seems very bright and fun (but I am lowkey disliking suzy's outfit). I can't believe that they will finally have a showcase! Also, I plan to post the Real miss A Episode as soon as JYPE releases it on youtube!

- Wooyoung deleted his IG two days after the final show of his Japanese showcase. He hasn't tweeted an explanation or anything in regards to why he deleted it. He is alive though -- he went to support BOYTOY with Super Changddai over the weekend. Jangppas are upset. OP surprisingly is okay with this. He needs to rest after the run he's had in the past few months.
- Chansung's been cast as the male lead of a film adaptation of the Japanese manga 'Wasureyuki'.
- Taec is busy gallivanting around Europe with visits to Turkey and Greece. Apparently, he forgot his razor and has since grown facial hair.

Excited for this, as I am about everything they do. 'Good Bye Again' sounds so good. I can't wait to hear the entire song. Glad that some of the boys are able to take time off and relax. They are looking good in the album teaser though. But seriously, Wooyoung needs to do something about that animal on his head. You may be my bias, but that hair is unacceptable.

Article: Didn't they make a lot, what's up with their outfits... EXID's cheap stage outfits under 'controversy'
Source: Herald Econ via Nate
1. [+421, -56] Worrying over nothing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+207, -125] EXID has talent to back everything up, they're not a girl group reliant on their outfits. Their singing, looks, and dancing are all up there. They didn't become a trend simply for wearing nice clothes.
3. [+159, -62] I think it looks fine~??
4. [+30, -14] Why does it feel like their company staff wrote the best replies. It's not simply about how it looks but when a shoe's sole is coming off like that, it creates safety issues. People just think they deserve better quality considering their popularity...
5. [+30, -4] Even if they're popular now, I doubt they're getting paid yet. AOA has had two hit tracks and they still aren't getting paid.
6. [+29, -5] The best replies are weird... since when did you guys go around wearing stockings with holes in them and shoes with the soles falling off? People are simply saying that they need new clothes... it has nothing to do with their talents.
7. [+25, -12] Are the best replies crazy? A shoe with the sole coming off like that means it's dangerous safety wise. What if they trip and fall?
8. [+17, -4] Can't believe those are the best replies. It clearly shows that their company is cutting corners with them when they're performing on stage in shoes with the soles coming off and stockings with holes.
9. [+12, -2] Yedang's not that great of a company, especially with all of the issues they had with Kim Kyung Ho and Guckkasten. I understand why Hani doesn't want to renew her contract with them.
10. [+10, -3] This has nothing to do with their talents, it's the fact that their company isn't investing anything in them. They're sending them out to perform in worn out clothes. Shoes like that are so dangerous and they have to dance in them... that's a problem and there's nothing wrong with people criticizing that.
11. [+9, -1] Just walking in shoes like that would make you trip, imagine having to dance on a stage with it... that's so dangerous.

Article: Hani's embarrassment? A hole in her shoe sole?
Source: The fact via Nate
1. [+51, -13] The majority of EXID's stage outfits are either ripped or worn out and all of their shoes have issues like that. Their company clearly isn't paying any attention.
2. [+29, -4] They got popular too fast that it seems their company can't keep up with checking on the details like this. And considering the industry, stars are used and paid later, with the pay sometimes even being delayed so the company probably isn't getting any actual money in yet.
3. [+27, -8] I doubt they're even being fed properly if their clothes are like this. Come on, they're a popular group now, give them some attention.
