Global Rockstar United - To The Moon

[broadway-bound3.livejournal.com]

GLOBAL ROCKSTAR UNITED (Ayeon from Korea's Bebop, Jhanniel from Argentina, Christian Rabb from Sweden, Syssi Mananga from Congo, Murray Yates from Canada, and Katie Thompson from New Zealand) gathered in Vienna, Austria on the 13th of August to create one music.

In one short week, these musicians overcame different languages and cultural backgrounds to compose a song, record, and shoot a music video. GLOBAL ROCKSTAR UNITED members proved "music has no barriers" with a fantastic ensemble. "TO THE MOON" is a song about love, respect, and hope, which are the GLOBAL ROCKSTAR UNITED's concept. The lyrics comfort and heal the listeners with a bright message, "No matter how rough times are, we must not give up on our dreams".

The Asian representative Ayeon of Bebop participated in composing, lyric writing, and arranging the song. She also played the drums for the recording and rapped in Korean, receiving much praise as an aspiring producer.

I actually kind of like the concept, though the lyrics were a bit cheesy. The highlight for me was the rapping at the end. Thoughts?

a listening post!!! for jonghyun's new album!!!

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

i'm too lazy (and livejournal is being too uncooperative) to put everything behind individual cuts so we're gonna have to blob it all together. above is the title track which he wrote about his dog. (that's not even a joke.)

( annnnd the rest of the songs! )

( @realjonghyun90 is cute with his thanks )

blah. blah. all songs were written and composed by jonghyun himself, some with the help of his group of high school friends / composition crew, wefreaky. (also: sorry if this ends up being sent in a few times. livejournal... sucks.... rn...)

According to FNC CEO, idol plastic surgery is something decided by producers

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

Han Seong-ho, founder and CEO of FNC Entertainment - which represents a handful of K-pop groups including FT Island, CNBLUE and AOA, and entertainers such as Yoo Jae-suk and Jung Hyung-don - said that while plastic surgery was prevalent among Korean celebrities, it was not a must.

“An artist does not necessarily have to receive plastic surgery or look perfect in order to gain popularity or possess that ‘star’ quality,” said Han at a forum for the globalization of K-pop at the Asia Music Network, which is taking place at Seoul’s Sangam-dong on Friday and Saturday. “An artist can appeal to the public with their individual charms.”

At the same time, Han added that whether or not an artist goes under the knife is a decision “to be made by a team of producers, factoring in each artist’s characteristics, target audience, and so on.”

[Instiz] What Korean Fans Think About Foreign Fans

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

That is no other than foreign fans - Japanese - Chinese = the rest (SEA+westerners)

translator note: *Warning : This is definitely not discrimination

Japanese fans give a lot of profit from concert or goods so it becomes money
Chinese do a lot of effort, their support projects are dope and voting diligently. Anyway, they are pretty much helping the artists.

But the others...?ㅋ
