Billboard's 21 Under 21 2015: Music's Hottest Young Stars
18. Seventeen
Last Year's Rank: N/A
Why They're Hot: If Seventeen doesn't become the biggest K-pop band of all time, it may go down as the largest. The group boasts 13 members (average age: 17) hailing from South Korea, China, and the United States, and it's divided into three units: one for hip-hip, one for vocals, and one for choreography. The divide-and-conquer strategy has paid off, as Seventeen's sophomore EP, Boys Be, debuted atop the World Albums chart in September. Led by the single "Mansae” -- a chipper mix of hip-hop, funk, and pop -- the five-song set followed 17 Carat, a promising debut that reached No. 8 on the World Albums chart back in May and outlasted records by better-established rivals like EXO and BTS. Although Seventeen was formed by Pledis Entertainment and launched via a reality series called Seventeen Project: Big Debut Plan, the group's members actively contribute to the writing and production of the music -- a rarity in the K-pop scene. Seventeen is a small army whose weapons include talent and creativity. If any K-pop band stands to truly conquer America, it might be this one.

Can you trust Korean music charts?

Are Korean music charts rigged? A two-part report published this week examines issues relating to chart fixing in South Korea.

( Is the Korean digital music market pushing out artists? )

Sorry for the trouble, mods, hope this looks better!
I thought this was a really interesting read. I wonder what would happen if they studied how much of the general public actually listens to those who chart versus those who don't. What do you think, Omona? Are digital music charts trustworthy or not?

The video will not embed, but you can watch it here. DramaFever picked up this mess, so we'll have subs or whatever (and access to them if someone reposts the episodes).

Omona, have you ever been so universally liked by your fellow competitors that you made it impossible for Mnet to taint your long-awaited and well-deserved victory with evil editing?

From JYP Entertainment that has not debuted a new male idol group in long time, GOT7, the 7-membered group debuted grandly in January last year. Be it from their debut song ‘Girls Girls Girls’ and even the song ‘Just Right’ that was released in the summer, they are always simple and cutely confessing, showing a boy(ish) side. This is probably why, compared to their older songs, GOT7 that returned with the song ‘If You Do’ that feels more masculine, seem different somehow. It hasn’t even been 2 years since they stood on their debut stage but during this period, the boys have turned into men. And here, the things that the 7 men have not been able to show, the things they want to do, are still aplenty.

( Sweet main vocal...ㅠ )
And bonus perfectly sculpted Jackson met his parents for today's fanmeeting in China :')
( and has a bamily..? )
I like that the boys are just very real and in-touch with reality. Their answers seem so wise.... <3
Also this is my first post, so hello Omona! Nice to finally join after lurking for ages. Please go easy on me :)
