sorry for the trouble, mods
I'm laughing so hard at Jae illegally speaking English, then Sungjin asking if he's drunk. Also, ridiculously happy that Junhyeok is a Real Madrid fan and that I have a jersey from the same season as him.

Any release dates have yet to be announced, but the teaser suggests that something is “coming soon.”

Time for a B$GBANG post

[typhlogirl.livejournal.com]

A Korean business herald's expert team "Super Rich" has estimated that all five BIGBANG members' assets alone equal to 40 billion won (which is approximately 33 million USD), 15 out of the 40 billion (about 1/3 of the total) being G-Dragon's assets.











1. [+713, -108] Even when G-Dragon did something illegal, he got so many shields. Proves that money is power in this hell of a country. Get rich if that pisses you off.

2. [+609, -81] So he has to enlist soon, right??

3. [+573, -111] He's living well for someone who plagiarizes and does drugs thanks to a company that media plays for him as if he's some prodigy

4. [+46, -2] I feel like he'd own more than 15 billion won...

5. [+46, -2] GD only has 15 billion won? I expect at least 30 billion won. 'Lies' was released 9 years ago and it has been one of the top idol songs ever since. 15 billion won doesn't seem like enough.

6. [+34, -14] I bet my entire life savings on GD not going to the army. He's going to do whatever it takes to get into public service.

7. [+27, -9] Seungri is really getting a free ride by GD's bus ㅋㅋ

8. [+26, -3] Instead of studying hard to get into a prestigious college, training in singing and dancing and becoming an idol seems to have a bigger success rate. Even if you study your butt off and get into a big company, you'd still never be able to imagine making 15 billion won in your life time. Being a clown in Korea makes more money nowadays.

9. [+17, -0] I'm not saying celebrities don't work hard for their money but they make way too much. No wonder everyone wants to be celebrities.. I know a hyung who majored in finance at a state university in New York and he studied his butt off to get scholarships and now works at one of the biggest companies in Korea managing VIP accounts but he only makes 200 million won a year... which is still a lot but not even comparable to how much celebrities are making.

10. [+16, -0] So this is only calculating their public assets, right... I bet this is only the tip of the ice berg considering Seungri has the kind of cash like 2 billion won laying around to let others borrow and Taeyang's able to buy a 5 billion won building without taking out a loan. They take 70% of their digital/physical sales, 90% of CF contracts, and 100% of individual activities, so...

11. [+16, -3] I predict way more than 30 billion won

INFINITE Reveal Which Members Were Advised to Leave the Group

[theemii.livejournal.com]

Turns out that it hasn’t been a smooth ride to the top for all the members of INFINITE.

On the January 14 broadcast of MBC Every1′s “INFINITE’s Showtime,” the members play the Never Have I Ever game to reveal interesting stories and facts about themselves.

When it’s Sunggyu‘s time to ask a question, he says, “Those who have been advised to leave the group by our agency CEO - put a finger down.”

Immediately, Woohyun and Dongwoo drop their fingers, and Sunggyu goes on to joke while facing Woohyun, “So you managed to make it?”

Dongwoo explains about his past struggles, “I’ve been told that a lot. Even before our debut.” Hearing this, Sunggyu himself puts down a finger and says, “I almost failed to make it as well.”

The members then turn to Hoya, expecting him to share about similar experiences. But Hoya says, “You’d think that I’d have something to tell, but I don’t.”

1. [+4,164, -53] If Woollim had gone through with that, their company could've failed...

2. [+2,949, -29] Today it's something to laugh about on varieties but I can't imagine how upset they must've felt as trainees ㅜㅜ I congratulate them on working even harder and finding the strength to train and become a singer

3. [+2,111, -29] Meanwhile Hoya, "You'd think I would've been advised that but I wasn't" ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+1,865, -39] Hul... I'm glad they didn't leave, INFINITE is forever 7

5. [+1,635, -58] Admirable of them. I would've gotten my pride hurt and probably left while swearing at Woollim. INFINITE's such a good group now;

6. [+288, -1] Woollim probably wouldn't be around if not for INFINITE

7. [+284, -8] I don't understand why they would've said that to Woohyun.. he's a vocalist and handsome to boot...?

8. [+250, -1] INFINITE's the group that helped Woollim afford their building~

9. [+249, -2] That would've been a decision to hit the floor in regret over ㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+229, -3] They were advised to leave even after debut...? How upsetting it must've been!! INFINITE is forever 7!

Article: EXO has surpassed Seo Taiji... wins daesang for three consecutive years at Seoul Music Awards

Source: Star News via Nate

1. [+649, -68] As if they've surpassed Seo Taiji... EXO couldn't even hold a candle to HOT's old fame either. These are people whose comebacks and concerts were announced on the 9 pm news circuits back when singers were seen as nothing but lowly entertainers.

2. [+617, -77] Honestly, music daesangs mean nothing nowadays ㅋㅋㅋ you win one as long as you have a lot of fans

3. [+601, -81] Surpass what? How dare you bring Seo Taiji into this

4. [+50, -9] If EXO disbands, do they even have one member who has the amount of influence as Seo Taiji does?

5. [+49, -11] Surpass Seo Taiji? ㅋㅋㅋ The man who was able to bring all of the runaway teens back home with one song? Go tell EXO to go back to the zoo and growl away ㅋㅋ

6. [+45, -9] EXO is not like Busker who created a song to be remembered for generations... they won based solely off of their agency's power with a song that can be heard from anyone else ㅋㅋㅋ and you dare compare them to Seo Taiji? ㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+41, -11] They call themselves singers but they win based off of fandom power and not their musicality...

8. [+39, -8] What a joke ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I don't understand.. EXO??? Did they even promote in our country? Do they even have a good song??? What are the standards for picking them???? I don't hate or love them but what else do they have other than 'Growl'????? How are they winning daesang? And for consecutive years at that???????

9. [+36, -3] Shouldn't Big Bang have won this award? I don't remember a single EXO song other than 'Growl'

10. [+33, -0] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

1. [+4,426, -1,217] Good job running as far as you have come, congratulations on the daesang EXO!

2. [+2,406, -546] Congratulations to EXO for winning daesang 3 years in a row and to the other singers as well

3. [+4,785, -1,357] Congratulations on your three awards today and for being the first singer to win daesang for 3 years in a row. You've suffered coming this far but as a fan it's been happy all along. Let's be happy with us fans in 2016 too, let's love EXO!!

4. [+3,132, -823] Congratulations

5. [+1,096, -191] The crowd went wild for them, I had to turn down my volume

6. [+1,018, -186] Thank you so much to the Seoul Music Awards for allowing EXO to write history by being the first daesang winners for 3 years ㅠㅠ so proud of EXO

7. [+937, -162] 3 consecutive years... amazing. Congratulations!

8. [+775, -109] Congratulations to EXO for going down in history ㅜㅜㅜ Let's make it 4 consecutive years

Article: EXO wins Hallyu Special Award, "Thank you to the EXO-L all over the world"

Source: TV Daily via Nate

1. [+362, -28] So they let the Hallyu special award winner go up to receive this award and yet the winner of a popularity award that fans had to pay to vote for wasn't even invited to the event. Yup, this awards ceremony has no prestige, just admit it. Congratulations to EXO though~

2. [+298, -36] Lay didn't even attend the awards ceremony, how is this any different from him straight up leaving the group? He's another Chinese, just like the rest of them ㅡㅡ Fans should just admit it already

3. [+155, -39] Look, the kid next to him is so cold he's wearing a cap on his head

4. [+45, -28] SM Music Awards

5. [+29, -4] Isn't it ridiculous that the winner of a paid popularity vote award was given 2 seconds of screentime through a video? It's unsettling to watch this power play at work.

6. [+24, -32] I don't think it's fair to call this an SM Music Awards ceremony just because SM singers are receiving awards. What are SM singers supposed to do then? Not exist?

7. [+20, -13] SM trash

8. [+18, -15] All I remember is them growling..... is the Korean music industry on a decline...

9. [+17, -10] What a joke, what "fans all over the world"? You mean 80% of your international fanbase being Chinese and 20% from SEA?

10. [+15, -9] Am I the only one who has never heard an EXO song yet...
