☆☆ Fiestar's 4th anniversary ☆☆

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

☆☆ On August 31, 2012 an amazing girl group called Fiestar released their debut single "Vista". Jei, Cao Lu, Yezi, Hyemi, Linzy and Cheska managed to capture people's hearts with their catchy and quirky concept, strong choreography, hard rap and angelic voices. They were on the rise and steadily gaining a fandom. However, due to lack of often comebacks and with Cheska leaving Fiestar, the group hit a slump. They changed their concept into something more sexy and a lot of people saw Fiestar as a completely new group. Little did they know, it was actually the beginning of their revival. ☆☆

PSY sets up his own label under YGE

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

PSY’s long-cherished dream of making an independent label will finally be true.

According to sources, PSY is to set up an independent label called “PSYG” under YG Entertainment. He has wanted to start a label for years, and recently he was able to take steps in making his dream of establishing a label come true. He even finished the corporate registration process for his label on August 6.

PSYG will be run as an independent sub label of YG along with THE BLACK LABEL and HIGHGRND. Led by TABLO, HIGHGRND is the label of THE BLACK SKIRTS and HYUKOH. TEDDY, KUSH, and ZION.T are signed onto THE BLACK LABEL, and they make music in a system independent from YG.

PSY had talked about how he wanted to start a label before and said, “It was a promise between YANG HYUN SUK and me when I joined YG.”

PSY will be leading PSYG and explore and create various genres of music. It is said that YANG HYUN SUK promised to provide full support for PSY’s new label.

Meanwhile, PSY is currently going back and forth between Korea and China to work on his album and do promotional activities in China.

Sechs Kies’s new song was co-written and produced by Tablo

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

The first new song of group Sechs Kies who is coming back after 16 years of absence from the music scene was jointly written by TABLO and FUTURE BOUNCE.

A high-ranking insider of YG Entertainment said on August 31 to Daily Sports, “Sechs Kies’ first new song that was completed on August 30 was jointly written by TABLO and FUTURE BOUNCE”.

( Future Bounce also wrote 'Whistle' )

( After 16 years, they get a lightstick )

The lightstick is sweet, it's giving me flashbacks to back in the day when the fans only had balloons. God, I'm old.

Eli talks about being a father and his wife

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Eli comments, “A lot of young girl fans left. Instead I got more pregnant fans. Gifts I receive from fans have clearly changed as well. I used to get a lot of clothes and shoes as gifts, but now I get baby clothes, pacifiers, baby mittens, and that kind of stuff.”

( Read more... )

Awww the fans are sweet! I still can't believe that an active idol is a married father. That part about registering the marriage before he proposed...how does that work? Like, you fill out the paperwork, file it, pay for it...then why do you need to propose? Cause aren't you already married?!?

so...I was there from 25-28 Aug (Thu-Sun), really short trip but I managed to attend all the pre-recording sessions for MCD, MuBank, MuCore and Inki, and all the live shows except MuBank. their fandom size is, bluntly put, pathetic :( they have a core group of KMercuries, but even they don't attend every recording or schedule. the turnout was pretty bad, average 10 fans? we had the shortest line by far.. and out of that 10, at least 1/3 were international fans, including myself and my friend (@Spica_Tweets). like, 4 fans for Inki live show - all international fans, and 2 were casual fans... if you like Spica and ever have a chance to be in Seoul during their comeback, please go and show them your support, they really really need it :(


on to the more positive stuff - THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC TO WATCH. granted, I'm 1000000% biased, but OH MY GOD THEY WERE REAL-LIFE GODDESSES. the last time I saw them perform as a group irl was in May 2013 (I waited 1189 days 😭 [yes I have a counter]) and seeing them in front of my eyes again was just so unreal. their vocals were on point, dancing was good (well, as good as I can expect of this bunch of old ladies [Boa's lack of stamina though haha]).. I didn't think they'd be able to pull of a fast dance concept this well, but they worked really hard!

they had a pretty good reception from other groups' fans too :) especially during Music Core post-recording (i.e. recording the following week's MuCore ep) where there were many fandoms in the same session - Spica were surprisingly done in one take and the (UP10TION) fans next to us howled in disappointment hahaha. heard random fans praising their beauty when we saw them leaving the broadcast stations too ^^ (though Boa has this habit of disbelieving people who tell her she's pretty... :( )

in I LOVE KIM BOA news, on Friday they went into Music Bank too quickly for me to pass my gifts (small things + ramen and snacks from Singapore) to them, but when they came out to go to the salon I called out to Boa and passed all the member gifts to her. she looked at me with the same quizzical expression while smiling, and... she.... SHE REACHED OUT AND GRABBED MY HAND 😭😭😭 I wasn't expecting that at all... she's so sweet 😭 I don't care if I'm delusional, but throughout the 4 days I felt like she was really making the effort to look/smile at me because she knows I'm her fan.. I love Kim Boa so much :(

and of course the other members were super lovely too.. in general Spica aren't a group that's large on fanservice, but they do show their appreciation and concern in smaller ways. I appreciate all the cute little things they did, like Jiwon asking if we'd eaten (when we said no, she made this face 😩), Sihyun turning around to peek at us while they were in their opening positions (and Boa blocked her on purpose), Boa glaring at the KMercuries (she glares at them a lot, I think her dynamics with KMercuries is adorable), Narae and Jiwon making arm hearts and generally being super smiley, Bbo waving excitedly at us like the precious ball of sunshine that she always is...

overall, super stressful and tiring 4 days (lots of standing and waiting around) but I would do it a hundred times over for Spica.. I promised them in my letters that I'd go again for their next comeback, and I hope I'll get to meet more international Mercuries then! (including some from Omona..? :D)


(if you read the whole thing, thank you for indulging me...)

also, they're holding an Mwave Meet & Greet on 19 September at 12nn KST! I'm holding a mass order (to get into the top 5) so if any lovely Omonians are interested, please click here for more details! 🙆
