[pwrpuffgrl.livejournal.com]

The 2019 VMA's nominations have been announced and there's a brand new Best K-Pop category.

MTV #VMA’s Best K-Pop Nominations:

• Kill This Love
• Boy With Luv
• Tempo
• Who Do U Love
• Regular
• Cat & Dog pic.twitter.com/JEgp4V3Lg0

— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) 23 de julio de 2019

Some say it's a great opportunity to give exposure to kpop by having its own category, most say it separates kpop groups (mainly BTS) so they don't compete with western bands and actually win. Additional to Best Kpop, BTS' Boy With Luv is nominated for Best Collaboration, Best Art Direction and Best Choreography.

VMA's will air next Monday (lol), August 26.

Omona, what do you think? Will any of them show up? Why is TXT there and not Twice? Who still cares about the VMAs?

NCT Dream's Jaemin drinks his Americano with 8 (!) espresso shots and snacks on sugar when bored

[juhli.livejournal.com]

NCT Dream’s Jaemin surprised everyone with his extreme tastes on JTBC’s “Idol Room.”

On the July 23 episode, the members of NCT Dream appeared as guests and competed on a make-believe audition segment to appeal to viewers.

Jisung said, “[Jaemin] likes spicy food extremely spicy and he likes sweet food extremely sweet. Jaemin made us deep-fried sugar glazed sweet potato wedges in the past, and he just dumped sugar into it.”

The MCs prepared foods that Jaemin usually eats. The first was a “deadly” Americano consisting of eight espresso shots. The NCT Dream members and the MCs grimaced after taking a sip, but Jaemin was perfectly content, saying, “I have to drink it like this to feel alert right away. This is just right.”

#GirlsGeneration's #Taeyeon Joins Korean Red Cross's Honors Club For Generous Donations https://t.co/3REE1BM4kg pic.twitter.com/I0EoKngTel

— Soompi (@soompi) July 24, 2019

On July 24, the Korean Red Cross revealed that Taeyeon had donated 100 million won (approximately $84,940) to the Korean Red Cross’s North Jeolla province office.

A source from the Korean Red Cross explained that Taeyeon had asked for the funds to be used to help support women, children, and adolescents in low-income households by providing hygiene products such as sanitary pads. The organization will use the donation to provide hygiene products to three schools.

Taeyeon stated, “I decided to make my donation because I’ve watched my mother help those in need and give hope to others through the Korean Red Cross. I hope I can provide warmth to female students who are having a difficult time and feel neglected.”

Through her donation, Taeyeon has now become the 132nd member of the Red Cross Honors Club (RCHC) in Korea, and is the first celebrity from North Jeolla province to do so. The RCHC celebrates those who have made significant donations to the organization to help those in need.
