I'll be honest, this show is what got me interested in U-KISS. Ofc I know the members by name but I only really know them by Bingeul Bingeul (catchy as hale). I just ignore them on music shows. But these 3 are adorable. Kevin's cute. AJ and Eli are hot. I've started following their Believe promotions. It's a big deal for me because when I first say "no" to a group I usually stick by it. It's amazing what food does to me. Food wins again.
yeah i dread the day he'll announce he'll be leaving for Columbia. i'll be in mourning for days since he's my u-kiss bias >____< but yeah it's definitely the best for him :)
True! ;) He's a smart kid after all. Though he's deffering it just as aneeleniffum said because of Ukiss activities. It's a hard decision actually. I don't think an Ivy league school would allow too long deferrent so sooner or later aj might have to leave ukiss. *just my speculations* Just when he's getting the attention he deserves in the group :(
Though I wouldn't mind bringing Kibum and Xander back and them become a 9 member group. Hahaha
Yeah it's sad, he's obviously going to leave at some point. But I'm happy he's able to contribute to the group while he can. I'm brushing up on my U-KISS knowledge by downloading their old reality shows. Haha. I admit Kibum and Xander were the only 2 members I knew by face, well that changed 2 days ago. Hahaha. Do you know why Kibum and Xander left the group? Does the real reason differ from the "official" press release?
Omo sorry for bugging you with all these questions. :)
I suggest you watch Chef Kiss and U-Kiss Vampire! XD Funny shows. I actually finished those two variety shows in just 2 weeks. Hahaha
Nope, it's okay. I actually love answering questions about U-Kiss because I get to contribute to their popularity. I really think they need more love. Hahaha. Anyway, yeah. The reasons are different from what NH Media released and what Kibum and Xander really said. NH Media said that Kibum would be focusing on his Piro Piro business and Xander wants to do other things like studying which is definitely not the case. They said that the real reason is that the company desired a member change and they lack "musical abilities."
This is Kibum's statement from Twitter: http://www.allkpop.com/2011/02/kim-kibum-explains-his-departure-from-u-kiss
What I find so weird is that if they both lack musical skills, why debut them in the first place? -___-"
And Alexander tweeted about their anniversary last year too! XD http://www.soompi.com/2011/08/27/alexander-congratulates-ukiss-on-their-third-anniversary/
....You should also watch Kibum's interview about his departure on Brunch! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n_thk_4Jsc
Aww, yay I love answers like this! I feel so welcome. Thank you!!!
What I find so weird is that if they both lack musical skills, why debut them in the first place? I agree. That is weird.
Thanks for the link to Kibum's interview! That must have been really hard on him. Even if we can never know what really went behind the scenes, Kibum and Xander invested their time and skills. Leaving the company was more difficult on their part. It's not like U-Kiss debuted as an idol group with a graduation concept.
Xander's statement was really nice. Lawl I'm going through so many ~feels~! I just got to know U-KISS and now I feel like I have to say bye to 2 members and prepare myself for another possible goodbye (AJ. Oh, heart.) Anyway, in my head, they're 9 no matter what.
I think Alexander and Kibum are doing great nowadays. Kibum debuted as an actor in Japan with a stage name "Allen" and Alexander signed with M Plus Entertainment. Nothing really happened when he kept his contract with NH Media after his departure. And he just tweeted something about going to Singapore! >.<
I think so? I actually didn't know that they are going to promote Believe and have an MV of it. I thought it was really just a thank you single to kiss me's :P That's why I'm lol-ing so hard on the part of the mv where AJ accidentally hit Kevin. Just a proof that it was rushed. Though after a few hours, they reedited the video with a better version :)
It's nice to know that their careers grow outside NH Media. :) Aww I missed that funny part! I only have the second version. I did not know that happened. I'm already lol-ing at the mere thought of it. XD
Very nice song right? :-) They still have 3 good ballad songs that I recommend too! XD It's "When Love Stops" from Dora Dora Single, "Chinguui Sarang (Love of a friend) and "Take me away" from Neverland Album <3
I'm listening to 0330 right now. Still on loop. Thanks! I'll listen to other songs too!
Funny how I've ignored them for as long as I have. They even had their first major concert where I live. Aigoo why aren't these boys more famous in Korea?! (Just talking to myself here, hahaha.) I'm still hoping they win on music shows.
Awwwh, Kev bb is such a pro. I have a lot of respect for when people can suck it up or act professionally when they're sick or otherwise not feeling well.
