I'd love for the United Cube tour to at least come to the U.S. It seemed like the last one (or at least BEAST's tour) the U.S. got shafted w/o any explanation. I dunno if I'll go though. I'll feel better and have better respect as long as United Cube makes it to the U.S.
I know! It was even my post here (http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/10031071.html) on Omona haha. It's like 90% there'll be one. Or maybe idk two? I'll build a Cube Shrine if there's another city besides Jakarta *coughJogjacough* lol ugh but it's very unlikely :c
Hmm, aside from Jakarta maybe Bandung or Surabaya, but I agree Yogya is unlikely. *pats* They'll probably make it a collab show though, bring that S4 group as well like in the 4Minute Party. I still laugh at the lyrics of their song when they sing "don't touch touch" = jangan pegang-pegang? XD
Omg noooo it will be such a turn off. Well idk to me S4 is just like a third cool, another third legit basic/generic kpoppy, and the last third omg they are so embarrassing lmao. I'm guessing the second touch is just a repetition since you know it's a song, but if it's really meant to be jangan pegang pegang that'd be a major inglish fail tbh XD
i'm saying this because when they debuted i remember articles saying that they were part of some sort of cube's sub-label and even when it came to promoting it i always saw apink doing videos and such for them.
I'm rather confused about all of this as well tbh. BTOB are part of 'CUBE DC' I think which is a sub label of CUBE but A Pink are part of 'A Cube Entertainment' which could be separate somehow? Since A Cube has 'Entertainment' at the end but CUBE DC doesn't, I think they are separate from the rest of the company?
but see, even with a cube being a sub label idg why a pink gets shafted from the company's family concert, i mean, technically miss a and baek a yeon are from a different company, which even has it’s own building (even do it’s connected to jype’s building lmao), aka aqe, but they are still members of the company and participate of the family events.
Oh yes, I agree with you! A Pink actually attended the United Cube last time but only the concert in Seoul :/ Same as the other artists under A CUBE like Huh Gak (?)
Cube is big enough to have sublabels now? Huhhh....
(In practical terms, I wonder what it means. Each sublabel has a head that develops acts as they like essentially independently? Or the groups are developed and then allocated to sublabels?)
i don't think so, but it is a way of outsourcing in a way.
idk what to speak about other companies sub-labels, since i only know the workings of jype/aqe, but in that case the trainees are from jype, created by the company and produced by them, aqe just manages them.
Well, APink actually being under different management clears up one mystery for me. Back in some interview where Eunji was talking about how pressed her boss got with her for not seeming like a blushing virgin when she did some kiss scene and everyone was going "CREEPER", I thought that it was impossible that he really expected her to be that way considering what Hyuna's stage persona was like, and that he was just annoyed with her for not keeping APink's image pure. But now I guess he's just a creeper. Or at least mostly a creeper.
(I guess this qualifies as good news for the 4 actors JYPE signed recently, though....)
well, just to play the devil's advocate here, the eunji thing can be easily explained over the fact that she comes from a group that the name and image represents something very girly and innocent like, unlike 4minute and hyuna who always had a sexier image. but he remains a creeper and stupid.
and honestly, idk what it will mean for them, for example, suzy is swimming with the big fish right now, she is one of the few idols actress from this generation who have an actual shot to crossover to being seen as a serious actress, that if she keeps choosing the right projects like she has been doing rn and if her acting also keeps on getting better. however, kim so young, who had been jype's sole actress until this year, and who has been in the company since 2009 has nothing big going on.
however, this year things were different, jype seems to now have people solely to manage the acting talents, as park joo hyun getting a pretty good part on jeon woo chi right after he got into jype, plus lee jung jin has a leading man status, so they just can't drop the ball here.
Oh I wish I could go. I only want to see the fellas, I'm so over Cube ladies. Does that mean APINK aren't concert stage ready or they put in enough leg work?
Last yeat A Pink and the rest of A Cube were only the South Korean leg of concerts. Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Cube_Concert) says so, I guess this year it will be the same thing :)
Also, remind me again why A-Pink isn't included in Cube? And I wonder what theme they'll have this time around~ I wasn't really feeling the Fantasy Land thing last year.
Yeah, I remember that :) But I remember BtoB is under Cube DC or DC Cube, but they're still under the big umbrella. I was reading a comment thread above, and they're talking about the same thing lol
I guess it's just really complicated. Still very excited that BtoB and Jihoon are going to be part of the concert :D
I want to see BTOB and Roh Jihoon! Also I see London at 00:10!
I probably won't be in London for the showing this time so hopefully I'll get to see them somewhere else...more princess Sohyun and prince BTOB for me~.
