Since we are (or we were ) on the topic of when we got into K-pop, I thought I'd introduce myself as I've not been very active in this thread.

I'd be oblivious to K-pop if it wasn't for ATRL, in actual fact in was Romi and then Rapha who introduced me to the K-pop scene through their countdown in the "Top Ten" section of the forums. Firstly, warriorsoul got me into the likes of Ayumi and Kuu from the J-pop scene, shortly after I came across Super Junior's song "It's You" which I firstly believed to be J-pop. If I remember correctly, I then saw them on Romi's countdown and eventually began to listen to more variety of K-pop. Romi's countdown eventually got me introduced to SHINee, MBLAQ, BIG BANG and Brown Eyed Girls, from there I self explored the K-pop scene and eventually found some of my own favorites. Throughout 2009 till now, Romi's and Rapha's countdown helped me find other K-pop artist's, so I am so grateful for that.

I know to many of you I'm unknown, but to give you a bigger picture of my music tastes in K-pop. Here are some of my favorite artist's.





Hoping to be more active in here from now, as I've not really got any friends in the UK who like K-pop

Slay! Tree wasn't that great, but glad to see it doing well.

I didn't enjoy TREE that much either. It kinda felt like leftover tracks. I really enjoyed TENSE though! Their vocals in "Off-Road"

TVXQ outselling a Johnny's group gives me hope for the world

The AS limelight distribution is one if those things in k-pop that's become borderline farcical.
Like JYP's last two fiscal years. Or YG's management. Or T-ara.

TREE was literally leftovers from recording sessions for their previous Japanese album TIME so I guess it was never going to be amazing Their Japanese albums tend to be made purely for the purpose of making money and keeping them relevant over there and it seems to work. It had some decent b0ps regardless.

Tense was perfectly crafted though. Still my favourite album of the year so far.

say what you want but the Secret Code remains their best piece of work as 5, 2, 3, whatever.

My 2nd fave album of theirs behind only Mirotic. It's close though. Mirotic for the bops and TSC for the ballads.

Orange Caramel reveal they get paid every 6 months + talk about promoting separately from After School

Fansites have already proven that this quote was mistranslated...she said it's more fun promoting in Orange Caramel because they get to do silly concepts and make crazy expressions. Which makes sense.

Can we take a moment to remember this flawless music video by K. WIll feat Dasom and that one guy from Reply 1997 and the Master's Sun?

He is basing the third title based on sales and its looks like its going to be Give Love though, i think it should be Artificial Grass...

From his message it sounded like the third title would be based on whichever track other than 200% and Melted peaked the highest on Gaon.
Most people I've seen are scrobbling them as "악동뮤지션" even though it's not really correct. But then again there's not really a 'correct' when YG himself has always said "Akdong Musician" but then goes and puts them on iTunes as "Akdong Musician (AKMU)" and promotes them as "AKMU".
