This is a serious question:

Is Yoona still relevant in Korea? I remember she used to be such a hot-topic. She was everywhere.

Yoona put in effort the second she joined SNSD & hasn't stopped since, the same can't be said for the other

True. She's so hard working, she became fluent in Chinese only after one drama there. And the fact that she has zero scandal since debut, unike some members
Only the center/the visual/the face of the nation's group.

Aren't CFs what bring artists the most money? apart from touring?

from what i remember reading they make little to nothing with digital sales and album sales

Twice had 10 CFs around 2015 where they earned 1.8 billion won which is nearly US$1.55 million. This was before Cheer Up, Tzuyu versus China (which ironically increased her value) and TT. Their fees now must be insane.

Tzuyu was predicted to earn US$1.6 million after Flag-gate, so basically y'all know why she's always center in CFs and who'll be feeding the eight other girls when they ain't got no solo work. Her solo fees must be pretty high compared to other rookies who debuted in the same year as her (including her fellow members).

I don't understand why people always brag about how many CFs someone has.
It's not like it's a hard thing to do if you only charge $10 per member.

It's a way to have quick cash and exposure real quick.

Like I don't think Suzy wants to see herself singing a bop about Fried Chicken all day long.

Omg is this recent? Omg.

Yes. Taehyung just revealed today/yesterday that his grandmother died in September. The day they won for BST was the 49th day since she passed.

I remember that fansign where he broke down when he read what a fan wrote which was apparently about his grandmother. But I thought they clarified that she was just very sick not that she passed.

Taehyung is too precious to experience sadness

And all this time he was mentioning his grandma in their winning speeches i was under the impression that she was just very sick.

It hurts my heart to see stuff like this.

SNSD are such BLACKPINK stans.
Talent stanning for talent.

Yuri & Jisoo know each other from doing a CF.

Yeah, the $10 thing is just something pressed fans use an excuse when a group or member is getting CF contracts offered everywhere. Sure, if you're just starting out your fees will be less than an established act, but there's literally no downside of getting several CF's.

Y'all might call Crayon Pop flops but the girls are earning, and have paid all their debts in their agency PLUS their DEBTS FOR THE UNIVERSITY EDUCATION (Way and ChoA specifically). DooDoomChit!

Exactly! Profits from digital and physical sales are mostly eaten up by the agency. And if you're not from SM, YG or JYP, you might not even taste the profits of your group's sales. Trainees debts are taken into account too.

The fact that AOA only had their first paycheck during the Like A Cat era.

ICC > RR but it's very close imo.

Irene and Joy's rap about putting things in their mouths just puts it ahead for me.

I agrih.

[Vine101]

The "la la la la's" in RR combined with the dance move.

Best combo of all time?

The army is embarrassing, but they do come in handy with those quick subs.

ICC >>>>> RR it's really not that close.

Both are good though.

Who am I supposed to be pressed about?
It was just a general comment.

and I posted it before even seeing the TWICE/Jessi videos, before anybody tries to make it about them.

Park Seo Joon: Hyolyn is my diva. Since she's the only lady friend i'm close to even my parents know about her. They know about her comeback even better than I do. And all my family gave a word of support and watched over her.

Hyolyn: To me, Park Seo Joon is a lighthouse

Lucky queen




omggggg Snatch him, Goddess! They're so cute

Maybe not you then, but I've seen that argument before and they sure as hell were pressed.

[iamstrong]

Kiiiii @ most of TWICE's CFs only focusing on Tzuyu and Nayeon.

I remember reading an article on OH about it with graphs and all but I cant find it now

no wonder these girls accept pretty much every CF thrown at them when they get peanuts from the actual music

also, i bet most of YG's and SM's income is made up by BIGBANG's and SNSD'S touring millions
