Girl's Day or Ailee better snatch that #1 or else...
By the way, BTOB's song is just good for me. Is it just me who thinks that Sungjae and the brother of Cheon Song Yi @ "My Love From Another Star" are look alike
Sunmi also serves slayage in her music video. She better get that first win next week.
Jaejoong, Junhyung and Zico all did an interview together talking about how they compose music and the general perception of idols and their talents.
Quote:
Jaejoong Junhyung Zico "Idol? Artist? There’s no need to label"
The talk flowed towards the reality of being an idol. An idol is considered mainstream and is often admired but also becomes the subject of criticism. Especially as soon as one is given a title of an ‘idol’, their musical ability is underestimated. This is the reason why companies are now encouraging their artists to participate in composition in order to make an image of a musician.
In that sense, this trio is standing right on the boundary of an idol and an artist.
Zico: Idol, artist.. I feel like these words have been separated from their original meaning & have been made into a word only to be used by us. Since it’s an idol, wearing sunglasses or being a topic of evaluation is a pity. Members with excellent singing and rapping abilities, there are many friends who can make good songs if there were an easy environment. It’s only because their competence is overshadowed.
JH nodded to Zico’s words. JH: No matter what image you see idols / artists in, we are still thankful but we don’t want to be labelled. We can only work hard on producing good music until it is recognised. We cannot inject it forcefully into the general public.
JJ: Companies wanting to foster stars, debut singers as idols. They would say that if they want to be successful as musicians then choose a different route. So there isn’t a big reason to find it a pity.
JH: Rather than a music producer who leads the company, with a concept of a music producer, I feel like I can draw a future.
Zico agreed with JH whereas JJ: I think we’ll know the more we age /laughs

The full thing is a pretty cool read.
Apologies if AP somewhere.
When does SM usually release their videos? At 12AM or PM? Or just randomly through the day? If it was AM, we should be getting Mr. Mr. in 24 hours, assuming it's still happening.
