I personally don't celebrate Halloween in anyway, but hope everybody who enjoys this day got lots of candy and had lots of fun ^^
I had come across on Seoulbeats a round-table discussion which was related to Halloween (in some way). The authors had discussed what was their worst (KPOP) nightmare. Some of the answers were hilarious as I am sure most KPOP fans will agree with some of them if not all. I will only pick my favourites from the site and add my own, but you can read the original article here
1. Musical stagnation/pigeon-holing
If artists are not allowed to grow, they should not be in the industry. My fear would be that SNSD would reach their late 20s and still be performing songs similar to Gee or Kissing You. Like Brown Eyed Girls, their music needs to involve to have a better image and not make people barf in their mouths.
2. Outfit of horrors
THIS will never be changed as fashion is a mysterious thing. What might be on the runways might not transfer to real life nor may it be accepted by EVERYBODY. (AKA DBSK's clothes in Keep Your Head Down. *shiver*)
3. X number of debuts in a year.
I have been into the KPOP scene for a good 7 years now? and seen the gazillion groups debut then go MIA. The rate at which they debut is horrific, as they just get washed out by each other. I must admit, the more recent debuts (2010-2012) have been horrifying as the groups are larger in number, and they all look all the freaking exact same to me. Similar concepts, similar number of people,
4. Age
I am not old,nor am I considered young anymore. But due to the mass number of debuts of young artists... I am starting to feel borderline pedo-noona. Most of the groups that have debuted recently, I cannot and should not be liking any specific members because they are all almost 5 years younger than I am. Pedo noona... that is how the companies get their monies.
5. The day something happens to Yoo Jae Suk
(My brother would have a bigger fear of this, but I also fear it.) He is a wonderful MC and has a wonderful personality (wonderful is an understatement,and his wife is a lucky woman... well except for how much he can talk.) I cannot imagine watching a week's worth of different variety shows and not have his face at least pop up once or twice. There will be no second grasshopper. Yoo Hyuk is the one and only Nation's MC. No matter how much an idol is good at MCing or being a host.. there is no replacement for this man.
Oh yes, just a btw that I discovered recently. I remember there was so much hype about EXO debuting. (Like seriously... 23 teasers is 23 teasers too many, at least I think it was 23, I lost count after 10. And yes I do know how to count) Any who... I recently watched their performances (months late, almost a year late, I KNOW!) But I don't really see what all the hype is about. Maybe the gazillion teasers killed it, but I don't find what is so special about them. Gah. EXOtics you can kill me and all... but seriously? Maybe cause I'm older (T_T) but I don't find skinny guys attractive anymore... and to me, they look like 12 Taemins running around on stage. Taemin is last in terms of ranking in SHINee... so not attractive to me at all. Sigh. THey are good singers, I give them that, and they are good singers, I give them, they are good looking, last thing I give the, but they are just not my type. Sorry guys. No EXO time for me.
