the kpop edition

1. So give me the lowdown on SM Entertainment as a corporation. How do they recruit/train/market/etc., especially in comparison to JE? Info on shady business practices and lawsuits and things of that sort also welcome. XD ...How does the Korean music industry and market compare to the Japanese in general, actually? There is no such thing as tldr in comments here.

2. Favorite Korean artists/songs/albums/music videos? I am woefully ignorant. Pop, not pop, what have you - hit me. (Assume I know basically no one except Park Ji-yoon, since that's... true. Oh, and BoA.)

lakshdj does this mean I can stop acting coherent Yes, it's very nice to meet you! :DDD

Yes, forever D: until he goes into the army or his contract runs out or Suju stops existing. I'm very curious to know what happens after he comes out of army, which I suspect is why Eeteuk's trying so ridiculously hard to be funny on variety shows with his MC skills, so he'll have something to come back to.

Okay, those costumes have got to be amazing. Neon coloured feathers (and that's all the feathers you'll ever get from suju), Sungmin even dyed his hair bright pink alskjdas *ADORES*) Eunhyuk's sleeve catches on fire like the proper failface he is.

I am only sort of anticipating your reaction to them :DDDDD

Your account name is definitely familiar to me so I'm pretty sure we must have run into each other in JE circles before, somewhere. :D Please, coherency is so overrated! Especially when this group does such a great job of trying their best to torpedo it. XD

until he goes into the army

...........what? O_O Is... he planning on doing this soon? (I assume this is a requirement, not a choice, like in Switzerland or Singapore?)

Eunhyuk's sleeve catches on fire

He SET HIMSELF ON FIRE. OH WOW. XDD What are those suits made of?? Ahahaha I kind of love Eunhyuk, he seems to fail a lot. ♥

lol yes, somewhere. THEY DO A REALLY GOOD JOB OF MAKING ME CAPSTUCK :DDD

Um, yes! tbh I don't know much but South Korea has mandatory military service for about 2 years. The last time I looked I thought the age the guys had to go in by was 30 but it seems to be 35 now, I don't know if I'm seeing things, but yes, it is a requirement. I don't think he's going in anytime soon, I hope? But this other singer Kangta went in when he was 30 (by korean age), Eeteuk's 27 now? SO WE HAVE SOME YEARS WITH HIM STILL. Just don't kill yourself before then, Teuk. Crazy leader.

I think feathers are quite flammable :DDD *dies* The rest love to make fun of him for his porn and smelly feet 8D

I seeeeee. Gosh, somehow I'd missed hearing about that somehow. Shame on me! eek, now that I've gotten attached, I selfishly don't want anything messing with that. D:

The rest love to make fun of him for his porn and smelly feet

ahahahaha I was watching Idol World yesterday when they had to undergo the lie detector test - "soooo do you bring porn on your mp3 player?" "......*helpless guilty grin*" Why is it always the sweet-faced ones? XD

[ky-rin.livejournal.com]

Well, at least when it happens it won't be a shock? T_T Even though I don't want it to happen.

alskdjalsdjasdjlas you've watched Idol World it is ridiculously awesome. His face was so, so red I bet I could fry and egg on it! Don't all guys do it...? Not that I really mind! It's the sweet-faced innocent ones like Eunhyuk who are careless XD
