Global Candlelight Vigil for Go Eun-bi and Kwon Ri-sae (My Feelings Better Expressed)

I was able to share my thoughts some more in this entry and I was even able to open up my heart a bit more. I hope everyone realizes how important life is and how quickly it can end. Never forget to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you. I'm sure EunB and RiSe knew how loved they were before they went to heaven. May their souls rest in peace.

Global Candlelight Vigil for Go Eun-bi and Kwon Ri-sae

A tragic accident gave heaven two new angels. I choose to remember Go Eun-bi (EunB) and Kwon Ri-sae (RiSe) as two wonderful idols who brought joy to many and inspired dreams. I did not know them for long, but I will carry their memories in my heart forever. ☆Ladies’♡Code☆ R.I.P Go Eun-bi & Kwon Ri-sae

Updated "In Memoriam" For Go Eun-bi

I have updated the "In Memoriam" for Eun-bi with new information for anyone who wants to know more. Some updates have opinions attached to them, but the sentiment remains the same. Updates are at the bottom and I ask everyone to continue praying/wishing well for RiSe and all of Ladies' Code. Remember, we are all one giant Kpop family. Let's show the world how we are truly united. ‪#‎PrayForRiSe‬ ‪#‎PrayForLadiesCode‬

In Memoriam: Go Eun-bi (EunB) of Ladies' Code

It is said that people unite during times of hardship. The death of Go Eun-bi (EunB) is described as a tragedy by fans like myself and that means it is an emotional hardship for all of us. Kpop fans have been more united than I have seen for a long time. I wish everyone could just support each other all the time. We are one big family, even thought we bicker and fight every now and then. Ignore the ignorant "haters" who only want to cause trouble. They will never understand or really be one of us. Respect those who are mourning and help give strength to those who need it. My deepest condolences go out to the families, friends and fellow fans connected to this tragedy. I believe Go Eun-bi is resting in heaven as an angel now. I pray for the full recoveries of Kwon Rise and Lee Sojung, as well as no future problems occurring from their injuries. May Go Eun-bi Rest In Peace (R.I.P).

Torn On New Topics

The time for my next kpop blog post, but I am injured at the moment. I need some hell deciding between two topics. Both are controversial, but worth attention. Perhaps my readers and anyone else interested will help me. I'll use my recovery time to do research and get better too. Find out more on the post and vote to help me out. Thank you all. ^^ http://jrahim21.wordpress.com/2014/08/29/torn-between-topics/

Disrespect From A.IKOR's Kemy to Park Bom Creates Outrage Among Blackjacks

I'm not a master of hip-hop or even a student, but I do know "diss tracks" are often attempts at gaining publicity through insulting songs or public, childish squabbles between two or more groups. It might be an aspect of K hip-hop that fans of the genre expect, but making unprovoked attacks on an artist that is your senior by many years in more than one way is the peak of disrespect. Bommie has done nothing to Kemy and this is how she is treated. I hope other artists remember this because this shows she does not know respect for her seniors. However, this does not mean you threaten Kemy because that puts you on the same level as her "diss track" and you can't put out fire with more fire. Read my latest blog entry to learn more about this situation.

Will The Real 'Red Velvet' Please Stand Up? ><

Kpop controversies become a clash between ethics and legal facts when the law gets involved. Indie bands have a big disadvantage against large music labels and this deal with the indie band will probably only last, until the indie band becomes competition. That day might never come, but nobody knows for sure. Read on to find out more and my take on this issue. It is so hard to try and understand SM Entertainment, but I did my best to explain it all. Yay for effort! >_<;;

Sulli Forced Into Hiatus By Malicious Rumors

I know asking why we can't all get along is a stupid question, but I find myself thinking it during times like now. I don't expect only well behaved or intelligent people to be on the internet. That is asking for too much, even though it would be great. Complaining about f(x) no longer promoting "Red Light" is not the most important issue right now. Sulli is being hurt by malicious rumors to the point of taking a break from the entertainment industry. You rumor spreading netizen, and you know who you are, caused this to happen. Choiza and MCs might not have helped the situation, but it comes right back to those black hearted netizens who only want to cause problems and see other people hurt. The worst part is they will hurt Sulli with rumors and move on to someone else when they are satisfied, which is done with no remorse. Fight back with supportive comments and leave it at that. FORGET THE FINGER POINTING! It is NOT HELPING. I have an extra long blog post on this subject, which had a lot of effort put into it. So, grab a cup of tea/juice/water and read on. Spread the support for Sulli and f(x)! No one should go through what they are going through now. Stay strong, Sulli.

Kpop Travel Playlist!

Blogging websites suddenly changing on you can really test your patience and give you a headache. I can't imagine how annoying it will be from now on, but I'll try to stay on it for my followers. Anyway, I will be traveling soon and I need my Kpop to keep me going. Here is a sample of my playlist, so see what you think of it. Enjoy. ^^

Blackjacks Support Park Bom

Kpop fans undoubtedly know about the recent news concerning Park Bom. I am a Blackjack and I have followed 2NE1 since their debut. I know Bommie would never commit a crime, especially a serious one like drug smuggling. The facts are open to everyone concerning her prescription and now a letter was released explaining her condition from years ago. Never trust rumors and only speak based on facts. Idols have it tough enough without harmful rumors. Don't spread hate and don't believe rumors. YG Family stands united!

Fans Still Upset with Baekhyun and Taeyeon

I guess this storm of drama will take a little longer to pass. I sure hope it doesn't ruin their relationship because I know these upset fans will not be satisfied with that. What do they want? Banishment? Geez. The reasons people present vary and some people are defending their reactions. I feel it is overreacting, but that's my opinion. Let's see what everyone else thinks. Here's a "poll post" to find out more.

Taeyeon Has A Man!

That was very blunt, but it's not wrong. Taeyeon "The Kid Leader" has found a partner in EXO's Baekhyun and some people were caught completely by surprise. You have the usual fan reaction from support, to "Not my Oppa" and of course the Star War referencing 'Nooooo!!!!!" fans. Time will help us all move on, but read on for now. There is more to this issue of idol dating and SM Entertainment than you might suspect. ^_^

Kpop and Concept Changes

Music is a form of art and artists rarely stick to one style for their entire life. Experimentation and change are natural parts of life, but you don't have to like it. That does not mean you turn on your idols because they want to change or try something new. Read on to find out more about this topic and remember to stay classy. :3

The Kpop "Ban Hammer"

As if it wasn't hard enough being an idol in the world of Kpop. An idol has to worry about pleasing fans, their label and even the entire public. Sometimes you even think about pleasing the international audience. Sometimes it is easy to forget that your work has to pass the broadcasting company's standards. This is where the struggle begins and sometimes their reasons for banning an idol's hard work makes no sense. Read on to find out what is going on this time and more about this issue overall.

After School Fans Feel Left Out In The Cold

You can't please everyone, but fans of Kpop groups have a bad habit of letting their emotions control them and using their heads later. Sometimes they never use their heads and I am glad to be part of the percentage that does use their heads. Misunderstandings can easily happen, so it is best to ask for explanations before making demands. Find out more about this situation in my latest entry here.
