What happens when you are a singer and fail the college entrance exam??
Some will be sent to NYC for a vacation, some will be forced by their father to quit the singing career entirely and sit at home study for the whole year for the next year exam!

Unfortunately, the latter is the Kara member Kim Sung Hee current status! *total outch*
Our heart goes to her and all the Kara fans who have been anxiously waiting for the group album and their comback for the past six months!

Meanwhile, DPS speakers announced that they will launch an audition through MNet in March to find 2 new members for Sung Hee’s replacement! *why two?*
As what happens to the all the recorded songs already? …
well there seems to be a word for a mini album released in April as well!

Any thoughts?

[DAMMIT ALL! BoA was gonna perform in Korea AGAIN! FUKC FUKC FUKC!!!!!]
Despite the rainy weather around Asia, the MKMF awards still continued.

Ahem, anyway. Let’s get to the point. By now, if you’re a big Korean Entertainment fan and is with it in all the latest news, you probably know about all the shock and rage from the fan(girls) whose idols did not win. Before I continue, see for yourself what the award show was like with the >>Compiled MKMF videos<< I compiled.

Well, let’s start with the DBSK fans. DBSK and BoA were stuck in Japan and could not make it to the award ceremony and perform. Poor fans! But what angered them the most is that DBSK didn’t win anything this year, quite a shocker yes (well to the fangirls at least)? Sources say that maybe it really wasn’t the weather’s fault… but more like the boys being too tired from a performance they did on the same day. If they had flied to Korea right after, it would have been too late for preparations. Lucky for them that the weather just happened to be bad so they could make an excuse not to come!
The weather was not so bad in Japan, but it was in Korea (or so they say…). Supposedly bad enough that flights to Korea were canceled, or that it was too dangerous for celebs like BoA and DBSK to be taking.
Can’t blame this one on BoA though, for her performances were done in the 16th and not on the same day. DBSK needs a better schedule manger. Their fangroup, Cassiopeia, fought with the guard because they didn’t come! M.net said that there was not a ‘board post’ that ensure DBSK for attend the event, so DBSK’s fans don’t have to make a big drama for this. Mr. SM on the other hand said, “Today on MKMF are invited some of our artists like Super Junior, CSJH and SNSD” so the absence of TVXQ wont cause a lot of controversy.”

After seeing the performance list, Tablo and BoRa were not included in the ANYBAND performance. Which was quite odd seeing as Epik High was there for Tablo to be able to participate. Here’s the set list of what it should have been:
Min Hyori + Jung Inwoo – Award presenters
Shin Dongyap + Lee Dahae – Emcees
Lee Yunjung - Designer
Park Jinyoung + Wonder Girls - Combined Dance Performance
Seo Nyeo Shi Dae + Wonder Girls + Black Pearl + Kara - Combined Dance Performance
Gackt (Japanese rock artist)
Zhen Yuan Chang (Taiwan artist)
TVXQ
Super Junior
BoA
Big Bang
Cheon Sang Ji Hee
Epik High
Seo Inyoung
Cheo Shinsung (Supernova)
Lee Minwoo
ANYBAND - BoA + Xiah Junsu - Performance
Younha
Fly to the Sky

Now, it’s my favorite time… the rant. Yes, and after you read this, you can share with me all your thoughts.

I’ll start off with the good, since there were people who deserved it. To make it easier for you, I shortened my reasons (ya’ll know how much I like to write :D) Who’s on the list:
SG Wannabe – Come on. These boys? What group can compete with such ballad vocal? No competition there.
Epik High (for Hip Hop artists) – With awesome writing skillz and flow, it’s no disappointment here(I only say that because FreeStyle didn’t come out with anything)
Clazziquai – Can anyone really compete with them this year? They’re so damn catchy. Humming Urban Stereo would have been a close call though.
(Definitely ma girl) Younha – Come on, piano skillz? Vocal skillz? Writing skillz? Even language skillz? And now dancing skills: >>1<< >>2<<
Wodner Girls (best new female) – But then again, it could have been anyone like KARA or SNSD really. Black Pearl - no, Baby Vox Rev - no.
SeeYa – What other group out there that isn’t new deserves this?
Big Bang (for best male group and song of the year) – There’s no doubt about it. They were all over the media this year. I think they even deserved other awards…

So you’ve heard how SuJu was supposed to win the award that BIG BANG won, and the award that SuJu won was an award that someone else won. And now news has hit that there was a mistake, etc etc. Honestly, why is SuJu Mad? Because they won an award they didn’t deserve and didn’t get the one that they paid for? This is the exact reason why Minwoo and Shin Hye stepped out of MKMF, they knew it as rigged! MKMF awarded those who had great achievement lately, not the whole year. If they did award for achievement through out the year, it would have been KARA’s award that Wonder Girl’s got. And where’s Fly to the Sky? Don’t tell me they don’t deserve something. Kim Ji Eun? As a new artist, she’s been blowing people away!
Which brings me back to my first topic. Bad weather? Of course not! They knew this was going to be a joke of an award show! If the weather was so bad in Seoul, BoA and the boys could have took a flight to another airport in Korea and drove there!
Now, you may be asking yourself, “If it’s rigged, then why do they even bother to make poles?” Well the more interactive shows like these are, the more people will watch to see if their idols won.

And Super Junior as ‘ARTISTS OF THE YEAR’ ARTIST?! Dose anyone KNOW what an artist is?! FOR THE LOVE OF YO MAMA, artists are not a bunch of boys who sing with no over the top talent! Tell me, ANYONE, especially you crazy fangirls, EXACTLY what is their talent? What is it that they contribute to the ART of music? To the ART of dancing?! For heaven’s sake, even their hair isn’t a work of art! Their fashion is far from it as they all dress alike! And their faces look like abstract to me! Gah, I am furious. It’s bad enough that they took home a bunch of a awards, but it angers me that they got ARTIST of the year! If BIG BANG won this, but lost ‘MALE GROUP OF THE YEAR’, I would have been fine. I probably would have still preferred BIG BANG for both, but at least I know that a group deserved something for their art for G-Dragon actually wrote the song that got them the attention they so deserved.
Only awards SuJu deserved were the ‘AUCTION NETIZEN POPULARITY’ and ‘MOBILE POPULARITY’ awards. Why? Because there are so many freaking fans on the internet and mobile, that’s why. Plus, remember how many ’supporting’ fans SuJu had when they boycotted Henry joining? (Oh~ the love~ *eye roll*) End of statement, that’s a fact.

That being said, here’s my list of those who are undeserved:
SuJu – ‘Artists’ my ass.
IVY – No, not because of her so called “sex scandal” (it ain’t a scandal till there’s proof. So show me the goods already!) but because I don’t see her as talent. Kim Ji Eun or Lee Jung Hee totally deserved it.
Shinhwa – OKAY fucking seriously. Not because I’m a BoA fan, but WHERE in the hell is Shinhwa bigger than BoA overseas? More people know BoAin the U.S., her career is bigger in Japan (it IS the biggest Korean career in Japan), and China knows her as well. Let’s not forget the South Asians who praise her too! I think maybe even RAIN (as much as I hate him) might have deserved this!

To quote someone else, “BEST ARTIST AS IN ARTIST THAT “SINGS” BEST?
SUPER JUNIOR CAN’T EVEN SING. LOLS. THAT’S THE FACT.
THIS IS WAY OVERATED. MNET HAS ITS SENSE OF HUMOUR AS ALWAYS.” – Anonymous

Anyway, enough with that; let’s get to the fun part!
Before the award ceremony, all I would read about in the girl group forums (forums for KARA, SNSD, and Wonder Girls) were voting for the DANCE BATTLE. Being that I’m a fan of the three of them, I couldn’t choose!

My exact thoughts while watching this (I took out the drooling comments ;]):
Uhhh how exactly did BLACK PEARL even get a part when hey didn’t dance?
And SNSD had the same dance from their video… KARA actually used a NEW dance and performed a remix… Wonder Girls came out in gun and interactive way, really confident too.
Competition was definitely between KARA and WG. All the songs were great though. And the Individual dances were good! Nicole danced for KARA, SunYe danced for Wonder Girls, Mika danced for BLACK PEARL, and prodigy HyoYun danced for SNSD/SuShi. Dizzam, you saw how everyone got up for HyoYun? XD
Mika chick messed up in the beginning of the last group dance (you have to watch closely)
Surprised that Sun Ye was the one that danced, and not Ye Eun or SooHee (whom by the way is looking a lot less…weird looking but more like really pretty).
But ‘Best dance’ award goes to CSJH? I mean, I know Stephanie is awesome, and all four of them are hot… but the bigger topics this year were KARA, Wonder girls, and SNSD…. As much as I wanted KARA to win, I really thought with Wonder Girl’s ‘Tell Me’ spreading like the black plague, that it would win!

In the end, the congratulations goes to WONDER GIRLS who took the prize for the dance battle. And I must say, this song from Black Pearl ain’t bad… the first song I heard from them was not my type at all… but I see their voices are really good. But good enough to be with SeeYa and Brown Eyed Girls?
_______________________________________
Trend of the night: FUR. Seriously, everyone and their mama was wearing fur! Even sexy Lee Da Hae wore it for her performance!

Who looked the hottest that night? Lee Da Hae, that’s who. Never mind that her version of I Love Rock and Roll was laughed over by some (I thought it was okay until the chorus…) but admit it. She was hot. Her outfit in yellow… >>was hot<<. Did I mention it was hot?
OH! But let’s not forget that she played the drums! And ya’ll know how much props I give on that.

Other stars of the night:
Nice to see Park Si Yun (from My Girl) in there and looking good and the leader of the Park team on XMAN (sorry, I forget her name!) was looking great as well. And man, Younha came in style! She was looking great AND someone was holding the umbrella for her (talk about pampered!). Unlike Wonder Girls, who had the wind and rain falling on them.
All in all, horrible show. No Se7en, no BoA, no DBSK, not even Hyori!? And Gackt didn’t even perform LAST SONG? —- Wait, why WAS >>Gackt<< there in the first place? XD Why not Angela Aki, Utada Hikaru, Ayumi Hamasaki, YUI or Kamiki Aya? Hell, Morning Musume was there, why not them? Was it because Gackt is such a sexy beast? If so, they should have asked The GazettE to come, since there’s five sexy beasts in there. All young too. Mhhm mhmm *nod nod*
