Twitter is stupid.

[Plum]

Best point so far.

*Tweets it to Wil Wheaton*

[Farrah]

@Plum - it's all good, haha. I assumed you were talking to me because usually when I make a post like my previous one, people tend to jump to conclusions. :)

In other news, everyone has forgotten about Jenny Hyun in favor of getting enraged about Block B being dicks in Thailand, Nichkhun of 2PM bitching at Block B for being dicks in Thailand, and Dongho jumping on the anti-Block B bandwagon because he's trolling in the deep. LOL Kpop.

[Plum]

Block B acted like jerks. Actually, no... they acted like immature teenage boys. Shocking, considering they're immature teenage boys.

Also I take EXO's first single (or prologue, whatever) as a sign Teddy Riley has the ability to not suck. Amazing.

[Anderei]

I just have to say that you know you suck when 2PM calls you out for being a douche.

There's also a list of all the thus far scheduled comebacks:

[Shoujo Q]

Girl's Day aren't dead, YAY!

Buu, have to wait till May for Secret!

I wonder how Kara will do. Park's throat surgery must not be THAT bad if they are still going to come back in October.

[Anderei]

It's not as if anyone expects amazing lives from Kara anyway.

[Ap2000]

A whole schedule list for these Mini-"Comebacks" ? HAHA
Is this official or just speculation ?

Either way, it's bizarre.

[sadude]

JHDKLAHSFKLJANDKJN SON DAMBI.

[Anderei]

I would totally be on board with a new Son Dambi album/single if this was still 2009 or earlier. Everything since then has been so disappointing.

Some of them are official, but my friend told me a lot of it is just rumor :/

Girls Day, Secret, U-Kiss, and most of the March and April ones are official I think.

Man, don't kill my hopes with your "reality".

But Queen was the only thing she's released since '09, right?

[Anderei]

That, and the super lame Pledis Christmas song. They've really dropped the ball with promoting her lately. Really, they've sort of dropped the ball with everything that isn't OC or Uee.

And I had NO idea she was going to be 29 this year. I always assumed she was younger.

[Shoujo Q]

I thought Queen was the best thing since ever. It's my jam!

Apparently they built a K-pop store in the Woodfield mall pretty close to my house. I found them on Facebook and it looks kinda interesting, but I don't know what capacity this store runs on, if they have legit merchandise or shitty Chinese copies or something, so for those reasons alone, I want to go check it out. They also sell clothing that's supposed to be related to K-pop, but it seems they would be sparse on official merchandise, from what I can tell in the posts I've read about it. It seems they're also based off a website that you can shop from, Kpopamerica.com, but I'm interested to see what they actually have there, even though I know 95% of it is going to be crap I don't care about and newer releases from the popular artists.

I heard they were supposed to make another right down the street from my house in the city I live in, but I can't find any evidence of that anywhere. Has anyone heard of this store, K-pop America? They seem like they might have locations elsewhere, but there are 2 in North Chicagoland already.

[Anderei]

Do you live in California? There's a lot of kpop stores there and they're all legit from what I've heard, although I don't know specific names. Kpop stuff is pretty cheap too. I'd check it out.

[Ap2000]

What's up with the asterisks ?

[Molly]

PO from Block B was hospitalizing after having a breakdown because netizens started a petition for the members to commit suicide :l

[Anderei]

What's up with the asterisks ?

They don't mean anything, I just copied and pasted. This is how they posted it.

Gaon's chart for the top 100 albums of 2011:

04. 220,442 - JYJ - In Heaven

Oh my god, JYJ is actually relevant?! I'm so happy for them!! I was really afraid they fell into absolute obscurity and no one cared about them anymore...

PO from Block B was hospitalizing after having a breakdown because netizens started a petition for the members to commit suicide :l

Someone should buy me a ticket to S. Korea so I can sit these people down and give them a serious talk. This level of ignorance is getting to be intolerable.

[Anderei]

They're selling, but for the most part actual companies won't have anything to do with them.

Also, why was the petition against PO? I was under the impression that Zico was the one that offended everyone.

[Molly]

There were multiple petitions against every member I believe. And people were pissed at the way all of the boys acted, just extra pissed at Zico.

[strawberryjam]

There's also a list of all the thus far scheduled comebacks:

Shinhwa?

OMG, me and Minwoo are still engaged.
It's really creepy, but I used to have a super crush on this guy at my school that looked like Minwoo.

[Rally]

I love how pretty much anything within the Korean idol industry tends to get completely out of hand because of netizens and their collective lack of a life. If anyone shows the slightest sign of being an imperfect human being, thier lives are slowly destroyed by the internet.

Have to say that Block B nor thier company have been handling the whole ordeal very well, though. Zico shaving his head means squat, and as much as I feel for P.O., I couldn't be totally surprised if this turned out to simply be a pity move.

[aine]

The one time I mistakenly open a thread in the K-Pop section instead of clicking "Mark All Read" and this is what I find.

[Plum]

I will never understand how a proper response to someone being insensitive about loss of life is wishing death on them. Way to be equally immature. I believe Nichkhun tweeted something to that effect, too.

As an aside, while there's no arguing they were disrespectful during the interview, I read a clarification of context somewhere about how the infamous 6,000 won comment was not in direct response to how much Zico would donate to Thai flood victims. This doesn't change that it was a VERY poorly timed joke, but it helps a little, I guess. They still should have been more professional.

Edit: Haha! Go get him, aine! He's stealin' your lady's heart!

Let's look at a very small sample of the things these guys have been putting up with since the incident.
1. “For doing their interview like that, Block B and their fans should all just jump off a cliff.”

2. “Why hasn’t Block B thrown themselves off a building yet?”

3. “If you want to apologize, you should do it by throwing yourselves off a building. You’re not doing anything by shaving your head. This will all be over if you kill yourselves.”

4. “Who cares about him shaving his head, they’re better off just killing themselves. No one will know when they die anyway because they’re such nobodies.”

5. “How about you all just cut yourselves through the stomach and die.”

6. “Just die and delete your life, this is unforgivable.”

7. “Don’t think about reflecting on your actions, just disband and never come back again.”

8. “Can anyone give me the link to their suicide petitions?”

9. “It’d be better for one member to just die.”

10. “Every morning, I check to see if Block B committed suicide. No news yet…”

11. “Go jump off the Han River. Nah… don’t do that, they’ll pollute the river then.”

12. “I’ll donate $6 to funeral services if the leader commits suicide.”

== After P.O. gets admitted to the hospital and people get sympathetic ==

13. “Why are people sympathizing with him? You think this is bad, don’t shit yourself. Block B fuckers, just go kill yourself, I really recommend that.”

14. “You guys are fucked now, I swear I will stick a knife in your stomach.”

15. “Cut off your dicks.”

16. “Get your smelly asses out of my screen, you trash. I’ll stick a gas tank up your hole.”

17. “Let’s rip their bodies up and send it to Thailand as our apology.”

18. “I really want to stab them deep in the chest.”

19. “If they’re really sorry, they shouldn’t show it by shaving their heads but by shaving their brains with a chain saw.”

Have you ever been bullied? Like seriously bullied? Because I was, and I had people telling me to kill myself, and I had a complete breakdown and landed myself in therapy, and still to this day have problems with it. So I honestly fail to see how an 18 year old kid having a break down is a pity ploy.

You should now declare one of the K-Pop hotties your former waifu.

Or do what Plum said.

@Molly; Wow, it's like reading an internet hate thread on an image board, except for this is pretty much out in the open (twitter and the likes I guess ?).

[Plum]

Ugh, insanity. Those are all awful.

[Molly]

Shit like this is awful. Stuff like this is the reason so many celebrities have committed suicide. And yet, no one is doing anything about it. I don't even like Block B, and when I watched the interview, I thought they were being little assholes. But what kind of person tells another person to kill themself?
