I got a good chuckle out of this.

I’m not sure the answer to that. I just know that when I was in high school which was around 2008-2011 the groups that were debuting at the time were considered second generation. So groups like 2PM and SHINee are referred as second generation idols. Groups like TVXQ are first generation and they debut in 2003. I have…

So the agency’s they’re under can make a bunch of money. Also, the Kpop industry is so congested with so many groups that they’re kind of forced to keep promoting year round or else they’ll just fade into the background and will lose fans. Losing fans means losing money.

Yes, it’s only mandatory for men. I am not sure if women are even allowed to voluntarily sign up. I live in Korea and I only ever see male Korean soldiers. I emphasize “male Korean” because there are also American soldiers of both genders stationed here.

The only real break idols get from the idol life is when they have to enroll in the army. At least the males.

Kpop idols don’t really take breaks. Unless you’re a male and you have to go to the army. This “break” will probably be devoted to making new music and preparing to debut that new music. Kpop groups are known to put out multiple albums or mini albums a year. 

The police tried to get an arrest warrant on Seungri but a judge blocked it. So it seems that way.

You forgot to mention that CNBLUE member Lee Jonghyun was also a part of that Kakao (Korea’s WhatsApp) group chat. CNBLUE is also under the same agency as FTISLAND.

This is actually a very common thing in South Korea. It’s called couple look. Couples will match anything from hats, winter puffer jackets, sneakers and t-shirts. Some couples will even have the same phone cases, prescription glasses anything really.

This article was made for me! I just finished Girls and Boys in the City and have started stalking certain members on Instagram. I’ve also noticed that John Mulaney follows some of the members from that season. He must be a fan.

I live in South Korea and I am so happy the foreign media is finally covering this. This has been happening in Korea for such a long time and authorities don’t do much about it or care to. Now that these topics are being written about outside of Korea it has made the Korean government scramble to put an end to this.…

I don’t know if this will get anyone’s attention since I am late to this post. I live in South Korea where last year this make up brand Missha came out with a limited cushion compact that used Frida Kahlo’s name to promote it. In Korea they only offer two shades of foundation, pale 1 and pale 2. I felt offended that…

Is this a common thing in the US? I’m American but I live in Asia. I’ve traveled to other Asian countries and have never seen a passenger bring an emotional support animal on board.

Right!? I live in South Korea where it is extremely common to wear masks. I’ve been wearing one everyday this winter. It’s a nuisance but I haven’t gotten sick and it keeps my face warm.

I used to subscribe to Teenvogue when I was in high school and I had started reading the magazine since junior high. I used to bring my magazines to school to show my best friend. I eventually outgrew the magazine once I got to college but I still kept my copies until I moved abroad and gave them to my best friend.…

I live in South Korea where everyone wears Crocs. EVERYONE. I’m talking from little kids to grown ass men and not just old men but guys in their twenties. It’s something that both horrifies me and fascinates me.
