Let's approach the good points of 2014 first.
From SM's side, one of the only good news is the debut of Red Velvet. To be honest, as a Sone, i didn't think Red Velvet was that great and also, along with other Sones, made fun of their name "Red Velvet", yet, after their debut, they literally made me go everyday i shock shock .
First of, their visuals, expected of SM, their visuals are really good. Irene, also the oldest among the four of them, was an ulzzang before her debut, but do not look down on the rest of them, their visuals are all really good.
Second, their vocalist, Wendy, also my bias, when she went Shine on me, Let it shine on me~ . wow. I was literally shining every single light i could access to on her. Also, I recently found her soundcloud, which she already closed which is highly doubted to be due to SM making her do so. Also, she was in a audition that CUBE and Koreaboo did and got into the finals but sadly, was not recruited.
Check out her Fantastic Baby cover : D
Seulgi is also a good vocalist, i heard her before her debut on Henry's album, Fantastic. She did a collab with Henry called "Butterfly." She's probably the next best vocalist in Red Velvet right after Wendy. Check out Butterfly
"Fan : Do you like Chicken or do you like me ?
Joy : what are you saying you fart?
Fan : so is it me or chicken? ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Joy : Eat Fart ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ"
Joy ah....
Also, how can we ever forget about Wenrene, My OTP in Red Velvet. I don't know what made me ship them, maybe Nas (You twitter sones should know her well) ? In anyways, they're so cute together /fangirls/
Next of, The Debut of Taemin.
Bbam Bbam Bbam Bbam.
Danger~ Who can ever deny such a mysterious man like Taemin in Danger. I fell in love with the song at first listen ( is that even a phrase ) , everyone's favourite part just gotta be the bbam bbam bbam part, like who wouldn't bounce to that. Listening to the Album, here's a song I think is really good from the album other than Danger : Ace .
Now Stop, and Rewind~
Abs.... /drools/ Coughs, back to the subject. Zhoumi from SJ-M finally came out with a solo. RewindRewindRewindd~ One of my favourite parts of the whole album is that there are Chinese and Korean songs in it and also... Zhoutoriaaaaa~ and that leads me to the song I want to suggest : Loving You.
First of, Kris leaving SM, I'll be very honest, I'm not a very big fan of EXO but I'm not a hater of them, I'm a hater of their fans (Not all but some) . In my view, losing a leader shows a lot. A Leader is supposed to be the one who leads the rest of the members and also holds them close, losing Kris is like losing the backbone of EXO M. Also, there's no way that Kris left because EXO wasn't doing well, EXO is one of the biggest boy group out there. There's another point I want to bring up but let's go to next point first.
Now the point that I wanted to bring up, why is it always the Chinese members leaving? Let's be honest, we all wondered this before when the two of them left. I'm not sure about this but why is it always the Chinese members leaving? There are also rumours of Tao going to start a lawsuit. To be honest, I don't know the entertainment world well so I wouldn't know this. Maybe they couldn't handle how stressful being an idol is, we have all seen glimpses of how hard those Idols trained. Maybe they overworked themselves, causing all the health problems we've been seeing from them, but we will never really know would we?
So let's support all 12 guys no matter what they do.
Now... To one of Sone's worst nightmare... Jessica's suspension from SNSD. /cries/
Why I say suspension and not leaving? That's because she's under a contract and she cannot be removed from SNSD, but they suspended her from doing any group activities with the rest of them. On the first few days, It was a stage of denial, crying all like no no no, it's got to be a joke but we have to accept that it's the truth after awhile. Let's move to Jessica's note on Weibo, Let's be honest here, if we didn't see the note before we saw the news, we would possibly think that Jessica left on her own accord but what made it worse was the note. The note that said that she was forcefully not allowed to perform with the group anymore, and the decision was made by the members. Sones will agree with me here that the nine of them have too much affection between each other to make Jessica leave but then, it may be true that they made her leave not for their own benefit, but for Jessica's. Jessica has been busy with Blanc & Eclare , even though she made appearances on most of the performances while some members were busy with acting, the members might find that Jessica have been really tired and they wanted Jessica to have a break from either one. Like Jessica said, she was told to choose either her brand or the group. She couldn't choose but there's a reason behind it, She would have chosen the group but she had too many people that she made deals with for Blanc & Elcare, and if she were to end B & E , she would have to pay a huge sum of money.
But, like I said, we will never know what really happened.
But... Let's continue to support the nine of them in whatever they do.
Finally, Let's wish for a better 2015 : D
