CHALLENGE2: DAY 28: A k-pop song you never get tired of

2NE1 - HATE YOU

This song is just so cool. End of story. I can go back to this song anytime and it never gets old, well until now.

CHALLENGE2: DAY 24: A picture of a k-pop idol who you think is overrated

Overexposed and overrated are different words that often get confused. K-pop is flooded with over exposed people but rational fans know that most of them are lacking talent here and there. That means these people who are overexposed are not necessarily overrated (talent wise).

An idol I think is overrated is Park Bom. Specially by fans of 2NE1. If I had to say it straight out 2NE1 runs on CL's fumes and her performance skills. Sometimes it seems that the concepts of 2NE1 are meant to fit CL and not the members as a group. Bom's place here is as lead vocalist but her voice is not what it is said to be. I mean, I like her tone to a point but her voice and technique are rather week.

Boom's weakness are lives, and although fans of 2NE1 usually accept it, they die making excuses (although usually legit) for her. They think people are saying that her flaws are a reason to dislike Bom, but it's not. If you like someone then go ahead and like them. There usually is no particular reason to like an idol , but it is not rational to say that they are the best singers out there (ex. my ultimate bias is Minho but I will never say he is a great singer or powerful rapper because that would be a lie).

2NE1 Scaring New Fans Since 2009 -_-

OK so I know 2NE1 is supposed to have their own style and all that, but I can't help thinking their clothes in the following picture looked old, cheap, and have no class. Even though I am sure they are more expensive than anything I could ever own in my closet.

It's even more evident when they are standing beside other idols -_-
See below:

Hyuna (4minute), Minzy, CL, Park Bom, Dara, and Leetuke (Super Junior)

Seriously, If I knew nothing about Kpop and I saw this picture I would think these girls have issues.
They even look extremely creepy. Minzy and Park Bom look particularly scary. CL seems to have escaped the 80's and Dara's hair is just a no no. Furthermore Minzy does not look like an 18 year old -_-

Hyuna and Leetuke look nice and professional since this was the Youtube award ceremony after all -_-
Too bad I can't say the same for 2NE1

So what do you guys think about 2NE1's fashion and outfits ?

Flaxton St. in Korean media !!!

So everyone who watches Simon and Martina know about the infamous FLAXTON ST. It's a street that constantly appears in k-pop videos, probably due to the way they reuse props. So here is a little compilation because I just found another example in Song Joong Ki's and Im Soo Hyung's Pizza Etang Promotions.

By the way, I find this extremely funny.
