A Little Rant About Kpop Fans (Part 1/?)

     This isn't necessarily something that I should be talking about, but I've just wanted to get what I've been thinking out. I may get hated, called racist, and/or ignorant, but these are the things I think, I'm not saying you have to agree with me. So...what is this rant going to be about? A lot of things actually, mostly revolving around S.M. Entertainment and relating topics.
First off, K-POP Auditions.
What I'd like to say about this is...if you're just wanting to get into a Kpop company because of your bias and wanting to meet him and somehow end up marrying him, please don't audition. Kpop company's judges aren't there to watch you try to meet your bias, they just want to see if you have talent or not. I'm someone who can't make it to a Global Audition for S.M Entertainment or a weekly audition because I live in the Midwest. I am not here to talk about myself, but I'd just like to say that since I can't make it to the auditions, I'm going to soon upload covers onto YouTube in hopes of being recognized for my possible talents of piano or singing. If not, am I going to cry over why I can't sign into my favorite company and meet my bias? NO, I am going to keep trying...because I have a passion for music, not a dream of meeting my bias. Would I like to? Yes, yes I would.
     This brings me slightly off topic, but I find that overly proud people are annoying. I've recently looked at answers on Yahoo! and other places, but what bothers me is when people either ask "Am I beautiful enough?" or they instead just straight out say "I'm talented." Asians, myself being one, do have that sense that we do a lot of bragging, but most Asians find a humbler person more appealing. If you're just telling people about yourself such as facial features, skills, and personality, don't go overboard. Look at yourself from a humbler view, people who are humble will have this charisma to them, don't believe me? Well, most of your favorite Kpop idols may not seem humble, but they are definitely not bragging whenever they can.
     It still annoys me sometimes when people say that S.M. Entertainment is 80% looks and 20 % talent. Have you seen their idols predebut?! They don't look half as good as they do now, so of course the talent scout would've probably seen charisma and/or something special about that person. S.M isn't all about looks. So don't say that all the S.M idols are untalented and only have pretty faces, because there's more to them than just that.
   

Dear S.M. Entertainment,

     I have some questions...First off, I'm about 170 cm and I'm only fourteen, turning fifteen in July. I weigh a little heavier than 53 kg, but I'm planning on working out and exercising to weigh less. I'm also fluent in English and Vietnamese, quite a bit in Spanish, and a little in Korean. I have been playing piano for almost 6 years and have accompanied with masses and concerts, as well as composing few short compositions of my own. I am also currently learning how to play the organ for almost a year. As for singing, I can sing very high, and have reached the high notes in IU's "Good Day." I can also rap, not extremely good at it, but I can still rap. I think I'm alright at dancing, but I'm also not terrible good at it. I do wear glasses though, so is that a problem? I don't think I have the palest skin since I'm Vietnamese, but I have double eyelids, but there's a weird difference with both my eyes, they're kind of different from each other....and I'm not sure why, it just happened one day. I was wondering if uploading my covers on YouTube would ever attract a person from a company...

WILL ANYONE ANSWER MY QUESTIONS!?

My wish is to become the first Vietnamese American trainee at S.M. Entertainment, but living in Minnesota, USA is what's stopping me from being able to audition. I really hope that I'll be able to one day enter the SM Family :)

EXO fans...

As I am now getting deeper and deeper into the kpop world, I realize that EXO fans receive a lot of hate, but some also hate on EXO's sunbaes which I find absurd. I'm a fan of DBSK, Super Junior, SHINee, and EXO. So basically, all of EXO's sunbaes...What I don't understand is why some people find all EXO stans to be annoying, and just downright unlikable. I saw a confession that said "American EXO fans are the worse." Well, excuse me- I've never done anything to even be considered "disgusting." I also heard some fans dislike F(x) and especially Sulli. I'm a huge fan of f(x) and Sulli because of To The Beautiful You. For people to say that ALL Exo fans are like that...no. I feel like EXO is getting a lot of hate because of their fans' actions more than getting hate for their actions. Exo is quite talented, maybe they haven't reached the level that their sunbaes have, but I'd say they're doing quite well. Exo hwaiting!

Here's that one confession I ranted about...

Similarities between 365daband and SHINee

I feel like 365daband is similar to SHINee in many ways...from the number of members to the role of each member..let me explain, keep reading!

Onew (SHINee) and Isaac (365daband)
Both playing the role of the "leader" of the group, they both are very charming in their own ways. They both have amazing vocals that make the ladies all swoon for them, and they both can sing English incredibly well. They both are crazy good looking and they know how to keep their group together and sometimes they make you go "awww, I love you!" 

Taemin (SHINee) and S.T. (365daband) 
So they are the "pretty girly" ones in their group, no offense. They both are the youngest (maknae) in their groups. Also, Taemin and S.T. are both amazing dancers and have had longer hair than the other members..

Minho (SHINee) and Tronie (365daband)
Rappers and full of charisma..these two both fit into this category. Both being the main person to rap in their group. Funny thing is that both weren't actually recruited because of their voices, but for other things at first. Now, I know Tronie recently left 365daband, which makes me feel like 365daband isn't as close as they should be. SHINee has been together for about five years, while 365daband isn't even half of that number of years.

Key (SHINee) and Will (365daband) 
I think that these two are alike because they both are able to speak more than one language. Key is very good in English and Will ironically can sing Korean. There's not much in common among them, but they do have a very fashionable side to them. 

Jonghyun (SHINee) and Jun(365daband)
These two have voices that will make you want to hug the next person you see, haha. They both give off a bad boy kinda vibe, and they both have amazingly cute/adorable sides to themselves. They're the people that have aegyo that makes you go crazy and screaming happily...yup, that's them. 

Vpop Vs. Kpop (Part 1)

To start off, I'd like to say that I am 100% Vietnamese, and I'm very proud to be Vietnamese. 

First off, Training.

How many VPop bands/artists were actually trained before their debut? Only two, or at least one. 365daband and X5. Now these two groups were formed under VAA. Even through 365's training time compared to Kpop training time is like a pebble to a person, they're the best Vpop band around. 

Second, Group/Artist Name

Comparing Kpop group names like 2NE1, SHINee, 2pm, Girl's Generation,etc to Vpopgroups like 365daband, X5 girls, and Mister Band. From these names you can tell that Kpop has unique names that are most of the time, a different way to spell a word. "Twenty One" "21" "Shiny." While when you look at Vpop bands, their names aren't as unique (not meant to be offensive). If you were to search up X5, you'd have a very hard time finding anything about them, then you'd have to try to find "X5 Girls" Or "X5 vpop." It's seriously not a good idea to make it seem like a math term. Sure, you could argue with me and say "what about f(x)?" Well, search f(x)..the first thing that shows up is them. So maybe it has to do with the fact that vpop isn't searched often or shared around. Why is it that most of vpop names have to do with numbers...? Kpop names are more on word and spelling play, which is what makes them pop out more. I also heard about Mi-A from VAA Entertainment...and I have to say.."MIA!?!" That is not a unique name and there is another artist with a similar name, why couldn't they have chosen a unique name. Because out of most vpop artists' names, their names are very common in America and other places, so it's not of any use to use that name to their advantage. Say "Isaac" from 365daband, if you were to search up just his name..you wouldn't find him. But let's take for example, "Onew" from SHINee, you could easily find him...facts like his blood type...hehe
Third, Music Videos. 
Awakening by 365daband was probably the best and advanced vpop  music videos, but it isn't even that close to a music video made by SM Entertainment.
365daband "Awakening" Music Video
There is always a story to vpop music videos (except "Get On The Floor") I get that it's a good idea, but if you focus on how sometimes kpop videos are bright colors, freaking awesome dance moves, and a lot of random things. That's what makes people intrigued to start off, then they have good looking guys who know how to sing and dance. 

Tell me what you think by commenting!

While watching TTBY Episode 13

Are you finally going to tell her Tae Joon?! Please do so!
Hahaha, you sent that to the wrong person..hehe.
YES! HOLD ONTO HER ARM, TAE JOON. OMGOSH, PLEASE DO SO JAE HEE...I'M SO JEALOUS OF YOU!
Intense gaze...don't do that please Jae Hee, you seem like you are going to leave :(
Aww, the sticky notes..his voice for the note was adorable..like adorable!!
Stupid commercial on dramafever -_-
Well, I guess I'll just listen to Ring Ding Dong while waiting....
NOW, Back to the show.
Tae Joon's face is so cheeky, it's perfect. Where is he going...? Ohhhh, let's do this Tae Joon! Hwaiting!
He jumped!! Yippee! They're so cute..did you just point to her and got caught, hehe.
Hyun Jae..I have mixed feelings..and oomph..he touched the stick. Tense awkward moment..ottoke?
Perfect Jump goes to...Tae Joon.
The coach yells at Hyun Jae and I sorta feel bad that Hyun Jae only wants to beat Tae Joon and doesn't understand that he needs to do it for himself. And I bet he's not going to beat Tae Joon. Sorry dude.
What's up with the cards..? Tarot reading, how interesting. You can do anything?? Haha, what the heck is wrong with him. Lol.
Eun Gyul...more like Eun Gyullible. HAHAHA, I'M LAUGHING.
They look like they're having quite the fun..Adorable Eun Gyul practicing his own cheer? Gu..
I kinda wish we could see more interactions between Hyun Jae and Jae Hee. What the heck...? Aww, she pretty much saved him..that stupid Hyun Jae.
Commercials again...Ring ding dong, ring ding dong, ring diggi ding diggi, ding, ding, ding!!
Well..I seriously hardly listen to KPOP, most of the time, it's just mostly Korean Drama ost..I'm not complaining..only five minutes more before I have class..that sucks xD

Now she tells him..ooohhh, don't be stupid Tae Joon! Of course Hyun Jae is. Maroon 5 in the background. Aww, Sherlock and Watson. CUTE! The one part of a drama where the character believes anyone that says the person has bad luck..seriously?
..
Anyways, I had to leave for class and I watched the rest on my iPod touch so I wasn't able to write down my thoughts.. sorry!

Hope you liked this random post!
