Korea ranked #1 on Internet & smartphone usage

Article: "Korea, the most 'connected society' in the world... Ranked #1 on Internet & smartphone usage"

Source: Yeonhap via Naver

1. [+2583, -58] Communication is becoming more convenient but we're becoming more lonely.

2. [+1824, -261] It might be the most connected society in the world but most users are prone to getting brainwashed. Too much trend-following and witch-hunting.

3. [+1565, -48] Facebook and Instagram are perfect for showing off, bluffing, and acting emotional. It's the ultimate culture of faking. Life is tiring with people caring about how they look on the outside rather than the interior aspects.

4. [+506, -19] The problem is that it has more negative effects than positive effects.

5. [+80, -1] To put it positively, we're #1 on smartphone usage. To put it negatively, we're #1 on smartphone addiction.

Rosé's reaction when she was asked if Yang Hyun Suk is her ideal type

Pann: Rosé's reaction when she was asked if Yang Hyun Suk is her ideal type

1. [+110, -1] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ She quickly makes a heart at the end ㅋㅋ

2. [+89, -0] The video's funnier ㅋㅋㅋㅋ You have to listen to the sound, she's like "eooinggg"

3. [+88, -0] Can people not post stuff like this because it's too cute and makes me want to become a fan.

4. [+32, -0] So funny how disgusted she looks ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Cute ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+20, -0] Crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Rosé-ya... What's with the question? Yang Hyun Suk as ideal type? Ew...

6. [+19, -0] I can understand acting cold towards that ㅋㅋㅋㅋ How can they ask a terrifying question like that?

Do guys also get jealous of other guys' looks?

Pann: Do guys also get jealous of other guys' looks

1. [+93, -0] I read that guys, even among friends, have an unspoken hierarchy. So you will never be jealous of a guy who's a higher rank, no matter how well they're doing. But when a guy who's a lower rank is doing well, you'll be jealous. It's similar for girls but for girls, all of them are a similar rank, not a hierarchy. So when one of them starts exceeding, they'll be jealous and when one of them starts falling, she becomes an easy target. It's still a stereotype, don't trust it too much.

2. [+89, -3] It's true that they call an ugly man manly and a handsome man feminine ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I've seen guys calling a Ha Sungwoon lookalike feminine and calling a Go Changsuk lookalike manly ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+48, -29] I've barely seen guys being jealous of handsome looks.

4. [+42, -1] What do you mean men don't get jealous? I know an oppa who's really handsome. His eyes are as pretty as Park Jihun's. But he doesn't look feminine, he has dark skin, and he's just really handsome. And I've seen another fat, ugly oppa saying he doesn't find him handsome. It made me speechless.

5. [+32, -0] If guys call a guy feminine, it means the guys is 100% handsome ㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+29, -3] Guys care about their athletic and gaming abilities much more than their looks.

7. [+23, -1] I'm a guy and I can tell you that a lot of guys are confident with their looks. Even my friend who's ugly said he knew he was considered handsome, which freaked me out.

8. [+21, -0] I actually felt that guys' jealousy and inferiority complex are more scary.

Park Jin Young says he will debut 2nd Twice with only Japanese members

"This group is different from Twice. You can consider this project as Twice with only Japanese members. They will debut in the second half of next year the earliest or in 2020 the latest."

"A boy group 'Boy Story' is of 6 Chinese members whose average age is 13. They debuted 2 weeks ago. They charted #1 on QQ Music Video chart. I believe they're the future of K-pop."

Article: JYP, "We're producing 'Twice' of Japanese members only, will debut in 2020 the latest"

Source: E Daily via Naver

1. [+1811, -28] How is this K-pop when it's all Chinese members and Japanese members?

2. [+552, -55] He's out of his mind since he believes in a weird religion. Why is he focusing on foreigners, tsk tsk.

3. [+467, -23] There were Somi, Ryujin Yeji, Chaeryung, and etc. When are they going to debut, then? Is it because of Twice? Still, JYP should debut them before it's late.

4. [+307, -8] What are they doing when they have domestic trainees like Somi? What are they thinking? You don't need a group with only Japanese members.

5. [+193, -13] Twice's promotions should never be affected by this group's debut.

6. [+72, -1] It might be the future of JYP but not the future of K-pop.

7. [+45, -1] He cured the pain of the failure of American advancement by Twice's successful Japanese advancement. Now he's completely into the Japanese market since it brings money ㅋㅋ

8. [+46, -3] Twice's success is from luck rather than from Park Jin Young. If Six Mix debuted as it was originally planned, there wouldn't have been Twice. If the Japanese debut group debuted, there wouldn't have been Twice, either. Because both groups were cancelled, they roughly made a group Twice which happened to hit daebak. And yet he's talking as if he produced Twice with the strategy of mixing Korean and foreign members. The group he produced strategically was Miss A, not Twice.

SM's idols are struggling recently?

Taeyeon - Didn't do well digitally
SHINee - Popularity declined since their peak
NCT - No digital success / no popularity
EXO - Struggling since Kokobop
Red Velvet - Mixed opinions
Super Junior - Every song doesn't do well
TVXQ - ???
-

Pann: SM is also done

1. [+138, -127] They're not done yet... The thing that's done is NCT.

2. [+136, -10] Lee Soo Man can destroy your artist at once.

3. [+129, -46] When will NCT be popular?

4. [+79, -8] SHINee is in their 11th year, they're still doing well considering that. They always charted-in and won  #1 a few times.

5. [+71, -3] Except NCT and Red Velvet on the list, all of the groups were top idols. Since EXO, Lee Soo Man became too experimental. Their production and senses are good but they're relying too much on it. They need to start considering the public more.

6. [+57, -10] Do you want to know a fact? Taeyeon, SHINee, Super Junior, TVXQ, and EXO were once the top idols. Soon NCT will become one.

7. [+53, -6] My bias group SHINee is in their 11th year, I think they're doing fantastic. Look at their achievements so far.

8. [+50, -23] What? Since when did EXO struggle? Kokobop's results were good enough to win a digital award ㅋㅋ

9. [+42, -8] SM is still doing well despite all that~

10. [+39, -1] Do you think Taeyeon, SHINee, Super Junior, and TVXQ need to care about the results?

11. [+37, -10] People say EXO has been struggling since Kokobop but their physical sales are always better than the previous year's ㅋㅋㅋ

12. [+35, -3] If selling 300K is a flop, then how much do you have to sell to not be called a flop?

13. [+29, -3] The thing that ruined NCT is the structure of the group that no one can understand. The only known members are Taeyong and Mark.

14. [+28, -10] Honestly, I don't look forward to SM's female idols. Everybody knows that SM's current trainees are shit. They lost all of their good trainees to other companies. There's no future for SM without a proper trainee.

Does an idol group's name matter?

Pann: Group name doesn't matter vs. It matters, you have to name it well

1. [+152, -39] In the past, idol groups were always in English but people changed their minds after BTS and GFriend.

2. [+149, -46] Am I the only one who thinks EXO and Twice are really pretty names? I really think these two groups have good names.

3. [+115, -23] The English names must sound funny to English-speaking people. Seventeen (17), Blackpink (colors), Bigbang (space explosion), NCT (new city), Twice (twins)...

4. [+84, -0] Everything aside, Gugudan is the worst... I don't understand what they were thinking.

5. [+61, -0] There was an idol group named K-much. Since then, I realized you have to be considerate to name a group.

6. [+42, -0] I don't necessarily think English names sound fancy.

7. [+42, -0] Am I the only one who's embarrassed by Konglish group names?

8. [+39, -5] I just wish they won't use common words. When I have to search up the words, I only get idol results. And Bulletproof Boys' Scout is considered fine because they're called BTS in English but I don't think it's a good name, either. I prefer unique hangul names like Bolbbalgan4. Some people mention 2NE1 but there was already a group named 21. That's why they changed it to 2NE1.

9. [+34, -0] If the group name is weird, they'll be made fun of even if they're popular. So why can't they just give a good name from the start?

10. [+33, -0] Gugudan is a big no... The CEO of Gugudan told his friend the idea of Gugudan. The friend later remembered the name, which is why the CEO decided to go with it. But the friend didn't forget the name because it was shocking, not because it's a good name.

Groups that the public knows including the members' names?

Pann: Groups that the public knows including the members' names

(Bigbang, TVXQ, SHINee, Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls, Sistar, Blackpink, Girl's Day)

1. [+92, -3] I know Blackpink's songs but I don't know the members.

2. [+60, -4] Isn't it Bigbang, TVXQ, SHINee, Girls' Generation, and Wonder Girls?

3. [+52, -10] Are you a Blackpink fan?

4. [+15, -1] The public might recognize Blackpink's songs but they don't know the individual members.

5. [+14, -13] Blackpink? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The fans are so annoying these days.

6. [+10, -0] I'm a Blink but I don't think it's true. The OP must've wrote this post to bring hate. Success is not the priority for Blinks and yet these result-obsessed bugs like Yang Hyun Suk are pushing too much.

7. [+10, -1] I only agree with Bigbang, TVXQ, and Girls' Generation. The rest of the groups are not known individually. I stan a lot but I don't know all those members, so how can non-fans know them?

8. [+9, -1] Isn't it only Girls' Generation, Bigbang, and Sistar?

9. [+7, -0] For my mom, it's only TVXQ, Bigbang, and Wonder Girls.

Daniel's reactions before & after 'Germany vs. Mexico' match

(Before the match) "Guys, 'Germany vs. Mexico' match starts soon. It's the first match for both countries. I'm sure a lot of people are nervous and excited right now. Please cheer for Mexico, not Germany since Germany doesn't need any cheering."

(During the match, with Nik) "Guys, I don't think this is going well. Stop cheering for Mexico and please cheer for Germany."

(After the match) "Of course, you have to be modest."

2. [+853, -13] Christian: "So funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"

3. [+722, -13] "I don't think this is going well" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+55, -2] A German becomes funny when Germany loses ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+46, -2] The match was a slaughter... Our defense won't even be able to hold up for more than 3 minutes.

6. [+35, -2] I want to see Christian and his friends' reactions.

7. [+33, -3] Alberto: " ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"

8. [+32, -2] Who said Germans are boring? They're so funny when they lose like this.

9. [+32, -3] Daniel doesn't know much about soccer, though. Anyways, I wish Abnormal Summit would air again. It was one of my favorite shows.

10. [+31, -3] Mexico was no joke since the start. I still didn't expect Germany to be defeated...

Pann: Sleep hours that make you feel refreshed

1. [+148, -1] The only available choice for me is 4 hours 30 min.

2. [+80, -0] I think it depends. I just have to sleep for a long time to feel refreshed.

3. [+33, -0] Wow, it gives me goosebumps. I slept for 6 hours before and it was weird how I didn't feel tired. Today, I slept for 4 hours and 30 min and I was confused how I'm not feeling tired. And I'm reading this post ㅋㅋ

4. [+27, -0] If you sleep for 4 hours and 30 min, you might feel refreshed in the morning but you'll be very sleepy in the evening and your eyes will sting for the whole day.

5. [+17, -0] Bio rhythm. 1.5 hour is the cycle of REM sleep. Search it up if you're bored.

6. [+15, -0] I feel the most refreshed when I go to bed at 12AM and wake up at 12PM.

7. [+13, -3] I heard that it's the best to sleep for even hours like 6, 8, and 10 hours.

8. [+12, -0] You might feel refreshed but you'll feel tired.

9. [+10, -0] The average time it takes to fall asleep is 14 minutes. And this info is true, too.

10. [+8, -0] It's really effective.

Pann: People that you used to be confused with but not anymore

1. [+129, -15] I still get these two confused... It's Heo Yi Jae and Park Hee Bon. They look the same, I still wonder if they're twins.

2. [+104, -11] I really agree except Yuri&Yoona and Bora&Hyorin ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Especially Park Bogum and Lee Hyun Woo are so confusing.
