2011 Golden Disk Awards Nominees.

This list I took from AllKpop.
But I would like to point some flaws from this year GDA, from Grand Prize nominees. Now, I would like to give you explanation of this several categories below from wikipedia.
Album Award is Grand Prize. Awarded to the performer of the best of the best full-length album belong to "Records of the Year".
{Records of the Year are awarded to the performers of top 5 full-length albums of the year.}
Digital Album Award is Grand Prize in Digital Releasing. Awarded to the performer of the best of the best full-length album, mini-album (extended play) or single (which was digital released), belong to "Records of the Year in Digital Releasing".
{Records of the Year in Digital Releasing are awarded to the performers of top 5 full-length album, mini-albums (extended plays) or singles of the year (which was digital released).}
Most Popular Artist Award is Popularity Awards of the Year. Awarded to the performers who gained popularity of the year.

Nah let's see what's strange. [...] is my comment.

Album Award
Presented to the most popular artist based on album sales figures for the year and ratings from judges

- 2PM (Hands Up)
- 4minute (4MINUTES Left)
- Leessang (Asura Balbalta)
- Jay Park (Take a Deeper Look) [1st mini album]
- Brown Eyed Girls (Sixth Sense)
- Sung Si Kyung (The First)
- Super Junior (Mr. Simple)
- SNSD (The Boys)
- Wonder Girls (Wonder World)
- After School (Virgin)
- Lee Seung Gi (Tonight)
- Jang Gi Ha and the Faces (Jang Gi Ha and the Faces)
- B2ST (Fiction & Fact)
- CNBLUE (First Step)
- F.T. Island (Return) [??? mini album]
- f(x) (Pinocchio)
- INFINITE (Over the Top)
- KARA (Step)
- MBLAQ (BLAQ Style)
- miss A (A Class)

Okay, did you see what I found strange? I found 2 nominees with mini albums. Honestly, I don't mind with them being the nominees, I like their songs. But it supposed to be award for full-length album. Wonder why? Me too.
Another thing is there are no TVXQ (HoMin) and JYJ. Some other people protested about no Big Bang too, but I think it's normal since they released a mini album. And I also understand why JYJ isn't on the list since they are blocked like almost everywhere, so no wonder if they are being blocked here too (that's really unfair! argh!). But no TVXQ is strange. They sold more than 200.000 copies for Keep Your Head Down in the first half this year. It's a full album and they are not nominated? If you check Hanteo site now, they are in the top for this week. There's something fishy going on, I think.
So GDA, if you still want to have the honor of Korean Grammy or the most prestigious awards, please fix your way in choosing nominees.

Kpop here.

I'm bored with kpop. Except from my favorite artists, no other group has interesting songs.
Here, kpop almost everywhere. Everyone know about that and some of them become fans. Though there are people who dislike it and saying that "kpop is gay" and stuff. Well, as fans you can't be mad when yourself love HyunSaeng or KyuSaeng moment... like ELF's EunHae.
But most of them talk about Super Junior n SNSD. I don't hate them, but I'm not a fan. When people around you kept talking about the same stuff which isn't interesting for you.. it become boring.
So.... I'm going (back?) to jpop. It never dull. I'm interested in Koda Kumi now. Really like her song for NazoDi opening <3
Back to the topic. In my college, which most of the students are male, there are a lot of SNSD's fans. I'm not gonna call them sone, since I think they like them because of their pretty faces and sexy legs only.
A classmate of mine sometimes randomly sings their song, and he sings it wrongly. He only sings based pn what he hears, probably. My another classmate (a girl) once played The Boys loudly. If you live in Korea where everybody, at least, enjoy kpop, I don't mind. But here, not everyone enjoys it. Sometimes things like that should be enjoyed privately, I think.
Well that's one of reasons for feeling bored of kpop. Gonna add more later.
Oops, 7:23. Should prepare for my 8AM class-_- Gotta go.

SS501 changed, and so did Triple S.

I'm such a lazy girl. Planned to blog this since my last post but just typed it now.
Okay let's get on to the topic.

Dear pretties Triple S fellas, we've changed a lot. Now we have sub-division of fan groups, one for each SS501 members. Henecia, YES, ThanKyu, Jungmin fans (no name decided i think) and Jjunaway. But seems some of them are not Triple S (anymore). Especially from Henecia. Well alot of people agree with me with this matter, and I'm not forcing you to agree too. I've read a Henecia blog.  She stated that she's no longer a Triple S, she'll just stay as Henecia. I don't want to blame her or whatever... And seems some more of people also has the same thought as her. It makes me kinda sad. Well, it's her life and her decision so I respect it.
But it makes me think, if lots of us has the same way of thinking like her and her friends.. that means no Triple S anymore? Which led to possiblity that no SS501 reunion? I don't want that. I also read another fan who said that she's a fans of every member but she is not a Triple S, she wants them to stay as solo singer, not reunited.  So, as you see, a lot of people change. You, whoever else who read this, maybe also change too. I also changed. Everybody changes, but maybe you don't feel the same.
I keep myself updated with each of every member new or tweet and fancams etc, but I no longer feel the "kya kya" feeling as much as when I started to be a Triple S. Maybe because I got bored? Or maybe used to see them? But I still love them. Updating myself regularly with SS501 news had become a habit. Sometimes I feel like I want to stop being a fan but it's hard. I end up coming to them again.
Changes aren't always something good.....but it's not something bad too. Changes bring us forward, to be a better person. I hope everyone who are currently a fan of solo member of SS501...when SS501 come back as 5 later on...you will support them together. And who knows when that time come,  you'll become a Triple S once again, or maybe a new Triple S? :)
