WHAT'S YOUR B?

Let's talk about B.A.P a bit.

Okay. So. Dear everyone: B.A.P IS EVERYTHING I WANT FROM KPOP.

There is amazing vocal, frighteningly powerful rap, precision in dance and charisma, and strength and power and explosion and chatarsis, and agression and rock and hip-hop and it's the most perfect mix I've ever seen.
AND THEY ARE ROOKIES. ROOKIES PEOPLE.

WHAT'S YOU A?

TS Ent. gave them a fitting name.

There may be groups I will be loving forever more than I will ever love them, groups I'm more emotionally tied to, but when it comes to music B.A.P beats most of them. I love a lot of music genres but this.... whatever you call this, is my favourite. This is what gives me energy, makes me feel strong and fired-up and ready to fight through life.

WHAT'S YOUR P?

Whatever you label their music or their group, they are kicking ass. In their new video kind of literally, too.
They are the best rookies of 2012 and probably won't get the awards like Block B didn't get it last year because Korea can't swallow this. They want the fakery, cutey, sickly-sweet stuff and people who act perfect and smile all the time and so I guess, Nu'Est or BtoB or EXO or whatever Pledis and DSP and CCM or anybody else debuts this year.

Don't take offense. I don't know B.A.P well enough yet (Tadah and Diary isn't enough to decide) to know how much of the typical idol act they will show as time goes on and this goes for the other forementioned groups. But. I know SME, I know DSP and Cube and CCM and Pledis. I've seen how they acted with their former bands and I can make a pretty appropiate guess.
I also know that elementray schoolers are who watch the music shows in the afternoons and that most fanbases start with the little girls, so many groups are how they are because of them.
I also LOVE more than enough groups who are doing the perfect idol act.

(I could also mention that my first ever kpop group, my forever favourite, the boys I will love forever more than anybody else, were the most perfect kpop idol-group of ever.
You may take notice of how that ended, too.
Yes. I'm talking about TVXQ.)

Conclusion:
B.A.P can make it big if TSE is brave enough to continue with this kind of music. And if the boys can continue to work with each-other in peace and love.

WE GOT THE POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!

DEAR SOPA, PIPA, ACTA AND THE MOTHERFUCKERS BEHIND THESE FUCKING LAWS.
BACK THE FUCK OFF.

SOMEBODY SAID THAT WE PEOPLE NEVER REALLY STOOD UP FOR THE WORSENING EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE OR HEAVY TAXES BUT WE STAND UP AGAINST LAWS TRYING TO RUIN AND CONTROL THE INTERNET.
AND THAT IS TRUE.
DO YOU KNOW WHY?

BECAUSE WE LIVE IN AN AGE WHERE WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PEOPLE WE DON'T KNOW. SOMETIMES EVEN OUR CLOSEST RELATIVES AREN'T MORE THAN STRANGERS.
BECAUSE WE LIVE IN AN AGE WHERE WE ARE JUDGED EVERY MOTHERFUCKING MOMENT. THROUGH THE TOUSENDS OF YEARS HUMANITY MADE SO MANY LAWS AND RULES ABOUT HOW A HUMAN SHOULD ACT OR BE THAT SOCIETY BECAME THE MOST BLOODTHIRSTY, BRUTAL, BLOODY KILLER OF ANYBODY WHO IS DIFFERENT.
BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A BAD WORLD, IN A BAD SOCIETY, BETWEEN THE WRONG PEOPLE.

BECAUSE THE INTERNET IS SOMETIMES THE LAST PLACE WHERE WE CAN BE HONEST WITHOUT BEING JUDGED. WHERE WE CAN BE OURSELVES WITHOUT FACING HATRED OR BEING PUSHED AWAY.
BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE INTERNET IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE WE CAN MEET TRUE FRIENDS, TRUE FAMILY.



YOU CONTROL OUR LIVES IN EVERY FUCKING ASPECT: MONEY, EDUCATION, HEALTH, WORK, ENTERTAIMENT.
AND NOW YOU WANT TO CONTROL THIS: OUR LAST REFUGEE.

FUCK OFF.
JUST FUCK YOU ALL.

So many things happened this year.
The names I call myself grew up to 11. This year I became an A+, a B2UTY, an Inspirit and a BBC and I accepted my inner BOICE and Blackjack fully, too. I have struggled as a Cassiopeia, ELF, VIP and Kiss Me and my Shawol laughed a lot at the Japanese lyrics of SHINee's hit songs.
I fell in love with dorky boys and absolute trolls, derping idiots and failing silly stupid stupid men with so many talent that my heart aches when they sing or dance or act or just smile and laugh.

I started university and I'm thankful for my fellow Korean major and Japanese minor students because it was fun so far and I hope it will be even more fun the next semester, after our midterms end.

I also met friends whom I've only known through internet for years - personally for finally. And what I'm the most grateful that they didn't cause me disappoinment. That nicknames without faces on social networking sites and fanfiction forums can turn into real names with smiling faces and arms open for a warm embrace - it means the world to me. I'm so happy that you are here for me girls.
And for all the old friends who didn't stray and all the new ones who turned to me with open minds - Thank you.

This year... I made my German language exam and the graduated with all As and a B and spent a month working and from that money I was there when Gackt danced half-naked on John to Vanilla and seen how Kyo and Shinya lost it completely the moment the Dir en Grey concert started. And I was in Berlin and seen and felt how it is when Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun and Kim Junsu sings their soul, heart, everything out.

And I finally managed to attend the only party in my whole country where they play the music I love and got home at 5:30 am and was woken at 8 am because some idiot in the dorm made the fire alarm go off - and I tell you my friends that thing is fucking loud.
SHINSHOKU FEVER FOREVER!

I bought my first two kpop CDs: In Heaven and Neverland and I bought Tablo's song on iTunes.

I am writing this at home before my laptop minutes before midnight and many would probably say that I am a loser for this or that I have no social life but it's not true. I have wonderful friends some of them near me, some of them far away and I don't think it's bad to drink champagne with your parents and grandparents at midnight. I'm not alone. And that feels good. And even if I were, I still have music, something I can never be grateful enough for.

So... that was 2011.
I survived a few world's ends this year. I hope to survive more in 2012.
Happy New Year
Love.
Sae

8 years ago five little boys sat on chairs and sang with Boa, ready to take over Korea.
Today, they are at different places. Korea, Japan, Asia overtaken and million hearts over the world.
5 from this 8 were the most glorious, bright and happy ups. The last three were more often than not depressing, dark downs.
Yet, they still fought themselves through these 3 years. They have bruises and injuries and bandages. And there were still glorious moments though not the same like before.
But it will never be the same again.
They changed.
And we changed too.

Cassiopeia is in pieces like the group she once vowed to protect. 5-1=0 remember?
Cassiopeia once showed SM how to do their math homework. But there was a point where our knowledge was just not enough. Because now 2+3=/=5 and nobody really knew what to do. We were good at breaking the math, we, Cassiopeia and our five boys. But this new equation is something that exceeded our cababilities.
Cassiopeia broke into pieces. Some of that was SM's very clever work(: "Divide et impera" (divide and conquer) so old, so simple and so effective) some of that was our own.
Some of you support only 2 or 3 now. Some of you can only accept them as 5. Some of you support them as they are now but actually you wait for them to come back as 5 and if that hope of yours died you would turn away from them permanently like many did (in a way or two, you probably already did). And there are those who don't care about in what forms and how they do what they do because protecting 5 means the protection of five individuals, too, and no matter what the boys do you will stand by them: if they will be One once more it's amazing and great but if they won't that's more than okay too. Until they are happy, until they are here for us, it doesn't matter.

So let me pour my own feelings into a letter:



Dear Dong Bang Shin Ki,

You were my first K-pop group I fell in love with. It wasn't love at first sight. More like third. But then I fell - hard and deep and I thought the falling will last forever - this unparalleled feeling of ecstasy and fear. But then I reached the ground, sudden and painful.
You showed me heaven and then you showed me hell.
What happened is not something I could've ever imagined or expect:
You taught me how to believe. You taught me what faith really is even if I needed some time to figure that out. You gave me so much. You showed stregth, courage, hope and love to me. And I wonder if I will ever be able to really thank you everything you did for me even if you have no idea about it. I look up to you.
The only thing I can do is that I'm staying there until the very end.
To many Cassies 'Always Keep the Faith' means believing that you will be Five once again. I'm different. Fo me it means that I believe in You. That I have faith in you that what you are doing is the right thing according to your own beliefs. That you are walking on the right path towards your happiness. And that happiness is what I want to support and protect.
Dear Jaejoong, Yunho, Yoochun, Junsu and Changmin, keep walking on your roads. Keep walking and don't stop. Look back only if it doesn't hurt and sometimes, when it does, look back too.
I won't lie. I thought about many scenarios those could bring you back together. But I realized that all of them has immense amount of pain in it. And I don't want you to be hurt anymore. I hope that one day you will stand on the same stage, sing the same song once again. But hope is... hope. Unrequitted. It doesn't matter if it never happens until you are happy at the place you are.
That's the only thing i care about (and maybe a bit of revenge against SME but that is another story).
So.
Thank you.
Thank you for the music, the love, the stregth and the faith.
I love you.
Love you very very much.

Hellóka. Beraktam a Dorama-film részlegbe a Dreamboys 2006-tot, jobb ötletem nem lévén.
Előre szólok, hogy ezért a kritikáért engem minden mániákus fan utálni fog...
