Umm... I just realized its too long & no one will read the post... ahhh well... at least I am feeling better...

Tani, let me gather my scattered thoughts on your post and be back with my own rant. 

lol.😆. tani..its ok.. now.relax..i know u r hurt ...after all any cassie wud b..😔

May and I were talking about the same thing earlier today, Tani. It's a possibility that the reason HoMin are not being paid any attention is because SM thinks that they will leave the company sooner or later and they want a strong and a leading band before they do so. Result? EXO being promoted so crazily like that. BTW, is it just me or are they putting most of their 'focus' on just a couple of members instead of the whole band? Anyway, I feel that not just HoMin but all the artists are nothing but lottery tickets for SM. They win their money, take it, and move on to buy another.

I have been wondering about HoMin not coming out with another Korean album too. Other than a couple of concerts here and there, they haven't actually had a tour to promote their album or anything to bond with their fans. They have been so focused with their activities in Japan. Also, if I am not wrong, their fanbase isn't increasing. Why? Because they are not 'out there' like so many other bands are. Their activities are only restricted to Japan and Korea while other groups have taken it to another level: Europe and US. It's not their fault but SM.
I know JYJ is restricted from any sort of promotions in Korea but at least they are trying their best to become a huge name overseas. Be it Japan, Europe, US. They have got official online accounts (twitter, for ex). They are keeping in touch with their fans and make sure to do their best for them. I am so happy for them but at the same time, feel so bad for HoMin, who despite being the most 'grossing' band of one of the most influential label companies of Korea, aren't allowed to do things on their own. They are shackled. They are monitored.

I don't have a clue about the MNet situation you are talking about but that's just sad. Really sad. HoMin are being slowly wiped out. I feel for all SM artists, not just one. They all go through this and can do nothing about it. SM is too powerful and it doesn't step back from misusing that power.. we have seen that too many times now!
All I can say is we can't do anything about it either and although that sucks, it's the bitter reality :'(
We can only pray these boys get their due sometime. They get the respect they deserve. By SM, that is. It angers me too and we can at least talk about it. My heart goes to all of the artists who still keep a smile on their faces while going through this sh*t. Have been going through it for so long already.

SHINee's Taemin to cameo in 'Salamander Guru' as an old man

SHINee's Taemin is set to make a cameo as an old man in the upcoming episode of SBS's 'Salamander Guru'.

On the February 17th episode of 'Salamander Guru', Won Sam (Lim Won Hie) and Sun Dal (Oh Dal Su) are visited by an old man in his 70's who asks them when his grandchild will be able to get a cornea donation.

As a fortune telling fee, they charge him $500, and the old man gives them a fake $1,000 bill. When he gets his change, the old man takes off his mask as he leaves the fortune-telling house to reveal his true identity.

Reportedly, Taemin had to sit for three hours in the makeup room in order to transform into an old man. His unlikely transformation and unexpected acting ability drew the praise of staff on set.

Catch the episode on February 17th at 11:00 p.m. KST!

This had me on the floor 🤣 Really, the wonders make up can do! Can't recognize him at all.

for HoMin, makin' music must now really seem like a job rather than somethin' they are passionate about and enjoy doin'!! 

Tani      I dont think SHINee's comeback is being help up because of their popularity. They are pretty big in Korea, but just not as as big as their seniors...which obviously makes sense because groups like TVXQ and SJ have a bigger/more dedicated fanbase since they debuted much earlier. SHINee did great with both their albums actually and RDD and Lucifer earned them a huge wave of fans. They even have a lot more international fans compared to other groups who debuted at the same time as them, like 2pm U-Kiss and MBLAQ, . So, in my opinion popularity is definitely not the issue. I don't know what is SM is trying to pull off with the 18 teasers but, I'm not liking it.  Edited by Fari.Kashian - 12 years ago

Gary says he drank for 3 days by himself after hearing about Song Ji Hyo's relationship

Leessang's Gary has firmly stated that the 'Monday Couple' will not come to an end.

On February 19th, SBS aired the latest episode of 'Running Man', which was recorded right after the media broke news of Song Ji Hyo's relationship with the CEO of her agency.

The members began to talk about the past love line between Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye, and slowly moved over to talk about the Monday Couple. Ji Suk Jin slyly said, "We need a new love line now," to which Gary shouted, "It's not over yet! Monday is not over yet."

Laughing, the other members replied, "Your love line is over too", causing Gary to hotly respond, "I drank for three days by myself."

really do feel bad for Gary :-\

Awwweh Gary <3
