Black Pink reveals they wouldn't have picked SM over YG

Article: Black Pink, "We would've said NO even if we were cast by SM before YG"

1. [+701, -30] Well they're already debuted under YG right now, you wouldn't expect them to be like "yes" to that question?

2. [+476, -82] I agree that Black Pink is a unique group with great dancing and singing skills but if you compare their stages to 2NE1, you can see a huge difference in that 2NE1 looks like they're actually enjoying the stage and treating it like their playground whereas Black Pink looks completely manufactured by their company in comparison.

3. [+282, -39] Jisoo totally has the facial features that SM loves

4. [+34, -7] I get that they're both under YG but they produced Black Pink way too similar to 2NE1 ㅡㅡ

5. [+25, -4] Their image is totally not SM

6. [+24, -5] I do think Jisoo could do better than YG. She's like Sandara, her prettiness stands out more than her skills so you can't really notice her when she's with her group... If she had gone to SM or JYP, she would've been made the visual center and given all the CFs and acting roles...

7. [+22, -7] Their voices are so charming but I think they're like Park Bom, can't really sing live... I remember at some award ceremony, I was surprised at Rose's voice cracking...

8. [+21, -5] I feel like Yang Hyun Suk couldn't let his grudge with 2NE1 go so he created a whole knock-off 2NE1 with different faces ㅋ If you close your eyes and listen to their songs, a majority of the people would just assume it's a 2NE1 song

9. [+19, -4] They're just way too similar to 2NE1

10. [+17, -4] Their live didn't sound as good as I assumed

11. [+11, -3] 2NE1 was the best... Black Pink needs to learn to let loose. What was great about 2NE1 was that they broke YG's cold, sharp concept and really let loose on stage. Black Pink... they're pretty faces with good dances, that's it. Nothing else to them. They're missing that element to their stage where they look like they're completely letting loose and having fun.

1. [+1,056, -32] Now that Kim Go Eun is popular, we're seeing so many similar faces try to debut

2. [+746, -40] She looks like Kim Go Eun

3. [+635, -34] She must be damn good at acting

4. [+45, -2] Average looking faces like this stood out among all the pretty celebrities but now there are so many of them that it's getting boring

5. [+38, -7] Looks like an awkward version of Kim Go Eun

6. [+27, -3] I guess faces like this are popular in the movie industry

7. [+23, -1] Kim Go Eun + Park Sodam + Lee Yoo Young

8. [+21, -2] Just how ugly were the other 1,500 eliminated by her then?

9. [+20, -2] I thought the thumbnail was Kim Go Eun

10. [+18, -1] The minute I saw her face... I could just tell... that she is the god of acting

11. [+18, -2] Such an average face you could find anywhere;;; I don't see an ounce of charm or prettiness in her

12. [+17, -3] How did a face like that beat 1500:1 ??

13. [+17, -0] Seems movie directors aren't into the plastic monster types when they cast actresses

Nam Taehyun clarifies his dating rumors with Jung Ryeowon and Son Dambi

Article: Nam Taehyun clarifies dating rumors with Jung Ryeowon and Son Dambi, "They're close nunas, not my style"

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+938, -10] I'm sure they think the same

2. [+722, -13] He always looks like he's holding in a sh*t

3. [+520, -13] Yeah yeah, we get it

4. [+56, -0] All your fans already know that your style is Jung Ryeowon, not Son Dambi ㅋㅋㅋㅋ and I knew he'd call Son Dambi on the show instead of Jung Ryeowon. And can he please stop talking about YG? He's the one who left because he hated it, stop talking about it already. Can't stand him.

5. [+36, -3] He was actually dating Son Dambi... and hanging out with Ryeowon since she's close with Son Dambi and that's how the dating rumors spread about him and Ryeowon. And he had to stay quiet because he couldn't even clarify that it was actually Son Dambi he was dating at the time so everyone just assumed it was Ryeowon all along.

6. [+33, -0] Son Dambi and Jung Ryeowon could do better even if they were grandmas right now. How dare some nugu use their names on a talk show like this?

7. [+27, -0] ㅋㅋㅋ What's up with him? He talks like he's some super handsome hot shot

8. [+27, -1] Why's he famous again?

9. [+24, -3] How does someone get plastic surgery to look like they have to take a sh*t all the time

10. [+21, -1] Did he ever consider his own visuals??????? His own character???? Does he still pay valets with his bills wedged between his fingers??

Why did YG keep Black Pink on hiatus for a year?

Article: Why did YG 'neglect' Black Pink for a year?

Source: Mediaus via Nate

1. [+632, -16] Isn't Lee Hi still being neglected

2. [+549, -11] Black Pink isn't the only one being neglected by YG, they did it with Big Bang too

3. [+517, -12] Black Pink is actually on the lenient side ㅋㅋㅋ YG is always keeping talented kids on the backburner like they're marinating them

4. [+46, -6] I like Black Pink and all but I wish they'd stop copying 2NE1's style of singing. 2NE1 had a characteristic style of autotune specific to them. What I like about Winner and iKON is that they let go some of that YG style and sing in a style that's comfortable to them. Black Pink should work on finding their own style since they're better than 2NE1 in both looks and skills ㅎㅎ

5. [+35, -3] It's because Yang CEO is a businessman, not a musician

6. [+30, -5] Their whole company is being neglected, it's not just Black Pink

7. [+35, -6] Big Bang was capable of writing and composing their own songs and still neglected but Black Pink can't have comebacks unless Teddy writes them new songs

8. [+27, -0] YG needs to get more composers... how is Teddy the only one composing everything still..

9. [+22, -3] To think that a singer who's been out for 2-3 years barely has 10 songs yet ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ just shows how much YG doesn't work ㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+18, -7] Twice has too frequent comebacks, Black Pink doesn't have enough... there needs to be a happy medium

11. [+16, -1] I wouldn't start calling it neglect until it's at 2NE1 levels ㅋㅋㅋ feels like 2NE1 was retired right after they hit their peak ㅋ

12. [+15, -7] Isn't it because Teddy makes all their songs by himself? He does have long periods in between but he still makes good songs every time
