Positive Dump: Choi Siwon, Seo In Guk, B1A4


Article: Choi Siwon gives a garlic kiss to Oh Ji Eun 'hilarious'

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+360, -4] ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Choi Siwon's hilarious ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ He really matches this character

2. [+310, -8] I seriously think Choi Siwon is the perfect fit for this character. What I'm really worried about is what happens if the viewer ratings are still low for Kyung Sung's Morning after all that fuss... Anyway, Choi Siwon's the core of this drama

3. [+218, -6] I've been loving this drama ever since Nice Guy ended ã…‹ã…‹ It's not only one character that's funny but all of them, including Anthony, Lee Go Eun, and Choi Siwon ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ So funny ã…‹ã…‹

Article: Seo In Guk 'Reply 1997' how much did he get paid? "Planning to buy a luxury car"

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+437, -10] He's never had a car all his own until now.. and it's not like he's going into debt buying it, he's buying it from money he's rightfully made. Safe driving to you, Seo In Guk!

2. [+343, -14] I loved the character Yoon Yoonje. I personally like it better when Seo In Guk uses saturi instead of the standard dialect ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

3. [+294, -9] This kid really turned his life around~

Article: B1A4 turns into charity idols, 2 tons of rice, briquettes, eggs, and mango trees 'donated'

1. [+224, -74] It's really not easy to do good deeds for others, I'm really proud of them for making this decision at their age

2. [+205, -73] Don't forget they also donated blood along with their fans in addition to donating all of that from their concert. This is why I love B1A4!!! ã…Žã…Ž They're mannerly, respectful, work hard, think of their fans... It's their 600th dayversary on December 12th. Congratulations, I'll always be your fan~

3. [+136, -28] There was so much praise on all of their Immortal Song 2 articles, why the turnaround now? I knew that they wouldn't get that much popular with Immortal Song 2 but I thought that there would at least be less hateful replies... It's disappointing that the best replies (TN: old, they've been pushed down) are so hateful... What's wrong with you guys, especially on an article about them doing good deeds?

  3. Wow..B1A4 seem to be getting more positive reviews :O Either that or fans flooded the article, tho I think it's mix since non-fans said good things about them for their appearance on Immortal song.

    Sandeul have a nice voice and Jinyoung compose, write, and produced their single. They should at least get some recognition.

    B1A4 is WM'S ONLY group yet they manage to outrank so many
    companies. Not to mention not only has B1A4's physical sales increased
    tremendously this year but also has their digital sales.


    Plus it's not the first time B1A4 has done charity stuff.
    They have a program called YES MAN where people can ask for things to be done for them by B1A4. It was through that program where they learned about a BANA's sick mother. They personally visited the home of the fan, cooked dinner for the family, and cleaned and also brought gifts. And you know it wasn't for publicity because it came out months after they had visited because the fan they visited made a post online talking about it.

  8. I didn't know siwon was good at acting, I might check him up

  9. The mango trees, and rice isn't something the BAND donates. fanclubs purchase from dream.co and the mango company from their monies so their sales has nothing to do with these donations as the members themselves don't donate this stuff its the fanclubs, even if the members wanted to keep the rice/mangos/brickbaguette things they can't cuz immediately after the concert it all goes on a truck to be delivered to the needy.

    The members or the band have no control over these donations, they are coordinated through fanclubs and the venue. Then the band gets a sheet/certificate that will list out each fanclub name and how much rice/mangos/bagueetes they donated for them to keep. (the certificate is also on display with the wreaths.)


    After that either the band's company or the charity will send a pr to the media with the total donation amount in pounds.

    I don't know personally about the eggs as I have never worked with that company.

    This is not to downplay their blood donations and other charity, but just to be clear about the charities discussed in this article.

  10. I was seriously surprised at how much I enjoyed him in this he is really doing a serviceable job, i though he would have been more of a weak link but he is holding his own well.

  11. i know the above is donated through the fanclubs. i wasn't saying they personally donated all that stuff. i know how the rice wreaths and such work

    but they have also personally been involved through different drives in the past.

  12. Seo In Guk is deserves all the praise he gets imo. Good looking, great singer, amazing actor. He comes from a really poor family and he's super nice too so I'm glad to see him doing well and making money.

  13. Siwon is comic gold in this drama......Before the drama aired i was praying that he wouldn't be the weakest link in the drama due to his previous acting but after ep.1 i had no worries cos he is just too damn hilarious....He nailed his character down completely......


    Hope to see future good works like this in his future projects

  15. Our Yoonjae is finally getting a car of his own! Instead of driving his brother's.....or did he get a new car in the drama? LOL...my memory....

  16. Smiling smugly at the B1A4 article.
    Their best replies always fluctuate, I never will know the true consensus regarding B1A4 :/

    ReplyDelete
  17. Siwon is seriously hilarious. He is a magical derp unicorn who must never try to be serious.

    Yay for B1A4! The wreaths and stuff are from their fans, idk the mechanics of donation, but I'm glad the best replies were positive. People just like any opportunity to be 'witty' by hating. I never cease to be impressed that they are a under 2-year group and the only artists from a no-name company. werk it.

  18. How come we can donate Mango trees ?....

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think the divide is "people who never listen to/watch b1a4" and "people who have listened to/watched b1a4".


    Most of the negative comments seem to be generalized rookie hate, saying things like 'they have no talent' which is patently untrue, lol. Come back to me when your oppas write or compose more than 60% of their own songs, netizens. XD

  20. A freakin' men.
    Just because there's some rookie groups that are nothing but random ulzzangs grouped together, doesn't mean all good-looking rookies suck c;
