Article: [Exclusive] Lee Hi's comeback album to be released on March 1st 'a distinguished album release'
Source: OSEN via Nate
1. [+226, -12] What's up with her heels
2. [+231, -96] I remember watching her on Inkigayo and her live was pretty unstable..
3. [+166, -48] Distinguished? ㅋㅋ
4. [+40, -9] Honestly, her live is still really unstable.. She needs more practice.. Yeah, she's really talented but she's not that great at showing it off the album. I remember her voice cracking a few times too..
5. [+39, -8] ㅋㅋㅋ I can get YG going around calling his artists the best but now he's using media play to call their own album 'distinguished' ㅋㅋㅋ
6. [+35, -3] I really love Hi unni but... her live is so unstable and her high notes are so shaky ㅜㅜㅜ And her heels are way too high, make up way too thick... Ehh..
7. [+32, -6] This is hilarious, they're using media play to praise up their own album to the high heavens ㅋㅋㅋ Just because you guys call it a 'distinguished' album doesn't mean it's 'distinguished' a month before its release yet.
8. [+30, -11] Nice media play. Let's be honest here, her face is nothing to look at and her skills have never lived up to the hype in her media play.
9. [+26, -2] Sorry YG, you're not the one that gets to decide what makes an album distinguished.
10. [+19, -1] Whatever the hell happened to YG saying 2NE1's going to release a new song every three weeks??
11. [+13, -2] Shut the fu*k up with the media play. An album is made to be listened to and judged by the public, how cocky and arrogant of you to be calling it a distinguished album before anyone else has even listened to it yet? There are only a handful of singers in our country whose songs are regarded as such high status and you dare to go around calling an entire album by some kid reeking of rookieness as 'distinguished'?

Sounds like whoever made the last comment is pressed as hell.
ReplyDeleteShe's barely gone, and now she has a come back...
ReplyDelete-_- What about 2NE1, dude. Even Ha Yi had 'Scarecrow' as a follow up after her debut hit.
ReplyDeleteI think they're just fed up of YG's bullshit and I don't blame them.
ReplyDeletenot sure about how the korean press setup actually is
ReplyDeletebut do they not know of PRESS RELEASES?
it's a statement from the company itself so of course theyd be very positive abt their artists.
then there's media play wherein a relatively rookies or nugu groups or topics, which has very few replies but shots up to #1 in the rankings.
hope knetizens can be more constructive on the source of their hate. lol
I have to agree that her live performances lately have not been that good, she does seem "sick and tired". Her singing was much better during Kpop Star and she also looked better during that time (in my opinion). I think she fits a natural look more.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2bRmPI-6g0
Anyway, I'm looking forward to her album.
no, pretty much sure they're speaking the truth. how does an agency call its own release 'distinguished' when it hasn't even been released? D:
ReplyDeletetell that to BAP
ReplyDeleteif you're calling her unnie...you have no right to comment on anything...you're a fetus and you have no life....get your ass off of the computer go out and play in the mud remember to drink your warm milk before sleep and to brush your teeth after...
ReplyDelete"I really love Hi unni but" can't help but wonder how young this commentor is. And the other commentors too. I hope the comeback song would be good!
ReplyDeletethis. the person above,are you mistaken or something? lee hi only had a debut stage and that's all. oh and she went to other awards too.
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with the companies even trying to come up with praising slogans for albums that haven't been released yet? You're not gonna trick the public into thinking what you want just because you say it yourself~ Just have the concept photos and release dates like before but let the public decide what the public thinks.
ReplyDeleteI dont't understand...do the netizens know the difference between advertisement and media play?
ReplyDeletesure, there are lots of cases that the entertainment companies trying to manipulate the media and general public by creating fake stories or rumors to attraction for their artists. and this deserve all criticisms from netizens.
but in this case, yg just released some information about lee hi's album and hyped it up a little bit. they are a company trying to sell their products of course they need to advertise it! this is how advertisements work. they have a product and they need the public to know any buy it, just simple as this. why the knetizens can be so uncomfortable about the company advertising their idols and singers. even yg claimed the album is distinguished, what harm did he cause you? will u be brainwashed by him only by seeing this news? why cant you just treat it as a commercial and stop being so hysterical
Seriously YG, we need 2NE1!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeeing how a lot of people are really pressed by the amount of media play, I do hope YG comebacks/debuts (doesn't matter which artists) are praiseworthy. If not, then even YG stans are gonna throw mud on them...
ReplyDeletePretty sure 2NE1 needs a comeback more than Lee Hi.
ReplyDeleteI'm a YGStan but honestly, YG is just pissing me off.
ReplyDeleteHe just says things, he doesn't prove anything.
We have heard about the new girl group about 1 year ago, and we are still waiting. I'm afraid to be disappointed, and I don't like the "teasers".
And I agree, Lee Hi seems so tired, YG just has to let her rest, and give a comeback to 2NE1.
I probably did a poor job conveying this but 'myung' is a very specific/risky word to use. Songs are only ever called 'myung' if they're on the level of... I'd use the Immortal Song features as 'myung', ie select songs that have been enjoyed by generations throughout time and are still celebrated today for their lyrical power, etc.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a standard PR move but calling their an entire album that themselves was a huge risk.
She cracked her voice in 1 or 2 performances. Her vocals kept improving at each lives. Ok on the final lives she was getting really tired because of a long promotion period (due to the song' success).
ReplyDeleteBut did netizens saw her last stages, at GDA or even yesterday at Seoul Music Awards. She was perfect vocally.
I was going to say that the comments are too much about media play. Now YG can't release an article/info without being called media play??
BUT i saw NB explanation in the comments. It was YG mistake to give Hayi album the highest praise when we didn't heard it yet. ^^ And he delayed her album release T_T
And still no news about 2ne1 album T_T
They congatulate Gummy on her 10th anniv, but still no comeback?
And Taeyang?
And YG new GG?
It unbelievable to think that with so many comeback/debut to make, YG still not release anything in january and february. I don't understand.
korean netizens are very bipolar.at some article they praise her saying she's cute and very talented etc. but then they hate her for putting on too much make up, not really amazed by her singing skill and so on.
ReplyDeleteim very confused
I love BAP, but for 2013 I hope they only have 2 comebacks at most. It's for the best tbh...for their health and for our sanity.
ReplyDeleteProbably because she wasn't exercising and starving herself like crazy at the time. She wrote a post on Star Column not too long ago about how she was practicing her singing when she suddenly went deaf in one ear and had to be hospitalized.(http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/10461694.html) People say that YG is the best place for idols but from a management and training perspective, it's no better than any other idol agency.
ReplyDeleteAfter having lived through EXO's 100 teasers, the horrible train wreck that was SuJu's "Sexy Free and Single" teaser pictures, and the slightly pornographic SHINee "Sherlock" teaser pictures... this is seriously nothing to me.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why YG fans are so pressed all the time. SM fans have it harder. At least 2NE1 isn't releasing a song that sounds like the musical equivalent of unicorn feces.
She's not doing a comeback, she's releasing her album. "1234" and "Scarecrow" were precursors to Lee Hi's album.
ReplyDeleteKinda like 2NE1 released "Don't Cry" (well, Bom did), "Lonely", "IATB", "Hate You", and "Ugly" before dropping their 2nd mini album.
I think they were supposed to do the same for "I Love You", but preparations for the tour sort of took over. Understandable.
Unni... that means "older sister".
ReplyDeleteBut she's only like.. 16...
-15 years olds on the Internet...
2NE1 had a tour to do after releasing "I Love You". What do you expect them to do, record their album in the morning and then do concert rehearsals and performances at night? When were they supposed to eat and sleep?
ReplyDelete8. [+30, -11] Nice media play. Let's be honest here, her face is nothing to look at and her skills have never lived up to the hype in her media play.
ReplyDeleteOUCH!!!! that must hurts really badly but its true the only thing that lived up to the media play is her born-with voice. Park Jimin is a lot better than her in terms of skill
Maybe it's "distinguishing" by being media played.
ReplyDeleteher heels.... like 30cm ?
ReplyDeleteat the end of the day he is doing what is best for his company and not what is best for the fans. keep that in mind.
ReplyDeleteDo these people not know how PR works?
ReplyDeleteI'm a YGStan but honestly, YG is just pissing me off. [x2]
ReplyDeleteLee Hi + dancing needs to go. She did well with only her voice before, without the weird clothes and awkward dance. And let's not forget about Kang Seung Yoon, YG talked about debut in january but no word was given.
And 2NE1.
And Taeyang.
And SuPearls...
And.. argh! u.u
I thought it was pretty typical for companies to hype their releases, maybe distinguished was just a bad choice of words? As for her lives Hi only made a few mistakes in terms of her singing but her presence is seriously lacking, hopefully we'll see some improvement.
ReplyDeleteOn another note when I read the title I thought it was literal and was like omg did a BB gun or something accidently go off and hit her? lololol duno why.
yea, but these kinds of PR talk is ridiculous. They're calling the album along the lines of 'legendary' and that's a bit over-the-top, even for an advertisement.
ReplyDeleteactually her lives have been really good lately, sounds like the cd. and she dances here and there too so she is improving. watch SMA performance. these netizen tards are so stupid when their media play claims, hello you're falling right into it!
ReplyDeleteanyways, i'm hopeful 2ne1 is coming very soon, dara said theyre recording and i'm pretty sure YG is aware at how wit's end blackjacks are with YG. they better blow us outta the water with 2NE1.
Actually, if you look at the plan itself it is pretty normal and healthy, not at all crazy but for a normal person to go from snacking whenever they wishes to a trainee who can only eat every 3 hours..of course it'll be hard and she'll complain.
ReplyDeletethat's an awful dress
ReplyDeleteI think the thing is, in articles that don't seem like media play has been part of it, then the only people bothering to read the articles are the fans.
ReplyDeleteWhen you have articles like these, you'll start to get more people who aren't fans and that's when comments like these pop up compared to in just "normal" articles, only fans are reading it.
So compare it to allkpop. Most people don't give a shit about articles that involve rookie groups or selca articles so most of the higher rated comments will be positive. But if you take the same idol and put them in an article more interesting/eye-grabbing then you'll start to see more criticizing comments.
Well...to be fair this type of PR was kind of risky. The word they used is only used for songs that are considered "classic" songs.
ReplyDeleteSo like...We Will Rock You is a legendary, hit, classic song. Now imagine if someone said Justin Beiber's Beauty and the Beat was just as legendary as We Will Rock You. That's basically what they did here.
Well 2ne1 didn't have as many shows especially compared to Big Bang. As a matter a fact they cancelled a few shows while Big Bang added shows. But somehow TOP was able to shoot a movie, GD doing solo promotions (half-assed yes but), Daesung working on his solo album and Seungri doing stuff in Japan. CL is jet setting in Europe for a couple weeks ago. Except for award shows all they're doing right now is sleeping and eating.
ReplyDeleteBig Bang had almost 50 shows in their tour and still released Still Alive, 2NE1 barely made... what... 15? I honestly don't want they to be overworked, so I can understand why they didn't comeback immediately after I Love You. But let's stop using their tour as excuse for that.
ReplyDeleteLast time I check CL was working there, having photoshoots with her friends, well at least she's trying to be active and stay relevant while YG put 2NE1 in hiatus for BS reasons.
ReplyDeleteYou know this is kpop.. there isnt that much creativity or anything different going on. SHE HAS TO DANCE APPARENTLY.. idk why she can't just sing and win people over with her voice... its so annoying.
ReplyDeleteWTF So much hate. Reason why YG's pushing HAYI because her song did so damn well and we all know its business. Strike while the iron is hot. I mean seriously, when 2ne1 came out they were being tossed everywhere and had BB take Japan so that the focus goes to the girls.Its how they build their name and make sure people wont forget them. Its the same thing YG is doing w/ Hayi. She does need more practice and her voice is a bit shaky but it can work out. I mean how many times BOM's voice cracked even if she had "trained" for a long while...also how about Dara's singing power?lol I love 2ne1 but seriously BJ's seem to be hating on Hayi because of this.
ReplyDeleteoh so she performs over 20 times on music shows, showing flawless vocals and skills that even they netizens praised tremendously on such occasions, and then she has one bad performance and suddenly shes overhyped and talentless. LOL!
ReplyDeleteshe has barely been in the news for weeks now, suddenly there is a new article about her upcoming comeback and album, and netizens call it media play???? no like really!???
shes releasing an album so obviously there will be an article announcing this news so how the heck is it media play!???
oh well, once she comebacks, those will be the same netizens who will go obsessing about her new single and buying it just like they did with 1,2,3,4
they should be studying.
ReplyDelete... well... I'm 16 too BUT STILL.
"And 2NE1"
ReplyDeletehear, hear. OTL
Tired of what exactly!?? she promoted one single only on 2 music shows. she did not appear on any variety shows or radio shows. she promoted it for 2 months appearing on 2 music shows per week! this is nothing for her! 2 performances per week is a piece of cake! she easily had the best and easiest schedule!
ReplyDeleteif shes tired its becuz shes been working hard on recording the album. but thats it!
if she was a trainee but u seem to forget that she was NOT a trainee for a long period of time. trainees usually get put on a gradual diet that gets more intense as time passes so that their bodies wont get sick by a sudden change in diet. Lee Hi didnt get that privilege becuz she only trained for 4 months at YG and it was only vocal training that she received there and nothing else. it was hard for her becuz her body was suddenly exposed to a whole new strict diet instead of being paved gradually into it like other trainees
ReplyDeleteyeah sure cuz its not like Bom is wayyyyyyyyyyy older than her while Hi is only 16, and its not like Bom was trained for years and years at YG while Lee Hi was only trained for 4 months, and its not like Bom has ever gone out of note or given an unstable performance! -please note the sarcasm-
ReplyDeleteI never mention Bom is good either she's terrible live . Both of them are recording artists not live performers. I'm just saying that she got so much media play that she can't live up to the expectations
ReplyDeleteWell, I wouldn't think she was doing a come back if the title of the article didn't write
ReplyDelete'Article: [Exclusive] Lee Hi's comeback album to be released on March 1st 'a distinguished album release''
4. [+40, -9] Honestly, her live is still really unstable.. She needs more practice.. Yeah, she's really talented but she's not that great at showing it off the album. I remember her voice cracking a few times too..
ReplyDeleteThat. I liked her debut song, tho.
Just because they didn't have as many shows as Big Bang doesn't mean they didn't have a lot of shows.
ReplyDelete- TOP is STILL shooting a movie, and he's been photographed looking dead on his feet on his way home from filming during the time Big Bang was on tour.
- Seungri had two minor hosting gigs in Japan... and then he got caught sleeping with a fangirl.
- Daesung has been working on his solo album for the past 3 years, tbh.
- CL's trip to Europe happened way after 2NE1 finished their tour. Both of the tours were done before the YG Family concert.
- You don't know what they're up to because YG likes to keep their activities pretty silent until they're about to release something. For all you know, 2NE1 could be in the recording studio right this very second for the 14th consecutive hour because of all you whiny fucking Blackjacks who call yourselves "fans".
Whiny brats.
How are they on hiatus when they are performing?
ReplyDeleteBig Bang being gone from Korea for two years straight was a hiatus.
This is not a hiatus.
Don't forget that VIPs had to wait TWO FUCKING YEARS for any new material from Big Bang other than Japanese remakes. So all you stupid Blackjacks can seriously fuck off. It hasn't even been a year since 2NE1 released "I Love You" and y'all are bitching like it's been forever. SHUT THE FUCK UP.
yep... Seriously, he needs to get his act together and start managing his shit properly.
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't be exercising and not eating properly at the same time though. Eventually the body will just give out on itself due to exporting more energy than it is importing. If she's fainting and "suddenly going deaf," I don't see how this is "normal and healthy" by any stretch of the imagination.
ReplyDeleteNo, you shut the fuck up. We will complain as much as we want, if it bothers you so much than go back to your VIP world.
ReplyDeleteWe complain because we are tired of being promised things from YG and never get them. And because their "I Love You" comeback and the New Evolution tour could have WAY better planned. We are tired of seeing 2NE1's potential get wasted.
Lee Hi is not an idol, she didn't start her training at 11 years old. Before Kpop Star, she was just a high school student. So yes, I think she is tired, because she's not used to that lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteShe's been working hard on recording her album, and maybe she's training on some choreos or idk, maybe she still has lessons.
That's my opinion^^
She was a trainee..she "trained" for 6 months, I'm not denying that she will be shocked with the changes (which she obviously did) but y'all making it like its the worst and fastest diet ever when tbh, her diet plan is the very usual and is the 1st step to regulating your metabolism. Its isn't at all strenuous, of course it was hard! Its hard for anyone who wasn't living a healthy diet and suddenly transition.
ReplyDeleteI'm referring to this... "I eat breakfast at 10am, I eat lunch three hours later. Another 3 hours later I eat my dinner. Everyday, I only eat from the menu that the coach and nutritionist ahjumma has came up with. If I feel hungry in the middle of the day, I will eat half a sweet potato and three cherry tomatoes." Which IS healthy.
ReplyDeleteBut you're completely disregarding the exercise portion of her routine. Exercise and a stable meal plan go hand in hand. You can't just focus on the meal aspect and ignore the exercise that goes along with it. If she was just dieting (and her meal plan IS healthy, I'm not denying that), I wouldn't have a problem with it but she's exercising which changes everything. The most efficient way would be to cut her portions but have her eat more frequently (every two hours) so that her body would be able to sustain itself through exercise.
