Cool of them. - The big 3 is the richest but that's it... The entertainment industry is indeed poorly paid. - I think the difference between male and female comes from the work positions.

(totoro, I looked for 'Begin Again 2' articles for you and this was the only commented article I could find for the recent episode! Hope you see this :P) Article : 'Begin Again 2' Roy Kim, "I was cast by SM in the past" Source: Sports Choson via Nate 1. [+709, -43] Roy Kim should take care of the remaining fans he has instead of asking for new fans. He had so many fans on Superstar K because the show made a good image for him but 80% of his fans have left the fandom. Doesn't he understand? Arrogant attitude, acting like a rip-off of Kim Kwang Suk, repetitive songs and stages... He doesn't even know how to thank his fans... If he was an idol, he would've gotten hated to death for his "female energy" statement already. 2. [+594, -48] Roy Kim's sunbaes also see that his face and talent are not that good ㅋㅋ I can feel he's not welcomed on the show ㅋㅋ His songs are really boring, too. 3.

[+1954, -104] If you say "I'm learning German/Dutch/Swedish", there are so many people that will say "Why? Why would you learn something useless? Those people can speak English so you don't need to learn their language. You should study Spanish or Chinese instead since these speakers have a big population and it'll be beneficial." You can just like the sounds, the sentence structure, the idioms, or the social aspect to be interested in learning the language. Finding a language that you find enjoyable to study is as lucky as finding a true friend. 3. [+1137, -70] I'm learning Russian and Swedish as hobby. The Cyrillic script's pro...

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing well!  It's been almost a month since I haven't updated. I got some concerning emails about it and I thought it'd be nice to chat about my / your whereabouts (?) Regarding to the lack of updates, I did get pretty busy with life and my mental health has taken a toll on blogging as well. I just really want to say this - Do take care of your mental health! If you're tired mentally and feel burned out, take a break from things. It's so important I can't stop stressing it. Also, I'm picky with my posts. I mean VERY VERY picky. My blog isn't some serious media source but at the same time, I always try to avoid translating stuff that was redundant, repetitive, or non-informative. I'd rather not post at all than translating Pann/Instiz posts that have no point, if that makes sense? That was always my motto. But it looks like I can spare a lot of time from now on and my mental health is clearing up a lot with my self-...
