Pojok Korea The Right Place For Korea Lovers

Pann : Korean idol group appears on a university exam in India 1. [+281, -192] Wow... The quality of the university exam must be really low 2. [+221, -33] That's a university exam? 3. [+203, -9] It must be an elective course like 'Understanding The Culture' ㅋㅋㅋ The question is a bit weird but don't call it low quality. 4. [+63, -2] The person might've gotten the correct answer because in foreign countries, check marks are for correct answers and circles are for wrong answers. I was confused at first ㅋㅋ 5. [+56, -7] Even an interviewer at Seoul National University asked a question on BTS' popularity. What would you clueless kids know? 6. [+44, -3] An exam for becoming a broadcast PD asked to list the names of BTS members. Are you gonna call it low quality, too? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ There are different fields of common knowledge that people should know so any question is possible. 7. [+42, -2] Are you guys all students or what? The question is possible if it's asking ...

Article : Choi Soon Sil, "I liked Park Geun Hye like how everyone likes K-pop" Source: Hankook Ilbo via Nate 1. [+2002, -32] What nonsense is this? 2. [+1619, -34] What a nonsense 3. [+1433, -26] Is she joking? 4. [+39, -3] We hate Park Geun Hye like how everyone hates you. 5. [+38, -3] What bullshit is this? It fucking pisses me off... 6. [+38, -4] What nonsense ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 7. [+35, -3] Is her concept a mentally ill person? 8. [+29, -4] I live alone in a small city. I have no friends. I was at a library for the whole day and I'm going to Seoul. The article made me laugh out loud for the first time today ^^ 9. [+28, -2] Get rid of the bias that everybody likes K-pop. Everybody has different taste in music. Soon Sil might like K-pop but I hate it very much. I also hate her. 10. [+26, -3] Her Korean skill is questionable.

Article : "Looking pretty might make you sick"... 'Eyelash extensions' are harmful for your eye health Source: Seoul Economics via Naver 1. [+628, -87] I know but I still want to get them done~ 2. [+638, -117] Those who got eyelash extensions done don't look pretty at all. They look like they have fans on their eyes. 3. [+442, -24] It's sad to see so many negative comments since I understand the willingness to be pretty. But before that, you should take care of your health first. 4. [+425, -118] This is a country of lookism, of course you have to get them done. 5. [+351, -89] I can't quit eyelash extensions, though ㅠㅠ 6. [+86, -9] If you get eyelash extensions, your existing eyelashes will fall off too. 7. [+79, -10] It looks gross if you have small eyes and a whole bunch of eyelashes. Eyelash extensions don't look that good on big eyes, either. Overdoing anything never ends up well. 8. [+70, -5] If someone is bare-faced and they have clear e...

[+147, -1] Performers are also humans that have to survive... Paying them properly is the minimum right they deserve. 2. [+89, -2] I'm sure the event holders took all the money themselves, assholes. 3. [+66, -0] I've also studied music. People should never go to those places. If you keep going there, there will be more unpaid performances. You have to stop going so t...

Article : [Exclusive] "No more 2nd Somi..." SM-JYP-YG all opt out of 'Produce 48' Source: Sports Choson via Nate 1. [+568, -10] The characteristic of Produce show: Before: They say they're not gonna watch it because it's stupid Show begins: They still say the show is unlikeable but they secretly listen to the theme song because it's catchy After weeks: They pick a bias and ask others to vote for their bias on SNS Show ends: They stan the debut group hard 2. [+512, -11] We Got Married and this show are similar. People hate them yet they enjoy them. 3. [+412, -8] Everything aside, SM, JYP, and YG have no reason to be on the show. The show is for desperate trainees and small companies to media-play. For SM, JYP, and YG, their debuts get enough attention from the start. 4. [+15, -3] I think they should just end it here. I don't think it'll be as fun. 5. [+8, -1] The rumors that say CJ is dominated by Japanese must be true... It's...

Article : Twice 'What is Love?', first #1 girl group on Melon chart since the reform Source: Star News via Naver 1. [+735, -65] As expected... 2. [+663, -59] Twice What is Love, congrats on charting #1~ <3 3. [+605, -58] Twice kids, let's all-kill with What is Love <333 4. [+559, -47] As expected of Twice <3 5. [+525, -43] Wow amazing <33 - Article : "Continuous 8th success" Twice 'What is Love?' charts #1 Source: Sports Choson via Nate 1. [+140, -14] These days, you have to wait to see the result of idol songs. Momoland's Bboom Bboom is getting so much hate for plagiarizing but its digital sales are daebak. 2. [+124, -8] I heard the song was produced by Park Jin Young... The style seems to be very different~ 3. [+117, -71] Jin Young hyung, stop producing Twice's songs!! It only makes you look like you're trying to sell your own songs by using Twice's popularity. 4. [+45, -37] They can't catch up ...

Pann : 2017 ranking of physical sales by companies 1. [+141, -5] BTS is daebak 2. [+113, -5] Wow, how many did Big Hit sell with BTS? Amazing 3. [+130, -4] BTS sold 2.6M alone ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Cool 4. [+39, -17] BTS is by themselves and SM has more than 10 teams including subunits and solos... Amazing. 5. [+31, -0] SM has a lot of popular idols like EXO, Red Velvet, SHINee, and NCT so it's not surprising that they're #1. Big Hit and YMC are doing well just with BTS and Wanna One ㅋㅋ That's amazing. I'm surprised that Pledis is catching up. Pledis revived with NU'EST and Seventeen is still a trend. Pristin did well for a rookie girl group. YG is unexpected. Their digital sales are huge but their public recognition is bigger than the fandom. Doesn't mean that they have a small fandom but just big public recognition compared to it. 6. [+29, -0] Is Pledis real ㅋㅋㅋㅋ i'm already annoyed because Pledis will become arrogant with this. Pledis, it's not that you ...
