Pann : Blackpink Jisoo's voice is so stuffy 1. [+301, -53] She can't sing. I don't understand why Yang Hyun Suk always puts one member who can't sing at all. Sandara Park and Jisoo... 2. [+275, -50] She was just born with no talent. 3. [+219, -42] The comments are so defensive. What's wrong with calling her voice stuffy? The fans of drug store princesses are so sarcastic. 4. [+174, -11] Jisoo isn't untalented as an idol. She's really pretty, she's good at MC-ing, and she's good with variety shows. But she doesn't suit YG. In a group like IZONE or Twice, she could sing a few parts, dance in the back, show her pretty face once in a while, and do well on variety shows. Then she would've been very popular as a visual. But her group is a girl crush concept that does rapping and hip-hop. There's only 4 members so her dancing stands out. She's one of the 2 vocalists and the other vocalist has a unique voice so Jisoo ends up singing all ...

Alleyway in Japan: Korean-patched (illegal parking & recycled trash): - Pann : The reason why alleyways in Japan seem exotic 1. [+174, -1] F*ck ㅋㅋㅋㅋ This was why. 2. [+143, -3] And the countless neon signs... 3. [+36, -0] Needs some stickers and posters on the poles, too. 4. [+34, -62] Obviously it would exotic because it's a different country. 5. [+28, -4] You can find recycled trash on the alleyway in Japan as well. You just don't see them because you go to tourist places ㅋㅋ Our country has a lot of mountains and slopes so we have a different view. That alleyway is full of individual houses so it looks simple. There's also more small cars than midsize vehicles. Unlike Korea, Japan doesn't have a lot of high-rise apartments. That's why their alleyways look more simple. New villages in Korea look really nice, too. And with the foreign language, it makes it even more exotic ㅋㅋ 6. [+22, -0] Honestly, even in Hongdae, there's a lot of tra...

Article : [Exclusive] Trax leaves SM... Contract expired after 15 years Source: SpoTV via Nate 1. [+320, -24] Hope they join a good agency. As long as it's not the drug store, it's fine. The drug store is just too trashy. 2. [+249, -11] Oh My Goddess is such a good song ㅠㅠ 3. [+171, -87] Flopped kids. 4. [+47, -1] When Trax first debuted, I was so surprised by how provocative their genre was for an SM artist. So this is how they end. 5. [+39, -0] The drummer Noh Min Woo ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It brings me memories. 6. [+34, -0] Trax members are thankful that SM released albums for them so why do people wish them a good agency? There isn't a place like SM for them. 7. [+17, -0] They were amazing when Noh Min Woo was in the band. 8. [+17, -4] 15 years? Is this a slave contract? 9. [+17, -10] Who??? 10. [+13, -2] When everybody was into TVXQ, I really liked Trax ㅠㅠ They didn't become popular but they were so talented. Their live and digital didn't sound any different. X Japa...

Owners in their 40's - 21 Owners in their 20's~30's - 13 Teen owners - 4 - Pann : Ages of the building owners in Garosu-gil 1. [+143, -5] Age 6 and 9 are tricks to pay less taxes. 2. [+85, -2] What's with the age 6? 3. [+69, -0] I envy them... 4. [+37, -0] Being jealous is your loss. Therefore, I lost. 5. [+28, -2] I guess the teen owners are given buildings by their parents to live comfortably? 6. [+25, -0] A lot of chaebol children are like that. Rather than inheriting a property at a late age, it's better to hand over a building or stocks while it's cheap to save inheritance taxes. My friend was the same case when I was in school. She was a granddaughter of a major company and she had inherited many properties already. 7. [+22, -0] Age 6 and 9??? I really envy them, f*ck. 8. [+16, -1] But my parents are amazing for not leaving me debts for inheritance! As you live, you'll realize that not having debts is enough to live well. 9. [+14, -0] Wha...

Article : Naver reps, "'Running Man' plagiarized 'Money Game', we're actively looking into taking legal actions" [official statement] Source: OSEN via Nate 1. [+629, -11] I watched Running Man yesterday and it reminded me of Money Game right away. How could they have filmed this without getting permission for copyrights? 2. [+538, -12] They're doing whatever they want. The writer and the staff are robbers. 3. [+515, -68] Is Running Man even fun? I've never found the show funny, I can't believe the show is still airing... Am I the only one ㅠㅠ 4. [+38, -0] This webtoon is going to be made into a movie and yet a variety show spoiled the story? Great job~ ugh 5. [+27, -0] How can a public channel not have a sense of copyrights... They should be embarrassed. Are they robbers? 6. [+27, -1] Ugh, the staff's so stupid... Apologize to the webtoon writer and the Running Man members. 7. [+23, -1] I've always found Yoo Jae Suk too good t...

Number of new university students: 490K Grade 12 students in 2018: 570K Grade 12 students in 2019: 510K Grade 12 students in 2020: 450K Pann : Declination of the numbers of grade 12 students 1. [+166, -10] Honestly, I think Korea is way too overpopulated so it's fine for the population to decrease. But the problem is that the number of seniors is too high... 2. [+147, -8] Maybe it's because I was born in the 90's but I feel so bad for those who were born in the early~mid 90's. My generation was taught that not going to university would ruin our lives so we went to university but there's no merit, no employment, and no benefits in later years. 3. [+96, -19] At least they should be happy... The population is way too big right now. 4. [+39, -1] People think the declination of students would lead to less competition but if there are less students in university, the school will face financial difficulties, the quality of education will go down, and the universit...

Hongki: When I was a trainee, I got scolded if I didn't go to the church on Sunday. Han Sung Ho: No, it was just... MC: You were forced to believe in a religion? Hongki: On Sundays, he came to pick me up to go to the church. Woman: He was just trying to evangelize. - Pann : Entertainment agency that forces to believe in a religion 1. [+98, -0] I can understand anything else but forcing religion on them is a no... 2. [+90, -7] Who's that woman that's siding with him? It's always these Christians that want to evangelize others. If they like their religion that much, they should just attend the church themselves. Why are they forcing religion on people? 3. [+84, -0] Look how pissed off he looks, I love it. 4. [+28, -4] Stupid Christians as usual. What's with the woman who's siding with him, though? 5. [+27, -0] As an atheist, it's really annoying when religious people try to educate me with their nonsense. What age are they living in to be saying th...

Hamdan Bin Mohammed Al Maktoum whose net worth is $400M. His family member is hospitalized at Asan Medical Center's VIP room. - Pann : Mansour's brother-in-law in Korea 1. [+95, -2] I guess our country's medical treatment is acknowledged. Can't believe Mansour's relative is hospitalized at Asan Medical Center... 2. [+85, -2] I saw a comment that said the OP wished he would get lost on the street and ask OP for directions ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 3. [+39, -1] Korean hospitals are really famous. You can find a lot of rich people from the Middle East and Russia in Asan Medical Center, Samsung Hospital, and Severance Hospital. But if the person is at the level of Mansour ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The doctors and nurses must be scared not to make a mistake. 4. [+38, -1] $400M... wow 5. [+29 -1] I think he would throw me $100K if I roll in front of him to be funny. Let me do that. 6. [+22, -1] He must've been taking pictures at Lotte Tower and thinking, "How much is this tower? Should I ...

Irene, Seulgi, and Joy were doing Instagram live at their hotel and a sasaeng kept calling Joy's phone At first, she smiled and told them not to call her. But they kept calling her, so she looked mad and hung up the phone without a word. - Pann : Sasaeng during Red Velvet's Instagram live 1. [+84, -2] It seems like SM sasaengs are especially severe... 2. [+61, -3] The Instagram live was so funny though ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I usually don't watch these things until the end but I watched the whole video because it was really funny. The members were much funnier than on variety shows. I was surprised because Irene was completely different from her TV appearance. 3. [+51, -0] How do they even find out the members' phone numbers? 4. [+31, -3] EXO doesn't do Instagram live because of sasaengs. They get calls every minute. So they do it on wifi with airplane mode or use an iPad. 5. [+26, -1] Sasaengs are especially bad for SM. There's this SM group that always uses...
