Seventeen member group?

Pledis Entertainment has released an announcement that they have put together a seventeen member boy group... Seventeen members is a lot. We have virtually no information about this group and the two teasers they've released tell us almost nothing. In fact they don't even show the group and only one of the teasers has a few members talking and one member singing so we get an idea of the group's vocal talent. The members will all be around 17 years of age and the main purpose of the group will be to promote in Japan and China, and of course Korea. It is rumored that, after debuting, the group will split and do promotions in Korea, Japan, and China. So Pledis is sort of doing what SMTown did with EXO-K/M? Seventeen members is a large group but they are not the largest group to debut, the Japanese singing, 21 Korean member group called A-Peace hold that record. The debut date of this group has been changed multiple times so I'm going to go with their last debut announcement date and call it good, for now. December 24th, 2012. Possibly.
Any thoughts about this extremely large group? Excited? Unsure?
Here are the two teasers... I'm not sure what to make of these:

Happy Birthday Lee Jae Jin!

Today is FTISLAND's Lee Jae Jin's birthday!!! This bassist and vocalist is turning 21 today! I wish I listened to more of FTISLAND but unfortunately I only listen and pay attention to Lee HongKi. Lee Jae Jin is a huge cutie however. I am still very impressed with the band however. FTISLAND is one of the only instrument playing KPop groups I like to listen to.

The Very First KPop Song You Ever Heard:

Super Junior - Mr. Simple
I've told this story at least twice, so I won't tell it again. Though, I have been second guessing myself. F4fighting! showed me two music videos in one day, but I can't remember which one she showed me first. I believe it was Mr. Simple, but it might have been SS501's Love Ya. It was Probably Love Ya. F4fighting!, do you remember?

F4fighting!: It was not in the same day. I showed you Mr. Simple one day at school, while we were supposed to be writing our paper and you scoffed and turned away. The next semester, I showed you SS501's Love Ya while we were at a Harry Potter movie party, so you weren't really paying attention then either...remember? It was soon after that you re-looked up Mr. Simple yourself and loved it ;)

If we are being technical, my first kpop video ever was several years ago while I was in high school. My friend casually showed me what years in the future, I came to realize was BigBang's Haru Haru and Beautiful Hangover (Japanese). I remember loving them, but moving on rather quickly (what was my problem??). It was October 2011, that I was shown Mr. Simple by friends of that original friend and I have been completely addicted ever since. 

Invite me...

Lee Seung Gi has cranked out another music video. This one is just of him being positively adorable. So cute. Lee Seung Gi, we love you so much. Why so cute? This song is entitled "Invite", I have no idea what it is about cause the music video is just him being lovable but it's a pretty song. Everyone should watch it.
I'm having difficulty getting the music video to work so here is the link to view it.

Kpop Challenge Day 7

KPop Challenge Day 7:
Your Favorite KPop Music Video:

Love Song - BigBang.

This is the best Music Video, ever. It doesn't have a huge wow factor, but if you really look at it, it's amazing. This video is one complete take. The camera turns on and it just keeps rolling till the end of the song; it's insanely impressive. There isn't an incredible dance that makes you super impressed. This is just a very beautiful video. The black and white color, the set, the outfits, breathtaking is the only way to describe this. Full of passion and deep meaning, I completely love Love Song.
Dramajunkie and I agree 100% about this mv. It's so classic. I love how they are all doing the same dance, but with their own flare. Each one lifts his shoulders differently and spins or walks with his own sense of style. Their outfits follow the same pattern, black suits but with individual twists. The set is fantastic and the filming is perfect. It's so flawless, I can hardly even take it and I haven't even mentioned how completely gorgeous the song and their voices are. This whole video hits me in the heart every single time I watch it. Well done. I am a VIP through and through.

Onew Oppa!!!!!

Today is Lee Jinki's (aka Onew) birthday!!!!!! The chicken loving leader of SHINee is turning 23 today! Happy birthday to, who I think is, one of the most talented singers in KPop. I absolutely love the Onew Condition *facepalm* Onew, you're so cute with your awkwardness. Onew loves to sleep, his nickname is Dubu (tofu), he is almost always smiling and trying to make the other members laugh (this is where is Onew Condition comes into play). Out of all the SHINee members, Onew trained the longest. While he was training, Onew's manager was worried because Onew was so clumsy. Bless this beautiful boy's soul, I love him. Happy Birthday Onew!!! Saranghae! (I have no idea if he really plays the Accordion, but it was a super cute picture)

KPop Challenge Day 6

KPop Challenge Day 6:

A KPop Dance You'd Like to Learn:
I would seriously love to learn all of the dances which is an impossible dream but it would rock. I would love to learn G-Dragon's Heartbreaker, and One of a Kind dances. It would be awesome if I could learn any of SHINee's dances, and what I wouldn't give to learn the dance that Tasty does in You know Me but the dance that I have the highest chance of learning would be Super Junior's Sorry, Sorry.


F4fighting!: I don't even know where to start with this!!!!! There are so MANY!!!! So besides just shouting, "LEARN ALL THE DANCES!!!!" I must agree to all things that dramajunkie has stated (plus a lot more) and I'm going to post one of the several dances that I actually tried to teach myself at one point. I honestly had the chorus part down fairly decent ;) haha, anyway, this is a great dance.
SS501-Love Ya

Also, I would like to give special props to TOP...because the dance at the end with his feet? Yeah that's genius.
TOP-Turn It Up
