It's awesome, but I like the original more

@ Kakashi - Ditto

I saw a huge SNSD poster yesterday in a shop. It was probably 2m x 4m or so it was laminated and guess how much it cost?

Spoiler

$99AUD

Would you buy it?

 

[kakashi919]

Being able to wake up to SNSD everyday in the morning on my ceiling for $99AUD? Hell yeah I would buy it

 

[Iceiphoenix]

Haha If I saw a huge 2PM or TVXQ poster, I would definitely buy it too and you know what? I would've gotten it for $89.10 VIP member card FTW

But in my opinion, it wouldn't be very worth it, since you could buy their first official photobook (80 pages) for the same price, and it comes in an awesome box

So yes, anyway. I also saw individual SNSD posters of the members, keychains and trading cards. It's basically an store with a lot of Asian media such as dramas, anime and CDs.

Are there any shops near you that sells official SNSD merchandise?

 

[kakashi919]

The only individual poster I would get is Tiffany

Nope. There aren't any stores that I know of here that sells asian media. They will have anime and probably manga, but there's no where that I've heard of or seen that sells music. There maybe some Japanese music, like anime soundtracks and music like that, but they wouldn't have K-Pop.

It's kind of lame really.

 

[Iceiphoenix]

Ahh There's always buying online

Yeah, before I found the shop I was talking about before, I only knew about this other shop that only sold a few K-pop CDs, yet I worshiped it because seeing K-pop albums in real life was so rare But then I found the bigger shop and I nearly fainted because of the sheer amount of K-pop stuff

Actually, I don't have any SNSD merchandise at all

 

[kakashi919]

The problem with buying online is that some sites wouldn't ship to the Caribbean, but I'll have to check that out.

Haha I remember when I first started reading manga, I never saw it at all in real life. Then I went to the mall and there was a store selling Bleach and Naruto and all sorts of other manga and other merchandise. I couldn't believe my eyes lol. Now I want to get my hands on a shonen jump magazine straight from Japan

I don't any merchandise from any music artist or bands

 

[Iceiphoenix]

Ack, that sure sucks

Ditto about the manga!

I actually have quite a few CDs... about 20 or so I think I also have a lot of posters

I'm considering if I should get SNSD merchandise or not though

 

[kakashi919]

I had a Rurouni Kenshin OST CD years ago. That was probably the only Japanese Cd I ever had

If I ever get the chance to get some posters, SNSD is a must buy I would also get 4Minute and f(x) And Kara

 

[Iceiphoenix]

SNSD now has a 'Hoot' app for iPhones and iTouches!

The free version has the ‘Hoot’ teaser MV, application introduction clip, 10 images, and an ability to make your own movie poster with the SNSD girls.

The full version which is $5.99USD, has the stuff mentioned above, as well as the full MV, full length tracks and also more exclusive images

(On another note, they also have a Run Devil Run app out from earlier this year)

 

[kakashi919]

Well I don't have either of those, so i don't need those apps

But I wouldn't mind the exclusive images

 

[Iceiphoenix]

So apparently, SNSD might be expanding to Europe in 2011? (See bottom paragraph)

Have you guys heard or read about Jessica’s alleged sexual harassment?

You can read about it here.

And how SMENT is denying said "rumor" and blaming Allkpop for tarnishing SNSD's reputation. You can read about that here.



What are your guys' thoughts about it?

 

[Iceiphoenix]

Well in my opinion, I agree with Allkpop about the Korean article If a woman is harassed by a male, why would the woman be put to shame? It should most definitely be the man. I don't understand why SMENT would think it would ruin SNSD's reputation. I mean, if it was the other way around, then of course their reputation would be ruined. *Sigh*

 

[kakashi919]

Hmmmm... Well, it does seem that the allegations is true. Would it ruin their reputation? No, I don't see how it would... I don't know if it's true or not, but from her reaction on the video and the guy's reaction, I think it's true. She seemed really disgusted.

 

[Iceiphoenix]

MV for 'Snowy Wish' is out!
They used footage of behind-the-scenes from various MVs, CFs and photoshoots for this MV~ Awesome way to look back and wrap up the year.

 

[After_Image]

SNSD has partnered with Intel and are going to release a music video as an endorsement. The name of the song is 'Visual Dreams' and the entire music video will be out soon. Meanwhile here's the teaser.

 

[kakashi919]

Pretty weird video

I like it

 

[Iceiphoenix]

Full MV of Visual Dreams is out now~! My internet is capped so I can't watch it, so you guys give out your opinions please~!

 

[After_Image]

I'm glad Hyo gets more screen time in this music video even though I still think it's not enough. It's really catchy and the robotic dance is interesting probably going to be a signature dance as well. It was great how they made the Intel sound at the end.

In other news, here's a 30 second teaser of their Japanese version of 'Run Devil Run' which will be out on January 25th. Hope they make a music video to this too.
