i felt so numb after hearing yesterday’s news. i didn’t know what to think or feel. it was a somber day.
RIP Jonghyun.

1. Heart Attack
2. Girl’s Talk (feat. Yves)
I wish I was more excited for this, but Jonghyun’s passing still has me fucked up.
Can we take a moment to appreciate this underrated song/video from an underrated album.
I’ve also just noticed how very MJ, Janet and circa-2000s Britney the video is.

I’m still bitter as fuck, tbh. I’m not really much of a TWICE fan and missA filled that more mature girl group gap in JYP’s roster.
Speaking of missA:
This is really cute. Jackson has got to ditch that gruffly rapping he acquired during the Flight Log series. Jia also posted a statement on the disbandment on instagram/youtube:
Words can hardly describe how I feel when the dissolution news came out. Fei, Jia, Min, and Suzy formed missA. Likewise, missA made me who I am today. I am so grateful to have these unforgettable memories with my teammates and a sincere thank you JYP Entertainment. The process of being independent is like an eagle learning to fly. So please bless me. Let’s keep good #Mood and carry on.
I’m not really quite sure why she’s commenting on the whole thing considering she left the group in 2016, but okay, werk sis.
The newer tracks sound amazing. I feel like they could have expanded it a bit by adding Japanese versions of their latest singles, but I guess that’s Avex for you.
Damn, BLACKPINK’s Wonder Girls cover is amazing. Wish they’d release it on Spotify and Apple Music.
Everything about her English language debut was underrated; she needs to try it again, because she’d smash it!
I need this album NOW. There’s only so many times I can listen to this YouTube rip I have in my iTunes.

I could have sworn I posted “Jazzclub” when I made the BoA post. A mess.
It’s Scott’s fault.
BLACKPINK’S Jennie is the new face of Chanel Beauty in Korea.
Also where did her New Zealand accent go…
Also, all members of T-ara have successfully completed their contractual duties with MBK. MBK is supposedly holding onto the T-ara brand so it looks like we’ll have another B2ST/HIGHLIGHT case where the girls re-brand. They’re all taking a hiatus and then we should be hearing news with OT6 reuniting. Let’s hope they snag a label that truly cares for them.
