    I believe this frenzy is only for the popularity award. :)I guess we all have long accepted that Baeksang panel is working on a different set of standards. International fans are very much aware that we don't have any influence on that and any drama or actor's work are measured based on how they were received in their native SOKOR. And for that, we can only have our delulu put on overdrive.

     

    But if this popularity award will be given based on the same premise, then they shouldn't have opened it to international fans. ;)


    nono don’t read me wrong. I am talking in reference to the awards determined by the judges only, namely the best actor/best actress and the Daesang. 
     

    the Frenzy I am referring to in this context is the general hype from fans all over the world revolving the Baeksang awards and in Baeksang tradition, the popularity awards is open for all internationally as a people’s choice awards and it’s awarded ultimately on a Korean stage. 
     

    Haha not everyone is like you that is aware of the fact that international fans yield no influence to move mountains with judges especially so if you follow intensively throughout SNS and even here, it’s not difficult to find that out, maybe even Bruno knows that pretty well too lol

  2. All these frenzy reminds me of something someone always reminds me, the official awards given out by Baeksang are from Koreans to Koreans. They do not care how popular you are in another particular country if you are not even popular or outstanding in your own native country and that would be South Korea. Having a strong fan base or people who support your work there is a given. 
     

    everyone from your own respective countries can have your own views and bias and end up fighting among yourself or with others bias fans but don’t expect the Koreans panel of judges from any awards to share exactly the same sentiments towards your bias or your favorite TV drama/movie. That way you can keep any disappointment to the barest minimum and not complain about it later because ultimately whatever awards of any genre(including non-acting related ones) given to your Korean bias means nothing if it’s not awarded in Korea by an official body unless it’s an Oscar no less. That’s a very legit reason why seasoned or experienced fans of veteran korean artists or idols do not partake in anything that calls for voting outside of Korea since it makes no difference to their bias. 
     

    Again pls go through the many official references in Korea preferably in Hangul to know the lowdown of South Korea entertainment industry if you are not convinced. 
     

    This post is for the people who are not aware or have no clues and my above points are not in reference to the popularity awards. It’s for the awards that are determined by the judges like best actress/actor or even the Daesang

    @charray share it on 6th Febuary at the page 83. Yap! that was before COVID19 hit korea, before V@st DM about the Busan restaurant photos too.. 

     

    its refer to this tweet

     

    “They (HB SYJ) went for lunch with their managers after filming ended in Incheon. Headed to Cheongju after this to continue filming. Not sure if they’re dating but definitely on good terms.” #CrashLandingOnYou pic.twitter.com/nezDL4BUdk

    Amazzingggg you! You actually remembered! The one in the video just released is just one of the few restaurants they ate together with the rest during CLOY filming.
    the one in that tweet you quoted Feb was eating together in incheon and the video that’s just released is in Seoul quite to TVN I remembered. So ya they have dined together multiple times! 
    Actors have to eat anyways lol 

     

    Since I am here now I just want to say Congratulations to all nominees of the 56th Baeksang Arts Awards though I have to admit some names caught me by surprise. Please remember not to bash anyone, they are all nominated for a good reason!

    @Chewy How is the prediction list for Baesang nomination for tomorrow looking? I remember you were going to compile the list :)


    you must have read me wrong! I ask for people to send me DM on their predictions. No talks of any compilation in the making lol 

     

    and so far none of the ones who DM me have got the nominees exactly right for each category but it’s great to see you guys participating!! 
    I am still hoping for that one lucky person with that divine intervention lol and I am sure that someone is out there! 
     

    also please all take note that before the official nominees list is released, there might be fake list going around. Just wait for the official list to be released. And look out for official media and soompi is one to check out. I am sure all relevant media is gearing up for the release coming up in no time

  5. Honestly why the veterans here don’t post anymore? Because like one veteran member said before, it gets really toxic here sometimes and we noticed it usually comes from the same breed of people from the same continent and we wonder why? 
     

    so if you can find some members that you can click with, form your own DM group to keep your own and others sanity. For the peace and love of all mankind

  6. Can we do something fun? The official Baeksang nominees list for the public would be out on 8th which is this Friday. We probably get the heads up slightly earlier. Can you guys PM me your predictions for the nominees and see how many of them you got right? 
     

    Take note that would be no fan cam this year and you can only count on JTBC and the respective media that’s there to bring you closeups of our couple should they be there!

    Do you know where I can watch from Europe? I am based in the UK. 


    Oh wow, I believe there would be a dedicated YouTube channel from JTBC just for Baeksang if you can catch the timing it starts at 5pm KST. If there isn’t, then get a strong internet connection and tap on to any streaming website that allows you to watch JTBC channel. Hope this helps you well!!

    Did you mean to say "then it should not have your serious attention"?

     

    Just curious because I'm not quite sure I understood what you said :sweatingbullets:


    you posted out a legit error in my writing! This is what happens when one tries to backread a hundred pages! Have amended my post to be understood better.

    @Chewy So you think that dispatch is just testing the water? There is really nothing fishy about their recycled post re:binjin’s investments? 


    Its not my opinion, this is really just Dispatch in retrospect. In relation to this particular article, there is nothing more to it than what it is. That disclaimer at the end of that article pretty much says it all. 
     

    There is possibility that it could be a prelude to something breaking in the future. I am talking in specifics to this recent article by Dispatch only.

  9. Lol you be surprised that these fans who made such comments about SYJ are the exact fans who claimed to love her too much to have her married off. They want her to be always single. They feel they own her. Not necessarily when one talks bad about the other, it’s always the ones from the opposite camp. 
     

    Fans would always be fans no matter how hard you try. 99.99% have never even met these 2 people in their real lives and they both would never have known you existed too so don’t hoard something that you don’t own in the first place.

  10. Hyun Bin actually meant that if he didn’t let go of her hand, they both would be hurt in that video. He did not say if I let go of your hand, we will both fall. That’s definitely translation or fans interpretation gone wrong somehow. Even in Netflix, they use the word “wounded” but listening to it in korean, I would use the word “hurt” 

     

    He felt that by letting her hands go, it would prevent her from getting hurt but YJ didn’t think so.

  11. LOL this China idol ZTao is intoxicated with CLOY ever since he is hooked. It’s too funny how a handsome young boy can be this involved. He is even losing sleep over CLOY. 黃子韜來姐姐跟你秀秀哈哈

    He cried along with the drama and say how can HB be so handsome and perfect and how SYJ is so pretty and wish for them to be happy together. 
    this boy is influential in China and have a massive following, his video have trended many times and it would bring another wave of popularity to CLOY for those who have not watched.

    YJ, for me, has always been more difficult to decipher because she's trained herself to be naturally outgoing and playful. Professionally, there seemed to be less boundary restraints with HB which may have opened the doors to the unnecessary skinship we saw. (In a career that spans 20 years, I actually think she has very limited skinship - yes, even with 2 or 3 of her movies that were considered a bit more risque.) 

     

    The biggest shift - she is a bit less alpha next to HB. Did she even make one quip during the press conference? And at the same time, she has these bickering matches with HB that is more couple than co-star. Most of us saw this during the rounds of press. I've watched her interviews with KNG and even SJS. They may playfully joke around or she may slightly be irritated, but I don't ever recall them having exchanges that seemed to be more fitting one-on-one. If we compare SYJ + HB interviews from 2018 and 2019, the difference in these are even noticeable.

     

    btw, I couldn't agree more about HB. A lot of people are rooting for these two ... and admittedly, I think they are a bit intimidating given their visuals, character, intelligence and success.


    babe, food for thought. Has it ever occurred to you or anyone here that she is less alpha to HB simply because he is actually more alpha than she is? 
    And that her actions of manhandling notwithstanding the course of actions is just her trying to “gangster” him because she has always being sassy and feisty herself? 
     

    When we meet our match in life, natural reflexes almost always comes to play. 
    And that to me promotes longevity in any relationship simply because that perfect match is unparalleled!

  13. And since so many of you are here now and some hung up on whether HB got how many brothers or whether he have completed masters and so many of you can analyze from top to bottom of them, how is it that no Yejin fans here since there is an army of you guys can provide me more info on 1) her family background? 2) do you realize or observe or feel that HB was the only one she allowed to be this comfortable and do all these skinships with her based on your observations especially so if you are a long time fan? 
     

    Please share generously with me your insights and thoughts or facts you know regarding my qns. 
    I want to know cos I really dunno? Take the time to give me answers pls so I can complete factsheet on her. 
    Journalist got homework to do too and the best people to ask for contents would be the fans! 
     

    I need as many inputs as I can get. Even a simple yes no in your opinion to my 2 questions would suffice. Only 2 qns so don’t be shy or afraid. Lol

  14. Very detailed one on HB! And very well done with many insights. I have seen the original in Hangul. Reading it again in English, this one I copy and paste particularly stood out to me. 
    Wow the way he answers this particular question is mind blowing! I have never seen or heard anyone doing the same before. Just wow~~

     

    Q: Although I used the topic of watches, on the one hand I have heard you say before that you always try to make a complete distinction between your private and public life, on the other hand, I am really curious. Is it really possible to separate your private life? You aren’t just a normal public figure as well (referring to him being an exceptionally well known figure).
    A: We're not public figures, so I don't know why people call us public figures. We're just people who are famous to the public.
    Should we broaden the definition of a public figure?
    It's a bit vague. It's unclear whether there's a standard for defining who are public figures. Are we public figures because the public can see, imitate, and learn from us, but why are we public figures because we're not elected? But I think it is because of the speciality of my job that makes me a famous figure. I am just a person who became famous because of the job that I do. It's indeed very vague, but it is not easy to separate things into the private from the public.

    Q: I can perfectly understand why it is like that.
    A: That’s why I'm trying to do more (referring to the separation). I am thinking and I ask myself, if I reach a situation where there are a lot of people who know me well personally, would they want to see me when I am on the screen? If they have a lot more data about me than I've got out there, do you think they would be curious? If it’s me, I don't think I would be curious about such a person. Of course, there are people whom I know who appear on the screen and it can be more fun watching them, but I still think it would be a lot better to not know.
