ㄴ.ㅇ.ㅅ.ㅌ Record Teaser #1 

[okdr]

It’s been ages since I did wishlists for upcoming years... 

http://okdr.tumblr.com/post/41860497912/pledis-keeps-granting-some-of-my-wishes

http://okdr.tumblr.com/post/26852227853/my-pledis-2012-wish-list-updated-july-9th-added

So long that Pledis has changed a lot since then. I stopped doing wishlists when I saw music promotions for After School weren’t being granted, Hello Venus joint project became Fantagio’s group without Ara & Yoonjo, and NU’EST wasn’t getting the LOVE they deserved translated into album sales... I was also tired of hoping for a SEVENTEEN debut date in vane. I mean, that I knew they would debut eventually, but just keeping high expectations for a certain period, was frustrating, so I decided it was better to just chill meanwhile. This 2017 started with a blow and sad decision that ended up being for the best: NU’EST JR, Minhyun, Baekho and Ren taking part in survival music show contest, Produce 101. I wasn’t fearing at all for SEVENTEEN or PRISTIN, not even for After School, a group I had the theory Pledis is just waiting for the right to to declare it dissolved or to blow us with a revamp (both possibilites are there, but I believed more the first one). The year has been satisfactory enough for me. I am not going to complain as a Playgirlz, the only thing that bugged me was Pledis complete omission of After School’s 8th Year Anniversary. They are still keeping the brand and the remaining members, even if they don’t use the name when they introduce themselves (or some rather use Orange Caramel’s), it was an ugly move towards the fans whom are still supporting them. However, this year Pledis did the right thing to follow up to Han Dong Geun’s success and to properly reward BUMZU -whom might had sign under them with a promise of seeing his singing career re-launched if he worked as a producer for their acts first- with single releases and a final mini-album. Yes, we quite didn’t have official notices until recently on his releases, but in the end, Pledis stood up and did what was expected if they want BUMZU to have a succesful singing career. Even Raina got promotions! Which is more than I previously expected earlier this year. Oh, and NANA kept taking big steps into her acting career and RENEWED her contract with Pledis. That certaintly made my year. I was debating whether I’d do a 2018 Wishlist or not, because it’s been ages since I used to do that, but This year has settled such high standards for Pledis that I need to do it. MY 2018 WISHLIST: 1.The remaining Orange Caramel members to also renew their contracts.

I won’t say I have high hopes. I always kept my hopes for Raina, but this year Lizzy has been posting on SNS like she felt leaving Pledis was something bound to happen when her contract expires. It doesn’t necessarily mean she will or that she trully meant what she said whenever hinting at Pledis not caring much to give her work to do. NANA surprised me because, after Uee’s decision, I thought that maybe none of the AS girls whom had solo careers launched (acting, modeling or singing) saw the perks of staying at Pledis. 2.For Pledis to keep giving NANA reasons to renew after 2 years. I read that’s the longest she’s signed up for. It looks like she’s giving them a chance to step up their game as agents for her acting career. People whom love to follow dramas and actors often point out that Pledis isn’t a strong company in that department, however, they have always managed to launch their idols into performing for dramas and even movies. The key point is getting them into bigger roles for bigger succesful dramas and movies to become more influential in that world. 3.For all acts to be healthy, on leave members to come back.

And no more drama on SNS regarding anything or anyone. Certaintly, no more FAT-shaming. See what Bekah experienced from K-netizens repeat once again with Kyla trully made me sick. Especially after K-netizens played such a huge role into Oh My Girls’ JinE’s relapse to anorexy.  Minghao also hope his back injury heals and he takes proper care from now on, because injuries can always come back. 4.For Pledis to keep doing what they did right during this 2017.

Seriously, they don’t even need to step up their game. Just to follow the path they’re walking right now. And, yes, to not screw up (again) this time. Keep that expensive new website up-to-date for once. 5.For fans to unite even more and to support with whatever means are at each one’s reach BUMZU. I do believe he deserves it. He works so hard for everyone at Pledis, he sings beautifully, he deserves some of that love he gives back. I also believe that Han Dong Geun doesn’t need any special extra support, he’s just adorkable and he does have a huge fan-base in South Korea (or so it seems), plus he’s in a niche-market and still manages to sell decently. 6.Give us more Happy Pledis interaction. Heaven deserves an MV. But I guess we should give the Dance Practice more views first, don’t you think? I don’t believe Pledis will invest their money into releasing that song if the DP video doesn’t go trully viral. This post’s photo is my personal suggestion LOL, but other convos are welcomed. 7.If AS are going to come back (Kpopalypse predicts it, and he’s a good predictor), not to be a random and badly planned one. Otherwise, I rather have them not promoting with music.

Quoting Playboyz Adam, 

This fandom doesn't want an After School comeback, this fandom just wants a comeback with After School members.

Which I do find to have a certain truth. People are desperate to see the remaining members back with some music, but it really doesn’t equal that people want what the group, AS, was created for and stands for to come back with music. Which could imply new additions or even some graduations. I also don’t want just whatever song and concept to be chosen for a come back. If AS are bound to come back, I want the whole company and the involved members to profoundly think about what are they going to bring into the table and to do it in order for the group concept to continue in this new era. Not a come back to keep us content for a short while that would probably don’t get the results we all need for AS to keep existing in this new K-Pop. I don’t want a Rainbow 2.0 happen. 8.Is Yoonjo trully there? Think wisely what are you going to do with her then. I think she’s out of The Unit, isn’t she? (Couldn’t find her name anymore nor her face in the performances). I wouldn’t mind her joining AS if needed. Just don’t waste the girl a second time around if it’s true she’s under you again. 9.Open new subscriptions for your FC! Selfishly, I missed ㄴ.ㅇ.ㅅ.ㅌ. ‘s second recruitment this year (hadn’t the money either), and I waited for ages to be able to join that FC, along to Playgirlz... I am not sure if recruitment has happened for HIGH’s yet (and don’t know if DONNI’s works the same).CARATs, we sort of assumed (?) this year that we shall renew that yearly (?). 10.For the fandoms to be respectful with each other. Acknowledge that each act has worked its own path and no-one trully owes the other nothing for the hard work they’ve put into their training and debut.  Investments and funds trully don’t work on just milking a single act, not ever since Son Dambi. She was the one whom spent a certain time being the only idol under Pledis’ roof, helping the company to take shape thanks to her success (that obviosuly attracted investments to develop future projects). While your favs were making money, AS members were also working their arses with solo stuff or even group promotions overseas, some even bringing in huge amounts of money thanks to their CM deals (Uee, Juyeon, NANA...) and NU’EST were being overworked in Japan. They owe you nothing. Of course without SEVENTEEN’s success, probably Pledis wouldn’t had never planned to debut a large group like PRISTIN afterwards, but the girls also paved their own path competing in Produce 101 and training for even longer that some of SEVENTEEN members, so hating on them is like hating on NU’EST because some people  believed Uee was sustainting the whole company back when NU’EST debuted. You don’t have to like all the acts under Pledis, but disrespecting them and throwing your ignorance on them at the Net (usually hateful comments show a complete ignorance on the hated subject), only brings your hate right back at you and your whole fandom, plus helps shaping a certain image of unwanted fandom among others. Besides it is rude to the fans that support more than one act or the whole lot. That also applies to non-Pledis’ acts’ fandoms. Fanwars between company factions are always trully ugly to see.

[trans] Baekho’s Thanks To (W, HERE)

BAEKHO: Just the fact that with this album we are able to stand by your side makes me so happy and joyful. Many things happened on our journey to today, but for telling us do the best we can until the end and so that we don’t forget our dream, for being our greatest support for such a long time and in the future, thank you so much to our President Han Sungsoo. For thinking so much about how we can best shine and always worrying about us, thank you, Vice President Kim Yeonsoo. In addition, for running together with us for our sake all day and night, thank you to the Pledis staff. Also, Bumzu-hyung, for treating our work, no matter what it was, just as and even more carefully than your own, thank you so much. I’m happy because by being at your side, I’ve learned so many things and had so much fun. Even if I experience hardships, thanks to hyung, I’ll be able to endure. Finally, to our fans, our members, the company, and family, for making us able to do our activities while smiling, thank you so much. My strength! My ㄴ.ㅇ.ㅅ.ㅌ! I love you!

fandom ㄴ.ㅇ.ㅅ.ㅌ (pronounced LOVE from the way you spell Nu’est in Korean 뉴이스트) fandom color hot pink

did pretty well during debut promotions but popularity kept declining due to shitty promotions from company and lack of comebacks  

many thought Nu’est was near disbandment

4 members (Jonghyun, Minki, Minhyun and Dongho) joined Produce 101 Season 2 in hopes of proving their skills and saving Nu’est

all four members made it to the finale but only Minhyun made it into the top11 (#9) and got to debut with wanna-one 

other members ranked 13 (Dongho), 14 (Jonghyun) and 20 (Minki)

but they did not fail because they did prove themselves throughout the show and gained a lot of popularity internationally and nation-wide

A hug for the ㄴ.ㅇ.ㅅ.ㅌ fandom!

Even though we’re sad, let’s acknowledge all the hard work they did:

JR proved himself as a leader to national producers and most importantly, to himself!

Let’s acknowledge Aron waiting on the sidelines and quietly supporting his members!

Baekho for slowly gaining his confidence back and taking charge to help his fellow trainees! He also caught the attention of National Producers for his vocal ability and many sides!

Minhyun getting into Wanna One, showing off his honey vocals, showcasing good teamwork, and staying humble!

Ren, for bringing the fun and sass to PD101, recruiting new Gaga fans, nailing his performances, and adopting half of the trainees (😂).

Let’s keep supporting both Wanna One and NU'EST!

If anyone wants to vent, my ask box is open!

[choiminkilovestory]

ㄴ.ㅇ.ㅅ.ㅌ’s are the strongest fandom

(especially us old timers). I can’t help but feel our relationship with the boys is something you can’t find in all fandoms. Those who stan super popular groups have it so easy. It hurts my heart thinking about NU’EST on PD101 and Minhyun not being with us. There have been so many ups and (many many) downs over the years. But we’re still here <3 I’ve been here since the beginning, and I’m not leaving.
