NALINA Stuns and Scandalizes Netisims With First Comeback Stage Outfit

(tw: misogyny and sl*t-shaming)

March 5th, 2015 by Sarah Smith

While her music video for her first comeback single "Love Myself" was very dazzling and glamorous, NALINA gave a more chic feel in her comeback stage. Donning a @serenity-cc black off the shoulder sweater & matching black boots, but the more contentious detail is her @aharris00britney jean mini skirt.

Many thought the skirt was an inappropriate length and lamented over a perceived "lost innocence" of the 2nd Gen Sims-Pop idol. Being the maknae of legendary group Ki-Ti, she was always seen as a cute, pure idol. Her solo debut enforced this vibe with a wistful sound, short bob, and doll-esque styling.

(NALINA circa 2014 performing So-So)

From people simply being at the concept change to people theorizing at some sort of dark transformation, there is no shortage of disappointment.

However, "Love Myself" is still doing very well, outperforming her debut's initial reception in sales and initial chart performance. The song even performed a PAK like her debut and like her group is famous for doing 9 times in a row. So far, it seems like online discourse has also been dominated by overwhelming support. The criticism, while apparent, is not the majority opinion.

Netisims believe that the change in concept is exciting and enjoy the sassy, quirk-filled elements of this comeback. If you recall, the concept of the music video also garnered mixed reactions. However, people are referring to the contentious elements as eccentric and iconic.

Here's what Netisims had to say exactly:

I knew she wouldn't let us down. This is Lee Nayoung we're talking about. [5129, 472]

Is it weird to say this feels like a classic? [5001, 450]

Nation's It Girl for ya! [4720, 403]

She feels even more deserving of the "Nation's It Girl" title now. [5034, 723]

Ki-Ti strikes again! I can't wait for Im Yebin's movie this year! [4037, 37]

The outfit is STUNNING. I've never thought of buying clothes because of an idol but maybe this time. [5536, 834]

That skirt is kind of iconic. The whole thing actually. [5938, 1100]

*sigh*... another good girl gone bad. [2384, 1340]

That skirt is a little too extreme. [2143, 1422]

This looks like something Myeong Gaeun or Im Yebin would wear for a solo. This doesn't fit our baby hamster at all! [1732, 1420]

Times are really changing for the worst. She used to be someone I'd want my daughters to look up to, now she's influencing kids to dress like that. (edit: why are you downvoting me?? one of the top comments are proving me right!) [1420, 1204]

All female idols have to do is dress like wh*res and they'll be successful. Shameful. [923, 1239]

[jigseul]

I love you Yeseul, I'm loyal to you but! Cheon Bomi easily takes the cake for best visuals in this generation I think!

The Rap Monster

BLÜM Entertainment Presents…

Piece / By \ Piece: Episode Three

video transcript:

Another confident dorm member struts into the house

"Oh my. We already found Yumi's pair."

Says Ahn Yeseul.

"Hey, I'm Kim Jungmi."

Yeseul perks up.

"Oh? Kim Yumi and Kim Jugmi!"

"Hm?"

"Nothing, you're oozing confidence. I'm excited to see what you have in store."

"Cool! I'm a rapper. I'm inspired by our senior of course, Kim Hyeji. I was a huge fan of Ki-Ti, I had a huge poster of Love Beat era Hyeji on my wall."

Despite her cool demeanor, she slowly devolves into fan girling at the mention of Ki-Ti.

"Wow, me too! I feel like most of us auditioned because we were inspired by Ki-Ti growing up."

"Yes! I already loved rap because I loved Young Money, but Hyeji made me believe I could do it."

"That's amazing! So are we going to get a rap performance?"

"Yeah! I'm so pumped!"

Jungmi charismatically performs her own rap, channeling her biggest inspiration but keeping her own charm. Every syllable is clean and skillfully executed. She uses wordplay but even without them, her lyrics are clever.

"Oh... my... god... you're amazing? Where did BLUM find you?"

"Ahaha! Thank you!"

Jungmi perks up at the praise, clearly proud.

"Your hard work is very evident, Ms. Jungmi. I'm excited to work with you!"

"Right back at you!"

"Okay, are you ready to pick your bed?"

"Absolutely. Can I go to sleep right away, too?"

"No!"

Yeseul replies in sarcastic enthusiasm.

"But if you choose to pair with Yumi, you can meet your pair!"

Jungmi thinks for a moment, but only a short one.

"Yea! I don't know how many of us will be extroverts, so I'm going to take my chances!"

"Good! I'll let Yumi know and we'll all meet upstairs."

Upstairs, Yumi picks what is chosen as the "E" bedroom. In there is Yumi who greets Jungmi enthusiastically.

"Oh my gosh! Another E! We were watching you on the tv. We got another Hyeji on our hands!-"

"No, no, no don't say that."

Yumi immediately gets Jungmi flustered, a feat seemingly impossible a few minutes ago.

"HAHA! Look at your face!"

"...! What? Did you expect me not to flustered when you...! Whatever."

"Yeah, whatever. Just accept that you're adorable and move on."

"Cute?! Do you want to die?"

"Wow... their relationship has progressed scarily quick..."

"But Hyeji is my favorite Ki-Ti member too. She's the blueprint for every bias I had from then on, haha."

Says Yumi, letting Jungmi off the hook.

"Seriously! Every member I gravitate toward is always similar to Hyeji is some way."

"That's what I'm saying! Haha."

"You laugh a lot."

Jungmi notes sarcastically.

"You blush a lot."

"...!"

Hyeji is rendered speechless as she proves Yumi right.

"... I'm going to take a picture of this."

"Okay, wait!"

Both Jungmi and Yumi quickly pose, putting aside their bickering immediately.

"Great! Now I need someone to take a picture with me and Byeol- oh what the heck are you guys doing."

"... Anyway... You have to choose your bed now, Jungmi."

"Cool! I wanna be on the top by the window, so this one."

"Sorry, Yumi already-"

"You snooze you lose!"

Yumi triumphs.

"G****** you."

"What?!"

"What?!"

"I'll choose the bottom bunk then."

"So you can still be close to me?"

"Ugh."

Jungmi settles onto her bed only for Yumi to join her.

"Hey... this bed is kinda nice!

"Get lost."

In Ghost Keeper, You Are The Lord and Master Everyone Needs To Be Afraid Of!

Although I was not aware of the video game, Ghost Master, back when it was released back in 2003, to wait more than twenty years for a sequel feels unusual. BLUM Entertainment and Quest Craft‘s upcoming Ghost Keeper looks better than the original (after looking at YouTube gameplays), and the fact it’s set in 19th-century Victorian England is one way to catch my interest! I also get the feeling…

Oculus - Il riflesso del male

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo continuato a discutere di fumetti, spostandoci questa volta negli USA e prendendo in esame i comics, specialmente uno riguardante il mio supereroe preferito con Superman: Stagioni. La storia parla della crescita di Clark, da quando andava al liceo a Smallville fino a quando si è trasformato in Superman, compiendo gesti…

Introducing...Hannah Blum!

" My star will rise like... bubbles in champagne!"

Name: Hannah Leah Blum

Age: 30

Gender: cis female

Sexuality: unsure

Occupation: performer

Reason for flying: "This is my big break! I'm going to perform at the Sydney Opera House! In the ensemble, as an understudy...but the Sydney Opera House!"

Background: Hannah was born in Oakland, California and hadn't really found much reason to leave except on two occasions: 1995 and 1999. She was content to live in the sunny city; the area sure afforded her opportunity! Before she was even going to school she was joining her father onstage, providing a "cuteness factor" to his nightly comedy routines. Her high school was big into the arts and it was through performing that Hannah really came into her own. She had always loved people, especially making people happy, and so soon enough she was doing her own standup, borrowing from her dad but also creating new material. She volunteered at the community theatre, and slowly began to make her way up until what was once a fun extracurricular activity was now a paid gig! Studying Drama and Music at university was a no-brainer, and her list of connections just grew larger!

It was one embarrassing moment that really propelled her career forward, thrusting her into the public eye. In '95, Hannah went to Britain to participate in the televised talent show, Stars in Their Eyes. All her training paid off, and she steadily advanced through the competition until she was in the top three. Thrilled, she opened her mouth to sing, as she had countless times before, and belched, straight into the microphone. Rather than continuing, however, she got so upset at the laughing judges she chucked the microphone at one of the judges, giving him a nasty bruise and making her "the burping singer" across the United Kingdom (and maybe other parts of the world). In a way, performing in Sydney is Hannah's way of making up for that embarrassment, which still haunts her.

'M3GAN' Review

#M3GANMovie Review: "The film works better when it taps into the psychology of AI and how it works for/against humans through Cady. The main issue is that the “good parts” were already shown in the trailer."

By: Amanda Guarragi A new year means new movies, but January doesn’t always have the best track record. When horror movies are released this early in the year, they seem to have it rough. They’re not always great, but they’re still watchable. M3GAN, directed by Gerard Johnstone, is all the campy fun you would want from a slasher film, but it lacks in the kills. Megan is a “toy” that was created…

BREAKING: New Episode of Piece/By\Piece Crashes SimsTube Due To The Beauty of the New Resident

March 17th, 2015 by Seth Choi

Piece/By\Piece, a show vague about it's participants and posted by BLÜM Entertainment, has been trending since the first official episode. The combination of the rumor that this is BLÜM's next girl group and the charisma and beauty of the members have helped it become a trending topic.

The two most popular members in terms of beauty so far have been Ahn Yeseul, the host, and Kim Yumi.

However, when today's episode was released it wasn't just the overwhelming beauty of one Cheon Bomi that garnered attention. It was her humble personality and good outlook. Her name trended almost immediately and people scrambled to watch the video, crashing SimsTube.

Once the site was back up, the video was #1 on trending.

Holy sh** [15034, 234]

Her proportions are good too. She's almost too perfect... [14239, 138]

I need her to drop her skin and haircare routine. Her hair is so thick and long... and I don't think she's wearing ANY makeup. [15649, 420]

I wish I looked like that in a sweater and jeans... she looks advertisement ready [16293, 532]

Ahn Yeseul is right, her name is just as pretty as she is. It's kinda f****** annoying lol [14034, 334]

And Myeong Gaeun's sister is going to be in this group too? Between Cheon Bomi, Kim Yumi, and Myeong Gayoung this group is stacked visually. [13239, 402]

I can see them through the shirt teehee [1024, 16439]

BLÜM Entertainment's has now grown in subscribers to keep track of the group. It is also reported that this week's episode of Running Sim has tanked in viewership because it ran around the same time this was all happening.

What do you think?

[jigseul]

I totally get if you guys want justice from Siimpi if they wronged you... but don't turn this into a fanwar! Some of PZSN have already shown love for FROST and I'm sure some of the girls will become good friends! Knowing Yeseul, she'll probably lead the way since FROST debuted in the same year. She's naturally kind and extroverted!

Game... Start!

BLÜM Entertainment presents...

Piece / by \ Piece: prologue

video transcript:

A woman enters a house, seeming shocked by the interior.

She takes in her surroundings before apologizing:

"Oh my, I'm sorry! I forgot I was being recorded for a second. Hello! My name is Ahn Yeseul."

Yeseul seems hesitant before speaking again.

"Here's my outfit for today. I was told to wear something that is natural and comfortable for me. I wear something like this most days... sorry if it's not great *nervous laugh*. Um, my MBTI is ISTJ."

"I love making connections with people but I personally hate the process to do so. Today with the help of BLÜM Entertainment, I'll be working on that and helping others do the same. I'm a little excited actually."

Her watch dings and alerts her to walk upstairs.

Yeseul does as she's told and seems excited but a bit conflicted about the rooms she's shown. She gasps upon seeing a window that reveals yet another bedroom.

She enters the next one.

"Ah, the other room has one more bed than this one... is it super introverted of me to be drawn to the single bed?"

One last time, her watch dings and tells her she has first pick of the beds.

"Perfect!"

The video ends with her relaxing on the bed with a book, text overlaying on the screen saying:

Tune in every Sunday to see which room each girl picks!

Exclusive Interview with the Cast of 'The Gallows'

Looking through my vast collection of movie interviews, I came across this one which I did with the cast of “The Gallows.” Released back in 2015, it is a found footage horror film written and directed by Chris Lofing and Travis Cluff, and it opens up on a production of a play called, coincidentally, “The Gallows” which was done at Beatrice High School back in 1993. Everything looks to be going…
