Free Talk
The “Devaluation of idols” – What is wrong with being an idol? How are idols perceived by their peers in the entertainment industry and the public in general. Brought on by a recent Jaejoong interview in which he says he wants to be an idol forever.  Noelle had to fill her JYJ quota somehow.

Kpop Crystal Ball-

We gaze into the mysterious not-so-distant future to determine which members of popular idol groups will continue on to have prominent careers in the entertainment industry after their groups disband and which will fade into the background (or oblivion).  First up on the docket, we tackle Super Junior, and we have no idea if we even managed to point out all of the members.

Artist Spotlight-

Loveholic(s)

We talked about this underground Fluxus artist before but never gave them the spotlight, so we decided to let Noelle take it away.  As always, “Dramatic and Cinematic” is her favorite album by the group.

Founded by Kang Hyun Min, Lee Jae Hak and Jisun, the female vocalist Jisun departed in 2007 due to “creative differences”, however, that didn’t stop the other two members from continuing to create music.  They reformed as Loveholics and employed a rotating lineup of featured vocalists.
