correct me if i'm wrong but korean group rookies in 2012 are bap, nu'est, btob, and exo. 

well we probably more aware of exo because they debut from a big company, SM Entertainment and they teased us with so many teasers and they are divided into 2 groups who constantly perform in china and korea at the same time and singing the same song. 

2am Changmin once said : determinant factor for a song to be successful >> 50% from the music itself and the other half comes from the look of the member (whether is he/she handsome/pretty/cute/sexy), performance on the stage (outfit), choreography, advertisements.

for me, i think since its a new group, they rely heavily on advertisement or on this case is THE TEASER. throughout the pre-debut period i think the exposure that Exo's get is far beyond the other group. they release 20 something teasers (geez thats a lot) and for btob they come from cube (we all know cube has some huge stars : beast, 4minute, gna, and apink). nu'est and bap come from weaker company (in terms of financial strength, debuting this idol group requires huge investment esp for group like exo with millions of teaser + showcase, not to mention the living costs). this financial strength really determines their marketing, the more backup they have the bigger the promotions. yeah, so in this case exo wins. 

for their live performances, sm artists sometimes have exhausting but cool choreography on their debut song (ex: snsd-into the new world) and it applies too on EXO. personally i'm looking forward to their stages on mubank, mucore, and inkigayo. but sadly they did poorly on mubank. they showed unstable voice throughout history. i'm kinda disappointed. but on mucore they did better. i mean why did they sang poorly on mubank? this job called idol demand perfection. after seeing exo's debut stage, i compared it with bap, nu'est, and btob. well these 3 groups did some mistakes as well but i dont know, as a whole exo made the biggest mistake on their live singing. in this case i think btob wins with their singing. 

in terms of their debut song. i like nu'est and btob song the most, followed by exo and the last one is bap. nu'est and btob's song give a refreshing feeling and clean & clear voice. esp for nu'est their song feels more catchy and it was composed by Swedish songwriter Daniel Bergman. btob garnering interest due to their cooperation with Britney Spears's composer known as Jörgen Elofsson. for bap, i dont think they nailed it yet. 

their image. exo image is based on 12 forces story. so basically the management want people to look at EXO as a symbol of perfection, with their looks + their dance abilities + singing + other talents (language, martial arts, etc) and also set the new standard for idol group. from what i see they need to work on more on their live singing (but i admit they got better in mucore). for btob i look at them as if they are baby version of beast haha (well they are a youngest group in cube). their name is purposed to tell the world that they are giving new beat and new performances and they intended to impress the music world. well after saw their debut stage, i do impress with their singing. all of them has the same level for singing abilities (just like beast). for nu'est their unique selling point is their music style 'urban electro' and indeed Face is catchy. bap said to be tough, bad boy image, smashing car windows, kicking up dirt and, you know, doing as boys do. well with their blonde hair, sure the message is delivered. but which is more appealing to the public? 

their looks. i will not compared them based on this. because god gives us our looks which we have to be grateful for it. and talent goes beyond looks. 

well if we are talking about idol group, they are singer nevertheless and as a singer they are bound to have a popular song title to get acknowledgement, like big bang in 2008 is the start of their golden days with haru-haru (but before that they get so many exposures too, since they are not some cute-girl like boyband or snsd, they nail it with gee in 2009 with 9 consecutive wins on music shows. and now/ they are soaring (i take example from these 2 groups because according to forbes korea both of them are influential group in korea)

the question is which of this rookie group do you think can soar like bigbang and snsd? 

imo, the name exo will be forever know because they are under a big company, with smtown concert all over countries. the other groups maybe have to struggle more tho get their group name known in world stage. for yong guk & himchan (bap), kai (exo) they already have place in public because they get mentions more often than other member

like father like son :P 

if he's the one, he won't go anywhere honey
just be patient. allah always give u what u need, not what u want, cause sometimes, what you want is not what you really need

oh gosh! i just finished watching criminal minds season 3! omg omg, im so curious about the ending.. all of the team got into the suvs, but one of the suvs was blown up! and I DIDNT KNOW WHICH ONE IN THE SUVS !!!!
im guessing maybe derek morgan, the place before he got in the suv is match to the scene was taken when the suv blew up.. but it might be JJ, cause she's like really pregnant! and in the real life, she's really expecting, and its due in october.. while, the season 4 begin on september 24th, so maybe JJ should take time off.. so the director, making this accident as a reason for JJ not showing in the next season.. but thats mean, JJ will die right?? aawww I DONT WANT THAT.. what the team can possibly do without her.. T_T no one should leave the team.. well maybe gideon will be back.. but i dont want to loose JJ or Morgan or Reid or Garcia or even Prentiss and Hotch and Rossi.. although i dont like rossi, but he;s already part of the team! but if he in the blown up suv than, its ok, maybe gideon will replace him :D

for you who have seen spiderwick... you know rite when mr spiderwick took by the slyph in order to save him from goblins.. and then in the end, mr spiderwick came back, with the slyph around him, he took his only child, lucynda, with him.. well.. for some reason, i think there will be some time, when the time has come for my mother to die (i hope that it will never happen), i wish those slyphs will take me and my mother and my brother, so we can stay together.. living with no end.. keep us young and forget about time and other things.. for some reason, i was sad with spiderwick's ending..

i realize that someday there will be our end, each of us. maybe for ka riri, her journey stopped when she was 16.. and other people is given 100 years to live this life. we don't know, when and where our time will end. we live in this world alone. we were born through our mom's vagina alone, no one accompanied us.. so why do we have to afraid to leave this world alone.. yes we're social creatures. we can't leave without others, but other's just helping us as the hand of god.. it is us, to decide how to treat those hands.. all the suggestions, anger, sadness, happiness, disaster, and etc are just warning for us. not that we made any mistakes, but that's the point, those warns are given to keep us on the right way.. yet, we made so much mistakes, and yes we regretted it, but if we didn't do wrong, then how do we know the right way ?? mistakes are just mistakes, its up to you whether you want to learn from it or you just want to leave it.

and all those 'signs' are given to us, to direct us to good things.. i trust it and i have faith in it. you might not like the way you are now, but have you consider that the way you are know is good for your future ?? i haven't find any answers to that either. but i just believe that everything happens to you, is just signs from the future, so you can get a better place in the future. some might realize the message some might not.

i have new addiction! hahahahhaah im so crazy about 'criminal minds' its a tv series from cbs.. although im not to familiar with the casts.. but actually they're really good meh meh meh.. okaay, for u who doesn't understand 'criminal minds'.. the story is about BAU in FBI, BAU is Behavioral Analysis Unit.. their job is to find why people tend to be serial killer, more phsycologicly and victimology. they solve their cases from victimology point of view.. its pretty interesting because there're people who i used to think, that they're nerd and very unsocial, and then after i watched criminal minds, i see them as a very cool bunch of guys..
well if you don't mind  to see some blood and wounds, you should see this tv series, its so addictive..

well i know, hahah i liked korean drama before (but i still do) and now, suddenly  watched detective series such as bones and criminal minds.. pretty weird huh?! but yaah, im trying to watch new things, besides right now currently airing korean dramas are not so good, the story is not showing much creativity than before.. so yah i kinda bored.. but thats ok, i still love korea aahahh..

ow yeah, i think im gonna watch ugly betty too. hahah i know! dont blame me! im a tv series junkie.. and i have nothing to do in this holiday.. hahaha and i think i become unsociable.. :(
