Photo of ayumi used in the frontpage of Singapore's The Strait Times's LIFE
Saw this 1st thing in the morning when I begin my daily rountine of reading my country's The Strait Times newspaper so I decided to get it scanned before I forget x)
 The article itself is quite depressing (why KPop Beats JPop _|_) ~_~ but it was kinda nice of ST to use this photo of ayumi :3 Which reminds me , where's this photo of ayumi taken from ?

Are they not factoring in the fact that Kpop in Japan may be a complete fad?

oh no they didnt just put taeyeon and ayu side by side?!!?
putting TAEYEON on the status of Ayu is like WHOA and must they deliberately put the jpop in small caps.. Last edited by freedreamer; 26th April 2012 at 02:59 AM.

didn't really help matters that in the email option , they wrote 'which's better ? jpop or kpop ? '
 seriously , Strait Times is asking for trouble big time . Already when Adeline Chia wrote about her dislike towards kpop a while back ago , a whole flood of emails if not angry tweets were fired at her & now this ? I think ST is running outta ideas on what to write in the LIFE section ~_~

I love J-Pop and K-Pop, I wouldn't place one over the other. I think the Korean wave just really seems to be hot right now.
In general, not smart for this magazine to publish such an article. Last edited by AyuBlackwind; 26th April 2012 at 03:12 AM.

Considering the majority of K-pop lovers, i might even think people would support this? And afterall is it a (sad..very very sad) fact. But argh...i told my friend Taeyeon is on the cover but I didnt tell him what the article is about knowing his love for Taeyeon..I mean, I dunno what to feel..It's like now K-pop fans have a reason to...say something about J-Pop because even the papers report it?

 I personally think the journalists in ST are running outta ideas when comes to writing in the Entertainment section of ST . You can write so many things but why they keep going back to the same old story of kpop vs jpop , which's better & why ? cos at the end of the day , it's so subjective :x

but i guess they just want more younger viewership and to make it seem like they are going the write way and all that... edit: I've read the article..it basically talks about how K-pop markets itself as a whole. which is what I feel WORKS too. And one of my friends who read it also said, its proabbly because of society now and the ease of mass advertising and marketing that it bringing it to success. Back then, things were more reserved and marketing isnt as large and elaborate as it is now. And...yea...it goes on to talk about K-pop being very strong in Singapore with so many artistes coming..Jpop being more distant from audiences here..and..there's this other section where it says even Jpop fans are converts..and also some jpop fans staying true and saying that K-pop is just a phase Last edited by freedreamer; 26th April 2012 at 04:27 AM.
