What's Happening? (Part 2)

Does anyone here know Naver?

Naver is a korean search portal which is one of the most popular search portal in South Korea. You guys must be wondering why do I suddenly ask you what Naver is, right?

This morning.. when I was waiting for EXO comeback teaser released, I tried to open my Naver account but I forgot what was my password. Then I just browsing around the Naver and I found out that there were some new applications. Because I was so curious, so I open the N (New) mark. Can you guess? one of the new application is Indonesian Dictionary. To be honest, at first I thought it was an Indian Dictionary because in Korean, India is Indo and Indonesia is Indonesia. It is almost the same. Anyway, Wow! I was so surprised that I decided to post about this on our blog. People might think that this is not a something big, but I think that is a sign that many foreigners are interested in knowing more about our language. Isn't that a positive thing?

*Have you read our previous What's Happening? I mean What's Happening Part 1 kkk~ that's the link! :)

What You Plant is What You Get

Bullying is an action that must be hated by most people and it is intolerable. In the previous post I mentioned about T-ara who bullied their former member. Now, I am going to talk about it.

This bullying case revealed in 2012, then later the CEO of their company announced that Hwayoung will leave T-ara. Thus, so many people suspected that the CEO wanted to scold Hwayoung out in order    to follow the other members' desire who might threaten the CEO that they will leave T-ara. As the result, the CEO sacrificed Hwayoung as the guilty one and said that Hwayoung expelled from the group because she got so many complaints from the staffs. Here is the CEO's statement at that time, "In deference to the complaintsby T-ara's staff of 19 people (5 stylists, 7 hair & makeup, 5 on-site managers, 2 team managers), Hwayoung's contract as an artist will be voided effective immediately with no conditions". Then the following statement, "Although the staff of Core Contents Media stayed up into early morning discussing with the T-ara members who all wanted to stay with Hwayoung, we apologize in saying that we could not forsake the arguments of the staff members".

People did not believe that excuse, then soon netizens found some evidences about that bullying case. These are some evidences that they have found:
1. Jiyeon was ignoring Hwayoung's high-five

She did the high five with all members except Hwayoung

2. Again, Jiyeon treated Hwayoung badly

In my opinion, Jiyeon was intentionally hitting Hwayoung

3. Eunjung blocked Hwayoung when Hwayoung wanted to sit

This happened during the Japanese TV show. They did not know that the camera has already turned on and recorded everything until one of the members realized then smiled to the camera.

4. Previously, I mentioned the excuse of the CEO why Hwayoung left the group. He said that Hwayoung got lots of complaints from the staffs. In fact, a magazine staff once tweeted that Hwayoung is a good girl.

"I was searching up what's going on with T-ara..Last month at a magazine photo shoot, we were working with an idol group. Before the shoot began, a member came and bowed 90 degrees to all the staff members. She left an impression on me so I asked who she was to the editor and she was T-ara's Hwayoung.. Sigh."

*I only provide some evidences not all of them :)

Because of this case, people started to hate T-ara and their popularity decreased dramatically. Up until this year, people still hate them that in this year's Dream Concert T-ara got Black Ocean. Yeah, What you plant is what you get. However, that black ocean thing was too cruel.

Black Ocean

Something that comes to your mind when I mention Black Ocean could be an ocean filled with black water. That might be true but not entirely true (kekeke~) here I'm gonna talk about another Black Ocean.

Black Ocean is a situation when a certain singer or a group of singers do not get support from the audiences. It usually because most of the audiences hate those singers. The audiences will soon turn their light sticks off, become so silent and even booing the singers as the singers start to sing. Thus, the concert venue becomes very dark and silent. Firstly I would like to tell you what light stick is. Light stick is a mandatory item when you attend a concert. Every fan club usually has a particular light color and they cheer their favorite group/singer with that light stick when they perform. Here is the item that I called as light stick:

Glow in the dark~

So.. you can imagine when the audiences turn their light sticks off, the concert venue must be very dark and it is a kind of humiliation for the singers who get the black ocean. As far as I know, there are some singers who once got a black ocean.

1. Girls' Generation

They got the black ocean when they performed in a big concert called "Dream Concert" 5 years ago. Back then, people hate them because they thought that Girls' Generation was a new big rival for a group that was really famous at that time. I found the youtube video about the black ocean that was got by Girls' Generation. Check this out:

I wonder what Girls' Generation felt seeing this dark concert venue :"(

2. T-Ara

Another group that got a black ocean from the audiences was T-Ara. They also got a black ocean in "Dream Concert". This accident happened during this year's Dream Concert which was held on May, 11th but the cause was different from Girls' Generation's. They got the black ocean because they once did a bullying to their former member and people still could not forget that case. Here is the picture:

People also booed T-ara :(

People might really hate them but one thing, they are human too and they do have feeling. This black ocean thing is too mean.

This is how the Concert Venue supposed to be. How beautiful it was when the concert venue filled with those beautiful light sticks

So Beautiful :")

That's it about this black ocean article. See you on the next post~

Does It Scripted?

X-Factor is one of the most favorite talent shows among the Indonesian people. It airs every friday night on one of the biggest Indonesian TV station RCTI and always gets lots of people attention every week. People anticipate every performance of the contestant because most of the performances are very good. Undeniable, the contestants of this talent show are gaining their popularity and they are very popular nowadays.

Two of the contestants that always become the hot issue are Fatin and Mikha. When you type "X-Factor Indonesia" on google images, you will find that most of the search results are Fatin and Mikha's picture. They sing very well and have lots of supporters. Fatin has a very unique voice type while Mikha has a 'naive' voice. Naive here refers to the kind of voice that can touch your heart easily and you can feel the sincerity when he sings. Also, Mikha has an attractive face that melt the girls. Fatin also once appeared on Bruno Mars' site because she sang his song titled Grenade amazingly.

Many people predicted that either Fatin or Mikha who will become the winner of this show but Mikha just got eliminated so I think Fatin who will. However, I think this talent show is not entirely 'pure'. There are some 'scripted scenes' because not so long ago a music producer tweeted something about making a song for Fatin and Mikha. Thus, I assumed that it is already on the script that Fatin who will be the winner but I could be wrong. Okay then let us wait until the finale episone which will be airing on May 24th and let us prove my statements.

Fatin appeared on Bruno Mars' site

BREAKING NEWS

Wow.. I just found out that Agnes Monica has been followed by Harry from One Direction. Even Harry followed Agnes first then Agnes followed him back but there's still no interaction between Harry and Agnes on twitter such as mentioning each other. Again, to be honest this kind of thing always makes me suspicious if there is something special between them, but this time I think it has not flown as far as what I've thought. Some people suspect that Harry will be collaborating with Agnes in Agnes' coming International Album, but I think it doesn't really make sense (sorry). Why I said so?  just because they are following each other doesn't mean they will be collaborating. There might be another reason why those two popular persons are following each other on twitter. However, I'm looking forward for their good relationship ;)

According to people on twitter (again, from twitter kekeke~) Agnes and Harry also have been following each other on instagram after they have known each other through a party in LA.

Also, many people especially girls seem jealous because of this matter (Oh well.. I understand that feeling :"D)

"What's Happening?"

Nowadays, twitter becomes the effective medium to sell products, share something, convey messages, or even inform something important because it is very simple and has lots of users.  Ten out of Fifteen people must have at least one twitter account. For these past few years, twitter has been becoming one of the most popular social media around the world especially in Indonesia. Even on March 27th, our President has made a twitter account as well in order to keep in touch with his people. Thus, people are expected to know their President better. Only a day after its making, President Yudhoyono had already got his "verified" for his twitter, followed by his son's twitter account which also got the "verified" sign. Things that are very unique from Mr. SBY's twitter account is that the display of his twitter which a bit similar to Mr. Barrack Obama's twitter and the tweets from President has a particular sign. For that reason, I wonder if there's certain rules for the presidents' twitter display and appearance or our President/his staffs (who responsible to take care of his twitter) just want to make it similar to Mr. Obama's. However, it is nice to see that our President also has a twitter account, so, we can easily to speak up our aspirations towards our President whenever we want. Of course in a polite words and with the right way.

Here are the Presidents' twitter accounts...

Mr. Yudhoyono's Account

Mr. Barrack Obama's Account

Is this post a bit heavy and boring? kkk~ to be very honest, I don't expect so :") I hope you like this post as well as you like the celebrities' gossips and scandals ;)

Ah wait.. in case you don't get any idea why I put "What's happening?" as the title.. it is because of this:

SEE YOU~

Do They Still Together?

In my opinion, Chris Brown and Rihanna are a sweet couple because they look good together. They've been in a relationship for more than five years. Although Chris once did a brutally beating to Rihanna, but somehow they still love each other, so  they decided to getting back together. However, there are so many public assumption these few days about them. People were suspecting that they've already broken up because Chris have been unfollowing Rihanna on twitter not so long ago. It was around April 28th, 2013. In addition, Chris spotted celebrating his birthday with his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran on a night club in Hollywood while Rihanna was on her Concert Tour in NYC. Thus, lots of people curious if Chris and Rihanna are still together.

SSST! I Will Tell You Some Secrets~

Generally, having a love relationship with someone is a privacy. However, I think it is just for general people, not for celebrities. People always want to know about this stuff. For most people, being curious and having a certain speculation about celebrities' love life are interesting. For example, when a male and female celebrities have the same things like watch, bracelet, ring, shoes, glasses and so on, people will certainly speculate that they are in a love relationship. Also, when two celebrities seem like no-mention-ing each other on twitter, people speculate that there is a special relationship between them.

Now... Let's see some celebrities that are speculated for having a secret love relationship! ;)

1. Minho from SHINee with Yuri from Girls' Generation

 There was a rumor that they were dating because they wore the same bracelet.

2. Super Junior's Yesung and T-Ara's Jiyeon

Again, the same thing that two celebrities wore caused people speculate that they were/are dating. Yesung and Jiyeon caught to wear the same bracelet, ring, and the same sun glasses. Moreover, on Yesung's birthday Jiyeon tweeted, "기분좋은시작~ 오늘하루도화이팅!" which means "A good start~ Fighting for today!" followed with a picture that she uploaded. It seemed that she that tweet was for someone and she gave an encouragement by saying "Fighting!".

3. SHINee's Onew and After School's Jung-Ah

They wore the same shoes and were in the same car. People suspected that they were going out.

4. Super Junior's Eunhyuk and IU (A Solo Singer)

They have the  same cute passport case and they were secretly staring each other

5. Changmin from TVXQ and Victoria from F(x)

The same luggage, phone strap, and were holding each other's hand.

6. 2PM's Nickhun and Girls' Generation's Tiffany
They have couple phone accessory (Micky and Minnie)






Also, Nickhun tweeted about "Pretty Little Liars" while in a fan-taken picture Tiffany was holding a "Pretty Little Liars" book.




















7. Super Junior's Donghae and Girls' Generation's Yoona's same scraft

8. Super Junior's Siwon and Agnes Monica
These two celebrities firstly met in 2009 on an event in South Korea. Although many people still doubting that they are going out, but I believe they are pretty close. Both Siwon and Agnes often having convo on twitter such as just mentioning each other and having a conversation through Direct Message on twitter. They also know each other's whatsapp number (Agnes once asked Siwon whether his whatsapp number is still the same)

There was time when they post almost the same tweet on the same day.

Then this was when Siwon uploaded a picture on twitter several days before Agnes' new music video was released.

9. Taylor Swift and Nick Jonas
I think this one was not just a rumor but they were truly in a love relationship





















*Whoop* this is a quite long post ha-ha-ha I feel so excited writing this secret love post. :")

Have a nice weekend and see you girls on the next post~
