because i love my drama mama

[catskilt]

Aside from the massive fangirling over OH MY GODDDD THEY'RE ALMOST BACK I am so extremely amused at K-pop's way of handling 'comebacks'.

In JE, what we get as teasers are email notifications from CD Japan, tiny little single covers from the official site and then the song played on a radio show a couple of days before the official PV and performance on Music Station.

In K-pop. Or at least SME. OR Super Junior, because they're apparently too big to have actual MV/song teasers, we get members hinting about the new album three months in advance. Tons of rumours flying around about their new concept (zombies? vampires? pastry chefs?). Photos from a stylist that don't reveal too much. Fanclubs banding together to donate money for 'food and PR support'. Fan-made trailers. Suju trending on twitter about 298 times. Then a couple of official pictures released showing their va-va-voom new image. THEN a teaser that says NOTHING but throws shadows everywhere to the sound of epic movie-trailer-ish background music. Ending off with a deep voice saying "Super Junior. ComeBAAAAAAAAACK." (I'm going to be imitating this for months). A specific date and time set for the release of the new song: 10 May, 10am.

Oh, K-pop. It's like watching a summer blockbuster and afternoon soap opera all rolled into one.

That said. I AM STILL NOT OVER LIVE KILL'S ~*SHINY SUNGLASSES*~.

And I kind of like how it's just. Super Junior - The Fourth Album. LMAO. We don't need names for our albums, bitches. (Actually, there are names, only nobody ever notices because, you know. We don't need names bitches!!)

I should stop making fun of it. I love this fandom for all its drama, really ♥ I will love it even more if they'll stop blocking Hyukjae's face out.

...Also, I love how Donghae, Heechul and Teuk are tweeting back and forth. It reminds me of the JE Twitter fic that gothicauthor and I wrote except that the guys are different. ad;slkj keep tweeting away, lovelies :D

THEY'RE FUCKING TEASES, THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE >:(

[catskilt.livejournal.com]

THEY'RE PAST MASTER IN THE ART OF TEASING AND WE ARE THE VICTIMS DDD:

may 10? ^checks watch^ so far awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
I love getting to know this fandom through you. if I had more time i would be on it like white on rice. (or something else equally cliche)

[catskilt.livejournal.com]

Well, technically that's nothing compared to the three months of teasing they did before this XD all that talk about 4th album, 4th album, working out, 4th album asd;lkj

Awww. I'm glad I can keep you updated?

IT'S LIKE VIRAL MARKETING.

[catskilt.livejournal.com]

One thing's for sure, they know how to make people anticipate :|

[bad-robots.livejournal.com]

What the hell kind of teaser is this! :( The one for Sorry, Sorry at least gave you an idea what the song would sound like. This one is all about atmosphere which is...all sorts of cool but I've had enough teaser photos to know how they look like. I'd like to know how they sound like. Damn SME, if the point of this teaser was to frustrate and make me crave like a lunatic, then they're doing a really good job. DX

'Live Kills' made me snigger though, and ugh Hyukjae's wide-eyed 'Rape me' look in the teaser and his shirt riding up KGSFKGF;SFDG *brain melting*

[catskilt.livejournal.com]

Hey, the fashion for teasers giving you an idea of the song is over. Now it's all about giving you teaser videos that show nothing whatsoever of the song or music video! Can't you appreciate that!

LMAO. I can't get over his shirt and cyclops spectacles. But ;aldskj WHY DIDN'T THEY ZOOM IN ON HIM D: (I'm glad they got rid of the winged eyeliner)

SCHUPAH JUNIAH, COMEBACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

IT IS SO DRAMATIC.

i am in general not quite over the entire teaser. the more i watch it, the more i want their comeback stage to be here already. *flaps hands at you*

[catskilt.livejournal.com]

EVERYTHING ABOUT K-POP IS DRAMATIC. FROM THE TEASERS TO THE MUSIC VIDEOS TO THE ISSUES TO THE FANS.

One more week baby! AND I CAN WATCH IT ON TV! :DDDDD Apparently, I have Music Bank live on Fridays.

[ezyls-girl.livejournal.com]

...this wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't about to go out and see three million movies in the summer. "XD OH AND PROM. OH GOD PROM. D8

[catskilt.livejournal.com]

[ezyls-girl.livejournal.com]

I WANT YOUR COMMON SENSE. D8 But I suppose I will end up sacrificing everything for suju, anyway. Andborrowmoneyfromparents.

[catskilt.livejournal.com]

[ezyls-girl.livejournal.com]

[catskilt.livejournal.com]

[catskilt.livejournal.com]

~Mysteriousness~ :DDDD In a sense, I'm glad that they didn't give away too much. It's more bampf to have it all in one go :)

Teuk c/ping from an article totally made me lol. He is such a dork ♥
