Last year I posted Lovelyz -- Twinkle for the holidays, so this year I'm going for LABOUM -- Winter Story.

Sadly, LABOUM disbanded earlier this year.

There has been so much girl group drama recently. Have you read about KG's departure from VCHA?

@jemmesedi Awww .. it's a winter fairytale of cuteness! Yay! Added to the playlist.

I didn't see that about VCHA yet .. but just reading now. Drama indeed. I hope it leads to some big changes in how groups are managed,

@pixelcats

I hope the exposure leads to changes too, but I'm not that optimistic. It may make it more difficult for Korean agencies to recruit westerners for future ventures.

I remember reading some awful stuff about Twice ; Momo trying to sate her hunger by eating ice cubes was an image that stuck in my mind.

I wonder, though, if some idols come to regard this treatment as a kind of initiation process or hazing, similar to the ordeals that army recruits or US college fraternity members undergo.

I should add that I don't think of it like that, and that in any case I disapprove of hazing.

Sorry about the sweaters, but I'm sure with your graphic talents you could create images of yourself in full luridly coloured Santa/Xmas Tree /Reindeer knitted glory!

@jemmesedi Have to agree .. these parts of kpop culture are awful and change will likely be slow. I don't think western pop culture is immune to the problems either.

I try to exercise my ugly Christmas aesthetic with t-shirts, but it's just not the same. I want a big jumper with santa on it!! 😂

LABOUM -- White Love

https://youtu.be/FTdOywrkw3o?si=ExVZKyxfpo6nufuC

Another seasonal track from LABOUM.

Forgive me if I'm being dim here, but why is the tag for 2025? Is it because of the Twelve Days of Christmas extending into January ?

Question for you and all those in the southern hemisphere: does it feel odd having much of the Xmas decoration and celebration organized around the season of winter? Sorry, by the way, if I've asked you this before!

@jemmesedi Yep .. I figured we could do seasonal songs all the way to 2025 and it separates the tags from other festive 2024 stuff we're doing.

The whole wintery Christmas decorations in the midst of summer is a little weird I guess, but we're used to the juxtaposition so it seems normal. I will always be salty about not being able to wear ugly Christmas sweaters tho!
