We've broken 500!
500 what?
Well, whenever someone posts a comment in
koganbot, the comment is sent to my lj inbox. If I think the comment needs me to think about it further and/or a reply from me, I save it. Once I reply or think I'm more-or-less finished with it, I delete it. So, there are now 519 comments in my lj inbox that merit further consideration or a reply without having yet gotten the consideration or reply. (Actually, a few of the comments are in
snsd_ffa, now that I've readjusted my settings to get those, too.)
So, for instance, I still would like to think further about what
petronia and
askbask and
sub_divided and
arbitrary_greay said regarding the Minami controversy, especially as to what is or isn't happening in Korea, whether and how much and why some K-pop idols might be under a no-dating or a don't ask/don't tell regime.
And if you listed a set of tracks and LPs in the comment thread to my mid-year list, 2011, I still hope to listen to what you listed.
And I want to respond to what AG has said about journalism regarding K-pop and what AG and
greywing said during the discussion of white participation in K-pop.
And I've still got to go through that list of live Big Bang performances that
sub_divided thoughtfully provided. (Also, though it's not on lj,
askbask posted a very useful rundown of BoA's career over on ilX's K-pop 2013 thread that I hope will produce lots of future listening from me.)
Etc.

(Then again, anyone who really liked Kpop more than Jpop probably went to Kcon instead.) Maybe I'll fare better at this week's Sac-anime, where they have a late-night-EDM dance with DJs who have done Kpop remixes.

Date: 2013-09-02 03:44 am (UTC)No recognition. The dance on Saturday was devoid of any Kpop, as everything but two songs (one a remix of Power Rangers, the other an anime theme song remix) were original tracks. I don't know if the DJ lineup for Friday's dance were different or did any Kpop.
I did not appear to get any recognition for my cosplay. However, I spent pretty much all day in guests' panels, and did not visit the vendor's hall that had a Kpop goods booth. Mayhaps I could have gotten some fellow piston jumpers if I had. The opening act to the Masquerade was also a cosplay and dance cover of SNSD's Paparazzi, so I probably just didn't run into any CP fans, or the simplicity of my cosplay didn't register as Crayon Pop, and most people probably assumed it was some anime cosplay.
The Psy cosplayer, of course, got tons of recognition and was grabbing people into the Gentlemen dance all weekend.
