She can do fanmeets, but she probably won't because she's touring, doing festivals and Chinese promotions are the priority. She'll probably have a show in Seoul
The blacklisting now is a bit iffy. JYJ is back to promoting on TV so maybe Jessica would have a chance now but who knows?
I'd love to see her on K broadcast, this last year has reintroduced me to Jessica's talent in variety and vocals
Me too! I really hope she can at least appear in a few smaller tv channels 
Can she hold a fanmeet in Korea? Is she totally blacklisted to appear on any korean tv-broadcaster?
OH was my ever first Kpop forum.... It's been a rollercoaster over there, but for the most part time it has been a good time. Gonna miss it 
I'm always nervous whenever a Kpop group, especially ones that are my favourite is involved in any western stuff. For the most time, all goes well. But I was looking at the comments in Rangers SNS, and yuck.... A lot of xenophobic comments.
Correct if I'm wrong, but I believe they are the first non-korean group to win a music show. Congratulations!
was there an announcement that there would be no more isac?
Nothing I heard so far. Only that they won't do Chuseok this year. I do hope they bring back ISAC, but in a newer and more safer format like for example more E-sport.
Why was it cancelled in first place
when was the last isac?
Last year
I hate to say this, but I miss ISAC, despite the safety issues we as fans have with the event. But it's fun and heartwarming seeing your favs cheering and performing extraordinary exercises
The legendary Cheng Xiao!
If it is, I hope we get a replacement in a smaller scale perhaps.
When or if will this happen? Or is buying cds so ingrained in japanese pop culture it will never disappear?
I notice the editing and direction style of this season Produce Japan is very similar to the korean version unlike the two previous ones where you can clearly see they are made by japanese tv studios. Also they add english subs and have free episodes each week on youtube. Maybe Lapone(company managing JO1 and INI)wants more global awareness this time with the girls?
A bit off-topic, but since you are very updated on what's going on in the Kpop world, please tag me if you post new horror variety of girl groups if you remember
I thought I was the only one that waited all year for the various horror varieties. There aren't a lot, but I always enjoy any of the Halloween themed shows from idols.
Yeah true. There are more with boy groups but I'm not so into them. I really hope we get a variety horror with Itzy They haven't done something like that yet
which rookie groups will be scared this year lol
tripleS and NJ?? I saw the 1thek episode where the tripleS girls discussed what variety theme they would like to do and one mentioned horror.
Newjeans in one of the recent zip episodes seems to be foreshadowing horror variety when playing a scarey music of Hanni being afraid of the dark and she said she doesn't want to do horror lol 
...usually we are getting horror variety thanks to Halloween 
Here are some my favourite episodes:
I don't listen to boy groups, but the few I did check out in the past was Monsta X. They had some really cool songs in the past!
Subjectively, 4th or perhaps we are now in the beginning of 5th gen music hasn't vibe with me. I like many Kpop songs in this era, but I just like them because they have a catchy tune. But Invincible and the aesthetic behind it gave me the same exact feels when I watched WJSN ''Secret'' or LOONA's ''Butterfly'' back then years ago. I don't know to explain this correctly, but the feeling of escapism is the correct word
I'm on a new journey in my life, and I just realize now how much content from my favs I've been skipping lately. I'm falling so far behind that I feel from now on I'm just going to be selective in which variety stuff I'm going to watch from my groups. Just a year ago I could follow almost everything they release, but now I just don't have the time. Barely are visiting Kpop forums lately too. I have a day off from study, so that's why I'm writing this. Need some advice from ya good people. Is this the right way? I don't want to stop being a Kpop fan because I still love the music and culture.
