Sports Seoul conducted ‘K-Pop Power People’ survey for their 32th anniversary from June 8th to June 15th. The survey respondents are from 32 different entertainment agencies, with 1 representative, either CEO or staff members whose positions are higher than Director, from each agency, making it 32 respondents in total. Respondents were asked to choose the 1st~3rd place for each category and points were given for each place, 1st place received 3 points, 2nd place received 2 points and 1 point for 3rd place. The total points for each category is 192 points, each group can get up to 96 points at maximum.

#1. The ‘Power People’ who move the music industry are?

① SM Producer Lee Sooman (42 points) ② YG Producer Yang Hyunsuk (30 points) ③ BTS (26 points) ④ JYP Producer Park Jinyoung (25 points) ⑤ G-Dragon (23 points)

#2. The best K-Pop producer is?

① Bighit Entertainment CEO Bang Shihyuk (48 points) ② JYP Producer Park Jinyoung (45 points) ③ SM Producer Lee Sooman (29 points) ④ G-Dragon, Teddy (9 points)

Bighit’s CEO Bang Shihyuk received recognition for having created BTS, the worldwide K-Pop sensation. As the CEO of a mid-tier agency with little capital and brand power, CEO Bang raised the ‘dirt spoon idols’ into Korea’s top group, shaking the industry which is full of strong idol groups from big companies, and therefore was chosen by many mid-tier companies’ producers as their role model.

#3. The best K-pop boy group is?

① BTS (85 points) ② EXO (60 points) ③ Big Bang (18 points) ④ Seventeen (15 points) ⑤ WANNA ONE (4 points)

BTS’ ‘Top Social Artist’ award at 2017 Billboard Music Awards last May has become a symbolic event that proves their powerful fandom not only in Korea but also all over the world and a remarkable expandability. At the moment, there is no disagreement in the music industry that BTS is the best K-Pop boy group.

.what an incredible night 

alexis came to visit me from cali on the third and yesterday i took her on my own little nyc tour. parked in the bronx and took the train into the city and got ramen, which is always good but the whole day i was worried that she’d be bored. we were having fun but it wasnt like woahh fun like it felt a little forced bc we both just wanted to have a good time with each other but we havent seen each other in so long and she doesnt typically like to talk about real personal things in depth so catching up felt a little weird but the day ended so great. after ramen we went to time square then we got the fuckkkkkkkk out of that tourist trap. went to washington square park to smoke some weed and try to find some drugs. i ended up just yelling at passerbys asking if anyone had molly lol no score. the day just felt slow and long and we had so much time to kill until the club that we got so tired. but we finally started making our way to queens to go to the basement and right before we went in, she brought up patricia. And she told me that I did nothing wrong and that it was just patricia being patricia, which did make me feel better because i had thought they just moved on without me. but i got to talk to her about how i still think about that beautiful non-binary bitch every single day and it felt so good to finally talk to someone who knows patricia and has more information than i do. I have been waiting for that for a damn year now. 

anyway, that conversation got the ball rolling. we went into the club and it was fucking awesome. it was the biggest club i had EVER been to like mother fucker was like both floors of PHD midtown combined but everything was cement and only lit up with red lights. we started exploring and found these little holes in the wall and alley ways and referred to them as the caves all night. our caves acted as a home base and was very very lovely to have. we got there around 11 and stayed and danced until like 2:30. we agreed to leave around 3 so i wouldnt be too tired on the drive home, but then we found drugs!! well, alexis did. we split a pressed pill and with nothing in our stomachs it hit within five minutes of taking it. we ended up becoming friends with the guy who gave us the ecstasy and the friends he brought, which was fun. the girl that was with them was so much fun and had such a nice ass wow i got to grab it it was a lot of fun. we were dancing then one of the guys gave us some coke and idk what happened but immediately threw off my roll. I felt so sick but i was just toughing it out for like an hour bc alexis was having a great time so i wanted to keep that going for her. they guys rolled a joint and we smoked that and some cigarettes in the cave throughout the night. sooooo thankful for that joint and we only smoked half and he gave me the rest of the j. bless. 

anyway i started puking so much lol running to garbage cans all the time and just puking up water (its two days later and im still SO dehydrated its not even funny) and eventually just foam when nothing was left. but i felt soo much better after i started puking. i think all the cigarette smoke made it so much worse and i had smoked two that day and i havent smoked more than one in a longg time so my stomach already wasnt having it. but i did start feeling better and started to feel the e again and then i had one of the best nights of my lifeeeee. danced with so many people including this guy who was wearing this blue jumpsuit and white cap that i had been watching all night because i love the weird ass way he dances. alexis told him i loved his dancing and he gave me private shows the rest of the night!! when i didnt have him, i was dancing with these guys who are either very gay or very european but either way we just stood in a circle doing weird ass arm movements to each other right in front of the dj booth and i was LIVING for it. got really sucked into watching the djs do their shit. so fucking fascinating. makes me miss patricia but was so fucking amazing because they do live mixing and its fucking incredible to watch them just go at it. the headline was this guy from tokyo and he fucking SLAPPPPPSSSSSSSSSSSS literally slaps the control board and turned me on and i hate how much i love it. made another friend bonding over the dj who also let me smoke his joint!!! 

oh but before i forget, hands down the best part of the night was when i was rolling p hard and i stood exactly where two of the moving lights would meet up and they connected right on my feet and just made me feel so right, like i was connected to the fucking club and i was supposed to be there. i just danced my little heart out in that spot for as long as i could. i remember saying shit along to the beat and getting so into it like “yes. this is. my song. this is. my club. i run. this city. i love. my light. this is. so cool. i love. his pants. oh shit. the drop...” etc you get it some rly stupid shit about legit whatever came to my lil drugged mind but every time that light hit me i lit upppppppppppppppppppppppp oh so great. 

we finally left when they kicked us out around 6:10am. it was their 17th anniversary so they put on a good fucking show. the music was so incredible and i cant waittttttttttt to go back. so happy alexis came.
