NALINA Stuns and Scandalizes Netisims With First Comeback Stage Outfit
(tw: misogyny and sl*t-shaming)
March 5th, 2015

While her music video for her first comeback single "Love Myself" was very dazzling and glamorous, NALINA gave a more chic feel in her comeback stage. Donning a @serenity-cc black off the shoulder sweater & matching black boots, but the more contentious detail is her @aharris00britney jean mini skirt.
Many thought the skirt was an inappropriate length and lamented over a perceived "lost innocence" of the 2nd Gen Sims-Pop idol. Being the maknae of legendary group Ki-Ti, she was always seen as a cute, pure idol. Her solo debut enforced this vibe with a wistful sound, short bob, and doll-esque styling.

From people simply being at the concept change to people theorizing at some sort of dark transformation, there is no shortage of disappointment.
However, "Love Myself" is still doing very well, outperforming her debut's initial reception in sales and initial chart performance. The song even performed a PAK like her debut and like her group is famous for doing 9 times in a row. So far, it seems like online discourse has also been dominated by overwhelming support. The criticism, while apparent, is not the majority opinion.
Netisims believe that the change in concept is exciting and enjoy the sassy, quirk-filled elements of this comeback. If you recall, the concept of the music video also garnered mixed reactions. However, people are referring to the contentious elements as eccentric and iconic.
Here's what Netisims had to say exactly:
I knew she wouldn't let us down. This is Lee Nayoung we're talking about. [5129, 472]
Is it weird to say this feels like a classic? [5001, 450]
Nation's It Girl for ya! [4720, 403]
She feels even more deserving of the "Nation's It Girl" title now. [5034, 723]
Ki-Ti strikes again! I can't wait for Im Yebin's movie this year! [4037, 37]
The outfit is STUNNING. I've never thought of buying clothes because of an idol but maybe this time. [5536, 834]
That skirt is kind of iconic. The whole thing actually. [5938, 1100]
*sigh*... another good girl gone bad. [2384, 1340]
That skirt is a little too extreme. [2143, 1422]
This looks like something Myeong Gaeun or Im Yebin would wear for a solo. This doesn't fit our baby hamster at all! [1732, 1420]
Times are really changing for the worst. She used to be someone I'd want my daughters to look up to, now she's influencing kids to dress like that. (edit: why are you downvoting me?? one of the top comments are proving me right!) [1420, 1204]
All female idols have to do is dress like wh*res and they'll be successful. Shameful. [923, 1239]

FROST’s Visual, Mirae, Is Going Viral For Her Debut Stage Styling
January 24th, 2015
by Seth Choi
While the overall styling for FROST has been a point of contention among Netisims, some loving it and others not so much, Mirae has been universally praised. Many found the renaissance art printed on the dress to be stunning. The light blue accents matching the gloves also being gushed about online. "It compliments her delicate image while giving her a little extra charm" one forum user stated to thousands of likes and replies agreeing. Along with the dress and the gloves, the other two staples being pointed out in this look are her strappy, chunky heels and her "waterfall cut".
Also dubbed the "Mirae Cut", the hairstyle has been trending ever since their debut stage dropped. Multiple stylists have gone on record saying it’s among their most requested styles. Netisims constantly pointed out Mirae as the stand out member, stating that they couldn't take their eyes off her, but this look made it even less possible to look anywhere else.
This would be the second time FROST's visual trended, the first being her debut teasers, but the reaction to her styling shadowed any other news concerning the group by a long shot.

IT IS TIME! For the Siimpi awards to commence! Below are the links to each categories poll! Please don’t spam votes as it’s obvious and I will not hesitate to redo a poll if this occurs. You can vote 1 time every 3 days, so please don’t cheat. Also, please try to vote in every category even if you don’t have artists in them, it helps give diverse voting!
Onto the polls!!!!Â
Voting will go from now, 3/26/19 at 2:00 pm to 4/12/19 at 2:00pm
BEST FEMALE ARTIST
BEST MALE ARTIST
ROOKIE AWARD
SONG OF THE YEAR
ARTIST OF THE YEAR
BEST FEMALE GROUP
BEST MALE GROUP
BEST COUPLE
BEST FEMALE ACTORÂ
BEST MALE ACTOR
BEST FANDOM
BREAKOUT ARTIST
Sidenote: Voting is only half of the criteria to win. Just so this whole thing is fair and to prevent people from cheating, the top 5-3 options at the end of the voting time will be put in a random generator and the winner will be picked by randomization, so voting does count, but not 100%! That being said, please vote fairly and don’t spam votes as mentioned above.
So since this blog is based off of soompi and they do their award thing every year around this time I thought it would be a good idea to do Siimpi Awards because the community seems kinda dead right now! So if you’re interested I’ll be doing 10 award categories and then set up voting once i have enough people entered in each category!
The categories:
(i included some acting ones, they can be idol actors, even though not a lot of people seem to do kdramas & such... might take acting ones out if not enough participants in those categories)
Best Female Artist (female soloist or specific female group idol)
Best Male Artist (male soloist or specific male group idol)
Rookie Award (a group debuted within the past year starting from February 2018)
Song of the Year (any artist that had a song from february 2018 till now)
Artist of the Year (can be literally any artist, group, etc.)
Best Female Group (no explanation needed i hope)
Best Male Group (no explanation needed i hope)
Best Couple (wink wonk)
Best Male Actor (no explanation needed i hope)
Best Female Actor (no explanation needed i hope)
In order to enter a group or an idol into a category, message @messagesiimpi with the name of the group/artist and then what category! Artists can be in more then one category, this does not guarantee their win though!
