Back AGAIN?!?!

Minions! It has been FOREVER since we have been active on any of our pages. After the whirlwind that doing reaction videos became, we had to take a step back and figure out some life things first.

While we loved enjoying the amazing world of Kpop with all of you, as we have graduated college and begun our careers, it has taken a lot of our time away from the YouTube world. We made some awesome memories living in South Korea together for a while, and we hope you enjoyed our crazy adventures there as well!!

Going forward, we have both been working on different life paths. Mindy is in the beginning of her new career, and Katie is also working on another big change in her life as well. We are living in separate states in the US, so making content together just isn't feasible anymore.

HOWEVER, Katie is very much still interested in making content. It has always been her passion to create and edit videos for this channel, and she wants to continue to do so. She has posted a poll on the NDK YouTube channel (newly named NDK so it can be a little easier to find lol Vote HERE ), and it seems like the majority of votes (so far) are for daily life kind of vlogs. SO, in the next week or so you can look forward to seeing a new video from NDK!! Probably the first in YEARS!

Katie is probably going to be doing most of the posting and creating for the time being, though Mindy may decide she wants to join and create on her own at one point in the future. Who knows?! Our lives have always been a little bit crazy, so we can never really predict what will happen next.

Thank you to all the wonderful Minions that have supported and watched all of our craziness! Katie hopes that she can continue to entertain, even if we can't be exactly the same, perhaps we can grow and change together!

<3 Katie the VIP :D

Time to Rant

So, I posted a random rant video because I was just so upset about the BAP concert ticketing fiasco....still kinda upset even now, and even though I do actually have tickets. The point isn't really whether I could get tickets or not (in the end) but just how horribly everything was handled by the organizers. Here's the rant in case you haven't heard about this disastrous ticket release. 

Here's the thing, there were so many loyal Babyz that waited patiently and followed the guidelines laid out by the event organizers who got screwed over by those going to third party sites that were never mentioned EVER!!!!!!!!

It didn't help that the actual venue was telling everyone that they would not accept Powerhouse (the third party site) tickets, even though they actually would!!!! There was zero communication between Verizon and the venue, so I don't necessarily blame the venue--I still blame Verizon. I understand that they are not used to putting on Kpop concerts, but I also feel that their company has never been very reliable from the start.

I don't know how many of you out there were screwed over by this stupid situation, but I sincerely hope that B.A.P will come back again soon, and with different sponsors!!!

As for me, I will be attending the concert and vlogging as much as I possibly can (not sure if they will allow cameras into the venue or not yet, so I'll do my best but can't guarantee much). I will also do a concert review, just like we did for the BigBang concert.

I am slowly starting to get super excited to go and see my boys, but I have my reservations about how well organized it all will be.... fingers crossed!!!!



P.S. who likes rant videos? Because I could seriously rant about a lot of things that tick me off within the Kpop world....just wondering. :D

Long Time Minions!

Minions! Hello again! It has been a long time since I last posted, before we saw BigBang in concert actually. We've been so very busy last part of last year, and for most of January. We are so happy that we have been able to stay busy and to provide videos for your entertainment.


We are working on a lot of new projects, and even some contests!!! We want it to go well so we are trying to take our time. It's difficult to get things done as quickly as we want because of school and work that both Mindy and I have. We wish that this was our only vocation, because we really do love it!!!

If you have not heard about this drama yet, YOU MUST WATCH IT!!!

Flower Boy Next Door starring Park Shin Hye, and Yoon Si Yoon, is probably my favorite drama of all time! Yoon Si Yoon is absolutely adorable in it! He is just so complicated with how innocent and yet deep his character is. Park Shin Hye is just as amazing as she always is, making me believe that she is my favorite drama actress! 

I won't bore you all anymore with my stories. I miss hanging out with you guys on our live chats, so we will try to get something arranged really soon!! Hopefully we can hang out soon!!

Procrastinating...

Ok. I have two midterms tomorrow, and I simply cannot focus. So, I figured blogging would be a great idea!!

I will say the GD's new album (which I finally got in the mail yesterday) has been distracting me the most. Every time one of his songs start playing I find myself overcome with a desire to get up and dance like a crazy person!!! Especially to Light It Up, which I have an unnatural obsession with. GD!!!! Please let me study!!!!

In other news, I have a personal Twitter account!!!!!! After our live chat this past weekend, I decided I wanted to use the couple name that was given to me as a Twitter name.....so.... my twitter is @topandkatie and my name is TOkie!!!! hahahaha Yes I know I have reached a new low on the obsession front. But! TOP will never know about it, so I think I'm good!


In other, other news, we are finally able to afford to upgrade some of our equipment!!! REJOICE!!!! I'm not sure exactly when, but soon. We are so grateful to everyone who has chosen to like our craziness enough to continue to watch us. Honestly, we know we are really crazy, but we're glad it's a crazy that can be appreciated!!!!


22 DAYS UNTIL BIGBANG CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously guys, I'm freaking stoked!! We are in fact planning on vlogging the entire trip--from the moment we leave for the airport until we touched back home--even if it's boring at times. We want to make you guys a part of this amazing experience. BTW, this is officially the very first concert I have ever been to. I'm freaking excited!!!!! It would be cool if we could meet some of the Minions while we are there, but we will not be arranging a fan meet of any kind. It's mostly for safety reasons, not that we are afraid of you guys, but I know how crazy crowds of people can get and I don't want us to cause any trouble and get kicked out.......I would be ticked. So! Say hi if you see us, but don't make a big deal out of it!  okay!

I now leave you all with a picture of TOP....enjoy. :D

So Little Time!!!!

Oh Minions, I wish I had more time to spend on this site and on youtube!!! School is seriously taking up like all of my time!! I have a weakness for awesome kpop MVs, which then distracts me from homework, which then makes me have less time!! ahhh!!

Okay Minho, I will attempt it!!!

We have our first live chat scheduled for this Friday (Saturday in Korea). I hope it will be a fun experience for everyone, and hopefully everyone will not realize just how lame we really are...hahaha.

 Someone said they hope we don't crash the servers like Simon and Martina have. Yeah. 'Cus we totally have enough viewers to do that....haha, it's a funny thought, but HIGHLY doubtful. But, I never say never!!!
We intend to have fun, and you can join us to have some fun too!! haha. It should be pretty chill, kinda like a mini fan meet (only we don't have ANY talents to share) since we can't hold a real fan meet. If it goes well and you all like it, then we'll do it again and at different times of the day so more people can participate.

Oh!!! In just a few weeks I will be dying my hair to look like Jennie Kim in "That XX"!!! Not really sure how it will go, but this is my first step into going back to blonde!! I really hope it doesn't kill my hair...haha. But I'm excited for a change!!




Well my dear Minions, I think that is all for now. We are back on track for MV reactions, and we will hopefully be able to keep up with them!!

<3 you all!! :D

Amanda's Wedding

Well Minions, Amanda is finally married to Jim!!!! She looked absolutely GORGEOUS!! And Jim was quite dashing. They are so happy!!

I attempted to vlog at least part of the day, but being a bridesmaid is a lot more work than you think! Well, at least more than I originally thought. It was so much fun though, that in the end it didn't matter.

Yes Minions, we did in fact dance Gangnam Style!!! It was so much fun watching everyone get up and at least try to do the dance, even a lot of the Americans didn't really know what was going on. Jim's side of the family got right up and danced with us, singing along as well, it was so much fun!!!! And of course I danced like a crazy person! Haha but I didn't care because it was just so much fun!

It was a very long day!! Luckily I had friends from the NGKA (Next Generation Korean Americans) to keep me company in between the parts of the wedding I was needed for. Which also meant that I forgot to vlog very much....sorry. haha I was just having way too much fun enjoying everything! The atmosphere was great, and I'm pretty sure we all had a pretty good time.

Now Amanda is a married woman.... It feels so weird to say that!

Kpop Apartment!!!! :D

Well Minions, I have officially moved into my BRAND NEW APARTMENT!!!!

Yes TOP, I am serious. I have moved closer to school and work since driving to and from was seriously getting old. Yes that means I am no longer living with Mindy.

But! We will still see each other pretty much every day, and we will be doing reactions once a week. We want to go on more adventures for vlogging too! But back to my new apartment. While prepping to decorate my awesome new room, I simply could not think of any better decorations than KPOP!!! Behold the beginnings of my Kpop bedroom!!!

It's not very much right now, and I also REALLY want to get BigBang blankets for my bed, but I will continue to add to my awesome Kpop decorations and make the Kpop room EPIC!!! 

In other news, MNET is now following us on Youtube and Twitter! Weird, huh??! They re-tweeted our BigBang Blue Reaction saying that it was an awesome vid. Not really sure what to think about this.....I just hope we don't mess up too much in our videos for them to disown us...haha.

The only other news I can think of is about our G-Dragon Reaction vid, which has now gained approximately 21,000 views..... 

I'm not sure I want this particular video to go viral, since I was so sick during it!!! I simply COULD NOT wait a few days to get better before I could watch this MV. There was just no way I could last that long. It was hard enough waiting a couple hours! It's my personal opinion that the reason why we are getting so many hits on this reaction video is simply because people recognize us now. Lets hope the haters don't start commenting on this video....... 

Well Minions, I'm off to try to get some sleep and recover from this stupid cold, hopefully before school starts back on Monday. 

BTW! We just upgraded to a new computer (Mindy's new computer to be exact) and hopefully the quality of our videos will be much improved. However, that now means that Mindy will be doing most of the editing, and I will now be taking over the request list...yipee...

Luv ya Minions!!! :D
