Silver Lining


a few days ago, a korean girl group was involved in a fatal car accident. everyone in the car was injured and one of the girls died on her way to the hospital. 2 of the girls suffered serious injuries that required surgeries and one of the girls is still in a coma.

i have never heard of this group before, but this must be me getting old, b/c i feel a certain way when people younger than me die. it just feels wrong, you know?

but this case is another example of people doing good, even in a small way.

so the fact of the matter is that this group is not popular. the main reason is that for the past 4 years or so, approximately 50 girl groups have debuted every year. that's the text book definition of an over-saturated market. but these girls had some fans.

and as a way of sending off the member who died, the fans started a movement to make one of their songs #1 on all of the on-line charts. this is the song, called, "i'm fine, thank you":


the movement caught the attention of the general public and with their help, the fans succeeded in making the song #1 on all on-line charts. it's my hope that this movement will become strong enough in the next few days to make this song #1 on a countdown show.
