We will meet again

Almost a month has passed since UKISS came back with Stop Girl promotion. As they're wrapping up it soon to continue with activities overseas, it's time for us to wrap up this Stop Girl comeback project and move on to preparation for the coming ones. But somehow we just want the promotion to continue as long as possible. It's just a month (or 3 months since we went official) but we feel like we've been together for too long it's not even legit not to be with you anymore. Even it's just temporary, we still feel a little bit empty inside.

Before we say goodbye, we want to send our thanks to:

• Our donors, who have supported this project financially generously. We couldn't have done much without your donation.
• Our supporting team, who have helped out since day one. If you were not here, we doubt we could be ready for the comeback.
• Joyce Lim and Korean KissMes who helped with streaming accounts and purchasing songs. 
• KM Streamers members and their friends who helped with translating Korean.
• Our Melon & MNet streaming teams, who have been not only streaming hard but also tolerating our rushed thus messy arrangement and even our attitude. You are allowed to can complain now, go on girls you deserve it better :))
• PINK-Kisses group, to back us up and to be our inspiration to initiate KM Streamers.
• Indonesian fanbase and Arab fanbase, that helped translate streaming tutorials to make it easier for Indonesian KissMes and Arab KissMes to stream.
• Chinese fanbase in mainland China, though couldn't stream due to Facebook restriction in China, still helped to provide Facebook accounts to KissMes to stream.
• Fanbases and fansites, and KisssMes that helped with Stop Girl give-away
• All KissMes who have streamed and streamed and worked hard for UKISS. 
• And UKISS, for this wonderful KissMe fanily (errm, what is the word for family and fandom, guys?) that we're so proud to be part of.
• (Did we, uhmm, forget anyone?) 

We're so sorry that we didn't succeed in keeping UKISS in Top10 this time. But we will work harder and harder to show you your support and effort will be worth it.
It's time to go, but we will meet again. We definitely will.
FIGHTING~

P.S. KissMes, please continue streaming on Bugs until the end of promotions, and, voting for MAMA award will be opened in 9 days, be ready :)

Receipt from us

Receipt from Maria




Thanks to the generous financial support from donors, many KissMes were able to enjoy Stop Girl, and help out with increasing digital sales. The joy to gift and receive Stop Girl knowing that we were doing something for UKISS was incredible.

To our donors: Thank you all so very much :)

Please DOWNLOAD Stop Girl BEFORE MCountdown

KissMes, we've gifted Stop Girl 2 days ago. You must receive it by now. Please go DOWNLOAD it BEFORE MCountdown (6pm KST Thursday). Do it NOW, we only have 20 hours left.

(You need to get to a computer to download songs. Smartphones are not smart enough for this) 

Giveaway (Oct 5th - Oct 11th) wrap-up

Approximately 200 Stop Girl title songs have been gifted to helping KissMes here and there. We are sorry that we made some maybe many of you wait. We had quite a problem with Paypal and we have no idea why we always have problem with Paypal, we may need to invent PayKissMes to serve the KissMe fandom o_O
And really thank you, KissMes who had been waiting for the songs to come, wae you're so cute XD

Anyway, we will wrap up giveaway now. We tried to contact some Facebook account owners but didn't succeed. We're sorry to say this but we will not gift Stop Girl anymore. If you are one of those Facebook account owners and you still want the song, please send us an email and we will send you a legally downloaded song from Soribada as a small gift to your intention to help out.

And we want to ask all KissMes who have received Stop Girl on Facebook, please DOWNLOAD it quickly so that it can be counted for MCountdown at 6pm KST Thursday Oct 11th.
Internet Explorer and Chrome don't work well with Soribada. If you use them do download the song, it may not be counted.
So, yeah, please help us to make sure all songs will be counted by using any other browser (Firefox, Opera, Safari, whatever you have but not IE and Chrome) to download Stop Girl.

And please CHECK your Facebook account again before MCountdown to see if there is any problem with downloading and counting (we will send you message on Facebook if there is).

Thank you.
♥

Giveaway starts at 12.30pm KST (afternoon) Monday October 8th

Our dear Stop Girl receivers,
we will start gifting Stop Girl at 12.30pm (afternoon) KST Monday Oct 8th.
Please DOWNLOAD Stop Girl quickly and download it TWICE when Soribada posts on your Facebook. 
(We recommend that you use Firefox or Opera to download the song successfully)

How to download Stop Girl

• When you click on the post you will be directed to UKISS Music Store. 
• Scroll down and click on "Soribada Tab" at the bottom of the page. 
• Then allow Soribada to access to your profile. After that, you will be directed to Soribada App on Facebook.
• There you will see the song and download it ^^

NOTE
Please keep checking your Facebook until you receive message from us that you have downloaded Stop Girl successfully.

(Even though you will have downloaded it but as long as Soribada hasn't counted your download, the song won't be counted, we don't want this to happen, right, KissMes?)

Mass Stop Girl give-away

Hello dear KissMes,
as you may know, we're going to do another Stop Girl title song give-away during the third comeback week (Oct 5th - Oct 11th) in an attempt to keep UKISS in Top10 on MCountdown.
Approximately 250 songs will be gifted. Please come and help download the songs so that they will be counted and can contribute to UKISS digital sales.

And to speed up give-away process (so that all songs will be counted for next MCountdown and Music Bank), we kindly ask for your cooperation, that you FOLLOW the INSTRUCTION below when you send song requests to us.


TO SEND REQUEST:
Add http://www.facebook.com/opal.kissme on Facebook. (Opal KissMe)
If Opal KissMe reaches 70 friends, add http://www.facebook.com/keikoku.baka?ref=tn_tnmn (Kei KM Streamers)
If Kei KM Streamers reaches 70 friends, add http://www.facebook.com/opal.ukiss (Opal Ukiss)

 WHEN YOU ADD OUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS, SEND MESSAGE TO US (on Facebook), CLEARLY STATE
1) that you want to receive a song
2) your confirmation that your Facebook account has never been used to buy/download/receive Stop Girl before (if you miss this part, we'll NOT contact you no matter what)

 Again, no limit, you're welcome to receive as many songs as you'd like (1 Facebook account = 1 song)

To receive Stop Girl and make it counted:
 1) Download the songs quickly after you’ve receive them. You have to download the songs, otherwise they won't count. (We recommend that you use Firefox or Opera to download the song)
2) To make sure Soribada counts the songs, download it TWICE.


Note:
We don't gift the whole album, please don't ask us to gift you any songs other than Stop Girl.
We will contact you TWICE in 3 days if there's any matter, if we don't get any reply from you, we'll pass.

KissMes we need 150 MORE "unused" Facebook accounts to receive Stop Girl

Come on KissMes, if nobody receives and download Stop Girl, it won't count.
Come HERE and request Stop Girl.
Steal Borrow Facebook accounts from your family, your relatives, your friends, even strangers. It's 150 songs to go, KissMes! Our fandom is small but not that small ok? We have to exceed that number.

We are all broken at heart.

#41 on Music Bank this week.
.
.
.
.
#41.
Next week, what will the number be? Are you scared of thinking about it?
We are.

KissMes, we are scared that many of you may give up now. We have been working so hard this comeback. We have done much better than during Doradora promotion. But the result was much much more disappointed.
We know how hard you've been streaming, voting, doing anything you can do for UKISS. You're worn out. We know. You're broken. We know. But please, two more weeks, then we can all cry out of exhaustion. Just a little bit more.

As you may already know, this comeback, UKISS hasn't appeared much on Korean TV shows. Broadcast time (frequency of appearances on TV and radio) accounts for 20% of the points UKISS gets in Music Bank. Just how many digital sales do we need to make up for that ridiculous 20%? 5000? 10000? 20000? A lot.  And that's the reason why we're so low on the chart.

See, KissMes, if we stop now, UKISS will even fall OFF the chart, no, we can't afford that. We just can't.
So please, turn sadness into strength, stream, receive songs from us, just two more weeks. Two more!!!
At this rate, we don't do this because we want to prove to Korean what they miss out. We do this because we love the boys. SO MUCH.

A tip to overcome Facebook's phone verification

From  xaznxdreamerx on youtube
"For all kissmes who would like to create more facebook accounts for streaming, but can't due to phone number verification, click on "CREATE A PAGE FOR A CELEBRITY, BAND OR BUSINESS" at the bottom of the "sign up" button and make a fb using that. It WON'T ASK FOR PHONE NUMBER VERIFICATION so you should easily make one without any hassle. I already made 2 extra accounts using this."

Thank you for the tip,  xaznxdreamerx  !
KissMes, we got it, let's go!!!

Emergency! Facebook accounts needed!

KissMes~
many of our fellow KissMes are running out of Facebook accounts to stream. And because Facebook has required them to verify new created Facebook accounts with phone numbers, they can't create more accounts. Which means we are running short of streamers on Bugs. That's why Stop Girl falls badly there.

So, we kindly ask that if you can freely create new Facebook accounts, please create many and share on our list so other KissMes can use them to stream. Share your "being used" Facebook accounts too, if they still have streaming time left.

Remember to lift login approval, and don't set security questions.
Account settings -> Security -> Login Approval -> uncheck the box -> Save settings
(It should be like this: "Approval is not required when logging in from an unrecognized device")

Let's do it, in the name of love, for UKISS.

FIGHTING~

[Report] Donation used for the first two weeks

Our apologies for this late report on donation.

We should have a proper report on donation but due to the work load, we hope our generous donors will excuse our delay. We will make a full report on detailed donation when the comeback ends.

First is the total donation that KM Streamers received for this comeback.
We have received $570.00 (after Paypal fees) and 10 songs on Soribada. We are offered another 10 songs on Soribada.

Second is how the donation has been used up until now.
_ $50.00 were to purchase streaming cards on Melon and Mnet. The streaming cards have been distributed to our lovely hardworking KissMes and they're doing well.
_ $70.00 were sent to Joyce Lim in Korea to purchase songs on Korean sites. One hundred songs are on the way.
_ 10 songs on Soribada are being gifted.
_ $90.00 - $97.00 are being spent on Soribada to gift 70-75 title songs.

The rest of the donation will be used in next two weeks.
We are doing give-away on Soribada again, with 150 songs to be gifted next week (third comeback week).
Depending on how much more we can send to Korea to buy songs over there, we will adjust the number of gift songs.

Thank you for reading this, and for your supporting UKISS.
Please keep doing so and stream hard to keep UKISS in Top10 this week.
Together we can do it.
FIGHTING~

Thank you KissMes, we have received enough requirement for gifting Stop Girl

Thank you so much for acting quickly :) We have received enough requirements and will start gifting songs now ^^

Let's demand fairness for UKISS

Until now there has been no explanation from MNet for UKiss’ REAL ranking on MCD. According to the MCD Charts (HERE), UKiss should be ranked 4th instead of 16th. 

We encourage you to submit an inquiry to MNet (HERE), politely ask them to explain the matter. 

Please use all your MNet accounts (that you use to vote) to submit inquiry. MNet needs to make an official apology to UKISS. 12 places are no joke. KissMes, let's do it!

KissMes, we have some Facebook accounts for you to stream :)

Those who have problems creating Facebook accounts to stream on Bugs, feel free to go to THIS LIST and kidnap one/some Facebook accounts and continue streaming.

We don’t let such matter prevent us streaming for UKISS, do we?

Stop Girl give-away (GUISE come on in we need to increase digital sales for UKISS)

GUISE, UKISS could make it to #4 at MCountdown, now we need to keep them stay there (or even better, make them go up the chart).
Thanks to generous support of our project's donors, 70usd have been sent over to Korea to purchase songs on Korean music sites.
And now we're going to gift 70 Stop Girl digital songs (TITLE SONG only) on Facebook Soribada to help increase digital sales in this second week (Sep27th-Oct4th).

If you would like to receive Stop Girl digital songs, send an email to km-streamers-admin@googlegroups.com, or submit at km-streamers.tumblr.com, or comment here, or tweet @KM_Streamers
Please state clearly:
1) your Facebook name/url (we will add you as friends on Facebook to gift songs. And remember to enable message so we can send message to you)
2) how many songs do you want to receive (no limit, as long as you have enough Facebook accounts to receive songs - one Facebook account can receive one song)

KissMes, and non-KissMes, come here and receive songs. If you don't the songs won't count, come here, come!!!

* To our lovely donors, the rest of donation will be used in the third and forth weeks of Stop Girl promotions. We are deeply sorry for our late report on the fund.

Voting issue

KissMes if you're streaming on Bugs, remember to VOTE on SHOW CHAMPION. 
Voting on Bugs Show Champion counts for 15% of Show Champion score. 
Currently UKISS is #2 on voting chart.

Visit fyuk's tutorial to learn how to vote.
http://fuckyeahukiss.tumblr.com/post/22259257815/how-to-vote-for-mbc-show-champion-facebook-required (Credit: the tutorial belongs to FYUK. )
------------

And while we're on voting issue, we want to emphasize again that voting on MNet counts for ONLY 5% of MCountdown score, which means almost nothing in terms of points. We CANNOT rank high on MCD just by winning voting. If you can spend much time and effort voting like crazy on Mnet, we suggest you use that amount of time and effort to stream instead. 

Because streaming is worth TEN TIMES as much as voting (on MCountdown). 
which means that if we all try to stream on Bugs each day, it will be our surest way of keeping UKiss in the top 10 as we enter the second week of promotions!! Learn how to stream here.


Let’s pull together and do our best for UKiss!! :)

Step by step tutorial to change IP on Safari browser for Mac users

KissMes who registered with us, please confirm your registration

KissMes, if you have registered for our streaming project (you have sent us your info), could you please confirm with us that you're active and will check your email/twitter/tumblr/facebook/whatever often, if you haven't done so?
We need to know you will actively stream before giving you Melon/Mnet accounts.
We tried to contact every single one of you but something was wrong with twitter/tumblr/facebook, we don't know. And we're snowed under now we don't think we can do that again, so please!
And because there're things that we will send via EMAIL only, don't forget to give us your email addresses also :)
Thank you

BUGS streamers and MELON streamers, attention please!

BUGS streamers: 
we know many of you are having trouble logging in Bugs with Facebook accounts.
If IPs from hidemyass.com don't work for you, check http://freeproxylists.net/ out.

MELON streamers:
1) some of you are facing this problem when installing Melon player.

so far, the best answer for this that we can find is http://able2know.org/topic/89761-1
it's long and full of technical terms but try it out.
To be honest, we don't know how to fix it ourselves, because we didn't have to go through any problems when installing Melon player.
That's why, what we suggest you to do now is, grab your friends, your relatives, even strangers and force ask them to fix it for you. We really wish we could be in front of your laptop to try out all the possible solutions but we can't :((

2) We kindly ask all Melon streamers to update us on how you're doing.
For those who haven't done so, we will wait until 11.59pm (23.59) KST Sunday Sep 24th for your confirmation that you're streaming. Otherwise we will have to give your account to others, to make sure all accounts will be used effectively.
Seriously, we've gone through so much to get those accounts for you, don't waste them. Just don't.

Don't forget our mass streaming at 11pm-6am KST on BUGS

Stream on BUGS [FREE with Facebook account]

Step-by-step tutorial to stream on bugs.co.kr, the easiest and cheapest way to help increase UKISS digital sales

You will need Facebook accounts to stream on Bugs for FREE.

Streaming is vital for ranking in Korean music shows.

1 stream = 1 digital songs (which costs 1.29usd on Soribada) = 1 point

The more you can stream, the greater help it will be for UKISS J

And, here we go

*click on images to enlarge*

-----

Step 1: Log in Facebook

Step 2: Change to a Korean IP address (please look at step-by-step changing IP tutorials for how to change IP address)

Step 3: Go to www.bugs.co.kr

Remember that when you change to a Korean IP address, internet connection may become slow. If so, choose another Korean IP and try again. 

Step 4: You will be directed to Bugs app on Facebook

If Facebook page disappears, click the blue button again

You'll see this

Step 5: you have logged in Bugs with the Facebook account. 

A small welcome window will appear, ignore/close it.

Type/paste 유키스 in the search bar

 Step 6: UKISS songs will be shown. Add songs to your playlist.

Your playlist should be like this: 

Stop Girl (title song)- Time to go - Remember - Sexy Baby - Stop Girl (English version) 

•  No matter how many times we play the title song in one hour, Bugs will count as ONE stream. So, you just need to stream the title song ONCE in an hour (approximately 4 minutes/hour).
• If the internet connection becomes slow because of IP change, stream Stop Girl ONCE/HOUR is good enough. Streaming other UKISS songs is not a priority in case of slow internet connection.

Step 7:  Log off BUGS when the playlist ends, log in again and create new playlist.

You don't have to wait for one hour since the last streaming. You can start streaming again when new hour comes. (e.g. finish streaming at 2.45pm -> can stream again at 3.05pm)

Note:

• Streaming the title song (e.g. Stop Girl in Stop Girl CD) is our priority. Other songs can wait.
• You don’t have to stream the title song 24/7 but try to stream it as many hours per day as possible.

·         With one Facebook account, Bugs gives you 1-day pass to stream

=> 1 Facebook account = 24 streaming hours.

After 24 hours since you activate your Facebook account on Bugs, you need another Facebook account to continue streaming.

•  We have a shared list of Facebook accounts which will be opened during UKISS comebacks. You can take any accounts available there to stream.
• Always remember to log off BUGS after streaming. It's important to make sure streaming will be counted.
• If you can, stream with two or more Facebook accounts on Bugs (using different browsers) to increase streaming points. But don't overwork. We do not gather and organize ourselves for nothing :)
• We're here to help. Don't hesitate to send us email (to kissme.streamers@gmail.com) or ask us (www.km-streamers.tumblr.com) if you need help with anything.

We have received message from some donors informing their promised donation will be transferred later than intention due to Paypal/personal matters, the report will be updated and completely finished when the remaining promised donation comes :)

We want to send grateful thanks to our donors for their enthusiastic support. 

The donation will be sent over to Korea, and with help from Korean KissMes, approximately 800 songs may be purchased. 

Thanks to our donors' generosity, the project has a good chance of success in keeping UKISS stay in Top10 despite the competition from other big groups who also have comebacks around time of UKISS comeback.

We also want to send special thanks to Ms. Maria Walmsley for her great support, both mentally and financially, even though she is NOT a KissMe.

It would be a shame if we keep the joy and inspiration for ourselves, so, yeah, KissMes, enjoy with us Maria's amazingness :) 

Warning: beware of the many feelings you may die of experience.

"...I'm not a KissMe. But I want to see UKISS be number 1...I know that one day UKISS will be number 1 and if it doesn't happen this time I will donate for the next and do on...Thank you for allowing me to help it means alot to me... 

...even though I am 19 hours away from them they are always in my heart... I'm doing this for them because these young men have sweated, bled, and have tried so hard and just to be able to do this project is showing my appreciation for their hard work...

...I feel like UKISS are like my children. Just so you know I have children that are older then some of the members of UKISS. I would wish someday to be able to just take UKISS out to eat and let them eat as much as they want. They must burn alot of calories just from all the practicing and performances that they do....

... UKISS has brought so much love and happiness into my life. I would love for the world to see and hear just how talented and hard working these 7 young men are. To see the love and dedication that they have for their fans. There isn't an idol group out there that can compare to these young men. I'm blessed to be a part of this project...

...I'm looking forward to UKISS' comeback. This is such a special comeback for me to be a part of just knowing that I was able to help in just this small way means the world to me..."

- Quoted from Maria's emails -

We end the report here, we ran out of words to express our gratitude and emotions, or the world needs to invent words for the things we are feeling. We will come back soon and update you on how the project is going. Now, if you excuse us, we need to go squeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing~~~

Donation for streaming/purchasing project

We kindly ask that donation for our streaming/purchasing project will be transferred to our Paypal account kissme.streamers@gmail.com between September 4th-6th.

Then based on the numbers of KissMes registering to stream, we will announce our final decision of how the money will be used to purchase streaming cards and digital songs.

Please note that purchase of digital songs will be made in the second and third weeks of comeback to help keep UKISS stay in Top10 of music shows. We will not go all out in the first week then watch them fall terribly thereafter.

We also humbly ask that you do not donate to our project if you haven't fully understood why we just dare to aim for that goal.

We wish to receive your sympathy and support.
KM Streamers Group.

4 days until registration closes

KissMes, we will close registration for our streaming project at 11.59pm on September 7th.
Please make sure to send your registration before closing time :)

KissMes, you know what it means, right?
FORGET about VOTING.
Stream, stream, and just STREAM!!!

KM Streamers members, we're having a good chance to succeed in keeping UKISS stay in Top10, thanks to great support from donors and Korean KissMes. Our donors have done their best. Korean KissMes have done their best. Now it's time for you to do you best.

How? Read and participate in THIS PLAN. It may be long, but not impossible to understand. 

Ok, the plan is good but you don't know how to stream? Tutorials HERE!

-----------------------------------------

And this is our last desperate attempt to increase our chance of success: WE'LL GIVE YOU 1-ON-1 TUTORING if, after trying the tutorials, you still don't know how to stream. 

The most complicated part of streaming is, maybe, changing IP. We've made easy step-by-step tutorials for changing IP on different browsers. You should have no problems then. But if you do, contact us and we'll arrange appointments for 1-on-1 tutoring.

Keep calm and do what you need to do!

There are news and rumors about groups with big fanbases having comebacks at the same time as UKISS. They've caused a fuss in the KissMe fandom and some KissMes are ranting about "bad-timed" comeback.

Though we believe KM Streamers members won't be affected by the fuss, we want to remind you all that this will NOT in any ways affect our plan and goal to keep UKISS stay in TOP10 until the 4th week.

There are 10 spots in TOP10 and if we organize well and work hard enough we can keep one for UKISS no matter how many groups will have their comebacks.

So yeah, be positive and keep the spirit and stream hard for UKISS, ok?

ATTENTION PLEASE!

KM Streamers' members, your registration to join KM Streamers' action plan for UKISS comeback should be sent to KM Streamers group ONLY (email to km-streamers-admin@googlegroups.com or submit at km-streamers.tumblr.com)

There are other KissMe groups referring to KM Streamers' plan, but they are independent groups and have NO relation with KM Streamers.

Please pay attention and send your information to KM Streamers if you decide to join KM Streamers.
Thank you m(_o_)m

--------------------------------------------------
To other groups that refer to our plan:
we're happy if our plan can be of help to you to organize KissMes to help UKISS. Seeing UKISS win is what all of us KissMes want to see.
But please make clear that you are different groups to avoid the confusion.

Thank you very much.

Fund to purchase music cards and bulk digital songs

We are raising fund to buy music cards and to purchase bulk digital songs, in order to contribute to the points UKISS gets for digital sales, which is the most important factor of music shows' ranking.

If you can afford to donate one or few more bucks to this streaming/purchasing project, let us know (send email to km-streamers-admin@googlegroups.com) NO LATER THAN September 4th so we can calculate and see how many cards and songs we can purchase. 

Our Paypal account's details will be revealed on September 4th. Transfer of money is from September 4th to September 6th.

Plan B for the fund
In the worse case, if Soribada still doesn't fix the problem with credit cards, and we reach the limits to create accounts and buy cards, the money will be used for bulk purchasing in the 2nd and 3rd week.
KM Streamers Admin bears the responsibility to inform donors if there are any changes in plan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Please let us know (send email to km-streamers-admin@googlegroups.com) preferably NO LATER THAN September 4th

• If you have credit/debit cards to help purchase music cards (due to Korean security system, one credit/debit card cannot be used to purchase many music cards)
• If you have Korean Mnet accounts (preferably the ones had been created before Mnet introduced its new system and required IDs). We are not sure if international fans can buy cards and stream with "new" Korean Mnet accounts which are created with their own national IDs.

Thank you for reading m(_o_)m

Who ever felt so hurt to see UKISS was so close to No.1 but couldn't touch it, please read this post till the end.

Let's go back to Doradora comeback to start this post.
Do you remember how we KissMes were like, in the first week? In the second? In the third?
Do you remember how YOU were like, in the first week? In the second? In the third?
And KissMes who streamed Doradora, do you remember how you streamed, and how you felt about streaming since the 8th day of comeback?

We do. We do remember how high-spirited the whole fandom was before the comeback. Everybody was like "come on KissMes let's make them win", and like "it's been 4 years since their debut, it's time to make our boys proud" and stuff. In the first week we all were like "come on this week is our biggest chance, work your asses off, stream, vote, search like you would die if you don't", and we did sacrifice study, work, sleep and health, all for UKISS.
Then what happened after we couldn't win even Inkigayo? We flipped tables, called for harder work, encouraged each other we would make it in the 2nd week if we tried harder. 
What was the reality then? After the 11th day of comeback, Doradora had to strive to be in Bugs Top50. Yes, we didn't even need 2 weeks to fall off the chart. 
The second week, where were we on MCountdown? Where were we on Music Bank? Where were we on Inkigayo? Where was the spirit? 
As much as the amount of "let's make them win" posts reduced to half in the second week, and almost to zero in the third, so did KissMes' spirit in general.

Moving to a more personal aspect, now, when looking back at our personal experience during Doradora comeback, we, founders of KM Streamers, can confidently say that we did our best, very best to stream until the end. We could keep streaming for at least 6-8 hours till the middle of the third week before dropping, one could even make it 20/7 (her lappy needed to rest, too). But we also have to admit that there were times, not time, but TIMES when we asked ourselves whether to continue or not. Doradora fell a lot, we tried to urge others to keep streaming, but Doradora still kept falling and falling. Nobody seemed to talk about streaming anymore, we felt like we were the only ones to do this. We exhausted. We wanted to stop, or in other word, give up. Many had given up, why didn't we? When the biggest chance to win passed, and the hope for winning died just in the second week, why continue? Streaming, for what? Voting, for what? Searching, for what? What we had sacrificed for, for what? 
Luckily, when we were about to give up, we received encouragement from each other, so we could continue until the end.
But we believe not many KissMes received timely encouragement like we did. 

You know, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. 
There was a KissMe saying she wouldn't, or more accurate, couldn't continue after the last music show of the first week and UKISS still didn't win. She loved UKISS so much she couldn't bear the pain to see them not win, so she rather gave up on them. We were touched by her feelings. On the one hand, we were so angry at her giving up, why did her give up on the ones she loved? But on the other hand, we were sympathy with her broken self, she must suffer to an extreme extent to give up on the ones she loved so much. We were just sympathy with her at that time. But then, when we experienced the pain ourselves, we understood her decision. Not just exhausted, we were also deeply hurt to the extent that we were about to give up just like her. Yet fortunately enough, some of us were still quite new at time of Doradora comeback, so the new ones were cheerful and cheered on a lot. And so like that the spirit was kept alive and when we saw the others were streaming hard, we felt like we couldn't hold back because they didn't hold back either.

And we believe many of you who keep reading until now also felt the same pain, the same disappointment, the same thought of running away.
So now when you think back of the past comebacks, how you felt, what you did, we hope you will prepare yourselves well for the coming comeback in mid-September. 
Aiming for No.1 is an ambitious goal, but be realistic, and be calm to face the likely failure of that expectation as a strongest KissMe ever then keep streaming until the end.

For members of KM Streamers, we ask for your sympathy with the goal that we set for the coming comeback. Our ultimate goal is of course to help UKISS win No.1, but that's a long-term goal for us. We will keep streaming, and streaming harder until we achieve that goal. 
For now, the coming comeback, we just dare to aim to keep UKISS stay in Top10 of music shows until the 4th week.
Since the second week, digital sales, the most important factor for winning, will drop a lot, so please stream harder and harder. Let's make Soohuyn not have to write something like "sigh, drop a lot" this time. 
FIGHTING!
