girl garam as literally serving psychopath behaviour, they had to intervene with psychologists and even then she wouln't regret anything  it wasn't just teenagers figthing

besides if that many people were agreeing with the stylists they could've come out and said something, which didn't happen

There were also many people who worked with Irene who spoke up to praise and defend her. So what's your point? 

 

She's human, she admitted her issues, apologized several times (both to the staff member and to the public twice) and went on hiatus for over a year with no solo activities. I'm not sure what more you can expect her to do, or how her anger issue is somehow worse than an actual bullying case with no apology to the victim and violence involved.

To think people were mad at how sm handled the irene case at the time, but they did awesome she could've ended like garam or soojin. They probably even gonna be able to reverse the lucas situation 

Yeah SM did quite good job by letting her apologize at first time, letting her co-workers defend her and put on a little hiatus.

With garam the hybe just did everything wrong possible the constant deny without receipts, the lawsuit threat and blaming netizens like they just asked to be DRAGGED hard

Nobody was mad. She gracefully apologized immediately and was in hiatus for like a year 

[Sugden]

school bullying in korea isnt just like a girl pulling you hair or something, its pretty intense people get killed because of it

several of her fans were though? they were complaing that they did nothing to defend her

[OrgVisual]

Funny how an IG like (where Irene's name is not even mentioned) is counted as an expose now. Truly the peak of social media culture

I agree SM handled it very professionally. HYBE management was a disaster from the beginning and it made everything so much worse for Garam

people be dissecting the 'levels of punishment' as if they understood the complete context  it was literally the most common offense given to students

'psychobath behavior' when we know jacksh-t. 

that's because because bullying is korea is a huge problem not because her cause wasn't serious

It’s just so weird seing her regressing like that, especially knowing how much she could slay, since she’s the best dancer of the group… 
 

 

I don’t think Winter joined SM with the intention of being in a girl crush group. So I don’t think she genuinely enjoys it as much.

i don't mind irene making a comeback, good for her. i'm annoyed by kpop stans constantly downplaying what she did but coming for 12 year olds  

 

 

[Sugden]

Not to mention garam was talking **** about her own group members so not even their stans didn't even had her back

Anyways why are we still discussing this the girl is jobless for a reason

and... what exactly did she do?

didn't she shade Wonyoung on the chalkboard? PRISON!

[Dialamba]

People wrote long essays explaining how bullying in Korea is so much intense but still pulling the card imagine cancelling a 12 years old for bullying !!! 

 

irene would have deserved to be cancelled if she had done multiply times but she screamed at the staff for not doing his job correctly  y’all are doing it on daily basis.

If winter was really serious she would never let the other shinning I fear

Both Irene and Garam shouldn’t be cancelled honestly, the problem is the hypocrisy of some Kpop fans and them picking and choosing when to be the “hero” and “defender”.
Like have the same energy for everyone else. It seems as if Kpop fans are canceling idols not because they care about the scandal but because they already have a dislike towards that idol beforehand, and use these scandals as an excuse to drag them and cancel them.

that doesn't mean every case of bullying is intense  lia was accused of school bullying and all she allegedly did was be mean and not give back $2 she borrowed

and y'all keep saying this is every country that's not korea is a paradise where bullying is not an issue...

So Irene was a diva/difficult to work with. Her extreme popularity went to her head. It's not great but it's not the worst crime in the world and she has to be given credit because she owned it immediately and apologized publicly multiple times. 

 

Like I said, I'm not sure how an attitude problem is worse than literal bullying/violence so serious that it required confirmed psychiatric intervention and even after all that, the bully still showed no remorse or desire to apologize.

SM better announce a SNSD photobook album wtf. They put the album up for pre order but with no details at all.

 

aren’t we getting different versions?

There are two versions. The standard and the special. It’s crazy that ITZY released 6 versions of Checkmate already and on 8/8, they’re releasing three versions of the special edition. Yet SM have SNSD just two versions for a full album

I don’t care about their actual sales, just the hypocrisy in seeing the same members saying Aespa sales are suspicious now celebrating a new group coming out of nowhere and selling more than other top 4th gen groups.

 

it’s about time for people to just admit they’re pressed Aespa is so successful and stop pretending it’s anything other than that.

Oh, so true. Aespa have over 770M digital Gaon points this year alone and they’re currently #1 and battling IVE for the top spot with only 1 comeback this year in early July

Girls rollout was a confusing mess.

I hope they NEVER do that again. 

 

The only part that was wasted was not having LTS ready to go after Coachella. Other than that, the rollout was amazing and it reflects in how they were able to get media hype in China and destroy pre-order records.

[mokitsu]

newjeans moving albums like that i was scared they were going to be more niche / an f(x) teas. hopefully they can snatch a hit with the title.

[Zack]

Anyway I hope all of you talking about Irene will be streaming her new reality show, where she will be taking her staff members on holiday and showing her close and happy work relationships with her staff!
