Based on previous comebacks, it will probably open either later on the 7th (Tuesday) or on the 8th (Wednesday). Please anticipate.
Adama Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 I'm the only one who find it so shocking that all these idols came back to bubble/others sns as if nothing had happened in their OWN country. They all disappeared following the mourning period (which is understandable) but as soon it was over, they're back doing their usual fan services without any words for the victims of itaewon.. It can’t be a cultural things right? So what’s the reason? Do they not care?

Idk I can’t see this happening in my country that’s why I asked if it is a cultural things?

The tragedy has become highly politicized in Korea, so it's probably why idols are steering clear of saying anything directly. Plus, there's a high risk netizens would accuse them of using this tragedy for publicity, which would create a really huge scandal.
BowWow Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 Love red joyvet but SM should have gave us a Aespa comeback to redeem them from We dem flops imagine Aespa with the 00s teen pop bubblegum inspired brand of hyperpop, would have had us gagged
Witnessed ET Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 Awww sweet now give her more lines as she deserves as a lead vocalist you idiots

It’s just a different culture where idols are discouraged to speak up to avoid any misconstruing of their words, especially because these tragedies are highly politicized in that country, whether it be the Sewol Ferry tragedy or the Itaewon one. They might be doing their parts behind the scenes or privately, but they won’t be saying much publicly.

Their music is played everywhere I go. A lot of ads on buses and trains. Teens in the park doing covers of Hype Boy and Attention. No wonder why they are at the top right now (plus good music of course). - IVE also has a huge presence here. Their music is quite popular I think. A lot of Won Young ads on the street. No group banner promo though. - SM artists are also everywhere. Huge banners for NCT. I didn’t see any banner for aespa, but their musics are played a lot (with Black Mamba being the most played). There are goods with SM artists at the convenience stores. I think it’s a good way to promote their artists. I only found Super Junior and NCT goods though. - YG and JYP artists are nowhere to be found But at least I heard Shut Down being played at some stores and some Jennie CK ads. I’ve been here 3 days and haven’t seen any ad or music from JYP artists (minus Dice being played at a restaurant ). This is likely the reason why JYP and some YG artists are not popular in South Korea I guess. I think the way the labels promoting their artists will help to increase their popularity in South Korea, which YG and JYP seem to completely fail to me this was such a great read thanks so much! Please keep us updated on what you observe! question- how strong is IU cultural dominance overall and especially in terms of songs and CFs etc? Also any 2nd gen It girls like Suzy or Yoona, what’s their presence like? is k-Rnb really the most popular genre?
Xalric Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 The fact that the same journalist that keep bringing IVE in a good light was the same one trashing Monsta X when they were negociating their contracts... I'm not mad that I.M left this agency.
BowWow Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 First fadpink referencing fadspa black mamba with their pink venom now Red Joyvet giving nations jeans with their album cover even the third gen girls agree it’s all about the 4th gen now

I've noticed they really avoid to be involved with their country's politics publicly. Iirc, they weren't even posting photos wearing/highlighting some colours to not being associated to any political party during elections.

To some the national period of mourning with everything fun shutdown was starting to feel like a new round of covid restrictions and people were like not this again. And a dead body is supposed to be in the ground/out of the crematory in at most 3 days, so why is this taking 7 days? And why are people celebrating Halloween? And what kind of people are going to Itewon to hang out with druggie foreigners? And those Itewon district officials that allowed the situation to become this dangerous, what's their party affiliation? We can't have that party in our district! Nevermind.
BowWow Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 I swear if SM gives red velvet another zimzalabim………

So Everything is really controlled in SK. The fact that they can’t even send a small condolence message…
