Real question is how the venues/stadiums they have booked could potentially respond. Considering this scandal is spreading out to major news outlets globally, if it does continue to gather steam, some may start thinking about whether to request that she doesn't perform or cancel entirely, to avoid reputational damage. It's in JYP's interest to control this story quickly.

 

Either way, it's not a good look and a scandal that could have been easily avoided with some international media training.

 

In general, Korean companies need to get better at preparing their idols and staff for international promotions, if they want to keep selling to foreign markets successfully.

 

IDK… It might cause a problem but like i said it’s just one member out of nine, not the whole group. or maybe i haven’t grasped the scale of the scandal nnn

 

And i specifically agree with you on the bolded part :clap3:

literally not ONE blink defended YG except Mel (who is more of a company stan rather than a blink) :deadbanana2:

making **** up just to drag BP/Blinks :deadbanana2:

When did I defend YG?

point out the post and don’t tell me what I am. I am most definitely a Blink

That acc needs serious help, weirdo putting BP into very serious topics like xalrics post, serious mental intervention is needed

what did I just read :deadbanana4: the last few pages :deadbanana4: chaeyoung scandal and all the fanwars :deadbanana2:

Like, y’all really sit around making up lies and narratives about me that just aren’t true and I’m getting sick of it

 

not once have I as long as I’ve been posting in this thread defended YG on anything, especially if he’s wrong

 

like, how am I not aware of all this YG defending I supposedly do

Anyways why do so many AI or animated kpop groups have such good vocalists and why arent the those vocalists debuting??

Like, don’t speak on me if you’re just gonna lie because that’s just weird.

Wait, why wasn’t I aware that they released a whole ass EP of remixes and still was only able to chart on the bubbling under chart

 

 

 

nmixx new release is definitely not a bad song it's quiet catchy and it gets good after few listens:coffee: but theres something missing about them because they're clearly the most well rounded 4th gen gg and yet individually,i feel like they would be bettet in other groups :deadbanana4: there's just no chemistry/ dynamics from what I've seen so far of them and it doesn't help that jinni who was I think one of the core members of nmixx get kicked out....

Okay, let's have this conversation now. TRIGGER WARNING

 

Let's remember Jeon Hyosung, the face of an anti-violence against women (all kinds of violence), and how she said she didn't feel safe going home late at night as a woman was scary, and how the text did you get home safely? became the norm in today's society, which shouldn't be.

This phrase PISSED many MEN, online and offline, and even celebrities. She was pushed to have a hiatus of self-reflection for it. The worst part of it, was a famous male actor (that was in her previous company) said something along the line, she is just pretty and she should sing but never talk when discussing this topic and many knetz agreed with him... And this was back in October 2021.

 

Now let's talk about Irene from Red Velvet, I hate this story. But let's not forget how SM created her whole image of "the perfect housewife" (comments that were posted about her) because she's shy and quiet (that's not the problem here) but literally put on her official profile how ironing, cleaning and cooking were her hobbies and that's it. So men started to flock on how she was the perfect housewife, one of the show me the money rappers who went in and out of jail even had a song about fantasizing about her. She received MANY MANY MANY misogynistic messages. Now fast forward a couple of years later Irene reading a feminist book, every male burning her posters and merch (literally).

 

 

So when people say things that a woman is hired to be just pretty. Put in your mind that when a woman talks she's often rejected or worse and receives backlash from the public but also her peers.

 

And if you agree that they are here to be just pretty but not try to help raise the points when they talk, then maybe you're part of the problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is very worry some is that despite being obsessed with pushing Kpop and also Koreans drama/movies worlwide. The big organization from the politicians, to the big broadcast stations and Kpop companies all refuse to change regarding the questions of  feminism and women protections… And the Korean Justice is a whole mess, and totally corrupted! 

 

The fact that saying that you are feminist it still taboo there Is so sad. Not to mention that the incels behavior seems to reach bigger reach everyday thanks to the new president…

 

I wished that Michelle Yeoh would have responded to sbs actions and show the world how disgusting SK are toward women… Maybe in some years we will see some changes…

@Adama this is the one. Didn't even need to dig for receipts because they did it again after being called out.:heart:

You said MULTIPLES blinks were defunding pedophilia. Yet your INCAPABLE to quote anyone (outside Mel who is someone that I called multiples times and gave exemples) 

You didn't say a word on Mel regarding to this specific topic and quoted a post from february. I named 2 blinks and brought up the multiple others(yourself included) who sat there and watched them do it and carried on like your own fellow Blinks weren't acting like clowns. As if a post from their fellow Blinks about how seriously gross they were being wouldn't have resonated more than from people they can't go 3 posts without attacking.

@Century CALLING LOVE SWEET AND THEN MAKE THE CONNECTION THAT ICE CREAM CAKE IS SWEET  AND MUST INSTED VE SOME CODED SX MESSAGE IS BEYONG WeIrrrDDDD . You seriously need to stop being delusional or go back to school bc why are you acting dense in purpose??? MHJ knew what she was doing. 

 

ICC chorus: 


Please give me that sweet taste, ice cream cake
With a flavor that fits this special day
The ice cream that’s on my mouth
Makes your heart pound and you'll come to me
It’s so tasty come and chase me
I can't hold it in
I scream, you scream
Gimme that, gimme that, ice cream
 

Pops, it's melting in my mouth, putting so much in
That it'll feel like my mouth is melting down
Baby boy, other guys don't know anything

People call romantic gestures sweet all the time. The song in its finished form plays around with that metaphor to an extreme degree. They could have kept the original, very sexual lyrics and just translated them(something SM frequently does with purchased english demos) and chose to have it rewritten keeping a few lines of the chorus the same instead.

« The point still stands is that after people called Mel out you doubled down on a non-existent issue ». The way it’s so fake I brought the ICC BEFORE Mel even entered this tread when I was talking about the sexualisation of idols and MHJ creepy behavior in SM. 

Correct, but it was after several others tagged them for a response. You chose to write fanfiction about what was going on in Min Heejin's head when she wrote a song that she didn't write and only oversaw visuals for. Unless pastel colors, deserts, and gas stations are also secretly sexual I don't know what she has to do with this in particular.

I’m sure ex TVXQ, Shinwha, H.O.T, Jessica, Krystal and others ex SM will totally disagree with your statement about SM but too bad most of them are BLACKLISTED by them. 

You literally exclusively named groups where members have stayed signed with SM even after decades except for Shinhwa who left 20 years ago. A lot of the Korean blacklisting is voluntary because bringing litigious liars who prey on stereotypes about the entertainment industry for victim points is literally a liability for an entertainment organization.

« Again trying to put others on the level of that in the name of fanwars is horrible behavior ». The way I never attempted to said that they were on the same level.. 

 

When people are talking about one thing, and your contribution is to say "BUT YERI SANG ICE CREAM CAKE", that's trying to equate them on some level. 

 

18 minutes ago, Adama said:

but EXCUSE ME to not agreeing when you are trying to minimize LSM and Sm actions and act like they’re not also part of the biggest problem in the Kpop industry. This man is not GOOD and is very problematic, it’s way more than just INVIDING TAXES! 

I'm not minimizing and am still open to being told what the specific problems are.

EXCUSE ME @Century to reacting  when everyone is discussing about the sexualisation of Kpop and the danger of debuting minors YOU put a whole ESSAY about how targeting the BP members. 

When YG came up for its regularly illegal actions and Blinks were being called out while others say by and posted about me, somebody asked me why I don't like Blinks so I explained in detail. It's not like I logged on specifically to post that out of nowhere, and I didn't see a single non-Blink disagree with everything I said  there either.

Mind you Century literally slutshamed Jennie last year over your usual ktrl fanwars (sadly i didnt take the ss when i should have)and was called out by many users that day, but they wanna attack all blinks. Ever since that day i have them literally on Ignore. Also they constantly attack the pinks unprovoked, please look in the mirror honey before you wanna act all holier than thou and don't bother quoting me because your weirdo ass is on Ignore and will remain that way. 

Mind you Morsmordre is referring to an over year old post where I said in that same post that the relationships were fake and media play, so how I could **** shame somebody for something I admit didn't happen is still beyond me. Let alone the fact that I was shaming their management for using relationships as a media play tool knowing full well  the damage it does to an idol's image. I remember it because I was harassed all over this forum, and even on other websites over it because Blinks are that pressed everytime I open my mouth. This freak remembers it because they're obsessed with me.

Nobody needs to make anything up when I just had to attempt to respond to somebody who speaks in incomplete sentences, 6 different fonts, and is only capable of parroting things they've been accused of.

Not after you tried and failed to make a discussion about kpop pedo businessmen into one about Wendy to deflect. Maybe engage with the serious topics while they're still being discussed and not hours after the fact before calling other people out.
