All these talentless losers are stealing from black artists anyways so I wish nothing but the worst for all of them.

The way the kpop reddit sphere defended HYBE this whole scandal... I can't imagine being that dumb.

How many different groups has he been in total? I feel like he's definitely the idol that's been across the most different groups along with Sakura

A lot of those aren't real people. One of Tag PR's strongpoints is Reddit. You can't even post anything positive about NJ, Aespa, BP without it being deleted or downvoted to hell there. They act purposefully obtuse & purposefully ignore everything about BPD but fake morality and pearl clutching over their NJ conspiracies lol. It's so weird watching them criticize snark subs (the one they hate being the only subreddit where you can be honest about HYBE/BTS) while using the main subreddits as unofficial snark subs against NJ lol

I was clearly misunderstood yesterday when I incited all this discourse: PLEASE discuss to your hearts content what's going on with these companies. Call Hybe every name under the sun. It's good that you're discussing what's going on with NJ, intelligent dissections of what's going on is what we need here. My comment was more so directed at things like "**** Illit!" and all that. I don't think it's productive and creates an environment where fans of that group may feel uncomfortable posting here. I don't think it's that hard to not sink into the trenches of stan twitter discourse. Isn't that what most of us use this thread to escape from? I don't want anyone to think I'm defending that company because well no. Both sides could do better in framing their arguments. I was not saying shut up about Hybe and leave, just to focus your anger more at the corporate side of things rather than the girls themselves. And it wasn't directed at just one side, both are guilty of stirring the pot!

This line of defense, that the agency, the artist and the fans are separate entities, is getting blurred when the artist and the fans defend the agency. People have no choice but to identify Illit and glits with Hybe.

If you buy a fake bag and I point it out, but you deny it and claim it's real, you are a liar. If your friend comes to your defense and also claims it's real, they also become a liar.

K-glits are not happy with the constant comparisons. They have been criticizing Hybe too because they understand this negative feedback loop created by Hybe hurts Illit. Always trending for the wrong reasons everywhere, in korea and internationally is not good for Illit (and is not good for Kpop). No normal fan wants their favorite artist to be called a copy. It's better if they have their own brand. A normal agency should be doing everything to avoid any further negative comparisons and normal fans should be protesting until it's done. International glits, of course, don't understand that, don't care or think everything is a game.

This situation is kind of unprecedented because it's the 1st time a fandom defends the company's unethical actions to this degree, to the detriment of the artist they are supposedly a fan of. If you look at the big 3, fans criticize the agency all the time, tell them to do better, even organize boycotts. So do the artists. How many times have Taeyeon or 2ne1 thrown shade at SM and YG? Meanwhile, Hybe stans and the artists are going around saying Hybe is the best or BangSihyuk is their bestie, as if nothing was happening. From an outsider perspective, it's illogical and immoral, and that's why Hybe, their groups and their fans are getting criticized and looked down upon.

ATBO disbands

Bop

The worst part in all this, Illit is probably the strongest dance line of their generation in therm of Girl Group, yet here come IZNA, taking the title, with 2 girls having two left feet, and still making it work.
