    nnn the popup message nnn.. thought i was getting banned for a sec 

  • I'm going to eat the spaghetti today while reading all the meltdowns. I'm still not going to stream Spaghetti though but I will choose to stream this instead     After all the

  • aespa didn't chart but guess what, we're STILL not streaming Stray Kids  

SEULGI invited Yeji onto her YouTube show and congratulated her solo debut

We love a generous and gracious sunbaenim :clap3:

 

 

Also they said their duo should be called "AIR BNB" after their solo songs "Air" and "Baby, Not Baby (BNB)" :dies:

Wait I heard XG's "Is This Love" on a TikTok dance video and it's so good???? Omg I haven't heard of them since Shooting Star

The reality is that MHJ should never had involved the girls until she had her case sorted, I wasn't happy when that happened :chick3:

 

She was literally accused of white collar crimes and the harassmed to employee B, she should have dealt with all of these first! 

Now the girls are involved, they already have to pay the lawsuit fees of the injuction and their main lawsuit is already compromised by this preliminary ruling...

I am not feeling very hopeful 

He's doing everything, BUT apologizing publically

we NEED to boycott all those HYBE groups

 

bad music, talentless, fraud, the way ALL hybe groups are consist of those negative attributes.

Yeah, it's time to turn it up to 100. Let's start by constantly reporting Jimin for chart fraud.

Not me forgetting LSRFM was in HYBE for a sec. Deleting HOT from my library 

Absolutely deleted it and never listening to a song from them again. I was willing to forgive since they're victims to an extent, but I will absolutely not be supporting anything HYBE.

Pretends to be surprised

 

Ready for another meltdown instagram post from NJ and Heehee and somehow will drag ILLIT and LSRFM name into their war with Bang Shitty
 

"ILLIT members has long black hair and wearing Hanbok"

 

"LSRFM received more payola than us. We only got 4 MV for our debut EP while LSRFM made their debut MV in the gymnasium." 

Crazy that you all pretend to be K-pop fans, know that idols regularly kill themselves or disappear from the spotlight due to the mistreatment they get and then openly support the company mistreating artists just because you stan an artist from that company. Like you realize that if they're openly mistreating other artists and their staff, they're probably mistreating your fave, too, right?

Get into this smash too

 

 

Who's ready to go break some hybe director knees with me? I'll bring the weapons and set up convincing alibis. :bunny:

In the end we ALL are responsible for the mistreatment idols still get from their companies as we keep consuming their products. We are part of the problem too. 
 

 

Next BTS Army to say the words Min Heejin in this thread is getting the essay to end all essays. :bunny:

 

On March 20 at approximately 1:31 p.m. KST, the girl group's music video for "Lovesick Girls" surpassed 800 million views on YouTube. This is approximately four years, five months, and 18 days since the music video's release on October 2, 2020 at 1 p.m. KST.

Things are not looking good for this girls.

 

Heehee is just at fault like HYBE, no amount of artsy fartsy can erase that it is also her own big ego that caused this girls' careers :doc:

No because it's actually so disrespectful not just to NJZ but to the entire ******* industry for army to continuously simp for this minimally talented bow-legged cow who's only significant contribution to the Korean music industry was pioneering the widespread practice of stealing any and everything that G-Dragon and Lee Sooman didn't bolt to the ******* floor. No talent, no soul, no concern for the welfare of the CHILDREN he consistently signs off on debuting at younger and younger ages into an industry known for slave-like labor conditions and sexualizing minors; just plagiarism, cheeseburgers, evil foreign investors, and escorts all going straight to his head and/or arteries.

 

BTS themselves lowkey supported NJZ and that should have been enough for their mentally unwell stans to support the girls. The word company stan gets thrown around a lot but if you're going to ignore the thoughts of your idols and the interest of real artists because of corporate politics fueled by jealousy then that is the only word for you. It's clearly not about art or artists for them. The audacity of pigman bang to steal the creative director of the most prestigious entertainment company in Korea and then kneecap her resources and subsequently lash out when her decades-long track record of consistently being the best in the game continues is astounding.

 

The grip that HYBE has on the media is even more controlling than SM was during 2nd gen and it's sickening to think that real innovators can be falsely written off as conniving predators in this industry on the whims of a useless man-child. The first actually unique hallyu icon since 2nd gen has been stopped dead in their tracks and that is a loss that will ripple through the industry for decades to come as we stray further and further from the former kpop focus on being talented and musically interesting. A shift that was cooked up in the same board room that decided to kill off the best group they ever debuted to make way for shI(lli)t. A shift designed specifically to reduce the bargaining power and creative control that idols were formerly able to achieve.

 

This goes so further than fanwars, this is real loss for all fans of kpop. If you're too talented or too unique you are punished and forced back in line. This is the same bullshit media culture that took Sulli, Jonghyun, Hara, etc away from us too soon.

 

These girls really had everything it takes to take the industry higher, and as we've seen 100 different times in kpop, a rising tide lifts all ships. There's no way to spin this loss as anything other than the biggest tragedy in kpop in years.

For the record SNSD's youngest was 16 at debut and  I was into Kpop when SNSD were all full adults already

 

Red Velvet around Bad Boy era 

 

I made no excuses how creepy it was back then as it is now

But apparently they aren't allowed to exist in public below a certain age, even if they're fully willing and ready to put in the work and follow every bs rule this industry throws at them along the way. :clap3:

There's child stars in every industry yet East Asian industries seem to be the only industry called creepy and weird for it.
