When I steal the TSA racism machine out of LAX after my flight this weekend because it probably has several albums of unreleased GD and 2NE1 music.

The way she's been talking about her music career in a more positive light recently makes me feel like we might be getting the old boa back too.

if there were so many rounds of SM checks and approvals for an IG post you'd think they would've caught something blatant like that esp considering the timing  

It could be done deliberately by SM or a sabotage by someone else. I've watched enough K-dramas to know anything is possible in Korea

 

I don't believe any idols would have the free will to post anything they want on social media. Even for huge superstars like Taylor or Beyonce, anything they post on social media would be under review by their PR team first.

Some of you gg stans are just as parasocial as bg stans

Honestly @Ryan, I really ate with this quote, and people seem to agree as well. It deserves to be pinned as the recommended post at the top of every page, since it's the message of the week for K-pop stans

KTRL Entertainment announces that Windy Day is preparing for a possible press conference if the smear campaigns and harassment behind the scenes aimed at disrupting their peaceful use of the K-pop Base do not cease immediately.

Tell me this isn't to counter attack A2O Entertainment?

It is a possibility.

 

A condition of HYBE buying LSM's shares in 2023 was to ban him from Korean activities for 3 years, which is why he is only operating in China right now. That restriction will end next year and I think LSM will come running to Korea with A20. Even now, his company is gathering many Korean staff already, including his niece.

 

HYBE's "takeover" plan of SM failed, so I'm not surprised they wanted to ditch their shares quickly, especially with Korean government agencies investigating everything around SM's shares at the moment. Just look at the mess Kakao is in.

That tweet is showing the wrong place. Allianz Arena is in Munich, Germany. The SMTOWN venue is Allianz Stadium in London, U.K. Capacity: 82,000.

 

So, actually SM has been forced to downgrade from a STADIUM to arena which makes it even more hilarious

 

People using parasocial as a drag on a website where they and their opps both have thousands of posts talking about celebrities and users they have never met is odd imo. We all behave parasocially and gender lines have nothing to do with it. 

This is about to be really funny though if it's going where I think its going.

Now what happening with Korea. So many visa issues for entertainment and sports, an entire soccer team had to postpone a show match too due to visa issue. 

None of BLACKSWAN are Korean citizens as far as I'm aware though?

 

Fatou is a Belgian citizen, Gabi has German, Sriya has Indian and NVee is a U.S. citizen.

 

It's a pity the paperwork wasn't already confirmed, but it could be that U.S. authorities denied it or too strict for them to enter the country to work. It's an unfortunate situation for them. Personally I think they would be better off stealing KARD's idea and marketing more in South America for touring.

 

 

Now why did it take them almost 3 months to release this on streaming

You mean obsessive behavior like the following 15 posts that were all made after we were told to take it to DMs and stop dragging down the base with negativity? Most of which were made during a period that I was choosing to to ignore it until it got weird and personal and dishonest again? You've been posting about this with no break longer than a couple hours for two days now, I genuinely think you need to step away and sleep before continuing to double down. You look foolish and the only users agreeing with you are the same ones who have been told to stop attacking me at every given opportunity. 

 

My statement is asking for the blink who knowingly lied when they said I use racist slurs to get a hand up in a fanwar gets banned from the kpop base and/or the website. This is not the first time this user has made knowingly harmful and false tirades over being an anti-fan, as they recently tied IU to the suicide of Choi Jinri, implying IU to be either complacent or a conspirator against her, in a complete absence of any allegations or evidence against IU. @Ubermensch would like to thank the other party for continuing to be a miserable troll, further proving the case for the necessity of action being taken.

and as far as i know neither did @Asscatchem or i claim that she did it on purpose after her apology. both of us are giving her the benefit of the doubt. what we're critical about is the lack of action when it comes to the PPP claiming she's officially endorsing her and making political posters with her name and face on it. yall keep barking without reading the posts

i agree. parasocial relationships are actually normal in this day and age. everybody has them to some extent unless you don't consume any media.

 

parasocial relationships represents any relationship that you have with someone you've never met in real life and don't have any real two-way connection / communication with. so that includes tv presenters, celebrities, streamers, politicians, influencers etc… and it can be positive OR negative, when you hate a celebrity because of the image that you have of them that you got through the medias that you consume for example…

 

so yea, nearly everyone has them and it's a normal psychological reaction.

 

what is not normal is when it goes to borderline psychotic territory where nobody can make a slight critic of someone's fave without them getting angry and immediately retaliating to defend them

 

i'm no exception, i LOVE my favorite celebrities, but i'm also extremely critical of them. they can make mistakes, whether it's on purpose or not. but criticism IS needed

 

today i was critical of karina and SM for letting the right wing party control the narrative and turning karina into a right wing icon. i did that not to hate on her but because i love her as a fan and i'm sad to see that they released the basic "we will be careful from now on and protect our artists" blah blah statement instead of directly threatening to stop using their artist's image to promote their party or else consequences like other korean celebrities did this week.

 

i don't understand why it's hard for some fans to understand this without going on a "my fave makes no mistake, you're an akgae/hater" rant and acting like nothing is happening as if karina hasn't been on national evening news for two days now painting her as an example of political support with absolutely no cease and desist from SM in sight

i agree 100%!!! right wingers tried to do the same thing to another female celebrity in korea yesterday and

she took her official SNS account to ask them to stop using her old pictures of her doing the peace sign to make it look like an endorsement and threatened that she and her company would take legal actions if the party kept using her for promo. it's not that difficult tbh

i'm just asking for them to stop putting words in my mouth about GRAVE issues when i've never said anything or expressed any thoughts about that particular topic without ever apologizing for it when i apologized without a second thought when they already gaslighted me a while ago.

 

in retaliation, they're claiming i'm making insinuations about racism but it's literally impossible not to when they're defending an alleged endorsement of a party that notoriously violently target chinese people, which ningning is, and constantly dismiss the race issue and speak over people who are directly targeted.

 

you do know that i'm always the first to apologize when i'm doing or saying something wrong, but the lies and gaslighting on me and several other members despite me asking kindly to stop has become too much.

 

i'm not asking you to take any punitive actions. i never report anyone especially in this thread. but i'm genuinely shocked at how they accused me multiple times of things i've never said or even thought!!

 

anyway thank you for coming here, ryan, and i'm sorry for your losses and i hope you find strenght during the bad moments and i'm sorry for adding more negativity

yall need to stop

we're getting too old for this 

 

 

OT:
 

I'm happy to die on this hill. What's happened isn't acceptable. The toxic environment in this thread isn't going to magically fix itself while users still think they're allowed to get away with bullying and lying just because it's against a user who is brazen with their tone.

 

The last time this was re-litigated in poor faith because somebody lost an argument and wanted to attack me, users who were tagged in to join in on attacking me accidentally let it slip that in spite of issues in this thread, I'm more than capable of getting into arguments without making it personal and obsessive. I'm obsessed with the music and the idols first and foremost. I can't say the same for another group of users who includes people that have been banned from this forum before under different names or even openly admit to no longer being a kpop fan but still frequently come in here specifically to be toxic and negative.

It's funny because their biggest collaboration outside of their ambassadors (Rihanna, Hunter Schaeffer, Lil Baby, Tate McRae, etc.) is with Handmaid's Tale in an attempt to speak out on women's oppression. If users like @Asscatchem and @Windy Day are claiming Karina wore the outfit on purpose for a political reason, why aren't they giving her credit for wearing a pro-LGBTQIA, pro-BLM, pro-feminist brand?

 

and? if i slash people with a butcher knife but it was ethically sourced from erewhon do i deserve credit?

Karina is the one with ROCKET PUNCHER. Winter is the one with ARMAMENTER who uses knives and swords. If you're going to troll at least put in the effort to be consistent with the lore. 

people complaining about a "toxic environment" being the same ones hurling personal attacks
