They're going to receive comments about them copying for the rest of their careers because of Hybe not handling Min Heejin's internal complaint privately. I don't even think their concept now is similar to NewJeans but purposefully reaping confusion at their debut did them in with that reputation forever.

I collect both CDs and some vinyl. For CDs I've slowly bought my favorites over time both online or in store if I see them. I like to grab Japanese editions when available because I think the OBIs on the side are cool. Also, thrift stores sell CDs ranging from like $.25~1 so I've picked up a lot of ones there that I might not have thought to get otherwise. Usually I'll scan everything I get onto my PC in .flac after, too so that I can preserve the files. Vinyl I'll get for all time favorites. I recently purchased Kylie Minogue's Light Years in a reprint which I was really happy about.

Meanwhile losers on Twitter say things like "he's a closet case" or "not really into what he's doing."

Idc about Tuide but in context of that tweet they're just quoting a line from that show Industry lol

Oh wow, I totally hear it. It is a popular melody but I wouldn't be surprised if The Sphinx is the initial inspiration. As someone said before the chorus and verses are pretty much the same.

Ugh my poor tax evading meowmeow. On a real note that is so creepy. I kinda wonder if it was Fantagio wiretapping him for blackmail.

Sounds more Avril than Olivia to me. Truthfully I didn't even think of her til I saw this thread. The song is cute but I don't know if I'll be revisiting it.

When I read this my first thought would be how annoying this is going to be for Abdul to deal with. Then I realized if it wasn't this, Dems and Republicans would both already be clutching their pearls over anything else Hasan said regardless. It doesn't matter. And objectively, he is right.

None of this had to happen and that's what makes it so insane! All of this over an internal complaint and wanting an excuse to oust/bury MHJ. Here's hoping all future cases (after being endlessly delayed) reflect this.

Illit director Serian Heu lost her case against Min Heejin. Sat for Belift vs MHJ on November 13th

Miss Purposeful Pop showing she has no morals yet again

The late 2010s were such a cultural low to me lol

I was so happy that they were finally blowing up here omg its a shame that this is one of their worst songs nnnn This absolute classic

Thank you, that is predictably a lot of the talking points I'd expect. My curiousity came from how it could be articulated in the court of law. A lot of this just plays as deny deny deny, but Belift can't erase what people were saying before all of this blew up to the public which makes it interesting.

This was an interesting read, but I'd like it if there were Kim & Chang (or BeLift's) closing argument included too just to see what was fully said. "To summarize, the controversy over the similarities between ILLIT and NewJeans existed before the defendant's statements, and it was HYBE that ignored the defendant's legitimate internal concerns and escalated the conflict on a massive scale. The plaintiff's absurd framing that "the press conference was part of the defendant's planned public-opinion campaign" has already been rejected in the related case."

Yeah from what I've heard it is strongholded by them basically

Ouh I've kept my mouth shut for your sake but you should watch it with Riize considering the noise Stray Kids makes for music

Sakura can't sing like duh, but to me she had incredible presence in IZ*ONE which counts for something. Eunchae makes you want to turn off the song. Right? Lets talk about real filler members

They do not fit luxury brands at all ctfu

Its obvious that YG leaked these when the girls didn't want to renew there, of course they wouldn't want her to say anything Anybody familiar with K-Pop knows that YG is basically a criminal organization, this didn't get shown from thin air over ethics. Its great that she said something and apologized rather than just ignoring it. I don't think she deserves eternal damnation for being told to perform something by adults that she didn't understand the meaning of at the time.

Sure, but it is a different position of power when a parent hates their child opposed to a child resenting their parents later in life. If somebody only wants a child with their own DNA, they should not be adopting.

While I understand your sentiment of why that line of thinking is morally wrong, I personally wouldn't want somebody who feels that way to adopt in the first place. There is a good chance they will grow to resent that child.

I don't use generative AI for anything in my life. I've noticed that its easy to become a duller person when frequently relying on these systems and I don't want to welcome that into myself. Even reading some posts here, it is clear how doing so can make you fall into ways that inhibit personal growth or outreach.

They don't chart and lack actual member recognition beyond (maybe) Ahyeon who is usually getting wacked. No matter how you put it they are a step down from typical YG group metrics.
