Anyway, her whole schtick is definitely a persona made up by the old men in her agency, she's just playing into the sexy-but-not-oversexualized stereotype that all men have of lesbians.

>when they are eating it up

Twitter trends mean absolutely nothing. Her last album sold 8k copies (less than even Yuri) and her tour venues have 800 seats at most; armys will hype her up but spend all their money on BTS, and now that she's decided to queerbait more the Korean public might not like that either.

This move won't work for very long, expect her to drop a #MeToo themed album when she finds the likes and RTs lessening.

Pic related is her going on stage with a rainbow flag during Warsaw concert.
She's obviously queerbaiting, but I wonder if this is going to be good for her career in Korea? Even "woke kings" BTS, who rely on international fans, have been extra vague (aka haven't said shit) about LGBT and stuff. Even if it's just baiting, it's a pretty bold move.

Kpop fans should realize that their idols are more likely to be homophobic than gay. I always felt this wishful thinking came from the fact that female fans are completely unwilling to imagine their male idol dating a pretty, better than them in every way type of girl. It would shatter their fantasy of their idol being attainable and available. It also applies to female groups because some incel kept threatening to kill APINK because they were on some variety dating show

No. 34355

>>34354
i disagree. i think most idols either don't care about lgbt stuff or they're secretly supportive of it. obviously there are homophobic idols like siwon, but i don't think it's that common. if we were talking about the k-hip hop scene i'd agree.

Lol so many non-idol men in Korea fucking despise gay men anon. Doesn’t mean they are out there protesting, but they are still disgusting bybthe idea of two men being together. Or hate the idea of being considered gay. It’s like middle school all over again. “I wear lip balm, but don’t worry, I’m not a fucking gay guy!” Just by the odds I’m willing to bet at least half of the make idols are like this too.

Nta but isn't there a big possibility that a lot of the male idols are gay, closeted? After all gay guys, as much as it's a cliche, are very into the kind of showy shit kpop puts out and I get I lot of gay fanboy vibes from the non-korean idols from Japan, US and such. I might be way off though and most male idols probably are very homophobic and sexist pigs either way.

The amount of money he would save if he stopped being an incel and realized that these girls are paid to interact with him and do not care about him in the least… I don't understand why fans genuinely think idols care about them when they have to spend at least 1500 USD to see them up close (you can't enter fan meets unless you have bought at least 100 albums).

To me Mark shoving away his friend when he wants to hold his hand is very telling.
In many idols minds fanservice is okay to do, it's something fans want to see and they don't mind as they do it with their friends. In Korea in fact it's more normal than anywhere else for boys to sit close/have arms around each other. So it comes with the culture. (this is something I read multiple times from people going to korea and seeing these things on the streets/in the metro)
But in Mark's mind, who was raised in Canada, his friend touching him is GAYYYY which is why he reacted that way.
It's funny to me he's not only naturally ugly (the others we can argue only got ugly due to surgeries) but he's also homophobic.

I don't want to tinfoil or anything but does Mark not like Haechan or something? Can any nctfags or anybody with any kind of knowledge on NCT confirm that?

No. 34412

>>34409
it's also another explanation for fujo kboos that their ships aren't real. like male idols going around slapping each other's butts isn't seen as gay because they don't even think about being gay as a possibility, they see it as guys being comfortable with each other. i also don't think an idol who is actually gay and closeted would be comfortable with gay fanservice tbh

another tinfoil but the fact that 21 guys have to split income probably contributes to animosity among them

in the fandom they are considered best friends. haechan often teases him that way and the reaction is always very similar.. mark is either homophobic or very much closeted and scared to be outed (I highly doubt this possibility)

No. 34417

>>34412
yeah exactly, I feel like in many idols brains the possibility of what they do being gay doesn't even register. at least when they just hug or hang out very closely.
they may think its crossing a line during the kissing games tho, hence why they always have cringe reactions to it.

That doesn't mean that he's any more homophobic than the others tho. If Korean guys were socialised to think men holding hands = gay, then they would act the same way as he did.

from googling this and their member profile (i dont know much about NCT, i dont like the boybands) there are images of mark squeezing haechan's thigh and them holding hands. and then there are images of this mark guy doing tons of weird homoerotic shit with other men. apparently it's an injoke that haechan likes to grab other members hands?

also korean seniority culture means mark and haechan aren't equals because of age and he might've seen the hand grab from a younger guy as a power move/flex or its a joke between them

Fans consider them to be best friends and they're the most popular ship. Mark and Haechan actually had a very obvious falling out with each other a while back. They disliked each other enough at one point to switch rooms (they were roommates I think) and wouldn't touch each other in one of their choreographies. And people just used that occurrence to feed into the idea that Mark and Haechan are boyfriends.
I feel like everyone in NCT hates one another and I don't blame them for that considering SM literally fabricates their relationships and created fake romances between them for fanservice.

I will never understand what makes any of you think the rest of Bigbang are good guys just because they’re not directly involved in Seungri’s prostitution scandal. I’ve even seen videos of them shading Seungri in interviews as proof that they disapprove of his “business deals” but you guys act like they didn’t willingly turn a blind eye to all the shady stuff Seungri did. They could’ve easily gone to the authorities (not the police obviously, but there are other avenues) or just made it public and dealt with the lawsuit fees, but their fame and money was more important to them. If one of the bts members turned out to be supplying date rape victims for wealthy businessmen at clubs I’m sure this thread would be foaming at the mouth about how everyone in the group is complicit so idk why Bigbang is any different.

why are they so delulu? i dont even like the beatles or queen much but they created their own songs without being manufactured and queen's live act was legendary. jimincel's screeching is comparable to that? they're more like fucking NKOTB (sold 100 million, no one knows who they are now)

I pray that that is their eventual fate. And interestingly, they are even less talented than NKOTB (some of whom could play instruments and compose). BTS otoh are such a thoroughly worthless group. Bad singing, bad dancing, can't write music, can't play instruments and almost all of them had to get massive ps in order to be considered palatable in their own country. So what are they good for?
>Atomic Bomb Boys
Koreans stay classy.
Knetz and retarded BTS fans have been harassing that group constantly and making up tons of insane rumors about them. The ironic thing is that they are part of LDH aka Exile's company and their company has been doing this sound and style since BTS were in elementary school. The only reason that they have any similarities is because kpop has been lifting from American hip hop and jmusic since it's inception.

As someone who observed their rise: they really utilised social media, especially Twitter where international fans gather. They would post selfies like every single day, post vlives all the time and really maxed it hard on the fan engagement side. Fans only care about groups that provide a constant stream of content, even if it's not musical content. You get a good amount of Twitter stans and you're set for an intense fanbase that spam you everywhere.

No. 34649

Because groups like that are made and managed and even the members are chosen with a different marketing strategy in mind. Groups like Twice were created purely to be marketed towards mouth breathing incels and pedos, so it doesn't matter if they have talentless members and shit songs as long as the members fit the marketing scheme and please their incel fans.

Mamamoo has the strong woman wanna-be concept, so the members were chosen purposely for this concept. They tried to choose artists that are better singers than the average idol and they also gave them songs with a more western vibe.

Red Velvet has the dual concept going on and I'm not sure what the initial marketing strategy was because honestly SM seems to not be able to really stick to a strategy and they are all over the place. But they chose Wendy and Seulgi which are definitely above the average idol when it comes to talent, Irene and Joy are average but Irene is really pretty according to Korean standards and then they added Yeri for some reason, I think they might have added her for pedo points.

Damn, this dude has such a good voice (albeit feminine, but I find it really interesting). I never would had figured he would be eliminated so quickly. You can just tell Korea only hypes up the most basic and talent less people.

idk what they are doing since they've just made a comeback the other month but bts released a song with charli xcx. armys can keep denying reality all they want but bts are literally taking the chance to collaborate with any somewhat relevant american artist they find while never having worked with any korean group. they love the attention in america.

So apparently, bts had been invited to become members of the 'Recording Academy'class of 2019. Someone explained from the comments that it was supposed to be a group of people who votes for grammy award winners on 2020.

i believe it was a collab for the soundtrack of their upcoming game that was probably mentioned on the previous thread.

Anyway, bts were clout chasers ever since jungkook covered that charlie puth song. They realised how big of an impact it has when they latch onto foreign/western acts so they grab every oppurtunity to collab. Plus they are narcissistic and thinks they were some top tier A+++ boyband that doesn't deserve sharing the fame with fellow korean artists because they weren't previleged like them when starting up and started from the ground with a dirt poor company. I mean, if they don't think highly of themselves too much now they would have tried collabing with fellow koreans and be the humble kings ratmys claims them to be or something. I mean, psy did collab with hyuna too despite collabing with snoopdog at the height of his popularity. Psy didn't try to collab with every single american artist left and right.

That whole kboo thing wouldn't be such a big problem if the concept of girl and boy groups + soft and innocent styling + being cutesy would be a thing in the west too. Nobody likes kpop because of traditional korean culture itself (same for japan, china, etc).
But dumb tumblrinas and twitter stans would probably say that light makeup and the likes are korean culture in itself and therefore us or euro girls doing that too are culturally appropriating.

It's because Korean editing is designed to make the nose bridge appear higher, the skin whiter and pinker, the eyes bigger and the face slimmer.

Even black people are fetishized among those who are into hip-hop there so it's not even only white people. Just look at jay park, probably the biggest "blackboo" in the industry (or ratmon?).

Apparently it happened again today.

She absolutely needs to take a break from touring/promotions or YG at least needs to make a public statement addressing her physical or mental health because it’s not okay for people to get sick literally every day at work.

It also seems like a mental thing (depression, anxiety etc) rather than a physical illness because sometimes she can put on decent performances with good energy and is clearly in a good mood, depending on the event or location (coachella or other major appearances) but when she’s otherwise not excited about her job that day, she’s suddenly physically ill?

I get the impression she isn’t taking care of her mental health because a Korean company like YG wouldn’t prioritize that in their workers and probably don’t provide her with counseling or psychological assessments, so who knows how she’s coping with her career, but it seems like she’s blatantly not coping at all right now.

To be honest, same here. Back before the Burning Sun thing CDAN (blind item site, it's hit and miss whether the shit posted on there is real or not) had a blind item about a Korean girl group member being made to sleep with a high-up at Coachella to get them in the festival. Blackpink were the only Kpop girl group to play Coachella.

Now that it turns out Burning Sun has basically been a front for YG to sell drugs and traffic women, it makes me think back to that blind item. And wonder what else Blackpink might be being made to do.

Regardless of whatever she has or has not, to me she never seemed like the type of girl who would enjoy the idol life, so after getting to know bp better I really couldn't understand why she chose that path.
She looks like she'd rather be a socialite, going on fashion shows and all. it seems like she thought becoming an idol would be a fun thing but now that it isn't what she imagined it to be she's become disillusioned and is burning out. Just my two cents tho.

SS has been pushing them hard by having either one of them start and end each song, having them in the center when they aren't even singing, giving them more lines, having them in the middle for photoshoots and giving them more screen time.

Bora went from January of 1990 to December of 1989 and Hyolyn January of 1991 to December of 1990. I know they wanted to make it seem Bora was a 90s baby and subtract a year from Korean age from both but it was literally the most pointless lie imaginable. Who the fuck gives a shit about a month?

Interesting, I did not know about that. I wonder whether she lied to everybody or if her agency knew and then her let take the fall. Though you can definitely see that she's very much an adult, trying to act younger lol

When googling that I couldn't help but notice how much prettier the idols back then were. They had no ps and despite being young, they were styled in a mature (but not overly sexual) way, they were tall and had their normal skin colour. I wonder when this whole innocent baby with chalk white skin thing started. When Boa debuted she was also still marketed as "though".

the backlash he got was pretty obscene, especially after he was super blatant in supporting a bisexual transperson on twitter. lots of “you’re just an idol, it’s not that deep, stay in your lane”… I think it definitely set a precedent for how idols navigate those issues to this day (jonghyun also had the shitty luck of setting the precedent for dispatch scandals, being their very first. ugh. nobody has to grasp at straws to wonder why he might’ve felt so stuck.)
sunmi at the very least waved the flag, which has a lot of meaning to lgbt people fighting for pride. if she was pandering, it felt like she was pandering to her actually gay base. bts always comes across like everything they do is meant to pander toward (mostly foreign) straight teenage girls, and that any sj characteristics are just to fuel the fantasy of a woke oppa.

No. 35050

Yes exactly! I've noticed that they only talk about these things when they're not in Korea.
It's really not an accomplishment to tell your European fans that you're supporting gay rights.
They all jumped on this trend because kpop has become more international so they try to get woke points because it obviously worked for bts.

but later shinee had a pretty consistent formula for line distribution based on the members vocal color and center status (taemin is super vocally limited but pushed as center, etc), and once you hear onew’s fanboy and decide which rap verse is butch enough for minho, the remaining members parts are pretty apparent… it’s not unlike sm to hold onto track for a long time (Russian roulette?) and they probably blew a bunch of money on the 5hinee 10th anniversary that never happened/want to recoup costs.

Holy shit, as a Shinee fan this makes me really sad. Ever since JH passed and Taemin's solo has been gaining traction, Shinee is basically done so I expect more of these Shinee demos to be given to NCT.
I don't feel like it's a smart move though. Shinee gained a fanbase of older women with their first single and then moved gradually into the electronic stuff but it feels like NCT hasn't pandered and established a direct demographic as their audience. NCT Dream was very successful with their first two singles as appealing to 'noona' fans but last I checked, SM has thrown away the 'younger' concept for them which is ultimately going to screw them over as well.
Might also be worth mentioning that Exo gained a lot of fans in their Growl era which aesthetically was known for the school uniforms and probably appealed to the average Korean girl. If SM was to replicate the same boy-next-door pandering for NCT as they did with NCT Dream previously, I think they'd have better luck.

>>35038
Rose is basically Bom at this point. Maybe Lisa will get some vocal lessons and become the Minzy of the group, who surprisingly became undoubtably the best singer out of the four by 2014. I have no hope for Jennie or Jisoo since their vocal tones are so grating and will still be unpleasant to listen to even if they receive proper vocal training.

I didn't get that vibe from DNYL, that was one of their most boy next door concepts yet. Granted, it was a station and hrvy got most of the lines.

Am I the only one who thinks this lineup are much more competent singers than anything else NCT has to offer? Their voices are nice, they have better synergy without Haechan and Mark. Shame SM has turned them into Youtubers while they shower the inferior unit in comebacks, tours, and promotion.

I was actually just asking a question because it's something that I've heard across multiple forums in the past few years and I'm confused how anyone came to the conclusion that it was intended for Jungsis. It seems more f(x) than Jungsis to me.

>>35088
I didn't see this, but now I'm realizing that you're right and that NCT Dream has consistently been using that image up until now. But SM is using a graduation system for them iirc which seems like a bad idea considering they're the ones who got the entire NCT system their first music show win.

I don't know why it is but I agree with you that these kids are a hell of a lot better as a group than the older members. NCT 127 has better sales than Dream but I think the added promotion and tours is working in their favor, and if Dream were promoted in that same amount they'd be received far better.

No. 35090

The 127 unit is also a bit too old (looks-wise) right now to appeal to noona fans or Korean schoolgirls honestly. They all look like they're in their early 30s already. Exo and shinee had the twink image down pat at debut and aged along with their fanbase, while 127 is just SM's poor cosplay of a YG hip-hop group

SM is shooting itself in the foot if they plan to go through with the graduation idea, they'll lose all but one of NCT Dream's members so they would either have to try and build the fanbase from the ground up or scrap the group completely, all while doing god knows what with the other members.

the graduation idea in kpop has always been so fucking dumb. it makes sense in the japanese idol context only (even then i believe the whole point with onyanko club was that they were schoolgirls and some idols could go solo or get married). kpop on the other hand is supposed to focus on the idol's 'personality' and 'talent' which do not disappear when someone hits 20. after school debuted with a member who was literally on the edge of being 30 it made no sense at all

What I don't understand is how SM, YG and JYP have so many ugly and talentless trainees. The kids on the Produce shows would freak out at the sight of an SM, YG or JYP trainee like they're royalty but usually the trainee themselves is far better-looking or talented than whichever kid the Big 3 sends. Does anyone understand how exactly these kids end up at other companies? Like after all the shit that has gone down with T-ara, I wouldn't be signing a contract with MBK. Or signing with TS Ent after B.A.P, or like 90% of other labels seeing how many existing groups are basically irrelevant or poorly treated by the labels. It's like basically asking to become impoverished, enslaved and later neglected for ~10 years.

I suppose trying to be an idol is a terrible decision anyway but I guess I don't understand how these giant labels hardly debut anyone with 'star quality' anymore.

i think the quality of trainees ALL across the board has dwindled as social media has exploded. its getting worse every year.

i am so fucking sick of blackpink and i need to vent about it lol. 2NE1 wasn't my favorite group but seeing those charisma vacuums flop around on stage makes me miss them so much. they were given the same concept and the same songs as 2NE1 but it just doesn't work the same way. it was empowering to see (at least) three average looking women sing about being confident and unashamed, even if it was all just a gimmick. what a slap in the face for yg to call them ugly for years and then abandon them for some less talented but more attractive understudies. why the hell would anyone root for these toothpicks? what is likeable about any of them at all?

I feel so bad for the blackpink girls that I can't really bring myself to hate them, even if their popularity honestly baffles me. But I've always gotten the impression that they're under an even bigger amount of pressure than most idols to maintain a specific image. After all, YG basically just puts out the bare minimum amounts of songs for them to be considered musicians while they earn the large majority of their income from modelling gigs. On variety shows they're all stiff and uncomfortable and talking in super forced baby voices. They had so much more stage presence and energy when they debuted, I wouldn't be surprised if the girls are becoming increasingly disillusioned with idol life and just biding their time until their contracts expire.

When I see an idol who's obviously struggling with mental or physical health I always wonder why no one in their group ever seems concerned or wants to help. I can't assume that that's true for all groups but with something like anorexia where it's visible that their condition keeps on getting worse and worse, I assume nobody gives a shit.

Or in other groups cases can't do anything about it cos its not like they can eat more than what they are told to by management, or if they tell someone its not like higher ups always care about physical or mental health.

All celebrities are under huge pressure and nobody is feeling sorry for them either - difference is that some of them at least deserve their fame.
They're adult women who are insanely rich, I honestly can't bring myself to pity them. Especially knowing just how hard idols from older generations worked; meanwhile they wore Gucci already pre-debut.
They're getting coddled so much, they definitely could change things if they tried hard enough (e.g. doesn't Jisoo talk in a non-aegyo voice while the foreign members act all cutesy?), they could get help for mental problems if they wanted. Even if their agency is against it, they have enough free time and money to do so on their own.

1000s are praising Top because he supposedly always disliked Seungri (doesn't that mean that he might have known? and therefore is guilty too?), they're "sad" because Seungri was always the least popular member and therefore acted out.

Somi has no stage presence what’s so ever. The only reason she got to be the center of IOI was because she was young and mixed with white, two things a lot of Korean men love. Now that’s she’s debuting by herself people are now realizing how untalented she is.

No. 35221

With Somi her dad is a full on stage dad, who I'm pretty sure was the one that took her out of JYP cos he wanted to "manage" her originally. And he is already shitting on her in favour of her little sister (saying her sister is already more talented than Somi and she's like 10 or something). I feel like a lot of hate is coming cos of her dad's actions. If she debuted a lot sooner after P101 ended, I don't feel like she would be getting as much hate, despite her (lack of) talents.

She looks fine and is probably at a higher underweight or a normal BMI. People don't understand how much proportions + body shape influence how you look, and even if you do work out, there's only so much you can do. You can diet but the reality is that your limbs are always gonna be short, and you're always going to be petite. No hate either because I'm petite and struggle with it myself, but I wish people would stop discriminating and putting celebrities down about stuff that they literally can't change (unless you get leg lengthening PS which is really sus).

For me, Hitman bang's "success formula" that he brags about using on txt seems like the same generic shit any other companies had done, it wasn't ingenous at all.

So apparently…

There is a scam going on the event blackpink participated in SE asia. It was a shoppee meet and greet where supposedly the highest spender get to attend the said event. Fans spent thousands to be the highest spender and qualify but on the day of the meet and greet they had to be cancelled. So fans were mad about it because social media influencers and celebrities get a free pass while fans who spent thousands of money got their spot robbed and was given a 1000 coupon.

So… to make the issue less noticeable, they had to do the media play…

And that's were Jennie had to act all queasy and sick so all the attention would get diverted to her and have her #jenniegetwellsoon trend instead of the #shoppeescam

I mean, some other idols put on a face that they were okay despite hurting onstage but she had to make it so obvious she's sick and tired. If its not for media play and someone is really sick onstage… I would rather believe it was jisoo or lisa dying on stage because of being malnourished ana-chans instead of her. She really needs to debut as an actress instead of an idol. Maybe she wouldn't suck at it…

I honestly don't think that idols from other agencies could take anything illegal, it's just YG artists who all seem to think they're the bestest and the baddest and therefore act all "hood" while also being a Gucci queen/king.
All of them are so obnoxious and tryhard, no idea how anybody could like that. Them walking around on stage is not improvising or being true hip hop artists, they're only too lazy to dance.

And remember, it's not been that long ago that Top was caught - a normal Korean would have been punished severely - but beause of YG's media play and bribery (and because Top acted like a sad boi) he got away and barely lost any of his millions of asskissing fans.

I can't wait for the day Zico gets busted. Seolhyun's career got ruined because of him. How can anybody look at him and not see how sleazy and creepy he is?

Anyway, I agree with you. I don't like him either. From what I know, he was a shady character right from the start. His father was involved in scamming people and was caught and jailed. People literally protested having him debut but I guess Yg had a grand plan of making him gd 2.0 that's why he pushed through.

Dispatch scandals are always so SUS. IMO every SM dating scandal is a cover or trade for something, dating back to Jonghyun. Bearding seems to be the most logical explanation, especially w high profile centers like Baekhyun, JH, and Kai (multiple times!) getting “caught” … the collateral fan damage is so high that if they knew in advance (and they def did) the images must be the result of some super calculated choices, and SM seems like they would be way more vulnerable to and eager to cover for gay shit tbqh.

There might be more shit he's trying to hide; it's possible that he didn't want more things about him or his parents to surface.

I feel it may have been a trade off tbh.
SM's day is coming eventually. There was a lot of shit going on with SNSD that I believe hasnt come out yet and when it does its going to put the final nail in the OT9 coffin, which is going to cost them a LOT of money. And I believe SM has tried really hard to keep it quiet for whatever reason. The truth about Jessica, and why the other girls were literally being punished by the company(and eventually left minus the few) HAS to come out eventually. And I have a feeling Taeyeon has dealt with some shit too. Theres been a lot of stuff said over the years that really makes me side eye SM and how they've dealt with her and her depression and possible traumas that she has alluded to. I'll be perched.

No. 35492

kai's ladykiller image seems way more staged and fake to me. i think sm would be way more invested in protecting his heterosexual masc image than deflecting rumors for more blatantly flaming members.

in b4 >ew gross fujoshi ruin everything<; not an exo-l (too old), but in a large creative arts organization or a boyband, i would be shocked if everyone was heterosexual.

sm seems too straightlaced to allow for a yg drug scandal, and there is no existing template for navigating a gay scandal. it's never been done with a major idol, it's ruined the careers of the few non-idol's who've been caught, and it's grounds for exemption from military service–can you even imagine the toxicity of a gay draft-dodging scandal??

it's one of the main reasons i think that some of the more flamboyant talent have been reluctant to come out or even acknowledge lgbt anything; even of it's an open secret amongst fans and fujo fangirls would love it, the army thing would kill their careers.

Why would they do that when companies are fully aware of the catastrophic result of dating scandals? That would be shooting themselves in the foot. In the end companies would lose a lot of money because the fans would be really upset and ditch xyz idol(s)thus practically ending said idol's career which equals lost revenue for the company.

(And besides Sehun literally said he likes men and yet SM hasn't put him in a fake hetero relationship idk)

Im not knowledgeable enough to delve into it any more than what she herself has said. She has said she almost didnt debut, and literally up and left the trainee dorm and went back home, on her own with no transportation because it was "too hard". People speculated that there was some abuse or something there idk. And its typical that if a trainee were to do something like that, they wouldnt be kept on the roster but for whatever reason, they let her come back. And I wonder how much of that was her decision and why they wanted her in the group so badly. Like I said, hopefully it all eventually comes out so SM can be destroyed too. And she mentions her depression almost constantly in interviews ever since 2012 or so. Jonghyun used to do the same thing. I worry about her and hope the end result wont be the same.

No. 35500

because the catastrophic result of a homosexual dating scandal would be worse! this drug and violent crime stuff has only emerged because of line and messaging apps—I’m sure idols get photographed high all the time and it just gets read as looking exhausted or excited or ~4D~. 1 image of an idol doing anything beyond skins ship w a same sex partner would be beyond gold; it would be the only one of its kind. If i was Sm I would do all sorts of shit, including volunteering staged hetero dating scandals, to avoid that possibility. It wouldn’t just define the idol; it would define the group and the company and the Korean news cycle. The military concern above can’t be overstated, especially considering scandals as boring as deferring to a “softer” service because of an injury or smt. Normal dating scandals are predictably bad; a gay scandal would be totally unpredictable.

She wanted to do a more rock sound and when they finally let her do a rock solo a couple of times in concert, and she got to dress and perform Bad Girl in Japan, she seemed a little more happy. Her fans say its uWu endearing, but clearly she was over it and despite it, worked really hard still. It still doesnt explain why she came back after the trainee incident though.

Kinda happy for CLC that they were able to revive interest in their group.
But am I alone though in thinking that "Me" sounds like a song meant for 4Minute before they broke up? It kinda sounds like 4Minute's last song "Hate." I mean I like the song but it feels like CLC is basically now picking up where 4Minute left off, and that may be the reason for their success but eh, idc.

> 1. [+4,014, -42] What I found the most disturbing about his Katalk conversation is the part where he mentioned that he does drugs to become a genius. That's not an idea that comes from personal experience. He obviously saw a famous star around him use drugs and have it lead to success and maybe even went around telling people that it was a source of inspiration for themselves, which is probably how BI came to that conclusion himself. Can't help but think that especially since he's under YG too. Anyway, this all just feels like YG cutting BI is just cutting the scandal at its tail.


First: is GD getting officially cancelled soon?

Also tbh I agree with this:
> 9. [+160, -23] I just feel bad for him. Yes, I agree that he did something wrong and that he should take responsibility for that but he's still young and talented, and he also worked hard too. He's lost it all now over a moment of poor judgment. I just find it so weird that these kids start committing crimes the minute they join YG. A lot of them are naturally talented so I'm wondering if YG is putting them under a lot of pressure and possibly even providing criminal ways to escape that stress. YG has stood behind GD, TOP, Kush etc, so for them to cut BI out just seems like they're trying to cut the scandal at its tail.

I actually feel bad for B.I if his self-esteem was so low that he'd think he could only write music on drugs when he's probably just emulating what "Jiyong-hyung" has probably said for years now.

We all know that GD is doing drugs harder than weed but YG is for sure paying people off to save his golden boy.

Yeah, it all happened while I was on exchange in SK lol.

It basically started with my friend sugardating the CEO of the Asian region of a pretty big clothing brand. She met him at Octagon. He was much older than her (and me) and he wasn't really that fun, but he was loaded. The brand sponsored lots of groups back then, so he was friends with a lot of industry insiders. Through my friend, I met the stage director she knew through her Sugardaddy, through the stage director I met new friends, and through them etc, etc, etc. It was basically an avalanche.

It all peaked with me being graciously allowed to party with some of the people from AMOG and I was allowed to visit their studio. It's pretty embarrassing, thinking back about it now.

my tinfoil theory is that at YG, drugs are probably more integrated into the company culture (ie at annual parties, etc) and at SM it’s more “don’t ask, don’t tell” and at the discretion of individual members/management teams, less for the purpose of getting lit than for self-medicating exhaustion and mental illness.

i see no reason to doubt the op–why not, even for fun? she's not being defensive after being called out on the legitimacy of her story and posted proof that would be dumb to fabricate.

imo people who have never been around rampant drug use don't believe it. there's a naive concept of what a high functioning drug user looks like. plus a little "oh no, not my oppas!!" in regards to exo.

rich people love cocaine and people around rich people almost always have access to it. it's a status symbol since it's so expensive per gram, and while it can be dangerous (meaning instantly toxic and life-threatening), it usually isn't. cocaine mostly just makes you feel like a brilliant asshole on top of the world for 45 minutes, which flows wonderfully into kpop and any other entertainment industry requiring performative narcissism (or a denial of vulnerability and boundaries). it's quick to snort, meaning it can be easily done backstage or between shifts or whatever, but if a bunch of people are doing it a large quantity, it's not going to be neat, and cleaning up a bunch of residue would be enough of a bitch to gossip about. the reason why people use glass tables in 70s movies like scarface is just that–smooth surface, easy to corral into lines and easy to clean up.

speed is way more common in east asia, but it can also be snorted like cocaine. (if you don't want that yoochun aesthetic) i can see a less knowledgable passerby not being able to tell the difference.

I just wonder if the company provides them prostitutes and if so, how none of them still hasn't spoken of it. Or their ex-gfs, let's say. How much money do they pay them to stay silent?
Maybe the hookers stay silent for the money and them becoming regular "workers". But as for their ex-es, wouldn't there be at least one becoming over-jealous and trying to expose them? Just like what has happened with that SS501 guy although the chick was obviously nuts.
And I'm sure BTS are shielded by both company and the government because they bring much money.

Because this single is a Minju push and she can't pull off a really jpoppy cutesy single like their last one (which really did sound like an 48/46g leftover). Instead they went for something more mature and very kpop. But she's also sort of a black hole of charisma so the ultra focus here isn't helping anything. Now keep in mind that she and the squeaky pedobait Wongyoung are the two main singers on the Japanese single (when neither of them can speak or sing I guess in good Japanese) and require a lot of autotune to sound passable. So basically bad production leaning into the worst kpop cliches in order to prop up a member that they want to be popular and plays to her strengths (which are admittedly few). and you end up with Buenos Aires. I guess OTR thought it was more important for them to push their Korean-made Walmart version of Tzuyu instead trying to put out a good song.

Exactly. Honestly for all of the people blaming Somi for leaving JYP, it's just as likely that he considered her too old to front the new group. Here's my speculation; He likes his center/visual girls to be as pedobait-y as he can get away with. He probably decided Yuna was his new golden child and dumped Somi. And after all, if he debuted the new group with Somi in it but not center, he'd get critique. Easier just to cut her loose.

>They really seethe a lot over her white genes…

No one is nitpicking WY for her appearance just the fact that at 13 when she won produce she is pedobait and her company leans into it. As for the Nct dude, anons have an almost Pavlovian reaction to them as a whole. Bring up that group and an anon will shit on them.

The woke complex with kpop agencies (which the Western media is abetting by representing BTS as LGBT kings and combating toxic masculinity, because k-physical sales and k-clickbait are so lucrative) is so transparently about transforming the image of the k-industry away from its former perception here as a corrupt slave shop. This is why you see Seungri/YG fans flinging the TERF shit everywhere to shut people up.

With the blackface thing they removed the video in question in a matter of a couple of hours, released an apology and apologised in concert the next day too.
I doubt any company would want the negative attention if they knew about racist issues or gave a shit about it.

i'm the person you're replying to, and i have to be honest that i don't listen to or watch BTS much, but from what i've seen from other people when they're discussing them they often put j-hope at the bottom of the three. idk maybe it's because he doesn't have the TT depressing-fag backstory/"cuteness" like suga or the leader-like/"swag" personality of ratmon so he's just passed off? i've also heard from a minority of people that he seems to be the most well-rounded one out of the group but it often gets buried in favor of other members.

Honestly j-hope has more stage presence and more energy than your average kpop idol. But his face is so botched he cannot really be watched in motion anymore or even in pictures. If he didn't botch his face and he kept his original look he would be much more popular because he wasn't bad looking and he can dance which is important for an idol group. Jin is hopeless, he has nothing, no stage presence, no energy, no charisma, no dancing skill, no singing voice, no acting skill. And while he is hyped up as the visual because apparently he has facial features that are considered beautiful in korea he is just fugly that's why he didn't even get popular for his looks in Korea because he is just plain out ugly.

I agree with you about his stage presence. But in my opinion, him touching his face up and botching it isn't the reason he was not as popular and won't contribute to his popularity. The "original" face he had predebut seems okay for 'normal people standards' but he is ugly in korean "idol" standards so I doubt he'll be popular without doing any ps like you claim he'll be. He was called the visual hole of bts since way back and was nicknamed "horsey".

But literally all of bts is a visual hole and none of them have idol visuals and yea all of them get under the knife sooner or later but he literally entered park bom territory pre-debut, his plastic surgery is so obvious it can even be easily spotted by someone that has no idea how plastic surgery works or looks like and that's why he is not getting that many fans because kpop stans are retarded and like to claim their idols are completely natural~~ and it was just puberty~~~~ but in J-hope's case it's all so obvious they cannot really pull this card anymore. And we all know how kpop stans are extremely mentally ill people that expect their "idols" to be perfect human beings that don't do human shit or make mistakes and are completely natural and pure so they tend to not gravitate towards idols that are already visibly botched but if the idol they already stan gets botched afterwards, after they start stanning them they'll just find an excuse for it.

The main problem with BTS vocals is that they (are forced to) sing in a much higher key than what their voices are capable of, they're always in their head voice (and V really sounds as if he cannot breath through his nose).

Vid related, he sing just jokingly, but it still sounds better because it's in a lower key. Seems to be much more comfortable and easier for him than always trying to reach those whiny, high notes.
But I guess sounding like a normal adult man doesn't fit their uwu baby boi concept.

Suga tries too hard to sound "unique" and it's annoying. But AOA's Jimin definitely has the worst voice, I prefer Twice's not singing over anything that comes out of her mouth.

I don't like them either but they are still definitely very popular, or at least Irene is. An acquaintance of mine went to Seoul a few months ago and saw Irene's face practically everywhere endorsing products. They're in huge demand and get paid top dollar for attending university festivals and such, which only artists with public popularity get invited to. Red Velvet aren't flopping no matter how much we all hated RBB.


>international kpop fans don't seem to care that much

International fans support flops like CLC out of pity and never actually buy their albums. International fans also call the likes of Nuest and BTOB flops when Nuest members are probably more relevant as individuals than half of BTS in Korea.

In the eyes of kpop stans "He/she hit a high note!" is enough to make one a good vocalist. They're obsessed with singing as high as possible. Ratmys say that saying this is racist, but male idols really are very feminized, even down to the way they're told to sing.

Not trying to wk, but to me V looks like he simply grew up a lot since debut. At the beginning he was extremely lanky and like many teens still hadn't grown into his features (like his nose, ears etc looked too big for his face). Now his jaw became wider - which is the opposite of what they consider attractive, so I highly doubt that a kpop idol would get ps to achieve that.

Not sure if SM bought half the credit for her lol or if she actually wrote the song, but if she did then she'd better off as a songwriter & composer than an idol.

The thing is, especially with ther agency going down at the moment and also her switching agencies because it is rumored she just simply wanted to go solo, she would have to absolutely shine with her debut, so people would forget the agency and be convinced it was a good decision to not debut in a group.

Of course it's natural to fight once in a while, but the younger ones likely have to hold back their opinions quite often, because they know exactly what's bound to happen if they dare to speak up.

Lol idk about other countries but it seems like young Koreans tend to have a go hard or go home mindset when it comes to trends. Now I see them alternate between two extremes- either super pale makeup , doing whitening and all, or more recently going very dark and doing what's considered blackfishing (or even blackface) in the us. Of course that's not everyone is doing it just those who are into heavily invested in social media.
Although I love people not giving a fuck about their natural skin color I'm honestly scared that this will become the new trend over there soon.

Ratmon is darker than the rest of his members, there’s a very old video from shortly after their debut where they’re playing an insult game and jimin tells him “you look like a maori clan chief”. he’s shitty for saying that stuff about V and jhope but he’s been the target of skin tone based insults before, korean colorism is fucked up.

of course jimin gets treated like the uwu baby boy by the fandom where rapmons comments about V and jhope resulted in a troll fan on twitter tweeting the venue about having a gun and getting a concert ended early because they thought it was a real threat.

imo Yeri wasn’t supposed to be part of the group cause there was a dance practice leaked of automatic with just the original 4 girls dancing. I think she was added because Sulli was leaving FX at the same and SM doesn’t seem to like having multiple groups with the same amount of members. Plus why would she be in the original line up when Irene is a whole ass decade older? She’s at least 3 or 4 years younger than the next youngest. When she debuted she stuck out especially cause she sucked so much compared to the other girls, I can’t imagine them debuting RV a year or two later for her to be prepared, she was thrown in as a cover.

>answer is always johnny and yuta

I agree with johnny but not yuta. He's the only j-member in the group and that comes in handy when they have activities in japan. However with johnny they already have mark who's american so I really can't see why johnny is there

This is also something that I don't get, it seems as if all members have been accused of having dark skin and at the same time made fun of another member for being dark-skinned at least once. Even Suga is tan. I always wonder, are the differences in skin tone more extreme irl than on camera? Because I can't see it.
Other groups usually really have some darker and some paler members (yet manage not to bully each other), but all of bts pretty much look the same.

Here's my crackpot theory, please go ahead and tell me how wrong it is:

I saw a few OT4 Red Velvet videos and they honestly were very boring on variety, plus they had a more "mature" image because of Be Natural (which was a bigger flop than RBB) and Irene's age.

I think SM needed to pander to younger fans a bit if they wanted RV to gain any fanbase at all; I mean, see how much Mamamoo with their mature image sells vs. how much Twice sells (SNSD also only switched concepts and tried to appeal to older women once they'd pandered enough to kids and men with Gee/Oh/Genie). I'm guessing they added Yeri to lower the group's average age, help the other members open up on variety shows, and give the kids a "relatable" member to project themselves onto.

Ah shit, here we go again… The Yuta whiteknights will never cease.

Fun Fact: Even though he debuted like yesterday, Jungwoo is already more popular than Yuta in Japan. His own country. Yuta is barely top 5 most popular there.
To make it extra fun, all of Winwin's lines in every nct song he had ever been featured in prior to wavy's latest comeback added up to one (1) minute of adlibs and autistic screeching yet he still somehow managed to be the most popular nct member in all of China by a landslide.

If you have to sperg about a Japanese Kpop boy, I recommend sperging about YutO from pentagon. At least he's not an eyesore from a dynasty-shattering mess of a boy group.

Not sure if that anon is a Jungwoofag or something but they're not correct. NCT aren't very popular in Japan and SM knows it, which is why all of NCT's Japanese promotions are timed to avoid the heavy hitting acts like Perfume or Nogizaka46.

If a female idol got on a drug scandal, dating scandal, get conceited or rude… she'll get tons of hate on top of losing her job despite working so hard to maintain a sickly weight, get perved on by uncles and getting molested or sold to protitution.

Meanwhile, male idols can get away with any shit they do and still get praised by obsessed fangirls… unless, of course, he cheated on them with another female (who's definitely going to be the whore who seduced their idol oppar)

Some people say he is due to his merch etc selling out quickly. What's the truth?

No. 36204

NCT isn't popular enough to get polls and threads on places like Girls Channel like Johnnys or actors do, so the best way to judge what little popularity they have is by looking at merch sales, like album covers. When it comes to NCT's album sales, the member who sells the most (meaning covers featuring him alone, it's popular to do a version for each member) is Yuta, then Taeyong after him.

NTA but Im confused how you are in any way refuting the point that anon was making. Even if the majority of Kfans are females, they're still internally misogynistic and direct more hatred to females for doing things male idols get to do with less or no repurcussions….Male idols never get as much vitriol and hatred towards them for dating or having sex with a female idol the way the females do. Hell, even APINK got death threats for dating and nobody did anything towards the males. Eunhyuk faced no hate for fucking IU and it practically ruined her career. Fans werent sending Big Bang death threats for dating women in Japan, yet those women had to shut down all their social media. Bom was destroyed for doing drugs while every single comment for the most part on the social media and news posts of all these men that are getting exposed for doing even WORSE drugs and worse activities are >IM SO SORRY OPPA WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS WE ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU HWAITING!!!!11

I think you are cherry picking examples. There are male idols who get hate and female idols who don't either. Things are much worse for edawn than for Hyuna for example.

Also criticism for dating is different than other types of criticism. Dating is really only something existing stans care about while other problems like drugs or whatever garner widespread attention. I don't think penispass is misogyny. The jealousy/wk phenomenon is non-gender specific happens on both sides.

anon way above called this completely: I read a soompi article about this because it popped on Reddit (swallows vomit) and it looks like she initiated an “ask me anything! Desu” q&a and then chose to respond to questions in a one-word, pessimistic way until she got the attention she craved for sounding depressed, before actually saying that she was depressed after her fans began assuming that was the case and white-knighting her “rudeness” (so east Asia it hurts).
she is definitely unwell, for which I can’t blame her at all, but she’s especially unwell because she acts out in a borderline way on social media for attention.
I hope she has friends or professionals to call instead of her delulu fan base, but I unfortunately doubt it.
obv SM would never condone this kind of depression sperg, especially post jonghyun—who was known for many, many public cries for help before he took his own life. the implications of her not being able to self-censor are pretty dark.

BPD is exhausting. It is 100% nurtured by childhood trauma, and so it’s definitely worthy of sympathy, but you can’t reason with somebody engaging in outrageously black and white thinking… so you can’t reason with them at all.

“Why don’t you come out with my friends and I tonight?”
-“I can’t!! Everyone hates me!”

taeyeon seems aggressive af sorry not sorry

i feel like there is something deep down that makes her abrasive to other people until she chooses to let them in, then once she does she becomes clingy af
some people with severe depression will push people away to the point where they end up alone because a normal person feels awkward and weird being turned away constantly or lashed out at, and it takes a certain kind of person to be able to handle that so her circle is probably immensely small, whereas the other girls have lots of friends both in and out of the industry
