old, but hilarious milk. someone in the previous thread mentioned tao throwing a public fit when kris left the group, back in 2014.
he literally acted like a 12 year old who just got dumped by their online boyfriend of three days. honestly, kpop idols having to share their formative years with a tiny group of people seems unhealthy as fuck. i wonder how many toxic and clingy friendships there are.
the following is from an allkpop article about his sperging:
When he started to see the feedback he was getting on Instagram as well as Weibo with fans speculating that someone else had written the message, his Weibo was updated again with a message that stated, "I am EXO member Tao. The things said on Weibo and Instagram are by me. I have nothing to hide." He also posted messages along the lines about the truth surfacing sooner or later, further leaving fans to wonder about the truth of the situation.
this is almost as good as t-ara being slammed for "bullying" one of their members, by subtweeting her and making mean posts about her online. kek.

>>337001i think until their first contract ends and one of the members decide not to renew it because of many reasons.
But they might decide to stick with YG and blackpink because being in a shit-but-bigNknown-company is better then fading into nothingness if you don't already have something going on like being a good or loved actor like d.o from exo.
also the fans and public could turn against the ex-member and start blaming her for "Ending Blackpink" or calling her a snake if blackpink disbands or is doing bad.

>>337196To support my argument:
https://www.soompi.com/article/970499wpp/nuest-members-open-decided-appear-produce-101-season-2The members of NU’EST recently explained why they are appearing on “Produce 101 Season 2,” despite being a group that made their debut in 2012.
The first episode of Mnet’s survival boy band show aired on April 7 and showed the 101 trainees getting their first rankings. The second half of the episode featured an appearance by Kang Dong Ho (Baekho), Kim Jong Hyun (JR), Choi Min Gi (Ren), and Hwang Min Hyun (Minhyun), all members of boy band NU’EST.
The members stated that they knew that many considered them a failed boy band, and added, “We’re thinking of this as our last chance. We’re here because we’re that desperate.”
Kang Dong Ho shed tears as he confessed, “There are two people from our agency [Pledis Entertainment] who became members of I.O.I. I want to be like them. I want to be like the people who became members of I.O.I and SEVENTEEN.”
Seeing them appear on stage for their evaluation, trainer Kahi couldn’t help but cry as she said, “I used to be a trainee with them, and I feel so bad seeing them up there.” Kim Jong Hyun also revealed that after his first glance at Kahi, he couldn’t look her way any longer because he felt like he was going to start crying as well.

>However, one fan left a comment on her Instagram selfie saying that SoMi looked great and that it was styling and looks that JYP wasn’t capable of delivering to fans. Other fans naturally took this comment as throwing shade at SoMi’s former agency. But the problem began when SoMi liked the comment, causing some critical fans to turn their attention towards the K-Pop idol.
>Fans have been wondering whether she liked the comment because she was complimented on her looks or because the comment was taking a shot at JYP Entertainment.
What do you guys think? This is such an arrogant move cause whether she wants to admit it or not, JYP was the one who debuted her. She could have stayed quiet til things are peaceful enough for her to say anything at all. Why do so many artists act like this now? Like with the Hyuna's case or Coco's case (a nugu artist).

>>337303i think it's extremely arrogant. jyp were the ones who made her and taught her everything she knew. the company gave her so many opportunities and benefits. i think not having her in a group was a good move on their part too, as it would have been the somi show lol. i'm pretty sure they were alright with letting her go because she had made back the money they invested in her? i'm really curious to see how she gets promoted once she debuts.

>>337421>>337415uhhh what? Pristin's stylists did the exact opposite. Kyla always got verrrry flattering outfits for someone her size. So much so that most people didn't notice that she was bigger until it blew up in the media when they finally forgot to cover her barrel gut at one point.
Besides that, she's always got her flabbiest bits covered up. The stylists rarely ever put her in shorter than 3/4 sleeves, but typically still keep her legs uncovered so she won't stick out too bad from the rest of the girls.
Look at literally any one of their MVs - Kyla gets the most flattering outfit that shows the least skin every time. And it's not like they sacrifice style for her.
I mean, just imagine her in any of the other girls' outfits? She would look much, much bigger in the kind of skimpy clothes the rest of the group often wears.

GFriend's "synchronized choreo" doesn't really indicate dancing skill - when I was forced into going for group dance contests as a kid I managed to stay in sync with the better dancers, which made me look like a good dancer by association.

It's just what kpop companies do these days, I mean which kpop group even bothers to learn japanese before debuting there? Kpop has established itself as a niche everywhere and besides a few mainstream one-hits will remain that way. Tutoring your idols in different languages is just a waste of resources for companies at this point. Besides, the majority of the paying fans of these groups are koreaboos/asians themselves and them speaking a different language is part of the appeal.

>>337948Who's going to tell armpits that though, they're still labouring under the delusion that BTS will become the next Drake releasing Korean songs.
If BTS want to be mainstream artists relevant to the American general public, they're gonna have to suck it up and release Konglish songs and learn the language, or accept that they're gonna be a big fish in the small pond of Kpop niche.

No. 337961

But nah, I actually think BTS is the most mainstream kpop is ever gonna get. And I believe they and their team know this. Don't know if I would say they already peaked, but no matter how popular they'll get, that'll be the height of hallyu in non-asian countries for a long, long while.
We had stars like BoA, Rain or the Wondergirls attempt it with learning english, promoting in a western style but it just didn't click, especially not for the time in the early 2000s. There was nothing that was setting them apart from their western, more popular contemporaries so they flopped. There was no power vacuum like we had it with the disbandment of 1D. BTS was familiar enough for a lot of ex-fans to migrate to their fandom, but different enough to be exciting for news outlets to write about them and create more critical acclaim than 1D ever had. It's really interesting how everything came together.

>>337948not saying they have to completely drop their korean releases, i just find it very lazy that they want to be recognized in america so bad yet don't show any effort to learn the language. would tutoring them really be that big of a waste of money and time? foreign idols learn korean, a lot of people with lower opportunities learn english, they can do it as well. maybe they just owned up to this being as big as they are going to get like you said, but iirc bighit said they are going to try to promote their new boy group internationally or something like that

>Are you 12?Yes
I agree with you though. Kpop is just going to be another niche like anime or indie films. English-speaking acts like Little Mix can't quite break into the American market, One Direction was the big exception that proves the rule.
BTS knows that their success was like lightning in a bottle, they just got incredibly lucky. The sheer volume of content they put on English-language sites definitely helped them gain their international fanbase; nobody would care if they put their vlogs and updates on Naver or Melon instead of Twitter/Youtube. They must have felt more "accessible" and "real" in a way that 1D didn't.
No. 337974
>>337964Oh it's for sure lazy. Or… if I may put on my tin foil hat for a second here, maybe it's deliberate to keep them in check? Western pop stars have a LOT more leeway with their management and fans, from partying to relationships to just voicing their opinions. I'd reckon it'd be a lot harder to get sucked into the Hollywood-lifestyle if you don't speak the language and also don't understand the culture around it, so maybe this is an attempt to hold their image together as much as possible. LOL idk, they won't be able to do the same shit with their new group thought because it's an entirely different scenario. I wouldn't be shocked if they actually have foreign members in there.
>>337965BTS was even more accessible to the average kpop fan at the time; I don't recall any group doing something like this ever before. Companies like SM were VERY uptight about their idols, and they still are, but even they are starting to understand that kids these days want to feel like they know their oppas, the old-school haughty mysterious idol persona doesn't fly anymore. They opened up 3 fucking youtube channels for NCT ffs LOL

>>337965>>337974if i had to credit bts for popularising something and changing the way kpop idols work it be their social media and video presence. they were uploading short youtube videos of them just interacting and post video diary things since before they even debuted, and that was before v live was around. it's how i found them in 2014 and it's got to be the same for a lot of other people. it meant they got the fandom of a boyband and of youtubers.
the old school variety shows are pretty much dead now and you can see new groups typically being really stiff on air compared to groups from the 2nd gen. variety shows now are just groups doing their own dances at different speeds and then doing other groups dances, i think if bts hadn't gotten so popular off of online videos then 3rd gen groups would've had to get better at variety tv shows instead of v lives.
No. 337984
>>337974Kpop groups are generally more open with fansigns/fan meetings and such, but that costs lots of money and is restricted to Korean speakers. BTS was the first group to make themselves accessible for free via social media, which helped them gain a fanbase that'd buy albums.
>>337982Which is sad, I really loved seeing idols from different groups interact and shoot the shit together. And those shows were seen by the general public which meant idols had a chance of appealing to an audience beyond Kpop listeners. Now all groups pretty much live in their own bubbles.

"Microdots whereabouts remain unclear and rumors that the rapper is on the run have gained momentum after a media outlet reported that his house is now mysteriously empty.
On the December 11 broadcast of SBS’ “E-news Exclusive,” different stories about celebrities, their families, and long-hidden debts were the focus of the show.
Since Microdot’s parents were exposed for fraud, A growing number of entertainers have been mired in controversy due to their parents’ long-hidden and unpaid for debts and schemes. Unlike some of the celebrities like involved like Dok2, Ma Dong-seok, and former SNSD member Tiffany, when the scandal involving his parents became public late last month, Microdot essentially disappeared.
In addition to stepping down from all of his entertainment programs, he reportedly moved out of his home at an unknown date. One of his neighbors spoke to SBS and said that they heard him moving and that he left sometime at night. A real estate agent confirmed the speculation that he moved out. “The house was sold,” said a real estate official in the area where Microdot lived. Now another person resides at the residence.
In addition to Microdot, his older brother, Sanchez and both of his parents have notably been absent as well. The family’s disappearance comes after they assured authorities and media that they would cooperate with the police investigation and had not “intention of hiding or escaping.”
Last month, police asked INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organization) for assistance in detaining Microdots parents, who currently live in New Zealand. However, under current law, they were only able to prevent them from escaping outside of New Zealand but cannot forcibly repatriate them.
The prosecution and police also announced on November 29 that they are considering the process of requesting their extradition. However, it is expected that it will take a long time for that to take place due to bureaucratic red tape process.
If they do decide to pursue this option, they will have to go through and wait for a decision by the Korean Ministry of Justice, the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the New Zealand court, and the New Zealand police. “Even if the repatriation is decided, it will take more than two years,” said a police official."

>>338339You're right, but in terms of digitals T-ara were monsters. The general public probably wouldn't give a fuck about their charisma as long as they had good songs (see: Jennie and Blackpink). Jiyeon used to get a lot of media attention for looking like Kim Tae Hee - she used to beat Yoona on those dumb polls of "best visual" whatever - and Eunjung was a rising actress.
My point is they definitely had potential, and if they'd started promoting in China as a scandal-free group they'd definitely have a huge Chinese and Korean fandom to rival SNSD and KARA in Japan. But anyway it's pointless to speculate because T-ara is a fulltime Mandopop group now and their name is dirt in Korea.
Also interestingly Soyeon was a couple months away from debuting as SNSD's leader and main vocal - it's nice that she became successful as a T-ara member even if it was shortlived.

>>338656idk about that.. It just seems to me that they are just riding off the whole trend of the latin/mediterranian/arabic aesthetic.
Eric Nam(potion), DPR Live(playlist), Super Junior(lo siento) and Mamamoo (egoistic).
Each of the examples I listed draws from different cultures in their visuals but the uniting factors are the warm tones/bright colors/flowy outfits/detailed patterns etc. So their concepts are largely trend-driven.
I like the way Gidle does it the best because it does have a more femme fatale vibe to it. This trend will die just like tropical house in kpop so its whatever.
No. 338664
>>338661Point taken, but the point with the next GD thing is being a one-man engima: stage prescence+composition skills.
B.I was the first to be pushed as so. He went on SMTM3 w/Bobby before Mino(SMTM4) and YG really wanted to empahsis his producing skills before his debut. Now he brags about how much he makes in royalties. They never really pushed Bobby like that. Mino got similar attention because of his past with underground hip-hop and how close he is with Zico.
Jennie has no claim to the title since she has no songwriting or producing credits, just performance.
They are now doing this with Bang Yedam with the Treasure Box show because they keep pushing how he self-composes and played some of his songs on the show.

That's just wishful thinking on your part… CL is known for composing for 2ne1.
There is no evidence that Jennie has solo composition skills, and she was never really teased as such. Its not a detriment to her though.
YG pays special attention to Jennie for sure, thats why she gets her solo first, the lazy jennie video was struck down, jennie commenting on how YG personally picked out her outfits for 'SOLO', her predebut song with GD and it goes on. BP was built around Jennie.
The only member in BP who would realistically be able to self-compose is Rose. If each member actually does get a solo gig I predict that hers will be a fully or party-composed acoustic piece.
No. 338677
>>338675Good point about the name-copy. With Blackpink I always though 1/2 of the members were "black" and the other "pink"
Black would be more femme fatale while pink would be more upbeat? Here is how I initially categorized it; Black (Jisoo/vocal, Jennie/rap) Pink (Rose/vocal, Lisa/rap)
but like theres nothing to support that. I think of the big 3 RV has the best and most clear concept but I cant shake the fx thing…
Also I think adding Yeri wasnt the best choice for RV. Overall they just feel odd but im getting off-topic from YG stuff sorry
No. 338678
>>338676Oh no I'm not saying that Jennie is Mozart. There's just a huge difference in how he treats his male and female trainees. BI once mentioned that the male trainees were encouraged to learn how to compose songs, and I just don't think the female trainees were granted that same privilege.
CL is the exception, and anyway now YG is holding her back from releasing her music because he doesn't favour her anymore. As much as Rose wants to compose I don't think YG will even let her have a go at it simply because she's not Jennie
No. 338679
>>338677I actually can't tell the difference between their Black and Pink sides musically - I thought Stay, Whistle, PWF were Pink side songs (aka not swaggy club bangers) but apparently it's just AIIYL? With Red Velvet there's a clear difference.
If they want to present both Black and Pink in one song, Teddy's not doing a very good job at differentiating the two.
No. 338680
>>338678CL cant be the exception considering the ratio of female to male acts in YG. Calling CL an exception is just trying to make your argument easier. I'm not inherently disagreeing with your main point: YG's misogynistic behavior and favoritism. Im just pointing out specifics.
Rose did compose an acoustice piece for a cover performance for BP's Japan concert earlier this year. Here is her hinting at it on IG:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BlIX7azBAiu/Here is a clip of performance:

>>338679I dont think BPs concept is the same in practice as it is in name with Red Velvet.
Red Velvets concept is the stark visual and sound contrasts between their title tracks.
Blackpink only really contrasts in name. I think its really meant to showcase how the girls can be femme and badass but in no contrasting way, but rather a blend. Maybe its like their concepte is more sour-patch kids?

What I'm really sick of is idols and guns, they look so fucking childish all the time. And if they don't have a literal gun they are doing that weird shotgun movement with their hands lol stop it!!

>>338795>>338796>>338793omg yesss, finally someone else has noticed this phenomenon.
i met a kpop group at a meet & greet about ten years ago, the biggest impression they made on me was how huge their heads were relative to their bodies, we were allowed to hug them since this was in north america, and seeing them super up close with the gravity-defying layers of makeup and hair styles made them look like real-life Bratz dolls at best or actual aliens at worst (with the surgically-enhanced v shape chins and optical illusions of gigantic eyes from double eyelid tape/surgery, contact lenses combined with heavy eye makeup & eye lash extensions), their tiny neck area with protruding collarbones and stick-like legs holding up the huge head illusion is surreal up close in real life.
The other thing I noticed was the impressive amount of acne that's successfully hidden under the makeup on camera. It was very noticeable in person but I've never seen a picture of a kpop star with visible acne issues online.
No wonder these people get body dysphoria after growing up in the business and never looking natural a day in their life

>>338817When I was new to kpop I was always confused why they were so obsessed with head sizes.. Now I always see it and it's so fucking funny to me somehow. It's even worse because a lot of idols are so skelly so they look like walking lollipops

>>338822Yeah this is close to what I remember their makeup looking like, as if they covered their face in baby powder to hide the pimples. Although given that this is a press picture, it's still at least somewhat flattering.
>>338823Wonder Girls and JYP (during Jonas Brothers US-Canada 2009 tour). The girls were actually really sweet and patient with the fans.
The event had nothing to do with JYP, but he could never leave WG's side for a second and was always trying to insert himself as the center of attention, to the point where he actually kissed some thirsty fan girl who was harassing him during the meet & greet. Like to be fair, she was a big JY stan in the community and I think she was over 18… (hopefully), I also think he was single at the time but who knows. I was a teen back then and most of the fans were probably also teens so I thought it was kinda unprofessional tbh but whatever he clearly has no shame.
That being said, he looked normal and proportionate next to westerners given that he's a giant next to other Koreans.

As far as I know Korea is the tallest asian country, many young men there are tall, so no idea why there are so many twinks in the idol industry. Is it the same as in AKB and Johnny's in Japan? That they purposely choose the "sm0l" ones?

Also YG doesn't understand that just speaking English is not enough - the moment Lisa raps something like "bitch I'm a star no Patrick" Blackpink is going to get laughed out of performances, if they get any attention at all.
>>Twice was going to promote in the US tooMost likely they'll just do concerts, like Red Velvet.

Nowadays she either looks tired, bored or straight up terrified on stage. She's simply not a gifted singer or dancer and a black hole of charisma so when she's not putting 100% into it it's.. bad.
I do think she enjoys the modeling/brand ambassador aspect of being an idol though, YG should've just promoted her as some kind of ~it girl~. I remember watching her and I think Jisoo on Running Man and being shocked at how meek her demeanor was. She's simply not a tough girl.

This reminded me of earlier on in the threads were anon posted about the Jungkook self harm rumour, coming out at the same time they wanted to disband.

This Jenrene stuff benefitted Jennie the most; I remember seeing Irene tell a fan that she hadn't taken any pictures with Jennie. Fans saw the tweet and were all "omg Irene and Jennie take a picture together!" And lo and behold, a week later they're exchanging choreography and Jennie posted a video of Irene hugging her.

the only thing i really wonder about is if it's going to be an exo situation where members leave one at a time, or if it'll be a tvxq and the group will split in two. luhan, tao (and lay?) were going to leave eventually, that was obvious after kris went. yoochun and jaejoong were the obvious ones to leave tvxq, the only shock was junsu since he was primed as sm's golden boy and the male boa since he was a trainee. suga and jungkook exodus when?

rat, horse and jimincel would probably stick around the longest because they're the uggos who should know they're nothing without the more ~*visual*~ members present.

So they're being over worked to make alot of shitty songs, alot extra content to make up for the shitty songs and they probably know they're Western popularity isn't genuine and they're seen as nothing more than a foreign novelty.
To top it all off, I imagine whatever dirt dispatch has on them is probably weighing on them too because once they lose too much public favor it'll come out.

I do remember, however, some weird ass SHINee fanfic where (I think) Jonghyun and Key were fucking hardcore and at the end we find out Jonghyun's schizophrenic and Key never existed.
And my friend in highschool made me read some GD x TOP fanfic where they're like 8 years old and jerking it in a bathroom and when I told her that that's some fucked up shit she started whining about how it doesn't matter since none of it's real.

She sounds pretty fluent though.

Is it possible that she would fake being less fluent in English than she is when in SK?

>>339655>>339653Sunmi's vocals had a lot of potential when she was a teenager, here's a video when she's 14-15 singing on par with Sunye and YeEun who are 17-18. None of them had groundbreaking vocals at the time but they also weren't incompetent singers by any stretch.
>Sorry for the ancient blurry video, Sunmi sings first verse on the far left, Sunye is center and YeEun is on the right. You can also briefly see Hyuna sitting down in front of them.To be fair Wonder Girls did sing live during all their performances, even their debut. The other day MBC uploaded the WG video from their ~kpop history~ series and I was genuinely surprised to see a Kpop group performing their main stages without ANY MR/backing vocals. That's probably non-existent nowadays.
The problem with how Sunmi's vocals evolved is a bigger overall problem in JYP with female singers. He composed their tracks and coached them to have cute/high-pitched/nasally vocals even when it strained their voice and didn't complement them at all. He also choreographed their songs and wanted their dance moves to be as simple and catchy as possible. YeEun butted heads with JYP a lot due to the fact they were never able to experiment with more powerful concepts or have any creative control until much later in their careers.
YeEun left the company because JYP sees an "artist" and "idol" to be two different things. That's why she doesn't perform on music shows to promote her indie singles, because stages are an "idol" thing. The same thing happened with Twice and Minyoung in sixteen. She would have been the most skilled vocalist in twice but JYP shamed her for being too "artist"-like and kicked her out at the last second. Twice also follows the cute/simple/catchy song & dance pattern, their vocals are infamously horrendous and get more squeaky with every release.
>tl;dr Sunmi was trained out of giving a shit about vocal talent, despite singing live in her youth, she doesn't give af about lipsynching now because that's what all idols do. YeEun will never get the fame she deserves because her musical talent makes her not an idol. No. 339706
>>339697JYP had the nerve to shit on Shannon Williams' singing when Twice sound like this:

part of why it was so big was because it wasn’t pushed hard all of the time, other tvxq ships were pushed harder in the beginning, yunjae just stayed popular. there’s still fans who would swear that yunho and jaejoong are together, despite them only having one public meeting in the last 9 years. shippers analyse videos to say they heard the other one laugh in the background, say they share clothing, try to match up timelines, everything. but companies like ships, as long as fans still bulk buy for their faves. ships like yunjae and taeny are beneficial for whichever one is least popular at the time

The way the NCT system is set up is probably meant to mirror that, except where SM fails is not giving other members not named Mark and Taeyong any opportunities to gather individual fans, plus the "OT18" nonsense is still encouraged when ideally an NCT fan shouldn't have to give a fuck about anyone else if her bias is Taeyong.

And years ago when I was an EXO fan, I remember an incident where a Korean fan had printed out a Baekhyun/Chanyeol fanfic and presented it to Chanyeol at a fanmeet, asking him if he read fanfics with himself and if he liked any.

But they seem very out of touch with the Korean public, usually these types of groups are loved throughout the nation, even older generations became familiar with most of the best selling groups.

>>341370She clearly wanted to leave CUBE in order to get a contract where she had more control or benefits as a veteran artist. When you're already established, it's easier to leverage your popularity and negotiate with different companies for contract length, creative control, percentage of income derived from music sales and CFs/brand deals, sometimes their contract entitles them to stocks in the company (so they are invested or own a small portion of the company), sometimes they sit on a board of directors or have other executive roles behind the scenes. These types of negotiated contracts are only for veteran artists that companies want to retain or pick up after their original idol contract expired. In Hyuna's case, there was lots of speculation as to what Cube offered for her to stay after dismissing the rest of 4minutes members. But whatever it was, it wasn't enough for the long term and she clearly realized she made a mistake.
I think people forget that Hyuna is still close to her old WG members like Sunmi, she's actual best friends with YeEun. She witnessed the success they had going their own way with new companies. YeEun is very vocal and honest about her relationships with other idols. She's also generally critical of the idol industry which is why she was the first female artist signed under her current indie label and is into third-wave feminism. There's no way Hyuna isn't influenced by her best friend (they've actually said that they skip small talk and discuss personal issues together and will call each other in the middle of the night). I'm pretty sure making her relationship public and leaving the company for greener pastures was inspired by her friends.
Anyways, she's always been a very strong personality and rumors of her sexuality/dating have proliferated since she was literally 14 years old. She's always pushed the wild girl-crush concept even as a trainee and stated that she feels empowered by her sexuality many times throughout the years. Idk she's always been a sort of proto-feminist but now I think she takes her sense of agency seriously. Her music/image might be a bit more experimental under her new company, but i'm anticipating more of the same old Hyuna. All in all, she'll be fine.
>her sales were declining even before the dating became publicSales are non-existent for all female soloists. It's an industry-wide thing. The only exceptions would be BoA and Lee Hyori from the early 2000s but those were different times. To be fair, I Think Hyuna was actually the leading female solo idol for a few years. In any case, female idols are lucky if their singles do well in downloads, their physical sales never take off and there's no chance for concerts/tours.

>>341407She might be fine but what about her boyfriend and Pentagon?
Edawn might produce her songs and somehow make a living off of that but Pentagon except Hui is fucked. They haven't built a solid fandom yet, their album sales aren't getting any bigger, and new people probably won't join the Pentagon fandom because of this mess. I don't know if she anticipated that this would happen to them, but she's been in the idol industry for years now. Honestly it just felt very immature on her part, taking down the careers of other people because she wanted to "tell the truth" or whatever bullshit reason. All she had to do was lie low until promotions ended and those stupid sexual assault rumours would go away - they weren't even close to being actual allegations anyway. But she couldn't even do that. And now thanks to her, those Pentagon boys have lost whatever momentum they gathered from Shine.
Also she already had plenty of freedom under Cube image wise (she does like dressing sexy onstage even if the songs aren't to her taste), I don't see what more she could have gotten from them that they weren't already giving her. She overplayed her hand, thinking she was above the company, and it bit her in the ass plain and simple.

>>341498If this is true and I put my tinfoil hat on: Jennie helps with some songs but since YG just wants blackpink to a group of 4 pretty girls singing about having fun fun fun wile being dumb dumb dumb, he's trying to hide it.
Semms pretty fucking stupid and selfish though. Because whenever an idol "helps in the writing of songs", they're praised.
No. 341506
>>341498there’s honestly no reason for yg to claim no aren’t writing if they are. misogynist ceo isn’t going to change that getting to call them a self producing group would be beneficial. boygroups jumped hard on writing producing after bigbang got popular for it, see how tvxq were making their own material from about 2005 but barely any of it got released until 2008. having a member who at least writes lyrics is bordering on mandatory now, it isn’t enough to set them apart anymore when so many do it. compared to that, there’s still relatively few big girl groups who make their own songs other than a token acoustic guitar b-side - it’s rare enough that it’s something pretty notable, but within a couple of years that could change and it’ll just be another thing expected of them. ikon would be nowhere without a solid producer in them, having bp framed as so multitalented that they also write would take down one of the biggest criticisms of them which is that they’re just models who perform sometimes.
even a shithead of a ceo is going to see an easy way to make bank and realise nothing comes of downplaying their involvement in the music. honestly i think she might have just changed a line or two and thought the low bar for a co-writing credit would include that.

Also the styling and look of the MV reminds me so much of BTS's latest MVs and I hate it.

Gayoung from Stellar just came out and confirmed Stellar was whored out at least "visually" by their agency.
"On December 10, Insight met with the former Stellar member at her cafe in Seoul. Gayoung, who runs a cafe business following Stellar's disbandment, opened up about the hardships she faced during 7 years of Stellar promotions.
Gayoung said, "At the beginning of our debut, our concept was close to cute. We received a lot of attention because we were a group produced by Shinhwa's Eric." However, Stellar did not do well for 3-4 years. The group ultimately left Eric's agency and decided to release "Marionette" with a sexy concept.
The MV producers demanded a member to "weakly leak the milk while drinking it."
The member simply followed the directions but the scene was edited in a sexual format. Gayoung said, "I was very shocked. The member who drank the milk was 20 years old at the time. She couldn't drink white milk since then due to shock. She was hurt. We really did not know it was like that (during filming)."
Gayoung continued, "During 'Vibrato,' they demanded us to wear provocative clothing on the day of filming. We told them we absolutely cannot dance in that but they said, 'Just do it. Why are you complaining without even trying?' So after taking only 5 cuts, we said, 'See, it's too provocative.' But those photos went on the album.
Gayoung revealed, "When we told them, 'We don't want to do this,' they said, 'You better think of the contract with the agency.' At a young age, we were scared of that. We were afraid that we would have to pay the violation fee."
Stellar is a memory Gayoung wants to erase. She said, "I don't want to go back." To the people who dream of becoming an idol, Gayoung said, "If you are trying out of curiosity and because the idol world seems fabulous, I want to say don't do it. If it's your dream then work die hard for it. If you did work hard but it didn't turn out well, don't think of it as a 'failure.' Just find a path that suits you better."

>>341506Speaking of Ikon - Blinks were also using BI not being credited for BP's "Whistle" as an example of YG's oppression when BI himself said that all he did was suggest some chord changes, which isn't nearly enough to get a songwriting credit.
Also using BI as an example is just weird because he has writing credits for literally every Ikon song and can probably live off of Love Scenario's royalties alone for the next five years or so.
Misogyny is definitely rampant in YG but if Jennie had made some sort of meaningful contribution beyond suggesting a lyric here and there, YG would make sure to mediaplay it to the heavens about how talented his Chosen One is. This isn't adding up IMO

I saw the Shine MV the other day and got a bit sad, I really liked Pentagon and Edawn was an essential member; I even kind of liked his sickly look until he went 100% with it during Triple H last comeback.

The only thing I can congratulate Loona's company on doing is efficiently creating a hivemind mentality for their international fandom (theyre all over twitter), dedicated fans who'll go to every fanmeet, and drop money to meet people they'll never truly know.

>>343635this whole idol crying thing is so weird. on youtube there's ton of "[insert idol/group name] crying compilation" videos for almost any kpop idol…and it's literally just like five minutes of them crying either on variety shows, interviews, on stage, award shows, etc.
i get that it makes them seem more humble/vulnerable but it's so obvious that a lot of times they're just playing it up for the camera or just manipulating fans. especially male idols, they know their female fanbase is gonna eat up the whole "omg oppa is crying" bullshit

As far as I know Dara is way more popular in SEA countries than she was in Korea anyway. Isnt she back in the Phillipines where shes been trying to be an actress and model since forever ago? Even before 2ne1 she was known there and has been a cover girl on all of their magazines.

Dara got surgery when she joined 2ne1 too. Reading her bio it almost seems as if she was put in the group because she was desperate and had tried to make it in Korea before with no luck. So probably she gave off a vulnerable aura and YG took advantage. Wouldnt be surprised at all that he looked for girls who were down on their luck or didnt feel good about themselves to prey on.
Heres a link to source that has more pics/info on how she started out.

BTS fans spammed the fuck out of the Pitchfork readers' poll this year, going so far as to get them in the "best new artist" top 10 despite them being around for years. They weren't to be found on any of the official lists. The only way they ever get recognized is through fan voting. It's embarrassing and actually makes the group members themselves look stupid and desperate.

>>343891anon please, just please be smarter. it’s painfully obvious their “””beef””” is a gag. they’ve admitted to being very close and always cling to each other during award shows and the like. there’s also clingy doyoung demanding to sit on taeyong’s lap like a fucking middle school girl.
if you want a member who genuinely seems to dislike other members just look at yuta. while he obviously plays up his winwin fetish for the fangirls he seems really detached from most other members. group members who genuinely dislike each other would try detach themselves like yuta does with everyone except winwin rather than cling on to each other like taeyong and doyoung.

slightly ot, but is kpop still banned in china? last i checked they banned kpop and then copied the kpop idol group manufacturing process. the chinese tv show "idol producer", that aired in the beginning of 2018, is a rip-off of "produce 101". the fact that lay was the host of that program.. idk it makes the situation funnier somehow, even though it's much better than "produce 101".

there are blinks who are sick to death with her but i don’t think a lot of them dare to speak up about it in fear of backlash from assblasted jennie stans and virtue-signaling blinds. as with red velvet ot4 stans they seem to be in the minority though.
