    The Singer who Spent her entire career undermining Kpop finally seems to have made the mistake of her life, bigger than Eunhyuk.


    There is no need to recount the current events in Middle East.


    Since Korean Pop is kinda away from this issue, I don't think any Kpop figures said anything about this issue.


    After the Tzuyu incident, it has become customary for KPop companies and acts to keep silent about issues which might become sensitive outside of Korea.


    But Lee Jieun posted something supporting her Arab fans, even though I do not recall her having anything to do with Middle East, during this sensitive time.


    Mere apologies won't cut since she is no nobody. I don't think this will end quietly.

  • The reasoning behind this thread is beyond useless, so....


    Heres a recipe for Caramel Brownies



    Ingredients

    BROWNIE

    200g / 7oz unsalted butter
    200g / 7oz dark chocolate / semi sweet chocolate chips (Note 1)
    1 cup brown sugar
    3 eggs , lightly whisked
    1 tsp vanilla extract (or essence)
    1/2 cup flour , plain/all purpose
    1/4 cup cocoa powder
    1/8 tsp salt

    SALTED CARAMEL

    395g / 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
    2 tbsp golden syrup or maple syrup (Note 2)
    60g / 2 oz unsalted butter
    1 tsp salt


    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (all oven types).

    Butter and line a 20cm / 8" square tin with parchment / baking paper.


    SALTED CARAMEL

    Place the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Stir occasionally for the first 1 minute. When it is heated (ie. when you see wisps of steam), whisk constantly (leisurely, not vigorously!) for 7 minutes, ensuring the base doesn't catch (Note 3). It should be a pale golden colour.

    Remove from stove and whisk for 30 seconds. Place lid on, set aside and keep warm.


    BROWNIES:

    Melt chocolate & butter: Place chocolate and butter in a bowl. Microwave in three 30 second bursts on high, stirring in between bursts, until melted and smooth.

    Add sugar, eggs, vanilla: Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and mix well to combine.

    Add dry ingredients: Sift in the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Mix until smooth and combined.

    Reserve some batter: Measure out 1/2 cup of brownie batter and set aside. Pour the remaining batter into the prepared tin.

    Pour over caramel: Pour the Salted Caramel over the brownie batter, getting as much coverage as you can (as you can't easily spread the caramel once poured). If caramel has cooled and is no longer pourable, reheat it on stove for 1 minute until runny again.

    Cover with reserved brownie batter: Dollop the reserved 1/2 cup of brownie batter randomly over the Salted Caramel. Use a knife or skewer to make “swirls” – they won't be so visible once baked, it's more about spreading brownie batter over the caramel.

    Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes (for very gooey brownie, as pictured) to 35 minutes (for very moist but not super-gooey).

    Cool: Leave to cool in pan for 10 minutes. Use surplus paper overhang to lift out onto a cooling rack. Cool for a further 20 minutes before slicing. Note: Caramel is a bit gooey when still warm but sets firmer once fully cooled, ie. it will cut through neatly.

  • Yes this thread needs to be deleted by mods now it serves zero purpose and op given a warning point. The artists post wasn't anything bad or in support of xyz during the conflict just stating their support for a group of fans that showed them love that's it. There's nothing wrong with her post. Wtf is wrong with people 🤡🤡🤡

  • This needs to be a thing. I want a new freaking recipe in everyone of his threads.

    Why would she do that when the whole world is watching? She could have ignored them just like in the past. The very fact that she decided to acknowledge them at this moment is not going to be seen as a good thing by the side which does not support its side

  • This needs to be a thing. I want a new freaking recipe in everyone of his threads.

    The fundamental policy of Kpop is not getting involved in politics, diplomacy, or power struggles, which became a norm after the Tzuyu incident.


    I have not seen any other KPop figure mentioning that region since this mess occurred.


    Justin Bieber got into trouble after supporting one side. Fortunately for KPop he is no longer associated with Hybe.


    She might have opened a big can of worms for KPop, but what to expect from someone who has never missed a chance to undermine KPop in the last 15 years.

  • I know you shit post a lot but this seems kinda racist dude. What has being an Arab fan of kpop got to do with a war going in a specific country? Are fans from countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, Iraq etc are all automatically problematic by association because they’re brown even though they’re not involved in the fighting and their interest is something totally unrelated to the war?

  • I put the ingredients in chatgpt and asked it to guess what recipe is this:

    **Ingredients:**
    


    For the Brownie Layer:
    

    - 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
    

    - 2 cups granulated sugar
    

    - 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    

    - 4 large eggs
    

    - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    

    - 1 cup all-purpose flour
    

    - 1/2 teaspoon salt
    


    For the Caramel Layer:
    

    - 1 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
    

    - 1/4 cup unsalted butter
    

    - 1/4 cup light corn syrup
    

    - 1/4 cup brown sugar
    

    - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    


    **Instructions:**
    


    **For the Brownie Layer:**
    


    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
    


    2. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the 1 cup of butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat.
    


    3. Stir in the granulated sugar and cocoa powder until well combined.
    


    4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
    


    5. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
    


    6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
    


    **For the Caramel Layer:**
    


    1. In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup of butter, corn syrup, and brown sugar.
    


    2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
    


    3. Remove from the heat and stir in the teaspoon of vanilla extract.
    


    4. Pour the caramel sauce over the brownie batter in the pan.
    


    **Baking:**
    


    1. Use a knife or a toothpick to swirl the caramel into the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
    


    2. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Be careful not to overbake; you want them to be fudgy.
    


    3. Allow the caramel brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least an hour. Then, refrigerate for a couple of hours to set the caramel.
    


    4. Once chilled, cut the brownies into squares. Serve and enjoy!
    


    These caramel brownies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth with their rich, fudgy brownie layer and gooey caramel topping.
