the double standards are concerning
illit was only INVITED to some fashion week and they had kpop stans frothing to moan about hybe payola for the 5678543d5th time. but i just LOVE how we’ve all collectively forgotten how riize started getting brand deals even before their official debut lmfao. at least we followed the illit girls on a survival show. sm tactics and connections been going crazy for so damn long but yes let’s turn a blind eye to that. and while we’re at it, let’s not forget about yg and their mediaplay. really can’t separate the two
it just further drives my point about how all kpop stans come under the banner of collectively shitting on hybe. don’t get me wrong, i fuckin hate hybe too. but when you start shitting on a group (cough NewJeans cough) using this stupid payola ”drag”, it just gets me so annoyed. it’s like you all expect hybe to sit with their legs tucked under their ass all docile and do nothing about their groups lol. you clearly don’t know how this industry works 🤡🤡🤡
to end this thread on a lighter and sweeter note— TOMORROW X TOGETHER is making a much anticipated comeback this April. i have 1000 akorns (so far). I’m giving away akorns to anyone willing to stream their upcoming album. Please support and love these nugus!
