Jimin Bar's Weibo Account Suspended For 60 Days

Are they being punished for past actions? That's ex post facto.

Edit: nevermind, it's an ongoing project.

this is lowkey fuck*ed up but it annoys me when fans buy expensive stuffs like Prada bag to people who are already rich I’m low key for the eat the rich movement

I ain't said about it. Who is next?

Btw, font colour for translation isn't visible on light themes, i had to "select all" to read it

No, I think the custom airplane was still delevoping, and for the fundraise, those methods were already banned since the milk scandal, I just think they are being more severe.

Yeah, I just checked. Jimin's birthday is on October 13. And the project is ongoing right now, so it's not ex post facto. I thought it had been back in April.

kinda extreme, but not really sad that solo's can't to this whole 'who has the biggest bday project' competition anymore.

Btw, curious if this rule gonna count for the expensive personal presents too or just the huge projects.

So there's something written on the thread post? I wanted to ask why everyone seemed to know what this was about when op only posted a twitter link.

To be fair, its not like it being in the past is something that would stop the ccp from doing what they want in anyway. Im more surprised its only a 60 day ban and not permanent.

When I first heard of this project I wanted Hybe to sue their ass. Because it was illegal deal between the bar and the plane owners. Jimin bar also hired a professional PR company for this deal. Sorry but I don't believe that both parties didn't earn money illegally using Jimin pictures.

And even tho I usually don't mind who spend they own money on what, but those bars do earn money on events/merch using the members image.

So I will be very happy if it will all get banned.

Can't honestly say I'm sad about this.

Also was this project selling tickets and merch with Jimin's face on it? So literally the airline and bar making a profit off of him?

Quote from poteto

And what I should do, serious question, because I see it.

Change font colour, light themes can only see links but not what's written

Yes. Sadly, the airplane nonsense is going as planned, a 60 days ban won't affect it

Me likey

I kinda understand why China's doing this. I think wasting money on a birthday project is kinda out there.

I just wonder what's gonna happen to the other bars out there. If they do the same thing they'll get the same treatment right?

Quote from poteto

I think so, they aren't going easy with their own stars either.

I didn't know China was cracking down on their own stars. That seems counterproductive, but then again maybe they want the bad guys out of their country.

This is dividing me

Shit they are crazy

i have always disliked the solo bars dick measuring contest when it comes to idol birthdays but it still is wrong for them to be shut down by the government. If it's money raised legitimately, they should be free to do stupid shit with it if they want

Their own stars were the trigger for the ban. K-pop suffered collateral damage.

Good, ban more. These illegitimate sales are ending. Sales manipulation from China is ending. Your faves will be beyond fine and massively successful regardless.

You need to start preparing a new excuse for the next time cause you can't use the fundraising one anymore

people should be allowed to spend money however they want, it's so weird so many of you are against censorship like this just because you want this or that fav to sell more than fill in the blank group.

couldn't care less to be honest.

bts' solo bars don't support album or digital sales that much.

Since when isn't K-pop all about K-pop? I doubt K-pop fans actually care about real world issues. They're only used as a weapon.

Chinese totalitarianism is a real problem, but I don't think a K-pop forum is the right place to discuss about it.

Probably can't sue, or attempting to sue would cause more harm than good. Plus why would hybe care to sue? A major airline having their idols image on a plane is a massive boost for them both in recognition and financially.

Secondly it would be a slippery slope on if they could sue, because a airplane to the corporation is a personal vehicle, just like your car is your car, if you wanted to name your Car Jungkook and literally paint him on it, there's nothing they could do about it. No court or judge could tell you to remove your paint job, now if it was something offensive then yes then you can be sued for libel etc

Didn't know what's that airplane project, but does suspension of a c-bar stop the project itself? Looking at comments here it seems like not, then what's the point? I mean, since c-bar got what they planned to do perfectly done anyway. But it's interesting tho, cause ever since news about fan culture restrictions in China started I've been wondering what will happen with idols' bars and will they be able to do all those support, birthdays, etc projects and bulk-buying of albums.

Quote from TheBotter

Yeah I saw knets reacting to the plane earlier this week and I will say, it's a lovely livery...but c'mon do they think Jimin realistically cares or not?

Well, Jimin recently said that he liked fans' song project for him, I am pretty sure such things do encourage fans to do projects to be noticed by idol. Or things like when ppl saw Kook's face when his ad made by fans was shown on some music award show and he saw it - these things surely would boost fans' ego and make them and their doings feel validated.
