I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say here. That idols don't necessarily date, but are more likely to be promiscuous instead? Because that would be one loaded assumption.
Also, adults don't necessarily have active sex lives just because they're adults (and unfortunately, the reverse is also true for children.)
having sex doesn't mean one is promiscuous. Im saying that dating is pretty looks down upon so while idols might be worried about committing to being officially partners, they might instead prefer nothing or casual relationships. At least at the start of their careers

dating and fucking are different. I do believe many might to date for a while. However, I do think Idols are having sex from the beginning, at least the adults. Thats just common sense.

Two things can be true at the same time. I'm aware that JYPE fandoms roast JYPE on the regular, but the consensus opinion I've seen just from the average K-Pop fan, who may not be specifically be in a JYPE fandom, is that JYPE is the "good company" and JYP is the least problematic CEO. This isn't something I've seen once or twice in isolation but an opinion I've seen many, many times over several years; this isn't a tiny sample size or just a couple of personal anecdotes.
JYPE may indeed be a good company and JYP may be the least problematic. But in an industry that is rampant with abuse that is deemed "normal" and "necessary" that doesnt mean much. The fact remains, yes people have overly hyped JYPE for being good, but there have also been plenty of criticism of JYPE and its practices for years. But I agree, maybe this has broken that illusion for some but for some as well this has only confirmed what we have already seen from previous JYPE groups and indeed from groups around Kpop

Yes
International fans needed a wake up call. Several times throughout this year I've seen threads on other platforms praising JYP, the man and the company, for how well they take care of their artists' well-being compared to the other big labels. Well, in the worst way imaginable, all those people are forced to accept that JYP isn't an outlier in any way.
The only legitimate outlier I saw was OG ADOR, and that's gone for good. For now.
I guess the reason I'm confused is many JYPE fandoms have shit on JYPE constantly for mistreatment against the members of all their groups. I do agree that JYPE had a bit of a better rep but it wasnt untarnished. ,Maybe its just what you were seeing from company Stans which isn't really instructive of the whole.

I believe the absurdity is people trying to connect a comeback with a legal issue within the company. It's those idiots that bring out the idiocracy in others. This are separate things and issues.

They don't view their idols as people - not even Twice, the idols they claim to love more than anyone else.
If they truly loved Twice, they would've noticed what they have been struggling with things in the realm of eating disorders.
They would've declared solidarity - not just for Twice, but for every idol who has gone through this and still is.
why even watch Kpop? I would make the claim that most Kpop idols have some eating disorder at some point in their career. The industry as a whole promotes that style, the fans promote that style. Fans literally fat shame idols all the fucking time. It's not like the industry does this independently. If fans wanted bigger idols and supported that more then companies would push that. At some point fans have to look in a mirror and understand their own role in pushing this shit.

I know It, I meant some people like to pretend JYPE is different from the other big agencies just because they've been hiding a bit better.
Yeah, I mean JYPE might be better than some but being the best company in a predatory industry doesn't mean you are somehow ethical. Though I doubt JYPE is far from the best. maybe this will help improve some things though

It's easy for you to say this because you haven't been in her shoes, but sometimes people try to "toughen it out" or give people too many chances before coming to realization that enough is enough. She's just a young teenager who just started out in an industry completely new to her. I'm sure it takes time to truly process what's really happening, and that's not her fault.
As for her thanking people in the company, she can genuinely appreciate and respect specific individuals while shunning others. It's not mutually exclusive. Maybe J.Y. Park himself didn't subject her to abusive working conditions, but staff within the company did.
This is something even Jay Park has spoken up about. He and Jinyoung Park had a decent relationship and still have mutual respect for each other to this day, but Jay witnessed staff (the ones in charge of training trainees and idols) abusing trainees.
Apparently she even said she was thankful to JYP and the executives but even being generous and saying JYP doesn't know about all his managers do, as the CEO if you have kids basically self harming and hurting themselves in other ways. I don't really care if it's not at your personal direction, you gotta take responsibility.

Momo was a teenager and it may have been Momo's "idea" but a child would only develop that idea after being extremely pressured by adults to be extra skinny or made to feel like she had to be

This isn't really JYPE's true colors. It's just the Kpop industry. It has been shit for a long time. It was seemingly getting a bit better and maybe it has, but it's clear JYPE still does many of the toxic things that causes idols problems. They can maybe get away with it from Korean idols, at least somewhat, but western singers might not take that as much. Glad on KG for stepping up for herself and hopefully the other girls can get out of there
-
It's good but it has the same problem as many Twice tracks of the modern times, it's not that catchy. Maybe it'll come to me but it isn't that catchy yet
-
feel like I'm not the main audience for this so not a bop or flop just not for me. She sings well though and the video is cool

So what's the relation between Twice and Megan? How did this collaboration come about?
Mina and Megan are childhood friends. They were both born in San Antonio Texas. Megan is two years older and was an amazing older sister figure for Mina when they were growing up. Mina moved to Japan though and they lost touch, but they both happened to become superstars and reconnected. Thus we have this album as a reaffirmation of their long friendship.
