I doubt idol dating rumours will distract from this type of news for very long... If anything maybe Dispatch was prodded to release what they have, but idol dating news buzz - even for a big couple - only lasts days.

Wait - anything involving YG, silence???
Did you hatch this year?
I could argue that the real privilege comes from no accusations even surfacing. It's not like some idols come from elsewhere, they all grew up in the same toxic environments. Your faves don't get to be exceptions just because you personally wish it.
I think YG may benefit from reflected privilege for a while now though. Dispatch has probably been called off.

Big 2 now? People just make these Bigs up to suit themselves...

If he was going to waste any time on jealousy I expect he'd be more jealous of the popularity of the maknae line.

Oh my god this needs to be stopped its getting out of control
Well it's been explained why this is happening in the wake of the volleyball player scandal and Naver changing. It's a "speak now or forever hold your peace" deal.

The mv was more dynamic than the song. Not to say the song's bad, I like it, but I like it more when not watching the mv. It's just a bit mismatched with the more mellow vibe of the song.

This flood of accusations helps hide real bullies and abusers. If a few can be (and have been) proved innocent, most will then get away with it (if they have anything to get away with).
Like the ones I can see on twitter today would barely get traction except for outraged stans making it trend because they can't stop talking about their best boy or best girl.

Mina and Jimin were co-workers, they were on the same level professionally. I can understand a former victim not wanting a rich idol decked out in Cartier and Gucci strutting into their home. It's a big power imbalance.
Actually now I think of it, there's a risk that accusers who want to meet are just crazy stans who will pull anything to get face to face time with their ult. Taeyong jumped through multiple hoops and it didn't satisfy his informant - even though she was actually lying. So I'm not sure that helps.

Jennie had a similar "scandal" in pre-debut days so there's a minor possibility that could resurface, but they'd need a lot of proof and I don't think any proof was offered up the first time, so not likely.

damn Rose was really pretty
She was stunning. And she still is but I think it's a shame she's been getting increasingly westernized features.
-
It's just quick lazy content. But I'm sure stans would rather have that than nothing.

I feel like Itzy's music might improve once they drop the amateur lifecoach stuff, but that's just me.

You will get the occasional unicorn who is liked universally, but most populars in school are in cliques with the other populars and they emphasize their status by making sure everyone else knows where they land on the foodchain, especially the unpopulars.
Anyway most of these bullying incidents sound pretty normal for school - laughing at a bottle cap being flicked at someone, telling a kid at lunch that he eats too much, being jealous about another girl hanging out with handsome guys. The SJ one - if true - is more extreme, but a lot of kids are dicks at school but still manage to develop into decent adults. These incidents sound like a tame day when I was at school, and we didn't have a hyper competitive environment and parents expecting their kids to network upwards only. Last year I read an article about a Seoul mother who told her daughter she needed to slap lower status classmates so they would knew she was superior to them. It's on a different level there. We should remember that.

please dont get kai dragged
Can't really get Kai dragged, he is the one Gucci chose.
Anyway, Taehyung seems to choose to be in Celine more often than any other label for over a year now, but I get why his stans have no intention of calling him Celine boy, even though he's a long time Hedi Slimane fan. They hyped him more to Hedi over a play on his name on twitter years ago than now when he's constantly wearing his hoodies and t-shirts.

I'm a carat and I've read the original post and some tweets saying he's "innocent". I'm going to stay neutral until this is cleared up. If it happens to be true, I don't know what I'm gonna do, I'm so nervous right now
I saw he was getting the "best boy" treatment on twitter and freaked out a tiny bit.
But if it comes to it, loads of kids are little shits. Calling names and flicking a coke cap isn't enough to make me dislike someone years after the event.

This is just another "My faves lyrics are so meaningful" flex. Of course it's not really a flex because you're listening to K-Pop. This is an entirely online thing, I don't think even the bluest haired stan would dare talk about meaningful K-Pop lyrics in real life with a non stan - particularly if they can't even repeat them...
If you were all about deep meanings you'd be reading poetry and playing Leonard Cohen.
-
If nothing comes of it or even better she's proved innocent it could be a great thing for her. More people will know her, she'll have a higher profile. Don't be surprised if she's sitting higher in that dude's idol rankings in a few months.

I love these twitchy-arsed "I hate x, why doesn't everyone hate x like I do?" threads...
And you're a bit late discussing the last season. This season she had banter with a male candidate. Why don't you go and look it up, so that you can then pretend to be outraged on his behalf too? Fresh material!

If privilege didn't exist and it was all about talent, why would ALL prospective trainees be trying to get into Big3+BH ? If their talent was enough to carry them they wouldn't be trying so hard to get into the top companies.
Big3 companies - presumably Big Hit too - have no trainee debt, which is a huge thing for people without money. Some idols debut with smaller companies, work their guts out for years, and then leave having made almost nothing or even still in debt to their company.
I don't know SM and JYP much but I know that YG trainees get free training, free housing, subsidized cafeteria, and even an allowance. Also YG is generous in profit splits with the artists. Who wouldn't want that set up? It's why YG was still landing high profile trainees like a TXT sibling even at the height of their 2019 drama.
But that's not about privilege, it's how things should be. That's far too much exploitation at some smaller companies. Unfortunately that's where most poor trainees will end up because the Big 3 get clogged up with chaebol kids and other rich kids.

LMM by Hwasa made me bawl my eyes out. Not just randomly, it was a really sad time in my life, but that song turned on the waterworks.
