I did not read the new rules but if they kick me for this I will deadass just laugh, tbh. It'd be funny, in a really dystopian way, anyway. But I already got one foot out the door so they are welcome to ban me if they like, I'm sure once there's no one left to ban they will enjoy modding a empty house.

it's boring af. Annons was the most entertaining thing we've had on the site in ages and they got rid of it for whatever ridiculous reason. And on top of it, now I comeback and every time I click to a new page there is a STUPID pop-up asking to disable my ad-block or purchase their stupid premium. It's as if they are TRYING to drive people out from this site. I'm honestly in the process of moving to another forum, S00mpi probably.

I would prefer it if companies don't charge for training at all. But I get not all companies are as rich as SM, JYP, YG, or HYBE. Still, I feel like if you can't afford to train trainees or debut them you shouldn't be operating an idol business. There are tons of other business ventures out their you can try instead of building your wealth off the backs of young people with dreams that will cost them all that they have. Doesn't seem ethical.

For me at least Iz*one's music quality wasn't consistent, went from amazing highs (violeta, panorama, fiesta) to terrible lows (la vie en rose, secret story of the swan, their japanese releases), at least they ended on a high with panorama.
LSFM and IVE have been consistent with their releases but we'll see how they go next year, we've gotten 2-3 releases so it's a bit early to tell.
SSOTS I can understand, but not LVER being considered one of their lows.
As for op I like all 3 groups so ig my opinion is invalid.

I didn't even bother to read that article because I knew from the headline alone "there is no single victim in this situation" that dispatch was full of shit.
No matter what, we are talking about a single young girl against a whole ass company. No matter what, the power disparity is in the favor of that company, and the facts of the matter is that that company has been taking advantage of her wages which is doubly worse because of how hard idols have to work.
So what if she was being angry and not using a nice tone? If my job robbed and took advantage of me I wouldn't be speaking politely either. The thing about Kpop is that this industry has truly managed to make it hard for idols to be human and express themselves as such. A reaction that would be normal by any other standard is now being used to paint Chuu as if she is a horrible person all because of idol image. Nevermind the fact that almost all of the rest of Loona members obviously agree with her too and are seeking to get out of their contracts.

So, where are the people who kept saying Love Dive an After Like wasn't as big of a hit because they "saw no celebrities" participating in their dance challenges?

Ive right now is the defending Champion and New Jeans is their biggest contester right now and I honestly think they have a good shot at it.
But both of them just have to make it through the new wave of debuting idols. People talk a lot about YGNGG but forget Hybe still has I-Land girl group, En- sister group (and you guys know survival show groups always hot big especially because it's HYBE and Mnet together). Aside from them there SM has already begun teasing their NGG as well.
So while IVE has to watch out for New Jeans new jeans also has to look out for I-Land and YGNGG and SMNGG (although Aespa is most likely the one who wilp be most affected by SMNGG who I suspect will debut around the same time as YGNGG).

People are going to hate me saying this but I think K-pop is at a terrible cross roads. They want international money but, the more international they go the less they are liked at home. But also, the more international they go the less the international market like it. K-pop is losing it's identity. It's one of the reasons I don't like international fans voting on competition shows. K-pop needs it's Korean identity. That's what makes it special.
This is why it's always good to keep reading before typing a response cause I was just about to bring up this very point to the first part of what you were saying.
Anyway, I completely agree. The reason I believe this happens is because Kpop companies operate like AI. They feed on ideas, images, and sounds from West and try to generate what they think international audiences would like. But like with most AIs, you will find that while on the surface they kind of fit the bill, often if you look a even a little closer you will notice a bunch of wonkiness and inconsistencies in the replication.
Rarely have I found actual songs that are 100% suited for international audiences by Kpop groups. In fact, soloists like Chungha or Hyorin are more likely to put out songs that fit the bill than the actual Kpop groups.
I guess the reasoning for that is because they still want to keep that signature Kpop sound but I still wish some of these companies wouldn't be afraid to push the boundaries a little more and just GO for it.
