It's a pretty good song, but the styling and music video is quite forgettable. I do like budget Jisoo though.

Was it dbsk, suju, bigbang, exo (in order) that had been number 1 in korea before bts?

I mean what do you mean with number #1 in korea? If you talk about the majority of the gp knowing you it's more like this:

H.o.t --> Shinhwa --> g.o.d --> SG Wannabe --> BigBang --> CNBlue --> Exo --> BTS

All the other boygroups like SHINee, TVXQ, 2PM, 2AM, Suju or F.T Island had never more than 1 and maybe a half hit song. Doesn't mean that every other song was flopping, but groups like TVXQ or Suju never dominated the charts like the above mentioned. You can even argue if Exo should even be on the list, but I didn't want to anger their fans even more.

Quote from ripia

If general public and charting can't push the album sales then it's totally pointless. Baekhyun alone sold 1000,000. All bigbang album sales combined barely beat 1 Baekhyun album sales.

Nobody in korea gives a shit how many albums your chinese fandom buys you.

The superior former SM idol:

Quote from ripia

I think 2012-2014 they were for sure number 1, 2015-2017 it was debatable with EXO, depends how you look at it. but they were definitely the number 1 in 2012 and 13

It's not debatable. BigBang was the #1 from 2007 to 2017. There is not a single boy group that outcharted BigBang during 2007-2017.

That's what the legal action is for.

Unless Cube can prove that Seo Shin Ae and the other alleged victim lied there is no way back for Soojin.

Just proving that Seo Shin Ae and the other victim have no proof for Soojin's bullying will do absolutely nothing to the bad image of Soojin and Cube.

The 2 statements you compared aren't contradicting at all. Who wants to talk with their bully?

Cube is probably the worst run company in Kpop. They should have just removed Soojin from the group. Now the popularity of the whole group will be affected because of Cube's actions.

This doesn't seem to be an official statement from YG and rather just a journalist speculating. What we know of Baemon it's unlikely for them to be anything even close to "Big Mama". Also a group like "Big Mama" doesn't make you money these days.

Cube should've just kicked her out of Gidle. It's not like she added anything to the group. Sure she's not a useless member, but Gidle can still work the same without her.

Sounds like another empty upbeat song from NiziU. JYP and Sony just doing the bare minimum with NiziU after "Make you Happy".
Gotta milk the cash cow as much as possible.

Yes I do. I enjoyed reading some back in school. Don’t remember if they ever portrayed a bunch of Asians and Americans with the Asians being beaten up though

And since even you don’t find that funny why do you still wanna push that idea down people’s throats that it was comedy? This was a racial humor and you’ll be blind to not see anything wrong with that image up there

Imagine if that image was Meghan among the rest of the white acts. The black community would have cancelled TOPPS already because that image is sensitive and offensive

Because my opinion is not decisive for what counts as satire or comedy.

The five woo!ah! fans on this forum.

Quote from nahadoth

Still in poor taste considering violence against Asians has been on a massive increase for a while now. Whatever commentary they wanted to say could have been illustrated in a different way from this.

I agree. I just don't get the racism accussations.

Quote from doesitneedsaying

it was in poor taste to make them in the first place, but after the shooting happened they should have pulled them themselves and not wait for the backlash to do it.

Don't they sell those cards? Then you have your answer.

Quote from melqaniejlsoo

and? it still wouldn't be funny. no matter what was happening right now, making those cards still wouldn't be okay. wtf is your problem? is violence funny to you?

Are you serious? It's satire consisting of the grammy award being used as a hammer in a whac-a-mole game. The members of BTS are the moles that are getting hit by the hammer like in the game. Since when does whac-a-mole has anything to do with violence? It's like saying we should ban Pokemon because Pikachu uses thunderbolt on Ash in every 2nd episode. Oohh how violent this kids show is.

Quote from doesitneedsaying

i'm all for satire but what exactly was funny in the photo? posting a photo like this in today's climate was irresponsible, especially on the day when asians people got killed by a lunatic. okay, you made those cards but you don't have to publish them. read the room.

The cards have been made available on the same day as the shooting. Harsh to blame them considering the cards were created beforehand and the upload was very likely done automatically.

Quote from Afriyieau1

What part of that image was funny?

And if it wasn’t racist then why weren’t all the other music acts portrayed that way so we know they were being treated equally??

And if you mean to say only winners were covered, then why weren’t lady Gaga and Ariana featured instead of BTS as they were the actual winners of that category and two of the biggest acts too

Have you never seen satire from comics like the mad magazine? This shit has never been funny to me, but their seems to be some kind of market for that.

Quote from melqaniejlsoo

hello???? it's not satire.

How is it not satire? Think back 10 years ago and replace BTS with One Direction. Where is the racism? This is just another case of totally crazy armys abusing their power online. Topps has nothing to apologize to. Removing the card because of the current events is the right thing to do, which they did.

Quote from LastResort318

That’s not a real apology.

It's not even racism. They only apologized because of the crazy fucked up shit armys pull. It's surely bad timing from Topps but overall it's simple satire.
