Well, Zara is not really known for her intelligence and if that was the custom in her home, I pity her friends
As every Scandinavian have already pointed out, no, it's not a thing and certainly not part of our culture. Either it's just a joke post or a single fucked-up family that can't be generalized on the population as a whole. I wouldn't be surprised if it's another soft-power attack by Russian-sponsored trolls, considering we just voted to join Nato
Display MoreThis thread is not a criticism, It's just that I've been reflecting about it and I noticed It's how a lot of K-pop stans think.
Are you like that? Do you think the most successful act in an agency should receive the best treatment/management, the best promotions, the most high-quality content, the biggest amount of releases?
Do you think all acts should be treated equally?
Or do you think an agency should invest more in the newer/less successful acts to give them bigger opportunies to grow that other acts might not be needing?
They probably make market analyses of the probability of an act making it or not and whether it's worth to still invest in, but I can see why any profit-driven company wouldn't want to waste money in the long-run on a non-profitable project. In the end, it's business, not charity.
Maybe Nevies have a more informed opinion on this but as an outsider, i have no clue why Nevies would hate on Cube so much. Everywhere you go, they are trashing and shading Cube, claiming that the girls all hate working there, that they cant wait for their contracts to expire, that Cube isnt promoting them.
Honestly, i'm dumbfounded. Idle is literally EVERYWHERE in Korea right now, on every damn program in the country it seems like. Their song just took back #2 from Love Dive on Melon charts, a 10 week old song did that. Cube has got them running on all cylinders, with Aespa in hiatus, Idle is literally THE GG in Korea right now.
Is it just bitter SJ stans that are spreading this anti-Cube narrative? That's the only explanation i can think of, Cube and SJ mishandled their case and SJ paid for it with her dismissal and now her fans are disgruntled and resentful and want the rest of Idle to either leave Cube or to go down in flames.
Add the ever-bitter CLC stans, who have somehow deluded themselves that management was the reason that their favs didn't make it
Flop. The intro was great, then they went nowhere with it.
They've had their fair share of surgeries, implants, fat transplants, skin whitening, fillers, and botox. However, they go for a more "girl next door"-kind of visual, so in that context it looks more "natural" than say SM.
This would have made the news if there was any truth to it.
None of those choices
Super Junior, Mamamo, and Apink (with some help from Eunji for the weaker vocals)
Honestly, they had the best marketing campaign in entertainment history. Naming them "BTS" when Behind the scenes videos were getting popular on Youtube, attaching themselves to more popular groups, the whole "Any Armies here?"-spam campaign - purely brilliant! They've managed to create a cult within the fandom on a whole other level and draw both success stans and leftovers from One Direction into it.
A new group would need a good marketing team and up to date concept/sound. BP do have a chance, but they need to go all out and I'm not sure if they or YG are willing to risk it or even want it, as they get a lot more free time while earnings are high from their endorsements. As a girl group, they'd also not get as far, as seen throughout history.
I never found it to be a problem with the older groups, but with the new line distribution videos and solo stan issues, we have reached a point of no return. I'd rather there be no specified positions, if it means less hate thrown at the more talented (but less popular) idols like Soyeon. Fixed positions also disregard the ability to improve, and although there is seldom any significant improvement after debut, there are some exceptions. For example both Soyeon and Yuqi have improved beyond the two main vocalists; Min from Miss A took lessons and improved her singing, easily surpassing Suzy etc.
Considering that many idols receive large solo parts only due to them being visuals and center, then awarding hardwork and talent with more exposure should not be so controversial regardless of their original "position"
Twice: Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Jeongyeon, and sometimes Nayeon
Itzy: Chaeryoung, although I don't find them a very visual group in general
SNSD: Sunny, Hyoyeon (at least original version), Taeyeon at times
After School: E-young
Gidle: Shuhua and Yuqi, although the latter's had a recent glow-up
Kara: Nicole
2ne1: All except Sandara
Aespa: Winter
I don't find any male idols particularly attractive, and don't know most names except for the one that's been beaten into my head, so:
BTS: RM, Jin, Sugar, and Jimin
In the end, it's hard as everyone's visuals have improved with surgery (and sometimes deteriorated again after too much surgery), and styling, makeup, and especially editing can do a lot. Also remember that attraction is highly subjective, and there is no right or wrong answer.

Personally I slightly doubt that. Just my personal thoughts on it but Source weren't doing well(probably not GFs fault) and with their albums selling about 80-90 thousand only half decent Spotify, Youtube and Apple Music performance and a down turn in Korean digitals and no ability to tour thanks to covid....
You could see coming to the end they were spending the bare minimum on Gfriend and it makes sense...at their level the profit was likely not very big, if at all present. With how much it allegedly cost to film, record, package and promote and comeback in Kpop these days their numbers just didn't seem to add up to it.
True, and with upcoming contract renewals, the girls would be in a better position to negotiate, which, of course, would further sour the deal for HYBE. They redistributed their resources from a mid-successful project at the latter stage of their careers to the potential of greater gain.
The police should conduct investigation if this involves past and ongoing school violence. Whether Kim Garam was the real perpetrator, bystander or victim, the stories coming out about her friends threatening and tormenting other kids who exposed her is worrying. The focus should be on bullying/school violence part, not her being horny teenager.
Exactly! Her outfits and mannerisms are not part of it and complete nonsense at best, slut shaming at worst. If she did indeed harass other students, she should face criticism and be excluded from the group; however, until more direct evidence is produced, we should remain neutral.
Most likely the Produce controversy, and the group was always mainly fan driven rather than loved by the GP. They had decent digitals and great physicals
