Quote from kazuyakamenashi

Also when they were dating the age of consent was much lower that was both legally and " ethically" even if everyone in the nation didn't agree with it.

Legal, yes. Ethical ? Absolutely not !!

They hid the relationship because they knew the relationship would be considered inappropriate. How can something be “ethical” if the nation wouldn’t agree with it ?

He knew damn well this was wrong. Please she was 15 and he 27… how on earth is this ethical. Thank God they raised the age of consent. This law was already criticized for decades, many predators abused it to get away SA. It took one extreme case after the other to finally raise the age of consent !

He did extremely wrong here. That’s a fact, even if it was legal at that time, it was definitely not universally accepted within South Korea and this is why they denied the dating rumors !

Quote from keyboardwarrior7

As soon as she turned 21, he was gone! Oh my....

This man is a dedicated predator! If true! Let me add that lol. Then, the fact him talking flirty about Kim Yoojung and Nam Jihyun when they were all 15. He has a MO. And it is beyond problematic! I do not think this is an isolated incident (if true).

How many other girls are there out there who may be his victims? I wouldn't be surprised if there is a teenaged girl out there right now who thinks she's in love because he groomed her, and he's probably doing all sorts of manipulation to keep all his other relationships under wraps. (Allegedly! )

As Oprah once said… “ when people show you who they are, believe them “

These type of people would say the most deranged things in a playful manner making you believe they just be joking, but they are dead serious.

Quote from Lulu_Key

yeah her parents are garbage and they will probably drop this if he pays them

Hopefully mainstream media picks this up before its all buried

That’s unfortunately the downside of child celebrities who are also the main provider of the family. The family barely protects them from predators because they need the money.

I read no bigger media is reporting this because he is part of one of the biggest acting agencies in Korea.

I seriously don’t see how he could talk himself out of this. The one with the debts could be made up. But him dating a minor is pretty much confirmed!

The family is the one exposing him, which means they knew the relationship was seriously wrong and allowed it to continue for 6 years!!!! This was (if true) grooming and all the other adults who knew, including her family, did absolutely nothing to protect her.

I fear that the only reason why they are exposing him now is to get money out of the situation, as she isn’t there to provide for them anymore.

This young woman was failed by everyone around her! I’m so mad.

She looked amazing and did a great performance. The whole bond tribute was incredible.

I also love how Lisa did method dressing once again

I really love this album.

The mv gave me Arcane and Harlequin vibes!

You can tell she put a lot of thought in it.

They could pass as older and younger brothers

This is so sad… May her soul rest in peace!

This is the result of people refusing to give second chances. Ignoring that very often the irrational behavior of some people is a scream for help.

The song is on repeat

Quote from ThePhantomThief

But this is a poster for a World Tour. A poster that will be used, likely, as the branding for his tour in all the countries he will visit.

I don't even actually care much about the 88 thing because, yes, its obscure... (which as an aside is why actual NN's like using it, because when people call it out, they can say "oh it's just a number, whatever do you mean? "). I think that tha is a more an unfortunate coincidence when put along with the poster.

The poster itself, as a whole, is the problem here though. The argument that the Nazi's banned fraktur so it's not relevant is silly. 5 minutes online can find you plenty of NN's, boneheads and faschy bois using that font for their Nazi loving nonsense. The common layperson in countries sensitive to Nazi iconography would still find the font, used in certain contexts, on the nose.

The poster is clearly trying to evoke a certain look and feel, which is "40's Germanic Facist chic". The poster needs to be taken as a whole. The sum of it's parts. The font. The name. The red flag. Even the black and white silhouette with a silver detail on the collar. Each of those alone wouldn't amount to much at all. But combined, there's clearly an effort to evoke a certain feel.

And you mean to say no one in his entourage, or company, or design group or whichever international company is handling the tours worldwide steps looked at this poster and said "Hey... you know what? Theres a chance this might get misinterpreted".

BUT ALSO, those same group of people also had such an intimate knowledge of Early 19th Century Typography as used by Facist Dictatorships" to know that this font was "safe" to use because the Nazi's banned it.

Now again, I don't think at all G-Dragon meant any harm here. I don't think it's entirely unreasonable to think he might have tried evoke a Nazi-chic type look because he thinks it looks cool in a vacuum, removed from the meaning others might take from it. But I do find it hard to believe that no one else near him pointed anything out. I think someone should have known.

Iook, I get were you’re coming from, but here’s where I think things get more complicated. In East Asia, WWII and its symbolism don’t carry the same cultural weight or associations as they do in the West. There, the war is often framed as territorial conflict rather than an ideological one, and symbols that trigger immediate emotional reactions in the West don’t have the same impact or visibility. It’s not about excusing the oversight, it’s about acknowledging that G-Dragon and his team likely didn’t intend for this design to be offensive, but also didn’t understand the weight that others would assign to it. And if his design team was largely Korean or domestic, the lack of sensitivity is a lot easier to explain. You don’t need an international team to set up a world tour.

Quote from ThePhantomThief

The thing is, imo, G-Dragon SHOULD know better, or at least some of the bevy of designers and pe

How exactly tho?

If you read Nietzsches original books, everything is writing in the typeface GD is using (Fraktur). The same goes with any German literature up to the 19th century. If you study German history (not just WW2) you will encounter almost everything written in Fraktur until it was banned by the Nazi-Regime.

8 is a lucky number in Northeast Asia. How should he and his team know it’s also a dog whistle used by Neo-Nazi’s ? They have a complete different relationship to this number. This is very niche knowledge and not even widely known in Europe. 8 is his number as he was also born 8.8.1988.

He has been using the colors red, black and white for years. Also red is considered a lucky color in Asia too.

So even if you look into all this from their perspective… it wouldn’t be offensive

If I look up that typeface to just be extra sure, you will find out it’s not Nazi related, Nietzsche invented “Übermensch” but was obviously anti-Germany. So even if you educate yourself.. that’s the conclusion

How exactly should they know better?

Many just became Idols as a starting point to go into acting one day.

Also if you’re more welcomed in the acting scene then the music one.

I, for example, don’t see Ariana doing music for a while either and focus on acting

Everything was on point!

The vibe

The theme

The song

Everything was just perfect!

I’m so happy for her and of course Doja and Raye

Ok… where do I start!!!

I can see why the image in itself makes you uncomfortable… but a little research should have fixed that.

1. The font he uses is called “Fraktur”, it was the common font used in newspapers, books and letters in Germany and is part of the gothic fonts.

It was BANNED by the Nazi regime because quote “Schwabacher Judenletter” in other words it had to much connection to the Jewish community and therefore can’t be used in Germany anymore and shouldn’t be associated with Germany (it was part of the attempt to destroy any Jewish connection to Germany including burning books etc.)

Between 1933-35 they therefore invented a new font called “Tannenberg”

This is the Nazi font we know. And yes for uneducated eyes it might look similar, but it’s not.

Here Fraktur (banned by the Nazi Regime)

Tannenberg (The actual Nazi font)

The Nazi regime twisted Nietzsche’s “Übermensch” and turned it to something it wasn’t supposed to be.

Using Fraktur to write “Übermensch” is literally a slap into Nazi’s face as Nietzsche was polish (at least thats what he claimed) and during the end of his life very Anti-Germany as he sensed the growing bigotry and nationalism. This is blasphemy for them xD

Btw… Fraktur has been used more frequently again. U can still see old bars or restaurants with that font, even clubs. It’s not a Nazi font, it’s a historically German and Eastern Europe used font, banned by Nazis and restored the moment they lost the war.

So no, at least in Germany/Eastern Europe (actually all of middle Europe) shouldn’t misunderstand this, as it’s still used .

88 is his birth year and only used bei Neo- Nazi’s (it’s not historically used by Nazis that would be SS). Again if anything was intentional, then it was more about pissing if bigots and not him siding with them.

Well that’s it!

She outdid herself with this one

singer songwriter Jisoo is coming! I can't wait....

Singer, songwriter and actress

As a European this is a conversation we can’t really say much about, because citizenship by birthright is almost nonexistent here. One of your parents has to be a citizen of said country for you to get a citizenship at birth.

Or you can apply for one once you get older and reached a certain point of your education. Also if you have lived in Germany for more than 8 years and got a B2 certificate (language certificate) and had a full time job for at least 5 years, you’re eligible for a citizenship too. So many people in Germany (where I live) got a dual citizenship because of that.

Of course only if you got a legal immigration status.

Birthright citizenship is indeed very unique to America.

This guys rise to fame needs to be studied 😂

Will watch the interview later
