The song btw
Kind of a groundbreaking news coming from SK: it seems Soojin recorded a video performance for the youtube channel STUDIO CHOOM ahead of her solo debut. Which means she might have some official activities and appearances on Korean media after all.
"Singer Soojin, who is making her solo debut, ends her hiatus by appearing on Studio Choom and begins her new career.
According to Xports News coverage on October 7, Soojin recently finished recording video content for Mnet Digital Studio M2's official YouTube channel STUDIO CHOOM.
This appearance on Studio Choom has added meaning in that it is the first appearance of Soojin since she suspended her activities with her withdrawal from the group (G)I-DLE in February 2021 due to suspicions of school violence. In this recording for Studio Choom, Soojin will reveal a performance of her solo debut title song 'The Handmaiden' for the first time, boasting her unique strong and sensuous dance moves, and showing off her unrivaled presence.
Soojin was the team's main dancer during her (G)I-DLE activities and was loved by many for her outstanding dancing skills and unique aura. Soojin, who returns as a solo singer after a nearly three-year hiatus, is raising expectations for the growth and potential she will show and the colorful activities she will have in the future."
I think there's a higher chance for Gidle members to disband and pursue solo activities rather than the group leaving Cube for another company. Now more than ever, Gidle has little reason to leave Cube. Cube is a company almost exclusively devoted to them. It could rename to Gidle Company at this point. Why would Gidle leave? They have the staff, the infrastructure, and it has worked pretty well for them.
Cube can't afford to lose them therefore no company will give them a better deal when the time for renewal comes.
I don't understand. Do you ask if we agree or disagree about what constitutes Central Europe?
Nothing new here, Haerin is the prettiest idol to debut in the last three years.
They had an impressive string of hot releases in their first year, then kinda went dormant. Not totally inactive as they had a collab with labelmates B.I.G and a mini tour in Europe later, but it was too little after suck a packed first year. So it's good to see them back with new music. These teaser photos are unexpected though, very different from their usual concepts.

Zionist Supporters: NEW Palestinians all of a sudden hates Israel, why are they mad? Nothing happened before Oct.7
So what? What was Oct 7 supposed to achieve? The slaughter, rape, mutiliation and desecration of a thousand people in kibbutzim, in a music festival for peace... what was it supposed to achieve? What was it supposed to achieve when these victims were surely more sympathetic to the Palestinian people than right-wingers from Tel Aviv or whever they location of choice is. How is it supposed to improve Palestinian's lives? That's what I wonder. It's such a mystery to me.
You consider this current war in a vacuum of a few weeks instead of the decade long years of fighting, oppression, and senseless murder that befell Gaza.
It's funny because I said in this very thread that it was pointless to discuss the conflict without going back to the 40's and possibly beyond. So you accusing me of considering the current war in a vacuum is rich. But everytime I bring that up (I did it in another thread irrc), no one answers. No one is interested in discussing history and what could have been done differently. It would be interesting to see how the world would be today, had the Arab League approved the UN's two state proposal in 1947 and not waged war against Israel on day one. Maybe today everyone would live happily and peacefully in their respective, officially recognized countries. Or maybe not, who knows. It's hard to imagine how it could be any worse though.
You say I have a double standard when I don't care equally about Israel ands Palestine. A giant rock from space could fall tomorrow and raze the whole place to the ground, it wouldn't affect me too much. That's the reason why I can discuss that topic with a cold head, not in an enraged state like you guys are.
So my comments are appaling because I don't shed fake tears over a cause I have no stakes in? That proves I have no double standards; unlike you who seem very emotional over the death of Palestinian kids, but not as much over the unfair death of kids in other parts of the world. Why don't you spend as much energy for the Ukrainian kids for example? What's the difference? I don't know, you tell me.
Jeez, sounds like Hamas.
And we're back to overlooking countless unnecessary mass deaths because not enough have been killed to be called a genocide. Clearly the already 8000 including 4000 kids aren't enough, we more more to die for it to count to make it official. Palestinian lives are nothing but stats still.
There is a spectrum between "nothing happened" and "genocide". You guys are the ones who make it a stat by bringing numbers day in day out. You are the ones who make it a stat by pointing out the disproportionate response of Israel, as if war was about proportion. Like "hey guys, Hamas killed 1400 of our own, so we have a free pass to kill 1400 Palestinians without blame, but not any more!".
It's not how it works. Hamas launched an gratuitous attack, with no military goals (because it's a war they can't win), with the sole pupose of triggering a violent reaction. The fact is Hamas don't care about Palestinians, they use them as meat shield in their war effort against Israel. They said it themselves ("the underground tunnels are not for civilians, it's not our duty to protect them"). They want many Palestinians to die so that people like you get mad.
Learn what a genocide is so you don't embarrass yourself like this trying to deny a genocide we are witnessing on real time
Yes, I know what a genocide is, thank you very much. I also know lots of people nowadays like to use this word thoughtlessly, even disingenuously, for shock value and stirring public opinion. Ukraine (and Russia) played the same card not long ago.
You can't be seriously trying to argue there is no genocide because israel is inefficient at killing the palestinian population, right? at what percentage per bomb will you consider it a genocide friend?
At a rate that is high enough that they actually can commit a genocide in a realistic timeframe. Because if the numbers don't make sense, then maybe it's not a genocide; only war.
The genocide monsters on israel know daddy US will give them as many billions as they need so they don't care about anything they are just dropping thousands of tons of tnt to destroy the infrastructure of gaza and kill as many civilians
How can you call it a genocide then, when they seem to be so bad at it?
On Oct 12, Al Jazeera reported that Israel, by their own words, had dropped 6,000 bombs weighing 4,000 tonnes on Gaza over the last six days, killing more than 1,400 people.
But the math that apparently none of you did between all the uproar and outrage is the following: based on these numbers , it means that 1 Israeli bomb kills 0.233 person on average (1400 / 6000).
What kind of incompetent genocide is this? I'm confused.

It must be the most inefficient and expensive genocide ever then. Because if the casualty count is "only" 8k+ despite TWO NUCLEAR BOMBS, Israel must miss their targets by a crazy large margin.
Based on the available information, it is OP's opinion that there is one. If you disagree, you're free to state your case against it. And OP is free to construct a counter-argument.
Arguments and counter-arguments, there is no such thing here. Only people getting mad and calling names.
Indeed, that's why teens should get into metal: lots of big, hairy dudes with questionable looks who won't make them feel bad about themselves.
This is going to be my last reply to you because we'll never see an eye to eye in this matter. Maybe you don't realise your own bias, maybe you're not biased but that's how you come off when you keep coming at my posts and dismissing the sources I share just because they are Palestinians, meanwhile you never addressed posts from user Wonggaahai who was literally defending genocide and carpet bombing Gaza, or Custic whose posts were so horrible that some of them were deleted by the mods. You were around and posting at the same time these posts happened. So excuse me if I'm not too willing to believe your claims. Peace out.
I came at you the most because you are the creator and main contributor of this thread.
I dismissed one of your source, primarily because of its name: electronic intifada, which sounded like the most loaded thing ever. Now, the way I see it, the truth (if there is such a thing) is most of the time somewhere in the middle. Just like for the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, I'm not gonna swallow everything that the Ukrainian authorities feed me for the sole reason that they're the defending party. In times of war (and not only), information becomes a weapon that each side will try to use for their own benefit. It's called propaganda, and propaganda doesn't necessarily entail falsehood and lies. So the truth seeker will read and listen to both sides. It's too complicated for most people though and I can understand why. I don't really do it either; that's why I mostly question those who hold firm certainties to expose their biases and flawed epistemology.
Anyway, as you said, let's agree to disagree.
