It does look similar to this based on the cctv. This scooter could be mistaken for a kickboard with a saddle.

by who? the owner of the scooter?

Quote from 0ppar

indeed...Knetz mapped the route he would have taken from where he was spotted on the CCTV and it would have been a 2.8km ride. The 500m he claimed would only be possible if he took a straight line (red line on map)...through buildings.

wait, so both him and HYBE lied in their original statement?

This looks incredible wtf

Quote from Yinye

Billie’s new album is great tho. Birds of a Feather is probably the most mainstream popular song but I prefer Chihiro slightly more. I would like if Billie and Jennie did a collab with retro vibes

I thought it was Lunch? that seems like the song she was pushing the most mainstream wise. It's also the one charting the highest at the moment.

im surprised it took him this long to blow up

Quote from Flowercrew

We're not like any other kpop fandoms tbh.

There are plenty of mature Army as in married and older.

And most are from Western countries so more open?

Maybe their Korean fans and some Asian fans would go crazy though.

I used to think like this but these fans are some of the most deranged ones, especially the older ones that are shippers.

Yama, the way you're able to get a thread in AKP to 5+ pages at a time when the forum is at its most inactive has got to be a skill at this point ..

half of them stan groups that don't chart on melon so it makes sense

weren't all of aespa 165-169? difference shouldn't be that large esp when they're all wearing similar heel levels

Quote from YamaChwan

June 2023 is such a harsh cut off point, since Get Up dropped the next month and NewJeans obliterated every statistic imaginable with that album and made Hall of Fame worthy achievements by the end of the year

i actually asked if they could update their answer based on up to date information but they proceeded to do a google search and use girlgroupstan21's akp threads as a source ..

chatgpts conclusion from information they have up to june 2023:

As of now, TWICE is the bigger act internationally due to their established career, extensive achievements, and significant global influence. They have a proven track record of success across various metrics, including chart performance, awards, media presence, and endorsements.

I'm confused. Why would she apologize to them and especially le sserafim?

theyve been saying this for a while but this narrative got particularly loud because of this situation:

this is the og tweet that army twt (mainly) and fearnots blew up, the comments and qrts have cleared somewhat from the mass mental illness their initially was but you can still see comments or qrts draggings njs getting mass liked.

this is probably the dumbest "scandal" i've seen in a while.

the og photo for the karina one was so good but the resizing messed it up so heres another one

pasted-from-clipboard.png

eta: are the sizes off for anyone else? for the last 3 i tried to upload to akp instead of using imgur upload but now that im looking at it again the photo sizes look off

Quote from SooYoung

yeah i plans to do different set

i'm starting with the superbeing version cause i know a lot of people like it

all their superbeing videos had great shots and would make great badges, esp ningnings.

this is actually hard though lol i was trying to search up several good photos but as soon as i resized them they just don't look as good as the full photo does, i guess i'm just terrible at selecting the photos.

would any of these fit the content guidelines? it says "professional photos only" but is that a 100% condition or is there flexibility? i also don't know if theres been badge sets with these type of photos before or we're only doing this era for the badge photos so its more cohesive.

the photos in your sig would be great submissions. just about any photo from this era would be good.

Quote from OnceMidzy4ever

Put the video atleast to see what is this about. Is too much to ask? How can you be Seulgi-Abs and be this lazy?

that's exactly what Abs is known for

Quote from whiffy

Twice vs bp, still? In the year of our lord 2024?

this is how they come off anytime they restart this fanwar

Quote from imean

Unresolved things could lead to users running away. Also another problem, new members are hesitant to participate in here because of too many restrictions. Ppl are comfortable to be silent reader. Post count continue to dropping. Traffic is slow expect HybexAdor thread. I wonder why staff and mods never concerned about this problem

Maybe Akp should bring back Anon to increase the activity and traffic

or maybe do a mass pardon for all the users banned because of jo-..?

i'm not sure they even want to come back but that would be a start..

Quote from autumnleaf_soshi

most people that say they know someone by the way a person write is bluffing

what I'm saying is when a certain user is assigned as mod, that person shouldn't announce themselves on their main account from the very start

they should just introduce themselves as new mod and should never intentionally expose themselves to others using the mod account.

when in mod account, that person should only make comment on the forums when it comes to modding. no chit chat, no personal takes on matters, just verbal warning, give out wp, ban, nothing more.

I dont know because wouldnt this make it easier for moderators to be biased? They're still human at the end of the day and with them being anonymous it might just embolden them to be more harsh with users they personally dislike or reports that theyre more inclined to pay more attention to based on their biases.

I wonder what user you were trying to bait with this thread because somehow I don't buy that it was a general thread lol.
