Damn this old discussion is wild

Well, if that's the case, Bts suddenly get so popular only because Bongo's dad was the former president of the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Corporation. He definitely had some political connections that helped his son's company in some way, and helped in pushing his baby's little boy group to success. Then, rags to riches my ass 🤣
At this point, I’m impressed by how Armys are more obsessed with NJ than we are. This comment isn’t even related to the topic. At suggesting some teenage girl involved in some dirty politics drama is disgusting. Like grow up. Does liking a group of men really have some power to turn people into this?

Only one 14 year old at least that is one thing that fandom can't say they copied their faves
I don’t understand why you act like this, tbh. Leave all the negativity to the threads that discuss it, and stop bringing it into unrelated ones. For this issue, for example, we could have also pointed out how many Dives started trash-talking this group too. It’s not like it’s not widely talked about, but of course, you wouldn’t mock Dives or IVE for it. So, in conclusion, this kind of thing happens to almost every new group and will die down once they debut, unless it’s a huge issue like NJ and Illit.
Also, I’ve noticed you being pretty passive-aggressive toward Nj—not just their fans, but your comments sometimes it feels like you’re targeting the group and the girls directly. Please, no need to add to the long list of toxic people here. You’re better than that.

I just know that girl is already tired of all the discussions about her private issues and has put a stop to all those speculation.

Condolences to her family. Such a beautiful girl.
I understand this is heartbreaking news, but I think a trigger warning would be helpful. I hope this doesn’t come across as insensitive, but I’m not sure this is the right place for this post.

Wait didn’t 5th gen start last year
whenever BM and Illit debuted? So we’re in the second year!Imo only SM and YG got it right aespa is already in their 5th year and the gap between BP to BM was long!
JYP debuting a gg every 3 years will be the downfall!
Hybe debuting a gg every year will be their downfall!
My bad, I was listening to First Love by Adele while writing that, so I subconsciously wrote 'first' instead of 'second'
. But yeah, they started with Zb1 in the middle of 2023 -
Tbh, I still see this gen as part of the 4th gen, but what can we do when the companies, idols, and media themselves already consider it the newest generation of K-pop?
Anyway, has anyone else noticed how fast this generation is moving for both girl groups and boy groups? Or has it always been like this, and I'm just noticing it now?
HYBE:
- Coming this year: Soumu's new gg & Pledis' new gg
SM:
- Coming soon: H2H
YG:
- Debuted: Baemon
- Rumored: New bg in 2025/26
JYP:
- Debuted: Kickflip
- Rumored: New gg in 2025/26
We're only in the first year in the 5th gen, and we already have so many new groups from the Big 4, like we all have representative from all of them this early. And that’s not even including the ones from midsize companies that are confirmed or rumored to debut this year.
Is this even healthy? Can company stans really keep up with all these groups? With how the Kpop market is right now, debuting new groups back-to-back doesn’t seem like the best idea.

Do fans make them, or is it the company? Because I’ve noticed that some groups have Wikipedia pages for all their members, while others don’t. Like, in 4th-gen girl groups, Gidle, Aespa, and Newjeans all have individual pages for every member. But for groups like Lsf, Ive, Kepler, and Stayc, only some members have one.

The wildest part is that Suzy wasn’t even supposed to be the main focus,the C-line was. But since the other two weren’t confident enough with their Korean, she ended up getting all the opportunities, especially for the invitation of going to survival shows. Suzy just had the right personality to make up for it, and that’s how she slowly built her solo popularity. By the time the other two realized they should’ve put themselves out there instead of staying in the background, it was already too late as Suzy already get her first acting gigs.

It is a way for staff and users to have positive interactions and just have a little banter. If that is not your thing that is fine, however there is no need to be negative about it. Not everyone is bound to like the whole games and activities thing and that is fine.
Meh, then don’t pin it, just post it like everyone else to be fair. That’s my only issue with this. Hardly anyone is interested, yet it’s given special treatment just because it's posted by a staff. That’s biased. Thank goodness it’s no longer pinned, that feature should only be used for threads with high engagement or truly important topics
-
Lol, why does this random 'Q&A user activity' even get pinned when hardly anyone cares to answer? Tbh I don’t really care, but it’s kinda funny how it gets pinned just because the moderator posted it, even though it's so boring and gets barely any attention. Meanwhile, other threads are getting way more engagement
. But yeah, I guess this can be an example of abuse of power, even if it's just on a very small scale

Don’t worry, they’re posting on Instagram almost every day, and their faces are still everywhere in Korea. Oh, and if you’re that worried, I'm glad to inform that their luxury brand deals moving forward with the girls without the Hybe tags.
As for SM stans, they were never really supportive towards Nj, it's the opposite before this mess, so the loss is not significant at all. Yet, at least them moving on to other girl groups doesn’t seem as bad as those Hybe token stans who dropped the girls just because they’re loyal to the yellow company and can’t handle seeing their Papa Bear get ‘hurt’ by a bunch of little girls.

I feel like both NJ and HYBE/ADOR keep saying the same things over and over again every week. This is like rewatching the same episode of a TV Show.
Now, they're asking their fans how they should call themselves TEMPORARY! I mean, what's the point of that? You either can work as an Idol group or not, and if you can, why don't you want to pick a final name. This is a total mess in both sides.
Did you know a lot of companies ask fans for name suggestions? It’s super common in Kpop. Like, even mnet did this too for gp999. And the name contest was just two days long and was only to gather ideas, so what's so negative and messy about it?
AND MIND YOU, this is their first statement since leaving ador and hybe while ador has been releasing statements about the girls almost every week. And it’s just a public statement to let people know they’ve hired lawyers, and obviously, their lawyers told them to do it. From a legal point of view, making this statement definitely has a purpose.
And YES, they can still work as idols if they want. The injunction is only about stopping them from signing advertisement deals. The results for that will take 2–3 months, and the contract termination could take years to settle. In that gap, they can do whatever they want as free citizens.
If you don’t want to see the 'repeated 'formal statements that come with these kinds of lawsuits, just check back later when the court results are out. YOU SOUNDS LIKE THEY CAN CONTROL THE COURT TO PUSH THEIR CASE TO THE VERY TOP OF THE PRIORITY AND GET THE RESULTS ASAP.
This. It looks like they're saying the same things that they said last year. Besides, it looks like they're no more rebellious than any other group that has tried to exit their contracts before.
No one’s ever straight-up held a press conference to terminate their contract like that and made a new YouTube account just to call out their company. Not to mention, they’re smart enough to do that to let the public see through HYBE’s madness, so they won’t end up like 50/50. Let’s be real, the chances of winning against a giant company like that are small. That’s why, despite the mistreatment, almost all idols just endure it. Those little girls really have bigger balls at the end of the day.

TheQoo?
As I said above, I didn’t wish to share the source, even if it’s only shown pics of an empty dorm. A lot of people have weird obsessions and fetishes, especially towards celebrities, which I believe why that mf even posted it on site full of that type of people in the first place

On Korean forum

Did Hybe really know, though? They came at a very weird time with body cams, almost like they were hoping to catch something. Most importantly and I love how you ignore it like it's nothing, they uploaded it on DC Gallery, which is full of incels and perverts. What was that for? They didn’t even know the girls would just end their contract and hold a press conference about it to start with.
-
As I believe many people no longer check the megathread, I will post a thread because this is so messed up and deserve its own thread.
And thank goodness Nj had already moved out. The thing is, why did they even use a body camera instead of a regular one? Did they even know the girls had moved out is my biggest question here. And using a body camera is questionable if they only wanted to record the place for some real estate purposes. Because imagine if the girls were still there—what was hybe actually trying to do?

We have provided more information on this in our privacy policy.Then, there are pictures of Njs' dorm that someone posted on DC Gallery at 3 AM with the title "Confession" on December 19, showing that it’s empty. Basically, a Hybe employee went to their dorm in the middle of the night and then uploaded the pictures on that incel community site.
If you ask me for the source, I have the link to the post, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to spread it further, even if the dorm is empty.

Probably. The worst part is that the pictures were POSTED ON DC INSIDER
That's the equivalent to posting the photos on 4chan or some other degenerate incel community.
LIke...WHY??
I also am laughing my ass off at the kpop subreddit. First they were lawyers, then they were immigration officers and now they're all landlords and property managers.
The mental gymnastics those delusional, unhinged company stans do to justify their deranged agendas would be enough to win Gold at the Olympics.
This was a comment from P*nnchoa that I think make the most sense:
"Photos were taken with a body camera in the dark and then uploaded on the korean incel gallery in the middle of the night (3am).
That suggests Hybe personnel "broke" into their dorm and tried to catch the members off guard in the act (of them using their accommodation) at some point in the evening / at dusk, but they had already left.
That would be in line with Hybe's recurrent actions from invasion of privacy to leaking of personal, sensitive information.
It's doubly shitty when you consider Hybe continued media-playing against newjeans using Ador's resources and infrastructure despite knowing they were not.
It's also questionable why it's Hybe personnel and not an Ador employee who is "inspecting" spying on Ador artists' dorm."
And my personal opinion, why would they even upload it on DCG? I don’t get that part at all, so to me it seems like it’s probably some form of revenge porn. Some creeps out there have bizarre obsessions and fetish especially when it comes to celebrities.
