Drama for everything

I liked it so BOP

Is he a criminal or something? Why does it matter so much if she is dating him or not?

This reminds me a bit of people reaction to Hyuna's recent dating news, except i dont know what that Fred guy did to warrant it.

Unpopular opinion but imo what kick started 4th generation is COVID and the resulting lockdown.

This started a new shit,a completely new era for kpop with its unprecedented expansion to the west, the boom of album sales, the development of new ways of approaching fandom activities (fancalls, online performances, tiktok, growth of social media activities, etc).

Even after the lockdown a lot of those practices are still in place and the effect of the kpop boom in the west are still felt.

If their issues were only with Min Hee-jin, bsh wouldn’t have ignored NewJeans before this and hybe wouldn't being passive aggressive against the girls on media despite knowing how important to win their trust. So, it’s clear that it's more personal to them. Even with Min Hee-jin out of the picture now, they still managed having a conflict with Shin Wooseok just few days ago which the main reason for them to do so is probably because he didn't want to work with other Hybe group except the girls, caused NewJeans to lose some important pieces of their careers and damage the girls relationships with the most high-profile advertisement studio in Korea.

All those events derived from their primary conflict with MHJ and the animosity stemming from it. Hybe are giving the cold shoulder to the people who side with her.

As long as NJ remain profesional and make the wise choice to prioritize their career over their infatuation with MHJ, they are good imo, and Hybe have no reason to despise them (rather the opposite given their already well established successful status).

Why would Hybe not want to push NJ though? I dont get this narrative that people are spreading.

Clearly their issues is wih MHJ. If she is out of the picture they have no reason to have any resentment toward NJ. Especially if they put the group in the hands of a team that will be selected and supervised by them.

Is announcing new release only 1 week before d-day the new trend now?

Why is this coming out now, 2 months after the facts?

Quote from Ves

Just to let you know - despite, and probably because of, the thoughtful points you brought up, they will attempt to frame you as a pathetic Hybe stan now. I'd like to flatter myself that I can predict the future, but after seeing the bullies pile on - the predictability is high.

They probably will, but that's whatever to me. I am not a Hybe stan, doesn't stan any Hybe group, and doesnt particularly like Hybe as a corporation in general, but the systematic persecution and bullying of some groups since the beginning of the AdorvsHybe conflict is not acceptable imo. You don't need to be a Hybe stan to see it, just to have a bit of human decency and compassion.

But I have learnt that deflection was a lot of people's go to method to dismiss an argument they can't counter so they will probably react like you said.. Wouldn't make them any less pathetic though.

Seriously some of you really need to come to term witht the fact that, contrarily to what MHJ seems to believe and made some of you believe as well, other Hybe groups outside of New Jeans have the right to exist too.

Idol groups documentaries are extremely common, lsrfm had one before, I dont know why this is now an issue.

Honestly it just feels like some of you are afraid the twisted narrative painting other Hybe GG as vilains instead of human beings might not hold, because you know it is bullshit. But for some reason some of you ended up believing that NJ's thriving is dependant of this narrative being perpetuated, so the sole idea of lsfrm (or illit ) being seen in a good light is making you insecure.

This is weird, quite pathetic and screams high level of insecurity.

Aespa has been killing it since last year imo. I thought Drama last year was fantastic and their comeback this year was also really good ( I especially enjoyed Armageddon).

OP, music is really subjective. It is better to say that you personally think Taemin's album is really good or one of the best, but claiming it is literally the best out of all existing soloist albums will never be met with unanimous agreement. People have different tastes. I also doubt you yourself have listened to every single soloist albums to even be able to claim anything in the first place.

I agree. This is actually my favorite song from them since Love Dive.

Quote from Panpriyah-lice

Looking at the new gen, they are

I disagree. Groups like Nmixx, Aespa or Baby Monster for example seem to demonstrate more outstanding abilities imo.

To be honest I don't really see what makes KIOF singing skills stand out compared to most of their peers. A lot of times they are out of their range and strain a lot.

Imo their singing skills are indeed not that outstanding. They are just OK.

There is no controversy though. People are just pointing out that their encore are not that great but I dont see any hate bandwagon against them.

I thought several of her shows had sold out. Why not proceed with those ones at least?

I found both rather boring, so I am still waiting.

This is really deserved imo. There arent a lot of girlgroups with the amount of creative input and control GIDLE have so they appear as a genuine representation of female empowerment.

At the top of that they also do have at times some good and interesting releases that stand out even in the oversaturated kpop scene.
