Since teshub has been living under a rock let’s introduce him to : https://kpop.daisuki.com.br/promoted_mvs.html
Can’t blv there are people that don’t know this exists when screen shots from this website was used as proof left and right every single day 🤣🤣🤣
You make sense. My point doesn't really apply starting from the corona era, but 2019 and earlier. I also assumed even BTS did ads in the past until they no longer needed it.
Everyone and their mothers cared about YouTube ads. And every single day there used to be threads about?
Did you live under a rock lol
5 pages in 2021. I don't see a single person mention ads for this so called 24-hour view record
We all knew about YT ads but people still wanted to brag about view records. But now those same people have a problem with what goes on in Spotify. Are they just hypocritical?
And all of them of Chinese descent and Chinese speakers
Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But some day soon you will see some scandal relating to GIDLE, with the media pushing it, knetizen comments turning against them. And ifans jumping on the bandwagon. This is what happens to non-Big company groups. From T-ara to 5050. They already tried it with Soojin. My guess is something related to member bullying (foreign members bullying the Korean members) or a pro-China angle.
Bro, stop intrusive thought posting. Tf is this, seek help 😫
Personally I don't care who strangers date, but then again why do we follow celebrities in the first place if not for the gossip factors. But I also noticed a lot of BPink fans being upset Lisa was seen with a white man. I'm just saying they shouldn't be shocked or surprised, like it happens regularly in the Western celebrity world.
Fans should never be treated lightly, but I side-eye your motives for suggesting this when you made continual derogatory posts about idols. I mean you did just rant about how you figured BP would probably all marry white men...
Seems like you want to hurt idols at any cost and are wrapping that thinly disguised movement to "boycott the companies" by alienating the idols when there are other avenues - such as filing lawsuits and getting media coverage - that would bring a lot more attention and oversight to the actual issues instead of just saying "boycott newjeans"
I didn’t criticize or rant. It’s just an observation of the kinds of partners Asian female celebrities end up with when they work or advance in the West. Such as Lucy Liu, Zhang Ziyi, Ayumi Hamasaki, Michelle Yeoh, Maggie Cheung, Devon Aoki, Brenda Song, Gong Li, among others. And for kpop that would be new, as idols mostly only dated or married other Koreans.
In the end, everything is about money and companies will only listen when their bottom line can be affected . I’m not saying boycott NJ forever. And it depends on who gave the final approval for the extreme security, but boycotting should be on the table when these egregious incidents occur due to policy and actions of the company.
Koreans are boycotting 5050 because they sued their CEO. Nobody is crying about that. Wendy had her two racial comments and Irene had her gapjil controversy. Some people boycotted entire RV for it, and it's why they never came close to Twice's level of success in America. That's just the fact of life, when segments of a population are outraged or offended. Even the people not directly responsible are affected in some manner. But there was never any fight for justice where everyone came out unscathed. But you always want those most responsible to take the brunt.
The fan sign was under Hybe Labels Japan and arranged by that specific label. New Jeans is under Ador... If you were going to boycott something, it would make more sense to boycott Hybe Labels Japan. The group who this fansign was for is a rookie group that debuted in December. They don't have millions of dollars or a very big fandom and they're still building a presence in Japan and Korea. A boycott would actually harm them a lot and that's not something Luné are considering at all. Our fandom (Luné) is addressing the issue.
Edit: HLJ sucks ass, so I'm not surprised they found a new way to suck even more.
This is a good point. It all depends on where the security orders came from. Whether HYBE itself is making these final decisions or if the label is acting more independently.
Nobody is ruining FiftyFifty's careers but themselves. Wtf were adults they are surrounded with thinking?
Some entities are creating the narrative against them. You have big company group stans threatened by them, so didn't like them from the beginning and always come up with reasons to hate them. Now you have the CEO and whoever his partners are doing a media push against the members. If the members are literal nobodies, why is the media putting so much attention to their case? Nugu companies fail all the time. But because they were successful, now they want to make sure they actually fail.
Why should the idols suffer for the sins of the company? There are better ways to seek redress and I do think there should be consequences for the outrageous behavior, but your "solution" seems to seek to punish the idols (who may be victims too) and is either misguided and/or thinly veiled and horribly superficial.
These idols who are making millions upon millions won’t be hurt in the least. Oh, they won’t be able to buy even more luxury watches and bags. Big whoop.
Any sort of protest needs to have some discomfort or “bite” to it, otherwise these companies would not care at all and continue as usual because the status quo remains the same.
And this isn’t about destroying their careers, but making it known to the company that fans shouldn’t be treated lightly. The trauma, shame and discomfort felt by the victims can’t be undone. But at least they can have support so that HYBE is put to task and that similar incidents won’t be repeated ever again.
Gangnam style was 10x more viral than Cupid and yet still Psy still could not sell out any concerts in the West.
Four young, decently attractive Asian women singing about love, or one old obese Korean man who sings about random tropes. Who is most likely to get interest in the West?
5050 has by far more marketability.
Of course Teshubs turns this into another rape fantasy towards the idols
This isn't the type of thread to be trolling or trying to one up other users. It's speaks volumes about HYBE's company culture that they saw no problem about these security procedures to the point it can be considered SA. That in itself is dangerous for any young females who work in this sort of company.
was it confirmed?
If they actually admitted to it that's a class action waiting to happen.
There was a confirmatory statement, and half assed apology. Not even from HYBE, but from "Weverse Shop". https://www.newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=202307092219240410
They even searched the underwear of the female fans. If this is what they do to PAYING CUSTOMERS, imagine what kind of leeway the company gives itself towards managing female trainees and idols who are obligated to follow HYBE's orders under contract.
And kpop stans showing their true colors by either trying to keep this issue hush hush or taking opportunity to troll about BTS and MHJ rather than put attention the actual abuse and lack of humanity by the company.
It shouldn’t even be up for debate. Especially from a company with basically 100% male ownership, having so much control over hundreds of young females, they should be held strictly accountable when it happens.
No sales, streaming or support for that company until they respond, take action against the perpetrators, apologize and give justice to the victims, and change their policies. And whoever gave orders and permission to those staff to engage in SA should be punished too.
Y’all have so much energy to continually beat down on women fighting against their CEO for their own reasons, but when it comes to powerful companies you give your little two cents then try to sweep it under the rug.
There should be hashtags, emails and a boycott until there is justice done. I for one I’m not stream any NJ until HYBE does what is right.
Almost every recognizable Asian female celebrity who got global recognition married a white male down the line. If you noticed, all these celebrity and luxury brand “social circles” are full of white people. And they love to invite Asian women but not Asian men. So I wouldn’t be surprised if sooner or later you’ll see it happen to BPink members who are allegedly global superstars, except for maybe Jisoo
That’s where the sheep are going. You joining?
