Wait, WTF is this comment?!

Scooter Braun is Jewish, but this comment must be mistranslated, the Jew stereotype is not that they are unintelligent as it seems to imply, on the contrary, the stereotype that they are smart and greedy is also know in Korea, in fact I remembered some years ago a case involving Samsung

"Last Sunday, writer Kim Ji-ho chimed in on the Samsung-Elliott dispute: “Jews are known to wield enormous power on Wall Street and in global financial circles … It is a well-known fact that the US government is swayed by Jewish capital."

Spat Between Samsung and NYC Hedge Fund Takes Nasty Detour Into Jew-Baiting

Elliott Management CEO Paul Singer has been attacked by Samsung backers in Korea via shocking anti-Semitic illustrations because ‘Jewish money has long been…

hyKGBe much?

Woman managers of male idols are sometimes referred to as "manager nunas" by the fans, because that's how the idols themselves call them. Same logic for male managers.

Does the same happens with girl groups then? do male fans call female managers "manager unnie" or "manager oppa" for males?

It's there proof that the person who made this post is really the youtuber? And why create a second channel Youtube has a team that should handle account hacking and getting the channel back, I know some big youtubers got their accounts hacked before and made into crypto currency scams promotions using Elon Musk deepfake or similar

Quote from Disturbia

"No but it's the first time in my entire life that I've ever been searched in my bra, even my mom doesn't touch there, my breasts were touched by those fan manager nunas......"

"searched in my bra" "touched by those fan manager nunas"? Was this person a male wearing a bra?

Because thats the only dude they dealt with. From the sounds of it JHJ dropped money for them and left every aspect of the management to the Givers. It's easy to make Attrakt into a bogeyman to scare them into toeing the line and doing work when they aren't fit.

'Hate something? blame JHJ he's making me force you guys to do this, he's pushing you to go back to work, he's the reason everything has gone wrong and look how good we are at looking after you, we'd take much better care of you. etc.' - especially when they are so young and their families presumably have no experience in the industry. The members were nugu and barely did any idol work so they didn't even have time to make many idol friends and get the lo-down on these kinds of things.....

The members parents might have a role in this situation too, they might have gotten a big head with some bad advice from them

Quote from nana18

Honestly I still don't get, let's say their contract is unfavorable for them at least wait till you make money to actually prove that, it took loona 6 years before taking any legal actions against their company that's how they were able to end their contract and have the public side with them

They got too greedy after getting into Billboard so fast, seems they started thinking they were already a big group rather than possibly another one hit wonder

The impression I have is that in SK, even if Kazuha's fancam views are lower now she is still the one who makes the most buzz among casuals and Sakura has the biggest dedicated fandom, so it's the same as back in the group debut

Quote from wsoet

• Like Eunchae, Yunjin also had a bad start. Did people not like her because she's from the US? Were her visuals too "Western"? She really didn't show much improvement until Unforgiven promotions, so again, is there a reason for this?

As far as I know she is pure Korean, even if she might not fit best SK's beauty standards, I don't think saying they don't like her because her visuals is too "Western" makes sense, I would think that possibly her americanized personality makes more sense as a reason

Will Fifty Fifty even amount to anything in a few months?

Quote from plasticrose

do u think yg let go of taeyang? no i don't think so. Blackpink will renew thinking about their solo careers this time. We'll see if they can hold on to all 4 of them even if they hold on to blackpink brand.

Do you think it's a coincidence only G-Dragon renewed the contract? He was the only one that truly mattered in BIGBANG not just for his solo career but for the entire YG brand as a company, and "yg let go of taeyang"? he just moved with Teddy right next door

Quote from killingtime1934

the only normal ones have been winner, akmu and ikon who all stay as group/duo inside or outside yg and those are the only cases I can compare it

Funny you mention AKMU, because it's not like they really need YG, sure they probably get some benefits from the company but they are not even idols and all their songs are already self produced anyway yet they choose to renew saying “We did not ever consider leaving YG”

Quote from Dreamer95

I feel like in the end it will be nothing but a sentence cut out of context, cuz YG got mad over some performance or something like that.

That makes sense. When he was announcing the mission to all of them in this EP, he just said that he hadn't decided how many members will debut, they didn't show the part in the teaser where he says BM will never be a 7 member group

Prettty sure there are much more dedicated GGs fans in Korea than in the international side. Easy to see why, outside of Korea most K-POP fans are female, and even a lot of the male international fans are gay men types who follow female pop stars like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande etc

What? First he says "Are you enjoying the show?" and then either him or the parents respond "Am I profitable?" this does not make sense to me, probably a translation issue. Anyway the old asians parents joke is played out already

Also wasn't iKon debut show Mix & Match supposed to be about them competing on who was going to debut, but in the end they kept all the original members and added 1 new member to the lineup

Well this was pretty confusing. First thing I thought, is that this was a test to put pressure on them and see how they come out, but who knows really. I remember back in Treasure Box, he also said to the trainees that the final group would be 5-7 members maximum but then after the end of the show they announced two divisions Treasure(7 members) and Magnum(6 members) which was supposed to form Treasure 13

i have been streaming my faves all day. but it does hurt my feelings that hybe are gonna profit from them from now on.....

Not all hope is lost to you yet, wait for SM board response and Kakao might yet answer it

Even Korean songs sung by Koreans with like one or two Japanese words that most people might not even recognize get banned by networks like KBS.

They banned a SHINee's Jonghyun song in his last album for having some Japanese lyrics, you would think they would open a exception since it was posthumously released as a tribute to him

Quote from nana18

If hybe gives him some solo activities he will definitely be contender for it boy status, for Niki i know that he won't be an it boy in korea but i expected him to have much more popularity à la Momo and Lisa

Just some weeks ago, I saw a video on Twitter of Niki in a airport in Korea, somebody says something like why are you so handsome, but then someone else says but he is ugly and they all laughed right in front of him. If that is how he is treated by his own fandom in Korea...

Even BTS does not get the same playlisting as NJ, why would you expect them to give it to TXT?

Not a good example. Disney finances have not been that great in recent times, partially because of spending money with purchases like FOX. The shareholders are not happy, back in November there was even news saying that multiple insiders including a former top exec believed that Bob Iger(Disney CEO) wanted to sell the company to Apple. They just announced a planned firing of 7000 people

Quote from Selynn

Nationality does not matter, other members of the group are not adults. I can't see anyone under 18 taking the lead. The girl has charisma, which I can easily see in the leadership position.

Of course it matters, you don't know how nationalistic Korea is? Foreign members in general get less promotions in groups, many of them barely get lines in songs. But at least I don't think YG cares about that, the Japanese members of Treasure seem to get a good treatment compared to the lack of respect in other groups
