I’m had to deal with my gf crying for half an hour now. This is really sad, he didn’t even do anything wrong. In fact, he was a victim. It’s messed up.
When you posts like this, you know why KPOP is considered a joke, this guy debuted yesterday practically. The parasocialness is crazy
"Nobody talked about muslim" really? Didn't you see that the poster you replied was a reply to anothr poster saying they changed her name because of the meaning in arabic? And you also ended up giving the same reason as bartkun for the change to a stage name, great "dumbest comment" post
And when did I say they were YG acts? The fact Sunmi was never in YG nor The Black Label actually makes Teddy producing for her more noteworthy
Just BP and Somi? He did songs for Sunmi. He already is slow to release just with BP and Somi and you expect him to produce for everybody in YG plus The Black Label and now he has I-LAND 2 also coming.
How about you start checking before posting?, he did 2 B-sides for iKON plus the Mino and Bobby subunit MOBB songs.
And again with this deal with HYBE. He has a deal with MNET/CJ ENM, what deal he has with HYBE? The only connection with HYBE he has as far as I know is that they both use YG PLUS for album distribution, Somi is not even on Weverse despite the deal they have with YG.
Im sure knetz know that too, but its "easier" to blame Bang, since hes the head if everything you could say
Different than what some interpreted, I think the original poster was complaining that he is neglecting his current groups in pursuit of his international agenda. So OP wishes that Bang paid more attention to HYBE's current groups
These types of award voting are certainly interesting, everybody should already know that girl group fandoms are weak against boy groups, but is the difference between BTS and Stray Kids fandom really that low? It's barely a 1% percent difference currently in that site.
LYW is to me the most impressive one, he is currently 9th in a worldwide based voting with basically no international fandom to speak of.
pffftttt dumbass he couldn't even get off a minor charge like blackmail
LSM would never be caught with something like that!!!
Not blackmail but LSM did get convicted in a embezzlement case.

Idk where y’all are getting this because i resd that he has 6 months of prison time AND 1 year of probation
does any Korean source says it exactly like that?
You could just have searched for yourself but I went and found a an actual reputable Korean news site in english for you
YG Entertainment founder gets suspended jail term
just goes to show the incompetence and reliability of certain sites, even Asianjunkie who from what I remember does not even try to present itself as a serious site, actually translated correctly
*I have been writing “probation” for these types of sentences for years now, since that’s how it’s described by Korean media. However, that has led to a lot of confusion for even “serious” news sites when reporting on these things, and suspended sentence is probably the more accurate international way to view these punishments, so I’ll switch to that unless that’s more confusing.
Note: It’s also funny/sad/worrying that out of all the major “news” sites covering this story, the most accurate translation I found was from Jasmine Media, which has less than 1000 followers on Twitter.
6 months this is nothing, probably gonna be out after 3-4 months. After all drama, i think he is ok with that.
Finally!
Sad it's only 6 months
only 6 months. damn
I recommend some users look up the meaning of probation and suspended sentence.
Instead, he was sentenced to one year of probation, with six months in prison should he violate probation.
akmu is a sporadic surprise, u think they will do well and they do bad and vice versa
their advantage is that they aren't idols so they won't suffer the same predictable faith of ive and nj
Right, even if their next song is not as successful as their current one, the one after could easily be. Not like recent girl groups who have enjoyed the top for a while until the next debuting group comes and steals their thunder
I also noticed recently that Chanhyuk is even doing iPhone ads for LG U+, while normally only those who fit the visual standard get such deals
Many Asian American artists have tried to find success within the United States alone, and none of them are close to the success or popularity level of these K-pop acts. You have to think about that.
Have you read the interview?
Q: Is the girl group audition project being conducted with Universal Music Group a solution to this?
A: As I said at the Kwanhun(?) Club, it is one of various tactics. We need to expand our target to people from various countries and then introduce K-pop through artists other than Korean or Asian origins.
With the terrible birthrate the Korean market is gonna continue to shrink and he seems to think that SEA has already stagnated so the situation will become more dire, SK also have big political issues with neighboring countries that shown up every couple of years.
I wonder if J.Y Park agrees with him seeing he has VCHA who is similar to Dream Academy
The 7th Coalition against KPop will probably be decisive. Is KPop prepared for it? Given the way Bang is behaving, probably not.
Mr. Bang seems to think the answer is not to defeat this "Coalition" but rather to end KPOP in surrender and join them removing the K from KPOP
I guess he is a fan of the old saying "if you can't beat them, join them"
I'm glad BTS will turn down their government using them for money while they are forced to serve but basement dwellers playing games all day get to skip enlistment.
I agree "basement dwellers" should serve if they are able bodied and no more celebrities making military service some kind of easy part time job where they do some song and dances.
Random low-mid Japanese groups doing KPop dances it's nothing new, call me when it's the other way around
The only explanation that makes sense is that they are waiting for Yang's trial to be over
I just checked and Thai nationals have visa free entry in SK, if they are really going as tourists stricter immigration control shouldn't affect tourism
I am sure there many teenagers looking for what they think it's an easy way to stardom especially the ones who let's say have some trouble studying in school. But how many of these supposed 1 Million trainees are either talented enough or marketable or even have the necessary mental drive to succeed in the cutthroat business enough to debut?
Allegedly already Korean boys would rather be part of the Korean Hip Hop scene than become idols or just become some Youtuber or similar.
QuoteMaybe the declining birth rate will mean the machine gets less material to chew.
Then again, as they go global, there are people from all over Asia wanting to sign up, more bodies for the machine.
The fans and companies won't accept foreigners taking over unless there is some big change in SK. Especially considering most of those countries they either consider inferior or have political problems with like CH/JP
