I can’t pinpoint which song it took inspiration from, it sounds really familiar.
And I love their unique fits, one of a kind
Yeah it's got a very familiar sound, but something older. Early 2000's

Btw, How come she's being boss bitch but everyone in Ador still support her?
Fear... Money... Being on her good side is a better option than being on her bad side?
Pretty sure, given how Korean power structures AND corporate power structures work, MHJ (or any CEO really) can easily break and destroy the lives of underlings that cross them. Why risk it?
It's been theorised that traits linked to psychopathy exists in 1% of the total population, but are heavily represented in upper management/high level leadership roles, up to 4-14% (source dependent) of them.
The first three paragraphs of this article are pretty interesting:
The Psychopathic CEOWhen it comes to the corporate world, non-violent, corporate psychopaths are not running from the law, but instead, rushing to the executive suite.www.forbes.comThe whole article is interesting, when it discusses a CEO with psychopathic traits being full of charm, lacking empathy, being narcissistic and quick to anger, and have little regard for the consequences of their actions.

I just want to say I'm shocked that "cunty" was being used in that context way back in 2014. I thought "cunty" was a rather new use of the c-word

I also kind of think that fans, when lacking content and appearances from their favourites, feel mistreated. They aren't getting enough content that they want. Similar to how fans of online service games feel mistreated if there isn't constant new content being added, who also feel mistreated by game devs.
But, instead of personalising the feeling of mistreatment, which may look selfish or entitled, fans instead project their own feelings of being mistreated by a label due to lack of content onto the idols themselves. It's not ME the fan being mistreated, no, the idol is being mistreated by not making more content that I, the fan, will ultimately be consuming.

So because I can, I actually went to the site that has pagejacked the domain.
Surprisingly it's NOT providing prostitution services. At least not in the way that hysterical fans and certain bad faith akp members are portraying it as. It's NOT a "book an escort", delivery health or soapland site. It's actually pretty far from it.
It instead seems to be an informational site with articles for women who are interested in working in various sex work aligned, but not QUITE sex work, areas.
To quote the site (translated):
QuoteGFRIEND is a lifestyle media that provides information to help women live vibrantly and true to themselves. We will deliver information on side jobs, lifestyle, and dating.
And even then, theres two sections. One is mostly a listing of reviews of various "chat lady" websites with how much you can earn, pay structure etc. If you've ever wondered if you need to file a tax return in Japan if you're a "chat lady", this site will help! The other is a similar review set of various Japanese "papakatsu" (sugar daddy) services, again from womens perspective. Hilariously, there's an article on how profitable it is to sell... certain kinds of.... toys... at flea markets (spoiler: it is, but you have to deal with some weird customers and questions).
I've included translated screenshots behind this spoiler, so you can see the types of articles on it. I have blurred two risque pictures (one for the flea market article and one for an article about working the bar at a "happening bar", aka a Japanese swingers club)
Now the other weird thing about this site is that the last article was published almost a year ago, August 21, 2023. So it's kind of inactive.
I also noticed theres no ads on the website, even with adblock/ublock turned off. So it's not like they are even relying on pagejacking to get eyes there to gat ad profits. My malware bytes didn't detect anything untowards.
It's a somewhat inactive informational site for women who might want to work in not quite sex work in Japan, or get a sugar daddy. It doesn't seem to be at all capitalising on the GFRIEND name.
What does all this mean?
I don't know.
Seems to be a strange site to be cybersquatting. Usually cybersquatting is a lot more nefarious. Diverting people to a fake site to malware, data harvest, blast with dodgy ads etc etc. Or to troll... buying a recently expired domain name to direct visitors to something trollish.
But thats not the case here.
Whois searches don't really glean much info about when any changeover happened. Only that there was last an update on the domain name on 2024/02/0. So ages ago. So how long has this gone unnoticed?
