Quote from kingkook

I don't see how JYP is "protecting her" by not mentioning the reason, unless she commited a serious crime. Day by day, the rumours are getting worse and their actions aren't helping either. This will only make it harder for to rebounce back as an idol. And if did commit a serious crime, she wouldn't come back as an idol anyways so telling the reason seems like the best option.

unless she’s quite sick, there can’t be much to reveal that people would accept as a good reason for Jinni to leave

Dating - disastrous

Bullying - disastrous

Conflict with members - disastrous

Crime - disastrous

Physically Sick - breach of confidentiality

Exhaustion - dicey but people could just say it was a cover up

It might be better to keep quiet but confirm nothing

Quote from bangmenah

Why does this look like its 85 usd

considering it’s coming out of the same area in Gangnam as the Gentle Monster store, I’m fully expecting it to cost around that

posting because I might be able to try some and report back on how it tastes

i think for western audiences they evoke a horror vibe because that's the media that makes it out of SK, but most locals dont seem to focus on it being scary or anything. Ditto has 2 MV's too so it might change up

Quote from Golden_Wishes

What I'm learning from the SG: Danielle is an artsy A Type. Haerin straight up doesn't care. Minji also doesn't care but in a cool way, Hanni is the sweetheart and Hyein is just a loud lovable menace lmao

Hyein is SUCH a menace, she pulls the maknae card esp with Minji and Dani, while Hanni seems to just enable her because she enjoys the chaos. Haerin is genuinely on her own separate trip a lot of the time too, it's adorable, but sometimes you'll get surprising outbursts of energy from her

what about increasing the price of badges? that's sort of what people do with inflation IRL

Quote from Bpsosoro

Isn’t two months too long?… two whole months without pay is not cute

that's what I;m saying, this is really eye opening that people are surprised that 2 months is seen as too soon compared to other groups

Quote from thelightoftruth

Personally, I would go with a base salary + bonus pay scheme. Scaling and increasing over time.

As a random example I made up in 2 secs;

Rookie year - min salary + 10-30% of profit from each activity, sale, endorsement etc split between members. Percentage of profit from solo works is further split 90% between all members and the remaining 10% to the soloist.

Year 2 - salary increases by 3-15% depending on success, percentage of profit goes up 2-5%, solo work split 85-15%

Final year of contract - salary has increased each year depending on success, percentage of profit goes up to 60-80% as the artist is usually now bigger than the agency. Success of group determines how high the split it. Solo works now split 50-50 as the individual is less reliant on group.

Ultimately, all idols under me get a living wage, increases based on success, and by sharing a percentage of profit, the business covers its costs first. Relatively fair as the agency gets more in the beginning when they need to invest, and the artists gets more later when they no longer really need the agency to stay relevant.

this is really nice, i like the built in scaling the most

Quote from neigl

If you mean Boy group with BG i would kick them and replace them with a Girl group. If the group is Brave Girls i would give them 80%. If its another random group i would give them 20%-40%. 😂

please tell me they got paid well after Rollin

maybe add a pay-what-you-want tier to AllKill so that people can pay above the minimum amount should they feel like it

Quote from anti-hero

Is there any way we can gift allkill? I think it’s a great gift for our friends, and helps akp out financially too

if helping out AKP is something people wanna do, then a donate button makes sense. some people don't value the membership or the badges but if they value the site in some intangible way then they should have a way to show their appreciation

Quote from proudorbit

Umm, a little confused by what you mean "show of power"

but i guess after the comeback, idk what's gonna happen to music shows...that's scaring me a bit...but we hope BBC will see how low everything is and give Orbits and the girls what we wanted...but idk if it will happen

Thank's 3ne

"show of power" means that you're reminding BBC that the fans keep the company alive, so by boycotting the company you destroy them

i hope LOONA's contracts make it so that the girls dont get dragged down with BBC, I hope orbits know that they're getting into

Quote from proudorbit

The goal really was Zero of everything, just like the name of the album itself

and i cried reading those comments for awhile cause i always loved seeing Orbits do everything they can to put Loona ontop, but now we doing the opposite, but ik its for the best

so i guess the goal is to not get or watch anything from BBC officially, and if we really wanna stream any of the music, pirate it or unofficial channel

i get this part, like it's a full boycott, but what's the plan after? is it a show of power against BBC against mistreating the group??

Quote from bartkun

asd.webp

if this graph is true, then kpop idols possibly have the highest profit margins of any music industry worldwide. most western artists can expect 10-15% of profits

Quote from proudorbit

but ik its all worth for Loona's freedom

what's the fandom's goal here, im genuinely curious.

Quote from quarkie

The reason people don’t pay for akorns isn’t because it’s easy to get them for free… it’s because they don’t see the value in putting money into the site. You can remove free akorns completely and that’s still not going to change because to most people the only things of “value” to spend akorns on are tiny pictures and gifs and it’s entirely possible to use this site just fine without those.

Site management (not you) has continued to make it abundantly clear that they don’t actually care about building a community or most of the users who frequent this site so why would I want to contribute money to that in the form of buying akorns? If the site doesn’t care if I’m here then why do I care if the site is here?

i think taking anons away was a good step in the right direction, because anons generated a bunch of negative clout without generating akorns or a sense of community, and just left people feeling quite bad about their site experience overall

a donation feature is genuinely a good idea if it doesn't cost too much (in labour or actual $$$) to implement. Some of us don't like managing a subscription

edit: would publicizing some sort of quarterly/monthly donations goal (like Patreon does) or creating a sitewide bonus for paid akorn generation be viable?
