that whole post makes no sense

Sakura was already repping LV before NJ debuted. NJ have individual brand deals so they can't rep LV as a group, there'd be conflict of interest. You can't rep Gucci and LV at the same time. LSF's LV deal came long after NJ signed their individual brand deals with Dior, Gucci, Chanel etc. And Hyein has an individual brand deal with LV too.

wait aren’t you saying sakura was repping lv before nj debuted? and then the main deal came after?

in that case, going along w more claims about le ssera debuting first, my theory that if this is true it was a pre debut situation they were trying to work out. mhj is told she can’t work with LV groupwise bc HYBe wants sakura to use her connections at LV, she turns to other brands for individual deals , and then after NJ are off the table le ssera did a full group deal

Bubble Minji

There is nothing more disingenuous and off putting than Armys trying to be victims through all of this you guys are all pathetic. It strikes the same as rich people asking me to donate for them, stop being greedy

ok i am not a min hee jin stan but can we all stop calling her a pedophile?? i looked up her accusations and yeah she might fetishize young concepts (like every single artistic medium out there ) but she’s never been revealed to put her hands on a minor in anyway.

these are serious accusations with intense implications. i know friends who have been actually assaulted by older men, actually groomed, even i’ve had personal experiences. we should not be throwing around pedophile lightly, because it is a serious line to cross.

all producers in kpop fetishize youth. twice were also minors, it didn’t start w NJ. society fetishizes youth. i don’t think that’s a good thing. I DONT THINK ITS A GOOD THING.

but mhj has never had anyone victims come forward and say, she did this to me. she abused me. until then? let’s wonder why these accusations are only so serious against a woman. i’m serious. men do the same things but the serious label of pedophile sticks to mhj.

so i did some research and according to this article from a law firm, Music Sampling Rights: What You Need to Know — Romano Law

so if you *legally* want to use a sample you do need a license. But it gets more complicated, for example just like on youtube, the length of the sample really makes a difference.

and because music is protected under copyright law, it’s significant which portion of the song is being utilized. even if you only think that one section of easy is being used, that portion is recognizable enough to need to be licensed for.

I but honestly i would argue that what’s going on w Easy is barely a sample, and more like copying the musical composition. the beats have similar rhythms but are not the same, but the flow of the song follows the same track. either way, if they wanted to do it legally they would need a license.

i checked and the original creator isn’t credited (even though there’s a substantial amount of people attributed to easy), but i don’t know how to find licenses.

hmmm ador paid the girls very well didn’t she? well if they leave… couldn’t they hire her again? might be too conspiracy but maybe it was her master plan lol

if anything this has only shown how they are not a 'hive'

i meant for the mainline employees, esp the ones under labels closer to hybe rather than ador which has always tried to be distinct

i think the ppl are taking cult accusations too literally, too fire and brimstone. *lululemon* has also been exposed for having a cult like environment, one that likely formed naturally due to the nature of the workplace.

hybe is probably similar, with a hive mind mentality and an overwhelming work culture

ugh i don’t like jiyoon, zero idol vibes.

where does kendrick stand on the mhj hybe beef

unfortunately i’ve will never flop even when they deserve it. why have they been meh since love dive? baddie, all night, heya = so bland and uninteresting

I really am like… very well adjusted in my life and don’t really allow things to stress me but this situation is stressing me. I don’t like that after all this time of, honestly, waiting way too long for a comeback there’s lowkey a possibility that there may never be one.

I don’t care that the music, the vocals and the dances are all manufactured down to a science in kpop to make sure that a consistent product is released, but i do care that the behind the scenes are just the same. Like if their label drops them they just go home to their parents houses and its over. Theyre not idols anymore.

At least in the west i can rely that if say, Ariana Grande hates oh idk HYBE she can suddenly leave and keep her look, her sound, her music largely and still be an artist, just under another label. Even groups like Paramore have switched labels and even members and STILL its the same “Group”.

Idols have absolutely no rights to their property and its wild to me. Once you’re out (Jessica, Gfriend, etc.) youre done and you will never have a chance again because your label had so much power and took everything away.

It feels like I have nothing to personally invest in honestly and its gross.

i’m w you lowkey, minji fancam got me into kpop and i was prepared to love them and illit. now everything feels tainted

brb gonna listen to it again. doing my part!
