This situation is different from the NewJeans situation, because here there is an attempt to present the usual conditions of idols as extremely difficult. It is very difficult for a Western person to fit into the working conditions of the Korean system, I think it simply could not stand these conditions. Regarding suicide, well, it is not serious, a person can try to commit suicide only on the basis of a mental disorder, which does not depend on the environment, we do not know everything. In general, JYP is not a holy company like any of the BIG 3 and it is no secret that they have harsh working conditions, but I think JYP America is completely different, I hope they conduct inspections and fire the undesirables. KG I wish you success in the termination and further prosperity.

These are ordinary pop singers, some will be replaced by others, such is the cycle of this genre and believe me, many will not even remember their existence, no matter how much you want it. Either you create music inspiring others to develop the same direction, or you just make mainstream for the sake of streaming.

This is not k-pop, more like pop. I'm glad that Rosé decided to leave k-pop to realize her own talent.

The main question is, why does this Entertainment Federation not initiate checks inside HYBE? Or is the Internal HYBE Report something normal for this federation?

They just need to learn from Ukraine how to change the government. As for BTS, this is simply ridiculous, they are adults and are already serving in the military, they will do whatever they order, even if they cause harm to the protesters. If they refuse, there will be a military tribunal.

For some reason everyone has forgotten or ignored the fact that BSH's father works in the government in a high position, let's be honest. He already had support from the government, it's unlikely that the father would not help his son promote a group that has achieved such incredible success without anything. All these tales about success based on talent already look like a joke after revealing so much information.

No (?) like yge is still a big3 when they just have Treasure and baemon and their results aren't on pair with their "seniors", the same with Hybe if one day they be without BTS which I still doubt. They have lsfrm, illit, txt, Enhypen, katseye, SEVENTEEN (selling millions, big tour) etc, no?

YG created Big Bang, 2NE1, BlackPink - these are supergroups that are extremely popular, but what Hybe/BigHit created was only BTS. Even if you look at them now, apart from BTS and SVT, there are no really significant groups that make a significant contribution to the industry.

Congratulations to Aespa and G-Idle on their win.

I realized one thing after watching these award nominations. Everything that is not daesang is garbage, there is no criteria for awards at all. They simply award awards to everyone out of the blue.

fuck off Charlie, don't trigger me

Does this change the fact that IVE did not deserve this award?

Why did they give IVE an award? There were a lot of good videos this year that were better than theirs, even RV Cosmic surpasses them in quality.

It's funny, but NewJeans could have been the one to open the door to the Big 4 for Hybe, but now they're not.

They were always Big3, even when Hybe had BTS active. To be Big4 Hybe needs not one successful group, but at least several, but they just buy other groups, instead of creating something of their own.

Are you a child? All this hype was created only to attack MHJ, in this whole situation only Hybe is to blame for not conducting a proper investigation, but the victim attacked only MHJ. As a bonus, journalists wrote custom articles on this topic, making MHJ the culprit of everything, now it makes no sense, so the topic has exhausted itself.

BSH just needs to create not groups, but BJ models for streaming.

So they are not doing well with BG, TXT and Enhypen have average popularity, sometimes you even forget about their existence against the background of Stray Kids, Riize, NCT, Ateez. BTS and Seventeen are the only thing they have, in the end Hybe remained a small agency, even buying up a large number of labels.

how come Whiplash is a hit when it’s the same song concept

Is it a matter of concept? The fact is that Crazy is a track with minimal lyrics and this is after the scandals about the vocals. As I said earlier, the music does almost all the work, having Le Sserafim in there doesn't make sense, even more they harm the track. The Instrumental version is much better and would have been a better title.

Comparing male and female groups by popularity is at least strange, the popularity of male groups =/= the popularity of female groups, simply because male groups will always be more popular in terms of fandom, since almost the entire fandom there is made up of girls, while female groups often have male fans. Let me take myself as an example, I listen to Nmixx more often than StrayKids, and I listen to them 2-3 albums once a week, occasionally watching some shows. I have a friend who constantly watches and listens to Straykids, nevertheless +1 nmixx fan vs +1 StrayKids fan. The difference in gender fandom is very important.

There are Aespa and NewJeans, and the rest of which includes IVE. Their popularity has dropped significantly compared to last year, yes, of course, they had a good tour, but all the success of the tour was recorded in Japan and Korea. But as always, their success raises more questions, for example, in the fan voting they had extremely low results, compared to, for example, NewJeans, Le Sserafim, G-idle.

Yes, it's normal, I think it's done on purpose to protect the main nominations from artificial K-pop streaming. By the way, this is the very window to the West for K-pop that some people like to be proud of.
