They may have been fully aware of where the phrase came from and used it to capitalize on WY's popularity. Or they had no idea and it's just a coincidence. In either case, they aren't really obligated to apologize because as you said, she doesn't own the phrase. But I'm sure Baskin Robbins doesn't want to deal with rabid kpop stans for the rest of their days.
Yupp.
Kpop stans can be brutal about the littlest of things so I get why Baskin Robbins would want to play it safe.
I have no problem with there being that many members (being a CARAT and all). I actually think its rather unique.
But the Korean fans do seem to have a problem with it. So yes I think that overall they would be more popular (in Korea specifically, seeing as their global presence isn't too strong) if they had less members.
Display MoreThing is, she pretty much invented the term indeed and the entire korea knows it.baskin robbins was profiting from it without paying her for something that is completely associated to her image.

Regardless. If she "invented" it (as you claim) then she should've gotten a patent or a trademark for it.
I wouldn't say that someone publicizing a phrase means that they "invented" it but okay.
never claimed to not love attention, feeds my soul tbh.
See? Now you get it. Loving attention is not bad for the most part. It is part of human nature.
That is undeniably true. Some companies will defend their idols but HYBE seems to be only one most prominent at exploiting their artists to protect their own public reputation and image.
Its not unreasonable to believe he meant that, its unreasonable to agree with him and believe him.
And the fact still stands that Daisy was using a direct quote with no interpretation and you were using the inferences that he wanted. Hes employing a classic bullying technique and you are eating it up
I dont agree with nor believe him. I know for a fact that there is a lot of information being withheld from the public.
Iconic to beg for someones attention while calling them obsessed. Love you for this
I love me too for this, so thank you.
It is also iconic of you stay silent after I rebutted your interruption of an argument that was not directed at you. But this is public forum after all so that would make everyone iconic which hardly does you any justice since you are the epitome of what I would call a coward ringing his bell against what could hardly be considered as a threat. My point? You are also an attention-seeker.
Stop trying so hard. It's extremely cringe.
I don't think you're worth the effort because I find your arguments to be full of ignorance, misinformation, fallacious logic and monstrously stupid conclusions.
The proof of that is your incorrect assumption about your status as a flagrant waste of time being correlated to being a Fearnot.
Very interesting choice of words, you have there.
I'm a try hard yet you are the one who has mentioned (or rather shaded) me outside of direct interaction.
You deem my arguments full of ignorance and misinformation yet you are the one who deviated from a decent argument (that was not directed towards you, btw) while fully neglecting the basis of discussion to using ad hominems as a means of execution of your insanely barbaric conclusions that lacked any explicit evidence.
Logic is--in part subjective--so you saying that I possess fallacious logic is really laughable when evidence and reasoning are both part of the justification of a logical claim yet you failed several times to conclude your statements with sound evidence.
Overall, I'm impressed. It takes real talent to be as self-absorbed as you.
I do not wish to be further associated with the likes of you that possess a thriving narcissistic personality disorder. Have a good day.
Despite the presence of this crazy horse, I'm enjoying the debate on a day where I'm content to just sit on the sidelines for once. Even if I completely disagree with the arguments being made by one party, at least we're allowed to express viewpoints without fear of censorship and moderation like a certain other platform.
That was not the serve you think it was, btw. Stop being obsessed.
Genuine Question: What is wrong with being a fearnot? Because you mentioned in an earlier post that was meant shade me that said something about me not being "worth the effort" because I am a fearnot.
Just wondering.
If it's for praise then I have no problem with it.
But in the case(s) where the comparison is used to assert that x is > y then I will fight until my fingers fall off from so much typing.
Asides from that, there should be no comparison at all because ultimately every group is different. Plus we've reached a point in the k-pop industry (or rather music industry in general) where that point of comparison is used in a way meant to demean other groups and throw shade simply because of the subjective opinion that x is better than y.
Meh its iffy tbh.
Going against HYBE would put them at a significant disadvantage (losing their IP, etc). But if they stay, they will be mistreated a lot more than previously.
Plus they have more support than most other groups.
I believe some of all this mess is simply PR but I maybe wrong.
Props to them for standing up for themselves so publicly, though. That's not something you see everyday.
Was the term trade-marked?
So why do they have to apologize?
Having a positive mindset is great but making it seem like she invented the term is silly imo.
Seeing as the article I quoted it from was about how ILLIT "reacted to the plagiarism accusations" then is it unreasonable to believe that his words (and phrasing of those words) could mean and involve the two things (Hanni's words and the hate ILLIT received from being labeled as a NJs copycat)?
After all, he said "They were especially shocked by the 'Ignore it' controversy."
Edit: saying "especially" implies that his point of reference was not the "Ignore it" controversy ONLY.
It's not what she should do it's what she should've done from the start which was to be calculative.
HYBE is a rich corporation that can obviously afford a powerhouse legal team and will sue the cap off her head. HYBE has all that money backing them. She should've made sure she had the financial capacity to take on such a massive entity.
How exactly should she have made sure of this?? Whether it would partnering with one of HYBE's rivals, I'm not sure but it would've helped her a lot if this happened.
I believe she should've waited just awhile longer to build her case and compile all the evidence. But she didn't and HYBE lashed out quickly to sweep her off her feet with a flurry of lawsuits and look where she is now.
