I’m confused why she’s threatening to beat her ass now, but not then when the situation was actually happening?
I mean......
She was bullied...
If she could stand up to herself back then, she wouldn't have been bullied...
However it seems that now she has other people that have spoken up, now she feels empowered
A person may feel weak as an Individual but when they realise they are not alone then it's a chance to have courage
Ahhh.... Yang Hyun Suk huh?
Who is kim shin young?
Arguably the most relevant Female MC in South Korea for Kpop Idols, she's also a Radio DJ that has had basically every big name Kpop Idol on her Show. She's a Comedian by trade and tends to stan GGs.
Having Back Up Dancers is a good test to see if the Singers can at least outperform them.
엔하이픈
En hi peun
It's a 3 syllable word...
Although there is no "F" sound in Korean, a correct English equivalent would be
En Hi Pin
Neutral is the ultimate form of disinterest :P
Interesting since weight gain is a known side affect but I guess she could have had a bout of diarrhea which can cause weight loss
Those numbers represent a career of hard work and long hours....
In 2022, TWICE will be aiming for their 6th consecutive year selling over a million Physicals in South Korea and Japan. They are currently sitting at 450k after the release of #TWICE4.
It is more accurate to say the China Government banned Fan Events that raised and/or spent money on advertising their Kpop favorites.
Buying Albums or Official Merchandise is fine however some China Media and Social Network companies also targetted that and began banning Fan Groups or restricting Album Sales to 1 for their Charts.
The China Government is unlikely to really push to ban Kpop especially as the get paid Tax for it
Naturally, it's the classic case of how influential Korean Parents are and how bitchy Kpop really is.
It's your classic KDrama script
The only other possibility is there are some new stores that are Hanteo tracked like foreign stores that don’t have Gaon tracked Korean shipment
Yup most Kpop fans are unaware as they don't understand how HANTEO or GAON work.
HANTEO
* Sales to customers anywhere in the World that have Retailers registered to their System.
* It tracks whom bought the Albums from the Retailer not whom the Retailers bought the Album from
GAON
* Sales to Retailers by Distributors through registered GAON Companies
* Companies of the Singers will generally not declare Distributions, it's here that discrepancies arise
Usually when HANTEO numbers are close to GAON numbers it means
* A huge amount of Sales outside South Korea
* One of the Distributor/s involved is not registered with GAON ++
* The Company of the Singer is selling the albums directly to the Retailers
++ This is usually the case when a company uses a Non-Korean Distributor for handling Retail Sales outside South Korea, while having a Korean Company handling their Local Distributions
It's not odd at all if it's YGE that's distributing the Albums which is very likely.
YGE, SME and JYPE do not report any sales to GAON that they distribute, this was shown with NMIXX's first month sales where HANTEO reported around 60k more than GAON, but makes sense as those Albums were what was initially pre-sold as a Special even before the group had their name.
The main reason that Companies don't report sales to GAON is due to suspicion of sajaegi, so they use 3rd party Distributors that are registered to GAON.
Anyway, it's not usual for SME and YGE HANTEO albums to be very close or sometimes more than their GAON Sales, this is due to the companies gettin paid more if they distribute the albums themselves rather than using a 3rd party
Yep...
More and More was released in June 2020
Taste of Love was released in June 2021
So you're definitely on to something
Except you got it wrong, it's not the Produce Privilege, it's the MNet Privilege where the Contestants on Produce got a free ride into Television
If it wasn't for PD48, Lee Chaewon, Sakura and Huh Yunjin wouldn't have got into HYBE and no, I don't consider HYBE a company at the level of the Big 3 if they can't even train their own Females.
Perhaps it will occur, but for now, the Big 3 are in their own league when it comes to Girl Group success
In law, this means you can act independently (e.g., enter into contracts w/o parents' consent). *19 if the year in which you turn 20 has already commenced.
So let's correct you again...
Under Korean laws it's Guardian not Parents due to the need to cover for Orphans and Solo Guardian's
But In Korea law it is based by lunar age which mean if you have born last day of December, you can become adult almost year faster compared to person who have born January 1?
South Korean Law does NOT use Lunar Age for their Laws

I'm so impressed with NMIXX's O.O because it's a song that showed Vocal and Dance Variety with different Music Genre and Choreo that I've not seen from any JYPE group so far that O.O was like a Teaser to their Career.
I just check on google and you are wrong. "if the year in which you turn 20 has already commenced."
In Korea, the age of majority is 19 (int'l age, not Korean age). You're an adult once you turn 19. In law, this means you can act independently (e.g., enter into contracts w/o parents' consent). *19 if the year in which you turn 20 has already commenced.
So let's clarify something, there is no such thing as International Age, it's Date of Birth which applies to every where. Also there is no such thing as Korean Age because it is Lunar Age which originates from China.
Under the Lunar calendar, you can be 1 year older than a person that is born in the same year, this is naturally impossible based on date of birth which is why I've been saying that's it's based on date of birth.
So my original comment was asking if the members were 19 years or older which was answered :)
Well their international age is 19+ too if that is what you want to know.
Where are you going with this?
I know what you're getting at but....
When talking about Kpop Groups, under Korean law, 19 year olds are adults from their birth date, which is also age of Majority or when they aren't a Minor.
I'm from NZ so an Adult, under Law is when you have your 20th birthday based on your date of birth.
But through all this discussion, I still don't know the date of births' of the members to claim they are adults under Korean Law.
