If true, in term of mentors' popularity, this is a big upgrade from the last season. I'm pretty sure that Jeff, Violette and Ray don't dance. Hmmh.
Newjeans/Jeanz should never have "gratefulness"-based relationship with the embodiment of capitalism that is Hybe. Still, they are too in-the-bubble to understand that the idol industry, that the world is moved by this heartless capitalism. Without capitalism, there were no investment for the formation of Newjeans. The girls need to wake up and see that all is fine as long as it is in line of fair give-and-take. Newjeans is yet to recognize what it has taken from Hybe.
A pedophilic criminal took a cottage amidst a vast area of paddy fields as his hideout. This gave him superb visionary. Inspired by popular game Pubg, metro police officers disguised themselves as piles of weeds crawling 300 m through muddy fields to approach him.
Previously, a metro police officer put on wrestler costume to arrest a rapist.
The metro police used a spy to contact the culprit. The culprit was a foreigner without fixed domicile so, it was difficult to pinpoint his place of living. Via the spy, he demanded he wanted a double couple sex with 2 women and a man in wrestler suit. Capt. Theeradej volunteered as he looked most wrestler-like.
I don't think her shaman can move the government. A cult on the other hand can, but that's HYBE's thing.
the divinity can!
There is an ongoing fraud case in my country and, it may mirror the business model of HYBE.
Dr. Boon, a famous businessman and a physician has been charged of fraud. He proposed a lucrative investment, a new giant medical center. That center has never been materialized and he has fled out of the country. The damage is estimated to be over 10 billion THB (over 290m USD).
A man who used to be Dr. Boon's chief financier revealed he quit after he was sure something illegal was going on. Dr. Boon was operating various healthcare businesses and, the overall management was indeed in debt. So, there must be some kind of external income to cover the deficit to keep the businesses running. He asked around what this external income was, where it came from but, noone gave him the answer. He could tell that external income was of illegal source.
Now that Dr. Boon reportedly was charged of fraud, he got the answer. Dr. Boon proposed a fake megaproject and used investors' money to cover the loss of his business management.
Dr. Boon grew his business through acquisition. Acquisition can be tricky as some grave problems may be hidden under pretty surface. Who will sell his profitable company in a cheap price? Some businesses Dr. Boon acquired must have some hidden problems and he did not care. He just wanted the image of rapid growth to scam investors and covered the business loss with investment money.
Of course, he, a physician, alone cannot commit a fraud of such scale. Such fraud is only possible with the help from professional broker and auditor.
She's real, not AI generated nor doctored. She's Eva from Chiangmai Night Safari who recently got famous for how un-fierce she looked. A meme linking her to Wonyoung got popular.
Eva's different hair color makes her a very rare "strawberry tiger". This is the work of a recessive gene.
Thai Oil, oil refinery state enterprise of Thailand, has an ongoing mega project, its new plant in Chonburi. The contractor of this project is UJV, the consortium led by Samsung E&A Thailand, apparently an affiliate of a South Korean conglomerate. UJV won the deal bidding lowest at 100 billion THB (roughly 4 trillion won).
Of course, the project of this scale involves multiple sub-contractors and, these sub-contractors have been on strike as they have not been paid for over 6 months.
The problem stems from UJV bidding too low. The estimated cost of this project was somewhere between 140 billion to 160 billion THB. It is assumed that UJV just wanted to get the deal by all means and meant to negotiate for additional fee later. Indeed, UJV did ask for 800 m USD more using COVID as excuse and Thai Oil has granted 550 m.
The delayed opening of the plant is inevitable at this point and estimated damage is multiple billion THB. Meanwhile, the registered capital of Samsung E&A Thailand is meager 12 million THB. Other partners in UJV are Saipem and Petrofex. Saipem apparently has been out of business due to bankruptcy. Petrofex is a special purpose company, opened just to get this project. So, these 2 other partners do not seem to be reliable one bit.
A question is how came UJV was qualified for this mega project. Did not Thai Oil run background check on project bidders? Rumor has it that the deal was finalized through the certain lobbyistwho led PTT, another energy state enterprise, to disastrous oil palm investment in Indonesia.
Sub-contractors revealed to the journalist that their contracts with UJV was disadvantageous. They could only sue UJV for contract violation to a tribunal court in a Common Wealth country. They signed anyway only because this was the only big project of a state-own entity during COVID period. Almost every single construction contractors and suppliers in the eastern area of the country have taken parts in this project and, if the overdue payment is not paid, thousands employees will be laid off.
A sub-contractor notified the journalist that 97% progress had been recorded but the reality was far from that, for example, the air-conditioning system was recorded "finished" but only the machine was put in place, the pipe and the power cord had not been connected. Sub-contractor had no mean to know how much Thai Oil had paid UJV, 97% or lower.
Thai Oil informed its shareholders this was a dispute between UJV, the contractor, and sub-contractors, Thai Oil had paid its part, had paid to UJV, it was sole liability of UJV to pay sub-contractors. And, if they would be any damage to Thai Oil, Thai Oil would redeem the 12 billion THB worth bank guarantee and ask for indemnity from South Korean Samsung, who submitted guarantee letter.
Sub-contractors found filing the case in a Common Wealth country too complicated, too time-consuming thus, they decided to circumvent the contract clause. 30 sub-contractors have reported UJV and Samsung E&A Thailand of fraud, seeking indemnity through criminal case. Also, they have requested South Korean embassy to step in.

I think the sucess, payload aside, is just what happens when a song is viral. The song is simply more viral than the members, it's to a point where I've heard it while shopping and it's reminiscent of both Cupid and Any Song. The song is an earworm. However, outside of Moka going viral for being really cute, there hasn't been much about the members.
Their first comeback will be more telling imo, as it seems that right now there's mostly casual listeners and a small fanbase from runext and their debut.
But, Cupid success is not completely natural. At least, it was heavily bloated with playlisting.
Neither the song being viral explains the astonishing physical sale.
Do you seriously believe all articles about Moka so cute and Wonhee so pretty are organic?
I don't think illit's success(?) is organic and is largely effect of HYBE's payola. You have one chart-topping group whose members nobody cares. My theory is HYBE faking up illit's success to discredit Newjeans/Min Heejin.
What happens if mhj isn't asked to resign by the board on 30th April? Can they force her out or is it going to take a court case to force her out?
On similar lines, what if NJ wants to leave hybe? Can mhj end their contract directly or will it require hybe's approval?
An article from business point read that it would not be easy to remove MHJ from Ador as all board members of Ador were on her side. MHJ could possibly terminate NJ's contract but she would face hefty fine for damaging HYBE's business doing so without approval.
I'll say the public opinion won't matter IF the court case rules in favor of MHJ. Because right now she's getting hit by every Ifans there is- due to whatever scenarios those fans can think of, and if the case ruled against her and NJs, then it will be extremely hard for NJ to come back at all. You need people to buy your albums.
Now if the case ruled in favor of her, all these drama and hate she received will all die down and you will see a change in tone from Ifans that they have always believed in her. Lmfao. How many times do we see this throughout KPOP.
But if we're just purely talking about legality to court, then evidence comes first.
So, you believe one does not need promotion platform to sell album? Even if HYBE do not directly pressure outlets, I wonder if any of them dare to contact a small label under HYBE's grudge.

These 2 are best visuals in the whole show? Neither is my cup of tea but, I can see the one on top being well-received in Korea. Her face looks alike Kazuha and Winter were merged. The other looks alike Gowon and Haewon were meshed.
So, you are telling me this whole show only has 1 pretty girl and is not popular?
overall if you know so much about AKB then which members are currently most popular in Japan?
Yukirin (Kashiwagi Yuki) but, she's leaving the group. The runner up is Yuiyui (Oguri Yui), the girl in stripped dress and black cap at 0:37. Other outstanding ones popular wise are Yuiri (Murayama Yuiri - the girl with black jacket at 0:44) and Naru (Kurano Narumi - the short girl in stripped hat at 0:37)
Beautiful! But she has always been beautiful with a great voice and good skills re song writing.
FYI to all - Songkran is actually Thai New Years and not just the water festival. The water festival is a part of the celebrations here and started from the water purification beliefs to start the new year anew etc. So it is more than a water festival for Thai people, like time to go home and spend with family, visit your elders, and Buddhist merit activities.
FYI, Songkran is not actually "Thai". The term "Songkran" derived from Sanskrit word "Sangkranti" meaning "transition" and, 14th April is the new year accordingly to Indo-European astrological calendar (the day the sun moves to Aries). "Tai" authentic new year based on Tai lunar calendar (ขึ้น ๑ ค่ำ เดือนอ้าย). The date may be set after the Indian but the way it is celebrated may not as there is nothing like songkran in India. (The Indian has "Holi", which is different.) There is no record, no hard evidence how the Siamese celebrated the new year before the coming of "songkran" yet, it can be inferred to include family reunion and a lot of booze.
The concept of songkran goddess(es) likely is not authentically Thai also and borrowed from the Mon/Burmese.

I don't think the one reporting on Chaewon was the real Bunshun as Bunshun never "teased" and just published out.
Bunshun has reported many factual news and even had parliament members resigned over its affair exposures. It was also the first media reporting on Johnny Kitagawa's sexual abuses. But, yes, Bunshun is not always correct, more of 50-50.
This time, Source Music even confirmed that the photo was real, Kazuha did hang out with another male idol but denied the 2 were dating and they were just friends, since it was common for 2 persons of different genders just dining with only 2 of them and hidden their faces.
