  • [enter-talk] AM I THE ONLY ONE DISAPPOINTED WITH IU ㅠ

    Quote from Panpriyah-lice

    I can't get into her music because it's too basic... I don't speak Korean so ballads don't really reach me.

    15 years in music but she never took risks.

    And I don't think it will change

    This is a wild opinion to have when literally no female idol in the past 20 years would have the guts to release a self-written song like "Twenty-three", especially as a title track. Also wild when the entire criticism of the original post are knetizens are complaining that her new album sounds too different "Shopper"/"Holsii" from the ballads that they want her to sing. But sure, "never took risks".

    Wow, IU's palette gave that song a big boost, her cover of "Congratulations" was trending for days on YT SK.

  • Happy 16th Anniversary to Queen IU!🥳

    I started stanning her after watching her on Sketchbook 15 years ago :holding-back-tears: This was pre-Nagging era! Before that I was a casual young kpop fan, mostly interested in DBSK/Big Bang/Wonder Girls.

  • ADOR - HYBE Mega Thread - 7 || Summary on page 1

    Feel so sad for the girls, they must've truly felt desperate and like they had no other options or allies to resort to such a measure. I don't get people blaming them for simply not leaving/filing for termination - obviously they still want to be New Jeans and they know staying with ADOR is still the path of least resistance. Hybe is honestly so bad at artist management, they should've expected this to happen when they abruptly terminated MHJ but knowing how they act they never think more than 1 step ahead.

  • LE SSERAFIM's album sales (650k and counting on Hanteo now) got all the headlines, but I'm MUCH more concerned with their digitals

    dang, when you compile it like that, half those threads sound like using LSF to be shady about IVE :pepestare:

  • ADOR - HYBE Mega Thread - 6 || Summary on page 1

    the fact you can't see what's wrong with what you said is :pepe-cringe:


    automatically equating having experience = used and calling them leftovers when hybe likely paid hefty sums to break their contracts/offer sign-on bonuses (so they were actually extremely wanted) is problematic.


    but you're right in that's how MHJ probably thinks and thinks of idols like chaewon and sakura too. you'd think it'd make people more cautious about how she'll think about any idol once they are no longer a teenager but there's a lot of hopeful naivety.

  • ADOR - HYBE Mega Thread - 6 || Summary on page 1

    Quote from Yinye

    The core of the case is that - MHJ literally tried to steal Ador and NJ from HYBE. Some ppl don’t believe it but it’s what the police, regulators, and court will decide.

    I think at this point it's almost indisputable that MHJ WANTED to go independent after NJ's unprecedented success though whether she convincingly acted on it or not is a separate issue.


    There's also the conspiracy theory that HYBE set this entire controversy in motion as a way to preemptively get out of paying MHJ's stock options vesting later this year. Ofc that'd be a stupid business decision considering how much they lost in stock value due to everything that happened but Hybe often makes questionable business decisions.


    I don't think we as bystanders will ever know the truth (how much was set in motion by MHJ behind the scenes vs Hybe publicly) but it's sad how much collateral damage was caused by corporate greed in general.

  • ADOR - HYBE Mega Thread - 6 || Summary on page 1

    I didn't think MHJ would remain as CEO for that long (even by her own will, I assumed she'd bounce from HYBE as soon as her employment contract was fulfilled) but ngl I think it's extremely messed up if HYBE doesn't pay her for their mutually agreed-upon put options this year. Hybe agreed to those initial terms, and regardless of personal feelings, MHJ delivered on results and output. I don't see how it's legal for a company to essentially back out of paying a bonus after enjoying the profits already. That alone is worth a countersuit imo.


    Also, when is BSH's resignation coming :pepe-tea: Time for him to pull a YHS, at least to appease the angry mobs (me)

  • [BTS CONTENT] BTS Suga personally apologizes for being intoxicated while driving E-scooter; license revoked

    Quote from David33

    It doesn't matter how big his scooter is or where did he drive it. In the real footage, you can see people walking and there were a lot of cars also. Not to mention, we only saw a footage when he arrived home. Do you think he was drinking next to his home? He used a scooter so he was far away from his home, so technically it's not like he only drove from the next corner.

    Actually your assumption is part of the problem from JBTC's footage. Because of that false footage, everyone assumed he was riding from at least 3 km away. The real CCTV footage shows he rode the scooter ~500 meters, 1/6 of the distance claimed from the fake footage. These details matter. They don't excuse that he drank and drove, but it fueled a lot of the initial hate against him.

  • [BTS CONTENT] BTS Suga personally apologizes for being intoxicated while driving E-scooter; license revoked

    Quote from David33

    Sharing fake FOOTAGE and FAKE NEWS, isn't the same thing, and like I said, that's not the most important thing in THIS case! It's not like JTBC lied about him being drunk and driving! End of story!

    What is the difference between fake footage and fake news? JTBC's footage showed someone on a bigger scooter zooming down a large and busy road far from Suga's residence, which is simply different from the facts of the case. Suga got dragged for simply calling the scooter a kickboard in his apology. JTBC broadcasted wrong exaggerated footage (on a national news program).

  • If you ever doubted about IU's dominance, you need to stop it now!

    Quote from David33

    100% sold-out rate and another record is set! Queen IU!


    BTW, I don't remember, but I don't think I've seen any Kpop artist doing this. I mean, the 100% selling rate! Maybe BTS or BP, but I don't think they did it. Their best was like 98%.

    IU is always very conservative with her venues but I hope this recent world tour has given her more confidence on her global touring power. Next time I hope to see her go to Australia, Canada, and Central/South America.
