  • [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:

  • [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.

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

    Quote from bobsyouruncle

    If it is legit then them confirming it's real without them ever having a statement out for it would basically confirm that they have insiders leaking information to the press, so maybe that's something they don't want to admit? It is strange for them to not outright deny it if it's a false report but I have no idea if this is standard procedure for them if there's an ongoing police investigation.

    I feel like that's the answer that makes the most sense - but those leaks need to stop imo. That was a common complaint during Lee Sun-kyun's case, and it only stokes misreporting and speculation in celebrity cases.

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

    Quote from icyruios

    This.


    Like I keep seeing people saying he has a drinking problem he is an alcoholic like .... I don't know where they got this from.


    Like if there is 1 thing I learn from this thread is that he has a drinking problem because I keep seeing people saying this????

    Most people are going off the assumption that he blew a 0.227% on a weekday night and some past clips of him talking about drinking. This is all an assumption, but as someone who does not drink, I think it's great for anyone who does drink to periodically evaluate their relationship with alcohol and see if it's causing destruction in their life (and in this case it definitely did in Suga's).

    Quote from bobsyouruncle

    The 0.2 number is still being referenced in media outlets and from the same news outlet that released the confirmed CCTV, is this number legit?

    The 0.227 number is still being so ubiquitously reported that I feel like it would be way too ridiculous if it ends up false, because it would mean the police also allowed a false report attributed to them to continue circulating. IDK why the police also won't confirm it though. It's weird to have no comment on a statement that supposedly comes from them.

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

    Quote from Tatiana1820

    didn’t the police said it was an electric scooter?

    it's an electric scooter by technical classification - scooters are motorized devices with max speed exceeding 25 kph and weighing more than 25 kg.


    Suga's e-scooter weighs less than 25 kg but has max speed possible of 30 kph (even if he was riding below that speed), hence it's classified as a scooter and not personal mobility device. So it's not really about what it looks like but just by specs.

    I need to see JTBC lashed until they properly learn their lesson. I didn't realize the original false report was by News Room, their premier news segment. No better than a tabloid at this rate.

    New CCTV exposes a week of misinformation spread by the media on Suga's scandal

    Article: CCTV misreport on Suga's drunk driving by' News Room'... took a week for them to private the video

    Source: Newsen via Nate


    [+135, -20] He got a lot more hate because of that CCTV, Suga-ya, go sue JTBC

    [+109, -6] Wow, Hybe needs to sue that broadcast channel... that CCTV totally showed a scooter with big wheels at high speed, which made him get a ton of hate... only for it to be someone else all along??????

    [+87, -3] Hasn't JTBC always prided themselves on fact checking, cross checking, etc? But they put that out without even checking? I don't think this is something a simple apology can fix...

    [+76, -4] Not only should they take the video down but they should apologize properly too, how terrible of them

    [+70, -2] So that's it? They get off scot free just by taking the video down?

    [+22, -0] I am not defending his decision to drink and drive, but broadcast channels should be held responsible for things like this. You can't deny that he got a ton more than necessary because of this CCTV.

    [+21, -0] They put it out as an "exclusive" report without even checking... he got so much hate for this!!!

    [+19, -1] JTBC: ??? Nevermind then

    [+19, -1] I remember seeing someone X say it's not Suga, I guess they were right

    [+13, -1] JTBC is such a terrible channel


    Article: 'Drunk Driving' BTS Suga, whereabouts confirmed... drinking -> studio -> home before falling over

    Source: Donga Ilbo via Nate


    [+267, -174] That basically looks like a kickboard with a seat attached, I would hardly call that a motorcycle. I've seen tons of those on sidewalks. I think it's possible that someone could've been ignorant about the laws regarding this.

    [+176, -79] These electric scooters have barely been out, so I can see why someone could get confused with the laws surrounding them since they're not really a motorcycle or a bicycle. It's plausible that he really didn't know you couldn't operate one after drinking. Think about it, when did you see this ever being driven down a road? It's usually on sidewalks.

    [+168, -75] Isn't the bigger issue here that he drove it down a sidewalk...?

    - [+85, -9] Yeah, and articles have also been saying he was passed out on the street, but that's not even the case

    - [+82, -28] I see tons of these on sidewalks... that is no scooter, that's a kickboard

    - [+79, -3] I can see him being confused. It looks like a bike. Probably felt safe enough to drink and drive it down a sidewalk. Why would anyone ever take that thing down a road? It's 1/3 the size of an adult.

    [+77, -24] I still don't get why you'd make so much money just to not spend it on a cab....

    [+46, -6] Thought it was a scooter??? That's no scooter... and apparently that other CCTV of him speeding isn't even him?...

    [+44, -11] Yeah, that totally looks like an electric kickboard. It may legally be considered a scooter but it doesn't look like one at all, which is probably why Suga wrote that it was a kickboard in his letter. Poor guy.

    [+44, -10] I don't really know much about these things but to the eye, it looks way too small to be called even a scooter. No one would think of it as one.

    [+42, -10] Not a Suga fan but people need to back off. None of you were hurt by his actions.

    [+40, -6] That's barely 1/3 the size of an adult body, all the people who called it a motorcycle should come out now

    [+37, -2] So all those articles saying he bumped into something were lying... he didn't hit anything, just fell over on his own in front of his place ㅋㅋㅋ the media was totally blowing it up and making up stories to get him more hate, wow... yeah, drinking and driving is bad, but so is spreading fake news

    [+34, -1] So he just fell over, but the media was running around like he was 'plastered' and totally 'out of it'... he was even sober enough to greet everyone properly after falling over...

    [+31, -1] Wow, all this hate over CCTV that ended up being fake... he's been getting hate all weekend long over that CCTV for "lying" about this and that ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'm getting goosebumps... Hybe, what're you doing? Why aren't you suing JTBC?

    [+28, -3] That kickboard looks barely the size of a toy, why would anyone expect him to drive it down a road?????????? He totally had every right to drive that down a sidewalk

    [+27, -1] Yeah, it really does look like a child's toy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ JTBC and Yonhap News must be out to exile him or something... spreading fake news without even fact checking???? Just why?

    [+26, -1] All those articles that claimed Suga was lying without any proof... the media really needs to reflect on this one. We can't keep letting them get away with "oh, oops" every time they get caught spreading fake news.

    [+25, -1] Come on, where's that article yesterday that claimed he hit something and fell...

    [+24, -0] Raise your hand here if you know the actual laws surrounding kickboards and scooters! Because if I had something like this, I'd drive it down a sidewalk too! Why would anyone drive this down a road? How many lives do you think we have???

    [+22, -1] No, yeah, that totally looks like a kickboard... what was that last CCTV, then;;

    [+20, -0] This new CCTV saved Suga's life. He wasn't lying, it really was a kickboard. Someone needs to arrest whoever uploaded that first CCTV as being him.

    [+17, -1] Wow... the whole week, the media was going nonstop as if he was totally drunken and speeding down with a motorcycle... but the actual facts of the case are quite... pathetic?? ㅋㅋ No one would look at that and call it a scooter... if anything, it looks like a child's toy.. and he was apparently "plastered" but look at him get right back up after falling?

    Quote from Fritzubus67

    Isn't IU even more successful as an acting star in Korea than as a K-pop star?

    I think IU is still more famous as a singer (and pulls more revenue from her singing career) but she also has a top tier acting resume, and there's still a lot for her to grow and achieve as an actress. It's very possible in the future she will start pulling back from music more to focus on acting (which she's already started doing post-2021).
