New IUTV with our favorite junior employee Lee Jidong ticketing for The Golden Hour 
The background is the hallway in Taehyung's house....
Question, how is it invading privacy if its fake? 🤔
Even if the photo is fake/edited, someone would've needed access to multiple unreleased pics to compile it. The background is different from any selfie taehyung has posted (paintings, angles, etc). Editing still means most parts of the pic need to be real, just combined differently. It's not like someone drew this pic.
How does that work, if Ive trending #1 how aren’t they in music?
Doesn't trending depend on a variety of factors, including likes and number of new comments/engagements on the video?
should've spent money buying youtube streams since that's the platform that blocked them from PAK 
if that's true, can't jennie or v just post the original pics? that would shut down the rumors immediately
I feel really bad for both of them but especially Jennie since these pics are probably leaked by someone she trusted.
Finally, the translator said, "There is no debate about whether or not this song has sexual connotations. It is an openly sexual song. It was written that way from the beginning. In a company like HYBE and ADOR, there's no way that there's not a single English-speaking person who didn't recognize the sexual references. If this was done intentionally, then I feel that the system needs a thorough revision."
Doesn't this mean the innuendo is in English and not Korean? Agree that it's obvious what the song lyrics are trying to do, the point was that there are still a lot of Koreans who may not pick up on the innuendo if they're not familiar with English slang/lyrics. ADOR 100% knew what they were doing though.
including featurings right?
I think featurings are grouped under the "Others" (24million) in the graphic.
What was bigbang 1st hour melon uls i wonder? 100k+? I guess it wasn't recorded because of release timings
Based on rough calculations of where they landed on melon 24hits at 1am "still life" should've gotten around ~140k ULs the first hour.
Yeah, I heard that too. I just checked Genius, and an interpolation of Pon de Replay was credited.
Very cool! That's what I assumed since the lyrics seemed like an homage.
Am I imagining this? Is it just the similar lyrics influencing me?
Lisa's first verse in "Pink Venom" where she sings "one by one then two by two":
Rihanna's verse in "Pon de replay" starting also with "it goes one by one, then two by two":
was lisa's first verse where she sings "one by one, two by two" a sample from the rihanna song "pon de replay"? the melody seemed similar too but I don't know if it's just because of the lyrics
I don't care about dating. However, I will care if an idol is messy about it - re-gifting fan gifts to a significant other, doing lovestagrams, etc. I won't unstan but I'll just think the idol is dumb and it'll affect my opinion of them.
On a similar note, also don't care about "dumb" controversies - idols who get dragged for not knowing something historical, mis-using a word, etc. The unfortunate truth is most idols did not get proper school education, but I'm not stanning idols for their intelligence or book smarts.
Also for the most part, I am lenient on things like cultural appropriation AS LONG AS the idol/company acknowledges the mistake and doesn't repeat it. If it's a repetitive issue, it'll make me think the company is incompetent and that will also affect how I stan.
Same with drugs like marijuana tbh, I wouldn't want my idol to do it because of the serious consequences in South Korea but it's not a moral issue for me.
Things that I would unstan for: assault, drunk driving, financial fraud/scamming others, grooming minors, etc. Really needs to have serious active harm against someone else.
jungwon was placed on hiatus for a few days last month due to health issues as well. they've had a really packed schedule this promotion cycle, hope they are able to rest a bit before they start their tour soon.
Display MoreI mean people go around and act like the rest of the female industry are all like Lim Kim.
When the difference between IU and the other girls are they have some flops
Twenty Three and Bbibbi are more risky than anything from the mainstream scene on kpop.
She came from Friday and FB who put her in a status of goddess, and then decided to release her diss track.
After TTN she could release so many replicas yet she never released a folk original title like TTN again (and i wish this everyday).
I really dont know why the safe thing is so used against her. Not that she is an experimental girl or something, but none of mainstreal soloists are different from her just because they change their genres a bit more.Celebrity and Lilac are not the same as Blueming and Love Poem, so IU definitely can bring some "variety" too. But her sing style bring some similarities between her popish songs, and i dont think this is something bad, because this is also identity, the "IU genre. "
Aside that as an uaena i would say that Lilac album is below what she can bring. Not bad but uninspired, not a surprise since she didnt take the production. Almost like she needed release the album because was the time and that's it.
Hope her next ep/album she came with more ambition. She is kinda promising that since her 30s is supposed to be better than her 20s, and in some interview she said she want try new things.
So lets see
It's because IU has never flopped before like other girlies and they need an easy narrative to explain why. IU has spent over a decade building up the trust with her fans and gp and even if I don't like every single IU song (spoken before on how I found "Strawberry Moon" underwhelming) I always highly anticipate every release. IU also has a very distinctive singing voice.
I'm glad she didn't release FB3 last year after Lilac (I see Winter Sleep as the replacement). FB1 and FB2 allowed her to explore some different genres and helped establish her reputation but I much prefer original work from IU and hope that's what she focuses on in the future.
This thread is focused on all the wrong things. I feel extremely uncomfortable how much focus is given on specific items of clothing that minors are wearing rather than the crux of the issue: companies need to stop debuting minors.
Maybe a controversial opinion, but in the kpop industry a 14 year old wearing a bandeau top on stage is just as problematic as a 14 year old wearing a white t-shirt and jeans on stage. Saying "protect them by having them wear longer shirts" is not the right approach at all. This is putting too much emphasis on clothes when time and time again cases have shown there is nothing you can wear to 100% protect yourself from predators.
ALL companies debuting minors are problematic. You should not get to pick & choose.
I mean that the lyrics/concept are easily controversial. they are hardly "safe songs".
