So I did a big thing:
This story was birthed because I've wondered why so many
#Kpop
idols are becoming luxury brand ambassadors for over a year. I never expected that
#TommyHilfger
himself would indulge my curiosity and give us an exclusive on
#StrayKids
, that Lily of
#NMIXX
CORRECTION: Luxury fashion houses are enlisting K-pop idols as brand ambassadors as they seek to tap into their global fanbase . We are removing a post with a courtesy error
Taylor is the third brown actor I have read about this year who has had to launch their own production company because Hollywood won't give him roles. He should have been every after "Red, White & Royal Blue" just like his white co-lead currently is.
Taylor Zakhar Perez is starting his own production company.
“My goal is to find talented producers and writers who want to tell these stories in an independent way, in a commercial way, and really champion Latin people in media.”

I am a regular civilian and I certainly wouldn't eat food that randomly showed up at my house. To expect Jungkook, a Superstar with enemies and stalkers, to be grateful for a stranger illegally obtaining his address and sending him food is bizarre.
And to think that mere weeks ago, some of you were trying to convince the rest of us that K-pop idols shouldn't be required to have vocal ability, and we should live on vibes and aesthetics! When Baekhyun is out here singing acapella and English isn't even his first language!
I'm saying now, this is the best any K-pop idol has looked at all the fashion week events this year. I do not care who your fave is. This is undoubtedly the winner.
I missed the entirely of
#StrayKids
's set at
#BSTHydePark
because I was in the media centre editing our interview with the guys, but I think this definitely makes up for it 😃
P.s. The picture was orchestrated by Bang Chan.
I'm so serious when I say that of
@pledis_17
and their team have any sense in their heads they would release SOS as a single TODAY! The way that the
#Glastonbury
crowd responded to it was CRAZY!
I wrote for
@galdemzine
about how the VMAs creating a whole new category just for K-pop artists while excluding highly successful groups, like BTS, from the major music categories was an act of xenophobia.
Much love and respect to Bang Chan for holding his own fandom to account. And more idols for this please. If the leader of a 4th gen group can speak up, what's stopping others?
Protecting us you should be the only thing that you do but downgrading others is something that u should not do. Dont do that. You gonna ruin your own image. YOU GONNA RUIN OUR OWN IMAGE TOO.
Bang Chan, 2022.
I am so proud of SEVENTEEN! They did an amazing job. You'd never thing that this was their first time in the England.
@glastonbury
I STRONGLY suggest you invite them back next year. They owned the Pyramid Stage!
#SEVENTEENatGLASTONBURY
The Grammys have a history of handing out high honors to mediocre white artists while Black artists have to turn pop culture on its head and innovate on an intergalactic level to even be considered for a seat at the table.

So, thoughts on the All My Life remixes. Naturally, J.Cole is the superior feature. He is the 🐐, bodies every feature he's on. I like what Stray Kids did. They were given a lot to room to move. I'd have preferred for the main remix to be Cole & SKZ. I wasn't moved by Burna Boy.
I know Jiwoo (Hobi's sister) did not get on her Instagram and BEG this fandom not to circulate pictures of her wedding for me to see it spreading in the thousands. Do you people not possess shame or does disrespect of BTS's siblings know no bounds.
Meghan made a very excellent point when she said that people have written whole books her and Harry when she doesn't even know them so why shouldn't they be able to tell their version of events?
Two years and 2 months, 8 phones to South Korea at 4am, and countless emails just so I can FINALLY say...
So I interviewed
#WHEEIN
from
#MAMAMOO
for
@TeenVogue
. We had a great chat about her album
#Whee
, leaving RBW & working with
#JAYB
from GOT7.
That Stray Kids AMA performance is going to down as one of my favourite award show performances of 2024. It's going right up there with Victoria Monet and Tyla at the BET Awards.
Now miss girl. Seo Taiji & The Boys did not pluck that Hip Hop/New Jack Swing concept from the sky. Lee Sooman built the trainee system off Motown (his words not mine) and Bang PD said that BTS "has Black music as their base." Black music is the foundation K-pop is standing on.
2 years ago today, Chloe x Halle released their second album ‘Ungodly Hour.’
The Grammy-nominated album received universal acclaim from various critics, many of which ranked it amongst the best albums of 2020. It was nominated for Album Of The Year at the BET awards.
seungkwan is such a whole package! he can handle the whole crowd, can hype everyone in the room and make them feel included, his stage presence is just out of this world AND HIS VOICE! BOO SEUNGKWAN IS A TOTAL PERFORMER!!!
Is that Ashley Everett???@!!! As in Beyonce's Dance Captain Ashley Everett!!!! WITH TAEMIN!!! Naaahhhh give Kany a raise and her flowers because is she is raising the BAR!!!!
They made a whole chapter around Jin's enlistment!! Why? How on earth did they make a whole chapter on it when Jin hasn't even said more than 2 sentences on the subject matter and do people act like everyone in BTS won't eventually go? What's the West's obsession on this subject?
Admitted to sex trafficking, prostitution solicitation, filming explicit content without consent and he gets his sentence reduced to 1.5 years!!! DISGUSTING! You lot clearly HATE women and many "fans" will still support him for no other reason than he was bias in a boy band.
#Seungri
's sentence was reduced by half after the appeal (3 yrs >> 1,5 years). It's reported during the appeal trial, Seungri admitted all the charges and express his intention to reflect

@fairybunhun
Jungkook alone has contributed to the fabric softener industry, the wine industry and the Hanbok industry. I dare you to play a game with his influence.
The way I wasn't planning on recording the podcast today but
@Brie__yonce
and I need to talk about

.
I need to stan at my highest capacity and Twitter is restricting me to 280 characters.
@koffeebuttr_
Rihanna is there to change the landscape of make-up because they don't cater to anyone darker than an A4 sheet of paper and THIS IS HOW YOU DO HER!
This article is so well written (shout to
@neonandnoise
). The article highlights their global impact without being condescending. It was witty & original questions were asked
AND they were styled in Louis Vuitton & Lisa Frank did the artwork! My heavenly word!!!
@joshuaneall
Wait til you find that the last time she won one of the Big Categories was for Single Ladies, and they've been relegating her to the Black categories ever since.
@BTS_twt
's new song 'Life Goes On' and has intense warm hug energy as the lyrics remind us that we are going to make it out of this challenging period.

came to London and reminded folks that while she has stage presence and sex appeal, what is does is sing the house down. And that's exactly what Mama did.

@victoriasanusi
The way I looked at this scene when I was 13 (when it aired) and the way I do now is completely different. Ross knew it was her dream to work in fashion but was always expecting her to sacrifice her dreams for him. But heaven forbid he should give up looking at dinosaur bones 😒
@ANGELPOSE
There are Armys in Journalism, the healthcare sector, UNICEF, The UN, Late Night Talk Show hosts. I'm convinced there are Armys in the FBI. Hell, even the King of Norway asked President Moon when BTS will be holding a concert in Norway. Do 👏🏾you👏🏾 really 👏🏾want 👏🏾this👏🏾 smoke?
Please remember that the people you're suggesting actually have to be vocalists, dance in heels, and have the balls to do it without apology. Therefore, no one can do it except Hyolyn.
I'm really trying to deep the fact that a white man went on a racist tirade against BTS, tried to justify that he wasn't xenophobic because he has a Japanese car (BTS are Korean you fool), all in the name of BTS covering 'Fix You' which Coldplay themselves said was 'beautiful'
@lenikacruz
This is what I did he with my uncle. He's a Hip Hop purist and I was driving him somewhere and Persona was playing. He was so shocked to find out that was BTS because he assumed they were "pop boys." I made him listen to Tear, all the Cyphers, Daechwita and Ugh. I left him for +
@lenikacruz
24 hours. Tell how during the night he done research on them, knew all their names, watched the hardships of BTS videos and had sent some of their songs to his friends 😂😂😂
I will be attending
@BTS_twt
BE Global Press Conference: 11am KST/Nov. 20 (2am BST/Nov. 19). We're not allowed to share the live stream.
I don't want to be presumption and assume that you guys want me to live tweet it (coz I'm not great it), but I will only if you want me to.
I wrote this piece for
@TeenVogue
as a way of processing the death of George Floyd,
#BlackLivesMatter
, and the way the K-pop community responded to it.
@pledis_17
If SEVENTEEN are doing any radio interviews they BETTER encourage the DJs in the UK to play SOS. I know it came out last October but it has the potential to be a Summer hit!
@pledis_17
Ladies, gentlemen & everyone in between I already know it's a song on SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN. I stream that album daily. Most artists will release new music/MVs as soon as they get off the stage at a huge festival. They should drop an MV for SOS!
Prince Andrew is linked to a Jeffery Epstein who had an entire pedophile ring and is wanted by the FBI but Meghan & Harry (who aren't even in the country) are your main focus?
I'm not down on Meghan and Harry, who in many ways I think have done a brave thing by trying to make their own way in the world. But I can't understand why any couple with a young child would want to live in this monstrosity, especially while campaigning for a cleaner planet
I'm so glad that Britney is calling Justin Timberlake. Not only did he use her name and that controversial video to launch his solo career, but he also watched as the press crucified her because of it.
