yall so used to doing free labour for kpop companies that when a company actually does a their job and capitalises on hype to secures good opportunities for their artists yall think its cheating 😭😭
once again asking why it is that when multiple kpop acts get invited to an american event ppl start acting like the value and prestige of the event drops astronomically,, saying its turning into inki or mama as if those events are inherently inferior like whats up with that ??
have any of yall ever considered that maybe idols enjoy getting to take little breaks ?? like have yall ever thought that maybe they dont like having their time between cbs filled with other gigs ???
someone broke into haechan’s house in november and since then sm has continued to send nct members around with inadequate security (or none at all), had fans staying in the same hotel as members and allowed a stalker so close that they appeared in some youtube content,,,,
most of the problems in ncity can be attributed to the fact that many nctzens have extreme main character syndrome and poor reading comprehension skills
i made the mistake of enjoying one sm release a bit too much a couple years ago and now i have to bear witness to the three ring circus that is sm entertainment’s management
international kpop fandom has become heavily reliant on twitter for updates both official and unofficial and because of the increasing focusing on catering to/courting international (especially american) fans the kpop industry has come to rely a lot on twitter too
[UPDATE] aespa Karina and Lee Jae Wook reportedly have parted ways
It was reported both of them break up due to malicious comments and feel sorry for the fans

“as much as i like johnny i think [insert idol] shouldve gone instead” but anna wintour decided to approve johnnys invite n not that other person’s so,,,,
yall are more worried about how these men reacted to a racist experience than you are about the fact that they experienced racism and i think that says a lot about who you are as people
some of you genuinely believe south korea’s economic situation is so precarious that a single kpop group being inactive will collapse the whole thing ??? i thought we was all playin 😟😟 ???
alleged nasty behaviour aside,,, i must admit i am not a fan of how these teen girls are being wielded as both club and/or shield by various parties in this dispute amongst adults
Ilgan Sports shares letter NewJeans’ parents sent to Bang Si Hyuk through Min Heejin:
— “Every time NewJeans members met president Bang Si hyuk at the company, we wondered why President Bang pretended not to know the members and ignored their greetings (…) it wasn’t just once
what the qrts are failing to understand is that theres a difference between you as a regular degular teen jamming to bed rock in your room and an idol whose activities are managed by other adults performing an inappropriate song publicly
not so friendly reminder that yg made one of them (the 16 year old) girl rap about getting ate out so if you stan them then you're directly supporting their sexualisation and exploitation
i hate that sm makes good music,,, its because they make good music that im forced to sit and witness all this circus clownery,,, but if the music was a little worse i could’ve been free
the problem is not just that people are rowdy and mobbing the problem is that you are waiting in the airport to snap photos of a stranger,,, causing problems not just for the idol and their staff but for all the other people in the airport and for why ???
twitter also provided a space for fans to directly influence the industry, if fans dislike something or want to see something happen they can trend a hashtag and the companies see it and sometimes even adjust things accordingly,, which is kinda wild when you think about it
real question tho, what does sm want us to do with all this ??? like sick graphs, i like the pink theme but what am i supposed to do ask hybe to stop ??? buy stock so i become a majority shareholder in sm ???
there is nothing empowering or revolutionary abt a man asking a woman to masturbate for camera,,, the porn industry been doing that for nearly a century
Is Sam Levinson's portrayal of female sexuality revolutionary or is it taken too far? "Sometimes things that might be revolutionary are taken too far," he says."

especially when, as i’ve discussed at length multiple times, a lot of these discussions abt fanservice assume every idol is cishet and ignores cultural n individual differences in how same sex friendships look
and how do ppl even know when they land ?? im 97% sure companies dont release that info so do ppl just track the flight ??? and no one has stopped to think that maybe thats a bit weird ???
no it really is heartbreaking to see someone work so hard for something and then have things ruined by something thats out of their control,, my heart really hurts for mark and for nct dream as a whole
its crazy to me how quickly kpop stans will resort to anti-asian racism and xenophobia whenever an asian person who is not their fave does smth they deem “wrong” or “bad”
king charles dying or abdicating on st patricks day is such a perfect co-occurrence of events that it feels almost foolish to believe the universe would grant us something so splendid ,,, but i have hope
flags at half mast in some government buildings, bbc going all black again, going also on stand by for a imminent "big" royal announcement,, either king charles is dead, abdicating, or kate died
almost every kpop concert that has done ticketing through ticketmaster this year has had an issue with bots and resellers and yet ticketmaster continues to do absolutely nothing about it
no like cuz like imagine someone emailing your job like “your employee is not working hard enough for me, please give them more work” ??? personally, id become the joker
have any of yall ever considered that maybe idols enjoy getting to take little breaks ?? like have yall ever thought that maybe they dont like having their time between cbs filled with other gigs ???
no way people are upset that an idol who has discussed on multiple occasions how much he enjoys dj-ing has gotten a gig dj-ing in a very normal place for dj-ing to happen
they be giving jaemin a single adderall and a glass of dark liquor before he steps into the studio to record his lines in songs and i really appreciate it
ive written a couple papers and done some research on the relationship between kpop and social media (more specifically kpop and twitter) and it’s all very fascinating the way this site interacts with industry and artists
men in the qrts and comments talking abt how this is actually bad & selfish,,,,, all the time yall are spending talking about how the big bad feminists are ruining everything is time you could be spending getting bred by korean men so you can help raise the birth rate
In Korea, a growing movement of women is saying no: No to heterosexual marriage; no to childbirth; no to dating; no to heterosexual sexual relationships. They are choosing to stop fighting the patriarchy and instead leave it behind.

which uk artists are you loving right now? anybody you want to collaborate with?
🐯 central cee is a rapper i recently got to listen to and i imagine that it’d be interesting if we got to be on a song together.
and i'll say it again— what kind of country do y'all think south korea is that you genuinely believe a single kpop group will tank the entire economy and society at large ???
there is something absolutely fascinating about the kpop industry’s priorities,,,, like idols cannot date openly but they can wear clothes with a pretty well known hate symbol on it ????
@p1ecezone
imma be real,, i still think its weird to wait in an airport for someone you dont know and who doesnt know you to land so you can take their picture or just like catch a glimpse of them
something something attraction to men being centred in conversations about/perceptions of bisexuality,,, its why bi women are treated like they’re essentially straight n bi men are treated like they’re essentially gay
pushing at concerts is not new, but pushing so hard that it becomes a safety hazard has become more n more common at concerts and thats not okay,, ppl should not be worried for their safety and their lives like that whenever they go to a concert
like stanning sm groups has never been sunshine n roses but i also feel like its never been this bad ??? i feel like the last few weeks have just been one thing after another ????
I'll never understand the "cash grab" argument for Kpop groups.... motherfucker EVERYTHING coming out of the Kpop industry is a cash grab! Stop trying to act morally superior !
@skaiibluee
oh absolutely,,, between biological impulses to keep a child safe n secure combined with social pressures that frown upon single mothers (no matter the conditions that led to single motherhood) its a very very good way to control a woman
@ethicaldemon
i once told one of the 4yr olds i was 23 and he went “woah 😧” n then my coworker also was shocked cuz she thought i was in my late 20s,,, i nearly cried
whatever happened to giving people a couple weeks notice before concert ticket sales ??? whats the point of announcing shit less than a week before they go on sale ??
grown ass adults making youtube call out videos instead of just scheduling meetings and sorting shit out in private like normal people,,, like whatever happened to shame ???
kpop stans will spend every day tweeting abt how much they dont wanna go to school/work and then turn around and complain when their fave isn’t constantly working day in and day out,,, like,,,,
im so genuinely mad rn like i aint even know i had it in me to get this mad over kpop anymore but i fr seething rn,,, like not only has sm wasted my time and the fandoms time theyve wasted THREE YEARS of sungtaro’s lives
he has perfectly mastered the melancholic dead-eyed gaze reaching into the distance thats characteristic of every renaissance painting of the virgin mary,,,, our holy mother haechan,,,
the thing that really irks me abt all the dry heaving when an idol yall head-cannoned as queer enters a het relationship is that if that idol were to come out as queer yall would instantly pivot to treating them like shit n sling slurs at them under the guise of “jokes”
