Australian fan support for k-pop main dancer and singer-songwriter Lee Taeyong. Twitter account hiatus; active on IG / Threads/. DM for Stationhead collabs
We’ve updated the Linktree with the various freebies and giveaways that are available in Australia for the upcoming TAEYONG: TY Track in Cinemas screenings!
what taeyong risked here:
- CF termination / penalties (all CFs/ambassadorship solo and group can be affected)
- demotion of navy position +/- punishment
- SM (though hard to imagine TY any more penalised by SM than he is now)
- abuse and harassment from kfans + knetizens
because it hasn’t come up, worth remembering that sh*ns*gae* manages BOTH st*rb*cks korea and lo*w* p*rf*mes so there are many things ty put at risk here
If you consider this bare minimum, then I would like to know what you have risked in the last eight months, in terms of real financial consequences, risk of harassment, or risk to your employment.
The standard by which we judge should be the standard we are judged by.
In respect of what Taeyong did tonight, we just donated AUD 1000 to
@savechildrenaus
’s Gaza Appeal.
Unlike Taeyong’s post though, this really is bare minimum.
what taeyong risked here:
- CF termination / penalties (all CFs/ambassadorship solo and group can be affected)
- demotion of navy position +/- punishment
- SM (though hard to imagine TY any more penalised by SM than he is now)
- abuse and harassment from kfans + knetizens
Why was Taeyong’s name excluded from simple things like text-based lists where involving him would have been easy?
Why then were AI- generated images used instead of old images of him in this track video?
Taeyong in the Loewe Paula’s Ibiza global campaign has currently reached:
13 countries
53 towns/cities
An estimated 170 screens/boards in 111 locations

Hi! This is a new account created to celebrate Taeyong's birthday this year. We're starting with a quick giveaway.
Rules:
1) Like + retweet + follow.
Ends 2 July 0:00 KST
1 winner will win a choice either NCT 127 ACE membership, or their choice of 1 photocard from below:
For those confused: Taeyong’s voice is in the Spotify/Apple/streaming version of Walk but not the MV version
(it seems a separate version without Taeyong was re-recorded for the MV)
In February, Taeyong recorded 40 songs, toured with NCT 127 and SMTOWN concert, had to rush practice for his solo concert and album, lost his voice, barely slept.
All this work was produced by him for SM to erase his voice from the MV but sell his merch.
#SMRespectTaeyong
using AI to replicate a real artist’s face means that the company policy does not have a boundary around AI or around authenticity of artist image
it means that potentially a future piece of merch you buy, a photocard, a song you listen to, might not really be the artist.
if you can, please send in a short report to Kwangya 119 regarding the use of AI to generate Taeyong’s image.
If they do it once they can do it again and for other SM artists.
will you know whether the poca you buy is real? Or if the vocals you are listening to are real?
Out of respect for the real persons and victims involved in the case we ask that people stop speculating on unconfirmed rumors or information that is coming from unverified sources.
Taeyong photocard and inclusions are being sold with one album version but there is no message with his poca which is very unusual
@SMTOWNGLOBAL
it’s unclear whether he had any active involvement with this album at all other than his photocard being available for purchase
Currently,
#TAEYONG
(10012932) has KOMCA credits on 47 songs (52 listings on KOMCA in total).
While most of these are lyricist (A) credits, he has composition (C) credits on 10 songs including No Manners, Skyscraper, Long Flight, and Love Theory.
#태용 #テヨン
Taeyong has been working on the 404 trilogy since 2020. The final song will be in 2026 - a six year project in the making.
A meticulously designed, complex and introspective piece of songwriting that has required both patience and internal vision to execute.
all the talk about trends/challenges as if taeyong didn't write blue and swimming pool and ruby and ups & downs and 404 series and back to the past. as if his lyrics aren't true to his core and his identity. as though him wanting his music to be accessible renders it inauthentic

Album availability in stores across Australia was significantly down compared with 2 Baddies and even Ay-Yo.
Why is Taeyong the only SM leader whose position is not on his
@weverseofficial
profile?
Leaders of WayV, NCT Dream, RV, Shinee, EXO SNSD, SuJu, and TVXQ all have this mentioned on their profile yet the leader of NCT 127 and NCT does not.
@SMTOWNGLOBAL
@NCTsmtown_127
Taeyong will indeed be back with us Christmas 2025, there’s enough time for March enlistment and 21 months public service.
TY is always organised and always keeps his promises.
If he gives a spoiler, believe him.

i have one other thing to say: i hope tyongfs in particular can stop accusing taeyong of being too weak-willed and/or foolish to fight SM in the matter of contract renewals.
he has always been one of the bravest and most intelligent celebrities i know.
what taeyong risked here:
- CF termination / penalties (all CFs/ambassadorship solo and group can be affected)
- demotion of navy position +/- punishment
- SM (though hard to imagine TY any more penalised by SM than he is now)
- abuse and harassment from kfans + knetizens

As a quick update these are the magazines where Paula’s Ibiza ads for Taeyong have been spotted so far:
Ready-to-wear:
Elle Japan June 2024
Perfumes:
S Moda - El Pais May 2024
Vogue Spain May 2024
Bazaar Spain May 2024
Elle Spain May 2024
I think tyongfs are smarter than this but please do not EVER do any reporting on the main brand account…
if the official account is affected by mass reporting its overall reach will decrease on all posts and then obviously everyone’s content will drop in engagement.
泰容_globalstar__info on Weibo also kept a count that may be more complete!
According to their tally, so far ads of Taeyong in the Loewe Paula’s Ibiza global campaign have appeared in:
57 cities
162 locations
200 individual ads

Fyi
@lyst
has an explanation of how they generate their ranking, which considers:
- Lyst shoppers’ behaviour (searches, product views, sales)
- SNS mentions, activity, engagement
Our fanbase does not recommend purchasing from AKP shop due to AKP'S repeated role in smearing Taeyong in recent months including non-factual reporting that has yet to be retracted, let alone apologised for.
Dear
@NCTsmtown
, why is it that there has been an intentional and systematic strategy to push Taeyong’s posts down the SNS feed within 1 min of any major teaser of his, going back to Tap teasers in February?

If you live in Australia, you’ll know very well how limited the stocks were in local stores.
Well done everyone who bought physicals, streamed, or bought on iTunes!
if you can, please send in a short report to Kwangya 119 regarding the use of AI to generate Taeyong’s image.
If they do it once they can do it again and for other SM artists.
will you know whether the poca you buy is real? Or if the vocals you are listening to are real?
It’s tiring because he’s always harassed and abused
Nctzens repeatedly choose to protect a massive company that has mismanaged and abused their employees and choose hatred of idols, who are already victims.
but Taeyong has survived this all before, and so have we
it’s sad that Taeyong spent so many years acknowledging, and appreciating the artistic nctzen community, individual by individual
… but this same community has been so silent about generative AI being used in 127 content 1) at all and 2) to simulate his likeness
1. There have already been severe, and defamatory posts against Taeyong on the Korean side this week
2. K-antis do take trending tweets on the i-side and use them as if they have substance
Your joking has a cost and it is mostly paid personally by TY
Thank you so much to the fanbases who have spoken up so far on the use of genAI:

(Disclaimer: this is NOT to do with activism; however, this is to do with where I think support for Taeyong is most useful for the dedicated fan)
Four recent jobs of Taeyong’s that SM has remained silent on.
Let’s focus on content/mags that are not retweeted by N/CT account. We know those are NOT SM procured!
Let’s reward our brave man who spoke up against all odds and is setting a good example for the whole industry. 🫶
No Youtube link from official accounts means there’s an opportunity to go to Youtube and search for Taeyong’s name and help promote the video in the search algorithm!

1) thanks to yesterday’s events, boycott reached official news media
2) the genocide is referred to as a “conflict”
3) it is already well known that Starbucks poses a risk to the reputation of celebrities - SM chose to inflict this on NCT members fully knowing this
“Unexpectedly, I created the intro choreography! Leejung liked the dance moves and was very supportive in giving ideas, so I remember having a lot of fun creating the choreography.”

Pre-order period is more than 50% over, so even if you can’t afford the magazine, help with spreading the word as very few fans know about Taeyong’s 1st ever brand ambassadorial cover.

Akgae tyongfs are bullies of the fandom. Always bullying everyone. And because of them taeyong get unwanted hates. You people should start reporting the akgaes too who always shits on other members. I've never seen any of the taeyong protect account reporting those toxic people

There is a good chance that TY TRACK, Tap era promotions and 127 Tokyo Dome Concert are the last formal activities we have of Taeyong prior to enlistment.
Again, please treat these last weeks with Taeyong preciously and let’s leave him with great memories of us.

some of you guys in the qrts really need to fucking focus... "Taeyong started this" "No, Leehan did this in April" SHUT THE FUCK UPPPPPPPPPP like this is not the time
Memorial Day is a day to remember those soldiers who died and made the ultimate sacrifice to protect their country.
Please be respectful in the comments as it is a day to honor the courage of these men. These are not kpop posts or videos.
Hello guys, this video and picture is about Korea’s Memorial Day.🫡 Please refrain from commenting on recent issues. If you choose to leave a comment, please make it a sincere and supportive one.🙏🏻
