>>10755SM is known to have favourites that they push at the expense of everyone else - Key has said that Taemin got privileges and special treatment that the other members didn't.
In NCT, all members have said how much Lee Soo Man himself favours Mark. Sulli even had LSM attend her birthday party as a child.
SM definitely does play favourites and won't hesitate to deny opportunities to members that they don't want to push - Seohyun was offered roles in Architecture 101 and Train to Busan but SM made her turn them down because they wanted to push Yoona as the actress member.
>I mean isnt it beneficial for SM too? They would have been able to milk 2 cows at the same time It is, but most Korean music companies care more about exerting power than they do about actually making money in an efficient way. In a perfect capitalist scenario YGE would be giving Blackpink all their time and attention, but YG is butthurt that his precious Ikon isn't at BP's level internationally so he gives BP the barest minimum every year (this recent American promo is courtesy of Interscope, not YG). Pride takes centrestage over business sense in most idol companies.

This also reminds me of companies exerting power through dieting, and the way some fans find it funny that their favs have to hide the fact that they're eating.

What I'm trying to say is, both Wendy's and Joy's jaws looked perfectly fine but Wendy's is objectively more in line with Kpop standards so idk why SM would fuck with it unless to sabotage her in favor of Irene like some others here have said, or she's seriously deeply insecure and pushed for it herself

nobody wants another idol yg covered for to be in the news again. the seungri scandal is bringing out the people saying he threw her under the bus of course and ignoring the fact that he was paying enough people to cover a drug smuggling investigation for over three years before the news broke, and THEN they came up with multiple lies about why it happened to explain it. if it had been a regular person and not a celebrity they would’ve been charged and thrown in jail, but vom got three more years being a successful singer instead. how can fans not see why that would piss people off?
the worst thing about bom’s downfall is that it got rid of the worst excuse for plastic surgery. no, swollen lymph nodes do not change the shape of your nose, eyes, or boobs. she doesn’t even get brought up on discussions of idols with issues with their looks because there’s no point even trying to talk about how she has a completely new face and hides food under her pillow

She committed suicide and left letters detailing the abuse she underwent at the hands of her manager, who beat her and forced her to have sex with powerful men. She named 20 high profile men who had done so in her letters, however only 2 were ever charged with with anything. Sadly, the court ruled just last year that the letters she had left were "fabricated" leading many to believe that the scandal had further implications with the higher ups who had shut it down.>>11039They're all ignored by sm, if they don't gaybait twice as hard they'll get locked in the basement.

>>11063I'm not shipping eww no way.
Anyways the video I saw was kinda weird it was more like fighting. So, it was at the really far back of the stage where you couldn't really see cuz it was dark, so anyway yuta was kinda far away from winwin dancing or whatever, and then Jaehyun comes up out of nowhere and puts his arm around winwin and is acting really annoying. Yuta then comes and puts his arm around winwin and looks up at jaehyun and tries to pull winwin away, but jaehyun wouldn't let him. Then yuta is walking backwards while still looking (and seems upset)at them and winwin tries to pull yuta's arm and he pulls it back in a really hard and angry way. He runs off after that and winwin seems to call after him but yuta ignores him and jaehyun looks like he's enjoying it all.
NO, Im not a shipper, nor am I crazy, and the vid was not staged, you could tell. Don't get mad at me for posting this if you may, this is NOT about shipping.

>>11070i find obviously weird idol relationships interesting. i imagine living together and dealing with horrifying diets, stalkers, awful things like that must mean they have some kind of bond but if you don't get on with someone then you just don't get on with them, being around each other 24/7 is only going to make that worse. i just wish there were more moments of idols dropping their guard and making it clear where the cliques are. more taeyeon and jessica video compilations would be fun
>>11084talk about it then. bring up what you have to say, it's not that hard. the last i saw was that message screenshots were fake because they were dated 2015 but had photos from last year and talked about stuff that hadn't happened yet, so i'm waiting for another week to see what evidence builds up and see why fan excuses are bullshit.
>>11086most of the sponsors are male and more men want to fuck female idols than guys, it's just going to be something like the most twinkish boy in the group being targets rather than the majority of the group/trainees like with girls. someone like jaejoong in tvxq's debut days was very, very obviously getting passed around, it's no wonder he left sm. and there's female sponsors too obviously, just far far less.

>>11104Could be totally wrong on this, but I think richer idols are going to be treated better in this respect. Obviously it means they don't need the money a sponsor would get them, but a more powerful family is going to help. I've never thought jokes about Jennie have that much weight behind them because of this, it's just an easy joke to make. Obviously nobody's immune - especially if there's more force than just a lot of gross persuasion going on - but the flood of idols from wealthy backgrounds could just be about some more families only wanting their kids going into the industry if they have a little more power.
There's less stories about idols being practically homeless before they were given a dorm now, idols start off with money.
>>11048 pointed out that there's some very rich members in NCT, meaning rich families who could sue and idols who are more likely to turn down offers and risk being overshadowed. And since
>>11093 mentioned Jaejoong, he was one of the dirt poor idols under SM, along with being the designated twink type boy in TVXQ. There is no way he wasn't a target among trainees and after he debuted, but he's only just admitted to being sexually assaulted by sasaengs, he's not going to get more open about the industry soon. I didn't like that being an idol is basically just a hobby for CEO and doctors children now, but I guess at least it does mean there's less vulnerable young people there. If the rich and powerful idols aren't saying much now, then the ones with nothing to fall back on have absolutely no voice. And the ones with stage parents willing to let their kids be abused for fame… no words there.

One of them threatened to photoshop my avi and username into a kkt conversation and make it seem like I'm a rape apologist, to prove how easy it is to fake screenshots. My tweet also made its way onto an account that's dedicated to screencapping everything negative about Bigbang and encouraging their followers to report users & send screenies to YG himself. They're legit insane. Seungri could go to jail and his fans would still make excuses and continue to kiss the ground he walks on. I mean, Bigbang has already gotten off the hook for sexual assault, manslaughter and drug scandals…why not pimping, too?

bts started fangirl attention when i need u came out with the ~deep~ ~thoughtprovoking~ mv that had an 18+ version (just for some mild blood kek) and that set off a thousand fanfictions on ao3. thats what started it, bts ~wasnt like the other bands~ because they loosely wove together a bullshit storyline for a mediocre song.
the fandom filled in the blanks with the gay, but bts never were fake humping eachother on stage while shirtless, because lets be real, none of them have the physique for that.

After he was outed for that he said he was depressed and then "tried to commit suicide" by ODing on sleeping pills. The incident is really foggy with YG claiming he was in a coma while doctors and the military stating he never was.

>>11346The infamous blind item about this:
Top star A is from an idol group. He has perfect looks and talent. He was very popular among female celebrities, but a top star B could control A. B has perfect looks and is wanted by men. They worked in different fields. They were an official couple in the industry. Apparently, B's popularity came from a sponsor she had. She wasn't asked to serve service for her sponsor and she had a good relationship with him. The sponsor heard about B's relationship with A and got mad. The sponsor slapped B. Unfortunately, A found out about it and also got mad. A bluntly told B, "I can't date you since you're getting beaten up!"
They ended up breaking up, but A still loved B. Whenever he got drunk, he texted B but B strictly refused A's appeal. A kept calling B endlessly. A came to do a critical act - he tried committing suicide. Fortunately, A was found by his manager and the incident was wrapped up without any problem.
B heard the news and got scared. Afterwards, B avoided A. shortly after, A dated another female celebrity C. While A was clinging on B, A felt for C.
Cray-cray fan comment:
>[+25, -12] Long-term fans all know TOP's personalities. TOP is not careful and he's like a glass. He's emotional and he never does what he hates. He's like fire and a loser… He's annoying and he makes others tired. His personalities are great if he's just a light friend that you joke with. But if you go deeper, you'll get tired. If he's concerned or hurt, he never shares or shows it. He ends up causing an accident after suffering himself. On the outside, he pretends as funny and carefree like bingu, but on the inside, he's full of random thoughts and is pessimist. He's not mentally strong… He tries hard to control himself but his two-faced personalities are too strong. You can sometimes see it on the broadcast and he uses it in his lyrics a lot. It's not that pleasant… I just want to like his outside image but it only makes me frustrated when he shows the inside ㅋㅋ It's so tiring to live like TOP ㅋㅋ They're making him work when he wants to die.

>>11424I truly don't know. The articles that are being written about them and the Billboard cover are all breathless declarations that the queens have now come to bless American shores and will shortly dominate the US as it is ordained. All of it is nothing short of bizarre mediaplay where the label hopes that if they push something down people's throats enough and scream that they're the next big thing loudly enough eventually people will be brainwashed into believing it. That shit doesn't work in America, you need to have SOMETHING to back it up. Even Cardi B with all her Atlantic payola had genuine hype because of her larger-than-life persona that lots of ppl fell in love with for some reason. Ariana Grande was megapushed since 2014 but she has genuine talent. If you want to blow up in America you have to have one or the other, preferably both.
I don't know if YG paid Interscope or what kind of deal they worked out but they are pushing hard. It works in YG's favor since their stocks have not been the same since Big Bang went to the army and now with the Seungri scandal shit is even worse then before. Mediaplaying about American success that doesn't exist yet might be YG's way of impressing investors enough to keep them from fleeing a burning ship. But it's all a bit bizarre. BP's billboard cover declares that after years of training they've finally touched down in the US!!

the government admitted it is a distraction to attract interest in korea rather than for everyone to be repulsed and dismissive of it as a cesspool with no history, extreme poverty, and rampant abuse. And it worked. SK tourism exploded with the second generation of hallyu, the language has been thriving for years, and they're bringing in a lot more profit from international sources. It will fade though and already is I believe. They're getting desperate by adding idols of other Asian backgrounds now to groups because they know they're losing their grip. The biggest companies are failing. Now, as opposed to having a multitude of groups that were considered powerful moneymakers and international sensations, they have a couple of boy groups and handful of girl groups and they're all plastic frauds with no actual talent, no dance skills, no natural visuals, and barely any personalities. If BTS were to disband right now it would be catastrophic for the industry because literally who else is there? Same with a couple of girl groups. Because its all about hivemind. BTS' fame is hinged on collective twitter hivemind and thats it and its all Korea really has going for it right now. No one goes to Korea for Kimchi.

>>11504the worst of their scandals didn't hit until 2011, and then they immediately had one of their biggest years ever in 2012. i don't think their music is that far above other groups, but their music is consistently really popular. that, being one of the earlier idol groups who wrote music, and having probably one of the most famous and aspirational men in korea in your group helps.
the biggest scandals you can have are drug related ones and japanese nationalism ones, and until recently bigbang were still pretty light on those. the way sex scandals get criticised makes them easier for fans to defend, too. idols don't get criticised much more for sexual assualt or otherwise gross relationships than they do for regular, normal sexual relationships so it's easy for fans to then say it's unfair that sex becomes a scandal

>>11508I feel like G-IDLE is what BlackPink’s trying to emulate and failing to do so.
Anyway, the more I look at Jennie, the more overrated her looks seem to be in my eyes. Like she clearly has cute features but those comments from fans and Knetz about her looking “luxurious” or clearly being the group’s visual or whatever make me go “???” My confusion is even furthered after seeing her without makeup. I mean, Rose and Lisa get more shit than Jennie does about their appearances but I find that they align more with Korean beauty standards than Jennie does in some ways (like both of them are taller, Lisa has a small face + big eyes, Rose is paler with thinner facial features).

No. 11591
>>11581loads of male idols have called out their sasaengs. GD called them out, EXO members, Zico. JYJ and Changmin went crazy on sasaengs, to various extents. JYJ and TVXQ have some of the absolute worst sasaengs, Jaejoong’s said he’s woken up to women on top of him and molesting him and that one of the one’s he recognises bought an apartment opposite his to see him.
sasaengs might be fun for an idol when they’ve just debuted like Wanna One and are just hardcore fangirls who adore you, but it’s always been way worse than “uwu it’s just 5’1” girls with cameras”. Plenty of them are adult women with the money to fund their stalking. You don’t need to be tall to drive a car recklessly and deliberately try to cause an accident so your idol will get out of the car, or to break into someone’s home at night. Korea’s laws on stalking aren’t great, unsurprisingly, and companies know sasaengs might still create money, and idols can be called ungrateful or too mean for harshly criticising stalking behaviours. The vast majority of idols do not have a lot of power over people backed up by their management and the law. Speaking up isn’t going to stop sasaengs, management aren’t going to help, and speaking up might just risk being known as an idol with a bad attitude. it’s better to just shut up and hope they get bored in a year or two. If idols didn’t like sponsors in the industry, more would just say it!

a woman left the cult a few years ago and spoke openly about how fucked up it is. she was invited to the church to have a "discussion" and later found dead. her skull had been smashed in. the police ruled it an "accident."
anyway, bogum's parents are part of the cult, so he was born into it. the pastor was even the one who named him. he doesn't talk THAT much about it because he gets backlash every time he does, but he's confirmed he's a member and that he doesn't want to marry or be close with anyone outside of the cult. so all things considered it's extremely unlikely taehyung isn't also in that cult.

>>11606but the majority and the worst of boyband sasaengs are NOT teenage girls, that's just what their defenders say to make them seem less threatening. it isn't teenage girls buying cars and flights and whole fucking apartments to get closer to the idols they're stalking. people are conflating over-enthusiastic fangirls with sasaengs but only talking about the worst male sasaengs. the sasaengs aren't the teenage girls who go to every fansign or write a possessive letter or two, obviously those people are nowhere near as bad as male stalkers who'd fit in as a character in perfect blue. actual male idol stalkers are terrifying and have 0 sense of what is appropriate human behaviour, how you can break into someone's home, grope them, threaten their family and friends, steal their belongings and personal details, but still think they're your boyfriend is insane.

>>11600That wouldn't surprise me. Lots of idols are mixed but just can't say anything. Actress Jun Ji Hyun is straight up Chinese or half-Chinese and had to hide it. Yoona I think was also suspected as being mixed. But this is a country where back when Suju debuted, their Chinese member had to wear a mask to cover his face to come out on broadcast, so yeah they're xenophobic as fuck. If Jennie really was half SEA or had SEA genes it'd be harder for YG to promote her as an it girl.
Think about it. How many it girls in Korea are foreign or mixed? I mean huge individual CFs, acting, solos? Even Ivy and Hyori back in the day got shit for looking 'foreign.' All the it girls are considered full Koreans. No matter how popular kids like Tzuyu, Sana, Somi, Cheng Xiao etc. are they'll never rise to it girl status and have the opportunities that Suzy, Yoona, Krystal, Sulli, Hyeri, Seolhyun, Irene etc. have.

Honestly, at this point, Loona stans are starting to sound like armys.
They're all claiming that Loona is actively being sabotaged by Korea because of their international success, and that they don't want "another BTS", in which, a group from a small company blows tf up. A huge distributor for albums called Kakao M basically fucked up Loona's album orders and didn't make enough, whilst they managed to do everything perfectly fine for Monsta X.
What do you anons think? I personally think Loona stans are whiny and have deluded themselves into believing Loona is popular anywhere that isn't twitter. Yes, their audience has grown, but nowhere in Korea.
Also, do you believe that it's possible that Korea does this to any group that isn't apart of a well known company.

There were also rumors that SM's new CEO or someone high up was a woman that hated the female acts in their company and that a lot of female trainees were leaving. And finally there was a bit of talk about Lami and whether or not she aged badly much like Jihyo was assumed to have.
But recently there was a female trainee that got featured in Taemin's latest song. I don't know if she's meant to debut and people are already saying she was an iljin…

I'm pretty sure yg is only announcing this to save face because even people in korea are talking about the empty seats and the 'sold out tour' lie, not to mention the billboard bp cover isn't selling (so billboard has to beg people to buy every hour on twitter). And at the same time BTS and Twice are adding new dates to their stadium/dome tour so YG, ever the jealous rat, decides he's going to put out more fake news to keep up appearances.
BP is being set up to fail. YG is so desperate they're more popular than they are they overstep and peddle lies that are easily squashed. What's funny is BP's braindead stans continue to eat up the lies and mediaplay even after it's proven time and time again that YG is a liar.

he’s the jimin-jungkook hybrid of nct anyway, just with different issues. watching him barely bite food compared to everyone else in this video makes me think he’ll be the first to graduate from nct despite that not being the plan. at least the constant member additions mean that if sm need somebody out of the group, they can make it happen and pretend it was always supposed to

So Takahashi Juri (pd48) is graduating from akb and debuting under woolim in a new girl group they’ve got lined up. I hope she doesn’t get fucked over too badly

>>12786i’m sure people are going to cream themselves over it, because it’s proof that kpop is way better than that nasty jpop because it gets higher youtube views and appeals to foreigners more, but chances are she’s going to be treated worse in korea because of her nationality and she’s going to kill any chance of doing well if she goes back to japan. at least she’s old enough to hopefully understand that and choose what she wants and isn’t just a 14 year old koreaboo who wants to be closer to oppa and forgets what that’s going to mean. at least chinese idols manage to ditch korea easily if they’re treated worse than the rest of their group
speaking of 14 year old kboos, hyuna’s dancing is at the level of the kinds of terrible dance covers that get posted every so often. why is nobody in her life letting her know how embarrassing she is?

>>12799Yeah they definitely are. Loser will never be popular in Korea, and in japan itself idols are rarely ever popular or even known so idk what will change for her kek
