The tweet thread is deleted now but someone that worked at the Soldier Field stadium tour date said Bighit banned all the trained female staff from working 15 minutes before the start of the show because of a 'no females allowed backstage policy.' This includes the showrunner with 10 years plus experience (who had worked with Beyonce, etc) because she was a female. So she had to be radio-ing in and organizing from off set or something. It apparently was total chaos.
the original tweet thread that was deleted but here's what was said:
https://twitter.com/btstarot/status/1127567011746320385If this is true bighit must believe every female that comes into contact with bts has secret designs to try to get into their pants regardless of their work, station in life/profession/culture etc.

Obviously I don’t know the company’s reasoning but it seems like they’re trying to prevent any/all potential scandals aka protecting their investment. BTS seems incredibly controlled in that way and that might be why we haven’t heard any real scandals involving women (yet). Also, they can’t control or threaten or do invasive background checks the same way they can with Korean nationals.
Sounds like BigHit has a lot of paranoia after the GLaM incident, too.
I wonder if the same rules apply for Korean concerts?

>>31229First of all, where are you seeing a Dispatch couple announcement? I can't find anything about it, so link please.
Second, not sure how many of you are new to kpop but dating scandals have been super tame for like the past few years. Kai and Jennie were probably the most scandalous but there was literally just a pic of them walking together? At least when Baekhyun and Taeyeon were exposed, Dispatch had a pic of Taeyeon noona kissing Exo-Ls precious oppa in her Mercedes. Nothing can compare to way back then when Exo-Ls were so deluded and convinced that Taeyeon was evil and manipulating poor Baek, and that Taeyeon was a hoe who had dated sooo many idols in SM so Baekhyun was just a pawn.
So yeah, not expecting much from this. If anything, it'll probably be a 2nd gen idol that is washed up and dating some chaebol/actor/athlete, or an unheard of 3rd gen idol who isn't even known. Dispatch loves to exaggerate shit like "it's a TOP idol" when and when it's revealed it's like…Got7 or Momoland, lmao.

Not sure how many of you all watch PD X 101 but the voting = ranking shit is so annoying. Clearly the producers of this show aren't dividing screen time equally and they have their favorites for sure. I feel bad personally for people like Choi Soohwan who's super talented and deserves to be in the final lineup, but is already ranked #56 despite being impressive to the judges and being in A group.
Theoretically speaking, if you were to go on this show, it doesn't even matter to be talented to debut in the final lineup. All you need is a sob story and some charm, and some favoritism from the producers of the show. Bonus points if you're good looking. Best example is the slope-shouldered Kim Mingyu (pic related) who is so utterly talentless but looks like a poor man's Cha Eunwoo.
Comments on the show are shaming this season for being devoid of "visuals" but this is a show that is supposed to be about singing and dancing. It'd make far more sense to put the highest ranked in talent in the final group and to create a supergroup similar to a 10-member TVXQ.
Thoughts?

The issue is though, those guys won't fit the beauty standards and will be forgotten about. But honestly TVXQ aside from Yunho and post-PS Changmin and Jaejoong, are kind of ugly/average yet they're still remembered as legends.
>>31295I hate that I'm kind of becoming a fan of the poor kid. His story is actually kind of inspiring yet he didn't get plastic surgery before going on the show like Cha Junho (pic), who on the other hand, was a total eyesore but now 'passes' as a "visual" and is ranked not too low below #10 since he looks like Infinite L sans a few chromosomes. The weird thing is that Cha Junho is still ranked highly despite his "before" pictures getting leaked, and he's a confirmed uggo so I'm not sure what people are seeing in him as he's useless too.

>>31491Probably misremembering, but the way royalties are distributed to foreign idols (or foreigners in the music industry) is done on a country to country basis, and certain countries (including Thailand) will acknowledge one revenue of royalties but not another, and failure of a country to negotiate royalty agreements for its own idols fucks their pay over. CLC’s Sorn (another Thai idol) made a video about it a while back. She mentions another foreign CLC member who is impacted by the same issue.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is in effect to purposely screw over foreigners in the music industry, and is probably one of the many mechanisms in place to do that.

No. 31504
>>31501Many foreign idols do get scouted by Korean companies though. Like all these auditions in different countries aren't there just to find Korean talent, it's to find foreign talent too. And companies use the idols to gather fans in different countries as they cannot sustain themselves through Korean fans alone. Look at any YouTube comment section of a group with any Thai member for example, all the comments will be about them.
Some are also k-pop fans themselves
Companies exploit that fanbase while paying dust to the actual foreign idol. Cheng Xiao from WJSN (to use them as an example again) has zero lines in some of their songs, but they have no qualms in farming her out to variety to show off her backflips. The8 for Seventeen and Amber from f(x) got put on a show (can't remember the name) that got literal Korean kids to "teach" them how to speak Korean and treated them like they were stupid as if they couldn't speak Korean already.
Foreign idols go through so much more shit then the Korean members that I don't blame any of them for leaving or wanting to have a career in their homeland too.

I get the distinct feeling if they weren't in k-pop they would be dragged by these same people.
And then there are groups like ITZY where all the vocal talent is bizarrely located in the three non-vocalists. I*ZONE's lack of talent really gets me because they were picked from a fucking audition show. How come their vocals are much shittier than GFRIEND and CLC?

>>31548This made me remember when Kai from Exo "bullied" that girl from Gfriend by saying her dance is too easy.
While girlgroups have to deal with gross fans and can't say one thing without getting into a scandal, talentwise the bar for them couldn't be any lower. You have 10+ girls on a stage and
literally all they do is walk around, move their arms a bit and mumble something. Absolutely laughable.

No. 31758
>>31751I mean I think some groups have legitimately strong friendships usually due to suffering together since a young age. Like Seventeen who were all shoved into a dorm together when some of them were like 9 years old.
But it is clear that many relationships are purely business. Idols are also technically competing with each other for attention even in the same group, which no one seems to think about. Imagine all the catfights in ggs because of that

No. 31772
>>31767No one remembers the "Taengsic" ship that was like…non-existent? I think only like 14 people had their badge on OH when SONEs were everywhere, because Taeyeon and Jessica literally had like no fan service moments at all, and the pictures they did have together were so fake. Then the Taengsic shippers all hid them when Jessica's departure came out. I remember the stories about the formation of TTS initially including Jessica but because Taeyeon didn't get along with Jessica, they put Seohyun in the sub-unit instead. I remember also the gifs of Sunny looking sad/pissed off every time she'd promote post-OT9, and all the gossip that she was still friends with Jessica and was miserable without her.
I don't think much of it is true but it makes me so nostalgic to remember that it was always Taeyeon (and Tiffany as Taeyeon's own Gretchen Weiners) vs Jessica. That's just how everyone saw it though.
Damn I feel kinda like a loser for remembering all of this.
No. 31777
>>31762The biggest and most obvious case of gg beef was Taeyeon vs Jessica. Youtube alone has so many gems but anyone who kept up with the group could easily see that Jessica was slowly being iced out. Jessica was supposed to be in TTS, which was supposed to be TTJ (which makes sense since the subunit was supposed to be about the popular vocalists and Jessica was far more popular than Tiffany and her voice more distinct) but she got booted for Seoyeon because of Taeyeon. I also heard Jessica was jealous towards any one in the group who got close to her guy friends, like 2pm's Taecyeon and cat fights happened after that. Their last KCON before Jessica got booted you could cut the tension with a knife.
It always makes me wonder what's really going on in this big groups. Like in T-ara Hwayoung's sister threatened to cut up the face of one of the new additions, Areum. THe only difference between T-ara and other ggs is that they got caught by putting their own business on twitter, which is probably why companies control group accounts now. But I can imagine there being some jealousy and sloppy shit. Like in 2nd gen, people spilled that idols would switch partners between the groups (like a 2pm member banging a GG member, then breaking up and banging another GG member while she cheats on him with another 2pm member). Messy shit like that.
Tldr, massive amounts of drama follow these kpop groups and bullying is also probably pretty common.
>>31765In the older days, groups fought hard to be as good as they could be because they knew if they fucked up and didn't succeed they and their families weren't eating. Didn't Yunho sleep in train stations before he debuted in TVXQ? It's no wonder then new idols perform and sound like shit on stage. There's no desperation since they could quit today and just go be insta models and jet set across the world on mommy's dime.
>>31773I feel the sorriest for Maknae line esp jimin and jungkook because it's obvious they crave the spotlight and attention more than anyone in the group and will probably be unable to cope once they age, the fame goes away and the fillers catch up with them to fuck up their faces.

I believe a group called The Legend literally went without electricity cos their company didn't pay the bills. T-ara used to say how their company "forgot" to feed them frequently.

It's already being accepted by the gp and ofc, their fans. I'm just waiting for another fake win in Amrica of some sort and their exemption will be official.
I'm sure they'll try to oppose the decision to show how "ready" they to go when the duty calls.

Kyla implies in her Instagram post about the disbandment after a commentator blames her that she wants to spill the tea on the company. Imagine being these girls and training for 5+ years, longer than the average trainee period, particularly for Kyla and Xiyeon, who were with the company 9 and 11 years respectively- to only debut for 2 years.

Maybe they've given up on rv because Irene's getting too old for the group and the group is dead without her, and joy probably wants to do acting. That still doesn't explain why they waste their money on that flop group.

victims of the expectations thrust upon them by the GP.

>>33191i'm assuming its because it was SISTAR's marketing for them to badd ghurllz (therefore giving them armor). also, T-ARA's 'scandal' was manufactured by i-fans at a point when domestic sales were collapsing and their agency handled the situation badly and threw them to the dogs. now SISTAR are all approaching 30 and the public taste for these things changed.

Basically that´s why Jimin is crying every concert. Because the fans can feel special and moved by all the emotion and what they mean to him.
Let´s be real here, BTS are playing the game well and better than any other boyband before and propably after them.
Is this necessarily bad? Nah, boyband are boybands after all.

>>33181>>33183Rose never 'promoted' being an anachan. You're dumb if you think every eating disordered idol would encourage others to develop an eating disorder. Just because she appears in public with her toothpick legs showing doesn't mean that she's blatantly encouraging her fans to starve themselves. And I hate BlackPink but let's not pick on someone who is clearly struggling with a severe mental illness. If anything, her weight is a cry for help, but as we saw with Bom's plastic surgery addiction, YG isn't going to do shit and someone needs to actually intervene.
Afaik Rose hasn't even released an official "diet" that she follows like some other girl groups have.
This video I attached is what an idol 'promoting' an eating disorder looks like. If you want to see an idol that actually endorses horrible diets and suffers from extreme self-esteem problems then look no further than Luna's YT channel.
>>33184Again with making people with eating disorders out to be aggressors… you realize that these labels and Korean culture look down upon women who are even in the average BMI category. How are these women not supposed to feel pressure to diet? Just because some fans are too dumb and take their starvation diets as the gospel doesn't mean that they're directly endorsing these diets unless they explicitly say that they recommend them. Most celebrity diets usually have the celebrity saying "I get to binge once the promotion is over," and no, it isn't healthy but at least these celebrities are admitting that these diets are not sustainable and many of them are clearly in need of treatment (Wendy for instance).

Can't even shit on k-netz for this. They're agitating to send him and Seungri to jail. It's the retarded i-fans that continue this 'Papa YG' bullshit and will give him an escape ticket. I suspect this is the reason why his strategy has become more internationalist. Also Armys are not fucking helping by making this into a retarded stan war with Blinks

>>33344The fact that she has shown that she wants to move back to china and have a career there instead.
Not only because its literally her own home country, but also because theres more of a profit in acting and modeling and singing in china than there is in korea now? Why tf would she want to stay in a practically dead group, in a shitty company that mistreats the idols and clearly doesnt care about anything even their biggest groups? Not to mention the issues with China-SK relations. And shes already rich as fuck. Most idols that "take a break" from kpop groups only stay under contract with technicalities to save face with psycho fans who think if an idol leaves, especially to go to another country, they're a "traitor" before cutting ties completely once the contract is officially up. Plus this is fx we are talking about. Nobody in fx cares about the group as a whole anymore except Luna and thats just because shes desperate and overcompensating for the fact that no one likes her outside of that core fx fanbase. Even Amber has managed to get a life outside of the group and country. Krystal and Amber care about Luna Im sure. Thats why they showed up at her performance. But fans are being ridiculous and grasping for anything at all to convince themselves that fx is going to be a thing again. Especially with Victoria and/or Sulli, who have basically nothing to do with that stuff anymore and clearly prefer acting.

>>33343Yesterday I read comments about Laboum's Yulhee and jesus, nothing but people who defend her. For whose who don't know, she got pregnant and then left her group.
All the comments are from backwards SEA writing bullshit like "young girl being in love and starting family is wonderful!" "you hate babies?! she's sooo mature for not aborting" etc, while koreans and normal fans just pointed out that she broke a contract and was just a teen - which is definitely less than ideal, especially considering that according to herself the father isn't really helping her with the baby.
I know this is beating an old horse, but there's probably nothing that I hate more about kpop than bts whining about how hard they supposedly work.
This korean(!) figure skater "only" skates for 5 hours a day, yet qualified for the olympics. Meanwhile ratmon and co. are trying to make everybody believe that they dance 15 hours every single day, on top of their normal schedule…and sadly ratmy eat up everything they say.

>>33357>>33350correct me if i'm wrong but i always assumed most of the controversy with yulhee wasn't just bc she got pregnant, but bc she lied about it? she didn't tell her members or the company, continued performing while pregnant, then suddenly quit the group and disappeared. she didn't announce she was pregnant until like the month the baby was due, and the father was an idol in ftisland. then she returned to the public eye and wanted a lot of sympathy, which seems shitty since as anon pointed out
>>33354her behavior was so idiotic. having the baby wasn't a terrible thing to do (but was definitely irresponsible and sad considering the couple seems kinda miserable) but she doesn't seem very sorry for how her mistakes hurt people and she should be called out. nothing wrong with having a baby, but at least be mature about it.

I never said she isn't allowed to have the baby, I just want you and your likeminded SEA friends to stop kissing her ass for nothing.

In the end she's the one who has to bear through this, there already were articles in which she said that he doesn't help her at all - and this already during the first year of their marriage… Doesn't sound as rosy as they're trying to make it out to be, no?

Girl Group 01
Member L(Jessica) from a popular girl group has not been on friendly terms with her management, staff and fellow members (everything is strictly professional). Member L(Jessica) was told to go under the knife when she received a drama offer late last year. She was not keen on receiving the role and more so did not want to go through any plastic surgery procedure. She was also told that she was going to work on a musical project once she finishes filming all her parts. However, when she became adamant about the role and the surgical procedure her agency threatened her pull her off the musical project. So she went along with the agency’s decision. She was miserable with the initial surgical result and to make matters worse Member K(Taeyeon) who was also a part of the musical project requested the agency to replace L(Jessica) from the project with M(Seohyun), because L(Jessica) was unprofessional and argumentative during rehearsals. The agency also decided that it would be more profitable if they released the project earlier then planned. To top that Member K(Taeyeon) felt that M(Seohyun) was more deserving and the agency agreed. L(Jessica) was told about this change while she was shooting for her show, and as a result she felt she was back-stabbed by everyone involved excluding member M(Seohyun). Collaborative project was an instant surprise hit and L(Jessica) was not happy.
this was before everything happened
also, i remember netizens investigating, and not long after, the people on soshified doing damage control, and then one of them posting on their official account something along the lines of "wow you're such a fucking bitch" and that day two major jessica fansites shut down so everyone started to get scared that it was about jessica due to some shit posted on weibo
then a few weeks later jessica got knocked out by the body guard in the airport, and then like…the next week she made the post about being kicked from the group

That's why they're so unheard of, they do happen, statistically less than the US, but they're encouraged to abort or hide them.
The rate in those countries is supposedly lower but who knows if the stats are ever true?

>>33611Agreed. It's sad that they'll eventually be pushed aside by G-idle (who have a consistent theme and style) despite being more talented than them by a landslide. All of CLC can sing properly and perform well, but G-idle's only strong point is their rapper. Every time I watch that group perform I'm just waiting for someone to hit a wrong note or even for Soyeon to get off beat.
It's really unfortunate because CLC has had some really nice b-sides unlike a lot of girl groups. Cube worst company

>>33646The problem with G-Idle is that Soyeon is too integral to the whole setup. You remove her and you start to see the how some of the members completely lack the presence and talent she has, such as Shuhua.
With CLC I feel the only one that lacks presence at times is Seunghee, but she's still good at singing. I like both CLC and G-Idle's songs but performance wise I much rather watch CLC.

Lol just yesterday my sister who's an nct fan was telling me that a korean to spanish translator (korean woman who knows spanish) they hired for a concert they had in mexico made a vid about her experience, and she said that the staff told her to "be careful with him since he's 'japanese' his korean is not 'perfect' and it can be hard to understand his korean sometimes". The translator said translating for him was super easy and she would even forget he's non-korean at times so she doesn't understand why they would tell her that. What I find funny is that the staff didn't warn her about the two korean american members in the group even though their language skills is worse than his. Seems like they just wanted to take a dig at him because of where he's from.
Before anyone comes at me for being an nctfag, lol I'm not, my sister told me this because she knew I'd be interested in something negative regarding kpop.

>>33693that makes sense I guess. if you take into account how many groups were debuting 10 years ago versus today it feels like there's more of them, at least ones that somehow stay around, there were a lot of nugu flops in the late 00s early 10s whose companies didn't bother keeping them around but nowadays you'll see a lot more less successful groups continue to be dragged along like lifeless corpses trying to find success
in the case of groups like CLC who I actually like I'm glad they found success and conceptual footing but there's a lot of flop groups or failed groups who'd be better off disbanding
companies shouldn't take on than they can handle. I'm most disappointed in YG because there's not that many acts of his to be promoting and he can't promote them properly, look at akmu, the brother wrote songs for his sister before he went to the military hoping that yg would let his sister release them and yg hasn't even bothered to pull her out of the dungeon, her brother's finally coming back from the military and is going to be banished right back to the dungeon.
yg barely even gave Lee Hi a comeback and somi's debut was put the back burner over a month after what was supposed to be its expected release date. The only reason yg is even paying Lee Hi mind is to distract people from his scandals. not to mention the whole drama with CL and not allowing her to release music. this guy needs to stop being a judge on reality shows after the mixnine incident and stop taking trainees in if he's just going to ruin their lives and trap them in the perpetual yg dungeon, there were 2 girls who were former yg trainees on pd48 who trained for years only to leave the company, imagine wasting years of your life to not even debut bc your company's ceo is a fucking scumbag, the only reason miyeon from gidle was able to debut or the girl from fromis was able to as former yg trainees is that they somehow got lucky at other companies.

>>33728I have the impression that a lot of people underestimate exo's popularity. They might not be well-known internationally, but that's simply because their music is made for korea, while bts caters more to the american/international market. If even nct can get interviewed in the US, then so could exo, but they simply don't want or need to.
Bts is only liked in korea because they're "bringing honor" to the country or some bullshit, but the general public doesn't care much about their music, much less about individual members.
If exo was able to survive as many dating scandals as they had already (Kai had 2, yet is still one of the most popular members), then they'll also be fine after this.
I really wonder how ratmy would react if jimin were found to be dating lol
It's strange that he announced that so suddenly though. Xiumin leaving was a big drama and now he does that so quickly and quietly.
A while ago somebody said Yesung looks ana, but it seems that he only shaved of half of his face, the rest of his body looks normal.

>>33728A much as I dislike the exo members it's still kinda shitty how they were thrown aside by sm to make place for nct. Their early songs were really good. Growl alone is more popular among Koreans than any bts song really.

I think that sm will drop nct (they simply have too), like they did with fx, but it's still too soon (sadly lol). If they did that now, then everbody would shit on them for "destroying the future of so many poor boys"
I recently watched exo's debut and it was so different from the debuts of nowadays groups. They were dressed so shitty and had a super simply stage (and i think it was the same for bts too). But when bp, twice, nct and the likes just started out they were already dressed in brand clothes, got immediately popular etc, it kind of feels as if idols get more and more spoiled. And they will also have more debt, if companies invest so much in them before they even bring in any money, right? Of course it's not good to let them live like beggars either, but mindlessly spending money on them also seems like a stupid move.
No. 33783
>>33710He only really became popular with Shine, since he was featured a lot in the song and basically made centre. Look the songs before Shine and he's not as present.
Hongseok and Jinho were the most popular when they debuted cos Hongseok was on a survival show before and Jinho was ex SM. Nowadays Kino is probably the most popular.
I think Pentagon is a bit bland without him atm cos he helped write and produce most of their songs. They should just go in the direction of their last Japanese single tbh. Sha La La lacks and I hate the music video.

Does anybody know why companies never send the entire group to the military at the same time? 2 years is not that long, wouldn't it be better to just take a break as a whole and then immediately come back with all members instead of dragging it out for ages?
>>33784I think it's because they looked ugly-cute. Not attractive, but still somewhat natural or normal (even if they did get some things done). Meanwhile nct are also ugly, but already super plastic looking, which makes them appear less likable. Same for bts.
But that's a general trend for all kpop groups. A decade ago, everybody was just a lot more natural and now even 14-year-olds already went under the knive several times before debuting.

Whatever it is, kpop fans and ratmys should definitely not be the ones calling people out on racism or racially insensitive things.

They keep arguing that they've apologised but have they really? Has rm apologised for saying the n-word or for "imitating" back people?
Apologies have always come from the company because things like the holocaust or Hiroshima aren't small issues, and the rest are just buried by both bts and the fans. no wonder their fandom is so shit, hypocrites attract hypocrites.

>>33814You know that you can hate both…right? lol
But yeah, you can go for months without clicking on a single bts video and you'll still constantly have them in your youtube recommendations. Plus "Any Army here??? hehe"… Lately blackpink fans are catching up though. And on twitter it's loona stans, but only on twitter, no idea why.
Having a dozen sub groups, having an absolutely weird and inconsistent sound and not a single non-plastic member is what causes nct to just fail forever. No amount of sjw pandering will change that to the better.

>>33786Hell no, are you fucking kidding? Exo was a bunch of pretty boys when they first debuted. They looked like twinks, especially Luhan who straight up looked like a female. Exo was honestly the first SM group where I could literally smell the plastic surgery. I know Super Junior has had work done but the majority of them are still hideous so it's not as obvious.
>>33814NCTfag spotted.
NCT is infinitely worse. At least BTS came from the ground up, NCT is riding on the coattails of their predecessors while getting spoonfed by Lee Soo Man through obvious favoritism. And with all the money that SM puts into them, they still aren't relevant AT ALL nor do they have an actually good song, or any attractive members in general aside from Winwin.

this styling is hideous

>>34064This show feels more like modelling contest. I sometimes forget that it's an idol show because almost all articles I see on here are about their looks.
I'd love to see a "the voice" type
version of this cause then at least the initial stage would be determined by talent and the ones who have to engage in attention-whoring behavior to compensate for their lack of singing would get eliminated.

>>34106Idol Producer is a bit like that but instead of an absolute popularity/beauty contest it becomes pay to win towards the end, debatably worse. Watching all the genuinely talented and likeable trainees who made it to the top 20 get eliminated in favor of losers from rich companies hurts. Fuck Lay Zhang and fuck every Unine member except Jia Yi, Chunyang, and Zhenning.

>>34128 thats how he always looks. but also in the other pics he was actually smiling and happy so you really choose the wrong one.
but yeah looking dead is his thing
No. 34132
>>34124Because they're insecure in their own opinions, they always do this with everything related to bts (i would be insecure too lol). They know bts being woke/lgbt/talented is a fucking lie but won't admit because that doesn't add up with their narrative of bts being "perfect pure beings". Also, they know Kpop music is sometimes very
problematic, so they make all this shit up so people don't see them as enablers of a
toxic industry but "Poc lgbt kings" supporters, so everytime you dislike anything about them they have the right to go apeshit with you

Former underage prostitute talks on MBC’s Straight about Burning Sun.
https://www.koreaboo.com/news/burning-sun-underage-prostitution-vvip/Also, something else potentially- A new club opened up a few minutes away from BS 2 months after it closed, and a former BS employee says it’s the same as BS. If true, they’re getting mighty cocky or they know they’re going to get away with it.

https://www.koreaboo.com/news/dj-sofia-valentini-blackpink-racist/>>34189What did they expect?! They debuted what, a month ago? Why should anybody respect them or know anything about them? The reporters are probably pissed that they're shilled so hard. The only reason anybody knows them is because they're BTS Junior - or "dongsaeng" if you will.

If it is then they should have just went with "text" instead.

>>34162Why? She looks nice and isn't doing anything remarkable in the video. She's been around forever, she can do whatever she wants at this point.
Do you think you're going to look half as good when you're her age? Are you going to shut yourself in your room, read Harlequin novels in a muumuu, drink wine and only ever do what everyone else thinks is age appropriate? If no, you have no room to comment.
Unless she's dressed like a toddler or Catholic school girl I don't see the problem.
No. 34232
>>34231nta you replied to but - boa stan detected!
she looks way older than her age AND she doesn't look like herself because of the thousands of touch-ups her face has received over 2 decades - so it is safe to say that anon would look more decent at 30
and she is acting way to hard to stay relevant - her songs are not doing remotely as good as they used to do and that has gotta hurt! i don't think she is acting age-inappropriate but she definitely is trying to emulate chungha (another plastic monster) you can't deny that

>>34238Gross, i'm not a fan of akb at all, in fact I hate it more than any kpop stuff. I meant that if those akb girls can do it then anyone can. I don't see how that's complimenting them, I was pretty much setting them as the lowest standard
>>34235Exactly
No. 34245
>>34235That's a really good point. There's this girl (don't know her name) who posts dance covers at the same time as the song is released cause she looked at fan cams of their comeback performances or something and already learned the dance.
Meanwhile some idols cannot even get the steps right and are stiff af.
