I think at this point she should just bow down graciously... and take the L.

It's not that hard,  they were basically trying to get investors that has more money than HYBE. They leaked private info and try to frame it on HYBE as a breach of trust, and they can force HYBE to sell their shares as usual contracts has an amendment clause for a shareholder's exit. It a similar thing Kakao and LSM's nephew did to LSM and HYBE. They just need a buy out from a different company. And it looks like she already has other directors willing to take the fall. "allegedly"

I don't think Junhyung was actually part of the actual chatroom. He knew about JJY having sex and even saw some of the vids but he didn't know that JJY was actually doing SA. He didn't pry nor dwelled deeper on the subject.

You forgot the key term "traditionally". Although I agree to what you most said, Starting from late 2nd gen, some (not all) agencies were blending the importance of having a solid album. It's not like before where there really is only one good song (title song) and the rest are trash just fill the album. Newer gen actually have a pretty solid albums. Although I know what you mean because I am Korean. Idols aren't considered singers like how International fans seem to think K-Idols are. They are Idols, not singers. The International fans don't quite get the distinction. They think K-Idols are musicians. Which is not the concept of what being an idol is in Korea. They are idols who just happens to sing and dance for the fans. Singers have to sing live. Idols don't. The dance aspect is more important than their singing. A singer has their songs to speak for themselves while the reason an Idol's song go big is because of the idol's name and popularity and not really because of the song. Traditionally, that is. I sometimes find it funny when International fans think Korean fans are too over the top when requesting for things because they totally miss the key points of an idol concept. Idols wear a mask, what you see as them in the camera or fan meets or during their idol comebacks is not the real them. The International fans don't understand that even the idols' attitude is fake and it's just an act to attract fans. It's a mask they wear to get more fans.

It's more about the terms of the contract he willingly signed. He knew what he was getting into so I don't feel bad about it. It's about taking responsibility to the craft/job/career he willingly signed up for. Also, there are quite a few K-idols who have transitioned out of being an idol, and that usually is after they finish their contract and they are able to have more clout because of their popularity (thanks to their fans) to have the contract more on the terms they want. Again, they are not musicians like the West. They fully know the difference between what an idol and a singer is in Korea. Musicians from the West =/= Idols in Korea.

It's the way he said it. The terms he used to emphasize is basically "I'll do it coz you guys want it but I hate doing these things." Then basically said he just want to perform, make music/concentrate on performances. He wants to be a 가수 not an 아이돌. He offended his fans enough that they didn't even use "Idol A" and just flat out showed his face.

Because Korea has a different definition on what an idol, an artist, and a singer/musician is. He signed up as an idol so all idol rules apply to him. 

I think she got it done before the competition because of the unnatural height and smoothness of the bridge, and the sides are thicker than they should. I work at a surgery center atm, and it takes up to a year for the nose to actually have it's final form. The swelling takes a while and the cartilages will continue to heal. We get a lot of patients come in post surgery "unhappy" with their nose and we tell them they have to wait. Also, I actually prefer the noses done in Thailand and Philippines more as it looks more natural and harder to spot while in Korea, the clients prefer a "Western" nose like really high bridges even if it doesn't fit the face, but since they paid for it, we just follow along even if we tell them a different nose would match their face more.

yeah... the worst one is the one where he was biting his finger. the focus was on the ring not even on Eunwoo. Should have focused on his eyes instead... And the lighting and shadows are off like the one with his arms are up and the rest of him was in the shadow, this could have been a great shot if they put the lighting up towards him so streaks of light would pierce through adding a dramatic silhouette . Most the pics look like the photographer was more focused on taking pictures of the jewelry LOL. to be fair, pics 2, 4, and 5 were decent. But at the same time pretty text book.

The Korean GP thinks 4th gen started 2020. So in Korea, people think Stray Kids is not 4th Gen. IZONE is definitely not 4th Gen. They think STAYC is the beginning of 4th gen. HYBE tried to market TxT as 4th gen but the general public ignored it as well. The GP mostly follow the decade generation shift.

It's really about pride. Koreans are prideful people. I was one before, sadly. Well I guess I can still sometimes be prideful ㅋㅋㅋ

I guess I just learned to let go or just to take a chill pill. I used to really take everything personally even if it happened years ago. Like a really petty side. But ever since I moved to the US, I have chilled out more and just let the small stuff slide, for example, during work, it's one ear in, out the other. For context as well, the level of pettiness Koreans have can pretty much explain the "bullying" scandals celebrities get accused of nowadays. It could have been an argument or incident from grade school but that classmate of yours will let that incident fester and toil inside until you become successful just so they can ruin you.
