For real! I was just thinking that! I miss Infinite challenge, strong heart etc. even running man is really not that great as it used to be. They really don’t make them like they used to. The only recent one I liked one was 2nights1day, but stopped watching it once they kicked off seonho. But I seriously miss infinite challenge the most 😭😭😭

the companies confirming it is going to make things much more difficult for both of them. They are going to be hounded with questions by their fans and the paps. keeping it neutral is for the best. Unfortunately, people react much stronger to idols dating than actors and not in a good way. i dont care about defending companies but lets think logically

Yes, I was a big fan of him and GOT7 but he outright supported the CCP when Hong Kong was protesting CCP intervention in elections and way of life. And he used to say really proudly that he’s from Hong Kong, but ultimately sold out. 

I dont think thats what she was saying. Yes there were bad practices even 10 years ago, well aware as fans since that time, but idols were older. the trend in kpop rn is to debut them younger and younger. Taemin debuted at 14 or 15 which was an anomaly back then, and he has struggled with that, but most groups debuting were in their 20's. obviously restricting diets at any age is bad, but much worse when they are their growing stages which is their teenage years. 

like the netizens said, there are plenty of groups now with members in different companies that still comeback together. They're grown adults who have to make the best decision for themselves, their lives and their careers. 

LMAO! I get how you can get confused but he's talking about the Marine as in the military branch and the culture within that branch of the military. lol 

YG has tried to also keep an image of exclusivity for a long time. It started with GD. Once they figured that if they can keep their artists image and publicity exclusive then there will be more demand for them and creates a bigger hype. its worked for some, like blackpink, but not for others like IKON and winner. But idk why they dont figure that cookie cutter approach to all the groups or artists dont make sense

He used to say that when he was trying to promote 2ne1 (and belittle them at the same time because of their talent, as if 2ne1 were also not attractive and beautiful). but yeah someone else said it the best, they were made to be influencers not really singers or artists. They invest hardly any money on them for producing albums and songs and focus on getting them designer endorsements and ad deals

if everyone reacted violently once their sentiments are hurt, we would be in a very violent world. if he was offended, he should have said that to him privately and get an apology that way. thats the whole point of non violence. 

I agree, they might need support, but that means getting their consent. No matter how well meaning the other person might be, if the victims herself does not want to deal with it, then its her choice. To do otherwise would be taking power away from the victim which defeats the whole purpose. Getting justice is more than just making the perpetrator feel bad, its also for the benefit of the victim. 

because no one is gaining anything out of exposing them. the victim wont feel better, the bully wont be a better person because they got exposed. the only thing accomplished is getting revenge, which is petty, especially if this happened when they were 14/15yrs old. Especially in Korea, this is social murder, they are really putting that person up for lifelong prejudice, they will always be assumed as a bad person, it will be hard for them to get a job etc. now if they haven't changed which is something you determine after trying to get an apology from them, maybe the victim can pursue other routes, but even then letting go and forgiving them is probably better for the victims soul and peace of mind

the victims wishes should be the primary importance, especially since this is not a criminal case. It should be that person's choice because otherwise the victim is not getting any closure or healing, its just creating drama

yeah it sounded from his recent interviews he wants to put his own stuff out there. it might be a while after we hear all of big bang come together again. but i am excited to see what he comes up with, the stuff that he was allowed to release under YG was super interesting and different, always wondered why he didn't release more music.
