The Korean article says the contract was terminated instead of not being renewed.

This is why I question how Seventeen and Stray Kids sale 4 million albums in a week while BP and BTS dont.
Like 90% of album sales are from people in Korea (along with the huge solo fandoms in China).
I remember some other idol (or former idol) also said music shows are long and boring filming days for the idols, but the promotion benefits are not that great. The shows have very low ratings and most fans just watch their biases' stage online, so they aren't getting exposed to the other artists who performed.
The shows get low TV ratings but those performances/fancams rack up thousands or millions of views on youtube and twitter.
From the articles, she already has all the ADOR executives aligned/to agree with her. So it appears they wanted HYBE's stock to tank and also influence HYBE directors to agree to a sale. The Mr. A guy used to work for HYBE and brought over all the trade secrets to ADOR as well. Google "Hostile Takeover"
The claim is they're trying to get investors (who are aligned with her ideals) and force HYBE to sell their 80% to these investors.
It looks fake. After yesterday's fiasco with Gowon supposedly cast as Strawberry Shortcake you'd think AKP would do more vetting on these user contents especially by Orbits.
Considering that the entire One Piece cast is following her now, I wouldn't think it's fake.
Is Allkpop losing traffic or something?! What even is this post.
This is the second article about the same thing ready...
This is the first article about making a direct apology to the person? There was another article where she made a public general apology.
She's too focused on finding either unfounded or taking company direction for marketing to pick anything good.
You do know it's the exact same image used by the source SWAY?
Does Sophie Ha purposely pick out the most unflattering photos for her article headers? 🙄

If you think that's considered good economy, then you are deeply mistaken... Lol
Yeah, I rather follow the opinions of economists and the OECD, calling Korea an advanced economy and one of the highest economies in the world than some random internet boy.
If you think TXT members received majority of that, you are mistaken. People need to realize, all idols don't make millions of dollars every comeback. Even how people think BTS and Blackpink members each have like 500 millions in career earning is not true. Those members probably just under 100 million in career earnings each (maybe around 80 million dollars) which is still a tremendous amount in Korea standards. Korean economy is bad that even the richest person in Korea is a molecule compared to other richest people in the world.
How are you gonna say "Korean economy is bad" when it's 13th in GDP in the world (30th in population) and recently surpassed Japan in GDP per capita? Your reasoning that all because Korea doesn't have a person on top 100 wealthiest person is dumb, that doesn't speak for the Korean economy at whole. That just means one of the Chaebol people don't own a bunch of stocks. The vast majority of Elon Musk wealth is because he owns like 30-40% of Tesla stocks. If a Samsung chaebol owned like 30-40% of Samsung stock then their net worth is suddenly 150 Billion and one of the wealthiest people in the world. But the original Samsung founder gave his children the stocks then the grandchilden and so on. It gets diluted and not one person owns over 5% of Samsung stock, hence you don't have one person with tremendous wealth (although they're all Billionaires).
I understand why they changed the date. But seriously? Nothing can ever happen on April 16th? All they were going to do was release an album. That's business. Does everything stop on April 16th? No movies? No dramas? No concerts? No ball games? Maybe restaurants and bars should close too. I mean, come on. Are we taking this just a little to far?
Because it's the 10th anniversary of one of the biggest tragedies in Korean history? There's a difference between a business closing versus releasing a movie/drama/music on a specific date.
Can someone please enlighten me if this singer Meenoi is popular in k-entertainment to be seeing her a lot in the news lately?
She is a little known artist but she became famous because her Youtube channel blew up and she would invite famous celebs like Squid Game Lee Jung Jae:
I AM Korean and I live in Mapo... I think I would know more than you about our economics... Just saying. When I said we're one of the worst, I don't mean ACTUAL worst. We're not even in the top 15. Compared to the other major countries is what I'm saying.
And I never said they're not rich. Of course they are well off, but a lot of these kpop fans that think they know it all say the members from those groups have like almost 500 million dollars in earnings which if fact isn't true at all.
I am Korean and used to live in Seocho. Not Top 15? South Korea is currently 13th in GDP: https://www.worldometers.info/... South Korea has a higher GDP per capita than Japan. What are you talking about? What do you mean groups don't have 500 million in earnings? Of course BTS doesn't get the entire 1 Billion in earnings (combined from concert revenue, album sales, merch, etc.) The members still earn a lot though, around $30-$40 million for each member annually, which is what a top athlete would earn. The BTS members were also gifted stock (worth around $40 million now) the members sold some of it off. Bang Si Hyuk is a billionaire but it's not like the BTS members are hurting for money.
Non-Koreans have to realize that Korean economy is one of the worst in the world. Revenue and earnings are not split up the way you think and that includes regular salaries which is why even minimum wage is complete garbage here. Even very well-known artists in major labels don't make as much as you think you would. Like for example how people say BTS and Blackpink members earned like 300-500 million dollars is not true at all. That would mean they'd be one of the richest people in all of Korea.
What kind of uninformed comment is this? Korea has one of the best economies in the world. BTS and Blackpink earn enough. Jungkook bought $10 million worth of condos in cash. He's doing pretty fine.
Who said he looked like Song Joong Ki? The article doesn't mention it or even reference it. Is this article an advertorial or something?
Do you know Korean. The literal Korean article title is:
유재석 옆 송중기 ‘닮은꼴’…30대 돈방석 앉았다
AKP doing my king injustice again.
Under People Crew's tutelage, he participated in the release of the Korean hip-hop album Korean hiphop Flex(대한민국 힙합플렉스 2001) in 2001, becoming the youngest Korean rapper at 13 years old.
Participating in a random song is not debuting. Debuting is releasing your own official album under a group or solo.
Mercedes Benz isn’t cheap especially with the high maintenance cost. It’s literally burning money and the value goes down every year. Then Korea being such a small country not sure why anyone would buy a car.
"Then Korea being such a small country not sure why anyone would buy a car." - Really? The Dallas metro area is a lot smaller than Korea, I don't know why anyone in Dallas would buy a car? Korea might have a good public transit system but it doesn't go everywhere and some people prefer driving. Also going from Seoul to Busan is 3-4 hours driving. Want to go to the beach on the weekend? Drive 1 hour from Seoul.
Years ago, there was an article like this speculating on prospective YG trainees that were likely to become BabyMonster. Literally none of the girls in that article ended up being in BabyMonster.
https://www.allkpop.com/articl... Doesn't seem completely wrong
Did I miss something? When did they change the title. I thought the title was 'You have done well'.

This a user posted article.
I remember 10 years ago, people on AKP were asking can anyone break 1 million album sales? Then BTS finally did it and album sales skyrocketed ever since. It's crazy that Seventeen in 2023 alone sold more albums than all the artists in 2014 and 2015 combined.
Not a brothel, it's a club where you drink with women. They may or may not have sex with you. If you offer them big money then they probably will. You pay for their time to hang out with you while drinking.
sooo, she didn't 'lose' the deal, the contract just expired and they selected new models? business as usual?
