I find fans are more open to their idol relationship after the 7th year or 10th anniversary, or when the idol age is in the 30s.. this is in stark contrast to Karina cos she is only 24 and aespa is still 4th year of debut.. I am not against her having a relationship but I find K-fans seems to be more toxic against it if it happen under 7 years.. their 1st contract..
i am sure if Aespa had a relationship after 2027 or 2028..their 7th year.. it will not be as bad.
She attended YJS Youtube program after coming back from Coachelle what a hectic schedule..hope she gets a few days of rest.
Back in Knowing Brothers, Sakura say she bring a 5year dairy to Korea and now has 2 years left. Le Serafim has only 2 years left?? It was a joke back then.. hmm 🤔
i hope LSF dun get affected in the media.
Sure, I did draw up some possible scenarios. But I never acted upon them."
..
the intention to do so, is already bad enough.. for HYBE to consider you a traitor.
FNC has been going downhill ever since the AOA scandal and then the CNBlue member involvement in the Golden phone scandal,
SF9, N.Flying, Cherry Bullet. SF9 has had 5 music show wins, while N.Flying has 2. It got to the point even Yoo Jae Suk who signed on also left..I wouldn't recommend anyone be their trainee..
I never understood why ppl want to take sex videos of themselves and their partners in the first place, to watch it again?? Why do something and then worry if it will get released? It's like you are creating a content that could potentially ruin you and your partner.
i see some cases the bf ask the gf to take nude photos of her to send to him..and she does it because she worry he won't like her if she dun.. and then when they break up, he has all the nude photos of her and threaten to release it.
she literally just handed him something that could ruin her.
Hyeri apparently broke up in Dec 2023, so it's could be possible this Ryu Joon Yeol dated someone new in 2024 and has nothing to do with the breakup.
i feel the public will feel .. so he is exempt due to KNEE injury but than a few years later he will be dancing around on Stage.. isnt it strange?
i mean even Kim Heechul who had an accident from a car and had knee surgery also served in the service unit, so i guess when the public hear of his exemption, they will likely compare the 2 cases.
i feel why not assign him to a unit that doesnt need for him to use his knees as much, you know for example he can be assigned to the military band, and play something like a bass or guitar, where he can either sit down to play or stand. like Shinee's Key and BTOB Chang Sub.
I kind of have a feeling it won't last long.. given that in 2nd half of 2024 aespa has a concert tour and they will have little time to meet up eventually.. I guess it's okay these days for idols to have dating news once in a while.. I am glad some fandoms are supportive.
THE DAMN SHIPPING COSTS! In my case since I only but 1 album of an artist, the shipping costs are actually higher than the album, which is ridiculous.
This is why in the past, GD was the first artiste to try out not including a CD in his album but a USB stick and that USB stick doesn't even contain the MP3 songs but just a link/app to go download the song.
but back then in 2009, Golden Disk Awards said that because the album does not have the actual song but a link to a website to get the songs, it cannot be classified as a PHYSICAL album sale. And hence Heartbreaker was denied an nominee in the Disk Bonsang but only in the Digital Bonsang
but these days many agencies have various types of Albums..from Regular CD album to just photo cards only and some only have a photobook album.
For many groups, songs are getting shorter but album price is not dropping with it. Maybe I need some convincing that an album that's 2/3rds the length is still worth as much money.
The majority of the artists earning isn't from Album sales, the earnings from CF endorsement, concert tour, make far more than selling 1million copies of albums which is ard USD 11 or 14 each..
There are some celebs who pass all their $$ to their parents as they are young, some parents are good at management and will handle the huge amount of money well and even invest it.
while some parents will spend it and incur a debt and make all of their children efforts making millions turn to nothing.. after 7 or 8 years.. it's really sad.
I feel online concert for me as a overseas kpop fan is still important,
lets say there is 6 or 8 concerts in a year I want to watch, from IU, Taeyeon, maybe TWICE, RV, IVE, LSF, Aespa etc etc..
and Assuming all of them did come to my country and hold a physical concert, the cost to goto all of them in person is crazy even if i am working..it's easily over a few thousands even if I dun go for the best category tickets.
if half of it or all of it have online versions, I can opt to selectively go to 2 or 3 in person and buy the online tickets for the others.
and also some kpop groups seldom or never goto some countries like maybe in Middle East for example.
thr chance for the fans there to watch in person is almost nil unless they buy a air ticket to fly to another country and watch and pay accomodations also.
i feel the online ticketing benefits overseas fans more than fans in Korea
there can be dnas in Korea who are in remote areas and to them going to Seoul can be like 3 hours by bus, and to and fro is far too long a journey..and prefer to watch online.
I agree with the criticism that the prices should at least allow viewers to rewatch on demand. Frequently, the time and date of the original broadcast is inconvenient -- but if the re-air time slot is just as inconvenient, why would I pay the high fees?? It's online, it's already been filmed... just let me watch at it my own pace! Bonus, then your servers won't crash all at the same time.
The problem is even if they have a rewatch..most fans prefer to go it live.. it's like watching a football match live or like 12 hours later or 2 days later when you hear everyone talking about it.. it takes away the joy when you watch it later when you read about the highlights or hear what it.
I think partly the price of concerts in Korea is lower.. so for 50k W of USD 37 online they can easily go in person for like double the amount or so..
but for physical concerts in overseas, we face the issue where a Cat 1 ticket can be like 150 USD or so..3x the amount
also the argue that they can rather go in person, but let's say for Korea the largest venue for concert can hold 50,000 ppl only 50k ppl can go to the concert in person, so a 2 day concert is around 100k if sold out
so if the agency do a online version at the same time AFTER selling out 2 days..
it will allow maybe 100k fans to watch in person, and maybe 500k more to watch online in Korea and maybe 2mil overseas if the group is super popular.. so the revenue is much higher. If both physical and online is combined.
It seems like a waste of money to redo Batter Up .. why can't they debut BM in Feb 2024 with Batter Up as 7 and record it as 7 in 1 go.. I mean now they need to shoot the MV again with 7 or is this just a re-recordinf with 7?.
It's funny how many errors
the list say Seowon is born 2011 while Yoona (her name is spelt Yunah), is 2009
theh it says the youngest Yunah is 2011.
so confusing to many
Yes Seowon is the youngest, she is born 27 Jan 2011,
she will be 13 next week on 27 Jan 2024.
Plus the age gap has gotta make it uncomfortable for her in general. 23 vs 13? That's a college grad and a 7th grader.
Technically the youngest will turn 14 on Jan 27 ..2024 next week so yeah it's consider 13 at the point of debut this week. But by the time they debut with the first album, she would be 14 already
I saw some comments, ppl were asking to vote for the "eldest" in the group at 2001, so she can be the leader and/or mommy of the group.. seems like she was picked just to be the care taker.
She is a wife of rich actor now
Her husband is also a CEO of a actor agency..
I feel it's probably coming out in February?? Hope so .
What's the show about anyway?
Well I feel sometimes ppl like to create issues so they will be remembered more.. you can see now ppl like remember her name more than the other 3 girls
"We were not able to spot the audiences taking illegal photographs as they were sitting in blind spots."
what kind of bullshit statement is that?
Meaning they probably were low on manpower also, it's during the year end, probably not easy to hire more ppl to control such things and also ...costs..
What slave contract? It must be the richest slave I know.. being paid USD 1.4mil in 2023..
