New HBO series 'The Idol' featuring Jennie is receiving negative reviews after Cannes screening

Article: "Vulgar and unpleasant" negative reviews rain on new TV series starring Jennie 'The Idol'

Source: Wikitree via Instagram

[+237] I'm glad that Jennie is not the main character... I've never seen such negative reviews before. Just how bad is it that the Rotten Tomatoes score is only 9%? ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

[+83] There are certain directors who fail to draw a line between p*rnography and art, and are fully convinced that they can depict p*rnography as art. I remember when I was younger, I was confused why everyone considered director Kim Ki Duk's work to be so artistic, so praise-worthy and felt like I was missing something... but then all those scandals happened and I know to trust my gut. There are cowardly and abhorrent directors who hide their own lust and desires under the guise of "artistic expression"... failing to understand that we see right through them and their shamelessness. 

[+75] Hul, a single-digit rating..... 

[+55] I never had high hopes for this series because of all the singers involved but not a lot of actual actors, but this is a lot more negative than I thought... Either way, Jennie does not have a lot of screentime in the series, but still got opportunities out of it like stepping foot into Cannes and collabing with The Weeknd. I'm sure she knew that this was not a serious acting project but something to leverage The Weeknd's fame into her own. 

[+9] Reminds me of Sandara Park's movie when a large portion of the audience got up and walked out in the middle of the screening. The industry is cold. 

[+6] I've seriously never seen anything as low as 9% on Rotten Tomatoes

[+6] Which is going to be the bigger flop? The Black Mermaid or The Idol 😂

[+3] I'm just glad Jennie doesn't have a lot of screentime in this ㅠㅠ

[+3] I don't even get where singers think they can get into acting so easily like this. There are so many talented actual actors out there. 

[+1] Flopping like a dog 😂

[+2,706, -25] So she spent 5 minutes and 10 minutes respectively in the first two episodes... is it even accurate to call this a Jennie drama?

[+2,288, -703] I just don't find her pretty but the media's always hyping her up...

[+359, -38] I think idols especially need to be careful when deciding to work with HBO... They may produce a lot of superstars but their works are known to include an excessive amount of provocative scenes including nudity, same-sex relationships, and even inc*est... a lot of explicit violence as well. Their dramas are truly adult-rated. When I heard that Jennie was going to be on HBO, I was concerned because it was difficult for me to line up her image with what HBO is normally known for. I don't know whether this was YG or Jennie's decision but it seems like one where she loses more than she gains.

[+267, -22] It's a depiction of Hollywood in its rawest form, of course people aren't going to find it pleasant ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+238, -10] ㅋㅋㅋ I thought she was a lead or something. She probably won't get into any controversy considering that she's not the lead.

[+216, -15] The media always overhypes her beauty ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+101, -1] She got invited to Cannes over two scenes of 5 minute and 10 minute screentimes?? So they basically just used her for marketing?

[+93, -2] It seems pretty obvious that she was invited to Cannes just to create headlines... and she should've known that and declined. Acting like the lead on the red carpet over two scenes amount to 5 and 10 minutes... and then dealing with the aftermath of negative reviews... Feels like they used her as a bullet shield!

[+96, -8] She looks more and more like Hong Hyun Hee

[+87, -1] Just stick to what you've been doing, what's the point of getting all this hate over something so pointless

[+86, -1] 5 and 10 minutes? That's more like a cameo appearance, no?

[+63, -3] I seriously don't see what people find so charming about her. Maybe she just has a look that westerners like?

[+45, -1] YG should've done more research before signing her on... She went to the Cannes over a cameo appearance in some p*rno? I'm glad that she only has about 15 minutes of screentime, because aigoo YG...

[+40, -1] Her face looks so Vietnamese to me

[+39, -3] She barely has any screentime and yet she was posing there at the Cannes like she was the lead ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ...

NCT Dream security guard in legal trouble for use of excessive force against fan at airport

Article: Idol security guard pushes a fan causing injury requiring 5 weeks of treatment... sent to prosecution

Source: Naver

[+269, -2] The guard didn't even look at her or in her general direction to assess the situation, he just flung her like he's in some jungle and he's clearing weeds out of the way... Who does he think he is? No matter how close that fan was getting, he should've known that she wasn't posing a threat before flinging her like that... He didn't even look! 

[+131, -2] I don't think even the president is guarded on this level

[+42, -1] That's no security guard, that's a mobster

[+32, -0] Yeah, even BTS doesn't get this level of excessive protection. That fan could've died if he was any more reckless...

[+4, -0] Shouldn't a professional security guard be better trained than this? If all that was required of the job was to push everyone out of the way without discernment or proper assessment of the situation, then anyone can do this job. 

[+3, -0] Looks like those guards back in the old days when the king is in town.. why are you flinging someone away just for looking?

[+2, -0] That was excessive

[+2, -0] He's a total thug

Article: NCT Dream fan sues security guard who pushed her causing a fracture requiring 5 weeks of recovery

Source: Idol Issue via Instagram

[+52] Yes, I did think the guard was excessive.. ㅎㅎ

[+42] Yes, it was wrong of the guard to push that hard, but fans are just as wrong for refusing to listen to orders. It's individual people like them that end up forming crowds that overwhelm idols, and they need to learn where the line is... 

[+35] I guess how the fan behaved would matter just as much as what the result of their altercation was... because if the fan was blocking up the paths and not letting the idols get out.. 😮
- [+45] The fan wasn't even that close. She was just on the side taking pictures and then the guard flung her...

[+24] I have noticed that security guards are really over the top. I saw an idol when I was at the airport to go to Japan and I wasn't even a fan or anything, just someone passing by, and they were shouting at me to move... Yeah, it's their job and I get that intimidation is part of the job, but I didn't enjoy being yelled at when I wasn't even doing anything. Behavior like this also reflects on their artist. 

[+19] This security company has had a lot of issues in general. There were a lot of controversies around the stuff they'd post on their Instagram stories, and some securities were caught saying stuff to fans that would be counted as s*xual harassment. They'd even openly judge other singers on their looks and make fun of them for being ugly... I wish all companies would just stop hiring them. 

[+16] I hope no one takes this as an opportunity to blame our Dream. This is completely the fault of the security guard. 

[+16] I saw the video and it did seem a bit excessive... 

[+15] The fan was wrong to come over when they told her not to, but that also doesn't mean you can push someone so hard to the point where they require five weeks of treatment. Their job is to protect their artist, not assault someone. You're a security guard, not a mobster. 

[+14] The security did push her too hard but the fan is not completely innocent either

[+13] Their job is to protect the artist. I don't see what they did wrong if they pushed someone away who got too close to the artist. That's their job. How can any security guard do their job if they're not even allowed to do that? What if they didn't push the fan away and harm was caused to the artist? 

[+12] I don't think the guard was out of line. They told people not to come over but people still chose to rush over. The guard had to respond. I'd rather the guard responds like this than not do anything at all and be left with an artist who's traumatized from the situation. 

[+9] The guard did push hard but this never would've been a problem if people listened the first time they were told not to rush over

[+7] NCT security guards have always been notoriously bad, they're basically mobsters

[+7] He did really push her hard, though.. 😢

[+5] The fan got hurt because she got greedy. The security was just protecting their artist. I guess the court will decide if it was excessive or not but I don't think the court's going to feel too bad once they see that she was jaywalking.

Kim Tae Ri apologizes for asking for free translation subtitling labor

Article: Kim Tae Ri is getting hate for asking fans for free labor in translating her subtitles... her agency apologizes

Source: Insight via Instagram

[+1,181] It's understandable why this whole thing became controversial. The channel in question is her personal vlogging channel where each video is 30 minutes long, which will require 4-6 hours of labor. In her application form, it's clear that she's requiring professional skill and expertise. When people found out that it was voluntary labor at first, everyone assumed that the profits would at least be donated to a charity or something, or that the videos were at least for public service, but these were just her personal vlogs ㅠ I was quite taken aback when I saw it..

[+687] Just because she isn't monetizing the videos doesn't mean she isn't still profiting off of it in some way. She's still building her image through these videos, building her popularity by communicating with her fans through these videos... she profits through all these avenues, and I think it's unfair that she's expecting free labor of a really high-level skill ㅠ

[+349] Translation is a highly-specialized skill, it's terrible of her to think that she's entitled to it for free. Why does she think she deserves to be paid for her skill but others should offer it up to her for free?

[+328] The entitlement of thinking she can use her fans in this way. I don't understand the comments defending her. 

[+182] This is a total exploitation of labor by manipulating her fans. It'd be fine if she just left it at "please feel free to contribute subtitles if you wish" but she had an application form and everything where she was judging their skill level ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+167] People need to think deeper about this than just blaming this on "haters." The reason people took such offense to this is because translation is a specialized skill that she chose to undercut as free labor under the guise of "donate your skills for a good cause." "Donating your skills" is normally done for actual charities or a public service, but Kim Tae Ri is not only rich enough to fund this herself, but is asking for free labor for her own personal content. Where exactly does she think she can get away with thinking that people with a specialized skill are only worthy of 0 cents? The hypocrisy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ And yeah, you can argue that maybe some fans are big enough fans of her to do it for free, but most stars don't ask for application submissions to judge their work. Fans just do it on their own out of their own free will, like fanclubs who order lunchboxes and such. You never see idols or agencies like, "We are asking for fans to provide lunchboxes for free. Please apply here." 

[+153] I understand thinking that maybe she might have fans who would be willing to do labor for her for free, but that thought should have only lasted for five seconds. She should have come to her senses and realized that she's asking for a specialized skill that deserves market-rate pay. This whole thing should not have required a long post asking people to submit applications so she can test their professional skill just for her to use them for free. How did she not realize this in any step of the process?? She's no different from the other stars who have no problem using their fans to buy themselves luxury brands or difficult-to-find gaming consoles. 

[+73] I've always been a fan since 'Mister Sunshine'... and never had any negative emotions about her prior to this, but... this is just wrong. 

[+63] Something about her always makes me go "huh?" with her actions. Like she does things without thinking. She's one of those actresses who are constantly under some minor type of controversy all the time. 

[+32] This wasn't something as small as asking for help with one video. This was a full application process where she was asking people to translate 30-minute-long videos of 4-6 hours of labor for free. Any celebrity who thinks they're entitled to use their fans in this way are deserving of criticism. Labor is labor and labor should be compensated for. This is making light of translation as a profession.

[+771] 30-40 minute videos for free... ^^ ㅎ

[+664] The fact that the subtitles were for her personal vlogs, not even a public service video or anything important. This all goes back to her personal profits in the end. 

[+362] Her excuse doesn't work. She needs to act in movies for free, then, by her logic. 

[+357] I feel like I'd do it if I was a fan.. I don't get what the issue is. She said she isn't monetizing the videos.
- [+240] Okay. I'm going to shoot a movie and I expect you and Kim Tae Ri to star in it for free.
- [+370] Whether she monetizes the videos or not is her own issue. If you're asking someone for their labor, the proper thing to do is pay for them for it; is that not right?

[+321] The rich are always the worst ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+308] I don't care whether she's monetizing the videos or not. That's her problem. We need to normalize asking for labor and paying for it at a fair rate. Stop acting entitled to sucking people dry.

[+304] She may not profit monetarily by claiming not to monetize the videos, but she still profits in the form of other things like improvement in image, etc... It's terrible of her as an actress to expect to use the labor of her fans in this way for something that doesn't benefit public service at all. 

[+69] It's not like she's forcing anyone... just do it if you want to, don't if you don't want to~

[+38] Translation is strenuous work, and subtitling isn't any easier... ㅜㅜ whether she's monetizing these videos isn't the issue, it's that she should expect to pay people for their labor. This also affects the translation market, too... 

[+29] There's a clear difference between someone offering their labor to you for free and you going up to people and demanding that labor for free.

Koreans are getting fed up with cafe menus being displayed in English for aesthetics

Article: Elderly are turning away from ordering due to increasing trend of English menus at restaurants

Source: Insight via Instagram

[+419] Isn't it kind of funny to be displaying menus in English when these businesses are in Korea? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+338] We live in Korea, just write it in Hangeul!!!

[+231] Just use Hangeul!!!

[+111] What's funny about cafes like this is that an actual foreigner will show up talking in English and they're like "huh?" 

[+70] I think it's even funnier when you start ordering in English off the menu and they can't even understand or keep up and have to call their manager ㅋ

[+25] I give up ordering as well. Do people think English makes them look cooler or something? English may be used around the world but this is Korea, isn't it? Do the managers and staff speak in English among themselves too?

[+25] I fail to think of a reason why tehse menus need to be written in English

[+22] Wow, these menus look like they're from another country

[+22] I do often find myself wondering what a store is selling when their whole menu is written in English...

[+19] Well, there's an old marketing saying that... if you don't understand what an advertisement or message is trying to tell you, you are not the target audience for it...

[+9] It's not just the elderly struggling with this, I can't order either ㅠ it takes me forever just to read through the menu

[+371, -5] You have got to be kidding me with the 'M.S.G.R.'

K-Pop idol trainer discusses why idols have been getting worse in live singing skills

Video: The fundamental reason why idols can't improve their skills

Source: K-Pop Idol Trainer via YouTube

[+74] We keep letting the industry get lax on one or two skills like this and eventually K-Pop's competitive viability will crumble. I think it's time that companies start looking at the big picture instead of focusing on the smaller crumbs of profits right before their yes. 

[+61] Bang Shi Hyuk's interview with anchorwoman Baek Ji Yeon is basically a realistic view of the industry. 8eight's Im Jung Hee is an amazing singer with great songs but the public didn't buy her stuff... meanwhile, an idol group can sell 100,000 albums like it's nothing. The public has no right blaming companies when they're the ones showing them with their money where the market is. Sure, singing talent is important for a singer, but then why aren't you buying their albums? You don't get to say this or that and criticize companies when you're the one showing your true colors with your dollar.
- [+8] Also, international fans prefer visuals + performance than vocal skill alone. There are already a ton of international singers who have the skill part down, but it's the performance and visual aspect that differentiates K-Pop from every other market. Look at Mamamoo. They have the talent but they're not that popular internationally because the whole appeal of K-Pop is beautiful visuals and difficult choreography. 

[+53] An inability to sing live will severely limit the kinds of songs that idols can be given. They're eventually going to hit a wall with the kind of popularity they'll be able to achieve in European and North American markets. 

[+49] The video summarized: idols don't have time to train.
#1 With a shrinking population, there is a smaller pool of candidates to pull from now, which makes it that much harder to find kids who excel at everything from visuals to singing and dancing.
#2 Training is required to make up for the areas that idols lack but there just isn't enough time (at most, they get three years)
#3 There are other things that idols have to spend time to train for aside from just singing and dancing (foreign language, photoshoot posting, composing, styling, taking selcas and short-form content)
#4 Even if an idol does meet all these criteria, they can still be pulled from the final line-up if they don't fit the team's image (which goes back to the shrinking pool of candidates)

[+46] NMIXX and STAYC can be good at live singing all they want... but reality is, Le Sserafim, New Jeans, and IVE will always be considered the top 3

[+45] I don't think idols who can't sing can be shield-able to me. Sure, they may be "dance" artists, but you have to at least know how to stay on key. It's embarrassing to put out idols who would be wrecked in a local talent show. 

[+28] I think it's just human nature for people to enjoy hating on an untalented group that's #1 than supporting a talented group that's at #2

[+27] People are going to hate whether you're perfect or not. Fans become fans because they see a 'pro' that is in line with what they want in an idol, and they're able to ignore the 'cons' of that idol, whereas people become antis when those 'cons' are bigger than the 'pros' that they see in them. Companies know that every idol is going to have antis no matter what they do so they just go with the one that has the most public appeal. 

[+24] I also think fans are out of line when they say idols are "overworked" when they have a very small window as it is where they are relevant and famous enough to make all their money. 

[+19] I understand not having time to train and improve but I think some of the really terrible idols don't care at all about improving ㅋㅋㅋ
- [+1] They'll fix everything on their face before they fix their vocal skills ㅋ

[+16] I think companies just don't care about criticisms about skills because they just consider you an anti who won't affect their bottom line since obviously they aren't the ones buying albums. There's no reason for companies to listen to criticisms if you're not helping their sales. 

[+16] I don't get this argument about idols not having time to train and improve... the time to improve was before you debuted, not after...

[+15] I think fans nowadays would rather be a fan of an idol who may not sing well but has the visuals and dancing skills to back it up versus someone who does sing well

[+15] Our industry is going to end up like Japan's idol industry soon. No one will be able to sing live, and we'll be left with a ton of idols who can only do aegyo and show off their crappy acting on TV. International fans will realize that there's nothing to see here and move away from Hallyu, which is exactly what happened with Japan. 

[+15] It's just how reality is. It doesn't matter how awesome at singing you are if you're ugly because no one will care. Think of how many talented people there are all over the world, but that's not the kind of star that the public wants. 

[+14] NMIXX is able to sing full live, I heard they sang all their songs live at their American showcase recently

[+13] I caught NMIXX's live video a few days ago and I got goosebumps. I had to go and look up their other videos because I couldn't believe that every single member was main vocalist-tier, even their rap, and I thought I was being scammed. It confuses me to no end how such a group of visuals and talent isn't doing more... or is this just where JYP's limits end?
- [+2] This is what I always want to say ㅜㅜ JYP never does enough for them, always giving them weird songs...
- [+1] So go buy more albums for them..
- [+1] I think it's a combo of bad concepts that don't work with their visuals... they're kind of all over the place

[+11] The average debut age being constantly lowered probably plays a part in this as well... It doesn't matter how long your training period is when you're debuting in junior high, which means your training was only three years max from elementary through junior high...

[+11] I personally don't see a need for a group to have every single member be 'good.' Talent is a spectrum, after all. But it's a problem when they don't even meet a basic level, that they're just completely unstable. That means not only are they not training, they're not even attempting to improve. I understand that idols don't have time to dedicate to training, but that's something companies need to make sure they make time for if they're choosing idols based on star potential alone. 

[+8] But I think the more we let companies get away with ignoring singing skills in their idols, our industry is going to become like the Japanese idol industry, which we often laugh at because they prioritize cuteness over skills... Maybe it's too much to expect idols now to pull off perfect lives with difficult choreography, but I don't think it's too much to at least expect them to be able to sing their own parts while standing still... 

[+8] Companies will never consider singing skills to be important because idols have a bigger chance of making it with their looks and charms than talent. Just because you're talented doesn't mean you're automatically going to be famous. Idols are also limited to a 6-8 year period anyway and it's in the company's best interest to dedicate all their time to getting the idols on shows and tours and getting their money's worth than pulling time to train them in other skills. 

[+6] I still think vocal skills should be a basic requirement to even debut

[+6] I don't really believe the part about how idols don't have time to practice. Most of these idol groups aren't even that popular aside from the ones from the top 4. Music shows barely get 0.5% viewer ratings, and most of their YouTube cams are under 10,000 views. How many of these groups are actually that busy that they don't have time to practice and improve?

[+72] Bang Shi Hyuk is advancing into extreme obesity while his kids are whithering away. Please eat nutritiously and take care of your healths, guys.

[+36] Eh.... I'm sure they snack in between.. I doubt their agency would let them starve themselves or anything, especially since they have separate trainers watching over them...

[+34] Wait, you all are finishing a can of Pringles...? Nevermind how full it makes you, it's just too salty. 

[+18] Oh, come on. I understand having small appetites but this is just wrong ㅋㅋ I wish girl groups would stop with these lies and know that it's okay to eat as much as you want. 

[+4] They're joking, right???

[+1] Well, they also claimed they can't finish a can of Pringles so they must just have tiny appetites

[+1] They share one ramyeon packet...? The same ramyeon packet that doesn't even make a dent in my hunger?...

[+1] It's okay to not eat a lot but please watch your health...

[+1] I'm just glad that it's not their agency restricting their food, it's just their appetites. Though I wonder if their appetites have grown so small because their agency has been restricting them for so long and they've gotten used to it. 

[+1] I guess there's a reason why the members are so thin

[+-] Are they human ㅠ I thought everyone only felt full off of two packets at least 

[+-] I really wonder if they feel full off of that?

Fans protest the Netflix release of Sulli's interviews and posthumous work

 Article: "I was scared of fame" Unreleased interview of the late Sulli causes a stir... will her posthumous work be revealed?

Source: Everyday Economy via Naver

[+1,265, -20] Such a loss.. she shined bright at such a young age..

[+770, -73] You need a strong family foundation to develop sound mental health, but Sulli's family neglected her at the hands of SM... Despite being so pretty, she's always had an unstable mindset, which caused her to attract seedy people looking to manipulate her. She ended up with Choiza, who seemingly promised her a 'normal life' in her twenties, which was fine and all, until that song he wrote about her was released ㅋㅋ He basically condemned her to the ranks of low-class men and let them think that they could have a chance with her. Choiza is seriously the worst human being ever. Just the title of the song alone makes me want to kill him. 

[+895, -335] I still think Choiza should carry much more of the blame considering how much more of an adult he was supposed to be in their relationship. It just shows how important who you surround yourself in life is. I'm sure he influenced her life in a lot of ways...

[+161, -39] Stuff like this reminds me that Netflix is an American corporation after all and that they have no problem exploiting anything as long as it makes them money

[+115, -5] Sad...

[+104, -11] I don't think some of these comments understand what happened at the time... At the time of her death, the majority of her hate comments were written by extremely p*rverted men, which was a fire that was set and stoked by that disgusting, vomit-inducing man of a human being, Choiza. He was so crazy with greed about bragging about his relationship with a young, pretty idol like Sulli... that he basically wrote those disgusting lyrics and left her to the wolves of s*xual harassment comments. Ajummas actually adored Sulli, and I'm sure some similar-aged women were jealous of her, but the majority of her hate comments were s*xual harassment comments from men. Sulli lived an unfortunate life..

[+80, -4] Please do not release this. Please let her go and allow her to be forgotten by the public. Unless you're going to create an episode of every single s*icide in our country, do not exploit her death for your own income.

[+70, -7] And Choiza will continue to go on to live a happy life, have children of his own, a son, a daughter... but remember what you did to Sulli!! None of what you did may have been illegal in the eyes of the law, but your heart knows you were immoral!!

[+62, -1] So unfortunate about both Sulli and Goo Hara, it's sad to think that we won't be able to see their pretty smiles ever again

[+42, -5] I always wonder if her life would've turned out differently if she dated a church guy instead of Choiza

[+36, -0] Don't release this. This is not America. America disgusts me with their justification of anything as long as it benefits capitalism. Just quietly let her go. I ask this once again: do not release this.

[+36, -2] Please just let her rest in peace... and please bring down the harshest punishment of all in Choiza, something worse than death, for failing to protect Sulli and instead s*xualizing her to the eyes of lecherous men. 

[+30, -3] That 14 year age gap between her and Choiza, it makes me throw up... She was only a '94er, she had no business with some '80er ajusshi ㅠㅠ 

[+25, -1] Please just let it go~ let her rest in peace! Please! I don't care how much money you can make off of this, just don't~

[+22, -2] Goo Hara and Sulli both grew up in unstable families, and I think that developed into depression once they matured into adults

[+18, -1] The sad reality of seeing her life being used for profit even after death..

[+8, -0] Goo Hara, Sulli... such rotten luck in life with the families they ended up with, the men they ended up with... In your next lives, please be born into loving families and date loving men..

[+5, -0] Please leave her alone... Releasing stuff like this is only torturing her further after her death, and using her life for your own gain...

Influencer Molly Chiang apologizes for 'rude grab' on IU at Gucci event

Article: Taiwanese influencer Molly Chiang apologizes for rude behavior at Gucci fashion show... 'grabbed' IU's hand

[+577, -2] What are influencers anyway... nothing but attention seekers... ㅋ

[+104, -1] Influencers are just another evolved version of 'power bloggers'

[+63, -4] Since when were influencers on the level of mingling with celebrities...

[+26, -1] Whether she's a famous influencer or not, it's universally considered bad etiquette to just grab someone's hand without consent like that.

[+16, -2] "Influencers" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ basically beggars who get things for free. Who will sponsor these fools once they get old and irrelevant? ㅋㅋㅋ Always laughable to me that they go around acting like they're worth something.

[+14, -2] "Influencers" such a lavish word for people who essentially beg for things online for free

[+10, -1] "Influencers" what an extravagant word for people who are basically unemployed

[+5, -0] I bet she did it on purpose for the attention

[+4, -0] Probably a purposeful attempt at using IU for noise marketing

[+4, -0] Noise marketing! The classic "do something scandalous and get famous for it by apologizing"

Karina declares she doesn't want to bleach her hair again after going blonde

Article: "Never going blonde again" Karina declares this will be the last time she bleaches her hair

Source: Insight via Instagram

[+571] "I look like a singed sparrow after I shower" ma'am, the rest of us just look singed, period.

[+373] The beginnings of balding start with bleaching your hair

[+205] Bleaching your hair really is just putting a death sentence on it.. And to get her level of color, it probably required 2-3 bleaches too

[+65] I felt like my scalp suffered more than my hair when I bleached it... 😢

[+25] Really amazing how Rose and Lisa can keep up with their blonde colors

[+23] The magic of bleach is that it makes you go "I'm never doing this again!!" and then you do it again...

[+20] It took me five years of growing my hair out to fully get rid of my once-bleached hair ㅋㅋ please don't do it, guys

[+12] She looks great with black hair but the blonde feels fresh and new too ❤️

[+5] She shouldn't do it, she looks great with black hair anyway

[+-] I remember Choa struggled with having to bleach her hair as well ㅎㅎ

Whasa reveals she wants to get more wild with her performances on 'Dancing Urangdan'

Article: Whasa reveals ambition to put on a 'str*p show' on 'Dancing Urangdan'... "We are going to get more wild"

Source: Insight via Instagram

[+253] She is providing supply with no demand

[+60] "supply without demand" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+59] She's already quite "wild" as it is, and not in a sexy way, just a dirty way........;;;

[+53] No one f*cking asked for that so don't piss me off

[+51] A clip barely a few seconds long from an edited performance video has now overtaken all the media sites and Whasa and Mamamoo's search rankings with comments full of hate. It makes me uncomfortable to see that. All of the comments are full of people crossing the line about her gender and looks, and what bothers me more about all of this is that none of this was considered controversial right after the college festival but only until a few days later when the media started reporting on the performance. Then it grew, and grew, and started spreading on other media and SNS, when the people at the actual performance weren't offended by her performance. She's getting so much more hate than necessary because of some edited gifs being spread around. I know you may think I only feel this way as a longtime Moomoo, but these are just my thoughts after seeing all of this go down, and I know that some comments are offering genuine criticism, but it wouldn't hurt for me to remind everyone to be nicer with their words as well.

[+46] Wish she'd stop......

[+45] No one wants this... 😢😂

[+31] Just stay home and perform that stuff for yourself

[+22] Whasa's definitely been overtaken by some demon of lust ㅜㅜ

[+20] Is this what you would call the Doja Cat disease?

[+16] Omo... she must have some type of sexy disease or something ㅠ

[+14] She needs to get a clue and realize that no one's asking for this

[+4] They need to stop. Whasa and Solar seriously have some addiction to showing skin;;

Aespa impresses everyone with their live encore

Video: Aespa's 'Spicy' encore live receives ecstatic response to their true skills

Source: Issue Feed via YouTube + Instagram

[+87] Aespa has always been talented ㅋㅋㅋ

[+52] I understand the hate they get for lip syncing but I'll never acccept the people suspecting their talent ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+51] Why is it their own agency that is suppressing such skills ㅋㅋㅋ

[+69] Aespa has always been good. Their live singing at fan meets, concerts, and international performances have always received positive reviews.

[+62] Where'd all the people who accused them of being bad at live go;; come on, they're SM... they couldn't be bad

[+55] Their life is crazy good

[+34] They're under SM, after all. It'd be more difficult to find an SM artist who can't sing live. 

[+32] I admit I was surprised when I heard their live. They sounded really good and stable.

[+28] They're all so good. Karina really set the stage with that intro. 

[+23] Wow, Giselle sounds even better than the digital song

[+19] Giselle's live is so natural and good

[+16] Giselle, her diction is so chewy and satisfying

[+10] Wow, Giselle is really good

[+9] Aespa has always been good

[+8] I think a lot of their talent was underrated because they were compared to Black Pink so early in their career

[+8] So SM's the one who's been holding them back all this time

[+7] Winter ripped her part apart!!

[+6] Giselle is honestly insane

[+5] They've always been good but people would only care that they lip synced and automatically assume that they couldn't sing live. When they do sing live, they're super good ㅋㅋ As for their Coachella stage, who wouldn't be nervous for their first time in front of so many people.. And we all know SM may pick for visuals but they will leave you dry if you don't have some talent to back it up.

[+5] SM's live skills have always been 👍🏻

[+2] Feels like Aespa has been growing a lot more since the administration changed to Kakao..

5. LG [mother]

10. EcoPro [sister of CEO]

Out of the 417 names, only 34 women were not related to chaebol families, most notably including Naver CEO Choi Soo Yeon and Hybe/Adore's CEO Min Hee Jin.

[+930, -21] What's more amazing about her is that she didn't inherit her wealth, she built it all on her own

[+238, -8] It's Always amazing to hear stories of people who grew within their industries and slowly built themselves up instead of the usual inheritance/chaebol family story of wealth.

[+159, -16] A great example of education not being the only solution to life. It's always best to specialize in what you're personally skilled and talented in.

[+79, -6] Her name being up there is a completely different thing. All those names are people inheriting from chaebol families, whereas she's self-made.

[+46, -1] She's effectively #1 on that list if you filter out all the chaebol inheritances

[+55, -34] Hee Jin unni's the real deal for sure

[+18, -0] I heard she started her career literally at the entry level, it's amazing

[+15, -1] A true self-made woman

[+8, -1] Filter out all the people born into inheritances and powerful parents and Min Hee Jin will be #1 in the country. She reached the top through her own work ethic alone. She deserves it.

[+8, -2] How can you compare her to other names who have accomplished nothing other than being born with a golden spoon? The worth of her wealth is completely different.

[+6, -2] Thank you for creating New Jeans!

[+4, -0] This is the result of her hard work, she deserves applause

[+4, -1] Can she bring back f(x) please...

[+4, -1] She's done a lot for our country. She was a main figure in developing K-Pop and raising its quality.

Arrest warrant officially issued for Yoo Ah In

[+388, -1] His method acting is insane

[+232, -22] Yoo Ah In... not only are you done for in the entertainment industry, but forever exiled by the public 😡

[+167, -1] Wow~~~ I've seen movies based off of a real life experience, but never have I seen someone's real life play out based off of his own movie ㅋㅋ

[+133, -1] 4.4L in a year... so there weren't many moments where he was sober that year at all...

[+119, -3] The very least he could've done this whole time was comply with all requests of investigation... Instead, he kept turning them down because there were "too many journalists" ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Judge, I hope you also this behavior into consideration. 

[+80, -3] Oh, now they're afraid that he's going to destroy evidence? When they've already given him months? Is this a joke? 

[+77, -2] I'm not a fan but this is so unfortunate! He traded his wealth and fame for drugs ㅠ at such a young age, with so much talent.. how did he end up a drug criminal? I hope he accepts the consequences of his crime, works hard in therapy, and comes back to a healthy life..

[+31, -1] Wait, I thought they didn't issue the warrant all this time to give him extra time to destroy all his evidence? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+18, -0] Netflix and all of his CF sponsors better make sure they get every cent they're owned. Set a precedent for what happens if you're caught doing drugs.

[+16, -0] He should've been in jail long ago

[+10, -0] I always wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt that people can make mistakes... but this stopped being about his crime and became a problem of his mindset. He had no problem committing crimes but when it came time to pay the price, he was just like, "I refuse to show up because there are too many people!!!" It just shows how deeply-rooted his sense of entitlement is. I always find people who are so quick to judge others on the basis of their own sense of justice to be hiding something fishy of their own!!!!

[+5, -0] Only after 100 days have passed is the court now finally concerned about his possibility of destroying evidence... they gave him 100 days, he could've spun around the world five times in that time

Female nursing officer caught trespassing into BTS Jin's military unit

Article: Female nurse officer makes unauthorized trespass into BTS Jin's unit

Source: Kukmin Ilbo via Naver + Naver

[+280, -6] How can someone logically think that this is okay? 

[+172, -4] That's so damn scary, she's basically a stalker

[+156, -7] So not only did a nursing officer leave her station without authorization, but she also trespassed into another station and gave out vaccination shots. Not only is this a violation of private information but also unauthorized access of medical and pharmaceutical equipment. The military knew of this and still chose to pass over it without any penalty. The more they stay quiet on these matters, people will only feel brazen enough to commit greater and greater acts of crime. Please dole out a heavy punishment and make an example out of her.

[+49, -1] Jin has been serving in the 5th division from the beginning. That means that this nurse had access to his unit information from another nurse who probably works in Jin's unit. It actually gives me goosebumps that these people call themselves nurses when they aren't scared at all to use their positions to commit such illegal acts. The military better not try to bury this and make sure that everyone involved is punished to the fullest extent. 

[+36, -0] Nevermind the suspicions about whether she gave vaccination shots out or not, but how could she think of taking unauthorized leave from her own unit just to see a celebrity? That's far past the point of insane.

[+20, -0] Let's change the genders here for a second. What if a male officer snuck into an idol's locker room or wherever they were at when they were invited to perform, and asked for pictures and autographs?

[+17, -1] She would've been in a huge medical lawsuit if she had given him any shot

[+12, -2] Singers are humans too.. can people please learn where the line is. Would you like it if someone did this to you?

[+10, -0] That's definitely stalking. Every training unit has its own nursing station, there's absolutely no reason for a nurse from another unit to travel over just to give a shot..

[+10, -0] Go down on her with the hardest punishment of the law

[+6, -0] Jin can't escape stalking even in the army ㅜㅜ please fire that female officer

[+5, -0] That's scary

[+3, -0] Imagine if she had actually attempted to give him a shot? She would've had to ask him to pull down his pants so she could place the shot on his buttocks~~ she really traded not only her career but her career's honor just for a chance at a BTS member's butt ㅋㅋ

[+3, -0] She ruined her life just to a celebrity....

[+2, -0] Discharge her and throw her in military jail

Swings offers concert for free after it fails to sell tickets

Article: Swings fails to sell 1,000 seats of his 100,00 won/ticket concert, changes it to 'free'

Source: Insight via Instagram + Wikitree

[+562] I think it's cool of him to admit it like this... because if I were him, I would've just tried to make do with however much of the 1,000 I sold...

[+315] It's because you went too far (with your scandals)

[+281] What is so "cool" about offering tickets for free when no one wanted to buy them in the first place? 

[+238] And people still won't go

[+168] I think this was really cool of him... not sure what all the hate is about. It's a brave thing to be able to admit that you're wrong, especially when you're at a position like he is. 

[+109] He basically didn't do any market research. Why would he ever think that 5,000 people would show up for a concert full of rappers with no name, no face? It's obvious he changed it to a free concert so that he can save face for his company at least. 

[+100] Definitely seems like hip hop isn't as popular as it used to be anymore

[+80] I'm curious to see what this results in... Since the concert's now free, will more people show up? Or will there barely be a difference...

[+74] Chanhyuk's famous line is breezing through my ears... "hip hop! just hasn't been cool for a while~!"

[+65] That is pretty cool of him

[+61] It's cool that he's choosing to take responsibility for it, in whatever way possible

[+43] That's cool, he gets cooler the more I see him

[+32] He's such a bubble

[+13] Damn, kind of embarrassing to have stuff like this in the news

[+10] Quite cool of him ㅋㅋㅋ just admitting that they didn't sell, no strings

Opinions divided over Whasa's controversial college festival performance

Article: "It's too much" vs "Not a problem" Divided opinions over Whasa's college performance 

Source: Wikitree via Instagram

[+332] Well, she wasn't performing at some children's school talent show, it was a college festival

[+190] This just went too far. She needs to realize the difference between a sexy concept and this. 

[+151] I think she's going down a weird path with her concept~ like she's trying to be sexy but she's not sexy at all... ㅠㅠ
- [+20] Yeah, I really feel nothing... she just looks messy?..
- [+10] I like Whasa as well but felt that this one was a bit dirty (?) ㅡㅡ;;

[+103] S*x acts like this aren't really considered art, are they? She just doesn't know where the line is. 

[+82] She did look sexy... but as a mother of small children.. all I could think was "no! don't put your hand in your mouth! dirty! germs!! you will get a stomach ache!!" 😂

[+76] Can she please learn the difference between sexy and cheap...

[+66] Koreans are so lax when it comes to foreigners and super strict when it comes to Koreans. If Cardi B had done something like this on stage, you'd all be thinking she's "so cool"

[+62] Sorry, but... there's a difference between sexy and messy.. She should be able to pull off a sexy look without having to dance like this. Your vibe, your aura is where sexiness comes from...

[+53] Since when was licking your hand and putting it against your private considered sexy? ㅋㅋ

[+51] I think this would've been fine if she had done it at her own personal concert with a 19+ rating.. but it was a college festival with entrance permitted to little kids and families. It would've been a bit much for a family with kids to happen upon it...

[+43] You guys do realize there are kids at these festivals, right? Because they're all there to see celebrities?

[+25] Come on, kids these days know more than you think anyway.. enough with the "s*xually provocative" schtick ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+18] Is this considered sexy? It looked messy to me... but I guess some find it sexy? ㅋ Would people think the same if a male celebrity licked his hand and started j*rking it?

[+18] Yeah, no, this was too much... 😂 children attend these events to see celebrities.. even my own son's a high schooler and go to these often.. how embarrassing 🙄

[+12] Are we still living in the '80s or something? Enough with the hate, this was a college festival performance ㅡㅡ

[+7] But if a man started acting like he was j*rking off on stage and called it a performance? He would be behind bars right now. 

[+6] She's just copying Cardi B

[+6] The people commenting here are going to go straight to P*rnHub after this

[+4] Well, Sam Smith is coming to Korea soon, and you're all going to be shocked then.. Seems we're still stuck in the Joseon era with everyone's outdated mindsets. 

[+4] I just find it odd how people are okay with foreign singers acting like this but not Korean singers... with the way these comments are going, Sam Smith shouldn't bother coming here 😂

[+4] Behold, a comment section full of people stuck in Confucian ideas in the year of 2023

[+2] No one cared when Rain had that dance where he grabbed his cr*tch

Article: Kim Garam's recent whereabouts since leaving Le Sserafim over 'school bullying' accusations

Source: Insight via Instagram

[+637] So she's in acting school.. that's not what I was expecting
- [+13] Surely she's not thinking of debuting again as an actress?.. Unless she's crazy?

[+308] "She is currently in acting school" now don't go and bully anyone in there

[+293] Oh yeah, I forgot there was a member like this in the group.. I totally didn't feel her absence at all..

[+285] Just don't bother with coming back on TV. Go open your own business if you need. 

[+200] Dammit, that means she's going to come back as an actress=
- She's practically become an icon of school bullying, there's no way she's ever going to get to debut again

[+184] She better not be dreaming of getting into acting

[+97] Please just continue to live a normal and quiet life

[+50] I don't know that there's a future left for her in the entertainment industry 😢 She should go learn a trade

[+25] She got a taste of fame and money. Her decision to go into acting seems like she's been unable to let go of that taste. She should go duet with Kim Sae Ron. 

[+3] She'll be a pro at acting bullying characters

[+3] Isn't it enough that she admitted her wrongs and left the group?? There are still a ton of famous male idols who've committed worse and are shamelessly still promoting ㅋㅋ

Gucci apologizes for late night after party with boisterous music and lights that received 52 police complaints

Gucci's late-night after party received 52 police complaints for loud noises and flashing lights to those living around the area.

[+3,754, -41] It is pretty disgusting that they behaved this way at the expense of others

[+2,494, -17] Wow, that did cross the line... The rest of us shouldn't be expected to put up with things just because they're celebrities. Most people have their own lives to go back to the next day, and it's unfair that their sleep is getting disturbed for these parties.

[+2,304, -38] I understand that this was a successful show attended by a lot of international celebrities, but it shouldn't be on everyone else to be understanding of the traffic restrictions they placed on the bridges and all the noise complaints in the area. To the people who don't care about luxury brands, this was basically just some foreign brand's party, not a cultural or memorial event. A brand should not be able to block citizens from getting to where they need to like this. It's ridiculous.

[+579, -14] People have to get to work in the morning, man~~~

[+318, -106] IU needs to be clarifying her plagiarism suspicions, not attending fashion shows

[+153, -5] I hate how celebrities and people who work in the media act like they're above everyone else. It's disgusting.

[+149, -6] Celebrities are nothing but clowns used for our entertainment and yet they act like they should receive every special treatment and perk under the sun...

[+78, -1] Gucci can f*ck off if this is how they're going to behave. It's not like our country's going to go bankrupt just because we don't cater to their whims. Celebrities should be boycotting brands like this too. Sure, you all may be able to stay up all night partying, but the rest of the people around you have jobs to get to early in the morning.

[+56, -3] We can't forget our past when Japan turned our Cheonggyunggung palace into a zoo... We must preserve our palaces as the historical artifacts that they are. 

[+44, -0] That was quite thoughtless of them... 11:30 p.m. at night, an outdoor party... No consideration at all for those that live in the area, who have jobs to get to the next morning. A luxury brand should behave with more 'class.'

[+424] People need to worry about having luxury hearts and minds than wearing luxury goods

[+183] Wow, they put on a really great fashion show so it's disappointing that their after-party was so careless

[+131] They were a complete nuisance. Their speakers were so loud that if you had this playing in the mountains, even animals would've called in with complaints ㅋㅋㅋ

[+121] Honestly, after parties are normal and fine and all but did they really not think that others would be able to hear their loud noises? And if they did know, this is an issue of manners and etiquette...

[+82] You could hear the speakers from so far away... how were their ear drums not blown out???

[+80] They should've just started running drug tests inside and penalized anyone with positive results ㅡㅡ

[+74] One of the reasons why Gucci's image is so cheap

[+67] If only people had as much consideration for others as they do for these luxury goods? 

[+60] There's a reason Gucci's considered the bottom of the luxury brands

[+35] All Gucci needed to do was hold their fashion show and quietly leave...

[+16] I don't even know why you'd have an after party at an outdoor location so late at night...;; just hold it indoors
