ATEEZ - In Your Fantasy (MV Teaser 2)

Are you sick of BabyMonster's constant twerking Cause I'm & now people will say don't watch BM then, and actually, I kind of stopped seeing their content/music; it's the occasional reels/shorts that come up mostly them doing the unnecessary twerking even if it is concert, singing shows or anything and I feel that is not needed. submitted by /u/LingonberrySuch8557 [link] [comments]

TW: rape, sexual assault he was immediately detained in the courtroom following the sentence. honestly, what a deplorable outcome. submitted by /u/JinnieP [link] [comments]

At 2 p.m. on the 10th, the 26th Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Court held the first trial sentencing date for violating the special law (special level runage) on the punishment of a total of three people including Tae Il for sexual violence crimes. On this day, the court sentenced Tae-il and other three people to 3 years and 6 months in prison. In addition, he ordered a 40-hour sexual violence treatment program, a notice of disclosure of personal information, and a job restricted for 5 years from children and youth-related institutions. Tae-il, who was tried in a state of undetained, was detained in court after the first trial sentence. The court said, "Since the prison sentence is imposed, it is judged that there is a scree of escape, and an arrest warrant is issued." Earlier last month, the prosecution sought 7 years in prison for Tae-il, who was accused of special juno-extage under the Sexual Violence Punity Act. On this day, Taeil appeared in court wearing black tops and bottoms. People who are presumed to be Taeil's fans were seen in court. Taeil is accused of sexually assaulting a drunken woman and two accomplices in June last year. The Seoul Bangbae Police Station, which was in charge of the case, called Tae-il as a suspect in August last year to investigate and sent the case to the prosecutor in September of that year. The police said it was necessary to arrest Taeil, so he applied for an arrest warrant, but the court rejected it. Taeil debuted with NCT's first unit NCT U in 2016. After that, he was also active as a member of NCT 127, another unit in the group, but was expelled from NCT and his agency SM Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as SM) in the aftermath of this incident in October last year. In October last year, SM said, 'The exclusive contract with Taeil has been terminated on October 15, 2024,' and 'Taeil is currently under investigation by the prosecutor's office for a criminal prosecution case, and this is not only the reason for the termination of the exclusive contract, but also the trust as an artist, so it was decided to terminate the exclusive contract with the person'. In particular, Tae-il was shocked to reveal that he continued activities such as the fan meeting to commemorate the 8th anniversary of the NCT 127 debut held in August of that year, even though he knew that he was accused of a sex crime. However, SM said that he found out about Taeil's defendant around August. submitted by /u/jqiwyoxn [link] [comments]

Can someone tell me what flair to use https://www.instagram.com/kayleegracelee/# https://youtube.com/shorts/PkqvrefRfwc?si=Ya9upqRiLxYVI_wv She went on an instagram live but people said it could be AI generated, I watched it though and it didn't look fake since she talked abt a comment saying she looked older. None of the other VCHA girls (other than KG) have personal insta accounts (that are 100% confirmed to be theirs and are active) so people say that it's a sign that she's leaving the group. Tbh even if VCHA does come back their not going to be successful especially considering all the proof that KG gave against JYP and that JYP never gave an official statement. They would be better of disbanding, the oldest is only 19 they could still go to uni or get signed to a different label. submitted by /u/AvocadoFun3905 [link] [comments]

K-pop is, without a doubt, one of South Korea's greatest cultural products of the 21st century. But ironically, K-pop's biggest enemy today isn't in the West, nor in piracy, nor in toxic fans. It's inside the house. South Korea itself — through its record companies, inhumane standards and marketing logic — is dismantling everything it built. The "K" in pop is being erased by the hypocrisy of an industry that would rather sell a global illusion than preserve its identity. And the artists, who should be the soul of the movement, are running away in silence or screaming for help. “Globalization” that became mischaracterization The official discourse of the big K-pop companies is that the industry is “evolving to become more global”. But in practice, this has meant the systematic erasure of Korean culture. According to data from the Korea Foundation for International Culture Exchange (KOFICE), in 2024 more than 60% of releases by rookie groups were in English, with only symbolic phrases in Korean — when they existed. This blind search for Western validation has made K-pop an “international” product on the label, but generic in essence. The language, visual identity, themes and even the artists' names are being formatted to suit American tastes. The result? A pasteurized Asian pop, where the "K" became just an aesthetic letter in marketing. Korea that exports talent but suffocates artists Paradoxically, the talents that sustain K-pop are increasingly being pushed out of Korea. Many Korean artists have chosen not to renew contracts with major local record labels, or even abandoned the “K-pop idol” label. The reason? The systemic oppression of the industry: abusive contracts, aesthetic exploitation, artistic censorship and zero creative freedom. In 2023, a survey by Korea Creative Content Agency showed that 58% of idols interviewed did not feel free to express their own artistic identity, and around 72% of former idols revealed psychological trauma related to their experience in the industry. Many renowned artists — such as CL, Jay Park, Kang Daniel and others — sought independent career paths for exactly this reason: they no longer wanted to be labeled as part of a system that oppressed them. The cruel irony: Korea created world stars, but failed to maintain an environment where they could truly shine. The industry that preaches perfection, but lives on hypocrisy The “perfect idol” culture is another reflection of the industry’s deep hypocrisy. Artists are required to be thin, young, submissive, tireless, available 24 hours a day and without scandals. The obsession with control reaches the point where agencies prohibit relationships, free eating and even haircuts without authorization. Meanwhile, companies make billions by selling the image of these artists as “authentic”, “free” and “inspiring”. SM Entertainment, for example, had a net profit of more than $80 million in 2023, while former employees and artists reported abusive environments. HYBE, which controls BTS, has accumulated more than $1 billion in annual revenue, but faces constant criticism for excessive releases, artist burnout and commercialization of idols' mental health as content. The “K” that was too small for big artists It's no coincidence that many idols are consciously dropping the “K” from pop. Jay Park created an independent record label focusing on Korean hip-hop free from idol censorship. CL, formerly of 2NE1, says she no longer fits the K-pop mold and prefers to be recognized as a global Asian artist. Taemin, even within SM, constantly expresses a desire for more creative freedom. The list grows every year. K-pop, once a symbol of innovation and boldness, has become a gilded prison where the country's greatest talents must choose: obey or abandon. South Korea used K-pop as a cultural weapon to conquer the world. But by trying to please everyone and control everything, you are destroying the soul of what you have built. By prioritizing algorithms, Westernized aesthetics and disposable idols, the country is killing one of its greatest assets: art made by Koreans, for the world, but with a Korean soul. The “K” in pop should never have been just marketing. He represented an identity, a creative force, a people. And now, thanks to the hypocrisy of the industry itself, that “K” is becoming increasingly silent — or being ripped away by the very artists who once proudly carried it on their chests. submitted by /u/gossippop [link] [comments]

Katseye is great and I don’t have a bias but the more I learn about Megan the more I feel like she is what would’ve been of me in an alternate dimension where i pursed art over science. Hear me out. We’re both: - Wasian/american (specially mixed with chinese) - Speak decent but kinda mediocre cantonese - The palest in our friend group - a little cringe? as in with sense of humor (i.e. borderline theater/band/anime kid type jokes every once in a while) - have a fixation on Phineas and Ferb - bisexual - started dancing as a toddler and to add on: she has psoriasis, i have eczema. basically the same condition in a different font. Anyways Megan’s great. Go Katseye. Go Eyekons. Love their new album and wish them all the success in taking over the global market. submitted by /u/carrotttomato [link] [comments]
