CRAXY - STUPIDZ @ KFN Consolation Train - Korea Defense Daily Comrades Marathon

“Love Your W' is a campaign that started in 2006, and for 20 years, it has been trying to spread awareness about the importance of early detection of breast cancer. However, in light of campaign reasons, the composition and progress of the event on October 15th was not appropriate, however, and we are taking this seriously. Above all, I would like to express my deepest apologies for the inconvenience and hurt caused by not taking into consideration the position of breast cancer patients and their families. Also, I am sorry if you think that many of you who participated with a good heart in the campaign and participated in the controversy have been uncomfortable. Thinking of everyone who has been affected by this event. Looking back at our imperfections. During the past years, at the core of this campaign has been the activities of the Korea Breast Health Foundation, which raises awareness of the importance of early detection of breast cancer and supports low-income surgeries, and the support of those who have shown warm interest in sponsoring the campaign. I'll continue to look at the parts that lack various criticisms and points based on the ground, so that their affectionate young sincerity doesn't lose its light. In light of this work, I will thoroughly review the previous process of event planning and execution. Thank you.” submitted by /u/Which_Mammoth9402 [link] [comments]

Idk if I’m (24F) the only person that feels this way but do you guys ever watch your fav kpop idols or groups and see all of the content they create from music, performances, variety shows, and brand events and feel like you’re not doing enough in your life?? I’ve been feeling like this a lot lately, and maybe it’s because I’m not happy with the way my life is right now and I’m not doing things that I love. I feel so exhausted physically and mentally whenever I come back from grad school or my part time job, thinking what’s the point of all this if it doesn’t make me happy and not lead me to the life I’ve always dreamed about? Sometimes I think how do these kpop idols do all these things and not feel burnt out? Is it because they’re doing something they love as work? Because even if that’s the case, they are constantly getting overworked and I wonder how they do it, how they manage to push forward and get the work done. Especially if they do training or are an active idol while going to school or college. Like how can people who are younger than me do all of these amazing great things while I struggle to do basic stuff that normal people my age do (ex: having a job, doing chores, working out, having hobbies and a social life)?? If you read through this post, thank you and let me know what you think about this topic 💗 submitted by /u/Princesspussy911 [link] [comments]

For some weird reason, there's some idol that their last name somehow stuck and known to non-fans. Like, Jay Park Mark Lee Jackson Wang Cha Eunwoo (technically Cha is not his real last name but you get the gist) submitted by /u/Personal_Damage6616 [link] [comments]

My ult recently is Baekhyun and I just realized his name got 8 letters. EIGHT. Every time I type it I lose a calorie. Why can’t I stan someone short like Lisa or Kai???! I had to fall for Baekhyun “8-freaking-letters” Byun. Anyway who got it worse?? Longest stage name u can think of?? So far I only got Heuning Kai (10 letters with a space) and I’m grinning just thinking abt how his fans typing that daily 💀 submitted by /u/Personal_Damage6616 [link] [comments]

This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion but I adore the ‘Fatal Love’ album by Monsta X… except for ‘Love Killa’ there were just so many incredible songs on that album and that’s the title track you pick?? I’ll never understand it. What’s an album that you love with all your heart except for one song? (Doesn’t have to be the title track, mine just happened to be) submitted by /u/Strawberry_0cean [link] [comments]

At least admit it. It is the least you could do submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

I’ve been thinking about relatability branding for a while but the whole situation with riize’s concert being cancelled kinda pushed me to talk about it now and also I’ve been thinking about this in relation to new jeans. This might be a bit long so I’m sorry in advance lol We all know that kpop is a visual focused medium like the appeal of it is to see pretty people dancing and singing with beautiful visuals to back the music up, and because there are so many groups branding becomes a way to make yourself stand out from the crowd. At the time riize debuted, boy groups weren’t really doing the whole “we’re friends who make music” thing, I think they were the progenitors to this and for that reason they gained a huge amount of attention in the west. People now like to deny it and say that their main focus was always Asian countries but anyone who was there when riize debuted could see that SM were trying something different with them, to capture the western market and it was working. People were really drawn to their branding of being college boys who were best friends that just happened to make music. Similarly (or exactly alike) New Jeans also burst onto the scene with the same branding a year prior. More than their y2k influenced aesthetics, their branding of being high school girls who were besties that made music together captured the public because of how authentic it seemed. Everything from their choreo to the way they presented themselves in videos pushed this relatability aspect. However, both these groups suffered scandals in which their branding, which previously was what made them stand out, worked as a detriment to them more than it would have had they had different branding. Riize had a member leave because of his history of dating which completely shattered people’s perception of them being normal guys who made music together and exposed the giant cooperation behind them manufacturing this image. As for New Jeans, well, I think we all know that the legal issues they got involved with completely shattered the uniform public perception of them. For both of these groups, it wouldn’t matter if they decide to continue on with the same branding or if they release the same good music in the future, the magic that their relatable branding established for them has been shattered. Of course, nothing with New Jeans has really been decided and Riize are only their third year in, but their momentum has been halted nonetheless. I don’t have empirical data for this but I honestly believe that if it had been any other group with any other branding (that wasn’t aimed to be relatable), they wouldn’t have experienced this level of backlash. For these groups, it was the magic of believing they were just like you that kept the public’s interest and once that was broken there’s no getting it back. Time will tell but it was interesting to me that the branding that originally made these groups stand out was also what contributed to the hardships they would/will face in trying to recover from the “scandals” submitted by /u/irenemins [link] [comments]

Just attending the event is not enough. It is the least you can do when attending a fancy charity event with a free dinner to just shoutout the thing the event is for. It is also just the good right thing to do. And saying "well, it did not hurt anybody" is not a good excuse. If you honestly think nothing can be morally bad or wrong without that thing having hurt someone... Also people were hurt by it. It was easy awareness that would have been spread to millions that now wasn't. That can and absolutely will affect people. This info is useful. There is no excuse. submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

While a big blame here is W Korea for the overall set up, people who are feeling off about the attendees aren’t in the wrong. It’s so odd to see so much defense for the attendees as if they didn’t know what the whole event was marketed as. People can say “it’s not their job to speak out against issues”, however that will never excuse behavior. It’s ok to hold people accountable, no matter who they are. Out of all the guests present, If only 3-4 talk about the actual issue, then there’s a problem. No one is asking for a long dialog of a speech, however a few minutes to stop the partying and at least say a few respectful words would make all the difference. But no, it just had to be a fashion party where you get drunk.. and don’t even get me started on Jay Park’s atrocious song choice. “But they didn’t plan it!” Yet they’re still contributing to it. They still chose to attend, they chose to post about it, they chose to drink alcohol, they chose to do aegyo at the cameras, and they chose to treat it like it’s a fashion gala. “They’re just doing a job” mind you these are celebrities. By simply not attending, they would lose little if not nothing at all. Again, you can’t expect celebrities to use their influence on things like this 24/7, but if you’re not even going to show an ounce of respect, why are you there? It’s not about acting like some superhero, it’s about having BASIC recognition. submitted by /u/Ambitious_Egg_1535 [link] [comments]

Here are the good/better idols and groups and what they did fyi: Speak up about the cause: Wonhee (ILLIT) Minju (ILLIT) Rei (IVE) Were respectful to the cause, promoted drinking water, or left early: Stray Kids ITZY ENHYPEN le sserafim (That is all that I know of now) submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

It has come that time of the year where the biggest kpop award show is just around the corner, the MAMA awards. Of course like usual, it has already stirred up controversy regarding the criteria changes, some fandoms being upset their faves did ‘t get nominated, and most notably regarding the best new artist award. Recently mnet decided to combine both the best new female and male artist category into one, which ofc means that between 10 groups only one will be given the rookie of the year award. This caused huge controversy around the kpop space since many found it quiet unfair, and instantly started claiming that allday project was the reason behind this. Now we all know who allday project is by now, since they are a coed group they wouldn’t had for the criteria for any so due to their mass success mnet most likely decided to combine both. Ofc many were upset, claiming that it was obvious favoritism and that they clearly only did this so they can have a huge benefit over all the other groups(which csn be the case its mnet). While I do find it strange, I want to point out that this isn’t really the first time mnet has done this. Back in 2014 due to akmu’s huge sucess, they decided to combine it aswell yet winner still won best new artist that year. In mnet’s defense, they probably thought that due to allday project massive success they couldn’t just leave them out of the nominations, like it or not they were probably the most successful rookies in charts since 2022. Ofc I have my own thoughts and I don’t know mnet’s true intentions, and I understand why many fandoms are upset by this I am aswell. Now besides all that, here are the 10 nominees for best new artist: AHOF, Allday Project, Baby don’t cry, Close your eyes, Close your eyes, Cortis, Hearts2hearts, idid, izna, kickflip, and Kiikii. Out of all this groups, who do you think will be the winner? Plus what are your opinions regarding the criteria change for best new artist? Please try to be the least biased you can, I know some of you might not like the nominees(allday project, which same). submitted by /u/DinnerSolid6462 [link] [comments]

People are not mad because idols partied. People are not mad because idols barely donated anything. People are not mad because the idols got drunk. People are mad because almost none of them said anything about breast cancer awareness. Showing up to the event does help the cause, but the least you could do if you are attending a fancy event with dinner and everything is shoutout the thing the event is for. This is not an excuse to hate on these idols though. Also, some idols actually did say stuff about breast cancer awareness. People are overreacting on both sides. These idols messed up, it happens. None of them are bad people. It was just kinda a dumb mistake. Thats all submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]
