Articles / Timeline 250422 This day marks one year since HYBE launched their audit of Min Hee Jin and ADOR's management. Happy(?) 1st anniversary of the Megathreads! 250502 The 3rd hearing for Min Hee Jin vs. Belift Lab was set to take place but postponed to July 18th at Belift Lab's request. Each side is due to present their arguments/documents regarding plagiarism issues at the next meeting. (Source: Maeil Kyungjae) 250530 We learned that ADOR had filed for 'indirect enforcement' after their injunction was granted and NewJeans performed at ComplexCon back in March (Filed on April 4th according to the statement from NewJeans' representatives linked below). On the 30th, the 52nd Division of the Seoul Central District court further granted this request. The 'indirect enforcement' ruling means that each individual member of NewJeans will be fined 1 billion won (approx. $725,000) if they continue with entertainment activities independent of ADOR, which would be in violation of the injunction. This enforcement with potential fines does NOT apply to any of NewJeans' independent activities between the granting of the injunction and the granting of this 'indirect enforcement'. These fines will only apply to future activities going forward, or at least until rulings with NewJeans' appeal or the main contract validity case changes anything (next hearing on June 5th). (Source: Chosun Biz, MK Sports) The Korea Herald: Court orders NewJeans to pay Ador 1 billion won for each unauthorized activity Discussion Post Korea JoongAng Daily: Court orders NewJeans members to pay ADOR $725,600 for every independent entertainment activity A statement by NewJeans' representatives was made later in the day primarily acknowledging the indirect enforcement ruling, but reiterating that it is temporary and will no longer have an effect if NewJeans win their appeal of the injunction. (Source: Ilgan Sports) The 2nd hearing for Source Music's damages lawsuit against Min Hee Jin took place at the 12th Civil Affairs Division of the Seoul Western District Court. (Quick recap: 1st was January 10th, 2nd was previously scheduled for March 14th, postponed per Source Music's request). Legal representatives were present. Source Music had a 20-minute presentation prepared, but Min Hee Jin's representatives objected to the inclusion of KakaoTalk messages in the presentation. They claimed the messages were illegally obtained and requested the hearing to be closed/private. Source Music denied the messages were obtained illegally, claiming they were gained from company devices with consent. The court went with a temporary compromise to keep the hearing public, but not allow discussion/display of the messages until they were reviewed again. A special hearing to review the messages will take place June 27th. (Source: Sports Today) 250605 The Seoul Central District Court Division 41 held the second hearing for ADOR seeking confirmation of validity for their exclusive contract with NewJeans. Only legal representatives were in attendance. NewJeans' side primarily argued that ADOR had not met their obligations and that their evidence they were preparing to support NewJeans' activities, like finding a new producer, was inadequate. ADOR's side argued that NewJeans' reasons for allegedly terminating their contract continually changed, indicating they are arbitrary and being made up with retroactive hindsight. The issue of some evidence being collected illegally also came up again from NewJeans' side. Judge Jung Hoe-Il specifically inquired if both/either sides were willing to come to an agreement, encouraging them to do so. NewJeans' representatives strongly indicated this was unlikely as the trust in ADOR had completely collapsed. ADOR's representatives indicated they could see negotiating an agreement once the court comes to a final decision. The 3rd hearing was set for July 24th. (Sources: X Sport News, Maeil Kyungjae) 250612 The next hearing regarding the Shareholder Agreement termination and exercising put/call options lawsuits between HYBE and Min Hee Jin was held at the Seoul Central District Court's 31st Division. Arguments from each side mostly re-tread what we've already covered. HYBE's side argued they were justified in ending the shareholder agreement due to the threat Min Hee Jin posed to the company. Min Hee Hin's side argued the timing of the audit/termination did not align purely with that concern and that some KakaoTalk messages and emails were obtained illegally and not admissable as evidence. HYBE also indicated they had a witness to give testimony at the next meeting, which the court accepted. The next hearing with closing arguments, was set for September 11th for both lawsuits. (Sources: Maeil Kyungjae, TV Daily, Sports Today) 250617 Following up from April 16th when NewJeans appealed the court's decision to uphold the injunction and halt on their independent activities, the Seoul High Court reaffirmed the earlier decision. The court rejected NewJeans' appeal. They determined there was no significant change in the material/arguments presented for the appeal and the original decision to grant ADOR's injunction was justified. There was further clarification that the management conflict between HYBE and Min Hee Jin, and her no longer being NewJeans' producer, did not constitute a valid argument for the alleged collapse of trust between ADOR and NewJeans. The group's withdrawal from ADOR is considered arbitrary, that their artistic freedom or activity is not impeded since they are able to do so within their exclusive contract, and that any damages resulting from attempting independent activities are self-inflicted.

Ew trump. I do not support any misogynistic, white nationalist, incel, hitler-like (esp. Musk), racists at all and neither does this sub and apparently neither does reddit as a site as a whole. He stands against everything Kpop stands for which is an art form from a formerly colonized people from a country that is rising up against colonialism and hatred. Anyone who comments anything negative to this, or tries to defend that orange guy will be banned permanently. Go somewhere else, we don't want your lower kind here.

The subreddit is mostly uncensored as long as people follow the rules. Generalizing statement about Korea, Korean society, etc or most other countries are not acceptable except under the following standards: The only claims that are acceptable when generalizing Korean society in this sub are those that bring up generalizable stastical claims by the standards of the international statistics institute. Not only do the vast majority of stastistics you can find on the internet about Korea not up to this minimum, basic standard but this requirement includes having ample sample size, blocking by relevant demographics and sometimes even double blind tests. So if you make a generalizing claim, your wording must be properly formatted and links to the relevant studies provided. In other words, the standard for making a generalization is very high in this sub. Not to mention the wording for your claim has to be properly made. Anyone who has taken a college level statistics class will know what I am talking about and we may even require you to provide the confidence level interval if it's relevant for your study. If you cannot meet these standards, I would just avoid doing it in general. submitted by /u/Kpop_Love_Forever [link] [comments]

I recently made a post asking people what they thought of recent girl groups Japanese releases. I got a few recommendations and checked them out and they were so much better than the Korean releases 😭 (At least in my opinion). I'm not really into illit but a couple of people recommended Toki Yo Tomare and it was so good?? And it's not just illit, I actually prefer the recent Japanese releases of Itzy, lsf and I've to their Korean releases. Why does it feel like they're saving the best songs for Japan 😭 submitted by /u/Infamous_Egg_5625 [link] [comments]

These girls deserved so much better in the lyrics department. And before you say "lazy songwriting and lyrics is just part of kpop!" No. No it isn't. Bad and cheezy songwriting is, but not lazy songwriting. They are different even if they often overlap. submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

I know Apink since 2015. was a big fan for NoNoNo and Remember (ofc I still am!). but I havn't became a Panda till 2020 when Dumhdurum came out. I think the LOOK album is one of my fav Apink memories. it made me feel as if Dumhdurum is song of the year which to me it is, honestly this song still top at least my top 50 songs yearly even 5 years after release! other memory I love is of course Remember when it came out. can't believe that I kinda were there! and when Eunji relased Away (July 2020) she made that Vlive for the comeback, I miss Vlive, but this memory when I watched that live with her dogs is also my fav. since there is alot of pandas who knew Apink before I did, what is your fav Apink memory? would love to hear your stories 🩷 submitted by /u/Middle-Dragonfly-489 [link] [comments]

IMO, the fact that txt doesn’t have stage names is really nice. It makes them seem more genuine and makes it easier to communicate with them since they aren’t hidden under a stage persona. I wish more groups would have members that use their actual names in performances instead of a stage one. submitted by /u/Effective_Cash9085 [link] [comments]

i’m just wondering about your opinion. like let’s say they have good stage presence, passion, and a wonderful personality. but, their natural singing voice is “meh”. is it forgivable? im asking cuz i wanted to be an idol when i was younger, but my natural vocal colour isn’t that great. submitted by /u/Seyna_Dreamy [link] [comments]

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Hey everyone, Twice is back with a special album to commemorate their 10th anniversary as a group. Being a Kpop group for 10 years is an accomplishment and something that should be celebrated with any group. Before I hop into the project, I made a list of all the Twice album reviews I’ve done since I started reviewing music. As someone who has been a Once since 2015, I’m excited to explore this album and see what all the members have done with the record. Now let’s jump in as we celebrate the 10 years of Twice. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ https://preview.redd.it/50tpg4pqwbuf1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb902bb898994aa77b12a5c5d50bd1d6b0c488cf Past Twice Review Blogs: Twice First Full Album Twice Is In Love Summer With Twice Like Bulldozer, Like A Tank Twice!! Twice or Twice Twice is Fancy Twice is Special Twice & Twice Twice Falls Can't Stop Twice Taste of Twice Twice World O+T=<3 Celebrate Twice Between Twice Ready For Twice With Twice Diving into Twice The Strategy of Twice This is for Twice Enemy of Twice ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ TEN: The Story Goes On - Twice 1. Me + You The opening song on the album is the title track, which all the members helped co-write. The song is an R&B-pop tune that feels like it came right out of the 2000s. The members bring in smooth vocals that blend with the bouncy instrumental. I love the groovy nature that the tune delivers, fitting the lyrics. The hook has been stuck in my head as the lyrics and melody help make it catchy. Momo and Chae do a little rap that adds to the overall vibe of the song. The members' vocals hit hard on this tune, pulling everything together. The message of this tune hits as well as you can tell that this group has a bond and how much they’ve grown over the years since their debut back in 2015. Me + You opens up this project perfectly as everything fits together wonderfully. https://preview.redd.it/ohtrd38zwbuf1.jpg?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6c24548329e1b7c3ddc10200fec4202702ded41 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ MEEEEEE (NAYEON) After the title track, we get the first solo on the record one from Nayeon, which I’ve been excited about. I’ve been a big fan of her solo output since Pop! and was curious to see what MEEEEEE would be bringing to the table. MEEEEEEgoes for this bouncy-pop tune that has some tongue-in-cheek lyrics. The vocals are smooth, fitting the pop nature perfectly as they help make this one catchy tune. I wonder if this song was a leftover from her Na album she has already released, cause it feels like it could’ve been on that project. I’ve been having this tune on repeat today since it’s one that has been stuck in my head, and one that I can’t stop humming the melody. https://preview.redd.it/nwkjr867xbuf1.jpg?width=716&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d061ece163fe5269e9f5ea40d4a078f0376b9118 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ FIX A DRINK (JEONGYEON) Jeongyeon is the second solo on the album and one of the most interesting tracks. Jeongyeon’s solo goes for this country-pop tune, reminding me of Austin by Dasha. The guitar definitely has that country vibe, fitting with the smooth vocals from Jeongyeon. The lyrics have bits of a country twang to them that help paint the picture that the singer is delivering. The hook keeps pulling me back for more as I’m enjoying that section a lot. Jeonhyeon fits this country vibe perfectly, as this might be the best country-sounding song that has come out of Korea. If you think Jeongyeon can’t sing, listen to this track, cause she has a beautiful voice. https://preview.redd.it/36mon75fxbuf1.jpg?width=2669&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5cb6f6d5dc5f07cdb570eae473d86decbd477cf1 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ MOVE LIKE THAT (MOMO) Momo delivers the third solo on the album, fitting this dance-pop-sounding beat. Momo brings in a slick vocal performance that fits the thumping bass and synth. The hook has been growing on me with each listen, as I’m starting to like that section. Momo does give us a little rap that adds to the overall vibe of the tune, which works wonderfully with his voice. I find that Momo fits the best with a Dance-pop sound, as it lets her use a deeper tone that we don’t get to hear from her that much. I will say I like a deeper tone from Momo than her squeaky tone she normally does. https://preview.redd.it/75iu1twkxbuf1.jpg?width=266&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64f65bd24610440aa1fa23bfcaccb80887f317a5 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ DECAFFEINATED (SANA) Sana delivers the fourth solo on the album, one that has a tropical vibe to it that works well with her voice. Sana has a sweet voice that fits with this tropical-dance-pop beat like crazy. The hook has a smooth vibe that fits the performance perfectly. I wasn’t sure what type of song Sana would be going for, but after hearing it, I find that this tropical-dance-pop vibe fits her wonderfully, and this is another song on the album that is growing on me just like the Momo solo. This new Sana solo is just as good as Mirage, which was on the Misamo album. https://preview.redd.it/46m554vrxbuf1.jpg?width=266&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=741c47abbceee0e0632641ccc49c1045a8e2a3aa ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ ATM (JIHYO) The fifth solo on the album is from Jihyo, who goes for this slick-saltry-R&B tune that hits hard. Jihyo’s performance has a bit of a swag nature that blends with her voice. I love the delivery of the vocals as Jihyo hits some slick notes that blend with the smooth instrumental. The hook is smooth, just like the verses that keep pulling me back for more. Jihyo is a great vocalist, and this is another tune she dominates, even in the lyrics. The thumping nature of the bass adds to the vibe of the tune, which is helping get this song stuck in my head. The bridge is another section that hits hard as Jihyo hits some fantastic notes. https://preview.redd.it/4lczla0xxbuf1.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f86f8b12fa0602c4a90bfcb8c774aac576bc13b ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ STONE COLD (MINA) For the sixth solo on the album, Mina delivers this dark-pop tune that I didn’t expect from Mina. Mina’s slick voice hits hard with the dark nature of the instrumental. The groove the instrumental delivers is something that fits the delivery of the vocal performance. I might like this dark-pop tune from Mina a little more than Misty, but that was still a great song. The hook has this experimental vibe that adds to the overall vibe. Mina does a great job with her solo, which I will be having this track on repeat. https://preview.redd.it/6keh8zo1ybuf1.jpg?width=2001&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b2edf7dd131fbf52021772f9d40a335af5850d7 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ 8. CHESS (DAHYUN) Dahyun’s solo on the album turns Für Elise into a trap tune, which I didn’t expect. Dahyun delivers a killer performance that fits perfectly with the Für Elise sample. The hook is pretty catchy thanks to the sample the producers used. The thumping trap vibe moves the tune forward, blending with the vocals from the singer. During the bridge, Dahyun spits a rap that I didn’t expect at all, but it works wonderfully with the vibe. With each listen to Chess, I find myself falling in love with it even more as Dahyun keeps impressing me. https://preview.redd.it/vc5itl48ybuf1.jpg?width=278&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4c7fbb204bb198bc83257265ac273b0541a3d3b ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ 9. IN MY ROOM (CHAEYOUNG) Now, long ago, we heard Chaeyoung’s first solo album, one that went for an indie-pop sound that I didn’t expect. For her new song, she goes for a dream-pop sound with vocals that feel a bit pitched. At first, I didn’t like the vocals much, but I’m starting to get used to them. Chae’s performance fits the dream synth-pop melody that works with the singer. The hook is bouncy with its dreamy nature, which I think fits the singer the best. I have always found Chae the most different out of the group, and he solo music shows that she likes a different kind of sound than the rest of the group, but it’s something that works for her. https://preview.redd.it/0czw3xtcybuf1.jpg?width=275&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9a75148990e1df4afcf1bb8a862e73ae8c31209 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ 10. DIVE IN (TZUYU) Tzuyu closes out the album with an R&B-pop tune that works perfectly with her sweet voice. Tzuyu fits wonderfully with the high hats, the moves, and this bouncy tune perfectly. The hook is slick and smooth as Tzuyu brings in a sweet tone that adds to the mix. I feel like this solo from Tzuyu hit differently than what we got on her solo album, which I enjoyed a lot. DIVE IN closes out the album in an excellent way that makes this project complete. https://preview.redd.it/9qoha78hybuf1.jpg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a6e661ba1049ca5070f43df9bcba9eea1bf11c5 ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Summary: Twice released a special album that I had a fun time listening to, as it felt like a celebration of the ten years of being a group. The members do a great job with their solo’s impressing me a lot. Jeongyeon goes for this country-pop vibe that I wasn’t expecting at all, but it works wonderfully with her voice. Nayeon gave us a catchy pop solo that I know will be stuck in my head like crazy. Dahyun hit hard with the classical sample her solo brought to the table. All the solos on the project brought something to the table, and they are all ones that I will be having on repeat as I continue to celebrate ten years of Twice. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ https://preview.redd.it/7s03omakybuf1.jpg?width=1292&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af3b402610c5ad9f7f35986e80c1ed7d097dcd83 submitted by /u/Maltifandom23 [link] [comments]

I'm digging up old stuff I know (this being downvoted wouldn't surprise me and if it does it's fine lol), but is anyone still so dumbfounded by this? 2 of the biggest idols of the biggest kpop groups, being seen walking hand in hand together. Tons of evidence to support it was 99% them, and yet fans decided to.... mass delude themselves into believing they were cosplayers? Look, if they can play parasocial, so will I for a second; that walk and posture in the video was very Taehyung lol. I guess I got reminded of this incident because of the whole 'Jennie, Kai and Taehyung' incident this week of them all going to Paris lol, and for some reason, so many comments were once again stuff like "why is Taehyung dragged into this, they never dated". (and ofcourse they are ALWAYS Taekook shippers lmao). Anyway, I just think it's funny how these fans will act like they know their idols the best, up until it gets a bit too real for them and then all of a sudden they all are apparently in desperate need of a pair of glasses. submitted by /u/Due_Improvement_5699 [link] [comments]
