I put the official statement in the comments: As far as I know the Billie members only moved out of dorms last year and Haruna is only 19! It's scary enough to live alone but to live alone as a 19 year old in a country that you aren't from must be terrifying for her. What's even worse is that from the statement it seems like Haruna was inside while the house broken into, so thank god that she wasn't physically hurt. I personally think that it's good that she's taking a break because that must be traumatising. What do people get from breaking into idols houses and invading their privacy? Do they think it's a watt pad story where their going to fall in love with their stalker? Like NO just let them live and do what they love without getting harrassed. I hope Haruna can relax and improve her mental health now. submitted by /u/AvocadoFun3905 [link] [comments]

Now that Hearts2Hearts has made their first comeback, I wanted to share some thoughts and ask what others think. Are they considered successful by SM’s standards? Let’s look at some of their numbers, these might not be 100% accurate since i got some of this info from their fanbase account on X. Domestic (MelOn) 1. The Chase Realtime Chart: peaked in the 20s Daily Chart: peaked in the 30s (Still charting in MelOn Top 100) 2. Style Realtime Chart: peaked in the 20s Daily Chart: also in the 30s (Stable and could still rise) 🌎 Global stats Spotify (4M monthly listeners) The Chase: 59M Style: 21M Butterflies: 13M YouTube Music (33.6M monthly listeners) The Chase: 74M Style: 37M Butterflies: 7.7M My opinion: These are good numbers, especially for a rookie group. If they were from a mid-tier company, I’d say this is a solid success. But because they’re under SM Entertainment, the expectations are much higher. In the K-pop community, H2H still hasn’t made that big impact yet. People don’t really see them as a “successful” SM girl group, at least not yet. They didn’t have an instant viral hit, and their debut was relatively quiet, though their momentum seems to be building slowly over time. Among SM stans, I’ve noticed a lot of fans defending them, saying their first or second comeback will be the “breakthrough.” So there’s a lot expectation on their next mini album (coming Q3). It might be their best chance to shift public perception. From a neutral perspective, I think they’re doing pretty well. But by SM standards? It still feels like they haven’t made much noise. People expect a lot from SM girl groups, so I’m really curious how SM plan the next comeback and how it’ll be received. So what do you guys think about H2H so far? submitted by /u/matt_vaghn [link] [comments]

It’s no surprise that BP2 is a wreck. From blank favoritism in trainees to scummy editing tactics, it is genuinely a hard watch. Everything about this show feels cruel to the trainees. The showrunners care about ratings. The judges blatantly push looks over talent. The trainees themselves are facsimiles of whatever the shareholders want them to be, and pushed down our throats. This is the same stuff that happened in BP1 and every survival show for that matter. As I’ve gotten older, it’s has become harder to ignore the corporate fakeness of idols as a whole. Gone were the days of Korea as the underdog in music which pushed this almost holier than thou attitude amongst fans. You sort of excused a lot of shitty things the industry puts on their talent. I myself have engaged in not so flattering behavior. Disillusioned. That’s how I feel. Disillusioned. I remember how Dayeon was shoved down our throats in GP999 despite her talent. I remember the rigging scandals of PDX101 and Idol School. I remember the trauma of Iland, and the manufactured nature of RUNext. Every show is like this. MNET dropped the mask a little too quickly after the success of ZB1, and are desperate to recreate it. They have deluded themselves into thinking that they are reason everything has succeeded. They were always like this, and I chose to not question with it. How can I ignore something I didn’t want to perceive? This season sucks, and it’s a symptom not the cause. submitted by /u/Agent_Epsilon_99 [link] [comments]

Looking through the comments I found a comment of mine talking about Woodz, I'm always amazed by him and today was no exception 😂 I didn't even remember that I had left a comment talking about him. submitted by /u/Separate-Comedian-25 [link] [comments]

Modhaus entertainment (artms and tripleS) do have some issues (the usual issues of kpop companies, but also the over-the-top voting system for tripleS, for example airport clothes, which comes of as too much for me) but they are putting their neck out with originality. Let me explain : I recently rewatched Birth and icarus (cinematic ver) mvs, and was blown again by the originality, from the use of drawings, to the dark as fuck concepts (I mean, watch the beginning of icarus cinema ver, the story line about the missing arms and wings) and also sonically (birth is the most original song of the last 5 years at least) with unusual structures and choice of instrumentals, as well as overall vibes. TripleS concept in itself is also very original, 24 members with temporary subunits that change all the time, voting for tt etc. And that risk taking could go so wrong. I respect them for going out of the kpop comfort zone. In the current industry, wether you like what comes out or not, we can agree that most companies tend to stay in their comfort zone, doing what they know will work, easy listening music etc. And that's understandable, they invest so much and can't risk loosing money. But that ends up feeling unoriginal. I love when groups release risky songs and break the kpop soundscape. Originality should be rewarded so much more than it is. Modhaus creative team is top tier and I hope they know it. submitted by /u/Fine_Internal408 [link] [comments]

So, I've seen that other companies like Hybe, JYP and YG report the touring numbers for their groups, but not SM , and this is why SM groups are never on Billboards lists whenever they announce the highest grossing K-Pop concerts within a year. All I could find was for NCT127 was The Neo City Origin Tour numbers, the Newark and Mexico City dates from the Link tour. For Aespa, all I could find was the LA date for the Synk Hyper Line Tour. And for NCT Dream, all I could find was their London show for their In A Dream Tour submitted by /u/cwarosvski [link] [comments]
