IVE Rei - Episode 61: It's trending in Japan these days! Making REI's GHIBLI vibes Kyaraben (character lunchbox) @ Follow Rei (250703) [ENG SUB]

This company is pretty much an expert at fumbling basically Every. Single. Groups that they have and Zerobaseone is pretty much one step away from having such an unceremonious disbandment. First lets start with the amount, or should I say a lack thereof OT9 contents that is becoming increasingly evident these days. Its basically mostly unit or solo contents, and its not even close to be fair with certain members (ehm RICKY) getting the shaft. This obviously causes akgaes to run rampant and Im not even blaming them atp because its been going on for so long its honestly crazy just how mishandled and mistreated they are (especially RICKY). But you know what? Maybe I can still stay positive, maybe I would be rewarded with the world tour that they will have on their final months. Boy little did I know the announcement of the tour dates will be the main reason I wrote this post in the first place. First of all, lets not even talk about the announcement yet. The world tour has been teased since April. And guess when the tour date was released? YESTERDAY. Three whole months of absolute silence and absolutely NOTHING regarding what's going on with the world tour. What's even worse? Zhang Hao pretty much confirmed they STILL never even do a group photo for this tour, and its evident with the complete empty space of their poster. You think that would mean they are saving that for the amount of tour dates that they have right? Well ladies and gentlemen, we have a grand total of... SEVEN tour dates in total. With a grand total of seven countries, ALL of them are from Asia. And they also happen to skip Jakarta (where I am living in right now 😀) and Manila, which means Indonesian and Filipino zeroses need to FLY overseas to see them this time around. Oh yeah should I remind you that they somehow have LESS tour dates than their first tour (with a grand total of EIGHT)??? Oh it gets even better. The date they are setting Seoul stops in? That is when Chuseok holiday is beginning. So yeah, imagine the amount of k zeroses and the members themselves that SHOULD be resting and celebrating this holiday but cannot because of Wakeone's incompentency (and mind you this part even made Gyuvin mad in live). The Saitama stops were held in WEEKDAYS where a lot of j zeroses wouldn't be able to attend. Hong Kong stop is when Dongzhi festival is happening, and on top of that was held on a relatively small venue. The Singapore stop? It was held right after the date where Yujin WOULD HAVE been taking his CSATs. This is very important to him, mind you, and the fact that he would probably have to compromise one of them is seriously fucked. If you're an American Zerose, better hope you have tons of money to go get yourselves ticket dates for Kcon LA, or otherwise you'd never ever going to see them live. For European Zeroses, well better hope you can fly to Lisbon to go to Mubank to watch them there. And as for Australian and LATAM zeroses, Wakeone pretty much says fuck you to you guys, you guys don't deserve to see them live. I know there's possibility of tour dates would be added, but by this point? Would it be feasible?? Weeks after the final stop would've been when their contract ENDED and most likely is when we'll see the group for the final time. On top of that end of the year award shows would be going on and Taipei date means they have to skip AAA already (and break Hanbin's MC streak as a result). God... its a mess. An absolute mess. Zerobaseone deserves better than this. They deserved an agency so much better than this and I would've hoped they magically can get a contract from a different company where they dont have to go through this shit again but honestly that feels like wishing for pigs to be able to grow wings. Tl:dr FUCK you Wakeone. You dont deserve them. At all. submitted by /u/EmanuelTheodorus [link] [comments]

NCTZENS REWIND! Rumored reports surfaced x (former twt) yesterday and today. According to unverified source, NCT NATION is set to take place in the second half of 2026 to first half of 2027. However... there's also some rumor that some members did not renew their contract and those who are severely overworked members still renewed theirs. Who do you think are the members that did not renew their contract with SM Entertainment? submitted by /u/Fit-Entertainer9733 [link] [comments]

I know that some people on this sub are delusional and pretend that this doesn‘t exist but let‘s be real, it totally exists and that goes for every major corporation or smaller agency. The concept in itself is so funny for some reason, like imagine being so desperate that you have to make the output of a company into your whole identity and by extension defend the actual company itself. Ain‘t gonna lie, some of you should be legal advisors to these corporations considering how hard you ride on their dick. Anyway, have a great day 😭😂✌️ submitted by /u/Physical_End_537 [link] [comments]

you can feel lonely even if you have thousands of fans and members who are always with you, because for some people that kind of love isn’t enough. while not everyone wants to date, i’m sure some idols want to have lovers and it must suck that they can’t/or don’t have enough time to form a strong bond with someone. being an idol can be so lonely when you think about it because you have so many people worshipping you but they’re in love with your persona/image not the actual you submitted by /u/sunsetky [link] [comments]

I saw the leaked clips of Under15 and they left me with a disgusting feeling. Children aged 8 to 14 dressed as adult idols, wearing makeup, with sexualized styling, dancing to choreographies that have nothing to do with their age. And we're not talking about a random video on YouTube. It was an official program, produced and funded in every sense. The fact that someone thought this was a good idea, that it was filmed, edited, and promoted as if nothing, says a lot about where the industry is now. This is no longer early training, this is pure exploitation. And it's not an isolated case. For a while now, we've been seeing how 13 or 14-year-old trainees debut with adult concepts. To dress them in miniskirts, to film them from dubious angles, to put heavy makeup on them, and to write lyrics they don't even understand. But Under15 broke any limits because they did it shamelessly, and the worst part is that they even had support from certain sectors of the fandom who defended it with phrases like "it's so they start young" or "they're just dancing." No. It's not just that. I don't understand how this didn't cause more noise outside the usual circle. We spend our time arguing over trivial matters and let truly concerning things slip by. If this had happened in the West, people would be filing lawsuits. submitted by /u/Seesawey [link] [comments]
