XDREAM have released a follow-up statement regarding Shun leaving XD, saying that they will release records and pursue legal action if indiscriminate acts (and the spreading of false information) against the remaining members continue

Stop portraying Seunghan as a victim of SM or the K-pop industry. He's accountable for his own actions. He’s not a foreign national unfamiliar with Korean values, or a young teenager taken out of school and pressured into the industry. Seunghan was born and raised in Korea. He knew the laws and cultural expectations, including the severity of sexual abuse and digital sex crimes against Korean women in Korea (dating violence is regularly in the news). CONTEXT FOR INTERNATIONAL FANS. In South Korea,1 in 3 women face physical or sexual violence, and justice is almost NEVER served (ex-NCT member Moon Taeil only got THREE years and 6 months for a group sexual assault of an unconscious woman; the late Goo Hara’s ex-boyfriend, who physically assaulted her and threatened to distribute revenge porn, only got ONE year and a fine). This societal issue affects all women and, tragically, young girls, too (e.g. Nth room/telegram scandal had middle-school aged victims). And women get DOXXED for peacefully protesting violence and misogyny against women. WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH SEUNGHAN? Because of these issues female K-pop fans are hyper vigilant against clues male idols are secretly misogynistic. And ALL companies/labels respond by either putting the member on hiatus (e.g. Stray kidz Hyunjin) or by removing them from the group entirely (IDID Junhwan) or by disbanding groups/predebut groups entirely (Trainee A Leo). Korean fans aren’t obligated to support someone who they suspect is misogynist and objectifies women. Would a member of the LGBTQ+ community have to support an artist that they suspect with good reason was homophobic or transphobic? NO. Would a POC have to support someone they suspected was secretly racist? NO. Why should Korean fans have to support someone they think objectifies and sexualises women? Because he’s your bias??? The double standards is insane. WHY DO THEY THINK HE IS MYSOGINISTIC? Seunghan took intimate kissing photos with his girlfriend, a minor at the time, and was careless enough with it that his friend got a hold of it and uploaded it online, or worst-case scenario, Seunghan uploaded it himself. IN A COUNTRY WHERE MOLKAS HAPPEN TO THOUSANDS OF WOMEN, EVERYDAY. He also made inappropriate comments about Le sserafim Eunchae, a minor at the time, which is also massively disrespectful in Korea as she is his senior/debuted first/sunbae in the industry). And there were many other rumours already floating around before he’d even been active 4 months. CONCLUSION Seunghan's mistakes were his own, not SM's, RIIZE members', nor his Korean fans'. Criticism of his actions isn't unwarranted; it's accountability. DOES THIS MEAN HE SHOULDN’T GET ANOTHER CAHNCE? NO. People learn and grow, but he did what he did. Stop blaming other people (least of all his ex-members). (This is coming from someone who has since unstanned RIIZE and is only a casual listener because their content it less fun without Seunghan because he was the most extroverted/loudest, and the quality of the live stages has declined because their vocal-line is much weaker now. I still don’t blame them, much less the Korean girls and women who have to deal with the things that they do for not wanting him there anymore). Anyway, stream Seunghan/XngHan’s solo debut song ‘Waste No Time’ and stop terrorising the other boys with OT7 posts/comments. submitted by /u/Mental_Room_5452 [link] [comments]

I’ve been a multi-stan for a while now, and something I keep noticing in K-pop discussions especially on X is this widespread belief that girl groups receive more hate than boy groups. While I completely understand where that idea comes from (and yes, misogyny is very real in the industry and fandom spaces), I honestly don't think the difference in hate is as one-sided as people make it seem. From what I’ve seen, all idols regardless of gender get picked apart for the tiniest things. Boy group members get dragged constantly, whether it's for their looks, behavior, talent, or even just existing in a certain space. I've seen male idols get hate for things as small as their haircut or wearing a certain outfit. Maybe I’m biased because I’m a male fan who stans more boy groups than girl groups, but I’ve really noticed that the criticism, overanalysis, and online hate is pretty evenly spread. The only difference is how it manifests. I’m not denying that some female idols face unique challenges, especially in a male-dominated society and industry. But I think it’s time we acknowledge that male idols aren’t exactly getting a free pass either. submitted by /u/Narrow_Start_5340 [link] [comments]

Have you ever listened to a song,it relates to you soo much,that makes you want to cry,That's what this song did for me. The lyrics talk about overthinking and anxiety that makes you loose sleep at night,difficulty of adulting,isn't that a story of majority of us? "During the deep night when everyone is asleep, A sleepless night when voices come to me, The ticking of the clock, The noise of the city is only getting louder. Between the piled-up choices, My shoulders become heavy with anxiety, What does it mean to become an adult? Yeah Everything is getting blurry." Never have a song lyrics spoke to me this deeply,i can relate it so much,due to my own share of countless sleepless night,I'm sure a lot of people do. But the song also has a hopeful tone to it,lyrics that speak about letting those feelings go,hoping for a future,where all this struggle will be a thing of the past. "The deeper the darkness, the brighter this night shines,That starlight that won't waver The reason for this moment, I know,,We should let it go Trying to name these uncertain emotions,Countless reasons for not being able to sleep,No darkness in this world,Will last forever, someday, it will glow". Taehyun helped in composing the main melody for this song,and wrote the lyrics for this healing song,I cannot thank him enough. His voice sets a gentle soothing nature to this song that gives you peace,listening to it.He is one of the most amazing singers i know. MV was done so artfully,depicting what the song signifies in a truthful and honest manner. Some songs,no matter how many years pass by,will still be heard and cherished,this will be one of them. In a world where instant trends,virality,hype and branding are rewarded,TXT still chooses to make music that speaks to the soul.Thank you.

Don't know if this is the correct subreddit to ask but just found out Taeil Moon got arrested for rape. Like he's a famous good looking dude in one of the most popular k pop groups so what would have compelled him to do this? Apparently some KPop stars have done the same but just got away with it. I used to like nct127 vlogs 2 years ago and always thought Taeil and Yuta were the coolest so wtf?!? I know the women is chinese but wouldn't it have even been easier to hookup with her as Taeil What is going on over there? submitted by /u/harrysnow81 [link] [comments]

I need this weather report concept to become a trend, it would be neat to see other K-pop acts make their discography into a weather report! Is anyone else in love with the album just from the highlight melody? BoA has a flawless discography in my opinion. submitted by /u/Shineepurlsandgems [link] [comments]

Netflix is likely releasing two sequels to KPDH and milking it for all it's worth - but it led me to think about how charming the movie is because it used so many Kpop culture references. But where does it go from here? You already have... - The concepts of Girl Crush, Dark & Aegyo with Saja Boys. To me, those are kind of the big ones, what's left is Sexy and Mature concepts? - Concerts with lightsticks, fan signing scene, variety show appearance, tik tok viral dance scene, red carpet fashion reference I would not want to be in the position of the creators in having to think about having to think of new Kpop culture things they didn't cover in the first movie (and it was rumored they wanted an ISAC scene). The only thing I can think of is Survival Shows and the Trainee system? Can you think of unique kpop things they didn't cover? submitted by /u/rtrazto [link] [comments]

if you’re in kpop fandom spaces, whenever there is an event or just in general ppl would like to talk and discuss about many things, but sometimes it can go out of hand and things blow out of proportion recent case that i’ve observed being about IVE, recently they’ve performed at the half time for Coupang Play series and one of the main discussions that happened was about the outfits, mainly wonyoungs outfit. Now me personally it doesn’t suit the event and idk why they didn’t dress her up in jersey shirts with shorts/pants like the other girls but wtv but the discussion went far when rei came on bubble and said some stuff about the outfits which wy fans did not like and resulted in leaving nasty comments towards her member now this got me thinking: why do kpop fandom spaces hate to have a healthy and civil conversation about things cus this won’t help anyone and it would only strain from the original conversation submitted by /u/Free-Application860 [link] [comments]
