theqoo

-Are they in their right mind? 127 is going on hiatus soon. These f*ckers should be focusing on NCT 127 instead of NCT right now...

-Yeah... I'm sure these plans are going to get postponed or delayed anyway...

-You freaking liars... You know you can't handle that many releases in the 3rd quarter...

-Wasn't Taeil born in 1994...? Isn't now the time for him to release something...?

-Taeyeon said she's currently not preparing any comebacks at all but her name is there...

-127 is going on a hiatus soon and SM is not giving them any comebacks??

-When will they release Red Velvet's 3rd full album??

-Where's WayV??

-We're getting an album with Sungchan and Shotaro in it??ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-What... They're debuting new groups again??

-What the f*ck are they doing... They should be releasing EXO's album before Sehun enlists in the military...

-Give us Ten's mini album^^

-What about WayV and NCT 127?? When will Sungchan and Shotaro be back??

-Is it possible for SM to release all of those in the 3rd quarter?ㄷㄷ

YG's rookie girl group, BABYMONS7ER, final members

 

Asa - is planned to be included in YG's Japanese girl group project

Rora - is planned to be included in the next debuting group because she's still young

.

.

.

.

However, as they are all part of the YG Family, YG will be debuting all seven of them after taking considerations into viewers' opinions. 

They are planned to debut before the end of fall this year



theqoo

-I think he purposely announced that he will only debut 5 members in the beginning because he thought the group wouldn't get as much attention if he just debuted them right away... I really Yang Hyunsuk and his lies, but I always fall for them...

-I knew he would to thisㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Congratulations on debuting, babies. I really don't want to see Yang Hyunsuk anymore. 

-First of all, I knew he would do this. It's such a relief that the seven of them are all going to debut. Can Yang Hyunsuk go away now, please?

-That psycho bastard...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Oh Gosh...

-Yang Hyunsuk is the one who should be eliminated

-The pattern is always the sameㅋㅋㅋ He always says he's going to eliminate some trainees, but end up including them all in the final lineup anywayㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Is it fun for him to threat the girls by saying that the revealed members were not the final members and that he could eliminate some of them?

-Yeah, I knew this would happen. He would absolutely debut the trainees that he likes. He always does things as he pleases...

-Please debut as soon as possible. I'm ready to fangirl over this group. 

-Look at the logo... The T in the MONSTER is actually a 7...

-Why didn't he just say that he was going to debut all of them from the beginning?

-He said that the group is planned to debut before fall ends... That means they're going to debut at the very end of fallㅎ Hurry up and set a date...

-There are only 3 Koreans in this group...

-I love how they all look so excited for the encore stage. Congratulations, LE SSERAFIM!!

-I really love Kazuha's tone when she raps...

All of Aespa's members have private Instagram accounts

 

(I want to) create an Instagram account

'You should make a private Instagram accounts'


'We all have one'

If that's the case, they should be allowed to create an official personal Instagram account.

pann
[+259][-82]

1. [+264][-27] Are there even any idols who don't have private accounts? It's okay to have one as long as they don't post pictures that should be kept to their private accounts on their official accounts like Minnie...

2. [+237][-18] Ningning being honest about having private accounts is so much better than your Oppas who lie about not having one as they go on dates with their girlfriends behind your back. Why are you making such a big deal out of nothingㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+226][-12] I'm not a fan, but logically... Do you really think idols don't have private accounts? It's not like anything will happen just because Ningning admits it. Why are you making a fuss?

4. [+211][-14] Logically, I don't think there are any idols who don't have private accounts, though. I'm surprised to see the comments here. 

5. [+186][-12] Do you really think idols live without Instagram?

6. [+127][-197] Why did she say that;;

7. [+80][-5] Look at the people who make such a big fuss out of this... They're trying so hard to hate her

 Aespa shares their concerns when they guest on a show:

Karina:
I don't get abs no matter how hard I work out...
I don't have individual talents (I can't answer when I'm asked about my specialtiesㅠㅠ)

Textbook response of an idol

Hello! I really want to drink Coca-Cola Zero right now...ㅠ Can I have just one can please?<3 

She just wants to drink cokeㅠㅠ

The fact that these four girls are in one group is really funny and I'm so proud of themㅠ



theqoo

-Ningning is really funny... She always reminds me of Hyoyeonㅋㅋㅋ

-Someone should give Ningning a can of Coke as soon as possibleㅋㅋㅋㅋ큐ㅠㅠㅠ

-I feel like if Ningning had Aladdin's magic lamp, she would still ask for a can of Cokeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Karina really does sound like a leaderㅋㅋㅋㅋ She can just easily answer that her specialty is her face...

-The four of them are funny in different waysㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Their answers show their characters really wellㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ningning's answer is so long and full of sincerity. In the end, she just wants a can of Cokeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Karina's individual talent is her face, though...

-I feel like all of Aespa's members are really uniqueㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're full of charms

-The way Ningning starts her answer with 'Hello!!' is so funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-So cute... She makes me want to give her a can of Cokeㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I really like Winter's personalityㅋㅋㅋㅋ I love how all of Aespa's members don't fake their personalities. They're so real.

-I think now I know why Karina is the leader...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're so cuteㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2022 K-Pop Idol World Tour Income Ranking

 


TOP 22 Highest Concert Ticket Sales 

BTS ranks #17. Blackpink and Seventeen were not on the list, but they were at #35 and #39.

theqoo

-BTS ranks #1 with just 7 shows. That's really amazing. 

-I wonder how it feels like to earn $118 M with just 7 showsㄷㄷㄷ That means they earn $17 M in every show, roughly estimatedㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-They earn that much just from the tickets only?? Idols also sell a lot of merchandise at their concerts... That's really a lot of money

-BTS ranks #1 with just 7 shows...ㅎㄷㄷ Not to mention that they weren't able to fill all the seats for their concert in Seoul due to the social distancing protocol...

-Blackpink still has some encore shows left... I'm looking forward to how much more it would add to their revenue...

-Out of those 7 shows, 3 of them were held in Seoul when the social distancing protocol was still practiced...

-BTS with just 7 shows... They're truly on a whole different level...

-Wow, BTS... I wonder how much they could've made if they had gone on the Map of The Soul Tour, which didn't happen due to COVID-19?

-Whoa... BTS ranks #1 with just 7 shows, they're impossible to win over. I wonder how much more they could've made if it wasn't for COVID-19... What a shameㅠㅠㅠ

-BTS with just 7 shows...

The trainee that people predict to have a high possibility to debut through YG's girl group survival show

 


Ahyeon

Her singing skill is at a main vocal level, plus her face is also at a main-visual level

Yang Hyunsuk seems to really like her, saying that she's 'the girl who has a lot of talent'. People who watch Baby Monster's survival show know that Ahyeon is most likely to debut. 



+ YG will be announcing the trainees who will debut in Baby Monster tomorrow

theqoo

-The company already revealed 7 trainees, but they're only going to debut 5 members in the end? What about the trainees who don't make it to the final lineup?ㅠㅠ I really hate this strategy...

-YG needs to close down if Ahyeon doesn't get to debut...

-I think she's going to be a top star just like Jennie...

-So this is really a survival show??? They're not going to debut the 7 of them??

-But even though YG keeps saying they will eliminate some trainees, they actually will still debut them in the end, right?

-It's my first time seeing her and I'm already amazed by her... I hope she gets to debut...

-The 7 of them are talented and beautiful... YG should just debut them allㅠㅠ

-Ahyeon is an all-rounder with charms... Leejung even said that Ahyeon's dance skills and facial expressions are amazing... 

-I know Ahyeon will be a superstar one day... 

-I really hope Haram, Ahyeon, and Rora get to debut...

-I hope she gets to debut with Pharita...

-Whoa... Her cover of Dangerously is really amazing...

-I love how she hits the high notes effortlessly

Teen Top's C.A.P recent Instagram post

 Hello. This is Bang Minsu. 

First of all, I would like to apologize to those who were hurt by my words and actions. 

I was aware that my actions were selfish, only thinking about myself despite knowing that it could cause controversy. 

I knew that my behavior was also hurtful to my teammates, whom I've been closer to than my brothers for a long time, as well to those who believed in and supported me. 

All this time, I felt like I had been wearing clothes that didn't fit me. Now, I want to take off those clothes and I ended up making the wrong actions. I have no excuse. It was entirely my fault and negligence. 

I apologize to my teammates and company, who have understood even my immature behavior. I also apologize to the fans who may have been surprised and disappointed by my actions. 

I hope that there will be no more harm to Teen Top members and company staff who have been working hard for the upcoming comeback. I sincerely apologize once again. 

Thank you to everyone who has loved Teen Top's C.A.P. until now. I am truly grateful. 

theqoo

-For someone who doesn't feel like he suits to be an idol, he promoted for a really long time...

-Whoa... He must've really wanted to leave the group...

-I can totally understand him. I think quitting is the best option for him. I personally think it's better to just retire as an idol if he doesn't feel like it suits him. 

-It must've been really hard for him all this time. I hope both C.A.P and his teammates are happy now.

-I sincerely hope he will find something he actually likes and live happily...

-I can't imagine how tough it must've been for him to force himself to do something that doesn't suit him...

-Forcing yourself to do something that doesn't fit you will only make you sick. No one else will take responsibility for your life anyway. I hope he will find and pursue something that makes him happy. 

-I think him quitting the group was the best option for both himself and his group.

-He made the right decision. No matter how long you've been in the industry if it doesn't fit you, it will only harm your mental. It's the best for him to leave before that happens. 

-He must've endured a lot, considering that he has been doing something that doesn't fit him for that long. I think it's the best way for both parties. 

-If being an idol doesn't fit him, it's better to leave. We also resign and change jobs if it doesn't fit ourselves. It's harder for idols because of their contracts.

TEEN TOP's C.A.P leaves the group ... TOP Media "The group will continue activities with the remaining 4 members"

 On the 11th, TOP Media announced, "After discussions with the members, C.A.P. decided to leave the group as of today." As a result, Teen Top will continue activities with 4 members, Chunji, Niel, Ricky, and Changjo. 

Previously, C.A.P. had caused controversy for inappropriate behavior as he was swearing during a live broadcast. There were concerns that this could harm the group as they were preparing for a full-group comeback. 

TOP Media apologizes as they stated, "We deeply apologize for the concern caused to many people by C.A.P's reckless words and actions." They continued, "We will provide further information regarding the comeback after discussing it with the members."

theqoo

-It's the best way for both parties anyway...

-Seriously, though. I don't think he suits to be an idol. I think he may be better suited for something other than being an idol, I would be really happy to support him;; Not to mention that his physical figure didn't suit Teen Top. Anyway, I'm looking forward to Teen Top's new album.

-It sounds like a better decision than forcing himself to do something that he doesn't want to do. I hope he can live comfortably while doing what he likes which is painting!

-That's great! I hope all of them can live happily while doing what they like to do...

-Hul... I can't believe he left just like that. It seems like they were nothing more than just work colleagues after all.

-There's nothing good from forcing him to stay when his heart is already somewhere elseㅋㅋ

-I didn't expect him to actually leave the group, but it seems like it's for the best. If he doesn't want to do it, why should he be forced to continue with the group activities just because there's still some time left in his contract? It's the job he chose when he was young, and people change their minds over time anyway. 

-That's right... I think this is the best solution they could come up with...

-Nowadays, it's not necessarily better to forcibly maintain the original members. Times have changed. Kicking members like him could be the way to save the team.

-I love how they kick him out right awayㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Looks like he really doesn't want to continue being an idol now...

-I didn't even know he was still in the group...
