The production cost of BTS' universe drama has been consistently being talked about because it seems strange

 Chorokbaem is set to release a blockbuster drama that can collaborate with global OTT (online video service) companies in the second half of the year.

The drama 'YOUTH', with a production cost of 40 B KRW, is about BTS' universe. It tells the journey of scarred boys who grow together in empathy for each other's pain. Writer Kim Soojin, known for her work like 'The Light in Your Eyes' and 'Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bokjoo', will be involved in the production of this drama.

If you compare it with the production costs of other dramas, you'll see why the 40 B KRW production cost of BTS' drama is unusual 

Squid Game (Season 1) had a production cost of 20 B KRW (9 episodes)

Sweet Home (Season 1) had a production cost of 30 B KRW (10 episodes)

 

Narco-Saints had a production cost of 35 B KRW (6 episodes)

Kingdom (Season 1) had a production cost of 35 B KRW (6 episodes)

Movie Snowpiercer had a production cost of 40 B KRW.

Movies Along with the Gods 1 + 2 had a total production cost of 40 B KRW.

Mr. Sunshine had a production cost of 40 B KRW (24 episodes)

Moving had a production cost of 50 B KRW (20 episodes)

You can't blame the casting -> All the actors in the BTS drama are newcomers.

Genre? You can't blame the CGI -> It's not a sci-fi drama, it's just a regular slice-of-life drama.

Blaming the different filming times also doesn't make sense -> Squid Game started filming in June to October 2020 (took a year). 

BTS drama YOUTH began filming in September 2020 -> halted -> an article appeared on April 7, 2021 stating they would resume filming with the goal to be released in 2021. 

: Since then, the production team and actors have resumed the temporarily halted filming. While the exact end date of filming and airing schedule has not been confirmed, filming is expected to continue until summer.

theqoo

-Has anyone actually seen it? Does it look like a lot of money was spent on the production of it?

-That cost 400 B KRW?

-Chorokbaem sounds familiar… Aren’t they a big company?

-Seriously, though... Who's laundering money here?

-How much did they pocket?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Now I see why they made this dramaㅋㅋ

-Ah...? Has it already been released?

-I thought BTS was in it, so I thought maybe the production costed a lot of money to pay BTS' appearances fee. But it turns out that the drama is actually starred by some rookie actors??

-Where did all that money go?

-It all went to their pocketㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Did they go to America with that money?

-What was the point of making this drama?

-How does that drama cost 400 B KRW?

-Shouldn’t this be investigated?

HYBE's Q3 operating profit is 54.2 billion KRW ... Year-on-year falls by 25.4% (net profit: 1.4 billion KRW).

 

Maeil Business | Reporter Sung Jungeun

https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/009/0005390971?sid=101

HYBE's revenue is 527.8 B KRW, which dropped 1.9% from the same period last year. While their net profit dropped by 98.6% to 1.4 B KRW. 

theqoo

-Net profit of 1.4 B KRW...?

-...? What's wrong with their net profit...

-Their revenue this year is quite similar to their revenue last year. Where are they spending their money for their net profit to drop so much?

-You're telling me their net profit is 1.4 B KRW??? For real??

-Are you sure that's the right number????

-Their net profit dropped even more. Wasn't it 2.9 B KRW last time?

-This is serious. Looks like they're going downhill.

-With a net profit of 1.4 B KRW, can they even invest in their artists?

-???? Honestly, I can't believe this.

-I mean... Is their net profit really 1.4 B KRW?? Are you sure it's not a typo? Does this even make sense?

-Looks like they're spending loads of money on PR that they end up with a net profit of 1.4 B KRWㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Where are they spending all of their money............?

-Where did they spend all their money?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Is that just an estimate or actually 1.4 B KRW?

-For real?? Are you sure they didn't miss a zero?

-Not even 14 B KRW but 1.4 B KRW???

It's very shocking to hear the words “Who would like someone like me?” come out of Lee Jehoon’s mouth... 

"I can't handle alcohol, all I do on dates is watch movies. Who would like someone like me? Other than talking about movies or music that I like, I don't really have much to day." Lee Jehoon says this with a shy smile, just like Seungmin from 'Architecture 101.' Ah, he's a fool who only knows acting.

-Be my mother's son-in-law.

-Me.

-My mom would like him.

-I like men who don't drink.

-Me!!!! Honestly, movies and music are the only thin I talk about as well... Finding someone who can have conversation with you with those two topics is harder than I expectedㅠㅠ

-Let's talk about movies with me.

-Me. Please. Me. It has to be me.

-Excuse me, please don't underestimate yourself, okay?! There'd be lines of people wanting to date you. I would be the first one in the line.

-Me!! Me!!! The problem is that you don't like me backㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-That's exactly my ideal type, though?ㅋㅋ

-Why can't you be objective...???

-Ah... He's such a fool.

-Is this guy kidding?...ㅠㅜ ㅜㅜㅜ

-Oppa, I'll quit drinking.

-Oppaㅜ You need to be more self-aware...

-I'm a VVIP member of CGV.

-He has no self-awareness at all...

Min Heejin: "HYBE, don't cover up your wicked act with money and power ... I hope this rotten organization will be reformed"

Joy News 24 | Reporter Jung Jiwon

https://www.joynews24.com/view/1779209

 Former ADOR CEO, Min Heejin, broke her silence. Min Heejin directed her criticism at HYBE, saying, "I hope through this incident, this rotten organization will be reformed." She also warned, "Don't cover up your wicked act with money and power."

Min Heejin recently shared with Joy News 24, "The reason I’ve been enduring this long and painful struggle for months is because neither NewJeans nor I should be the scapegoat of HYBE's retaliation."

What drove Min Heejin to continue this long and tough battle which began in April? What pushes Min Heejin to confront HYBE, despite losing a lot of things during the process? Through Joy News 24, Min Heejin revealed her side of the story, expressing her thoughts and experiences without omissions or additions, according to her own wishes.

Below is Min Heejin’s full statement:

HYBE's claims, which began with an illegal audit, are entirely fabricated and fictional.

On April 22, HYBE announced they were launching an audit, yet the audit inquiries they sent on that day were based on illegally obtained personal information and filled with absurd, fabricated, and low-quality questions. Surprisingly, this suggests that HYBE had 'already' illegally accessed and acquired personal information to make these questions even before the formal audit began. How on earth could they obtain another person's personal data without consent before the audit even started? This is very chilling.

What is the reason behind this unexpected illegal audit? I believe it is out of resentment held by HYBE executives, including Chairman Bang Sihyuk, former CEO Park Jiwon, and BELIFT Lab CEO Kim Taeho. I openly criticized and called out their numerous issues and wrongdoings in front of HYBE’s management and board members, and I believe this lowly act of targeting me with an audit is their petty revenge.

The reasons I have been bearing the personal financial burden to continue this long, painful fight for months are, first, because neither I nor NewJeans should be sacrificed as a scapegoat to HYBE’s irrational, hostile retaliation; and second, because I hope that exposing HYBE’s atrocities and malicious acts to the public will lead to reforming this rotten organization.

I sincerely wish for a society where wicked acts can no longer be concealed by money and power.

theqoo

-Fighting... This is a very scandalous incident, but the media are very quiet about it. It's frightening. I wonder what kind of battle Min Heejin has been fighting on her own...

-Fighting. Honestly, I don't think that company can be reformed...... They should just go bankrupt.

-Yeah, yeah. Exactly. But Min Heejin should apologize to the victims instead of staying silent and also reform herself.

-I'm rooting for Min Heejin.

-I completely agree with the last line. Please.

-Who would have thought HYBE would turn out this way when the scandal broke in April?

-Min Heejin has been in the entertainment industry for years. So, for her to be this horrified... How severe must HYBE's issues be?

-They took revenge just because she embarrassed them in public?ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ

-It’s clear they’re trying to wear her down. I don't think the term 'workplace harassment' suits them. They're like a crime organization at this point.

-Fighting. Stay strong!! I can't help much, but I already deleted all of HYBE idols' songs from my playlist. If we want to clean up the shit of the entertainment industry a.k.a HYBE, we need to boycott them.

-This is very impressive of her. I hope she wins.

Yulhee won't hold it anymore ... Files for custody and alimony suit against Choi Minhwan

 

eDaily | Reporter Kim Gayoung

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/018/0005876937

Former LABOUM member Yulhee is taking legal action against her ex-husband, Choi Minhwan, for child custody, alimony, and asset division.

According to legal sources on the 4th, Yulhee submitted a request to the Seoul Family Court for mediation on custody modification and claims for alimony and asset division. Since there were no proper discussions regarding custody or alimony at the time of their divorce back in 2023, these legal procedures are belatedly taking place now.

Previously, Yulhee revealed her reasons for divorce through her YouTube channel, saying that conflicts began after she discovered Minhwan’s visits to adult entertainment venues. The two of them spent a year trying to work on their relationship, but Minhwan was the first to bring up divorce, leading to their separation. Yulhee revealed shocking details about Minhwan's behavior that happened even before she learned about Minhwan's visits to adult entertainment venues, such as squeezing her chest and touching her vital body parts in front of her parents-in-law.

Yulhee initially refrained from discussing her divorce publicly. However, after appearing on the show Now I’m Alone and hearing a YouTuber claim that the reason behind her divorce was that because she 'ran away from home,' she decided to share her side to prevent further misunderstandings.

During the divorce, custody was granted to Minhwan. At that time, they agreed that he would temporarily hold custody and that Yulhee could claim it later once she could provide a stable environment for the children. Regarding this, Yulhee shared, “When the divorce was first discussed, I intended to bring the children with me, but the only financial support offered was 50 million won (approx. $37,000 USD) and 2 million won (approx. $1,500 USD) per month in child support. Realistically, I could rent a small place for our family, but it's like telling me to die."

Without proper legal counsel during the divorce, Yulhee later learned that she could pursue custody and asset division through post-divorce litigation. It is reported that she decided to proceed with these measures to reunite with her children.

Additionally, an audio recording shared by Yulhee raised suspicions of Minhwan's involvement in prostitution, leading police to open an investigation. Minhwan is now under investigation for violating both the Anti-Prostitution Law and the Sexual Violence Crime Punishment Act (for forcible molestation by a family member). Minhwan has since withdrawn from all broadcasts, including The Return of Superman, and has suspended all FT Island activities.

-Fightingㅠㅠ

-Fighting. I hope she gets everything she deserves.

-I think she has all the evidence she needs. Fighting.

-ㅜㅜ I hope this gets resolved well.

-She made a good decision.

-Fighting. She's still really young for this, though... I hope she stays strong!!

-She did the right thing. I'm rooting for her.

-Yulhee, stay strong!!!

-I'm glad she finally has the strength to fight. I can't imagine how difficult things must've been for her all this time. It must be like hell...😢 Fighting.

-Seems like Yulhee divorced him without knowing anythingㅠㅠ (That's why she didn't get her rights...) Fighting.

-Realistically speaking, custody will be hard for her. However, I hope she can get a proper asset division. Fighting!!!!

-How can you trust that kind of person to raise kids...

JYP seems to have finalized the name of their new rookie boy group

 

In 2021, JYP selected 5 members for the final debut lineup through a survival show, LOUD. One of them has left, so there are currently 4 remaining members in JYP.

(Fans recently spotted that these 4 members are consistently together. So it's almost certain that they are confirmed to debut)

Lee Gyehun

He had been training at JYP Ent. for a long time, even before LOUD.

He played the role of the ace and also the center member during LOUD.

It is expected that the team will be organized primarily around this member.

Amaru

He received praise for his outstanding vocal skills which are not typical for a Japanese contestant during the survival show.

He is expected to be at least the lead vocal, or maybe even the main vocal of the group.

Keiju

Despite being in 9th grade during LOUD, he gained popularity for his impressive dancing skills and cute visuals.

His debut has been delayed repeatedly and he is soon going to become an adultㅠ However, it is expected that he will be one of the popular members.

Lee Donghyun

He was the participant in LOUD that Park Jinyoung really liked and was eager to bring to JYP Ent. 

+Additionally, there are about three other members who have recently been spotted together, but they are presumed to be hidden trainees whose faces have not yet been revealed.

theqoo

-Finally..

-Sounds good, you can kind of feel the group’s vibe just from the nameㅋㅋ

-That's actually a good name.

-Wait... Didn't they already debut?

-Will they debut this year?

-Are the trainees from LOUD finally debuting?

-Is Gyehoon finally going to debut?

-Which division will they be in?

-It’s been a while since I’ve heard a group name I actually like right away.

-It kinda sounds like a brand name.

-It has a bit of a Gen Z vibe. I heard it’s named after a skateboard trick.

-The name’s pretty good. I'm looking forward to their debut.

-Are they going to debut next year?

-The name's so trendyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Now I'm curious about their fandom name. What will it be?

-Whoa... They're finally debuting.

-Keijuㅜㅜ Finally

-The logo is cute.

-That's a great name. I wonder what their fandom name will be...? JYP is pretty good at naming fanclubsㅋㅋㅋ

The cosmetic procedures Western (American) female celebrities do that Koreans can't understand

 Getting rid of the cheek fat to make their cheekbones protrude

This is one of the beauty standards that is pursued by Hollywood celebrities, which is said to make the cheeks appear hollow.

They pay people to make them look like skeletons. 

No... No... Not this...

theqoo

-Yeah, they have different beauty standards.

-Everyone will eventually look like that as they age. Why do they have to get plastic surgery just for that?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Is that why they do heavy shading?

-Your cheek fat will disappear naturally when you hit late 30s or 40s. So, why spend money just to do that?

-Do they hate looking younger than they actually are?

-And then, they start transferring fat to their faces when they get olderㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seriously, just love yourself.

-So in the West, when they do makeup, they emphasize their upper cheekbones and do heavy shading... Looks like they hate looking young. They seem to prefer to look charismatic and fierce.

-It’s really the complete opposite of South Korea.

-Meanwhile, we intentionally transfer fat to our facesㅋㅋㅋ Our beauty standards are so different.

-It seems like everyone around the world can't just love their own selves.
ㄴExactly, it’s just human nature to want what you don't have... But personally, I also want to be that slimㅋㅋ It looks so chic.

-My mom should go to America, then.

-They really do look like skeletons.

-It's not that they like hollow cheeks; they like to emphasize their cheekbones and jawlines.

The title tracks SNSD Seohyun and SHINee Taemin persuaded SM Ent. to release despite the company's initial opposition

The solo concept that SM Ent. originally wanted

Seohyun, describing Don't Say No, explained that it's a song sung 'shamelessly.' Originally, a different track was supposed to be the title of her album, but she personally persuaded Lee Sooman to make Don't Say No the title track.

SM Ent. initially opposed the mature and sexy concept of Seohyun’s album.

"They suggested a girlish concept, like releasing an album where I play the guitar. I appreciated the idea, especially since I’m already in my mid-20s. Haha. But there are a lot of younger artists who do that concept, and I’ve also done it many times myself. I wanted to show a different side of myself and share something new within me."

Girl with her guitar.

Something like this. 

And this is the title track that made it:

'Don't Say No'

The solo concept that SM Ent. originally wanted

Meanwhile, Taemin shared the process of how 'Move' was decided to be his title track. "Originally, Lee Sooman wanted to make 'Love', one of the side tracks on the album, to be the title track. But I told him that I wanted to go with 'Move'. Then he said, 'We should go with what Taemin wants,' respecting my decision."

A dance track that focuses more on vocals

LOVE

And the song that was chosen as the title track:

MOVE

theqoo

-I watch all of Seohyun's performances in music shows for Don't Say No. The promotion period was too short.

-I still listen to Don't Say No.

-I love Don't Say No, but SM Ent.'s choice would've been better...ㅜㅜㅜ

-For female solo singers, I think it's better to be appealing to the public than to be conceptual. Therefore, I think SM Ent.'s choice could've been better. Meanwhile, for male solo singers, it's better for them to go with conceptual styles that their fans like. Therefore, Move is better than SM Ent.'s original choice.

-I listen to Don't Say No a lot, even to this day. I just learned today that it was actually Seohyun's pick. I love the song.

-Choosing Don't Say No to be Seohyun's title track is actually a good choice. Among the solo idol songs that came out at that time, Don't Say No is the only one that I still listen to regularly.

-Love is a great song, but Move had a bigger impact.

-Please have a re-comeback with Don't Say No.

-I just listened to Don't Say No for the first time and I think the song is really good. However I feel like the outfit and concept don't suit the song...?

-Wow, Seohyun's song is amazing; I just listened to it for the first time.

Tweet about NewJeans' special characteristic that goes viral on Twitter

NewJeans’ special characteristic:

 Each member's choreography has slight differences, yet their timing and rhythm are perfectly synchronized. I can’t even imagine how much they must have practiced. 

This Tiktok video was from their early debut days!

theqoo

-I think Cookie is NewJeans' hidden gem. Both the song and choreography are amazing.

-They’re really good. Watching their performances makes my eyes feel freshㅋㅋ They've improved a lot with How Sweet.

-Ah, I want to see NewJeans on stage againㅠㅠㅠ

-The choreography for Cookie is seriously legendary.

-I wonder just how hard they practiced..

-They all have different moves, yet it feels unified... It's so cool.

-Personally, I think that is even harder than fully synchronized choreography. This is just my opinion!

-Hul, I always feel that too every time I watch NewJeans' performanceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ If you take a closer look, they all have different movesㅋㅋㅋㅋ But that's what makes the whole choreography look so natural and fun.

-Their performance is so cool, I really want to see them live even just for once. I'm definitely looking forward to their year-end stages.

-I love how they all dance freely, yet they don't look chaotic at all.

-It's satisfying to see them all have different moves, but still perfectly match the rhythm.

-Both of them look like Manhwa characters. How did Tsuki get even cuter?ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

-Hul... I thought HYBE's idols wouldn't post challenges with non-HYBE idols... I guess I was wrong.

-Every time they post a challenge, I can't help but think of that reportㅠ

-All I can think is, "This is probably going to be added to the report"ㅋㅋㅋ

-There's no way this will only receive positive reactions.

-Wow... Both of them have such big eyes. It fascinates meㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ILLIT's staff must have pretty thick skin. After that report got leaked, I thought they would be to embarrassed to go around asking other idols to film challengesㅠㅋㅋㅋ But again, they have to do everything the higher-ups order them to do... Tsuki is so freaking adorable.

-Since Tsuki comes from a small company, they probably think any kind of exposure would be good for their idols...

-I really love Tsuki's energy when she dances.

-Billlie might end up in HYBE's report tooㄷㄷ

-Tsuki is such a great dancer. I hope we all get to see her dancing more often...

-I wonder what will HYBE say about this in their report

-They must be taking turns to wear that necklace right...? There can’t be three of those massive gems, right?

-I've seen gems like that in real life, and they look even more beautiful and shine even brighter than in photos. You guys seriously have to go to a jewelry exhibit if you have time. It really lifts your mood to see pretty things like that.

-It looks like something that could increase your magic power if you wear it.

-Karina's neck is so long... She looks like a vampire.

-Karina's facial features are so fancyㅋㅋ I heard she was supposed to wear a different necklace, but it was sold. Am I right?

-Riri suits that necklace really well.

-If I had that around my neck, I'd be too nervous and can't even walk properly.

-Rihanna looks the best with it. Karina's dress covers the necklace a bitㅜ

-It seems like a hard necklace to pull off. Rihanna is the only one who looks natural with it.

-I feel this every time, but... Honestly, it doesn't look prettyㅠㅠ

-Rihanna is crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It suits her really well and her styling is on point.

-It seems like only people whose names end with 'na' can wear that necklace.

The similarities between Taylor Swift and HYBE idols' concerts

 

Top: Taylor Swift 1989 World Tour (2015)

Bottom: BTS Bang Bang Con (2020)

Top: Taylor Swift Reputation Stadium Tour (2018)

Bottom: BTS 2019 MAMA Performance (2019)

I deleted the third comparison since it could cause confusion

You can't deny that they used (Taylor Swift) as their reference

theqoo

-That snake, though... Do they even know what that snake means to Taylor? How can they blatantly copy thatㅠㅠ This is so upsetting.

-Comparisons like these make it clear that knockoffs can't catch up to the originals. I'm not defending the knockoffs.

-I don't know if it's because I'm a fan of Taylor, but I can't accept it if they said the snake was just a coincidenceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What relation does BTS have to that snake?

-I think they copied Taylor too much, both the first and second comparisons.

-It's funny that they can't even copy properly and end up with that kind of qualityㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Those umbrellas look cheap.

-They're copying Taylor's concept like it's a free source.

-Do they even know what that snake means to Taylor...?ㅋㅋ How can they just copy that? Especially with no context?

-I know what that snake means for Taylor, even as someone who is not really interested in pop singers... Why is there a snake on BTS' stage? It's so out of the blue.

-Taylor's snake has context and a narrative... Out of all the animals, a snake?

-It looks like they bought those umbrellas at a convenience store and just added some lightingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The snake has something to do with Hermes or Asclepius; it has nothing to do with Dionysus.

-If it's so common then why didn't they come up with those concepts first? They couldn't even think about it before EXO came up with those concepts?

-At this point, it's quite clear that they used EXO as reference.

-But aren't these concepts quite common?
