The fan support controversy that has been blowing up on Twitter all day

 

The most hilarious part here is that the two teams who made the most money this year are the only ones who didn't give any fan support today. 

NewJeans - Hotpack, cookies, water, lunch box (sandwich), juice, blanket
TXT - Postcard, photocard, badge, keyring, cupcake, bread, coffee truck
(G)I-DLE - Photocard, café coupon
PLAVE - Lunchbox (Sandwich, Inari sushi), blanket, juice, face mask, serum, Twosome place gift card worth 30,000 KRW, hotpack
Taemin - Photocard
IVE - Photocard, hotpack (+ they also give a bottle of drink later on)
SKZ - 3 types of fruits sando, cookies, photocard, hotpack
Aespa - 
NMIXX - Photocard, cup pudding
ATEEZ - Photocard, eye massager, room spray, hotpack
CRAVITY - Photocard, hotpack
STAYC (Unit) - Photocard, rice cake
DAY6 -
NCT Doyoung - Hotpack, fish cake soup, madeleine
Boynextdoor - Carp bread, coffee truck, photocard
ZB1 - ?? (It hasn't finished yet)

List of the fan support fans receive from idols on Daejejeon today was released + Sparking complaints from some fans who attended the pre-recording.

The debate started with retweets pointing out which idols didn’t give out fan supports, leading to endless QRTS

We're not asking for Prada or Rolex that Oppas wear. Even just hotpacks and a coffee truck would've prevented this whole mess. F*ck this... We spent money, time, energy, and spirits. While other fans were enjoying fish cake soup, sandwich, and bread in the freezing cold, we sat on the asphalt with nothing. We're being mocked as the fans who didn't receive any fan support. 

Since the idols themselves don't care about how their fans wait or how they are treated. They don't even try to know or to improve the situation... That's why they don't bother with fan supports... It's frustrating to see people only criticizing the company. Well, it's true that the company should be criticized, but I want to say that the problem isn't just there. 

I didn’t attend pre-recordings or public events expecting anything, but still, I made time and endured the cold to go, and they only said they were grateful that we came all this way to support them at the end of the year? I'm sure they areㅜㅜ But I feel so upset... If other artists are doing it, I would be really grateful if they did the same thing... It's not like this is just a regular pre-recording. It's the last schedule of the yearㅠ 

Aespa's pre-recording for Gayo Daejejeon tomorrow was delayed for 3 hours. I thought they would at least send 700 kimbap rolls for fans... I was so mad.

And the Unnies said they had a gift for us after the pre-recording... I never expected it to be just them going out to the extended stage to greet the fans... 

People who can't relate to this probably suit being treated like a servant. 

Idols are entirely supported by unpaid fan labor and their wallets. Is there any other job like this? Because they treat fans who are expecting for a bit of fan support are being treated like beggars, they'll forever be at the bottom. 

What’s wrong with normalizing fan support? Fans aren't asking for luxury goods or anything. Fans are spending a lot of money already, giving them a roll of kimbap or a hot pack in the freezing cold should be a given. 

Do you think fans buy official merch, lighsticks, and albums just to get a single roll of kimbap? No, they do it out of love. Is it wrong to expect a little appreciation? The cost of fan support may not be cheap, but neither is what fans spend. 

Fans are not asking for fan support because they're beggars. Most pre-recordings take place in the early morning, so there's nowhere to eat. And even if it's during the day, they keep fans waiting for 40 minutes. How the f*ck fans are supposed to eat under those circumstances? If they don't want to call fans because of fan support, then they should hire people to be in the audience and pay them 30,000 KRW per person.

Seriously, there’s no way to eat in these conditions. 

The uproar started because the pre-recording for Gayo Daejejeon had long delays and harsh situations, causing some fans to snap. On top of that, there are bunch of fans across different fandoms joining in and arguing whether fan support is necessary. Twitter has been in this state of chaos for days. The debate still continues to today...

theqoo

-Fans come to see you, waiting for hours in freezing weather. So do something for them. Especially when all the other fandoms receive something from their idols, of course they feel upset when they don't receive anything at all.

-It's not like fans are forcing it... But wouldn't it be weirder if fans don't feel upset when they're the only ones who don't receive fan support from their idols?? What kind of life does someone lead if they're truly not upset about this?

-It's totally understandable. I can absolutely understand why they feel disappointed.

-Being called beggars is the funniest part hereㅋㅋㅋㅋ Do you think fans ask for fan support because they don't have money? Fans spend money and time in this freezing weather to cheer for their idols. If I were the idol, I'd feel indebted to them. It’s frustrating how idols take their fans’ dedication for granted.

-I'm so freaking sick of this. t's understandable to be upset, and the idols are wrong for not giving out fan support. But if you're so upset that it consumes you for days, maybe it's time to quit the fandom.

-It's not the first time the K-pop industry has treated fans like cash cows. It's understandable to be upset. The problem is that, despite all this, fans keep enabling itㅋㅋㅋㅋ At least after this backlash, maybe they’ll feel some pressure.

-One of the teams being criticized for not giving fan support is my favorite... It just makes me realize that considering how successful they are, the company and the idols don't care much about their fansㅎ...

-Well, now that things have turned this way... They can just give fan support next time.

-Seriously, how many days has it been? Is this really something worth getting this much hate for?

-I don’t think fans are demanding gifts, but seeing other artists give fan support must feel disheartening. Even just handing out hot packs would’ve warmed their hearts in this cold weather.

-It's understandable to be upset?!!! They're people before fangirls.

-Ugh, this controversy dragging on until the last day of the year. This is the ultimate level of brainrot.

-I get why fans are upset, but maybe they should try putting less time, effort, and money into it to avoid feeling this way.

-I understand the perspective, but bringing up everything and dragging this out for days is just so f*cking weird of them.

-Just don’t go. Why spend money, energy, and emotions on something that upsets you?

'6th Gen girl group' COSMOSY makes their debut today (31st) ... All members are Japanese

 

COSMOSY is officially making their debut today (31st) as a '6th-generation girl group.'

NTT Docomo Studio & Live announced, "The MV for Cosmosy's debut single 'zigy=zigy' was created with the collaboration of crews who have previously worked with BLACKPINK, Aespa, LE SSERAFIM, etc. Composed entirely of Japanese members, Cosmosy brings individuality and identity to life, expressing the worldview of girls growing up in this world and a new world."

The debut track, 'zigy=zigy', is a K-pop dance song that combines Afro-pop sounds with traditional Eastern vibes. The lyrics explore the inner conflicts and identity struggles faced by teenage girls facing heartbreak. Written in English, Korean, and Japanese, the song aims to resonate with a global audience.

The choreography for Cosmosy's debut song was created by Mood Dok, a former YGX choreographer, and combines dreamy and oriental elements. 

Made up of members A'mei, De_hana, Himesha, and Kamión, Cosmosy represents the concept of 'COSMOS of Youth,' symbolizing 'the possibilities of youth,' 'the infinite universe,' and 'growth through conflict.'

-Why are they K-pop if all the members are Japanese...?

-Is this another group like XG? And what’s with the 6th Gen?

-Seems like more Japanese artists are trying to hop on the K-pop bandwagon since the J-pop market looks hopeless.

-What’s this 6th Gen nonsense? The 5th Gen just barely started.

-Why are they K-pop? Besides, their concept is so terrible. What is that? A samurai?

-I watched their MV yesterday, and there was some Korean in the lyrics.

-Why are they considered K-pop?

-Why are they debuting in Korea instead of Japan?

-They’re all Japanese, so it’s J-pop, not K-pop.

-In our country, we call this J-pop.

-??? Did they come from the future or something? Why are they in the 6th Gen?

-What is this, an iPad? Why 6th Gen?

-They're a Japanese group, but they're debuting in Korea and calling themselves K-pop?

-Get out of K-pop.

I disagree with the statement that being afraid to date is like being afraid to drive out of fear of getting into a car accident

You guys are f*cking suck at analogies. You shouldn't compare dating to not driving because you're afraid of a car accident. Let's compare it to food instead. How about we use raw liver as an example? I have never tried it, but people who like it say it's delicious. They keep asking why I haven't tried it and say that it tastes amazing with sesame oil. But raw liver is highly prone to parasites and other infections. If it's not handled properly, you'll end up straight in the emergency room. And I'm more f*cking afraid of going to the emergency room than I am curious about how good raw liver tastes. Besides, do I have to eat raw liver? Is it necessary? There's so many other delicious things in the world. That's exactly how I feel about dating. I think dating is just one of many fun things in life.

theqoo 

-Asking me why I'm not dating is like asking why I'm not competing in the Olympics. It's on that level of absurdity.

-That's true. But I don't date not because I'm scared. I just don't feel the need for itㅋㅋ

-I totally agree. Dating is just a matter of preference now.

-I hate how people look at me with pity when I say I’m not dating. I’m just not doing it because I don’t want to, okay?

-I’m simply just not interested in dating. Why don’t I date? Because I’m not interested. I barely have time for things I am interested in, so why waste time on something I’m not?

-I just don't want to date. Why do people keep pressuring me into dating?

-I don’t get why people assume I must feel lonely. I’m not lonely, I’m not bored, and honestly, I was way more exhausted when I was datingㅠㅠ

-There’s no need to make analogies. There are plenty of things in the world you could do, but they’re not mandatory, so why is dating treated like it is?ㅋㅋㅋ

-I just don't want to, okay? I just hate those bastard men.

-Even though I've been in relationships, I still agree. The society we live in makes dating feels so unappealing.

-I’ve dated a few times too, but honestly? After dealing with jerks, it’s a no-brainer for me... Live my own life > dating.

-It's like soda. It's bad for your health, and I don't like it, so I don't drink it.

-Sure, there are moments when being alone feels lonely, but for the most part, being alone is peaceful and way more convenient.

-Everyone has different needs when it comes to relationships, it’s impossible to understand each other’s perspectives perfectly. So stop being nosy and mind your own business.

-People say you should date when you're young and prettyㅋㅋㅋㅋ Oh, so that’s the only thing to do at that age?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're technically saying that old and unattractive people shouldn't date.

The pilot of the Jeju Air flight involved in the tragic crash on the 29th has been identified as Han (45), a five-year captain with over 6,800 hours of flight experience and a former Air Force officer.

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport on the 30th, Captain Han served as a pilot in the Air Force before joining Jeju Air in 2014. He was promoted to captain in March 2019. To date, his total flight time is 6,823 hours, with approximately 2,500 of those hours as a captain over the past five years.

Captain Han was highly regarded by his colleagues for his exceptional flying skills. His former coworkers remember him as, "A colleague who never compromised on safety," and "Someone who would've done everything in his power until the very last moment in an emergency."

Lee, who worked with Captain Han as a flight instructor for over a year stating in 2012 stated, "I remember Captain Han (Instructor at the time) as someone who strictly followed regulations and procedures and never compromised on safety."

Lee shared, "I first saw the breaking news about the accident on the morning of the 29th and later learned that Captain Han was piloting the aircraft. It felt like my heart was being torn apart."

He added, "Although a full investigation is needed to determine the exact cause, it seems that several worst-case scenarios occurred simultaneously to cause the crash. I hope the Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board can quickly determine the exact cause."

-Even though I know nothing, I know he did his absolute bestㅠㅠㅠ May he rest in peace.

-To think that the captain and first officer seeing a wall ahead of them after doing everything they could... It's just so devastatingㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-He was still in his mid-40s, he was so youngㅠ... May he rest in peace.

-I might have flown on his plane at some point, and thinking about how heavy his heart must have been in those final moments is very heartbreaking. May he rest in peace.

-How terrified he must have been...ㅠㅠ May he rest in peace.

-The captain and first officer gave their absolute best until the end. May they rest in peace.

Two female students from Sejong Jang Youngsil High School among Jeju Air plane crash victims ... Joint memorial altar has been set up at the city hall

It has been confirmed that students from Sejong City were among the victims of the Jeju Air plane crash that occurred at Muan International Airport in Jeonnam Province.

According to Sejong City and the Sejong Office of Education on the 30th, two of the 175 passengers who died on Jeju Air Flight 7C2216 were students from Sejong Jang Youngsil High School located in Geumnam-myeon.

The two victims were sisters, sitting in the 11th and 12th grade, studying beauty and cosmetology. At the time of the accident, they were traveling with their family to celebrate their grandfather's 80th birthday. 

It has been reported that, in addition to the two students, their mother, younger brother, grandparents, and aunt's family, a total of nine family members, lost their lives in the accident.

The school announced the news of the accident to the students through a broadcast and held a moment of silence.

 The Sejong City Education Office held an emergency meeting that morning and decided to establish a joint memorial altar at the education office, separate from the one at City Hall. Additionally, a condolence team will be dispatched to Muan by the education office.

Sejong City will set up a joint memorial altar in the southern plaza of City Hall. The memorial altar will be open from 9AM every year during the mourning period until January 4th. 

In respect to the mourning period, various events have been canceled. The city has temporarily postponed Mayor Choi Minho's 2025 Major Work Plan Briefing which was originally scheduled for 10AM today to January 6th.

"Keeping promises to fans" Sung Sikyung and Lim Youngwoong to hold concerts as scheduled ... Rowoon's fan meeting to proceed


https://naver.me/FjbaWZRp

Despite the national mourning period declared until January 4th due to the Jeju Air plane crash, singers Sung Sikyung, Lim Youngwoon, and Lee Younghyun are proceeding with their scheduled concerts. Actor Rowoon will also hold his fan meetings as planned. They have decided to keep their promises to their fans and continue with their scheduled events.

According to a report by TenAsia on the 30th, Sung Sikyung will hold his year-end concert, 'Sung Sikyung,' at KSPO Dome on the 31st. Lee Younghyun will meet fans on the same day at COEX Auditorium with a concert titled 'For You Who Need My Songs.' Lim Youngwoong will perform four shows as part of his concert 'Lim Youngwoon's Recital' at Gocheok Sky Dome from January 2nd to 4th. Rowoon will also hold his fanmeeting, '2024 Rowoon Fanmeeting That Year, Through the Winter' at Yonsei University's Grand Hall on the 31st to interact with fans.

Since these events are taking place during a period of national mourning, it is expected that the performing artists and the audience will have a moment to mourn the victims of the recent tragedy and their families. Additionally, there is a possibility that the concert's setlist and overall tone may be adjusted.

An industry insider told TenAsia, "It would've been difficult to cancel year-end concerts as they have special meaning and planning by fans. Isn't it the duty of an artist to keep their promises to their fans?"

The insider added, "Regardless of whether concerts or events are canceled, it’s important that everyone finds their own way to express condolences during this period."

theqoo

-How can they suddenly cancel everything? There are so many people whose livelihoods depend on this. It's not like it's a broadcast. They should just proceed.

-The ones who are still alive need to keep living.

-It's not easy to cancel concerts because of the penalties.

-There are so many staff members and related people involved in these events. What can they do? They'll probably proceed with heavy hearts.

-Those who canceled or postponed events must've made a very difficult decision... But events that are already scheduled need to go on. Even those in the entertainment industry need to make a living tooㅠㅜ

-I can't really blame them. There are people whose livelihoods depend on this.

-People are still going to work, after all.

-I understand those who cancel their events and those who continue holding their events.

-Like with Jaurim, they could hold a moment of silence at the beginning and end of the show.

-Yesterday, Sung Sikyung also gave a message of condolence before starting his concert.

-Just because they're having a concert doesn't mean they're not mourning. There are a lot of stakes involved, and with businesses struggling these days, I think continuing is the right call.

-Everyone’s working to make a living. Those involved in this events are no different.

-I agree with all these commentsㅠㅜ Honestly, I wish even award shows would just go onㅠㅜ

-We’re all continuing our daily lives, so it's fine as long as we don't do things like fireworks.

Park Jaehyung's fans claim that JYP made TWICE replaced him as a guest for Coldplay's concert in South Korea (Which is of course, not true‼️)

Disclaimer: None of the translated comments reflect my personal opinions

 Park Jaehyung = Jae = Former member of DAY6 (That guy from K-Pop star)

When Seoㅇㅇ joins Park Jaehyung, they sabotage him from being the headliner, during the ㅇDaㅇ, and also from being the opener for Coldplay's concert. When will this dirty play end? I heard they're even going as far as preventing Jae from joining a new agency. Is the goal of this company is to disrupt his activities in South Korea and prevent eaJ from gaining a foothold in South Korea? 

It seems like they think JYP (Studio J) is sabotaging Jae's activities in Korea...ㅋ;

Coldplay, who already excited domestic fans with news of their concert in South Korea, especially after BTS's Jin participated as a special guest at their 2022 concert in Argentina, has heightened expectations for their Korean performance. After the guest was announced, TWICE's Jeongyeon shared on a fan communication app, "It was fascinating to hear that Coldplay requested for us,"increasing anticipations about the meeting of the two groups.

The reality is that Coldplay directly requested for TWICE ㅠㅋㅋ

Currently, fabricated information is circulating on Twitter's trending, so I'm posting it here on Theqoo.

Everything they claim is not true‼️‼️

theqoo

-Is he the guy who appeared on The Unit after leaving DAY6...?

-JYP may let their artists leave their companies, but they never sabotage their activities.

-I first learned about him when he made rude comments towards Jimin, and I guess his fans have issues too.

-They’ve been attacking DAY6 with crazy comments all year, now they’re even going after TWICE...

-If JYP sabotages the activities of their former artists, would Jay Park have become so successful?ㅋㅋㅋ

-It doesn’t even have that many likes. Is this the opinion of most of his fans?

-Who is Seo OO?

-Why are they like this...? They’re really sick,,

-As someone who used to like Jae, I wonder if those fans genuinely think acting like that will help the artist...?

-The fans are making the artist being mocked...;;;;

-JYP’s influence isn’t that strong.

-I don’t think anyone actually believes this anyway... They're just posting anything to spread rumorsㅋㅋㅋ

-??? Wait, there was a member who left DAY6?

-He left because he didn’t like Korea, so why is he still doing activities in Korea?ㅋㅋ

-I didn’t even know DAY6 had a member who left. Who is it?

Which song released in 2024 had the biggest impact?

 

Aespa's Supernova

Rosé & Bruno Mars' APT

theqoo

-APT. It's especially loved by kids.

-Even adults know APT.

-Honestly, I felt the impact of both songs so much that I can't choose. It's like Supernova in the summer and APT in the winter.

-If I had to choose between the two, it would be APT.

-In our country, Supernova is very impactful. But APT is more globally impactful.

-I only know the 'Su-su-su-supernova' part in Supernova because I often hear it at my workplace. While for APT, I've listened to the full version so it sounds more familiar to me. So for me, it's APT.

-Definitely APT. As soon as it was released, the Ahjussi in my workplace were all singing along, saying it was a strange song.

-But why do I have to pick just one? I felt the impact of both.

-Even preschool kids know APT.

-Bam Yang Gang and APT. I still don't know which song Supernova is.

-My mom keeps humming APT while she does her makeup.

-I think Bam Yang Gang, Supernova, and APT are the top 3. Among those, APT is on a whole different level.

-APT... I was so surprised when I found out that even my 80-year-old grandfather knows that song.

-I personally like Supernova, but APT has bigger impact globally.

-Supernova is popular among people in the 10s to 30s, but APTseems to be known by all generations.

MBC Entertainment Awards, which were scheduled to be recorded privately, seem to have been completely canceled.

 

Hello.
We are informing you that the 2024 MBC Entertainment Awards, which was scheduled for today, has been canceled.
We kindly ask for the understanding of fans who were schedules to attend the fan section and we will provide further details based on the future event schedule.
Thank you.

Announcement from Hyeri's agency, who was scheduled to be the MC of the awards today.

Earlier, there was an article saying that they might record the show privately today, but it seems like they've decided to cancel it entirely.

theqoo

-Celebrities are human too... How can they laugh, present, and accept awards in that situation...

-This is the right call. They won't even be able to give proper acceptance speeches, and even if they record it later, people will definitely criticize them for laughing after the tragedy. Canceling all year-end award ceremonies would be the right decision.

-This is the right choice.

-This is also a painful situation for the celebrities who attend the award ceremony.

-I think it's better not to do it at allㅠㅠ

-MBC made a good decision. It may seem like an obvious decision for the outsiders, but from the company's perspective, it's a huge loss. I think it was the right thing to do.

-It's not even been a few days, it's the same day as the incident. They made a good decision.

-Honestly, I think this is the hardest on the celebrities who were supposed to attend...

-It's an awards ceremony, so they can't laugh, but also can't not laugh either... It's difficult either way.

-Honestly, there must have been celebrities who didn’t want to go anyway.

-Well done. How could they smile and enjoy themselves in that situation? Everyone must have felt uncomfortable.

-Canceling the show is the right decision.

-Not only for their image, but celebrities are also citizens of this country... I don't think anyone would want to go.

-Exactly, this is not the right atmosphere for an awards ceremony right now.

"Why just now?" ... Family members express outrage as Jeju Air executives arrive late at the scene

 

Jeju Air executives arrived at the scene 11 hours after the Jeju Air flight crash at Muan International Airport in Jeollanam-do, causing family members of the victims to express their anger.

CEO of Jeju Air Kim Yibae, Vice Chairman of Aekyung Group Go Joon, CEO of AK Holdings, and other executives from Jeju Air and its parent company, AK Group, arrived ta Muan Airport around 8 PM on the 29th to offer their condolences to the families and promised full support in the future.

In response, the family members criticized the executives for arriving so late, expressing frustration. Park Hanshin, the temporary representative of the victims' families, confronted CEO Kim and the vice chairman, saying "We have been looking for Jeju Air officials for hours, but no one showed up. He added, "In a world where one can reach anywhere in the country within three to four hours, why are you only showing up 11 hours later? What are you trying to do?" He continued, "This is a situation where you should have come earlier to sincerely apologize. I don’t understand why it took so long. Would they be this late if the victims were your own families?"

CEO Kim explained, "We were late because we were organizing an initial response team to support the government investigation and holding briefings in Seoul." He continued, "We are sending 260 support personnel to Muan to assist the families. We will support all procedures, including funeral arrangements." Head of Jeju Air's Planning Division, Lee Jungseok, added, "We arrived early to set up an on-site response headquarters nad handle the accident site. We will take responsibility for the requests made by the families and offer our full support."

The families also criticized Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Park Sangwoo, and Governor of Jeollanam-do Kim Youngrok who visited the site. Minister Park stated at 7:30 PM on the same day, "The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is holds the biggest responsibility for this accident. We will not avoid our responsibility and will swiftly investigate the cause of the incident."

However, the families were frustrated with the response they received, as they were only told that identification of the victims was still ongoing. Family member A said, "We have been requesting all day for a situation room to be set up so that we can ask questions, but nothing has been set up. Even when they hold briefings, they keep giving the same answer that they are still verifying identities. It's so frustrating."

Meanwhile, Jeju Air Flight 7C2216, which departed from Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand, crashed at Muan Airport at 9:03 AM. The landing gear failed to deploy, and the plane attempted a belly landing but was unable to slow down, crashing into airport structures. Of the 181 people aboard (6 crew members), 179 were confirmed dead. Two crew members were rescued and transported to a hospital in Seoul. As of 8:38 PM that day, the identities of 65 victims had been identified.

theqoo

-Whoa... That's so late? Did they go on foot or what?

-What were they doing that it took them 11 hours to show up?

-Seriously, would you show up 11 hours later if the victims were your family?

-Are they crazy? This is not America. Our country is small. Why did it take them 11 hours to show up?

-11 hours is crazy, isn't it? It seems like they didn't want to come in the first place.

-These disgusting people must've been racking their brains trying to avoid responsibility for 11 hours.

-?? Is this real? You should’ve rushed over as soon as the accident happened.

-I’m never flying Jeju Air again.

-I don’t know about others, but the airline CEO should’ve rushed immediately. What were they doing coming so late? Are they only there for a photo op now?

-You can get anywhere in the country in just 4 hours, though...

-Seriously, are they even human? The accident happened at 9 AM, and they only showed up after sunset?

-I can't believe they only showed up 11 hours after the accident... It takes even less time to fly from Bangkok to Seoul...

-They should've been the first to arrive.

-You idiots, are you even human?

Government declares 7-day national mourning period until 24:00 on January 4th

https://n.news.naver.com/article/050/0000084400 

On the 29th, the government announced a 7-day national mourning period following the Jeju Air passenger plane crash that occurred at Muan International Airport in South Jeolla Province. The mourning period will begin on the day of the incident and last until January 4 of the coming year.

Joint memorial altars will be set up at the crash site in Muan Airport, and in 17 cities and provinces including Jeonnam, Gwangju, Seoul, and Sejong. Public institutions will fly flags at half-mast, and government officials will wear black armbands as a sign of mourning.

Acting President and Deputy Prime Minister for Economy and Minister of Economy and Finance, Choi Sangmok, stated during a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters, "The government has decided to designate the next seven days, from today to January 4 at 24:00, as a national mourning period. We will set up memorial altars at the Muan Airport accident site and in 17 cities and provinces to express condolences and mourn the victims."

theqoo

-Why are they emphasizing it? What's the point of setting a period to mourn? It's a pain that will be remembered for a lifetime.

-I'll mourn however I want. Why are you deciding and acting all high and mighty? And does this government even function right now?

-It sounds like they're saying they won't make any appointments until the mourning period is over.

-They're trying to silence people again like they did after the Itaewon tragedyㅋㅋ

-Mourning is something you do on your own, why force it? It's obvious they're trying to silence us.

-Why put a time frame on mourning? Are they using this to silence the people and slack off during this period?

-Mourning is mourning, just do your job and don't mess around.

-We're in a state of no government. Who are you?

-I'll mourn however I want, so stop with this nonsense about a mourning period.

-Don't try to take advantage of this tragedy. It's disgusting.

-Just go to jail already.

-Why do this? People will mourn on their own, is this a dictatorship? Why are you setting a time limit?

-Do you think we're stupid?

-Even if you tell us not to mourn, we will still mourn. So stop playing president and just sign the papers, you bastard.

-You still need to work. How dare you use this as an excuse to slack off?

A Thai woman in her 20s, who was aboard the Jeju Air flight that crashed while landing at Muan International Airport in South Jeolla Province, was on her way to visit her mother, who was living in Korea after getting married, when the tragedy occurred.

B, also married to a Korean citizen, lived in Naju, Jeollanam-do with her Korean Husband. Despite living far from home, she visited her family in Udon Thani, Thailand, about once a year. Earlier this month, she traveler to Thailand with her husband, who had returned to South Korea ahead of her. Unfortunately, B boarded in the flight that got into accident.

A representative from the Thai Embassy in South Korea stated, "We are in contact with B's family in Thailand. They desperately want to claim the body of the deceased." They added, "Since B was on a marriage visa, we need to contact her husband. However, we haven't been able to reach him yet. We are currently working to search for his contact information."

The crash occurred at 9:03 AM as the plane collided with the exterior wall while landing at Muan International Airport. The flight, Jeju Air Flight 7C2216, was a B737-800 carrying 181 people, including 175 passengers and 6 crew members.

As of 7:20 PM, authorities confirmed the deaths of 177 individuals and rescued two crew members. Rescue operations, which began at the rear of the aircraft, are ongoing to identify additional casualties.

-According to the news, the survivor was likely thrown out when the aircraft broke apart, which increased their chances of survival ㅠㅠ If that's the case, they must have experienced a huge shockㅠㅠ

'Squid Game 2' becomes the first show to take the #1 spot on Netflix in all countries

 

It's reported that the show topped the charts in all 93 countries, earning a maximum score of 930 points.

theqoo

-Even though it receives a lot of hate, people still watch it.

-Wow, that's impressive.

-Koreans are the only one who finds it boringㅋㅋㅋ It's because there are too many famous actors starring in it, making the storyline predictable.

-I watched it all in one day to avoid spoilers. Season 3 is going to be really important.

-If it's getting this much attention, they should have made it better. Even if it's just a bridge to Season 3, the quality is....

-It's just... watchable for me. Probably because I didn't watch Season 1 and watched this season with no expectations.

-Wow, it was really boring... but congrats anyway.

-I turned it on with high hopes but turned it off after episode 3 because it was boring. I wonder if it gets better later on?

-I guess I'm the only one who isn't watching it....

-Is it good? I haven't watched Season 1.

-I'm watching episode 4 right now.

-Don't lie, it's really bad.

'Squid Game 2' Director Hwang Donghyuk speaks up amid criticism: "Season 3 will be better than Season 2"

 

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/144/0001009505

While viewers have shown mixed reactions to 'Squid Game 2,' Director Hwang Donhyuk, who created the 'Squid Game' series, expressed strong confidence about Season 3.

On the 26th, AP News released an interview they did with Director Hwang Donghyuk ahead of the release of Netflix's original series 'Squid Game 2.' Since its release, the show has been gaining various reactions, and in the interview, Director Hwang Donghyuk gave a hint about 'Squid Game 3.'

He stated, "I'm a bit hesitant to say this, but the setting takes place 10 to 20 years into the future." He added, "It will have a darker atmosphere than Season 2, and while it will be very brutal and sad, it will also be quite strange and humorous." He further continued, "Season 3 will be better than Season 2."

theqoo

-Why does he keep making it darker and deeper?

-Am I the only one who actually enjoyed Season 2?

-Huh? Wasn't Season 3 supposed to continue from the previous episode? What's this?

-This article is wrong. The future setting is not for Squid Game, but for his next project.

-??? Suddenly it's in the future?

-Yeah, I'll watch it when Season 3 comes out.

-Well, because it's going to be hard for it to be worse than Season 2...

-Then release Season 3 tomorrow...

-There's going to be Season 3??

-Season 2 was so boring and loose... They should've cut the unnecessary parts.

-This is hilarious.....ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I'm watching Season 2 right now and it's not that great. If it continues like this, I won’t expect much from Season 3.

-They're doing Season 3???ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Does he really think Netflix will fund that?

-Season 2 was so fun, I'm looking forward to it.
