It seems that those born in '98 have lived through every iconic era of idol groups, making it a "golden era" for them

 I started my idol fandom journey with TVXQ and SS501, and then experienced the eras of SHINee, BEAST, INFINITE, BTOB, TEEN TOP, B.A.P, and many others. I also went through the era when EXO unified fandoms during my 9th grade and experienced the times of EXO, BTS, and SEVENTEEN in high school. It truly feels like a 'golden era'. Those born in '98 have been blessed to experience from TVXQ to Wanna One

instiz

-That's me!! I've experienced all of thatㅎㅋㅎㅋ

-Oh, I'm '98 too, so trueㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Just curious, for those born in '98, who was the most popular male idol among girls when you were in elementary school?

-Born in '97, I've been a fan since the second generation up to the current fifth generation.

-That's me!!!! I started with TVXQ and SHINee, and I'm still a fan of SHINee now.

-I experienced all of that during that time, it was so much funㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Born in '99, I can relate. From TVXQ,  Big Bang, SHINee to BEAST, INFINITE, TEEN TOP, B1A4 during my elementary and middle school days.

-I'm '98 and started with DBSK and have been into K-pop ever sinceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It's a pity that I was only in middle school during Produce 101 Season 2ㅜ

-Born in '97, I agree. But these days, the generation of idols changes so quickly that everyone probably thinks they've experienced all of itㅋㅋㅋ

-Exactly, there was such a variety of idol fansㅋㅋㅋ I had friends who were fans of Shinhwa, DBSK, and even BTS.

-I was so happy during my school days.

-I started with Big Bang, Girls' Generation, and Wonder Girls in 2008~2009.

-I was born in '97, but I can't get past the second to fifth generationsㅋㅋ

Hyungyu Really Resembles an SM Idol

 

instiz

-He gives off a Wonbin vibe.

-Seriously good-looking.

-When you say it, he really gives off an Eunseok vibeㅋㅋㅋㅋ I don't mean they look alike, but maybe they have similar facial features?

-I didn't think much about it before, but in this picture with the beanie and long hair, he really does give off a RIIZE vibeㅋㅋㅋ He's always been handsome.

Youngji received criticism for posting a screenshot of text from Dokyeom she received?

 

"Youngji-ya, let's receive many blessings in the new year! You've worked so hard this past year~ It must have been a valuable year for you. I'll always be cheering you on, so I hope you soar even higher in 2024 :) Take good care of your health and eat well!"

instiz

-Youngji suddenly posted an apology letter... Wonder what happened...

-I don't see any mistake... Why apologize...?

-Did the foreigners make a fuss?

-What's there to apologize for?

-What made Seventeen fans uncomfortable?

-All the fans liked it and found it cute. Who and what made it uncomfortable?

-Oh, I'm a Carat, and I found it cute tooㅠㅠㅠㅠㅜㅜㅜㅜ Yeongji, there's nothing wrong with youㅜㅜㅜㅜ

-???? I'm confused.

-Who? I'm genuinely curious, not trying to start a fight.

-I just thought that some overly sensitive people might have overreacted when they saw that tweet.

-Isn't it common to send such messages for the New Year's greetings?

-Again, these people? I don't want to be grouped with them under the term "fandom."

-? It was just cute~ That's all.

-I was browsing Twitter and suddenly saw an apology post... I was so surprised... I wish Youngji didn't take it to heart.

-Ugh, why are people making a fuss over this? My friends around me just said our idol is sweet and cute and moved on. There are some weird people causing trouble.

Seriously, "bonsang"? I thought it was a song title from "Jebewon"? And in the midst of this, "gb1".. it's just two alphabets and a number, how did they get it wrong?

- LE SSERAFIM & NewJeans (Debuted in 2022): Released a total of 3 physical albums.

theqoo

-Only 8 songs in the regular album?

-With just these songs, how did they manage their tours? Even if they have been earning well so far, what about the future? They can't keep reusing the same setlist, right?

-Is it because of Teddy's exclusive producing, or is it YG Entertainment's strategy? This is quite extreme.

-There are too few songs, but the tour was a success.

-With solos, they have enough songs.

-How do they decide the tour setlist??? Always the same songs?

-During the tour, they probably perform many cover songs.

-They released about 30 songs in 7 years. If you average it out, they released one album with 10 songs every 2.5 years. Still, it's limited, but maintaining their status with that number of songs is impressive.

-YG really knows how to maximize their value, huh? Releasing songs over 7 years and still touring.

-Their image isn't overly exploited, which seems good.

-They even included almost half of the singles they previously released in that first full-length album.

-When BIGBANG started, their mini-albums had 6-7 songs, which means half of a full-length album, right? ㅎㅎㅎ But now, with 8 songs, it's considered a full-length album.

-Why are people upset about BLACKPINK releasing fewer albums?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's not that fans are disappointed or that they're not fans; it's just people who aren't fans are getting worked up. Why is that?ㅋㅋ

-Why are so many people upset?

"Born this way".. Rise's Anton responds confidently to mocking comments about parental influence

RIIZE's Anton confidently responded to malicious comments.

Recently, on the group RIIZE's TikTok, a comment was posted towards member Anton saying, "NEPO BABYYY."

"Nepo baby" is a term that mocks children who achieve success without any special effort due to their parents' influence.

In response, Anton replied with "born this way by Lady Gaga."

This phrase quotes a sentiment often used to express the feelings of LGBTQ+ individuals about being born with their sexual orientation or identity.

Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' is recognized as an anthem for the LGBTQ+ community, encapsulating their experiences and struggles.

Anton's handling of the malicious comment is being praised as bold and refreshing, with many applauding his response. However, some are questioning whether using the phrase from the LGBTQ+ community crosses a line.

theqoo

-I don't understand why Anton is getting hate for responding to excessive comments. It's okay to ignore it, but isn't it okay to respond as well? Korea always wants victims to be quiet. He was silent and suddenly started receiving hate, but why can't he respond?

-But really... isn't this just a light-hearted joke? It's funny how Korea reacts so intensely.

-It feels refreshing to see a straightforward response.

-Wow, RIIZE is so popular! 

-Even though Yoonsang brings initial attention, if he himself lacks charm, he won't gain popularity, right?

-I don't care much, but he was handsome. Even if he wasn't Yoonsang's son, he would've debuted somewhere else, right? 

-But if someone quoted Lady Gaga's song, "Born This Way," it wouldn't be a big issue either. The essence of "Born This Way" is that regardless of who you are, you shouldn't deny yourself but love yourself. Even if he said he didn't ride on his parents' fame, it's not like he denied his background or identity. I don't understand why quoting "Born This Way" would be a problem. Those making a fuss probably want to hate him anyway.

-I understand the perspective of someone who isn't a fan. They might think he's getting attention just because of his father. But considering his fan base, even if he wasn't Yoonsang's son, he probably would've become popular somewhere. But since he grew up in such an environment, what can he do? But even before his debut, there were articles saying he always wore expensive clothes and had a silver spoon. It seems like such sentiments make people think more about his parents, not that he's bragging about them

-Commenting on a video with his dad and Nepo Baby in a derogatory way is disrespectful, right? It's crossing a line. Even the ignorant haters who accuse him of planting hate comments seem the same. He was born and raised in the US before coming to Korea, so he probably knows more about that song than the haters. Let's start the new year with a more peaceful mindset~~

-Even though I'm not a fan of RIIZE, this controversy is absurd. "Born This Way" isn't something only a few can use. Why even make it into a news article? The world is filled with mockery, anger, and hate.

-"Born This Way" for him...? I don't have any negative feelings towards him, but it seems out of place. His situation and the song don't seem to match...

Stray Kids Felix's makeup at the Gayo Daejejeon, which has sparked differing opinions

 




Screen capture from the broadcast.

The opinion seems to be divided between 'Too much' and 'Looks great on Felix'.

theqoo

-I'm not a fan, but I remember thinking he looked pretty while watching the live broadcast.

-Absolutely gorgeous.

-But the capture looks tooㅋㅋ harsh. I watched the live broadcast, and it didn't seem that strange.

-It looks a bit pale, so it's not the best, but anything seems to suit this face.

-It's a bit too much... The beanie is pretty, though.

-It's for an end-of-year stage, so what's the fuss? It's not as exaggerated as you think. 

-I'm not a fan, but it looks good on himㅋㅋ If I were a fan, I would've loved itㅋㅋㅋ

-I like Felix, but watching the live broadcast, I felt it was too much and not pretty... Seriously, this is why male idols are becoming more feminine...

-Felix is handsome, but the makeup seems off.

-It's pretty.

-I watched the live broadcast, and it looked too pale. The makeup wasn't great, but the edited photos look perfect.

-It's a special stage, so it seems they did it specially. Sometimes, exaggerated looks like this really suit him, so it's okay.

-Why? Are fans divided on this? Just looking at the main post, it looks pretty to meㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I think he can pull it off well since he receives these well.

-Self-praiseㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why is the article so biased?

-The title is too muchㅋㅋㅋ

The company that is being criticized and receiving backlash for suspending the activities of the rookie girl group in this manner

 

There's a rookie girl group that debuted in 2022 called CSR. They gained a bit of a reputation as a pure and innocent girl group that's rare to see in the 4th generation. Despite being from a relatively new idol agency, their songs are quite good, and they have been recognized by many as having several hit songs within the pure and innocent idol circle.

On KakaoTalk, they were a group that a few fans discreetly favored among the pure and innocent idol groups. 

Hello,

We would like to inform you about the activities of our artist, CSR members Duna, Geumhee, Seoyeon, and Yeham.

Due to overseas schedules, the four members (Duna, Geumhee, Seoyeon, Yeham) will have limited SNS and Bubble messaging activities for the time being. Whenever possible, these members will try to meet fans and we ask for your support as they manage their overseas schedules.

Therefore, domestic schedules will proceed with a three-member system: Sihyeon, Yuna, and Sua.

We kindly ask for your understanding.

Thank you.

Recently, a sudden notice came up.

Because of this, fans are wondering why their international schedules are causing their activities to stop and are feeling anxious.


I found out that those four members auditioned for a Thai girl group through unofficial channels, not from any official announcement by the company.

When Thai fans started saying that our members are appearing there, I was taken aback when I saw the video and photos yesterday (Note: There aren't any members from Southeast Asia in the group).

Already, they released a hit song last year, but they've only been active once. Now, everyone's waiting for their comeback. Why did they suddenly go for a Thai girl group audition? I'm worried about what will happen to the team in the future.


So, currently, domestic activities are being carried out by Sua, Sihyeon, and Yuna. There's no certainty as to how long this arrangement will last.


How should I wrap this up..? 😢 Please listen to their hit songs from time to time.. 

Since they've already left, I hope Doona, Geumhee, and Yeham (members) and Seoyeon do well and come back soon. 🥹

theqoo

-Did they go out to gather Thai fans? If they want international fans, the company should invest to improve the quality. Instead, they're trying to exploit the members' abilities without proper investment.

-They could have gone to a domestic audition, why Thailand...?

-Why did they audition for a Thai idol group?

-Why Thailand?

-It's really out of the blue, why?

-They were pushed quite a bit here in their early days, and I always looked forward to their releases because I liked their songs... What's this about Thailand?

-Even if they send a few members for promotion, why all four...?

-They were even selected for Music Bank's opening, and I thought they were doing well. Why send them to a Thai audition?

-K-pop is trending, and they're going for a Thai girl group...

-Do they not have money?

-What are they thinking?

-They could have auditioned in Korea, why go to Thailand? Do they not want to spend money?

It appears that RIIZE is making a comeback with a sampling track from the drama "Sassy Girl Chun-hyang," titled Emergency Room, not that they are remaking the song itself.

Rowoon, Controversial Combo from the Start of the Year

Actor Rowoon has been at the center of various controversies since the beginning of the year. Although Rowoon hosted the '2023 KBS Drama Awards' and received three awards, he became embroiled in controversies due to verbal mistakes and qualification issues.

On December 31st of the previous year, Rowoon hosted the '2023 KBS Drama Awards' held at the KBS New Building in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, alongside broadcaster Jang Sung-kyu and actress Seol In-ah.

On that day, due to nervousness, Rowoon was seen reading the prompter in a robotic manner without showing any laughter or reactions. Jang Sung-kyu, who was co-hosting, also seemed uncomfortable.

Jang Sung-kyu jokingly remarked, "Can I borrow your soul?" pointing out Rowoon's awkwardness. Unlike the other two MCs who had familiarized themselves with the script in advance and hosted naturally, Rowoon seemed to be solely focused on the prompter.

Despite having appeared as an MC about ten times since his debut and even appearing as a fixed MC on recent audition programs, it was hard to find his skills or efforts.

Moreover, on that day, Rowoon won the Best Actor Award, surpassing Jang Dong-yoon who won an Excellence Award for 'Oasis.' 'Oasis' had recorded a high viewer rating of 9.7%, making it the top-rated KBS mini-series.

However, controversies arose over Rowoon winning the award for Best Actor despite his relatively lower profile and popularity as an MC compared to Jang Dong-yoon.

Another issue was Rowoon's acceptance speech. After saying, "As someone who loves acting and wants to do well, I will continue to work hard," he added, "Please watch over me with blurry eyes."

The phrase "watch over with blurry eyes" typically implies knowingly ignoring something wrong and pretending not to know. While only Rowoon knows his true intentions behind the statement, it can be interpreted as him asking for understanding regarding his limited acting skills.

Rowoon has damaged his own image. The goodwill he had built through his activities with SF9 and various acting roles quickly eroded.

-There's a difference between being incapable and showing no effort. Koreans really hate it when people don't show effort. If he's not feeling well, he should take a break. Why try to do everything?

-"Blurry eyes"? Even on a rewatch, the acceptance speech was so awkward. I wish they hadn't chosen him as an MC; it was so uncomfortable to watch.

-He deserves criticism. If he messed up the hosting that badly, he deserves to be criticized.

-Forget about other things, but don't make him an MC again. It seemed like he was forced into doing it. It looked like he was dragged there against his will. He didn't leave his group on good terms, and now he's added this image to himself.

-Those calling everything a controversy must not have watched the awards. His attitude was really off. I hope he realizes after reading this article.

-"Watch over with blurry eyes" LOL Seriously, this is hilarious. Crazy.

-Who uses "blurry eyes" in a positive context?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Also, he's bad at MCing... (I watched the year-end KBS show or some Music Bank Global Festival, and his style was so different from other MCs that I thought he was deliberately acting poorly with a concept.)

-Even if he meant it as a plea due to a misunderstanding of the meaning, it's still not good. He's getting paid to work. If he's lacking in some areas, he should make up for it with effort. What's with hoping for leniency? If it was just his solo album, he would be the only one affected, but among dozens of other actors, it's embarrassing to act poorly. With that attitude, he'll never improve.

-Is he going through a tough time lately? He should reduce his workload. MCing like that is just damaging his reputation.

-He really can't host. I don't know if he's good at acting, but he just can't host, they had to cut and restart multiple times.

Singers and actors Lee Seung-gi, BamBam from GOT7, Youngjae, and Tiffany from Girls' Generation will host as MCs, and actors Lee Joon-gi and Park Shin-hye are scheduled to be presenters. It is planned to be broadcasted on KBSN in January.

The recording broadcast is scheduled for KBS N (KBS Cable Channel Operating Company) sometime in January.

Today, the Seoul Music Awards broadcast is not listed on any KBS channel schedules.

(Scheduled for 5:30 PM Korean time)

The main event will only have a paid broadcast in Japan (Recorded broadcast in Korea in January?) 

It's scheduled to be live-streamed only on Japanese channels FOD and Amazon Prime.

It's said that only paid members can watch...

+) Only the Red Carpet will be free live-streamed.

For reference, last year's Seoul Music Awards were held domestically, and KBS Joy broadcasted the entire event live...

theqoo

-What?

-What the hell?ㅋㅋ just remove 'Seoul'.

-Is this even a Korean award show?

-Should we just consider it a nonexistent award show from now on?

-For a Korean music award show, Korean fans can't watch it?ㅋㅋㅋ

-It's the Seoul Music Awards, why can't we watch it in Korea?

-What a mess...

-They're Korean artists, why can't we watch them in Korea? This is comedy.

-They're not even hosting it in Seoul, not broadcasting it either. What's the point of its existence? Who is this award show for? It's such a poor excuse for an authoritative award show. Please remove 'Seoul'.

-Why Thailand?

-Holding a Korean award show in Thailand and only broadcasting in Japan... Confusing, so confusing.

-I don't care; I wasn't going to watch it anyway...

-They go all the way to Thailand with the name Seoul, but only Japanese people can watch the live broadcast? Everything is surprising.

-It wouldn't be surprising if it shut down in a few years.

-It's just a paid concert with the name of an award show.

-A disgraceㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It's like the Thailand Music Awards.

-Why can't we watch our country's award show in Korea?......................

An employee from SM Entertainment's team commented on the post of the trainee that went viral.

Today, the newly revealed SM trainee born in 2005, Sujin.


Who is that? I don't know... it's the first time I've seen her.

theqoo
-? Where did it come from?ㅋㅋ

-Wasn't the challenge posted on the official account?

-There's no trainee from SM who revealed their face (Haeun is a separate issue). But there was a cake photo of the female trainees uploaded by SM before, and one of the cakes in the photo was held by that person, so they said it's an SM trainee.

-But seriously, who is she? An entertainer?

-Those who said it went viral, where did they go?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I just checked that account, but that comment isn't there?? Did they delete it?

-How did you know it's an account of SM Entertainment's employee?

-It didn't seem like accurate information.

Former April member Lee Naeun denies dating rumors with soccer player Lee Kang-in, says they are 'just acquaintances'

 

Actress Lee Naeun, formerly of the group April, has denied rumors of being in a relationship with soccer player Lee Kang-in.

An official from Lee Naeun's agency, Namoo Actors, stated to Newsen on January 2nd, "Lee Naeun and Lee Kang-in are merely acquaintances and not in a romantic relationship."

theqoo

-Smart... Based on the reactions now, denying it is better for both sides...

-Acquaintances, haha, if they're acquaintances, they're acquaintances, okay.

-They spent time together at home, but they're just acquaintances?ㅋㅋ

-They must be close enough to exchange tickets.

-Everyone seems to be saying that.

-They're close enough to come and go from each other's homes? Okay.

-It's hard to believe they're just acquaintances if they've met alone at home several timesㅋㅋ

-So they're acquaintances, but they left the woman's house at 7 in the morning?

-Do they think people are fools?ㅋㅋ

-They met alone at home several times, but anyway, they're just acquaintancesㅋㅋ

-Shouldn't this have come out on January 1st? Why is it coming out today???

-Seeing them deny it now makes me think it might not be the case. Why bring up something from November in January?

-Why are people so angry about someone else's relationship?

-Who would believe that?
