"HYBE claimed they would apologize to each agency mentioned in the document, but there have been no actions taken. It looks like they're trying to let this brush it off as it is a difficult issue to confirm."

 The No. 1 Korean entertainment company in the domestic market, HYBE, has become an ugly duckling in the industry. K-pop fandoms and even other entertainment industry professionals have turned against them, but HYBE seems to be adopting a passive attitude, waiting for time to solve the problem rather than addressing it directly.

(Cont'd)

It's also clear that the agency officials mentioned in the document are uncomfortable with the issue. One official said, "It is beyond absurd and deeply disappointing to think that HYBE, the industry's number one company, created such a lowly document and shared it. Although HYBE said they would apologize to the agencies mentioned in the document, no action has been taken. It seems they are trying to brush it off because it's a difficult issue to confirm."

Another industry insider said, "The Kpop scene has been criticized for commercializing idols, and efforts made to create a better environment become meaningless after HYBE's document was released to the public. The fact that it was shared for a long time without internal criticism shows the values of HYBE."

They continued, "HYBE artists have significant influence, so there might still be demand for challenges or joint stages. However, if I think about how they will evaluate our artists to boost their own position, it's really chilling. There's already a growing sentiment in the industry that we should avoid contact with HYBE," adding, "I hope the entire Kpop scene is not devalued as a low-quality group or culture because of HYBE's document."

-?? Didn't they say they already apologized? These bastards always lie whenever they open their mouths.

-They really didn't apologize??

-These liars. Look at them pretending not to know and acting like that.

-I freaking hate HYBE.

-Look at HYBE and all their bullshit. We really need to boycott them for real.

-They probably just apologized to their own labels.

-They probably think they can just bury this quietlyㅋㅋ

-I knew this would happen.

-Trashy bastards. Let's not get involved with that company.

-I bet they're just waiting for the issue to calm down. This is exactly why more of their reports need to be leaked.

-Please avoid that company. Don't engage with them.

-I expected this to happen.

-If my faves do any challenges with HYBE's idols, I'll seriously send a protest truck.

-I'm not even f*cking surprised.

-What the heck?? They said they apologized right away after the articles came out.

-Just apologize, won't you? Crazy bastards.

-What, they still haven’t apologized??

Actor Im Kihong receives hand-me-down clothes worn by Song Ilgook’s triplets from 1-2 years ago.jpg

 

The white ones are gifts from friends. The red ones are thrifted.

Q: You receive a lot of clothes as gifts?

A: I never asked for clothes, but people just keep giving them to me.

What happened an hour ago

Song Ilgook came by to give clothes to Im Kihong

He stopped by while on his way to a musical performance

He brought a bunch of things

While organizing my triplets' clothes, I thought of you

Turns out, he's receiving hand-me-down clothes from the triplets

The triplets are already almost 180 cm tall

I'm sorry, but if they're 180cm, those might be too big for you, Hyung.

Receiving hand-me-down clothes from the triplets from 1-2 years ago

Next time, I'll come watch your performance, so please introduce me to Song Ilgook hyung.

The three ‘bosses’ (?) are all doing the V sign.

I will introduce you to him one day

The clothes he received from the young masters (?) today

Since they’re triplets, there’s three times as much.

theqoo

-Wow, the triplets have really grown tall.

-The triplets must wear nice clothesㅋㅋ I wish I could receive some tooㅋㅋ

-I’m jealousㅜ

-The term ‘receiving hand-me-downs’ is hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-When kids are growing, they really grow so fast like bean sproutsㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The triplets are already 180cm tall?

-Since there are three of the same item, they practically can hand down clothes to three peopleㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I thought he was receiving them for his kids, but he’s going to wear them himself?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This is really greatㅋㅋㅋㅋ Plus, there are three of each, so he can share among three people.

-They must be all nice clothes. I’m jealous.

-I thought he was receiving the triplets' clothes for his kids, but it's actually for himselfㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Looks like the triplets grew so tall already. They must be wearing adult-sized clothes now.

Some foreigners appear to not understand Jennie’s wedding guest look

 

I feel like if Koreans saw our weddings, they’d think the person had died.

(NB: If someone understands Arabic, please correct this translation☹️)

It seems they don’t understand the culture of dressing casually in black out of respect for the bride.

theqoo

-So what? Are we supposed to wear a dress to somebody else's wedding?;;;

-We're dressing appropriately according to the wedding culture in our own country. Why are they making a fuss?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ We don't understand why people abroad dress so extravagantly for wedding ceremonies either, but we don't careㅋㅋㅋ Do they lack the intelligence to understand different cultures?

-In our country, if you dress too extravagantly at a wedding ceremony, you will be hated for life or people will cut you off.

-Respect other country's cultures, won't you? It's not like this is some absurd tradition or something like that. Just because they don't understand our culture, it doesn't mean that they have to make a fuss about itㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Just try to understand other country's cultures~

-But seriously, though... Wearing all-black to a wedding looks really dull. It almost looks like a funeral. Wear something brighter.

-But the photos indeed don't look great if too many guests wear black...

-But I personally don't like wearing black to weddings, tooㅠㅠ Isn't the rule here just to avoid white? It feels so dark to see people wearing black to a weddingㅠㅠ Weddings should be bright and cheerful. But I don't like foreigners judging our culture;

-It's not that bad normally. People wear various colors, we just avoid white.

-Well, these days people really do wear a lot of black.

-Well, it's better to wear colorful outfits, thoughㅠㅠ

-We're just wearing what we already ownㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

A program set to follow up Eunchae's Star Diary on KBS Music Bank

 

ILLIT Minju's Pink Cabinet

The first episode is airing today. The first guest is said to be ATEEZ's Yunho. 

theqoo

-My fave is the first guest and I'm only finding out about it through Theqoo haha;;

-I hope my fave doesn't guest on this show.

-Just do it with idols from your own company.

-I'm 100% sure my fave will guest on this show in their next comebackㅋㅋㅋㅋ I hate it

-What’s the criteria for selecting Music Bank MCs anyway? Now I’m curious.

-If your idols perform on Music Bank, they'll practically be dragged to guest on this show too.

-What kind of program is this?

-Why don't they just stick to their own idols? They have a lot of idols already anyway...

-They must be really busy writing reportsㅋㅋ

-I can't believe they're still pushing forward with this kind of program amidst all these controversies... What deal do KBS and HYBE have...? Not to mention MCs are idols from HYBE back-to-back.

-HYBE is at it again...

-I was so glad Star Diary ended, but now they're doing a program with another HYBE idol...? I hope my faves won't guest on this show.

-They should apologize.

-Are they seriously doing another show with HYBE idols??

-Just make it a HYBE-only show.
