The design of IZNA's debut album receives attention for looking similar to this

 

theqoo

-They're just doing this to get their name out there. Look at how quickly they became the trending post after copying. But isn't it too much to copy NewJeans at this point?

-Save NewJeansㅠㅠㅠ Agencies, why are you doing this?

-HYBE has pretty much ruined the entire entertainment industry.

-It's way too similar...

-I think it's just a common design, though?

-As soon as I saw the first picture, I thought of NewJeans. They f*cking straight-up copied it.

-They don't care about the backlash. They're just doing noise marketing to get the group's name out thereㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's disgusting to think that they're doing this despite knowing the group's situation.

-NewJeans has turned into the standard for girl groups now, huh?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Everyone's copying themㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Now that NewJeans has become a free source, let them free.

-If someone didn't know, they'd think it's the same album.

-If this is noise marketing, we should respond by boycotting.

-This is so severeㅋㅋㅋㅋ This happened not only once. How many times should the girls put up with this?

-Save NewJeans.

-nugu?

-Whoa... They just copied and pasted the whole concept...

-Sigh... Leave NewJeans alone, seriously...

-I thought it was the same album.

A tweet about Korean men is gaining retweets overseas

 

An account with 86,000 followers posted a thread about it

That account is also posting other tweets about the gender ratio on Korean Tinder, etc

theqoo 

-Let it spread globally.

-It seems like Tinder in South Korea has already become a platform for LGBTQ people

-This country is known for oppressing women. The fact that they don't kill us is already a good thing.

-Let’s let people know more about Korean men.

-Korean men are jealous of women. They want to easily make money by selling their bodies. Korean men dream of being treated like a princess while engaging in prostitution.

-Is Tinder an application for gays?

-In foreign countries, women are recognized as the weaker gender. However, in South Korea, we're not even acknowledged at all.

-That’s why 4B is trending.

-Korean women are truly pitiful. Let's stay strong.

-Where did it all go wrong?ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-The men in our country are fighting to be princessesㅋㅋㅋ

-I didn't know there were so many gay men in South Korea!!

-Please let the people all over the world know about this🙏🙏

-They're truly the worst...

Even if all men and women aged 20-49 pair up, 11.2% of Korean men still wouldn't have partner

 Even if all single men and women between ages 20 and 49 were paired, one out of ten single men would still be unable to find a marriage partner. This is because the male population is larger than men due to the cultural preference for sons over daughters from the 1970s to the mid-2000s. This phenomenon is more pronounced in rural areas than in Seoul.

According to the June edition of 'Issue & Focus' published by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs on the 17th, the number of 'unmatched singles' in Korea stood at 1,226,823 as of 2020. This term refers to the remaining single men after hypothetically matching all unmarried men and women aged 20-49. The imbalance in male-to-female ratio which has persisted for decades resulted in more unmarried men than unmarried women. In 1995, the number of 'unmatched single' men was 102,887, which was only 0.9% of the total number of unmarried men aged 20 to 49 (1,140,708). However, by 2020, the number of 'unmatched single' men surpassed 1.2 million, while the total number of unmarried men decreased to 1,093,274, increasing the ratio of 'unmatched single' men to 11.2%.

In reality, both the number of unmarried men of childbearing age and the unmarried rate are higher than for women. In 2020, the gender ratio among those born in 1985, the age for first marriage, around 33.2 years, was 169.8. In other words, there were 169.8 men for every 100 women. This is significantly high, considering that the natural gender ratio is between 104-105. The unmarried rate for men born in 1985 (46.5%) was 1.6 times that of women (29.1%), similar to the birth ratio imbalance.

For those born in 1990, close to the average age for first marriage, the gender ratio is 144.6, with the population of unmarried men (260,903) being 80,479 higher compared to the population of unmarried women (181,154). Cho Sungho, a senior researcher at KIHASA, stated, "In 1990, the birth gender ratio for third-born children reached 193.7. This is the result of the selective gender preference of children. Even if the gender ratio is balanced, it is difficult to achieve complete matching due to individual preferences such as age, personality, and appearance. However, the significant gender imbalance makes an excess of male population in the marriage market inevitable for a while."

Article posted in 2012: 'In 10 years, time when women will be eager to marry will come'

The reason why this era has yet to arrive: 

Even if all unmarried men and women aged 20-49 are paired 1:1, over a million unmarried men remain unmatched.

theqoo

-There are so few women that even if every woman of every age re-marries, some men still wouldn't be able to marry.

-What can you do?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is the result of male-preference biasㅋㅋㅋ It's funny to see them complaining about women not wanting to marry or have children after they killed female babies in the past.

-If they can't find a partner, they can just live alone. I don't understand why they have to whine so much.

-Why are you matching up people as you please?

-If I were a man, I'd be studying feminism and working on my competitivenessㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Now is not the time to be a Donghyun (NB: This is equal to Karen, but for Korean men).

-Parents from previous generations were so sure their precious sons would marry and bring home daughter-in-laws who would have kids and handle the housework, so they aborted their babies if they found out it was a girlㅋㅋ

-Is it even possible to pair 1:1?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Maybe men with no partners can just marry each other. They'd get along really well.

-Let's promote same-sex marriage among men.

-That is what you call karma. Who told you to abort baby girls?

-Donghyuns wouldn't understand this article... There are just too many numbers in it.........

-We can just abandon monogamy and have one Nam-mi-sae (NB: Woman who is crazy for men) take care of ten men.

-There’ll be one more man left because I don't have the thoughts to get married~

-They're saying they'll just marry foreign women...

-What else can we do? Men should just have kids with each other!

-They were the ones who aborted baby girls because they preferred to have sons. Live with your sons forever.

-This is the result of national gendercide.

NewJeans' demands in their formal notice to ADOR revealed

 

Demands for correction of contract violations NewJeans requested to ADOR

A. We request ADOR, as NewJeans' management, take all necessary actions regarding HYBE's decision to 'Discard 'New' and start afresh.'

B. ADOR has yet to take any action regarding the manager from another label who told their artists to 'ignore' Hanni. This issue has been neglected so far.

C. We urge ADOR to take action against HYBE's PR (Jo XX, Head of PR) for belittling NewJeans' achievements.

D. Photos and videos from NewJeans' trainee period were released to the media without permission and have still not been deleted.

E. Resolve the situation where NewJeans' achievements were discredited through the 'push-out' strategy.

F. We request immediate resolution of the unnecessary dispute with Director Shin Wooseok of Dolphin Kidnappers and the removal of NewJeans' previous works.

theqoo

-The agency is basically not doing and neglecting things they're clearly supposed to doㅋㅋㅋ

-Seriously, can you believe this? NewJeans made so much money for them and in return, they're gossiping behind their backs, planning to abandon them, and discrediting their hard work. This is legendary. Whoa...

-Free NewJeans!

-Are these actually breaches of contract??

-Sigh...ㅠ This is seriously pissing me off... I can't imagine how upsetting it must be for NewJeansㅠㅠㅠ

-Fighting to NewJeans. HYBE is sickening.

-I've never seen an agency like this. NewJeans made good money for them and yet they still get treated like this...

-I'm rooting for NewJeans...

-Didn't they also leak the members' medical records somewhere?? That's definitely a failure to protect their own artists.

-Well done, girlsㅠㅠ Let's escape HYBE. Fighting.

-The girls are just asking for the basic things any agency should be doing...

-They're spitting facts. Fighting.

-This issue has been going on for so long, and they haven’t solved it. Clearly, they have no intention to.

-I just wish the girls would terminate their contracts and leave. HYBE is neglecting them and not giving them any support, there's no reason for them to stay with HYBE.

-NewJeans, stay strong!!!!!! Let's fight this.

-This is definitely a breach of contract. The agency is blatantly ignoring and neglecting their artists. What are they so confident for?

-Fighting... What kind of company is this?

-Looking at cases of exclusive contract cancellations, it seems that just the lack of trust alone can be grounds for termination. NewJeans has plenty of evidence. I hope they'll get the best result out of this.

'Korean men are not just in the top tier; they’re simply GOAT-level in the history of men worldwide'

 

Korean men are top-tier <--- This is not the case.

They're not just in the top tier, they're simply GOAT-level in the history of men worldwide.

I spent a year as an exchange student in the U.S. and I was so f*cking popular.

No matter whether they were white, Asian, or Hispanic, women treated me so f*cking well and I went on a lot of dates.

The power that Korean men hold is really strong...

I realized that the ones who most underestimate the value of Korean men are Koreans themselves.

Just 'Korean man'? Regardless of looks, just the presence and nationality already give (Korean men) a huge advantageㅋㅋㅋㅋ

While Korean men are enjoying global popularity

What are Korean women doing~~?

Global popularity? You're just a Kopino-creating machine
ㄴ(OP): Whatever. I'm currently creating white babiesㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴWhat's a Kopino?

That's an extraordinary way of being delusional

theqoo

-This is driving me insane... What's wrong with them?

-I wonder how handsome and fit he is. I hope the next time he posts something like this, he'll also attach a picture of himselfㅠㅠㅠ

-Dumbasses~~ In American society, it's this order: White men > Black men > White women > Black women > Asian women > Dogs > Asian menㅋ

-Is he out of his mind?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Does he even have a passport?

-Korean men... GOAT..... When they go abroad, they can’t say a word, mumble, and then return home because they couldn’t adjust.

-Global popularity?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I bet he doesn't even have a passport

-ㅋㅋㅋ In reality, foreign women would probably be disgusted just by having Korean men breathing next to them.

-This is kind of pitiful....

-It’s pitifulㅋㅋ Tell me in which area did you live when you were in the US?ㅋㅋㅋ Because it doesn’t sound like the area I was in.

-That's a mental illness at this point... He's lost touch with reality and can't escape from his own delusions.

-Is this why Korean men who go abroad end up with depression? The gap between delusions and reality must be too big. I see now.

-What a bullshitㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're an embarrassment wherever they go.

-What world are they living in? Let alone living abroad... Just go outside and touch some grass first.

-You guys are the ones who get treated worse than dogs. That is the reality.

-Okay, I get it. So please just go and live abroad~~

-Even white American guys are not as arrogant as that...

Haon announces new song featuring Aespa's Giselle


theqoo 

-SM Ent., get a clue

-Seriously... Are they joking?

-SM Ent., what are you even doing...

-Giselle deserves better... Are they crazy?

-Whoa... Honestly, I'm not that interested in either of them but Kim Haon?? This is ridiculous.

-Why does it have to be Kim Haon...? SM-ah, do some research before doing collaborations. Or is his remarks about feminist not a big deal to you?

-SM Ent. seriously has no clue, no sense, and no idea of what their fans want.

-SM Ent. is such a dumbass... Sigh.........

-Ah, please get a grip...

-Why on earth.....??

-Are you kidding me?? Of all the rappers out there, why him?

-SM Ent. is truly terrible at doing their job...

-SM Ent., are you really this stupid?

-He's that friend of Juice Seyeon and also that guy with the controversial remark about feminist.

-What the heck...

-Ah... Please don't let Giselle associate with people like himㅠ

-

A similar controversy also occurred with Kim Haon, who became a star after winning tvN 'High School Rapper 2.' In July, Ha Sunho, who appeared with Kim Haon on 'High School Rapper 2' revealed a message Kim Haon had sent him on his Instagram. The message contained Kim Haon's question to Ha Sunho: "Are you a feminist?" to which Ha Sunho replied, "What kind of answer do you want to hear?"

'Spotted at night clubs' -> 'Smoking in public' Choi Hyunwook faces new controversy ... Quickly deletes picture that involves an indecent exposure

 

Ten Asia | Journalist Lee Sojung

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/312/0000688975

Choi Hyunwook, who drew attention last year over being spotted at nightclub and smoking in public, is once again under fire.

On the 13th, Choi Hyunwook uploaded a photo on his Instagram story, tagging four accounts and showing a bear-shaped decorative object. The reflective surface of the object revealed what appeared to be Choi Hyunwook taking a photo of himself with his phone without wearing clothes. K-Netz who saw this pointed out that he didn't even seem to be wearing underwear and questioned, "Does he have no shame?"

Choi Hyunwook immediately deleted the picture after receiving the backlash. However, the controversy continues as the screenshots have already spread on social media. 

Choi Hyunwook, born in 2002, debuted in the web drama 'Real: Time: Love' in 2019 and gained significant recognition in 2022 with his role in the tvN drama '2521.' Though he seemed to be gaining popularity, he previously faced criticism after smoking in public and issued an apology through his agency. More recently, he appeared in NewJeans' "Ditto" music video.

theqoo

-I mean... Let this go. He deleted the picture already. It's really mean of the journalist to make an article about it and spread the picture.

-I don't f*cking know... What's more fascinating to me is how people even noticed that;;;

-Did they really need to write this article? It seems like something he’d just be embarrassed about and move on.

-It was just a mistake... Oh Gosh...

-Is this TenAsia again?? That's not even a big deal. He made a mistake and already deleted the picture anyway.

-Sigh... It was just a mistake. Forget it. Did they really need to publish an article about it?;;

-As long as he didn't do it in purpose, we should just pretend it didn't happen. You trash journalist.

-It seems like he was wearing underwear, though? Apparently, he also deleted the picture right away. Why would you write an article about it? Sigh.

-The journalist who turns this into an article must not be in her right mind.

-Why would you write an article about this? You're going overboard.

-This is so mean... He deleted the picture right away, but the journalist posted it in an article.

-It’s a mistake. How he dresses at home isn’t anybody’s business.

-You can barely see his reflection in the picture anyway. To think that people are trying to see something by zooming in is just so creepy. What did he do wrong to deserve this...

-It seems like the journalist just wanted to create controversy.

Dongduk Women's University claimed "No discussions about transforming into co-ed institution" ... Yet "DWU has been considering transforming into co-ed institution for 3 years"

 

Daily Chosun | Journalist Go Gijung

https://m.monthly.chosun.com/client/Mdaily/daily_view.asp?Idx=20754&Newsnumb=20241120754

Professor mentions the transition into a co-ed institution during class ... "The campus treated it as a 'confidential matter'"

◉ A student from DWU submitted a 15-minute long recording to Monthly Chosun

◉ The campus stated, "We have never discussed transitioning into a co-ed institution", but...

◉ Professor A: "The university started discussions about it 2-3 years ago. They recently began asking professors for opinions two months ago"

◉ "A public hearing with students is planned for December ... Transition into co-ed institution expected to begin in 2027"

DWU's student council explained that the students' distrust of the school began from their 'demands' not being properly reflected in the school's academic administration. They cited incidents such as the infamous 'Naked Man', when a service company employee who came to repair the campus facilities trespassed into the school area and took obscene pictures in 2018. Another incident they cited was a tragic accident last year where a student was hit and killed by the campus' garbage truck. Additionally, students claimed that in 2022, the university merged the German and French language departments unilaterally without communicating with the students.

The conflict reached its peak on November 7, when reports quickly spread about the university's 'transition into a co-ed institution' matter was raised in a campus meeting without students' consent. In response, students staged a protest in strong opposition to the transition, fueled by the anger that accumulated so far.

In their official statement, DWU labeled the students' protest as 'acts of violence' and stated that "There has been no discussion about transitioning into a co-ed institution." The university added, "We are aware of this issue. We are taking this matter seriously and will hold those responsible to account," and emphasized, "We strongly urge our students to be careful and to avoid being involved with external organizations that could be harmful."

They claimed "There has been no discussion"... Yet, the professors were already aware of the transition.

"No discussions" This is the reason why DWU refused to communicate with students. The university claims that there has been no discussion about transitioning into a co-ed institution.

However, according to a recording obtained exclusively by Monthly Chosun, the university had been planning the transition for 2-3 years. It was only two months ago the university began formally asking professors for their opinions as they proceeded to implement the plan.

⭐️In 2024, six male students were discreetly admitted into the new International Studies Korean Culture program (for international students)⭐️

theqoo

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋHow can they lie like that?

-They're scammers. How can they do not say anything to the students who pay tuition?

-Even lying has its limits.

-So disgusting.

-Seriously?? They're doing all this behind the students' backs?

-And yet they lied about having no discussions about transitions into a co-ed institution and even called the students' protest violent...

-So f*cking shady. Did they really try to let this pass without students' consents?

-What?ㅋㅋㅋ They did exactly the opposite of what they said in their statement^^

-This is chilling.

-I figured this would happen.

-How can the university scam their own students?

-So the university lied from the beginning.

-Are they scammers or what?

-Begins the transition in 2017???? 5 years are not that far off, though?????

-They're scammers... If they were so confident about it, why not tell the students upfront instead of doing things behind their backs?

-ㅋㅋ They're doing things as they please

-That is insane. The real owners of the university are the students.

-Liar... They didn't lie about just one or two things...
