The company that makes the best lightsticks among other major entertainment companies

JYP 

DAY6's MyDay watch

It can be worn on the wrist just like a watch.

It perfectly captures the unique characteristics of the band's fan club.

It can be customized with official characters.

TWICE's Candy Bong Ver 1 and Ver 3

TWICE's fandom name is Once, but the Korean fans are called Candy and the international fans are Jelly. It looks like the design was inspired by that.

Just like the name, the lightstick resembles a candy shape.

Stray Kids' Nachimbong

The group's name means 'lost kids', so it has a compass emblem.

The intense red color aligns well with the group's name and color. 

ITZY's light ring

It can be worn on the arms and said to have a really strong brightness

It also can be customized

NMIXX's Mixx Stick

I don't know much, but the whale is the symbol of NMIXX's fans in their universe.

It always gets mentioned when people are discussing pretty lightsticks.

Xdinary Heroes' Yeonjang (NB: It means tool)

It reflects their identity as a rock band. It has a simple yet bold design that matches the group's color.

The front and back have different designs.

Im Jiyeon and Lee Jungjae to Star in New Romantic Comedy by ‘Doctor Cha’ Writer

 

Maeil Business Newspaper | Journalist Han Hyunjung

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/009/0005399922

According to Star Today’s exclusive report on the 20th, Im Jiyeon has been cast as the female lead in 'Mean Love,' which also marks Lee Jungjae’s return to drama after 15 years.

'Mean Love' is a romance between an actor, who aspired to become a master of melodrama but often gets cast for detective roles, and a former political journalist, who won 'Journalist of the Year' award but got demoted to the entertainment department. This project brings together writer Jung Yeorang, previously known for her mega-hit drama 'Doctor Cha', and director Kim Garam, previously known for blockbuster 'Good Partner', with Studio New in charge of production.

Im Jiyeon will play the role of Wi Jungsook, an entertainment journalist. Wi Jungsook was actually a political journalist for 8 years who had been on a winning streak and even won the 'Journalist of the Year award.' However, Wi Jungsook gets demoted to the entertainment department after investigating a corruption case. After meeting star Im Hyunjoon, she finds herself turning into a 'fangirl,' where her world, which previously was all about news, becomes a thorny path of her own making. This role is expected to shine with Im Jiyeon's signature detailed and naturalistic acting.

In particular, world star Lee Jungjae has been confirmed to play the role of Im Hyunjoon. This marks his return to romantic comedy after 15 years since 'Triple' in 2009, Lee Jungjae’s involvement has already garnered significant attention from both the industry and the public.

theqoo

-Are you kidding me?

-He could be her dad.

-Can't they cast someone more realistic for the male lead...? Lee Jungjae is cool, but he doesn't suit to be Im Jiyeon's romantic partner.

-18-year age gap? It's not even uncle-niece kind of age gap, it's practically father-daughter kind of age gap.

-Are there really no other actors available?ㅋ

-The age gap is too bigㅜㅜ

-That's gross.

-Seems like they've lost their mindsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I mean... I like Lee Jungjae, but this is bafflingㅠ Why?

-Replace one of them... They don't suit each other;;; Well, their ages don't look good together.

-A rom-com...? And the romantic partner is Im Jiyeon...? What's with the age gap?

-The character's name is Jungsook again????

-18-year age gap and a romance...?;;;

-Please change one of them...ㅠ

-Rom-com...?? The age gap is too creepy.

-He's way too old for this.

-Isn’t she like... his daughter?

-They're from the same agency...

-Im Jiyeon is dating Lee Dohyun in real life and then there's this...?

What do you think NewJeans' new name could be?

 If they leave their agency and change their name.

But honestly, the name NewJeans really suits them perfectly, so it would be really disappointing if they changed it.

pann
[+151][-67]

1. [+277][-229] Minhee-Jeans

2. [+164][-45] NewJeanz? The pronunciation is similar, and they just need to change the last letter.

3. [+124][-3] Whatever they change it to, I’m fine as long as they continue their activities... And the name NewJeans feels perfect now because we’ve gotten used to it. When they first announced the name, people were like, "What kind of name is ‘NewJeans’?” and thought it was weird ㅋㅋㅋㅋEven if they change it, we’ll probably get used to the new name and think it suits them eventually.

4. [+80][-3] Knowing Min Heejin's personality, she wouldn't go for something similar. She’d probably come up with something new as a sign of a fresh start.

5. [+38][-4] I feel like they’d come up with something completely unexpected.

6. [+36][-11] MiniJeans

7. [+26][-6] New T-Shirts

BABYMONSTER 1st WORLD TOUR IN SEOUL Venue and Ticket Price

 

KSPO DOME

All seats: 165,000 KRW (~120 USD)

theqoo

-Whoa... They're holding it in KSPO Dome. That's amazing.

-Whoa, do they have a lot of international fans? Starting with KSPO Dome for their first concert is so impressive.

-Can they really fill the KSPO Dome?... Girl groups usually find it hard to fill KSPO Dome, even if they're popular domestically.

-I’m not a fan, but I kind of want to go.

-These days, a lot of international fans come too. Why worry about that...? The price is more questionable than the venue.

-But do they have enough songs?

-They'll figure it out on their own. People who don't go are always the loudest ones.

-KSPO Dome already? That's so amazing.

-165,000 KRW for all seats. Are they for real?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Everyone's going to copy them and raise prices now... F*ck.

-Even if they can't sell all seats, big venues are always better.

-Even BLACKPINK faced comments during their early years like, ‘They won’t fill the seats’ or ‘It’s just media play.’ But they pulled it off every time. The company probably researched it thoroughly.

-They’ll easily fill the seats, especially with overseas demand these days.

-Is YG out of their mind?

Ministry of Labor: "NewJeans' Hanni is not a worker" ... Workplace harassment case closed

Yonhap News | Journalist Kim Eunkyung

https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/001/0015056551?sid=102

Regarding allegations that NewJeans' member, Hanni, was "ostracized" within HYBE, the Ministry of Employment and Labor concluded, "She does not qualify as a worker under the Labor Standards Act," therefore workplace harassment regulations do not apply.

On the 20th, regarding the complaint filed by NewJeans' fans for allegations of workplace against NewJeans' member Hanni Pham the Seoul Western District Employment and Labor Office under the Ministry of Employment and Labor stated, "We have closed the administration because she does not fall under the category of a worker as defined by the Labor Standards Act."

The Western District Office, which investigated the complaint, explained, "Given the content and nature of Hanni's management contract, it is difficult to classify her as a worker under the Labor Standards Act, which requires labor to be provided under a subordination relationship in exchange for wages."

The reasons cited include, "The relationship is limited to fulfilling obligations as equal contracting parties, making it difficult to view it as employer-supervisor authority."

Additionally, "The company’s employment rules, regulations, or systems applied to general employees are not applicable to her," "She does not have fixed working hours or workplace, and she does not adhere to set commuting hours," and "Costs required for entertainment activities are jointly shared by the company and Hanni" were also presented as reasons.

Furthermore, it was noted that "The payments received are in the nature of profit-sharing rather than compensation for labor itself," "Taxes are paid individually, and business income tax is charged instead of earned income tax," and "She appears to bear the risks of generating profits and incurring losses through entertainment activities."

The Western District Office also referenced a Supreme Court ruling from September 2019, which categorized exclusive contracts with entertainers as civil mandate contracts or unnamed contracts similar to mandates under civil law, making it difficult to classify her as a worker under the Labor Standards Act.

However, after Hanni appeared as a reference witness at the National Assembly Environment and Labor Committee audit and testified, both ruling and opposition parties voiced the need for legal measures to address the absence of 'worker status' protection for artists, raising interest in potential supplementary legislative measures.

theqoo

-Hanni, you worked hard. I'm cheering for you.

-That is right. Celebrities are not workers. Considering the nature of their work, I personally think they should be classified as independent businesses.

-I like NewJeans, but going to the National Assembly for something like this was pure comedy.

-It’s true under the Labor Standards Act that she’s not considered as a worker. But as stated in the article, there’s definitely room for improvement.

-That's true. She's not a worker.

-Hanni, you worked hard.

-Filing complaints over things like this seems strange.

-She is indeed not a worker. Regardless of the judgment, I don’t think this was a matter that should be brought to the National Assembly.

-Why file a complaint with the Ministry of Labor over something like this...? I bet they're going to file another complaint because Hanni is not classified as a worker.

-Totally understandable. 

-Does that mean celebrities can't be protected? Even if they had evidence?

-Fighting, NewJeans!

-I feel bad for Hanni... It must be tough for her to get involved in these adults' fight.

Do you actually pay attention to the singer's controversies when you listen to their songs?

 Honestly, unless they're a criminal, I just listen to songs I like without thinking about their controversies. I'm curious about the others.

instiz

-As long as they're not a criminal, I don't care and just listen to their songs.

-I don't listen to songs by singers who have controversies in the first place.

-If I actually like the song, I just listen to it.

-I listen to the group's songs, but I don't add their solo songs to my playlist.

-Nope, I don't listen to their songs.

-I still listen to the group's songs, but not their solo songs.

-I just listenㅋ

-I just listen... There are too many songs to skip just because of one member.

-As long as they're not a criminal, I think it's okay to listen to their songs.

-As long as it's not Seungri's solo songs or Jung Joonyoung's, I still listen...

-Yeah, I still listen to them. But if I suddenly remember about their controversies and get annoyed, I stop listening.

-I just stop listening to their songs if they're a criminal. Otherwise, I keep listening.

-First of all, I don't listen to songs by Seungri, Jung Joonyoung, or Yong Junhyung. I don't support songs by criminals.

-As long as they didn't engage in sexual crimes, I still listen.

Fans' outrage grows...

-But seriously, how can they not invite BoA for the 30th anniversary...

-They should just release the lineup already....

-She already had another schedule on the filming day.

-How could they not invite BoA when it's SM Ent.'s 30th Anniversary special episode...?

-Hul... This is too muchㅠㅠ Maybe they didn't inform her because she was too busy?

-Wendy had no idea either. It looks like only those who got invited knew about it.

-I mean... Does this make sense...? Of all people... BoA?

-To summarize, The Game Caterers filmed the SM Ent.'s 30th Anniversary special episode, but BoA didn’t even know about it?

-Hul... They didn't invite BoA?

Leeteuk discovered his old fan when he became an MC at RIIZE's showcase

Apparently, the fan was holding Wonbin's slogan. Ah, so sadㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ Leeteuk recognized her right away, but he pretended not to know until the end because he was afraid she wouldn't be able to enjoy the showcase if he recognized her.

-In which show did he mention this?
ㄴAround 16:20

-So sad... But still, that fan has pink blood...

-Wow... I bet he had so many mixed feelings...

-Huk... If he recognized her, that means she must've attended a lot of offline events

ㄴIn the video Leeteuk said that she has been supporting him since his debut and have always followed him.

-But these kinds of situations are pretty common... There are many cases where fans who switched fandoms get recognizedㅠ

-That's actually sad...ㅠㅠ

-Hul... It must've been a huge shock for himㅜ

-There's nothing we can do about it...

-Ah... If I were him, I wouldn't be able to hide my expressions... It's somehow so sadㅠ

-It's sad, but also funny... What are the chances of him spotting her in RIIZE's showcase...

-Maybe she's multi-fandomed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-If it was RIIZE's debut showcase, that Noona might be pink bloodㅠ I don't think he should be too disheartened...

-Maybe she just made room for another group in heart...!

-Maybe that fan's heart just got a bit more spacious...?
ㄴI agree. I also have many people living in my heartㅋㅋㅋ

-How many years has she been a pink blood..... SM Ent., you better treat fans well.
