KATSEYE faces backlash overseas for sexualizing a minor

 Yoonchae, the Korean member, was born in 2007.

This video is under fire because not only the minor member Yoonchae, but nearly half of KATSEYE members are under 20, and yet their choreography and outfits are overly sexual. 

Their international ages

-Hul, I thought they were all adults. Is HYBE crazy?

-Isn't Yoonchae still in high school...?

-Their outfits were really short… at least Yoonchae’s seemed a bit more covered than the others. Maybe it's because the U.S. is their main market?

-It's HYBE. I'm not even surprised.

-Aren't foreign countries actually more sensitive about things like this than South Korea?

-The outfits were always revealing, but I thought international fans didn't care.. I guess this issue is just breaking late.

-It was a bit much from the beginning... But everyone seemed to like it and kept calling them 'hot girls,' which honestly, I found strange. Apparently, exposing your skin makes you a hot girl.

-I knew this would come up someday...

-Wasn't this the group that had moaning sounds in their song too?

-If you look at Yoonchae's personal fashion taste, you'll notice that she doesn't seem like the type to prefer revealing clothes. That's why this bothers me even more.

-Wait, there's another underage member?? I heard people saying that Yoonchae's covered up a bit more than the other members because she's underage... Does the other underage member not need covering? Even if they're a global group, can't they wait until they're all adults to do such concepts?

-Their ages are even more shocking to me. The other members besides Yoonchae are young too.

-Hul, even just watching that video, half of their butts are showing.

-If there are minors in the group, be more careful with the concept. What is that?

HYBE girl group KATSEYE's fans urge support for 'RIIZE IS SEVEN' at MAMA in the U.S

 https://x.com/NewsKatseye/status/1859352891581980978?t=P9zz9wqzQ4w45_4DibDmUg&s=19

This post is not directly related to KATSEYE, but we encourage all EYEKONS, especially those attending the event, to read the following statement!

Many of you are likely aware of the ongoing situation involving RIIZE, Seunghan, and their label, SM.

RIIZE is set to perform as a six-member group at the upcoming MAMA LA event after the unfair exclusion of Seunghan, the seventh member, from the group.

Even though we are not fans of RIIZE, we strongly oppose bullying and the mistreatment of artists by labels.

Although this may not directly involve KATSEYE, OT7 BRIIZE (RIIZE's fans) will host a fan project as one of the last chances for international fans to make their voices heard. Fans will distribute orange ribbons, banners, and QR codes outside the venue.

The QR codes will provide guides on when and what to chant to express disapproval of SM's decision to remove Seunghan, sending a clear message that international fans do not support this move.

Participation is entirely optional, but we encourage those attending to show solidarity and stand against bullying and unfair management practices. You don't need to spend all day on this.

Additional information and ways to participate, even for those not attending, are linked in the comments.

The fandom of a HYBE artist who has no connection to RIIZE even created a detailed guide. They plan to distribute QR codes for the guides that include detailed information even down to exact timings for chants.

On top of that, another KATSEYE's fan told this fanbase to not meddle in issues of idols from other companies, but this fanbase blocked that fan instead. 

theqoo

-Why are they doing this? Is everyone relate to HYBE crazy?

- Are these people out of their minds? Seriously, are they sane??? Leave RIIZE alone, won't you!

-Are you sure that's really KATSEYE's fans...?ㅋㅋ

-I meanㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ SM Ent. is going to debut him as a solo singer. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋWhat's their goal? Why is another fandom causing a fuss about him leaving his group? HYBE's idol fans should just focus on their idolsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-HYBE again.

-Don't call them 'international fans'ㅋㅋ Most of them are HYBE stans anywayㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ At first, a lot Kpop stans paid attention to this issue but now most of them have stopped and no longer interested. The ones still doing this are all HYBE stans.

-Why are HYBE stans being so loud here?

-They're fans of another group, so why...? I don't get it, just why...?ㅋㅋㅋ Wouldn't this just tarnish their idol's name? Do they think RIIZE has no international fans?

-Why are HYBE fans so obsessed with SM?

-I wonder how much are they getting paid for doing this.

-You dumbasses... It's HYBE that you should be protesting, not SM! Tell them to stop bothering NewJeans.

-Leave SM alone.

 HYBE's chairman Bang Sihyuk draws attention for his noticeably different appearance.

On the 2nd, Bang Sihyuk shared a photo on his personal account with the members of HYBE Labels' group, KATSEYE, congratulating them on their first Asian promotion.

What really caught people's attention was Bang Sihyuk's appearance in the photo. He is seen smiling brightly as he poses the point choreography of 'Touch' alongside KATSEYE's members.

Both international and Korean netizens commented on his healthier-looking appearance, saying, "Tell us your diet secret," "Appa Gom (NB: Papa Bear) must be tired of hearing people calling him fat all the time," and "Bang PD looks good. Stay strong."

theqoo

-I don't want to say anything negative about someone's body, so stop writing articles like this.

-Didn't ask, don't care.

-Appa Gomㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He's not that slim yet. He should lose more weight.

-Seriously, stop with this bullshit.

-Why are they doing this media play? What’s the point?

-Are they doing this to make money from suing haters?

-Seriously, stop thisㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Do I not understand the meaning of 'slim'?

-I'm not curious about this....

-Is this even considered news?

-Appa Gom? Ew, I'm gonna throw up.

-I really don't want to see articles like this anymore.

-Seems like it’s a complex for him. He’s going so f*cking far this media play.

-Even if he loses weight, he'll just become 'Slim Bang Sihyuk'ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It smells like rotten meat here.

theqoo

-Why is the song so short? It’s good, though.

-The song and concept are unique and nice.

-What's up with the music video quality and choreography?

-The music video looks cost-effective.

-The song is really short.

-The song feels pretty standard, but the first member to appear is incredibly charming.

-For HYBE, why does it look so low-budget?

-The song is good, but please do something about the styling.

-Oh, the song is good.

-Oh, it's better than I expected, but the song is short.

-The song is well-made.

-The song is good, but the quality of the music video, seriously? Was this the best they could do?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The song is great, but why is the music video like that?

-Why does the song sound so familiar?

-Too short.

-It's alright.

-The full version of the song is good, but I wish they put more effort into the music video.

-Why is the song so good? I didn't expect this, but I keep listening to it.

HYBE's girlgroup retweeted RIIZE's tweet by mistake

 

It's the official account of HYBE's American girl group

It has been taken down now

theqoo

-Do they want to step on RIIZE's Fanlight or what?

-Looks like the one who handles the official account is a fan of RIIZE, they should consider changing jobs.

-Are they RIIZE's fans or is it just a noise marketing?

-Is the manager a RIIZE's fan, huh?ㅋ ㅠㅠ

-If this happened another time, people would've just assumed that their manager must be a fan of RIIZE. Out of all times, why did it have to happen now...?

-Well, it just seems like the account manager is a fan.

-It must be a pure mistakeㅋㅋㅋㅋ Let's just turn a blind eye to this

-HYBE really loves SM, doesn't they?

-Get over SM, won't you?

-I think this is just their attempt to get some publicity... Noise marketing...

-They somehow always get involved with SM Ent. Even in their mistakes...

-This is kinda funny, thoughㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This year is so full of HYBE's embarrassment...

-Out of all other artists, why did it have to be SM Ent.'s artist?

-'Can you step on RIIZE?'

-They really can't get over SM Entㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
