Looks like Yoon Jongwoo made it to the final (His older sister's IG story)


Watching my brother's show since I couldn't see him on weekdays because he's too busy🤍
It's really nice to see you enjoying your performance!
No matter what people say, in my eyes, you are the coolest. I'm really proud of you.
Do it in your own way!!

[+262][-15]

1. [+336][-3] Are you joking me?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ There was a trainee in Produce 101 who had to change his song as the penalty of the spoiler. At this point, he should be getting a penalty or leaving the show, no??

2. [+267][-2] They're not allowed to give out spoilers, right????

3. [+242][-2] This violation could lead to him getting kicked out from the show, no?? It's funny how his sister posted that so confidentlyㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+211][-3] They're not supposed to give out spoilers, though. How could she post that with full confidence?

5. [+168][-0] Besides that story, she also posted this. What a sight. 'Please stay with Jongwoo until the very end'??? This is obviously a spoiler. He needs to leave the show.
'He told me that he wants to live his life in a cool way, just like his Noona. In Noona's eyes, you are already cool enough🤍✨ Thank you for always making me your role model. I will work even harder so that you can be even prouder of me❤️🦾 #LetsLiveCoolly #YoonSiblings. And no matter what people say, you are always No. 1 for me🥇. Thank you to all the precious fans who always support and care about my brother. I think Jongwoo is doing well..! (🙏🙏). Please stay with Jongwoo until the very end🥺'

6. [+141][-0] There's a foreign trainee who can't go back to his own country and hides in the dorm because he gave out spoilers, though?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

EXO held an emergency meeting after seeing public's reaction to their Love Me Right performance

 

They know that their fans love it

 

Kai: People say that everyone is covering Love Me Right~ except EXO...

Baekhyun: People are asking us to come back with Love Me Right again


EXO said that after seeing the reactions they received for their Love Me Right performance yesterday, they held an emergency meeting to discuss whether they should come back with Love Me Right again. Crazy.

 

SH: After performing Love Me Right yesterday, we held an emergency meeting to discuss whether we should release Love Me Right again. Or maybe another come back with cheerful concept?

The reason why fans are hoping they would come back with Love Me Right again 

= 4K Individual Fan Cams, Face Cams, Meltin' Fan Cams, Relay Dance, 4K Full Cam, and 8K Fan Cams didn't exist (They didn't exist 8 years ago🥲)


Let's make 're-comeback' culture exists...


((This is a humor post, but I'm serious about it ^^...))


-I'm not a fan but I would f*cking love it if they do...

-Can't they just 're-comeback' with Love Me Right??? I'm not a fan, but I would be really happy if they do...

-If they had 4K Individual fan cams of this song, I would watch Kai's fan cams until all the rivers in this world dry up...

-Why can't they 're-comeback'??? Do it!!!

-I'm not a fan but I'm waiting for that 're-comeback'... I want to see their fan cams in high quality...

-I'm waiting for your 're-comeback'ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-I'm not even an idol fan, but I'm supporting the idea of EXO's 're-comeback' with Love Me Rightㅠㅠㅠ

-I'm not a fan, but I'll pretend like it's your first time releasing Love Me Right. So do it now, 're-comeback'!

-Let's make 're-comeback' culture existㅠㅠ

-What is going on? Is that a spoiler for EXO's upcoming song?? I love it... Please come back soon...

-What is Love Me Right? Is that EXO's new song? From what I could recall, EXO didn't have any comebacks in June 2015.

The era of low birth rate... 'There are no kids to become K-pop idols now'

 

The labor shortage in various industries is worsening due to the low birthrate, the same also goes for the K-pop industry. Bang Si-Hyuk, the CEO of HYBE who raised BTS, reportedly expressed his serious concerns about the declining birth rate. 

According to the statistic in February, the total fertility rate was 0.78. That is 0.03 less than the previous year and also the lowest number since 1970. The number of births has decreased by 11,500 from the previous year which reached 249,000.

The low birth rate era began in 2011 and the entertainment industry has already been affected by the declining population of young people in their 10s and 20s, the age group of people who should be debuting as K-pop idols, and also the target audience of K-pop. As a result, entertainment companies have been struggling to recruit trainees. This shortage has been a problem for several years and is becoming increasingly serious as the birth rate continues to decline.

Representatives from entertainment companies stated that they have been experiencing difficulties in casting trainees for a few years now. A said, "Even if we go to schools, we can see that the number of students is decreasing rapidly. Another representative, B, shared that it is difficult to recruit trainees, especially male ones. As a result, the K-pop industry has no choice but to turn to overseas recruitment to fill the gap. The industry is now casting its net wider as they start recruiting foreigners to become trainees.

A stated, "Countries like the US, Japan, and Thailand have already been scoured by large K-pop companies. There are hardly any small companies that don't recruit foreign trainees. To find K-pop talent, we have started to look at more diverse countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia that we haven't explored before."

-They can easily solve this problem by recruiting trainees from foreign countrees

-Is that the biggest problem you're concerned about right now?

-There's nothing we can do anyway

-That also means there would be fewer K-pop fans anyway...

-Is K-pop the only problem in this situation?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-87,000 people auditioned for My Teenage Girl and only 1,000 people auditioned for Fantasy Boys. That was really shocking to me. I think Mnet is the only one who can hold male idol survival shows now.

-That's funny because Bang Si-Hyuk doesn't even have children himself. Tell him to have one first before he starts talking.

-It's either K-pop will disappear or it will be taken over by foreigners

-This article is coming from the country that produces Peak Time, Fantasy Boys, Boys Planet, etc...?

-What??ㅋㅋㅋ So you're expecting us to have kids so that they can be K-pop idols??ㅋㅋㅋ

-Are you telling us to increase the birth rate just for K-pop?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What about the sports industry?

The responsible producer who manipulated votes in 'Idol School' comes back to Mnet

 

It has been confirmed that Kim Tae-eun, the responsible producer (CP) who was sentenced to one year in prison for manipulating the voting rankings of Mnet's 'Idol School', is still employed at Mnet.

According to our investigation, Mnet rehired Kim Tae-eun after she was released from prison back in February 2022. This truth has once again disappointed viewers who expected Mnet to dismiss her from the company.

CP Kim Tae-eun was indicted without detention in July 2020 on charges of manipulating the voting rankings of all episodes of 'Idol School'. At the time, she denied all allegations, but as the investigation expanded and evidence was revealed, she eventually admitted to the charges. She was then put into custody in June of the following year and served 8 months in prison before being released. When asked about the reason for manipulating the voting rankings, Kim Tae-eun answered that it was due to Mnet's pressure to boost the program's viewer ratings. 

theqoo

-Why are you blurring out her face...

-I knew this would happen...

-Not surprised...

-Do you really think she's the only one involved in the manipulations?

-'Idol School' was so much worse than 'Produce 101'...

-This company is full of manipulations...

-Look at Mnet hiring back people who manipulated votes in their shows... That's very amazing of them...

-Mnet and her are together in this, of course they wouldn't fire her. They're only saying it, but they wouldn't be actually firing her.

-Looks like they don't even try to hide it from the public anymore now...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I expected to see this coming, but this still rages me outㅋㅋㅋ I really want to set Mnet on fireㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-'Just serve in prison for a year. Don't worry, I'll take care of your family'ㅎㅎㅎ

-This proves that Mnet is also behind all of the manipulationsㅋㅋ

-I'm so sick of this...

FIFTY FIFTY enters New York Times Square through the support from Youtube headquarters




FIFTY FIFTY's company stated, "FIFTY FIFTY's advertisement video is being displayed for 12 minutes at two different locations in New York Times Square. We are aware that it is not common for Youtube to support advertisements like this."

theqoo

-They're truly the miracle of small companies...

-That is amazing... I can't believe Youtube headquarters are supporting FIFTY FIFTY too... The universe is helping them to hit big...

-This is why Tik Tok is really important these days. I didn't understand it at first, but now I do.

-Wow... That's really amazing and fascinating...

-Cupid is a really great song. I've been listening to it on repeat lately.

-Looks like these girls are really from a small company. It's been awhile since their song hit big and yet I still haven't seen them on TV shows.

-Everyone is supporting them because their song is that greatㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa... That is amazing. Miracles do happen. 

-I really love their song!!! They also seem to be really talented as well. Good luck!!!

1. [+134][-4] Whoa, it looks like Jang Wonyoung's hate posts are no longer about insecurity now, it has become a form of art at this pointㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is such an incredible sight. I wonder how worse it's going to get from this point now? It's kinda fun to see. What's next? You're gonna post something like 'Have you seen someone breathing this way? She pretends to be pretty as she breathesㅜㅜ'. That kind of bullshit?

2. [+121][-4] What...? I eat like that too, though...

3. [+116][-4] You better be eating chicken drumsticks with your dirty hands then, got it?

4. [+113][-4] What...? Isn't that how people eat when they don't want to get their hands dirty?
