SNSD's MV Director apologizes for plagiarism

Hello. This is the director of SNSD's Forever1 M/V, Shin Hui-won. 

First of all, I would like to apologize to SNSD's members and SM Entertainment for having troubled them with the set's design in Forever1 M/V.

I was involved in the planning, directing, and even in the smallest props on the set. I am very ashamed and apologetic for using the design with no permission. 

I searched logo designs for the parade set for the 15th anniversary and found a lot of references. After finding the image that I thought suited (the concept), I applied it to the set without checking the source. 

Today, I confirmed that the logo was used by Disney Japan for its 15th anniversary. I would like to apologize for not doing thorough research and confirming the set's design. 

I will make sure to do my research and check thoroughly through every aspect of my next project so that this would not happen again. 

Lastly, I would sincerely apologize once again to everyone who had been harmed because of my mistake, SNSD's members, SM Entertainment, and all of the fans who enjoyed watching the MV.

-Seriously... It's their precious 15th anniversary... It's upsetting

-Seems like he doesn't understand the meaning of reference... That's not a reference but plagiarism.

-Reference?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ There's 'Disney' written clearly on the logo. How could he not notice that in the first place?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This is pissing me off...

-Well, it's totally clear that they're plagiarising so they don't have any other option but to apologize...

-?? You're using a reference just as it is, without changing it at all?? Are you really a professional??? Even amateurs don't make mistakes like that...

-A professional using a reference just as it is...? For commercial use...?? Even I, who knows nothing about design, know that you shouldn't use the reference just as it is...

-What... Doesn't this mean that SM Ent is also a victim? Why is everyone blaming it on SM?

-How many times has SM plagiarised Disney...?

-I feel like he's only apologizing because it's DIsneyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I bet no one would've said a thing if he plagiarized a design from a small company. But Disney...?ㅋㅋㅋ

A fan in their 30s who go to idol's concert...

 What do you think?

I'm in my early to mid-30s. This is my first time liking idols since I was in primary school. 
I heard they're holding a concert, so I was wondering if I should go.
I feel like I should see them in person at least once before I die.

Do other fans gossip when they see fans in their 30s going to concerts? Do they say something like, 'Whoa... A 30-year-old going to a concert? What in the world...' ?
I have no idea about the atmosphere of idols' concerts. I'm worried it's filled only with young fans.
Anyway, what should I wear?

Ah, for your information I still haven't bought the ticket (There's still a possibility I won't go)
This is my first time writing a post here, please kindly remind me if I say anything wrong

-What... I'm in my 30s and I go to concerts...

-No one actually cares

-No, neverㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why does age matter? We're all fans!! No one cares, I'm telling you...

-My idols' fans are mostly in their mid-20s to 30s. It's okay.

-No one cares about it. Don't worry.

-I'm in my 30s and I go to concerts a lotㅋㅋ There are sometimes people who ask how old am I. But there's a lot of fans who are the same age as me. Don't worry!ㅋㅋㅋ

-There are a lot of fans in their 30sㅋㅋㅋㅋ Besides, why would we care about a stranger's age?

-Most of the fans who go to concerts are in their 20s or 30s...

-I saw a mother and her daughter at my idol's recent concert. It's okay!!

-Don't worry!! There are a lot of fans who are in their 30s...

-You're going to a concert with the money you earned. Why does age matter!! Have fun!!

-Don't worry about that and have fun at the concert!!

-I have a daughter and I still go to concerts!!

-We're the same age!! There's a lot of us so don't worry!

Is showing off underwear a fashion trend among K-Idols?

 

Fashion trends these days are really variative

instiz

-It's been quite a while, actually...

-I've seen a lot of male idols with this trend, but not with female idols. Is it a trend now?

-This reminds me of Justin Bieber's pants trend when I was in primary school. Is this the same thing?

-It's not only trending among idols. It's a fashion trend now!

-I've seen a lot of male idols with this fashion. I think it's just starting to become a trend among female idols after Miu Miu launched their low-rise collections.

-I'm really not curious about what kind of underwear you're wearingㅠㅠ Keep it inside your pants...

-I honestly do not like this fashion trend... It doesn't even look pretty at all...

-I don't know about female idols, but I've seen a lot of male idols with this fashion trend...

-Some of my friends have been dressing like this lately. I had no idea it was a fashion trend.

-I just don't see anything cute from this fashion trend. Do non-celebrities dress like this too nowadays?

-It only looks nice because they're idols. A shy non-celebrity like me can't even imagine going out dressed like this. 

  ㄴ*Whisper* Your underwear is showing...

SM under fire for plagiarizing Tokyo Disney for SNSD's 15th anniversary logo

 

This is Disney's 15th anniversary logo

This is the logo SNSD had on their set for their 15th anniversary

theqoo

-They're even using the same font for the number...

-SM-ah, why are you doing this to SNSD?

-It's not their first or second time doing this. What in the world is wrong with them?

-Do they seriously take us as fools?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Do they think we wouldn't notice this?

-They should've at least changed the font...

-The fact that they're plagiarizing Japan makes it more embarrassing...

-They're plagiarizing again...? SM always does that...

-It's not like SM is a small company... I wonder why they're acting like that...

-It looks exactly the same... In fact, SM's looks worse. Just another day of SM being SM.

-Why is a big company acting like this?

-I'm not surprised. They've done similar things before afterall

-I guess SM still hasn't changed...

LOONA's Kim Lip left the stage in the middle of a show

 

'I did some research. Each member was introducing themselves and Kim Jung-eun's turn was right after Vivi Noona's. She was about to introduce herself but the audience kept shouting 'Vivi!! Vivi!!'. It seemed like it made her upset. She cried and left the stage. She didn't come back to the stage after LOONA performed 3 songs'

The company claimed that she left the stage due to health reasons, but because of the timing, that reason seemed off. People are assuming she left the stage because she was upset that the audience chanted another member's name when it was her turn to talk. It's totally understandable, I think Vivi must've felt embarrassed tooㅠㅠ She even stepped up and told the audience that it was Kim Lip's turn to talk. What's wrong with her fansㅠㅠ

Kim Jung-eun = Kim Lip

Vivi is not the same person as solo singer or Girls' High School Mystery Class cast Bibi.

Vivi is another member of LOONA, picture can be seen above.

[+273][-10]

1. [+265][-9] She was already sick, but she held it in. Then it happened and she couldn't hold it in any longer, isn't that why she left the stage?

2. [+192][-6] What kind of manner is that?

3. [+130][-11] The fans are problematic, but her reaction towards the whole situation is not exactly right either

4. [+97][-4] I've watched the clip. Kim Lip had just finished saying one to two sentences when the audience chanted Vivi's name. And it was not just one or two people, but a lot. 

5. [+93][-7] If the caption in the picture was true, aren't the fans really rude for doing that? No matter how much they like Vivi, they shouldn't have done that. If I were there, had to introduce myself, but the audience kept chanting other member's name, I'd leave the stage right away as well.

The thing that women do when they see a handsome man

여자들이 진짜 잘생긴 남자 보면 하는 행동

- 번호를 땀 (X)
- 호감을 드러냄 (X)

- 겁에 질림 (⭕️) pic.twitter.com/dPY4foQz8X

— 썸원 (@meant2lose) August 12, 2022

The thing that women do when they see a handsome man:
-Ask for his number (X)
-Show interest (X)
-Getting scared (O)

Rather than thinking he's handsome, I feel more overwhelmed.

He somehow makes me take some steps backward...?

theqoo

-I know what this feels like...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's so overwhelming that you'd actually take some steps backward...

-I was so overwhelmed during The Boyz's concert. I was frozen when I saw them right in front of my eyesㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I somehow feel shy watching Hyungwon, even through a screen, because he's too handsome. I just can't look straight at the screen.

-This is exactly what I felt when I first saw Moonbin in person, I remember thinking it was 'scary'

-It's true, thoughㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Somehow, you just want to hideㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I almost got hit by a car because I started to take some steps backward when I saw Jo Insung in person...

-Whoa... He looks so f*cking handsome. He just... Shines...

-Whoa... He is indeed very handsome!ㅋㅋ

-I can relate. I've been through a similar experience, too, beforeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I think I know what she's trying to sayㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
