'Stranger Season 3' is coming, a spin-off this time

 According to OSEN, the production team is currently planning on producing Season 3 of Stranger. They raise anticipation as they reveal that they're planning a spin-off version this time. 

Stranger is a drama about the story of a prosecutor Hwang Si-mok (played by Jo Seungwoo) and detective Han Yeo-jin (played by Bae Doo-na) solving the truth of hidden cases. They aired Season 1 back in 2017 with 16 episodes and were greatly praised for being a 'Well-made' drama. Then, they aired Season 2 in 2020 with 16 episodes and highest viewer rating of 9.4%

According to a representative of the broadcasting station, Stranger Season 3 will be made into a spin-off version that tells a new story. However, the production company of Stranger, ACE Factory, claimed "Nothing is confirmed about Season 3. We are currently discussing various possibilities"

-If it's a spin-off, it means that they're going to change the main character. Will it still be the same Stranger that we know? Hwang Si-mok is literally the face of this drama.

-F*ck yeah!!!! I love this news. I'll hold my breath until they air Season 3.

-Not expecting much since Season 2 wasn't that good...

-I was really disappointed with Season 2

-Hul... Are they changing the main characters?ㅠㅠㅠ

-Season 2 was not even that amazing. Do they really have to come up with a spin off?

-Frankly, Season 1 was the good one. I only watched Season 2 out of loyalty. 

-I'm looking forward to it, especially since it's going to be a spin-offㅋㅋㅋ I really liked Season 2ㅋㅋ

-I was deeply disappointed with Season 2, but I'm really looking forward to this oneㅠㅠ Don't disappoint me againㅠㅠ

-It's not Stranger if there's no Hwang Si-mok

-To be honest, Season 2 wasn't even that bad, but Season 1 was just way too perfect... I wonder how Season 3 is going to be.

-Please bring back the director from Season 1...

Cube's girl group LIGHTSUM to continue as 6 members as Hwiyeon and Jian left the group

 Hello, this is Cube Entertainment.

First of all, we would like to sincerely apologize to fans who have loved and supported LIGHTSUM for this sudden news. After a careful discussion, we have decided that LIGHTSUM will continue activities with 6 members (Sangah, Chowon, Nayoung, Hina, Juhyeon, and Yujeong). We will be fully supporting and put in our best efforts so that LIGHTSUM can continue activities with even better music in the future. We kindly ask you to also root for Hwiyeon and Jian who are no longer able to join us. 

Thank you.

theqoo

-Did they just get fired?

-They should've at least let them write letters for the fans...

-They should've at least told us the reason they left... The members who withdrew are babies who were born in 2005 and 2006...

-Just Cube being Cube. This is why I don't even give my interest to them. They never ended things nicely.

-'Are no longer able to join us'...ㅋㅋㅋ What is this? A survival show elimination?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Are they sick? Why did Cube not explain the reason they left? I thought their contract was 7 years long? It seems to me like Cube fired them...

-They don't even tell us the reason why those two members left???

-Look at these bastards. This is exactly the same thing they did to Apink back thenㅡㅡ

-Look at them kicking out the less popular members...ㅋㅋㅋ They should be responsible of these girls until the end once they decided to debut them...

-The least thing they can do is give the girls an opportunity to greet their fans. They didn't even bother explaining why those members left. They came out of the blue with this announcement. That's cruel.

-This reminds me of Apink...

-I'm sure there must be some reasons why these girls left. If Cube is not going to tell us, I'm sure these girls will expose it sooner or later.

"JBJ95 is responsible for breach of exclusive contract, not the company" ... Ruled to pay hundreds of millions KRW for damages

 The court ruled that JBJ95 (Kim Sanggyun, Takada Kenta) was responsible for the breach of the contract between JBJ95 and Star Road Entertainment. 

On October 21, The Civil Affairs Department of Seoul Western District Court held a lawsuit filed by 2 members of JBJ95 against Star Road Entertainment and a compensation lawsuit filed by Star Road Entertainment against JBJ95.

The court confirmed that the exclusive contract between JBJ95 and Star Road Entertainment is no longer valid, but they also added, "Kim Sanggyun should pay 220M KRW and Takada Kenta 665M KRW to Star Road Entertainment for damages"

Kim Sanggyun and Takada Kenta will bear 70% of the total litigation fees (sum of the main lawsuit and counterclaim), while Star Road Entertainment will bear the remaining 30%

theqoo

-How are they going to pay that much money...

-Hul, they didn't get paid and had to use their own money as they attend their schedule. Do you really think they have that much money?

-Hul... That's a lot of money...

-Huk...???? What's going on.

-Oh Gosh... I guess this is why they still attend schedules in the middle of processing their lawsuit.

-They're just guys in their 20s who didn't get paid... How are they going to pay all of that?

-Does that even make sense??

-Kenta doesn't come from a wealthy family, though...

-Isn't that too cruel?? How is he going to get that 600M KRW from?

-I don't know what to say... I feel really bad for Kenta and Sanggyun.

-Does it make sense that Kenta has to pay them over 600M KRW? Is it even possible for someone to have that much money?

-Oh Gosh... I feel really bad for them.

-Why does Kenta have to pay more? Aren't they in the same group?

LE SSERAFIM's Kazuha becomes the new model of Etude House

 



theqoo

-She's a little bit different from Etude's usual vibes, I'm looking forward to it!

-Image-wise, I think Eunchae suits Etude House more. I personally think Kazuha suits Too Cool For School or Clio more. But I'm sure they're going to be just fine. 

-Oh, this is unexpected. I thought Etude House was going to pick either Eunchae or Sakura. But I knew Kazuha was going to be a model of cosmetic products sooner or later because she's really prettyㅋㅋㅋ

-I think she suits brands with natural and fresh image like Innisfree, thoughㅠㅠ

-This is kinda unexpected, but I believe she's going to do just fine! 

-This is amazing! Even though I'm already beyond the age range of people who buy cosmetic products from Etude House...ㅜㅜ

-Congratulations, Zuha-ya!!ㅎㅎㅎ

-I really like Kazuha, she's really gorgeousㅠㅠㅠ

-Hul... She already got a personal advertisement contract??? She somehow suits the image of this brand really well...

-I feel like Kazuha suits brands with elegant image more, but still... Congratulations!

-??? Isn't this the first time Etude House has a foreigner model? ㄷㄷ

Prediction of 2022 MAMA Rookies of The Year

 

Only songs and albums that are released after November 1, 2021 are counted 

Korean digital sales and physical albums sales are accumulated from Circle Chart
Global digital sales are accumulated from Spotify

Accumulating points for Korean digital sales and physical albums sales will end on November 15 and November 22 for Global digital sales

theqoo

-They've already engraved IVE's name on the trophy as we're talking right now

-I don't know any of those boy groups in the nominations at all

-I will be really upset if IVE doesn't win

-The other groups deserve to win as well, but IVE's achievements are too hard for them to beatㅋㅋ

-I always forget that IVE is a rookie group. They have a lot of hit songs, and they look like a 3-year-old group or older. 

-Do they really have to award the male idols too? I don't think they need separate categories when it comes to Rookies of The Year.

-They still haven't counted points from LE SSERAFIM's latest album. I wonder how big of a difference it will make. 

-Wow... That's a lot of difference between the male and female idols' pointsㅜㅜ

-Can't they just give two awards for the female rookies of the year category?

-Who are those boy groups...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The future of female idols is really bright...

-I think New Jeans would win this one because the percentage of the judges' points is quite big

-New Jeans just debuted in the second half of the year and yet they have already reached that point. That's amazing. 

-Jjang-IVE! They deserve to win Rookies of The Year and Daesang!

The early prediction

(Korean digital sales 20%, Global digital sales 10%, Physical sales 20%, MV 10%, Judges 40%)

Taeyeon lacks in physical sales points and IU lacks in global digital sales points

Latest prediction after some slight changes

(Korean digital sales 20%, Global digital sales 10%, Physical sales 30%, Judges 40%)

Excluding points from judges, it is predicted that either Nayeon or Taeyeon will win this category

theqoo

-Taeyeon is the best female artist in my heart

-How many copies did Nayeon sell? She's amazing...

-I think Nayeon is going to win this one...

-I feel like Nayeon is going to win. Will she be performing in MAMA too?

-Isn't it Nayeon? I still can't get the 'Pop pop pop' out of my head. 

-I hope Nayeon wins this oneㅠㅠㅠ

-But still, I think Taeyeon is going to win...

-It's Nayeon's solo debut and it's doing so much better than I thought, I'm really happy to hear that

-I hope Taeyeon wins. I really like her latest album.

-I'm asking this because I really have no idea... Why do some people think Taeyeon is going to win when Nayeon is ranked #1 there?

-I thought Taeyeon was going to win because IU took her time off this year, I didn't expect Nayeon to have the highest pointㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Good luck, Nayeon. I really like your song, Pop!

-I think they're just going to give it to whoever performs in MAMA...
