Not a lot of people know that these cosmetic brands are no longer owned by South Korean companies

 AHC was acquired by Unilever for about 3T KRW back in 2017


Dr.G was acquired by Migros group for 30B KRW back in 2018

3CE was acquired by Loreal for an estimated 400B KRW back in 2018

Dr. Jart was acquired by Estee Lauder for an estimated 1T KRW back in 2019

theqoo

-Oh... It has been quite a long time since 3CE was acquired by another company. They still look like a Korean brand now, though...

-Hul... I didn't know Dr.G and Dr. Jart were also sold to other companies. I knew about 3CE because it was reported on the news back then.

-Dr. Jart was bought by Estee Lauder??!?!?? Wow...

-Whoa... AHC was sold for 3T KRW...

-I don't know why but I have always thought Dr.G and Dr. Jart were foreign brands...ㅋㅋㅋ

-No wonder why Dr. Jart's products are a lot more expensive now... They don't give out discounts as much as they used to did back then...

-I've always thought AHC was a Japanese brandㅋㅋㅋ

-I thought Dr. Jart was a German brandㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I mean... There are some brands that I didn't even know were owned by Korean companies in the first placeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-3T KRW... It's fascinating. That's the amount of money I will never be able to see with my own eyes.

-I was today's years old when I learned that those brands used to be owned by Korean companies...

-Dr. Jart is the most shocking one for me...

-3CE is the brand that was started by the woman who runs StyleNanda... She sold that for 400B KRW...ㄷㄷㄷㄷ

What is the drama with the worst ending?

 

What is the drama with the worst ending?


Reborn Rich


Big Mouse



Twenty-Five Twenty-One

Memories of The Alhambra



49 Days


High Kick Through The Roof

Lovers in Paris

theqoo

-Where's SKY Castle?

-Highkick Through The Rooftop is a sitcom, on top of that. What kind of a sitcom ending is that?ㅠㅠ

-2521 and Memories of The Alhambra

-For me, the drama with the worst ending still goes to SKY Castle...

-I don't think 49 Days ending was that bad to be included with those other dramas in this post, though?

-I don't think I will ever rewatch 2521 and Reborn Rich again because of the endingsㅋㅋㅋ

-Lovers in Paris ending is not that bad, thoughㅠㅠㅠ

-I have watched all of the dramas listed here and it's safe for me to say that Lovers in Paris has the worst ending

-Reborn Rich!!! I totally enjoyed the drama, but the ending pissed me off so freaking bad

-2521 ending is the most shocking one for me. I stopped watching dramas after that. But still, Baek Yi-jin is my first love and the best male main character I have ever watched in my life

-Where's Hi Bye, Mama?? I was fooled by Kim Taehee and Lee Gyuhyung's chemistry. I can't believe it.

-SKY Castle, and Highkick Through The Rooftop comes after that

-49 Days ending was really stupid...

-Big Mouse

Another clip from the same video that accuses Seventeen's Dokyeom to be texting in the middle of a video fancall

 

Texting (in the middle of a video fancall) is unlike Lee Dokyeom at allㅋㅋ 

If you look at this clip, you can see that both of his hands are up on the table and the phone's screen is reflected on his glasses. 

I hope people will take a look at this clip too. 

Besides that tweet, there are a lot of other clips from the fancall that day where his glasses reflected > a yellow screen, that the fan who first accused him of texting, mistaken as another phone's screen <. That reflection on his glasses was seen when Dokyeom puts both of his hands up on the table, takes on and off his hoodie, and fixes his glasses, basically throughout the whole video fancall. 

Unless Dokyeom has 4 f*cking hands, there's a high possibility that it's just a misunderstanding. I think the staff was trying to communicate with him during the video call, by writing notes on their phone and show it to him. 

theqoo

-I hope this clears out that fan's misunderstanding

-I'm sorry Dokyeom for actually believing that accusation...

-It just sounded so wrong to me, I couldn't believe the accusations. I knew it was just a misunderstanding. 

-I hope Dokyeom will take a legal action against the accusations...

-Hul... I was deeply disappointed when I heard about the accusation, turns out it was just a misunderstandingㅠㅠ This is crazy. I am really sorry.

-Oh Gosh... Seventeen's fans must be really upset to see this accusation...

-I didn't comment anything, but I almost believed the accusation... I wonder why did she post such thing? Is she a hater?

-It must be so upsettingㅠㅠ I saw that post, but I didn't believe it. It's such a relief that the misunderstanding is cleared out right now!! As an idol's fan myself, I can't imagine how upsetting it is when my bias is misunderstoodㅠㅠㅠ

-Hul... It must be really upsetting for Dokyeomㅠㅠ I saw a lot of people going too far and even dragging his past in the hate comments;; They were seemed to be so excited to finally have something about him to hate...

-The Dokyeom I know wouldn't do such a thing. I didn't say anything, though. Because I know that I know nothing and I shouldn't speak so recklessly. I have to say that it was really upsetting for me. That post got over 1000 comments and most of them are negative.

-I knew it. It's not possible to text in the middle of a video fancall anywayㅋㅋㅋ He has to keep up the conversation with the fan and sign the album at the same time. His hands are busy.

The list of trainees I lost feelings for after seeing their attitude on Boys Planet's first elimination

 There are 3 trainees that I lost my feelings for after watching their attitude in the first elimination of Boys Planet


Sung Hanbin didn't shave on the day of such an important event. What is that on his philtrum?
Does he think he can be comfortable now that he ranks #1? Not to mention that he also gained some weight;;


Kim Taerae pouted right after his ranking was announced. Even if he didn't make it to the Top 9, shouldn't he be grateful to the Star Creators who have voted for him?




I don't like how Park Geonwook commented throughout the whole episode
He had a controversy because of his personality before, doesn't that put him at a disadvantage?
It was dumb-founding to hear his comments.
At first, I thought he over-reacted because he wanted to win so badly, you know? But now, I guess that's just his real personality.

I'm very disappointed in these three trainees

pann
[+496][-128]

1. [+373][-9] It's not that Sung Hanbin didn't shave. His moustache grew back because the filming of the elimination took so longㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+335][-9] Hating on Sung Hanbin for that was too much of a reach;;

3. [+311][-4] I mean...ㅋㅋㅋ It's freaking hilarious to see people hating on someone for not shaving his mustache. The episode was so long, even I was tired from watching it. I can't imagine how longer is the filming.

4. [+191][-9] What about Han Yujin's 'Me?' when he was announced to rank #4?

5. [+130][-49] Except for Park Geonwook, this post is too much of a reach;; Stop over-reacting, will you?

6. [+96][-1] I feel like he sounded inconsiderate towards the others in his speech. The trainees who rank in #40s expressed their gratitude towards the voters for saving them from eliminated, and yet he said he wasn't satisfied when he ranks #10, that was very rude. You should make your ambition motivates you, instead of hurting other people. I hope he'll learn the difference between being ambitious and rude.

-Their logo is so perfect. It looks cool on anything, literally.

-I hope it will come out the size of a baseball bat

The rankings of the main vocalists in Boys Planet

 

Lee Hoetaek: #7

Jay: #9

Kim Taerae: #11



Yoo Seungeon: #17

Lee Hwanhee: #46

theqoo

-Yoo Seungeon is a great singer, I noticed

-Lee Hoetaek, please sing all Kpop songs that exist in this world. I beg you.

-Hwanhee's voice in Kpop industry is just like Kimchi stew...

-It'd be absolutely perfect if Hoetaek was the main vocal and Taerae was the lead vocal

-I don't watch the show but #11 and #17 look really fine...

-How many trainees are going to debut in this show?

-The more main vocals, the better it is for the group... I hope the 4 of them get to debut...

-I don't think Kim Taerae is main vocal material, I think he suits to be a lead vocal more... I hope he gets to debut...

-Hwanhee is really talented. I hope he will show everyone how talented he is.

-I think Lee Hoetaek and Kim Taerae's voices would make a really great combination...

-I have always liked Lee Hwanhee's voice, even before this show started. I hope he'll show his potential in this show.

-Seungeon and Taerae have to debut... The group needs strong vocalists.

-I think Lee Hoetaek will be the main vocalist and Kim Taerae will be the lead vocalist. Kim Taerae still lacks to be the main vocalist.
