BTS' Jungkook donates 1 Billion KRW to Seoul National University Children's Hospital


Seoul National University Children's Hospital announced that on the 14th, Jungkook donated 1 Billion KRW to children and their families who were suffering from illness. The donation will be used to cover medical expenses for children from low-income families and for the integrated care center. 

Seoul National University Children's Hospital provides treatment for children with severe and rare diseases, pediatric cancer, and leukemia. The hospital operates an integrated care center to not only treat the children's illnesses but also to assist in their holistic recovery and support their families. However, the hospital explained that as the integrated care center operates at a loss, it is difficult to maintain without support from donations. The hospital emphasized that Jungkook's donation will be a great comfort to the children and their families.

The director of Seoul National University Children's Hospital, Choi Eun-hwa, said, "Taking care of children's health is like determining their lifetime, so support is an investment in the future and hope, and it also gives a sense of relief and peace to their families. We will do our best to return the children healthy to their homes, schools, families, and friends, by utilizing the support in the best possible way."

Jungkook said, "I hope to be of some help to children who are suffering and support them to be able to smile healthily."

-No matter how 'young and rich' you are, donating 1 Billion KRW is not an easy thing to do. He's really amazingㅜㅜ

-I have never seen an entertainer donate 1 Billion KRW at onceㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa... I don't think I can ever do that, even if I had a lot of money. He's really cool.

-Whoa... 1 Billion KRW at once... Even the word 'amazing' is not enough to describe him. No matter how rich you are, this is not an easy thing to do. He's really really amazing!!!

-Not even 10 Million or 100 Million, but 1 Billion KRW? Wow...

-He can buy himself a new fry pan in his next life. He's donating 1 Billion KRW generously.

-That's incredible. I'm reminded of the time I went to see BTS when they just made their debut, they are all such hard workers.

-Great job... Regardless of the amount that he donates, I think he has a very beautiful heart...

-Hul... That much money all at once? That's very Jungkookㅋㅋ I'm really grateful for him. He's really cool~

-Whoa... That's crazy. I'm not a fan but I have to admit that he's really cool.

-Will KARA be there too?ㅜㅜ

-Oh... I should go to see Dongpyo...

-Will Oh My Girl be there??

-That means B1A4, Oh My Girl, ONF, and Lee Chaeyeon are going to be there too?

-Hul... Does that mean not only RBW artists but also the artists from the companies they merged and acquired will also perform in that concert?

-Does this mean we will get to see KARA and Oh My Girl in one stage? That's crazy

-Hul... Are WM Ent's artists going to perform in that concert too?

-RBW acquired DSP?? Wow...

-Whoa... I'm not a fan but I know this concert is going to be really fun...

The similarity in small details of Taemin and Lee Gikwang's solo concept

 














Taemin's album was released 2 years ago
Lee Gikwang's album was released just today

theqoo

-I think it seems similar in the picture, but it would be more accurate to watch both videos to confirm...

-That's something people always say when a male solo singer comes up with a sexy+androgynous concept like this...ㅎ

-Lee Gikwang is seriously so handsome...

-It just looks like a common concept to me

-I don't think so. The car scene and the cropped hoodie are really common these days. You can compare their concepts to any other male idols' concepts and say it's plagiarism. 

-It does look similar, but the question is... Is that a really unique concept? I've seen it way too many times

-Isn't it common for male idols to have this kind of concept?

-It does look similar. I'm a fan of a male solo singer and I disagree that this is the image they always come up with 'sexy concept'. You can portray that concept in different ways. 

-What...? I think this looks similar. This concept is not common at all.

-You can tell that Gikwang is using Taemin's concept for reference...

-Maybe their albums were directed by the same person...?

-It's the most f*cking common image for male idols with strong concept...

Boys Planet under fire for rigged votes from China

 In China, there's an app that allows users to duplicate apps on a single device for just 2,200 KRW (~$2 USD). This means that users can create multiple accounts with just one device. This app allows users to multiply their votes rapidly by turning on airplane mode and deleting the cache. The attached photo is an example of this. 



Then, you can create multiple accounts and use them allㅇㅇ


The app's name is '分身～' which means 'clone' (It literally means that you can create multiple accounts with just one device). If you look at the proof pictures below, you'll see that they all say '分身～'. It proves that the owner uses this app to vote.

'I voted 60 times today. Guys, use 'XXX' to vote!'

This person also used that app to vote 36 times.

Proves of fans voting with this app continuously surface online


Seems like a lot of you still don't know that you can download the Cloning Master app from the app store on Android and simply enter my referral code to receive unlimited clones for one month. You can vote an infinite number of times without spending any money by signing up, it's very simple!

If you leave your own referral code down below or enter someone else's referral code, you can also receive free unlimited clones. 

I think this app is already popular among China fans??! With the benefits of referral codes and VIP memberships, it's hard to imagine how many votes one person could secure. Considering they don't only use their personal cellphones, but also their family and friends' phones, one person could vote hundreds of times per day. I think Mnet needs to do something about this (It's unfair because the app is only available in China).

The problem is that this app is able to recognize different software, so it's impossible to be filtered out. It frustrates me because Mnet wouldn't be able to completely stop this app. 

If they're going to investigate vote riggings, they should take this into consideration. 

theqoo

-Each day, I'm looking forward to what kind of controversy Boys Planet is causing...

-Boys Planet? More like Rigged Planetㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I think the same thing also happened back during Produce 48... I guess it's still a thing thenㅋㅋㅋ

-I don't understand why they accept international votes in the first place. I don't even understand why half of the participants are foreignersㅋㅋㅋ If they really want to debut K-pop idols, they should only let Korean trainees participate and Korean viewers vote.

-They need to exclude all of the votes from China at this point, though...?

-Chinese fans are not the only ones doing this, even though the methods are different... Honestly, I've seen Korean fans doing the same thing, even though it wasn't for Boys Planet's votesㅇㅇ

-Chinese fans are not the only ones. Japanese and other international fans are doing this. It's just that Korean fans don't post the proofs on the Internet...

-This can be solved by excluding all the international votes

-Does that mean they can vote unlimited times?

-Why would you watch Mnet's rigged show in the first place...

-Some fans did this during Girls Planet tooㅋㅋㅋ It was the Japanese fans back then, this time it's the Chinese fans...

-For only 2,200 KRW?? That's crazy...

theqoo

-The first place should be a Korean trainee

-The rate for Korean votes is only 20%...? Is this really a Korean survival show?

-They're asking the viewers to make Sung Hanbin rank #1 again...

-You're telling me the rate for Korean votes is only 20% when these trainees are going to debut in South Korea...?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I feel like the candidates for #1 and #2 are Keita, Seok Matthew, and Zhang Hao... I wonder who it is...

-I seriously don't understand why they accept Global votes in the first placeㅋㅋㅋ

-Is this your first time watching a survival show from Mnet?? This show will always debut the PD's favorite trainee no matter whatㅋㅋㅋ It's freaking annoying...

-Park Geonwook, where are you?

-They're revealing this to ask viewers to vote for that 3 traineesㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I can guarantee that 3 trainees are going to debut, congratulations

-Why are they revealing the #11 too?? Are they trying to push Kim Taerae?

-What are you doing, Hanbin's fans... Make him rank #1 againㅠㅠㅠ

-Guys, please vote for Sung Hanbin. At this point, a foreign trainee will become the group's center if you don't. That just doesn't make senseㅠㅠ

-Whatever. I'm not watching this show anymore.
