-It's not good to obsess this kind of thing... Unless if they're on another level like BTS, this thing will only make these groups have more haters...

-They remind me of S.E.S-FINKL and Wonder Girls-SNSD

-I'm not a fan of these groups, but I totally agree with this post... I don't think this is something we have to fight over...

-I really like New Jeans' songsㅠㅠㅠ I hope they'll have a comeback soon...

-Why are people fighting over this? These two groups are what I immediately think of when I read the title... Both New Jeans and IVE dominated the music charts last year...

-It hasn't even been a year since they debuted and yet they already ranked #1 in Melon Daily chart for 117 times?? That's crazy...

-New Jeans is also doing really great in overseas music chartsㅋㅋㅋ I think they're the top girl group of the 4th Gen...

-I even made a special playlist for these two groups because I really like their songsㅋㅋㅋ I will never get sick of their songs no matter how many times I repeat them...

-I'm not a K-pop fan. They are the only idol groups I listen to.

-New Jeans' members are seriously so adorable...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

'PEAK TIME' winner, Team 11:00 (VANNER), signed a 3-year contract with KLAP Ent.

https://n.news.naver.com/entertain/article/382/0001049553 


On the 4th, KLAP Ent. announced that they had signed a 3-year contract for the production, promotion, and management of VANNER, the winner of JTBC 'Peak Time'. 

Previously, KLAP Ent. launched a global fandom platform, 'Universe', in July 2020. This year, the company changed its name to KLAP Ent.

theqoo

-What was Vanner's previous company?

-Guys, the contract is just for their management! They are under VT Ent.

-They're not changing company, it's just a contract for their management! Their company is managed by the CEO and the members. If I'm not wrong, the CEO has been doing part-time jobs as well. Anyway, the leader, Taehwan has also been in charge of the company's work (such as managing social media and official fan clubs), that's why his nickname is 'Ten Jobs'!. Anyway, congratulations, Vannerㅠㅠㅠ

-Congratulations!! Taehwan can focus on being an idol now...

-I heard they only hired external managers and rented cars only when they have schedules because they don't have one... It's such a reliefㅠㅠㅠ

-Congratulations!! I wonder how they distribute their profit in this case...

-Does that mean they were signed under a different company then?? Did they have to terminate their contract with their previous company?

-Whoa... This is such a reliefㅠㅠㅠ

-Oh Gosh... I'm literally tearing up right nowㅠㅠ I'm so glad to hear this, boysㅜㅜㅜ

-Their leader finally doesn't have to work part-time now!! That's really great news!!

-Congratulations on only having one job now, Taehwanㅠㅠ Also congratulations to the rest of the members, they don't have to work part-time nowㅜㅜ

-Enhypen is going to have comeback in May 22! Stay tuned!

-Does that mean Bigbang is from 2nd Gen and Seventeen is from 3rd Gen?? Isn't Beast like... from 3rd Gen?

-I wonder how do you tell which idols are from which generations...? (I don't know...)

-4th Gen male idols have a lot of amazing songs, thoughㅎㅎ Fighting!

-I think SKZ is from 3rd Gen...

-Is SKZ in the 4th Gen? Didn't they debut in 2018...?

Seventeen's fans are throwing away thousands of albums

!!Please!! do not throw away unsealed albums at the garbage dump in front of Subway. Please don't just dump the photobooks after taking the merchandise and photo cards... If you do this, people will see Carats as something other than good people. Also, do not unseal your albums and throw away the plastic in the street!





To the person who only took the photocards and left behind 31 copies of albums in Hollys Coffee, please bring these with you. It's not like you pay rent here. What did Hollys Coffee do wrong to deserve this? It would've been better if you gave away these albums in front of M2U Records. Please acknowledge that this behavior is rude and bring these albums with you. 




Some people left 20 copies of albums in front of M2U Records... It's raining, so I moved it. If you threw these away, it means you're rude. But if you didn't mean to throw these away, I will send it back to you! Just contact me!






pann
[+357][-22]

1. [+283][-0] What's the use of increasing album sales by doing that?... I think they should count each person's purchase as one... They still can buy more than one copy if they want to, though

2. [+163][-4] I know what I say will be controversial but... This fandom is not the only one that's throwing away albums, all fandoms doㅋㅋㅋ It's... Problematic, right?? What I personally think ridiculous is the fact that if this was posted elsewhere and they are told to take it down, they eventually do. But here, even if they are told to take it down, it's considered a problem, so they keep uploading itㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+117][-8] The rules needs to be changed. There should be a version that has no photocards or tickets to fan signs and fan calls. People who buy the album should also be registered in the database, so that when they buy different versions from another stores, it won't be counted on the charts. Also, only albums purchased in Korea should be counted on the Korean chart. Many albums are left in overseas warehouses and are counted as sold albums on the Korean charts.

4. [+114][-1] The person from the first picture already apologized... Why is she the only one apologizing?ㅋㅋㅋ The people who threw away the albums are the ones who should be apologizing;;

5. [+88][-5] Affordable albums with 18 versions, 899 photo cards, and fansign and fan call lottery tickets for 3 countries. And many of those albums were eventually thrown away in the trash, on the street, or in overseas warehouses.

theqoo

-This will only cause the idols to receive hate, though...

-I heard there's a service that helps to clean up those discarded albums by burning them. People who left those albums on the street probably don't want to spend even more money on thatㅋㅋㅋ

-18 versions?? I guess that's the reason why their sales are really high...

-Those are the albums of your favorite group, you should've treated it more carefully. There should be measures to address this issue, not only for the environmental reasons but also for the value of the album itself.

-Are the sales that important? What's the point of buying the albums if you're just going to throw it away like that?

-This is exactly why idols should just sell photo cards...

-Shouldn't there be legal measures to prevent this? It seems like this could be a problem for the environment.

-This is all because of the 'photo cards' culture. I just hope companies would stop putting random photo cards and put exactly the same ones in every copies instead. 

-How could you just throw away the albums of your favorite group like that...?

-I'm sorry, earthㅠㅠ
