Looking for a new agency.

theqoo

-Will there be an agency to accept them?

-...What are you talking about?

-Hope they get a good contract fee.

-Is there really an agency that will accept them?

-Finding a new agency with a positive influence... Didn't they do the same at their previous company? Is there any guarantee that it won't happen again?

-Is there someone foolish enough to take them in? You never know when they'll stab you in the back.

-They're causing such a fuss and then saying they'll come back?

-Positive influence? New agency?

-Did they end their exclusive contract without any penalty fees?

-Will there be fans supporting them and an agency willing to accept them?

-Even if a company comes forward, it's probably not a legitimate one, lol.

-All surnamed Jeong? That's surprising.

Today at Hongbaek, there are plans for a joint stage with various idol performances, including YOASOBI and K-pop idols.

 

The Kpop idols are NewJeans, LE SSERAFIM, Seventeen, Stray Kids, Misamo

theqoo

-What's YOASOBI?

-It's funny how they promote local idols using K-pop idols. Who even is that YOASOBI? No one would know unless they look it up.

-Don't idolize over national pride. It's just being used for propaganda.

-They're good at taking advantage, indeed.

-Why is there such an uproar? I don't understand what the problem is.

-Why criticize the idols and Japan for this? It's just ridiculous.

-Why spread hate?

-They're using K-pop to get better ratings, right...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ugh, I hate seeing thatㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-JK-pop, damn it, those Japanese folks deserve a beating."

-As expected, a backward country, Japan.

-Ah, they're clearly taking advantage of K-pop idols.

-From now on, even if they don't participate there, they're already popular and earning a lot in Japan. I hope they're not taken advantage of next time. They can even make a special episode with just K-pop groups since they're all popular anyway.

-They're trying to ride on the K-pop wave again

-YOASOBI is hyped up a lot in Japan these days. They exaggerate so much about K-pop being supported by the nation, but they're the ones who seem to be receiving such support. They're trying so hard to associate with K-pop.

How much have you spent on your idols?

"How much have you spent at most for your fandom?"

Jae-hee: "400,000 won (~363 USD) per month."

(A significant cost)

"Is 400,000 won okay?"

(Around 400,000 won is the average price.)

theqoo

-If I calculate everything, I might be able to buy a car

-I don't want to calculate

-If there's a concert, I easily spend 400,000 KRW in a month

-I bought 200 tickets just for the AKB handshake event...

-I've been a fan for over 20 years, and I don't want to know.

-Let's not... calculate.

-Why do you need to calculate that?

-(Blurry eyes)

-Even if you ask how much I spend in a day, I can't answer. It's just for me to know.

-I've been a fan for 15 years, I've been to their overseas concerts and musical shows... albums are the cheapest ((or not))

-I spent a lot this year... I don't want to calculate.

-Spent 900~1500 a month (~818 USD to 1,363 USD), following all overseas tours, going abroad twice a month, attending 8 events, 10 fan meetings, and buying tickets or flights in advance. No regrets for following everything

-Been a fan for 13 years, probably spent 2~3 thousand KRW (~1,818 USD to 2,727 USD) on albums, concerts, and merchandise.

-Being a fan isn't about calculating.

-The most I spent on a concert was 120,000 KRW (~109 USD)

"He was a victim of threats"... Lee Sun-kyun lived as a suspect for 71 days

 

71 days.

Lee Sun-kyun lived as a drug suspect for 71 days. Meanwhile, he was a victim of threats for 105 days.

Lee Sun-kyun did his best to clear the drug allegations. He actively participated in search and seizure, forensics, more than two rounds of questioning, and three summonses.

The police utilized all scientific methods. However, the results were negative. Failing to provide objective evidence, the police relied on Kim OO's testimony.

Even in text messages obtained by 'Dispatch,' there was no evidence of drug use. Even Park OO, arrested as an "accomplice," questioned, "Isn't Lee Sun-kyun unharmed by drugs?"

Can the police be exempted from blame for his death?

They participated in a conflict rather than a legal disagreement. (During the internal investigation), they disclosed identities and circulated unverified information (when facing criticism).

Lee Sun-kyun chose silence before engaging in any struggle. That's the manner in which he spent 71 days, swaying between being a suspect in a drug case rather than a victim of threats.

According to the Incheon Police, "There were no issues with the investigative procedure."

However, problems existed right from the outset.

October 18th, Incheon Police Investigation Progress Report

Investigation Report on Drug Cases Involving Celebrities, Entertainment Workers, etc.

Serial Number: 1

Subject: Lee Sun-kyun (48 years old, male)

Criminal Record: None

Status: Suspect

Note (Occupation): Movie Actor

October 18, 2023.

The Incheon Police Narcotics Crime Investigation Unit (Investigation Team 1) submitted a progress report on the case. It was a plan for the investigation of drug use incidents involving famous celebrities and the top 1% of entertainment venue workers in Gangnam.

The starting point of the case was 'bar madam' Kim OO. In the process of verifying intelligence about Kim, the police came across the name 'Lee Sun-kyun.' 

The police hastily wrote the report without properly conducting an internal investigation. For example, Han OO was already in custody in June of this year. They expanded without verifying the facts.

"Top Star L Under Investigation for Drug Allegations"

It has been reported that Top Star L is under investigation for alleged involvement in drug-related activities. According to a comprehensive investigation by Gyeonggi News on the 19th, the Incheon Police Agency, while investigating entertainment venues in Gangnam, obtained information related to Top Star L's drug allegations.

An official from the Incheon Police stated, "During the investigation of entertainment venues in Gangnam, we acquired information about a celebrity on the level of Yoo Ah-in," adding, "Based on the information regarding actor L's involvement with drugs, an investigation is currently underway." The official further commented, "It has not been confirmed yet whether there are criminal allegations related to drugs against L."

October 19, 2023.

The initial article on the drug case broke.

The Gyeonggi Ilbo reported exclusively, "<Top Star L, under investigation for drug suspicion.>" Just one day after the progress report was released (to the media), information leaked.

The internal investigation was nothing more than checking rumors. It was not the stage for revealing Lee Sun-kyun's name based on intelligence.

Moreover, the police did not even investigate Kim OO. Kim OO's arrest was on October 18, and the initial suspect interrogation was on October 19. They revealed Lee Sun-kyun's name as soon as they caught Kim OO.

Let's go back one day.

October 18, 2023.

Kim OO was arrested. She had six previous drug convictions. At the same time, she was a suspect in the extortion case where he extorted 300 million won from Lee Sun-kyun.

Kim OO had to sell anyone. As a repeat offender, it's said that she "achieves public goals." The police had to catch anyone. In police terms, they say, "Build achievements."

Lee Sun-kyun became a sacrifice between Kim OO's "public goals" and the police's "achievements." Well, the police only looked at his testimony. What about efforts to assess the credibility of the statement?

(It is already confirmed in the case of GD. They turned GD into a drug suspect based on the statement "GD came out of the bathroom staggering.")

December 26, 2023.

JTBC reported exclusively, "<Lee Sun-kyun's statement: 'Used a straw to inhale, thought it was a sleeping pill'>," based on police sources (statements).

Coincidence?

The moment Lee Sun-kyun requested a lie detector, a police-based news broke. Saying, "Let's determine the truth of the statement," an unverified claim turned into news.

This pattern has already repeated several times. When the police receive criticism for excessive investigation, an anonymous police officer appears. Interestingly, the same happened on November 24th.

(When Lee Sun-kyun's armpit hair produced a sound, KBS 9 o'clock news released a recording of Lee Sun-kyun and Kim OO.)

Jeon OO: You threatened to have me arrested, right? I decided to turn myself in. Since I'm turning myself in, I'll spill everything I know. I'll be interrogated on Friday. I'll visit you once during visitation, haha.

Kim OO: What does your turning yourself in have to do with me, lol? Hooray, do well.

Jeon OO: Haha, alright, think of it comfortably. Oh, by the way, now that I think about it, I have quite a lot on me. Enjoy it.

Kim OO: Oh my~ Thanks.

Why did Kim OO cling to Lee Sun-kyun? The details of the case are as follows.

First, Kim OO, Lee OO, Shin OO, and others are involved. Lee OO is the sister of Kim OO and works in the same business. Shin OO is Lee OO's boyfriend.

Shin OO learned about his girlfriend's drug use. He contacted Kim OO and threatened to report it to the police. He actually reported it to the Incheon police.

Kim OO wanted to silence Shin OO (with money). Initially, as a wealthy artist, she threatened Jeon OO. However, Jeon OO confessed first. Failing that, she targeted Lee Sun-kyun next.

(The identity of the hacker has not yet been revealed. Confirmation of accomplice status is also required. But one thing is clear: Kim OO directly threatened Lee Sun-kyun, and it is a fact that Kim OO took 300 million won.)

Kim OO knew that Lee Sun-kyun had nothing to do with drugs. Look at the Kakaotalk conversation with an acquaintance obtained by 'Dispatch.'

Park OO: What does the hacker know?

Park OO: Even if my sister talks about getting high

Park OO: Lee Sun-kyun is unharmed by drugs, right?

Kim OO: Yeah

Park OO: Don't provoke unnecessarily

Kim OO: That's right

Kim OO: What if Sun-kyun oppa was hacked and threatened because of me?

Park OO: No, no. Please, please.

Threatening Message received by Kim OO

By Wednesday, make 1 billion. If you delay, an additional thousand will be added every day.

I won't ask for more.

We aren't that kind of thugs.

By Wednesday, prepare the cash and leave it in front of your house's sewage manhole.

This is the last time I'll talk to you.

If you don't want your life ruined, get ready.

You seem unaware of the current situation,

But you can still get out of it.

If you lose all the people around you and leave a suicide note, then you'll disappear.

If you deny what I'm saying today, I'll contact your mother and [a name or place].

If a phone without records comes tomorrow, Seon-gyun will get involved.

Be careful.

Kim OO accused Jeong Da-eun of hacking. She told people around him that Jeong Da-eun had hacking skills and that she had hacked his phone to threaten him.

Kim also told Lee Seon-gyun about Jeong Da-eun. She said, "Jeong Da-eun hacked my phone. She intends to expose the messages and voice recordings I shared with her."

Dispatch sent a letter to Jeong Da-eun. She responded, "I am currently arrested and in jail. Unfortunately, I cannot make any threats," with a laugh.

Jeong Da-eun's reply:

"I taught myself coding and developed an app. It seems Kim OO mistakenly thinks I'm a hacker. LOL. If I had hacked something, I'd be rich now. The only thing I've done is develop apps with XCODE."

"Everyone seems obsessed with something sexual, but I got into app development. It's really funny, but it's unfair. LOL. I was arrested on August 11th, and they seized my phone, so I couldn't make any threats. Unfortunately..."

theqoo

-The police, lacking scientific evidence, naively trusted Kim's unfounded allegations and botched their investigation.

-This isn't about drugs; even if it were an affair, it's not a crime worthy of death. Couples deal with their issues in their own ways; was it necessary to publicize their personal matters? Both Kim Min-hee and Lee Byung-hun seem to be managing well. Affairs might deserve criticism, but they shouldn't be exposed as if it's a public spectacle.

-No matter how much I think about it, it shouldn't have gone this way... Instead of genuinely investigating him, they singled him out and cornered him. It's baffling.

-From what I've seen, I can't trust Dispatch. They're a very biased media outlet. Whether the woman is a villain and Lee Sungyun actually did drugs are separate issues. Lee Sungyun had genuine feelings for the woman. Declaring outright that he's solely a victim is an oversimplification. The criticism Lee Sungyun faced was less about drugs and more about the perceived impropriety of his relationship with a woman much younger than him. If, like GD, Lee Sungyun is cleared by the police, they'd likely argue that the police were biased against him. Relying solely on Dispatch's reports seems premature.

-The police tried to boost their performance but messed up, so they're leaking private information to distract. Just by reading the comments here, you can see they're diverting attention from the actual issues.

-It's absurd that the police and the media are targeting one person and then publishing articles that stir up the public. They've made things this way, and now they're trying to blame us for criticizing them.

-She's a well-known figure from the past, having made appearances on TV and having had a public same-sex relationship with Han Seo-hee. She's also infamous for being involved in drug controversies with male celebrities. This is why her reputation as an influencer has been negatively impacted.

The new song by BTS V and Umi is revealed to be proceeded without the involvement of any agency or label

 

Umi: Me being a fan of Tae and Tae being a fan of me is how this song started. Like it’s so organic. There were no labels, no companies involved in the creation of this song. It was simply two people who appreciated each other’s music pic.twitter.com/eeML4F4cI3

— TAE GUIDE (@taeguide) December 30, 2023

Umi: V is a very soulful person. His soul seems to be drawn to music. His solo album is also very peaceful and soulful. I remember listening to his music and thinking, 'Wow, he really has a beautiful and a soulful voice.' 

으헝 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 태형이 녹음 할때부터 wherever u r 이 곡이 생일날 공개하고 싶어했대 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 그래서 우미님이 태형이 생일에 맞춰서 공개한거라고😭 https://t.co/Nx1pq9d4gW pic.twitter.com/15Sdqgwhcx

theqoo 

-I happened to listen to this person's song on Melon, got hooked on it, and really like the voice and the song. It's so nice to see them collaborate!

-It's cool that it was made in such an organic way. But what the singer says behind is also cool. It seems like they're saying music should be made like this in the future. 

-Wow, it's even more impressive that they did it on their own will!

-By the way, the song is so good. The vocal harmony is amazing.

- But who is Umi? Did V mention them before? 

-I listened a while ago, and it's stuck in my ears, playing on repeat.

-I've been feeling this since last time. As a solo artist, V clearly shows his musical direction.

-The song has a dreamy feeling, nice to listen to.

-Wow, both are cool. By the way, the vocal harmony in the song is crazy. I really want to recommend this song to people around me.

-It's great that the two singers, without interference from a label or company, connect as fans, work together, and produce a good song. It's touching that V, even after enlisting in the military, still wants to give fans a new song as a birthday gift around Christmas and his birthday. The lyrics, melody, and vocal harmony are all great.

-The combination of their voices is so good, and the melody is warm, making it perfect for listening in winter.

-The more you listen, the more it captivates your ears. It's so good.

-Wow, it's amazing. The fact that they made a song together as fans of each other makes the vocal harmony so good.

Kim Min-guk, son of Kim Sung-joo, who met and took a photo with TWICE's Jihyo at the entertainment awards, shared his thoughts

 

 "I died yesterday. The previously colorless, tasteless, and meaningless Kim Min-guk is now just gasping for breath after meeting Jihyo. A fragrance that can be felt in the brightened world. A breeze that brushed through the deep cave I was wandering in. Meaning found through it. Blind eyes in the snowfall of winter that had drifted away. White snow running towards the light seen with the eyes. I died yesterday, and I took my first breath yesterday."

-He's a poet

-He's a poet. Yes, he's a poet. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
