-Only 8 songs in the regular album?

-With just these songs, how did they manage their tours? Even if they have been earning well so far, what about the future? They can't keep reusing the same setlist, right?

-Is it because of Teddy's exclusive producing, or is it YG Entertainment's strategy? This is quite extreme.

-There are too few songs, but the tour was a success.

-With solos, they have enough songs.

-How do they decide the tour setlist??? Always the same songs?

-During the tour, they probably perform many cover songs.

-They released about 30 songs in 7 years. If you average it out, they released one album with 10 songs every 2.5 years. Still, it's limited, but maintaining their status with that number of songs is impressive.

-YG really knows how to maximize their value, huh? Releasing songs over 7 years and still touring.

-Their image isn't overly exploited, which seems good.

-They even included almost half of the singles they previously released in that first full-length album.

-When BIGBANG started, their mini-albums had 6-7 songs, which means half of a full-length album, right? ㅎㅎㅎ But now, with 8 songs, it's considered a full-length album.

-Why are people upset about BLACKPINK releasing fewer albums?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's not that fans are disappointed or that they're not fans; it's just people who aren't fans are getting worked up. Why is that?ㅋㅋ

-Why are so many people upset?

"Born this way".. Rise's Anton responds confidently to mocking comments about parental influence

RIIZE's Anton confidently responded to malicious comments.

Recently, on the group RIIZE's TikTok, a comment was posted towards member Anton saying, "NEPO BABYYY."

"Nepo baby" is a term that mocks children who achieve success without any special effort due to their parents' influence.

In response, Anton replied with "born this way by Lady Gaga."

This phrase quotes a sentiment often used to express the feelings of LGBTQ+ individuals about being born with their sexual orientation or identity.

Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' is recognized as an anthem for the LGBTQ+ community, encapsulating their experiences and struggles.

Anton's handling of the malicious comment is being praised as bold and refreshing, with many applauding his response. However, some are questioning whether using the phrase from the LGBTQ+ community crosses a line.

theqoo

-I don't understand why Anton is getting hate for responding to excessive comments. It's okay to ignore it, but isn't it okay to respond as well? Korea always wants victims to be quiet. He was silent and suddenly started receiving hate, but why can't he respond?

-But really... isn't this just a light-hearted joke? It's funny how Korea reacts so intensely.

-It feels refreshing to see a straightforward response.

-Wow, RIIZE is so popular! 

-Even though Yoonsang brings initial attention, if he himself lacks charm, he won't gain popularity, right?

-I don't care much, but he was handsome. Even if he wasn't Yoonsang's son, he would've debuted somewhere else, right? 

-But if someone quoted Lady Gaga's song, "Born This Way," it wouldn't be a big issue either. The essence of "Born This Way" is that regardless of who you are, you shouldn't deny yourself but love yourself. Even if he said he didn't ride on his parents' fame, it's not like he denied his background or identity. I don't understand why quoting "Born This Way" would be a problem. Those making a fuss probably want to hate him anyway.

-I understand the perspective of someone who isn't a fan. They might think he's getting attention just because of his father. But considering his fan base, even if he wasn't Yoonsang's son, he probably would've become popular somewhere. But since he grew up in such an environment, what can he do? But even before his debut, there were articles saying he always wore expensive clothes and had a silver spoon. It seems like such sentiments make people think more about his parents, not that he's bragging about them

-Commenting on a video with his dad and Nepo Baby in a derogatory way is disrespectful, right? It's crossing a line. Even the ignorant haters who accuse him of planting hate comments seem the same. He was born and raised in the US before coming to Korea, so he probably knows more about that song than the haters. Let's start the new year with a more peaceful mindset~~

-Even though I'm not a fan of RIIZE, this controversy is absurd. "Born This Way" isn't something only a few can use. Why even make it into a news article? The world is filled with mockery, anger, and hate.

-"Born This Way" for him...? I don't have any negative feelings towards him, but it seems out of place. His situation and the song don't seem to match...

Stray Kids Felix's makeup at the Gayo Daejejeon, which has sparked differing opinions

 

Screen capture from the broadcast.

The opinion seems to be divided between 'Too much' and 'Looks great on Felix'.

theqoo

-I'm not a fan, but I remember thinking he looked pretty while watching the live broadcast.

-Absolutely gorgeous.

-But the capture looks tooㅋㅋ harsh. I watched the live broadcast, and it didn't seem that strange.

-It looks a bit pale, so it's not the best, but anything seems to suit this face.

-It's a bit too much... The beanie is pretty, though.

-It's for an end-of-year stage, so what's the fuss? It's not as exaggerated as you think. 

-I'm not a fan, but it looks good on himㅋㅋ If I were a fan, I would've loved itㅋㅋㅋ

-I like Felix, but watching the live broadcast, I felt it was too much and not pretty... Seriously, this is why male idols are becoming more feminine...

-Felix is handsome, but the makeup seems off.

-It's pretty.

-I watched the live broadcast, and it looked too pale. The makeup wasn't great, but the edited photos look perfect.

-It's a special stage, so it seems they did it specially. Sometimes, exaggerated looks like this really suit him, so it's okay.

-Why? Are fans divided on this? Just looking at the main post, it looks pretty to meㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I think he can pull it off well since he receives these well.
