LE SSERAFIM to Perform at Coachella for the Second Time Today (21st)

 

LE SSERAFIM will meet the audience for the second time at the Sahara stage of the largest music festival in the United States, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, on the 20th (local time).

This performance will also be livestreamed via YouTube, and LE SSERAFIM's stage is scheduled to continue from 2:50 p.m. (Korean time) for 40 minutes. Previously, on the 13th, LE SSERAFIM made their debut on the Coachella stage, presenting a passionate performance with a total of 10 songs over 40 minutes.

With diverse hit songs such as 'ANTIFRAGILE,' 'FEARLESS,' 'UNFORGIVEN (feat. Nile Rodgers),' 'Perfect Night,' and the unreleased track '1-800-hot-n-fun' making its debut, LE SSERAFIM delivered intense performances to the powerful band arrangements, receiving enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

In response, reputable overseas media outlets such as Billboard in the United States and NME in the UK praised LE SSERAFIM's Coachella debut stage, saying, "LE SSERAFIM made the Sahara stage their own in just 40 minutes."

However, both praise and criticism emerged after the performance, leading to a debate. Regarding this, Sakura expressed her opinion, saying, "No one is perfect, and it is an undeniable fact that the stage we showed was the best among our performances. That's why I feel very hopeful that we can become a better team in the future, and it was a stage that made me want to work even harder."

As such, amidst the growing interest of many K-pop fans in LE SSERAFIM's second stage, expectations are rising for what kind of performance they will present.

theqoo

-Please do well.

-They'll probably lip-sync this time, maybe even increase the amount of lip-syncing compared to last week.

-Are they performing in Coachella again? Show us a good performance to make up for it ㅠㅠ

-But wouldn't it be disrespectful to the fans who paid high prices to come to their concert if they lip-sync there too?

-Let's show the haters what you got, LE SSERAFIM fighting!!

-Probably going heavy on the AR like last week, might as well just lip-sync.

-Might as well just lip-sync.

-Realistically, it's hard to improve so much in just one week, but I hope it ends without any issues.

-But seriously, I hope they do well... Everyone's been mocking and ridiculing, but I genuinely hope the stage ends successfully...

-It'll definitely be much better than last week.

-Still, I hope they end up doing well. Fighting!

-Does Coachella absolutely require it to be live? Can't they lip-sync?

-Hang in there and do well, fighting!

-Let's do well, I really hope they do well.

-Save K-pop... Please do well.

-I just hope they do better than last time.

-I still expect they've improved somewhat.

Younger Brother of an Actress is Involved in a Stalking-Murder Case

 The family of the woman in her 20s who died after falling from an officetel in Busan has raised suspicions of homicide, drawing attention as they claim that the perpetrator is the younger brother of a currently active actress. 

Recently a post gathered attention on online communities. The post contained a petition from the family of the woman in her 20s who died after falling from an officetel in Busan this January. The OP, identified as a family member of the victim, revealed that Mr. B, a man in his 20s, made a false statement during his initial testimony as he claimed to have witnessed the victim falling after he left her place following an argument. However, the police have secured a CCTV footage showing that Mr. B was with the victim at the time of the fall. Mr. B then proceeded to correct his statement, admitting to being with her at the time of the incident. 

Furthermore, the family expressed distress over the discovery of Mr. B coming out alone with beer cans and slippers after the victim fell. Also, the fact that Mr. B waited for about 10 minutes to report to the emergency services instead of immediately. 

According to reports, Mr. B is the victim's ex-boyfriend who is currently facing allegations of stalking, including threatening the victim several times during their relationship from August to October 2023. He was reported banging on her door for 17 hours after their breakup. 

Despite sufficient evidence, Mr. B denies all charges without showing any signs of remorse or apology. The family also revealed their shock as Mr. B continues to social media as if nothing happened and that his sister is also living a normal life as she films a drama.

[+319][-8] 

1. [+178][-2] It's freaking scary how they deleted my comment right away after I commented that it's 'Jeon Hyewon'~~!~!!!!! '98 liner Jeon Hyewon~~!!!! If they delete this comment again, I'll just post it again.

2. [+149][-1] How come this case isn't getting much attention? Didn't she star as a lead role in a historical drama? If you look up this case on Youtube, all the comments there mention her name. I feel sorry for the victim. The perpetrator still hasn't faced any punishment at all up to this day. I hope this becomes a big issue and the truth is revealed soonㅠㅠ

3. [+145][-1] It seems like she has a strong backup. Usually, when news like this surface online, the company would say something like 'We're currently confirming it'. However, her company still hasn't said anything up to this day. She's not getting hate because of the case itself; It's because it has been months and there's no update about this case at all that people start asking her about it on Instagram. However, she acts as if nothing happened and continue to post pictures with other celebrities. When people floods her Instagram's comment section about this case, she suddenly closes down her comment section and pretends as if she didn't know. That's why she's getting all the hate. If only they had apologized to the victim's family and issued a statement(?) right away back then, it wouldn't have been this bad. They brought this chaos upon themselves. 

4. [+130][-0] I read it in some article that her dad is a lawyer or something... Working in a law firm. On the other side, her uncle is a team leader in Korea Crime Scene Investigation... You know why, right?ㅋㅋㅋ 

5. [+40][-2] I hope you'll end up meeting someone like your own brother.

Kim Saeron Struggled Mentally Following Her Recent Controversy ... The Full Story of Her Canceled Comeback

According to a report by Xports News on the 18th, Kim Saeron has decided to step down from the play 'Dongchimi' amid difficult times following her previous controversy. 

A, who has been close to Kim Saeron for about a year, told Xports News, "Kim Saeron knows it's still early for her to make a comeback, but she put in a lot of effort because she wanted to be on stage and act. Please take a look at the passion she has for the fans who have been waiting for her."

Kim Saeron is reported to have been preparing for the play for about a month with the attitude of a rookie. She met the representative and vice-representative of the theater company for the first time at the audition site. After undergoing auditions, she was eventually cast in the play. The representative of the theater company explained that they cast Kim Saeron in 'Dongchimi' after highly evaluation her passion and acting skills during the audition.

However, after posting a picture of herself and Kim Soohyun, which then caused a controversy, Kim Saeron reportedly going through a hard time mentally. This has caused her physical health significantly. A explained, "She was healthy during rehearsals for the play. But then her physical health deteriorated as she struggled mentally. Then, she discussed the possibility of withdrawing from the play. Health is her top priority."

Kim Saeron herself expressed deep regret over having to step down from the play, given her strong passion for returning to acting. However, she also judged that it is currently a time for self-care and plans to continue her hiatus to focus on her health.

-It's funny how she's cosplaying as the victim after causing the problem herselfㅋㅋㅋ

-Making negative publicity during her period of reflection only makes it harder for her to make a comeback

-It's a mess

-Isn't she the one who posted the picture herself...?

-What does she want us to do?

-Seriously though, what does she want? Isn't she the one who brought this disaster upon herself? Kim Soohyun is the real victim here. 

-She was the one who posted the picture and caused the controversy. So why is she also the one who's falling apart?

-Taking a break when it's tough is also a way. Take some rest and regain your mental strength.

-If she wants to make a comeback quietly, she should control her associates first. Not gonna lie, I was actually starting to forget that controversy.

-Why is she having a hard time when she was the one who brought this disaster upon herself? Because she's getting criticized? Isn't it her own fault? I mean, I'd understand if Kim Soohyun was having a hard time, but not her. It's ridiculousㅋㅋㅋ It's even more annoying now that it's starting to calm down and she brought it up again.

-Seriously, please stop this kind of negative publicity. It's annoying that they always cause their own problems and then act like they're the most pitiful and suffering. What do they want us to do?

ILLIT 'Magnetic' Encore Stage After Winning Top Spot on MCountdown Today

 

SING FOR US ILLIT 🤩#ILLIT5thWin#Magnetic5thWin pic.twitter.com/itIdh2QVCf

theqoo 

-At least they're working hard, they sound better than what I heard last time, it seems like they have improved.

-Minju is really good.

-The previous encore stage was shocking, but this one is actually much better than that time.

-Still, they're learning. Wonhee is cute.

-The song seemed okay... but listening to it live, I wonder what kind of song it is.

-But except for one person, they've improved a bit. Minju was good from the start, and Yoona's voice was too small, but she has improved, and Wonhee missed the beat, but her voice doesn't break and she's improved a bit. Iroha's part is difficult, but if she practices hard, she can cover it to some extent. But honestly, Moka is a difficult case to sing well, so she either has to reduce her part or find another way. 

-I don't know the members' names, but I know who Minju is after reading these comments.

-Still, Moka seems to have improved compared to the previous encore stage. Although she's not perfect, still better than being stuck in the same place for over 10 years. Still, she should work harder.

-Since when has it become normal to praise idols for "improving"? Isn't it normal for singers to at least sing their own songs properly?

-In my eyes, they look cute and pretty because they work hard.

-The song seems difficult, it has high notes... The dance is really intense too...

-They've improved a lot compared to last time!!!

-Why are they only dancing and not singing?

-How did K-pop end up like this;;;

-This is also a huge improvement. Minju was already good from the beginningㅜ

Super Junior Ryeowook Struck Back at Haters on Instagram Again

@leeetttttmmm: Wow, do you seriously think you earn money with just your abilities? I don't have to much to say because I still consider the feelings of Super Junior's fansㅋㅋㅋ Ryeowook-ah, snap out of it. You're not at the level to earn money with just your abilities. Get a grip.

Ryeowook's reply: Who are you? Why are you talking about my level? I have never lost my senses. Please stop leaving malicious comments. I can see them all.

Quoted tweet (Haiqi Qin): Ryeowook-ah... Let's go on a diet. Can't you even manage your body now that you're in a relationship? Then why earn money from fans... Just quit and run a café with your girlfriend. As a fan of over 10 years, you're really pathetic.

Ryeowook's reply: So I'm pathetic? To me, you're just as pathetic. Scary to think that you've liked me for 10 years. Perhaps during those 10 years, you didn't like me, but you liked the idea of yourself liking someone else. I sincerely hope you'll see yourself clearly. And I didn't earn money because of you, but because of my hard work. It's the result of countless hours of effort and path. Don't speak recklessly. 

I feel like I shouldn't even have to explain myself, but to think that there are people out there who freely assume and judge, thinking that I don't even value my own fans. When I said, 'I didn't earn money because of you, but because of my hard work', why do people automatically assume 'you' = 'fans'? Then say things like, 'You earn money because of your fans, but then act like you earned it all yourself,' 'If I were your fans, I'd be hurt,' etc. Those who curse and insult me think they can do whatever they want because they're the ones who spent money on myself. Isn't that power abuse? Why shouldn't I retaliate if I'm hurt? Aren't celebrities human too? Do I always have to endure and overlook everything? If that's the case, only AI celebrities will be left in the end. 

I don't consider those, who spend money on me but then insult and hurt me by spreading hate comments, as my fans. There are real fans who support me, stand by me, and cheer me on, even in moments like this. They are precious people who have trust in me and share both the past and the future with me. It's with these people that I've come this far and achieved what I have now. I hope those who thoughtlessly type out hurtful words without seeing the consequences in their future realize that their actions could lead to regret down the line, even though their faces aren't visible behind the keyboard.

theqoo

-Why do they act like that when they have their favorite singer's picture as their profile picture...

-I don't really know Ryeowook, but he speaks well and seems wise. I've always thought the same when I see haters, but seeing an idol express it like this on Twitter feels refreshing.

-They should at least remove their favorite idol's face from their profile picture before talking like that. I can't understand such behaviorㅋㅋㅋ Haters never realize they're haters. They always make excuse like 'I've been a fan for so long', 'I'm the one who makes you where you're at now'...

-Do they think it's okay to criticize a celebrity's appearance if they spend their money on them? People like that are not fans. They're just haters pretending to be fans. 

-How much money did they spend on him to act like that?? Even if a few of haters like them leave, it wouldn't make a big difference to Ryeowook's life.

-What's with this nonsense again? Seriously, it's hilariousㅋㅋㅋ

-Ryeowook, fighting!

-If being an idol and earning money seems easy, then why don't they become idols and earn money themselves? If they think the idols they stan are worthless, they should just leave.

-Why are they doing this to Ryeowook?

-Ryeowook is absolutely right.

-Ryeowook hasn't said anything wrong.

-Ryeowook earned money because he sings well. What makes them think he didn't earn his own money through his abilities?

-He calmly spoke only the right words. I hope my singer thinks of me in the same way.

-Seriously, the fandom culture is really weird. It's just outright bullying.
