-What, you're only sorry only to shareholders?

-Why did you deceive us? Did you mess up the gaming industry like this too?

-Don't ruin the entertainment industry and just go away.

-If you still think firing one person will solve everything, you're stupid for real.

-Seriously, get lost.

-Labels should be run like Kakao, you guys are failures.

-How can shareholders trust your label after seeing this mess?

-Instead of apologies, resign.

-Bang Sihyuk, Park Jiwon, and other executives should all leave.

-Honestly, what role does Park Ji-won have? What tasks are assigned to him? What did he actually do this time?

-If you're really sorry, resign.

-If you're sorry, show it through action... Leave.

-It would be better if you leave.

-Only caring about shareholders, huh?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Take responsibility and leave.

-Only shareholders matter for you?

-He's really ncompetent and have no conscience

-You really can't do your job, huh?

theqoo

-It's great to have live performances right from the first week...

-The stage set is amazing, the concept is good, and the performance is really good too.

-The choreography is good, and all the members are really pretty and talented

-The outfits are unique and good, and so is the song.

-The stage and outfits are nice, but the pants are disappointing.

-The pants are a bit disappointing, but everything else is pretty. The hair accessories are gorgeous, and the stage setting too.

-Wonyoung, how much more beautiful do you want to get???

-The main vocalist is extremely pretty.

-The main vocalist is really good at live performances.

-The singing, styling, and the girls'' live performances are all really, really good, but I'm a bit disappointed with the choreography...ㅠㅠ I think it would have been better if they had gone for a more hip-hop style.

-The main vocalist really stands out this time.

-The choreography doesn't seem to suit them, it's bland... Besides that, the girls are too pretty and good at singing, everything's great!!

-Princess Wonyoung is so lovely.

-Even though they still used AR here, it seems like they're putting in a lot of effort to perform live, which is good.

-Oh, it's not lipsyncing?? It seems like they've improved a lot in live performances, they're good.

-Among the 4th Gen idols, IVE seems to be the most hardworking on stage.

theqoo 

-Wow, it's been so long since the last time I sawSamuelㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Wasn't he in Produce 101?

-Wow, this is somehow touching.

Kim Jaejoong Shocked When IVE Leeseo, Born in 2007, Addressed Him as 'Uncle' ... "Hurts My Heart"

 
by Reporter Jung Eunchae

The youngest member of IVE, Leeseo, introduced herself, saying "I'm 17 years old in Korean age. I was born in 2007." Kim Jaejoong, who was born in 1986, was taken aback to hear that, saying, "So there's a 21-year age difference between us."

Then, when Leeseo said she wanted to address Kim Jaejoong as 'Uncle', he responded, "Hearing 'Uncle Jaejoong' hurts my heart." In response, Leeseo suggested, "Should I call you Oppa then?" However, Kim Jaejoong replied, "No, that's not it either. It feels a bit strange. Don't force it. You can call me 'Ajusshi', or even 'Grandfather'"

theqoo

-Wow... He's old enough to be her father🥲

-Still, he said it's a bit strange to have her call him Oppaㅋㅋㅋ

-Uncle Jaejoongㅋㅋㅋ But when she tried calling him 'Oppa,' he immediately said that's not itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-????????? 21-year difference?

-I understand how he feels. When someone calls me 'Aunt', it feels weird because they're not my niece or nephewㅋㅋㅋ It's not like I want to be called 'Unnie' either, but it just doesn't feel right, you know?ㅋㅋㅋ

-I get what he means. Maybe calling him 'Sunbae' would be better.

-Grandfather??ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What do you mean 'Grandfather'?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Just calling them 'Sunbae' would be fineㅋㅋ

-Leeseo looks mature and Kim Jaejoong just doesn't age... So the 21-year age difference doesn't look obvious at allㅋㅋㅋ It's not a big deal!!

-With that age gap, calling him 'Oppa' doesn't make senseㅠㅋㅋ 'Uncle' or 'Sunbae' would be better.

-The article title is written to stir up controversyㅋㅋ If you don't read the article, you'll misunderstand.

-But really, Kim Jaejoong takes care of himself wellㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He doesn't seem like an old man ㅠㅠ

-Honestly, 'Oppa' just doesn't sound right. Isn't the word 'Sunbae' more fitting at times like this?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The song that is said to sound similar to ILLIT's song

 



-Oh no...

-There's a part that feels oddly similar.

-The melody in the beginning seems similar.

-Wow, it's exactly the same.

-Isn't it sampling?

-They definitely sampled when making the song, although it's not necessarily agreed upon in terms of copyright - that's plagiarism.

-Isn't it too short to call it plagiarism?

-It's the same...? The melody line is too identical.

-The intro is too similar.

-It's not just similar, it's exactly the sameㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-They probably did this on purpose? Aiming for noise marketing.

-If it's sampling, usually they introduce the song in the description. Like, "This track is sampled from another song."

-It's too identical, it must have been bought, it can't be real.

-They probably just gonna try to quiet this down with money again.

-Isn't this insane?????

-If it's this similar, it's likely sampling, but wouldn't it be mentioned in the album credits?

-Wow... Again???? What is HYBE doing as a company?? It seems like they can't produce anything without copying from someone else.

-I'm not sure what the legal standard for plagiarism is, but it can't be this similar by chance..

-They might have bought the same melody sample for both songs.
