BTS, a sacrifacial lamb in HYBE-Min Heejin dispute... Victim of rumors

 

by Reporter Lee Jaehoon

BTS is named as the biggest victim amid HYBE and ADOR dispute, according to foreign media reports and reactions from overseas fans.

A French media outlet reported on the 5th (local time) with the headline "BTS Becomes the Biggest Victim of a Corporate War." In the online article, it was reported that the seven members of BTS were involved in waves of hate and rumors online due to the fierce legal battle within HYBE. The article also pointed out that the Korean media are spreading all kinds of rumors about BTS, including allegations of affiliation with specific groups and involvement in Sajaegi. 

The French media outlet also reported that while overseas media did not gain much traction due to lack of evidence, the Korean press extensively covered the issue. They mentioned that Big Hit Music has summoned legal representatives to prosecute those behind the rumors and has promised legal action after confirming the source of malicious posts. Additionally, Big Hit Music apologized for recent concerns regarding their response to rumors. They raised the possibility that HYBE might have been targeted in a smear campaign as dozens of Twitter accounts were created in April to share rumors, despite the lack of evidence. In addition, these accounts were found to have very few or no subscribers.

Furthermore, the French media outlet questioned whether a country that celebrated BTS's 10th anniversary with festivals and fireworks just a year ago is now prepared to turn its back on them. They highlighted that recently, Jungkook was selected as one of the 100 most influential Asians by Gold House, a non-profit organization supporting cultural and artistic figures in the Asia-Pacific region.

Foreign medias are not the only ones who think that South Korea is being harsh on BTS.

International ARMYs are expressing criticism on social media using hashtags like "SOUTH KOREA APOLOGIZE TO BTS" to voice their discontent with certain Korean media and public opinion.

-What? Am I misunderstanding the meaning of rumor?

-This just makes them more unlikeable. It's really embarrassing.

-Calling the verdict a rumor?

-Korean Court: ????

-The more they try to manipulate public opinion, the more they become disliked. Just stay still...

-It's not a rumor, it's a fact that's been revealed.

-The verdict is not a rumor,,,

-They're trying to play victim now, huh? How interestingㅋㅋㅋㅋ The victims are not that group but just all the other singers who were active in the same era.

-They're even turning facts into rumors. It's clear what kind of world they've been living in.

-What a load of crapㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-South Korea is not a Bangtan Republic where Bangtan is above the law of the country.

-They're just talking nonsense.

-Their propaganda is really disgusting.

-Rumor spreaders = South Korean judges.

-What kind of article is this???

-Sue the judge then.

-Stop it, I feel like I'm going to vomit.

-It's true that the artists under HYBE became sacrificial lambs, but it's HYBE who started it all first. 

-Whether they're victims or not, they should clarify first. I'm so tired of the Sajaegi case.

-Is the judge's verdict a rumor? The propaganda is disgusting and embarrassing.

Pictures and videos of Jennie wearing custom Alaïa dress for Met Gala

 




Details


By the way, this year's Met Gala 2024 dress code is 'The Garden of Time.'


Jennie attended this year's Met Gala as an Anna Wintour VIP guest, and she wore a specially made custom dress from the Alaïa brand designed by Pieter Mulier. It took over 200 hours to create this outfit using 13 meters of fabric.

She's also selected as one of the best dressers by Vogue magazine.

theqoo

-So pretty!

-If only the makeup were better, it would have been okay.

-She looks like  a fairy, so beautiful.

-The makeup isn't great, but the outfit suits her so well.

-It's really pretty, fits the Met Gala concept too.

-So pretty, even the accessories.

-The dress seems too short, looks uncomfortable to walk in.

-She looks like a mermaid princess~~ So sweet♡♡♡

-It's different from her usual styling but still pretty. I don't know why the reaction isn't great.

-Wouldn't a loose curled hair suit her better than the slicked-back hair?

-If you take away the clothes, styling, and makeup and look at them individually, they're pretty, but ultimately they don't suit Jenny...ㅜ

-So pretty. The eye makeup and accessories are on point.

-If her hair were slightly curly like Danielle's, it would've been great. 

-Maybe I'm clueless, but she's pretty. If I had to say something, the design is too plain for the event.

-It might have been better without pearls on the hips; it gives off a belly dancer vibe.

-Is this the best they could do with makeup and outfits?ㅠㅠ

-Jennie is absolutely gorgeous, but the skirt looks like a diaper; it's ambiguous...

-The makeup and outfit are really cool, but I wish she had let her hair down. She still looks elegant and pretty though.

-I think she dressed well according to the theme. I immediately thought of the ocean when I saw itㅋㅋㅋ

-Not a fan of the outfitㅠㅠ

-Even needles would break...

-Wow, his veins are popping out like he's about to fail an IV insertion - tmi, if your veins are too prominent, it's actually not good for injectionsㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Looks like he has very little body fat. My arms are just straight-up sausage

-He has an innocent face. But those arms though...

-Oh man, he's got it all

Byun Wooseok body proportions in person

 

theqoo

-Seriously, his face is as small as a cap bottle while his shoulders are as wide as the Pacific Ocean and his legs seem endless...

-How can someone have such a small face with that height...?

-Judging by the proportions alone, among male actors, he seems truly exceptional.

If his height is that tall, then his shoulders shouldn't be that wide; if his shoulders are that wide, then his arms shouldn't be that long; if his arms are that long, then his face shouldn't be that small. He has all the conditions necessary for good proportions maximized. Not to mention that his face is also handsome.

-He's like a walking refrigerator. 

-Isn't his height around 190cm?

-He's like a door.

-He's not just a door, he's a wall.

-He's the number one in terms of body proportions, Byun Wooseok.

-Looks like he's 190cm tall.

-Was he originally a model?

-Is he even human?

-He looks like he's over 190cm.

-Wow, I really want to see him in person.

-His body proportions are insane

-It's hard to believe even after seeing it.

SNL's parody of Min Heejin receives negative reactions on Twitter

 Not because of the parody itself, but for the fact that they portrayed Min Heejin like a fool when they took off her cap. That's why.


Making fun of someone who's fighting with all their might by portraying her as adorable undermines the seriousness of the issue. Those who find this amusing are not very smart.  

If making fun of a woman who stands up for herself against false accusations and online attacks by portraying her as 'silly and cute' is supposed to be funny, then Korean comedy is dead. Is this really funny? 

theqoo 

-I really don't like it when SNL does that occasionally. I know she's become a meme with the blue cap, but this is no different from leaving troll comments on the internet forums.

-It's uncomfortable. They're making a fool out of someone who's fighting tooth and nail against big corporations. They should mock HYBE too.

-SNL seems to always lack consistent thoughts, if they think generating such topics is good, it's pathetic. Have you never seen jokes that are just funny without insulting or mocking anyone?

-Isn't it because it's a hot topic these days?? I'm not sure why they targeted Min Heejin specifically. I think it just shows SNL's level. It's supposed to be entertaining.

-They should have parodied Bang Sihyukㅋㅋㅋ

-It wasn't even satire, they were just imitating for the sake of being funny.

-They should've aimed at HYBE instead. What a bullshit. 

-That's how Korean SNL has always beenㅋㅋㅋ Only mocking the weak.

-The standard... ^^

-Honestly, I wanted to say something about it too, but I was afraid of being labeled as sensitive or easily offended, so I didn't say anything. I find it ridiculous.

-This is a bit heartbreaking ㅠㅠ

-It's not surprising that SNL does that, right?

-Satire and mockery are different. In this case, it's obviously mockery.

-The problem is, it's not even funny.

-Is it right for someone who did nothing wrong to be mocked like that?

The reason why 'Lovely Runner' took 3 years to be produced


"Lovely Runner" wasn't initially anticipated in the K-content market. It took a solid three years to be produced. Many male actors turned down offers to appear in this drama, thinking it was the typical story of a K-pop fan having a crush on an idol. The drama gained momentum when Byun Wooseok accepted the role of the male lead, overcoming casting difficulties. To properly portray the role of the singer Sunjae, Byun Wooseok even sang the songs himself. The song "Downpour," sung by him as the vocalist of the band ECLIPSE in the drama, made its way to the Melon Top 100 (as of the 2nd), an achievement that even famous singers find challenging. In the drama, Sunjae expresses, "I wrote this song because I wanted to kept my first love, Sol, in my heart."

The writer wrote the script while thinking of Kim Hyeyoon, insisting that the female lead had to be played by Kim Hyeyoon. 
As for the male lead, numerous actors rejected the offer to play the role of Sunjae until Byun Wooseok accepted. Byun Wooseok was cast by the director after watching '20th Century Girl.'

theqoo

-He probably just accepted the offer after reading the script since he's known for liking romantic comedies. It's lucky he likes rom-coms.

-If it weren't for them, the drama might not have been produced💙💛

-Byun Wooseok really suits the role of Sunjae, and the chemistry between Sol and Sunjae is so good that the drama became a hit... I'm so glad they accepted the offer to star in this drama. The casting was really good.

-Byun Wooseok, thank you for accepting the offer...

-Honestly, if I were an actor, I might have declined when I saw the title and the script because it sounded too childish. Looking at the post, there were some actors who thought the same way. Maybe the script they received were unfinished, or maybe they just read it roughly. Only after the drama was released, everything, including the script, direction, and acting, fell into place perfectly...

-Byun Wooseok didn't know how to swim at first. He learned how to swim and even took vocal lessons for this drama. 

-They're both in their thirties, but they fit the high school roles so well.

-I wonder who the male actors were who rejected it? They must be regretting it nowㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It wouldn't have worked if it weren't for both of them. They're a perfect match.

-It's amazing how well Byun Wooseok fits Sunjae's role. He really found the right role for himself, and I didn't expect him to have such great chemistry with Kim Hyeyoon.

-Wow, it's destiny.

-I wouldn't have watched it if it weren't for the combination of Byun Wooseok and Kim Hyeyoon. I thought he was a real idol at first. 

-I can't imagine anyone other than Byun Wooseok being Ryu Sunjae. 

-My Monday blues are gone because of themㅠㅠ

-They're both perfect for this drama. Thanks so much... 💛💙

-Sunjae's character came alive after meeting Wooseok, and Wooseok is shining after meeting the best character in his entire lifeㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I discovered Wooseok through this drama, and now I spend all day looking him up.

-The role was destined for Byun Wooseok, really....
