One-star review of 'MEOW' on IZM

The cat's meowing, which accounts for a full minute out of a song that's less than three minutes long, carries no intention or meaning. The weightless repetition forced into the intro, outro, chorus overdubbing, and even the rap part quickly becomes tiresome, and most importantly, it steals the spotlight from the members’ voices. It seems like Teddy didn't participate in composing this song. This debut song from the first girl group under his label is frankly crude. 

The simple combination of the bass and kick drums throughout the whole song fades out due to the identical structure of both verses and the 30-second instrument break, meant to showcase the choreography, dulls the little impression the song leaves. The monotonous rhythm, inaudible lyrics, hollow repetition, and one-dimensional progression all fail. This is because the song fails to achieve one between the image they want to showcase and the message they want to convey, leaving a vagueness. If there is one thing worth noting, it’s Gawon’s vocals. But the song isn’t solid enough to highlight the individual strengths of the other members. I wonder why they think one forgettable hook song seems more important than a good piece of music you’d want to listen to over and over again?

-I agree…

-I finally finished being brainwashed and I came to actually like the songㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-But seriously, why did they make their debut song, a song they'll have to perform over and over again at concerts and on TV, something that just goes yayayayaya'?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-I love the song. I liked it even more after watching the choreography video.

-I enjoy the song because I like the group, but when I look at the song alone, it makes me question 'This is a song?'. I can't express it well, I'm not good with wordsㅋㅋ

-I love it so much that I listen to it every dayㅋㅋㅋ They're the only girl group I'm actively searching for performances of, but damn it, there are no stages...

-I listen to it every day...ㅋㅋㅋ 1 star is too harshㅋㅋㅋ

-I think it was a good song for getting their name out there, especially since there are so many girl groups now. I'm looking forward to their next song.

-I get what he's trying to say, but I still enjoy listening to itㅋㅋㅋ

-The lyrics in MEOW are literally 'yayaya'ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I started liking the members' charm more after watching their stage performances, but the song is still disappointing. Teddy, please help them out more.

-It's just so predictable and cliché... not fun at all.

-Teddy should've put in more effort since this is the first group he's putting his name behind... Even if he didn't compose it, that doesn't excuse it. Being the head of the label means you're responsible for these things...

Baekhyun Apologizes for Smoking Indoors in Macau: "Did Not Know About the Ban, Sorry for the Disappointment"

 

by Journalist Ha Jiwon

Baekhyun has issued an apology regarding the indoor smoking controversy.

On September 16, Baekhyun's agency, INB100, stated, "We sincerely apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable about our artist Baekhyun smoking indoors."

The agency explained, "Baekhyun and our staff were completely unaware that electronic cigarettes were banned in Macau. During a meal with staff after his concert in Macau, the conversation became lively, and Baekhyun unconsciously used an electronic cigarette."

The statement continued, "Baekhyun deeply regrets disappointing many fans due to his careless behavior and sincerely apologizes. Both the agency and Baekhyun will be more cautious to ensure that such incidents do not happen again, and we promise not to disappoint our fans with similar situations in the future."

Previously, a video showing Baekhyun smoking indoors at what is presumed to be a restaurant spread online, causing controversy.

Here is the full official statement from INB100:

Hello, this is INB100.

We sincerely apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable about our artist Baekhyun smoking indoors.

At that time, Baekhyun and our staff were completely unaware that electronic cigarettes were banned in Macau. During a meal with staff after his concert in Macau, the conversation became lively, and Baekhyun unconsciously used an electronic cigarette.

Baekhyun deeply regrets disappointing many fans due to his careless behavior and sincerely apologizes.

Both the agency and Baekhyun will be more cautious to ensure that such incidents do not happen again, and we promise not to disappoint our fans with similar situations in the future.

We will also do our best to show a more mature image.

Once again, we sincerely apologize for causing concern and discomfort to many people. We are very sorry.

-His unconsciousness is at fault here.

-It is forbidden to smoke indoors here in South Korea. If he smoked out of unconsciousness, does it mean that he is also used to smoke indoors in South Korea???????

-He smoked indoors... And with people aroundㅋㅋㅋ...

-Isn’t the default to not smoke indoors?ㅎㅎ...

-It’s surprising that he did the same thing that his teammate got criticized for.

-Unconsciously during a lively conversation < It just means he often smokes indoors.

-?? It sounds like he smokes indoors regularly.

-They need to write better statements.

-Unconsciously? That means he probably does it all the time, and when caught, he just apologizesㅋㅋ

-Don’t smoke indoors, whether in Korea or elsewhere.

-They should hire a new person to write their official statements.

-Why smoke indoors, especially in a restaurant?

EXO Baekhyun caught smoking indoors ... 'Smoke at the restaurant table'

 

by Journalist Lee Sunmyung

EXO member Baekhyun has faced criticism after a video of him smoking indoors was released.

On the 16th, a video showing Baekhyun smoking indoors, believed to be in a restaurant, began circulating on social media platform X.

In the video, Baekhyun is seen sitting in a corner, engaging in conversation before lighting a cigarette. The footage captures him inhaling and exhaling smoke. The group at the table also includes individuals who appear to be staff members.

theqoo

-This remind me of that pre-debut picture of Baekhyunㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Not really surprised.

-Can't you only smoke in designated areas?... I don't get it. Just take a few steps to a smoking area or outside.

-I was like, 'Again?' But then I realized it was D.O, not him.

-Was this in Macau?

-Why can’t smokers just hold off for a moment? Can't they hold in their urge to smoke? Or is it just they don't want to?

-Baekhyun seems like someone who wouldn’t smoke. Singing and smoking don’t seem related, I guess.

-Oh Gosh... After the backlash his colleagues and junior faced, he seems to not care at allㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I'm not really surprised.

-Seems like some people are confident they won’t get caught.

-I don’t understand why a vocalist would smoke.

-Why are there a lot of people smoking indoors these days?? They really look thoughtless

-I feel sorry for the staff.

-So many blunders.

-Not surprised~

-But really, none of this is surprising.

-Smoking in a restaurant? Even a big company CEO wouldn’t do that.

Kwaktube travels to Italy with Lee Naeun

 (NB: The video has already been deleted)

Kwaktube had a schedule in Europe, and Lee Naeun also had a schedule in London, so they met before she left, as they both had time.

It is said that they got to know each other through Wheels on Mouth PD.

I feel a bit sorry, you know. People around me kept talking, and whenever school violence was mentioned, I got sensitive, like victims, perpetrators, all that stuff. I saw that and got shocked, so I immediately blocked you (Lee Naeun). But I saw the news and realized it wasn’t true, so I unblocked you after finding out. You already knew by then. I’ve never said this to your face, but I had a lot of guilt. As a victim, I talked about it a lot, but then I felt like I was also hurting people who were misunderstood.

I didn’t think I would feel upset. But realizing that so many people misunderstood me and blocked me like that... It was really sad, knowing there were so many people like that.

theqoo

-She didn't just simply guest in this video, she's trying to launder her image.

-Did he make the video private because of the negative reactions?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-So f*cking disappointing.

-The video has already been set to private, but the Instagram story is still upㅋㅋ

-What exactly is meant by misunderstanding? What did you see or hear to think it's a misunderstanding?

-By the way, what happened with the APRIL incident? I’m curious.

-They seem to invalidate other people's pain.

-Wasn't Lee Naeun a victim?

-Kwaktube... Why is a bullying victim tolerating a perpetrator?

-Hyunjoo, fighting. I'm rooting for you.

-? But isn’t it true that Lee Naeun is not the perpetrator?

-Whoa... This is really irritating

-Isn't Kwaktube also a victim of bullying?? Why is he friends with a bully then??...

-Shouldn't they really be punished?

-She's pretty.
