A reporter that is currently pouring out exclusive interviews with April's side

 

APRIL's hairstylist says, "I scoffed when she claimed to be being bullied."

Lee Hyunjoo had a 'main character syndrome'... It's not that no one touched her, but that they couldn't.

One reporter (NB: Kang Jooil) is releasing a series of articles. That reporter wrote an exclusive article three years ago and seems to be very favorable toward Lee Naeun.

"Lee Naeun spotted all over the streets"

"Lee Naeun resumes SNS after two years ... Still looks stunning in her new profile"

"Lee Naeun signs a contract with Namoo Actors ... Joins Goo Gyohwan under the same roof"

"Lee Naeun's sister says, 'Absolutely no school violence. Filed charges against malicious commenters yesterday'"

"Lee Naeun 'I live for late-night snacks and soju ... I don't gain weight'"

"Lee Naeun transforms into a hacker"

So how did she write about Hyunjoo? The only articles about Hyunjoo she wrote was DSP's (April's company) stance of filing a lawsuit against Hyunjoo.

"Beside Lee Hyunjoo, we were always the criminals"

"'Exposed to be the bully' Lee Hyunjoo opens a YouTube channel"

They denied it, arguing that Lee Hyunjoo decided to leave voluntarily after conflicts with the members. However, Lee Hyunjoo claimed that she was subjected to three years of assault, verbal abuse, and bullying, which led to her suffering from panic disorder and breathing difficulties. She also stated that she had to endure personal attacks and insults directed at her family. In response, DSP once again issued a statement saying that "(Lee Hyunjoo's claims) are completely one-sided and distorted, differing entirely from the objective facts."

What impact might this interview have?

Articles citing the interview by this one reporter are being published, and recently, people have been showing up on Lee Hyunjoo's Instagram comments, telling others to read the articles. Why are they doing this on Hyunjoo's Instagram? 🤔

Testimonies have emerged from people who claim to have closely observed former APRIL's member turned actress, Lee Naeun. Sports Kyunghyang reported on the 25th that they interviewed those who had been closest to April from their debut to their disbandment.

Regarding the 'bullying controversy' surrounding Lee Naeun, a former member of April, which travel YouTuber KwakTube defended and faced backlash for, those who claimed to have observed April closely came forward to defend her. Sports Kyunghyang reported on the 24th that they interviewed five people who were close to April from debut to disbandment.

"Shocking twist... Five April staff members: 'A victim who became the perpetrator in the bullying incident.'" Everyone, search this article on Naver.

Why isn’t there any response from Hyunjoo's side?

In 2023, Hyunjoo joined a small agency called Studio 1592, but since her profile doesn't appear on the agency's website, it seems she currently doesn't have an agency. Her last Instagram post was in August.

What kind of idol was Hyunjoo?

She was April's visual center.

She also worked really hard participating in the group's activities

Go listen to Hyunjoo's cover of Time of Our Life.

She has a beautiful voice.

Hyunjoo is good at performing on stage

Former trainees also gave testimonies on APRIL's case

(Regarding the falsity of the above) Currently, the accuser, the accused, and witnesses are in sharp disagreement over whether the above claims are false. The witnesses who claim the allegations are false are all affiliated with DSP Media, such as the April members, executives, managers, former members, and dance trainers, so it’s difficult to fully trust their statements. Additionally, determining the truth of accusations 1) and 2) is complicated, as personal feelings about group conflicts are very subjective, making it hard to assess objectively. As for accusation 3), although there's suspicion that the claim about a relationship between the accuser and the manager lacks credibility, it is hard to make a definitive judgment due to the lack of cooperation from witness.

APRIL's side sued Hyunjoo, but including the testimony from former trainees, the case ended with a decision of no indictment.

🥲 I heard there have been 7 lawsuits...ㄷㄷㄷ I wonder can posts like this also get you sued???

theqoo

-Why are they so desperate to protect Lee Naeun? She’s not an extraordinary actress or a genius idol. There are plenty of former idols turned actors at her level. Why can't they let go?

-Reporter Kang Jooil, please write a balanced series of articles from Hyunjoo's side as well🙏

-How much money did she get paid under the table? She's really working hard.

-How much money did she receive? I feel sick just thinking about Lee Naeun. This is sickening.

-Now that APRIL doesn't have upcoming activities, they're trying to plan a comeback for Lee Naeun.

-I feel really bad for Hyunjoo.

-Honestly, after seeing all this, everything is just so strange and creepy.

-Hyunjoo is really adorable, she was born to be an idol. It's just that she ended up in the wrong group... It's so frustrating. I liked UNI.T too, though.

-Seeing all this just makes me even more opposed to them. I will never support her in the future.

-There must have been some kind of deal.

Review of RIIZE's Get a Guitar

 

It doesn't have the typical powerful sound, difficult technique, or grand world-building that now have become the unique characteristic of SM Ent.'s rookie groups. The only things driving the song are the playful guitar sound and the members' voices. Even the casual invitation, 'Lightly sling it over your shoulder and give it a go,' even comes off provocatively. Despite the very classic bluesy progression, the top line persistently hits the blue notes, keeping the tension strong and makes the song never feels stale. This song reminds me to the image of a classic boy band while retains the slouchy performance style of modern K-pop. By focusing on the essence, they have succeeded in bringing the public's attention back to boy groups, making this a meaningful single.

theqoo

-Get a Guitar was a really shocking release. Memories was good too. It's a shame that they next releases since then are not as good as these ones.

-Not to mention that the choreography is also very cool.

-Agreed. I still listen to Get a Guitar nowㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Get a Guitar is the only song from RIIZE that I've listened to. I truly loved the vibes. Their other songs are sadly not my cup of tea.

-After its release, this song has been in my playlist for a whole year and I still dont' get tired of it. It's really fascinating.

-I wish they would release another song like Get a Guitar. It's the best song they have ever released so far.

-This is exactly why I only listen to Memories and Get a Guitar.

-Even after checking out their other songs, Get a Guitar is still the best one for me. It's really well made.

-It's very trendy and also has a high-quality at the same time. Not to mention that the choreography is also very good.

-I like RIIZE... They have great songs.

-I love every single thing about Get a Guitar.

-Even the song feels so RIIZE-ish.

-I haven't heard this song, now I'm curious about it. I guess I'm gonna have to check it out later.

-Get a Guitar is still on the chartsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's such a great songㅋㅋ

"This is my third survival show. I wonder if this is the last one...?"

 

Hangyul: This is my third survival show. I wonder if this will be the last one...?

Hangyul from Kwangsoo's company... He was born in 1999, which makes him 24 this year.

He clearly said Peak Time would be his last survival show, but now he's participating in his 4th one.

KBS Survival Show The Unit (2017)

Debuted in IM, now has disbanded (2017-2019)

MNET Survival Show Produce X 101 (2019)

Debuted in X1, now has disbanded (2019-2020)

Debuted in H&D (2020)

Debuted in BAE173 (2020)

Debuting... when it happens multiple times, it makes you exhausted mentally.

JTBC Survival Show Peak Time (2023)

And now...

Korea-China joint survival show Starlight Boys (2024)

Fighting to Hangyul from BAE173, who is on his 4th survival show and 4th debut!

Kim Kwangsoo, we won’t let you get away with this✊🏻

theqoo

-Are they even paying him?

-He's so handsome... He should learn acting and become an actor.

-I don’t know who he is... But it seems like he’s been through a lot emotionally.

-If his career as an idol is not doing well, he could definitely work in acting with that visual. Four survival shows?? Does he still even have the mental capability for it? That's really cruel.

-It’s so sad for Hangyul and BAE173...

-They’re being too harsh on Hangyul...

-This is so upsetting ㅜㅜㅠㅜㅠ

-Why aren’t they letting him promote and just keep putting him through survival shows?

-Kwangsoo-ya, take some responsibility.

-When does his contract end? I hope it ends soon...

-Hangyul is in another survival show? Oh my goodnessㅠㅠㅠ

-It’s such a shame he ended up with the wrong company...

-Why a Chinese survival show, though? ㅠㅠㅠ

-Kwangsoo is too old now. He should retire and take a break... He has no talent for producing idols anyway, so stop trying.

-Wow, four survival shows? That’s too cruel.

Ae-aespa's outfits in their teaser are so bold...

 


 

These are teasers for Ae-aespa, not Aespa 

theqoo

-This makes me feel uncomfortable... What is this?

-What's wrong with these...? I really don't think much of it, I think they just look pretty.

-But seriously, why are they doing this...?

-The skin texture looks really scary.

-It has a weird mannequin vibe, so it’s scary.

-Why wear armor directly on bare skin?

-I want a human.

-It's uniqueㅋㅋㅋ It's just a bit disappointing that I can't see their faces.

-I think they look fine. What's wrong with it?

-This doesn’t seem like the Aespa I knewㅋㅋㅋ Ae-Giselle doesn't look like Giselle here. She looks like Krystal.

-It’s weird.

-Just because it's metallic, it doesn't mean it's an armor. Stop with the excessive hate~ You guys were the ones who told SM Ent. to invest more money on Ae-Aespa when the quality was bad...

-It doesn't look sensual... It's just... Bizzare... Just bring the real Aespa.

-I literally gasped at the first picture... Was it really necessary to go that far?

-What the heck is this...

-They’ve really lost their taste.
