ILLIT Moka x Billlie Tsuki Cherish Challenge

 

theqoo

-Both of them look like Manhwa characters. How did Tsuki get even cuter?ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

-Hul... I thought HYBE's idols wouldn't post challenges with non-HYBE idols... I guess I was wrong.

-Every time they post a challenge, I can't help but think of that reportㅠ

-All I can think is, "This is probably going to be added to the report"ㅋㅋㅋ

-There's no way this will only receive positive reactions.

-Wow... Both of them have such big eyes. It fascinates meㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ILLIT's staff must have pretty thick skin. After that report got leaked, I thought they would be to embarrassed to go around asking other idols to film challengesㅠㅋㅋㅋ But again, they have to do everything the higher-ups order them to do... Tsuki is so freaking adorable.

-Since Tsuki comes from a small company, they probably think any kind of exposure would be good for their idols...

-I really love Tsuki's energy when she dances.

-Billlie might end up in HYBE's report tooㄷㄷ

-Tsuki is such a great dancer. I hope we all get to see her dancing more often...

-I wonder what will HYBE say about this in their report

Georgina, Karina, and Rihanna wear a 1.6 Billion KRW (~1.1 M USD) necklace

 

Georgina (Ronaldo's girlfriend)

Karina

Rihanna

123-Carat Rubellite, 65-Carat Diamond (Chopard)

theqoo

-That's like the price of an apartmentㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ

-Karina looks like a witch who has magical powers stored in that gem. So freaking pretty...

-Rihanna seems to pull it off the best.

-They must be taking turns to wear that necklace right...? There can’t be three of those massive gems, right?

-I've seen gems like that in real life, and they look even more beautiful and shine even brighter than in photos. You guys seriously have to go to a jewelry exhibit if you have time. It really lifts your mood to see pretty things like that.

-It looks like something that could increase your magic power if you wear it.

-Karina's neck is so long... She looks like a vampire.

-Karina's facial features are so fancyㅋㅋ I heard she was supposed to wear a different necklace, but it was sold. Am I right?

-Riri suits that necklace really well.

-If I had that around my neck, I'd be too nervous and can't even walk properly.

-Rihanna looks the best with it. Karina's dress covers the necklace a bitㅜ

-It seems like a hard necklace to pull off. Rihanna is the only one who looks natural with it.

-I feel this every time, but... Honestly, it doesn't look prettyㅠㅠ

-Rihanna is crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It suits her really well and her styling is on point.

-It seems like only people whose names end with 'na' can wear that necklace.

John Park's cover of Whiplash is seriously insane

 

It's an art

theqoo 

-He killed it.

-Park John is crazy

-Whoa... His deep voice is insane.

-This is legendary.

-I watched this clip at dawn and it has been on my mind all day since then..

-Whoa... I f*cking love this.

-His arrangement is so well-done.

-*Dancing internally*

-His voice is so sexyㄷㄷㄷ

-Whoa... What's with this arrangement? It's crazy. John Park's voice is also crazy.

-What's with his voice? This is very unfamiliar of you, John Park.

-His voice is insane...

-Ah right... I forgot he's a singer.

-John Park is so freaking sexy.

-I couldn't imagine a man singing Whiplash. But this is so freaking good.

-I thought it was a Whiplash parody and was expecting it to be funny... What is this? Please don't do this to me. My heart just skipped a beat.

The similarities between Taylor Swift and HYBE idols' concerts

 

Top: Taylor Swift 1989 World Tour (2015)

Bottom: BTS Bang Bang Con (2020)

Top: Taylor Swift Reputation Stadium Tour (2018)

Bottom: BTS 2019 MAMA Performance (2019)

I deleted the third comparison since it could cause confusion

You can't deny that they used (Taylor Swift) as their reference

theqoo

-That snake, though... Do they even know what that snake means to Taylor? How can they blatantly copy thatㅠㅠ This is so upsetting.

-Comparisons like these make it clear that knockoffs can't catch up to the originals. I'm not defending the knockoffs.

-I don't know if it's because I'm a fan of Taylor, but I can't accept it if they said the snake was just a coincidenceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What relation does BTS have to that snake?

-I think they copied Taylor too much, both the first and second comparisons.

-It's funny that they can't even copy properly and end up with that kind of qualityㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Those umbrellas look cheap.

-They're copying Taylor's concept like it's a free source.

-Do they even know what that snake means to Taylor...?ㅋㅋ How can they just copy that? Especially with no context?

-I know what that snake means for Taylor, even as someone who is not really interested in pop singers... Why is there a snake on BTS' stage? It's so out of the blue.

-Taylor's snake has context and a narrative... Out of all the animals, a snake?

-It looks like they bought those umbrellas at a convenience store and just added some lightingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The snake has something to do with Hermes or Asclepius; it has nothing to do with Dionysus.

theqoo

-Seems like that company is really jealous that EXO's popularity was so huge, it was almost like a syndromeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-EXO's concepts were common?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Then why couldn't they be the first one to come up with those concepts? I don't get it

-If it's so common then why didn't they come up with those concepts first? They couldn't even think about it before EXO came up with those concepts?

-At this point, it's quite clear that they used EXO as reference.

-But aren't these concepts quite common?

-EXO and two groups cosplaying as EXO.

-Which group did the school uniform concept before EXO?

-&TEAM is just a copy-paste at this point.

-They can't even catch up to the original...

-They hate EXO so f*cking much but they also copy EXO at the f*cking same timeㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Those two groups probably wouldn't even exist without EXO.

-You're telling me that school uniform concept was already common before EXO came up with it? Then, you tell me which group did that concept before EXO.

-What the heck are these?

Re-visiting comparison of D.O's Empathy and RM's Entirety concept similarities

Do Kyungsoo (D.O.) Empathy (Album) released on 21.07.26

RM Entirety (Photobook) released on 22.09.05

Teaser & Behind the Scenes



Teaser Images & Pictorial


Some of the comparison images above can be seen directly in the video:

1. D.O's MV, Behind-the-Scenes of Teaser 




2. RM's 'Entirety' Teaser & Photoshoot Sketch



Although there was talk among international Kpop fans about the similarities at the time of release, it didn't become an issue and was buried. On 11/01, as HYBE's internal report regarding D.O leaked online, people are revisiting and questioning whether plagiarism may have occurred.

theqoo

-The concept and vibe are similar, but somehow, there’s a huge difference in quality and many other aspectsㅋㅋ

-Seriously, though... What would they do without SM Ent.?

-Hmm... It's so similar... Didn't EXO fans notice this? I'm sure if they did, this could've become an issue right away. Or maybe BTS fans defended him well?

-I mean... Using something as a reference is one thing, but why do they just copy it without making any improvements? If this isn't a straight-up copy-paste, what is it? It’s not just “inspired by”; it’s a direct copy.

-I knew D.O was handsome, but he looks even more handsome now.

-How long are they going to keep copying SM Ent.?

-Doesn't HYBE... have a lot of... money...?....

-The videos don't look that similar, but when you compile all the pictures together like this, they do look similar.

-D.O doesn't seem to age... Wow...

-D.O is really handsomeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The original's quality is untouchable.

-This isn’t the first time they did this... And it's always SM Ent....

-Kyungsoo-ya, I love you...

-At this point, they just copy-paste it.

-Why is that company like that? They have no shame.

-I'm a D.O fan and I just found out about this today. I didn't even know he released that photobook.

-They even copied the frecklesㅋㅋ
