2. The giveaway was supposed to start at noon, but chaos ensued as fans + non-fans + resellers mixed together.

SM Ent. distributed queue number up to #1300, but they ran out of it even before the event officially began.

As expected, the photocards were resold for 60,000 to 70,000 KRW (~43 to 50 USD) each.

4. SM Ent. initally announced they would update fans on the remaining stock tomorrow, but later declared that the event is already over.

The photocard giveaway event held at KWANGYA@SEOUL to celebrate the release of Irene's first solo album has ended.

There will be no further distribution of photocards. We would like to thank everyone who came despite the cold weather.

Please look forward to Irene's first solo album 'Like A Flower' that will be released on November 26.

Thank you.

5. Irene found out about the situation through Bubble and said she would come visit later.

So cold. I have my mugwort hot pack and a blanket. I got it, I will wrap myself up like a Kimbapㅋㅋ I won't let the cold get to me.

What's going on with my photocards? The 'Courage amulets'. Hmm... First of all, I'll come by later.

6. She returned and said that she had already talked to the company and requested for the original photocards to be released.

I didn't expect the 'Courage amulets' photocards to be this popular..!!ㅜㅠㅠ I felt that it was right to give them to anyone who needs courage, so I asked the company to release the source! Those who picked them up today at the company were the first ones to receive their courage! A special gift will be uploaded at 8PM, so please wait a bit longer!

Fans were crying because the resellers are selling her photocards at very expensive price range... This is so touchingㅠㅠㅠ

-This is so touching.

-Whoa, I'm touched.

-Whoa, that's really amazingㅠㅠ I really want to have one.

-You're telling me that there are people who went to the event only to receive the photocards and resell them, instead of going just for their love for the idol????

-Whoa... Her fans must feel so touched to see this.

-I think they should check for fan club membership, how many times the fans have participated in the idols' events, album certifications, or at least Melon stream scored even for freebies or giveaway events like this.

-She has such a beautiful heartㅠㅠ

-If you're not a fan, please don't attend this kind of eventㅠㅠ I feel like resellers are starting to take over everything nowㅜㅜ

-This makes me realize how well she understands her fans' feelings.

-Irene is so nice to her fans...

-There are actually people who go to pop-ups or other events just to resell.

-I hope all resellers go to f*cking hell.

Listeners are divided between SM Ent.'s pick vs Taeyeon's pick from the songs in her latest album

5:55:00 PM

SM Ent.'s pick: Disaster

Taeyeon's pick: Letter to Myself

What's yours?

Bonus: A B-side track that is frequently mentioned by listeners, Blur.

theqoo

-For the title track, I'd say Letter to Myself.

-I listened to both songs consecutively as soon as they were released out of curiosity. I think Taeyeon's pick is more suited as the title track.

-I know the title track is Letter to Myself, but I prefer Disasterㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-All the songs in this album were all initially chosen by SM Ent. anyway...

-Letter to Myself is a good song, but Disaster is the exactly perfect song to listen in this weather.

-For the title track, Letter to Myself is definitely the right choiceㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Disaster... Letter to Myself sounds too ordinary.

-For the title track, it's Letter to Myself.... But Disaster is insanely good as well...

-I prefer Disaster.

-The second song doesn't feel that ordinary to me and I also think it's more suited to be the title track. Not to mention that it suits the weather these days really well.

-Taeyeon's pick, for me. SM's pick somehow sounds very familiar. It feels like I've heard that song somewhere beforeㅋㅋ

-Letter to Myself is definitely title-track material.

-Taeyeon's pick is more suited to be the title track. SM's pick somehow feels a bit boring to be the title track.

-Personally, I like Blur the bestㅋㅋㅋㅋ But between the two, I'm gonna go with Letter to Myself.

-Hul... Today's the day Taeyeon's song comes out.

-I'm currently listening to it now... Her voice is so freaking amazing.

-The song's niceㅋㅋ

-I love the song, but it somehow sounds very sadㅠㅠ

-This song is very sadㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ It is so sad, but I freaking love it.

-Isn't this song too overwhelming?ㅠㅠㅠ

-The song somehow feels upbeat and sad at the same time.

-Both the song and the MV are really amazingㅠㅠ

-Taeyeon's vocals...ㅠㅠ

-Was that bear in her previous MV?? It somehow looks familiar to meㅋㅋㅋ

-Thank you for singing, Taeyeon-ah.

-As expected from Taengoo...

-I f*cking love this song.

-I burst out into tears in the middle of listening to the song and now I can't stop cryingㅠㅠㅠㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅠ

-Why am I tearing up?ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-All of her side tracks are just as amazing... Her vocal is crazy

XdinaryHeroes' drummer, Gunil

theqoo

-Gunil is the best.

-Whoa, he's so f*cking good.

-I saw that liveㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa... I was just gonna watch a bit, but I ended up watching the whole thing.

-Whoa... I watched the whole thing like I was hypnotizedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I don't even know who he isㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This is crazy. I know nothing about drums, but he's really good.

-It totally shows that he went to Berklee with a scholarship.

-He's showing his credentials every time he performs. Berklee Goo Gunil.

-I saw him today and I was so surprised, I almost dropped my jaw to the floor.

-This is insane. He must be a genius...

-How did JYP Ent. manage to find him.... It's insane.

-This is freaking crazy. I watched the whole thing with my mouth wide openㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So crazy.

-He's a Drum God.

-I want to praise myself because I heard this live at the venue.

-He's truly the Devil of Drums.

-Whoa... It sounds like he's shooting with drums.

-I fell in love again with him today.

'ILLIT Plagiarism Lawsuit' Set for trial in January ... The damage compensation amount alone is 2 Billion KRW

11:05:00 AM

The 'ILLIT plagiarism lawsuit,' which has escalated into a conflict between the former CEO of ADOR Min Heejin and BELIFT Lab, is scheduled to begin trial in January next year.

According to legal sources, the Seoul Western District Court’s 12th Civil Division will hold the first hearing on January 10 or the damages suit filed by Belift Lab against Min Heejin. One of the things that grabs attention the most is the fact that BELIFT Lab demands a compensation amount of 2 Billion KRW.

BELIFT Lab filed the lawsuit in June, refuting claims that ILLIT plagiarized NewJeans' planned concepts. BELIFT Lab stated, "ILLIT's branding strategy and concept were finalized and shared internally on 21 July 2023. The so-called 'plan' that the informant talked about was actually sent later on 28 August 2023. Therefore, it couldn't have influenced ILLIT's concept."

Previously, Min Heejin raised the matter during a court hearing for an injunction involving HYBE's voting rights, where she said, "ILLIT plagiarized NewJeans," and disclosed a testimony from a HYBE employee. That employee said that ILLIT's creative director had access to NewJeans' planning proposal from the conceptualization stage and that ILLIT and NewJeans' planned concepts were identical. The employee even said, "I never imagined they would make it exactly the same."

In addition to the lawsuit, BELIFT Lab also revealed that they have filed criminal complaints against Min Heejin for obstruction of business and defamation by claiming unilateral false information about the company and ILLIT. The company stated, "Min Heejin has sacrificed an innocent rookie group for her personal gain. I express my deepest regret for the significant harm she caused to the cultural industry by distorting and cherry-picking facts for her personal gain. If this behavior is not corrected, this will greatly reduce the creative activities of countless creators. And Min Heejin will never be free."

theqoo

-Are they comedians or what?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's really hilarious. They're doing this when they're the ones who did the plagiarismㅋㅋ

-Fighting ILLIT.

-They have no conscience at allㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-They're truly the definition of 'shameless'

-They're the ones who filed a lawsuit?ㅋㅋㅋ

-This is way beyond shameless... So low and cheap of them.

-I clicked on this post thinking that Min Heejin was the one who sued them.

-Seriously, go bankrupt already.

-Shameless, crazy bastards.

-I'm rooting for Min Heejin and NewJeans. Fighting!!!!

-NewJeans' activities got blocked because of them. This is pissing me off.

-Where did their conscience go?

-ILLIT filed a plagiarism lawsuit against Min Heejin?????????? They must be crazy. They absolutely have no conscience.

-It wasn't NewJeans' side that filed the lawsuit...?

-You're saying... ADOR didn't file the lawsuit against BELIFT Lab, but the other way around...?

-Who's suing whom again...
