A picture of G-Dragon, Kim Soohyun, Jung Haein, Lim Siwan, and Lee Soohyuk in one place

 

The figure who doesn't face the camera is presumed to be Kwanghee...?

theqoo

-Why does it look like they’re in some random countryside room?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Looks like it’ll be fun.

-This lineup is crazy...ㄷㄷㄷ

-I'm really looking forward to this partㅋㅋㅋ

-This combo is even better than I imaginedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Now that I'm seeing it with my own eyes.

-I have to watch when this episode comes out.

-Kwanghee and Siwan are also hereㅋㅋㅋ

-Are they all born in ’88?

-I know that GD and Lee Soohyuk are friends, and GD and Kwanghee are friends too. But seeing Lee Soohyuk and Kwanghee together is just so... unexpectedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I've seen them together in Like Likes Like, but I still can't get used to it.

-Whoa.. Kim Soohyun is so f*ckng handsome... This is the most handsome Ive ever seen him look. I'm surprisedㅋㅋㅋ

-I'm most surprised to see Ahn Sungjae. I'm looking forward to thisㅋㅋㅋ

-Kim Soohyun's mouth is so busyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Why do they look like neighborhood Ahjummas?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (In a positive way)(It means they they seem friendly)

-Huk.. Lee Soohyuk and Kim Soohyun were also born in 1988? Why do they somehow feel like they'd be born in 1987...?

-The fact that this lineup is just chilling in a small room makes it even betterㅋㅋㅋ

Fanboys are outraged to see this female idol having a steak...

'Everyone, don't forget to eat:P' 

Let me interpret the tweet that 24 posted on the official Twitter account:

'If you can't afford to buy me something like this, know your place, stay quiet in the corner of your room, and just buy Objekts instead.'

Comment #1: What kind of feedback do you guys expect her to give after these incels throw a fit just because she ate expensive food? It's not like they're her boyfriend
ㄴOP's reply: She probably won't apologize, but I bet she won't post something like this again in the future.

Comment #2: Why should she apologize for posting pictures of her meal?ㅋㅋㅋ You're such a headache. 


Let's just think about it simply. The reason why fans become fans is because of (the idols)' realistic side. 

Would fans prefer to see her eating the same things we do like Gukbap? Or would fans prefer to see her eating asparagus, something that they have never even seen in real life, and two pieces of meat that cost 80,000 KRW?

The answer is obvious, right?

Of course, it's not like they'd criticize her, stop being a fan, or stop buying Objekts just because she eats pasta. But it's natural for fans to like her less after this.


Commenter #12:

I'm saying this just in case she sees this post, but you really need to get your act together, Yeonji-ya. It seems like you've completely forgotten about the struggles you went through when you first left your hometown and moved to the city until early 2023. You used to be so different. Now it seems like you're just spending money on shopping and don't seem to be practicing as much. It feels like you're not as desperate and motivated anymore.

Fans can only point out these things for so long, but you can't expect people to value you the same way forever. Despite showing no improvements in singing and dancing, fans willingly took on the risk and believed in you based. on the testimonies of your fellow members who claimed that you've improved. Do you even realize how incredible that is? And they did it all of this on your birthday too.

Since you're an idol, you should be putting in twice as much effort to improve yourself in order to overcome the criticism you're facing. However, you seem too relaxed compared to the others. Honestly, it's disappointing.

As a fan, I might not know the full picture, but your recent interactions with fans and live performances have been disappointing. You keep getting criticized for your tone, skills, and communications with fans. Especially considering how you cried at the end of the last live broadcast you did in 2023 with the other members, you even shed tears because you were so grateful to your Unnies. I hope you'll take a moment to think how much you've changed in just a year.

And, to be a bit cold and harsh, I want you to know that the fandom doesn't always look at you positively. Of course, there are fans who don't feel this way, but how many people truly believe that you're where you are today solely because of your hard work and talent?

It was a moment of choice, an opportunity, and a bit of luck. Even if it's too late now, I hope you won't disappoint the fans who support you. With 2025 ahead, treat this as a fresh start. I hope you'll take your role as an idol more seriously, work harder, and look up to the talented members of the group. Show us your dedication, Yeonji-ya. Please, I'm begging you.

-Manipulation

-It's easy to appease the people here

-It's a real luxury

-I quit Fromm because 24 keeps flexing things and I f*cking hate it

-Public opinion really is scary

-Huh? Jang XX?

-Let's just support the ones who are humble and eat simple food

-50,000 KRW for a meal.

theqoo

-These broke-ass losers... Go out and buy yourself steak for once...

-Steak is considered a luxury...? I mean... What the f*ck? How old are they??

-Anyone can eat steak... It's something that regular people eat too.. Just go out and buy yourself a steak...

-Incels are hopeless. They're filled with nothing but inferiority complexes. Tsk tsk.

-Seriously, why are they like that?

-Whoa... They're such a dumbass that I'm at a loss for words.

-If you're a sane, true fan, shouldn't you be happy that your idol is eating well and enjoying good food?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's pathetic. They're so delusional that they think celebrities are their girlfriends. They're just being jealous because they can't even afford steak. So pitiful.

-They're afraid of a woman they can't control... Oh Goshㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Doesn't this group actually have many international fangirls? These fanboys don't even spend their money on the group anyway... They're useless.

-Are they crazy? Have they never had steak in their entire lives?

-These dumbassesㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's so f*cking obvious that they don't even have female friendsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-They're just jealous because they're broke and incapable.

-Go out and eat some steak yourselves. You're so pathetic, I can't...

-Imagine living a life where a single picture of steak triggers your insecurities.

What are the works that make you think, "How did they come up with this?"

 

Movies, dramas novels, manhwas, and webtoons with genius/brilliant/bizarre/crazy/etc storylines. No restrictions on genre or nationality.

I personally think the webtoon 'God of Bath' had such a fresh conceptㅋㅋ

theqoo

-Movies: The Truman Show. Webtoons Pegasus Market, Guardians of the Video Game, The Villain's Story, Coffee Milk Mythology. Web novels: The Black-Haired British Doctor. Japanese Manga: GANTZ, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Delicious in Dungeon. I find the theme or directing of these works are unique.

-Drama: Beyond Evil. Movie: Inception, Harry Potter.

-Harry Potter, The Man From Earth. These two movies blew my mind in different waysㅋㅋ

-My diaryㅋ

-The City of Dreaming Books.

-Studio Ghibli films.

-I first learned about Ted Chiang through the movie 'Arrival.' He literally made me think, 'How does someone come up with such ideas?'

-Death Note, Harry Potter.

-Recently, The Zone of Interest.

-Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Dune...?

-Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Ulysses Moore.

-Free Guy.

-I was impressed by the world-building of the AppleTV series SEE. The theme is actually quite realistic, but the way they develop the story is really fresh and innovative.

-Webtoons: Yumi's Cells, DeulseumNalseum (NB: Couldn't find the English title for this one, sorry)

-Rozen Maiden.

Do Kyungsoo: "EXO is still going strong... We're preparing for a full group comeback now"

 

On the 11th and 12th, SM Entertainment celebrated its 30th anniversary with 'SMTOWN Live 2025' concert, drawing significant attention. Many stars under SM Ent. as well as former SM Ent.'s artists attended the concert. However, fans were disappointed, as among other SM Ent.'s representative idol groups, only Suho and Chanyeol from EXO attended.

During the concert, Suho and Chanyeol shed tears while thinking of their fellow members. Addressing this, Do Kyungsooo reassured fans by saying, "EXO is still going strong." He continued, "I believe fans will definitely get to see the full group again. I want to tell fans not to worry. We're about to start preparations for a full-group comeback. You'll be able to see EXO as a full group soon. It might be a bit difficult to happen this year, but I think we'll reunite in the near future. After all, we all have to adjust our individual schedules. But we've been continuously preparing for the comeback."

theqoo

-I trust Kyungsoo, but not the others... I hope they will still do it even if some members are missing.

-'Soon' but 'not this year'... What does that even mean...? Is this from an old interview?

-Who exactly is considered in the full-group? Also, why didn't D.O. attend the SMTOWN Concert??

-Will Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin also participate??? This is amazing.

-I'm always waiting for EXOㅠㅠㅠㅠ I really want to see them soon.

-What does he mean soon but not this year...?

-It'ts only January, so if it's not gonna happen within this year, it seems like they're still at the talking stage.

-If that one member gets discharged in September, then realistically the comeback would happen in Christmas at earliest (Meaning that it's obvious that the comeback wouldn't happen within this year)

-It's going to be difficult for the comeback to happen within this year... Especially since Sehun will get discharged at the end of this year... It makes sense.

-Sehun will get discharged from the military in September, so I figured they would release an album next yearㅋㅋㅋ At least do a fan concert this winter!

-It seems like they'll only do a fan meeting this year! Please give us an album and concert next yearㅠ

-If they're not seriously preparing for it, it's better not to give fans false hope.

-Did Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin leave the group? Who exactly is included in the 'full group'?

-So it's going to be D.O., Suho, Chanyeol, Sehun, and Kai, right?

-Just hearing that EXO is still going strong is enough for me. It's reassuringㅋㅋㅋ
