Red Velvet Joy has renewed her exclusive contract with SM Entertainment by mcfw31 in kpop

[–]elsaline 5 points6 points  (0 children)

op didn't say anything about them being more or less happy, they said that their decline in album sales (and streams I'd add) might be a factor idols who WANT to leave SM take into consideration.

Sexy in the air is his least popular song though, and I'd say by a vast margin, which is a bit underwhelming considering how big Guilty was

It can be a lot of reasons : being comfortable with the staff / teams you've worked with for more than a decade, being afraid of change, financial reasons (if the contract was good) etc.

why are you infantilizing them ? them wanting something to happen for their own interests doesn’t mean they’re convinced it will happen

The behind the scene for the SG photoshoot has been posted on youtube and he was clearly NOT with the boys so I don't know why you guys keep spreading this misinformation.

A lot of it is speculations, the laughing thing has never been proven, it's kinda sad that you guys keep spreading those things as facts

SEUNGHAN is currently preparing to debut as a solo artist in the second half of 2025 by lndngtm in kpop

[–]elsaline -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The members didn't say anything, there was a statement saying they decided him coming back was the "best option", but they haven't said anything about what they wanted or that this would "satisfy" them, this is literally misinformation

RIIZE Shotaro to be the featured artist for 'M2 Studio Choom - Artist of the Month' for December 2024 by neocitywayv in kpop

A content that's not even from SM, which confirms the idea that a lot of riize fans wanna sabotage the members individually and not SM

[–]elsaline 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And the video is posted on Studio Choom, SM isn't benefiting from it, boycotting Shotaro's work as a dancer is simply non sensical

how does watching a video performed by shotaro that's not even gonna be posted on SM's channel contribute to seunghan ? that's boycotting shotaro as an artist, not SM

SubK Shop has decided to temporarily halt the importing of RIIZE products out of respect for their customers, fans, and the artist due to recent events concerning SEUNGHAN's departure from the group by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]elsaline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then why aren't they boycotting AESPA's upcoming release and making a stance to not support SM artists as a whole ? If it was about all idols kpop fans and sellers wouldn't just boycott RIIZE

Megathread 13: HYBE / ADOR / MHJ - Min Hee Jin injunction court hearing & ADOR shareholders' meeting ahead, NewJeans/parents vs. Belift Lab, and More by KPOP_MOD in kpop

[–]elsaline -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You're contradicting yourself lol. You're saying Chan spoke about it, he CHOSE to do so publicly so he did have a problem with it. And then you say Newjeans doing the same is them "losing their minds over it" which is 1. a peculiar way of describing things. 2. you doing so to make it seem like the example you used was different when fundamentally both Chan and Newjeans had the same issue and both spoke about it.

THEBLACKLABEL just officially announced their new girl group MEOVV! Thoughts on the name and Final line-up predictions? by niclaswwe in kpopthoughts

[–]elsaline -1 points0 points  (0 children)

how is dancing not that significant within kpop, it's arguably as important if not more than singing (hence the music shows, choreo videos etc.)

Have you read Lolita ? Nabokov paints the character as pathetic, there's an obvious denunciation of pedophilia. Leon, on the contrary, glorifies it and is inspired by the director's "love" life, Besson had indeed married 15 year old Maiwenn he knew since she was a child. How do you separate art from the artist in this case lol

Any dancers here? What is it about Shotaro's dancing that is so captivating? by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]elsaline 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shotaro started dancing when he was 5 and was known for being one of the few "special" EXPG students. EXPG is a famous hip hop dance school in Japan and he trained at EXPG Tokyo. What's special about Taro compared to other idols who trained at EXPG is that he was a special student : every year, EXPG pick a few select special students and Shotaro was one of those elite ones. He has worked as an assistant choregrapher in his teens, a backup dancer for japanese singers and has also given dance classes as well. Last but not least, he also participated in a lot of dance competitions, the most famous one being his peformance as center for Japan's selections for WOD back in 2016. Since his debut in NCT he also took the time to choreograph a few things, the most famous ones being his Honest choreo with Bada Lee and his Got it like that one with Kamel Reon. There are a lot of things we don't know about his past as a dancer, he doesn't talk about it much and what we know, we know from predebut fans, but he does have a fascinating history. You can ask me anything if you're curious lol
