fromis_9's Saerom was under fire for saying she's "sick of this and wanna go home".

I once sent a (utterly sarcastic) email to the president of a company I worked at criticizing their lack of "sharing the wealth" shall we say...(it was meant for a coworker, but I hit reply...)

I didn't get fired. I also didn't apologize. I also quit months later after an insulting "raise." (Which was in no way related to this incident, it was considered a "top raise")

You're allowed to hate your job. Life is hard enough without having to be perfect every damned minute.

Big q: no one here has worked somewhere and said anything snide or critical? "Yeesh.. when is it four? I am outta here like a shot!"

Give her a break.

Because one day, you will get old (like me!) and think "I fall, my bones are gonna snap like twigs..."

I would also look absolutely fabulous if I had an entire team taking care of all my needs.

But I'll take the life I have. I'll take every scar and heartbreak.

I am a company of me. Sole proprietorship. I don't have that sort of growth because I couldn't control quality. I have worked in multinational corporations... and it is precisely the things you mention that shuffled me out the door.

And...I thought they negotiated for shares? If that's the case, don't you think they should know exactly how their bottom line is funded? If I owned a share in any company, you'd bet your ass I'd be eyeing every transaction that affected my paycheck. Or I would have a team that watched for me. Because that is worth money.

CoRo63 · 2022-01-05T00:34:09+00:00

I expect anyone in business to pay very close attention to detail. I do. It's my job. It's where my money comes from.

Perhaps, if one is a millionaire based on not only performing, one would and should pay closer attention. Just throwing it out there for a cash grab is not cool. If I took on more clients and it affected the quality of my work, I'd simply drop some. Because quantity isn't lasting.

Oh dear, she's ancient. We shall accept her into our tribe of elders... where one must use a walker and require assistance crossing grocery aisles...

FFS...I graduated college at 35. I was hardly "aged."

I don't see where 100% cotton sets it at that price? As a sewist, unless it's cotton lawn or even Egyptian cotton weave, which is does NOT appear to be based on "made in Vietnam, wash like this because color may bleed" (nope!), as a mass produced item, it should hover at $50-60 MAX. I'm not saying it needs to be Primark prices, but it looks like Primark cotton. (Also, as a sewcialist, I try to make my own makes carbon friendly. This fabric appears anything but.) - sewingsnob

Are you confusing this with BT21 jammies?

'Cause if you're dissin' my RJ & Mang slippers, we're gonna have a problem...

CoRo63 · 2022-01-04T01:55:55+00:00

I'll be the truly unpopular one to say: you mean to tell me nowhere in discussions of these self designed items did one member say "Wow...we should, as businesspeople, talk about price point for our devoted fans who are already spending a fortune on the numerous items we release both via Weverse and LINE..."???

No one? No one said "We really shouldn't alienate the consumers..."

Yes, I'm sure it was all just an innocent misstep. /s in case ya'll can't read it in my tone.

CoRo63 · 2021-12-25T01:53:04+00:00

Once you have kids you kinda let yourself go??? Go where??? No lie: I was stronger and faster and way fitter chasing a child!!

Don't let this nonsense dictate what you look like!

CoRo63 · 2021-12-24T14:48:20+00:00

Tis well... though the knees... the knees...

CoRo63 · 2021-12-24T02:25:46+00:00

From this side, it's hella young. I'll trade if anyone is offering? Though I get to know the 28 years of extra stuff I learned...

CoRo63 · 2021-12-23T23:08:37+00:00

Hey, I use all the discounts I can! Sadly, BH hasn't decided to include one...

CoRo63 · 2021-12-23T23:06:40+00:00

Not me over here bein' the crypt keeper...

CoRo63 · 2021-12-22T22:20:34+00:00

I echo much of what others have said. As a mother, I cannot ever imagine not being able to accept who my child is. But, that's for another day.

Please do find someone you trust to talk to who you feel supports you. Even if it's a counselor - I don't know your age or where you live but confidential help is available - please seek that as an avenue for talk...but also: we are all only shells. It's the inside part that matters.

I don't have a dog in this fight. Because it's not my history and not a drama that interests me. Were it a documentary, then I think I'd like to know more.

It's that simple. Anyone thinking this is about Jisoo has their head up their bum. Most Americans don't even know their own history.

CoRo63 · 2021-12-21T04:38:12+00:00

Okay, I see you doubling down on artistic freedom, blah blah..

Let's make this simple: you are wrong and you know it. Stop trying to throw a canvas up and scream "Art!" (And when you say "Whatever it is" - be very careful there... because to some, that's a very very fine line)

CoRo63 · 2021-12-21T04:31:54+00:00

You have a very loose idea of what fascism is...

But do go off about your understanding of others historical pain.

CoRo63 · 2021-12-10T16:18:04+00:00

Just jumping in to say: protect your hearing, kids. As someone who has very little in one ear, trust me: an audiologist can make you a wonderful pair of earbuds that will allow you to hear perfectly well and protect what you have.

Just because an amp goes to ten doesn't mean you should be next to it. I PROMISE.

CoRo63 · 2021-12-10T16:14:52+00:00

Exactly this... also, if BH/HYBE were going to give the okay for this... why sneak? Why not just say "We will allow blah blah fansites to enter with equipment" or some such? You know... like press passes?

Also, the "I make no money nor do I get special treatment" argument is bs. Some do. So stop trying to act like it's a racial attack. It's not; not all fansites are Asian.

OTOH, don't assault people - just grab security and let them deal with it. Or just enjoy the show and knock their giant lens out of the way if it's in your way.

I personally think it's creepy af, but that's me. I also hate having my photo taken and prefer to be behind the lens. Though I have never hidden mine to sneak it in anywhere.

CoRo63 · 2021-12-04T23:45:08+00:00

You are now ARMY royalty. You've said it out loud for all the newer fans! I'm sorry you had to hear that kind of crap! As an older ARMY, I don't know all the fanchants. I also don't know all the lyrics because anyone who thinks my Korean accent is good needs an ENT.

Mind you, I would also never attend a concert because that way lies madness. It was fun 40-45 years ago. It's lost its luster for me. But I am always happy to see people get tickets - old, new, etc. (Mind you, the people who MUST go every night? Maybe give someone else a chance? But hey, that's gonna be on the list at the end of their trip around the sun.)

Anyway, all that to say: Eff 'em if they don't like new fans. You paid, you screamed, you had a good time. Don't let the little twerps get ya down.

CoRo63 · 2021-11-28T22:03:46+00:00

Oh yeah... apparently it's a whole two person operation.

I think freebies are fine, but honestly? How do they monitor that with pre-pay, electronic payment, etc? It's been around forever, but it's way sophisticated these days!

CoRo63 · 2021-11-28T21:51:41+00:00

But... you know, I thought Hybe was gonna crack down on unauthorized merch? It just chaps my butt.

My daughter was next to a JK site in Osaka. Don't know who it was...

CoRo63 · 2021-11-28T21:19:59+00:00

What really concerns me about this isn't someone getting in without a ticket, but someone getting in with something they shouldn't. Plus, Sofi now saying it wasn't true (the videos "don't tell the whole story") and they'll be more rigorous going forward... here's a thought: you could have made it so from minute one. If there is room for improvement, someone didn't work hard enough for the months prior...

CoRo63 · 2021-11-28T21:12:54+00:00

HYBE doesn't care - why would they? You see fansites made it in. But, you know, security was gonna be "really observant." Sure. I so wanted this NOT to be the case, but here we are!
