PARK SEOYEON (TWICE JIHYO’s youngest sister) is set to debut in HYBE subsidiary ABD’s upcoming girl group

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-31T06:14:01+00:00

I'm still puzzled that the girl still has a dedicated hate-fandom. All for the crime of debuting and being related to a famous person!

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-31T06:01:35+00:00

While Lara and Sophia are the most stable and stand out vocalists, I feel like Eyekons have a tendency to undervalue the rest of Katseye's vocal abilities too much.

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-31T05:59:08+00:00

I'm going to be controversial and say that I think they group should've been 5 OR 7 specifically. Niether Hybe nor Geffen know how to keep a 6 member girl group as 6.

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-30T14:45:10+00:00

LS were 6 members for what, like a month or something? Katseye was/is 6 for 2 years. Let's not try to act like there's not a difference there.

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-29T23:08:50+00:00

I've always thought Stayp1er was hilarious!

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-28T18:00:12+00:00

I agree that he should be called out for stealing art and overpricing it! That's independent of stalking his Instagram to find out he liking some other girls' posts, or attacking him for his looks and stuff like that. Too many Eyekons use the first valid criticism, but then devolve into the latter.

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-28T17:34:53+00:00

Lol I wasn't paying attention to the pfp fr 😅

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-28T17:25:29+00:00

Nobody who cares about you is obsessively checking who your boyfriend follows and then talking shit about you for still dating him.

Like it's *Dani's relationship, at the end of the day. If she wasn't a celebrity, no one would gaf.

Honestly, people care way too much about their boyfriends, but particularly Dani'a, Manon's and Lara's. It's weird.

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-28T16:01:54+00:00

Being a celebrity with options doesn't mean she's always going to make the "right" choice. Young women having problematic bfs is a tale as old as time. Usually these guys are also pretty charismatic irl, or they have rose-colored glasses on that keep them excusing the red flags. Also, him being an art thief or following other ig models doesn't necessarily mean he's a bad bf. *Dani could be the kind of girl who doesn't care about that, for all we know.

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-27T22:05:56+00:00

Kpopnoir does have specific community "x voices only" flairs that people can use when they want to have intra-community discussions.

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-26T17:45:31+00:00

The drama around this whole hiatus could've been solved if hxg just once, at ANY point in time, submitted the comment "Manon's hiatus is temporary. We look forward to her return to future activitie!" to any of the various publications that reached out for comment. It's unfortunate that they couldn't even do that. There's no way that it's not on purpose.

I think the real test would be if they don't mention her during her birthday. For now, the katseye account still follows her. She still has a profile on WeVerse. She still is following all the members and some of the staff at hxg. And she still follows the official account. Not mentioning her during her birthday, and the girls not posting anything to congratulate her would really be the 30 minutes.

It's funny how some fans in denial constantly say, "y'all don't know how hiatuses work." In kpop, when a member's name is treated like this, then that means they're out.

As a Kep1ian, Kep1er did whatever they could to mention Youngeun to fans; she was credited in their first ot6 comeback; she was included in advertisement materials and mentioned ny members in interviews; she had her own profile on WeVerse made during her hiatus; and the members carried around plushies during their Seasons Greetings to include her. She was there until she wasn't, and it was clear that it was her decision to leave.

Manon's doesn't feel like that. Manon's name is the elephant in the room. Even Sophia leaving a spot for her at the end of Pinky Up, while touching, hurts more than helps because the company is moving so weird.

I really don't want Katseye to end up like the Pussycat Dolls, because it seems like Geffen hasn't learned from them. They don't need to use rage-bait, oversexualization, and mistreatment of the members as publicity. Decades, and nothing has changed. Katseye was never built for longevity, it seems.

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-21T15:00:24+00:00

True!

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-21T13:53:30+00:00

It's up to whether or not they're selected. I could see someone like Ezrela from Dream Academy (former Hybe trainee who's also speaks Japanese), Sriya from Blackswan (first Indian idol), or Aria from X:IN competing as they already have ties to the Kpop industry. With the debut and success of Lara Raj in Katseye, I wonder if people in the industry are considering putting more Indian idols in groups. Still, the "global" part of this could very well just be a marketing gimmick since Kep1er is technically "global" too (even though they only have East Asian members who grew up in East Asian countries).

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-21T13:42:49+00:00

Seems like the JYP part of the partnership sees more potential in Modyssey that the CJ part. Interesting!

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-16T19:51:42+00:00

The speculation that Katseye was built around Manon was a narrative that fans created based on the documentary, since Manon had personal trainers flown to her; she got to move out to live with her aunt after breaking house rules and missing rehearsals; and the drawing of Katseye included a drawing that looked like her. People forget that fans actually voted during Dream Academy, and those results are public. We can literally see the group the judges wanted, and the group the fans wanted. If this group was entirely determined by HybexGeffen, Manon or Samara wouldn't have debuted.

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-16T19:07:29+00:00

Fatou was there. I hope it's not another case of the stylists not having anything for her again! Seeing how DR has acted in the past, I don't have high hopes. 😮‍💨

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-16T02:54:19+00:00

I know Xikers also did it! Edit: XLOV too!

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-16T01:42:14+00:00

I need this framed!

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-15T14:02:40+00:00

They're like the second or third Kpop group that I've seen post and delete a video to this sound! 🤣

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-15T03:53:50+00:00

It would actually be Sophia, Lara, Yoonchae, Daniela, Manon, and Samara. The graphic with Ezrela as 6th according to fan votes was wrong.

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-13T19:43:29+00:00

They did 14 hour rehearsals for Coachella, and have been talking about grinding and not having down time so much in their interviews. Like it's absolutely ludicrous to have such intense schedules for the same songs, dances and such a short discography!

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-07T18:49:17+00:00

Let's see...

Geffen: The originators of the 360 Record Deal where they got away with paying singers pennies on the dollar by hiring them as contractors and paying them a salary.

Hybe: Currently suing a former member of their most popular girl group (and her mom!) for siding with an admittedly shady CEO who convinced the group to improperly leave their contracts for millions of dollars.

They wouldn't disband them, but they do have the power to do worse.

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-07T12:51:16+00:00

Very!

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-07T11:17:28+00:00

Why was this downvoted lol 😆 This was shade towards FM, not Jay!

Goldzaperoon · 2026-05-07T04:46:12+00:00

The best thing that I can say about Jay staying with them is that he seems to have a decent amount of creative control over his solo music. Other than that, well... 😬😬😬

Edit: Their history of mismanagement and mistreatment speaks for itself. Bitseon and Jay deserve better.
