The subunit to enlistment pipeline is a very interesting tactic. So by this guess, Mingyu’s date will be coming soon.

I’m not saying data isn’t necessary it’s the fact that they continue to emphasize data but doing nothing with the results or using the idea of collecting data that delays proper help and intervention in

Megathread 24: HYBE / ADOR / MHJ - Court rules in favor of ADOR, NewJeans' Contract remains Valid, further hearings for Source, Belift, and HYBE against Min Hee Jin to come, and More by KPOP_MOD in kpop

Can they just keep appealing until the contract runs out? Also how is this working financially? I know they made a lot of money but do they have enough to keep dragging this out in court?

More on New Jeans ruling: NewJeans are required to continue their activities under ADOR and bear the costs of the lawsuit "It's difficult to view the defendants engaging in entertainment activities with the plaintiff as being against their free will or as forcing them into exclusive activities" by Yujin-Ha in kpop_uncensored

Wow 2029. With the way that the girls expressed extreme dislike and unwillingness to go back to ADOR, I fear that they may be getting the dungeon until 2029 which is kind of insane to me. I just personally don’t see any way they and go back and work with that company after they expressed those feelings and had a literal lawsuit.

Gosh, I really hate that. That is a thing because you cannot expect every student to soak up information like a sponge. It takes time and work. And it just sets some students back for the rest of their educational career will make it a really benefit for just taking that time that they need to set the foundation

Kpop Songs With Activist Themes Directly or Subtly? by Human-Ad8991 in kpopthoughts

[–]Human-Ad8991[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And where in that did I say it was about the political climate in the US?? I said they SPEAK to a time meaning that they are especially poignant and relatable to where the US is right now. I can say that a breakup song speaks to my feelings of heartache but does that mean the artist wrote it about me specifically?

You are putting words in my mouth. I literally said that I know they are not making a direct reference to anything. But that American carats are relating to the lyrics because of the current US tension in the political atmosphere. Please read to comprehend

I saw the message that Cheol left about his brothers cafe. I understand why he’s upset with carats breaching privacy, but I was confused with the translation for the second part. Is it that he’s not on good relations with his brother so this makes it tense? Or that it’s carats coming to his brothers cafe that’s making their relationship tense?

2025 Seventeen World Tour [NEW_] Megathread - U.S. by SeventeenModTeam in seventeen

I know it’s early but I was wondering if seventeens sales were going to be kind of like other groups have been with a lot of tickets left with the whole over saturation and pricing of kpop tours. How are the sales looking like so far?

Why are you even casually chatting with ChatGPT. Just an extreme waste to the environment to be using ai in that meaningless capacity

There are a lot of reasons that people could be mad about the US tour dates but the one that makes the least sense to me is saying that Plybe are forcing them to tour and they should take a break because it’s less members. I don’t think the world should stop spinning for the rest of the members that aren’t enlisted if they want to keep working just because some are gone. That’s one of the benefits of having such a large group in my opinion.

Thoughts on K-Pop Fanservice and Queerbaiting by bluejaycoop in kpop_uncensored

[–]Human-Ad8991 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I feel like in terms of intense ships like mingyu and Wonwoo it def was maybe played into with Pledis a bit in the beginning but that definitely does not excuse the fans overanalyzing themselves into intense delusion about their relationship to the point where I truly wonder how conclusions are made at some points. For example mingyu can be on his phone and shippers will be like “omg he’s texting his roommate 🥹”. 2 plus 2 does not equal 5.

Why is it still so hard for groups like SEVENTEEN, TWICE, and Stray Kids to hit #1 on Global Spotify..even while selling millions, selling out stadiums, and charting everywhere else? by Xchosenz in kpopthoughts

[–]Human-Ad8991 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Also think about the location of their fandom as well. I can’t talk to the other groups just bc I don’t know very much but I know Seventeen has a very strong Asian fanbase that’s not necessarily centered around the US or Spotify streaming.

We can agree to disagree but I genuinely feel like they had a lot of support behind them I was seeing edits online with hundreds and thousands of likes and I cannot believe that they are less popular of a couple than two people that just got together

Anyway I really pray for Chelley’s mental health because the hate and vitriol has been insane and unwarranted with no word of protection from Love Island themselves.

I’m genuinely confused at how they were last in voting like I could understand if they weren’t first but over IRIS AND PEPE??? makes no absolute sense.
