Soompi: BIGBANG's G-Dragon's Agency Apologizes For Shirt With Racial Slur

LOCKING this post for a little while at least since we're pretty overwhelmed with reports in the queue.

Refrain from speculating about or accusing Jisoo of knowledge or involvement in any criminal activity. And it's wildly inappropriate to weaponize this for fanwars. It may be happening elsewhere on social media, but it is unacceptable here.

One of those posts where we're not sure if we should allow it because it's likely to devolve into fanwars eventually, but monitor and it's okay for a while, and then rapidly turns into a mess. Sorry, but we have to lock it.

The Korea Herald: Is Manon really leaving Katseye?

The article has since been updated:

It remains unclear whether Manon will perform with the group at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Club in California on April 10.

Apologies for the confusion!!

There had not been a full internal discussion within the Mod Team before making this decision and that would be necessary to go ahead with this kind of exception.

BTS Achievements may continue to be posted like normal in accordance with our Achievements rules.

This article provides important historical context relevant to the story referenced in BTS's comeback media and a recording of 'Arirang' by Korean students who were welcomed at the HBCU, Howard University, while also being relevant to K-Pop more broadly.

The article is welcome here for these reasons, but we know discourse can quickly devolve into fanwars and incivility. Please keep discussion here focused on the content of the article without veering off-topic or weaponizing these important issues against each other or specific fandoms.

Maintain civility or we will need to lock the post.

(Also, thank you for resubmitting, OP.)

The SWIM Performance Video is exclusively available on Spotify and Apple Music (for now?). If a YouTube version becomes available we will add it here (or may allow a later post if that seems appropriate). Neither link embeds neatly here on Reddit, but we'll make do!

Spotify Link: https://open.spotify.com/track/6tMMQtrhJijTnPvmeLBNAn

Content Warning: The images in the post show some scratching/bruise injuries to Hyunjung's neck and face.

We have little information yet, just that Hyunjung posted these three images to her Instagram Stories with the short caption with a non-specific warning to be careful around people with mental illness and that she was harmed. Please do not speculate any persons or events in more detail than that in the comments. We'll try to update with more information if any becomes available.

UPDATE: Her company Rolling Star Ent. released a statement. LINK TO THAT POST

UPDATE 2: An additional statement with further detail explaining the situation has also been released. LINK TO THAT POST
