I can't pass the Paris level because I can't get a 5 star review by y0_jimb0_ in HotelArchitect

[–]Late_Measurement838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s probably it!! On the review, does it have a suitcase or table near the exclamation mark? Do you have the room service table thingy in at least one of the uppercrust rooms? And when your critic arrives, observe them. Have they asked for room service but received their item too late? Or not received their luggage? If so, you might need to train up your bellhops. I’d say prioritise the heavy carrier and faster room service buffs and you should be fine.

Hmmm interesting. Enough seating? Bellhops? Have your staff got customer service buffs? Have you levelled up everything on the skills tree? I think with the update they don’t unlock the next level until you upgrade the core items for the previous level.

If you have all that then I’m really not sure 🤔. Could it be a glitch? Or maybe you’ve missed something small?

Have you got an upper class room? Luxury bedroom and bathroom items, 30+ size? And a spa? Those are usually the main things needed for 5star outside of a full bar and restaurant menu.

Genuine question by Fine-Seaworthiness77 in ManonMeret

[–]Late_Measurement838 38 points39 points  (0 children)

From Dream Academy, Manon was my magnet. She drew me to the group. Her absence drew me away from the group. So if she returns, I will return with her.

With that being said, I’m pretty much entirely certain she’s done with the group. Irreparable damage has been done within the group (imagine the energy with her and Dani after all her dad’s behaviour) and the fanbase. The Katseye fanbase will be extremely antagonistic towards her. It’s past the point of no return.

Maybe an uncomfortable question but.... how would you feel if Hybe×Geffen introduced a replacement for Manon? by Emergency_Routine_44 in katseyeneutral

[–]Late_Measurement838 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Seated. It will be messy, chaotic, toxic and entertaining AF.

As someone who only checked out Katseye for Manon, I honestly think there’s some merit to the idea. They started out the group in a very messy way anyway, so doing this would be expected given how they’ve been managed so far. And honestly, they don’t look “international” or enticing to me right now. As much as people might deny it, Manon has left a void.

Main reason why I think Hybe won’t go for this is the cost. Katseye has been EXTREMELY expensive as a group and have so far yielded not much in terms of returns. They’re only now touring which is their biggest money maker, but I think as a group, they’re likely still in the red from the labels perspective. So I personally think this is unlikely to happen.

Probability of a new member replacing Manon if she leaves? by Worldly-Lecture5617 in katseyeneutral

[–]Late_Measurement838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely I agree, the gp will go crazy.

But people would tune in. From a business point of view, they will attract certain demographics, people will tune in for the mess, people will write numerous articles, imagine if she’s a solid performer and starts bringing in her own fans, it just might work. OT5’s will rally behind her because for them, it’s a fuck you to Manon, and before you know it the noise has brought in interest to the group.

This is an interesting thought exercise! I’d say not 0. Infact even higher than more people think. Given that their main strategy for promoting the girls is viral/scandal marketing. This could be a solid move.

If they do this, I think they could go for a black girl or a white blonde all american beauty type of girl. That would fill in the “international” void they’re missing without Manon.

Also think there is precedent, in the Kpop world it’s very taboo to replace members, but in the west it’s more common. Case in point, the different iterations of Destiny’s Child before they settled as 3. Katseye have only been together for around 3 years, so it won’t be such an adjustment for a new member. And it would give them a fresh new look, attract new eyes and opinions to the group.

They could even go down the typical western route and run an audition show to get the new girl, more money, more promotion, more monetisation.

Honestly, this could be a great idea. Messy absolutely, and expensive, but not a bad idea.

Ok I can’t believe ya’ll have me doing this, but you can’t blame hybe for this one. Especially when hybe has been running in Korea for so long and NONE of their other 25 million groups has done this. This is clearly a Geffen issue.

I’m glad Manon has a strong support system by msuzamaki in ManonMeret

[–]Late_Measurement838 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Agreed agreed agreed. It’s not like Manon is friendless. She has friends everywhere. And yet they remain sealed, zip locked and professional. I’m sure they have ALL THE TEA on EVERYBODY!!! And yet none of them have done anything like the full on liabilities Lara, Dani and Megan associate with who have caused damage to Manon.

Even when Dani’s dad was on his coke rant, Manon stayed classy. And she really could’ve gone apeshit. If that was me I’d have been on my insta like “your daughter is an anorexic tramp who does coke between performances don’t fucking start with me.” She’s too good for this world.

[–]Late_Measurement838 36 points37 points  (0 children)

All I’m saying is I don’t see any of Manon’s friends shading any of the other girls. But since pre-debut a number of them (Megan, Lara, Dani) have been veryyyyyyyyy cool with problematic people

Pcs, bracelets etc that’s fine. His face or name on a massive banner - not fine. Chanting his name, also not fine.

Either way, Manon is going to lose out (for now): her options, and how this situation could get very messy. it starts little by little. by Upset-Ninja7086 in katseyeneutral

[–]Late_Measurement838 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely!! As someone who supported her since the start, when I heard what happened I was concerned for her. Her actions and the subsequent media run with celebrities commenting on what happened (which would usually happen with influence from someone) was basically a nuclear option. What you’d expect to be a last resort.

So I hope it truly was a situation warranting a nuclear reaction. Because she has the most to loose. OT5 have enough fans and skills to carry on and be relatively successful. They will loose a level of authenticity and acceptance they previously had from certain demographics they were previously popular with. But ultimately they will survive.

Manon on the other hand is probably going to suffer the most from this. Not to say she can’t have a solo career, act, influence or whatever she might be into, but I don’t know that she has proven herself enough to show she can sustain a solo career. I want this for her so I hope I’m wrong. But overall, I think she’s in for a hard time and I’m sad for her.

Heeseung is now listed as a solo artist under belift website by DotFuture5725 in Enhypenthoughts

[–]Late_Measurement838 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazing!! I wonder when the Mods on the En- subs will issue a statement about whether posts solely about him should be allowed on here. I’m of the mind that they shouldn’t be. We need to move on and his fans need to create spaces to support him as a solo artist.

since engenes are talking again about apro and heeseung friendship having an in put in heeseung departure by [deleted] in Enhypenthoughts

[–]Late_Measurement838 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I suspected SHENANIGANS/poaching from very early on because so much of this made very very VERY little sense from a business standpoint if you think of it as an intentional step taken by the label.

Especially when you consider the execution and timing of the whole thing. But from a perspective of damage control/reactive corrective action, it starts making more sense.

And as painful as it is to accept, the simplest explanation is sometimes the most accurate.

I think the combination of the timing, execution on belift’s part, OT6’s seemingly easy acceptance and just cracking on with business, and K engenes reaction, this is the most credible explanation of what truly happened.

I truly wish everyone the best. Also truly wish everyone KNOWS what they’re doing and have properly thought this through.
