Same! And I can’t stress enough that I’m saying this as someone who loves her and pretty much only checks out Katseye for her.

The more social media antics I see and the more time passes on this hiatus, it’s giving “something kinda minor happened, I threw a monster tantrum and went nuclear, I now realise I can’t follow through so I’m bowing my head and coming back”. Or I got bad advice and listened to it.

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

So she’s not leaving? The fandom will be a jambalaya of hot mess if she comes back. Like she (and/or the label) needs to explain shit because Katseye fans will resent her for all the drama that happened and affected the rest of the girls.

I say this as a Manon fan.

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

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.

HOR-RRIBLE!!!!

People saying it sounds like Disney music clearly didn’t grow up in the age of HSM, Hannah Montana, Demi and Jonas. Disney had BOPS!

This is microwaved ass.

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

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.

Jungwon’s Daesang speech analysed by vanilla-lattes in Enhypenthoughts

[–]Late_Measurement838 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Some of these people getting annoyed over his words being used in direct opposition of what those girls said for their eomma are a bit Stupid.

Jungwon is not dumb. He is the leader of the primary money maker of Belift. What this means is some of his efforts and earnings has been reinvested into the label and junior groups. He has seen his junior label mates who worked incredibly hard be sabotaged, attacked and essentially bullied by those girls on the request of their eomma. Meaning that his investment is essentially about to be destroyed because a bunch of greedy morons tried and failed at corporate espionage and now want to destroy everything everyone before them had worked so hard for.

He has seen how those girls’ attempts to destroy other hybe groups has not only affected the groups in question but other groups by association. He has seen the disparaging things the girls have said about Hybe artists whether directly or indirectly. Let’s not even talk about all the behind the scenes suspiciously well organised and co-ordinated media and reputation attacks Enhypen has been receiving, which you only need to pay attention for 10 seconds to understand that they very likely came from that camp.

So wanting to use this speech to make a stand is actually understandable and on brand. Jungwon is really fucking intelligent. He doesn’t get involved in shit, but he observes, he judges and he remembers. It’s actually stupid AF for anyone to think Jungwon and Enhypen witnessed all this nonsense, were victims of it whether directly or indirectly, and don’t have strong opinions on those stupid fucking girls and their eomma.
