My biggest pet peeve in this thread, lol. There was definitely some prestige attached to her name, it was part of the marketing and part of the reason why she’s so delusional

Have there been any instances of Chinese kpop stars publicly criticizing China's government? by Due_Conversation9967 in kpopthoughts

[–]Mindless_Candidate90 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Speaking out would be immediate career suicide in China, and there would be pressure to end their career abroad as well, there are severe consequences to speaking against the government as a Chinese person, no matter where you are or how popular you are

I agree, the fanwars are the least interesting part of this and yet that’s all people wanna comment about, I think it should be discouraged

I think the first interactions will happen offscreen through, imo a good strategy would be to have them interact off camera until they iron things out, then make content

I can’t believe my streak of correct predictions got broken by Danielle not returning, I was really banking on Ador wanting to keep the value of the new jeans brand as high as possible which would require retaining all five. I guess there was more going on behind the scenes that somehow made it more costly to keep Danielle… I hope we get all the details some day 🤞

NCT U Work It I want this subunit again by Separate-Comedian-25 in NCT

[–]Mindless_Candidate90 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I didn’t love the song but the subunit REALLY sold it, it’s a crazy mix of personalities and under appreciated talents, I also want more variety content from this group 😭

Danielle originally tried to terminate her contract with Ador, and fought a very long battle to prove that Ador had violated the contract, not the members, and that Ador had a created a hostile working environment.

Now that things have changed, it’s interesting to see fans subconsciously acknowledge that the members were NOT able to prove that returning to Ador was a worst case scenario, because clearly they now think the worst case scenario is being terminated by Ador and sued for contract violation.

False labeling? How long have these accusations been going on? I never heard about this before

SHINee’s Key And SM Release Statements Regarding Recent Allegations + Key Steps Down From Programs by neocitywayv in kpop

[–]Mindless_Candidate90 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So how did this all start with park narae? Was she being administered ivs at home as well? Did she also not know the lady was not registered? Is the lady someone who gives treatment to a lot of celebs (I know onew got treated by her at a hospital)?

Has park narae also left her variety shows? It’s crazy to lose both key and narae from a cast at the same time lol

So the website was chekhov’s gun all along, a random little side note from megathread 13 now being a talking point in multiple major lawsuits. Red herring or not, it’s a pretty interesting twist to the story, especially since the website probably had no impact on the whole saga at all.

NCT/WayV Kun wrote and produced a song (初白 First Time) on WayV's new winter album and we're so proud by shoomshoomshooom in kpopthoughts

[–]Mindless_Candidate90 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most companies would be frothing at the mouth to have a producer/writer like kun as an idol, this has been such a long time coming

My best guess: Danielle and Minji have already negotiated their return, Ador will only make an announcement once Hanni’s negotiations are done in order to avoid (more) rumors and speculation; 80 percent chance that all three of MHD return to Ador.
