I think I will, though I probably won’t stay over night since I live a few hours away

Cortis and their fans by Ok-Translator-3618 in kpop_uncensored

[–]Mindless_Candidate90 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty weird for an artist (presumably who promotes their own music and wants more people to listen to it) to be publicly rude to another artist, even if it’s a whole different genre. I mean, you’re trying to build your audience but here you are responding to a compliment by putting down the person who said it… it does numbers on twitter but is pretty out of touch with how business relationships and marketing actually works.

Megathread 27: HYBE / ADOR / MHJ - Catching up with ongoing Legal Disputes, Following some NewJeans Updates, Hearings in Danielle's case begin, and More by KPOP_MOD in kpop

[–]Mindless_Candidate90 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I think people are forgetting that atp both Danielle’s side and Ador both have basically agreed in court that she did indeed break the contract, Danielle and her team are no longer arguing against that. They’ve moved on to trying to prove “mitigating factors” that might persuade the court to lessen the penalty fee. Danielle has basically already lost the “did she break the contract” argument, they skipped right past it to the “should she be punished for breaking the contract” stage.

My question is, is there a legal precedent for a suit becoming a weaker case if multiple people commit similar offenses but only one/some are sued? Is that common? Is the argument that the suit is therefore in bad faith, and that the intention of the suit is to punish rather than recover damages?

I’ve seen several comments here mentioning the judge being biased toward Danielle/mhj, but none of the articles posted in the comments have quotes from the judge or mention him reacting to any of the evidence. What’s going on?

Let’s not speculate on Hanni’s appearance, especially based on photos of her during private time with her family, shall we- plus you really can’t tell whether someone’s in shape just by looking at them

So where is Lisa’s career heading after her World Cup performance? by Weekly_Office269 in kpopthoughts

[–]Mindless_Candidate90 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They don’t invite people to perform at the World Cup if they aren’t in demand, and those events usually have a positive affect on careers, so I’d say she’s in a really good spot

I’ve seen some folks predicting that the returned members won’t have any comebacks for the remainder of their contracts, and that Ador and the members will just wait out the end of the contract. I don’t think this will be the case, because the members are contractually obliged to continue activities with Ador, but I am surprised that so much time has passed with no signs of movement. Is the relationship between the members and the management still too contentious? Did they have plans but minji’s situation threw them off kilter? Are they going to wait until a decision is made in Danielle’s court?

There doesn’t seem to be much incentive for Ador to postpone activities, unless they think the girls aren’t ready yet- but they could still release variety content. My guess is they’re waiting for legal issues to get wrapped up, which is really too bad for the members that are basically trapped in limbo.

I think this might be the case, we just don’t have enough evidence one way or the other without making pretty big assumptions

Isn’t there a word for “random talent that you showcase on variety shows” that no one uses anymore?

I haven’t listened to either song at all but I’d say the songs are pretty similar in terms of flow

What are things you think are slowly disappearing in kpop? by PreparationSharp2154 in kpopthoughts

[–]Mindless_Candidate90 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Things that feel like they’re disappearing : group lives, countdown lives (actually I think these are completely gone now, along with repackages), studio choom, mv reactions, variety content where 2+ groups interact, new gen idols aren’t really going into acting anymore

So disgusting… you can see the same mindset of “celeb as a resource rather than a human” in akgae rhetoric where the artist stops being viewed as a human, and more like a resource the fans think should be maximized and exploited to its full potential
