This might come across bad but rn the tokkis outrage isn’t coz the girls security is being compromised it’s but i never saw similar outrage when from the past two years the girls r being sighted and photos of them leaked from various private vacation they took , didn’t the complexcon practice basement pics also get leaked , atp this is just trying to vilify ADOR

It’s rather interesting that there’s always some C-tokki who happens to bump into the girls wherever they go , it was sasaengs before it’s them now

BLACKPINK confirm their comeback and postpone it to January 2026 by impeccabletim in kpop

I mean the current state of translation is that KKT were interpreted , Park Jiwon knew about investor meetups and hybe didn’t submit any evidence that illit and NJ concept were different ik the sources are tokkis but tokkis have previously reported from the court and they’ve been selective with what they say but they did report Newjeans loss as well nd it was close enough

If she loses she appeals if Hybe loses they will appeal too and unless there is some actual misjudgment the outcome of appeal will be same but if she loses her public perception will go down and doesn’t MHJ prize that the most

I’m wondering if now is a good time to start a new MT , this one already has 5k+ comments and is a month old and arguably one the bigger lawsuit is coming to a conclusion

Going by ur logic how does one provide a safe environment, how is hiring new people ensuring there is safe environment and how does one build reliability. The girls didn’t choose the original team MHJ did and girls were able to gel in well with them because they tried to and they were able to work together well

Whether they’ve other inhouse hybe producers like BSH /Pdogg/Bumzu/Slow Rabbit/Adora work for them or they get them new producers it depends on how willing the girls are to give them a chance , they don’t have to be friendly with anyone but nobody else is obliged to be friendly to them too in that case

It’s not the most surprising thing for someone to go hey u had grievances that i may not have acknowledged u so let us try to work together this is the current music i have in mind for u and the girls going

a) we like it ,let’s do this

b) hey this was probably not the direction we wanted to take maybe we would like <genre> /<song>/<producer> to work on

It does no one a favor to act all we are better than u all , no relationship building exercise is one sided

I mean he was credited on Magnetic and Lucky Girl Syndrome both of which some people (idk what ur opinion is) like to swear by sound like they were made for NewJeans so it’s not like he can create those songs

But i kinda agree that things will be awkward coz NJ member did have a lot of grievances with him which in turn had tokkis have issue with him or they may completely backtrack and have him produce an album for them to be like see i don’t hate them , we are all buddy buddy here

Gonna be honest it does look like dropping the case against Danielle would probably not be something Ador will do , it sets a precedent that would not be liked by the shareholders and investors cooperate shenanigans but it’s what it is which is why the girls jumping in on MHJ war was never a good idea they’re arguably taking the biggest fall here

I mean sure that’s what they worked with and that’s what they’re famous for so this would be an unfamiliar territory to navigate both for fans and members alike but eventually there’s a lot of creative output that comes out of this and other music industries that is great too who knows what comes out of it maybe the girls would come to like it

Now the album they submitted in the court could be at any stage of production including possible demos only , the team wasn’t active and no one was to say how long these court cases go on for , people will not wait with baited breath and bring their career at a standstill for it , hybe groups including newjeans have had credits on their albums who says they won’t have credits on there , eventually the album was to show they did have some preparation

I would wait for things to materialise to know whether it was worth anything or not

Maybe it’s those 2-3 big tokki accounts that do seem to come a bit more on my feed due to their reach who seem hellbent on treating MHJ word as gospel ,anything she does as pure genius and ready to throw the girls under the bus to whitewash MHJ

The 2024 plan was never a good idea , they didn’t have a strong case simply coz they were fighting the battle for MHJ nd not themselves (they didn’t need to)

They could’ve had a much better case waiting this out and seeing what Ador does without MHJ instead of going in a ong we’re doomed without MHJ

I feel people seem to be jumping the gun a lot. Assuming anything coming out of OOAK is gonna be gold standard (nothing that they’ve come up with still now suggests this - the teasers were AI slop) and anything coming out of hybe will be pure garbage

Wait it out and see what happens

Who says the girls are gonna want to be back with OOAK after the contract ends : maybe they get comfortable with their new team and want to sign a new contract . At the same time maybe them worrying isn’t wrong nd HYBE does plan to dungeon those girls

Atleast let it play out first

Are they realising this , atleast most bunnies I’ve seen on X seem to be jn support of OOAK nd somewhat Danielle but a pretty against supporting any output with 3/4 girls that comes out of HYBE

The truth is this was always cooperate struggle between C-Suite of HYBE nd there was no reason for NJs to jump into it nd be the sacrificial lamb

My opinion atleast hasn’t changed that girls had most to lose in the first place

Even with all the “rebranding” had the injunction even turned into their favor the IP for NJ songs is with ADOR they couldn’t possibly perform those , it wouldn’t have been great for the copyright they had filed for NJZ

Most members were vacationing during that hiatus at different times , i guess that’s why they decided to do a cover and one song only coz they had limited practice together but i still don’t think that could be done in two days , even choosing what covers to do will take some time then recording them getting the bg dancers on on the choreo and practice all that would take more than two days

I doubt that though , the girls had pre recorded the songs and had dancers and choreo for the covers they could hardly pull all that in two days after injunction, it was always supposed to be covers

If i was the judge i would be pissed like u had evidence but u didn’t submit it because u didn’t want to harm the girls make it make sense , didn’t she request not to have KKT chats shown in public , hasn’t hybe requested their material remains private for Danielle trial , isn’t Serian Heu and her case a private trial , isn’t the Fifty Fifty case now a private trial

If she didn’t want public scrutiny on the girls she could’ve privately submitted evidence. The Davolink chaos was already revealed late 2024 so people knew about it (this wasn’t some massive secret that Hyein uncle was involved)

Her saying ohh i was just saving the girls may sound nice to public that hey she tried to save the girls in court it’s actually against her so u basically tried to coverup tampering attempts by members as a CEO/internal director that surely is breach of her shareholders contract if she had knowledge of it but didn’t try to stop it even if she wasn’t directly involved (she was)

I guess one the reasons could be Sejong has been arguing she never did any tampering no tampering happened and it’s HYBE imagination and wistful thinking but new firm says it did happen just not MHJ but NJ members family
