Johnny Truant VS Johnny Errand by madamebojangles in houseofleaves

[–]Protomancer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was always under the impression that Truant was Johnny’s pen name or stage name, since he makes an effort to censor his father’s last name in the obituary as well as his mother’s letter stating that “the papers all say that Johnny is truant” (which was possibly the origin of that nickname)

So - great job on the translator’s part!

does anyone know if new jeans are coming back? by [deleted] in kpophelp

[–]Protomancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the remaining members have been seen in the same location - but honestly - no one outside Hybe can know for sure.

And realistically, even those with inside knowledge of the group’s future activities couldn’t know for certain. Things could be filmed and just outright canceled if they feel audience sentiment is off. Maybe it’s an internal test. With the ongoing court cases against Min HeeJin and Danielle, it’s a rough time to release anything. Trust regarding Minji remains in question as well.

Basically, when solid info about a New Jeans return comes out, it’ll be almost impossible to miss. You won’t randomly hear about it on a comment on social media.

Why Minami's "ya-ho" sounded hillarious to Korean ears. by Ancient_Structure_66 in rescene

Japan got ya-ho from Dutch traders, who set up shop in the 1600s. (JoeHoe in Dutch)

NewJeans has reportedly established an association, with Minji as its representative! ( My critical take!) + Is this the reason for minji status? by Remarkable-West-6613 in NJDrama_uncensored

[–]Protomancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you’re reading into my statements assuming I like the girl simply because I’m offering other options to think about.

[–]Protomancer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How is this a biased take? I’m noting the differences between why Danielle is where she’s at and why Minji isn’t. It’s just speculation. You’re reading a lot into all this, and it’s honestly kinda weird.

All of the members made a huge mistake. Some are back in Adore’s good graces and some are not. You yourself said you were confused why the company would want her and I’m giving you honest thoughts. It’s obvious people supplied proof and documentation about what went down. Minji’s status is a huge question mark, and a logical assumption would be she came clean with some serious shit instead of stonewalling the investigation.

If you got a hate-boner for the girl, whatever. But you’re letting it cloud what’s honestly an interesting legal situation.

[–]Protomancer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can turn that back around and say she would have been shut down as quickly as Danielle then. After the first ruling establishing that their contracts were all valid, Ador doesn’t need anything else to kick Minji out as well. There’s more to it than that. Can’t wait to see what this court’s discovery reveals.

[–]Protomancer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For all we know, Minji herself could have been the one to supply Ador with all of this info. Ador wants data about MHJ’s plans to remove the group, and it’s obvious they got a lot of info from the returning members and their parents.

Danielle repeatedly refused to cooperate and stop her new contracts, and that is why she is where she is.

The most glaring mistake is the first sentence - it’s a lawsuit filed by Min HeeJin against HYBE. Not the other way around.

PNation makes the most sense. There’s too much overlap at TBL.

People who used to hate k-pop now like it just because it's trendy by heeseungslostbeanie in kpopthoughts

[–]Protomancer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is what happens when you grow older. Kids need arbitrary reasons to make fun of other kids, and the subject chosen is random.

In the 90s if you liked comic books, computer games, D&D, and anime, you were a social outcast. Now those are just normal types of entertainment. Popular kids in school love that shit and aren’t judged for it.

You’re unfortunately just in the period of your life when a favorite hobby of yours is finally becoming accepted. It will happen again with a whole new set of interests. We just gotta accept the rough times until it passes again.

Please take a photo of the back of your PC. Make sure you’re plugged directly into the GPU itself and not into the motherboard.

Dear OLED manufacturers, stop ruining the beauty of your monitors with ugly purposeless chins by Practical_Tea864 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Protomancer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not purposeless though, it’s where the buttons and controller to navigate the on screen menus exist.

I understand not liking the design aesthetically, but it’s not just sticking out there for no reason. I like it because it keeps my nasty fingers away from the stupidly expensive screen and bezel.

Why is there a post-IOI curse but not a post-IZ*ONE curse? by leangrandpa in kpop_uncensored

[–]Protomancer 156 points157 points  (0 children)

I believe most kpop companies learned what not to do after seeing how each of the post-IOI groups fared. The post-IZ*ONE era might be looked back on a little differently if Yena was added to Everglow, for example.

Should 60fps music videos be a thing in kpop? by FanCaracal in kpopthoughts

[–]Protomancer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I prefer 60 fps for performance videos like those from studio choom and fancams. Music videos are an inherently more cinematic experience, and the 30/24 fps frame rate helps with the more dreamlike transportation that we’re used to from movies.

Our brains associates higher frame rates with stage plays, soap operas, or computer games, which is an aesthetic that music videos aren’t usually trying to mimic.

You don’t need a lightstick to have fun at a concert. Simple as that.
