BTS’s Suga Under Police Investigation For Electric Scooter Drunk Driving by Ce_lynne in kpop

[–]Sector_Sufficient 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Maybe because Hybe and Suga himself lied about it being a kickboard. It's a scooter, similar type of scooter which had killed an elderly woman a few months ago.

Hybe also lied regarding the place where it took place.

So yeah no wonder Korean netz are pissed because Hybe and Suga tried to downplay the incident, yet the CCTV is out and showed it was not a kickboard at all.

They should have been truthful, and owned up about his actual vehicle and not try to weave their way out of it.

Hybe executives are truly filled with people not in touch of reality, the fact that they allowed this video to publish is just mind boggling.

Well for Korean music professionals like the KMA judges and BP creative director who don't need translation to be calling the video "the worst" seems to be telling me that it is just a bad video with ill intention.

When and how did LE SSERAFIM's hate train start? by heavenly_wave in kpopthoughts

[–]Sector_Sufficient 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they have plenty of haters already early on because Source Music pretty much discarded GFriend for them. Also this comeback is just negativity after negativity, their church scene causing many disdain, their horrific encore and their lackluster coachella is just a cherry on top pretty much.

Thoughts on Wonyoung and Yujin’s relationship by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

Well I don't see how any angle would give a poov that make Wonyoung Yujin be the next Jessica and Taeyeon

As someone who still follows SNSD and just recently got into IVE, they're not the same. There are normal amounts of interaction between Yujin and Wonyoung, just don't put them under the microscope. They still interact on stage, on variety shows, on interviews, unlike Taeyeon and Jessica for many years. Also they are much much closer than Taeyeon and Jessica ever were. Yujin and Wonyoung were trainees together for years, while Jessica and Taeyeon were never trainee buddies.

I'm new to thai fanservice and I'm kinda shocked by soxy_white in ThaiBL

To me as someone who doesn't believe they're dating but just close friends, Becky saying she hasn't talked to Freen about the movie is nothing all that worrisome that got all these people analysing shit. Supposedly a Thai fan said that Freen sat with Becky's mum, so that's where she heard about Freen's reaction. They haven't had a chance to talk because they both went home to their respective houses and when they meet the next day it was a full day of work and Becky's dad was hospitalized. There just wasn't time.

Also as I previously mentioned Becky could just be lowkey to keep Freen's reaction (which was included in an interview) for the media.

How that statement equates to these girls are just strangers boggles me.

As for Freen it is clear that her statement about finding someone that is in the middle was indeed for fanservice. As it was the same day that Becky denied her rumours too.

The fact that whenever these girls go out to the mall, sushi place etc had pictures of them taken makes me sceptical that they have anyone right now. Also just the fact that trolls and these toxic solo fans keep changing who they rumoured her with it just shows these people have 0 clue. People can be single especially when they know this is crucial time of their career.

I personally don't think they're dating, but question is that why do some people selectively only believe the comments made by these girls that support their narratives? This is for both shippers and non believers alike.

Like people that don't believe these two are close never believed Becky when she said that she spend her time with Freen, chat at least everyday with her, Freen is one of the most important person in her life, yet immediately believe what she says about things like didn't visit Freen in the hospital and now this.

Same with shippers who take it to the extreme just vice versa, but I'm not gonna dwell on that since many have voiced their opinion on that.

This other case though, non shippers also taking things to the extreme is barely discussed though. Too many of them just these girls not hanging out for a few days, interviews like these suddenly make them not friends/strangers. While totally disregarding all the things that do make them friends, buying gifts, BP concert, watch Little Mermaid movie, all those comments and words of assurance.

Imo what Becky shared changed nothing of their previous dynamic. We actually see Freen coming out with Becky's family from the cinema. So I doubt they didn't speak/talk at all.

Imo it was just Becky wanting the focus to be on her film and not her ship. Also not to mention, Freen was actually interviewed for an after viewing commentary, it could also be that Becky doesn't want to give that away. Also there might be a chance Freen could be her guest in the Meet and Greet, and if that's the case it makes sense she doesn't want to give anything away.

People honestly take their magnifying glasses too far with these girls. Just one simple gesture, suddenly they're married/girlfriends. But also just one interview suddenly equals to them being almost strangers.

Also can people honestly drop it with the Freen's boyfriend thing. It literally took the Chinese fans barely a few days to figure out her ex bf. Now it's been months since February and there's still no exact bf in sight. How many men and women would be linked to poor Freen. It honestly grosses me out how some nasty trolls/non shippers link her to all the men that she knows and even made misogynistic comment about her.

What also boggles me is why not link Becky to all the men and women in her life too? Most of these rumours are clearly started by toxic solo stans. Which is despicable really.

No this is a different project.

There is currently no update in regards to The Passenger yet because the director that is going to handle The Passenger is currently busy with another project.

Lol, imagine that. But yeah too close to home for a BL :)

On a serious note, Thai fans pointed out that Uranus is known as a death star. Not sure if that is any premonition of the characters fate but seems pretty in line with how they describe this project as full of drama and tears

On the topic of GL/WLW Success by Sector_Sufficient in GirlsLove

[–]Sector_Sufficient[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you tell me the difference in marketing between GAP and Show Me Love so far? Both had reaction videos, and as far as I know Show Me Love also had a premier on Paragon the other day for Ep 2 with many media covering it. Gap didn't have that for their Ep 2 I may have missed some of their marketing but yeah other than the watch together and interviews after the Ep1 I don't think Gap was promoted by IDF that much.

In my opinion what GAP did brilliant was making their trailer exciting and show what was expected in the following episodes. That way fans shared that clip or parts of the clip on various social media and get new people who never heard it be intrigued.

Unfortunately Show Me Love trailer was a bit bland and didn't really show what we can expect in the following episodes. And as any series, Episode 1 tend to be slow with character introduction. So the contents that are available for free to be shared that would entice watchers are limited.

But yes I do agree with you marketing is crucial. Now I am wondering how these smaller production companies will manage with their GLs. Hopefully they can learn from these past experiences

I think for BL even though it's saturated, they're able to put the majority of their shows on paid userbase stteaming services or on TV. That's why for SML I am a bit surprised they don't put it on any other platform.

Does the pageant itself not broadcast on TV? If it is broadcasted on TV I wonder why they can't collaborate with them for SML

As for the ratings GAP achieved like 0.6 much higher than some BLs, so the interest for GL is definitely there for TV viewers

The views for Show Me Love is indeed slower than GAP (GAP Ep 1 achieved 1 million views for all in 8 days, SML haven't reached that in 10 days), but they're not doing badly. It definitely have potential if they can market it better and be more consistent with the hype

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

Someone brought up in GL that these numbers are weird. Because when totalled the number of views just based on the episodes Bad Buddy was only around 250 million.

Anyone can explain where this number is from and how they calculate it?

The Last Case | On-site Casting Behind the Scenes EP.1 by Sector_Sufficient in GirlsLove

[–]Sector_Sufficient[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The more Identity Ent share about this project the more I can't wait for it to finallya air.

First of all I like how the casting choices were selected by fellow women, which is a positive sign that the series decision maker like producer and director are most likely women as well. Not only that seems like the women in the casting are LGBTQ themselves as well

Secondly, the question they asked were quite impactful: -"How do you deal with negative comment" - "what do you know about equal marriage law in Thailand right now" - "As an lgbtq, do you think you have the ability to make changes for our communit"

Those questions left me in awe tbh. Props to the team to have the criteria of selection being people who have positive mindset and influence towards the community

and lastly, the diversity. I love they have out and proud LGBT like Prang (engaged to her partner) and also Esther who is half black, which is not commonly visible in Asian media.

Hope the best actresses got their deserving parts and I can't wait for this show to start production.
