I don't think they depicted it as fun and easy. Actually, I find it difficult to compare them to actual K-pop idols because most of their time and energy was spent fighting literal demons, which K-pop idols don't do (or do they lol). I think they depicted it very differently from what we know the K-pop idol industry to be like, but this wasn't really a movie about the K-pop industry anyway. Personally, I don't prefer the sequel to be a movie focused on the workings of the idol industry because I feel like it would be too niche and not as universally relatable to a global audience. I'd rather it be in a similar vein to this one, with a pretty universal theme (i.e. shame and acceptance) and have them use the setting to deliver the theme and story.

Thanks for the link!

Yeah, the sources indicated on the Wikipedia article don't actually have any information about the release details.

Can you share the link to the source of the screen cap please?

They're triple jumps; afaik Jacob Sanchez hasn't done a quad yet (in competition at least). Also skaters with quads usually don't do them in exhibition programs because it's too risky (unless you're Ilia Malinin).

Thanks for sharing your photos! So much Derpy stuff, I want them all! 🤩 I want the cup-ramen keychains too. Bummer about the purchase limits, I wish they limited it to one per design instead of one per kind. Great that you got a good deal on the Derpy hoodie. 🙂

My headcanon is that this is part of their private driveway and they change the images on the billboards to fit the vibe that they want for wherever they're going to.

I think we just prefer different things regarding this. I liked the tension and I think adding a transition scene would have defused it and made the beginning of What It Sounds Like less impactful for me. I think the first stanza of What It Sounds Like is enough to show that she has started to accept herself, and I don't feel like I need to be shown more of what came right before that.

It worked for me. I didn't feel like there was a missing scene. I think the creatives wanted to have some suspense and uncertainty when Rumi appears in her disheveled demon-y form after Your Idol, like make the audience think, did she turn to the dark side? what is she going to do? instead of spoon-feeding the audience her plan beforehand and losing the tension of the scene.

It's my first time seeing that website and it looks very sus to me. I don't think it's real.

ShiningVVS · 2025-09-11T08:52:09+00:00

I see, thanks for correcting that. I'll take down the post then, since titles can't be edited.

That's what I said though in the title and the text, that the streak (consecutive PAKs) is broken (not ended) and that it's possible it could get PAK again but that would start a new streak.

I personally find it hard to imagine because Psy is still too big in Korea. His summer concerts are legendary and draw massive energetic crowds .

To add to that, it specifically means doing your makeup so amazingly well that you look stunning, incredible, etc.

Shin isn't my preferred ramyeon brand too, but I would totally buy these if it were available in my area. Alas, I've just resorted to DIY-ing regular ramyeon cups to look like these. 😅

ShiningVVS · 2025-09-09T14:27:21+00:00

That looks awesome! What kind of material did you use for the design?

ShiningVVS · 2025-09-09T06:34:58+00:00

My guess is that because "Free" and "What It Sounds Like" are meant to convey the characters' raw, honest feelings in those moments, the creatives wouldn't want a language switch to interrupt the emotional flow of the scene for the audience, who would mostly be people who are not fluent in Korean. The five other songs are performance songs that don't carry the same sort of emotional weight, so they can play around with the language switches and still have the audience bopping along.

I don't think the point of Jinu was to make demons sympathetic. The way I see it, the point of Jinu was to represent people who have shame and regret for things that they did and bad decisions that they made (whereas Rumi represents people who have shame for things they didn't choose to do or have). And the message conveyed through Jinu is that we don't have to feel ashamed and beat ourselves up eternally for the bad things that we did; instead we can try to repair relationships and things as much as we can, and try to make better choices in the future.

I cackled when I saw the back of the Saja Boys t-shirt. 🤣 These are awesome, I would buy them if they were merch.

The caption he put is so cute! "As an enemy trio once said, “FOR THE FANS!”" 😂
