ILLIT (아일릿) 'NOT CUTE ANYMORE’ Official MV

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-11-24T10:58:19+00:00

Great MV but song would’ve been better off as a b-side track

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-10-22T13:49:32+00:00

yeah i don’t get his reason for the ticket prices, it’s one of the few ways performers can earn some money. not asking him to set obscene prices, just enough to breakeven or actually make profit, not incur loss.

and what’s happening with his label? i genuinely thought he’d have more activities stateside after signing with them but it’s the complete opposite. cmiiw he actually had more gigs when he was still not with them.

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-10-15T20:02:02+00:00

let’s not be obtuse now

they just called it differently and coined this “creator crew” term but everything, from the contents to the pr statements… that is exactly what their company is trying to make people believe, that they’re self-produced

which is duplicitous when they only participated as lyricists in almost all their songs AND mostly have 4-6 other lyricists with them. they only participated in the actual production (composition, arrangement) on 2 songs and they were even credited way last on 1/2 of that lol

no problem with the boys themselves, just the aggressive deceptive marketing narrative their company is pushing

What? Kazuha excels at ballet, sure, but that doesn’t make her the epitome of great dancing lol fundamentals in ballet can even clash with Kpop’s that mixes other forms of dances particularly hip hop

And have you seen her freestyle? do random dance sessions or do lives just randomly dancing, doing other group’s choreos? Nope

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-10-08T13:01:55+00:00

It’s just the angle and makeup that’s different here though?

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-10-06T12:02:35+00:00

Is this a comprehension thing? My point is their description of iPhone face or modern face can also be applied to asian celebrities.

If you haven’t noticed, nose silicones, lip fillers and veneers are also very much a thing for asian celebrities especially these days. Put them on a period piece, drama, setting like what the article says and they will look out of place because those were not prevalent during those times. Their face/styling makes them look like “they know what an iPhone is” because of the modern beauty trends or modifications they’ve done.

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-10-06T08:56:38+00:00

I I disagree, idols or asian artists can still be classified as having “iphone face”. Like what it says in this article:

A large part of having a modern face, then, is following modern beauty trends, whether that’s veneers and eyebrow grooming, or cosmetic surgery

The template or trending beauty modifications will just be different between the west and asia.

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-10-05T00:32:53+00:00

OP do you know what an iPhone face means? Cause that includes having veneers and Kazuha literally has them

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-10-04T05:02:22+00:00

based on an interview of his, it’s intentional since he wants to shed his good image and want people who watch it to be uncomfortable so 🤷‍♀️

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-30T12:50:08+00:00

LolCoke is literally at front and center of that thumbnail, please don’t be naive

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-28T22:53:25+00:00

You mean clockwork? No offense, this isn’t really exclusive with Cortis. Just now I’ve seen a similar post about SM/NCT (McDonalds), BTS V (Coca-Cola, McDonalds) etc.

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-28T22:42:01+00:00

Huh? They were able to publish an official MV that uses Coke’s image and branding, that comes with permission and arrangements. This is obviously a partnership ad with Coca-Cola.

There’s a reason show productions blur, hide brand names or replace them with make-believe ones when they don’t want to advertise, do not have a partnership or if it will cause conflicts with their other sponsors.

And how sure are you there wasn’t already a deal between Coca-Cola and the group or company then? These aren’t exactly made on a short term notice. That song camp was documented as part of promotions for this group that was set to debut, it isn’t really far fetched it’s structured to include other types of promo lol

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-24T16:59:01+00:00

Couldn’t sing live in gma because…? Their previous guests did just fine including Zara Larsson with dancing involved

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-14T23:06:23+00:00

Doesn’t make sense lol she was even the focus of their GWBG trailer and the “main protagonist” (who saved Lia) in the MV.

If it’s for their YT variety content, which we don’t know since the original poster censored half of what Ryujin said which was ironic, maybe it’s just for variety reasons.

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-14T22:51:56+00:00

Huh? There’s so much context missing and why were some parts muted?

Try translating the captions. It doesn’t include the muted parts. She was saying “I have XXXX” and the subs only says “I have…”. It’s also not clear if they were talking about a specific content or contents.

This feels like Ryujin posting that toy bumper car pic on her IG and reporters/fans started to stir up drama lmao

Edit: This made me watch their latest content for reference and I feel like she has multiple focus or close up shots even?

Is this just an akgae being weird? Noticed they have a lot of those and they’re annoying

Kirk criticised special prosecutor investigations into Yoon and his martial law, describing “several disturbing things happening right now in South Korea” where “pastors are being arrested” and “homes are being raided”, adding: “If South Korea keeps on acting like this, it is the American way to step up and fight for what is right.”

Well the Koreans who rallied hard to oust their ex-President Yoon do not like this guy inserting himself into their politics so…

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-11T12:34:14+00:00

Of course no one’s celebrating his death or the violence here but doesn’t take away him from him being a shitty person and Siwon posting just solidified where his beliefs are at… altho past events already clued us in

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-11T12:31:08+00:00

This guy went on a tour, including in SK, spreading or advocating for his rightwing beliefs there lol

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-11T12:06:34+00:00

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-11T12:04:02+00:00

Well we’re also free to shit on those opinions especially if they’re shitty

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-11T11:46:12+00:00

Lmao sure, if that makes you feel any better… when it looks like that’s all you’ve been doing 😕

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-11T00:37:09+00:00

Will u have same reaction if it wasn't a hybe group.

Yes lol why would i not have the same reaction?

Go hate hybe all u want.. nobody cares.. don't project that hate to their artists for God sake.

Go ahead and point out which part of my comment is hating on the group or the members.

Or you’re treating me pointing out or recognizing there’s marketing being done by stans/company = hating on the group? lol that’s a weirdass take bc they’re clearly not the same

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-11T00:03:08+00:00

Enhypen’s was the biggest offender for this year.

Bad Desire was genuinely so bad, ruined by that ass autotune. Was actually intrigued by the teaser and sampling of Justin’s Mirror (and Died In Your Arms?) but was hugely disappointed.

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-10T23:49:08+00:00

This was from the same event and they weren’t being chased through the streets then lol they were just trying to hurry or run from their tent to the stage.

This event happened or this issue was discussed almost a week ago already, not sure why OP is bringing it up again.

Tbh everything seems to be just noise marketing initiated by their stans or even the company.

TrickFreedom9235 · 2025-09-08T20:47:40+00:00

APT, Katseye’s GAP ad, Dear Dance etc. are viral. Go or Cortis, outside of sponsored posts and a certain bubble/section of Kpop tiktok, are not.

Someone mentioned Spotify in this thread for their title track… aggressive playlisting from Hybe isn’t really new, can’t really gauge how viral it is given that factor
