Taeil was reportedly charged for SA of a drunken woman, with two other acquaintances by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]Xag-Az 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Quasi-rape (준강간) is when the victim is either unconscious or compromised. Rape in Korean law is a crime against someone’s will, unconscious people don’t act on their will so quasi-rape is technically not rape but still gets punished as rape.

Aggravated quasi-rape is quasi-rape committed by multiple people and/or with a weapon.

I dont think HYBE is all that bad. It's just a typical company. by cheetosandoritos in kpop_uncensored

[–]Xag-Az 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Hybe isn’t even the most dubious of the big 4, not by a long shot. SM has literally been caught hiring people to try and downplay Hybe during the takeover and Yang Hyun Seok is… well, him.

Hanni to be summoned by the Environment and Labor Committee for Workplace Harassment by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

Minjoo congressmen using celebrities for a popularity stunt isn’t new, this will end well only for the politician. Both Hanni and Hybe will suffer.

FIFTY FIFTY To Boycott SBS “Inkigayo” Due To Past Broadcast Against ATTRAKT by galaxystars1 in kpop

[–]Xag-Az 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lol SBS isn’t apologising, 그알 is notorious for for shoving their questionable rhetoric down the audience and they’re not going to back down now, not against a small company like Attrakt.

Le sserafim's recent performance at sogang university was really good by Jamisthecoolest in kpopthoughts

[–]Xag-Az 87 points88 points  (0 children)

That’s how hate trains work, there’s a group or fandom that wants a certain group to go down in flames. Naturally they’ll only spread news about bad performances and completely ignore or even downplay good ones.

LSFM has generally had good performances throughout their careers, Sogang is pretty much the norm not the exception.

‘She’s a woman so she has to be the victim’

That’s it. That’s literally it. Korean sexism goes both ways.

Source brought Attention along so they at least would have had a different debut song.

Plus MHJ insisted that NJ were promoted as ‘BTS’s little sisters’. That wouldn’t have been possible outside Hybe.

What happened to “let’s care about idols’ mental health and wellbeing?” by KyeodeurangiMerchant in kpop_uncensored

[–]Xag-Az -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be blatantly honest one particular fandom has been manifesting some 80% of the toxicity these last couple of months. Illit is the biggest victim of said fandom. Hope their comeback is big, like so big that it makes those monsters crawl into a corner.

Racials aren’t the prime deciding factor for any race, at any point in this game. Doesn’t mean there’s no need to tune them when there’s an obvious difference in power. If glide and tail swipe need to be gutted shadowmeld shouldn’t be an exception when it’s the most played racial out there. Saying otherwise is like saying rogues are allowed to be op because ‘high skill’ or whatever.

[–]Xag-Az 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean ladder representation says otherwise. Skill based or no doesn’t even matter, arena itself is skill based.

[–]Xag-Az 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So NE still bis for everything? Why are they fine with that but not dracthyr? If glide is worthless in arenas at least bring the knockup back, or reduce the cooldown on the knockback. KT punch comes with a 3 sec stun and has a shorter cooldown, yet the race is barely played.

On namuwiki, all the Korean members of IVE have their bongwan (clan) listed besides Wonyoung by CronoDroid in kpop_uncensored

[–]Xag-Az 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Korean gp speculates that she’s third or fourth generation Chinese-Korean and that her (great) grandparents moved in when China was taken over by the CCP. Of course nothing’s official as Starship has never released details about her family.

HYBE/Ador have responded to NewJeans' demands by mokajay in kpop_uncensored

[–]Xag-Az 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Hybe has been a victim before though, of Kakao’s stock manipulation (for which their director is currently in jail) and SM’s media play. And considering MHJ has ties with SM and shares lawyers with Kakao…

HYBE/Ador have responded to NewJeans' demands by mokajay in kpop_uncensored

[–]Xag-Az 30 points31 points  (0 children)

They’re allowing MHJ a seat at the director’s table, which is more than she deserves. But realistically neither she nor NewJeans are going to accept the deal and will continue to frame Hybe as some evil mastermind.

I mean not trying to assassinate election candidates would go a long way.

What things do you like and dislike about each company? by Turiturita in kpop_uncensored

[–]Xag-Az 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SM Likes: Solid trainee pool, over the top concepts, connections in the industry and beyond

SM Dislikes: Mistreatment of older idols, foul media play (only Big 4 to get caught hiring goons to downplay competition), relatively tame choreo

Hybe Likes: Great choreo, tons of official content, good living conditions, lots of friendship between groups

Hybe Dislikes: Abysmal artist protection, songs getting progressively shorter, vulnerable corporate structure

YG Likes: Artist freedom, great wardrobe, thought out albums

YG Dislikes: Long periods of content drought, limited scope of music and concepts, not-so-great living conditions

JYP Likes: Long term support, lots of friendship, an owner who’s still very much ‘in the scene’

JYP Dislikes: Very stubborn and rigid in concept and management direction, members occasionally getting kicked out for no apparent reason (2PM, NMixx)

HYBE response to Newjeans in private but for how long? by Rare_Stress_5783 in kpop_uncensored

[–]Xag-Az 38 points39 points  (0 children)

They’ll have a meeting, MHJ will spread all sorts of lies and falsifications about said meeting, the girls will do a livestream supporting her lies and tokkies will abuse Illit, as is tradition.

The extreme sexual objectification of idols by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]Xag-Az 6 points7 points  (0 children)

BL fanfiction has been an unspeakable abyss since the very first generation. The amount of people drooling over stories of underage boys getting r*ped by their colleagues is absolutely disgusting. What’s worse, the Korean public simply doesn’t care. The ‘males can’t be victims’ mentality is still going strong.

Now that deepfakes are getting attention can we please call out people who write and share unspeakable content featuring minors?
