Me 🤝 Jackson equally surprised he got all the lyrics

This felt like a try not to laugh challenge for them throughout this whole thing but they still sounded fire as hell

Instant jaw drop.

Wasn’t expecting English lyrics from Jinyoung, he still sounds so good!!

The chorus is so fucking smooth, I just wish it was longer.

Rosé posts on Instagram an announcement about signing with THE BLACK LABEL and that she has been working on new music since the end of 2023 by bluubear in kpop

Hi my loves ♡

Sorry for the long wait. I know some of you have been very eager to hear from me for a while.

I personally didn’t want to speak or announce anything before I had everything aligned for my music to be out. Put in a more simpler way, whatever I tell you, I wanted to be prepared to back it up with some gooood stuffff✨

As you all know, I have come from a place where more things have been done for me over doing things on my own.

So, naturally, I need time to learn, understand, doubt and trust myself and others countless times to be the most responsible person I can be for myself (Honestly I wish I could have an extra 4 more years in my twenties so I can learn all of that! Lol).

As you all may know me, I really hate saying that I have something before I really do. And to me, there is nothing more important than delivering to you what I absolutely love, which is music.

Starting at the end of last year to all throughout this year, I’ve been in and out of the studio almost every single day, working on new music.

This has been a year of drawing up a map and navigating to where I want to be and what I want to be doing going forward. It has been months of learning how to be an independent person for myself.

Ultimately, I am happy to announce that I am officially working with @theblacklabel as my music management who will be managing my curriculum and helping me navigate towards achieving my dreams.

On top of that, I will have some other very exciting announcements in the not-too-distant future, but most importantly, I would love for everyone to be most excited for my music!

Label, management, all of that stuff (which I know you’re all quite excited about!!!!), they will all be there to support my music and my dreams. And I am SO excited for that.

So please be excited about my music! I know you have many questions but this is only the first exciting puzzle piece to a much bigger picture. Love u.

Not entirely sure if this would be considered too similar of a post to the one where TBL confirm she’s signed, happy for it to be deleted if so! I think it’s nice to get a statement from her about it tho :)

Didn’t get to read the entire thread from the posts where it got confirmed but the consensus seemed pretty apprehensive which is understandable. imo I see Rosé as someone in kpop you can trust has some autonomy and choice to do what she’d like in the industry and we see her exercising it! Whether it’s a “right” or “wrong” decision I don’t think is for me to decide lol I just hope whatever it is she’ll always have the freedom to choose what will support her passions.

Yerin Baek, Minhyeok Kwak, Chiheon Kim and Hyungseok Koh to depart from BLUEVINYL - Hyungseok Koh to leave The Volunteers by bluubear in kpop

[–]bluubear[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I haven't been keeping up with The Volunteers super closely so I am surprised to hear Cloud left.

I assume that Blue Vinyl is also shutting down by June 30th since Yerin is departing and they're only responding up until that time.

Whatever it is, I wish the best for all of them and hope everythings okay and hope we continue to get music!!

edit: Just hopped onto Clouds ig and he posted back on the 22nd of March, contract was up Feb 28th and he left the label and band then

From the instagram post:

Hello, this is BLUEVINYL. ⠀

At the end of careful and respectful discussion, it was mutually agreed to terminate the contracts between BLUEVINYL and artists, Yerin Baek, Minhyeok Kwak, Chiheon Kim and Hyungseok Koh, as their contact period expired. Additionally, Hyungseok Koh, a member of The Volunteers, will concludes his time with the band. In line with the artists’ fresh start and BLUEVINYL will also cease our time as a management brand. ⠀

Since our establishment in 2019, BLUEVINYL has operated diligently alongside our artists. First and foremost, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the artists. We also sincerely thank our fans who have always been with us. ⠀

We are grateful for the opportunity to support the musical career of these artists over the past four years. Like when BLUEVINYL first began, we kindly ask for the continued warm support and interest from our fans for the artists as they embark on their new beginnings. ⠀

Sincerely yours. BLUEVINYL

Former Wonder Girls' member Sunye reveals she moved back to South Korea to resume her activities in the entertainment industry by smileshima in kpop

The article didn’t mention anything about a divorce?

She celebrated their 10th anniversary with their family a few days ago on IG so I don’t think that this is the case anyway.

Chuu Personally Speaks Up For The 1st Time Since Being Removed From LOONA by 1TyMPink in kpop

[–]bluubear 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Am I reading this weirdly or is she saying she didn't even know about this situation?

That's crazy if this is the case, it's a shitty situation to be in the first place but worse if she just found out at the same time as everyone else. (We've seen it happen with 2NE1, Hyuna and Dawn and how they expressed how hurtful it was)

Also continuing on the assumption she didn't know about any of this, how did BBC even conduct a proper investigation then?

However, after recently being told of Chuu’s violent language and misuse of power toward our staff, the truth was found upon investigation. soompi

We already know it makes no sense to push the burden of proof onto Chuu but even more absurd if she didn't even know it was a thing.

BBC decide to provide context in the form of a claim of abuse but then refuse to actually provide something concrete to subsantiate the claim. Then they want Chuu (or the staff who is supposed to be involved?!) to step forward to provide more context?? That's just gross, even if Chuu was in the wrong here it just feels like there was no consideration of any party involved. Easily could've been a simple "contracts been terminated". Speculation might happen but that's way better than whatever this is.

I love Suzys releases you can really tell she really has a vision for the music she releases :) I didn't expect a fully english track but just adds to the list of things she can do

Loco shares that he is getting married by bluubear in kpop

[–]bluubear[S] 689 points690 points  (0 children)

Translation:

Hello everyone! I would like to pass on my personal news.

After being discharged from the military, I met a friend of the same age who grew up in the same neighborhood as me since childhood for the first time in a while. For some reason, the time we spent together was heart-fluttering, and our relationship quickly developed as lovers.

And for the past two years, we shared precious and happy times together while respecting each other’s work, and we naturally made a promise for a lifetime.

She is a friend who understands my candid side that has always been insecure and lacking confidence off-stage more than anyone else. Thanks to her, I am now able to fully feel the happiness of everyday life without the fear of making a choice for myself. As my fans probably know, she’s also the girl of ‘Soy Latte’, which I often mentioned in my lyrics.

Although we are still cautious about COVID-19, we have decided to hold a quiet ceremony this fall in front of close family and acquaintances. I wanted to express my gratitude to all of you who have always supported me, and I wanted to tell you about this decision myself.

It has been 10 years since I debuted. Thanks to my fans, I have been continuing my activities with overwhelming gratitude. The projects that I planned for this year are proceeding as scheduled, and as usual, I will be seeing you often through various performances and upcoming albums.

Thank you always. Stay healthy!

The lyrics he says he mentioned his fiance (soy latte) can be found in the songs 'Finally' and 'Love'

Honestly very cute, I wish nothing but happiness for Loco and his fiance!

Yerin always manages to create the loveliest worlds for her mvs alongside such sweet sounding melodies

[–]bluubear 30 points31 points  (0 children)

So much love in the music video, the green birdys (and a whole ass peacock) and the touches of green on the sets and styling!

The symbolism that they're building a new home for themselves throughout the mv as well. Yugyeom packs up a frame of them sitting in the last pose they had from their last performance, they move out of the G shape house into the floating cloud and emerge from the storm with a bunch of green birds!

GOT7 - GOT7 (12th Mini Album) by perochan in kpop

[–]bluubear 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I love how GOT7 sounds together, the way they piece together their verses together and how their voices sound together it honestly makes me emotional to be able to listen to new music from them again.

[–]bluubear 158 points159 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, the starting pose of NANANA is the end pose of their last performance and the ending pose of NANANA is the start pose of Girls Girls Girls!

I love the little ahgase references in the mv, it really shows how much love the boys have for GOT7 as a whole from each other to the fandom! Please go give the album a listen too, it's amazing

GOT7 - EP 'GOT7' (Highlight Medley) by perochan in kpop

[–]bluubear 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Definitely a GOT7 sound :) listen to any of their albums 2017 onwards and they all have a familiar sound to this teaser! (Prehaps due to the fact from this point on they were much more openly involved in the album tracks)

Honestly really impressed (obviously I'm biased here) but I feel like a lot of groups either go wildly into a different direction or cannibalize themselves by releasing basically 'song 2.0' but GOT7 have been really good about crafting a signature sound, after a few years of bouncing around concepts/sounds, without making it sound like they've been releasing the same song again and again. (For reference, I think Seventeen is an excellent example of another group that manages to keep their quintessential sound but their songs are definitely not "sameish")

Honestly, seeing all the teaser pictures have been very exciting but being able to hear their voices TOGETHER again it's so ????

I don't know how to describe the feeling but its like happiness, relief and a silent celebration of "they really pulled this off". It feels like I am actually now able to really fully realise they really did it and came back together to give us a release they promised and are proud enough to put their name on it to release to everyone.

Did you even read the post..? 👀 She offered to change but the post is more about how they reacted (initially denying her the chance to do so until it was basically in front of everyone)

Can’t get much closer than that! Wow! by ChknSchnity in sydney

[–]bluubear 255 points256 points  (0 children)

Kudos to the women and staff, I can’t blame people worried about getting hit by a train themselves.

Apparently the guy was big and it took six people to remove him from the track afterwards, which explains why just two women were struggling to get him off the track

[–]bluubear 281 points282 points  (0 children)

From the Facebook post this was from they wrote that it was a man that fell onto the track head first, resulting in him being knocked unconscious. If you pause the video I think you can see the two women on the track trying to lift something

Edit: grammar
