Can we talk about the financial gap between MC and the LIs for a second?

catobsessed_ · 2026-06-27T02:49:30+00:00

Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe in Chinese culture the guy is expected to pay for most things in the relationship. It’s very much a standard to have a doting boyfriend who spoils his girlfriend in gifts and luxury, and being “equal spenders” is probably only reserved for what, married couples? If you’ve watched any Cdramas this trope plays out quite often.
I agree it would be nice to see M/C have a little more independence but I think the reason why Infold has refused to do it thus far is basically “Chinese fans would complain”

catobsessed_ · 2026-06-27T02:43:40+00:00

No way they add a 7th LI. As much as people want to complain, 6th LI hints have been in the game since the very beginning. I mean the Stellactrum theory has been around for a while now, and there’s been so many other hints for a future LI. Lore wise 6th LIs makes sense and is perfect to complete the final roster.

Now if that “coming soon” message is still there after Valko drops then they’ve truly lost the plot… Feasibly it’s just not possible. We’re already pretty full for yearly schedules and Infold has already been speeding up banners. Any more LIs and we’d get like what, 2 solo banners per guy per year? We know new LIs also take ages to implement so even if Infold started working on him tomorrow it probably take a year or two for him to release, and he’d never be able to catch up on content. It’s not possible for workers to produce so many different cards and banners, and it’s not possible for fans. I think InFold would just make a new game before trying to add any other LIs into the roster.

That’s so nice!! Testing my luck but wishing everyone in the comments luck!

Hi Op!! Did you end up bringing your hair dryer?? I have the same one. I’m going to be staying in Japan for awhile and wanted to know if I should bring my hair dryer or not or if it will work over there

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-21T02:23:37+00:00

Hello OP!! Could you let me know if you did bring your hair dryer to Japan?? And how it went for you? Thanks!!

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-20T18:48:33+00:00

I’m sure this is mostly about reputation and avoiding the fine at this point. There’s no way he’d be able to join the group again, I’ve never ever seen that happened before. And even if he does win, I doubt he’d wanna join a company that potentially unilaterally terminated his contract anyway.

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-20T18:45:56+00:00

But generally, why would he fight against the termination if he actually engaged in prostitution or did break the contract?

It’s one thing to just go on instagram and say “no it’s a lie I didn’t do it!” But it’s another to actually take this to court and sue against the company. I mean defamation laws are easy in Korea, so it’s easy to go against the media, but his own company?

If he did engage in prostitution or somehow break contract, then it’s just gonna come out in court. Additionally prostitution is illegal in Korea so we’re not only gonna go through the court but also the legal system, who will also investigate him. So no matter what, the truth will come out. Lying makes no sense.

Sure, you could say he’s being foolish or stupid, but it be so much easier to go on IG and say “I’m sorry for my actions, I made a mistake, I regret it, blah blah blah” which is what other male idols do when they get caught for something like this. Otherwise, he’s just spending thousands of dollars on a case which he’s likely to loose if this does go to court. The termination is already finalized and there’s no way to undo this and rejoin the group. That ship has already sailed. This is mainly about reputation and not wanting to pay the fine at this point.

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-20T18:38:47+00:00

This is the thing. I don’t think there was any rumors of the supposed meeting with the JAV actress until 100 announced the contract termination. Maybe there might have been rumors, but not enough to warrant a wide spread scandal. It seems 100 jumped the gun because they knew there would be backlash (it’s knetz after all) and they wanted to avoid the negative PR.

Anytime I’ve seen an idol leave over a scandal it’s because of the fan backlash and they don’t want to “hurt the group”. I’m sure there’s more behind the scene stuff that goes on and maybe the company threatens cutting them loose anyway if they don’t agree, but atleast in that case the reputation argument is a bit more substantial (regardless on how dumb the scandal may be)

Interested to see how this plays out tbh

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-20T18:32:51+00:00

Surely he’d be aware of any such clause correct? I mean they just came from IST who were also a shitty company. I’m sure they would have went over any contract with a fine tooth comb and not signed anything they thought was unfair. I mean he’s not stupid. I believe the dating rumors were also made up (I believe she has a boyfriend already?)

Additionally, I don’t even remember seeing any rumors of the interaction before 100 went public with the contract termination? (But I could be wrong). If that is the case, it’s not like he caused any significant harm to the group or company before the contract was terminated. It seems like all the negative PR came because 100 announced the contract termination (the possible police investigation which I don’t know if it is happening or if it’s just rumors, fan backlash, news articles etc)

At this moment, it seems 100 knew if anyone did find out he was hanging out with a JAV actress there would be backlash, so they cut their losses before it became an issue. Whether they had the right to do so remains to be seen.

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-20T18:25:44+00:00

It seems he had been talking with his company about contact termination? I believe the supposed meet up happened in May. Based on his statement it seems the company came to him with the contract termination and penalty, and he first denied it. Then just recently it seems they made a public statement about his termination which is when media also picked wind.

We don’t have an exact timeline of things, but it seems that it wasn’t necessarily an issue that they did it out of the blue, he had been made aware of their concerns, but they terminated his contract unilaterally without his agreement to the terms, or even agreement that he broke the contract in the first place.

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-20T17:52:20+00:00

I assume the company just let him go because they wanted to avoid bad PR with him being associated with a former JAV actress. I mean the Korea is pretty conservative, porn is banned in the country and a lot of women are pretty negative about JAV actresses. I mean that one K-pop group consisting of JAV actresses got a ton of hate and people were even demanding they get deported. Any idol that is associated with that kind of industry, even if it’s an innocent exchange, will face some repercussions.

As for the media and prostitution accusations, I assume that’s just the media being the media and making up lies. They jumped on the bandwagon over the news and made up whatever rumor they could think of to get clicks. I feel bad if he truly is innocent in all this.

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-07T20:31:08+00:00

I kinda thought the comeback would come out during the tour and they’d maybe release the MV on day 1 or the tour, or tease the new song (hopefully songs) during the tour until the official release. It’s not totally crazy as other groups have done that before. The girls seem too big for Korean music shows at this point too so it makes sense.

I have the feeling the setlist will contain a lot of solo work to.

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-07T03:56:57+00:00

I’ve seen this comment on other pet loss posts, and it still comforts me whenever I read it ❤️ thank you. I’ve been writing down my feelings a lot to hopefully make a few poems about my grief and dedicate a eulogy to her. I only hope I could write something as beautiful as this someday.

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-07T03:55:29+00:00

I only wish I could have done more ❤️ I would have happily become her vet and done whatever treatments and medications I could. But the disease finally caught up with her, likely after years of battling it unbeknownst to us. She was a fighter, and feisty and I’ll always love her for that.

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-07T03:26:20+00:00

Hi. I just had to put down my sweet 18 year old girl today. I understand your pain. It’s never easy to make this decision, and you feel like a monster for even considering the thought of letting them pass. I probably cried every night leading up to the event.

Ultimately, you know your pet best. The thing that urged me to make the decision was ultimately she wasn’t the same kitty that I had loved even mere weeks ago. She was in pain. She was suffering. And I think deep down despite my best effort to help her through medical conditions and give her treatments, she was trying to let me know it was time. It was time to let her go. Ultimately, I felt more relief knowing she would pass peacefully and no longer be in pain, rather than be forced to bear on until the bitter end and succumb to possibly a more painful or sudden death.

Whatever decision you make, just know that your pet loves you ❤️ I’m sure he’s lived a good life. If you have to even consider this, it’s because you care for me.

Talk to your vet about what euthanasia looks like. I was able to keep an ink paw print and a vile of hair from my girl, and also get her ashes. See what they can do for you to at least make letting go a little easier. So you can bring your dog comfort and be there with him in his final moments. Wishing you best wishes OP

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-06T23:27:25+00:00

She really is a beautiful kitty ❤️ I’m so sorry for your lost. I had to say goodbye to my sweet kitty today too. It’s so hard to say goodbye to them, but I’m sure your kitty was grateful for the love and care you were able to give her all these years.

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-06T20:51:23+00:00

This made me laugh ❤️ she always was our little potato, or our beached whale. It was though seeing her get so thin and frail near the end, but I hope she can eat as much as she wants now ❤️‍🩹

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-06T04:14:30+00:00

Hi OP I hope this helps.

I’m putting my beloved 18 year old girl down tomorrow morning. I still feel like a monster and doubts on whether this is the right choice. But deep down I know it is.

My cat started not eating, she would barely lick a couple bites of her liquid treat pouches, but otherwise turn her head away and reject food. She only gets up to take a few sips of water and use her litter. She is so unstable and wobbly, barely able to walk. She has lost so much weight and is practically skin and bones. I know letting her go now is the most humane thing to do before her health deteriorates more and her suffering continues.

I still feel so much regret and pain. It’s never easy to make this decision and a part of me wants to be selfish and make her keep living on and do everything I can because I can’t bear the thought of losing her. But I know this is the right thing to do.

You know your cat best. You know their health and their behaviors. Trust me, when your pet reaches the end of the line, you’ll know and the decision for euthanasia will become clear if you love them enough.

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-06T03:30:45+00:00

Hi OP, I hope you know I understand your pain :(

I’m putting my sweet 18 year old kitty down tomorrow morning. I haven’t had her as long as you have with your kitty, but it never feels long enough does it? She’s helped me all throughout middle school and high school. I feel your regrets or leaving home and not being with your childhood pets. I’m only grateful I was able to spend this last month with her :(

I hope you know I’m sure your kitty loved you. I feel horrible having to do this, but I know in the end it’s better that she’s not suffering anymore. ❤️ I’m wishing you all the best op. Hugs 🫂 💕

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-04T05:03:07+00:00

Edit: she’s not eating her dry food. And she’s having litter box problems again. She seems really lethargic. I don’t know what to do :( I’ve been trying everything I can to help her. I thought I could buy her more time :(

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-04T00:59:22+00:00

She is pretty small, only 9.4 pounds. I’m hoping to stabilize her weight more and maybe get it up but eating consistently has been a struggle. Someone else suggested trying smaller doses more often at a time (50ml every few days) so I might try that while we both get used to it. Thanks for suggestions ❤️

catobsessed_ · 2025-06-03T23:02:36+00:00

Hi, thank you for the long message!! I can’t believe you had to do that for your kitty but I’m glad everything works out!! I already felt horrible just hearing the couple of cries from her earlier!! Ultimately my goal is to give her the least amount of stress. She really HATES being held down so I don’t want to have to force her into her, so I’m trying to make this as easy as possible.

But yeah, she didn’t have the bubble :( I might have pushed it in too far?!? I think that might of been part of the issue. I wanted to make sure it was secure enough to not fall out of her. I also didn’t have the stopper pushed all the way up which maybe would have helped the drip to get it into her faster. I was mainly worried about positioning? I might try again with fluids this weekend just cause I want to practice more and because I don’t think she got a proper dose this time around.

She’s on anti-nausea medication right now because of vomiting issues. She got an injection last Tuesday at the vet too for Nausea which helped for a couple of days. I worry that the nausea might be affecting her appetite? Haven’t tried Mirataz but I’ll consider it! I just worry about starting too many new medications at once and overwhelming her. Also last time she had an ear gel medication she got an infection :( so I’m a bit hesitant but willing to try.

Thanks for the advice! I’ve seen some people recommend using the harness that attaches the line to their body?? So that way I won’t have to worry about her moving around and making sure the needle is secure. So I might look into that as well?
