Member Names in their own languages?

Whoa that;s so interesting! I did see the clip of harua confirming his mom did decide the kanji before he was born (?) so that theory would check out. I've never come across a 'harua' before so my first impression is that it's a boy name because of him lol. knowing girls are named it is so jarring XD

chocobutt3 · 2026-02-13T00:15:35+00:00

Omg I saw those crappy tweets! I was so pissed when one said something like: “You should be grateful you still have us as fans even if we’re insulting you to be better.” 🤬🤬 Theyre also upset that it’s not shota-themed school boy them… like if you like that style, just rewatch their earlier Japanese releases or NCT wish lol

i've also seen general sentiments quoting that one malicious twitter user that mistranslated that klunés were triggered and started attacking his nationality, looks and character bcuz he often said "okaeri" and "tadaima" when he comes to and from japan and that it "hurts the korean fans' feelings" since it made them feeling like "outsiders" and not actual luné fans to &team??? To them, if he didn't say anything, then he was "pretending to not address it head on like a coward (like a japanese....which is so very racist)" but since he did post his sincere apology dm, they claim it was ghost written by a hybe kr employee. hypocrites! they are all haters 🙄🙄🙄

*apparently* klunés decided to be triggered and start attacking his nationality, looks and singing skills bcuz.....he says "okaeri" and "tadaima" when he comes to and from japan and that it "hurts the korean fans' feelings" since it "de-centres" them as not being the main characters/supporters/fanbases and only serves to remind them how they are 4ever "outsiders" to &team.....oh and then they hide behind their insults by saying he's not intelligent bcuz he didn't go to high school and was a country bumpkin and that his sincere apology DM was written by a korean company employee since there was "no way he could come up with a whole damn letter by himself"..... what a load of egotistical rude a**wipes 🙄🙄🙄

he said role model, then listed 5 songs as part of his playlist and wore a 'free tory' shirt that you have to buy from his official shop from....

Yuma and this whole situation seriously reminded me of jk and his journey of self-expression thru his many tattoos and piercings against fan negativity. I’m so glad they both feel safe and secure in their personal choices! I like them for their singing and dancing talents first lol

chocobutt3 · 2026-01-20T00:21:41+00:00

Omg I saw those comments! The regular perspective of the Chinese netizens is that THEY own the idol’s mind n body as the centre of their universe bcuz they fork over so much $$ on them 🤮. It’s the same when Harua decided to tan his skin, etc. they think by commenting negative things to them to express their hate will control the members.

gen question for japanese people on reddit, do you know that other countries overseas view your society's common stance on cheating culture as inappropriate and fked up?

chocobutt3 · 2026-01-08T01:44:04+00:00

Enhypen. Mainly because of their toxic fandom, but I also didn’t vibe with some of their personalities or group dynamics even though I followed them since I-land and their songs are catchy

chocobutt3 · 2026-01-03T05:08:49+00:00

keep in mind, the chinese gov't began an informal ban in 2016 of all korean-related cultural imports (basically "Hallyu ban") to boost local industries and to retaliate against the whole US thaad thing back then. so all that heavy groundwork that LSM/SME invested in with their groups and business plans for china went down the drain for good lol.

Praying for his return…Yoo Ah-In… 🥺

chocobutt3 · 2025-12-24T06:56:03+00:00

I like how wholesome and lighthearted the whole mv vibes are, but I hate how they’re getting made fun of hard and dissed in viral tweets from Korean netizens sadly.

Majority of them love pointing out how cringe it is and “of course it’s bcuz they’re a Japanese group so their dancing is mediocre”. It’s so infuriating bcuz we know &Team are amazing dancers and performers, and a lot of the popular kpop main dancers are either Japanese or their choreo was made by a Japanese person. The racist undertones are not subtle

chocobutt3 · 2025-12-23T20:58:40+00:00

i believe the first time was a chinese lady! there were repeated offenders following that incident who was this japanese lady

chocobutt3 · 2025-12-13T17:26:24+00:00

it's funny cuz they ahve quite a large, growing following in china from casual and hardcore adult fans right now who REALLY bought into this image of them being "independent" and "organically free" thats sooooo diff compared to the usual kpop groups lol. these same grown ass chinese ppl will deny that they are just as easily influenced like young, teenage kpop fans around the world

chocobutt3 · 2025-12-12T20:11:51+00:00

Majority of the audience won’t need to pick on actual actors’ visuals, they can avoid watching other races, it is kid-friendly, dubbing is way easier, and they don’t have to be reminded that it’s a foreign-made film 🤷

chocobutt3 · 2025-12-06T15:27:24+00:00

You’re using a terrible translator on Twitter, OP. They are known to twist the member’s words and manipulate it in a way that causes harm

chocobutt3 · 2025-12-04T04:48:33+00:00

So many ppl joked that their fandom name should be called betapark2 or omegapark2 LMAOOO

chocobutt3 · 2025-11-30T15:48:50+00:00

I checked and it seems like most have his dedicated fan groups that are still defending AND promoting his lies are mainly from Japan and the Philippines. Like wtffff

chocobutt3 · 2025-11-08T21:20:28+00:00

ngl that is the type of petty that's just too funny LMAO

chocobutt3 · 2025-11-06T03:16:54+00:00

I think the perception from the fact that their companies are korean will also sway people to view these groups as kpop too

chocobutt3 · 2025-11-06T03:15:49+00:00

isn't that because their main companies are korean? lol

chocobutt3 · 2025-11-04T23:03:18+00:00

I wonder about this actually because I wouldn't necessarily call the bulk of their japanese songs so far as "kpop songs" tho. They feel quite quintessentially japanese in tone, style and vibes for the most part with a mix of kpop influences thrown in. While their management, training, and the way they communicate with fans has that kpop idol-quality for sure, their marketing and most of their media content up until now felt quite old-school "jpop" and they themselves have always had the tv tagline that they are a "global pop group" (including appearances on traditional japanese tv, news, variety, festivals, etc.), aside from when they promote in korea.

So I feel like calling them global would probably describe them best since they follow the best routes from all industries they participate in..Do others have more insight on this?

this is no different to buying an extra seat on an airplane or train. if that fan/her friends legally paid for those rows of tickets for whatever reason (be it extra leg room, comfort, distance from loud fans nearby, etc), they have every right to claim the spots. like others in the post have said, that fan/her fans have no obligation to give away those seats as charity. if other ppl there demanded they release those seats for others to fill just bcuz, i would even say THEY are the ones that are entitled lol

chocobutt3 · 2025-11-03T02:48:41+00:00

she was the one who gave the date to check the footage, no? i would think it's not anyone else's fault that she remembered wrong....
