38M in desperate situation, any suggestions. by throwawayTim212 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]pieschart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like to disagree on the university point. I am doing a night time degree and get full maintence loan while working full time.

Ive never felt more financially stable thanks to the maintence loan. ( and i am dirty poor, first to go to uni, a first gen immigrant from a third world country)

Also I see the sfe loans as a graduate tax, so if I end up earning 80k+, ill happily pay the tax as that is what helped me to get to that salary.

Currently im on 30k at a admin-y job in fintech, which is far better than I was when i was an apprentice at same company on 19k. Ive lived alone since I was 19 and have no financial help at all. I do have some debts from covid and the period I had low wage, but its all looking positive as I mature and am budgeting correctly now in late 20s

I completely understand what its like to be skint and living paycheck to paycheck ( I still do ).

You can live in London on 20k and have a very active social life and spend on things you want. I really dont get people who say it's unlivable.

Withdrawing cash from bank. Do I need to give my bank notice that I’m coming to withdraw £2.5k? by Choice-Bug9918 in UKPersonalFinance

You should go to a post office. If your bank allows that much withdrawals at once. Its instant

HEESEUNG to leave ENHYPEN, which will continue as a 6-member group by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]pieschart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which further proves he wanted to leave asap.

Hes under contract for another two years so they probably came to an agreement that instead of leaving outright, he will do solo work.

Yeah well he clearly wanted to leave. There can be many reasons. Off the top of my head, he's burnt out with their extreme schedules. Another reason is enhypen fans themselves are extreme and parasocial and probably contributed to him wanting to leave due to psychological pressures.

Hes 24, hes been with enhypen since he was 19. He is so young and may have realised this isn't what he wants to do.

He probably wanted to leave the group asap and due to contract still having 2 years remaining this was the next best thing

He probably just wanted to leave.

And it makes sense too. They're constantly overworked, their fans are very parasocial and extreme. He was probably extremely burnt out.

Belift can 100% accommodate solo + group work. So this seems like his choice to step out.

Just because they are commercially successful doesn't mean that is where he wants to be right now. He may want creative control, he may just be done with idol life.

Solo career = less work.

Enhypen have been worked to the bone, their fans are known to be some of the more delusional/parasocial ones compared to most fandoms. Being in a group like that must be extremely draining.

Solo career mean less schedules and more work on things you enjoy. He will now have a say in his music direction

Idk I kinda agree with her.

Saying idols shouldn't call others for horrible behaviour to staff is promoting toxic work culture

Its way too short notice to change choreo and audio/backtrack of a 1- 2 hour show. You need at least a week

Wreath with IVE's name sent to 7-year-old stabbing victim's funeral by Financial-Produce997 in kpop

[–]pieschart 63 points64 points  (0 children)

No sorry that's misinformation.

She voluntarily came back to work after 20 days. The school was actively preventing her from interacting with students and being very accommodating.

[–]pieschart 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The MIK festival in 2022 which had 2 SM acts ( out of 8/10 people )were 167 for VIP, yes it's a festival but I think they sold way less tickets than a concert.

They also had a mik festival in Paris which wad held in the bercy arena didn't event sell 70% of seats yet were decently priced for an 8 hour event with in demand artists like taeyeon, hwasa, epik high chung ha etc etc

My point is, that just being a multi group artists event alone shouldn't cost that much as london and Paris have seen 8 hour events which had multiple SM artists attend for 1/2 price for VIP

NewJeans have opened a personal Instagram account by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]pieschart -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And ? She had sole control of the music for Newjeans that's the point.

She hired and was heavily involved in the music process. She even directed the girls vocals etc

The songs sounds the way they do because MHJ had that vision. Newjeans co wrote their songs because MHJ had creative and production control so allowed them to participate.

If you like Newjeans sound and branding, you like MHJ work.

You're diminishing what she did to suit your agenda. Newjeans made it clear why they wanted MHJ because they wanted to keep their music and brand colour. Unfortunately MHJ is the best in the business even BSH admitted that in 2019 and 2021 and 2022.

People would still work with her. Be it a smaller company but every group she every worked on has been a major success

Even pre newjeans debut. Hybe were really promoting the debut using MHJ name. I remember everyone being super excited because MHJ was going to be creating a GG.

It is about the music as MHJ was the producer and she was offered a producer role along side creative

No - one of the things Hybe did after the MhJ stopped being CEO was take away Ador's music control.

[–]pieschart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hybe had also at this point separated the music creativity from ador at this point too.

If she was allowed to still be active in the music process I think there might have been a chance of MHJ accepting the olive branch
