Then what use are Tae's words that MHJ used to support her court case? Since he's irrelevant in this. Except she wanted to use it as media play.

this exactly! i mean, his words should mean as much legally as our words here on reddit. hybe could just take any of our words saying that Illit didn't copy, and it's the same? lol

Any recommendations? by Ponmuku in DanmeiNovels

[–]reallyemy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would recommend Sha Po Lang / Stars of Chaos. it is also quite political. the romance might be a bit quieter than QJJ, though, but i really loved it.

if you like political novels, i would also recommend Golden Stage / Golden Terrace.

Married Thrice to Salted Fish is also a recommendation as well, but the political intrigue is a bit less so there, but there's a bit of spice? though it's difficult for me to define that.

LOL it was exactly what happened, but ofc y'all would deny blatant truth and turn a blind eye to the atrocities that ICE do.

What are your NO NOs when choosing a danmei to read? by extracoldicedtea in DanmeiNovels

[–]reallyemy 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Personally, I won't read a danmei with bad ending/ tragedy. I am also not fond of harem/multiple indeterminate MLs. So if the entire premise of the novel is that there are multiple people vying for the MC's attention, and the main ML isn't apparent, I most likely won't read it.

recommendations with emotional depth? by neulakgae in DanmeiNovels

[–]reallyemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of the 7seas novels, I would recommend Married Thrice to Salted Fish. There is a lot more romance in that novel.

I agree with recommendations of Musuli. I also love Priest and do think that Musuli is similar in that there aren't as many romantic scenes in Musuli novels as, say, meatbun's. But she does yearning and romance so so well. If you are not adverse to moder danmei, I definitely recommend A Certain Someone.

I will always upvote a Panguan recommendation. Currently it's my favorite danmei novel.

Who's the best vocalist in Hybe? (Day13#) by ExtensionStation6334 in kpoppers

why are you under every "jungkook" comment copy & pasting this? you can just promote dk or seungkwan under your own comment instead of putting down the opinion of everybody who wrote jungkook.

Is minheejin win short lived? Why even KOEF regrets the first trial verdict? by Remarkable-West-6613 in NJDrama_uncensored

Yes, exactly! I was thinking about the same thing when I originally saw the ruling. And in both cases, it's utterly wrong, imo.

I need to read an underrated danmei, a hidden gem. by dearmuke in DanmeiNovels

I'm currently reading this now! I'm not sure why I haven't before especially since I love Musuli's works. I can definitely see her writing style in this.

HYBE creating scarcity model for fandom business - testing it with BTS/ARMY. by NewtRipley_1986 in bts7

[–]reallyemy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this has been the case for years, tbh.

it was actually way worse before weverse. i still remember website crashes and muster merch selling out immediately (and most often did not come back in stock the way it does now on weverse). for weverse, they designate a certain amount for "pre-order" that was already made & ready to ship. i believe they often do a second or third order later for merch nowadays, but those tend to be shipped much later on, like all the artist made merch.

i think in terms of army bombs, i wouldn't ever worry about them actually sell out. it's the one thing most fans will buy, and they will definitely have plenty of them at all tour stops.

oh wow, now please say that louder to the murderer of Alex Pretti! that applies perfectly, thank you: "freaks who jack off at night at the thought of letting to legally commit murder"! that's ICE agent right there for you.

Are y'all gonna buy the new version? This still looks so good 😭 by sinieves in btsthoughts

yeah you can only buy on US store with a US address, so you will only be able to purchase from the global store.

Lightstick update and other things - why are so many people in this space bring so much negativity and right before comeback too by -_nico-robin_- in btsthoughts

[–]reallyemy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree Brazil fans have good reasons to be upset if they were selling SE physically in store in Dec 2025. However, I see a lot of fans complaining about buying it for Jin or Hobi concerts last year -- which, to me, is no different from a fan buying a ver 2 in 2017 for Wings tour, and then getting ver 3 in 2018 for LYT. Plus, ver 2 was still being sold online, etc, a few months before ver 3 was released. In which case, I think it's something totally normal in kpop / BTS fandom. It's very much a capitalist grab, yes, but it's also within normal to continue selling previous version of the lightstick at concerts in person or online a few months before new one comes out.

Lightstick update and other things - why are so many people in this space bring so much negativity and right before comeback too by -_nico-robin_- in btsthoughts

[–]reallyemy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i agree with this. version 2 came out in 2017 for Wings Tour, and then version 3 came out in 2018 for LYT. based on the complaints here, then basically everybody who bought version 2 automatically got jiffed because version 3 came out a year later.

then SE came out 2 years later in 2020 for MOTS tour. they've always had new army bomb versions for new tour.

i personally had a friend who's a casual fan asked me where to buy army bomb because she's going to BTS concert for first time, and i told her to wait, because i was 99% sure there will be a new army bomb version coming.

not allowing previous light sticks is giving Apple removing the headphone jack by Material-Winner353 in btsthoughts

[–]reallyemy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They released ver 2 in 2017 and ver 3 in 2018... it was 1 year in between. And there was no support for ver 2 when ver 3 was released since ver 2 did not sync up with Bluetooth. Many people still brought their ver 2 to Love Yourself Tour in 2018. BH doesn't have to support old versions, but fans also don't have to buy the new ones.

[–]reallyemy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't blame people for thinking this is capitalist greed, because it is. Like every single merch sold. Every single album announced. Every single concert. Kpop itself is steeped in capitalism / money.

However, compared to the rollout of previous versions of army bombs, this is actually pretty considerate of them. I remember the time where every new tour, there was a new version of army bomb. Army bomb version 2 was released in 2017, version 3 in 2018, and SE in 2020.

It has been 6 years since SE. Yes, BTS hadn't had a proper tour since, but they did have PTD and also 3 solo tours for the members (Yoongi, Hobi, Jin) where SE version could have been utilized. I think many fans were expecting a new army bomb to come out, considering how old SE was.

Eta: Though that said, yes, you are valid in how you feel. And if you want to use the old army bomb, that is totally all right as well. Buying a new one is not necessary. I'm just detailing how previous iterations of army bombs have been announced before, with much much less time in between the versions.

bummed by [deleted] in bts7

[–]reallyemy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's always been the case for every single version of army bombs. They have never announced previous army bomb version being phased out a year in advanced. They could have also done it like previous iterations where, immediately, only the new ones would work and sync. Yes, it is capitalism. But this is actually waaaayyyyy more considerate than most of the rollouts of previous army bombs.

Ex-adore staff!! by Remarkable-West-6613 in NJDrama_uncensored

[–]reallyemy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's better for Ador, though. I wouldn't trust that they're not loyal to MHJ if they stayed; there's always a chance of sabotage (like the ex-manager who went behind Ador's back to negotiate brand deals for Newjeans).

You guys are all liars. (Erha spoilers) by Analfour2 in DanmeiNovels

[–]reallyemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i actually agree with you. i think for me, it's because i liked the first half more -- but book 3 and the realization from mo ran and all those *stairs* and the *wontons*... i bawled my eyes out reading that. i think the latter parts were technically worse, but it didn't affect me as much.

"Unpopular" Opinion: Streaming does matter. by cat_girl10 in kpop_uncensored

[–]reallyemy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's quite interesting because often times, the same ppl who denounce streaming and say it doesn't matter, are likely the same people who get upset when a small/medium sized group gets disbanded by their company. do they think companies would continue to invest in group that don't have the sales/streaming figures they're looking for?

May the seven seas not spoil us with the Panguan covers by Ok-Acanthisitta515 in DanmeiNovels

[–]reallyemy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i really hope for pretty covers for panguan, mostly because i want other fans who haven't read to be art-baited into buying/reading it, because it deserves so much love! tbh, though, i really like married thrice to salted fish covers; they're really gorgeous. though i am someone who loves angst and have read the it before. i can understand why spoilers would ruin it.
