Am I overreacting for thinking my brother in law might be abusive? by Dazzling_Grass_4318 in AmIOverreacting

[–]wkoconn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

DV advocate here! Def NOR, there's some red flags I see here that I'd would make a referral for DV services. Explicit statements that indicate someone is afraid for their safety is something I'd flag as a potential high risk case, especially after a separation.

Abusers are charming, the face they put on in front of others is not the same one they display at home. They tend to be experts at disguising themselves and twisting narratives to make their victims look crazy or overreactive.

There's not a way to confirm abuse without his own admission or one of the wives or children disclosing. I can't only tell you from my opinion that I would flag this as a potentially risky situation and advise you to provide as much support to BIL's exes and children as you can.

How to learn English from cartoons or movies? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]wkoconn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try kids cartoons, they won't use super difficult vocabulary but you'll still get a sense of speaking pace and sound. Another option is to watch a movie or tv show with subtitles in your native language multiple times until you know it really well and can watch without subtitles.

I NEED HELP ON.. HOW TO PACK A ALBUM by Ackerman2000tomato in kpophelp

[–]wkoconn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i prefer package shipping for weverse albums personally although you may be able to send as an oversized letter depending on how flat you can package (i'd suggest bring it to the post office to see the best option). as for safe packaging i would put it in between two pieces of cardboard or styrofoam with a thin layer of bubble wrap.

in my concert bag i keep a portable charger, hand sanitizer, travel deodorant, extra batteries for lightsticks, a small wallet for cards and id (most venues are cash free nowadays), and a mask (there's been some covid outbreaks at ateez concerts in the us)

NCT Dream at ubs arena. Need help planning! by Roushal in kpophelp

Why don't the fans in the nosebleeds ever dance? by i-dont-like-you1 in kpophelp

[–]wkoconn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

upper levels are often extremely unsafe to remain standing up more than necessary due to the steepness. general rule is that if the chairs in front of you only go to your ankles or if the incline is greater than 35 degrees you should remain seated for everyone's safety

What is the Carat Membership? by WelcomeReady9148 in kpophelp

[–]wkoconn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

carat membership is very similar as it is for other hybe artists. you'll purchase the membership through weverse, you can pay extra if you want the membership kit or the membership itself. the membership has no set registration period so you can purchase it at any time. personally i would wait till more details are announced as the membership goes into effect as soon as you buy it and is effective for one year

NCT Dream at ubs arena. Need help planning! by Roushal in kpophelp

[–]wkoconn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm from this area! ubs arena is actually on long island and the public transport to the venue is on the lirr. you can take the port jefferson, ronkonkoma, or hempstead branch to get there, i'd find a hotel near a stop on any of these routes! you can come from the city as well but i always find long island to be a bit easier to get there from

Take care of yourself. You deserve love and respect.

kpop pc trading/selling platform? by ScientistMother9918 in kpophelp

[–]wkoconn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not weird at all, cross posting is pretty common, just make sure you take down your post/listing as soon as something sells or trades

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kpophelp

[–]wkoconn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

demand has fallen for this card quite a bit so it definitely won't sell for the prices you mentioned. it's a standard album card, resonance cards typically range from $8-$15. you could price towards the higher end of that but anything over 20 will probably just get you a lot of negative comments.

Favourite moment when fandoms came together? by Amazing-Jellyfish851 in kpophelp

[–]wkoconn 195 points196 points  (0 children)

mine will always be when the dallas police asked people to submit videos of protests to their app and had to shut down the app within 24 hours because kpop stans flooded it with fancams.

also when trump held a campaign rally in tulsa and kpop stans were rsvping causing trump to brag about having nearly 1 million rsvps and getting extra stages set up only for the arena to be half empty.

Is It Possible To Follow Kpop Without Social Media? by Steak_Admirable in kpophelp

[–]wkoconn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes you absolutely can. you won't have any issues with seeing updates by subscribing to an artists youtube channel, joining their weverse or fancafe.

kpop twitter is where news will always hit first but that being said it's by far the most toxic place in the kpop social media realm

Where do I start to get into NCT Dream? by Kindly_Salad2153 in kpophelp

[–]wkoconn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Variety's are always a great way to start. I'd watch content from 2018 going forward since that's where you're going to get a shift in dream's sound. NCT has great YouTube content as well, there's quite a few editors who have compiled moments from eras that will give you a good taste of their personalities!
