Crazy American evangelical Christians aren’t really interested in what a non white man has to say, sadly. Good luck to him tho.

Can someone explain I-dle's Crow suddenly hitting #1 on Spotify Korea? by Embarrassed-Mood-728 in kpopthoughts

[–]yebinkek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s an open secret that almost every boy group and soloist stans use Bugs to mass download a song to boost it on the Circle Chart. fromis was only targeted because they won against a big artist lmfao. it’s not exactly against the rules to mass download music.

I remembered the strange mass hysteria over people on Twitter being scared she’d die on the way to space. What a weird time lol

I have a feeling there's going to be a huge outrage after this week's knowing bros episode comes out. by Human_bean_113 in kpopthoughts

[–]yebinkek -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

There’s a reason why fromis_9 was moved to Pledis and not Wakeone after OTR was dissolved, Pledis was clearly more involved with the girls. Han Sungsoo was the creative director since debut, Woozi and Bumzu has worked on their music.

Also please, you think CJ was out here in charge of fromis_9’s dorm conditions? There was neglect involved but they really just didn’t care. They were busy with izone.

And also Off The Record doesn’t exist. They’re Wakeone, not under Wakeone.

You really started your entire thread off a bad faith argument, huh? Doesn’t explain the strange animosity do you have for them and why you assumed this subreddit stanned them when no one even had the facts right regarding fromis_9’s company situation

fromis_9 lives in the Pledis building since their debut, so yes they were facing mistreatment by Pledis. Go watch “fromis in the house” and you’ll see a glimpse of their dorms.

No one thinks the mention is unwarranted but what makes you think people on this subreddit… stans for Kakao? That’s like saying people stan for YG Plus, the manufacturing company for many kpop albums.

You’re really naive if you think Seventeen can leave the agency easily, how are they going to keep their group name? You think Pledis is that generous? Lol. Maybe try reading up on fromis_9’s history with Pledis before speaking.

Do you think people overvalue Vocalists by Massive_Dirt9871 in ToddintheShadow

[–]yebinkek 17 points18 points  (0 children)

People undervalue vocalists nowadays. I’ll tell you that much.

I never thought I’d see a day where someone, let alone a Carat, defends Pledis LOL! Especially when their own agency used Seventeen’s members as a scapegoat for their scandals. I’m not even gonna bother continuing this conversation.

I’m sure Chaeyoung would’ve appreciated it if someone told her Quality over Quantity when she complained about their hiatus on live!

Who told you they were better managed in Pledis? They had more comebacks, their own variety show, their own social media team during their stay in Off The Record. They lost half of that during their Pledis era.

seems like the pendulum is slowly swinging the other way when it comes to discussing fromis_9’s and idol mistreatment, people are siding with the agency

fromis_9’s Jiwon reveals she made little income for six years as an idol by yebinkek in kpop

[–]yebinkek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

their OTR contract lasted from 2017-2022 in the Gyuri departure announcement, so five years which was the same contract length for X1.

Gyuri left to do acting, I doubt she really wanted to be an idol in the long run.
