oh you forgot a big potential scandal for women in girl groups : reading feminist books (or being asociated with feminism at all) 💕 irene's male fans were mad as hell for that one ouuuuuuuh
Everything flashing up "do not sign up," "don't do it," and then I see I can get emojis and my brain went. "How much would Shy kill me if I DID sign up?" LOL
Ohmygod, I need to find that video with the photocards now, this has me intrigued!! As for 127, he was my main bias, alongside Yuta, and I did not expect him to be part of such a thing. Like how are we to know?? I love how you mention the "I knew he was like this" and "it's not my fave". Like, how do they actually know this? Are the people who say this actually psychic?? But to tell you the truth, with what's been coming out in SK for the last few years as I have been following more closely at what happens, I wasn't as shocked as I thought I would be, which makes me sad. This is not purely about him, but Korean men in general. We see over and over and over again all these reports of DV, and how it's getting worse. It's cultural, and this is purely the view that Korean men have grown up with, and a government that doesn't give shits ass about it. I see the kpop industry as an iceberg; meaning you only see what they want us to see, which is maybe 10%. They are trained in how to speak and appear for fans. We do not really know these people. I'm not saying EVERY idol or Korean man is like this, but we do not know what happens behind closed doors, and people seem to forget this because they are so bedazzled. They are not your friends, and like you said, they are a product of the industry.
Thank you for addressing the topic. I don't have many kpop friends IRL so have been looking to the internet for support. Stay safe and healthy everyone and SHy:)
As someone whose main KPOP ULT is Jongho, I also watched that ranking video you're talking about. Let me say, the blood was boiling hot! And I've watched a couple of ranking vids and it seems the majority feel the same which is so infuriating. They dont deserve our baby bear's sweet and talented voice! Also, not me searching for that sorting vid so i can see for myself the audacity of that person. 😅
People were saying that SM is most likely waiting for his contract to be over so they won't have to pay him out for breaking it early. I hope that's the case and we see SM cut all ties with him. I don't know if they'll decide to rerecord songs, especially since their discography is already so large, but I hope they do. I haven't been able to listen to any songs he's in. It feels so wrong and gross to do so. I can't say I was too attached to him (not sure if that would be the right word). For me it felt like he just came to do his job and only through the members, haechan and johnny especially, did I get to know more about who he was as a person. I guess the more correct way would be, how his members saw him as a person. It was easy to see that they absolutely adored him. I just don't understand how someone could be so selfish and egotistical. Seeing the airport pictures of Mark and Haechan, as well as the other 127 boys, was absolutely heartbreaking. (Also the crazy stalkers not letting them have any privacy whatsoever is incredibly infuriating) They're going to have to continue to face fans and the public while he just skates on by. That man has caused so much harm. I hope he stubs his toe every day for the rest of his miserable life. May the victim get the help and justice they deserve. May Korean women get the help and justice they deserve.
I think it’s ironic that Korea “cares” so much about bullying but be the main ones bullying idols… International fans are no better, they get on Koreans when it comes to that but are also bullies too.
How dare he ,Jongho's song, like I love ballads (like be with you is one of my top favorite Ateez songs) but like I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea but to be below intros. Also I stopped watching reactions and ranking videos because it seemed disingenuous. I am with you I am protective of my baby bear. Also totally agree with you about the beginning of the video on how women are always blamed when men are the ones who do something wrong. Also I always enjoy when you talk about taxes.
For me to see that the crime that ( he who shall not be named ) was so horrible and the fact that I have not seen any thing really on Korean media just shows me their priorities because the news of yoongi (from bts ) riding a scooter after having a few drinks was all over Korean media while I haven’t seen anything about (he who shall not be named) anywhere really shows me what really matters to them and it’s just so sad because before I am a k-pop Stan I am a woman and as a woman I feel like this should be reported on more and there should be more done to prevent this from happening but there isn’t and that makes me sooo sad and upset
I was thinking, at least for that price, they finally learn how to make a cohesive set, and then you pulled up that Jongho, and I just busted out laughing.
I don't think I've ever been this early to a video but as soon as I saw the upload I rushed over because I love Shy's Ateez videos😭 (and ofc all others too!!)
bruh i collect skz and sooooo many of the sets have like one or two members with a completely different background and im just like jyp is lucky i love the kids so much cuz wtf its triggering my damn ocd lmao
pov this video is literally me randomly at 3am because i suddenly have the urge to just rework what collections go in what binder (my friends hwa collection is no longer rooming with nct, nct was moved to the other dorms), and figure out how its all gonna look when i fully put everything in its own 9-pocket page binder (which i still need to save money to just buy 9-pocket pages since they apparently dont carry them in store anymore)
putting this video on as I respond to an email I’ve been dreading responding to the past 18 hours.. I’m trying to get a job and the guy hiring hits me with a “I’ve reached out to all three of your references this week and no one has responded” 😭😭😭😭 sigh… thank you Shy for giggling in the background of my suffering I truly get secondhand joy from you 😭
you talking about that skz ktown set… I’m an NCT collector I said what the fuck is a set 😭😭😭 we’re lucky if album cards have outfits from the corresponding album concepts 😮💨
The archive binder is really nice. I especially love the Will spread and the Celebration/Xmas spread. Also, speaking of mismatch sets, have you seen the WayV Give Me That album cards? They make no sense lol Enjoyed this very much!
