             GEMI’S FANMEETING TO BE PUSHED BACK 

Just one day after the announcement of her fan meet for tomorrow, Gemi’s manager has confirmed that the meet will be pushed back a few days. The singer has flown to Tokyo for a few days to visit with her mother and step-father. While there has been no confirmation, it’s suspected that she went to be with her grandmother who has been in and out of the hospital over the last few months. Her manager assured us that the meeting will be taking place by Thursday of this week, and asked for fans to continue to look forward to it. While the venue may change, the event is still free admission and will hold upwards to 400 eager fans. 

A source from the company has revealed that there are potential guests attending her fan meet, be it to stop by or perform. The list includes TQ labelmates such as the soloist Bang, cousin and Senshi member Zinnie, Joon of CO:HRT, choreographer Dorian, and even soloist (and self proclaimed queen bee of TQ) Akali. Spiced members are expected to stop by to show support to their leader, and of course, Gemi’s twin brother Gino (of OK:GO) and younger sister, Albie are as well. Neither Gemi nor her management have confirmed this list, but they have yet to deny it either. (Knowing how Gemi is and how she loves surprising people, we can probably look forward to seeing all of those faces, if not more.)

NETIZEN BUZZ

i hope she’s okay :c i know her grandmother means a lot to her. 

AKALI? is this some kind of joke? 

damn with all the tq people coming, it might as well be a damn company fan meeting.

and yet, everyone’s always calling her selfish. she’s sharing her SOLO fan meet with her friends and labelmates. if that ain’t love and realness, i don’t know what is. 

i’m glad i looked this up, i was really packing my bag to sleep outside of coex tonight. 

prayers to your family, eonni. i’m sure things will be okay. can’t wait to see you at this meet <3 

hello, everyone! i apologise for the radio silence lately. i'm now working two jobs and still am struggling to make rent and other bills. im in the process of applying for disability due to increasing health issues; but as of right now, i'm $90 USD short on rent and -$25 USD in the bank.

that being said, i am not asking for donations ( though if you choose to tip, I am eternally grateful )! i am, instead, running a sale on my entire shop until 11/16/24. everything in my shop is 25% OFF until the deadline.

shop my graphics here and use the code FAEGFX25 for the discount.

I was really trying to avoid this, but I'm just at a point where I don't know what to do. I am currently -$104.71 in the bank and I am not making enough money to bring it back into the positive.

Here is the current situation with my job:

Last year, in October, I began working for my local newspaper. However, I am not an official employee. Instead, I am working through a vocational rehabilitation program set up by my local Workforce Center. This means that while I work for the paper, I am actually getting paid my wages through the Workforce Center. This is a 12-week program, wherein after the 12 weeks, I am to go under review to see if I qualify for another 12 weeks. After which, the paper will either have to hire me on as an official employee or I will have to look elsewhere for work.

As of December 31, 2024, my first 12 weeks has ended and I am currently waiting on review. In the meantime, I am still writing an article here and there and proofreading, but not nearly at the capacity I was prior.

I live in income-based housing, and have reduced my bills as much as I can, and I am receiving SNAP benefits and going to local food banks when I can. I am also looking for other work in case I am not approved for another 12-week program. In the interim, however, I am desperately trying to get my balance out of the negatives.

Unfortunately, with my current mental and physical health ( which I am in the process of applying for disability ), I cannot reliably offer graphic commissions right now. However, since it is my day job anyway, I can offer proofreading and editing services. I have a bachelor's degree in English and completed an online course in proofreading and copyediting.

If there's something you've written and plan to publish or submit ( online or otherwise ), please hit me up — I'd be happy to help! This can be anything! Academic papers ( I will proofread academic papers, but I will not edit them for you ), manuscripts, blog posts, websites, magazine articles, legal transcripts, resume writing, etc. I've been trying to bulk up my portfolio, so this would be a great opportunity for me to do that. We can discuss rates and pay privately either through Tumblr IMs or Discord, which you can ask me for.

If proofreading and editing services don't interest you and any of you would be willing to help out by donating, I would be truly appreciative and will include PayPal and CashApp links below. Even just spreading this around would help.

Thank you, guys.
