I don't want to walk in this 미로

다 아는 건 아니어도

Hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh~

So I am posting this up because my aunt and you were having a conversation and she's a huge BTS fan. She also believes in like spirituality and stuff and she's talked about how she seen so many people doing readings for the members like individually or readings tarot card readings face readings Etc and how everything is very interesting about what's happening individually with the members and then we went into debt talking about certain Dynamics and stuff. Now that being said she had asked me about like the group energy. Rather than individual vibes and I decided to do a reading. And I decided to share that reading with you guys.

So I personally used three ducks for this my fortune cookie Deck, the star seed Oracle and the moonology oracle.

For the fortune cookie duck I decided to just pull out three cards but then a fourth one flew out because clearly it also needs to be a part of us. So what I ended up pulling was assert yourself, go for what you want, the time is right for soulmate connection. Birth of a child also likely.

Again we're talking technically about a group so it could mean that maybe one of the members might find themselves or a couple of them finding their soulmates people that they're in love with ect. But it's also making me think that we'll get into that because again we'll see the rest of them. The next one was health. And excellent time to start an exercise program or diet. Many new friendships are on the horizon okay I feel like that one along with a shirt yourself and then the following card which was the last one I personally pulled out which was care required. Guard yourself against deception and be careful of making foolish mistakes at this time. To me that was very very telling but then the last one that fell out was love love is in the air, a great time for committing and taking relationships to the next level.

So now let's kind of talk about what I think these four cards makes sense of what they mean for the group as a group. Assert yourself to me goes hand in hand with health and Care required in terms of I think it is a for a lack of better wording warning time it's a warning sign that the members are becoming friends with people who are seeing through the bullshit that they've been brainwashed to believe in some of them since they were little children by the company. Again care required protecting yourself against deception and making sure not to make foolish mistakes at this time. But then also the fact that was followed by love.

The number for keeps popping into my head so I believe that four of the seven members have either already found a platonic or romantic soulmate who has been actually talking to them and being like hey you know all these things you keep telling me about your company the things that they're like doing the threatening the trying to make you act a certain way that's not normal. Like even by entertainment standards that's not normal and they're having these kind of conversations that's making them kind of realize how one brainwash they've kind of been a little bit in terms of believing that there's certain things that have to happen and work ect. But also I think it's making some of them realize that the people who are supposed to be looking out for their best intentions and protecting them really were just sitting there and telling them whatever they needed to say in order to keep them compliant.

From the Moon ology that I pulled it's time to take action new moon and aries, confidence is your key to success New Moon and leo, you're very close to achieving your goal gibbous moon, adjustments are required third quarter moon, don't let pride get in your way full moon and leo, and reversed the end of a tough cycle approaches full moon and capricorn.

In my opinion this is basically saying that the worst is yet to come pun intended. They're going to go through quite a tough ending to the cycle that they're currently in but it's it's nowhere near being over. I feel like going back to the care required card is also important when you go into the full moon in Leo don't let pride get in your way and the new moon and Leo confidence is your key to success. I feel like this is specifically talking about their confidence in themselves individually and their confidence in themselves as a group as a whole. They have to remind themselves that they're the reason why their company is popular and not the other way around. They're the key to success and they're all the buffer that is protecting their corporation and some of the really shitty people in it. Don't let pride get in your way I feel like is the foolish mistakes and being careful that the care required card is talking about. I feel like one cuz that's the number that he's causing my head on one of the members has kind of got to the point where they're really fucking fed up they're like so done they're so fed up with everything like they love their job they enjoy their members there's a little bit of stress there I definitely feel like they might feel a little burdened with the fact that the company and people around them have like really pushed a certain rhetoric about them in a certain friendship within the group and is getting to them now we're there kind of like I am my own individual person can you please stop consistently acting like I'm a conjoined twin type of lives right. Like I want you to understand to see me for me and not as me having to always be a part of some duo or group situation. And because of that it's a high possibility of their pride getting in the way of them doing something very stupid and very prideful because of it and the people around them are the ones who are trying to be like yo don't do that now it's not the time to be doing that.

Adjustments are required third quarter moon and it's time to take action new moon and Aries clearly go together with one another. But I also feel like this is where the real tough part of the cycle kind of comes in for them because now they have to figure out exactly what the actions are that they take and what those adjustments that they need to make would be. They had a vision and an idea of what them coming back together as all seven was supposed to look like and how it was supposed to play out and it's not exactly going the way that they thought it would.

They had sather and basically come up with a game plan for a goal that they wanted they had talked about it planned it meticulously together separately and with the company and they're further from that goal then they have ever been before that's what it's giving. They have to start making adjustments they have to start making actions they're at this really weird point where on one hand they're aware of what they have to do in order to get what they and again this is just like the words and vibes popping into my head.

Is giving that they have a certain level of notoriety and fame that they want to reach and they're really close to reaching it. Where they would not have to worry as much as the company has made them and that they have for years in terms of their personal lives. Their goal as a group and individually now that they're getting older is to be able to balance their lives as celebrities and have normal lives outside of it. Like groups that keep popping into my head is like 2pm where it's a group that's been allowed around for a long time they have come back for special occasion special anniversaries when all of them to get together but they're all doing their own individual things right two of the members are married or getting married, some of them have businesses that have nothing to do with entertainment, some of them are doing acting and modeling and all this other stuff but they're like allowed to exist and do those things. Their fandom isn't like losing their shit over a member having been married for a few years now or one getting married. They have a type of respect from the fans and people who matter who show up every time they have a special anniversary every time they come out with a special album or a DVD or whatever it may be.

That's kind of The vibes it feels like the guys are going for BTS wants to get to that point. But they want to get to that point while still being where they are in terms of Fame and notoriety. The difference between them and the group that I was talking about is the other group didn't necessarily have a huge blow up and become super global they have a decent sized fandom though that has continued to grow and has existed for over a decade but because of the fact that the fandom in and of itself kind of has stayed pretty consistent in being a mid-sized fandom it makes it a lot easier for them to have that kind of relationship with their fans and to exist in the way that they are allowed to exist while still being celebrities.

And that's what the guys want and they're like pretty darn close to it like something is like making me feel like you're you're walking and it feels like the woods are still so dark and you want to turn back around but like little do you know you're like five steps away from the highway you just can't see it yet until you take those five steps and push the tree leaves to the side but you're right there at the edge of the forest that you thought you were trapped in.

Now the star seed cards are also interesting mainly because I got more reverse cards than I thought I would I normally don't really pull reverse cards from this deck.

But we got inner Temple devotion, tune into the portal of your heart. I feel like this makes sense because I've always gotten the vibe and every time I do a reading it's always divided for three. Every time there seems to be three members who are kind of on the same page and there seems to be four members that are kind of on the same page. And the way the illustration on this card is it's definitely making me think of the three members right it has two people at the base of a temple and then it has a giant star shining above the temple and it kind of brings your attention to the triangle that it creates. I feel like there's three members where they have been listening to their intuition and their intuition has been telling them for a while that this isn't it. But they also are very loyal like one thing that kind of pops up every time I do reading for BTS is that they're kind of loyal to a fault right loyal to the point where it's almost a little detrimental and they just haven't realized it yet. The next card is Mintakan longing for home, belonging, the original light workers. This one actually has imagery of four so there's like a mermaid and then there is three planets that you can see. I feel like these two cards again are talking about the divide in the group the three and the four. You have three of them who are listening to intuition they've been realizing for a while some of them have realized for like the past 5 years they've noticed how the company's kind of been playing them the favoritism the inconsistencies the yeah will do this and then it either getting pushed back or never happening but they've like bit their tongue they've said nothing. And then I'm also seeing the number one and at first I thought this meant like a year but then instead first kept popping in so I'm thinking more so the first time they finally had a break so during the pandemic where they had that first time of being able to have several months to just talk to their friends and family and interact with people outside of the entertainment industry or from other companies and talking to them and it made some of them realize just how controlling their company is even outside of like the basic narrative.

I keep having like images pop into my head of someone being like in a relationship they they arrive back home their shared apartment or their partner's apartment they're supposed to be spending time together but then they keep getting calls from their job but they're off the clock right they don't have to pick up the calls but they feel like they do so instead of sitting there spending time with their partner they're picking up the calls having like five hour long conversations and then leaving the police again like I have to go back to work honey they really need me and it just keeps going over and over it's like a never-ending loop. And I feel like that's something that they're starting to realize like you should still be allowed to have your own personal life and do certain things and other idols and artists do have those while they didn't for really long time and by the time they did have it they were so used to the way things had always worked that they kind of didn't use that to their advantage. And now they're realizing just how weird it is and also how trained they were to see this as normal do not question it and then the next card is star seed what lights you up? And it's a person sitting on like a cliff staring out into the ocean and they can see two planets floating fairly close to the planet. And between the imagery and also just The vibes I'm getting it really feels like some of them are starting to like lose that spark. They're aware of the fact that the way that things are going it's making them genuinely start to dislike and even hate the idea of performing of being a celebrity putting themselves out there and it's scary because they genuinely do love and adore what they do. But it's becoming so much more draining and the cons are outweighing the pros for them.

I keep hearing someone in my head saying, " I can't do this anymore I want to but I can't not like this." And I think that's like the vibes is also giving like one member specifically this is like the thoughts in their head I feel like this is something that they've they've stated at least four different times and we're met with the promise of change but then that change didn't really happen or it did but it was for such a short amount of time where they've had pockets of feeling okay and then they go right back to like I just I can't do this anymore.

And I'm not going to say names but if you've been on this account long enough you know that I have like low-key a one-sided beef with one of the members I don't know why it's just like spiritually I I don't like them. I cannot explain to you why I genuinely think that we have had interactions or met in a past life because the way that I have a physical reaction when I see them and I'm not even joking I have seen BTS live like three times and every time that person has gotten way too close to my section it makes me feel like genuinely sick like when you're around someone and like you can't stand them like there's something about them that freaks you out so much that you feel like you're going to throw up that vibe. I'm not going to say who but I feel like you can definitely figure it out if you look I keep seeing that image of that one clip of that movie I've never watched of that girl just screaming over and over again I'm a star I'm a star I'm a star!

They are internally crashing the fuck out because I feel like they probably have one of the worst cases of loyalty to the company and loyalty to evil Porky the pig. They have intertwined their entire being to the company and to being a part of the company and a part of the group. Like this is a member who needs attention they don't want it they need it like they crave it they can't survive without it and to them the idea of them making the changes that they might need to make for all of them to be happy don't seem good enough in their opinion to possibly lose their access to the absolute drug that is attention.

Like this person is like there you ever watch The Sour patch kids commercials? That's what their actual real personality is like right they give off a certain image to the general public and that the company has helped them cultivate but they're real personality is pretty dependent on other people's attention and it's also a little a lot like they're conceited as much as the ocean is deep they are self-centered in the way that our planet is covered in water more than it is covered in continents. But they're really good at manipulation and not in like a really fucked up way but in a they will find a way to manipulate you to like them you will never know who they really are because they don't know who they are when they're not being perceived because of this everything that's going on with the company is freaking them the fuck out because it's making them realize that what makes them light up is heavily reliant on being in the public eye and perceived a certain type of way but in order for any of them to fully have the synergy that they kind of need in order to truly survive as a group in the long run for way longer than they already have those changes could temporarily get rid of that for them.

The next card is one of the reverse cards which is unbound release soul patterns, contracts, and past lives and it shows three people floating in the air at night but they are tied to the ground with rope. Like they're trying to get away but they are literally bound to the planet. And again I feel like this goes with what I just talked about with the last person there are multiple members of three it feels like with again the cards image. There are members that are already floating away right they've unbound themselves from the company from evil piggy bank.

They've gone to the point where they understand that they no longer need the company the company needs them and they're trying to figure out exactly how to make the next couple of moves so that they don't end up in a situation that they don't want to be in. If feels like they kind of want to sit there and get to a point where they have a solid plan in place before they make a move. But one of the biggest issues that they're currently having is the fact that there are at least three members that still have that unwavering loyalty to accompany that no longer feels like it's loyal to them. They're all a little on edge like they're walking on a tightrope that's tied to the Titanic and the iceberg that's about to take the ship under and there's at least five different lifeboats under them but they have to make it to the lifeboat before they can jump off of the tightrope. Like that is literally the image that popped into my head.

It's also causing frustration like I said there's a member that feels like they're trying to be more than what the company has painted them to be and trying to be more than just a part of the ensemble or having to be part of some duo or having to be linked specifically to members and then there's the member who craves and needs attention like we need air. And it feels like it's causing a frustration between the two of them I wouldn't necessarily say a rift but more like a headache like they're giving each other a headache because they're going back and forth trying to convince the other one why the next move is necessary. And it's kind of becoming almost like a standoff where it's becoming a battle of ego and pride on top of just like facts like we're not all happy if this keeps happening x y and z could happen this might not work out. Because every time I do a reading for them and even now I keep getting the same image which is either a jyj situation where all of the members leave and they're able to technically continue on as a group together they just might have to like change their name like I said for whatever reason jyj and highlight pop up into my head even though I also feel like legally speaking they probably would win if they try to sue their company for the rights to everything because of how popular they are and how synonymous they are with the name and the company wouldn't be able to use BTS or army or anything affiliated with them. And then the other image that I keep getting is EXO which is the group divided some of the members. fracturing the foundation of the group and the fandom and kind of like basically it would be really like a shit show. Like I keep getting images of like people walking around looking at their phones and like whispering to each other YouTube being covered with videos of like the downfall or the end of BTS. Members getting dragged into shit that they had nothing to do with because of them now being kind of stuck with the company and the company using them however they can as like means to Shield themselves or get away from stuff. And like I said the other image I get is them leaving the company I keep seeing like 1.5 so I'm I'm assuming like maybe a year and a half of them possibly having to be in like a legal battle to get the rights to their names and stuff but ultimately them winning and then being able to continue on just outside of the company I also don't see them joining another company I see them legitimately like starting their own just for them like they're not trying to come out with a bunch of other groups and shit they're just creating a legal company for themselves to be able to sit there and be in control of their music and themselves and come out with like group projects and stuff basically a got7 situation.

The next card I pulled was pillar of light your vibration is rising. You are the oracle followed by the last two cards which are both reversed which are Imrama where are you being called to journey to? And sisterhood of the Rose Beauty and devotion, Mystic teacher.

And I feel like all three of them kind of intertwined with each other but more importantly the fact that where are you being called to journey is a card that is reversed I think is very interesting cuz it's almost as if it's saying like you know where you're being called to journey you're not questioning it cuz that's what it is it's a question. But you're not going there you're not doing what you need to do to get to again that end goal that you have that you're so close to achieving. And then with sisterhood of the Rose it is quite literally a picture of five people actual women and two statues in a semicircle standing among funnily enough Seven pillars with the ocean behind them and the sun shining above their heads. And again that being reversed I'm seeing this instead of like sisterhood morsel like Brotherhood right I'm also seeing this as like Mystic teacher there's something that they're supposed to be learning but they're not. There's something that they need to do together as a Brotherhood but they're preventing themselves from doing it whether it's because some of them are afraid or some of them genuinely don't think they could get away or pull this off.

The overall Vibe I have gotten is that the group is in limbo. They're in this really weird place where some of them are aware of exactly how they're perceived and viewed by the company and they're ready to move on from that right they want more freedoms they want more of a say in their life and they know they can't do that while staying there the company is quite literally toxic for them again it's the imagery of like a field of flowers with a giant tree in the middle but in order for the flowers to survive the tree is slowly dying that's the imagery that keeps flashing in my head like they are the tree that's standing at the center of this giant field that is filled with all of these flowers and other trees and things but in order for the feel to stay Lush and green and for everything to seem cohesive the tree in the middle has to start dying. Not the whole tree but parts of it is going to die some of the wood is already rotting some of the branches no longer sprout leaves it's in this half dead State the state of limbo it's like Schrodinger's cat it is both alive and dead at the same time.

I also keep getting the image of like showing up to a friend's house because they told you they were sick so you guys couldn't go out and then when you arrive you see them through their window hanging out with that new friend of theirs who is all like new and shiny and fun and different and it feels like they're replacing you like that that's kind of The vibes that I also feel like it's happening with the members and within the company. Words like they can feel that the company is literally trying to prepare to replace them with their successors like they've already tried or they have or they're in the middle of picking whichever group they want to walk in their footsteps and kind of take over for them right and I feel like whether this is actually happening that way or if it's just them feeling like that because it feels like so many companies are doing that you know they're having groups that have been around for a while they're their new legacy acts from 3rd gen who are pitting themselves first. So you don't have all of the members resigning with the companies and you have some of these companies already trying to find the next group to take over to be there next like legacy act or to be there next cash cow.

It feels like as a group they're in like this really weird crossroad they could either continue on the path that they're on with a company but there's a high possibility that it's going to ruin them individually as people and also their spirits. Right it's like they know that there's a possibility they'll be used as Shields again some of them have already realized and recognized the many times where they're elusive personal life that they're not allowed to share have been used or manipulated by the company in order to protect the company itself. And they know that there's always a possibility of that happening that as they get older regardless of the money they're bringing in regardless of the fans that they have the company will start seeing them as a liability and more and more replaceable. But then the other path that they could take where they take this on themselves where they choose themselves first is scary in the fact that it is not something they can predict. They cannot predict what companies they might sign to as solar artist or if they might start their own they can't predict the trajectory of their solo careers in a different company they can't guarantee the popularity that they have continuing to follow them if they leave and this also brings me to like another aspect I feel like this reading and a few others kind of do.

Which is anytime I do a reading for any group from this company there's always this underlying anxiety right like genuinely I hate doing HYBE readings because they make me anxious and not like Oh I'm a little anxious no I mean like they have my heart pumping really fast I start getting really sweaty I feel like I could be on the verge of a panic attack at any moment and the reason why is I think that's literally how their groups feel. Their groups regardless of where they stand in terms of popularity within and outside of the company they're always super anxious and on the verge of a panic attack because they have been taught they have been made to believe that at any moment their fans will turn on them. That the company is the one in control and that the company is the one who's pulling the strings on the fandoms that if they left they will no longer have those people following them.

Is one of the reasons why and I'm not going to get into it I might do a rant about it tomorrow or something I think the company is so quick on throwing Enhypen members in front of a fucking camera or on stage and making them claim that there are six member group the same way I think it's the reason why they're so fucking terrified of new jeans and bunnies and they keep trying to fucking Sue and failing mind you they've tried suing several times now bunnies for spreading actual information and facts because they didn't think that the fandom would stay United they didn't think that these fandoms would care so much about all seven members that they would be willing to continue calling them a seven-member group that they would continue having hope that the member would come back. They didn't think that these fandoms would stick together so even though it's been about 2.5 years since all of the bullshit has happened with new jeans and mhj the fans aren't leaving that girl group. They have not left them behind they have not become forgotten and that terrifies the company but I also think that's what has if woken up some of the members of BTS to realizing that the company for years has probably been dangling over their heads that the fandom likes them because of the company and them seeing that that's not the truth was jarring but also something they needed to see and it terrifies the company so the company is trying their hardest to hold on to the members who haven't quite come to terms with that.

When me and my aunt were talking I pointed out to her that every time I use my traditional tarot cards to do a reading in general about a group and this company especially specific groups I'm not again not going to name the name of the groups but there's at least five of them they always have death and the tower pop up every goddamn time.

If you know anything about it you'll know that that duo in my opinion is the hugest transformation Duo you can pull in traditional tarot. Death meaning you can no longer continue with whatever it is you're doing this cycle has to end you have to kind of move on and something let go of something that is no longer serving you. And the tower being a new beginning structure that is no longer needed, breaking through the illusion having an epiphany about something.

And I am telling you at least five groups every time I use my traditional tarot deck those two cards will always pop up when I'm doing any reading about them and their relationship with the company. BTS is one of those five groups where their members who are realizing the structure of this relationship they have with them the way that this has been painted the illusion they've been sold is a lie. They're realizing that they can't get to where they want to be if they're stuck in this never-ending cycle.

Anyway I'm going to end this year because I feel like I'm going to just keep rambling on because I keep having thoughts and image and stuff popping into my head which again happens a lot with these groups because so much chaotic energy. It genuinely feels like having a billiards table that's filled with way too many balls and someone just knocks them all into each other and they start just spewing off everywhere. It feels like someone took a six pack of soda shook them up handed them to five random people and then had them all open them spontaneously in different rooms in a house and now you're running from room to room to see what the hell got ruined in each of the rooms it is very chaotic energy it makes me jittery it's like I just sat here and downed 15 Red Bulls.

Just like a mini rant/update but yeah at this point I'm convinced that they're not resigning those contracts. I could be wrong and I definitely want to do a reading like a in general one soon that I'll post up for everyone about the group but what the fuck do you mean they're going to be at Comic-Con on a panel with the director of Twilight and two of the actors that played Dr Cullen and alice?

You're telling me that now as they're revamping the group and all that they're sending them to Comic-Con like 4 years after they have already started the webtoon and corresponded Wattpad story/books and now 4 years later after losing a member they're going to be performing and doing a panel at Comic-Con to talk about the webtoon.

I feel like when you start getting K-pop idols doing random ass side quest by the company not on their own right I'm not talking about fucking ncts Kun out here getting his license to be a fucking air pilot or any of the other 50 million licenses like his construction worker license and shit like that that he has okay those are like side quests that you do on your own and sometimes K-pop idols be doing that shit and you're just like I don't know why you decided that that was something you wanted to do but like good for you.

But I'm talking about when the company starts giving you side quests that they never give thought about or hinted at giving before. And it's near the end of your initial contract in my opinion it normally means that contract negotiations aren't going really well. On top of that no offense but we have yet to actually have any Hybe group that had to do contract renewals that didn't renew an entire year ahead of time. Txt BTS SVT all of them renew their contracts basically a year before the originals were over so like they still had to get go out that one year but they had already resigned contracts and negotiated a year ahead of time. The only group who did not do that were the ones that the company instantly just like Thanos snapped out of their company Gfriend, NU'EST,Formus9. Like those are literally the only other groups that technically could have had the opportunity to renew their contracts and two of those groups literally talked about the fact that they never even had the talks or the negotiation for contract renewal the company basically just said you're disbanded. So it's not very promising when their contracts should be over pretty damn soon and there's been no real conversation about contract renewals or no real conversation about if the members are staying or not outside of one member getting separated from the rest of the group.

I also wonder how this is going to go I feel like you'll probably have more people there for interested in Twilight showing up for their panel for those two days also what would the members even talk about like are they are they getting re-educated in the lore because I feel like we never really get them talking about the lore like I said I'm not a hardcore fan so maybe they do more often than I know but of all the live streams of theirs that have like we watched after they've been uploaded on YouTube and like compilation videos of theirs I don't think I've ever seen them actually sit there and like talk about the war of their webtoon and vibes and shit. So it's going to be interesting to see that they're going to be the ones leading a panel to talk about their love to and also what the storyline is going to be now apparently one of the vampires does get married to the human girl and they're going against the taboo of vampires and humans being together or some shit like that from what I've seen on the internet about their upcoming sixth member album and again I'm like how is that going to explain one of the main vampires just disappearing?

Like I said I like story lines for Kpop groups and I did last year actually watch two three hour long videos that sat there and completely broke down the entire lore of both Enhypen and &team and I thoroughly enjoyed it but the only reason why I didn't go back to thoroughly get into the whole lore is because the last couple of albums seem to have absolutely nothing to do with the Lord so I'm like should I even bother? Because trust me I bothers with the BTS floor I bothered with the txt lore I bothered with the boyfriend lore. Any group that I liked which had some kind of storyline best believe I sat there and studied that shit and dealing that primarily it was Boy groups it was the handful of boy groups that I was really into. I'm talking like genuine fan out here genuinely learning everything I can about the law watching all of the music videos and having discussions online with other fans about it.

It's sad truth about what's happening with this group. Like just from a regular person's point of view this isn't even getting into spiritually because I did card readings and so far it looks like they're heading towards the group actually crashing and burning. But I also think you can kind of see that happening and it's because of the company.

I want to reiterate that I genuinely like this group because I feel like when I have conversations like this people always think that I'm hating on the group or the members and it's like no I'm telling you looking at it objectively but also from everything I've been seeing. There have been so many of the Asian fans which is the core fan base for all of these groups regardless of how popular they may or may not be in Asia the last thing you want is for your Asian fans to start leaving you and that's what's happening. This situation with whether they're six or seven members and the way the company is now pushing the members to consistently reiterate that there is six member group it is making a lot of their Asian fans drop of the group.

I've also seen this making a lot of people who would be considered more casual fans drop the group, I've seen people have been fans for a long time because of how draining this is but also like how icky it feels dropping the group. That is the last thing they need to happen but I also think that this was done on purpose.

I don't think people understand how much these Kpop companies are willing to sacrifice if it means that they can keep their idols under their thumb. They can't have them becoming too popular and that was the issue with Enhypen they were becoming popular enough that they were basically becoming bigger than their company because people forget their company is BeLift not Hybe.

Hybe is the company that their company is signed to. But that don't mean shit for them. Like technically speaking the way this company is supposed to be ran Hybe is nothing more than a glorified distributor right that's supposed to be their job they have all of these smaller companies under them and their goal is to distribute all of their albums and MD sales along with helping promote them in other countries and in Korea right that's technically what the company supposed to be it's supposed to be a multi-leveling company that does distribution and marketing. It is not supposed to be considered its own entertainment company in and of itself that's not its job.

So BeLift is the only company that the group has to worry about and they were 100% becoming bigger than their record label. Which means that they would end up having the upper hand when it came to things like contract negotiation and they did not want that. So what's the easiest way to not let that happen sabotage the group. Remove one of its key players aka the oldest member who also was the ace and yeah all the members are talented and good but like it's really stupid for people to sit there and pretend like Heesung wasn't the Ace of the group and also one of the main pillars holding it together as the oldest member and people seem to forget that the company itself wanted him to basically be the star at one point wanting him to be the leader on top of having him hold position as like main performer and vocalist. So if you remove him on top of the fact that you're removing him after he just had like 2 years straight of going viral several times with the general public outside of K-pop and outside of their fandom. It feels like it's a threat to the rest of the members like we can dismember you one by one if you don't just fall back and do what we say.

Like Sunoo & Heesung are the two members of that most non K-pop fans and non fans of them know of. I'm saying this as someone who has definitely interacted with people who have no clue who the fuck this group is but they know those two members but don't get it twisted yes people know who Jay and Jake are but they're not as popular I think as some of the fans believe them to be with like non K-pop fans. But sunoo is someone where I've had seniors at my job so these are like men and women who are in like the late 40s early 50s recognize his face they don't know who the fuck he is but they know it's face same thing with Heesung they've seen him enough times at random on the internet and on their own like personal feeds on like Instagram and shit that they know who those two people are. Like they've reached outside of the K-pop hemisphere.

So removing one of them would be a power move. Where the true sabotages coming from is the company having the members be the ones to now be reiterating the fact that there are six member group. It makes them look bad it makes it look bad because we're supposed to believe that there's no hard feelings or animosity amongst the members and that this was something planned out years ahead of time and they knew it was happening. But then they didn't properly do the sending off going away. On top of that they act like this man is Voldemort and like they can't say his name. Even though he's still an artist under their company they're still signed to the same label he has been out here doing dance challenges with every other group under the HYBE umbrella except for them. So then to have them consistently be like he's not part of the group or them being like we're six we're six member group it doesn't look good. It's basically giving leseraphim.

You have to remember when they went through their whole scandal at their debut. What made their group kind of lock in with being just mid-tier in my opinion because they had the opportunity to become bigger but the reason why they've been locked out of those conversations that bank PD is so obsessed with them being in in terms of being on the same level as like Aespa or even being able to slightly touch black pink success is them having those girls post up three different tiktoks of them basically celebrating and having fun and keeping it up while selling the idea that they're all really good friends while they're member was kicked out. The day they announced Garam was kicked out of the group was the day they decided to post that infamous fuck ass video of the girls dancing in a conga line together smiles on their face and then all hugging each other and giggling and what people seem to not understand is they literally posted that video minutes after the announcement went up. So depending on where you were you had that announcement on their Instagram and then that video right afterwards it literally look like they were celebrating the fact that they kicked out a number and that completely fucked them over with a lot of K-pop fans and casual listeners who weren't sitting there and like in-depth following everything that was happening with that whole situation it really just looked from an Outsiders point of view like they were out here celebrating the fact that they're like 16 year old member was getting kicked out of the group and all these horrendous things were happening to her especially dealing that you have to understand at that point in time the evidence that she wasn't in the wrong was already coming out. By the first like two to three months of her not being part of the group all of the people like the staff members the friends the kids who were at that school came out and talked about how this was nothing burger and they were admitting that Source music told them not to go online and defend her which made the company look even worse. Because that means the company was made aware of the situation they were also made aware of the fact that it was a nothing burger like yeah she technically got written up but it was indeed in South defense and everyone understood. There were multiple characters who had already reached out to the company and told them like yeah this is not the case. And instead of them sitting there and like actually sharing any of that while they were allegedly investigating this they just let this girl go through a smear campaign and a witch Hunt by the general public and some K-pop hands before kicking her out of a group that she trained so hard to be able to debut as an idol. Just for all the information to come out afterwards that makes it seem like the company knew damn well all this information and they refuse to share it knowing it would have cleared her name and people would have moved on and she could have still been in the group.

And it feels like they're doing something to that extent now with En-. Clearly not in the same extent but also in a slightly similar fashion. Instead of the company sitting there and being transparent about what the fuck was happening or going on they did nothing they allowed the group to sit there and basically pretend like the girl never existed when they would talk about the group they always talk about themselves as a six member group all that shit and now they're doing it again. The only difference is he was there for longer than just their debut and like 2 months.

They're kind of making the group pretend like the past 6 years didn't exist and that's going to sit weird with a lot of people. Plus En- has some of the worst parasocial fans for like a 4/5th gen group. So you're going to have those fans that are loyal to every member in the group I'm going to feel some type of way and most likely end up either becoming a more casual listener or completely dropping the group as a whole. And then you're going to have the ones that don't give a fuck because they were already solo fans in the first place because I do think people forget it does not matter what kind of survival program it is if there is a survival show you're going to have a good chunk of the fandom that genuinely is just a bunch of people who like one member and one member only. Like I've noticed this in all fandoms that have started off in a small program even when it wasn't even like a true survival program because they all end up debuting like stray kids.

My aunt and her husband are huge stays they love Shay kids I got to see them in concert during their Maniac era because of the fact that the two of them like stray kids so much and wanted to take me with them to go to a concert. I was almost a fan of theirs I again I call myself a casual fan I was there when they debuted I liked a lot of their music and up until like the maniac era I kind of soft really listening to their stuff.

But you would be surprised or unsurprised that yeah they also have a lot of solo fans that have existed since the very beginning of the group. Because they discover the group through their survival program picked a favorite and then they either kind of like everyone else like some of them are very respectful to the other members and others they don't give a fuck about anyone else in the group except for their favorite member. And that's just kind of how that works with a lot of groups that come from survival programs.

So Enhypen already have that problem to like the 10th degree because they're survival show fans are like 20 times more parasocial than normal and it makes sense because those boys were going through like fucking psychological warfare.

But when you already have a divided fandom because to this day you will still find bitches pardon my language from the survival show era who will complain about some of the seven members that did make it and talk about how insert another training who has now debuted in either a different group from a different company or under &team should have been in the group instead of whatever remember they don't like. That is something that happens way more than you would assume.

Especially dealing that again we're talking about a group that's like 6 years old but they still have these arguments. They still fight amongst each other about the mistreatment of the members. They be out here having a struggle Olympics when it's like all seven members have had some form of the company neglecting them or doing something fucked up to them in some shape way or form y'all shouldn't be arguing about who has it worse you should be pissed off at the company keeps doing it.

But when you have a group whose fandom is already built on cracked foundation and then you pull some bullshit like this and now you consistently have the members weeks after everything was said and done a whole like month plus after everything was said and done now all of a sudden they're really hammering it and really reiterating that there are six member group you're going to shatter whatever fan base you have. You're going to fuck up that fan base is going to Splinter off.

Like statistically speaking. Right now they're doing well but the true like we're going to see where this goes is when they have that six member come back. Are they still going to pull in the same numbers and I'm not even talking about just streaming cuz I feel like that's what a lot of people are going to focus on you can have one person streaming something 20 times if they have the right amount of devices and they know how to use a VPN to change their IP address. No it's going to be how well is this going to do in terms of people actually buying the album on top of that how well is this going to translate to a comeback this is basically like a debut right so you're going to have people tuning in and some of them buying the album pre-ordered anyway to see what does the six member debut after 6 years as the summer member group going to look like. And then it's going to see how well that holds are they going to continue to break records or are they going to hit a plateau where everything is going to say exactly the same or within the same percentage that they've been in for the past like two or so years or is it going to take a nose time because if it plateaused or takes a nose dive then that's it they've basically ruined the group.

You have to understand they were set up from a business point of view but also from a spiritual point of view to actually skyrocket in popularity and to actually start doing even better than they already were. Right especially dealing with how absolutely insanely viral Heesung had ended up going in like the past year. But then they sat there and took away the one person that was bringing in more non Kpop fans into paying attention to them so now they're introduction to the group is them having a member kicked out or leaving in a really weird way. And then you've pissed off the in my opinion sane part of the fandom who genuinely care about all seven members and are done with this company's bullshit. And I don't think people understand the fatigue that people who are fans of HYBE artists have.

As someone who likes multiple groups under this company I have discovered that I do not pay attention to them anymore. Nothing happened that made me dislike txt or BND. Nothing happened to make me all of a sudden not like the music that &team or Santos Bravos or any of those groups are coming out with but because of me being just so fucking fatigued with all the bullshit that's happening from the Manon situation to the new jeans and Danielle situation all the way to now this Heesung situation I'm just sick and tired. And the crazy thing is I feel like if you've been in Kpop fan long enough you know how dangerous this is cuz this is the same shit that's been happening with SM has even before they got rid of LSM. They had started making their fans of their group so fatigue that their stock and the money that they made started dipping like a genuinely started taking a bit of a nose dive compared to how much money they were making before. And they've not technically recovered from that they've plateaued with so many of their groups they hit a peak and they have yet to get out of it. They have yet to either have these groups nose dive in popularity and revenue or skyrocket in it they're just staying in a very comfortable place.

And that's like one of the worst things that can happen to an entertainment company. Like an equivalent of that I would say is like a person with ADHD right I have ADHD one of the worst things that can happen in any kind of relationship that I have friendship or romantic is for me to get bored. The worst thing you can do is not be engaging enough in terms of mentally stimulating me when we have conversations and instead coming off very dry if we go from being able to have in-depth or really good conversations to all of a sudden is one worded response or it's nothing but small talk it's the worst thing possible because one of two things are going to happen either I'm going to meet you with that energy or I'm going to completely cut you off. It's one or the other and I feel like that's the same thing with K-pop and they're industry. Because of the way that they build up the parasocial relationships when you end up having fandoms become sick and tired of the company or the bullshit the company's doing or you just have them become tired of everything that's happening if a company is consistently in controversy after controversy. Yeah you're going to have some fans which are normally the more hardcore a little too parasocial fans fighting on behalf of the company and ignoring every red flag you can see. Because they don't want to sit there and admit that yeah the industry sucks and they're technically a part of the problem. It's easier to just live in their fantasy of no everything my artist says doesn't comes out with his of their own accord they have so much freedom.

Then you have I feel like it's like a mixture of several types of fans but the ones who fall under K-pop is a hobby not a lifestyle and the this group helped me get through some shit fans. They're the ones who in my opinion from my knowledge right personal too I was more of the hardcore parasocial fan for a short amount of time as a teenager when I really got into K-pop when I couldn't afford shit. That's when I was like most deep in right and it was either other teenagers or grown women and men who are like unsatisfied in their lives that were hardcore fans like that in my opinion and from the people I've interacted with over the past decade plus of me being a K-pop fan. The people who see K-pop as a hobby are the ones who are spending more money on it they're the ones more willing to sit there and go to the fan Cafe events are the ones more willing to spend money to go to multiple concerts to buy official MD to buy the albums to collect them ECT but they're also the ones who are more willing to just say goodbye and stop interacting with a company or group when shit gets too much.

And then you have the fans where it's like this group got me through some shit like they went through it and this group was like their pillar group. They're more likely to walk away if the group starts falling apart if the company is out here tearing a group apart or the group themselves seem to have fallen out with each other they're the first ones to feel really emotional about it but then to leave. It's like they're looking at it and they're like ah you got me through a lot of shit but if I stay here any longer it's going to turn to toxic relationship so they get the fuck out. And again casual fans and the fans where it's like they have a life outside of K-pop K-pop is nothing more than a hobby for them they are also more willing to sit there and walk away. Rather than deal with all this bullshit rather than being like what the hell's going on why is the company doing this why is the members not say anything oh now all of a sudden something's happen where they have ot7 fan chants what people are still supporting Heesung as a member of the group now all of a sudden they've doubled down by having the members who up until this point were basically not allowed to really talk about the situation reiterating that there are six member group that there's only six of them it's just six of them. That's going to make those fans where this is nothing more than a hobby something that they can easily drop and walk away from decide that they no longer want to sit here and deal with this. They're going to walk away from the group and again there's nothing wrong with that I do think that way too many people think that if you're a huge fan of groups you have to be ride or die no the fuck you do not. You're a lot to walk away my thing personally is I don't think I could get back into that group and it sucks because I do like a lot of this music I do own two of their albums. But I think unless they leave that company go to a different company and redebut even if they resign with the company for another six or so years after this I do not trust the company to not pull some bullshit like this again. So I rather save myself the absolute headache or heartache of another member getting randomly yanked or kicked out by just not interacting with it.

They're basically doing the same dumb shit that SME did with the whole Riize situation. Because you can't tell me that everyone thinks that they're exactly where they should be. That group should have been exponentially more popular than they are now but because of the year-long bullshit the company went through with kicking out that member and not allowing him back and then allowing him back just to fully kick him out because they got a handful of Asian fans spending money to send funeral reefs even though the members were so excited he was coming back they were posting up about having their brother back all this cuz clearly they wanted him back he wanted to be back. Just for them to ruin that shit in less than 24 hours mind you they went from having lost half of their following and people stop streaming them to all of a sudden they're followers and their streaming numbers went up within the first 2 hours of them announcing that the member was back in the group just for them to plumb it again when they officially announced that they were fully kicking him out.

Not to mention after they fully kicked him out regardless of what they did with that group they lost a huge chunk of the fan base and they did lose a huge chunk for two reasons one this was a really long thought out boycott that people participated in for a year they did everything they could because the reasons he will kicked out was like the dumbest reasons you can possibly think of. Finally thinking the company has changed just for them to get fucking kicked in the face again with a company being like now we decided he's like fully no longer in the group.

And the second part is people were already fatigued from SME this company has already sat there and basically done this shit several times before. They had fans go through this bullshit before NCT debuted and they had like the rookies and then half of those dudes ended up not debuting and they left with other companies from the whole situation they had with EXO how mistreated some of the members were especially the foreign members and all the lawsuits that mind you SM won all of those lawsuits or they came to an agreement. Which is why I think people using the fact that Ador one against new jeans as very fucking stupid because again even other lawsuits help BBC and Loona. Chu was the only member who won her lawsuit I believe and maybe one other the first time around all the rest of the members lost they only got out of their contracts because the company messed up and was forging the girls signatures for contracts that they didn't agree to. And the girls found out about it.

But that aside because of the fact that this is an ongoing pattern from jyj to EXO SME fans were just so done with it. So they would rather just drop a group if some bullshit like this is a possibility of someone getting kicked out then to just deal with actually sitting there and seeing what may happen and then you also have to remember they lost a huge chunk of fans during the peak of their stalker era where they have those two stalkers that showed up everywhere and people were literally sending in evidence to the company that one of their managers was friends with one of these women who are following them around. The manager even admitted to the fact that he was friends with her but said he never told her the schedule of his groups and shared that stuff so why she stopping friends with her when it's like she's literally stalking your clients maybe that's why.

But because of that situation happening and company doing nothing they lost more fans again. Now they have enough fans for them to survive and stay relevant enough that the company will keep giving them come back but they're nowhere near as popular as they would have been and should have been.

And I feel like that fatigue is starting to happen with groups under HYBE and I feel like it's gotten to the point where a lot of their groups are starting to plateau way sooner than they should because people are just like they're not willing to invest in them when there's a possibility they can get kicked out we have like three for three in one year. When the company's clearly showing that they would rather sit there and have SLAAP lawsuits against their artist that they know they're going to lose just wasting money for the sake of their egos and being right rather than just being professional. Like it has nothing to do with the artist but it's going to affect them the most.

It also doesn't help that it seems like quite a few of the groups are I'm assuming contractually obligated to thank evil piggy bank at least once a year in a speech. Which also brings further fatigue among friends but also makes some of them be like if you keep thinking this fraudulent man if it's a contractual and the way they thank him sometimes like even if it's not true the only thing we can see about this artist is what the company allows them to show so if all you're able to show us is being content even if you're not with a member being kicked out with thinking a man who's committed fraud and with listening to a company that clearly doesn't care about you. It's going to make people be like I'd rather just jump ship now and no longer interact with this group rather than sit here and try to figure out what the fuck is real what is it what they actually think about things and what the company's making them say because at the end of the day it's all just really fucked up.

So... they finally fixed the glass panel on my balcony. 🎉

They randomly showed up yesterday literally as I was getting home from the grocery store, and I was SO thankful because I genuinely feel like if I had been out another ten minutes they would've left and I would've had to wait even longer.

The whole thing ended up taking several hours because apparently they were missing a piece??? Which still confuses me because... there wasn't any glass left. 😭 If you guys saw my original post, you know the entire panel was gone. It was literally just the metal frame they had to install the new glass into. Somehow a piece was missing anyway, and it took them about an hour to figure that out.

Meanwhile it was hot as hell outside.

I had my fan running because there was absolutely no way I was keeping the AC on while they had my balcony door wide open and were constantly walking in and out of my apartment. My balcony is on the opposite side from my front door, so they were basically trekking through my dining room, living room, and kitchen all afternoon.

I did end up vacuuming after they left because... I don't wear outdoor shoes inside my apartment. 😅 Obviously I wasn't about to ask construction workers to take their boots off and wear my guest slippers, so it is what it is.

And yes, before anyone asks, I still have carpet. My grandmother had the carpet installed years ago because the tile underneath was already in terrible shape. Even back then it was cheaper to put new carpet over it than repair the flooring, and now it would cost even more. So... the carpet stays until I eventually sell the unit or die.

Anyway...

Finding an old journal from 2018 actually gave me an idea for a fun little manifestation experiment.

I was flipping through one of my old notebooks and found pages where I had written about the kinds of K-pop groups I wished would debut someday.

Not actual existing groups.

Just concepts.

The funny thing is... three of those concepts ended up becoming groups that eventually debuted.

I had pages talking about wanting a super youthful, refreshing five-member girl group with a very soft, feminine image that focused more on nostalgia than girl crush. Years later, NewJeans debuted.

I also wrote about wanting another story-driven boy group because I missed when groups fully committed to lore. I loved older groups like Boyfriend 😍 and VIXX🤩 for that reason. BTS also had an incredible storyline during The Most Beautiful Moment in Life era, and I always wished more groups would go all in on world-building.

Around that same time I had also fallen back into my Twilight obsession, so naturally vampires and supernatural concepts were living rent free in my brain. Looking back, it honestly feels like I accidentally described groups like ENHYPEN🧛🏼 and &TEAM🐺 before they even existed.

And here's the thing...

It's actually really hard for me to get into boy groups.

I've never been someone who stans people just because they're attractive. The music has to click. The concept has to be interesting. There has to be something beyond visuals.

For SEVENTEEN🕺🏼 it was their choreography first, then eventually their personalities because I used to throw on hours-long fan-uploaded livestreams in the background while I studied.

With ENHYPEN, I liked the concept immediately, but it actually took me a while to become more than a casual listener because the members were so young when they debuted. Some of those early songs felt a little too heavy on innuendo for my personal comfort, so I waited until they were older before I really got invested in watching variety content and everything else outside the music.

Which brings me back to manifestation.

Sometimes you'll randomly imagine something that doesn't exist.

Maybe it's a game.

Maybe it's a TV show.

Maybe it's a music group.

Years ago I remember thinking, "I wish there was a life simulator like The Sims, but way more realistic. Something with GTA-level graphics, detailed family gameplay, and hyper-realistic customization."

Fast forward...

Games like inZOI start getting announced.

Now, obviously I'm not saying I single-handedly created these things. 😂

I'm saying I think we accidentally manifest experiences into our lives more often than we realize.

So here's my challenge for you guys:

Create your dream K-pop group.

Seriously.

Don't overthink it.

Give yourself complete freedom.

What's the age range?

How many members?

What genre?

What aesthetic?

What kind of performances?

Do they have lore?

Do they come from a huge company or a tiny one?

Name the group if you want.

Go absolutely wild.

I'm doing it too.

I created an entire concept for a early to mid-20s R&B-focused boy group that's run by a smaller company. I even imagined the CEO. 😂 In my head he's an Asian man married to a Black woman who's incredibly passionate about teaching artists to appreciate cultures instead of appropriating them while focusing on powerhouse vocals, performance skills, and that nostalgic late '90s/early 2000s R&B feeling.

I even imagined how they'd be promoted before debut.

Then...

I let it go.

I'm not obsessing over it.

I'm not checking every entertainment company every day.

I just thought, "That would be cool," and tossed the idea out into the universe.

And honestly?

Because I have zero emotional attachment to whether it happens, I genuinely wouldn't be shocked if five months from now I randomly stumbled across a group that feels weirdly similar.

That's actually why I think this works as such a fun manifestation exercise.

You're not desperate.

You're not anxious.

You're not waiting every five minutes.

You're literally just playing.

Sometimes those are the easiest things to manifest because there's no resistance attached to them.

It's the same reason I've done this with YouTube.

I've literally sat on my balcony talking to myself about the exact kinds of creators I wanted to find, then forgotten about it. A little while later YouTube starts recommending people I probably never would've found otherwise.

And before anyone says, "Your phone was listening..."

My phone usually isn't even with me when I do this. 😂

I purposely leave it inside because I get distracted easily, and because I am the kind of person who has accidentally dropped enough things off my balcony that... we're not going to discuss it. 💀

I even wear eyeglass chains now because I nearly launched my glasses over the edge one too many times.

That was probably TMI, but I like sharing random little life facts with you guys.

So yeah.

Try it.

Create your dream K-pop group.

Or your dream YouTuber.

Or your dream game.

Or your dream TV show.

Make it ridiculously specific.

Then let it go.

Worst case scenario, you had fun being creative for an hour.

Best case scenario?

A year from now you're staring at your screen thinking...

"Hold on... why does this feel exactly like something I imagined?"

And if nothing else, it's a fun reminder that your imagination is a lot more expansive than you probably give it credit for.

This fandom still confuses me. Because why are y'all not all but some of y'all still in denial that these guys who are contract workers are not going to say whatever the hell the company is telling them to say or talk about.

It has been several months instead of the company being the one to come out you know their actual CEO who mind you had no problem doing an entire hour-long video claiming that they weren't copying another girl group while giving indisputable evidence that they were indeed absolutely copying the other girl group how come he couldn't come out and make a video or post talking about how they came to conclusion of breaking up this group within their last year of their contract.

How come the members can't say his name mind you they're still label meats Heesung still works in the same building as Enhypen he has literally done dance challenges with other HYBE artist including illit so you can't even say it's oh they don't want him to interact with his label mates. If they really wanted to sell this and make people believe that this was perfectly fine and that they had been planning this for apparently allegedly two to three years and the members are okay with it and he's okay with it why the fuck aren't they interacting with each other?

Why go through all of this BS for almost half a year now it feels like of having him be a part of some advertisements and things having him not be a part of others talking about how this was planned out and then having the advertisement people say that they had no fucking clue he was leaving the group. Why is it there and have him be actively a part of the group for a comeback you knew he was leaving halfway through and having him be the one to drop hint at them performing in Australia and him be the one to talk about wanting to work with the group for many years to come knowing he was leaving in a few months knowing he was going to be gone in a week or two it makes no sense.

Heesung was an example. I have come to the conclusion that this company does not run like a company I've said it before it runs like a high school where evil piggy bank is the head jock and mean kid and I feel like this along with the Danielle and Manon thing kind of proves it for me.

Okay let me sit here and give you a hypothetical but also this is what I've seen from other x K-pop idols talking about this and also this is things that I've seen people do in the fashion industry if you're like a model and you become more famous Etc right so I would imagine it's the same in the music industry.

Heesung has gone viral multiple times specifically with non Kpop fans over the past 2 years. This kind of global popularization and the fact that he is the oldest member means that he might have decided to try to use that as leverage. The thing is K-pop idols when they become bigger more popular and they have more eyes on them they can use that as leverage during contract negotiations.

They can be like hey see I have all these people who don't even listen to this genre of music and they're very interested in me and they're becoming very interested in the group. So how about you allow us to do some solo things to have a proper break to not go on tour for 2 years straight right you trying to negotiate shit like that you try to negotiate getting paid if you're not being paid or having a better split with the payment and it not being like 30/70 you try to negotiate better terms and deals for yourself and your group. This is like their last year in the company so they're already talking contract renewals that conversation starts happening a year and a half before the contracts up most of the time sometimes even 2 years before the contracts up.

There's only two members that have consistently gone viral the oldest member and one of the three youngest members Sunoo that Heesung always takes care of the members even if he's not the leader so why would he sit there and put that pressure on one of the younger members when he could leverage his own popularity that he's gaining and that's exactly what I think happened and I think what went down basically was a oh so this is how you feel well let me show you why that's not going to work.

So they separate him from the rest of the group decide he's now going to be a solo artist and then allow for him to experience the one of the worst absolute fucking hate trains you can imagine. Allow for him in the members to see how deeply rooted the company is within the fandom that the fandom is not only fighting each other but some of them are actually turning on the group and turning on him. I've said this before this company has purposely created fandoms that they can control.

HYBE from what I have observed has created a fandoms that I don't even think they realize this but they trust and Believe in the company first and the artist second. Right they have managed to warp the perception of their fandoms so that the fandoms don't even realize because I've had a conversation or two with some of the fans that do defend this shit or are completely oblivious to the fact that they're being played and when you talk to them it is so obvious.

Like very obvious that they're unaware of the fact that they actually trust and like the company before they actually trust or like their artists. And the company did this on purpose so that they can use that as leverage because I definitely believe that there is a 99% possibility that that's what they used as they're scare tactic. That's what they were doing here and now with this group. They basically told them you would be nothing without the company because your fans trust us before they trust you and they've been proven right.

The thing is all of a sudden the fans weren't acting the way they wanted them to right you have to understand the Korean fans have basically not all but a lot of them turn their backs on Heesung to some degree and have been blaming him for everything same with a couple of the other Asian fandoms. Because of this they genuinely believe that that's how all the fans were viewing this but then for the boys to go on tour and to have concerts overseas where people were still saying the ot7 fan Chants it kind of shook them because they were like oh hell no we can't still have y'all not falling in line so instead they decided to have the leader sit there and have this conversation on a live stream out of nowhere at random.

My thing is this I genuinely believe that the members do not want the fandom to fight that's the last thing they want but I also think the reason why they don't want the fandoms to fight is for two reasons. Reason one it would prove to them that the company was correct that their fans care about the company that they're in rather than the group themselves and nobody wants to believe that all of their hard work and sacrifice is basically useless if they leave an abusive company. And the second one is I again still believe that the company is probably putting pressure on them. You have to understand that everything that we've seen about this company has shown us that. They are more willing to put blame on their artists and to throw them under the bus than to actually take accountability for Jack shit. I wouldn't be surprised if they put a lot of the pressure.

In terms of the finances that they have to make to pay back and the records and shit that they probably stupidly projected to their shareholders we're going to happen so they can receive more money onto their artist. They are the only group currently making money for be shit. They have a girl group that they have basically self-sabotage and thrown into the fiery pits of hell for a God who is basically just an overgrown evil pig and The wizard of Oz rolled into one he has no power but he is a consistently on a power trip.

And we are also aware that they are in debt to HYBE and that's something I think people don't talk enough about. K-pop idols have already talked about how bad it is to already be in debt regardless of how big your company is when you debut and then you know you're basically paying half for everything but this company is a whole another level of oh they're really trying to trap all of these artists and companies because they have to pay again a monthly fee. And from what we've seen about the monthly fee it depends on two things one that there is a flat rate fee and two apparently the fee can go up depending on how many artists you have in your company which is why they have so many smaller companies that only have one or two artists because they probably couldn't afford to pay a higher fee it's basically like paying for guests at a wedding it feels like.

BeLift now has two groups meaning that their fee went from whatever the fuck it was for having one group to now however much money they have to pay back for having two groups and for allowing HYBE to be there distributor which is insane because I don't think there are any other distributors that make you pay the monthly so even if they're artists aren't actively working or coming out with an album they have to pay them every month. And I've said it before that's like thinking about having a fucking apartment in New York right one of the fancy apartments that are stupidly amount of money even though it's not like the most spacious sometimes. If they're out here having to pay like a $2500 fee every month and let's say every comeback if they don't do touring because that's where most of the money comes from they only bring in on average about like maybe $3,000 right because they normally lose money going on to the K-pop performance shows I always want to call them like the freaking MTV shows because that's what MTV used to be. So they lose money every time they send them on one of the MTV shows right they lose money technically speaking when they do the fan meets and the fan sites that's more so just so they can keep the fans involved but they're not really making a shit ton of money off of the tickets that they sell there and they have to pay for the venue the staff they have to pay for the makeup and hair the outfit everything right unless they are doing an ambassadorship and using clothing sent to them by a brand.

So they're not making a lot of money and then they decide okay touring we make a shit ton of money off of this every time you send them on tour we are able to make a profit like as soon as the tour is announced we're basically breaking even just with the selling of the tickets. More than enough money to pay the rest of the rent for you know renting out the venues, then the MD that we sell at the concerts on average we sell enough to make a profit after breaking even for how much money we have to pay for the staff members that we have there security guards the whole nine yards. So we do this on a world tour scale we could make about will sit there and say something like they're stopping on almost all the continents and like several cities on each one so let's say like 50 mil right.

Out of that 50 mil they now have to deduct everything so even though they're on tour they still have to pay that monthly fee so that monthly fee has to get paid every month even if they're on tour for basically all 12 months, then they also have to pay for bored and food and that price has gone up because they're on tour so not only are they paying for the dormitory even if they're not using it they also have to pay for all of the hotel rooms food is covered so any food that the company is buying for staff and the idols of room service at the hotel all that. If they go out to eat that's their own money. They also have to now pay for all of the extra backup dancers cuz these are more people than they normally would have because sometimes they actually fly out their backup dancers that's still expensive cuz now you're also paying for all of their tickets and their food and all of that that's covered for by the group and the company. Or they have to pay different fees to have a bunch of different backup dancers for whatever continent they're on and again still paying for transportation still paying for hotels still paying for their food it's a lot of fucking money. It's expensive to go on vacation solo and stay at nice places let alone with so many people like for example say you decide to go to New York and your one is stay at a nice hotel right K-pop idols and their staff are not staying at a cheap motel they're staying at one of the fancier ones.

Whether you're talking the hilton, the Ritz any of those hotels on average a cheap the cheapest room you can get there for one person is like $880 something dollars. The average like nice room that can suit like two people you're looking at around $3,000 and this is per night if you're staying at like the penthouse suite or one of the really nice ones it's somewhere between $5,000 or more per night. Now imagine spending somewhere between like $12,000 per night for like a the small Idol group of like I don't know freaking four or five people. And you also have to pay about that much maybe a little less depending on how cheap you're going for the staff members for all of their rooms too and again it's more money when you're getting a double room like a double bedded room then a single room I just gave you the prices that you can literally find online for a single room like one bed at these fairly nice hotels and mind you a lot of these K-pop idols they're doing these tours in these big cities where yeah it's more expensive.

So you take all that into consideration and 90% of these companies under the yellow corporation are probably barely making any form of a profit. The last thing they need is for the fandom to be pissed off enough that they actually start boycotting them that they actually stop giving them money they cannot afford that.

They're in more debt most likely than the average college student in America and that's saying a lot. So of course they're going to need to do damage control and the easiest way for them to do damage control that makes the most sense because who are the fans going to believe the company or the idols.

So then they have a conversation with the leader or with the whole group and they're like y'all need to convince your fans that this is what y'all wanted that this is perfectly fine. You have to understand we are still in charge of y'all y'all still owe us money. Like Korean entertainment companies are no different than those like really shitty ass debt collectors you see in the k-dramas that is what they are. K-pop idols even when they leave their company unless the company is nice enough to dissolve their debt which most companies aren't even if they leave they still have to pay them back. That's why some idols find it hard to find a new company and they end up just starting their own or they start working other jobs while trying to figure out how to come out with music because they still have to pay back those corporations. Depending on how much money and again they could tack on random ass fees like you have to pay us a $50 fee every time one of y'all flushes the damn toilet.

Because that's not illegal who knows how much debt Enhypen might technically be in with their company. It also one of the reasons why I say yeah I might decide Illit a little bit but I also know that there's no way in hell that those girls aren't in immense debt to that company so like yeah they probably going to do whatever the fuck the company says so the company says you're going to sit here and you're going to personally be a part of this lawsuit then they're going to fucking do it because they already owe the company money that they can't pay back and isn't even their fault because the company again set them the fuck up. But companies also do this on purpose as much as people would like to think oh they would never do that cuz they want profit the thing is they can still make a profit off of a group while keeping them in debt.

They could still technically be making money while still having their sub dairy groups all the money. There's a reason why evil piggy bank is as rich as he is outside of the fraud. If he's sitting there making all this money from all these other smaller companies that are under his bigger distribution company and he's tacking on these fees or he's having the smaller companies put all these fees on to the idols to keep them in the company cuz like where the fuck are you going to go if you owe a company like $100,000 in that that's going to be really hard for you to make back when the only thing you have on your resume is being a fucking K-pop Idol for the past like 7 years and before then again a lot of these not all but a lot of these idols weren't working before because so many of them get scouted when they're like fucking elementary Middle schools kids.

That's going to be really hard to do so instead you can't end up stuck at this company you don't want to be at until you can pay them back if you can ever pay them back. Sometimes your group just stops being popular and then all of a sudden they're like well does off your debt and you can leave because now you won't be competition if you left. Or in some cases which I don't think is ever going to happen again this stopped happening in like 3rd gen it feels like the group gets so big that they're bigger than the company. The company can no longer hold certain things over their heads because they're making so much individually let alone as a group that they genuinely could just up and leave whenever they want.

Enhypen does not have that leverage. If be shit was a regular company right a regular mid to small size company cuz they would fall under the larger small / a small mid-size company. Then Enhypen would definitely have leverage and more say they would actually be able to negotiate things and probably get better treatment but because of the fact that they're just one artist in one company under HYBE they don't have that. Like again when you realize that the BTS members barely had as much leverage as you think they would have when they resigned / extended their contracts what the fuck makes you think that they would allow any of their smaller groups to have leverage.

Anyway on to the next topic.

I think it's funny the media play because they're basically sharing information about shit we already knew.

Friendly reminder the whole like copyright lawsuit for those two songs have been going on right the allegations have been going on and they reported about it since late last year. When this entire court case against new jeans started this was already something that was happening. And it was basically kind of just brushed off and dismissed because no that isn't exactly what happened it was a fucking sample mind you the people who are suing them also sampled that sample from older songs.

But now all of a sudden it's being blown out of proportion and exaggerated for the sake of them being able to be like see the girls themselves were copying people and they also have no originality and it's funny as hell. But what really pisses me off is I noticed there's these three YouTubers specifically one's a white girl once this black older woman and ones this man.

I have never seen them covered Jack diddly fucking shit in K-pop that has happened as much as they've been covering this and they're always on the side of the corporation and I am convinced that they're fucking paid by them. Don't let their janky ass setups fool you don't let their 2000's digicam looking footage fool you don't let their non-crisp audio fool you these people are being paid there's no way in hell that they especially the ones cuz two of them are beyond grown ass adults they're old enough to be my fucking parents and my parents are in their 50s and '60s. Are out here siding with a goddamn Mega corporation over five young girls. And mind you is not even like they're just hating on mhj because at least then I'm like okay I can kind of see you being dumb enough to fall for that propaganda but like no they're like hating all the members of themselves the same as the members are so stupid they don't feel like they were manipulated they had such a good thing at that company not realizing it's not the same company.

That's the one thing I think people who keep talking about the NJZ situation don't seem to understand.Ador fired all of the original staff except for that one chick who decided to stay. Everyone else was either fired they were put on probation or their life was made a living hell like x people who used to work there literally talked about that and said that they had to they just quit because they basically do this all the time right people don't seem to understand in East Asia there is this thing that they do because firing you is actually a hassle for the company. So instead they basically bully you out of the company they'll have everyone else in the company not talk to you they'll tell everyone to isolate you they'll tell them if you walk into a room and they're talking be quiet when they walk by. Be very cold and like to the point when you're talking to them give them mediocre task they'll just have them constantly trying to figure something out that they can't do right it's basically just like busy work until it gets so bad the environment and the hostility that they'll just quit.

Like this is a thing If you ever watched even YouTube channels of people who have worked abroad in Korea or Japan you'll know this is a thing because even they have dealt with it because sometimes they'll hire foreign people because it makes them look good and then when they no longer need them they can't just fire them. That's too much paperwork and you do have to play unemployment in those countries if they are fired so instead of doing that the easiest thing to do is make them want to quit. And as long as you're not blatantly doing something that comes off as like actual workplace harassment it works. If everyone in the workplace is just ignoring you and being cold to you giving you the cold shoulder but they're not like verbally berating you no one's putting hands on you they're just forgetting to tell you about a meeting they're not keeping you updated with things they're purposely giving you a bunch of work that you will never be able to finish. That's not seen as bullying it's just oh now you don't like your job if that's the case then just quit.

So if none of the original staff members are there anymore what makes people think that the girls would be treated the same way they were. They have none of their original producers because they're all being sued by the company too, mhj was their main creative director but outside of her the other senior creative director has been fired they only have that one girl she wasn't even a senior creative director. Their stylists have all been fired from hair to make up they don't even have the same managers anymore their managers were fired so what makes you think that that's not going to be a hostile environment that they're just going to be trapped in until their contracts are over. And then speaking of contracts they might not even be able to leave in 2027 if the company decides to sit there and again give them a bunch of random fucking debt that's what people aren't looking at. Mhj did it to a point where the girls didn't owe her a bunch of debt to the company. Within their first year they were able to not only pay back all of the debt that they owed to their company and to HYBE but they were genuinely making a profit. That's why I think the company ramped Up this hate train against them and decided to go after the girls and mhj because they no longer had the leverage and that's what everyone seems to not be understanding.

Hybe needs to have this leverage over these companies that they can keep making the money that they're making so that they can keep trying to beat their way until the top three companies cuz they still technically have it made more money than the other main three companies I think they're getting pretty close to it or once or twice they have overtaken yg.

But for them to be able to do something that has never been done before which is basically to bully their way into the top three K-pop companies and make a name for themselves solidify that they have to have the talent and the star power they cannot have that on their own. They need to have all of these smaller sub dairy companies. They need to be able to control them so that they can keep having them have these comebacks in these world tours and do all this stuff and the only way to do that is to have them be in debt to them.

So if they can no longer control them with money and them being in debt then they try to control them with fear or will ruin your reputation that backfired because they refuse to just bow down and be like oh where is so sorry we did this that's not what we mean we'll listen to you evil Porky the pig overlord. That's why we are where we're at currently.

And what I think is crazy is the fact that when all of this first started happening there were so many actors actresses idols producers people who showed that they were on the side of new jeans and technically they still are on the side of the girls they just don't talk about it because like it's an ongoing case it's been ongoing for about a fucking year now. But all of a sudden all of those people were wrong and they know nothing about the entertainment industry or how shitty it is or how company's purposely try to keep you in debt or how they manipulate people and all those people who want change in the industry even now they still talk about wanting there to be more fail-saves for the idols things that would protect them because again they don't have a union they have no laws and regulations to protect them they're not considered office workers but they also don't have the same rights as regular contract workers where you can leave your contract for reasonable reasons. So they're kind of stuck in this weird limbo where they really are kind of just seen as property and that sucks. And so you still have all these celebrities fighting for this yet somehow people still think the girls are in the wrong even though again the law has been on their side with the exception of that one judge who clearly had ties to bang PD.

And it's like all of those people are just in the wrong and are consistently in the wrong? Like it don't make no damn sense and like I said getting back to those three people specifically that keep seeing and I keep having to tell YouTube and all my other social medias I don't want to see their faces. I have never seen them cover anything else as intensely as they're covering this and then the way that they're covering it is very biased. And people will be like see this person over there talking and it's like no they don't because they're only looking at it from a biased view of the company is right.

Like I've seen actual good thing pieces and like videos here and there done by non K-pop fans even on Chinese social media people who aren't fans of K-pop who've talked about everything that's going on with this and they're neutral and they can see that the corporation is in the wrong. The only thing they say the girls might have done wrong is not good enough evidence. As in they didn't stay in the company long enough for the company to start doing dumb shit like taunting them or showing that they aren't going to do anything for the girls or purposely trying to sabotage them so they had enough evidence that even with a corrupt judge the judge wouldn't be able to sit there and be like yeah no none of this is like bad. Or if the judge tried to do that they could release the shit publicly because technically you wouldn't be against the law for them to do that and if the public saw that and other lawmakers and it's like this is clearly neglect or abuse or a breach of contract get them the fuck out of there they would have had a higher chance of getting the fuck out of there.

I've seen lawyers both International and from Korea talking about how the girls did everything correct they were not breaking laws like some people are saying with like the giving them 30 days to fix or give them an explanation for things and their contract. Sitting there and breaking the contract the way that they did and lawyering up or any of that so again it's like you have to be extremely ignorant or just really biased to sit there and still think the company's in the right.

And that's not even looking at the facts of how often this company likes to make examples out of people. I was talking with my aunt who's the army the other day. We were talking about that time when JK had his shares in the company low-key stolen and how they were trying to buy properties under the company's name with his money and how weird that was but then we realized that that happened right after the rainbow heart controversy where he showed support for new jeans. V when he sat there and had to talk about not one of his text messages out there but then when you looked into it those text messages that ended up getting late by that journalist was a journalist that has been paid by HYBE on multiple occasions and when you realize that the company had actually asked for a copy of all of mhj's evidence that she handed into the courts and they gave it to them meaning that they were the ones who got that screenshot of the text messages meaning they were the ones who purposely sat there and did this to their own member of one of their own groups. And it makes sense because he was the other BTS member that seemed to have shown solidarity with the girls. SVT when you look at the members who also showed solidarity with the girls and which of those members all ended up in some weird ass scandals that made absolutely zero fucking sense. Manon and her situation. People overlook that she was also one of the only members who talked about new jeans being one of her favorite artists she was one of the only members that showed any form of empathy for the girls she was also one of the only artists who sat there and openly was against the genocide that mind you the company has literal IDF soldiers working for them.

Then all of a sudden she's on hiatus for health reasons even though she publicly went out of her way to let the fans know that she was perfectly fine. This company makes examples out of any of their artists who do not fall in line and do what they say.

This company has one of the biggest PR firms backing them. The only reason why I'm not super worried about everything is because one of their biggest con men have already jumped ship.

Stumbled upon this video on the internet and was like damn I genuinely do forget how talented some idols are because I don't listen to their groups or they have like exited the radar of groups that I occasionally get recommended on youtube.

keyveatz just made their debut and I didn't watch the music video when it first dropped I got recommended it and today I decided to watch their live performance and then I watched the MV and I had to go look up their ages right.

Because I feel like there's a difference between people who might be in their mid to late twenties or who might have lived in Western communities for a while and are into like hip hop and R&B and decide to go that route with their music versus like fairly young people who probably like the aesthetic of it but no nothing of it and then they come from companies where I don't trust them with a 20-ft pole near Black culture you couldn't pay me to trust them.

And a group of girls where the oldest member is 20 years old and they seem to be between ages of 20 and 18 I don't know if I trust that any of them actually know jack shit about hip hop and or r&b. Mainly because most kids in a fucking America where the genres are from barely no jacket about actual hip hop or R&B so I'm not expecting a bunch of foreign kids to know. That's not even getting to all the atrocities of things that have happened over the years with aomg and like I don't know if I can trust the people there because we couldn't trust them before. Like I feel like people forget that like Jay Park might not be the CEO of aomg anymore but he still owns the company from what I can tell I don't think he ever sold his part because he is the founder of the company so like he still has a say he's no different basically than a evil piggy bank or BHS or even a jyp where it's like yeah they're no longer actively CEOs but they're the biggest shareholders and technically have the most say in their groups and the company and what is and isn't allowed to happen and again he doesn't have the best track record.

And honestly I've said it before and I'll say it again Jay Park is basically just bang PD 2.0 in my opinion. Both of them have this weird obsession with black culture and using it to create groups to try and take over the music waves they're both egotistical and self-centered in terms of they want people to know who the fuck they are and consistently try to latch on Like A parasite to whichever of their groups are the most popular or people are talking about the most because people forget that Jay did the same shit when he acquired two members of Got7 and you saw him doing quite a bit of content mentioning them or having them around and trying to use it as his haha got you moment against his ex CEO even though it's like sir you got kicked out of your group because you didn't have the best homies and they couldn't keep the fact that you were talking shit about South Korea a secret like that has nothing to do with your ceo. There's only so much that man could have done to save your ass because the Korean general public were pissed off and did not like him.

Lngshot I can kind of sort of sit there and give a little bit of a pass to just because you have one member who legitimately seem to have been part of the underground rap community so know something to some extent even if they are hella young. I'm from the conversations that they've done in a handful of the interviews where Jay isn't a part of it seems that Lewis's parents both his mom and dad have an appreciation for R&B music to some extent so he at least seems like he grew up listening to this shit. The other two seemed perfectly fine like I'm not going to sit here and shit on a teenage boy who ended up liking hip hop and has kind of made it part of his personality I feel like that happens to every fucking teenage kid at some point so that's not something I didn't mad at I'm just like I hope these people around him to allow him to explore that while also being like hey let's also be appreciative of the culture without appropriating it that isn't like you know Jay because that man doesn't know the difference. Or for being more honest he doesn't give a fuck as long as he has his little herd of Jay Walker's who will forever sit there and defend the fuck out of whatever this grown ass man does because they refuse to even call out the creepy shit he does this start off as a rant slightly about how weird I think it is that so many groups now come out with hip hop and R&B concepts when they're so fucking young and know nothing about hip hop or R&B but let's talk about the whole Jay Park and bang PD just being two sides of the same coin the only difference is we like one of them cuz they're attractive I guess cuz I don't like either one of those men if you sat there and paid me a billion bucks to like them I still wouldn't . If jigsaw came to fucking life and kidnapped me along with the two of them and sat there and said there's one gun with one bullet one of y'all has to sacrifice yourself for the rest of y'all to come out I will find a way for that one bullet to hit both of them so that I could leave in the world does not have to deal with them. I would rather sit there and be locked away in maximum security prison in solitary confinement for an entire decade then have to like either one of those men and mind you this is coming from someone who actually used to like Jay Park like his music was the soundtrack for my late teens and early twenties. And then he started really showing his ass because he really got popular especially with black people and then just started disrespecting every fucking body from the Muslims to the blacks to the browns hell he even sat there occasionally and still shitted on Korean people and it's like damn for pretty fucking average height / short dude you sure do have a huge ass ego.

But let's start off with like basic facts bang PD became a producer a CEO because he was basically jealous of his friend JY Papi being successful with his company and his groups and being tied to them and he said how dare I not be famous too mind you he also wanted to be an artist like people who kind of forget this baby wanted to actually debut but he didn't have the talent or the looks. And you could tell he didn't have the talent because there are a lot and I mean a lot of Korean artists that are amazing fucking singers and there's quite a few of them that are on the bigger side for men and no one really gives the fuck at the fact that they're a bit oversized some of them wear glasses and they're like very average looking ass men because they're stupidly talented have you seen who some of the kings of osts are one of my like introductions to like just Korean artist and not K-pop and me falling in love with it was me accidentally stumbling across the song The reason I became a singer. And I was genuinely surprised that wow he's so fucking talented and then seeing how popular he was because I was like I genuinely did think that this country was a little bit more shallow than they actually are in terms of that they wouldn't let anyone that they didn't deem as some sort of attractive be a celebrity but it's like nah that's an average looking chubby dude but he has pipes and he can sing so I understand sometimes talent can exceed the aesthetic need for attractiveness.

But anyway one started his own company because he failed at being an actual artist the other one eventually started a company because they thought that the K-pop system soft which it did. But also let's be honest part of it was because they did some dumbass shit and then felt like they wanted to one up their ex company. Ironically both of them have the exact same like starting point jype jyp entertainment a jyp is the reason we have these two men and I think that that is quite the coincidence and the fact that it happened twice maybe we need to make sure that jyp and his company stops hiring these type of men we don't need any more of them.

Both of them have egos that are bigger than logic. Bang PD sat there and decided you know what he watched jyp struggle with his company his groups like people forget twice only sold like 700 copies of their debut album while SM and YG had their groups out here selling thousands a copies for their debut albums twice was actually considered a flop group for the first like 3 years of their career. Like they were getting International fan base but they also weren't that popular people weren't buying their albums they weren't really streaming their music like it genuinely took years for them to get to where they're at now.

Even with them coming from one of the big three you have to understand that jype was at the bottom of the totem pole why did you entertainment was actually top to with SME, SM has never not been number one.

But bang PD knew that that underdog Story sold so he purposely sat there and had BTS and their trainees and like the shittiest of conditions. Mind you this man comes from a wealthy family his family is considered upper middle class or lower upper class in South korea. He has several family members including his own parents and siblings who are alumni to some of the biggest universities in korea. He has ties before he even became a CEO for music in the music and business industry this man was not poor he had more than enough money to fund a company and do better than he did he didn't want to because he wanted to sell the underdog Story there is a reason why literally look at every single group every single one. Every single one of them has some kind of scandal that happened at the beginning of their careers The only Exception tool that rule is txt and they are quite literally the outlier and like the stepchild he doesn't like in the first place. Like they didn't do well riding off of the hotels of BTS like he thought they would when they first debuted so he basically neglected them for several years while they steadily grew fan base without him or his team really doing jack shit for them and then once they became more popular all of a sudden he was like my sons. But every group after txt that he debuted has some kind of fucking underdog Story or some kind of struggle that happened with either multiple members or one of the members.

Jay Park literally was used for years as the underdog Story idol. He sat there and got kicked out of his group because of him being a dumb teenager / young adult and his 20s and saying some technically fucked up Loki racist type shit about his own people. Got sent back to America had no clue what he wanted to do he had nothing lined up for him and then started posting up covers on YouTube and then eventually that got him popular once again primarily because he was an attractive looking Asian dude with a couple of tattoos at that point in time who technically does have a talented singing voice.

If I remember the timeline correctly it was the end of 2011 beginning of 2012 is when Jay Park started going viral and people started Loving him. Then 2013 is when he had his big break with Joah . SidusHQ if I remember correctly is who ended up signing him after he left jype in 2010 so he signed with them in like the end of 2011 beginning of 2012. Then he's out there and left them because he didn't feel like they were doing his music right came out with the single it was one of the five singles that he had released over the course of that 2012-2013 year and then established aomg and H1GHR music during that 2013-2017 time period.

Because he came out with I own these two albums by him new breed in 2012 which again was the one that kind of started getting people talking about him again and then he came out with the five singles and 2013 and then in 24 he came out with evolution and that was basically his breakout album and his second studio album and that's what solidified him as like the Wonder Dog come back story cuz it was like he got kicked out for the things he said but he was so young and it was a culture shock even though it's like you can have culture shock and not talk shit about the people in the country is not that hard especially with him being a little Asian boy from America he should have known better. But I digress he did that.

He was making money moves I'm also pretty sure that at this point in time this is when his parents had also up and moved from Washington to Korea cuz they currently live there and I'm pretty sure he still lives with them or he lives in the same building as them again I do believe that he suffers a little bit from that Peter Pan syndrome never going to get old type BS.

But again let's just kind of stick to more factual type shit. Then he started making moves like I said he started getting popular more so internationally than in Korea at the beginning of his career I feel like people always forget this Jay Park was the original BTS that's why I said there's so many parallels. He was getting International likings and people loving him so he was doing a lot more like touring in the US and in Europe at theaters and all that shit and when he started going more viral internationally that's when Korean fans started liking him a bit more it's one of those weird effects where they're like oh my God how come he never does anything here we want him back in the motherland even though it's like he was born in America so technically he went to the birthlands first.

He starts making a name for himself within the hip hop and R&B communities in Korea especially with the artist that he was signing the underground rappers the young rappers in the scene the R&B singers that people knew of that were Independent artists before joining his label. All that he manages to do this while staying relevant when he starts kind of fading out of relevancy cuz like I said he was hopping during that era of like the late 20s when I was in high school probably like my senior year and then my up to like sophomore year of college super fucking popular right he's popularity started in like 2014 in America it feels like that's when you had multiple people knowing who he was. He had multiple English versions of his Korean songs were actually English version of that. You would hear all I want to do, sex trip, me like yuh ect well these were songs that actually got played at like parties in New York like House parties they also played in certain clubs that you might have gone to right. He was also popping at least in the part of China I was in during that time too with a lot of these English versions of his songs where people fucking love them and would listen to them while partying and drinking and shit. Like he was for the young adults and barely legal teenagers during the late 2010s.

And then he kind of had his fall off because he started doing dumb shit like I said he kind of became a little bit irrelevant because now you had all these other artists coming up and debuting and popping out. There were other people who were making better music than he was in the R&B and Hip Hop scene and also the global audience for krnb and Hip Hop started becoming a thing. So people were like okay Jay Park isn't bad but he is like he's kind of the stereotypical pop boy voice right he's very Justin Timberlake coated. People wanted something a little different so he was falling off and then that's when he started doing all these fucking ciphers with his rap crew and shit his H1GHR collaboration stuff and that's also when the really stupid stuff started happening. Mind you the cold producer and I'm also pretty sure he was one of the owners of the company was Chacha Mahone aka the half black half Filipino man. And again Jay admitted to the fact that with the two videos that really fucked him over and kind of ruined his reputation where people forgot he even existed for several years until he came back out with his whole taxi featuring Natty I believe and then the song he did with Ning ning and McNasty with the only fans outrage promotion. He literally sat there told him Jay don't do this this looks like you're appropriating and making fun of Black culture like don't fucking do it and he sat there and said basically fuck you at least that's what it sounds like happened because he came up with those videos anyway and then I don't think I've actually seen him do a collaboration with cha cha after that I'm also sure that's when his collaboration with Gray stopped happening too for a while. Like I don't know if he works with the two of them now but there was like a good two three years where you stopped hearing that that tagline you weren't here and give me a cha cha beat boy or Grey whispered in your ear with Jay Park song started playing it's like he really fucked up and didn't listen to the people around him and they wanted none of that backlash that they told him he would get in the first place and he didn't listen.

And it reminds me of Bank PD because when BTS first debuted right he talked about how he had some people warning him about some of the things that he had those boys doing. The way he had them dressing some of the permed hairstyles he put them in he did not listen. Right they weren't saying we don't understand your vision they were like we get your vision but this might piss off the demography of people who would actually become a fan of them and he said fuck that shit because he was obsessed with them just becoming big in Korea which didn't happen which is ironic because again it was because of their International success primarily due to the black and brown people that they got popular. Now I'm not sitting here saying the white people had nothing to do with it but I am sitting there saying that the first react channels that I witness reacting to groups like BTS or even artists like Jay Park was normally always the fucking black K-pop fans once they did it and were like oh yeah this is kind of cool I like this I appreciate it while also calling out some of the culture appropriation that was happening. Then all of a sudden all the other ethnicities that also happened to do K-pop reaction channels would start listening to their shit because at the end of the day I feel like people do forget that not all but a lot of people are still low key a little political and little racist when it comes to the music they listen to. You will find people who would tell you they'll never listen to Hip Hop or R&B because it's ratchet it has no structure it's the same shit over and over again there's no Nuance to it blah blah blah blah and it's like you've never actually listened to it. Okay so you don't like songs about people talking about shaking ass and fucking things up you want some profound storytelling okay Kendrick Lamar fucking exist listen to some older hip hop event like biggie and Tupac were out here literally wrapping about shit that they lived through and their actual like life experience that wasn't them just flexing and being all at all you clearly have never actually tried listening to Hip Hop there's also a lot more rappers and stuff that talk about real shit if you're into that I'm not the biggest hip hop fan but even I'm fucking aware of it that's why I would never sit there and be like oh I could never listen to I occasionally listen to the shit.

Not to mention I always think that's wild because then you'll have the same people saying some shit like that but then they listen to like Taylor Swift no offense to people who listen to Taylor Swift but she has been coming out with the exact same teenage white girl I'm so bad at relationships stories over and over again with a different coat of paint since her debut. I was a fan of hers as a teenager and then I started getting older and realizing that she never stopped singing about the same shit while also never sitting there and actually talking about the fact that the common denominator is herself. Like good so are you telling you can only take you so far. Especially if you're just telling the same story over and over again.

Back to Bang. He too had an ego problem just like Jay and the funny thing is both of them were willing to sit there and let their egos run the show and be bigger than the actual like you know artists that they were in charge of or the companies they were running because you were some of the dumbest decisions you can make as a company owner.

But they did not care. Matter of fact they basically double down and then disappeared for a little bit before popping the fuck back up. Both of them like to latch on as soon as they start becoming irrelevant to whatever their biggest artists are. I do not give a fuck how you feel about Jay Park you cannot tell me that this 39 year old man and his really weird ass super close semi-parasocial relationship with Lngshot is it fucking weird like take out the idea of him being Jay park.

And look at it as him legitimately just being the boss and CEO of this company and consistently hanging around his artist that are I think currently 16 to 20 years old. I'm sorry I would find that really fucking off-putting why is this man who's like two decades older than these people and is technically old enough to have had two of them as His technically he's old enough for all four of them have been his children. Consistently hanging out with them like he's supposed to be there and he's not their boss. I don't understand how some of their fans don't think that's weird first off the way that Jay Park fans fucking rag on that group and act like they wouldn't be successful if it wasn't for Jay which is fucking wild because no I feel like if anything they probably would have had more of Ateez or even early BTS underdog Story if they weren't under Jay Park's label because 100% they would have garnished the attention of international fans point blank period they have the vibes the sound and the look that it doesn't matter what company they were assigned to people would have paid attention to them. It might not have been as quickly shot up in terms of like actually no I don't even think that's the case cuz I feel like you still would have had fucking celebrities in America like the cast of K-pop demon hunters and a few others that would have 100% have somehow heard of about them because you have to understand they basically did zero promotions for Moon walking and yet that shit was still trending because that's how good that song sounds like I don't think people understand if a song sounds good it's going to try and regardless of who the fuck the company is that they're signed to. Like that's just kind of how trending sounds work it just has to have the right kind of Melody the right kind of vibe and lyrics for people to be able to make edits for and that song 100% had all those things going for it it would have went viral regardless people would have known who the fuck they were they just might not have had the push in terms of Jay walkers sitting there and trying to help them out mind you Jay Park fans are basically the OG army.

So many of them have admitted to the fact that the only reason why they've hyped up this boy group is because they are Jay's first K-pop boy group some of them don't even like them they don't think they're talented. They've been caught multiple times talking shit about their skills and even appearances and a lot of them have been complaining since Jay and now it's his whole me and my son's tour basically where they're fucking pissed off that he's doing the tour with them and they're like yeah they get that he wants to help them but this is taking it too far and how his fans don't want their fans at the concert are taking concert tickets away from them and all this so it's like a hot mess of a shit show.

But that's no different than Bank PD sitting there and calling himself the king of k-pop, having BTS be considered his sons even having the members on multiple occasion call him like their second dad or Papa. And that's not even getting into the fact that he has this weird relationship with multiple of his groups leseraphim there's at least two members of that group who talk about the fact that he's like a dad and that they call him dad sometimes cuz that's what he is, illit members talk about how they call him dad and he's their father figure and he takes care of them like they're his daughters and they have had dinner with him because he likes to like get dinner with him sometimes or how they have his phone number and on two occasions we've had them actually sit there and send him a text message or call him members from his girl groups and then him get back to them like oh what do you need and it's like that shit's creepy.

And I call it creepy because it's like people call jyp creepy because of how close he was with fucking Got7 & 2pm . Which is wild because him being close with his two male groups which remind you he wasn't even super close he had more of like a mentor relationship with both of those groups then he I'm your father figure. He was like I'm a producer and songwriter and y'all have producers and lyricists in your groups you need help with something let me know I can help you with that if you're not feeling okay let me know and I can figure out what the hell we going to do with the company to give you time off. And he made sure not to be too close with his female idols because he didn't want to make them feel uncomfortable and he literally used to talk about that interviews because like twice would complain at first and I think it was jokingly about how close jyp was to like the boy groups and like he sat there and said he doesn't want to be creep or weird or anything like that and they were like oh no we get it we get it and like everyone at jyp talked about how he's more like a older brother or Uncle figure he's never trying to be your parent. He's just like that older dude that you could go to in the neighborhood for advice.

MHJ was dragged through the mud and red to filth by Kpop fans because apparently her considering new jeans like her daughters and treating them like that was really fucking creepy but then you have evil piggy bank doing in the same shit with multiple girl groups and boy groups and that's perfectly fine? Like make it make sense and I think the only reason why is because way too many people affiliate him with his biggest group which is BTS and they affiliate him with this idea of him being this like racist stereotype basically they kind of see him as the fat chubby jolly Asian man who's just super nice and caring right I'm talking like the dude from fucking Mulan that's how people basically see Bang pd.

And it's wild because he's shown the fact that that's not who he is or what he's like. But apparently allegedly to most of the human population outside of myself and some people he's charismatic enough to get away with it just like Jay Park is attractive enough that he benefits from pretty privilege but no one wants to act like they know that fact. He's considered a fairly attractive Asian man especially for one who's in his late 30s early 20s who still works out and stays relatively good looking and relatively fit looking enough that he could still go fairly shirtless half the damn time. And he's single as far as people know so that also fuels their delusion and they're just like he could never do any wrong.

And I think it's funny because I feel like the one thing that no one mentions when they talk about this combined concert tour thing. Is how Wild Jay Park concerts can get like we're talking about a man who would sometimes be on stage occasionally drinking have a cup in his hand have a bottle on the stage has panties and bras being thrown at him and now he's going to be going on tour for the first time in a while internationally probably still going to be playing them panty droppers ass shaking songs they're going to have some of those older women who are his fans still out here trying to throw their bras and panties some of them that they were wearing and take off at the concert at him and now you're also going to have 16 to 20 year olds on his stage and you know damn well that outside of performing a few songs by himself they're definitely going to be performing songs from their joint mixtape and I can only imagine how that might play out like this there's way too many variables of how this could go exponentially wrong.

And the funny thing is both of them do the same thing when they're met with people calling them out on their bullshit just in different ways. Jay Park has his own personal crash out on the internet and then gets his crazy fan base to sit there and spread all of this bullshit and misinformation that he spreading or basically him down playing people's concerns about shit as if it's them just hating because they can't be as cool or as rich as him because man's also very classes he's just really fucking gross and weird.

While BPD and his company uses dispatch. They will literally just sit there and give information to tabloids like dispatch and pay them to run stories that make them look good or make their enemies look bad. And they've been doing that shit for years I never understood how people never picked up on that around the time when they're already whispers about the company and you know illegal shit happening when they were trying to get their hands on SME and all that shit and then all of a sudden YG and SM find two of their artists and their relationship all of a sudden made public. All of a sudden there's whispers about Paola coming from that company and out of nowhere there's random articles and hate trains for Aespa? People complaining and talking about how overworked certain groups are in that company and all of a sudden they're releasing teasers and YouTube videos and documentaries of that artist bawling their eyes out and complaining about having low self-esteem and southwest, all of a sudden there are stalker photos of their boy group who they are claiming is completely overworked and all the sudden instead of people talk about that they're talking about how how the fuck did these people manage to get on top of buildings or these private areas to take pictures of this boy group and instead they're complaining about that.

Company gets called out for horrible way that they run company mind you before the new Gene situation happened there are already been several alleged ex employees who talked about the fact that working at HYBE was like working in The hunger Games because there were clicks and people were constantly out there like talking shit about each other and some of the staff members were horrible to the artist and they didn't give a fuck because the artists weren't really seen as real people and they were so many things that were talked about with that company. Then the new jeans situation happened mind you they never said the name of the girl group or the member who was told to ignore Hanni.

It could have literally been LSPM it didn't have to be illit. But all of a sudden those ex employees were talking more about how shitty the company was on top of everything else that was happening and MHJ coming out with her emergency press conference which again she never dropped names she never said the name of the girl group or the member first at all she only said something about who they were because sure enough Beshit+evil piggy bank sat there and had articles and shit released where they were talking about how they never told their girl group illit to ignore them and that Moka wasn't being rude mind you no one knew who the specific member was or who the group was and then all of a sudden their company name dropped both of them in one breath through the whole fucking group under the bus.

Just so people would stop talking about how shitty the company was because they had ex employees talking about how bad it was this is also around the time when people found out that they had two employees who had passed out from being overworked and one employee who literally died in the building and no one noticed for several hours. Like it genuinely was just a shitshow during that time and because they wanted to take responsibility for nothing they decide to throw their young newly debut group under the bus mind you new jeans was only a not even 2 year old group at the time they were coming up on two years I think they had like just fucking celebrated it or were just about to celebrate 2 years of having debuted when they got hit with all this bullshit and none of it needed to happen.

But this makes sense because you have men whose egos are more important than logic or what the fuck they're actually doing so they are more willing to do dumb shit and ruin their own bag and expose themselves for committing actual crimes instead of just admitting okay you know what this person did something I couldn't do good for them I'm going to keep it moving.

And I feel like what gets me about both Jay and BHS is that way too many people are ignoring the facts that they are ruining their artists. Like if they get into more controversy while being tied so heavily with their artist. They're kind of fucking over their artists. Because now when people search up both of their names is going to come back tied to specific groups specific artists the next time they sit there and show their asses and do some dumb ass shit. Is also now going to affect these artists. And the worst part especially with BHS is that eventually when he goes down or his company because the way this is going to end is one of two ways either the entire multi-level company thing is going to be fucking dissolved like there will be no HYBE it will go back to him just owning big hit and be shit entertainment and all the rest of them will go back to being independent companies like they were before he acquired them. Or even those two companies along with the giant conglomerate completely get wiped the fuck out.

And then what that does is it screws over those groups that he's so heavily tried to tie himself with because now they don't have the giant yellow company and their PR team to save them. Now their reputations are ruined cuz they're tied to this evil man their fans cap intertwining them with this evil man and also burning any bridges that they had with other fandoms so they're not going to fuck with them or defend them even if worse shit happens to them in the future. And depending on how badly this downfall is I don't think people understand how much reputation matters in Asia let alone in the entertainment industry brands will stop wanting to work with those groups if they get so heavily intertwined with evil piggy bank and he actually ends up going down and facing actual consequences no one is going to want to affiliate with any groups that are tied to him because as soon as they get tied to these other companies people are going to sit there and be like why are you supporting this group that was perfectly content with stealing money from the Korean people? Like that's how the Korean people might end up reacting to this and the international fans are going to probably react to this like why the hell would you want to work with a group that decided to stay with an evil man and their fans kept defending him like they're aligned they're spiritually one in the same.

That's why I always say defend the group never defend the company never tie a group to their CEO or their company because eventually if that company or CEO goes down or news comes out about them doing a bunch of horrendous shit is going to backfire on the group. And if it gets bad enough it's going to ruin any shot or chance that they have of being able to survive after the dust is settled.

Also I was planning on doing two readings that I had gotten asked you but it was really windy and we had a lot of thunder and lightning storms here where I'm at in nyc. And the glass on my terrace broke. As you can see one panel had to be completely removed and the other one is cracked and I am still waiting it has been about almost a week now for my building to get in contact with the people that maintain our terraces so they can replace the glass.

So I have been unable to use my balcony/terrace and I've had to move some things that I had outside inside so that they don't fly off or fall off of my balcony / terrace. Well also having a very stupid fear and anxiety induced sleeps about something happening and either the rest of the glass breaking or shit falling off of my terrace.

It's also been very annoying because I normally go on my terrace at night for an hour or two either sitting down cuz I have a bench out there or walking just to have some night air and to help me be able to sleep better and I have been able to do that for a week so I've been having a really shitty sleep because of that on top of the whole anxiety thing.

I....

I don't think this is an unpopular opinion I think this is kind of just facts way too many K-pop fandoms are lacking common sense. Now the reason why I said this is because of our boy Evan/Heesung here and his debut as a solo artist. He's done like two or three performances now where the ceo/president of be shit has been seen showing up to watch and I'm just like are we learning nothing from evil Porky the pig?

This is clearly a PR stunt to make the company look better because they are still crashing out over the amount of fans who are genuinely boycotting and not buying or interacting with the group or any of the solo work because the way they went about this shit was abysmal.

I've seen Middle School girls have better fallouts in their friend groups than whatever the fuck this bullshit was that this company pulled and then kept everyone in the dark and confused for several months and now all of a sudden instead of it being in many album which would make way more sense or his mixtape it's two singles and then in a couple of weeks it will be the first album without him that the group's coming out with and no one sees this as the company testing the waters to see how much money they can make and whether or not kicking him out actually affected the group.

And maybe it's just because like I'm a grown ass adult and I've worked in the business side of corporate America and pretty darn close to the entertainment side since I do work in fashion but like this is something that companies do sometimes. Ah it feels like this has become very popular if we separate this right let's say it's a group if you're not talking about a group let's say the collection right oh this 27 fall winter collection has done really well everyone loved the way this looked when we tested it or did it on a runway. How can we make the most money from this we got a lot of buyers from our higher clientele what if we make a version of this for the everyday person. But wait we shouldn't just release it all in one store or two store chains how about we split it so all of the Fall stuff will sell at places like Macy's Burlington coat Factory places like that but all of the winter stuff will sell as a collaboration with brands like Chanel or prada. That way we can get the most money from one collection we're not adding shit to it is going to be exactly 25 pieces that we are going to split in half and see if we can double our profit or make significantly more profit than if we just sold it at one place.

It's also like midnight currently so I'm not sure if that made sense but that's like the way I'm feeling like the company thought about this. If we took the center and the main singer of the group because that is what he is. If we took one of the staple members that everyone knows who the fuck this man is he has gone viral multiple times in the past 2 years alone. And we make him a solo artist while simultaneously still overworking the shit out of his group could we possibly make more profit.

Mind you this is a company that just already lost two different lawsuits against youtubers. They have lost two different lawsuits against mhj and one I believe was against new jeans like as individuals because they were suing the girls and technically Ador is there company but the company wasn't involved in this lawsuit if I remember correctly for saying that they purposely sat there and try to ruin the reputation of their girl group which mind you they lost that lawsuit too. And they still actively have at least two more lawsuits in the work so they lost about four lawsuits that they have to legally pay for not only their own lawyers but the lawyers of the plaintiffs aka the YouTubers they sued mhk and new jeans and all Court fees. They are bleeding cash they don't have the money to support this.

The fact that there were rumors like people were talking heavily about a new boy group that they were supposed to debut and then they started suing and then you stopped hearing them talking about debuting another group says a lot because it sounds like they don't have the cash to do that. They don't have the funds to debut another group and if they do they're going into huge debt with the yellow company because again people are forgetting that we learned throughout all of this bullshit happening.

That HYBE makes all of their sub-dairy companies pay them a fee that comes up to a few thousand dollars in American USD a month. Okay they have these motherfuckers out here paying them monthly every 30ish days somewhere around the ballpark if I remember correctly of 10,000 to $25,000. A month right that that's like the equivalent of living in a fairly nice ass neighborhood in NYC but still having like a shoe box apartment right that's a lot of money for a company that only has two groups and they're still paying money for the groups that they have to have to pay every month.

Simplest way to think about this for some people is imagine your rent right is like $25,000 a month but you're not guaranteed a specific amount of money from your job right you're like a freelancer so your money fluctuates. The type of freelancing you do you have to pay for all of your material. So it can be anywhere between a million dollars for you to sit there and roll out a project you know hiring producers Lyricist studio time sound engineers all the people that work behind the scenes for like a fucking album right that that's your job you're a singer let's say independent singer. You have to pay all those people on top of this $25,000 a month and then you also have to pay all of the people that you have to hire again for choreography stood against studio time for the dance studio and then music video shoots photo shoots for teasers and any other like extras that you're going to be doing for the album and everything also you have to pay for the album to be made. Basically if you ever played the game monthly Idol or weekly Idol I believe they were called where it's like you run your own entertainment company with a little 8-bit characters. That is how actual entertainment companies are ran in like the most basic ways possible. But add on to paying your artist and paying all of these people who work for you you have to now add on the $25,000 fee every month.

Mind you you're already slightly in debt to your parent company because of the money that they invested into you to debut these groups in the first place and En- didn't have no cheap ass debut neither did Illit like I said they're the reason I stopped using spotify because I was getting advertised and pushed magnetic even when I wasn't listening to Kpop you have to pay Spotify a significant amount of money for them to push the song of your artist consistently between magnetic and Cupid I don't even want to think about how much money either one of those companies paid so that those songs were constantly being played like no I'm in the middle of listening to a fucking chase Atlantic playlist I don't know why the hell you have some K-pop girly pop music playing in between the songs that I did not add and now I have to sit here and either wait to press skip ad or if I'm in the middle of doing something the whole fucking song is going to play.

Then even when you add in how often they have these boys touring that's still a lot of money. The tour money that you make has to be enough to cover the expenses of going on tour aka the amount of money it would cost to rent out all of these like theaters and stadiums the amount of money it cost to have your artist and all of your people right cuz they be traveling with makeup artist managers assistance wardrobe wardrobe people sometimes even backup dancers and if you're not traveling with backum dancers then you're paying back up dancers from different countries to perform for multiple stop in their country that's a lot of fucking money and it feels like this company probably only just slightly does more than break even with every single one of these tours even when you have ridiculous ticket prices because 9 or 10 times the tickets is what's paying for the venue in the first place and then you also have to bank on hopefully selling out MD that you have. Praying that people are buying enough merch so that you didn't overspend because again you have to pay for all of the merch that you also had made specifically for the tour to sell during the tour days. They don't normally resell merch from tours even if they don't sell the bitch out that's not going on the website for people to buy tour merch that's just now merchandise that's sitting in a warehouse somewhere never to be seen again until like years later possibly if someone buys the fucking warehouse and decides to sell everything in it.

The amount of money that they would have to owe I'm not surprised that their first idea was what are we just took this member who has been garnishing popularity over and over again and has probably been a little bit of a problem child in terms of being the oldest member and probably talking out speaking out a lot for the group outside of like the leader who's like the second youngest so it makes sense that he would get help from his brother in. What if we just separate him from the group use this as an example.

Y'all question us too much y'all want to do solo work so much well then we're going to separate you you're going to have to do stuff on your own by yourself. And also we can see past the waters how good the money will be if we have two streams of income. Cuz again I do not dislike illit I genuinely think that those young women are talented but the company is purposely not pushing them as a group because if they start doing well then every argument that these motherfuckers have for all of their lawsuits go straight out the window. They need this girl group to struggle they need them to barely break even with how much money the company is spending versus what they're making back from them for the sheer fact that that's the only way they can kind of sort of falsify evidence that c x y and z issue that wasn't actually a thing is the reason why this group isn't doing well.

Mind you this is actually something one of the judges for the main case against new jeans versus Source actually stated they sat there and told them you're not advertising your girl group or spending enough money on them and they actually pointed out the fact that they spend copious amount on their boy group and not their girl group from the same company and how if they have the budget for their boy group they should have it for their girl group too so they don't believe them when they sit there and say it's because of what mhj said and the girly pops of new jeans that affected their popularity and their money making and like 110% they were correct but at the same time this company believes that as long as they can somewhat use that possibly to their advantage they would rather sabotage their own group then actually do right by them cuz again it has nothing to actually do with the artist or integrity or any of that shit. It has everything to do with ego and just winning and making examples out of their groups so that none of their groups are willing to leave the company.

And that's the second thing that I feel like some people are overlooking this is basically their last like year and a half two years with this company. After 2027 they could technically just leave and you know what the company doesn't want that to happen. So what is the easiest way to prevent that from possibly happening divide and conquer. I also feel like psychologically they could use this against their artist.

Again I can't speak for everyone but I have 100% definitely worked in a few places where they would use things like if you're not signed to our modeling agency no one's going to care about you your new modeling agency will not invest money in you like we do and basically try to gaslight models and talent into believing that even though we treat you shittily we're your best bet.

You can't convince me the Kpop companies don't do the same thing the company will figure out that they're screwing this up but instead of admitting it they'll try a spin it be like hey look if you leave us your fans stay with us. And again brings me back to what I was started this whole rant about having the president having the CEO having any higher up showing up to multiple performances by an artist and having a picture or video like why the hell is it one video from like three different angles perfectly taken of this man as Evan sitting there and smiling at the president and like high-fiving shaking holding hands and for whatever fucking reason I've seen that more than I've seen actual fan cams of him performing at this like festival event that he performed at and that's weird that's also a red flag. I would assume that the fan camps would be way more popular and people will be way more interested in actually seeing this man performing then this random ass video of him like interacting with a higher up from the company with a smile on his face. And then the fact that there's been at least four or five different K-pop accounts that I've seen personally on YouTube that my friends have pointed out that they've seen on tiktok and Instagram sharing this as like news or gotcha moments to the rest of the fandom like see he has a great relationship with the company because this is just what he wanted he desired leaving the group and blah blah and it's like again if this was planned I feel like it would have been done way better than it was. Something did not go correctly there.

From a business point of view it made zero sense if I knew an artist was going to be leaving a group. I would not have them leave and announce this in the middle of promotions for their comeback rollout. No he would have finished the entire comeback circuit and roll out and then when they're on their short little fucking break hiatus before announcing that they're going to have another album that's when we would have hit you with the news after much deliberation the last comeback was the last comeback we would have with insert name of artists they will now be debuting as blah we hope that you will continue to support them on their journey now as a solo artist.

Also we wouldn't have to pull every single YouTube video content that we had already previously recorded with this person in it and be like oh yeah we're not releasing all like I don't even know how many episodes it was of their o'clock series that it was but they basically was just like this is an entire era that's going missing you will not see it. It no longer exists and it's like see you don't do that if this is something that was already planned. Those videos would have already went out or you would have never recorded it with him in the first place and it would have came out after announcing it also you wouldn't be selling MD where he's included in it for the comeback and for other things. The collaborations that's completely different story because like those were already in the works but again you would have been aware of the fact that this would have been the last collaboration he would be doing alongside his group and you would have been creating so much clout so that those products with cell even more because now it would be seen as like limited edition shit.

Like there's no logical way that you would have gone about it the way that be shit did because it doesn't even make you more money and it doesn't make the company look good.

But anyway I kind of just wanted to rant a little bit about that because I think it's really weird and I really really want people to stop falling for this propaganda that these companies be creating. Like no just because a higher up showed up does it mean Jack diddly shit. Like hello evil Porky the pig has shown up to multiple of performances and concerts for his groups while currently being landlocked in South Korea and having multiple cases now open about him legally. That doesn't mean Jack shit. Not to mention it's not like his artist or people are going to show hostility towards him like have you seen the videos of him where he's like going to the concert and then he purposely will go where other artists from his company are to like say hi to them or whatever and I think outside of like SVT where they blatantly looked like they were so done after again they had that smile on their face their customer service look while they're interacting with him and then he like left and they kind of looked at each other like Jesus fucking Christ why the hell did he talk to us and then went back to like enjoying the fucking I believe it was a BTS performance. Like they're not going to blatantly show that they're upset or they're mad in public because they can't really do that they're not going to try and make their life at that company a living hell because he'd be pissed off that they made him look bad like you're not going to irritate your boss.

A great example is Zendaya when euphoria season whatever the fuck this is had their premiere. The guy in charge I forgot his name the idol / euphoria writer showman that problematic White man. He literally tried to get Zendaya to take a picture with him twice right it's caught on camera and she like kind of looked at him and she looked straight at her publicist and they shared a look she didn't make it super big or obvious it was just like she looked at him and then she like widen her eyes slightly at her publicist and her publicist understood grabs her hand and just dragged her away like they didn't hear him calling her and you can see it like his mouth is moving he's clearly calling her name and trying to get her to take a picture.

And she was like I want nothing to do with this man and I also don't want to take any pictures with any of my co-stars because allegedly she was having issues with some of them like Miss White supremacists and scooters current girlfriend. So she was just like nope we're going to avoid this but she also did it in a very subtle very classy way and my thing is I feel like idols be doing the same shit half the damn time they can't blatantly just be like yeah and fuck my CEO he's a creep he's a weirdo I don't fuck with that man. Because then they can make their life a living hell and evil piggy bank clearly has some sort of ties to certain people and things so like I don't doubt for a second that he couldn't pull a Lee SoMin and start fucking blacklisting motherfuckers left right and Center if you wanted to after they left his company.

BND with a recent comeback with a song viral and I've seen quite a few people reacting to it and a lot of them have stated that it kind of gives them the vibe of old school K-pop or quite a few of them have called it the Golden Age of K-pop and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

American music had a golden age of music it was primarily in the '90s it's one of the reasons why if you ask someone about American music and artists and shit that they like a lot of the time they're naming some of the biggest Hot shots from the '90s and early 2000s that was the golden age in my opinion in a lot of people's of American music especially if you're talking across genres it was the golden age for the rap genre The Hip Hop genre the R&B the pop the pop punk era even the rock era to some extent because all of these were genres that people in the general public would listen to and they all had really good fucking songs. Like there were so many hits happening back to back there were actual like fights on whose song was going to be number one and for how long in the charts back in the day because everyone was coming out with good music then.

For K-pop that happened to be second gen and 3rd gen and I think we know that. Because we've never had groups bigger than some of the second gen groups that debuted we never had groups bigger than the third gen groups that debuted we're currently on like the fifth generation of Kpop and yet at the top is still the top two third gen boy and girl groups at the top is still the top two boy and girl group of second gen. The same four groups that have been sitting at the top for three generations now.

Like yes there are new groups they're coming out with good music they're breaking records and all that good stuff but none of them have still been able yet to outperform those that came before them and it's because I think that was the Golden Age of K-pop could there be another golden age of course there could be technically we could have another golden age of American music too it's not like we're never going to get around to the point where we're going to have a shit ton of like amazing legendary acts performing again and existing again it's just going to take a couple of decades it's going to be a long time before we circle back around when we're able to have like fucking Michael Jackson's Mariah Carey's Whitney Houston's Prince Etc type of talents exist again all at the same time simultaneously.

I also think people don't understand why second and third gen were considered the Golden Age of k-pop. And one of the biggest reasons was creativity most of these groups and companies were trying to just outperform each other because they were only focused on streaming and being number one in the charts and being like the best group to ever exist globally and domestically there was just more variety. We could have Crayon pop coming out with songs like FM and bar bar bar we could have an after school coming out with first Love and doing choreography on fucking poles on stage we can have a Hello Venus coming out with a song called wiggle wiggle and sitting there and shaking their asses while also simultaneously having a group like a pink coming out with cuter songs like Mr chu or no-no-no we could have boy groups like B.A.P VIXX BOYFRIEND all coming out with completely different sounds one group coming out with music videos that look like they should be a drama or a movie and still having that like hip hop vibe to it one group coming out with like concept Kings every fucking comeback is a different concept and it's amazing or having like the cutest fucking debut you could fucking imagine singing about wanting to be your boyfriend and then also turning around and having music videos where they're literal characters and fairy tales.

We had a mixture of groups that were supposed to be for teens and were fairly young like a teen top but then we also had adult Idol groups like a 2pm coming out with the grown and sexy music we even had rain at that point in time still coming out with music. You could have the cute concept the weird concept we were allowed to have an orange caramel coming out with like Shanghai lovers and copycat and a bunch of other songs that were just very camp and catchy.

We also were allowed to have songs by groups that were geared clearly towards more adult audiences or had that throwback Vibe like Spica or Exid.

That's what I feel like has always been the issue going forward is we went from having two generations that kind of collided in the best way possible and we were able to have all these different genres and vibes within Kpop to now we have like 85% of groups are coming out with like hip hop adjacent music and 85% of grow groups are either doing some kind of Hip Hop girl crush adjacent music or they're doing the MHJ old school SM girl hood concept. But we're not getting a whole lot of variety and it sucks because we had groups that could have given us that because yes I truly do Illit my opinion would have done way better if their company would have went with them having that orange caramel Vibe those five girls could have 100% pulled off the corky campy slightly off putting vibe that orange caramel did and they could have done it in a way that would have been 100% theirs like they're people no offense to their fans I don't think the girls give off back room or creepy core vibes but they could have they've had maybe one or two songs that had that Vibe and could you imagine if they would have went full campy Orange Caramel creepy core like that would have totally been something we hadn't seen there would have been no similarity comparisons and they probably would have done way better than they already are because no one's filling and that niche in the K-pop hemisphere.

And personally that's the biggest problem. K-pop companies are letting certain niches that exist in Kpop die when they shouldn't because that's what the fans want. The fans miss having the adult idols who came out with the sexy songs like we don't have enough adult groups who are coming out with songs like backseat or my house who are out here either yearning like their life depend on it like rain and fucking love song. Or trying to seduce you and sing songs that are basically about wanting to fuck in the backseat of the car. That doesn't exist cuz it can't most of the older idols that didn't become stupidly successful during third gen have basically been disbanded and have had a hard time trying to read you or they just gone on to living normal lives.

And they refuse to debut actual adults like there are way too many groups where the youngest member is like 14 15 now and it's like you would have to wait years before being able to come out with music like this and you might not even be able to. Cuz who knows if you'll even last that long cuz so many companies are starting to get rid of groups after like their third year if they're not making a certain amount of money or breaking records and it's ridiculous.

Instead it feels like kpop's going backwards. I don't think it's surprising that there are so many people who are like I used to like Kpop but it feels like it's going back to how it was in first gen and the beginning of second Jen and it's like yeah true. The first generation was basically completely cookie cutter they truly were out here with set personalities the company was basically controlling how the general public viewed them if they wanted them to lie about shit like their age or stuff that they liked they did it. Like it was so disconnected from reality they truly were just products being created by a company and sold to the masses and it's what a lot of people thought of when they thought of K-pop and they didn't like it. The beginning of second gen was the same until it started to switch it started to change because you had companies who were deciding hey we're going to allow for our artists to be a little bit more chaotic to be a little bit more realistic to show off parts of their personality.

Then we had 3rd gen where there was an era of time where it felt like companies just gave up on trying to create identities for their artists it was like you know what y'all are so fucking chaotic and I partially think this is because these were all of the younger millennials and older gen z debuting at the time so it was like there was no way in hell you were going to convince a young millennial or older gen z to pretend to be something they weren't. So it brought that much needed humanity into Kpop idols. We started seeing very chaotic idols idols who would make mistakes who would curse idols who were dating or would talk about flirting or things that they never would talk about before.

You had Kpop groups in idols who were setting boundaries with their fans like yeah we're like internet friends but you're not my lover and I'm not yours. That were letting people know like I am human at the end of the day you cannot control me but also I genuinely do care for the love attention and affection that you do show and you do give to me as my fan.

We had the interactions between groups and artists and it didn't matter if it was a boy group or a girl group you just had interactions between these groups where everyone was friends when the fandoms would sit there and say or do dumb shit you have the artist come out and be like hey yeah no we're not doing that. That's my friend you're not going to hate on my friend because we're friends that's not how this works and then all of a sudden K-pop becomes global and the companies start going backwards again. And that's why I feel like k-pops become stagnant it's not really growing or declining rapidly it's kind of stayed in the same spot occasionally taking a dip downwards or upwards but it's it's not moving.

And that's why even with the so-called global groups that some of these companies are debuting it's like you're still figuring out what you think will make you the most money you're taking the most popular song that you have and then you're basically just remixing it 20 different times for 50 different comebacks instead of exploring shit. We would have groups who would come out with a hip hop heavy song then they're coming out with a super pop song then they're coming out with a fucking ballad and it worked because it still had their core signature sound but it also showed us that they had range that they weren't just a group that was a one-trick pony they could do it all if they want to and they would show it off and they would do that and it sucks that we kind of got into a point where now most groups especially the ones that are the most popular are one trick ponies it's the same sound and the crazy thing is some of them actually started off having diversity in their sounds and then once their companies figured out what was working especially internationally it became this is the only kind of music you're coming out with now because it's what's going to give us the most money.

Like creativity took a hard backseat to money making and I feel like it's weird that not enough people in my opinion talk about how that was the downfall don't get it twisted evil Porky the pig was part of it because evil piggy bank clearly cared about Western validation and money more than he did anything else after a while and it's wild to think about. But it's because of the fact that you started having people who prioritize profit over creativity or having a good balance of yes we want to make money and be high earning company but we also still want to be trendsetters in terms of actually being creative exploring these creativity and not just coming out with the same shit over and over again because we know it will sell or creating a cult like following that would literally take whatever we give them as long as we told them they had to and that they need to make sure that their groups are number one.

Like I genuinely think that that's what the downfall of K-pop really is. That's why I personally believe yeah there was a golden age and we've passed it not because the talent disappeared but talent and versatility and all that took a back seat to just pure profit they stopped caring about things being good. It's kind of like the fashion industry we had a golden age in my opinion from late '70s all the way to like early 2000s when it came to fashion before it went downhill because then it became what can we create and make that the masses would buy and then it became fast fashion what are like the quickest trends in aesthetics we can come out with and have people buy a shit ton of that's just unsustainable so they have to keep buying more so we can keep making more money. Instead of it being about creativity coming out with amazing pieces that would last you for generations that could last you for a decade or two before you'd have to get rid of it. Stop being about creating a personal style that suited the people individual instead of aesthetics that people in the perfect boxes. And it's kind of depressing to have to live through both of those things like having to live through the Golden Era of fashion especially since I was literally a child when it ended but it's what made me want to work in the fashion industry in the first place and then watching it turn from that to whatever the fuck is happening now. And then living through the Golden Age of K-pop as a middle school and high schooler and now watching it turn into a competition of the company's trying to measure their dicks to see which one can make the most money the quickest and make the most profit it's kind of wild. I think it is really interesting though to watch it all happen like...

I recently stumbled upon a YouTuber I don't even know who they are like two other videos popped up in my recommended and I normally don't have audio play on but I did because I was in the middle of baking still am so I'm kneeling dough and making bread and homemade soft pretzels so I wanted something playing in the background. And I really started listening to these two videos that popped up because they kind of reiterated something that I think anyone who's learned about the law of assumption and manifesting knows but because it's so simple it makes it so hard.

Your thoughts create your reality. Your 3D is a reflection of your past thoughts you must persist in the new thoughts in order to see the change that you want.

I feel like great examples of this are athletes. It's also some celebrities. Jim Carrey I will always use him as an example because he was broke he had no money he was about to be kicked out of his shitty ass apartment he had nothing and he sat there and persisted in the thought that he was going to get a 10 million dollar check he was going to land a role that would change his life. He truly believed that while he was living in his shitty shoe box apartment was about to get kicked out he was like 3 months overdued in rent and then sure enough because he refused to believe the 3D reality because it was a reflection of his past thoughts.

I know he did like a documentary with someone and I remember it because someone else that I know watched it. But one of the things that they talked about that he said that stuck with me was, "you have to 100% believe, without a shadow of a doubt, that this is coming to you."This is where I personally believe that the whole Delulu is the solulu came from. Not that delusion is the solution but that you once again as I stated before you have to 100% believe to some extent the thing it is you're trying to manifest. In order to do that sometimes it feels like you have to be delusional but say over and over again until it's true.

Another thing that I feel like could help with some people. Is if you're very logic brained. So you have to know the ins and outs of how something's going to work. Then list off 20 ways or say it in your head how you can manifest or get the thing that you want to get.

I feel like a lot of manifestation coaches and people will tell you don't think about the how you're going to get it and I think the reason why is because too many people will be like okay I want to manifest money for example or fame right they'll be like I want a million dollars. Then they'll sit there and start calculating how long it'll take them at their current job to get a promotion to do x y and z in order to get that million dollars and it's like you don't need to do that. Because now you're focusing way too much on what you have to do or what you believe you have to do in the 3D in order to receive the thing that you want.

But if you took that the exact same concept and instead sat there and went okay well I want a million dollars the easiest way for me to get that million dollars by like the end of the year is if I managed to get at least one raise this year and get bumped up two positions in my job. That's easier. Instead of focusing on how to do that you can just sit there and like break it down to okay well I'm going to make a million this year because I'm going to get a raise my job is going to raise my money by 50% and then I'm going to be selected for the new higher management position and then when they do another selection for an even higher position 3 months later I'm going to get that position too. That might be so much easier for you to think about sit there think about that put it in your head and then basically throw it under the umbrella of I'm going to have a million dollars by the end of the year.

A personal example once I wanted extra spending money for the holiday season because I bought things for everyone else and I didn't have enough to buy myself something and I decided I wanted to get an extra $500. I also knew that my step sister has came into some more money recently and my step sister owe me money it wasn't $500 but I was like since she just came into money because of a situation that happened at her job I feel like hurting my mom would reach out to me and be like hey instead of us giving you a present this year we'll give you $500. And sure enough I sat there thought about it was like that's how I moved to get the 500 and then within an hour because I personally sat there and persisted in the thought for a couple of minutes felt it with my whole body until I literally got like full body tingles and I was like yep I'm going to get $500 today. An hour later my mom texts me and was like hey your step sister wants to know if you'll accept $500 as a gift this year except for like actually buying something I said yeah sure and then within the hour cashapped me $500.

I didn't think too long about it but I did pick a how it was going to happen. The same thing happened when I decided I was supposed to go on like a little shopping trip with my mom and two of her friends and I didn't want to do that. Matter of fact my friend who was going to school at the time to become a pediatrician had time off he also had a car and I was like I could instead just have like my mom and her friends decide they wouldn't do something else so instead they just give me the cash that they were going to spend on me for this little birthday spending party and then me and my friend will just like drive somewhere else in the city buy a few things get some good food and I can save the rest of the money. And that's exactly what happened like I knew how it was going to happen I picked the how it would happen believed that's how it would happen and then I didn't overthink it. That's like the power move in my opinion don't overthink it.

And I do think sometimes it's easier said than done but if you choose a thought this is what's going to happen today or this is what's going to happen by this day specifically. And then you decide the how it's going to happen right let's say you want to manifest your Pinterest board right you have like a shit ton of things maybe K-pop albums some fan-made MD, vintage Chanel maybe you have some Vivian Westwood jewelry right you just have a crap ton of stuff and you're like how am I going to manifest this. You can decide you know what I'm going to receive my Pinterest board today and how it's going to arrive is insert friend family member person I know would be willing or has the money to buy this type of shit for me. And there is a possibility of them doing it or they've done it before. That person bought all those things and sent it to my house with my name on it. Believe that put that in your head and then just move on. I've done that before my sister she's not my biological sister or my step sister she's like my mom's best friend's daughter. She's older than me and back when I was in high school when I was like 16 or so I believe back around 2012 when the Xbox 360 Kinect was pretty popular she had one I had used it I really liked it we did like Just dance and stuff it was me and her stepson and her daughter. And she surprised me for my birthday that year so I just turned about 16 with getting me one didn't even tell me just sent it to my house. Just had my name on it I was so confused I opened it I was like holy shit cuz at that point in time it was fairly expensive. And then I always remember that her and one of my other aunts who like to spend money on people right. This one Aunt sat there and ended up buying me a new Kindle for like 5 years straight. Every time a new one came out she bought me one bought me an entire fucking HP printer I have that bitch sitting in my closet because I already have a printer I don't need two of them but one of those like super fancy ones.

But whenever I want to or feel like I want to manifest receiving a certain thing that might be a little expensive or that I don't want to spend money I just want to have it. My how would it happen tends to be through these two people. I'm well aware of the fact that my sister and my aunt they're Love languages is gift-giving. They've shown that over and over again I know that they are financially Rich enough to do this they enjoy doing this. So because that's something I already know I use it to my advantage when manifesting. Because the thing is at the end of the day someone is going to have to buy or gift you that thing. But instead of you stressing about how I can't happen cuz you don't know who's going to do it you can pick the person.

So instead of being like Oh yes I'm going to manifest my Pinterest board next day delivery / shopping spree / whatever the hell you want to name it. Today bye 3:00 p.m. how am I going to receive it will clearly insert sister/on's name has decided to buy me these things and surprise me with it by just sending it to my house.

Then I'll take a little time to persist in that thought feel it as if it's already say and Stone that is going to happened is and Just Go by that period don't think about it do stressed about it Don't be like no Just know that some Time around 3pm I will receive x y and z this package will come. And also being realistic about it like I know where I live in NYC if something says it's going to be delivered by a certain time it's either going to be a half an hour early or an hour late that's just kind of how it works I don't think I've ever gone something exactly at the time you're supposed to receive it it's either early because there's good traffic or it's late because they're shitty traffic. So even if the clock strikes 3:00 and I haven't seen it yet I'm going to freak out I'm just going to be like oh it's running like of course it is. If I think about it if I don't think about it then I just won't let it be.

It really is as basic and as simple as that. And I do think that like the easiest way to do this is to start off simple.

For me personally I feel like starting off simple might literally be creating a Pinterest board and adding like two or three things that you want like a pop-mart blind box, one or two K-pop albums, one or two pieces of clothing something like you feel like yeah this is a possibility of you being able to get it but also it's not something that you just randomly get on a Tuesday from a family member.

If you need to come up with the how you're going to get it do that. How am I going to get this because so and so decides to give me an only birthday present so and so makes up for the fact that they forgot to buy me a present for a Christmas or a holiday or it could be like someone in your family celebrated something like a graduation a job promotion and they decided that they wanted to get everyone they know something a little special. Whatever makes sense to you and your brain the most.

Them persistent it for a while be like yes this is totally something I have tell it to yourself I like to do it in like a little meditative thing so if I'm working or walking or baking. I'll sit there and just kind of daydream a little bit about the fact that this thing is mine that I know I have it I know I'm receiving it this day. Sometimes I'll just say I'm going to receive I'm going to have by the end of today ensure whatever it is my Pinterest board $1,000 ect. And then just go about my day just go on doing whatever the hell I'm going to do. Don't try to think about it that's what I think most people mean when they say you let it go.

Let It Go doesn't necessarily mean never think about it again but more of don't stress over the fact that you want it and you don't have it. Because again what you persist in the thoughts that you consistently have are the ones that are going to manifest. And yeah you're going to have like the opposite sometimes if you're manifesting something big and you're not trying to do it in a short amount of time right if you're being a bit smart right you know that there's no way in how you're manifesting your dream apartment in like 2 days so you give yourself a month by this time next month I'll be living here you might have things in 3D reminding you you don't have that though you didn't believe that before this was your old thought your old thought was that you were broke your old thought is that you needed money your old thoughts is that you couldn't afford to live in that place. You ignore it that's what people mean when they say ignore the 3D because it's your old thoughts manifesting because there is a time delay between what you start believing in and what you see IRL it's like with working out. You don't work out for like a week and then see instant results most people don't see physical results from changing their diet and exercising until like 3 weeks to a month. Before all of a sudden your 3D is like holy shit I can physically see that I've lost 5 lb without having to step on a scale I can physically see that my stomach's gotten flattered but you couldn't do that after working out for one week because there's a time delay between you actually changing that in your life and then seeing that change happen.

That's what I think people mean when they talk about instant manifestation and time delays as in the time delayed normally depending on what it is you're trying to manifest is just the 3D reminding you of what you used to believe what you used to think. If you can persist strong enough and believe it 100% without a doubt then it doesn't matter what you're trying to manifest you'll be able to manifest the fucking Mansion if you want to in the same day that you decided you want the mansion. Because you start believing in yourself and your own powers and that your thoughts are creating a reality and not necessarily what you're seeing.

Like that's one of the things I feel like rich people do I know my family members that are extremely wealthy that's how they think. They don't think oh I have all this money I'm spending all this money how am I going to make more money. They think my money makes me money I'm going to go and have fun I'm going to go to Vegas I'm going to go to the casino my great aunt likes going and driving out to Empire State Casino out and I don't even know where the fuck is located somewhere in New York state but she looks going there like every other weekend so many people lose money going out there she literally will spend who knows how much but she always comes back with more than she spends. 2 weeks ago she won the money that she's now spending on her current vacation her and her husband decided to go take a little vacation this month for the summer for like the next two weeks but two weeks prior she went to the casino and won fucking 3 million dollars on a $2 slot machine.

Because she genuinely believes in her mind that it doesn't matter how much money she's spending when she's at the casino because she's having fun and she's always going to make however much she spent back tens folds. And that's exactly what happened to her all the time. Like she's one of the top diamond platinum whatever the hell you call it they have their own little cards that you have to use and put money on out there and she has like one of the top holders of that like really high in car and it makes sense because of how much money she spends and how she does it how she goes about all that. But again a lot of that does have to do with her thoughts she truly believes that her having fun and spending money is going to make her more money.

My cousin she didn't have like the best relationship with money or with her parents but she believed that when she went off to college that she was going to be able to easily make money. Money wasn't going to be hard for her to come by that she would always have enough for her lifestyle and schooling and sure enough she was able to find a job on campus that also helps with her tuition that still paid her good enough for her to keep up with getting her hair done every week and getting a new set of acrylic nails every week along with her Starbucks addiction.

There was this little Mom and Pop shop a little like coffee breakfast shop near the bus I had to catch every morning to get to my morning classes when I was in college. There's stuff was good but it was also slightly a little expensive for the budget that I had but I believe that every morning I was going to get myself a free hot chocolate and sure enough I ended up befriending this nice High School teacher. Who honestly will only still teaching because she didn't want to be bored at home. And we would have conversations every morning while we waited for our bus we went on two separate buses but she would always end up waiting for me with hot chocolate you buy an extra hot chocolate she bought herself a hot chocolate sometimes people herself a coffee but she always had their delicious ass hot chocolate for me that she would buy every morning. Never asked her to she just noticed me drinking one once when I decided to spend a little extra and then decided to buy it for me every morning for an entire year and a half straight. The only reason why I stopped is because I start taking different classes and I was no longer obsessed with that hot chocolate.

And that's the crazy thing you only really have to believe that that thing can happen and will happen once with like 100% conviction for it to happen and then it becomes so much easier as time goes on the more things you start manifesting.

Like this young dude has issues and it has nothing to do with his physical appearance. I just watch the video by YouTuber I like kind of talking about his Ascension week or whatever the fuck he's called it and genuinely looks like he just fucked up his face even more mind you he was like a teenager when he started doing most of this shit and he looked perfectly fine and I think it's sad as hell because it feels like it's genuinely just a bunch of coping because his family as much as it kind it seems like his parents kind of care about him failed him so miserably.

In terms of just having this man go to therapy as a teenager and probably getting him tested earlier in life like I don't know when the fuck he got tested or if he ever did I'm pretty sure he did though cuz I remember someone else talking about the fact that he has autism and ADHD and that explains a lot on the way that he thinks and how he does shit and it sucks because it feels like if one they either figure this out earlier and then started getting him into therapy it would help. Or two if they already knew this just throw the kid into fucking therapy and then having him like go to meet ups with other people or kids who also happen to have ADHD or autism like it sounds like he was just surrounded by a bunch of normal ass white kids.

Who would 110% bully the shit out of anyone who's slightly different than them. Wasn't properly being taught and learn how not everyone's going to like you so you're not going to be everyone's cup of tea but that's okay. Along with just not being surrounded by at least a handful of people his own age or close him in age that did understand and just like him for him to the point where he turned to the internet got into red pill culture and then became their fucking poster child for it and is now having the same people that was giving him this attention and the things that he like turning on him because no offense they're not lying when they say he looks worse after his work getting done.

Like his nose fit his face he already had a fairly masculine fucking looking face so making his no significantly smaller and giving him that like fucking K-pop Idol East Asian high nose bridge small nostrils just makes him look weird as hell. The ear thing I never understood maybe it's because again it's actually the opposite in China our Beauty standard is to have your ears stick out rather than pinning your ears back that's not considered attractive like if your ears are naturally pinned back some that is like I but like most people try to get their ears to stick out one it just looks kind of cuter and two it makes your face look smaller. But also again it worked in proportion to his head cuz no offense homeboy has a fairly blocky looking face and head.

Like he's one of those people and I find this is a big thing with a lot of white people and white mixed people and this isn't an insult they just have square faces so they have Roblox looking heads which means that having ears that slightly stick out actually make you look better same with having features like a bigger nose or slightly wider mouth Etc because you have so much fucking real estate on your face that the smaller you make things the worst is going to look you're going to look like one of those weird cartoon characters where they have like super teeny tiny features all in the center of their face and then have all this excess face around it.

Get the scariest thing about all this in my opinion is how many people especially young people who actually seen to think that this dude doing all this stuff makes sense and want to also do it like it is scary as hell.

That being said I'm going to rant a little bit here. I have seen way too many posts on like YouTube Twitter occasionally when I check in with my family members that still have a TT account of so-called Lngshot fans losing their shit over other fans of the group who don't sit there and ass lick Jay Park and I'm afraid that if this keeps up one way too many people are going to be turned off from even wanting to join the fandom or give a fuck about the group anymore and two Jay Park is turning into Bang pd 2.0

Walk with me now. I understand that LS has quite a few jaywalkers as fans but apparently there's way more of them than they probably should be within the shorty fandom or how the fuck you're supposed to spell their fandom name. And the reason why is because if you are not basically ass looking Jay Park and you call him out for weird shit he does as a CEO because he does he moves like an artist and not like someone who's in charge of a fucking company that's going to have multiple artists if he's not going to give the same amount of like obsessive behavior with his other groups that he debuts then this is weird and I can guarantee you when he debuts that girl group whatever the fuck their names going to be he's not going to be like this with them because he's not stupid he knows how weird that would look if he was this close with the girl group. But because it's a group of guys and he's a man no one's fucking questioning it but it's just as creepy.

The issue though is when people point out the things he does and how it looks bad from a CEO and business point of view. Way too many so-called LS fans and of course jaywalkers are jumping on them and telling them how dare you say this you just hate Jay you don't understand what he's done for the boys in the community and like my whole thing is this. Lngshot is a group of guys between the ages of 16 to 20. Their fans would primarily be people around their age range of course they're going to have older and younger fans but most of their fans are probably people who didn't even get into Kpop until 3rd generation Jay Park is a fucking second gen Idol who got kicked out of his group disappeared for several years before making a comeback as a solo artist only really had like two songs that would be considered K-pop adjacent and where he actually promoted them on music shows and then basically dug a hole for himself in the hip hop community in Korea so unless you were in the k hip hop or R&b hemisphere you have no clue who the fuck Jay Park is.

He didn't make a entrance back into like the main K-pop hemisphere until like 2022/23 because that's when he decided to do his first collaboration with Ningning and then you had him doing dance challenges with K-pop idols because everyone was making fun of his ass these were new K-pop fans. Who sat there and saw this old man who is very stiff when it comes to doing the type of choreography that new K-pop idols do and we're making fun of how stiff he looked while trying to dance alongside groups like fucking Aespa,Got7,En- ect.

Then he disappeared for a little bit and tried to double down again because again when he first did that those groups still had fans who would have been in their late teens early twenties like myself when Jay Park first was like popping and then he started getting into controversies. And I think it's really interesting when you look at the controversies but we'll talk about that a little later. But then he ended up doing a collaboration with Natty from Kiss of Life when kiss the life was doing super fucking well before they sat there and did that racist ass birthday live stream. And again he was reintroduced to younger people because he has an aging fandom and he doesn't like that idea most of his fans on average would be between late 20s and late 30s like around his own age and slightly younger. I don't think he likes that in his hay day he had college age girls and barely legal adult teenagers going to his concert screaming for him and throwing their bras and panties on the stage that shit isn't happening anymore he's no longer in that heyday. And I think he wants to recreate that again especially because I think part of him first of all he's always been a bit of a narcissist that's nothing new but I also think him seeing groups with older members in it so him sitting there watching groups like a fucking BTS or SVT Etc where they have 30-year-old members probably pisses him the fuck off because it feels like as he started aging people kind of sound fucking with him but in actuality it's because of all the dumb shit he's been doing.

He had that vine post that he made that was very pedophilic in nature but it was also a trend and he did actually apologize for it that is like the last time he actually apologized for shit. He had a song where he literally told people to worship him like a God and worship him like he's Allah that pissed off a lot of the Muslim and Christian people or people affiliated with those religions who listen to him and were pissed off like why are you shitting on a religion he never really apologized for that he probably said that people were taking what he said out of context and that it was just like. Metaphor and it's like it doesn't make a difference you could have used something completely different especially dealing with what the song was about. Then there was the AOMG CREW songs where he did an entire music video where he had some of the members dressed up with fucking full dreads braids they were throwing up fake fucking gang signs they have been danna's on all while claiming that this was supposed to be a more Korean Anthem and it's like you were cosplaying American gang culture and black people. What made it worse was when he crashed out on Twitter and IG and literally admitted that his crew behind the scenes like his people who work for him both Korean and non Koreans told him don't do this video this looks culturally insensitive and he didn't listen and then basically admitted that even cha cha his half Filipino half black producer and friend at the time also might have said something to him about it coming off a big cultural insensitive and appropriation feeling and he still ignored that shit. And said that it's his Artistry and his real fans would understand and get it and people can't keep trying to box him in and tell him what he can and can't do but he genuinely had an ego crash out and I think that's when a lot of fans just kind of stop fucking with him. I know that's when me and my friends who were in our early 20s going into our mid twenties at the time really stop fucking with him because that shit was crazy like you are grown ass man at this point you're good like 10 11 years older than us meaning that at that point you were already well into adulthood you are 30 something year old man and you're crashing out because people were trying to hold you accountable.

And the part that people don't talk about with that whole crash out is it fucked over his artist. There were multiple artists who were featured in that who was a part of it who just listened to what the fuck their CEO and producer told them to do and it stunted their careers not even just with like general K-pop fans who were kind of into them but even in the KHH scene and the KR&B scene.

And then of course he ended up jumping ship with aomg and moving on to what is now more vision. And it feels like that's where people keep not understanding it right that's where the some of these shorties and jaywalkers don't seem to get it if Jay gets into controversy because of how heavily entwined he is with LS the whole group is fucking screwed.

It will not matter if they improve how good they'll do with their music they will be stained by this man. I feel like examples of this that you could look at with bang PD which is what it feels like he's becoming in terms of having a cult like following a fans rather than people genuinely being able to criticize him. Is Illit they're being used by their CEO to make him and the founder of the company look better than they are. But more than that they've had several songs that aren't bad and aren't NJ rip offs.

Jellyous that was actually written by Sophia powers, cherish, and there's like a few more that I can't think of off the top of my head but those were genuinely good songs and it felt like they were actually not going for the njz route. They worked for the group they actually suited their vocal range their vibes they could have went on with those songs and they could have pitted their music and it probably would have worked out better for them but it didn't matter. Because now bang PD and their CEO at be shit had completely fucking ruined their image for a lot of fans and when I say this I mean even some of their hardcore Asian fans have called it quits with them. Because that's how bad the stain that those two grown ass men who decided to use those girls and throw them under the bus has caused and it's like really wild when you think about it because your entire career could be hindered or basically stunted and disappeared because of the dumb shit that the people affiliated with you do. You have to understand if those girls weren't going on till like fucking interviews and shit talking about how close they were to bang PD if they didn't have his number saved in his phone if they didn't talk about having dinners with him once or twice if they didn't talk about being able to text or call him and he'll easily hit them back I don't think they would have been hit as hard as they have been.

And I say this because we've seen this with other companies where the CEO does some fuck ass shit but it doesn't affect the groups that they're not heavily intertwined with. YG for example no one sat there and was affiliating the shit he was doing during his whole trying to bribe his mistress and threaten to get rid of her if she said anything case against two of his artists. They weren't tying that back to ikon even though it was their leader who was going through this legal procedure at that time because YG was never close with that group. You didn't see him consistently like showing up to their concerts he wasn't consistently taking a bunch of videos and pictures with them none of that shit. Now compare that to some of the hate that like BP or BM get and you'll notice that one of the biggest difference is that YG never shut it up about those two girl groups. He consistently shows up in like they're behind the scenes videos when he can he loves taking pictures and videos of them he will never shut the fuck up talking about them. He has so heavily intertwined himself with them that people who don't like him cannot find themselves getting into the groups and again that's not necessarily the best thing ever but it makes sense because of how parasocial K-pop in general is.

Once you have idols affiliated with each other they're going to be affiliated with for the good and the bad. NCT with the issue that happened with their ex member Taeil even though none of the members had anything to do with the atrocities that he committed. None of them even knew that this was happening they genuinely thought man was like injured and got hurt or whatever had no clue that it was because of a offset boyfriend /family member who purposely fucking ran him over because he SA'd there girlfriend / female family member. Yet people were still making ties to that because he'd been part of the group for so long he did have certain friendships and relationships that seemed really close with specific members so they were always being intertwined with each other for like the first fucking two years of everything that was happening even though it's like they had no clue they were no part of this. Like even when you look at what was said and done during like the court case that did happen he basically admitted to the fact that like none of his members or anyone at the company knew because he liked to keep his private life very separate from his Idol life. Basically homeboy was pulling a Sungri well however you spell that criminals name where it's like yeah I'm close to these people for business reasons we are coworkers not friends but I am friends with shady ass motherfuckers and we do very illegal stupid shit.

And the crazy thing is it's already happening with Jay park. I've already seen people who genuinely like moonwalk who started getting into them with their recent mixtape and they're like okay these boys are talented I like them all right and then Jay's out here having another mental coked breakdown on fucking Twitter and IG and it has people sitting there and going I don't think I'm going to get into this group. Like some people are genuinely like that it's giving them deja Vu they don't want to have another bang PD situation where it's a fucking producer and CEO getting really close with the group so they can use the group every time they come under fire. Cuz that's what it's getting and it's crazy because when you look at it he's never done this with any of his other artists right even when he was friends with them. Chungha signed to his label he did an entire little roll out on YouTube where they did an interview he promised her solo concerts solo world tours she's been in the industry for 10 years now she's been signed to his company for several of those years she hasn't had one solo concert yet. Matter of fact I don't even think she came out with the second part of her rare and bare album I own part one of that album and I was waiting for part two to come out and then we never got it. And then watching her do promotions with her ex-produce group and talking about how she missed that and all the things she wants to like achieve and do and talking about her and upcoming album and come back mind you there's no talk about this comeback until after the produce come back happened and I think it's because more vision and him realize that they need to bank on the how popular she still is so they can still make more money. But also her fans started talking about why the hell she hasn't had to come back in a while and yes I get it she went back to school and I think she got like a degree in something. But you also have to understand that doesn't stop her or the company from still coming out with shit .

And I'm not even talking about like albums and stuff. She still had other things that she was doing while she was in college in terms of advertisements and shit like that and like the company wasn't promoting any of it. Not to mention twice has several members that graduated from college while being very active in the group and still going on tours and shit it's not like you can't do that multiple K-pop groups do that Xlov I'm pretty sure one of the members recently talked about the fact that they're taking classes while still being an idol. Like it's not like your education has to stop or like you can't do some in person and some online classes we're talking about fucking college here. If some K-pop idols were able to fucking graduate high school two three years late I don't think it's going to hurt someone to graduate from college a few years later than they probably would have initially.

But you also have to just look at the facts Jay Park doesn't have young fans young fans are the ones that you kind of want to have because they do the most free labor for you like the younger fans are the ones who are making all of the edits they're making all of the post they're the ones who are creating the fucking like fanfictions and shit which is getting other people who might not know who the hell you are interested in you and wanting to know who you are listening to your music and all of this. Older fans aren't doing that shit you will not be catching most people in their fucking thirties and forties doing that shit that's a young people shit. They don't have time to be running full fan accounts like someone in their teens or early college years. On top of that around the time of him debuting this new boy group he also started posting up more consistently and getting more views on his YouTube channel, with his like logs and challenges and all that other shit that he does on there. He's genuinely gained more fans and followings on all of his social platforms because now people are affiliating him with ls and they're like oh this is the guy who created this group that I really like and he also comes out with music himself I'm going to sit here and check him out see what he's about and a lot of them do like his shit it's not like he has bad songs even though I stop listening to him after like the 2010s so make nasty the one he did with the K-pop girls songs and I don't think I'm going to personally. I like where I left off with him music wise I think I'm going to fucking stay there.

But newer people discovering him are going to sit there and listen to all of his shit and see what it's about what it is. You're seeing edits being made with him more now than you have previously because again he didn't really have the type of fan base and fandom where they were willing to sit there and put in all the time and effort to make really cool fucking edits for a bunch of people to watch and look at. Like he's genuinely gaining more from this than his new group is and that's not even talking about the tour.

Lngshot is it really getting exposure from going on this tour with him. First of all you have jaywalkers or Jay Park fans already shitting on the boys they're complaining about them being there some of them are upset about the fact that this means their fans are going to be buying out tickets when they want to sit there and see Jay and they've waited so long because this man hasn't had a world tour in like forever and he hasn't really toured in forever. And the thing is I think he knows that too. He's going to be exposing himself to younger fans more than to his own fandom because he knows damn well Lngshot has a big enough fandom and fan base already for only being like a 6-month-old group that their fans will be trying to get tickets to see the boys meaning that they'll also be seeing Jay which will then make Jay look good cuz technically it is his tour he's the headliner they're just featured on the tour. Outside of maybe giving them experience on what it's like to do concerts and tours this isn't helping them out not to mention this is going to be cutting into the peak of comeback season for new artist and when they're going to start being able to actually garnish nominations for end of the year awards. There's a high possibility that they're not going to have a comeback within the time that they need to actually be able to apply for certain awards at the end of the year. He's basically depriving them of the possibility of having those like award sweeps for being a new artist that people are genuinely into and they're interested in for them performing at award shows for being exposed to a completely new crowd of fans and people who could get into them who might not be on the same side of the internet that they're currently on.

Not to mention if you wanted to give them this experience he literally could just have them come on for like maybe one or two shows. He could have just had them be part of like two or three shows in the states and then two or three shows in Asia they didn't have to go on the entire tour with him.

Then there's the whole fact that he seems to be with them at every fucking interview and show that they go on. And I hate this because people will sit there and say well Jay's using his connections so he has to be there with him wrong Jaejoon uses his connection for his girl group from his company and you don't see him going with them onto their interviews and shows. You never saw Jay doing this with Chungha when she was doing interviews and shows with her first like two comebacks with this company. And mind you this wasn't all on her own some of these shows and stuff she went on was because of Jay she even thanked him for reaching out to the show or the people hosting was like yeah Jay reached out to us to have you on but you didn't see him with her during her interviews you didn't see him popping in on the freaking camera to sit down next to her and talk about like how cool and great she is and what an amazing friendship they have.

And again that's not getting into the creepiness of the shit that he's done. Because I don't care how hot you think he is first off I think it's weird that if you look at most of his fans defending him a lot of them literally call him a baby. They're like oh of course they're mad at our baby he could never do this he's just being so kind people are taking his kindness and twisting it that is a grown ass man Karen he's going to be 40 this year. Please stop babying the 40-year-old man he's almost 50 he's close to being the same age as some of the other K-pop founders and CEOs matter of fact he's around the same age that jyp was when he was signed to jype and he used to talk about how corny jyp was for trying to be friends with his idols who are so young I'm trying to basically garnish popularity off of them just for him to turn around and do the same shit.

Second off I have younger brothers even younger than some of the members my littlest brother is younger than Louie but I also have a brother who's the same age as Louie and one who's the same age as Woojin I have a set of twins that are a year older than the two oldest members so they're 21 as of this year. I would be so fucking uncomfortable if my little brothers were signed to a company I don't give a shit it was an entertainment company or something else and they're grown ass CEO like to show up to their dorm unannounced. Sometimes while being fucking pissed drunk and would wake them the hell up so he can sit there and like drunk ramble to them and they had to listen to him because he's still their boss and they're still young and they're afraid of having some kind of punishment. If I sat there and watch freaking interviews where this man was all over my brothers and talking about how they're such good friends and shit but also watching my little brother is literally sit there and speak in another language my brother's happened to be able to speak fucking Creole cuz these are my little brothers on my mom and stepdad side who are half Korean if they sat there and said in fucking Creole that they wish that their CEO would make friends his own age and leave them alone and stop showing up to their dorm during an interview I'd be fucking pissed like why are you so obsessed with being around them is kind of creepy sir you're a grown ass man. Go find a fucking girlfriend maybe that'll help you be her problem.

If I had to sit here and watch my little brother's work so hard to get to the point of debuting just for their fuck ass CEO to consistently put their careers on the line because of the dumb shit he does. Like let's talk about the whole middle finger picture why is it that there's been four different occasions now in the members have talked about that and they all talked about how they didn't know the picture was going up. Jay did not tell them that he was going to post that on to social medias they were pleading at the general public and their fans to understand that they're not delinquent they're good boys that's not who they were they were asked to pose and they did they talked about how they told you they didn't like it they didn't want him to post it up and he said I don't give a fuck I'm the boss.

But then you have dumb bitches trying to sit here and say if the boys were uncomfortable they'll say something. They literally told him they didn't want him posting the picture of them their middle fingers on to the internet and he did it anyway he didn't give a fuck that the 15 17 and 19 year olds were uncomfortable with him doing that because he was their boss.

They literally talked about how they're basically on edge all the time with him. They didn't say it like that but they said oh we don't know which version of Jay we're going to get are we going to get producer Jay Park are we going to get CEO Jay Park or are we going to get best friend Jay Park we don't know so was really hard to tell sometimes and I'm like that's not a healthy work environment for anyone let alone a bunch of really young dudes. Oh and that's not even get into the fact that when they were trainees Jay like to hit them as punishment I don't care what kind of punishment it is I'm pretty sure corporal punishment is something you're not supposed to do in general anymore and then sometimes he would just randomly Ryul because he looked like a bad kid in a troublemaker AKA I think it's because homeboy really does kind of look like Jay and Jay knows damn well that he was a bad kid and troublemaker.

And I also feel like people just kind of forget that at the end of the day he is their boss and not just their boss he's the big boss. He's the founder and CEO of the company you can't say no to him because who knows what punishment you might have or how might end up affecting your group so no shit they're just going to do whatever he says they're not going to make it seem like they're upset a lot or they're mad at what he's doing I wouldn't be surprised that if they do have other friends outside of just their Idol friends but like normal as friends too that they probably especially when they're at school for the two youngest ones complain the fuck out of how annoying their freaking CEO is and how they can't do anything about it they probably worn their friends don't audition for the company I'm telling you it will be living fucking hell but they can't say that publicly. That probably goes against their contracts because I do think people forget that their entire relationship is based off of an employee contract at the end of the day.

Like I would love to see some of the jaywalkers and people who are upset at the fans who call out this weird shit sit there and actually fucking complain to their bosses about things. You wouldn't Jeremy I know that you're upset that they kept overlooking you Samantha because you're a woman but I highly doubt you're going up to your boss or your CEO and telling them hey I want you to give me this raise right now or I'm upset that you keep pushing this work on to me when I don't want to do no you shut the fuck up you sit down you do you work you get paid and then you talk shit about them when you're off work with your friends.

The only difference is that they don't really have that because he might just randomly fucking show up to their dorm that technically they can't even kick him out of because again he pays for it. Look I genuinely think that some people don't understand how contracts work or the fact that K-pop is an industry and it's a job being an idol is not just being with your friends making music even though it can be that sometimes. But you're still working for a corporation just because you seem buddy buddy or close with your boss doesn't mean you actually have a saying shit at the end of the day what they say goes. So you don't want to piss them off.

Anyway I'm done ranting here's a picture of some limited edition Oreo cookies that I bought because the store that I get my groceries from had a sale that they never have they were freaking three things of Oreo cookies for like $12 and doing that those bitches where I live are basically like $10 a fucking pack and they're the family size I jumped on it surprisingly they have the BTS ones and they had the Doom ones so I got both of those and a lemon Oreo pack.

But I genuinely think they're so talented that I don't want Jay to be the reason they are able to become bigger than they are because way too many people are going to affiliate and associate them with him and he's going to fuck up he does it every damn time he has a redemption Arc and then he does some racist stupid shit that pisses off a bunch of people and then instead of just apologizing which would then make most people accept it he goes on a fucking internet rant and makes it worse.

Both of these men are narcissistic and ego driven and the only difference is that people find one of them attractive and the other one is either parentified to his Idol or people can't stand him. And I think it's really weird.

Like people were so quick to have a witch Hunt about MHJ calling new jeans like her daughter and being close with them and their parents. Yet way too many people do not find it weird as hell that motherfucking Jay Park who's almost 40 years old this man is like 10 years my senior so he's like 39 would show up drunk to the dorm of his boy group who's current ages is 16 18 and 20 meaning that they were significantly younger than that and most likely minors just like wake them up while being drunk and talk and hang out with them or the fact that he consistently keeps hanging out with them when he's old enough to be their parents and he's their boss. People keep forgetting that he's still their boss they still have to listen to him.

People can't understand why It's weird when evil Porky the pig shows up to every fucking concert of his artist and constantly is being seen at those concerts and taking pictures and videos and trying to take pictures and videos with fans so it looks like people like him. But no one questions the fact that Jay Park was almost 40 years old has not allowed for his boy group to really do an interview without him being there like I have yet to be able to really fully watch an interview where he's not there there's maybe two of them. But like 90% of the interviews that they've done in Korea he's there it's like 50% the guys actually being asked questions and shit and then 50% him just taking over.

I will blows my mind personally if he's never done this shit before like maybe it's because I used to be a jaywalker maybe it's because I knew this mother fucker during his very short career with 2pm when he decided to start aomg and his other record labels but he was like this if none of his past artists.

And mind you he's had teenage artists before he's had several younger male rappers under his wing that he was a mentor to and it was never this bad and mind you some of them were doing like the K-pop circuit in terms of doing the interviews and the variety shows and the whole night yards.

2 semaines yousta have Jessie Chungha as one of his artists when he took her into more Vision he literally sat there and didn't entire like YouTube Interview shit where he told her how she's so talented and they're going to have her coming out with a bunch of albums and she's going to go in concerts and be able to do world tours because she's been in the industry now for almost a fucking decade and she still has yet to even have a solo concert.

And let's not talk about JB or Lee Hi, Yugyeom like they all started off already solid ass Fan bases solid ass careers and then he didn't do anything to improve them matter of fact all three of them became more stagnant. And it's wild mind you I bought some of the merch the dandelion merch that OMG came out with when brownie signed to them. I have the ring I have the necklace and I was expecting there to be so like we're going in we're going hard. He came out with his first song Under the label featuring gray did really good was heavily promoted and then it was like he was put on the back burner. Like he had more comebacks he's had more songs and stuff but it just wasn't really promoted you didn't really hear shit about it.

Like a lot of us if we didn't follow certain fan accounts wouldn't even have known about any of his promotions that were happening and that's not even getting into the way that if things aren't working out really well for Jay he will just jump shit from these companies and 9 or 10 times he's not even telling the artist under them who signed to those companies because of him that he's jumping ship or he's no longer really going to be actively involved in the company.

And then on top of that I feel like the way that he's been interacting with Shorty's is very interesting. It's almost as if he's interacting with them like they're his fans and not necessarily fans of his boy group because see my issue with him was not even just like the weird races shit because I know some people would be like he never did bitch I'm telling you as a blasian woman who has a Korean stepdad there's knowing fucking hell that Jay Park is that ignorant and unaware of shit when he grew up in New York and never fucking shuts up about the shit. On top of the fact that I'm pretty sure he's deleted these posts now but he literally admitted himself that his own friends including Chacha you know the half black man he would work with as a producer also had warned him with the last like three racist ass things that he did don't do that bro and he still did the shit. His own Korean team was telling him this seems a little too far and he didn't listen to them and then crashed out as like at this point in time he would have been between ages of 35 to 37 crashed out as a mid 30 year old man on the internet for being called out for some caricature racist bullshit.

Well mind you yeah he has fans but like 95% of his fan base when he came back after being kicked out was black people because of his YouTube covers of primarily black artists and then he came out with 좋아 and that did well and garnish him some Korean fans but then he started getting into like ass shaking territory and a majority of his fans again were POC it was black and brown people.

And then he just kept pissing them the fuck off so he pivoted a bit more to trying to get with like the Young crowd and then he started trying to get the Korean young people and the new young people getting into K-pop after K-pop blew up. Like he genuinely kind of didn't really exist that much people weren't paying attention to him until all the sudden his Mick nasty era and he decided he was going to freaking start and only fans just to promote it.

And then came all of the random ass collaborations him with Kiss of Life Natty then it was him sitting there and doing a shit ton of dances with all of the younger K-pop idols at the time it was him collaborating with BM it was him basically doing anything he could to get the younger crowd of the new 20 something year old and teenagers who weren't in their early twenties and late teens in the 2010s when he was at the peak of his career and we're giving him all of their money to start liking him again.

I like Lngshot that's why I find everything that Jay Park is doing really fucking creepy because he is basically doing the exact same shit he used to criticize jyp for doing ironically both of them being named Jay Park just saying.

But he used to go on rants in the beginning of his solo career sometimes when he would be doing live streams or talking with fans about how he was so much happier with his own record label and company because of the things that he didn't like from his old one without saying that and one of the things you talk about is like having all that CEOs trying to use their young talent to keep relevant and it's like sir pot meet kettle.

The same thing that some fans can at least be critical about an aware of when it comes to like a LSM,JYP,YG or even Bang PD. Somehow still manages to go over certain people's heads when it comes to again people they consider attractive if people didn't think that Jay Park wasn't attractive man with his muscles and his tattoos and his Peter Pan syndrome because he definitely doesn't act like a grown ass man who's almost 40 half the time. They would call him out and how weird and creepy this shit is like why are you so overly invested in this group mind you he's supposed to also be debuting a girl group soon and I highly doubt you'll see him as invested in the girl group because that's not the demography he's trying to garnish when it comes to his own type of fans. He's not stupid he knows that the 16 till like 20 something year old crowd especially of women which tends to be his target audience for his fans would be into his boy group.

They're talented they have the looks they have a short yet also long enough age difference to reach different type of demographies you have two members that are young enough that teenage girls will go crazy over them and they might garnish the attention of some women in their early 20s. And then you have two guys who are in their early twenties who definitely go to garnish the attention of the more adult women especially with how often he has them in like short sleeve shirts and occasionally shirtless. So he knows what he's doing like I would never sit there and say that Jay Park isn't necessarily a somewhat smart businessman he's a lot better at business than some of the old heads running some of these K-pop companies. But that doesn't make him any better and I don't know it's just so frustrating and it's so weird seeing people be like see he just cares about the boys and people are stupid for saying he's trying to use them.

When is like but he is. Like I genuinely feel like you need to sometimes like baby talk K-pop fans through shit like genuinely if bang PD or jyp was constantly in interviews with any of their groups right. Especially like a jyp he's also an active Idol you might not like him but he has a crowd of fans old and young who like his music and his shit right if all of a sudden he decided to come out with a mixtape with like fucking stray kids or kickflip that shit would be creepy. Y'all wouldn't be out here going like oh he cares so much about them. You wouldn't think it was so cool and awesome and such a good thing that he's taking kickflip with him on a world tour. You would look at it and be like oh he's taking kickflip because he knows that their fans are going to buy tickets to go to his tour for the boys but it's going to look good for him as an artist and probably boost his ego.

Because Chungha has been an artist under his company for like almost 5ish years now he's gone on tour at least twice while she was under his company why the fuck didn't he take her on tour with him even if it was just for like the Asian leg of the tour he's never done this shit before. He's done like label tours like AOMG would do tours where all of the fucking AOMG artist we're on tour together but that's completely different from it being a Jay Park tour featuring one of his artists.

And the reason why this gets me is that I don't think people understand when this man fucks up because he's going to at some point fuck up and do something that's either very tone-death or racist because he does this like fucking clockwork when he gets back into the public eye and people start liking him again he's going to drag Lngshot down with him because people already heavily affiliate the two together.

Like so much so that I've seen people who aren't necessarily like Kpop reactors but they are like reaction channels on YouTube or even on like XiaoHongshu do reactions to the group and could not help but mention Jay or mentioned that they didn't know that Jay Park wasn't featured in the song. Because they assumed that he was a part of the group to some extent like that's how intertwined his asses my teenage cousin who's the K-pop fan but he's more of a girl group fan is aware of this group because I listen to their music and he thought like he genuinely came to me and was like oh shit I didn't know Jay wasn't actually part of the group because it's the way every time I see a clip of them that man is there. I thought this was like some kind of like temporary group project or some shit he was doing just for me to be like no he's their CEO and then have a fucking 17-year-old look at me confused like what do you mean that's their CEO why is he so invested.

And like when you really think about it it does sound creepy as fuck like literally forget about what he looks like. Like think of this as a random 40-year-old man or 39-year-old man who is the boss and feel of an entertainment company being this close to his young male idols. Randomly showing up to their dorm while drunk on multiple occasions, consistently trying to hang out with them and seem like he's besties with them, heavily affiliating himself with them. Really trying to sell the idea that they're like all in the same boat and they're like besties while he's also their boss. Well he's their producer, CEO, and the owner / co-owner of the company they're assigned to.

Like if this was a J-pop group people would be very fucking concerned because there's been way too many times of weird ass grown men in the Japanese music industry legitimately out here molesting their young teenage boy idols that they're way too fucking invested in and way too God damn close with.

But he's Jay Park and he's considered hot and he's straight and likes women so. He could do nothing wrong you know like this definitely couldn't turn into like an emotional or mental trauma or some weird form of non-sexual type of grooming to use for his own popularity and ego boost. Like definitely like none of that shit could possibly be a possibility of what's Happening.

Like I have given up on jaywalkers being normal about this man because like he has them dickmatized and I'm pretty sure he hasn't even fucked half of them I wouldn't put it past him too have fucked a few fans. Wouldn't definitely not enough for the amount to be out here defending the hell out of him regardless of what he says or does. And the other half I genuinely think are just really young shorties who also happen to find him as an attractive older man and think that it's so cool how close he is with like the band and like everything that they do and also have never actually had like a proper job in their life because I'm sorry if you were working regardless of where you're working if you're working at like a fucking McDonald's after school or at a corner store or some shit and your boss was that fucking close with you you would think that shit was weird.

Anyway that's just like a thought I had because I was having a conversation with my aunt because she was mentioning how she saw Jay replying to fans and how it reminded her of what a fucking narcissist that man is and I was like facts and then it made me think about the fact that there are a lot of narcissistic male founders of entertainment industries in Korea and some of them are really bad yet depending on how their physical attraction is depends on how people judge them. Because either you become oh he's like the papa of the group and we like him like it's either that or the fandoms are like sir please just do your job as a boss and stop trying to heavily affiliate yourself with the group it's really weird at this point I guess getting creepy.
