I don't want to walk in this 미로

다 아는 건 아니어도

Hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh~

I follow at least four different black or black mixed creators who make content on fashion right like their whole aesthetic is like hyperfam girly Asian fashion vibes. And they happen to be cap offense right two of them are actual genuine fans of groups like BTS or stray kids and the rest of them are just like casual listeners right but the thing is the even the two that are actual fans of those groups are casual listeners to other groups right if it has nothing to do with the groups that they're into they're not paying attention to it.

And that's where I feel like it gets dangerous because you now have a bunch of people who have entered the K-pop scene with the mentality that is ran similar to the western music industry. They're not going in there and learning about the industry that they're consuming content from. They're not paying attention to the fact that no Kpop idols and actors/actresses being single or not talking about dating isn't because they're more private or because Korea is a more conservative country it's because them not being seen as available could literally ruin their careers. No artists aren't always seen out and about having fun or interacting with each other or drinking even though they're grown ass adults not because again privacy but because their image is tied to the company and the group so much so that them doing anything remotely human that the fandom and the people who appreciate them don't agree with can cause them to be canceled to have funeral reefs sent to the company and people burning their albums and photo cards in the streets. They cannot just leave their companies or end a contract.

They're not in control of their social media accounts same way of Western artists they just can't go on to social media and decide without letting someone at the company know that they want to go live. They can't sit there and share behind the scenes moments that their company didn't approve of they're not able to sit there and go online and complain about the fact that the company isn't treating them right or that they want to come out with music but they can't because the company's preventing them from doing so something that Western artists have done before and do sometimes when they're not always on best terms with their own company. They can't do that they can't openly talk about conflicts or issues they might have with their company they can't talk about certain members that are put on hiatus or removed from a group even if they didn't want it to happen or allegedly the company says they had to say in it they can't even mention these motherfuckers like they're voldemort.

That's not just oh that's an individual thing that these people decided on no that is an industry rule. The rules of K-pop are completely different from western music industries. They have so many things they're just not allowed to do.

But with the influx of people during the pandemic who became fans of K-pop just appearing. Deciding that hey this sounds cool I'm going to join in and listen to this but then learned nothing about the industry it makes it like a really weird space to be in now if that makes sense.

I am going to ramble now you can just skip this until you see the pink text again.

The K-pop industry was at a really good spot in my opinion before the pandemic. They had enough of a global reach and enough of a western audience primarily made up of Asians born outside of Asia and a lot of pocs primarily and again this isn't the only ones but from what I've experienced and seen a lot of the black brown and Hispanic / Spaniard adjacent communities. Right you didn't have as much of the white community or as much of like the European community when I say white I'm talking about white Americans and Canadians and shit like that. They weren't as into K-pop right and the ones that were into K-pop were already considered outliers by society right they were the weird ones in high school and college they they were the kids that people kind of was like you're doing something about you and I feel like that's why it worked.

Because you didn't have the ones where it's like oh yeah I like this thing and it's a huge part of like my life or my hobbies or whatever it is. And I'm going to make it something that like everyone has to know about and everyone has to hear about and use it to garnish some kind of clout or social standing.

It was more along the lines of I enjoyed this this is fun I'm going to learn what I need to learn about it. That's it. And because of that it also made changes start to happen right there was more conversations about how weird it is that companies can have middle school and high school kids just drop out of school to be trainees full-time because they couldn't go to school on time and so many idols who never even graduated and had to wait years later to get a ged. There was more conversations about stalking and how bad it was and there were more petitions and people protesting and boycotting until companies did something about the stocking situation. There was a push for idols to be able to be human and for companies to stop trying to make them use perfect beings like they can't date they can't talk about falling in love doing x y and z. And I feel like it made sense because yeah it might have been a slow change but it was a change that was happening all of a sudden there was talks about making laws to make stalking illegal there was talks about laws getting put into place to prevent companies from having underage artists drop out of school there were things that were starting to be put into place to change the industry for the better without getting rid of what the industry still technically was. They weren't trying to make music that was just for like the international ear they weren't trying to take the Korean out of k-pop.

And then it became more globalized and things started going backwards. Like I don't think some people realize that we were getting to a point where idols dating was becoming more normalized and then that shit went back like 20 years. All of a sudden you now had a bunch of international fans who yes people seem to forget that even Western fans really do like the fantasy of being able to date their favorite celebrity like there's a reason why that I was kidnapped or adopted by One direction fanfictions were not only a thing but fucking huge for several years and why every time one of those men were seen to be dating someone they have a huge chunk of their fandom to be so upset and then bash the hell out of their partners.

Now you just giving them an entire industry where the norm is artist pretending like they're single or not talking about dating or seeing people so of course the company's double down on that shit now they're even more double down on yeah no they don't date they date nobody. It's the same with like people talking about queer baiting yeah the company's kind of double down on shipping within the companies themselves with certain members because of the fact that now you had an entire new wave of people coming into Kpop who refused to learn anything about the industry and they will look upset with the idea that these two people could be queer or not because again that's something they're just not allowed to talk about which is interesting cuz again there was a change there. We had more male and female idols coming out as bisexual we had more male and female idols giving hints that they weren't necessarily straight or talking about being on like the non-binary Spectrum in terms of the way they like being seen or addressed or dressing and then like that kind of just fucking disappeared again because now it was like oh no we can't start being progressive. We have to cater to be specific types of fans who are unaware who are naive who are willing to just take what we tell them.

We were getting better at the age thing I don't think people realize that. We had an entire era of K-pop right before and right during / after where companies were giving older people a chance. We got k to debut in a group even if it's a J-pop group but it is a Korean based J pop group. Girl group two boys and I believe there were even two bands that were debuted under mid size companies or subsidary companies of the bigger companies we're all of the members were 21 and above. We were starting to move in the right direction and then the new wave of people came in and the companies went we can go back to debuting children matter of fact we could double down and just debut nothing but underage minors fully in these groups because the international fans would eat this up they'll love it.

You had more adult and teen fans defending a bunch of young minors debuting because they genuinely thought that the K-pop music industry was better than the western music industry and didn't understand things like trainee or idle debt. They didn't understand things like no these kids don't have a say in the type of music they come out with. Ooh they have a credit in helping write the lyrics You do know that the company could just tell them give us one line one word and then put them down as part of the lyric team just so people will stop questioning how full of innuendos their music is how questionable some of the songs are coming out with is. Like some songs I get it right you can mistake them like new jeans is Cookie I can see how someone can mistake that for being a more sexual song when it's not. But then you have songs like macaroni and cheese where there is no way in hell you can take mac and cheese and not see that song for being filled with induendos the lyrics the way they're saying certain things like they're clearly talking about sex even though it's a group of teenage girls.

Enhypen I like the group I cannot listen to them when they first debuted because you can't look at a song like drunken days or fever and not see the sexual undertones to it and it's weird because nowadays people literally be like yeah fever is clearly about that heat or mating season that vampires would go through where they're just hot and horny and it's like you do understand that like the youngest members were like 14 15 to like maybe 17 at the time. That's fucking weird and then and again I'm not blaming the fans who point this out and I'm not blaming the members but you can't be surprised that as soon as Nikki turned fucking 18 people were out here absolutely sexualizing the shit out of that man because his company has been doing it since he was 14 but the fans ignored it.

I was a casual listener of theirs up until probably pass the mic I think that's when I really kind of became more of an actual fan of theirs rather than just a casual listener. But up until that point I still would occasionally watch fan-made guys I watched fan-made videos right cuz I like watching videos of idols funny moments or like iconic moments even if I'm not a fan of groups. Cuz a lot of the accounts that I follow are multifans so they'll have things for groups that I do like and then groups that I don't really pay attention to so I'll still watch those videos cuz I like the people who make videos so like I'll give you my view.

That being said it was very obvious how much this company kind of pushed him in terms of wanting him to have this war which were sexy image even though he was the youngest member. It was especially obvious when he was around like 16 and the voice dropped. And like you have to understand as a teenager you want to be seen as mature sometimes that does translates wanting to be seen as desirable and sexy like I might be an adult now but I remember when I was a teenager. When I was 16 and like puberty really hit me like a fucking killer in the back the fuck up and hit me a second time just to be sure. My body became more curvy I had more boobs and ass I was looking good as hell I'm telling you all of a sudden I was out here wearing Victoria's Secret push-up bras any kind of semi low-cut shirt I could my jeans look painted on. I enjoyed it when I would be in school and I could hear the guys behind me specially if they were seniors or I thought they were hot talking about wow look at her ass is so perfect that is literally something I would hear a few times when I was a teenager in high school because I would dress a certain way because I wanted to be desirable.

So I would never blame A K-pop Idol who's a teenager going through puberty in the public eye and decide they want to feel that way they want to come off that way they don't want the fans to see them as the baby anymore as the little kid anymore. Hell I remember going through that and then watching as fellow idols the same age as me like the freaking Bambam, Yugyeom, Jungkook's started going through their phase of wanting to no longer be seen as like the little kid. As they sat there and started most of them it was more along the lines of when they were like 17 to 20 starting to trying to look more adultish and by the time they hit like 23 it was over. They were like yeah see how hot I am and it's like yeah I get that. Like 16 all the way up until like your early twenties I feel like most people's 21 to 22 you kind of want to be seen a certain way you want to be perceived a certain way and then you kind of start realizing how society works and then you kind of take a step back from that cuz you're like yeah people are going to see me however the fuck they want to see me regardless. But also ew I might not be receiving the type of attention that I actually want and desire instead I might be receiving the attention of people I'm not interested in so you take a step back from doing that. But that's if you're a normal person if you're a K-pop Idol and everyone has always seen you as the baby for so long I feel like you kind of just double down on that shit. You double down even more on no look how sexy I am look at all of these shirtless pictures of me look at me in my itty bitty crop top and shorts look how hot I am.

And to a degree it sucks because you also know the company's pushing it. You know damn well the company sitting there like yeah we want you to be the very desirable and we want you to come off XY and z type of way we need you to come off this way so we could sell you as a product to a very specific crowd of people.

And the thing is if you are a genuine K-pop fan who decided to learn about the industry because it is so intertwined with the music and the artist you would know that for years people have been trying to fight that because of how fucking weird it is. They've been trying to fight the whole idea of these young artists having to debut or having all these minors with really weird creepy concepts or really weird outfits. Oh cool this is just a fun choreography where they're like hopping and dancing around and they're using a bouncy ball or medicine ball. Yeah you're right it could be seen that way except you also have to look at the fact that you're talking about companies that purposely with sexualize the youngest members now having a whole group of young primarily teenage barely 20 year old girls in short skirts and short shorts bouncing on a medicine ball in a country where the highest genre of porn they like to watch is underage girls or girls who look like teenagers fucking grown men and you think that that wasn't done on purpose or that that wasn't done with alternative meaning. Like you either have to be really young or ignorant.

Like no people aren't trying to ruin the fun in Kpop after asking for it back but if you've been in Kpop fan long enough or you actually took time to learn about the industry you would know about all the other older idols who either chose to retire or become actors or some of them straight up just became normal salary men and women.

But they talked about their time as K-pop idols they talked about how they had no say in the outfits that they wore how some of them found some of these fun choreographies or things they wanted to do questionable. AOA right their youngest member I forgot how to spell her name she was like 16 when they debuted and they had some pretty questionable last songs that they had heard sitting here dancing to dress like the rest of the girls right I'm pretty sure when heart attack and mini skirt came out she was under 18 or had just turned 18 for one of them. And they had her on stage in these short mini skirts and dresses in these high heels in these booty shorts and crop tops doing very sexy choreography and it was so easy to forget how young she was. Even if you yourself were younger than her and a teenager or close to her in age you also forgot how young she was because they made her look so much older in terms of the choreography and stuff they had her doing. Like I don't think people understand you can 100% mistake a teenager if you pay them in the right outfits and makeup for being in there twenties.

Like the weird vibe people get about aging is funny as hell because we have K-pop idols who are in their thirties that with the right makeup and dressing look like they're in their early to mid-20s you can have a K-pop Idol or even a normal person in their twenties with the right makeup and outfits look like they're teenager it's not as hard as you think right it's kind of when people complained about the Sims 4 teenagers and young adults looking the same that's because that's what it looks like in real life. Once you hit puberty if you kept your mouth shut and you dressed a certain way and did your makeup and hair certain way you 100% can pass as a college student. It is not as hard as you think it is.

Just like there's a reason why you could have a super senior who's like fucking 20 years old and still a senior in high school and people would believe that they are a senior in high school and wouldn't second guess the fact that that's a grown ass adult because you can be 20 and still look like you belong in the 16 to 18 crowd.

That's why people are concerned with how many groups or debuting with everyone's a minor yeah it was normal for one or two members to be underage and even then the average age was like 16 17 for the youngest member. Like people be mentioning motherfuckers like Taemin and jungkook and it's like they were the outliers. Like I don't think y'all understand most 97 liners that debuted debuted after BTS you weren't having fucking 14/15 year old debuting in a lot of these groups. When Got7 debuted the youngest members were 16/17 I know because I'm the same age as them. When 17 debuted very youngest members who are wanted 2 years younger than me were again 16 17 because I was 18 when that group debuted. That was the average age of the youngest member 16 being the absolute youngest anything younger than that was an outlier.

That's why when you have these casual K-pop fans and listeners joining in and they're like oh yeah but we saw that taemin, jungkook, BOA, IU the old debuted when they were like 14 they were the outliers there were a bunch of 14-year-olds debuting in second and third gen as much as some of y'all want to believe or they weren't.

But you would know that if you took like 5 minutes to actually look into like the history of the K-pop industry like yeah they debuted Young folks but they weren't that young. They had to be appealing still and most of their teenage fans were between the ages of 16 to 18 so it made no sense to go younger than that. And it's kind of wild to think that now you have groups for the youngest members debut at like 15 going on 16 and they're the outlier because they're considered older. I saw someone talking about the other day when they were like they were so surprised at how old Louie was from Lngshot because most K-pop idols nowadays he's like the same age as part of like the older or middle-aged members in a group and I was like that is true that is wild. Are 20 they were born in 2006 and people were talking about how weird that was to have 20-year-olds debut do you know how fucked we have to be that people think 20 year olds debuting is kind of old.

The youngest member in BND is 20. And they debuted what like 3 or 4 years ago when he was like 16. And to think that that is now considered like an outlier that's weird to be the youngest member and debuting at like 16. It makes me want to rip my hair out.

But this also makes sense because this is what the companies want and I think that's where the danger comes in.

Because if the companies can now have a bunch of fans come into the fandoms and come into the genre of music and their biggest issue is picking who your favorite member is and they're not paying attention to like the companies the history of some of these companies things that are happening with these artists and companies. That means the corporation can get away with a lot more shit.

Enhypen they're a great example I feel like they're always going to be one of my example for boy groups because their company be shit really shows you what you can get away with. Long time K-pop fans who also happen to be fans of this group have been talking about boycotting so that the boys can have a proper rest cuz they've been overworked so hard. They talk about the logistics of it they'll explain to you why it works because again they've been a part of the K-pop fandoms and they know how the industry works better than anyone else yet because their group The debuted during the pandemic and have a lot of newer fans that were not K-pop fans that just stumbled upon their survival show and the group they don't get that. So they're fighting against them.

They're telling you that it's a horrible thing to boycott the company and the boys because then they'll have no leverage when it comes to like contract renewal and it's like y'all don't understand contracts renewals in East Asia do not work the same as they do in Western culture. In America and Canada and Europe if you become really big and you're doing numbers and you know you're popular you have more power against your company. You're allowed to be like see this is the money I'm bringing in these are the fans I'm bringing in these are my terms and conditions. It's kind of the opposite.

If the company feels as if they have to overwork you in order for you to keep up your fandom and to keep up your momentum that's not a good thing it just means they're going to overwork you more. What you need is a solid fan base right a fan base that would be willing to do something like boycotting but also who shows that they're serious about the group. Not the company the group they're willing to sit there and sacrifice a concert or a tour if it means they're artists can rest. They're willing to boycott and demand changes from the company into the company gives it to them. That proves to the company that they need the artist not the other way around. That if their group left dear fandom will leave with them.

Be shit over working the hell out of this boy group and having them be on tour for over 400 Days and the fandom complaining but never doing anything complaining and then selling out the tour tickets complaining and then buying tickets for the next concert and World Tour that they announced 2 days after their legendary 400 plus Day Tour just finished.

That proves that the fandom cares more about the quantity of content that they get rather than the quality or the health of their artists. That the company can basically do whatever they want treat them however they want as long as they dangle something nice and shiny in front of their fans their fans will be docile and basically playing to the company's hands and you might be like no they wouldn't yes it would.

They tested it out with the tour right even when we literally had footage from behind the scenes of the members covered in pain patches barely able to move. When we had literal fan cams of certain artists all that stage crying because of how much pain they were in. And the fans still couldn't sit there and actually boycott they still Force those men on those stages while being in excruciating pain because they can't say no to their companies that's how K-pop contracts work. Because the fandom wanted that dopamine hit so badly. And then the company was able to kick out a member and again the fandom is just allowing it to happen yes there are people who are fighting against it now but it's also shown to the company and to fans when you look at it and they're coming goal is not the artist. They're common goal for a lot of them is that dopamine hit is having content to watch is being entertained regardless of how many members they have that are entertaining them regardless of how injured or hurt the members get for entertaining them they don't care as long as they stay in entertained.

That is an issue but it's one that was bound to happen when a majority of their fan base are first time K-pop fans who refused to learn anything about the Korean entertainment industry. Like the amount of K-pop fans that I've seen now or people who claim to be came out fans that are so unaware of like the dark side of the entertainment industry and the shady shit that these companies are willing to do and you're like not my company cuz my group is treating no your company too and your group to you're just not realizing it because they're not doing the super big bad things they're doing the micro bad things. The amount of groups where it's like oh my group isn't on a diet have you not noticed how small your group members are the way they talk about eating the way they don't actually eat anything when they're supposed to be eating stuff and they're just pushing around yes your company's most likely giving them some form of eating disorder a lot of companies do that a lot of older idols have talked about having to deal with eating disorders because of their companies. That didn't stop they just stop talking so adamantly about dieting or they have their artists talk about how dieting is bad and you shouldn't diet to the fans while simultaneously still having them have a set weight that they have to be because it's written in their contract.

Because yeah they're contracts are fucking insane we've had idols who've talked about the fact that will be written in their contract that they can't weigh over a certain amount like they can't be more than like a hundred pounds even if they're like fucking 5 ft 9 in tall. How it's in their contract that they always have to be crop top and mini skirt ready. For some of the male artists it's that they always have to be in shape enough that they are able to take their shirts off and have a six pack.

And even now it's written like that in some K-pop contracts they didn't get rid of it they just stop talking about it some idols talk about the fact that they're not even allowed to do anything to their hair without the company's permission and I'm not talking like oh you can't like cut your hair from like waist length to Bob or you can't dye your hair I mean like they can't even get a trim on their hair. They're not allowed to like retouch their bangs They can't put certain products in their hair without permission from their company.

Some contracts have it written that if the company tells them they have to get a procedure done they have to get a procedure done they can't be like no I don't want to sit there and get plastic surgery I don't want to sit there and get a nose job they have to because it's written in their contract. That's why I'm always like y'all it's dangerous to be a K-pop fan who refuses to actually learn about the industry and how everything is ran. Because then you start falling for all the propaganda and bullshit that the companies will push out.

And I genuinely think that's scary and the fact that there's now a huge chunk of K-pop fans where it's like the vast majority I'd say about 80% of them where that's exactly how they interactive K-pop they know nothing about the industry they know nothing about the history of the industry they refuse to listen to older fans and I'm not even talking age wise I'm just talking people who have been fans of K-pop longer than they have when they tell them I get that you think this is what's happening but that's not how it works in this industry. But they choose ignorance because ignorance is bliss is easy to overlook the fact that K-pop idols are nothing more than contracted slaves it is slave labor they basically get paid in pennies and dimes they are constantly in debt to these companies. HYBE & JYPE are great examples of this even when people don't want to admit it. The yellow company has three different groups currently who have all sat there and mentioned or talked about the fact that they still haven't gotten paid or they only just already got getting paid as a K-pop Idol and they're like 5 years in. They're still living off of their parents sending them allowance every month so they can buy their own food or sending them food and snacks from home. Because that's how in debt they are to the company that they're still not able to pay them back let alone get paid themselves. I believe it was day 6 and you have to understand well day 6 might not be huge internationally they're huge in Korea as a band and they have been for years and the members talked about how even though they were doing big shows in Korea and even a few in Europe as a band they were doing all these festivals and they were really popular they didn't start getting paid until their fifth or sixth year and like their first check was literally like 5 or 10 cents. Mind you this is a group Who currently is on their second contract and is selling out the only band in Korea and the second artist outside IU to sell out the Olympic stadium in South korea. Who have always been fairly popular and performing in all of these different places and they didn't really start getting paid until like their 5th Year as a band and their first paycheck was literal change.

Yet people want to sit here and still idolize the K-pop lifestyle and pretend like no if you're from a big or mid-sized company you're getting paid so well and the company treats you so and it's like no they don't. At the end of the day they still are just trying to make money off of them. They have to sell a fantasy so that the fans keep buying into it and giving them their money but like it's really dangerous.

That's why the new Jean situation is so scary that's why the situation with most of the artists under that company is so scary.

One why do half of these look green screened / Photoshop too why do they both look like this is a hostage situation what the fuck is up with those smiles. Like I'm not trying to be rude I have no clue who the fuck this white blonde woman is outside of the fact that apparently she's also a YouTuber but there's only two things that this is kind of reminding me of there is a really really well worded prenup and people forget that peanuts don't just protect the men if you're a woman you can be really smart with your peanuts okay and I would assume that she has a really really good prenup that's going to allow her if she survives one year or like four years or however many years cuz Mr Beast likes a challenge of her surviving in this relationship she gets like a quarter of his assets.

The second third fourth I don't even know what number I'm on this right here the fact that this is a week-long celebration that they're having for their wedding kind of proves that him trying to be like I'm so poor doesn't work. Even if some people are unaware that rich people have most of their money tied up in acids and trust funds and credit Unions rather than Banks and actual physical money you wouldn't be able to afford having a week-long celebration wedding without money. And I'm not saying that there's a higher chance and possibility because apparently they've been dating for a long time that part of the reason why they're getting married now because they're not that old I'm pretty sure Jimmy boy is actually either the same age as me or a year younger and yeah I know some people be like being in your late twenties is old it's really not on average where we're at currently in society and with the social economic way that the world is working on average most people aren't really getting married or having kids until they're in their 30s in the first place.

I just think the timing of it you know if I was dating a guy and he ended up getting to the point that Mr B Scott at and I sat there and had some form of faith in a really good lawyer and a prenup I too would tie the knot something I always tell people. And this is as someone who genuinely does like the idea of getting married one day you have to understand that getting married legally is not for love that is a contract.

I may be a part of me thinks this because again I come from a mixed social economic household and family where I know people who have been in the bottom of the barrel and those who are part of like the fucking 1%. But it is a contract and you better make sure that contract and that prenup is worded really well so that at the end of it all you get something out of it. Like genuinely speaking you just have to make sure that it's worded in a way where you know you could survive having to look at this person's face and deal with them for an x amount of years without cheating physically and you know you can do that and by the time that comes around if you really do get sick and tired of them when you dip you take a good portion of that money of those assets that you're not left High and dry. You make sure that you include shit if you're super fucking rich like spousal support you make sure you have shit tied and lock down that if y'all have children what they would have to do you know not oh you'll have to pay child support I'm talking you would have to make sure that our children can continue living the life that they have been born into. If we're out here having our kids being driven around and fucking Ferraris and going to like the most top private schools and they have an at-home chef and they're used to living in the lap of luxury it will be in the fucking prenup that if that's how we raise our kids if we get divorced you have to still pay for that lifestyle for our children. You introduce them to that world and you're going to keep having them in that world and if you're really smart you sit there and you make sure that all of this is included for until they're 21 and not 18 and it's included because you'll be like as long as they're in college and or university you are also legally obligated to pay for all or part of their education. You have to make sure that all your eyes are dotted and all your t's are crossed.

That being said I learned about this against my will I saw a short of someone talking about it because I was watching a vertical drama on YouTube and then was trying to see if I can find any more vertical drama Swatch and for me it's easier to just go through the shorts you'll find a short amount of vertical drama and then you just keep scrolling and you'll come across like seven more and they're all accounts that just post up vertical dramas.

But in between me doing that and subscribing to a couple of new accounts to keep my dopamine vertical drama addiction at peak level I saw like two different people doing shorts about mystery sweating and sharing pictures and I genuinely sat there and thought that this was fake. There's no way this is a real picture the one of them like doing the the dip where he's dipping her looks straight up green screen AI that doesn't even look like the two of them it looks like someone chopped his head off of a picture and then just like made it super sized and stuck it on top of some other dudes body.

So I was like there's no way in hell you're telling me that Mr beast and Taylor Swift do both decided to get married in July for some weird ass reason and then apparently the answer is yes yesterday they did. And I never thought I would say this but like how the fuck did Mr Beast and his wife now I guess have more decorum and a better wedding from my opinion and from what I've seen and from what people talked about then fucking Taylor Swift in her weird ass Gotti I'm going to sit here and make it annoying as hell for all New Yorkers in the middle of a heatwave so I can have this Grand wedding and invite a bunch of trump supporters in white supremacist. Like no offense I have not been a fan of or listen to Taylor Swift since her enchanted era because like that was Peak t Swift for me personally I even owned the perfume I still own two of like the little small sample bottles of that perfume because that's how much I like that perfume and I loved that era and I was actually still a teenager during the time.

But then I stopped being a teenager and realized how repetitive her music kind of was and also the fact that no offense to her. She seems to be the common denominator and issue in all of her relationships based off of her music alone and having like that much awareness to write music about it but also being so unself aware to the point you don't realize you're the problem and you might just need therapy it's a little off-putting personally. So I just like kind of soft listening to her it's also fun facts / FYI I don't really listen to a lot of pop music in general like K-pop is the outlier because if I am listening to pop music it's hyperpop okay it's what my grandmother used to like to call white trashy hyper pop right where it's like really raunchy it's trashy it's a little bit like questionable it's like why are you sitting here talking about snorting cocaine and dancing in the rain while sucking some dude's dick kind of raunchy hyper pop bullshit.

That's just the type of pop music that I gravitate towards more and I do think part of it is because I was exposed very early on to groups that I probably shouldn't have been. Like I remember being in middle school and one of my friends sat there and was like oh my God my older sibling listens to this band and it's so crazy and again I don't like the band the people in it are like fucking horrendous ass motherfuckers but this was like at the peak of warped Tour and shit like that when like that was actually really popular and it was like blood on the dance floor and bands of that caliber so it's like yeah I think it makes sense that this is the table pop music I'm into and then outside of that I only really listen to like R&B hip hop and rap to a certain extent and a lot of like just old school shit like you more likely listen to my playlist and it's 99.99% 80s and 90s music with the occasional 2010 thrown in there. Like Lady Gaga and Kesha were the holy grail for me in terms of like mainstream pop artists. Katy Perry was all right.

Anyway back to like what I'm talking about here. I didn't know this was happening and it it's a surprise to me because like it shouldn't be now that I think about it. I've watched a few people do like deep dives into Mr Jimmy whatever the fuck his last name is whitey MC white white rich boy and outside of the fact that he clearly has issues. And the fact that he is about as entertaining and has the personality of soggy white bread from everything I've seen and the only people he should be appealing to really is just like children and maybe some of his fellow like white people. I forgot that when people are rich anything goes you know people will forgive them like who cares that he's not there and decided to open up a amusement park in a country that still has slavery, that you're not allowed to record anything when you go there and that even the prizes and stuff that you can win is questionable along with like the fact that you have to sign a waiver because you could end up getting immensely injured who cares that he did that and I'm pretty sure that shit failed within like the first two three months, who cares if he's out there and decided to come out with multiple rip-offs of things that already existed like that one game that was really fucking popular in the late early 2000s and beginning of the 2010s where you would collect the little figurines and you put them in that game thing and you fight with them I remember that I didn't play the game has for that I don't know what the fuck it's called. I'm also pretty sure he kind of ripped off Skylanders too, who cares if he ripped off lunchables and then it was so bad that it had actual mold growing in it you never catch that in a fucking lunchables that's for sure. Who cares about his fake philanthropy that has been proven multiple times at some of the things he says he does is in over exaggeration or he doesn't actually do any of that in the first place, the fact that 90% of his so-called good faith and I'm doing it to help people really is just him creating the squid games IRL and he's been doing this shit longer than this good game says actually been around but no one questioned it, who cares is his entire career is built questionably so because he was just obsessed with becoming super popular because clearly he was a loser little freak when he was like high school or some shit and he just had to sit there and be like no I could be the popular Rich joc guy. I'm going to sit there and I'm going to become that stereotype of the kid that no one truly paid attention to was kind of a little bit of a fucking weirdo but he becomes the richest person you ever met Amber to make sure all of the people who look down on me have to beg me for money like genuinely he comes off as like a cartoon villain I don't get how people don't just break out laughing every time they look at him.

Hello my beautiful Dreamweavers!

I have a reading for you guys today again take what resigns with you and throw away what doesn't it you probably won't discover this reading anyway unless it's something that you need to hear. But today's one of those days where I don't know I feel like extra bubbly extra light and spiritually if you want to put it like that I don't know exactly how to explain it. Feel very much so in my Luna Lovegood bag basically.

But today's reading is an interesting one I use my fortune cookie Deck, Faye whispers,Dragon magic, The star seed Oracle and of course my tried my true my favorite Moonology deck.

I like always we start off with a fortune cookie. I shuffled the duck and pulled out tough and trying times. Tough times ahead, think long-term and make decisions accordingly. Avoid negative people at all costs.

The vibes I'm getting from this is currently we're going through a phenomenon that we're not going to see you for another 14 years where we have I believe it's like five or six planets that are perfectly aligned in the night sky for the past like about 2 or 3 days cuz it's it was getting there it started off with I believe like four of the planets you could see and they were in line before it got to all of them and it's kind of like a Time where delusion is more likely to come true for lack of better way of putting it from my understanding again I don't know much about astrology but this is based off of The vibes that I've been getting for the past like 2 and 1/2 days.

This also feels like a reminder that your inner World reflects in your outer world most of what you see in the 3D is because of consistency having the same consistent baseline thoughts whether you're aware of them or not that might have been instilled in you way back when you were a child and you believe in it. Now you're trying to change that.

Because you're trying to change programming that has been there for years you're going to go through some tough times it's going to feel like you're fighting yourself internally. But you need to think more so in the long term don't sit there and only think about what you assume should be the next step or should work now. Instead it's telling you to think about what you want in a year from now where do you want to be July 2027 what do you want to be experiencing what do you want your life to look like what do you want your life to look like in the next 5 years what would 2031 look like? Don't think so short-term don't just think of oh if I want this and it happens well how would X y and z happen to get there. Instead it's kind of like nudging you and telling you think bigger and longer instead of being like Oh I want to move to this city or country or have this job but these are all the steps I have to get nope just think about actually having the job moving to the place what would that be like what would it look like. Stay within that state of existence.

Which I think makes no more sense cuz the next card from the fae whispers is fairy feelings. We fairies connect so easily when you're filled with laughter and joy. But we understand when you feel sad. We send fairy hugs and sing Sweet lullabies, all to make you smile again.

You're allowed to feel sad you might actually be feeling sad today is a pretty depressing day where I'm at it's overcast it's raining it's been on and off thunderstorms. And it's okay to have those feelings and to feel that but you are most connected with Source universe God whatever it is you believe in when you sit with those feelings of joy laughter and happiness. When you choose to look at the brighter side of things being happier about stuff rather than only thinking of the negative.

To me it feels like you're being told that tough times are happening they exist they're going to exist. But you should still look at the brighter side of things because while there are things that are going wrong there are so many little things that are going right that you probably just overlook. But when you start paying attention to the things going right more goodness and rightness will happen in your life.

Now I think this is a trusting cuz I tried to pull only one card from these decks and dragon magic was having none of it. I was shuffling and three cards fell out and I was like okay no let me do it again and then the same three cards fell out again so clearly they the dragons have a lot to say.

Dragons watch. We are guardians. We see far, fly to the stars, and have been on this planet longer than any human can comprehend. We are watching over you, keeping you safe. You are protected!

Dragon sense. You are intuitive, human child. You are connected with realms in between and beyond your world. We dragons can heighten and sharpen your natural intuition - breathe in, and feel your every sense awakened and expand.

Dragon allies. We dragons now send you powerful, helpful allies who will stand by your side. Help each other - hand to hand, Heart to Heart - and see your world grow strong in love, freedom and understanding.

The dragons did not come to play they basically sat there and said you have us on your side and you are so much more than you feel and think. I feel like a lot of you who are reading this have been in a slump in general but especially when he comes to manifestation or staying positive in your life creating new assumptions that work for you and not against you. And the dragons have been watching that because that's what they are their guardians their Watchers they've noticed this happening for you and they want you to know like they're keeping you safe they're watching over you at the same time you have to listen to your intuition. You're probably having moments where you feel like you should do something or wear something feels right or something feels wrong but you're ignoring that.

You're preventing yourself from being yourself if that makes sense like you're stopping yourself from being a little weird from believing in what you want to believe in seeing the things that you truly wish to see in the world being optimistic or having the grand dreams that you have. Something is making you feel as if you have to be not necessarily grounded but that's what you're calling it. More so like you have to make yourself smaller and be more realistic instead of going for what you want and being the rainbow fish with the pretty scales you're pulling your skills off and giving them to everyone else so that you can blend it and so that at the end of it all you all look exactly the same you're trying to conform to what you think is the norm when that is the absolute opposite of what you should be doing.

Yeah I think that's what you're struggling with because the moon ology cards I pulled was full Moon and sagittarius, look at the bigger picture. Full moon in aquarius, show the World the real you and full moon in pisces, Balance spirituality and practicality. And then to end it all was new moon eclipse expect powerful change.

The cards have been telling from the beginning look at the bigger picture stop looking at things from a day-to-day aspect right you're driving yourself crazy trying to micromanage it feels like your manifestations where you're like okay if I'm going to manifest something it has to be x y and z and this is how it has to happen. Like by tomorrow I have to have this or by the end of the week and it's like stop thinking like that thing bigger picture. If it's too much to think a year in advance I think next month. What do you want next month what would next month look like for you if you had all things you wanted?

Balance spirituality and practicality along with show the world the real you again it's with the dragons are trying to tell you too which is you have to be yourself you can't keep dimming yourself or creating a version of yourself that you think is more practical more realistic. You can combine some aspects of what you view as realistic and practical with who you actually are don't get rid of the parts of you that believe doing a ritual like talking to the moon, Dancing in The Rain lighting an incense & meditating or whatever it might be. That makes you feel more like yourself that makes you feel spiritually connected taken care of ect. Like don't try and be something you're not practically or even spiritually.

For some people manifesting means praying to a god or goddess that you believe in and leaving it up to them, it can mean having a full-on conversation with yourself out loud as if something has already happened, it could be having a feeling about something that you want and letting it go or it can be sitting there and creating an elaborative story or idea or planning out exactly what it is you're going to do when you get the thing that you want. Whatever it is you need to do you need to do that.

And once you realize this expect powerful change once you start allowing yourself to exist as yourself not as a shell of yourself or as the version of yourself you think your family society life whatever wants you to be things are going to be moving rapidly. Is going to go from feeling like everything is pretty stagnant to everything is moving at lightning speed. Like you're going to go from worrying and being like I really want to do this thing but it's not happening to okay let me do what I have to do to feel aligned and good spiritually mentally physically whatever and then all of a sudden it's like the Gateway is open and you'll find yourself within the next 48 hours experiencing like a crap ton of things just going super right for you.

And lastly from the Star seed Oracle. You're already doing It. Stop overthinking, keep facing your true north. Council of light. Divine orchestration, helpers in the subtle realms. Imrama , where are you being called to journey to? And don't dim to fit in. How are you dimming your light in order to fit in?

Yeah like the consistent message that y'all need is allow yourself to be the little weirdo that you are. You're preventing yourself from doing that you're dimming your light you're trying to be something that you're not to fit into a box or mold that you don't need to fit into. Like this is really solidifying that you already know what it is that you want you know what your true north is what it is you desire and you're trying to bring into your life but for whatever reason you keep trying to dim your light or think smaller than what it is that is calling to you. You already kind of have an idea of where you being led to the journey that you could go on or will experience off of this thing that you desire. And you're being told to stop overthinking it stop complicating it stop trying to figure out how to do it in a way that basically kind of incorporates and makes everyone happy rather than just thinking about doing it for yourself. Because the happier and better off you are the happier and better off the people around you will be and those who no longer serve their purpose in your life are going to leave regardless and it feels like some of y'all are holding on to these people because you have emotional ties to them and it's time to let go. Que Sera Sera what will be will be. If they're meant to leave they're going to leave regardless holding on to them is like holding on to water or sand it's still slipping through your fingers. The difference is are you going to let the sand fall from your hand and allow the wind to take it away to only have a few grains left that you can easily just dust off or are you going to hold on to it till you have sand embedded into your fingernails where it's almost impossible to get it out and it just makes you feel irritated and you're constantly trying to remove it but you can't cuz it feels like you're just pushing it deeper and deeper into your nail.

AKA are you going to do it the easy way or are you going to do it a hard way one way where you're able to sit there and learn and grow from it in a productive way that at least teaches you something or another way where it makes you kind of become bitter. Where you start second guessing everything and holding on to it and you become the person who drinks poison while expecting the other person to die?

Like you already have your helpers regarding angels, higher self, source, the universe, god, goddesses whatever it is you believe in they're already working behind the scenes to get you what you want to get you from point A to point z. The thing is they just need you to know what point z is. They're like instead of you sitting here and beating yourself up trying to figure out A to point B to point B to point C they're like just choose your endpoint and the thing is you can have multiple things right if you're manifesting multiple things then maybe you have a point A to point C for one thing and then another thing is a point d to point f. But they're saying just figure out what that end goal is for each of those desires that you have.

We will do the rest they are basically a self-driving car you are the passenger in the car the only thing you need to do is type in the destination and enjoy the ride. You're going to have moments while you're sitting there and you have your food and water and we'll say you're not in like a regular car you're like an RV right you can sleep you can eat you can use the bathroom you can shower you can do all these things. But the RV is going to get you to where you need to be as long as you put the destination into the GPS. All you need to do is take care of yourself on the RV the food is stocked the water tanks are full, you have the softest bedding perfect lights you stop every few days to walk outside stretch your legs look at the scenery of where you've come now. And that's what they're telling you to do like that's all you have to do they just need you to take care of yourself eat sleep be happy.

I'm also getting the message of finding the joy in life allowing for negative energy like jealousy to guide you and not hinder you. Right I don't know why it's giving the feeling of like sitting down and watching a YouTube video that pops up in your recommended and it's like someone doing a vlog and they're vlogging in this place that you want to move to or you want to visit and one hand you kind of feel like super excited watching it on the other hand you're feeling jealous and thinking why isn't that me that should be me. And it's like don't let yourself fester in the bad feelings of it but allow that to be your guiding point. You feel jealous because you know now this is what you want if you're unaware of what it is that your destination is maybe that's what the jealousy is trying to tell you your destination is you want to be in the really happy relationship, you want to be traveling to this place, you want to have your own house tour where you're moving into your own apartment or house in whatever city state country that you want to live in. Understand that feel the negative emotion a little bit and then let it go be like thank you emotions for letting me know that this is what I want so now I can add that to the list I can put that into the GPS this is also something I want let's make a stop on our way to my dream life to finding and having my ideal partner coming to my life to traveling to this place and visiting will add this into I want to live here this is part of that destination now.

Like I'm seeing the image in my head of someone crossing a Finish Line and they're celebrating and they have all these people around them who are also cheering them on they have people they've never met before coming up to them and giving them hugs giving them kisses on the cheek embracing them letting them know like yes you finally you made it to your destination and all you need it to do was allow yourself to exist allow yourself to just be. You're trying too hard for something that is already predetermined.

Is giving the tortoise and the hare right for whatever reason you are currently trying to be the rabbit. You think that you have to rush and you have to stop and do all these things while like getting there as fast as possible but in actuality you need to be the tortoise slow and steady wins the race. The tortoise is existing it is just being what it is a tortoise it is not trying to go any faster than it naturally is it's not trying to do more than it normally would it is existing as it is and fully embracing that this is why I'm I move slow and steady and that is okay and that is why it wins the race. Because it's not racing with anyone else but itself it's not actually in a race with the rabbit it's doing it cuz it wants to prove to itself that it can run the race.

You're kind of at this point where you're trying to prove to yourself that you can have whatever it is you want to have that you can manifest whatever it is you want to manifest and this reading is telling you you can by just knowing what it is you want and letting it go allowing yourself to exist without freaking out about it all the time or feeling like you have to do 20 million different techniques in order to have it.

Mind you both of these are like legitimate quotes that this man has said this is why I always find it really weird when people want to turn around and defend be shit and their CEO and they kind of forget that this man is nothing more than evil piggy banks yes man and his ass kisser.

And I was thinking about this because of the siding we've had of h&h at the airport and how people seem to be like falling for this bullshit. Of course we're randomly seeing the girls when we haven't seen not hair or dust of them except for around the time a court case is about to happen. This three cases three hearings that are about to happen the one against the X employee that again their legal troubles are being paid for by the company which is wild cuz they don't work there anymore against MHJ and then the Danielle and her mother and mhj versus Ador case happening within the next weak. Next week and the week after.

Like that's why all of a sudden we see these random pictures of the girls that allegedly are from random fans and paparazzi. Mind you these are all very Michelle just like people that the company has hired or actual staff members that they tell to like stand at the other end of like a street to take these random ass photos when they're just out and about in these random foreign countries cuz again no one knows that they're here.

No one's aware of them randomly being thrown out to England and America and now I believe it was like Latin America or some shit. Except for the company and again the only time we ever see them is when the company is about to have some legal shit go down so instead their fans bunnies are focusing on having seen the girls for the first time in like fucking month and every time they look more and more miserable.

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.
