I don't think nasal is Japanese language inherent tones. You don't even need to go to Japan to know this, just watch Japanese dramas or movies. I do observe that in real life the nasal voice is the tones that seems to be purposefully used by some female employees working in Japan in the service industries like restaurants, souvenirs shops, etc. Sometimes when some girls want to appear cute (like you see in some Japanese young female idols), they use the nasal voice too but that is not necessarily their normal/usual voice. Don't blame Momo's vocal habits on Japanese language or Japanese people, there are many, many Japanese singers that don't have the habits or if they used their nose to sing used the correct techniques and sound beautiful. Either JYP doesn't train her right or the habits have just been too ingrained. She can always learn but maybe it's not her priority now.

She has every right to be angry. If you don't like her, ignore her. If you think that she is misinformed on things, then inform her with the correct information. Making up false rumors on twitter about her so you can get likes and retweets in twitter, calling her names, insulting her physiques, telling her to die, etc, are just vile behaviors. I hope K-Pop can be a good and healthy space for groups of people that happened to like K-Pop music and/or K-Pop artists/groups to gather not some vile places where degenerates behaviors get praised and encouraged. Let's just be better people.

Tiananmen has always served as a moral to learn from Implementing the new national security law in Hong Kong and banning the Tiananmen massacre vigil in the city are attempts to silence Hong Kongers, write prominent pro-democracy activists Joshua Wong and Glacier Kwong. For the past three decades, candles are being lit in Hong Kong's Victoria Park every year in memorial of those who died and suffered from the June 4 Massacre. Yet, 2020 may be the last time there are candles lit for them. Just days after China announced its decision to directly insert the national security law in Hong Kong, the city's police force rejected permission for our annual vigil to honor the victims of the Massacre. Instead of candle lights, this year, we will possibly face batons, teargas, rubber bullets and violent police officers. We were not born at the time of the Massacre, but we grew up going to Victoria Park or other places, participating in the vigils, learning about the tragedy that took place 31 years ago, where thousands of Chinese students and citizens were killed by Chinese soldiers, died for the course of freedom and democracy. Tiananmen has always served as a moral to learn from, that the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] is a brutal dictatorship that will not hesitate to kill its citizens just to remain in power. Even after 30 years, Tiananmen remains one of the most delicate topics in Chinese history and politics. Beijing put in every endeavor they are capable of to erase it from history. "June Fourth" and related words are banned behind the great fire wall, commemorations of the protests are banned, references to the event are removed from history books, former protest leaders and their families are regularly detained. Beijing rejected all calls, from within or otherwise, to acknowledge that it was morally wrong to open fire on that night and resisted demands for disclosing the actual numbers of casualties. President Xi Jinping and other top figures of the CCP have expressed no remorse about the repression, but expressed increased frustration at Hong Kong's democracy movement, exercised oppressive measures in Xinjiang and Tibet, seeing the call for fundamental human rights as threats to party control. 'We cannot voluntarily give up our freedom' Historically, Hong Kong has been a safe haven for the dissidents; we speak truth to an increasingly powerful China. The annual June Fourth vigil is of significant symbolic value; there are people who remember what happened on June 4, 1989, and there are people who are not afraid of telling the truth. Despite its peaceful nature, Beijing finds it intolerable to not have Hong Kongers under control and forget about the horrible deeds it committed 31 years ago. This year might be the last year that we get to talk about June Fourth publicly. Once the national security law is in effect, simply mentioning the event will be subject to legal prosecution. The central legislature, China's National People's Congress, hopes to dismantle any effort attempting to fight for our fundamental rights, and rip Hong Kong of its liberty and diversity, only leaving room for absolute loyalty to CCP, yet we have none to offer. On June 4, 1989, it lost all legitimacy, when they decided to violently crack down on the protesters at all cost for the sake of power. Implementing the national security law and banning the vigil are attempts to silence Hong Kongers. We expected the police to disperse any gathering that takes place on June 4. We are worried, but we cannot voluntarily give up our freedom. It might be easier if we stood by, but we will act, not only for ourselves, but also because we believe, plainly and simply, it is the right thing to do. We have the right to remember what happened 31 years ago, and if we gave it up, we will forfeit the right to remember what happened throughout the course of the last 12 months in Hong Kong. Joshua Wong is the secretary-general of Demosisto. Glacier Kwong is a digital rights and political activist in Hong Kong. (Source) Defiant Hongkongers Commemorate Tiananmen Square Massacre Despite Ban Thousands of Hong Kong protesters defied a police ban Thursday night to stage an annual vigil on the anniversary of June 4, 1989 — the date that Chinese tanks rolled into Beijing’s Tiananmen Square to crush a student-led democracy movement. For the past three decades, semiautonomous Hong Kong has been the only place on Chinese soil allowed to openly hold a mass memorial. But in an unprecedented move that spurred criticism, the government canceled this year’s event, citing the coronavirus outbreak and the need for social distancing. Just hours before activists started filtering into Victoria Park anyways, risking fines and arrest, Hong Kong’s legislature criminalized insulting China’s national anthem. Anyone found guilty of mocking the “March of the Volunteers” can face up to three years in prison and a fine of up to 50,000 Hong Kong dollars ($6,450). Opponents perceive the bill as an infringement on the city’s freedom of speech and see in its passage the further erosion of the civil liberties the set Hong Kong apart from the rest of China. Tensions are already running high after Beijing’s recent moves to tame anti-government protests that paralyzed the Chinese-ruled city for the second half of 2019. Fresh protests broke out at the end of May after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) announced plans to impose a national security law targeting acts of subversion and secession. It will most likely be wielded against anti-government protesters, but it has also raised questions over how long Beijing will be willing to tolerate dissent in the wayward enclave, including the commemoration of sensitive historic anniversaries. In Victoria Park on Thursday night, protesters made their anger and frustrations apparent as they attempted to dismantle the warren of metal barricades and police tape. Others waved the protest flag calling for the “revolution of our times.” A retired school teacher who asked to be identified only by his surname Yeung due to safety reasons called the national anthem bill “a direct restriction [of] our freedoms.” The 65-year-old says he has observed the Tiananmen anniversary every year since 1989, when he watched it happened on the television. “It’s my duty,” he says. “I have to stand up, speak out.” More than 3,000 riot officers were deployed to enforce the vigil ban, according to local media reports. Soon after people began convening in the park, a loudspeaker warned them they could face prosecution for assembling there. The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China, the group that organizes the annual vigil, called on people around the city to light a candle at 8 p.m. and to observe a moment of silence at 8:09 p.m. from any location. Lee Cheuk-yan, chair of the alliance, tells TIME he believes political motives were behind the decision to ban the event since locally transmitted coronavirus cases have dwindled. “If they are so afraid of the virus, if they think the virus is so dangerous to public health, how come they have allowed schools to open?” he says. While bars, beaches, schools and churches have been allowed to resume operations, the government on Tuesday extended a ban on gatherings of more than eight people for another two weeks. It also extended compulsory quarantine measures for residents arriving from outside Hong Kong. When police rejected an application to hold this year’s vigil, saying the event would pose a “major threat to public health,” veteran democracy campaigners were alarmed. Some took it as further evidence of Beijing imposing tighter control. “The June 4 vigil has always been a political irritant to Beijing,” says Andrew J. Nathan, a professor of political science at Columbia University, who co-edited the book The Tiananmen Papers. “Now that Beijing is intensifying control of Hong Kong, it has the opportunity to put an end to this commemoration on Chinese soil of resistance to authoritarianism.” Activists hold a candlelit vigil in Victoria Park in Hong Kong on June 4, 2020. ANTHONY WALLACE—AFP/Getty Images A symbol of Hong Kong’s autonomy Hong Kong has long been the main site to publicly commemorate the bloodshed at Tiananmen. Though the official death toll is unknown it is widely believed that hundreds if not thousands were killed. The anniversary remains a taboo subject on the mainland. An official investigation was never held, and the few who attempt to commemorate it are imprisoned. Even internet searches for any related terms—like the date it happened—are blocked by China’s censorship apparatus. But in Hong Kong, the event draws huge, somber crowds. More than 180,000 were estimated to have gathered in Victoria Park last year. Religious leaders, pro-democracy activists, witnesses and relatives of those killed typically give speeches on the hardcourt soccer field. Unlike the violent clashes between police and protesters that have flared over the last year, the vigil is known to be a peaceful event. Attendees last year stuck around after to collect the garbage and scrape up candle wax. To Hong Kong’s veteran democracy campaigners, commemorating the Tiananmen crackdown offers a way to visibly demonstrate Hong Kong’s autonomy, and prove its continued exemption from the communist government’s censorship. The former British colony was reunified with China in 1997, eight years after the Tiananmen bloodshed. But the handover treaty settling the territory’s future had already been inked long before the military crackdown. The images of soldiers suppressing a nascent democracy movement many Hongkongers had actively supported did not bode well for the city’s own aspirations of universal suffrage. “In 1989 [Hong Kongers] were traumatized by the Beijing massacre; and they cannot forget about it,” Jean-Pierre Cabestan, a political science professor at Hong Kong Baptist University, tells TIME. “The vigil has been part of the Hong Kongers DNA since then, a way to reaffirm Hong Kong identity, distinctiveness, political freedom and autonomy.” Students clean the "Pillar of Shame," a memorial for those killed in the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown, at the University of Hong Kong on June 4, 2020. Billy H.C. Kwok—Getty Images But in recent years, some younger Hong Kongers have shied away from the vigil, saying it is too focused on the past. Others split over the organizing group’s goal to build “a democratic China,” calling it not progressive enough. Many activists want greater democratic freedoms in the territory, and increasingly are calling for independence in Hong Kong as a way to express their hostility toward Beijing, even though most do not think it is feasible. But on Thursday night, the ban on the vigil and the passage of the national anthem law galvanized some young supporters to come to the park. “I came because of the recent [protest] movement,” says Rico a 22-year-old university student who gave a pseudonym. He says this is only his second vigil, after he joined an anniversary four or five years ago. “We’re gathering tonight to show people how much we don’t like the CCP and [to] remind people in the world what the CCP did 31 years ago and what China is doing to Hong Kong now,” he says. Worries for the future Many fear that the impending national security legislation will make commemorating the Tiananmen anniversary too dangerous next year. Although the law is aimed at outlawing acts like secession, subversion and terrorism, such charges are regularly used on the mainland to stifle dissent. “In future years, even if there’s no public health rationale for banning the commemoration, I anticipate that the authorities will find other justifications,” says Nathan, the professor at Columbia University. “Beijing’s new national security law for Hong Kong looks likely to provide a legal foundation for such future bans,” he says. Former Chief Executive CY Leung acknowledged in an interview last month that the annual vigil and its organizer could both fall afoul of the new national security law, depending on how the legislation is written by Beijing. Protesters in Victoria Park were not optimistic. “This is probably the last June 4 gathering that Hong Kong will have, maybe the last one ever in China,” says Rico. In Macau, the only other place within China allowed to commemorate the Tiananmen anniversary, authorities also banned this year’s vigil due to concerns over COVID-19, although there have not been any new confirmed cases in the gambling mecca for almost two months. Approval was also revoked for Macau’s annual, open-air photo exhibition on the massacre. “The problem is, like in 1989, we are facing the same brutal regime,” says Lee, the Hong Kong vigil organizer. Despite this year’s ban on the gathering, some Hongkongers still found other ways to mark the anniversary. Candles were lit in apartment windows, while smaller events, like readings and church services, were planned across the city. Jeffrey Wasserstrom, historian and author of Vigil: Hong Kong on the Brink, told TIME that it is possible to imagine a future for the city in which there are no more officially approved large-scale vigils on June 4. “If that happens, some people will surely find creative ways to keep the tradition of commemoration alive,” he says, “but in subtler ways than a big gathering at Victoria Park.” This year, even with the annual event technically banned, thousands of flickering candles once again illuminated faces young and old in Victoria Park. During the moment of mourning, they all fell silent. Vigil attendees vowed to keep up the tradition of the candlelight rally, whatever happens. “I will never forget,” says a man who identified himself as Uncle Chan, 75. “If next year we cannot come here, we can use another place to continue to remember this day.” (Source)

FYI it seems JTBC did a good coverage on the issue where they did an interview with a reporter who addresses how the majority of protestors were peaceful, the government's troubling response, 45's politicization etc (Source). So I believe there are also Koreans that are getting the right information and have the right attitude. However, I do have to agree that protestors on site need to help control other protestors to remain calm and use their angers on the right places. Because if not it would also make it easier for chaos agent to turn the peace protests into something dangerous for everyone and hurt the causes. I understand also that due to Covid-19 the economics situations might not be so good too which might become motivation to the looting. (Government and political offices are quite key to make positive long-term changes in the society. So if you could be active in your local chapters and politics, please do so. Politics might seem boring but it affect so much in the society. Elect good officials or be a good officials yourself. Observe what the politicians are doing and push them to move to the right directions. We need more good conscious educated and want and willing to be educated young people in politics. Start and go for the changes you want to see in the society.)

The end of May is marked with widespread anti-authoritarian protests in Hong Kong and in the U.S., particularly in the Twin Cities and Louisville, where two unarmed black people—George Floyd and Breonna Taylor—were murdered by white police officers. George Floyd’s murder mirrored what took place in Hong Kong just a few weeks ago: on May 10, three police officers subdued a South Asian man on the floor, and knelt on his neck. The man was unconscious and had no pulse by the time paramedics arrived. A racial minority in a largely homogenous society, the South Asian community in Hong Kong has historically been stigmatized and marginalized. Similar to the Black community in the U.S., South Asians in Hong Kong also frequently encounter racial profiling intense policing in their everyday life. Embed from Getty Images While Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck, was arrested four days after the incident amidst widespread protest, the Hong Kong officers in question were never sanctioned. Without conducting any further investigation, the Hong Kong Police Commissioner cleared the officers of any wrongdoing. This case in Hong Kong was one of many examples of police violence that has gone unchecked, especially during the Anti-Extradition Movement. To add fuel to fire, earlier in May, tasked with investigating complaints of police violence and the excessive use of force during the Anti-extradition Movement, Hong Kong’s Independent Police Complaints Council released a 999-page report that mostly exonerates the Police Force of wrongdoing, partly by shifting blame to protesters. Anthony Neoh. Photo: RTHK Screenshot / StudioIncendo. As protesters in Hong Kong continue to confront governmental suppression and police violence, at times calling for the entire police force to be disbanded (解散警隊), activists across major cities in the U.S. are calling for justice against systemic racial violence committed by the police against the Black community. Reminiscent of what has been occurring in Hong Kong since last June, Minneapolis police, donning anti-riot gear, has been firing hundreds of teargas canisters and rubber bullets to disperse protesters. On social media, journalists and activists have begun to draw parallels between the protests in Hong Kong and in Minneapolis. Hong Kong democratic lawmaker Lo Kin-Hei re-tweeted the arrest of Black CNN correspondent Omar Jimenez in Minneapolis, opining: “Seems like Minneapolis police doesn’t want Hong Kong police to outshine them.” While Beijing and the Hong Kong government have repeatedly labelled protesters as rioters to discredit the movement, similar rhetorical strategies are now being used by conservative news media and the U.S. government to justify the use of state violence, including military suppression, to end the protests triggered by George Floyd’s murder. New York-based Hong Kong writer Wilfred Chan likened the White House’s threat to mobilize the military to shoot Minneapolis protesters to the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre in China, in which the Chinese Communist Party deployed hundreds of thousands of troops to suppress the student-led protest, killing hundreds, perhaps thousands.

This year, Hong Kong’s June 4th Museum has put together an exhibit that illuminates the connections between the Tiananmen student protest and the current Anti-Extradition Movement. Echoing the more militant camp of protesters in Hong Kong, Black U.S. writer Rafi D’Angelo rebukes criticism against the Minneapolis protesters, “People are ANGRY. They have a right to be angry.” Rather than villainizing protesters for causing property damage to large corporations, D’Angelo asked the public to interrogate the root causes of the protesters’ anger, and to actively work on improving the sociopolitical conditions for marginalized people. Instead of fighting against the protesters whose lives have been endangered by state power, D’Angelo urged the public to “fight for all those things that would make rioting less likely.” While D’Angelo was writing about racial injustice and police brutality in the U.S., his words mirror the sentiments of many pro-democracy Hong Kong activists and protesters who have, in frustration, anger, and defiance, vandalized storefronts owned by corporations that support Beijing. Embed from Getty Images Given the many similarities between the Hong Kong Anti-Extradition Movement and the U.S.’s George Floyd protest, activists in the U.S. have been drawing on tactics and slogans deployed by Hong Kong protesters during the Anti-Extradition Movement. Minneapolis protesters have been chanting “Be Water.” Meanwhile, activists from Hong Kong and the U.S. are now sharing on Twitter footage of Hong Kong protesters putting out teargas with traffic cones on Twitter, alongside guerilla tactics and legal advice that have been proven effective during Hong Kong’s almost year-long protests. Activists from Hong Kong and the U.S. have been tweeting slogans and graffiti from the Anti-Extradition Movement that resonated with the Minneapolis George Floyd protest. The scrawl left by Hong Kong protesters in the Legislative Council on July 1, 2019 rings particularly true to both movements: “It was you who taught me that peaceful marches are useless.” These connections illustrate the coalitional potential between Hong Kong protesters and Black activists in the U.S. as they both embody non-hierarchical grassroots organizing against state violence and oppression. While these two social movements stem from distinct cultural and historical contexts and unique circumstances of oppression, they coalesce through their shared resistance against police brutality and unchecked authority to yield force as sanctioned by the state. By cultivating transnational solidarity with one another, these grassroots movement can become more powerful and sustainable in the face of overwhelming state power. As Hongkongers tweet, chant, and urge others to “Stand with Hong Kong,” we must also stand in solidarity those protesting in Minneapolis, and all others who share the same struggle against state violence—only then can we co-create an equitable and humanist collective political future.

CJ E&M did attempt to buy the 51% that Han Sung-Soo owned but the deal fell through (with no follow-through news from CJ E&M due to it) and now HSS sold his shares to Big Hit instead (I assumed in addition to monetary benefits it is also for an executive position in Big Hit and a portion of Big Hit's shares when they go public). The 49% is last reported to still be owned by So-net (a subsidiary of Sony). *a bit of correction: when announcing their plan to acquire majority of Pledis, CJ said it planned to buy some from HSS and some from So-net to make them a majority in Pledis (>50%), so here I am not sure whether Big Hit gained majority in Pledis solely from HSS's shares or they also got some from So-net.

I think the main issue here is toxic masculinity/patriachy society. It leads to sexism in male and internalized misogny in female as well as lead society to play down the mischief that male figures in the society did as 'boys will be boys' while putting higher and stricter standards to female. That's why it is important to push for more gender equality in the society, so that we don't overreact over female controversies nor we underreact over male controversies.

I am loving the outfits for I'm in Trouble, and Back to Me is a good choice for the accompanying track, although I have to admit I am curious about Moon Dance, Fireworks and Shooting Stars performances too (because Must have already been performed in the comeback show).

So cute and refreshing. Thank you 1theK for inviting NU'EST in the gapcrush segment. Please invite them again.

I love the settings and the casual styles.

I wonder what it is NU'EST trying to say from the hand gestures in Back to Me? The white suit in I'm in Trouble is perfecto. No comments on JR's clothes in Back to Me. Wonderful performances as always.

Translation from Pann-Choa [enter-talk] NU'EST'S PART DISTRIBUTIONS IS F*CKING EBA;;; T/n: eba = oba = over the top It's a perfect pizza ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ post response: [+790][-35] original post: here 1. [+292, -5] Yah... this part distribution is freaking awesome. This is the best one so far... daebak 2. [+248, -16] I've always thought about this but Kang Dongho has way more skills than I thought. When he's composing, he must be thinking "other members would look cooler when doing this part, this member has the looks to pull this part off, that member can improve if he does that part, I can do this part better, etc.". He doesn't leave out any member and is able to showcase each member's charms even better. His mind while composing is so pretty. Then when he's recording, he is able to extract the member's skills naturally and the way he's taking the lead is so warm which is unexpected. The members also are always praising him for this talent. He definitely knows the responsibilities of a composer and is even doing more than expected. I'm always on the look out every comeback since there's always a new member that shows his improvement... It seems like they really learned to rely and respect each other during the time spent together, and the members seem to know their role in the group well too... I'm not sure if you can tell by just looking at the part distribution but I've always felt like that... I just randomly felt thankful towards him... 3. [+232, 23] Looks like there's no untalented kid there... I'm jealous 4. [+90, -6] I'm f*cking jealous 5. [+82, -1] There are a lot of cases where the member who composes isn't even the main vocal but would take all the parts... ha... Even though it can't be helped since they are the composers but... I don't know if that's also what the Nu'est fans think... seriously, Kang Dongho does all the composing and he's also the main vocal but I'm impressed at how selfless he is when it comes to distributing parts... it's not something you see often... the more I think about this, the more impressive he looks the me...

I love it. The choreography is marvelous too. I like that they have always been pushing the boundaries of their arts instead of being boxed into certain types. I hope they can continue to progress like this. The whole album is also a perfect package of "nocturnes" with various colors unlike the commonly known "nocturnes". Kinda reflecting how "night" is these day which is full of life and bright lights unlike how it is in the past.

Translation from Story Kpop [PANN] Knetz talks about how fair NU'EST Part distribution for the new comeback 'I'm in trouble'! It's really like Pizza ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Netizen comments : (+147,-3) Hey.. this is the best part distribution ever.... That's amazing. (+116,-10) I don't think there's a bad guy over there. I envy you. (+87,-1) I always feel that Kang Dongho is more capable than I thought it would be cool if the members sing this part like this, this friend is an advantage, this friend can develop like this, and they can do this well, and so on. When he writes songs, I think that he thinks a lot about it, and as the composer's mind that tries to show everyone's charm is so pretty and when he records, I'm always amazed by his efforts. I'm amazed at the members who are growing up with each album. As we spent a long time together, I think we can respect each other more, acknowledge each other, and be considerate of each other. I don't know what you're talking about with the part distribution, but I always feel like this. in a flash of gratitude. (+73,-3) So envy.. (+41,-1) Is it a Dongho machine? I love Kang Dongho who always recognizes, considers, and makes the members shine. And I love the members who do more than I expected when he give them parts.
