cheating is a form of abuse in my opinion? the amount of trust you break and the psychological effects it has on the person cheated on - cheating is always a conscious choice
breaking up is normal and is the respectable thing to do if you are in a relationship you cannot commit to, this is a non issue
but cheating and/or using partners (whether it be for sex or physical objects) says a lot about a person’s character and this is why it always causes a scandal when idols are revealed to have done so

i cant believe the art/graphic team at sm continue to do this when they know they'll be called out on it
its almost as though they enjoy the drama and free promo it stirs up -
He’s using rich fans for money and gifts? lmaooo

in terms of Korea and Korean celebrities, it's very well known that Korean men often don't wear condoms

I do not understand companies who debut these groups when they KNOW they don't have enough money to promote them well or look after them
literally just playing with the girls' lives-

sounds like aibeu in korean
but as for i've this is the worst name ever because for international fans it'll be completely unsearchable - type i've into google or youtube and millions of things will come up, group names need to be unique-

But isn't supposed to be an unit with totally new members chosen by an audition program or something like that?
read the thread bestie
SM has confirmed only 1 winner of the show, only 1 person joining -

I doubt it will be only one winner. I think at least there should be 3 winners. Its not like the NCT brand is highly coveted or well-known among the general public in America for them to only find 1 winner. Although this show has a very well-known producer, TV network and no doubt big money investment behind it but this is not The Voice, X Factor, or American idol. People would think "oh only one winner?!!" just to be in a new show for a group that not many knew about. One winner thing would fit the premise of a show that's trying to find the next soloist like those shows I mentioned but imagine thousands of people trying out and yet only one winner will be picked just to be in a multiple member group based in Asia whose future is uncertain. They should make it like maybe 1 official winner and the other two will be picked from the other top 5 finalists.
I don't know how different this will be from SuperM except all the members might be able to speak English but they'd need to get guys from different races and ethnicities if they wanna make the group work in the West. Instead of making a predominantly Asian group, at least imo they need members from different races e.g. one white guy, one Black guy and one Hispanic/Latin guy. Otherwise, it will be not that much different from SuperM although ngl most of SuperM's failures were due to SM's/Capitol's cringey concepts and song choices (What went on in their minds?) more so than the fact most of the members couldn't speak English well.
I can't vouch how successful this will be but SM should realise their past mistakes with SuperM and hire a promotion and market research teams (full of Americans) if they're serious about wanting to do well in West. Otherwise, I can only see this be a repeat of SuperM if they let that cringey boomer LSM, who thought Jopping was cool, have the upper hand in all the final decision-making.
"K-pop boyband NCT are set to choose their next member through an upcoming TV series."
"The competition will pit 21 contestants against each other for a chance to join a new NCT subunit called NCT Hollywood."
- NME Official Article
During SM congress the subtitles said the show will find a member (singular) to join the nct Hollywood team, have lsm as a producer, and engage in nct activities in the US.
What fans are currently discussing on reddit about SM congress on reddit -
"If the subtitles are correct, to me, that sounds like they already have a lineup for NCT-H with current members and are just looking for someone who won't need a lot of training to join. The Show will act as promo for the unit prior to their official debut."
Here's an interesting TikTok about the matter too.
Theres seriously not going to be an NCT Hollywood unit, this is SM looking for another Mark Lee, someone they can slot right in and can connect with international fans with minimal training while creating a show that will undoubtedly give the unit a LOT of promotion before they debut, something that SuperM didn't have.
My guess for the lineup is Mark, Ten, Yang Yang, winner of NCT Hollywood show, Johnny, a hidden SM trainee or two and POSSIBLY Shotaro and Sungchan cuz idk what the heck else they doing with them

1.Hu Yetao mentioned in the interview that he encountered many difficulties in Chuang, but he was still very happy because he met someone he liked.
2.Oscar supported gender freedom in other interviews.
"I hope everyone can be with the people they love. It's not about gender, it's not about anything. "
3.In his letter to Hu Yetao in Chuang, Oscar said: "Even if one day the world abandons you, I will stand behind you and support you. It doesn't matter whether you have long hair or not, because you are the only you in the world. "
4.Other Chuang's players often cue both of them in the live broadcast . For too many times, just give a simple example:
Zhang Xinrao: Hu Yetao hesitates when he (Oscar) is mentioned.5.In the program, Hu Yetao asked Oscar to tattoo a butterfly on his body. After the game, he really tattooed a butterfly on his body
6.The two went to buy perfume and see the concert. Encountered by fans.
There are many, many, including dyeing nails with each other's name, some live conversations, hugging in the finals…
PS:I'm sorry that there may be some grammar problems and translation errors.
ahh omg thank you for all of the details, it is so hard to find information about them now than Chuang has ended, most of the fans who translated the content into english have now moved onto other survival shows
about his butterfly tattoo, we just found out about that today! i completely forgot yetao asked him to get it!!!
I saw the thing he said about gender, it made me so happy, this is why i am a fan of him, I love the way he thinks and I love that he isn't afraid to paint his nails and defy gender stereotypes. Bisexual/pansexual king
i'm so happy to hear that him and Yetao are still close and are still going on outings together, if they are dating, I hope they can be happy for a long time
as for Junhui, I agree with the others that he has always seemed interested in boys more than girls to me, but I would like to hear why you don't think so, because I don't speak Mandarin and don't know Chinese culture so well, i might not be getting the full picture -

they need english speakers on that unit or it is going to become a superm 2.0 which only 1 or 2 members used to speak on interviews
I honestly don't know how SM thought that was gonna work - they put together the idols who are most popular in Korea and some of the noisiest kpop title tracks I've heard, one being called JOPPING and thought "yep, looks great, will dominate the american market for sure"-

I thought I heard SM has been planning a new NCT subunit to be unveiled this year? I didn't think it was gonna be NCT Hollywood, it thought it's gonna be a different unit. The NCT Hollywood thing might take some time to form since they haven't had auditions nor aired the reality survival show yet. So probably debut next year depending on whenever after the show finished airing.
I won't be surprised if SM add Mark too as they usually do especially for any NCT-related NA promotion/activities. He's like SM's fave go-to guy since he's the best rapper, can speak English and is from Canada.
I don't think NCT Hollywood will be a fully fledged unit, especially as from all the official reports about the show, it's about finding 1 winner. I think the new NCT Unit will be the NCIT international unit, with the new winner plus familiar NCT/WayV members and possibly a SM Trainee or 2.
I definitely think Mark will be in the unit, Johnny is the only one im ??? on, unless they are going to have 2 or 3 US members, which would actually make sense.
I don't think the survival show will be end up with a whole new NCT Hollywood unit like most people think-

Ten and Yang Yang recently made their debut as a unit with an english language song called 'Low Low' this comes just a week after Ten's solo comeback 'Paint Me Naked' which is again, another english language track.
NCT 127 are slated for an album comeback this September, NCT Dream recently had their successful summer comeback and NCT U released a song called 'Maniac' These cover all of the main current NCT units, despite this there is confirmation of even more NCT branded projects coming including members talking about a mysterious 'NCIT.'
Fans think this unit could be preparation/promo for NCT Hollywood which seems to be coming very soon (possibly this nov/oct)
Jeff Benjamin tweeted 'new wayv unit' but with a winky face, quite sus
Here is my current thinking about the NCT Hollywood unit, there is no doubt it'll be a US/Western focused group and I believe the majority (if not all) of the members will be English speaking... but do I think it'll be a group of 5 white boys SM has picked off the street? no
I think it's going to be an 'International' group i.e one (possibly 2) member/s from each country who will represent that country, the NCT Hollywood show will be about finding the US member (Johnny is right there tho, this might be the one flaw in my logic)
I think SM has learned from SuperM not quite hitting the mark in the US and has changed their strategy for creating a US targeted group and this sudden Ten and Yang Yang unit has kinda confirmed to me that they'll be in it
Instead of the plans SM had before of creating worldwide NCT units (NCT Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Europe) etc. They might debut a group which has a member from each of these places.
What do you guys think? -

I want to know about jun.Because some clues are normal to the Chinese,Just cultural differences.
caí xukun and Wang yibo are straight.
Oscar and Hu yetao are lover.
Some idols from SNH48 have come out of the closest, but that's another topic.
Helloo, i'm an Oscar fan - i thought this during the time Chuang was airing too, both of them had such a cute relationship
but I haven't seen anything about their relationship after the show (except for them meeting up once and mentioning the other very occasionally)
So i started to think that it was just a CP they tried to promote in order to raise their popularity, especially because I think Oscar really values Yetao and his talents (which many people didn't see) so wanted to help him rise up the ranks.
How are you sure they are lovers? was there something I missed lol -
I usually find them endearing, and at least enerzetic you can tell the original word and red velvet’s lookie lookie kind of even makes sense
the only one that’s really annoyed me is the new The Boyz song Thrill Ride - it sounds nothing like Thrill, I thought they were saying Shiver Ride lmaoo

I've been watching a Netflix series called '13 Reasons Why' (people may or may not have heard of it); one of the central plotlines is a male student raping his best friend's girlfriend. Having watched this, I find the second worst kind of criminal in the world with no chance of redemption has to be a rapist.. For me, rape itself is forcefully stealing someone's intimacy, therefore a part of their soul, for their own entertainment. The act of it is just repulsive, inhumane and so violent that it's borne out of monstrosity, that I think it's impossible that any person can be capable of such monstrous act. I sincerely hope that Kris Wu gets all that he deserves; every second of every minute of every day for the rest of his life. It isn't even a petty-something, like smoking weed or marijuana, this is just god-awful. If I were his fan, I would be disgusted and ashamed that I'd ever thought of liking the guy. He has brought eternal shame to his family and friends, to his company, to his country. I mean, this guy was an idol and to turn out that people have given the spotlight to this beast gives me gooseflesh.
You described this so perfectly, i completely agree with you -
KATUSA is considered the most desired branch of service for Korean soldiers.
DAY6‘s Young K announced that he will enlist on October 12 into the KATUSA branch of the Republic Of Korea (ROK) Army, becoming the first K-Pop idol to be accepted into the program. This is a highly sought-after, low-acceptance branch of the Army.
KATUSA, which stands for Korean Augmentation To the United States Army, started in 1950 following the beginning of the Korean war. Its purpose was support the US forces during the war, and since the 1953 armistice, it functions to the benefit of both the US Army and ROK Army. KATUSA members serve as support to the US Army forces as well as translators between Americans and the Korean public. Beyond the military, however, many KATUSA and US Army soldiers have shared that the cultural exchange and learning opportunities make the experience unique.
Those who wish to join are required to take and pass one of eight standardized English tests. Two of the most common tests are TOEFL, with a passing score of 83, and TOEIC, with a passing score of 780. For Young K, he received a TOEFL score of 116 and a TOEIC score of 970. But even once they receive their passing score, their acceptance is not guaranteed; KATUSA relies on a lottery system to choose from the pool of qualified volunteers. According to The Korea Times, out of 16,760 applicants in 2020, only 1,600 were accepted. Their acceptance rate will continue to decline in future years as more US Army forces move out of South Korea.
However, despite the highly competitive process to get into KATUSA, it remains “the most enviable” post for Koreans entering the military. This is due to the comparatively better treatment soldiers can receive through working with US Army units - compared with the ROK Army, and that junior enlisted personnel receive better treatment, have more educational opportunities (especially with regards to learning English), experience a higher standard of living, and have an overall better quality of life than their ROK counterparts.
"The popularity of joining KATUSA derives from the fact that they can receive better treatment, including meals, compared to regular South Korean military units. These perks include the freedom to leave military posts on weekdays with relative ease, and a comparably less hierarchical relationship with supervisors."
— Bak Se Hwan, The Korea Herald
Young K is the first idol to be accepted into the highly desired KATUSA branch thanks to both his impressive fluency in English and just a touch of good luck. He’ll begin his military service in October following the release of a solo album.
