Uh I wouldn't be sure that's how it works, maybe groups from big companies have a contract to go live at least every X days but I doubt it, generally speaking it's the companies that push for idols doing the lives because it's cheap fan content ? And for some groups it's super irregular so they probably only do lives when they feel like it and have time for it ? BTS for example goes on vlive a lot when they're touring, but when they're in Korea and busy it's a super rare occurence (and you know they're bored a f right now because they do a ton of lives).

[knetizen] BTS Jungkook’s song video has just been uploaded
reiichi replied to nefhilim's topic in Netizen Nation
I love to watch Jungkook sing, because you can see he pours his whole heart into it. He's a singer with a deep love for his craft. -
So Blinks can't be anxious that the girls are going to lose relevance because of their lack of online presence ? If all the members did the same as Lisa - a cover or vlog from time to time - the fandom would have more occasions to grow. With so little content any kpop group would have faded into obscurity. Blackpink are still talked about because they have the YGE machine behind them, but for how long ?

Imagine not understanding that people can be little shits in middle school, and regret it later. I'm not Taeyong biased but I'm a firm believer in second chances, especially when it comes to immature teens doing terrible things. And I find people who admit to their own mistakes much more relatable than the ones who have always been pure and perfect. Taeyong is not the one who's at fault here, it's the delusional fans that refuse to see his imperfections and are convinced that his victim is a liar.

MNET's Road To Kingdom said to have included elimination
reiichi replied to speedthief's topic in Celebrity News & Gossip
In Queendom for each preliminary round it was : - fans at the recording (who had to vote for two performances) - a special panel that varied from mission to mission (for example, on the first round it was trainees) - the groups themselves (each voting for their favorite and least favorite performance) The finale was live and had text votes, and digital charts performance of their finale song (released a week prior) also counted. For RdK the preliminary rounds can't have a live audience, but fanclub members can apply to see the performances online and vote. -
Thing is, everyone in the entertainment industry was doing the same thing as she did - double contracts that allowed them to evade taxes as long as nobody got their hands on the real ones. FBB was the one who got denounced publicly for it (as a form of personal vendetta, not pureness of heart), but it was an industry-wide practice, and the reason why FBB was struck so severely was because the government wanted to show to other celebrities they better stop their tax evasion schemes, or the same could happen to them. She was a scapegoat. She didn't destroy her own career, the person who denounced her did.

Which male idols do you think are gay?
reiichi replied to cold soba's topic in Celebrity News & Gossip
I'm not talking about a job that just pays the bills, but a job you're really invested in and genuinely like. It's actually much worse when you like your job, because you're a lot more conflicted about not doing it well, and will take everything that happens with it much more personally than if it's "just a job". -

Do they really know what they get into though, or how they're going to deal with it ? Most idols debut when just teenagers, or barely adults. Even as an adult it's hard to measure the impact of something on you, before you're subjected to it. Even if you like your job there's always going to be a part you end up not really liking, but you pull through because you like the rest. Initially it doesn't really matter if you have to do these things, but over time, frustration can accumulate and it affects you more than you thought it would. I spent about eight years at my previous job ; I didn't get along too well with my manager, but for a long time it wasn't too bad, because the job itself was very interesting and we didn't spend that much time in each other's presence. But the last couple of years we were in the same office, and the tension between us rose gradually, to the point of becoming unbearable. We often clashed, I stressed a lot, and I was planning to resign when I got fired because of it. -
No she ended up paying a big fine and was able to go free. Her career was still mostly destroyed, so now Chinese stars are a bit more careful with paying their taxes (scaring the entertainment industry was the goal of the government, it wasn't really useful to keep her in jail after they got the message across).

The UN has a pretty well defined purpose - prevent another world war. And it's been pretty successful in that mission. Diplomacy is an entirely political game, you can't do it without politics. The fact that the WHO is an emanation of the UN is a problem though, because to do its work properly it shouldn't depend on international diplomacy. It should be completely neutral.

You don't need to be a staff at an agency to know flight information, you just need to work at the right airline company or the airport. -
Because raising a child takes a lot longer than that. Once their service is done Korean men can resume their life as it was before, but having a kid isn't a one time thing, it's a lifelong commitment. Being an active idol and raising a child aren't really compatible activities. Idol is a very demanding job, so keeping it while having children means your spouse will have to take care of them most of the time. Of course with how sexist Korea is, it's generally not the father who's going to sacrifice his career so his wife can keep doing her job.

It's a bit too soon to judge how ex-Wanna One members are doing, they only re-debuted last year and it generally takes a couple of years to actually see whether rookies have found their public or not. And er, Soyeon exists.

Trust me the moving isn't the worst (frankly it's not uncomfortable to begin with), it's the weight and the perpetual tiredness. On the plus side pregnancy hormones make you pretty relaxed overall, I slept like a baby throughout my two pregnancies and since there were problem-less I was actually less stressed than normal. I felt tired, but really happy.

Connections with the right people and that's kinda it. Korea is estimated to be at about the same level of corruption as Italy (and the southern half of Italy is basically run by the mafia rather than the government). A lot of government officials are corrupt, and a ton of people who have access to sensitive information will sell it for profit, because there's basically no big repercussion for it. Through my job I have access to the personal information of about one million people. This includes their adresses, personal phone numbers, SSN, bank accounts, and a ton of medical history - I work in a health insurance company, and I have access to all of the company's data as a part of my job. It would just take a person who doesn't give a shit about ethics to leak all of this information, and frankly we are lucky that most people who could do this kind of thing and know they could get away with it, just won't. Developers can have access to a lot of sensitive data, know exactly where the company they work for has put security measures, and if they can't get around them... at some point there will always be someone who forgets to lock their computer when they go to the bathroom, so someone else takes the blame for what they do.

No he didn't, the CEOs did. He still was part of the board of directors because the previous CEOs respected him as the founder, and they listened to his opinions, but they didn't necessarily agree with thim, and most probably made decisions he completely opposed (like the way they handled the HyunDawn situation, the way the company flip-flopped about it seriously looked like there was infighting).
