  1. No I am not saying they're faking the survey, but they're obviously not the respected brand-name Gallup TM either. So I'm going to take the results with a pinch of salt, taking them to be about as trustworthy as the "National Producers" chosen Produce groups.
  2. Quite possible? One of my friends said DIA...
  3. I'll miss Woojin's romantic voice, but Wonho was MX's stan-attractor.
  4. M version better than K and Eng version? Lucas and Ten have huge fandoms too?
  5. I'm afraid but also excited. Hope it is not my Unnies/Oppas anymore. (Woojin from SKZ was a fave and I am still so smad about his leave!) The wave's hit Cube, SME, YGE, JYPE, Starship, FNC, CJ. So which company is left? Fantagio?
  6. Maybe Koreans and Chinese have different languages? And maybe different music preferences for this time of the year?
  7. I don't want to have fattened wallets of kpop's Woody Allen/Roman Polanski types, so yes please. Set fire to the trash HSH+Dispatch collab, even if it breaks my heart in the short-term.
  8. He is gorgeous, no doubt! He is a bit tan though? I like his skin-colur.
  9. 2. [+2,496, -53] My choding kid is a Monsta X fan... I have no idea how they're going to understand all these scandals from larceny, an affair, to juvie... and how will I explain all that to them... Idols are supposed to literally be idols to our young children... please focus on building your character as trainees!! Well, how about you let idols be just that - human musicians and celebrities?! Become the 'idol' for your own kids and teach them that a total stranger could be just as bad or good as any random person on the street! I feel terrible for Wonho (whom I like best in MX) and BI losing their groups (not careers yet hopefully) but on the other hand I like that this year is kind of a spring-cleaning in Kpop. Too many of us (as a Cassie I had my eyes opened to the grime in idols and fandoms early) basically worship idols as if they're pure unicorns who can do no wrong, and especially for very young fans (and their parents) I hope this entire year's events have been a lesson to never be blinded by the showlights.
  10. My comment was sarcastic (since I liked Yoon SeoBin and SKZ Woojin from JYPE), but I agree with you on the main thrust of your argument. The past year has been terrible, much worse than 2014 - but HSH and the rumours did help a lot of deluded young fans get a look at the dirty underbelly of Kpop business. I concur with you that a lot of the trouble these guys are in is basically 'Cher chez la femme' cases that is, lust for women's acquiescence. But I feel that there's a deeper motivation to what's happening. If we acknowledge the rape-molka Jung JoonYoung led gang, what these guys are looking at is not validation via female conquest (if so then they're idols worshipped by thousands of fangirls, and their prowling would have been within fan-groups) but rather 'Beta Males' trying to gain acceptance or respect from emulating (even if distortedly) the 'Alpha Males'/Chad stereotype's success in headcount. They're competing with and collaborating with other men to hunt, taking on the women who're associated with their betters (eg. TOP to BI for HSH) or those they consider Stacy (who they drug and abuse). What is at play is masculine posturing i.e. homosocial exchange among men who're insecure and consider themselves inferior, in showing off acts of power over the bodies of women because they cannot directly challenge Alphas/are terrified of falling into lower ranks in masc-social hierarchy.
  11. This page http://www.gallup-international.com/members_partners/gallup-korea/ says US Gallup is not affiliated to Gallup International - "Disclaimer: Gallup International Association and its members are not related to Gallup Inc., headquartered in Washington D.C., which is no longer a member of Gallup International Association. Gallup International Association does not accept responsibility for opinion polling other than its own. We require that our surveys be credited fully as Gallup International (not Gallup or Gallup Poll). For further details see our website: www.gallup-international.com." I'm still suspicious. Was it the same bunch of people surveyed? Was per year's sampling random from the population? Also, I still feel the sampling size should be larger. Anyway, congratulations to the ones who get into the lists.
  12. 2019 and Han SoHee are both scything through our oppas. (Gods you guys really don't get dark humour!)
  13. Wasn't this Gallup the one not actually affiliated to original Gallup or something? Can this be trusted? Are the same people surveyed for five years or is it random sampling? The sample size is too small too!
  14. What do people want to do with these things? Clone these celebrities?!
  15. This is such a mess. JDE being with HSH makes the accusations suspect though. We have phone messages, but nothing which is actual proof of Wonho's supposed criminal acts. Juvenile records are sealed specifically because those are kids who shouldn't have their dumb mistakes following them for life!
  16. Oh, thank you for explaining. I'm not coming for you by-the-way. I think that coming from a different culture and gender to idols (them being Korean/Chinese/Japanese), what I read into behaviours of other people - even if I recognise something as not-straight - may not be the correct interpretation. We're just discussing from our perspectives, right? I actually do think Hendery and XiaoJun's admiration of Ten does link into what makes them suspect - desire to emulate or meet a flamboyant or gay-coded entertainment figure has yet been seen as a sign in youth towards expressing their own queer identities by proxy, whether consciously or unknowingly. Kun, I do think is similar to Lucas - either an ally or curious. Yes, I agree WayV do seem very at peace with each. Would you elaborate on how you read the interactions and relationships in 127 and Dream? Especially Dream please?
  17. Who sane, right? Have you seen these vids? (I miss Sehun and Tao interactions so much when I look at WayV vids though) What are people's opinions on Mino basically getting a tramp-stamp? What's the read on him? [I wish search function was back so I could sift through this thread.]
  18. Please explain a bit? This is such a different reading to mine, I'm very intrigued. I agree half - with Winwin being secure in his masculinity, and with Lucas being down-for-it if there's a chance. YY is very straight obviously. What do people think of Lucas' interactions with Jungwoo and later with XiaoJun?
  19. Thank you! If this is true and JDE has proofs then Wonho should just ASAP pay up.
  20. Okay, so where's the actual translation of the messages? Without reading that, I can't make any comment.
