fans love saying "they would if they could" but clearly, as shown by yeri and that day6 guy... they can. makes me side eye some idols, especially ones that grew up in the west or take a special interest in black culture/hiphop.

is yeri the only sm artist who's posted about it so far? that's a little disappointing given how closely they work with black producers/writers/choreographers/people in general tbh.

thought that was a police uniform at first.... i was like jaehyun sis please read the room

nothing in particular, just the way they always stuck together in their own lil clique and had an attitude with the other members like the sassy dramatic bitches they were. it was funny asf.

ironic seeing armys defend him with their cult-like devotion over sampling an actual cult leader (and mass murderer)

they don't have to speak on anything, but do i think they (as well as other kpop groups including my own faves) are culture vultures for profiting off of the trends, aesthetics, ideas and culture of black americans without giving anything back to the community that they're stealing from? oh absolutely.

only to then leave a year later himself lmaoo!! tao was the BIGGEST drama queen him and sehun were like a duo straight out of mean girls and it was so fucking funny also the way literally no one in the group even remotely respected suho as a leader??? now that's comedy. give me more of that please.

holy shit that's so fucking lame. i really thought we'd moved past this in 2018. it's like people are addicted to painting these overarching narratives about mark being a homophobic conservative based on absolutely nothing - not one single piece of evidence expect for his faith. mark is probably the most (and i hate using that word but for the sake of argument) unproblematic idol i know. he literally just minds his own business and gets along with everyone. i'd kiiiiind of see where this concern was coming from if mark gave a bible to jeno, aka the only nct member who seems to have a rocky relationship with religion and has explicitly distanced himself from it, but HAECHAN IS LITERALLY CHRISTIAN TOO??? next level projecting happening right there.

binnie is one of the most popular members of omg

i get it's important to warn people about this (turn off autoplay if you want a safer, better twitter experience) but making this a hashtag and trending it is only gonna incite even more of these trolls. by giving them the attention they're looking for we're essentially empowering them and encouraging other edgelords to join in.

i think it adds flavor! it's part of what drew me to exo when they first debuted. the cliquiness and cattiness that ot12 had was so fucking hilarious to me. there was just something so thrilling about seeing them repress the urge to start fighting in the middle of a concert or seeing them revert to their natural cliques on exo showtime. same for snsd during their peak. the drama, the emotions, the intense and riveting storyline that unfolded before our eyes - what a time to be a kpop fan! kind of tired of this "kumbaya we are a family soulmates 4ever" shite that groups are pushing. it's just not entertaining compared to groups who hate each other on the low.

groups who have internal drama, beef and cliques >>>>>> (rv not included cause they manage to slay despite loving each other)

i don't see it. to me she looks basically identical to how she looked during sixteen, just a bit more mature. 2015 during the filming of sixteen 2019 her eyelids also don't have that singular hard crease that's usually the outcome of ps, but rather a lot of natural and uneven folds that disappear when she closes her eyes (with no visible scarring).

i think you guys are right. i thought she'd gotten rid of her bump but it's still there in recent pics, just less prominent (so probably fillers if anything).

personally i'd say they're all straight except for jeno. there's not a lot of "proof" for him but i think that's very much intentional on his part. iirc he grew up in quite a conservative catholic household and that seems to have affected his ability to be himself. i don't think he's quite accepted it yet, and i definitely don't think he's out to anyone, including the dreamies.

momo - she had her eyes done twice (heh) first predebut and then got them deepened like 2 years ago, nosejob, teeth laminated sana - eyes, nose, and i think she's had lingual braces to make her overbite less prominent nayeon - nose, jaw shave and lots of fillers i think chaeyoung, mina, tzuyu and dahyun are natural (maybe some fillers here and there but nothing invasive) and idk about jeongyeon and jihyo.

all nctzens believe their bias is being bullied. it's like part of the fandom culture to make up a victim narrative around your favorite boy. you know just akgae tings. that being said, haechan's been on the receiving end of a lot of colorist remarks since debut and i think his fans (especially ifans) have had enough by now. previously fans would kinda just brush it off as nothing, but starting this year i've seen nctzens being a lot more willing to call that shit out when it happens, which is a good thing imo.

the fact that she upstaged onf in their own performance

juyeon and haknyeon are both in my question mark category, since they could definitely be straight, but also just as easily be gay/bi (actually juyeon also gives me asexual vibes for whatever reason, which is ironic considering he's the biggest thirst trap in the group) the rest though?? flaming homosexuals no question about it

"it doesn't" is the real answer tbh

straight men fetishize lesbians all the time tbh so i don't see this as a receipt. if he was a female idol it'd be a different story.

who is even straight in the boyz??? sangyeon hyunjae & sunwoo all seem pretty hetero to me but literally everyone else is sus. that's a crazy ratio.

rv's influence

i can't tell if you're serious but yeah she's had one of the most obvious (but gorgeous) nosejobs among 3rd gen ggs i think she might've done her eyes too + lip fillers more recently i can't tell any real difference between these 2 pics, weight gain aside. looking at his predebut pics i think he's just always had a very exaggerated vline.
