That’s gotta be embarrassing as fuck. I know idols get shit for not sounding exactly like they do on the actual song, but then at least practice good lip-syncing.

That’s odd. Their talents are fleeing the coop. What happened? I wonder if BP will remain with them next year.

Fortunately, people are able to focus on more than one thing, so people can call out the plagiarism, stand up for BAP, and criticize shady practices.

I have no issue if anyone in Kpop wants to buy their songs from someone else, or collab with a thousand people for one song. I’m not on the “music is only art or pure” if it comes from the mind of one singular person band. Just to clarify because I have no idea where that whole tangent came from. My issue is on calling a song self-composed, which again, by definition asserts that it’s a one man job, which is not the case here. They deserve credits for the part they did create of course, but so do everyone else. And still, if the other collaborators sell their works’ rights to the artist in question, which they’re entitled to, said artist then going on to claim they worked on the whole thing because they bought it is absolutely disingenuous. And just to clarify on that last point: I am not specifically talking about this dude here. And yeah, the issue at hand is that the thing is stolen, which makes the whole situation crummier, and paints this guy as shady at worst and willfully ignorant at best as he did not do his due diligence to make sure everything was legit. @Sweetberry brings up a very valid point though, because it’s not the first time we have a situation where a proudly “self-composed” song is suddenly not actually the artists’ because of an unforeseen scandal. Does nothing for the idol in question but paint them in a hypocritical and sneaky way.

By definition, self-composed means you’re supposed to come up with the whole thing yourself. Not buy it off someone else and slap your name on it. So, I agree, it is not illegal nor morally wrong…as long as you’re transparent about it.

It still forces change. Things rarely change, politically or culturally, because people in charge have a change of heart, but because people get tired of their bullshit.

If this is true, Ihope they have this gorup of badass women actually sing some badass things instead of making an "don't touch my oppar silly girl" wanna be anthem.

Letting out an inconspicuous fart.

Times are changing. Very Small steps, but even then dinasours still (somehow) in charge are starting to realize that.

I also don't understand why they drink from bottles or glasses by practically hanging said bottle over their mouth. Idk if it's a Korean thing or just a celebrity thing.

Butter. And asparagus. And garlic sauce.

Here is Subbit's translations:

Lamo, well, I did say my maths in particular were absolute shit.

60?

Bruh, it's AKP. Chuu reached the limit of her patience and snapped. The bits we do have do not paint BBC and the CEO in a good way at all; they humiliate her, belittle her, and try to manipulate her every step of the way; she only called them out and got rightfully angry. Subbits is working on the translation, they've always been accurate and do no take sides. They're slowly translating the piece, and none of this paints Chuu as a villian. Not even one bit. AKP is shit stirring as usual, so I suggest waiting for faithful translations.

Man, I never thought celebrity deaths would actually affect me, but I find myself thinking about him (and Hara and Sulli) quite often. I miss him. I hope he is (and they are) at peace.

My maths teacher in highschool. She refused to give up on her students. She was a hard ass, and one of the most strict people I've ever met, but she refused to give up in her students. She was the only one who recognized that I had a harder time than most with numbers (not just maths, but any sicence related subject), and never once shamed me for it. And although my 14 year old self hated it at the time, she told me she would help even if she had to explain with apples and oranges every single problem I had. Years later, what did stuck around is thanks to her, and I am truly thankful for her effort.

The member will not see a penny from these sales, so it doesn't matter anyway when it comes to them.

I can't take naps unless I'm literally falling asleep on my feet. I read it's best to have 20-something minute long naps, not long enough to enter REM sleep, cause that's when you wake up confused and even more tired.

Shhh is the creepiest Christmas song I've heard.

Nice try, FBI!

My htoughts exactly.

Ketchup.

Omg, that is hard to see. I hope she seeks the help she needs; no one deserves to feel so uncomfortable with one-self to go to these extremes.

Only when the saying is properly applied: The customer is always right...in terms of taste. Meaning, you can think a customer wearing a neon yellow sweatpants/sweatshirt combo may look trashy as hell, but if they like it, then it's their right. It's the I wanna speak to your manager type of person who loves to attribute the saying to get away with their crap, and those kinds of people can fuck off.
