I believe that ut was smearing campaign but I also agree that NEW failed big time in promo tactic and negotiations. The stigma issu Swing Kids and Kyungsoo indure rn is super sever, i did not expect that much of sheep mentality from public. It is so sad and I'm afraid it will affect Ksoo's confidence and he won't take high budget movie again... +im afraid he can get reputatiob of an actor who actually scares movie gore away.... this all makes me so damn sad...people are so stupid in their pathetic lives, they literally hate Kyungsoo for NOTHING and gate him on mass scale. He loterally did everything to earn respect and love, but it will never be enough, only because he is an idol. i just hope good project will still coming up for him and he will take part in them

well, to be fair, at least those 2 movies are selling, otherwise it would be too shamelessand Yes, amount of screens and shows SK is getting is ridiculous. People are actually complaining that they can't watch SK even if the want bc it doesn't show in near movie theatre or only shows are in the early morning and late evening

they really jist put out a doing-well movie a week after release:))) amazing Click here to view the Tweet

it's freaking suspicious, right???? I mean, NEW is a small distributor and they couldn't book many screens in the first place - they were less than 1000 in first day, but drop mpre than 100 screens in one day when movie is not doing bad???

do you think it's a targeted campaign or just journalists jumping on bandwagon? It's such a sad story about how efforts of so many talented people and great movie being smashed by dirty press and prejudice... I hope karma will hit them all The fact how fast Swing Kids loses screens is very suspicious to me. NEW really should axt something out, this is not normal, how many movies were done dirty like this? It suspicious af. My dream is to see bitches sued but I dpubt it's possible, so...I just want Swing Kids to do well and see people eating their own words about Kyungsoo... But with amount of screens it seems unlikely. If not in theaters at least I wish Swing Kids will write itself in history of Korean cinematography. Koreans seems to stick to person-cults a lot.

I just can't fit in my head, is it really a targeted smaring campaign and most importantly how can it work so well????? It's freaking true that people IN MASS avoide a movie with amazing reviews and famous director bc the lead is "just an idol"?And number of screen incr3sing in not normal pace, swing kids is not doing that bad to loose 100 screens in just one day! I just hope they can make profit fr9m different sputces, it shouldn't end up in negatove...and NEW promo team should do something with this targeted defamation, who writes was articles claiming that reviews are bought and pre-release is dirty tactic? Who? And who the hell believes this shit???

Not to ruin the mood, but number of screen today was just 855... minus 100 from yesterday! Idk what's happening and why it's decreasing so fast. I doubt that with that amount of screens Swing Kids can actually pick up and I'm super upset. Swing Kids team deserves better than that. what went wrong *sigh* ==== watching clips from Knowing Brothers and my heart bursts from happiness and love UWU

There are really problems with public prejudice against idol born actors and that apology just fueled it and made it widely knwon tgat idol is lead and has "crazy fans" There articles tryong to downplay Swing Kids and it's promotion tactis, many comments bringing up "crazy fans" and how movie is selling only because of them. It is already hard to be an idol-born actor, even for Kyungsoo who gets recognition and constantly performs well, but this issue (about Song Kangho's son) went public and making headlines of 100500 articles made it worse and got "crazy fans" label on Swing Kids. +not many screens. We started with less than 1000 (while Drug King has over 1200, Aquaman too) and people are complaining that there are not many showings outside Seoul, even in Daegu and Busan. I even heard that Swing Kids is often shows in small capacity halls, but idk about this. Reception of people who watched it is very good, reviews are mostly very good, but sales are still low for a high budget movie - the BEP is 3.7M and it looks very hard to reach

ah, friends, I already asked for fanfics recommendations, but I forgot to mention that I love ChanBaek too so would be glad to get some suggestions :3

SWING KIDS in USA! https://twitter.com/cgvcinemasusa/status/1075152680102723584?s=19

I won't lie - Im a bit disappointed I expected bigger admission in first day ._. now BEP seem more hard to reach (for me), hope word of mouth will do wonders

haha, we need to wait for a day to end at least So far as much as I understand, Swing Kids receives good ratings on naver page from both males and females. I hope admission is high

damage is still done, a million articles were released, the idea of "Swing Kids is doing well bc idol leads it and Drug King with top actor got dragged bc of immature fans" is spread. It was SO disrespectful of his son to do this, and not only towards Kyungsoo, but Director Kang and the whole crew of Swing Kids. Also it's clear that there was smear campaign, it's clear they (I mean Showbox) used Kyungsoo's name and exo-ls bad reputation to make a fuss and make it seem like Swing Kids success and good views compared to DK is bc of EXO-Ls. I don't think they have to play that dirty, Drug King is still doing well. And about Song Kangho's son... It just shows the general public\average person's views, no? "It can't be that movie gets bad reviews bc movie is bad it might be that idol's fans doing". I really hope it won't turn bad for Swing Kids =| But people's views on idols is saddening, those views allow them to trash a young talent, a great movie, they let those prejudice cloud their minds and come up with the shit Song Kangho's song came up with.

I'm disgusted and would never expect it from respected actor and movie company. That's the dirtiest mediaplay I've seen since joining k-pop. Most of k-pop mediaplay got nothing on this... I really can't believe it is happening.. I'm afraid it will hurt Swing Kids petformance... Let's hope that movie will speak for itself! Fighting! Though we can't do much.

I didn't correct that person bc I was too lazy to search for receipts, but yup, that proves my point - the weakest (in my opinion) choreos are done by 1 million studio ¯¯\_(ヅ)_/¯¯ Love Shot and Blooming Days are an improvement, but still at some parts unnecessarily hard. For example this part: [i can't find highlight tweet lol, soooo here on 0:34 ]At least only Kai did it, but wtf is this? It's signature 1Mil choreo -light speed hand throwing, abrupt moves. Hard is not bad, but sometimes the outcome is not that grade and thus there is a question - why make the life for singers harder if there is no point to it? It's hard to repeat (to make the dance trendy, for example), and people probably wouldn't want to cover it that much overall. Tony Testa is crazy dude, but his choreo is theatrical, unique and memorable at least. Love Shot is a huge improvement, I actually like it, and there is more group formations. From that list my fave choreographies are: Overdose, Angel, The Eve, Monster, Love Me Right (just because boys have hella fun with it) +Cloud9 (it was mentioned sooo) btw Tempo is meh too

what what is it do you now something? x))) Cultwo show.... Stup8d to hope fore Love Yourself cover there right? *cries*

yes :(

This thread https://onehallyu.com/topic/750661-why-doesnt-kyungsoo-get-any-cfs/ made me realize that many people for real don't realize how powerful Ksoo's name in Korea rn and that he is a talk of the town only bc SM is not shoving him down everyone's throats.... I think in the end of the day, promotion with purpose if appearing in public eyes often is important - it increases exposure and recognizability/familiarity and such. To be an IT-boy you truly need to be everywhere it seems - on TV, on variety shows, in every shop and on commercials outside... And it's so stupid to assume that EXO boys don't score any solo CF bc they CAN'T and don't have selling power is ridiculous haha Also, I can't judge much, can you give unbiased opinion on who has more selling (and ratings) power rn, our Kyungsoo or Cha Eunwoo or Jung Hae-in or any other trendy young male celebrity/current it-boy? I don't believe SM will ever see the light and they will continue ti use Soo's success to promote others, but I still hold hopes. I think Kyungsoo would suit to be in CF of something edible or CF of some kitchenware company x)))

ah, Billionaire again, I wish it was something new or at least Love Yourself x))) but I'll take that gladly. Applause yo Knowing Bros for giving Kyungsoo justice... Our boy is going to hit into total stardom soon, brothers and sisters. I can't be more proud and happy for him.

yes! I knew Kyungsoo would LOVE "Wait", turns out it's hus fave song x))) it is really his style

directors love him so much i cry? so proud and happy for him

glad we are agree on something for once x) There is no point in giving choreo that only Kai/dance line can execute properly every performance. There is no point in making choreo for singing group overly hard if the end result doesn't have replay vslue or "wow" effect. I agree that no one should be harassed in that situation too, but I hope Mihawk is realizing what's his mistake? Dude really tried to blame members' weakness in dancing, like? Maybe stop doing solo dance for Kai and then try to fit everyone else in it? (no complaints tho, Kai looks amazing and captivating haha) This situation is strange and I don't understand how no one pointed out to SM or EXO that EXO's choreos are lacking something lately. ========================== Here is the preblem with Love Shot and some others 1mil choreos: Bring Kai on stage and leave out the rest and nothing will really change in choreo presentation (there are exceptions, of course, like Blooming Day). Don't watch geoup performances, just watch individual fancams and you will barely miss anything. But try to do the same with Growl, Monster and so on - it will be a different story.
