Are idols’ companies lying about their COVID test results?
namidaone replied to My Everything's topic in Random
Cmiiw but it's illegal to lie about Covid info in Kr. It's how that cult (i forgot the name) got arrested. -

Yikes she's getting harrassed in her dms bc of this, like what happened to bryanhuynh. Glad she's not backing down and plans to fight this. -
Former U-KISS Member Eli Announces Divorce
namidaone replied to soman's topic in Celebrity News & Gossip
Exactly. And even if Yoon Seo refused to date him at first and only agreed bc he kept persisting (if what Eli says is really true and not as a result of brainwashing), why didn't she complain to his parents or his agency instead of agreeing to date him?? -
Former U-KISS Member Eli Announces Divorce
namidaone replied to soman's topic in Celebrity News & Gossip
Yikes I didn't know Eli was 18 when he dated Yoon Seo. He got married when he was 23 or 24 so I thought they started dating when he turned 20. I thought the posts were spoilered bc it was off-topic so I didn't read them. And to think I respected his decision to fight his parents and fans to marry. Now I wonder if he was brainwashed bc he was groomed. -
Probably. In Starship's case tho, one of their trainees was rigged out of X1 (Jungmo). So idk if they intended to rig him out, or thought that his rank would be safe and focused on rigging other trainees in. Although them not reacting to report about Jungmo getting cheated out of X1 was very sus. That 8D Ent rep has worked for 4 companies pre-Produce 48 : Woollim (former manager of Infinite) Produce 48: 8D Creative Produce X: Enfant Terrible post-Produce X: Majesty Ent In their press release 8D Creative said that the rep was indicted for actions he did as an Enfant Terrible rep. And that their office was not raided in connection with Produce X. The ones raided were Starship, Woollim, and MBK [x] However there were some unnamed agencies that the police visited but not raided in connection with Produce 48. [x] Idk if 8D Creative was of those agencies visited, but them keeping mum on that is kinda sus. As for Around Us Ent, some of their staff are ex-Cube employees who switched to Around Us when B2ST/Highlight switched. altho idk if the Around Us rep in this particular case was an ex-Cube employee or not. My thoughts too. I'd also like to add that another possible reason for the bribery is to change the trainee's "edit" (ex: evil edit, angel edit, etc) That's why some of the indicted agency reps got charged even tho none of the trainees ended up in the debut lineup. And another possible reason for the bribery is not for the sake of their current agency but for the sake of their previous/future agency (ex: 8D rep) And the ranking manipulation happened not just in the final ranking, but in the preliminary rankings too. == Interesting how MBK got raided but none of their reps got indicted. Makes me wonder if one of the indicted reps has previous connections with them, Or if they got off indictment due to a technicality, because last time they were suspected of vote manipulation in Produce S1 by ordering staff to spam-vote their trainees into the lineup using 100k borrowed accounts.

According to vocal teachers, but not to the kpop industry. Even the artists admired by the Korean GP for their singing have issues with breath support.
-
Even w/o Breath support, Woozi sings well enough to be in Seventeen's Vocal Unit. And at least he sings loud enough to be heard even in the MR-removed ver of their performances. Which is more than what I can say for certain breath-supported vocalists mentioned this thread.

"Thank you, Lisa ex-manager" - YG, prolly -
5 agency reps from 4 ent companies were indicted. [x] . All 5 reps were found guilty and charged with fines ranging from 5M - 7M each in the first trial on May 29 2020. [x] During the appeals trial (Nov 27 2020), all 5 reps were still found guilty and received heavier sentences -- aside from the fine, each rep got an additional eight-month prison sentence that are suspended for two years of probation. This means that they will only serve the prison sentences if they commit another offense during the probation period. [x] Around US Ent rep Kim - fined 7m won in the first trial, additional 8mo suspended prison sentence for 2yr probation in the appeals trial (ex) Woollim Ent rep Lee - fined 7m won in the first trial, additional 8mo suspended prison sentence for 2yr probation in the appeals trial (ex) 8D Creative rep (but was also former Woollim Ent rep and now Enfant Terrible rep) Ryu - fined 7m won in the first trial, additional 8mo suspended prison sentence for 2yr probation in the appeals trial 2 Starship Ent executives Kim and Kim - fined 5M won each in the first trial, additional 8mo suspended prison sentence for 2yr probation each in the appeals trial

Former U-KISS Member Eli Announces Divorce
namidaone replied to soman's topic in Celebrity News & Gossip
Couldn't see his kid most of the time bc he was busy either working as an idol or as a part time delivery rider to pay the bills. Now he can't be there for his son bc he's in a diff continent and Covid is still a threat. I'm not a fan, but I've always respected how he weathered objections from Ukiss's fans and Eli's own parents to marry Yeon Soo. Hope that whatever happens afterward -- whether their divorce becomes final or they get back together -- the couple gets the privacy that they need to make the best decision for themselves and their kid. edit: Eww nvm icb they dated when he was 18. -
Maybe that busted toilet in the old Pledis dance practice room traumatized Seventeen so much that a lot of them are TMI w/ toilet info. Esp Vernon bc he fell into that dirty p**p water, aka the legend of Vernon and the vest jacket, RIP. (skip to 20:30) But Suho DID share some toilet info. tbf he thought he was only sharing it to staff but knet CSI have good lipreading skills. TOP.. why am I not surprised And it's not just TOP. Bigbang and other YG (ex AND curr) artists have toilet pics and toilet scenes in a lot of their MVs. BP haven't shared toilet info yet, but there was one cafe owner who tried to sell a toilet seat which Lisa previously used. [x] Treasure is the last YG group standing who hasn't shared toilet info.. yet.

Too late lighter, asdfghjjj In the latest GOSE they had to mime "when you need to go to the toilet reeeallly bad but it's on the top floor and the elevator is taking too long and a junior is trying to talk to you Skip to 5:16 for "total engrossment" . Carats, you have my condolences.

i just saw the word "toilet" in the title and knew it HAD to be Vernon's recent post. Altho tbf he didn't show the actual toilet, just the sign for the men's toilet asdfghjjjj

There's four songs in their ep actually. And all 4 songs have the same low Japanese to Japanglish ratio, even the songs written by Japanese artists like Rima's dad for Boom3x. [x] The lyrics play a bigger role in determining whether a song or an artist/group is Kpop or Jpop or Western pop, esp when they have similar music. It's how songs like IOI's Whatta Man is considered Kpop and how E-girls Never-ending story is Jpop even though they're a remix of Western pop songs.

I find Niziu different from E-girls for a lot of reasons. E-girls only have 1-3 singers and the rest are performers unlike NiziU where each member has a singing/rapping part no matter how small. They have more variety in vocals i.e they've got vocalists w/ deep/husky voices and not just high-pitched voices. And for E-girls songs the lyrics have a higher ratio of pure Japanese to Japanglish lines (except for their eng ver songs like Never Ending Story eng ver) while for NiziU like 1 pure Japanese line for every 3 Japanglish lines. You usually find similar ratios in Jhiphop / Rnb songs and songs from mixed Japanese artists like Beni but for Jpop the idols who have songs with that kind of low Japanese:Japanglish ratio is JO1 which is another Jpop+Kpop hybrid group.

Dreamcatcher and Mamamoo can't relate -
If there was proof that Pledis was part of the rigging in Produce, they would have been one of the companies whose offices were raided during the investigation, and whose officials were investigated and eventually charged. But the companies that were investigated, raided, and charged were Woollim Entertainment, Starship Entertainment, and MBK Entertainment. (8D Creative was also accused of providing "entertainment services" to AJY PD but it turns out that the 8D Creative manager responsible was also an ex-Woollim manager who switched to Majesty Ent. He supported Choi Byunghoon who was at Enfant Terrible Ent but switched to Majesty Ent after the show ended. However, his final rank during PD X 101 was 98th place.) Pledis still sucks tho.

Yea I know she was under Pledis at the time bc I stanned Kirin her Pledis co-trainee. But she's no longer w/ Pledis so any compensation or news abt Gaeun even if it's about her past activities, her new company can have a say if they want. Speaking of Gaeun, here's her company's reaction (High Ent) It could be that they dw respond bc they dgaf, but itt they're not responding bc they're still negotiating/under nda w/ CJ or Mnet.
