Pledis releases an update on Seventeen's Mingyu
namidaone replied to Lee's topic in Celebrity News & Gossip
Whether given on the phone or written, the same inconsistency in the hagwon incident and DWC-plagiarism incident stand out, and that is Pledis denying that their accused artist is guilty but does the same things that a company of a guilty artist usually does - apologizing to the accuser ( hagwon incident) or making reparations to the accuser (including Coldplay + Chainsmoker songwriters in DWC credits) - not demanding an apology fr the accuser in both incidents even though the accusations were damaging to their artist's reputation - not suing the accusers for compensation even though the artist, and by extension the group were affected by those accusations Also that article abt DWC plagiarism-gate was posted in 2017, and it's still up in Billboard to this day. Since that time they were able to gain the US connections needed for Seventeen's US promotions and for the US leg of Seventeen's world tour. And that was before they got acquired by Bighit/HYBE. If Pledis really felt that their statement in that article was inaccurately reported, they could have easily reached out to Billboard to correct it via those connections. But it's been more than 3 years since then, and so far they've done nothing. -

Pledis releases an update on Seventeen's Mingyu
namidaone replied to Lee's topic in Celebrity News & Gossip
The OP made multiple posts that talked about more than one incident First post was abt an incident in Burim Middle School - where OP claimed they were being bullied physically and constantly harrassed in middle school - this was not translated from the very start bc it was clear that the OP was not referring to Mingyu - Pledis reaction: They confirmed fr OP that Mingyu is unrelated to this incident 2nd post was abt an incident in "S" (initial) hagwon aka (after school) - this is the post that got translated and spread in different versions bc altho it doesn't directly name Mingyu it heavily implies it's him bc it talks about "a boy" from Burim Middle school who was in the same grade as OP iand was in the same after school class as OP, and debuted as an idol later on. - OP claimed they were the only girl in the after school class and claimed "boy" made sexual jokes (like puns abt body hair) whenever OP was present. -- "Boy" used to make those kind of jokes even with a teacher present - Teacher told "boy" to not make those kind of jokes bc a girl is present, - After the teacher's warning, "boy" stopped from making those jokes in front of teachers - But if there were no teachers present, "boy" still told those kind of jokes even when OP is present. - Boy also laughed at the drawings in the blackboard abt jokes of different types of body hair - OP also has other issues with boy (getting told to "stop acting out" whenever she tried to voice her opinion) - OP's reason for talking abt this incident with "boy" is because they saw posts defending "boy" from a previous incident (by a different OP not this OP) and that brought up horrible memories of OP's time w/ boy in the hagwon. - OP's intention is not to get an apology but they want people to know what happened and that "boy" is "the type of person who would do these things in front of someone" - Pledis reaction: -- Pledis says that Mingyu was just making jokes along with his male hagwon classmates but never bullied or tried to embarrass a specific student, but he still offered a sincere apology to OP if OP felt uncomfortable or suffered abt his actions. - Pledis says OP accepted Mingyu's apology and that from the very first start of OP's conversation with Pledis, OP insisted that they don't want Mingyu to suspend his activities or withdraw from Seventeen. -
Pledis releases an update on Seventeen's Mingyu
namidaone replied to Lee's topic in Celebrity News & Gossip
Then keep side-eyeing bc unlike Mingyu and Pledis I'm not gonna say sorry for anything I've said if I've really feel I've said nothing wrong. You can't really expect everyone -- whether they like Seventeen or not -- to not point out the inconsistencies in their company's official statement and to not bring up previous history of them giving inconsistent statements. -
Pledis releases an update on Seventeen's Mingyu
namidaone replied to Lee's topic in Celebrity News & Gossip
Ngl, that was one of the parts in the update that made me side-eye bc it gave me flashbacks to DWC plagiarism-gate [x] -
Hi!
Idk if you followed me by accident.
But thank you anyway.
And feel free to look around my profile! (altho I don't post much in OH nowadays).
Anyway, hope we can have good discussions abt Kpop Cpop and Jpop here in OH in the future!

Pledis releases an update on Seventeen's Mingyu
namidaone replied to Lee's topic in Celebrity News & Gossip
@Lee, while Soompi is reliable, their translation is still a bit buggy ex: "We are informing you of additionally confirmed information" ,etc. Here's the official English statement fr Pledis themselves From their twitlonger post [x] "Hello. This is PLEDIS Entertainment. We would like to provide some additional information regarding an online post pertaining to when Mingyu, a member of SEVENTEEN was a student. PLEDIS Entertainment had many conversations with the writer of the online post, which contained experiences at the after school class that the poster attended with the artist and ascertained additional facts of the issue. After going through this process, the artist and the poster agreed to resolve the misunderstandings and put the issue to rest. The writer of the online post experienced a series of personal events unrelated to the artist while attending middle school and uploaded the post to make them known to the public. The post also included what happened during the after school classes at the time. The artist said he did joke around with his male classmates at the after school class, but never bullied nor tried to embarrass any specific student. He did however, offer his sincere apologies if the poster, in any way, felt uncomfortable or suffered due to his actions. The poster accepted the artist’s apology and insisted that the poster did not want the issue to lead to the suspension of the artist’s activity or the artist leaving the group from the very first conversation held with PLEDIS Entertainment. We have shared this statement with the poster in advance and the poster confirmed and agreed to the release of the statement. We sincerely hope that the writer of the post does not experience further harm due to any disputes--big or small--over the issue. We have contacted everyone involved in the post who could be identified and brought the conversation to a close. We are also currently looking into other matters which involve parties that are difficult to identify. We will provide an update with a separate notice on this issue at a later date" -
iQIYI & Yuehua to produce Idol Survival Show with 40 Trainees
namidaone replied to 5201314's topic in Movies & Television
That cast poster accidentally provides an interesting glimpse of the YH idol hierarchy. Cheng Xiao in the frontrow along w/ Han Geng Yibo and Wenhan Meiqi and Xuanyi one row behind Cheng Xiao and the same row as Jihan and Hu Chunyang (even tho MeiXuan are also fr WJSN like Cheng Xiao and fr Rocket Girls as the Top1 and Top2 of Produce 101 China) NEX7 in the farthest row (even tho Zhengting and Justin are also fr Nine Percent as Top4 and Top6 of Idol Producer) Yixuan Wenxuan and Xunlun nowhere to be found even tho they're the winners of All for One S1 and We Are Young (aka All For One S2) -

Even real roads need regular paving to prevent damage from constant wear and tower. Blackpink's figurative way was paved previously by Psy Bigbang and 2NE1 But that era has passed and now it's Blackpink who's doing the latest paving.

It's been that way since Feb 2020 when they did SVT Kpop facts iirc. https://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/music/a30704817/seventeen-kpop/ Prolly even before that bc there were times in 2018 and 2019 where Seventeen trended ww. https://www.soompi.com/article/1356593wpp/seventeens-jeonghan-trends-worldwide-on-twitter-as-fans-celebrate-his-birthday

Produce 101 China announces Mentors + Super Trainee
namidaone replied to Lee's topic in Celebrity News & Gossip
Lots of members in The9, esp Esther and Xin Liu have pre-show popularity. Xin Liu was a member of Ladybees and also a prev winner of a survival show just like Cai Xukun. After QCYN2, she also won Masked Dancer of China many times, beating even Meng Meiqi of WJSN/Rocket Girls and Casper. which increased her popularity even further. Esther has a v outgoing personality which makes her a fun guest in in variety shows. As for the two shows, I onl watched the perf clips so I ca'nt say for sure what make iQiyi just as popular in Weibo (if not more popular). But from what I gathered in the qcyn2 subreddit, Youth with You 2 showed wholesome interactions btw the girl trainees and showed the trainee's unique characteristics. As for Chuang 2020, even fans admit that the show's long airtime (5+ hrs) and the rule change + the drama btw trainees turned off some of the viewers. However they believe Bonbon Girls 303 will still be more popular than The9* in the long run because Tencent has the resources to book the girls in lots of individual/grp activities in TV, film and music**. (Tencent CEO is the 2nd richest man in China) . -
I liked Xu Fengfan's dance and I'm glad he's getting a lot of attention for it. Masaya is a friend of JO1 Ren and he's also a backup dancer but I liked his Shine a light Vocal cover more than his Tsukame Dance. His voice cracked a bit at some of the high notes but he still had a big smile on his face so I find it v refreshing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCoaLyxXOJY

PDJ S2 Trainees' Tsukame Dance vids are now in YT! They're using Tsukame and not the new theme song bc the show hasn't technically started yet. What aired just recently was the countdown vid. Here's the vid with the highest viewcount so far His name is Tajima Shogo and he's an ex-Johnny's Jr trainee/member He left Johnny's in 2016, went to SK to train but came back in 2019. So he knows how to speak Kr. And aside fr dancing he's also good at rapping (the rap in his Vocal vid was his original work)

Thank you for creating the thread, OP! Last season's official OH thread was a good source of up-to-date info and viewer feedback abt the show and the trainees! so i'm looking forward to this thread too! Trainee clips are already up in Gyao but they're not in YT yet. And the Gyao vids are region-locked. Found this spreadsheet from the PDJS2 discord that might help though. [x] Source: [x] There's also a PDJS2 reddit, weibo, douban, and bilibili too! Plus at least 3 fansub teams (2 Eng, 1 CN). So despite the region-lock, fans can still get tons of content.

[Netizenkore][Pann] No but Vernon’s nickname is so funny
namidaone replied to soman's topic in Netizen Nation
True. I mean, if he really bought a Tesla, he (and prolly the rest of the members too) are prolly set enough to focus only on Seventeen without branching into acting or other individual activities.* But he has so much potential though. Look at how well he was able to fool most of the members whenever he's the Mafia. Call me delulu but I think he would fit in shows with a blend of scifi/fantasy and surreal/dark dramedy like Umbrella Academy
