Boys24 had Isaac (Malaysia), Produce X had Peak (Thai), Idol School had Natty (Thai) and Tasha (Singapore), and i-Land had Hanbin (Vietnam) so there's a history of SEA representation in Mnet survival shows. But I partly agree that it's still not enough representation for a show aiming to make a* global group. Esp when you compare it to China idol survival shows where they had SEA, European, and African contestants.

So... Esther Yu is the "Youth Tutor" for "Youth With You" S3
namidaone replied to 5201314's topic in Celebrity News & Gossip
wau so Esther's the PD, Or is it a mentor role like Lisa's? Either way, congrats to her! Now I wonder if the other winners from YWY S! S1 and S2 will get a mentor role or a guest* feature in the show too. -
GOT7 and Stray Kids are the top 2 red carpet fashion. Seventeen's Red Carpet look is 3rd but theirs show how classic, well-fitted tailoring + good physique will never go out of fashion. BTS wasn't really that bad -- only the 2nd guy from the left looked shabby + the hanbok suit jackets looked really nice NCT 127 - The pants are wrinkly and so ill-fitted that it made their hips look unflattering. But they're top3 in terms of color palette. The rookie groups have the worst red carpet looks -- but i'm sure they'll bounce back with a vengeance in their next red carpet.

Better perf than their MAMA perf but The Fact perf and SBS perf is still better. Backup dancers' synchro still needs work (esp in LAR) but at least they're now wearing masks and are used sparingly to frame the choreo this time around.

As the only Thai member of Blackpink, Lisa enjoys "special treatment" from YG. Lisa is the only member whose trademark for her names is owned by YG -- including her surname [x] , is the only member whose earnings were embezzled by their ex-manager, with the ex-manager avoiding lawsuit/jail, [x] and until recently gets a lower cut of the pay from group activities compared to the other 3 members. [x] So if Bambam wants to experience that kind of "special treatment", then he should definitely switch to YG.

Reacting about an individual, a work, a product, or a procedure even negative is opinion and a part of freedom of speech. It's when it crosses the line from mere opinion to intellectual dishonesty is when I find it disturbing. Giving a 1 or 2 star review of a product is an opinion and is based upon personal taste. Claiming that a product has a controversial ingredient or was manufactured using a controversial procedure that was not disclosed in their label, based on personal experience as a consumer and not on expert opinion is intellectual dishonesty.

If one isn't certain abt whether it's live or not then why not give the benefit of doubt and acknowledge the possibility that the singer was singing live, while promoting their own opinion that they were using LAR? A singer's job is to sing, and singers have had their entire singing careers called into question when they're caught lipsyncing just one time. Even Mariah was traumatized by the backlash on her 2017 NYE lipsync mishap, and she was one of the more fortunate ones, because other artists had to end their career after one slipup. [x] Same thing w/ ps: if one isn't certain abt whether it's ps or not why not give the benefit of doubt and acknowledge the possibility that the idol did it naturally by exercise/diet/lighting/angles/makeup A celeb's job is to look good, esp idols who have beauty/fashion endorsements like Blackpink. A Taiwanese model's professional life and even personal life suffered when an ad which featured her as a supposed ps client went viral. [x] Also Koreans could not make the kind of content that lolly is doing bc they would have been called out for violating Art 56 of Korea's Medical Act which states that individuals who are not doctors are prohibited to make advertisement content or say any promotional phrases about a medical treatment such as skin treatment, hair implant procedures, and plastic surgery procedures. [x] Even most KR cosmetic surgeons (except Dal Shabet Serri's surgeon) look like they can't even say the name of the procedure when they're asked to react to idol faces in YT, . even though they have a license to do so, they just say whether it's a hard thing or easy thing to achieve that kind of face via ps and whether they'd alter the same feature or alter a different feature or let it stay unaltered instead.

I watched, but for those who didn't watch the title and the about section should be enough info. "BlackPink Jennie Kim: Plastic Surgery (2016-2020) - Lifting The Veil" No "reaction, no "opinion" like most YT reactors do In the About section at least she does admit that it is just her opinion but she says hers is a "very informed opinion". "I will be giving my opinion based on my research on plastic surgery, also on photo analysis, when there are not good and clear before photos I’m still able to work off my knowledge of typical plastic surgery signs and markings on the face in most cases. : Please know that although I have a very informed opinion based on my own experience I am not an EXPERT or a Doctor"

I agree. I think It's also a passive-aggressive form of body-shaming, Like a lot of the posts in the OH PS thread, even the posts they give backhanded compliments like "their recent procedure looks good on them". Some don't even bother with the "it looks like it's plastic surgery" disclaimer, they outright state that it IS plastic surgery, even though they're merely speculating and don't even have the medical credentials or credible sources to back them up.

It's heart-breaking that even after Johnny's death, ex-JE artists/trainees still have to couch their words with "I'm not saying that it's sexual abuse" to describe a situation of sexual abuse. If a CEO like Johnny allowed his company work environment to become so toxic that some artists/trainees believe that they have to sleep with him in order to debut, then that CEO was committing sexual abuse, specifically sexual harassment. [x] And considering Johnny's Jr has underage members/trainees, Johnny was also committing child abuse.

announcement Your feedback is important: Reaction system.
namidaone replied to Sofs's topic in Rules, Feedback, Announcements
I'm just speaking for myself but I use the wtf for posts that promote, condone, joke or trivialize racism, xenophobia, pedophilia, murder, bullying/harrassment, sexual assault, and other serious issues. I also use the report button for those posts, but since not all reported posts get removed at least my wtf react stays on that post. [sidenote: this reminds me that I need to follow-up on the last post I reported] As for the dislike react, I use that on posts that have logical fallacies and don't have sources to back up their own claims, but aren't disturbing. I use the clown react instead of the dislike react when the poster is obviously fishing for negs. -
Re: concerts, Avex DID switch to online concert when the Covid-19 restrictions were announced. For example a-nation, one of the biggest if not THE biggest Avex concert series recently switched to a-nation online 2020. [x] However there's a disparity in the stage quality among the acts, Where the popular acts (or up-and-coming acts in Faky's case ) get customized stages (even AR stage in Sky-Hi's case ) w/ live band/dj ver and great props, lighting, sound system, and camerawork (ex: all Blue stage acts + Sky Hi in Green stage) While the rest get the default a-nation stage w/ average lighting, sound system, and camerawork. ( ex: all Green stage acts except Sky-HI. Poor lol ) side question: is Da-ice losing their popularity? or do they have issues w/ Avex management? Because it was surprising that they got the default stage.

Fans and nonfans, What do you think about EVERGLOW?
namidaone replied to Silent Dawn's topic in Random
Songs are a bop. They're one of the few 4th gen ggs I know (if not the ONLY 4th gen gg) who can dance in heels. Wish their line distribution could be a bit fairer though. Also knetz hating on them just bc they're under a Chinese label should take a hike. Cnetz should take a hike too for petitioning for Yiren's punishment just bc Everglow performed in front of the SK army. Corona should take a hike too, for cockblocking their world tour. -

Speaking of Avex, Max Matsuura -- the founder and CEO -- stepped down on May 2020 and says he plans to work more as a music producer. He'll still keep his position as a Avex Chairman and Representative Director. The CEO since May is Katsumi Kuroiwa the former COO. [x] == Also akina's latest song hits even harder now that her group is in danger.
