Can you explain what's happening? I noticed there was some hullabaloo on twitter, but I couldn't understand it.

Can you explain what's happening? I noticed there was some hullabaloo on twitter, but I couldn't understand it.

 

Well its an accumulation of stuff Star Empire has been doing since ZE:A's debut but for a lot of fans the fan meeting mess was the last straw. The fan meeting was originally supposed to be on July 26th (I was gonna go) but S.E posted a note last week stating that the date has changed to August 9th. There was no real explanation except they couldn't secure the venue they had in mind for that date. That pissed off a lot of fans cus a chunk of them are in High School students and with the date change, that's only like 2 or 3 weeks before their exams so many of them wouldn't be able to go. Some even begged their parents and everything to get permission to go. There's also those who are coming from outside Korea and who already made arrangements so that's another thing that sucks. 

 

Fans are questioning why they didn't secure the venue before posting a date and why they couldn't find somewhere else that was available on the same date. There's also the mess that was the First Homme promotions. Like Siwan only appearing for their comeback week, the length of the promotional period, the lateness of the music video, the company not securing the group with activities during promotions, and the post on how they said that they would be promoting stagger and it ended up only being for their goodbye stages. There was also this thing where Daegu was the only fan sign outside the Seoul vicinity but they were able to secure this special camp event that was created only for japanese fans. There's also the controversy of the time when the post about the promotions ended was put up on the fan cafe. It was posted at 5:58PM which is 2mins before the end of the work day for the employees. Many fans believe they did it at that time to prevent the angry phone calls from fans that would most definitely would have taken place. They also don't like how Junyoung apologized on twitter one hour after the post when it should have been the company to have done it. There's also the A-Z video where Siwan talks about why he had such a little part in the song and how he apologized and they wonder if it was the company who made him say that. The day that they posted about the date change, they also posted the minwoo/dongjun video message. So fans are accusing S.E of using the members to appease the situation. They also mention about the S.E staff and all the things that they do that isn't right. There's other stuff but it's all centered on bad management. 

 

I wrote too much...

 

In short, S.E ignores fans feedback and does what it wants. 

 

There's a post in the freeboard that sums up all this and its an actual warning to S.E and if nothing changes I can see there might be a boycott very soon

[comandhurst]

They should push Kevin to appear on singing competition more. Not as ZEA but as a soloist because that is the area the group have not conquer yet. Also I think Heechul could potentially put his name out there because the guy has personality.

Thanks for the info.

On twitter it looked like they had a bunch of SE's financial documents, is that related?

If there is a boycott, I hope they can get some change happening.

[CEEKAY]

they've changed the date AGAIN...thank god i didn't change my flight cus that would have pissed me off even more...idk why they are so obsessed with the wapop hall venue

BREAKING: ZE:A’s leader Junyoung leaves blood-chilling message attacking CEO



ZE:A’s Leader, Junyoung has tweeted a blood-chilling message on Twitter, where he threatens to destroy and go to war against his CEO.
This message comes just moments after Koreaboo revealed in a report E! News had interviewed an ex-trainee who had been raped and sexually abused. While this has not been confirmed to be the same CEO, the message is definitely chilling and is in a very serious tone.
We hope and pray that ZE:A and their members stay safe, whatever the situation may be. Read his message below: 

Everyone, you know I love you right? My profile photo is of the Japanese athlete, Tanaka, who made our ZE:A’s Taehoon hurt. I want to hate him a lot.. But I felt against hat professionals and amateurs are different. Was it two years ago? I went into KBS’ “Dream Team†and broke my leg. If only I didn’t have this metal pin in my leg..

Even if I get hit 10 times, break my nose and fracture my face, I want to hit him at least once.. But.. I heard that it is his last match.. I calm my heart once again today with a sigh.. Anyways, he will not forget his last match. That fighter faced Korean idol group ZE:A and retired cooly. Taeheon’s surgery went well and he’s now out of the hospital. And now it might be late.. but I send him applause. Fighter Tanaka, please live happily. I think you must know your last match was not that sweet.
I hope you know that loss became a sea of tears for someone, and that a lot of people were sacrificed.. Since you are a professional and a man, I hope you know. From now on, I will live like a man. I watched the match and I felt a lot of things. I spilled tears, and I think I know what a man is. 
The photo’s of the entrance, and I shouldn’t have smiled. Ha… I’m bitter. Today, if you are a fan or just anyone else and you watched the match, you’ll understand. From now on, since I’m a man, I’ll live my life through my heart.
Ah, and it would have been nice if while Taeheon was bleeding, I asked Tanaka to stop because I was the leader, I was his friend, and I was a member who loved him, because we had a concert the next day.. But this is broadcast, right..? I guess you wanted to air him bleeding even more. Since it’s the broadcast.. Ha..

Would you have still done it if Taeheon, I, Ze:A’s fans, or the other members were your children? Today, as always, I spent all night just sighing. 

From now on, I’ll communicate and let the public know everything I’ve been keeping in my heart, what I saw with my eyes and the life I felt through my tears. Please follow me, everyone. I ask especially for reporters to follow me. I’ll hint and promise that my SNS will be the place for me to cry out about all the unfairness. From now on, I’ll live like a human and a man. I won’t pass by if I see unjustness. I shouldn’t keep it all in. All that came back to me were useless curses and the depression that trapped me. 

There’s nothing long to be said. I believe that a true leader, a true king, and a true sincere person should know how to listen to the cries of his people. I can’t be trickily like a fox, but I will live justly like a lion. No, that’s just my style, I won’t hide it. 
I will show you what a true leader is, what true sacrifice is, and I’ll show you how tears turn to fury. I’m not joking, from now on, fun things will happen. If my Twitter account gets deleted, or muted, you can take that to mean that I am being pressured by that kind of influence. But, I’ll break it all. ^^

Sincerity and truth can connect and move hearts.. and also manipulate it. Now, I will ask the world my first question. Star Empire’s President, Shin Joo Hak, that I really trusted and loved… Is your conscience clear? 
I cried and asked you.. CEO Shin Joo Hak… I asked you not to cross the line.. You crossed the line that you shouldn’t have and now you must deal with it. My lid is open. I have sealt with everyone, from hair loss to depression. Be prepared… President, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. All I wanted was a warm word. 

You always said be a man.. be a man.. I’ll show you what it really means to live as a man. I’m not Jesus, but I’m a child of God, and I’ll trust in God and star war. I’ve even tried to [commit suicide].. and I saw my parents crying tears of blood in front of the family that I loved.
President Shin, cried the same tears. Why? It was so unfair and I was getting so weak and ugly.. but I was a man, so I decided I’d die before I got even more ugly. 

My fans, my parents and the parents of the 9 members, and everyone in the world. Why do you think CEO Shin Joo Hak raised me as a killer? Now, I’ll return it back to you. Be prepared. Staring tomorrow, I will be uploading data. No, I’ll explode it. Do you remember when I asked if you were laughing at me?
I’ll let you know how it feels like for that laugh to turn to horror. You called us your children, right? Your sons? Now, let me ask you the first question. All the money that the 9 songs made bleeding and crying.. Where did it all go? Reply with your hand on your heart. 
I’ll finish here today.. You said you were the companies owner and CEO and you yelled at me to respect you right? I’ll respect you.. I grit my teeth today as well and I’ll stand back. Have a nice day.. CEO.. Why did you do this to me? I asked.. I asked you to please stop. 
Ah.. And I forgot something. If you threaten to try to buy out the rest of the 8 ZE:A members, I will do the same back to you. I’m prepared to break that as well, so stop, president. I’m not going to bear it any longer. 

Those kids.. ZE:A.. They’re my children. I’m the only child, and I was so lonely, and they became like brothers to me.. Don’t touch them.. They’re mine. Don’t take anything away from me anymore. I’ll become a killer to protect my members and our fans.. God, please help me, and listen to my prayers. 

From now on, I’ll fight to protect my people. Lord.. Please forgive me for having such bad thoughts and acting badly for a bit.. as much as I believe in you, believe in me.. and I will work to clear the blame of the singers who are being unfairly blamed. Amen..

What happened?

[sergel]

I wonder what happened, but it is concerning. In the least, he's very unhappy.

[Kanonno]

I hope he does reveal js.

[cyberloser]

Stuff's been building up for a while now. I think he fired the first shot on ZE:A's day with this speech:

 

 

Our ZE:A… Mmm… Kwanghee, Hyungsik, Dongjun, Siwan, they’re really popular… ZE:A isn’t just 4 members… It was hard gathering all 9 of us together and it has been about 8 years since we’ve practiced together. To be honest, everyone, please don’t hate on SE. SE which has caused hardship for our members… WE want to buy it and form a new company under the name “ZE:Aâ€. If it’s weird and won’t work out, I’ll just buy over our boss now can I? In that way, everyone can listen to the (our) music which you guys love. But there’s something which you guys have to do: protect us in order for us to continue in the future. You guys know what I mean, right? It’s achievable, right? Also, please don’t hate on SE too much.

To be honest I myself have hated SE… (Fans giggling) Yeah, I’ve hated SE, but we talked thing out. They’re people who help us and not ones who bring us pain. So, I’ve talked to the boss a lot. Also… What kind of idol stands up here and grabs the mic and says that he hates his own company now, who does that? There isn’t right? It needs a person with confidence now why? We have our remaining 8 members and our fans are powerful and tough, no? The people here, even if there’s only one person who meets my eye (makes eye contact with me), I’ll continue singing (for that person). Now everyone, you can’t hate on SE ok? If you guys fight with SE, we can’t sing. You know what I mean right? I won’t say thing again in the future and from now, I’ll show my crazy side on stage.

 

 

He seemed to lose his temper on twitter last week. He was upset about Taeheon being in hospital. They had to leave him in Korea because they had schedules in Japan. It's seems that he was replying to a fan that criticised him - he threatened to leave the group and he told the fan to come to their show, because it would be the last time ZE:A would perform together.

 

k-fans tweeted some supportive messages to him, told him to rest etc. The performance seemed to go well and when he came back, he replied to the fan, thanking her for her apology and promised to stay as ZE:A leader.

[Guitargeekette]

He tweeted not too long ago...and it was translated

 

 

“Portal sites, I’m so disappointed. Don’t take down the searched terms and please keep up ‘Moon Junyoung,’ ‘ZE:A,’ ‘Star Empire Mistreatment,’ ‘CEO Shin Joo Hak truth,’ so the public will know. If you have sons like me, please do it. We can’t have another victim… If you act like this, I’m going to reveal my first round.

I’m.. asking you. Other people, other agencies, once you are on Star Empire’s side, I’ll reveal those companies’ wrongdoings as well.. Don’t get hurt in this.. Don’t get involved in other countries’ war. If you can handle it, use your money then. That’s your specialty. But this is the truth.â€

Y'all...this is not a drill.

It's unsettling. I think he's at the point where he knows what's at stake...and he feels desperate enough to go through with this anyway.

That means whatever the issue is, it's not petty...

Happy belated 2,000th day to ZE:A!

 

 

Yesterday was a very special day for ZE:A!

 

You may be thinking, "A comeback?" "A win on a music show?" The answers to the above questions are "No" and "No." Well, you probably already guessed from the title...but it was ZE:A's 2,000th day yesterday. In plain English, it just means it has been around five and a half years since the group debuted! 

 

On ZE:A's official Twitter, individual photos of the group were uploaded with each member holding up peace signs with the caption, "ZE:A's 2,000th day! ZE:A'S thank you always." 

 

Let's wish the boys a happy belated 2,000th and continued success in the future!

Kwanghee shares the stage with G-Dragon and Taeyang on 'Infinity Challenge'

 

 

On this week's episode of 'Infinity Challenge,' the variety show continued their 'Mask Music Festival.' While last week revealed the festival's artist contestants, this week had the 'Infinity Challenge' members performing in order to win the hearts of the contestants. 

 

During the broadcast, Kwanghee showed off his dance and vocal talents, even sharing the stage with G-Dragon and Taeyang. This comes as no surprise that he would perform with them as on prior episodes of 'Infinity Challenge,' Kwanghee had expressed his love and affection for Big Bang. After performing his passionate version of "Bang Bang Bang," G-Dragon was asked how he felt about Kwanghee's performance to which he stated, "I liked the passion and energy he had but he looked liked one of my father's friends who had drank alcohol."

 

Check out Kwanghee's wacky performance above!
