HvD 3,431 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hello moonROK Readers, First of all, thank you so much for your support in our first few days of launch. I cannot believe how many people are visiting the site, and it is such a gratifying feeling to see that you are all loving it as much as the moonROK team hoped that you would. I am writing you today to remind you of our mission and of our goals as a company. Our mission is to bring you closer to the music, the artists, and the culture that you love. Our goal is to be the world's premier source of K-pop news and entertainment. I refuse to accomplish either our mission or our goal by attempting to boost traffic with gossip. I have personally deleted the article detailing the rumors and gossip surrounding Choiza's wallet allegedly being found by a netizen. I refuse to reinforce or encourage the behavior of the netizen who thoughtlessly and cruelly uploaded the picture of the wallet. If SM Entertainment or Amoeba Culture confirm any facts on the matter, I assure you that we will publish an article detailing news and only the news - not rumors. I hope that you, our readers, understand and respect moonROK's decision to not participate in gossip. At the end of the day we aim to be a news site with integrity, and we refuse to sacrifice that integrity for the sake of traffic numbers. Thank you for your time and for your support. Sincerely, Hannah WaittmoonROK Founder & Editor-in-chief Source: http://www.moonroknews.com/news/statement-founder ---------------------------------------------------------------- They have just earned my utmost respect. I highly recommend K-pop fans around the world to support the newly launched K-pop news site, 'moonROK'.

Property of Goddess Irene 9,760 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 A lot of those 'rumors' are eventually found out to be true. And this is just a marketing tactic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudeki 991 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 90% of the kpop news is gossip. Companies never confirm anythig until days afterward when the dust has already settled. Scandals are part of the news, part of the realitty of kpop and a huge part of idol lifestyle. Not discussing it just means people are going to look for it somewhere else.

timpa 6,547 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 If something has a Korean news source I think it's the duty of any k-pop english site to translate it and spread it along to be honest. You're supposed to be informing English-speaking fans of what's going on in the Korean entertainment world, not censoring stuff from them IMO.

That unless an official News site reports on it they won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
