Youtube comments of E M (@em5522).

  1. The fact that this is a family affair, with the whole family having fun with it, is probably my favorite aspect of this whole thing.
    2700
  2. Hearing a sleepy saranghaeyo from Mr. World-wide Handsome~ My heart~ ☆♡☆♡☆♡☆
    2400
  3. I was so proud to see RM of BTS give his speech. The messages of self-love and self-acceptance has been topics the group has been well-documented to contending with for years, and it's astounding to see how far they've come from where they started. Korea's idol industry is no joke and the societal pressures that are placed on these youths are something many westerners might not really appreciate. I have much respect for the kids who undergo such heavy mental and physical pressures just for a chance to achieve their dreams. Seeing such a group, who truly came from the bottom and are reaching the top, turn around and use their platform to spread positivity and support to others around the world makes me believe that our future isn't such a bleak thing. A few people just proved that they are able to touch the hearts of millions and make a change for the better. Much thanks to BTS and ARMYs for spreading love and putting their words to action! ☆♡☆

  4. It's frustrating that she has a point: if she doesn't keep putting up a "fuss" abt getting harassed by the police now, things most likely would end up worse for her in the future. It's truly disgusting that this is happening to her.
    2100
  5. Being for a party used to mean being for its values, not just a person. That's the sort of thing that leads to cults.
    1800
  6. Different but the boys still killed it!!! ☆♡☆ Three cheers for their performance! Hope Jk and Jimin get well soon and give themselves proper time to heal~ (Kookie certainly didn't like to stay still, huh ^^;)
    1100
  7. I feel for all their fans who looked up to them, but I'm way more concerned for the victims in this and the light it shines on the mistreatment of women and their rights as people. They're the ones who deserve justice.

  8. So this was filmed during the BTS concert at Wembley? It was so cool so see one of those bookstores! The man gave some great feedback. I hope the new team does well ☆♡☆

  9. It was an incredible concert. I loved it when the fans sang the songs and fanchants. BTS really knows how to put on a performance. They really stepped up their game (how many times have I said that before? I lose count) and they sounded even better than ever. Hope fans have fun tonight too~ ☆♡☆

  10. Small correction: World Music Awards verified and Variety confirmed that YouTube officially states that Dynamite hit 101.1M in 24h. Congratulations BTS and ARMYs (and everyone else who participated in reaching this achievement) 👏👏👏🥳💜

  11. She's the model every designer wanted.
    362
  12. I'm a bit weirded out how the general reaction to this case is treated like some average celebrity scandal, like having an affair, rather than the atrocity that it is. It shouldn't be a matter of being more careful and considering one's position, these were intentional crimes directed to the complete disregard of human rights. These are just horrible people doing horrible things and those involved should be punished.
    333
  13. I'm just so happy that she went into this prepared and willing to marry into a family. I've seen quite a few horror stories (as well as lived my own) of step-parents who weren't into the "parenting" part of marrying a person who already had kids. It can be a disaster, honestly. All the best to this family!
    314
  14. The songs were just golden
    312
  15. Wow, Jimin grew that beard quick~ "°0°" and Jin is just so extra! I ♡ it! XDD But I hope Jimin and JK heal up well ;_; It's awesome that Whoopi really appreciates what our boys are doing too ^^
    267
  16. This is the only "real-life" drama I'd want to watch.
    238
  17. I mean, why are we even caring abt what a bunch of consenting adults are doing if it's not illegal? Get back to me if there's an actual crime taking place, pls.
    189
  18. (Shows pic of Van Ba) Me: hmm, Vietnamese? "He later went by Ho Chi Minh" Me, Vietnamese-American: 👁 👄 👁
    168
  19. I quite liked how this one was told. Didn't expect the turns it made: first a dream, then a cautionary tale, then a history of a collection of tales, then an inspiration for a later famous tale (though I did suspect that last one).
    166
  20. I think your reasoning of why it's called "deviled" is most accurate out the bunch. It really is wicked how I can easily eat a whole platter of them but my limit is usually just 2 eggs in any other form 😅
    159
  21.  @merrittanimation7721  For some people
    156
  22. Whenever there's a mandatory service law in place, then yes.
    156
  23. Kind of misleading title. It seems like the victim was a runaway drug mule rather than a normal tourist.
    143
  24. This was a whole clown show. A room full of only clowns. Reposting: How were nwjns invited and not a grp like OmegaX, who were literally making headlines for having some of the most horrendous company abuse going on in the industry!? And weren't other grps starved/beaten by their execs and didn't others (like LOONA) even take their company to court for mistreatment? Like, what kind of message is this Assembly sending to have this be the face of idol company abuse and not more clear and well-known cases??? Are they purposefully trying to downplay mistreatment idols have faced? On top of this, Hanni is openly supporting an executive who has also been accused BY THE VICTIM for company abuse involving s3xual harassment. I'm not against her speaking out against mistreatment she suffered, but it comes off as iffy and demeaning to the way more serious company abuses that have been exposed that the NA gave her this platform over others, who have openly had way worse situations than what she's bringing up. And I'm disgusted by the politicians who allowed this farce to take place, treat it like a circus, and take airtime away from workers who came bc they have had way worse grievances to air, including those cases where employees actually passed away bc of clear company neglect/abuse.
    129
  25. Look at that. Peer pressure works on government. Now, pressure them to give more funds to the schools.
    128
  26. Interesting insight on the BTS' and Bighit's brand and net-worth.
    125
  27. I hope BTS's success will open more eyes to the recognition of Asian entertainment.
    118
  28. There's an argument I like that says this play was meant to be a satiric reflection on the "ideals" of society during Shakespeare's days and of how actually far from reality those ideals tend to be. Idk if that was part of the actually point of the play, but I thought the argument fit pretty well regardless. I mean, you have Bianca, who represents the general view of an ideal maiden, but isn't. Katharine is the general depiction of a shrew but is also the only one with a sane head and her turning is more jarring. Petruchio, a man who plays more as the comic relief or fool, all bound in squalor and an inability to control himself as anything near a proper "gentleman," despite being the main love interest and de facto "hero" of the story. Bianca's suitors, who are "upright" gentlemen in the eyes of society, but don't amount to much more than Petruchio at their core,... I can go on.
    116
  29. Hope his travels are safe and his journey is a good experience. And good for ARMYs over there who will be able to see him perform.
    114
  30. This is just tragic and should never have happened. She deserved better.
    104
  31. So, the court agreed that she had clear intent to betray Hybe but granted the injunction bc Hybe couldn't show that she clearly acted on said intent? So, should Hybe have let her cause harm first and not conduct their audit? I suppose Hybe will just be choking her out by replacing Ador's directors in the upcoming meeting. If they or the police investigation can't find clear evidence of breach of trust, then I wonder if they'll restructure Ador to keep mhj as a figurehead until her contract runs out (if they don't terminate her and pay the fees).

  32. ​ @brandanberg1716  he saw internet as a thing

  33. This is just making miss Yoongi and he didn't even go anywhere.
    89
  34. I did read Beowulf in high school but it was one of the few required readings that everyone actually liked.
    86
  35. Just 5yrs! Wtf!? And where are the charges/arrest for the higher ups involved? it's disgusting that the perpetrators are living without any real consequences.
    86
  36. Congrats to BTS and Coldplay for their #1 on BB Hot100 and 200 and on Rolling Stones! The 'My Universe' MV is simply out of this world! Kudos to the production team for such a good job too!
    84
  37. I hope Jimin and JK get time to meet up with family and friends in their hometown. And can't wait to see fancams of the event! ☆♡☆
    79
  38. Tae and Jose. Jose has his whole YT channel mostly dedicated to BTS. He's been active for a couple years now.
    72
  39. Proud of these ARMYs. Whatever happens, we will always support BTS, first and foremost. We just want the guys to be able to live their lives without ppl dragging their names for their own agendas.
    66
  40. I need to ask: why is the Democratic Party involving themselves in a kpop issue? And not only that, but hyperfocusing on it so publicly that they are literally putting it above the country's very real issues that are much more dire? I mean, there are even more pressing issues in the same industry that have been made public and they have been accused of cover-up for, but yet, they're still ignoring what happened to the poor MBC reporter, Oh Yoanna (rest in peace), when there's clear and public evidence of her being abused by MBC. It's weird and shady behavior from these politicians to utilize their positions to prioritize smt as inconsequential as this while they ignore greater issues their country is facing.
    66
  41. Congratulations to Hobi and Namjoon! ☆♡☆ As a personal opinion, I believe that if the soldier wants to fight for her country, she should be allowed to. I wonder about the legislative intent about the law surrounding discharging someone for "self-mutilation," because it seems like it's treating this as a disorder if there isn't a connected incident to set up a legal precedent.
    62
  42. Happy birthday to the best leader in the world! RM really is an impressive speaker. 💜💜💜 I'm so proud that they chose to perform Anpanman, of all their songs, too. BTS, you nice, keep going~ 🤗💜🥰
    58
  43. That everyone stood up and rocked out to their performance and gave them a standing ovation will at least mean that they'll be getting more mainstream popularity among fellow celebs. But they def don't need grammy to be popular among the gp! Let's get ready for Boracity~ 💜
    58
  44. All the best to them during their service. We'll wait for them to return as a full grp. I'll look forward to supporting their upcoming solo projects (like the one Jin announced during their Busan concert) and also their past works (solo and grp) too 💜 Thanks for the courteous shout-out and well wishes, GMA!
    57
  45. I see comments misunderstanding, but the soldier is a trans woman. She/her is correct.
    57
  46.  @borapobangpo  I know. It's a shame, because while Top Social Artist show how popular they are in terms of fans (which is still a big deal), Top Duo/Group showcase their success in the global music market. An impartial agency has to judge that outcome.
    57
  47. True, I feel the same as a reader with those stories that have such ridiculously incompetent figures of authority. But then history will tell me that yeah, this is plausible.
    57
  48. Ngl, these type of political parties showing trash behavior is pretty much what I expect from them. I'd be more surprised if they could actually hold an ounce of shame or common sense.
    55
  49. Ngl, with how intense the education system and job environment are, I'm personally for the notion that if you can afford to and need to take a rest or break, then take one.
    54
  50. I wonder if he might actually be more familiar with stranger rhino behavior than stranger hippo behavior since he was introduced more often to new rhinos than new hippos.
    53
  51. Personally, whatever happens with this issue, I hope they'll all be together, but I'll still support them come what may. ☆♡☆ Edit: But they do deserve to be offered to exempt even if they don't take it.
    53
  52. "Cite your sources or admit you don't have any!" -Red, 2021 Yes, yes to this, so much.
    52
  53. ​ @leoribic1691 her and Lady Catherine were the most snobbish as far as I recall. I remember Bingley as being nice to a fault.
    52
  54.  @shuangshuangguo  Okay, thanks! (makes sense, twitter can be a dark place). I was scrolling through here and wondering where the "toxic ARMYs" were too.
    52
  55. Issues like these need to be given light in order for people to talk about them. Hopefully, this will help in spreading awareness and change for the better.
    52
  56. Just wanted to point out that BTS has 2 fan-voting categories and 2 professional-voting categories. So fans can only vote for Best Collab and Best Kpop
    52
  57. Yeah, I saw Namjoon struggling to not completely reject her dream outright too and I suspect for the same reasons as you stated. As someone from that industry, encouraging her had the potential of placing her future on his shoulders, which is an unreasonable burden on him. And really, if she had a true conviction to continue, she wouldn't let what they say stop her. It's something she'd have to get used to anyways in that industry.
    51
  58. It's not an OMO video without an Erin joke 😂
    51
  59. This guy has been raising tons of red flags all the way from his campaign. Not even surprised how corrupt he is, but his voters/supporters need to take a good, long, hard look at themselves and ask what kind of ppl they are for supporting that man after so much has already come out abt him early on (mind you, this is the same for a lot of countries' leaders these days).
    50
  60. BTS and Halsey has been such a wonderful team-up! ☆♡☆
    48
  61. BTS! 💜👑 They'll always be #1 for me. I'm actually more surprised that I ended up knowing every group on this list. So, I'll agree with the list 👍
    48
  62. I think both should be looked into. The building should ensure its sprinklers are maintained, but the sprinklers didn't cause the car to explode. That should be looked into as a separate matter.
    47
  63. It's insane that the higher ups involved have never been prosecuted for this. Idt (cmiiw) the police, themselves, ever faced proper scrutiny from their known involvement.
    47
  64. Woo! Can't wait to see KN's vid for Wembley~ ☆♡☆
    46
  65. This report isn't very thoroughly done. You didn't mention anything about the statement by the shirt's designer of the meaning of the shirt being a portrayal of the tragic events that led to Korea's freedom from imperial Japan. Or Asian culture and dark history of WW2, which was different than what the west suffered and is largely unfamiliar to most westerners (as ironically evident by that rabbi's statement; "basic lack of knowledge of history's darkest chapters" indeed).
    44
  66. That's true. I somewhat feel the celebrity aspect to the case overshadows the whole police and government official corruption. I mean, it might just be me, but I don't see that part of it being highlighted as much.
    43
  67. Hopefully, this spill also doesn't take 10yrs to clean. Shout out to the volunteers!
    41
  68. Why tf did he think this was okay at all? What has he done to kids before this to even believe this behavior is normal/acceptable??
    39
  69. I hope, one day, the entire truth comes out about this whole family before I pass.

  70. Korea Now: BTS is going on a 2 month break RM: hold my crabs

  71.  @vulovulo6401  People have been saying that since 2014 and now they're the biggest kpop group around and the greatest boy band today.

  72. After hearing Jonah Hill is her ideal man, I don't think she was lying about being flustered around Saeho.

  75. That's terrible, and he was so young. Condolences to his loved ones. He went too soon.
    37
  76. The artist already issued an "apology" letter... well, he denounced any claims of plagiarism, at least. Source: https://www.soompi.com/article/1318558wpp/french-artist-issues-statement-about-claims-of-bts-being-inspired-by-his-work-says-he-considers-it-a-tribute-not-plagiarism
    37
  77. Honestly, with just Daechwita and Haegeum, Yoongi has done so much with bringing Korean culture and history to mainstream awareness. And I have yet to see any kpop stage top or match BTS's 2018 MMA 'Idol' performance in terms of such intricate and rich integrations of Korean culture/tradition, and esp on such a large scale stage. Truly, an iconic moment.
    37
  78. Is it really whining when she just goes on a killing-madness inducing rampage? It's not like she's just complaining to others about it. Could of saved a few lives if all she did was whine.
    36
  79. ​ @leteflondondu92  eh, if they're all consenting adults and not doing anything illegal (and also, they're unrelated to me), then it's not my business.
    34
  80. Oh, that's a fearsom thought. To imagine that something like all those Y/N works in wattpad could be one day be used by future generations to study the culture and society of today. (°-°)
    33
  81. COPPA, scratching at the window: I heard your screams
    33
  82. This is the problem with World-History-as-told-by-western-society, they tend to completely downplay/overlook Asian histories to the point that they sometimes depict themselves as the "most historically tragic victims in history," while disregarding that every country had tragedies that are comparable or even worse. Not trying to negate tragedies, but just saying that slavery and colonization weren't only western problems.
    32
  83. My heart goes out to the people who lost someone in that tragic ferry incident. I hope nothing like that will happen again.
    32
  84. "Part of Drake's appeal is the fact that he's #1" Bandwagon fans are so annoying, esp if you're in that popular fandom bc you actually like whatever it is bc of its good qualities. Bandwagon fans push only for records and numbers and don't even join in the deeper discussions, which wouldn't be too bad if not for how toxic they get to any non-fans, not even haters, but anyone who says they're not a fan. Irony in all this is that Kendrick getting this dub is likely going to bring those on the bandwagon to him now, and they WILL be unbearable and make everyone hate Kendrick fans, regardless of how good Kendrick is. It might even be worse bc Kendrick is good at what he does.

  85. The sky isn't even a limit to them~ ☆♡☆

  86. I feel the Avengers analogy doesn't really work because each individual Avenger's movie was just that, about the individual. But aren't all these guys from groups? They aren't the star while the rest are just backgrounds, right? The analogy just feels like it's putting down those members who weren't picked to be part of this :\ I hope these guys get a good experience out of this, but I do feel for fans who worry that this will disrupt the works of the original groups or that the original groups won't have priority over this new group. But if those worries become unfounded, then that's good.
    28
  87. It boggles my mind why there aren't more "advanced" countries handling this like SK. There's been more than enough time for preparations for this. Inexcusable!
    27
  88. When the world ends, we'll really have no one to blame but ourselves.
    27
  89. What was the point of that? The accusation was never followed through and never brought up again, and now, the artist even wrote a letter denouncing any claims of plagiarism, so there's no case. Seriously, what was the point of that!?
    27
  90. This is what I'm thinking. It's like BH saw Disney and said, "I could that."
    27
  91. Just want to give a shout out to J-Hope's outfit because it slays /♡//♡/
    27
  92.  @ivyinkwell1754  So, you're into theocracy, monarchy, and motharchy?
    27
  93. Looks like this segment didn't stay for later after the performance, because ARMYs did clean up and tweeted receipts! P♡rple ARMYs! ☆♡☆ I mean, that wasn't random trash. There were chairs, backpacks, clothes.... the bags were what they used to cover themselves from the rain. They probably left items under it so no one would steal anything.
    26
  94. Tbf, there are many who've claimed to have studied the Bible yet miss out on so much in it.
    26
  95. Condolences to her family, friends, fans, and other loved ones. She's a beautiful soul and touched many hearts.
    26
  96. How are ppl supposed to have trust in their government, military, or justice system if they don't hold murderers and abusers accountable?
    26
  97. Hasn't everywhere gone down tho? Results show Hybe still performing best among all kpop companies, with the Big3 dropping significantly more than Hybe has.
    25
  98. Bye, Red 😔
    25
  99.  @thequad8945  Oh, I heard about that. Totally legit. My uncle's boss's wife's best friend's daughter told my nephew that the location is about 500km east of my general location at all times. So, go that way.
    24
  100. I've learned that anything naturally colorful in nature is more than likely going to be extremely deadly.
    24
  101. Put it that way (haven't watched the ep yet), sounds to me that what she has is an all-day job and NOT a marriage. If she put out her frustrations and he's not willing to seriously listen and compromise, then he's not really a husband, more like a client or a boss.
    24
  102.  @aarzughausia32  BH released a statement saying that he couldn't perform or attend practices for a week during this time so he could recover from ear surgery.

  103.  Dionysus  I hope I never become as petty and narrow-minded as you are.
    23
  104. Argentina showed out! Hope ARMYs there cheer extra during Jin's part for the rest of us who can't attend. And pls stay safe, guys~ 💜
    23
  105. No, but seriously, not just why didn't they send more ppl sooner after being informed hours beforehand, but what did the police even do after getting those calls?
    23
  106. Medjed is a Smiter god who shoots from his eyes (I'm guessing how he smites). Sounds more we need to run if he ever look our way.
    23
  107. All condolences go out to SK and those who've lost their loved ones in this tragedy.
    22
  108. Omg, I did NOT expect Halsey ~ 《(°◇° )》[☆□☆]>♡
    22
  109. This makes me rethink the meaning of Young Tak's Jinniyah "Jin jin jin jin jinniyah wanjeon jinniyah~"

  110. Oh, so this is Kazuya Minekura's Saiyuki version of Journey to the West then?

  113. I'm kind of surprise some of these new rules weren't already rules before.
    21
  114. Ngl, it does sound like it, esp the hopping from one house party to the next. It was definitely a shock for me when I went to my first frat party, and the grp I was with basically went from one fraternity to the next bc one was always starting when another died down. The only way I was able to get back to my dorm was by abandoning my grp to catch a ride with some dormmates I came across who were headed back. It was 4am by then, and I swore off ever going to another of these things.
    20
  115.  @EE-ie9gm  I would say that killing for the sake of one's own survival is vastly different from torturing a creature to death for the lulz.
    20
  116. I'm so happy for them 😭💜
    20
  117. Not even pre-orders, but pure sales. King behavior, indeed. 🤩💜

  118. That's great that they were rescued. I'm hope they all get home okay too! No surprise that BTS are beauty trendsetters ☆♡☆
    19
  119. ​@crystal2484 didn't you consider why they went public with it? Apparently, she wasn't complying with their attempts at doing things privately, so they had to make it public by conducting an audit. Of course, this is all allegations, so who knows who is telling the truth.
    19
  120. Love learning about Korean culture/history/traditions. And also, what the heck, China? 🤨
    19
  121. ​ @hweheheh tbf, that was after and separate from all this.
    18
  122. Men like this are sick. I hope that she is able to get the help and support she needs to recover from this.

  123. The "peep this" got me 😂
    18
  124. It would be nice if he could use his presence, even with the lack of direct political influence, to help smooth out relations between Korea and Japan, if even a little. But I guess, we'll have to wait and see.
    18
  125. @DCED I figured the competition between Corona and Bud Light could be extreme, but this is taking it too far
    18
  126. Thanks for the thoughtful questions, BBC! ♡ BTS
    18
  127. Congrats to BTS! Vmas are problematic but BTS are kings regardless.
    18
  128. 1:27 is literally "tonbi ni abura-age wo sarawareru," which is a Japanese proverb that translates to "the black kite (bird) snatches one's fried tofu" and is used to describe when someone else takes credit for the work you did or takes smt that should belong to you.
    18
  129. BTS keep making history! 💜 congrats to them~ They deserve it 🥺
    18
  130. magicskyfairy69 I see she was a little too on the nose for you, huh. Otherwise, why be offended at the truth?
    18
  131. Congrats to Jin and Jungkook! They've done so well~ 💜
    18
  132. Hmm, not giving BTS their due respect but still trying to use their name to save the mess the gov created? Let's work out how these ppl have the audacity first.
    17
  133. Congrats BTS! Can't wait for August 21! 💜🤗
    17
  134. That's some wild delusion of grandeur.
    17
  135. ​@Rosso_J tbf, it's not like everyone knows that (seeing that being news to some ppl from cmmts too). Yoongi didn't, but he should be held responsible for whatever machines he uses, which he is. So since no one and nothing was hurt and Yoongi received the proper punishment without fuss, there's nothing more to do except hope he learns from this to do better next time.
    17
  136. I mean, tbf, this does protect the artist too if anything negative went on at these site. The artist (whose image/name is most prominently shown) would likely be unfairly associated, or worse, blamed, if smt controversial were to happen, even tho they and their company have no control over the sites or may have no knowledge of them in the first place. And imagine if sm1 were to use their IP for smt intentionally controversial/radical, and the company only took action after the fact. That'd be even more disastrous.
    17
  137. ​ @tedkim7347  spitting everything except defenses to her actual criminal allegations. And all while dragging idols into a corporate feud just to cover herself.

  138. It's hard, especially for foreign fans, who are usually unfamiliar with some of the Korean-based answers (such as locations in Korea). Or with some of the parts that require you to know or be familiar with the Korean language, especially if the sources for the answer haven't been translated.
    16
  139. Except I sort of saw Sian's character to be more like Harry at the end there.
    16
  140. I really hope Hybe's new gg will do well! I look forward to seeing their debut concepts and the members, themselves 😆
    16
  141.  @Traumatised311  I'm sorry, but I'm legitimately confused as to why being asexual means you can't have kids. I mean, there are ways for ace's to have kids without sex, and even then, being asexual doesn't mean you can't have sex at all. You can still do it to get pregnant or get someone else pregnant; it's not like asexuality means you're infertile/sterile. I don't mean to offend. Just am confused.
    16
  142. I took RM's lyrics more as "if the shoe fits..." type of thing and could be for anyone (esp with how ppl have been coming after them recently; there are a lot of potential targets).
    16
  143. Tbf, rather than saying he "finally got around" to rescuing them, it sounded like even sailing up to the island was difficult, so it was a feat just to get an effective rescue to the island at all. There's nothing to say that the guy was just dawdling around in his rescue attempts. He was only part of the last rescue attempt. And it was the French gov who delayed the rescue for so many yrs in the first place by rejecting rescue for around a decade. Still agree that the island should've been named after the ppl who were living there, tho.

  144. For those who may not understand, child predators and people dealing in the sexual exploitation of minors don't survive long in US prisons. It's a general unspoken thing that prisoners, themselves, don't tolerate those types at all.
    16
  145. ​ @jennifervaughn1541  woah, that's messed up, ngl. This guy is being sentenced for a violent crime, so shouldn't public interest/safety trump defamation?
    16
  146.  @zhess4096  Has he sang or talked to any animal sidekicks?
    16
  147. Wonder which company will be in a rush to claim copyright for Kookie's creations this time.
    16
  148. Really glad to hear that Tae's has been surrounded by nice ppl while enlisted. I'm also so excited to see Jimin and Jungkook on a trip! These two are such a fun duo~ RM is such a sweet brother; I'd love to visit the cafe! And all the best for Jin in France 💜
    15
  149. This was a nice interview~ Their English has come a long way. Special shout-out to JK, Hobi, and Jimin on that front.~ ☆♡☆ I see you guys!
    15
  150. This is going to be epic! 💜
    15
  151. I was kind of hoping he'd be "JaMarcus" again.
    15
  152. He can't help it. No one can contain the HOPE! Yeah, that was really cute.
    15
  153. BTS were class acts throughout the whole thing. They deserve all the respect for how much they've accomplished. And ARMY will be helping BTS make even bigger impacts for the future. 💜
    15
  154. Can't wait for the fan vlogs after the show! The ones for the Rose Bowl were amazing~ ☆♡☆
    15
  155. The D-Day tour was legendary, esp at the end when we got to see everyone for a hot second. All the best to Yoongi on his journey. Hope he stays healthy and safe. He did amazing~ Also so happy to see that Jin and Hobi seem to be doing well (despite that horrendous nurse incident). Hope they can complete their service safely! 💜
    15
  156. Kind of weird how one of their points is they wanted to keep themselves at a distance from all things Hybe (unless it's for money or clout, of course), and then they complain when Hybe maintains that distance.
    15
  157. Happy to see trans rights are being more accepted!
    15
  158. This is really the only right answer.
    15
  159. Truly, they're legends (lejins) of this generation. So proud 💜

  167.  @jiminlove6753  Please, stop. Why are getting this deep onto someone's spelling in a youtube comment? If it bothers you, just ignore it.
    14
  168. I did notice that ad during their performance. It was pretty cool that there was a fan ad and a company ad playing at the same time during their stage.
    14
  169. Congrats to BTS! Breaking records left and right~ ☆♡☆
    14
  170. This is seriously scary bc imagine if she had the intentions to hurt him. But she was easily able to breach protocols in the military and even had help from another personnel!? What are they going to do to actually prevent this from happening again? Ppl say they should be treated like normal but what normal person has to worry constantly abt this? And this after a series of recent news abt BTS's privacy being invaded too.
    14
  171. Yeah, that made me really uncomfortable. His whole "guys are all naturally horny" reason sounded too much like an excuse for men who act like slime.
    14
  172. Oooh, nice! Congrats to Director Joon Ho Bong! ☆♡☆
    13
  173. No worries, we are. It's too secular to Korea anyways for I-Lovelies to get caught up with.
    13
  174. No, the way korean media reacts to sa scandals is appalling. There tends to be little to no trending coverage for these cases. There was barely any for this until victims went to international news outlets, and last I checked, naver trends are only now showing ppl paying attention (but coverage is still sparse).
    13
  175. Seyeon deserves the biggest apology from all the netizens being gross to her and saying she was selling herself when the pic of her and bsh came out. She was delivering justice against a cyberwrecker and even took a hybe employee impersonator to jail, yet ppl decided to show their misogyny big time against her instead.
    13
  176. I agree and I like this decision, bc it sets the movie as being from the main awareness/focus of Marie and probably what she'd likely mostly focus on in her day-to-day life. It's like how ppl now are definitely aware of global atrocities going on in the world, even problems going on in their own communities, but most ppl tend to have only enough mental energy to be mostly focused on and prioritize what's going on in their own lives.
    13
  177. Ironic how mhj stans are salivating and twisting words to get JK's validation when just recently, they were calling him and BTS cult members and chart frauds. I appreciate JK standing up for artists, but I would've rather he be more direct and clear since he wants to address a serious issue.
    13
  178. Congrats to Jimin and all the best to RM~ Can't wait for Hobi to return 🥹 ARMY support ARMY! 🫶💜🥈
    13
  179. Congrats to the Korean fencing team! 🇰🇷🏅 BTS has the Midas touch~ 💜
    13
  180. It's because she's being obviously manipulative. It's not that people are looking down on her for relying on a child, but that she even brought this up in the first place to use as a shield for herself that is problematic. If she really cared about those girls, she would've left them out of this whole mess as much as possible instead of forcing a bunch of kids to be publicly backed into choosing a side. She clearly came out to sway public opinion, so she comes off as fake.
    13
  181. This girl would make JK proud ^^ But seriously, I'm so amazed by her. P♡rple this incredible girl! ☆♡☆ Hope she gets to meet BTS ~
    13
  182. This album was just so much fun to unpack. Namjoon went into his bag for this is expanding and exploring his musical creativity and I just adore the MVs we got from it. I need to look into the lyrics more to choose my favs (Nuts and Groin are def contenders), but Lost, Around the World, Domodachi, and Groin are probably the standouts, sonically, for me.
    13
  183. Some ppl need to learn and appreciate boundaries and consent. Come on!
    13
  184. Congrats to them! Let's give this our all!
    13
  185.  @heidi7905  Oh, luna...
    13
  186.  @leahochii  Not to mention the blacklisting, embezzlement, and other abuses of power. She's not a victim in anything. She was a corrupt government official in every sense.
    12
  187. It wasn't a smart move, but it was good that Yoongi took accountability straight up. Very glad no one was hurt, and please take care in the future!
    12
  188.  @ginnayyyy  I wonder if the camera actually made him more tense than he would've been for his trial run.
    12
  189. Hybe already stated it was going to do more artist indirect-involvement business a long time ago. Things like these games, webtoons, kdramas, etc. that have the artists' name without their full involvement shouldn't come as a surprise. Sure, they could make content match the artists better, but obviously, the company will go into avenues where they don't need to limit themselves. Plus, the artist still gets their promo and coins while not having to unnecessarily expend time/energy on creating more and varied content, but they're still able to profit from it all the same. I'd understand any backlash if this was hurting the artists' image or if done without their consent or done in a way that fools the consumers, but I'm not seeing any of that happening here. No one's forcing anyone to buy anything (heck, the webtoon is actually free!). And no one is being forced to consume anything either. You don't need to go into any of these things to properly enjoy the artists' music.
    12
  190. Jin is beautiful inside and out.
    12
  191. I'm so sorry
    12
  192. This is why I'd like to see companies develop smt to curb needless mass purchasing of albums (like have a digital sale that let's you buy the photocard), but I want that ALONG WITH selling physical albums bc fans, like me, actually do want the cds too.
    12
  193. Except that the court agreed that mhj had clear intent to betray Hybe first. So, ig they can celebrate supporting a snake.
    12
  194.  @fredfry5100  I thought Oolong had enough development in Dragon Ball to at least see some similarities in personalities to Pigsy.
    12
  195. RM 💜 Jimin 💜 It was a good interview 👍
    12
  196. Congrats to vminhope! Deserve all the recognition 💜
    12
  197. Idk, I thought a couple of these shots were pretty good (like the staircase ones or the black/green one at 0:51). But while I don't find much problems with using historic sites in my area as backdrops for photoshoots, as long as they treat the sites respectfully, it's up to the person/gov agency in charge of the sites, esp those locals, to decide if this should be okay.
    12
  198. You're right. Safe to say that any women who has the misfortune to see it would think all your junk is hilarious.
    12
  199. Naeun's dad bragging that she likes him better than BTS (^□^)/"
    12
  200. It disgusts me how all of these perpetrators involved essentially have suffered no real repercussions for any of the the shit they did. And still, the more higher ups have not even suffered any from their actions at all.
    12
  201. I know our Muslim-ARMY are very excited and I hope this is a great concert! ☆♡☆ I'm choosing to be optimistic about this move by SA. These reform efforts may also give chances to break down some of the more concerning conservative practices in SA and, in turn, may allow for more awareness on middle eastern culture beyond the stereotypes.
    11
  202. Can't wait for the next phase of the MCU! Will be looking forward to seeing Don Lee's Gilgamesh! ☆♡☆
    11
  203. Glad you shared the so-called "plagiarized" part bc this was such a reach that it felt like sm1 was trying to use it to chase clout. Honestly felt like the accusation was trying to trick ppl into looking up and listen to the other song. And didn't the guy who made the game's music also deny the whole Butter accusation?
    11
  204. I've always wanted to see an actual bolt from the blue. Though the idiom definitely wouldn't mean the same anymore if that were to happen.
    11
  205. Oooh, it's a shame I can't go to South Korea for it. Hope everyone who does takes lots of videos!
    11
  206.  @joshpeach7134  They did try to get him but his alibis ended up checking out (he was at a union meeting during one extortion attempt and with some lawyers during another attempt).
    11
  207. True, I was so confused abt what sexual attraction was, like whether or not it just meant ppl had fetishes and this was a more socially acceptable way to view it.
    11
  208. He made a new deal? Right. Suuuuurrreee, he did. Sounds like he was puffing up that previous agreement to the press if he wasn't just spouting nonsense (he does that all the time).
    11
  209. I want to know how great your skin got after all that mud
    11
  210. What wattpad fc were you reading?
    11
  211.  @thereisnofinishline5773  eh, it depends on the person. It's why I'm upfront with them about it from the beginning. Then they can decide if it's fine with them or not. For me, it's just become one of those things to mention early in the relationship.
    11
  212. Wooo! Excited to see Hobi's stage~ He has such an impressive musical repertoire; I can't wait to see what he'll choose to perform! And it's nice to hear that TXT will be at the same festival with him (and it'd be awesome if they get to see each others' stages).
    11
  213. I've seen fans of other grps complain that the gov should treat their grps the same if they do it for BTS. Oh, so you want your favs to do work for free under the gov's directives on top of completing their military training and service? Okay, nice to know how little you care abt your grp. Seriously. So, the gov both doesn't want to give BTS their due yet also still want to use BTS's soft power? One commenter said it best, either give them the exemption or let them do their service in peace. At this point, BTS is going to be criticized over anything to do with enlistment bc sm1 will throw a fit that they aren't doing enough.
    11
  214.  @happilyevernever4289  jinius tactics 😉
    11
  215. Correct, "sugar" is just a nomenclature.
    11
  216.  @20cmusic  how do you know one of them aren't a girl?
    11
  217. Eh, I'd say to check out the Korean songs they write if you actually want to critique their lyrics tho. And the dancing comment is pretty funny bc they are known to be some of the best performers around. The choreo here was so that anyone can dance to it (which is good bc my skill-set would also be at the "standing in place and snapping my fingers" level too).
    11
  218. It's understandable to me because Tae holds family in very high regards and comes from a culture that strongly supports that. I mean, I don't agree or support the same, but I can see where he's coming from.
    10
  219. Congrats to BTS! 💜
    10
  220. I hope this wont be the last video. I honestly hope there will one day be another video where you can show that there was true justice done from this case, where the investors and ppl in authority have been caught and rightfully persecuted to the full extent of a more fair and just law system. It's absolutely aggravating how the ones we already know are involved basically got a slap on the wrist compared to the horrors they've inflicted. So, I hope there will be more updates that will be worth making another video, bc the ppl who suffered from this deserve better than this being ended here.
    10
  221. So proud of BTS for continuing to use their platform to spread good will. SK is lucky to have them 💜
    10
  222. Isn't she also a corporate executive? She's not some newbie here. And her bringing in NJ's just to sway public sentiment shows she's definitely no better than other big bad corporate executives. With her background, she should've known better, so she basically brought this upon herself. Both sides played themselves and really shouldn't get any public sympathy for what they did to themselves.
    10
  223. I remember being taught that it happened, but we never went into the details like we did with the world wars or the country's civil war. To my disappointment, the Vietnam War suffered the same treatment in my history classes too. It's the reason why my family even came to the US, so I was hoping for more than just a date to be mentioned about it.
    10
  224.  @peterchung2262  Congratulations on bringing down the expectations we may have of teenagers.

  225. And to think, they only released an anthology album last year too. Congrats BTS! 💜

  226. Good music, good content, good people... they just make it really easy to continue being fans of theirs.

  230. 5:55 ~Triggered~ That happened to me!!! (*/>□<)/" This emoticon might look cute but I'm still absolutely livid about this incident! I had to wait 2 weeks for a new laptop and all my classes required the use of a laptop (I went to a tech school). I had to write everything out and transfer everything onto one of the library's computer/laptops and email that to myself. But library stuff can't be taken out of the library. This, by itself, wouldn't have been that much of an issue, BUT... all of my hw required access to a computer and internet, AND that semester, I was taking a class that gave hw that generally took an average of 10 hours, 3-5 study groups, and 2 TAs to complete, and all due every 2 days! I had to SLEEP IN THE LIBRARY FOR 2 WEEKS just to have access the library's laptop/computer for those assignments and all extra stuff AND still get enough sleep to go to morning classes on time the next day! I was only able back to my dorm on Sundays! SUNDAYS! I HOPE THERE'S A SPECIAL HELL JUST FOR YOU, YOU JACK@$$!!!
    10
  231. This was fun. I personally think Hobi should've gotten more points, really. His ability to control his body precisely to the beat and change in the music in that video was amazing~ It's a trait consistent in his dances ☆♡☆ And I think Tae and RM should've had a different video for a dance rating video. Those were not real dance videos. But for those scoring Tae, their opinions are invalid if they never moved in high heels before. I wish you included a group dance video. It'd have been fun to see their reactions to the dance synergy of the whole group after reacting to them individually. ☆♡☆
    10
  232. Those groups aren't that old. I think one of them even debuted after BTS ^^;

  233. There's a law school saying that all A-students become law professors, B-students become judges, and C-students become rich lawyers.

  234. I'm so grateful to all the ARMYs vlogging/posting their experience 🤗💜 It looks like an amazing experience~
    10
  235. That's her, but there's no romance there. Sm1 pretending to be from Hybe got in her DMs acting weird. Her sis actually knew how to get in contact with bsh, so they got in touch with him and that led to them finding the impersonator and sent him to jail, and bsh treated them to dinner as a thanks. To clarify, the sis knew sm1 who knew bsh. The pic was when they all first met when the sisters went to CA.
    10
  236. Ppl just need to accept that the choices we have are just between terrible and mediocre, and that choosing mediocre is still better than terrible.
    10
  237. This is truly tragic. From homes to businesses to historic monuments to nature, the loss is devastating. I hope the people injured will be okay. I pray for the families and people remaining and hope that they're able to rebuild safely and precautions are in place for the future.
    10
  238. ​ @뭐요-i6g didn't she basically admit to it, though? That's still suss. And her reveals also showed she's no better than any evil she says Hybe is, because all of her "evidence" shows that she's just as greedy and manipulative as any executive (bc she is one, both for Hybe and SM). And it's gross to bring in minors into a corporate feud. What other reason did she have to even bring up NJ's reactions other than to use them as a shield for herself? She's a mother to them in the same way those abusive mothers use their kids to get back at their husbands. She's not some guiless newbie on the scene getting in over her head because she doesn't know any better. How long has she been a player in this industry? If she didn't think Hybe's contract was fair, she shouldn't have signed it. It's not like she didn't have a choice; no one forced her.
    10
  239. It's a good thing that I already liked the whole story/history abt Macbeth bc of his character in Disney's Gargoyles bc the way we hyperfocused on it in middle school really pulled me out from wanting to read/watch the play outside of school.
    10
  240. There goes Cohen spilling info that should surprise no one.
    10
  241. So proud of them all! Congrats to JK! Tae is too funny. Can't wait for Hobi's album. I can't believe Suchwita s1 is already done ;_; Looking forward for Jin's return! I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.
    10
  242. Ppl saying others are falling for Hybe's manipulation are funny when they're also falling for just her words too. Bc that's all we have atp, words from both sides. Neither side has shown conclusively that the other were in the wrong. She comes across as skeezy as she claims Hybe is. Dodging and downplaying her criminal allegations, still not complying with the audit (why not give the company back their laptop?), and bringing the girls into public scrutiny by highlighting their actions rather than telling ppl to leave them alone, etc. I don't think Hybe is a saint in this, but she's also no blameless victim.
    10
  243. Congrats to them for their success with the movie! ☆♡☆
    10
  244.  @nadianrlf  It was during a Music Bank in Singapore. BTS were doing a lottery to let 2 fans in the audience take selfies with them. The first girl who went up there was surrounded by the group for the picture (like having members put an arm/hand on the her shoulders and such so they could all squeeze in for the picture) and they all shook her hand. Then the other audience member was a Muslim girl, and Hobi told RM and the others that they shouldn't touch her--very inappropriate in Muslim culture--so they kept an appropriate distance during her time and even when taking the pic (they all crouched down behind her ☺) and bowed/waved to her instead of shaking her hand. It was very sweet. There's actually a video compilation of BTS with Muslim-ARMYs on YT by Bangtan's Worth. I'd put a link but YT has been a pain about me putting links recently.
    10
  245. Shout out to our ARMYs in Bangladesh! ☆♡☆

  246. I feel for these guys. They have to deal with so much unnecessary issues as global artists, from being propped up as representatives for others' political agendas to being tacked onto any unrelated kpop backlash, when all they set out to do was make music. Joon is truly impressive for being the leader of this group and for how he handles the things that BTS has been burdened with.
    9
  247.  @minecrafbees  I hear they do, but I've never encountered that many. At least, not enough of them to really take note or at least it's at the same amount for every fandom so I don't take note. I see more people irrationally hating on BTS than their fans irrationally hating on others. Admittedly, I'm might just not be in the places where they gather.

  248. Parasite really deserved those wins. Hope this gets people to check out more of Bong's works too.

  249. Idk this person at all, but I do want to address Charlie's cmmt bc I completely disagree that it's a failure to make the effort to educate yourself on wrong learned behavior and thought-patterns. Ppl aren't perfect or inherently all-knowing, and sometimes, we need to look outside ourselves to check different perspectives to see what caused us to have done wrong and if that cause may have affected other aspects of our lives that we weren't aware of. Even if we think the person is faking or we don't want to forgive them, I still think we should be encouraging efforts in educating oneself to be and do better.
    9
  250. Could Tae ever be assigned on a security detail for a vip? That's wild to think abt, ngl. It's very impressive how BTS go all out with whatever they do. I hope they continue to be safe and healthy as they get through their services.

  255. I'm more worried at how this could affect future contracts with new grps. I do hope it leads to better oversight on workplace accountability so higher ups, like mhj, can't abuse their positions or their workers like this again.
    9
  256. Woah, saw my comment in the video. Thanks for going into this case! I hope she's able to serve as a female soldier in any event, but I also disagree with the decision to dismiss her. But my opinion is in line with the comment that the surgery wouldn't mean that she's unfit for combat. If she received a medical okay, then she should be fit to serve.

  257. Eh, I don't think every artist nominated attends the BBMAs every year they have a nom either. But I will be skipping out on watching since they won't be there.

  260. Or, and hear me out, if you're looking at this as a shadow vs ego perspective (given how it's talking about his base urges vs his perceived goodness), it's a warning against mishandling all aspects of oneself and a stress in the need to find balance. I say this because one can argue that neither Jekyll nor Hyde are his true self, yet they are still personas of the same person. You can take the "freedom" aspect as symbolic for drug addiction, but it can also be argued that such ill-conceived traits (impatience, apathy, anger, sloth, unreasonableness, etc.) exist within all of us and aren't things that can disappear, or are actually even all inherently "bad." Rather than saying to not indulge in these "freedoms" at all, as Dr. Jekyll does with his "good" persona, it's healthier to learn to manage these traits and find a balance so as to not overwhelm oneself with the pressures of suppressing innate emotions in order to conform with the perception of what is "good," all while not overindulging in inhibitions to the point that one becomes a danger to oneself and society. Edit: I'm only pointing this out because these interpretations give us 2 contradicting messages of the story that I thought were interesting contrasts: non-indulgence vs self-management (which include a balance for some indulgence). I definitely agree that if you're in trouble, for any reason, don't stop yourself from seeking/accepting help.

  261. This was such a great segment! It's so intriguing whenever we find out more about BTS members as they were before being BTS. ☆♡☆ And I hope all the people Jimin's inspired become shining stars themselves! On an off note: I'm really digging the interviewer's sense of style. Super fashionable~ ☆♡☆

  262. Wow. That's low levels of shamelessness right there. Imagine demanding apologies from people you steal from.

  263. Please get well soon, Tae! Hope you have an easy and quick recovery and that everyone is doing well too 💜

  264. Yes, the gods might have some of the worst traits displayed in some of the worst of ways, but darn, if they aren't entertaining characters.

  268. I've always been impressed with Tiger's sounds and lyrics. This album doesn't disappoint! ☆♡☆

  269. Hard disagree abt BTS speaking on Asian hate being suss bc it's too dismissive to suggest you have to live here to experience racism here and it gives too much credit to racists to suggest they care abt a person's residency before being racist to them. Plus, this take is also dismissive of the racism/xenophobia BTS DO receive and have spoken abt experiencing in the west.

  270. Happy New Year! This was a great event! ☆♡☆ This is such a sweet letter from Namjoon.

  271. ​@patchavez86 the fact this man has stayed out of this whole thing while mhj's side can't keep his name out their mouths feels like sm1 who can't let go when their ex moved on.

  272. Rhiannn :3 I thought they said that she supports herself through odd jobs and mom only brought her food out of concern (not because she was mooching).

  273. 💜💜💜💜💜 Inspirational, all of them!

  274. Congrats to JiJinKook! BTS keep us fed with both music and food lol Can't wait for July! Wootteo food is such a great collab~ and not really a Minions fan, but the BTS crossover looks cute!
    8
  275. I want a comprehensive chart of all of BTS's solo and grp activities for this year bc there's been too many and I keep feeling like I missed out on smt but can't figure out what.

  276. Entered military as a man in 2017. Did the gender reassignment in 2019. She is a trans woman.

  277. The clips for BTS's GMA performance looked like it was great! (though GMA probably should work on camerawork) And I loved the Beatles parody BTS did on Colbert ☆♡☆
    8
  278. I watched SG, multiple times when it was first released, so I never really checked into the reviews for it, but I wonder if the lack of trending in-depth discussion videos was bc the show was so blatant abt this premise (that and then a lot of ppl decided really quickly to get into semi-recreating the game scenarios, and that aspect sort of took over the narrative around the show).
    8
  279. School is 100% at fault for letting this person be near children and/or unsupervised on school grounds after she showed she was destructive and violent to another person.

  280. That Nimue died in her pursuit of greater magic but Merlin couldn't accept it or that he led her to it, and so, became her because that was the closest he could get to her in all these lifetimes.

  282. I'm so proud of them! They deserve all the love~ 💜

  284. "...despite [the gov] providing the concert venue." I'm not sure how grateful ppl are supposed to be that the gov was finally forced last minute to give in to providing a proper venue after the backlash and push back for trying to cram 100k+ ppl into an undeveloped area with a single entry/exit. 🙄

  287. China would that ex who showed up at your wedding and got mad for not being included in the vows.
    8
  288. ​@chloebutler8438 idk abt back then, but nowadays, moral turpitude is included as one of the reasons to be denied/detained and that can cover a wide range of behaviors bc it's so loosely defined. It's largely used for basically anything that can be deemed offensive but not criminal.
    8
  289. Anyone seen 'The Lizzie Bennet Diaries' series on YT? It's a modern fan remake of P&P told in vlog form. I thought how they switched the push for them finding marriages to Lizzie and her sisters finding a career path made an excellent analogy to how ppl treated the importance of marriages back in the P&P setting.

  295. BTS killed it! ☆♡☆ Congrats to them and Bang too. Also, everyone please be safe.
    8
  296. That's what gets me abt this, in particular. My concern is also the implications that are conveyed to the audience with swapping THIS character, in particular. The other characters would come across as racists, and worse, bc of the type of person Snape actually is, the story could end up conveying the racism as justified. He "looks" shifty, mean, terrible bc he IS shifty, mean, and terrible. Lily was warned off him bc he actually does hang out with the "wrong crowd" to do "bad things" and he IS an actual danger to others by his own malice. Like, what kind of message is that supposed to convey to the audience when everyone ends up being right abt him by also being bigots?
    8
  297. Honestly, I see knetz/kpoppies still do this: make unserious "scandals" seem as bad as the worst of crimes while downplaying actual criminals bc they're too obsessed with hating on sm1.
    8
  298. As an ace, I'm so glad that Bri was on there and bringing up being sex-positive bc not every asexuality is the same. And I'm glad she discussed the issues she encountered bc I've seen many others voice the same. Although I'm seeing asexuality becoming more discussed, it's also difficult to get ppl to understand its complexities or even believe it exists. I think everyone's relationship with sex (and its many aspects) is unique, so I hope more ppl come to understand (or at least, acknowledge, if not understand) that others have their own nuanced relationship with this topic and that those relationships are valid.

  299. Congrats, BTS for UK Top 40! ☆♡☆ Congrats, Parasite for SAG win! ☆♡☆ Please be safe! I hope the virus is quarantined properly and won't be spread further.

  300. They have perfect chemistry on-screen! But the way he grabbed the bar from out her hand was just excellent 👌
    8
  301. ​ @accountforgoodsongsunderra6390 how about you take this seriously and stop trying to undermine OP's message on how horrific sexual violence is. OP didn't even say anything abt the ppl in the video, only that rape should not be considered sex, which is 100% a valid point.
    8
  302.  @apikasangtam430  it's fine to not support a company. I don't. But I will criticize actions that deserves actual criticism. It's funny that you act blindly but call others blind. Criticize when you have the full story on what they've actually done, not for what others have done. And it's also hypocritical for you to be defending other companies by saying all this abt Hybe but claiming, without proof, that other companies don't do the same, esp when their founders have done actual crimes.
    8
  303. Now, I just hope the victims get their justice. At least the cherry blossoms look good for the festivities.
    8
  304. Long sigh~ I don't know why I even liked you.
    8
  305. Get a list started
    8
  306. Ergh~ (-_-|||| The Hollywood Report article is just rife with that reporter's toxic ethnocentrism.
    8
  307. His legs are so long wow~
    8
  308. Seriously. This was just shameful for a something trying to pass as a credible news source.
    8
  309. So, does this mean you guys aren't going to talk about Gil's encounter with Ishtar? 'Cause I'd love to see your take on her.
    8
  310. No masks, huh.
    8
  311. This reminds me of another yt video where they explained how the whole volunteer building houses was such a scam too. The actual construction team end up having to either tear down or redo the volunteers' houses bc the whole thing was mostly just for show and the "houses" weren't livable.
    8
  312.  @thathashimray2415  I agree. Laws and society should be working to make child-rearing easier.
    8
  313. Way to go, BTS 💜 ARMY! And this with no MV, album, or promotions~
    8
  314. I suppose bc BTS didn't do what everyone else did by having their company pay for their popularity, independent fan effort must no longer seem organic. 🙃
    8
  315. Proud of them! It's been great hearing their individual sounds (and I'm looking forward to the upcoming solo albums from the other members too).
    8
  316. Yes, please!
    7
  317.  @Aorbii  She's trans woman. "She" is the correct pronoun.
    7
  318.  @belhomarwa7924  Yeah, it was verified by the World Music Awards that the official YT counter was 101.1M at 24h. You can check both their Twt and FB for further details.
    7
  319. Ooooh, more games??? I'm probably going to have to wait to get a new phone if it's another app (BTSW is eating my data) or get an emulator.
    7
  320. frt, at least then the conflict over height would make more sense.
    7
  321. This is such a cool back story and you're right. They should've included it in the clip. Congrats and amazing job to the ARMY designers! 💜
    7
  322. Isn't NASA doing a moon mission later this year and bringing a few BTS songs with them?
    7
  323. Gross that njns's side brought up easily debunked lies abt a national tragedy to use as a shield.
    7
  324. Legal problems require legal solutions. Funny how ppl forget that actions have consequences. No wonder her lawyers' reactions became a meme.
    7
  325. Performative bs. How is this even supposed to help do anything other than direct attention away from what's going on in Gaza? How abt spreading more attention to the projects and aid relief efforts trying to help Palestinians or to the bs politicians, who have much more direct authority over these matters, not doing anything to stop the atrocities?
    7
  326. BTS topping their game each year~ ☆♡☆ And congratulations, Mr. Park! Now let's just hope negotiations actually bring out some truly positive results.
    7
  327. Our condolences to her loved ones ☆♡☆
    7
  328. It's out of respect (not surprising, considering that even the president declared a national mourning period), but it would also be a good idea to take the time to reevaluate and update event safety protocols for the postponed events anyways, esp for open events where any number of ppl can come and go as they please.
    7
  329. ​@Kpopmore2023 so weird how you aren't even concerned abt sm1 who actually died.
    7
  330. Huh, I guess people really don't learn from history. No wonder it's always on repeat.
    7
  331. Honestly, it's really on her for going to a subsidiary if what she wanted was her own company. She is an adult; she can read a contract or hire a lawyer to read one. If she really thought her contact was unfair, she shouldn't have signed it.
    7
  332. Makes sense
    7
  333. Don't know any kdrama this hardcore though
    7
  334. That That is really catchy! Congrats to PSY and Suga~☆
    7
  335. So proud of BTS! Really appreciated CNN's article: the journalist displayed a commendable open-mindedness in researching BTS ☆♡☆
    7
  336.  @aryore2411   Nah, that's cool. Thanks for your perspective. I could understand money issues, belief systems, and sex-repulsion, but bc the comment only makes a reference to asexuality, it confused me ^^;
    7
  337. Imagine Dragons, who already won a Billboard earlier that night too. As well as Maroon 5, who won 4 of their categories and Panic at the Disco, who had won 2. People, let that sink in. With this, no one has a leg to argue that BTS's award and achievements weren't legit.
    7
  338. Ngl, it's kinda wild how much they keep shooting themselves in the foot with the way they act. Did they not hire any legal counsel b4 this? And they STILL aren't using independent counsel for just themselves?
    7
  339. Are you for real? Just this past week alone, BTS has been first kpop group to be #1 in UK charts, have 2 BBMAs nom, has their 3rd #1 in Billboard 200, is part of Times' 2019 100 influential figures, were the 1st Kpop group on SNL, broke 3 Guinness World Records, etc. Just even 1 of the aforementioned would be huge news for any Korean artist. This is a Korean news site and a bunch of Koreans are making news. What did you expect???
    7
  340. BTS is a once-in-a-lifetime, historic, world-changing, lejindary group. They're the pride of the world really. 😤💜 So proud of them!
    7
  341. To the title of the video, my answer is basically nothing, but I thought that was the point with her. This was very informative!
    7
  342.  @sabrina.k23  What's going on this time is way more complex than a simple petty crime, there's more people involved (and they obviously aren't cooperating) and it's been going on for years. This isn't a tv drama to be completed in a few days or weeks. Most police investigations of this magnitude may take YEARS to complete (that it took months for someone with so many allegations against him is more astounding to me).
    7
  343. Oh, that's so cool. I remember there was a recent discussion going on about interpreters at the concerts before, so it's neat to be able to hear about her experience! We appreciate all of her hard work!
    7
  344. Honestly, it was an iconic moment. Really touched by how ARMY successfully pulled off the Purple Ocean Project and how it inspired Tae to define and codify a new phrase just for us. And really impressed with how much impact it all has.
    7
  345. ​@apikasangtam430 he's not the one writing anything, tho. That's kpop fans. Maybe look at yourself and your fellow fans first for being so openly vile online where anyone can see, bc companies are paying attention.
    7
  346. While annoying, it'd be nice if this is how bad it gets.
    7
  347. Usually, demolitions are extremely controlled, so something must have really messed up for this to happen. My heart goes out to the victims and their loved ones. Hope we find out how this happened soon.
    7
  348. Yes, it is.
    7
  349. And also do the whole thing to see who messes up the end (°□^)~☆
    7
  350. But at least I can understand why that'd be the case in the beginning. New medical techniques from a small-town doctor. Slow spreading of information about and understanding of the process and results to the general public. Disastrous "replicated" procedures by other doctors. At least, the skepticism was understandable. What's the excuse now?
    7
  351. I hope you guys do an in depth report on this case. I read articles that interviewed her saying that she was encouraged by military doctors to undergo the surgery she did and that her superiors knew about this too. Also, she stated that she already came out to her unit before the surgery and that this didn't seem to be an issue with the people around her (it sounds like the decision for discharge was more so about anti-lgbt groups and the army review board). It just seems strange to me that on a personal level, there didn't seem to be much negative reaction with the military personnel around her, but when this case went to 3rd parties, it was met with more conservative backlash. She apparently was diagnosed with gender dysphoria but she was already being treated by army doctors while she was serving without any issues arising too. So, I'd like to hear more about transgender rights, particularly in the military, and cases that have dealt with the subject before, as well as laws that relate to these cases (there doesn't seem to be any military laws directed explicitly towards transgender, but rather towards medical disorder, which I find ironic as she was being treated already and was still able to serve).
    7
  352. Agreed. This is my main issue with the exemptions. I can't see much difference between today's big kpop groups and classical musicians in terms of their comparable achievements, potential setbacks with service, and positive representation of SK. So, I can't see the reason why they should be treated differently. I think the law is outdated and needs change. Even if BTS or any current persons don't benefit from the change, a change for this to be more fair should still happen.
    7
  353. He's been gaining so much praise and respect by his peers and ppl in the industry with RPWP. All deserved.
    7
  354. Just wanted to say I called it, but it was also pretty obvious this was going to happen at the meeting.
    7
  355. They should blame themselves for overreaching just to hate on a person for really no reason.
    7
  356.  GAYHYUNGISTRASH482  You are a toxic stan.
    7
  357. ​ @kingofcards9  yeah, I've been noticing that they've been taking a lot of their stories/myths/histories with an obvious bias. I don't always dislike the bias, but I would've liked them to have played more into the ambiguity of some of their interpretations when it is also clearly there too.
    7
  358. Dammit, that got me. And it shouldn't have! ^□^~hahaha
    7
  359. So proud of BTS! ☆♡☆
    7
  360. That wouldn't work with me ^^; I know the chant but I'd have to practice beforehand to keep the rythym and not stumble over names.
    6
  361. We got an extended Super Tuna~ 🐟 I'm so happy Jin is back! 💜 He was so nervous but he slayed that stage! Star power, indeed
    6
  362. The performance BTS put on for the 2018 MMA was ☆leJINdary☆ How they incorporated all those traditional dances and performances and changing the musical instruments for Idol~ (♡□♡) Just WOW!!
    6
  363. @Green Lizard Yes
    6
  364. It makes sense she'd only pay attention to the punishing violence on men aspect of Aphrodite's interactions with them.
    6
  365.  @yumicamilletti  We can't say that. From what (admittedly little) I've seen of the opinion of Japanese people (not its gov), they agree that the bad sides of their history should be acknowledged and the victims deserve an official apology, so this doesn't seem like a issue on a societal level, only in its politics. Plus, J-ARMYs obviously support BTS (they wouldn't be ARMY otherwise) despite the political conflict and shouldn't be cast in the same brush as their government, especially as many of them can't vote yet. I'm more concerned over safety issues (for BTS and ARMY) that could come from any of the more radical Japanese right-wingers.
    6
  366. Same. The idols don't deserve the backlash. SM though...
    6
  367. Except you don't get to hear the "wooo" at the end :(
    6
  368.  @EvaMariposa  oh yeah, I'm surprised by some videos showing ppl trying to enter that crowd in the main street from the outside when it was clearly so full. But as for that particular place, at the time, the crowd was moving pretty much at the same pace in the alley and the main street (while it was congested, the crowd was still moving), so I can see why ppl would've thought they could get out through there. And also at that time, once a person entered the alley, it was basically impossible to turn around even if sm1 changed their mind abt going down there. It makes me wonder how the end of the alley looked like for traffic to move that slow.
    6
  369. I'm so proud of these guys! They deserve all the best! (And proud of the ARMYs there who slayed the altered fanchants--yeah, I see you guys)~ ☆♡☆
    6
  370. Congrats BTS and TXT! ☆♡☆
    6
  371. I'm so proud of all of the members of BTS! 💜 I can't wait for V's new song, Blue, to drop.
    6
  372. Please be safe, everyone. The Bighit family photos looked great! Congrats to Son and Parasite!
    6
  373. @DavJK36  this is why I also mentioned LOONA and those other examples of idols who did speak out and publicly went against their company for mistreatment (and some are no longer beholden by those companies anymore to fear backlash either). Saying they aren't brave enough to speak out is bs when they already have spoken. And what mistreatment did Hanni speak abt that was worse than these examples for the NA to have her speak and not these idols who have already spoken out?
    6
  374. True, I completely overlooked soldiers (ironic, bc I work with ex-military).
    6
  375. Love the review so far! Can't wait for part 2!
    6
  376. I agree. I see this a means to spread BTS's message of positivity and love. Maybe it'll even change a few minds once their effect is seen up-close and in-person.
    6
  377. BTS are kings! And an extra-special kudos to our ARMY translators, who are just amazing people~ I p♡rple them all!
    6
  378. It's disappointing that you hold a comedian to a higher standard than government officials.
    6
  379. Can't wait for the Seoul concert~ ☆♡☆
    6
  380. What is this obsession with bsh?? It's weird they keep trying to bring him into this when this should boil down to an Ador issue.
    6
  381. 14!? Wow~ All the best to these young ladies! ☆♡☆
    6
  382. I blame Butter for this. Lyrics "hot like summer, yeah, I'm making you sweat like that" and JK said bet.
    6
  383. Tbf, that's an unrealistic ideal to believe a crowd of that size can randomly work coherently without ppl of obvious authority taking clear charge. Even individuals in that crowd taking charge could only rally the ppl around them and no one would have a reasonable way to communicate their intentions with others outside their range to work together properly.
    6
  384. They are kings and have the numbers to show it.
    6
  385. If they still have events, it sounds like this is all just lip service, and they haven't actually done anything to actually leave.
    6
  386. What are you talking about? Michelle just told the truth all while she complimented Huckabee's make-up.
    6
  387. I hope voters remember everyone who voted for him to not be held accountable for their next election cycle. Those, and the ppl they support or who support them, are the ppl who also need to go.
    6
  388. My weekend was crazy enough that I can't believe we haven't had Halloween yet. Everyone, remember to stay safe, and it is okay to bow out early.
    6
  389.  @chickentail7108  Talking about how diseases can spread through cannibalism, like kuru in the video. It's certainly one way to get revenge from beyond the grave.
    6
  390. Ikr, they're back2back trending too ^□^
    6
  391. RM is just super~ I wonder if there are any KSL interpreters who do BTS songs? And congrats to KN again on the silver play button! ☆♡☆
    6
  392. I really don't want a 5050 2.0 for these girls. I hope they can stay out of it and proceed with a cb even without mhj.
    6
  393. Yet to Come was the perfect title for their anthology, esp with how they did the MV. And For Youth and Run BTS were amazing (but I'm glad I listened to FY after YtC and before RB bc the mood whiplash would've gotten me 😅).
    6
  394. Wooo! Yoongi x IU collab ♡
    6
  395. It's pretty neat how many places you can randomly find bt21 stuff.
    6
  396. MHJ: ppl shouldn't mediaplay idols! Also MHJ: except for when I mediaplay idols Crazy how mhj has been hard pushing to take all credits for everything abt nwjs, but when it comes to accountability, she's all nwjs was intricately involved with everything this whole time.
    6
  397. It definitely fit his style and voice.
    6
  398. ​​ @하나-리아  that's what gets me bc she's not some minor trainee/idol forced into signing themselves to a slave contract bc they had little real options. She, an adult businesswoman with background in big entertainment corp, willingly signed onto have a small cut of a subsidiary company from the get-go. If she truly thought her contract was unfair, she should've never signed on in the first place and with her bg, she definitely should know better.
    6
  399. I'm sure both countries will play to whatever's in what they consider their best interest. What kind of ramifications it will have is something to keep an eye on, to say the least.
    6
  400. No worries, segment must've been early because ARMYs came by after the show to clean up!
    6
  401. Man, I thought it was a sure thing that he would completely lose the farmers' vote with how badly he f*cked up with the Chinese tariffs, but I sometimes underestimate brand influence.
    6
  402. Idk what to feel about this. I mean the things he did... I think it's most regrettable that he went when he hadn't the chance to deal with his demons. But RIP and prayers to his loved ones.
    6
  403. That they were 2 small dogs surprises me even less
    6
  404. He's a very brave person. It's hard to get over smt that's been ingrained into you, especially when it's encouraged/accepted by the society around you. That he could both self-reflect and actually change his mindset is commendable. It's hard to admit when you're wrong and it's easier to ignore your past wrongs, so I really respect Namjoon for not taking the easy road and doing his utmost to be better as a person.

  405. Tbf, if she wasn't showing violent behavior when she was with the doctor, then the doctor would reasonably not know. The school, however, is sus to not do anything after multiple accounts of violent displays, esp towards another teacher on school grounds.

  406. Honestly, I expect that we will just be dealing with a bigger mess in the future bc of this. I won't even blame the next generation for being upset with everyone when the consequences end up in their laps.

  409. I'm speaking as an ARMY, but if you care abt BTS at all, then pls be more mindful abt when it's inappropriate to bring them up into matters not concerning them. This is NOT the video or situation to be pushing BTS unnecessarily into the conversation. They don't need that on them, and the focus and attention regarding this tragedy should be directed only to those involved.

  410. Rather than it being an issue with just the law, it sounds like the doctor and his staff are highly suss and would've likely done this regardless. I can't believe any normal medical professional would've agreed to this. And he had a couple of brokers who knew to look for him!? I hope investigators look more into this doctor and those brokers beyond this case. The fact they had this kind of system already in place sounds like these kinds of operations are normal for them.

  415. It's truly telling how disturbingly ethnocentric some commenters are being with how dismissive they are to the non-Americans who also experience discrimination in the US. Not to mention that racists in America don't care abt a person's citizenship when they decide to hate on Asians. It just matters to them that the person is or looks Asian. Don't temp residents, ppl coming in on student or work visas, or even regular visitors also matter or is racism only worth discussing if it's being done to Americans? That's an issue that deserves to be addressed under the topic of anti-Asian hate as well and BTS are a great choice to speak on that, as well as the global scale of anti-Asian hate outside of America.

  418. Idky, but my guess is that bc that main street was so busy, maybe they thought it'd be easier to get out of the crowd thru the alley street. If you check the map, that alley is located directly midway thru that main street (right next to a hotel) in the video and leads to another large street. From the direction of the natural crowd flow the cctvs is showing on the main street, there are essentially 2 much smaller alleyways the crowd flowing could've naturally gone thru first (and probably did) before flowing into the alley of the incident. That alley and the closest alleyway prior to it is located 5 buildings apart from each other on the same side of the street. But passing it, the next closest (and last) alley before the end of the main street is located a hotel and a building over, also on the same side of the street (and they take up more space than even the 5 buildings prior). On the other side of the main street, there are no alleyways (it's a full street wall of buildings/properties), so the crowd flow going along that side of the main street would actually have ppl needing to walk the full street to get out, unless they move against the natural crowd flow to get to an alleyway.

  421.  @0xyGen_2.p0  personally, I don't find the judge's reasoning valid of how "treacherous acts" against a parent company doesn't equate with betraying her fiduciary duties to Ador. Unless they don't consider preventing the purposeful sabotaging of Ador's main source of funding/resources as not her fiduciary duties to the company. Can't imagine how that works.

  433. True. Unfortunately, looking at the actual BB article on this, it does look like SM really puffed up their album with a bunch of extras. But it's up in the air if this will change BB's charting policies. Who knows? I mean, look at YT. After that whole view-buying thing with that Indian rapper, they changed their entire records policy to not include any views that were bought as part of their views criterion. Now, to get any YT records, the criteria have to, at least, seem organic. It does trouble me that even BB basically implied that this was a paid achievement. The implication mentioned that it's an expected practice in kpop. It makes it seems like the idols are being considered manufactured/company-products. Kpop idols really don't deserve that.
    5
  434. Woah, your assistant director has some great body control!

  435. If so, we'll just have to keep an eye on other Chinese kpop idols (former or active) to see if they get entangled in anything after this.

  436. Yeah, I don't even want to think about it until an official statement has been given.

  437.  @taebeary.  wait, earlier music? You mean smt like what's in their album, Be? That was released just last year? Bc I love their track, Dis-ease. I'm impressed with how they captured that love-hate relationship you can have with smt that's your passion and, at the same time, has the constraints of being your responsibility/job. It's an anthem for workaholics, really. You don't see many songs go into that sort of juxtaposition. I mean, for something that isn't a person (I've seen plenty of love-hate songs about relationships between people).

  443. For me, Reborn Rich just hits me in my Achilles' heel. I'm just a big fan of the reincarnation, transmigration, time travel genres, and want them to make a comeback in popular tv media. There are so many good webtoons and manhwas that do this (Solo Leveling, Omniscient Reader, Trash Count, etc.). Or other similar ones that are also low-fantasy and modern, reality focus, like Medical Return and Debut or Die. Or some with romance focus, like Goodbye, In-law or The Newlywed Game. There's just a lot and I hope they all get turned into kdramas.
    5
  444. Think of it this way. These type of things (webtoons, games, merch, etc.) allow fans to enjoy a variety of content related to the artists, while allowing the artists to collect a profit without having to put in extra work. They may do a little promo and photo-opt and might even come up with the concepts, but that's abt it. The main work comes from whoever is producing the content. This way, the artists can better focus on creating new music (the thing they actually want to do) and have more opportunities for a longer break bc fans will be able to focus on other new things related to the artists during those times too. This let fans be busy with smt without having to experience a dry spell while the artist is either resting or in the middle of crafting their music. This gives the artists an easy avenue for promotion and profit that wouldn't require as much of their energy to oversee. Additionally, bc the content is so varied, this allows the artists to reach out to new types of fans (ppl who are more into webtoons/kdramas/games but not as interested in kpop might give the music more of a chance--this is how I got into BTS myself, from watching Namjoon host a variety show, and I wasn't that into kpop before BTS). Plus, bc these things aren't strictly related to the music, we fans can choose whether or not to partake in them at our leisure. We don't actually miss out on anything related to the music by not looking into this stuff, and a lot of what's released is actually free too. We can choose to ignore it, but there are obviously fans out there who want to consume these content. No one's being forced or pressured into checking any of this out either. I'm just saying that as long as it's not hurting the artists and isn't done without their consent, I don't see the problem with it. There's clearly a market for these things (all the merch has been sold-out despite the prices and the webtoon has great global ratings), so I'm not surprise that the company would move into them.

The report on the negotiations makes sense. $5B did seem more like an opening offer than something set as final terms. As for the go ai, I'm also not surprised. Those tend to fail most often whenever random variables are introduced.

  476. No, her mom might voluntarily cook food for her but they admit that she supports herself. Her mom's real problem is that they're both getting older but the daughter's income isn't stable and she (from mom's POV) doesn't have a reliable support to fall back on once mom is gone (I also find the grandkid excuse flimsy because she also has a son and probably expects kids from him too; I wondered that's why that avenue wasn't mentioned for grandkids). Yet since the daughter doesn't contact mom that often, grandkids could also be mom's aim for them to keep in touch more too because of family culture, as well as force her to find a more stable lifestyle. But I happen to be of the mindset that if you want something, you have to work hard in order to get it (which is very much part of Asian culture). Realistically, because it's been 2 years and she hasn't developed the skills for rapping despite all of her efforts, she needs to reevaluate how she's progressing in her goal and will have to make the choice of either changing her approach and hope she finds a way or keeping the same and not progress much further. She at least shows passion for rapping, even though she started because of an attraction to ZICO. She's kept at it for 2 years and has changed her goal to being on the same level as him by rapping about the social injustices of the world. That's actually quite admirable. As for marriage, I'm also of the mindset that if you want a happy marriage, you have to go into it willingly. It's not some fate you can just resign yourself to, because that tends to lead to a broken home and there are enough of those out there. Marrying just to keep your parents happy isn't fair to or good for you or the spouse. And ultimately, mom needs to realize that her daughter is a grown-ass woman, who must make her own life choices. If she made her convictions, no one's going to be able to stop her. Rather than pressure her daughter, she has to make the hard decision to let her be. Who knows, maybe her daughter will change her mind down the road, but she's just going to ruin her own health and current relationship by being continuing as she is.

  486. Anna's parenting tip is really good. So often, ppl will react on instinct at kids without thinking of how the kid will perceive it or if it was a necessary or harmful reaction (I mean, this is a pretty natural thing to do, unfortunately), so it's awesome that she's been able to practice constraint and reflection with her first instincts, especially high stressed ones, for the sake/betterment of her children.

  488. You realize she's been part of this shady business for years too, right? And that she's been thriving in it? Sounds like she's just as much part of the problem.
    4
  489. Then she should've put those promises into a contract. She's worked for SM for years, she should've known better if she had specific goals and wanted those promised to her. Or she shouldn't have signed on in the first place if Hybe refused to promise her. She came into this with eyes wide open and but it's not her fault when she gets exactly what she signed on for??

  492.  @yoongislostring5443  she's not financially dependent on her mother and she's an adult, so she's free to live her own life. But it is true that if she wants to maintain a relationship with her mom, she should consider her mom's opinion and see where she's coming from. Her mom is worried that her daughter will be wasting her life away on an unsuccessful venture and wants her to gain stability before it's too late. But that goes both ways too. If mom doesn't want to drive her daughter away, she needs to realize that her daughter is an independent adult and in charge of her own life and she needs to respect that if she still wants to have a proper relationship with her daughter. Mom can keep her standards but needs to be aware of the consequences that can come with doing so, just like the daughter. If the daughter sees value in what she's doing and is willing to bear the burdens and consequences that come along with it, then it's no one else's business to tell her what she has to do or what is good for her by this age (they can suggest and persuade but that's it; no one else can live her life but her).

  498. Weird that they missed a perfectly good ending that was already laid out for them via the novel. I get where they were trying to go with this type of ending, but tbh, they really needed to have changed and set up things in the earlier episodes for this to make this work better (and to avoid the plotholes). At least the previous 15 eps were still good.

  507. Oda Nobunaga's character is one that is most outright hard to pin down. He's pragmatic to the point of eccentricity (for that time), yet always ready to expend resources (people) that aren't 100% at his disposal. He has vision and stratagem to spare, yet seems prone to take such incredible, high-stakes risks. Sometimes, I can't tell if he actually cares for his friends/family or if he sees them mostly as pawns. He was brilliant in his conquest and policies, yet ruthless was his reign. He's an interesting character of history to say the least.

  523. It's true that people shouldn't be brushed with the same broad strokes just for belonging in the same industry, especially considering that there are so many in this industry who are barely connected or have hardly any real control over their peers. However, this case may shed some light on the problems that may show the need for better accountability and proper self-management within the culture of the kpop community. I don't think it's fair or realistic to hold idols on a pedestal, in that their actions are above reproach, or expect them to be held at an unreasonably high standard, in that they're not permitted to have common, fallible human traits. Crimes against human rights should not be distinguished by positions, but not every human flaw should be considered a crime because of position either. Yet, that aside, I do think the celebrity parts of this case are overshadowing its more troubling aspects: the potential and unexposed corruption of law enforcement and government officials. I'm surprised that while the chats, as well as prior statements, indicated acts of bribery among police officers and criminal behavior with potential people linked to government, these allegations aren't making headlines. Furthermore, we aren't hearing how investigations concerning them are going, at least, not to the level that we hear of the idols. Don't get me wrong, I think what these people did was sick and criminal, but I feel that is so on a more outer level. I fear that part might be a shallow shell covering up a deeper concern on a national level. One that is being swept over by the glitz and glamour of a celebrity scandal.

  538.  Harry Fishnuts  I mean, I can see the appeal for wanting to come from a rich family and be able to get by without doing anything, but for those who have dreams, ambitions, or just want to get into something new, BTS seems like the better role model.👍

Speaking of LACMA, I'm loving Namjoon narrating the intro and some of the audio guides for their current 'The Space Between: The Modern in Korean Art' exhibit too.

  550. The video came out before the police report did, so the news didn't have a chance to be updated. It was real news at the time of the video upload, but it's outdated news once the police reports came out. The report confirmed that he was in a chatroom, but it wasn't the illegal one and his chats were only related to work. Hopefully, KN's next vid over this will rectify the misunderstanding.

  556. Adults dating is no big deal. Stalking people and sharing around secretly taken videos in order to spread horrible rumors abt a celebrity is absolutely disgusting. Is it really a wonder fans and JK got bothered by this? But it definitely should not have gotten big enough for JK to find out abt it and feel the need to address it. Ppl, esp anyone considering themselves a fan, shouldn't be harassing him at all.

  565. For those asking: Violence against Asian Americans or Asian-looking people in the US recently is in large part bc of misplaced anger over CV19. It's similar to how people went after the Japanese community during WW2 or the Muslim community after 911 (people prove again and again that they just don't learn from history). Time did an article in May this year but YT isn't letting me put the link (I think?). Just look up "violence against Asian Americans."
    4
  566. There is a much bigger issue here that needs more focus that I'm not seeing enough of. The stalking, harassing, secretly videotaping ppl in their private space, and using it to slander celebs goes beyond just the issue of "fans needs to accept idols dating." Fans needing to accept celebs dating is important, yes, but what's happening here goes way beyond simple fandom behavior. This is criminal behavior territory. And why post the video too?!?

  569. I would think being against anti-Asian hate would be a universal social issue, not a political one. Maybe that's just me? I understand your worries that this may become politicized but this is still an issue that needs to be addressed, regardless. I'm sure we can ignore if any politicizing is going on and focus on the main issue of spreading awareness of and stopping the hate being targeted towards Asians.

  572. Of course, neither side should be trusted. MHJ isn't clean, so Hybe should've known better than to trust her. And MHJ isn't some newbie, so she should've known better than to accept a contract she didn't agree with. There is no victim here (besides the idols and trainees). The executives did this to themselves. The real issue is whether or not Hybe can prove she also did criminal acts, and whether MHJ has any valid defenses.

  580. It is actually kind of confusing bc they want to downplay BTS, but then the way they act is like they are trying so hard to seek ARMY validation abt their own favs. If BTS don't mean much, then don't act so bothered when their fans praise them??

  585.  @dinas.m8298  Actually, Bloomberg did an article on it that shows that BP bought some (not all) of their YT views with ads. However, they're far from the only ones to have done so (Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande also used ads). This is actually creating quite a controversy because recently an artist just broke the 24hr YT view record, but almost ALL (95%) of his views were from ads. Neither YT nor any other agency is crediting him with the achievement though because of the ad buys, despite other artists doing to same (admittedly, not to the same extent). I'm not denying BP's popularity because I think the majority of their views are not from ads and are organic, but you wanted to know about whether their views are being bought and they are (but only some and they aren't the only artists who do so). Here an article: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-07-30/bollywood-rapper-sets-viewer-record-youtube-isn-t-talking-about

  586. @Onion Dark Knight The shirt was designed as a portrayal of the tragic price of freedom. Korean also had thousands of causalties from the bombing but were suffering under the oppressive regime of imperial Japan. Japan isn't some innocent victim. Korea was only able to achieve their freedom because the bombs led to imperial japan losing hold of its colonies, which were being enslaved, raped, and tortured by the japanese at the time! You may find the image distasteful, but the designer used it as a message to show that there can still be hope within a tragedy. I don't see anything wrong with that.

  596.  @johnnyjack3268  ??? That's exactly what she did in the conference, wdym? But for everything Hybe alleges, she doesn't bring anything to refute them other than her words either, if she even addresses any of their allegations at all.
    3
  597.  @johnnyjack3268  uh, not exactly. She admitted that they were true but that the context wasn't as bad as Hybe were saying, all without showing receipts or addressing her non-compliance with the audit. That's what I meant by she was downplaying the ones she addressed and avoiding the other parts.
    3
  598.  @johnnyjack3268  no and I did see the conference, if she was really guiltless, she should've just complied with the audit, lawyered up, made her statement, and wait for the courts to show she was in the right, instead of playing the public sympathy card right out the gate and use the girls as shields. All she did was just play up emotions and share corporate gossip. She did nothing to actually and conclusively defend herself against the legal allegations against her. And I'd leave it at that if she hadn't weaponised the girls as well. That was just wrong.

Anderson Paak, the band, and back-up singers were also such a pleasant surprise. Happy 9th Anniversary BTS and ARMY 💜 I finally have my album!

  601. As an ARMY, I 100% agree that ARMY is most loyal but I still want to know the demographic of the data pool they used and what were the other criteria for making the list.
    3
  602. They said they haven't confirmed it yet and that's part of the problem: both that law enforcement generally don't treat this aspect seriously enough to properly investigate it and that it's causing concerns that this might become another disappearing headline if not investigated thoroughly, especially as anti-Asian hate crimes have been spiking exponentially.
    3
  603. This doesn't look like the "peace talks" are going successfully... at this time, I'm just hoping things don't escalate even further. RM with Lil Nas X was at least, a pleasant surprise~ ☆♡☆

  606. More like, the characters are written as they are (mostly white) bc that's how the creator envisioned them. But in doing so, Rowling did not think of the implications of how the characters would've been perceived or how audience would have reacted had they been of a different race/ethnicity. So, audience perception of certain characters' actions don't get as much backlash had they been done by POCs. For example, I imagine there'd be more audience outrage had Hermione been black and was still advocating against clear slavery, yet was met with the same reactions by the white ppl around her. Yet, Rowling never had to contend with how the indifference and mockery of the other characters' reactions could be perceived bc the topic didn't convey as much weight in its implications with Hermione also being white.

  610. True, the originals are kinda insane with how reasonably they're priced at. Some seats are even cheaper than a Broadway show's. They could definitely get away with upping prices to 3x or 4x what they ask for. Nice of them that they don't.

  614. ​ @obriendenis3965  I think there's an error in believing subsidiaries operate the same as labels. Generally, subsidiaries operate independently of each other and tend to have little to no obligation of checking if they do smt that overlaps with another subsidiary (and Hybe has given no indication of being different in that regard). Copying/plagiarism is its own issue outside of that tho, but it's not a legal issue when concepts are copied.

Just a reminder that Burning Sun's Thai investor, Chavanos Rattakul, got off scott free and actually did an interview on Thai tv to state his victim was just trying to get fame when she tried to expose him and Burning Sun a year before the kakoatalks came out. Edit: sorry, it's all "allegedly" 😒

  622. Lol. No worries. As an ace, I don't get that feeling about sex at all. This might help you understand: try taking your feelings of people you have no sexual attraction to whatsoever and apply that to everyone and that would probably be how I'd feel as an ace. As for the purpose of life comment above this one, it's still one of life's great mysteries, and asexuality (as a sexual orientation) exists even within the animal kingdom. There was a study done in the '90s that found asexuality among sheep (check out the US Sheep Experiment Station). Plus, the procreation answer doesn't explain why homosexuality exists and brings up debate on free will and instinct (if life's purpose is specifically to create more life, then how would people even have the choice to not have sex for the purpose of getting pregnant?). So, maybe procreation is not the real purpose of life? ¿¿¯\_(ツ)_/¯??

  628.  @wonhoscake1214  Of course the majority is male, men are required to go into service. Women aren't, and those 10K+ women who volunteer to enlist deserve acknowledgement. Anyone fighting for their country does. If someone is going to refuse to pay respect to those people for their service, then I will "go off."
    3
  629. If they were that proud, they officials running these places would pay to be using the artists' images. They could just go ahead and pay for usage to keep the murals/sculptures and all but they decided to not do that and take them down instead.

  632. Actually, the audience here did fairly well compared to the boys first American interviews, in which no one could hear them speak AT ALL. And the audience's cheers seem to get more respectful each new interview.

  633. That actually pisses me off because that's exactly the type of double standards that westerners so typically ascribe to. Western artists do the same, but it'll be foreign artists who'll be condemned for it.

  639. What? You're asking why idols don't turn attention abt this tragedy needlessly towards themselves and how they feel and not leave the focus towards the victims, esp those still fighting for their lives, and towards how it should've been handled, when the incident is still under investigation, and towards families and friends of those victims who are still mourning? I can't imagine why either. 🤔
    3
  640. Yeah, I agree. China knows it can't match or even compete with SK's soft power, so it does things like this in order to decrease competition against its domestic industries and lessen the influence of SK in China's markets (like the kpop ban, which still isn't really lifted).

  645.  @dargondude2375  Nah, it was more like Christian kingdom claim to persecute other religions, did, but also mostly turned on other Christians, including those in their sect, standing in their way as well. It really was just a facade for power rather than anything with actual religious beliefs (unless it helped their cause, of course).
    3
  646. atrudokht I wouldn't go that far. The various chinese religions show that their dieties are not completely immune to petty squabbles and hypocrisy themselves that sometimes end with just as harsh or worse consequences for mortals. But I agree that overall they definitely do have a more favorable portrayal than the Helenistic gods.

  652.  @김모모-d9z  which is really weird tbh, bc that situation and BTS are different. That guy actively did things to avoid enlistment by himself, which is what caused the gp to turn against him. He was never even considered for any sort of exemption by anybody either, unlike with BTS, who has recieved legislative support for an exemption. Also, unlike that guy, BTS, themselves, have never made moves to avoid enlistment and have, in fact, not sought for an exemption either. It's other people who are seeking an exemption for them instead.

  656. True, idk if there's a culture difference, but I've always seen the weight in this tradition be the gesture and intent rather than be the amount given or received.

  664. Sad to see when a company degrades itself to the level of tabloid trash tv. But how refreshing that they're so open about how low their standards are. Though such candidly crude behavior makes me question the quality of their brand. If this lack of professionalism is what they're willing to show in front of the public, what depths do they sink in the privacy of their productions and manufacturing?
    3
  665. Well, it depends. Some do, like aces with sex drives might know how to please their bodies and may be able to work that in with a partner or have limited sexual attraction they can work with or aces who develop sexual attraction to their partner after developing feelings for them (the attraction stems from an emotional connection). Then some don't, like those who find the whole thing more like a chore instead (there might be something else, like satisfaction that it's done, but maybe not pleasure when actually doing it) or some might be completely turned off by it and can't develop a sense of pleasure with the act at all (not just being repulsed by sex, but even those who find sex to be sheer boredom or a needless waste of time and energy with no other positive feeling towards it).

  666. I question my decision for watching these before meal-times.

  667.  @Liz-qb1ki  Yeah, BH hasn't released an official statement but they have submitted a registration statement for their IPO, which includes documents about Jin possibly postponing to 2021 in accordance with military law (this isn't a new thing, enlistment just has to be done while the person is still 28yo (internationally); rn, all men born in 1991 must enlist by their birthday in 2020; but those born in 1992, like Jin, can enlist next year as long as it's before their birthday).

  668. If an agreement is ever met, it'll most likely be because of President Kim. He's really the only stable one there.

  670. I'm just POed with how these were nothing but speculations, yet, without hearing both sides, antis still rode on it bc they have such a massive hate bon*r for BTS. And then they got mad when ARMYs called them out bc apparently defamation isn't a "big deal."

  671.  @Ashley-nk7mi  I think you're talking about Tony Jones from American Hustle Life. Tony Montana is a fictional character from the '80s movie, Scarface, and was played by Al Pacino. If you're talking about Al though... Imma need receipts cause I've seen nothing about Al and BTS beyond Yoongi's song.

  672. I really do appreciate and absolutely love how consistent the bands messages have been since the beginning, or at least, how clearly we can see where those messages' foundation laid and how they could grow and evolve. None of it came from nowhere. They never just threw in some irrelevant concept, like it was something their company randomly gave to them because of whatever reason, like maybe popularity (don't get me wrong, I'm sure popularity of a concept may have been factored in with the decision to go with it--it's natural for persons' viewpoints and values to be influenced by trends). The basis for their messages was all there from the beginning, making their developments easy to pinpoint and navigate through in each stages. They never lost the core of themselves, so they never felt manufactured. They've been true to themselves and their art from their conception. It's one of the many reasons why I'm their fan and am proud to call myself an ARMY. Great segment! This was very nicely laid out and thought provoking ^^

  674. James Reese Actually, why not? Why not make it so that no party may receive funding from any group or individual not directly and openly a part of their campaign? And then, make it so that campaigning can only begin 6 months before the election date and only for that election. I think you're onto something here.

  675. No, targets aren't just limited to conventionally pretty ppl. As long as anyone knows abt your existence, you are a potential target. Pls be safe out there.

  676. Tbf, just bc we have access to the internet doesn't mean we are inclined to use it for everything related to us, nor does it mean we know when to use it, esp when it's to find smt we didn't know existed beforehand or to look up smt that didn't immediately come to our attention. Only if she was told beforehand would it be really fair to say she had google and should've known/researched.
    3
  677.  @swapnagupta370  it depends. Not every school is going to cover all aspects of ww2 the same, and I expect SK mostly focused more on Japan's colonization over anything else. And ppl in the west certainly don't learn abt the eastern side of the war, despite it being the same war and just as atrocious. Just check the Demon Slayer western fandom and you can see ppl are willing to wear replicas of the rising sun earrings bc they don't really understand the significance behind the symbol (the earrings don't even get real criticism for including the rising sun lines despite them not even being on the playing card the design is supposedly based off of).
    3
  678.  @swapnagupta370  sure, I'm not saying that it doesn't deserve to be called out or she should be kept uninformed. I'm only saying that it's a bit much to expect ppl to know everything just bc they have the internet or went to school. And a good school system doesn't mean much, in and of itself, either. If SK is focused and specialized, by and large, in every aspect of history on all levels of education, then I can see where you're coming from. But best education system doesn't guarantee that all students are highly knowledgeable in all areas of academics (otherwise, specialized majors wouldn't be a thing at all). Plus, WW2 is not the only big event to ever happen in history. Unless you take classes purely focused on ww2, a general school system mostly goes over basics and will focus primarily on whatever involves their country, in particular. And just bc SK has a generally good school system doesn't mean that all of its schools are at the same level or that all the students are also going to retain everything either, esp knowledge that doesn't directly pertain to them. I mean, do you remember everything you were ever tested on in school, even in major exams? Do you remember everything your school taught over ww2 that isn't related to you or your country? Again, calling her out for the clothes isn't wrong, and it's good to get ppl informed abt things like this. And unless there's smt to show that she did have prior knowledge, condemning her for not knowing better beforehand, esp when you don't actually know her or what she knows, is also ignorance and an unnecessary malice.

  684. Um, my 2 cents in. You're talking about 2 now extremely different cultures with different economy, government, education, etc. that have an entirety of a civilization supporting on both sides. Add in generations of separation and growth apart and you might as well call them 2 different countries that just happen to have a similar name and speak the same language. Trying to make them join is like trying to make any 2 neighboring countries join. It's not going to be a pretty process and most likely will end in violence and death (not even exaggerating). I mean, imagine if your country decided it should join with another, which is very different from your own and has a history of fighting with your country. Even if there's an international mediator, do you see it ending peacefully with everyone agreeing to what some outsider says? Would you give up any of your standards of living as a compromise just to join with a country that doesn't really want to either? It's that mindset.

  695. I'd more say that ppl, after a certain ages, should retake a driver's exam in order to still be allowed on the roads. But idk if 68 is an age to say that sm1 is too impaired to drive bc of old age (tho, I have seen older generations be stupidly reckless abt vehicle safety). And for this case, it seems like the driver may have also been stupid and reckless rather than just impaired bc of old age.

  698.  @haleyriggz4741  Exactly! There are a lot of ARMYs in SA and BTS love their fans. And there are a lot of people in SA that could benefit from seeing BTS, with their message of self-love. BTS could be a chance to open doors for more love in places that really need it, so it's sad to see that people would take this the worst way before anything even happens.

  699. All the best to ENHYPEN with their debut! 🙌

  700. ​ @Tadpole-d6n  the way they treat them seems like deserving behavior to you? Deliberately spreading false information to the gp and downplaying/hating on them is deserving behavior? Bc they've done all that. Granted the way they've acted even caused celebs to take unfortunate actions, so I'd say they really don't deserve any grace from celebs.

  703. It's the calling part that gets me, but once I actually get to talk to a person, I'm good. But that's only unless they keep the call going longer than it needs to or I have to call back, then I get frustrated and annoyed and don't want to do it again. So, I prefer to use other methods of communication first and to save making a call for when it really needs to be done (and preferably only needs to be done once).

  706. Not going lie, but for a second there, I thought this was some insane thing where a bunch of people were planning to scale up the side of a building. I couldn't believe you'd be that crazy. But this makes much more sense. This is pretty cool; you can always take an elevator if you want to opt out instead of being stranded in the middle of nowhere. And you're more likely to find a water source nearby too. And there's somewhere to sit and rest when you're too tired.

  707. How interesting! I think there's a Vietnamese version of this that also adds in peanuts (tho, there's also a type that is just sesame) that I ate sometimes as a child. Can't remember what it was called, but it was rather chewy rather than purely crunchy from what I recall. But now, I want to eat it again 😅 and try this recipe to taste the difference.

  708. These are good points. It's unfortunate and may be rare, but even ppl who seem perfectly healthy can develop sudden life-threatening health complications that get caught too late.

  709. Not surprised that they want clarification soon since they tend to make their schedules a year in advance and there's been recent talks of alt services, if not exemptions, and that'll have to be put into consideration for future activities. Ngl, as the gov has been dragging it on for yrs, I'd prefer to not hear abt the topic until there's finally a clear decision. It's not like my opinion is going to matter and it's just putting our guys in an unnecessary spotlight when, currently, it's all a political/legal issue, as it's abt a gov's decision to make/pass a law.
    3
  710. The original was weirdly more grounded in reality by having these stereotypes and uncomfortable moments tho. These are things that happen irl. Also, I feel that by downplaying some of the cursing, the scenes fail to convey the proper levels of resentment/disdain the characters are supposed to be feeling. Same with some of the other censoring the remake did. We lose a lot of great/fun storylines and character journeys bc of it.
    3
  711. I also don't understand why outsiders expect those cultures, who originated the symbol, to bear the negative consequences caused solely by an unrelated grp appropriating the symbol for their own misuse. However, I do understand informing foreign visitors of what can be seen as offensive behaviors in our country and requesting they stop while they are in our country.
    3
  712. 10:08 it's even wilder to me that your medieval lasagna video shows that the concept of eating by picking smt up with a stick was already known in the west but somehow the concept of using 2 sticks still was not.

  715. I'm surprised the owners/manager just don't set a ban for bringing in a power strip like this (or a charge, tho that might be difficult?). It wouldn't be unreasonable either. And I would suggest that owners change the furniture to those uncomfortably small tables that you can barely put coffee/food on. Those were good deterrents that made me avoid setting up a study space. I agree with other cmmts that proper etiquette is buying smt every so often if you're going to stay hours at a cafe. Also, don't bring outside food to a food place. And ngl, I followed the "15min = free seat" rule as a student. When I would see an empty seat and lack of available outlet space for 15mins, I would unplug and move stuff over and assume it was forgotten (tho, I do clarify with staff first if they knew where the owner was). And yeah, ik I'm being an a**hole doing that.

  716. ​@vhgfhfghj yeah, this is the essential point I believe the guest was trying to get at. Americans are fine with helping, as long as help only goes to ppl they want to have get help and no one can agree who that should be but most everyone have ppl they don't want it to be.

  727. Porn should never be nonconsensual. But my main problem with the videos wasn't so much with the sharing of them, but the taking of and sharing of them secretly without the person's consent and the insinuations that many of the videos were real rape videos. And the texts in the chat that straight up said that raping unconscious/drugged women was a normal occurrence for some of the people in the chat. And the implication that these activities have been going on for years. These people are all trash and need to be dealt with like so. And if he does try to make a comeback or "make nice" on variety shows after this, his ass (and everyone helping him) better get dragged and burned.
    3
  728. Buy first and listen later...bc they have faith in them. Yeah, that pretty much reflects my BTS comeback/album buying habits. It also reflects my habits of buying a brand when I'm already invested in the product (like a movie franchise or book series). Bc I already know that I'm receptive to the product, I then am able to act in a manner that enhances my consumption experience. For example, I'll actively avoid any spoilers by not reading reviews or tuning into areas I know will be touching on the product until after I've listen/watch/read first and then I'll binge on all of the areas that are connected to the product, i.e. the reviews, reactions, fan community boards, etc. By doing it this way, I'm able to be an active participant in these areas, with my own input I'm able to add, instead of being a passive and/or silent observer.

  729. I love how BTS always introduces and explore references from so many different sources that I, otherwise, never would have known. I love that they don't limit their inspirations and really delve into diverse areas while they still maintain their roots. Truly world-class acts! ☆♡☆ Je t'aime, Tae! Je t'aime, BTS!

  751. @tedkim7347  I wouldn't say no choice. She had the choice of telling ppl that the girls have nothing to do with it and ask ppl not to include them in their questions. That'd be the responsible way to handle it. But I agree that any real issues should be left to the courts. I really have no sympathy over either side with this. Both sides really just brought this mess to themselves bc they both should've known better, with their backgrounds. I only feel bad for the artists for being dragged into an spat of rich egotists being greedy.

  752.  @johnnyjack3268  please don't misunderstand, I'm not saying Hybe was right or that she is just evil. I'm saying both are as bad the the other and don't deserve public sympathy. Any sympathy should just be for the artists that got dragged into this

  759.  @warriorforgod5949  The law itself is bias and discriminatory. It's an outdated notion, especially when there's nothing to link a loss of genitalia with being medically unfit to serve. These kinds of laws are ones that need change. In any event, I hope she's able to re-enlist as a female soldier.
    2
  760. I think it's a problem with the phrasing because I didn't read those comments as accusing the kid for being at fault or at the kid's responsibility for those deaths. I think those comments were saying that if people would've just taken the kid seriously, it could've been possible to have prevented deaths because more people would've been on notice. Not saying that it would have actually made the outcome better. We'll never know for sure what could've happened. But generally, people have a better chance with handling situations when they're forewarned and take action on those warnings. I just hope people start taking these warning a little more seriously, especially in these times, even if the messenger is "only a kid." All the best to the survivors and the families of the decedents.

  781. Crazy how this is the most common sentiment amongst the ppl actually there. Kpop stans went beyond criticism to just be weird in hating on them. The contrast gets even more obvious when compared to any type of criticism from non-kpop stans, who were notably more positive in their sentiments by seeing shortcomings as areas that could be improved with more practice/experience, while praising the grp for things like performing live and clearly going all out the best they could to keep up the energy of the crowd.

  787. I was already a fan of both before BTS released their newest album's, Persona, song title track. The album is connected to Map of the Soul by Murray Stein, which explored the psychological theories of Carl Jung, who used Dionysus in one of his theories. Red, as usual, does an excellent analysis on mythological figure, such as here, so it's no surprise to me that a lot of kpop fans are checking her vid out.

  793.  @yoana.ivanova  Same. I'm a social introvert. I like being around and interacting with people. But only as long as I know when I'm expected to do so. I can't do spontaneous social events because I need time to charge up for them and I need to be able to plan time to recharge after. But generally, if you give me enough advance notice, I'm basically down for anything. Just also don't expect to see me at all the next day after a big event 😅😅😅

  797.  @kelincitonggos4781  Well, he says the idea of "kpop" needs to be redefined and he's right. Kpop encompasses a lot of different kinds of music and the language and idols aren't always Korean. And it certainly doesn't pertain to a certain style either. It's my personal opinion but I felt this comment was mostly aimed at the west with its limited understanding of kpop and its tendency to group everything under this umbrella despite songs clearly fitting into specific music categories that already exist (at least, that's what I'd want the western music industry to take away from it).
    2
  798.  @charstar386  tbf, this is only for the injunction for the next shareholders' meeting, the main case, with the police investigation and the audit, are still ongoing. Hybe CEO already gave the official statement that they'll allow the injunction but it only applies to mhj as is, and there's nothing stopping Hybe from either kicking ppl out or restructuring Ador, including creating new positions to undermine the directors' authority (esp, as the ongoing investigation gives them ample excuse anyways).

  799.  @ziaerin  then we're not THE toxic fandom, just A toxic one (reading comprehension ;D). But in all seriousness, with the size of the fandom, we're bound to have some toxicity. I think it's the same for every big fandom tbh. After you reach a certain size... Edit: I should say that the toxicity is mostly with the vocal minority and questionable "ARMY"

  806. More cellphone time. These men are adults; treat them like so. They should be capable of learning how to properly prioritize phone time and also handling the consequences in case of misuse/slacking off. And if military can already afford to give out more holidays, they just should do so, regardless of this phone usage issue. This type of segment seems pretty interesting. My suggestion would be to interchange the for and against street interview opinions to a 1:1 format (I mean to show one argument for and then one argument against and then the next argument for and so on), so both sides are more evenly presented. But let me get this straight. KN brought in a new guy and put him on the less popular side for his first segment? That's cold. 😔

  813. For other professions, I'd agree. But comedians have always been like this (including the ones who came to the past WHCD), especially when making others face the harsh truth of reality. And any type of humor, especially low-brow, should be expected from people working in comedy.

  829. Generally, I don't care for stories where I despise the main characters. And I absolutely loathe nearly all the characters in this book (except for, I think, 2-3 side characters), which made it really hard for me to get through or enjoy the novel (similar to my feelings on the show, 'Breaking Bad'). Bronte made me root for Catherine's and Heathcliff's downfalls so bad. However, I can appreciate that this novel was excellent in how she crafted her characters and explored the harsher and devastating sides of the concept of "love" and the duality of the human nature in the orderliness of society. So, objectively, I can say this is a good novel, but it'll never be one I prefer.
    2
  830. That's too much. That poor horse didn't deserve to go like that. Who thought that was a good idea anyways? And not to mention what a horribly reckless thing to put the stuntperson through too. I know they go through a lot of hard scenes, but I can't see any viable need to go that far. Glad that ppl rallied to protest this.
    2
  831. I hope the conflicts won't affect the fan meetings. BTS and J-ARMYs don't deserve being separated by politics. ARMYs support BTS no matter where we come from.

  839. @jeghetersoojeong  sounds like you aren't checking the timeline. Audits have to be publicly announced bc of legalities. Hybe isn't a private company to just do things internally without announcements to their stockholders, the public. They apparently had enough on Ador, not just MHJ, to initiate one. She could've just made the legal response statement, complied to the audit (smt she still didn't do by the time of the presscon) and wait for the courts to absolve her if she did nothing wrong, but she's the one to make this a bigger public fiasco and make it abt how Hybe is doing this bc she went to complain to them first. The way she's going on press conferences and radio to not answer or downplay her legal allegations and just spread company gossip, when she's the highest paid CEO of Hybe's sub, shows she just as bad as any other CEO she's trying to vilify. Bc she's trying to make herself out as only a victim, despite being a successful veteran in this field and having the experience and influence to know better abt the contracts she signs. Plus, the way she put focus on the artists, who actually have way less power and influence she does, is just gross and wrong. But both she and Hybe brought this upon themselves. Neither she nor any executive from Hybe deserves public sympathy. All sympathy should stay with only the artists being caught up in a fight between greedy CEOs.
    2
  840. @jeghetersoojeong  sure, 3rd party "lawyers" who have no access to any actual legal information are going on sns to give their spiel are definitely going to know what's really going on. 🙄 The only thing they got right is that no one has given anything conclusive and that's why it's foolish to take a side. I'm not sympathetic to Hybe, but they're not trying to act like some innocent victim. I just think she's as gross as them and it's hilarious that ppl like you are taking her side when all she's done is the same thing Hybe has done: say words without giving anything to back them up and use the artists as shields for themselves. Sorry to hear that you're drinking MHJ's kool-aid, but ig those 20yrs of being a successful creative director means she's good as selling an image.

  841. Tae and Jose. They both knew their stuff.

  842. China really believed that BTS, a South Korean group, should say thanks to China, the ones who were fighting against and killing South Korean citizens??? Do they want Holocaust victims to say thanks to Nazis too? It's even more ridiculous bc BTS never even mentioned China. But China got over-sensitive bc its people don't seem to know its own history. smh.

  844. For now

  845. Now, I can see the argument against releasing mugshots of ppl only arrested but not yet formally convicted bc of a potential wrongful arrest, but I would think public interest and security would tip the scales to release candid pics once a conviction is officially set.

  846. Certainly not if you're going to be the type of "fan" he's expecting to have now. Sheesh, GD comes back after a long hiatus and you make his return all about how it affects BTS. smh

  851. Though it is bizarre that you want the victims to be the ones doing the leg-work for stopping discrimination against them. You should be going after non-Asian celebs or just any non-Asians to speak up and take a stand to support Asians, especially those who benefit from the Asian community.

  861. I kind of disagree with Roy's take on not having a "target of blame," so to speak, for the dark side of the performative acts in the west. In the west, blame is directed towards the artists' labels or organizations (like with sports, you'll have the nfl, nba, fifa, etc. and you have classical arts schools, academies, troupes, etc. such as Juilliards too). And this is fine bc those are the ones who set up the system of how the acts are allowed to operate and perform. And this is how it should be seen in kpop too. Blame should be directed to those who have the control/authority to set up the system of how their artists perform. The disconnect is that ppl in the west are more likely to treat the same critiques as individual cases or a separate aspect to the rest of their respective industry in the west, but with kpop, conversations abt it seem to have the tendency to take individual or separate issues, like with a particular company, and say all of kpop is like that. We don't see the corruption happening in FIFA and turn to denounce all of soccer/football as corrupt and no one should even play/support it bc it feeds into the corruption. And even concerns that are a industry-wide issue (like the whole medical health issue that came out bc of all the concussions from nfl players or wwe wrestlers or the whole starving models thing) aren't often the forefront focus of the entire industry that ppl keep bringing it up practically every time the industry is talked about. Roy points to 3 main Big labels that basically produced most of the more successful grps in the 1st and 2nd generations of kpop idols, but there are hundreds of kpop labels that don't operate the same way as the Big 3 or even operate like each other, just like how western music labels, even those working the same genre, are not all the same. We see the horrible situations that Megan and Kesha got into with their labels, but why don't we have this mass automatic assumption that Ariana or Lizzo or Olivia are being treated the same way? So, it's weird to treat this "dark side" as a homogeneous thing that must apply to every label's idols the same way, when the ups and downs of the industry are basically similar to any other industry: it's nuanced and dependent on many factors that may or may not apply to the rest of the industry it's apart of.

  863. Can we also work to eliminate older ppl trying to force younger ppl to drink? I was lucky to go through my whole education experience without having my schoolmates ever peer pressuring me into drinking, even after coming of age, but then I started working and ppl (esp those much older and in higher positions) would be so weird abt me choosing to not drink. Ngl, that switch up made me feel how gross the situation is when it happened bc why would these ppl who didn't even know me that well want me to be inebriated so badly?

  864. I remember doing this as a kid but never seen it with a group this big before. Edit: oh, but not the jump rope part, never seen it done like that before. Wow!

  872.  @kristyna786  Because they actually have a concert date and venue already announced and already renewed their contract. And their spokesperson also clarified that the break is only 2 months in an official statement.

  873. I just interrupted one video of BTS to watch this video of BTS, and a BTS ad played before the video did. This is exactly how my YT experience should be.

  874. Crazy how Seungri likened himself to the Wolf of Wall Street, but we only thought it was abt his flamboyant partying. But this was him giving us hints abt how trash he's been this whole time.
    2
  875. Or calamitous, depending on the person.
    2
  876. I think that they were just trying to kick out everyone who wasn't a hardcore ARMY in order to find the mole and win the game. It wasn't trying to say that not knowing everything about BTS meant you aren't ARMY. It was just strategy. Edit: but to answer your question, I don't think ARMYs don't have to be involved with everything BTS to be ARMY.
    2
  877. One famous couple whose story I'm pretty interested in would be King Gongmin and Queen Noguk. Theirs was basically a hostage marriage but they winded up actually falling in love and took the first steps to strip away what is now Korea (formerly Goryeo) from Mongol control. There's a little bit of a starrcrossed lovers theme in that Noguk was a Mongolian Princess while Gongmin was the next in line for the Korean throne at the time of their marriage. However, as all great love stories in history go, theirs was also a tragic one and a good lesson on why you shouldn't make your life revolve around your partner. Noguk died during childbirth (after years of trying to conceive) and Gongmin refused to take on another wife because he believed no woman could ever match/replace Noguk. He turned exclusively to male lovers instead and later winded up being killed by one of his concubines and her lover after he discovered she was pregnant (cause he knew the baby couldn't be his--though he apparently was only going to kill her lover when he found out). And he also completely disregarded the state of affairs in his government right in the middle of his attempted reforms and spent most of his time by his wife's grave, lamenting why she left him alone.

  881.  @rabbit4376  it's bc njns refuse to implicate her. They actually raised the complaint when mhj was ceo, and belift and mhj/ador were supposed to do their own investigation. But mhj didn't and belift did and gave this footage they found to hybe pr, saying it was all they could find, and everyone reviewed the video. Hybe pr said there wasn't enough to determine what story was true and made a generic "remember to be kind/professional at work" statement, and neither belift nor mhj objected to it. It was only months later, after mhj left and it was too late to review any new the footage did njns say there was a different date and then tried to spin it as hybe purposefully deleting footage when the truth is that mhj neglected her duties of conducting her own investigation (but belift cared enough abt their staff to do their own investigation, which is why we have this footage) and also neglected to request for further investigation after seeing this video and hearing hybe pr's official statement. But njns refuse to acknowledge that mhj is most at fault for failing to get footage if there was a 2nd meeting. And njns also had access to hybe pr's statement too. If they really thought it was a real issue, why didn't they make a formal complaint when hybe pr made their statement? Why did they wait months, after everything has been decided, to finally ask to see the footage or say their initial report was wrong? They tried to say it was traumatic, but the entire time, they didn't act like it's important enough to do anything abt it until they needed smt to claim mistreatment.

  886. Probably bc of extradition agreements between the 2 countries (usually, countries are more willing to extradite when the perps and victims are from the other country).
    2
  887. I don't really see how three 10K won vs one 30K won would be so different for smt like sebaetdon (unless there's some kind of cultural significance for not stuffing an envelope with extra bills), but I could see how a 30K bill would help curb overspending or overpaying, so I hope it gets approved.
    2
  888. Seriously, Global Times is so toxic. It makes a bunch of articles based on cnetz' irrational reactions to call BTS anti-China, then deletes their articles to pretend they didn't just fuel the irrationality of cnetz, and then blame k-media for doing exactly what Global Times did when they didn't!? Global Times is acting exactly like those abusive bf/gf those dating PSAs warn you about. You know, the ones that will cheat on you but then turn around and accuse you of cheating when you try to confront them. 😒😑

  891.  @bqanto  that would make sense. The parents really should get their own lawyers and enforce a neutral stance until the corporate battles are over. It's not fair or right to have regular ppl or the artists be pushed into any of this when they have no real say on what happens in the corporate settings beyond the artists' contracts.

  892. Just realized the re-release was bc they added lyrics 😅

  893. For some reason, the first part of this episode (about the dreamscape) gave me Gargoyles flashbacks.
    2
  894. Exactly. KN shouldn't be posting the video at all.
    2
  895. I will never understand how Family Matters disappeared a whole character like that. Study-abroad scholarship, summer camp, she's always hanging out with her friends and is rarely around. They could've even done a secretly adopted and now her real parents want her back soap opera story for an episode. Convoluted, but at least that'd be something and it honestly wouldn't be so far left field in FM's universe.

  903.  @namename-ph7bg  I expect that, just like for men, women who have smt that completely prevents them from being able to serve would be able to be excused from service. But an able-bodied woman should be subject to a draft just the same as any able-bodied man.

  904. But as she was the mole, I wonder how much of what she said was the truth and how much was just her trying to cover her tracks for not knowing much about BTS... °-°

    2
  910. Ah, no mention abt how Swifties were the ones to get the book's reveal early? It's just funny how they mistook the author by themselves and got the book go best seller pre-reveal, only to make the book drastically drop after an official denial was released, only to make the book jump back to the top again when the BTS reveal was officially released after that. Definitely going to be a memorable Bangtan moment for me.

  913. Namjoon is so humble, but BTS really aren't "just" anything. They're really special to us.

  914. Yeah, I would've loved to have seen newer gen fans be on here and talk abt how things are so different from fan experience from 1st gen to 4th gen and even the half era-gen.
    2
  915.  @rmarie6764  Oh, yeah. It happens even with US laws too, but those usually will explicitly say the law applies to Americans abroad. But the US can actually charge its citizen for breaking US laws overseas. However, those laws tend to be for things connected to the US (like national security or taxes). If you ever are planning a trip abroad, I'd suggest checking up on the laws and rights applicable to you for the country you're traveling to.

  940. Regardless of how the attendees there reacted, the most essential thing missing was proper crowd control, which was a failing primarly (and really only) on the authorities for lacking. I can't believe this amount of victim blaming going on. Regular citizens can't and shouldn't be expected to take charge of a crowd of that size, esp once things got that bad and esp when there wasn't proper means for regular ppl to communicate with or take control of the whole crowd (that's why authorities put up signs and road indicators before the event and are physically there to direct ppl, with equipment to properly make announcements to large grps and to each other from different locations). And a**holes and idiots, as well as ppl acting on desperation, have existed in other crowded locations (festivals, concerts, bars, sporting events, etc.) without smt like a crush occurring bc proper crowd control measures were in place. A little more compassionate isn't unwarranted towards ppl who needlessly lost their lives for smt that could've been easily prevented if only those in charge actually did their jobs properly.

  943. ​ @stoverroger  they didn't say how long the break was going to be at all. That's conflating 2 different conversations. The time they gave was only said for how long it'll take to get a grammy producer, but that doesn't mean they couldn't work with nongrammy producers or do other stuff, like variety shows or brand events in the meantime.

  944. Ummm, I think it's part of the government's policy, so they should be following the same guidelines when they travel out of country. I believe they're vaccinated already (at least, I heard they were) but am not 100% if that's true.

  945.  @danijeld8669  This is the main reason why I don't think any current group would benefit from a change in the exemption laws and also because amending laws are generally a painstakingly long process that should require lawmakers to contemplate on how to consider similar situations in which the amended law won't need to be changed again. (Though I do wonder if something like a deferment could be a legal compromise?). And you bring up an interesting point on maintaining readiness, especially as the enlistment seems to be a one-time deal and one can argue that many able-bodied men have already served and most likely aren't keeping to military physical conditions if no post-military program exist. I also wonder how many are currently in active service and how the rate of those serving fluctuates each year and how they compare to, say, 50-60 years ago.
    2
  946. Oooh, this is an interesting take~ I'm glad people are so positive about South Korea. I agree that brokering peace between the North and South would be ideal but also share concerns with how economy and government would play out. I don't know if the two will form a single government or keep separate governments. I wonder how that would shape the country as well. I've been impressed thus far with the innovation and serious leg-work President Moon's administration has put into the issues of the country, especially in the similar issues that many leaders won't touch in their own countries. He's an admirable leader.

The US is lagging far behind in that department, which somewhat makes sense, as the US has been developed as being vehicle preferred/friendly. You almost can't even get by without some access to a personal vehicle.

  953. I find this inspiring. Though they didn't become part of BTS, they and around 30 others lived an experience that makes me think, 'wow, they were really able to really live their lives.' That's a respectable thing to be able to do, even if the outcome isn't what one would expect or hope for. I hope that the trainees we don't hear abt are able to have fulfilling lives in whatever road they decided to embark on afterwards. I also hope that they are able to see this time as a stepping stone for their future and not as any sort of failure. It was awesome to hear abt Jihun and Jihwan. All the best to them and their futures!

  955. It sounds like any copyright issue would be with Garcia though, bc he, as the creator, sold the melody to 2 artists, so he should know whether or not a buyer has an exclusive right, correct? Then wouldn't that make it more likely that both Debonaire and BHM are the victims if there was a copyright issue (tho, I don't think Debonaire has done a follow-up to explain he has exclusive rights, unless I'm late to that news)? But I also think that as Garcia is the creator, he has way more leeway for claiming both melodies are different and only sound similar bc they're both from him (I guess, would it be similar to artists who'll do the same artwork over and over with slight differences?).

  1000.  @notaspeck6104  And this is what I mean by ignorance against non-western cultures and histories. Did you not familiarize yourself with Korean culture/history before forming your opinion how a country should regard its own history? Or at the very least, check the designer's statement about his design? The shirt is less to do with celebration of a bomb and the designer's explanation of it is more in line with the Korean concept of "han". In simple explanation in regards to the design, it's a remembrance of how smt that ended up being positive/celebrated (not quite the right sentiment but close enough, ig) could only come about bc of smt so tragic happening first. Korean captives were also in the places that were bombed and affected by the bombing. Why would anyone celebrate that? However, there's nothing wrong with ppl celebrating liberation from their oppressors while acknowledging the extent of what it took for them to gain that freedom.

  1013.  @anna_krasnogor  It's because BTS is categorized as kpop in the west and is therefore treated as being related to all things kpop by western media. So any kpop related scandal is somehow also going to be connected to them (regardless of how far removed the guys actually are from the incident). It's good for fans to stay aware of the situation to be able to correct any misinformation.

  1020. @tedkim7347  eh, does she adore them or this project that they're apart of? It makes me question her when she brings their reactions and their parents into the forefront public scrutiny instead of keeping focus to herself and the corporate issues and telling ppl to not include the girls. It sucks that their actions are now also being judged in the court of public opinion. I do think she does see it ad true in that NJ is not getting the corporate focus that she wants from them. From her words, she seems to want Hybe to act like a label. But Hybe isn't a label, but a parent company that needs to divide its assets among many labels. And what's she's brought up (Hybe too, I won't deny that) has been mostly she said vs what they said. She said they broke their promise, they said they didn't. She said they didn't contact her directly, they said they did but she didn't respond. This really should be for the courts to conclude first before the public should pick a side.

  1047. Think this is the first time that I've already seen/known about so many of these clips (only 3 things tho 😅) before watching the video: I saw the stuck sheep from twt. I heard about the Josh event earlier. It's awesome that the donations from the event went to the same children's hospital that the winner received treatment from. And I knew about the black chicken bc I was looking up black Silkie chicken (the one in the video is the Ayam Cemani chicken but both breeds produce chickens with the same dermal hyperpigmentation but the cemani is more extreme) for chinese black chicken soup. But the black silkie is a lot more affordable than the black cemani. But the transparent skin of toucans was definitely new!

  1048. @gh-ps5es  but that's the point why it's foolish to take a side in this rn. All we really have are mostly he-said/she-said allegations, including what you're saying here, so picking a side now is going to be mostly from emotional/perception bias.
    1
  1049. @gh-ps5es  Also, the fact that she's been successful in this industry for so long means she's not some newbie being forced into a slave contract while not knowing any better, despite that's how she's trying to come across. It's interesting how she talks to circle around addressing her criminal allegations and how she deags idols into it when she could've just as easily said they weren't involved. It seems you might want to take your own advice to avoid being blinded by sensationalism.
    1
  1050. @gh-ps5es  did you not look up why Hybe is asking her to step down or hand over her laptop? Corporate espionage, attempted takeover, leaking confidential and private information abt both the company and the staff (the artists, included). Those are criminal acts (and not all is on MHJ either, tho) that she either downplayed or avoided to address. Stating this isn't bullying when it's a report on why Hybe is doing an audit and if she is being non-compliant, like they cliam. And it's less me being neutral, and more that I'm not on either side for this. If Hybe did smt like this, I'd put them on blast too. If she was clean in this, she really should've lawyered up, released her statement, and left it to the courts, rather than make a spectacle of it all and put more pressure and scrutiny on the artists. And it's still doesn't change that rn, it's all a matter of what she claims as true vs what Hybe is saying is true. She said they didn't contact her; they're saying they tried and she didn't respond. She's saying she's stuck with Hybe bc of her contract, they're saying she was free to sell her shares and leave. She's said her contract is unfair; they said it was more than beneficial to her. She's saying Hybe worked against NJ, they're saying they didn't. She's said she made a report she never received an answer for, they're saying they did answer her. And they're said that she, along with other execs, were involved in criminal acts, which is why they're doing an audit, and she's denying or downplaying much of the allegations.
    1
  1051. @gh-ps5es  and it looks to me like you are the one who only wants to take one narrative as fact bc of bias. You're only using the conference to say she's in the right and a victim, instead of waiting for any actual conclusive evidence to support one side or the other.

  1052.  @Niki91-HR  I don't understand how you surmised that Asians, who've experienced racial discrimination in the US, as not being connected to a discussion of anti-Asian hate happening in the US, as well as it happening world-wide. Tbf, the AANHPI community is addressing the uptick of global anti-Asian hate crimes happening, as well as how this is affecting our community. I believe that BTS, being Asian and global artists, are a perfectly fine pick to utilize their platform to spread awareness and bring in more engagement. And not to mention, I wouldn't call this only an American issue. Caring abt ppl targeted by racism shouldn't be limited to only Americans. Racists do not care abt citizenship anyways. When they decide to target hate towards Asians, it doesn't matter to them if they are fellow countrymen. They target anyone who looks or is Asian, and that includes ppl who are temp residents, here on school/work visas, visitors, and other non-Americans who are in the US. And that's smt I think should be addressed and acknowledged.
    1
  1053.  @Niki91-HR  Okay, I get a bit where you're coming from, but I'd have to also point out that circumstances over how the countries are addressing these issues are different as well, which come into play. The US and the AANHPI community are actively approaching the anti-Asian hate issue as a global issue, as well as a national issue, so they opened the door on their end and reached out first. It's not like BTS injected themselves into the conversations. So, your analogy with SK and feminism wouldn't be the same. In SK (as far as I know), the gov isn't largely addressing the issue of feminism (actually, I think the current president elect ran on an anti-feminist platform, but correct me if I'm wrong). Smt like this would be more like when Justin Beiber was invited to meet the French president to discuss abt issues concerning youths. Of course, I'm not saying that it wouldn't be nice for SK's gov to also address these issues (or their other pressing issues), but as racism is also being treated as a global issue in the US, and as the WH has been part of many meetings and discussions around issues concerning the AANHPI community (with ppl/organizations both part of the community and some outside it, who also run on global platforms), with anti-Asian hate crimes being a main concern, I wouldn't find BTS's invitation or involvement strange, esp as they aren't the only or main guests in the WH's long list of invitees for the events of AANHPI Heritage Month. Mostly bc BTS has a vocal and public global anti-violence campaign with UNICEF, as well as with them being Asian with their experience of racism on a global scale including the US, and bc of the PR opportunity that comes with them (the coverage and talk they garner with being connected can bring more awareness of what the AANHPI community is doing too). Idk if that helps clear things up for you. Of course, it might still not be smt you agree with, but that's probably where the connections are stemming from.

  1058. It's funny how often antis try to slap the plagiarism label on the group, only to be proven that haters are nothing but obsessive clowns 🤡 But it's disgusting how often the media runs with these allegations instead of doing their jobs as journalists to research and write the truth/facts of the matter. Instead, they tend to take the trash media route of fabricating stories, outright falsifying facts, or only sharing parts of the situation to suit their own narratives for clout (looking at you, Hypebeast --focused on the "provision of knowledge," pls, just say you're a tabloid and go).

  1063. @KingKikikoi  uh, she was the one to start and keep talking abt the NJ girls' reactions. No one was forcing her on that. If she cared abt them, she would've tried to leave them out as much as possible. For all of her other issues, at the moment, it's all he-said/she-said that MHJ addressed or brought up, and really, they should be smt to wait for the courts to decide before saying one side was right over the other, if any were "right." Remember, she's not a newbie kid being tricked or forced into a slave contract. She's an established and long-time player in this industry. She should know better abt how contracts work to know how to not get into one that would be completely unfair to her. And Hybe really also should've been aware of the consequences of their own actions, as well, so there's no sympathy on my part for them. It's just rich ppl getting into a fight that came bc they were being greedy. It's really their artists, who are being dragged into this, that I feel for. And considering how she was dancing around and downplaying the criminal allegations against her, and the fact that she confirmed many of the non-criminal but still suss allegations despite downplaying them, it does not look like she's a blameless victim either.

  1071. I really like this K-Diamond ♡ Just goes to show that ARMYs aren't a bunch of "crazed fangirls." We're just a bunch of different people who so happens to like the same music group. As for the differences between regular ARMY and official ARMY, I didn't find her dismissive/elitist about it but merely informative on the processes of getting in the official fanclub and what comes from it. We're all fans and are appreciated the same, but obviously, not all of us are going to have the same opportunities related to BTS. I mean, I'm an ARMY who's never had a chance to even go to their concerts, but I don't hate on ARMYs who do. I'm just thankful to those who share their experiences and give support to our boys~ ☆♡☆

It felt like it was written by someone new to kpop but at least wasn't so lazy as to not do basic research of what they were writing about (unlike so many new-to-kpop writers in the past couple of years--coughVarietycough). I hope more journalists approach topics with the same open and driven mindset for understanding a new subject, especially if they take on a responsibility to give reports on it.

  1083. I relate most with the restrained type (yay! Chimmy! 💜) and second most with the social type. While I have some traits I relate to with thinking and anxious introvert (like being very introspective and tending to analyze my past behaviors and prefering my own company above others), I also don't feel that I relate as much to those types. I'm not unopen to change and think I adapt well in new environments, but I do much prefer, and do best with, scheduling and order. I definitely need to have the forewarning for scheduling in get-togethers or events or even possible spontaneity in advance in order to feel comfortable with them but I'm pretty much cool with interacting in large crowd and with strangers. I just need to know durations for these times so I can be able to schedule in time to have ample downtime/me-time to either unwind or amp myself up for such events. For example, if my friend asks me to hang out with her but doesn't really have a plan for it, I'd need to know that at least a day or so in advance so I can prep for possibly being out with her all day. What we'll be doing or who will be with me is less stressful to me than when we do something. As long as I know what time I can be back home and actually make it back by that time, I'll most likely consider an event to be a good experience.

  1100. It's rather interesting abt how gruel has historic negative connotations, yet I believe that congee has a much better reputation in history in the east for many of the same reasons (being food that's largely connected with the sick and/or poor). I believe there was even a Chinese emperor who declared to have created congee in the first place, so maybe that played a role in its favorable reputation? But it's pretty much widely seen as a "good" dish basically anywhere in Asia (or at least, eastern Asia as far as I know). It's def the go-to dish in my family for anyone who's feeling under the weather.

  1104. ​ @bqanto  you're right. Apparently, and this is available to all Korean male citizens, they can be granted a postponement up to 5 times after turning 28yo before being required to serve. This isn't the same as the BTS law, which is more of an automatic 2yr postponement on request that's only available to those with a cultural merit award. And anyone feel free to correct me, but I think BTS also have the legal availability to request the 5 postponements even after the BTS law (obviously, they didn't do this, but legally, they should theoretically be allowed to postpone up until the age of 31-32).

  1106.  @obriendenis3965  it depends on their contracts, which is often based on the goals of the parent company. Like, Google and Apple being under the same parent company doesn't stop them from getting into conflicts over how they operate. And Hybe has not given any indication that they have contractual stipulations that allow subs to interfere with each other's operations either. Often, subs are too distant from each other and/or are not privy to the operations of each other so it becomes unreasonable to expect any type of communication system that would allow subs to keep each other in check. It's also bad business bc of how stalling and cumbersome keeping such a system would be. And that's not mentioning that having various different actors in charge with their own goals for their respective company would make it harder for different companies to come to mutual agreements to not get in each others' way. On whether or not there was copying going on is a separate matter to this. Edit: that doesn't mean there might not be restrictive clauses. If there is, then it'll become a legal matter between the companies, but again, bc each companies have their own goals/agendas, they could also see that any penalties from breaking clauses are worth it too. Likewise, it might not turn into a legal issue bc the other side doesn't see the benefits of pursuing legal penalties either. We just won't know why they acted the way they do without knowing the content of their contracts.
    1
  1107.  @obriendenis3965  it could also be bc it was unexpected in the culture of the industry. I don't believe there are other kpop parent companies (with multiple kpop-only labels, I mean), so most kpop companies operate as a singular entity, where those in charge aren't going to conflict with the goals of the company bc they're one and the same. Bc oif there were contract restrictions, it'd likely be more easy to just file for an injunction to enforce those restrictions rather than doing everything she's been doing. And considering everything else that's been coming out, it's likely not the only thing that's at issue with her.

  1109. Well, it's not the opposite. The lgbt community is supposed to be made of those who are not both sexually and romantically hetero, which is the societal "norm" Asexuality is still a sexual orientation that denotes of the lack of sexual attraction to the opposite sex (and every other gender/sex), so it doesn't fit in with being heterosexual.

"And we guard against... for UNNECESSARY care to be delivered" The fact that he is essentially admitting right here that he views the life-saving services uhc has denied as being unnecessary while at the same time trying to claim public reaction/lack of sympathy as being outrageous.

  1131. So glad that the WH invited them bc there's been such a lack of awareness of the events going on with AANHPI Month this year. Hopefully, their involvement will make next year's events reach a larger audience and encourage more participation. Further, I hope more ppl become aware that anti-Asian hate doesn't just happen in America or even just to Americans. And anti-Asian racists in the US don't care abt citizenship; they target anyone who is or looks Asian. So, non-Americans who experience anti-Asian discrimination in the US deserve to be acknowledged for this event too.

Bc part of the fascination I have with them as artists is watching how they grow and expand on their ideas and their art. It's so intriguing how their music makes it easy to follow their creative journey and musical growth. And I'm also excited that with this anthology and new tracks, we get more insight on their perspective of how they see their music as personal reflections on their past and present and their vision for their future at this point in their lives. Truly, top tier artists 💜

  1162. Woah, sorry, but that's really not what people are doing by putting a line between what constitutes a fan and a "particular fan" (such as ARMY). It's just part of the kpop culture because calling yourself a particular type of fan has deeper connotations than just being a regular fan. There's not something like superiority at play when we make distinctions (or at least, I've never seen it be as such). It just means that you declaring that you support that group in particular and want to be part of its fandom. This is integral to how the kpop community functions. It's not a way to put down people. There are plenty of fans who hesitate to name themselves as a "particular fan" because of how hardcore fandoms can be (and other reasons), and likewise, there are plenty of these "particular fan" who aren't that obsessed with the artists, but just want to show that they support that artist. Idk if I really explained it well, but I hope that helps.

Preconceived notions of both parties and candidates (mostly anti-Harris rather than pro-Trump), paired with large consumption of biased news media, selective non-belief (or shared belief) of the more negative and extreme rhetoric having actual substance, and having more immediate personalized concerns (ex. economy-jobs/prices) over long-term collective concerns (climate change, overseas wars, etc.).

    1
  1180. @KhusnunUmatjina  all you're showing is how poorly your judgment is if you think her speaking was appropriate on this platform. I already said it's fine for her to talk abt her experiences, but this wasn't an appropriate platform to do it. Everything that she's brought up as mistreatment still has not been proven and is still considered speculation, unlike the other cases I mentioned where the courts already confirmed everything and the abuse is far more clear. That alone makes bringing her over these other cases inappropriate. And it should be called into question about what kind of message the NA is trying to send to highlight someone who publicly and explicitly supports someone who has been called out on employee abuse by the abuse employee, esp in such an arena where employee abuse is supposed to be highlighted as a full negative. This isn't me remarking on her character. This is based on all facts. She has publicly supported mhj. Mhj is also publicly being accused and sued for employee abuse by the victim. The fact the NA still saw this as appropriate while ignoring other candidates that better showcase proven idol abuse and who aren't compromised by their public values should absolutely be called out. If you want to argue that Hanni was courageous for this, sure, by all means. It still doesn't change the fact that the NA acted like a bunch of clowns and treated a serious subject like a circus show.

  1184. I kind of disagree with the notion that Republicans stand on business, as a general. They only stand if they are guaranteed back-up by supporters or by Trump. The recent hearings, esp with JFKjr and that pro-Russian despot woman, show me that they are more than willing to bend over and disregard their moral values for Trump and his support.

  1187.  @Giovanna-tw5zz  I get where you're coming from but you really shouldn't use the generalization of their country to put words in their mouths. I don't recall hearing them actually say anything discouraging about how they felt when audiences cheer them on during interviews. If they have, please link me the source. The boys have been recorded saying that the fans' cheering and enthusiasm makes them less nervous. https://hellokpop.com/kpop/bts-credits-armys-exposure-power-fans/ https://m.vlive.tv/video/49001 I agree that it would be more polite especially to other listeners to reserve the cheering to in between them speaking. But I also think the audience has been getting better each interview as well and that's commendable to them.

  1188.  @Giovanna-tw5zz  Thanks for the article; it was a really nice one! I can't believe I missed it(I thought I was caught up~). I'm glad you took the time to explain. I've seen and responded to multiple comments of fans who DO actually use BTS as a means to voice their own opinions without having anything to show where they got the idea that BTS felt the same way. I read the article as J-Hope commenting on the more extreme behaviors ARMYs can and have pulled before, rather than a focus on fans cheering. Of course, because no one has pointed out the cheering specifically, it also doesn't mean it can be problematic, so I can understand your feelings and even agree to an extent. Although Korean society does place a lot of emphasis on respecting elders, I also know the extent of respect and attitudes varies between people and situations. I would imagine that as the boys have become more familiar with western culture, they are more understanding of different aspects to it (ex. I've notice that they don't tend to bow when introducing themselves in English like they would in an Asian society). And because the cheering during interviews has happened time and time again, they seem to be better prepared for it too (I notice they sometimes pause before finishing their answers). So, I don't disagree with your sentiment about ARMYs needing to curb on extreme behavior, but I do think the interviews have been getting less and less rowdy. This one was still nowhere near as bad as the 1st Ellen interview (at least, I was able to catch all their dialogue in this one). I also don't think we really know what we'll do in the same situation unless we were there either (at least I wouldn't), so I don't find it right to berate other ARMYs so harshly for defending such attitudes when the audience technically weren't being harmful. It's one thing to call ARMYs out when they're rude, but it's another to respond in such a critical manner to people trying to quell the harsher comments. I feel it tends to create more confrontation than actually guide members to acting more considerate. Thanks again for responding constructively! And for the article~ ☆♡☆

That's not even a Starbucks cup in the first place, so this whole outrage is just performative and lacks sincerity in any intentions of actual care/support for any claimed cause. And even on the off chance sm1 does actually care to this extent to attack consumers like this, then it's a waste of time, attention, and resources that could be better used to put collective focus on the main cause of conflict. It's not just idiotic action, but it's also damaging to any movements directed at what should be the actual focus of concern.

  1203.  @sonali111  look, if you want to waste your time and energy on consumers of a product, then waste that time and energy. The point is that it comes across as insincere and makes other related pro-Palestine movements feel insincere bc you have all this time and energy that's being wasted, not even focusing on the franchise that's taking a neutral stance, but on its consumers, who do not have an obligation to have known abt the franchise. And it feels even less sincere bc you're not even focusing on current issues, but you are wasting all that self-righteousness here, on a 3 week old video clip abt a non-affiliated kpop star who took down her post already.

  1204. ​ @sonali111 you complain how I perceive you while you do the same to sm1 else and completely miss the whole point I'm making is you coming across as insincere abt what's going on with Isreal/Palestine bc this is a waste of your apparent ample time/attention. I'm not saying you should support this person or Starbucks or anything like that. I'm saying that these kinds of actions are a waste of time/energy better spent elsewhere. How exactly is going back and forth in a dead cmmt section even helping you or this cause? This hasn't even done anything to make any effective changes. Yet you make it seem like this is more worth your time than things that have more direct impact to what's going on. Lool, if you still you still want to keep up this reply thread, that's fine, but ask yourself if it's actually worth it first.

  1206. Ironic bc the very first kpop grp, or what we know as kpop, came abt the same way. They were a kind of anti-establishment, power to the ppl, F the gov kind of grp that came about when Korea finally gained true democratic freedom and were an extreme outlier from the norm of then-current Korean "pop" music (it was only in the 80s that Korean ppl even got the right to vote--they were occupied/oppressed by Japan until WW2 and then they passed thru a series of military dictatorships). It was only later when companies saw that they could make a profit off it that it entered into this "manufactured" era (kind of like how it happened to hiphop) 👀

Even if the school gave the wrong address, the driver still has a duty to ensure the children get to their home/neighborhood safely when told smt is wrong. The driver should've at least kept the kid on the bus until they had a chance to get in touch with the school to find what was going on. And they could've argued to make the school pay for compensation for the extra work if they're the ones who gave the wrong address.

  1225. The ost sounds so good from what's been released! Suga and JK really delivered with this 💜 Abt 7FC, I think it's been pretty decent so far, but it's still too early to make any sound judgment abt it. From a manhwa enthusiast's standpoint, the potential is promising, but there's barely even 5 chapters out yet. It's still getting together the plot and setting. Plus, we haven't met all of its characters yet (and some of the characters introduced are still a mystery), so I'd take any final reviews/opinions abt this with a grain of salt. The art looks good and it's been easy to read so far, tho I hope it does better with the exposition and world-building, particularly in regards to the beom. I'd like to see more abt the consequence of their existence in the world with the general population (like, I need more bg abt these other hunters and their teams and how they got put together, did ppl always have special powers before or is this like a murim/secret, superpowered fighting society-type scenario, are there any offical systems in place to deal with the beom, are there guilds, etc.). This feels in league with the likes of S-class I Raised, Eleceed, or Noblesse, in that it's a modern setting with only a select "special" few of a majority guy cast, who are fighting with the supernatural. And it seems more geared towards the teen male audience.

  1266.  @WildberryAB  no, the point is that it isn't our business so we're not entitled to any explanation from him abt it and should leave it alone. And in his full response, he says ARMY is his gf, family, best friends, or whatever we want to call him as a quick throwaway line that didn't have any deeper meaning. If ppl want to read smt deeper into smt he said unseriously, that's a "them" issue that shouldn't be on him.
    1
  1267.  @WildberryAB  I mean, I get you, but at the same time, he's not actually our irl friend/family for it to be reasonable for us to have an expectation on how he addresses his private life to us. Being in a fan-celeb relationship isn't the same as being in a irl relationship, where both parties are able to freely communicate on both sides at a much more complex level. Bc, who's to say he wasn't telling the truth? It's not like you or I can actually met him and have a nuanced irl conversation with him. Even figuring out where personal boundaries are (like with how to joke) becomes an issue bc of this limitation. Even us talking thru these cmmts on yt puts a barrier to how well we're able to communicate to understand each other. I can only take what you write at face value bc I don't know you or your situation to get a full understanding from your pov and that should be vice versa with you to me. So, ig I can only say for me, as long as he isn't doing smt criminal/harmful and it isn't affecting his job (the thing we're his fans for), then I think we, as fans, are not entitled to anything regarding his private life, including him being truthful or not abt it.

  1268.  @WildberryAB  tho, I still say the bigger issue in this whole situation is the ppl stalking/harassing him and spreading secret videos while making up vile rumors abt it.

  1269.  @aidol-kpoppp  may 27. It was the only day during the initial timeframe hanni reported when the 2 grps could've met (illit was in Japan by the morning of the next day). The main issue is that both belift and ador (under mhj) had the same timeframe to search the raw footage to save anything to support their side's story (after a month, anything not requested to be saved is deleted bc of law requirements), but only belift seemed to have looked and saved this footage. Belift took the footage to hybe hr to mediate and hybe officially said the footage wasn't enough to say one way or the other. Belift and ador didn't object to hybe's statement when it was made. Months later, njns said it was a different date, but by then, it was too late to look for new footage bc the rest of the raw footage was not requested to be saved past the deletion date required by law. See, mhj could've done her due diligence to do initial investigation and properly look for a 2nd encounter but didn't, for whatever reason. She also could've objected to hybe's initial statement and requested further investigation bc she saw this same footage, but again, she didn't, for whatever reason. So, atp, any 2nd footage is only "alleged" to exist bc mhj did not try to look for a 2nd footage and no one brought any proof a 2nd encounter existed, and belift says this is the only footage of their interactions that month and brought proof of hanni's initial lack of care abt believing she overheard illit's manager say smt abt ignore. And, unless she heard the manager have this same convo twice and can prove it, her story is also just "alleged".

  1278. Just a correction, she said she does odd jobs and makes her own money, not that she lives off of her mom's money. Her mom says she makes her daughter food but that's not the same as being in any way dependent on her mother. So mom is telling her she should get married even though she lives on her own and is financially independent (maybe with an unstable paycheck, but still independent). But I agree that she should reevaluate her options to determine if this is really what she wants to do when there's so much risk in this lifestyle. But at the same time, if she decides that the value she gains from doing this is worth the burdens and risks and consequences, then it's her choice to do what she wants. And if she's not burdening/harming anyone else by doing this, no one else has the right to judge her sense of happiness in how she lives her own life.

  1292. I remember the backlash with Digimon Frontier, and I think it was in large part due to coming right off of Digimon Tamers, which was so incredibly well received (and rightly so). I remember reactions preparing to not like Tamers bc it was the first season to deviate from the original storyline, but lo and behold, it's considered one of the, if not the, best seasons of the franchise. I don't think anyone expected Tamers to be as good as it was and that caught ppl by surprise. But that worked to Frontier's disadvantage, bc ppl either wanted another season of Tamers, like we got with Digimon Adventure, or didn't like how light-hearted and goofy Frontier was when it aired in comparison to Tamers. Ppl who liked Digimon by the time Tamers ended were typically of the older crowd. But Frontier's setting and tone felt like it was supposed to be aimed at a younger demographic than Tamers', which made it lose viewers. And it also didn't help that it took away the whole Digimon partner aspect. But I liked Frontier since the beginning. And I think more ppl gave it another chance (or at least, it's audience grew) once the series really got into Cherubimon's story and the introduction of the Royal Knights and Lucemon. Yugioh GX's real attraction came from its 3rd season, which was good enough to make up for the earlier 2 seasons. If it had continued like it did the 1st or even 2nd season, ppl wouldn't have liked it as much. I still can't get into DBS. I was already feeling fatigue from the series as a whole (GT did not do it for me), and the beginning of Super wasn't it either. I completely lost interest by the time the Future Trunks story was beginning (though, I did suspect it was a push in the right direction to pick the show back up). But I ended up dropping the series and never got back into it to check out the rest (maybe in the future?).

  1309. I see a lot say they'll support BTS if they decide to go and I do as well, but if they're able to exempt/defer and do so, I'll support them in that too. I see valid points on both sides of the argument for them to stay and for them to go if an exemption is offered, so I think it's best to just support whatever decision they decide to go with. I just hope that those who are so ardently saying they'll support them if they decide to go will also just as ardently support them if they decide to stay too.

  1321. BTS never publicized their $1M donation to BLM. The organization receiving the funds did. BTS rarely ever go public with their donations (if you check, almost all of their donations are only revealed by other party sources and never by the group, themselves, unless they were involved in a project directly connected with the group, like the UNICEF Love Myself campaign). It's more likely that BTS did give and the group(s) they donated to just chose not to publish it at this time. And I haven't seen any AAPI group publish donations given to them either (let me know if you've seen smt different tho). But I've seen all the publicizing of donations be done by the donors.

But even if real, then good riddance to bad rubbish. ARMY doesn't need these kinds of people and it's better that they leave. At least since they made posts about it, it can help put real c-armys on notice of which accounts to avoid/block in the future too.

  1378. ​ @minigiant8998  while I agree that not confronting your fears is unlikely to help you get over them, I would also say that approaching them in an environment that produces such an extreme rejection, while providingthe person little personal control over the situation, is more likely to deepen anxiety and cause further trauma rather than help ppl get over the fear. I just think he should've been allowed to do this at his own pace, with being able to say no and ppl listening and respecting that.

  1379.  Ellie Fuller  There has been a study on sheep that shows asexuality does exists even in the animal kingdom. But asexuality also isn't a big focus with scientific study (most focus on pro-sexual studies because of health purposes), so we don't see a lot of research about it being done either.

  1382. True, since they were basically the first to really break onto a full global stage, they got the majority of the first wave of massive backlash that anything "new" and "foreign" AND with staying power have historically recieved from countries, esp western countries, whenever they experience smt for the first time.
    1
  1383. @Tineshaw Racism is not a one-time thing that only happens to foreigners when they come to the US. That's such an ignorant and narrow minded way to think. While it's true that minorities in a country will have different experiences with racism, that doesn't negate the hate ppl get from either coming to a country filled with bigots or from the racism they experience from bigots going to their country. And they also did not come as AANHPI representatives but as Asian representatives who have a global influence. They were not the first Asian guests and were actually some of the last guests to be invited to speak, and that from a list of other global Asian influences who were also not American. There had been speakers, guests, conferences, lectures, and events going on all month to focus on the American aspect of anti-Asian hate, but the White House wanted to make a point that racism was a global issue and not just an American one, which is also a point the AANHPI community wants to bring focus on too. But I guess you weren't paying attention to any of that.
    1
  1384. @Tineshaw "you can live as a mainstream thruout your life as a korean on korea" And that's where YOU are blatently missing the point. BTS are not always just in Korea and face racial discrimination when they are outside it and operate in a global space. I'm sorry you don't get it and I'm sad for you that you don't find racial discrimination to matter when it happens to foreigners coming to another country where they are the racial minority. But I'm not surprise tho. However, it's still smt that does matter to the AANHPI community and that's why they chose to address this issue and invite global Asian influences like BTS.

  1387. Gianpaolo C. Exactly. The administration wouldn't be putting up as much of a fight if they were. But this is a telling perspective on why people are so adamant against gun regulations. By this logic, the people feel they need easy to access weapons just in case because they believe government is full of murderous officials just waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The same news agency that has previously reported falsely abt BTS and had to make a public apology after being caught in 4k breaking and entering AND falsely reporting on BTS. Okay, sure. Let's believe them /s
    1
  1396. @shxx25  no footage has been confirmed by anyone. Even the news releasing it says it's all alleged bc no one has verified it's him or that it's related to this. Heck, even the reports of the BAC are all questionable now that the police gave an official follow up conference and said his BAC was "difficult to determine a specific figure". You guys need to stop spreading misinformation as fact and just wait for an actual police report first.

  1397. ​@shxx25 you need to stop spreading misinformation and treating thing news agencies call "alleged" as fact. No one has even verified any footage.

Even nazis didn't use it uniformly and also used the standing symbol for their flags and uniforms. It's clear misappropriation either way. But yeah, as long as she didn't reasonably know abt it beforehand (or have any other indications of supporting nazism), it shouldn't be held against her.

  1414. I support BTS and their decisions but the exemption law is so outdated and seriously needs to be reformed. Classical/traditional artists get a pass, yet while artists outside those genres have comparable achievements, representation, and potential setbacks, they don't receive the same treatment?? That's just wrong. I don't care if others had to do it. That's no excuse to maintain an unfairness in the laws. With the changing of the times, the law is now unreasonably biased as it stands. They either need to do away with exemptions altogether or update it to make it fairly applicable across the board for everyone. Even if artists today won't be affected by any change in the laws, at least, let change for the better be available for the artists in the future.

  1446. I believe asexuality is still ever evolving in definition because there's not a lot of agreed upon ideas of what constitutes what kind of asexuality, as it's pretty new as a concept. I think AVEN (online forum) is a pretty good ace community to look up more information and talk to people who might be feeling the same way. You're also free to search the forum to find if someone put a topic like this out there. The forum is public to read, but you'd either have to give an email (it'll be made anonymous) or make an account to post anything.

  1454. Why do flat earthers treat the sun like a spotlight? That doesn't make sense at all. The sun is a big ball of flaming gas that shines light in all directions and lights up everything unless something were blocking it. If the earth were flat, everywhere would have sunlight at basically the same time. Do they think something is covering the sun to direct its light, like a lampshade, or what?

  1462. Abt the different reactions abt the two sides dating, I think also partly comes from the kind of audience that tunes into them. Women's fans tend to be the type that will attack the woman for dating (they also tend to have more male fans), while men's fans tend to attack the other side or defend the man instead (and they also tend to have more female fans). Attacking anyone isn't a right reaction either way, but this is part of why the reactions were so different when it's basically abt the same event.

  1470.  @namename-ph7bg  Oh, I agree that military service should be done voluntarily, but I'm talking about under circumstances when there's a draft in place. A person's gender should not be the factor that bars the person from conscription.

  1474. @ceci8556  I agree that this is likely going to be a harsh way for sm1 to learn boundaries and consent no matter the situation. Upside is if it can encourage an understanding within the fandom abt respecting others' given boundaries.

  1487. The whole thing with Japanese prejudice towards Koreans (and vice versa) stem from the same source of how the Philippines can have prejudice towards Japan: WW2, with Japanese imperialism/colonization and the aftereffects from the end of the war. This has had a lasting effect that even influences current-day politics between these (and other) countries. And considering how these political struggles also directly affects the economy and policies of the western world, I'm dismayed with how little this side of the war has been covered in the western school systems.

  1497. Guess you're right. With the way trump and his admin are trying to derail this nation, we're lucky it hasn't gotten to that point yet. Fortunately, this WHCD that showcases freedom of speech let's us know that the 1st Amendment is still going strong. Michelle did great!

  1498. "Eliminate the baby ARMY first." That's high-key brilliant. ☆♡☆

  1499. Omg, she's adorable~ ♡◇♡ The whole shaming part is so weird because she's at probably the best/most healthy weight for her height. Being too skinny is just as problematic as being obese! She's really amazing for being able to keep her poise with this, and she's inspiring for using the position she's gain to push for healthier viewpoints on issues that were personally negative for her and other women. What an exemplary Miss Korea!

  1509. Hypocritical. They claim that they exist to recognize music that have impacted the world, yet ignore it when that music comes from other cultures outside English-speaking ones. The fact that it's closed voting without accountability is already suspect.

  1510.  @rmarie6764  I'm a little confused as to what you're asking. If you're talking about the law itself, SK's law over gambling explicitly states that it's illegal for its citizens to gamble (in certain forms) in foreign countries. If you're asking how can one country make an act illegal even when a foreign country where the citizen is in allows the action, then it's probably a jurisdictional issue, in that the citizen's country will have jurisdiction over its citizens and so its laws over the citizen preempts foreign laws.

  1511. If you thought buying their concert tickets was hard before... And I hope BH does smt like Borahegas again. Can we have a world tour where every city they go to turns purple (let ppl who won't be able to get tickets still be able to enjoy the concert, too)?

  1515. She said she does have a job though (or is making her own money). But I agree that it's her life and no one else should be judging how she decided to live it when she's not hurting/burdening anyone else. I was okay with RM and Jessi trying to give her constructive criticism as people in the profession she's trying to succeed in, but I wasn't a fan of the whole "listen to your mother and get married" arguments.

  1519. Idk man, the decision between being forced to deal with drunk and loud relatives or spending time by myself reading is really no contest for an introvert such as myself. Think Pliny got it right with that one. Not like he couldn't bring a plate in to enjoy the food.

  1522. Chinese state-run Global Times is sketchy af. They post a whole bunch of articles making BTS seem like they were anti-China but didn't explain the context of the speech and only highlighted the stuff that cnetz says and then deleted their articles like they didn't have a part in adding fuel for the internet trolls. 😒

  1529. Well, firstly, them being invited will hopefully spread awareness that this is an event that's been going on all month for AANHPI Month, with various guest speakers from activists to celebs (yes, even American ones), bc clearly, these meetings/discussions aren't getting the coverage they deserve. They're coming for the last day of it all and will also hopefully bring home the message of the AANHPI community that this is a global issue that needs to be addressed.

  1541.  @xPidgexSmithx  I get you; I consider it's like how we use the word, "comeback," and how different it means to ppl unfamiliar with kpop. Ppl who get familiar will eventually understand it, but bc it has deeper and more negative connotations in the western music industry, it might have been better for the translator to use another word, and it was good of the guys and company to clarify the meaning.

  1544. I think it's mostly a pacing issue the anime has (also poor dubbing for earlier viewers and outdated animation for newer viewers). Manga was much easier to get into. I was already a fan bc of the manga, but it took around 150 eps for me to really like the anime by itself.

  1561. Uh, you know, I wasn't worried about people prepping bc of rumors of a second Civil War before, but now... ☹. I mean, I would hope that Americans put America first but I'm not so sure about most trump supporters. They treat trump the same way cult followers do to cult leaders, spreading baseless rumors and not fact-checking or calling him out for any wrongs but defending everything he says/does, so I'm high-key concerned now. I mean, not even kpop fans idolize that blindly.

  1568. It's a terrible thing, but it seems, historically speaking, the only way to be able to be truly neutral in a war is to be physically far away from it (and sometimes, even that's not enough, esp for how global we are). Otherwise, you can only be seen as for or against, and if you're not for anyone, you'll be seen as against everyone.

  1572. ​ @stoverroger  it didn't but ok.
    1
  1573. @stoverroger  but that's the thing, we don't know how long the break was supposed to be because no one with actually authority ever confirmed the length of the break and then all this happened. For all we know, it could've just been a month (which would really be more like a week of downtime and 4 weeks of planning/prepping their next endeavors to be dropped the second they come back, based on how other grps have done their "long breaks"). Or it really could've been all of 18mo and fans would be understandable in being mad and worried. But we'll never actually know bc it's all ended up being a moot point. So now, it's just a silly thing to get hanged up on bc it'll only ever amount speculation of what it could've happened.

  1578. Can you link source? Bc I remember an article saying the same over BTS' network, but the article was only working on speculated and limited numbers that couldn't possibly accurately portray their true net worth, especially when neither BTS nor BH have ever released full/official statements about distributions themselves (from last I've heard), neither about BTS' work with their company nor with their separate projects. I remember dismissing the article because of how obviously incomplete the findings were.

  1590. Let's respect waiting to hear abt their private lives from them (or not hearing anything abt it from them) before believing and spreading rumor and gossip. Their dating life isn't part of their job as an idol and isn't the business of the public.

  1620. If they were actually mistreated, then yes, it'd be great that they speak up. But they've given no indication of any real mistreatment, so they only sound entitled and spoiled and set a poor precedent for idols, who have actually been mistreated, to be able to speak out. And it's telling that they aren't trying to leave despite their claims or ask for better treatment for themselves, but only have mhj be reinstated, while completely disregarding all the mistreatment she dealt to others. I guess their mistreatment doesn't matter, hmmm?

  1628. My biggest issue as a Marvel fan abt Civil War is the execution of it. The idea was interesting to explore but the execution was handled so poorly no matter the medium, whether it be the comics or the MCU (and the MCU continues to baffle me how the execution of the core issue was still badly done, bc the comics at least had the excuse of too many writers and the idea being more/less new and extremely expansive in-universe).

  1633. The fact that Snape was actually a terrible person (imho, with only some sympathetic, but not fully redeemable, traits), so everyone's negative reactions to him ended up somewhat justified too, and nobody saw this as an issue? Man joined a terrorist organization with the m.o. of oppressing minorities and genocide, only switched bc he ended up killing sm1 he had an obsession over (but was high-key willing to let her baby and husband die), and still aged to abuse his position of authority to resent and torment kids. And how did "an angry, evil black guy lusting after rich, white girl who didn't like him" NOT raise an eyebrow with anyone?

  1636. Can someone explain why there's a use of taxi transport but a ban on private transport? I would have thought that you'd want to minimize any type of communal situations to prevent potential spreading. If it's for monitoring purposes, why not use traffick checkpoints/curfew and allow private vehicles instead?

  1639. @WkdkwSssw  are these her lawyers saying it or third party lawyers just basing their opinions off what's currently public? Because, unless there's been an update, there hasn't been enough of anything out there for any outside parties to say if there was a breach of trust or not (though, Hybe can argue the messages were enough to issue an audit). Also, I believe the audit is for misconduct by most executives in Ador, not just MHJ. MHJ just put the focus more solely on her by doing a press conference on her own. So, shouldn't she just give over their laptop to show there's nothing else going on? Because if there were other overt actions, then those messages would be used as supporting evidence, and if not, then she would probably be more successful in saying the messages were just jokes.

  1643. Why be mad about Winnie the Pooh, really? If someone likens you to him, just own it. Turn it into a positive. It should be easy; the bear is that adorable. (Can't guarantee that it'll stop all the justified ridicule, but people should be bound to move on if it's too ineffective).

  1644. Oh? Yes. Yes, I am a fan of the only non-collaberated 2021 Grammy Best Pop Duo/Group Performance award-nominated artists. 💜

  1645. Wildlife preserves are amazing. I really have to give a hand to the people who do their best to operate them and offer educational experiences about the animals they protect.

  1646. I want to know if there are any derogatory slangs/sayings that came abt with ppl's response to this Anderson guy.

  1647. Tbf, Shinto having thousands of dieties probably means everything is connected with smt otherworldly. Not sure why Mary migrated to a bathroom tho.

  1648. Wow, the comments under here show some super butthurt people. Why get mad at her when the orange joke is still in the white house? Is it cutting too close to the truth that he's just that disturbing that people would rather have a comedian as president instead?

  1649. One day, we might actually do so.

  1650. The sarcasm in this comment. I can't even.

  1660. This was an absolute horrific tragedy that no parent should've gone through.

  1663. English might not be a first language for some viewers. If so, it is kind of fast for people not used to the language.

  1664. Ummm, Tae and Jose definitely knew. Jose is such a well-known ARMY. And ARMY doesn't mean you have to know everything about the fandom or the group. It's fine as long as you support and respect BTS.

  1665.  KPop Rocks !  Er, hopefully in a far more peaceful manner ^^; if it can be done just through negotiations, even if it takes 20 more years, that would be amazing~

  1666. You know, I just made an appointment to see my dentist before this video...

  1667. There is a carving of an apparent light bulb with a generator found in the Hathor temple, so really, who's to say Egyptian gods weren't also robots? ;D

  1668. I think the vlive/run questions were to snuff out the more casual/new ARMYs so they could narrow down the possible people who could be the mole. Not being familiar or into all BTS content doesn't mean that you're not an ARMY, but trying to keep in only the hardcore ARMYs can make it easier to spot the mole, which is the purpose of the game.

  1672. The soldier transition from male to female.

  1673.  @JERDN  Yeah, they said she entered as male in 2017 and did the gender change last year. So, trans woman.

  1674. Poor Grace. She's a trooper.

  1676. If I had a nickel for every kdrama-level power-tripping female entertainment CEOs in the kpop industry, I'd have 2. This isn't a lot, but there aren't many female CEOs in the industry, so it's even weirder it happened twice.

  1677. Noticed that. So sweet 🥰

  1679. Seriously? It's not like BTS just decided to go to school. They've been pursuing a higher education this whole time, so why is it NOW getting attention? It's also not like this will stop them from serving at all. Sounds like someone's making a big deal over nothing.

  1680. Ha! Knew the answer beforehand because Bang PD's said it so often. 😁

  1681. How have I not heard of this?

  1682.  @McJethroPovTee  I believe you're thinking of Utterson, who is the attorney.

  1683. JTBC is too much a disgrace to ever be considered reputable. Good job to them, shooting their own reputation in the foot so spectacularly. Yonhap is showing itself to be questionable with their so-called journalistic integrity, as well, to do the same with that 2nd grainy footage. Are they trying to compete with JTBC for who can be the quickest to be considered trash tabloids?

  1684. Who was the sound team for this? Bc this disconnect in timing and Seth's reaction is pure comedy gold.

  1685. Huh. So, this taste like nuoc mam? That's what my mom used to get me to eat my veggies as a kid. She'd mixed the fish sauce with chili sauce and lime (the lazy man's version of nuoc cham) and I'd eat it with basically anything. I remember her making the fish sauce by using one of those water jugs/coolers (the ones with the spout at the bottom). She'd pack it with fish and leave it to ferment for awhile and then drain the liquid through the cooler.

  1686. Idk, from the twts from officials, I bet there are some who play BTS songs in the WH (or at least, they do in the Senate). Proud again to see BTS continue spreading awareness 💜

  1687. No way, no way!!! Omg, congratulations, Ailee!

  1688. Yep, they did it! ☆♡☆

  1689.  @carolbarcia4251  I'm not 100% on Korean defamation law but it's probably because he's still a private figure and is currently still afforded the rights as one until some legal action takes away such rights (like an actual arrest and/or conviction).

  1690. Tbf, I think it could still work in large confined spaces, like malls or maybe amusement parks, but yeah, I also thought ppl would most likely try to knock it over if it was anywhere else in the west. Wasn't there a social experiment done abt a robot trying to go across the country in the US on its own but it got destroyed shortly after it started?

  1691. Definitely not to some of these delicate buttercups ;p Though the timing on the delivery for some of the jokes could've been better.

  1692. That we watched an hour of animated butter melting 🧈 🤣💜 Definitely, let's make Butter a record smasher!

  1693. So how does the 1st place deal with preventing rain on the art?

  1694. I'm so happy with how much good news is coming our way with BTS~😭💜
    1
  1695. I thought the whole idea of a cult was a big taboo thing in SK, so shouldn't we take more care to not associate ppl to one without actual proof!? Facilitating rumors like these are what causes witch hunts to happen.
    1
  1696. You used clips from Gargoyles and Spectacular Spider-Man. And as a fan of all shows Greg Weisman, this makes me happy.
    1
  1697. Seeing how they kept bumping into each other, bet they were told to just go up there and have fun. (^□^) I'm so glad we got to see this~ ☆♡☆
    1
  1698. No one of authority has even verified if any footage shown were him at all, and all of it has been presented as "alleged" by the same news agencies spreading it bc of it all being unverified. You need to stop spreading misinformation prematurely like this.

  1699. The MV and music fit so well~ we were basically watching a short film with this MV and it makes me really interested in seeing where he's taking this album.

  1700.  @marrymejisoo3413  I'm going to need to see your sources for that, please, because I've been trying to find out about BTS's views' sources and haven't got anything but, at best, opinions of them. I've seen comments say that they also buy ads or they don't buy ads at all or they don't buy ads for the first couple of days or it's fans who buy ads for views, but I haven't seen anything from a real news source confirming anything about BTS's MV ads. Not saying you're wrong, just that I haven't been able to find anything about it besides second-hand accounts and I'd be thankful to actually get my hands on something with real authority.

  1701. Ha! Knew that fact abt Big Ben. Learned abt it in the comment section of TheOdd1sOut's YT short he released yesterday. 😅

  1702. Here are some examples of why kpop trainees and idol should be respected for even pursuing the idol career. Even if one doesn't like or have interest in the industry, no one should be able to look down on these kids for all of the blood, sweat, and tears they pour into chasing after their dreams, without even a guarantee for success. How many of us can say we put in the same amount of effort for our dreams? Regardless of anyone's opinion on kpop and its industry, these kids are just incredible. ☆♡☆
