I decided to get out of my cave, as the beautiful pink serenity of the golden hour tease its glory in my window. I walk out the house with phones in hand, planning to take pictures or videos of it. It was beautiful, I felt like I have seen all of the beauty there is in the world. Pink mixing and dancing with the bright raging yellow and orange. Euphoria was imbuing the halls of my body- until I saw a teenage girl, and her friend raising their phones up, taking a picture of the beautiful sunset itself. I was astounded, pulled back from reality. There are people and cars around passing. And another girl joined, also took a picture of the sunset. Im fucking insane, Im so fucking sick for feeling some sense of disdain in this scenario, in that time. What the fuc is wrong with me? Seriously why am i like this? I was having a crisis inside- It's not only me who is seeing this beauty, Im not special, If I find this beautiful then I am just as basic as these other girls-I did actually thought that-like those words passed my mind, my mind actually spoke them. Whats wrong with me.... They're cringe teenage girls but they're free and happy with their friends, and they took a picture of the sunset that they thought was beautiful-posting it on their stories and im here being miserable asf making edits in tiktok and I end up not even taking a picture of the beautiful sunset. I need.... Plsss someone..

I've listened to over 300 new releases from over 100 different kpop artists this year so picking my top songs felt like an mnet-level survival show 😭 the irony that i never watched Boys Planet AND one of the songs is literally a Peak Time song is not lost on me ! 🙃 but i wanted to pick a trendy format so here we are 😈 anyways i included albums instead of songs that didn't make the cut since there's too many honorable mention songs that i have had on repeat this year 😭 but most of them are in these 22 albums (oo-li is on here twice and istj isn't out yet !)

A list of abuse that FIFTY FIFTY, the Kpop girl group behind "Cupid", was subjected too by their company ATTRAKT and CEO Jeon Hongjun:
FIFTY FIFTY were under constant surveilance by CCTV
FIFTY FIFTY had daily BMI checks
FIFTY FIFTY were not given proper meals
When the parents of the members brought them food, the food was thrown out and the members were insulted
One of the members ran away from the company due to stress, had multiple panic attacks, fainted, and woke up with a ventilator
FIFTY FIFTY members had panic attacks often
Whilst making around $4.5 million in US markets, the company forced FIFTY FIFTY to pay THEM $2.2 million.
CEO Jeon Hongjun lied about selling his car and house to support the group
CEO Jeon Hongjun lied about getting FIFTY FIFTY a dorm in an expensive part of Seoul
FIFTY FIFTY have filed criminal charges against CEO Jeon Hongjun for fraud
The staff of ATTRAKT have said that the 8 billion won invested in the group was not used for the group. Their debut album cost 1 billion won, and Cupid 1.25 billion won. The other 5.5 billion won has not been seen.
ATTRAKT has disclosed Aran's surgery without consent
EDIT: ADDED INFO BELOW
For 12 out of 33 months, the company gave FIFTY FIFTY zero money to pay for food. For the months that ATTRAKT did provide FIFTY FIFTY with meals, they spent $41 a month.
It was often the managers that brought FIFTY FIFTY food and not ATTRAKT, so ATTRAKT bared no expense.
It took NUTRITIONISTS AND HEALTH EXPERTS to complain before ATTRAKT allowed FIFTY FIFTY to eat at a nearby salad shop, but were only allowed to spend around $8.21 a day.
The CCTV surrounded almost all corners of their dorms and were personally viewable in CEO Jeon Hongjuns office.
The diet prepared by the agency only consisted of chicken and butter coffee.
Translated quote from a health trainer in 2021: "Lack of protein and vegetables. Please provide breakfast. Insufficient supply of nutrients, essential nutrients must be consumed. Konjac jelly should be used as a snack, not as a meal replacement."
It was not until July of 2022 that a nutritionist was consulted ONCE.
ATTRAKT claims they spent around 750 dollars a month on meals, but this includes the meals of multiple trainees, photographers and a fifth member that was supposed to debut in the group.
Translated quote from FIFTY FIFTY's legal representative: "The agency only provided each member with a menu, but most of the members took care of purchasing ingredients, cooking and eating, and reported to the company using photos."
There is revenue from FIFTY FIFTY's first album, but it was put directly into another company instead of ATTRAKT so they can avoid taxes.
ATTRAKT is releasing a remix of Cupid featuring Sabrina Carpenter mid lawsuit: it can be assumed this was done for the same reason Blockberry Creative announced a LOONA album after kicking out Chuu.
- Please do not send hate to Sabrina Carpenter and direct any negativity to the company
