Seungri, VIPs, and Burning Sun Scandal
Now before I start my long ass rant I am going to say this once and only once. Yes, in my first few years of Kpop I was a HUGE Big Bang stan...yes believe it or not my black ass really gave a damn about them at one point or another, but I stopped stanning Big Bang for awhile now, so before some of you go on this long ass tangent about how I am a "hater" or "..But you stan Big Bang" or even " You're just saying this cause you stan *insert fandom names here* and you are bitter" bullshit just know that this is bigger than fandom and kpop bs. This is about Human Rights being continuously violated more or less WOMEN'S RIGHTS (and the continous mistreatment of women in korea).
I have spoken up about issues before in the kpop industry and I will continue to do so because nothing can ever change for the better if you do not speak up. And for those fans who wanna come under the comments talking about how I'm spewing bs how about yall stop blindly defending people without checking your fucking sources because sorry to burst your fragile egos and supiriority complexes, but just because your fave is considered a 'king' doesn't mean that they don't do fucked up mess w/o y'all knowing. Why? BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW YOU!! NOR DO YOU KNOW THEM PERSONALLY! You can link all the "evidence" you want of someone being a good person on TV and doing good deeds all you want but guess what! That is ALL irrelevant to the subject matter at hand because as stated before this issue is bigger than someone being " Out to get yall" or "Someone being a target" just because a group of people don't like them. So, if that is all cleared up lets move on.
TW: R*pe, Assault, Prostitution/Pimping, Harassment, Drugs & Alcohol, Abuse, Berating of Women, Blackmail & Extorsion, and Bribery, etc.
People CURRENTLY involved in the ongoing investigation of Burning Sun and Gangnam Club sex trafficking rings as well as Drug Rings and Sting level ops:
Clubs- Burning Sun and Multiple Gangnam nightclubs
Companies- Burning Sun, YGE, Dispatch, and KPD (Korean Police Departments more specifically Gangnam and Seoul)
Reporters- Naver, KBS, SBS, Dispatch (unfortunately), Netzienbuzz, Pann, Allkpop, Soompi, ONESEN, and local Korean news stations
People CURRENTLY involved/ under investigation- Seungri, Park Han Byul & her husband, Employees of Burning Sun (both former and current), Gangnam Police, VIP/High profile guests who have yet to be named, Mr. Kim (both a victim AND enabler), and a woman whos named hasn't been revealed to my knowledge as well as other female victims, and YGE.
WHOs REPORTING is Reliable? SBS, Korean news, and Naver
-SBS' Investigative Journalist or more specifically the one working on the current Prostitution and Drug scandal of Burning Sun is none other than Kang Kyunghoon who has an EXTREMELY good track record with reporting the FACTS first and gives opinions towards the end. She has exposed numerous and CREDIBLE cases such as the recent Goo Hara case, Yang Yongsuk aka the politician with the affair, and Jo Jaehyun for sexual harassment as well as SEVERAL #MeToo stories and court cases. Everything that comes out of SBS is 100% FACT CHECKED as well as Credible.
-Naver& Korean local News get their information STRAIGHT from companies as well as the Korean Police Department and government officials. They do nothing more than report what they have been told.
Whos TRANSLATIONS are Reliable? SOOMPI and Netzienbuzz (sadly)
-NetzienBuzz gets their comments right off of websites such as NAVER AND Nate therefore everything you read from comments are from the Korean General Public themselves as well as fans. They may not translate the FULL ARTICLE for their website, but their website is strictly for COMMENTARY on the issue from and by the KOREAN public and entertainment journalist.
-Soompi is the most ACCURATE when it comes to article translations and direct quotations on SUBJECT MATTER however, some articles may be LATE due to finding and getting proper and complete translations from Korean media and Reporters, so it can be as accurate as possible.
Which Translations have been INACCURATE?
Any post from a fan or so called media that have called the current TRANSCRIPTS of Seungri's KKT/ messages a screenshot is not correct. It is infact EXTREMELY WRONG. The current messages from Seungri's KKT/phone are indeed TRANSCRIPTS that SBS got from the PHONE PROVIDER THEMSELVES. These messages came straight from the source. Anyone who says the messages themselves are photoshopped are completely wrong. The messaages that have been provided from both SBS and Dispatch are simply transcripts provided by phone companies that are giving during invesitgations with full times and dates to help out. The messages that you see in the articles are simply modified so that it is easier for the readers to see since transcripts are on separate sheets of paper in black and white. Another false piece of info is that the messages are photoshopped. The nessages are not photoshopped. The investigative journalist from SBS as well as Dispatch have removed words from conversations to make it more appropriate for the news and articles because that is how disgusting and degrading they were. Korea's censorship laws are different from the U.S. and other western countried, so they HAVE to edit them to make it more public friendly. These messages would have never gone out if they did not change them or check their souces which they both did, so stop defending Seungri and his employee's triflin' ass messages to the 'client' by saying they were from 2015 or photoshopped. If you are going to lie and defend get your so called twitter threads correct and on the same page cause y'all look stupid. JFC I hated saying the word 'client'. I'm disgusted just typing this.
-Allkpop is not the best source in the world but it is useful when needing to summarize events, but PLEASE do NOT just go by what Allkpop says because lets face it almost everyone looks stupid by going off of what Allkpop says. Allkpop is nothing kore than an exteremely biased rumor mill with bits and pieces left out of articles.
People who are NOT involved but are due to heavy association with Seungri and Burning Sun as well as shady past- Hyoyeon (only involved because she is a DJ and she was doing a show right before the assault inccident which was 12am), Park Hun Byul (she is only invloved because her first boyfirend used to 'buy' people who prostitute. She is also involved because her CURRENT husband is someone who is under investigation for being a Pimp for Burning Sun and being close with Seungri, so as far as Park Hun Byul herself goes she is INNOCENT), Other BigBang members (yes his members are problematic, but they are not involved currently and have no association with Burning Sun.), The original victim of Burning Sun that brought the issue to light after being dragged out of the club unconciously. She has decided to drop the charges. No one knows why, but it is due to suspected bribery which is what Burning Sun is also under investigation for (Bribery, Blackmail, and Extorsion.) There are only rumors of the victim being bribed into silence and blackmailed, but the is no current official confirmation for the victim HERSELF, but there are also reported videos of other female victims and high profile clients that CANNOT be revealed right now nor will they be released to to the public anytime soon.
WHY Seungri is involved- I shouldn't have to explain this, but because people insist on being stupid and refuse to use their reading comprehension skills let me explain this quickly. Seungri is invloved because Seungri HIMSELF has claimed to be someone who is "heavily invloved" in his businesses and that he basically RUNS/OWNs the place. Yes, Seungri may not be CEO or anything like that, but he has been a main INVESTOR in the club for awhile now as well as his name being on the official website. He runs his businesses behind the scenes due to his schedule. And before some of you all say "If he is busy how can he be there abd at his schedules?" There is this thing called a PHONE and a *gasp* COMPUTER. He can easily video chat and text his employees hence the recent text messages that have been revealed. If high profile clients go to this club they can easily contact Seungri through the club manager. It is basic business. Where tf do you all think he gets all this money from besides his concerts. It has also been rported that his own MOTHER allegedly has been helping him with the club's finances at some point. Seungri is also involved because if the selfie he took with the club's Drug Dealer who provides more than just marijuana, but drugs such as E and other date rape drugs. Even though he claiked to not know her we do not know if that is true or not because there has been flimsy evidence support except the insiders' words. Needless to say Seungri is in a shitload of mess...and by mess I mean Federal Crime that can give him life in prison mess, so this isn't a joke. It is not about people being out to get BigBang. It is about women and their rights as well as their bodies being violated and taken advantage of and it is the most sick fucked up thing I havd heard since R.Kelly. That is how bad this is.
Why YGE is continously Denying everything? YGE denies everything that paonts a dark image on his company. In fact most compa ies do this, but YGE has a bad habit of being full of bs. YG himself is shady, so I personally take everything with a grain of salt, but his recent statements about Seungri and his text messages of being "fake news" is nothing more than a cop out since he is clearly in the dark about Seungri, Burning Sun, and their activities so he has no choice bit to deny it regardless of what the truth is. Not to mention he runs an entertainment company, so it would bad if he were to say what is true because this entire situation is disgusting jo katter which way you spin it since Burning Sun is tied to a CITY-WIDE PROSTITUTION RING AS WELL AS DRUG AND STING OPS. Hell, YG himself has been under investigation for his artist marijuana use alone. Not to emntion he cannot say much due to it being an ongoing and current investigation.
Overall, ttying to defend Seungri blindly and claiming he is innocent by trending hashtags is not only damaging the fanbase and Seungri even more it is damaging and hurtful to the victims involved in this case as well and other fans and bystanders who have been affected by abuse, harassment, rape, drugs and alcohol by not listening and being quick to claim being inncocent. Not to mention there are a lot of successful entertainers still on tv not becaise they were innocent, but because people did not care. That is how you all as a fandom have been coming accross. However, for those fandoms trying to use this a leverage to promote your faves and fuel your fan wars is not only dissmissive, but extremely disrespectful to everyone involved. I am not picking sides, but providing facts and what has been confirmed. It is better to listen to both sides without bias regardless if you like Big Bang or not because this issue affects how Korea views women and their rights and right now korean women have very few and that is what this scandal is about. It is about women's ri ghts, Human Rights, and extreme law breaking to the highest degree. It doesn't matter what is legal in your country and what is not becausr this isn't about YOU nor is it about people being out to get Seungri or Big Bang becaise it is not. I am not saying Seungri is guilty, but he isn't compeltely blind to all of this either. Whether he was active or is just a bystander is disgusting either way. Because if you are going to run a business your FIRST job is to make sure people are hapoy and safe and you take what ever measures need to be taken to PREVENT monstrosities such as this from happening. Either he was active in this prostitution ring or he was a neglectful business owner who doesn't care for its employees or costumers and more importantly women, so it isn't good either way. Again, there was no bias in this post. I don't have a hatred for Seungri or BigBang no matter how problematic they have been, but facts are facts and like a wise man once said "THHE TRUTH WILL SET YOUR FREE, BUT FIRST....IT WILL PISS YOU OFF" So therefore I urge everyone to see things from a non biased pov and learn to think before you react to thing and say things that will have you looking stupid.
P.S. THIS BLOG IS A SAFE SPACE THAT IS OPEN FOR DISCUSSION BUT HARASSMENT OF OTHER USERS INCLUDING MYSELF WILL NOT BE TOLERATED BECAUSE YOU WILL BE BLOCKED AND REPORTED WHEN MYSELF OR OTHER ADMINS SEE THIS. If you have any questions for me my main blog is @zozoppl and on my blog we treat people with respect, but fair warning if u disrespect me I will disrespect you right back. Golden Rule: Treat people the way you want to be treated

YG Treasure Box  - Episode 1 rant
If you bothered to backread my blog and just by looking at my URL, you would know that I have a Love-Hate relationship with YG Entertainment and by extension, the ghoul on the 7th floor that is Yang Hyun Suk.
 That means that I have no problems pointing out the shitshow that’s YG post-2ne1 and while we’re in the middle of Big Bang’s enlistment period. However, I do have a problem with Kpop fans who DO NOT have a clue about the history of YG Music, Artists, or Company, who just like to shit on YG Entertainment for the sake of bigging up their favs. If you’re looking for a blog like that, this ain’t it sis. 
That being said, here’s a detailed account of YG TREASURE BOX Episode 1 in my eyes.
EPISODE 1: Introduction to the MNET Evil Editor that YG Hired
First of all, a petition for YG to stop using GD songs for his survival. I know they slap but using them for shows is like a punch in the gut. 
Exhibit A aka The only exhibit you need:
youtube
The episode started with a nice tour of what will soon be YG’s old HQ or The House that Big Bang built with the trainees’ hopes and dreams as the voiceover in the background but mostly Choi Hyunsuk because he’s talkative AF and he’s a true YG stan. 
There’s a clip of YG employees entering YG building and my initial thought is Who among these bitches come to work to tell Hayi, CL, Dara or Suhyun that “Nope.. we don’t have plans for you at this moment.”
Then we move on to the casting meeting.. and let me tell you this. That snake Yang HyunSuk (gonna call him hereafter as YHS) already has his own picks, but he had to throw in a platoon of trainees to keep the show interesting because why? He feeds off our tears and fear, that’s why.
All meetings that were featured on this show could have been an email tbh (and we wonder why our favs take a whole year to debut.. YG’s too busy doing meetings) same as the one that Jennie was in.
Bang Yedam drew first blood as the first guy they introduced. He should have been a fixed member from the start, and should not have been part of the voting. His skill level is in the extremes compared to the new guys that were scouted to be eliminated AKA Team B. More on that later... but anyway, the coaches at YG did a really good job with Yedam in making sure that what he lost in range due to puberty, he gained ten folds in technique and style.
Here’s a math problem for ya: The show humble-bragged about how much they spent per trainee on Team A. It’s USD 100,000 per year. How much did they spend on Byounggon & Seunghun? 
Next trainee to get his intro is Kim Junkyu. Like most YG elitist, I didn’t bother to watch Mixnine in full so I had no idea that he was made a sacrificial lamb on Mixnine. The sequence of him being so helpless, just going through the motion of training even if he clearly is at wit's end, is heartbreaking and very stressful. Then his therapy session was shown and it broke my heart. It honestly made me wonder if they had a therapist in Kim Jinwoo’s trainee days... because I see in Junkyu what I saw in Jinwoo during WIN, and look at Jinu now. Speaking of Jinwoo, YG said he’s looking at visuals on this show but sir... sir... when you have visual powerhouses such as T.O.P, Kim Jinwoo, Eun Jiwon (tbh.. you can all fight me..), the twins Yunhyeong and Chanu, the Kwon twins and more... you need to get your eyes checked. 
Team B was introduced next and damn, they were so raw Gordon Ramsey had a heart attack. 
youtube
Team B is the sacrificial lamb of this show/ They have visuals, rap and some vocals here and there but they were RAAAAW.. except for Jihoon, he’s like the war veteran that was recruited to train the privates.. that didn’t sound right. 
I didn’t realize that it was Jihoon who was on the YG vs. JYP episode of Stray Kids. He was a cutie then.. he’s still a cutie now.
Ooooh, YG has a Taiwanese trainee and I was happy for this guy because he was just so happy to be there. 
They showed how street casting is done.. if anyone approaches me with like that, I will scream. They also showed two trainees being let go to give way to Ha Yoonbin and Park Jihoon. I do not believe that it was a coincidence that they just added that two.. they had to make room. Showbiz, am I right? The old Team B’s looked scared when Yoonbin and Jihoon came but in all honesty, they are the two of the five who have greatly benefited from this show: 
Park Jihoon - The comeback kid
Ha Yoonbin - The new kid on the block
Haruto - The VIP heir.. from Watanameh to Watanabae
Choi Hyun Suk - The one who got shitted on the most after Sunghun. 
Kim Junkyu - Extreme makeover YG edition (in hair and in confidence)
Runner-up: Jeongwoo - He would have gotten in anyway because he sang really well and YG clearly likes him as he’s the reincarnation of the Still Alive Daesung (see what I did there) Again.. more on my lists later
Let’s move on to Treasure C aka YG’s next Team A aka YG version of NCT Dream tbh. They are damn talented and should not have been added as a whole team. YG should have just added the standouts. Kim Jong Seob of Kpop Star should have sat this one out as his voice is still in its cracking phase and let him stew and in his cocoon til he becomes a beautiful butterfly.
Team C is just so pure but when they perform, lawd.. I am just in awe. They are so talented.
The episode ended with YG shitting on all of his Korean trainees to introduce Team J on the next episode. Betch.
 All in all, this episode should have been 10 minutes shorter if they cut out all the meetings, castings and honestly, trimmed down the list of trainees
If you have questions for me, send them through, if you have comments, violent reactions and opinions.. send them as well if you must.
