every so often i remember how people tried to cancel rm for listening to a song from the album ranked 345 overall on rateyourmusic

#like??? one of the most acclaimed artists of the decade???? #words of mine #like not to even get into interpreting the lyrics in the least charitable light possible #cause that’s not really the point here #like when somethings that popular if somethings wrong with it its not any individual persons problem its everyones #thsts what got me about the weird 48 hours of anime hysteria too

#granted the last actually promoted lp was in like 2018 but STILL #words of mine #but like the scores getting praised for a good reason it just fuckin bangs #understanding the assignment since 1989 baby! #we are so back…my emotional support old 90s rockstar has emerged from the crypt… #(the crypt being the various side projects him and his platonic life partner do to keep from feeling washed up)

Nch making haru delete the video cause they haven’t actually terminated natures contracts and are just dungeoning them until expiration…WHEN I GET YOUUUUU

Haru working at a hostess club being marketed as a former kpop idol indirectly confirming natures disbandment…sohee randomly getting married to a middle-aged dude and retiring from the industry…we’re in the bad nugu timeline here

#you are too nugu as a company to pull this shit! like obviously the groups not coming back! let them go! #words of mine #like she’s not getting paid let her advertise her new job! fuck you!

#…sohee has to be pregnant right #or the dude has a lot of money and she went fuck it we ball #but ummm… #words of mine #man I don’t judge harus new job the way some might #(kpop stans tend to get pretty misogynistic about this stuff while being like ‘omg we’re protecting her from old men’) #but she was my favorite dancer in maybe all of kpop and what did she get for it? not much! #yeah I read some comments and they’re trying to make points about exploitation but just being misogynistic like come on yall

As a music writer on Twitter I like said, every western publication who put “super shy” on their year-end best list as their only engagement with kpop ever should be forced to cover the mhj story from beginning to end

PLEASE let the shaman thing be true

Okay if the futures and careers of a number of 16-20 year old young women weren’t at stake this ador/hybe stuff is some of the funniest shit I’ve seen in kpop in a long time

#like if hybe made this shit up they slander her someone needs to go into tv writing cause PRAYING FOR BTS TO ENLIST!!!!! #THIS IS GOLD KPOP DOENSNT GET BETTER THAN THIS GUYS #words of mine

I feel so bad for the kep1er girls having to figure out what to do after the group disbands like only two of them have any set plans 💀

#like idk how revamped limelight will sell but the music will be good and 143 will at least try #the rest…idk does jelpi have any female trainees? youngeuns company already failed with a bg so that bodes well i guess #yujins fucked into acting she goes #the rest…idek 😭 #words of mine

Damnit I thought dispatch had gotten this from an official hybe source but seems its still just speculation based on a timeline

Which like the events are all in order but when le sserafim was going to debut or if mhj actually took all of the money with her to ador instead of just staff and trainees is still speculation

However I don’t by the thing I saw from people saying the reasoning for le sserafim’s debut is bullshit because hybe had Sakura and chaewon under contract cause when Sakura was signed she was just reported as signing with hybe (I can’t remember what was reported when they got chaewon). also, like I said in the tags, at some point a source music gg with min heejin became two separate ggs and if as was suggested by some rando on the internet, hybe was pushing out le sserafim to cover for bts enlistment and not training costs then there’s really no reason why that group would’ve debuted under source to begin with. Like I believe that some version of le sserafim with sakura and chaewon and likely a similar concept was planned at some point (who knows under what company) but I don’t necessarily believe that their debut timing has nothing to do with how hybe let mhj bail from that project cause otherwise a bunch of marketing from around that period doesn’t make sense. Either way hybe still looks dumb though lbr (it’s not worth going too much into gfriends disbandment cause like any scenario ends with the same result tbh)

Idk why I’m so fascinated by this stuff cause I’m not rooting for anyone to win other than the idols and for hybe company stans to lose eventually but like I always am fascinated by how much corporate shit is held together by strings, glue and egos. It’s like a puzzle trying to root through what’s public to figure out who fucked up when lmao

Of all of the kpop mysteries to be explained in 2024 gfriends disbandment wasn’t one of them

#I really hope the girls parents aren’t dumb enough to side with her cause it’s a losing battle no matter what points she has #like one side has money power the media and company stans and the other has…top secret evil documents on her work computers 💀

Of all of the kpop mysteries to be explained in 2024 gfriends disbandment wasn’t one of them

#at least it takes the heat off of the le sserafim girls for a while… #but also you can’t put all of the blame on it for mhj cause hybe didn’t have to give in to her every whim and give her own subsidiary #and take on all of her costs like they clearly trusted her enough to bank on her gg getting money #which it did but like…now that things have gone to shut everyone looks like a moron 😭 #like hybe execs were probably ambivalent to gfriend and deemed taking on the struggles of placating mhj worth it #but look where we are now 💀 #words of mine #ties up a lot of loose ends in then hybe business timeline too like they were marketing that mhj x source gg for a while at least to people #in the industry and then all of a sudden there were two ggs lmao

The fact that min heejin actually had some kind of stan twitter team to monitor all of the “OMG THEYRE COPYING NEWJEANS” garbage about every new group and was taking it completely seriously is killing me

Okay if the futures and careers of a number of 16-20 year old young women weren’t at stake this ador/hybe stuff is some of the funniest shit I’ve seen in kpop in a long time

#like allegedly they had a ‘team to monitor public opinion’ which…they were reading stan twitter #plagiarism discourse from fifteen year olds and being like YEAH!!!! #I don’t use this word lightly but truly unserious

I’m going through this list of art pop-esque albums on rym and every so often one shows up that was HUGE on this damn website in 2014 and it gives me so much psychic damage

Like first it was chvrches debut (which holds up surprisingly well) but then i got to the first DAUGHTER album and holy shit that one is nooottt good alsjdhdhd I have not thought of that band in ten years but I’ll be damned if I didn’t know all of the lines in that wild youth song that were all over the place here

#setting firreee to our insides for fun… #GOD THE PSYCHIC DAMAGE

With that being said stanning cherry bullet over the past few years was basically watching a bunch of young women learn that they can’t get enough people to like them despite being pretty and talented and that was getting kind of depressing. I wish them the best…

#like someone pointed out jiwons desperation of queendom puzzle and…yeah #words of mine #sometimes you get an it girls that reaches a popularity ceiling cause theyre under a small company #and sometimes you get an it girl where everyone just looks at them and shrugs #some of the weeekly girls got a similar awakening when put against jihan imo…

happy international kpop girl groups getting fucked over by their companies day we got bb girls not getting shit from warner so having to change companies and lose a member we got chebul disbandment after years of inconsistent promo and we got one of if not the most popular active ggs getting their career blown up by their own ceo and producer truly mess at all levels of gg standom

#we got mess for the nugu the midtiers and the big 4 stans what a life #and who really loses? a bunch of young women! yay! #words of mine
