In a now deleted tweet, French far-right politician Damien Rieu accused the far-left of murdering Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe and used photos of game developer Hideo Kojima instead of pictures of the current suspect Tetsuya Yamagami
Tout le monde parle d'Adèle Haenel et de Florence Foresti (à raison bien évidemment !) mais s'il vous plaît n'oubliez pas de mentionner Aïssa Maïga qui a eu la bravoure d'interpeller l'industrie du cinéma français sur son racisme et qui a également quitté la salle

Non-French people discovering the Orangina ads will always be funny because yeah, we just allowed furries to broadcast their fantasies on TV for years 😭

After Jung Joon Young from Drug Restaurant got exposed through the whole Seungri scandal, French fans started to speak out against his nasty behavior with them.
I will be translating some testimonies in the hope of warning young & naive K-music fans

@askolovitchC
(a french journalist) talked about Jonghyun on TV and what he said was the most touching thing I've heard on the topic.
He really worked hard on it because I could feel his sincerity I decided to share what he said with you
Politicians in France have been trying to vilify the Left for weeks now because the NUPES coalition which won 131 seats the national assembly represents a threat to the Right and the Far-Right.

Also she is Christian, she can get Christian symbolicisms tattooed, it's between her & God anyway
(I didn't know about the scar, thanks for sharing this story)
Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-Hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo will all be returning for Squid Game Season 2! And
#TUDUM
just revealed four new actors who will be joining the cast!
@Snownop27
@Y00NSLUVR
2 Korean MC who made racists, islamophobic, and sexist comments among many other things such as bullying idols or hitting them harder than they should during their "games"
So Damien might have seen Shinzo Abe's murder as a way to push forward the idea that the Left is the same as the Far-Left & that it is way more dangerous than the Far-Right, which would also explain why he didn't bother to fact check.

There was EXID with Ah Yeah and Pink Hot where every little thing they did was sexualised by the men watching but they were the last gg to do this I think :(
@kzabrekker
I remember someone saying on Tumble that it's because there are days where we don't have energy to invest into brand new characters and testing our luck with a new story we aren't even sure we will like.
I guess sometimes we just want the comfort of something familiar 😊
French Shawols along side other kpop fans held a commemoration for Jonghyun in Paris today, the place was full of people 💙💚
They sang songs & had psychologists there for those who needed it 👍🏽

LIONESSES are unable to promote on music shows & on variety programs, and their songs can't be played on radio because they're openly queer but there are people who think it's possible for idols to safely come out???
Btw stream their comeback

Ça fait des années que les noirs et les arabes se plaignent de se faire suivre en permanence dans les magasins & de se faire fouiller par les vigiles alors que les pratiques sonnent pas. Et des années que des voleurs blancs expliquent que leur astuce c'est de sortir en même temps
Just a little break to quickly talk about the book Jonghyun wrote:
“Skeleton Flower: Things That Have Been Released and Set Free”
More information & some english translations 👇🏽
The song of the same name
[ENG SUB] 28 Minutes Arte [Part 1]
He made a parallel between Jonghyun & Mike Brant to facilitate his introduction to the french public
(Explanation & analysis of some sentences can be found under this tweet)
"A man who is young, a man who is beautiful, a man who sings magnificently but that nothing, especially not glory, could convince him to stay alive"
YES! please tell them!
Being a celebrity / rich / successful is NOT a vaccine against depression & doesn't mean you're happy
" He knew how to write, even if he didn't knew how to live "
If you don't speak french you can't understand how sad but yet poetic this sentence is so I tried to explain it here:
@TheGayCapybara
@alisalem147
Right like acting is so much more than screaming! It's also the tears, the smiles, the things unsaid, the loud laughs & the quiet whispers!
I don't have a compilation with multiple actors but I love this video of all the emotions portrayed by Shin Hakyun
@proyearner
I really hate this new trend in TV series where writers totally change their plot once they realise some of the fans have figured out where the show is heading
Finally a journalist acknowledged the fact that it wasn't just the industry that killed him: the society as a whole participated to his fall.
Pretending that it is not case would be a crime because even after his death society is still breaking down people for being who they are.

1) Please do not answer to my tweets as you may break my thread
2) Don't you dare disrespect those girls or I'm exposing + blocking your ass
3) You can translate my thread as long as you got the autorisation from the girls & that you credit me
@XiranJayZhao
I really wish we got a protagonist who never unlocked their power and just slayed through other means (using their brain for exemple) I don't know I feel like that'd be a nice change, I really liked that in Encanto Mirabel never developped powers
"It's a tragedy which happened in SK but in reality it's a universal story"
This sentence is really important because it reminded people that depression is a global issue, but not only !
He also lowkey trowed shade other french journalists for how poorly they treated the topic
"[he] did not fit into society's criteria, and you know how it is:
If you're delicate, if you're different, things can escalate quickly and one day it's not bearable anymore..."
This part really hit me right in the feels
Beyond Evil is only boring to people who fail to understand that the murder mystery was just a mere pretext, the heart of the drama lies in exploring how disappearances impact those left behind and how we, as humans, react to such tragedies.
"I was at his concert in September 2017, the show was over. I came across one of the staff member to whom I smiled to thank him for the organisation and he directly come to ask me in my ear if I was of age."

"I see that people are starting to talk again about the after parties of JJY during his concert in Paris with his group. I attended one in 2017 and then another party in with them in 2018"
They keep on calling kpop idols pawn, puppet, doll,... when they are people with feelings too...
And that's what Claude Askolovitch criticized here.
Even dead those "journalists" still label him as an empty pretty shell when he was a delicate & talented artist.
"He knew how to write...That young man that people labelled as an ultra-vitaminated pawn, he knew how to write"
This sentence broke my heart into pieces because it showed something terrible about journalists from my country...
"Honestly I was very naive and a fan of the group so I didn't understood right away what was happening. I told him yes (I was 18) and invited me to spend the evening with the members of the group. He asked me to wait a bit in the concert hall after the end."

No your mother in law "doesn't desperately need" your sperm to have a child 💀
If she wants a child that bad she can adopt one or get another sperm donor instead of creeping out her poor son in law
"His death shocked millions and millions of people around the world, people who (like the youth) enjoy that kind of music"
Apart for the fact that he didn't paint Jonghyun's influence as something that only concerned South Korea & 2 people in the North Pole, I also really
"He approached girls while stuttering words in french*. I memorized everything because I thought it was suspicious. He said [stuffs like] My name is JJY, you're beautiful, I fuck [you]*. He also told me my name was too long and that he would call me Bella. (lmao)."
"For example here, we also had"
Let's talk about how he did compared Jonghyun to anyone, how he did not call him the "asian version of [insert the name of some random white celebrity].
He made a parallel between him and a HUGELY RESPECTED celebrity for VALID reasons 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
"I waited and I ended up with some girls I didn't know, who had been grabbed like me. We immediately became close, the situation was comical but hey we were curious to see [what would happen]"

This story is another exemple of why you should always try living with someone before getting married to them, you'll get to discover a new side of them you might not want to live with for the rest of your life.
I just discovered that
— Strangers From hell/Hell Is Other People
— Team Bulldog: Off-duty Investigation
— Search
— Save Me
and now Dark Hole, all take place in the same world: The OCN Cinematic Universe 😱
appreciated the fact that he did not present Jonghyun's music as something that was only loved by bratty teenagers.
He said "like the youth" not just "the youth".
His talent & music are acknowledged by people from all ages
"The staff's member added us on Instagram and told us he would send us the adress in the next hour, that he would get us outside of the building* and make us meet our idols (at the time)"
And that's it for the thread~
I would like to thank
@askolovitchC
for making such a great & powerful presentation of Jonghyun 💞 It feels like he finally got the respect he deserves after being treated as a joke by so many journalists, really thank you 🙏🏽
"We interrogated ourselves a lot before going, we could feel something was off, that something wasn't normal but we still went there because we were a lot of girls and because we had decided to stick together during the party"
"I'll pass the details in chronological order but, fan of JJY, I went to him to thank him for sharing his good music with us and blablabla. He kinda* thanked me and continued to smoke his cigarette. We could feel that he was already quite drunk"
*: kinda/vaguely/quickly
*: I had to change the meaning a bit there but basically instead of going by themselves to the appartement where the party was, the staff member would come outside of the building to bring them to the appartement.
*: I'm not sure if he meant the "you" part after "I fuck" but there is a high probability that it is the case.
"J'te baise" (= "I fuck you")
"Je la baise" (= I would fuck her)
are sentences that french people use a lot, they are among the first things you would learn w/ insults
"We were told that those people were friends of JJY. It was one of the most awkward moment in my life. People looked at us as if we were intruders. Then we took a beer and we spoke with the members (but not JJY, he stood aside) "
"He also said Can I kiss you on your mouth ?, still in french, to the other girls. After exchanging a few words, he asked me about my age. If I'm not mistaken, I'm 10 years younger than him. He counted on his fingers and said that it was a lot."
@redditships
100% his dad is gay or he is just trying to be a good dad for his gay son, either way extremely wholesome.
Now I'm afraid of the next thing you'll post 💀
"We ended up in front of the building, the staff member asked us to shut up while we were going through the hall and to not take any picture.
We went upstairs and we saw the members in a giant living room with tooooooooons of people"
*: If I remember well he took french lessons in the past so he clearly knew what he was saying. And if he didn't I don't know a single french person who would have let him say that kind of stuffs like that to multiple girls.
"He proudly told us he went to the manager of a rookie female group to tell him to have them shut up. He said that they were training while singing off key and loudly when they didn't even sing during lives."
99% of the french news-outlets talked about his death as if
1) The Kpop industry was the ONLY thing to blame for his health
Because who cares about the lack of privacy caused by journalists, the critics of the general public, the prejudices against mental health,...
@patriamFrancia
Elle a un magnifique regard on dirait une sirène et le fait qu’elle soit voilée lui donne un flow incroyable, je serais très contente de la croiser
"He had scruples.
He supported the homosexuals & the transgenders in South Korea"
It would be too long to explain all the good things he did but please look for it on Twitter, he truly was an angel who cared about every human being💞
Koreans are using the Hallyu Wave to convey a positive & bright image of their country while also increasing their cultural influence.
Of course it isn't necessarily a bad thing, I mean, it's better to be represented as a rich & happy country than a country on the verge of war
Which is weird because usually you unlock the door of the building for your guest from your appartement & then have them come upstairs by themselves.
But anyway, back to the translation.
"Time passed and he was getting drunker and drunker. He was a bit touchy but we would avoid him with the other girls by always staying in grouped. He insisted sometimes for us to go together to the restroom* when we were waiting in line"
