Never let the haters rewrite history: "oh the scandal did T-ara so much damage, they could have been huge", bitch they WERE huge, this song was EVERYWHERE when it came out and it was right during the peak trendy-to-hate period. Happy anniversary.
Crazy that this is the first stuff that occurs to kpop fans, not
Slave contracts
Unhealthy dieting
K-beauty standards
Sexual assault
Oh no. The veneers are the problem lol
Kpop fans only care about social issues as a weapon, nothing more. There's no actual morality there. They'll fake "concern" to the end if it's someone not on their "team", and hand-wave away/misdirect anything that might reflect badly on their own little corner.
how easily kpop stans believe and spread misinformation is telling on how much (read as: how little) these people actually care about societal issues. they take one piece of an incident and reduce it to something as simple as fodder for their petty fanwars. the disrespect
Kitty is BACK eating properly and getting healthy again! We need to regulate her diet for a bit but she was given green light from the vet today! Thank you to everyone who helped, it made a HUGE difference to her!
Criticism of my fictional book series: "why is there so much profanity and violence and trauma, why are almost all the male characters evil, it's not realistic, it's so exaggerated".
Meanwhile, in Korea:
this is rapping. this is a RAPPER. they understand rap. rap is not blablabla, fast rapping does not mean you can rap. your pen game, your understanding of a beat, yeah.
It annoys me to have to do it, but going on private just so my followers who follow me in good faith don't have to read endless boring reams of me conversing with the NuguPromoter fan horde. Doing it for your benefit. What a pity such a good account has such toxic followers.
This comment, on a POSITIVE review. K-pop fans want nothing but total positivity, they demand total adherence to the cult of fandom delusion. No humour, no observations, no personality, just blind obedience. They want their reviews to be as whitewashed as their idols.
People right now have a lot of energy for caring about a bunch of top-tier businesspeople's penny-pinching contractual squabblings, wouldn't it be nice if some of that energy was spent on caring about the welfare of the people further down the corporate pecking order...
If it was up to k-pop companies when the right time is to ask questions like this, the answer is never. Real professional interviews done properly are to find out actual information, they're not to make idols "comfortable" or make them "look good".
This change actually makes Twitter illegal in the European Union, so in the short amount of time while you can still read this tweet before the EU bans Twitter, here's a summary of my other social network activity for European readers:
Effective March 20, 2023, only Twitter Blue subscribers will be able to use text messages as their two-factor authentication method. Other accounts can use an authentication app or security key for 2FA. Learn more here:
My concept artist is being paid very well in USD for the work on the "Show Me Love" backstory material. Meanwhile, over at
@nugupromoter
who have WAY more traction than me, you get "paid in exposure" to be their "visual member". Shame.
All the CBX fans who accused me of stirring shit or being anti-EXO/a hater for suggesting that there was still something very wrong here even though SM supposedly smoothed this issue over before can apologise like right fucking now
BAEKHYUN, CHEN and XIUMIN’s agency ‘INB100’ announces that they will hold an emergency press conference today (10th) to accuse SM Entertainment of unfair treatment.
Note viewcount when I talk about political (and great) black music vs when I talk about some average k-pop B=side from an A-list artist. K-pop fans love to spout the language of tolerance but don't believe for a second that they will tolerate you if you deviate from the script.
Sushi bar I'm having lunch in is playing non stop bangers. Yves "new" chuu "aliens", some lovelyz song can't remember which one, leaving before the weak krnb starts
Gosh wouldn't it be neat if there was some writer out there who was finding out stuff like this off the record from anonymous contacts and putting it into novels. I'll let you know if I ever find out about such a person.
📢 Family of a member of FIFTY FIFTY said that one of them had to run away from the company because she kept having panic attacks.
She once fainted and woke up in the hospital.
Another family member described ATTRAKT as a prison and said that they don’t think they could
How does someone hate me because of my boobs rankings AND like Pocket Girls, like, do you not know what Pocket Girls is about. Reminds me of my vegan friend who refuses to give up ice cream.
Technically this is a foursome. The fact that the author of this comment has "written him/herself out" of the sexual equation indicates possible low self-esteem and a lack of hope. I hope that this person is getting the help that they need.
I don't know why everyone is being mean to Seinfeld all of a sudden in my timeline. I mean his humour was never my speed, but at least he's a big T-ara stan! Apparently he owns all 17 photobooks that were released by OT6 T-ara, google "Seinfeld 17" to find out more.
Just found out a work colleague personally knows someone in one of the more recent "big 3" groups. Of course this will not influence any projects I'm working on in any way whatsoever...
Stiglitz, the Kpopalypse stream cat, is very ill and has to go in for very expensive medical tests. Uncertain what the outlook is at this stage, I'll know more by stream time tomorrow. If you've ever considered supporting Kpopalypse and haven't, now's a good time.
Apologies to my readers as Clyde has not only refused to bail out Loona, he's now also broken the Chuu+ bot. There is no way I'm giving money to him to keep the bot up, he can suck on an emerald.
Thanks to all the people who supported Stiglitz! Unsure what's happening at this stage as still in queue at the animal hospital, there's multiple emergencies here. Will keep you updated.
The worst kind of thought cancer that permeates all k-pop fandoms is "if it's not 100% positive it must be buried to protect my bias". Young people taking their first baby-steps in corruption through fandom culture.
I’m sorry but the way ppl have hijacked the
#SHAMEONHYBE
hashtag is nothing short of insidious. A hashtag that had NOTHING to do with 875. So now people can’t even criticise a fuckass company for literally having ties w/ someone who is continuously posting pro genocide
Performers are exploited, starved, mistreated, locked into financial servitude: "yeah we all know that goes on but what can you do, hey". Two rich people at the top have a fight: "oh my I care very deeply about this, here's my incredibly hot take, gosh they had better listen"
Antenna shares Super Junior Kyuhyun has received treatment for a light abrasion on his finger
This follows after a women in her 30s has been arrested and booked for trespassing into the musical dressing room with a weapon - Kyuhyun is noted for attempting to stop her
Recent changes to my schedule means I have less time to write roundup now. So expect reviews that are extra lazy, extra annoying, extra likely to piss you off for the remainder of 2023.
For 8 years I did a k-pop radio show and I used to do callouts for anyone bothered by my content to visit the station for a chat, no appointment necessary as I was always in the same place at the same time every week. Strangely I never had anyone take me up on that.
If anyone notices a very strong correlation between some of the plot developments in my novel and some of the recent revelations about people at certain large k-pop companies, know that my novel is completely fictional and any similarity is just coincidence. 😇
DPR IAN to feature on one of IU double title track "Shopper"
MV for Shopper is produced by DPR Visuals and is an Electro-Pop song featuring IU's high-note singing skills in the chorus which exceed the skill from her signature 3-note from "Good Day"
9MUSES are preparing to comeback sometime in July - August 2023 as a full group
9MUSES A subunit (Kyungri, Hyemi, Sojin, Keumjo) plans to release a new song as early as May 2023
I'm not getting as much engagement out of my tweets as usual, I'm blaming Clyde again for borking Twitter. At least with nobody being able to read what I tweet anymore I won't have to worry about getting ratioed by a new fandom every week. You can't ratio what you can't find.
If everyone bitching about me and ratioing my tweets to try and make themselves look cool and virtuous instead donated a dollar to NuguPromoter, maybe they won't have to rely on volunteers anymore. Why not help them.

Hey, this is a great interview I did a few years back. Gosh, it would be a shame if something happened to it due to "external forces" hint hint perhaps you don't have much more than a few hours to read this if you haven't yet ahem cough
