Everyday Goast posted:Hello I can't stop listening to Taemin's new track Criminal If you haven't listened to the rest of Taemin's solo stuff already, you are in for such a drat treat and I am jelly. I would also recommend the SuperM mini and the full album they just dropped, personally I think it leans into more of an EXO and NCT sound than SHINee, but it's a mix of all three and some of the only boy band stuff since SHINee for me, at least, that I've really gotten into. Good timing to start paying attention to kpop atm if you're a SHINee fan. Onew and Key finished their military service this year, Minho is out next month and we have about a year? before Taemin has to enlist. I fully expect SM to squeeze at least one comeback out before Taemin goes off to duty. It'll never be the same without Jonghyun, but I'm really looking forward to seeing the boys all together again. 100bux does seem like a lot for an album from one of the few groups that actually sells their albums in the west. Is it a bundle at least or smth?

Yeah! I follow Key on instagram (lol) so I saw he recently discharged. Now I just gott wait for a BigBang comeback and 2012 me will be GOOD TO GO. The album comes with bunch of stuff (photocards, posters, booklets etc) but they haven't even released the concept or design stuff yet!

I know this isn't a j-pop thread, but I couldn't find one. I can't believe it's taken me this long to come across Perfume. I love that type of extremely processed upbeat electronic pop, but I feel like k-pop has moved on from that pretty much. I have never really gotten into j-pop the way I did with k-pop, so this feels like a gateway into a new obsession lmao Their recent single Time Warp is really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M4EwGf-lH0 vvv I love that!

There's some drama surrounding Irene from RV going around - sounds like she was verbally abusive to a photo editor. She and SM have put out apologies. The post that made the allegations was 'liked' by a bunch of people that have worked with RV in the past so people are speculating that this isn't an isolated occurrence. Apparently it's all over social media in SK. https://www.allkpop.com/article/202...otoshoot-editor https://www.allkpop.com/article/2020/10/former-red-velvet-fashion-coordinator-likes-editors-post-about-tantrum-by-idol-alleged-to-be-irene

It always sucks when people turn out to actually be assholes, hopefully she can be a better person from now on but from the sounds of it she may have been behaving this way for a while. Also, one of twice's makeup artists had some ill-timed comments put out today about how they've been very kind over the last 5 years so now people are mad about the timing of that lol Centusin fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Oct 22, 2020 |

Man all the crazy twitter stans out here defending Irene when she and SM have already admitted she did wrong and had her apologize. smdh Hopefully she learns and grows the gently caress up from this. Tho honestly with how seriously the Korean GP takes bullying, and it not being an isolated incident, this could be very bad for RV's upcoming comeback should she be involved in it. Soompi article on the apologies b/c I don't want to give AKP or Koreaboo any clicks: https://www.soompi.com/article/1433126wpp/red-velvets-irene-apologizes-after-accusations-about-her-behavior It's not like she's some young foolish kid idol, either. Irene's a grown rear end woman and should know better than to treat staff like poo poo. e: on a lighter note, considering RV debuted earlier than intended when SM was in the midst of scandal will lol hard if SM's new GG suddenly debuts should this Irene stuff hinder any of RV's upcoming plans e2: seems to be a decent number of people who have worked as RV staff in the past defending her/sharing their good experiences with her as well, so at least it isn't her being a bitch to everyone all the time i guess still tho smdh esperterra fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Oct 22, 2020 |

Plenty of idols are super reserved or have RBF tbf, not worth judging a person's personality based on that. But this kind of behaviour coming out does make her Ice Princess nickname feel like way less of the joke it was when Jessica had the same nickname back in the day, for sure.

As the Irene situation has developed further I have no idea how it's going to shape out. They're talking about delaying the premiere of Irene's new film. And it sounds like it was only SM staff that apologised at first, Irene was only forced to apologise when SM found out there was a recording. There's a lot of people defending her but most of them still seem to work for SM so it's hard to see that as anything other than a PR exercise, especially when it would be difficult for other people to say anything bad without the risk of legal action being taken against them. A Chinese stylist that seems to have worked with a lot of celebrities also spoke out against her you'd think the AOA situation would have made people realise the impact verbal abuse can actually have on someone

I wonder if RV can try to to comeback without Irene for the moment if they haven't recorded any tracks yet. If not, now would be a good time for the members to pursue solo projects.

RV has pulled out of a fan meeting they were supposed to be part of, and yeah I'd imagine any planned comeback for this year is being delayed. This situation's hard as hell to read b/c there's a ton of false information going around both for and against her. And I personally do not trust almost anything posted to koreaboo or allkpop, they cherry pick translations and spread misinformation all the time. I can read Korean okay but not well enough to schlep my rear end over to Naver and get a proper feel of what's going on. From what I can tell: Irene's 20 minute flip out was clearly true considering how fast Irene and SM both apologized online, and Irene going to apologize to the editor in person. There were some other industry people in comments vagueposting about how Irene has had a bad attitude in the past. But a huge majority of the people who are being cited as proof she's done this a lot in the past were simply people liking an instagram post and the internet jumping to conclusions. The two biggest claims against Irene I could find last night are the one that started this all, and another from a Chinese stylist who posted on her Weibo account about an encounter in 2018. Far more industry people are coming forward to defend her character than coming forward with stories of her abuse. Any talk about her movie being delayed because of this scandal was a rumour, and the person claiming to be a staff member abused by her on set was proven to be fake from what I can tell. This movie was already in talks for being delayed over Covid-19 and the production company went out of their way to clear up that misunderstanding. From where I'm standing her behaviour looks to be not as common as was originally believed when this story first broke and the internet ran wild with it, but she DID go off on that editor for 20 minutes and make her cry, and has definitely been a dick to some staffs in the past. Hopefully this means it isn't an every day occurance for her and she'll be able to grow and learn from it way more easily than if she was a raging diva 24/7. Either way the ground her career stands on seems p shaky atm, depending on how this all pans out in the next few days. The other members seem to be mostly safe from it. I think Yeri has had a few things said about her own 'ungrateful' attitude, but I'm unsure how much of that is actual instances from the past or people just assuming since she and Irene are so close, and Yeri is already kind of unpopular with people just due to having joined the group late. Seulgi is also incredibly close to Irene but is already very well known for being a good person, so she's been p safe along with Wendy who also has a reputation for being very nice. Joy seems to have been left mostly out of the conversation thankfully. RV will definitely come back from this, it's just a matter of when and whether or not Irene will be a part of that, and if she does stay a member of the group whether or not they put her on a longer hiatus and have an OT4 comeback before she can perform with them again. It's a tough thing to try and make any call on b/c there are idols and celebs whose careers have survived scandals like this before, but uh, it's mostly men who seem to be able to slide through that poo poo. Female idols have had careers ended over less. It also doesn't help that Irene is one of the most famous faces in Korea period, so this news is very loving big over there. e: also from what i can tell only one of the people defending Irene is an actual SM employee (at least from where I left off last night), one of their backup dancers who has been with them from the beginning. The other industry people coming forward certainly have worked with SM and their artists but aren't actual employees iirc e2: also worth mentioning that even if they do come back without Irene, it'll be a p rocky road for RV in terms of how successful any OT4 comeback ends up being. Irene is far and away the most popular member and her Chinese fanclub alone is a huge part of their sales numbers e3: https://www.soompi.com/article/1433344wpp/editor-writes-post-after-receiving-apology-from-red-velvets-irene more info from the editor on what originally happened esperterra fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Oct 23, 2020 |

TV Zombie posted:SM could use a distraction from Irene at the moment. Hope the new group has some good songs. It's strangely fitting. Red Velvet's debut happened early due to the scandal over the Chinese EXO members suing to get out of their contracts. It's very full circle lmao e: it's looking like SM has been leaving their usual breadcrumbs in other group's MVs this year, so aespa was probably meant to debut for the end of the year anyway. good timing tho lol esperterra fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Oct 26, 2020 |

First impressions of Eyes Wide Open: I Can't Stop Me is one of the best title tracks in their discography imo. Early standouts among the b-sides: Do What We Like, Handle It, Shot Clock, Depend On You, Say Something, Behind The Mask. A few underwhelming tracks around the middle but the tracklist ends super strong. Love it - gonna be on repeat all day. They'll be on Studio Choom for the first time soon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35wcLcVucW8 Thom and the Heads fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Oct 26, 2020 |

I upgraded to a 4K TV and Studio Choom has been an amazing showcases of its abilities. K-pop in general has been putting out the best 4K content this past year. Searching for "k-choreo" on Youtube is a pro move. With the pandemic going on all these k-pop groups are still performing on stage shows, and because there's no audience, the studios are setting up UHD cameras front row center to replicate the experience of being there. A few are even recorded in HDR like Not Shy and Monster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sBYToJ_WUU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FUQFzB7eeY
