K-pop gives video games a run for their money re: awful comments sections on social media. The kids (and adults) who engage with that stuff are marketed to so heavily to take ownership in their groups successes and it breeds toxic behavior across the internet. Best to just never read the comments anywhere ever.

K-pop also leans hard into parasocial relationships which only makes it all worse.

It's me, the one guy who hasn't seen the full original mv. I legit can't tell which parts are supposed to be his, hah. The chorus looks odd without group shots, but otherwise I'd buy it.

Soooo I started reading Jessica Jung's book (Shine) and it...rules? It's YA so like, not fine literature or anything, but I'm enjoying it because of the k-pop stuff I guess. Although you do have to wonder how much is based on her real experience (which I guess is the point).

Also it's got some good vocab like the Korean word for gently caress (ssibal)

I really need to start my copy, pre-ordered it but the drat thing released right around when I was moving. It looks like exactly the kind of YA trash I love and about a subject I love.

Excited for the Netflix adaptations. Jessica's been joking about how much she wants Krystal to play her stand in in it lmao

I would really highly recommend it (based on the two chapters i've read) for people with k-pop brain spiders; it's good fun

It is kind of insane that while snsd is for all intents and purposes over, the original members never publicly reached back out to Jessica iirc. So strange, but thems the brakes I guess

For the members still under SM, it may be a contractual thing. For the others at this point it's more likely an image thing, as they're technically still members of SNSD, so having a group of girls who never acknowledge that Jessica existed and then a few who do would be pretty weird. You get the girls slipping up sometimes when talking about ye olden days of the group, but it's p rare.

There's always been a quiet knowledge that Jessica and some of the members seem to still be in contact, but no overt proof obviously. I'd imagine members like Hyoyeon, Yuri and Sooyoung who had all trained nearly as long as she did pre debut she's probably still fairly tight with. Sunny as well-- she's honestly never seemed the same since Jessica was given the boot. Girl looked so miserable all the time the first year or so after the fact. But hey that could just be because her knee is mad hosed up too.

tis a mystery

The day SM or SNSD publicly acknowledge Jessica again will be insane. I hope it happens. Having an OT9 comeback for the 15th or 20th anniversary would be amazing ... buuuut very unlikely to ever happen. OT8 for sure, but anything else is wishful thinking.

The mix/mastering changes from the early version have some odd choices like jacking the drums but the vocal lines and especially harmonies in the last chorus are great. I wish they would let Nayeon go off live like that.

The bubble for JYPnation app launched and I guess you pay $8USD to access a chat room for the group you want? Except the chatroom is set up so you're supposed to think you're the only one in there with the group? I'd love to see what the artists see because I'm imagining it being like a regular vlive chat where it's impossible to read anything

This version of I Can't Stop Me rules and they're all killing it with live vocals which seems to be really rare at these award shows. It was so clean I couldn't tell if it was live other than Jihyo's opener until you hear Momo cup her mic for a dance part.

Here's the more specific track credits, if you can read hangul.

I liked this with IU chatting to ITZY. Has some live singing about halfway through with IU covering an Itzy song and Itzy covering IU's BBIBBI. I imagine there's alot of groups that would love to sit down and do this with her.
