@alilpiamd63290 Well, I don’t follow them like that, I looked it up. From what I can find, NuNew won a jury-decided acting award while Namping’s win was fan-voted/paid voting.

[Bangtan's Beach @Eillil77]

NuNew isn’t the best actor and I’d never claimed he is. He still has room to grow. But comparing his acting to Namping’s is where you lose me.

NuNew has significantly more natural on-screen ability. He emotes well. His eyes are expressive, his face actually moves, and you can read what his character is feeling without needing dialogue to spell it out. There’s nuance in his expressions and he actually reacts to the person he’s acting opposite.

His biggest problem is sometimes overly deliberate delivery, and the fact that he’s been saddled with Aof’s direction and painfully slow pacing for most projects. Better direction and more varied material would do him a world of good.

Namping, by comparison, is substantially more limited on screen! The biggest problem is that he seems incapable of making expressions. His emotional range is very narrow. He is stiff in his face/body and there is no feeling there.

NuNew doesn’t have to be an extraordinary actor for me to recognize that there’s a pretty significant gap between them.

@alilpiamd63290 Paid awards most likely.

Oh no, she’s in rage. 😭 A mascot didn’t attend a birthday party and somehow we’ve arrived at “KNP are being sidelined for that fandom.” Nobody stopped KNP from working. Nobody took away an opportunity. Nobody interfered with their careers. Aof made a decision about a mascot and then unnecessarily blamed fans for it. If you want to be angry, be angry at the person who dragged fandoms into a completely insignificant management decision and created drama where none needed to exist.

[Chen 🦆🐰 is seeing KNP & BTS @knp_haven]

I am still in rage!!!

That fandom has been accusing KNP of being Aoftion's favorites for months, bullying them and hating on their success, and now we found out that Aoftion is sidelining KNP & OhAe just for their fandom's sake. CLOWNS

I’ll say it, people hold Joon to this impossible standard bc they feel he’s not “attractive” enough and therefore he has to earn grace from the people.

It’s a cognitive bias that associates looks= morality. His flaws are amplified,
his positive traits deemed performative.

I rlly want to urge every kpop Stan to read the textbook definition of “racism” and “zionism” to deeply understand the weight of these words and how it’s a slap in the face to use them for fanwars instead of actual activism

[shu(ga) SAW BANGTAN @myglight]

hating on celebrities is not activism and i wish y’all would stop being naive enough thinking it is. it does nothing to help people in the real world.

[Valerie❤️‍🔥☁️ @Valistryingg]

Social media is breeding a very dangerous type of person en masse, and it’s the type of person who is truly unintelligent, lacks any real comprehension, refuses to see nuance or apply context clues to any situation, but will speak with authority on things they don’t understand.

namjoon deserves a better fandom

This argument collapses sexual orientation, gender expression, and company branding into one thing, when they’re separate issues.

The question is whether the remarkable consistency of the presentation is organic. If a company repeatedly produces pairings where one member occupies the more masculine “top” position and the other occupies the softer/feminine “bottom” position, and an actor becomes noticeably aligned with their role after joining or being paired, then it’s reasonable to question how much of that is individual expression versus deliberate branding.

Even if the public pairing narrative were completely spontaneous, gay men don't naturally sort themselves into identical masc/femme visual binaries according to sexual position. That's a BL convention, not a reflection of the diversity of actual gay men.

The important distinction is: femininity isn't the problem. Manufactured uniformity is. A genuinely inclusive company would make room for feminine men, masculine men, and every combination in between. If virtually every pairing keeps reproducing the same visual hierarchy, calling that “letting everyone be themselves” deserves scrutiny.

And the strongest evidence isn't simply how someone looks today. It's the before-and-after pattern. If multiple people with quite different presentations enter the company, get assigned the same romantic archetype, and then their styling, mannerisms, content and marketing all shift toward the same recognizable template, “they're just naturally like that” or "they became more comfortable being themsleves" becomes a much weaker explanation.

Being gay wouldn't disprove the molding, either. A gay actor can still be packaged into a commercially useful stereotype of gay masculinity or femininity. Those two things can coexist.

ทำไมไม่ลองคิดกลับกันบ้างว่า ที่ค่ายมันมีแต่เคะออกสาว อาจไม่ใช่เพราะค่ายพยายามจะปั้นทุกคนให้เป็นทรงเดียวกัน แต่เพราะมันอาจเป็นหนึ่งในไม่กี่ค่ายที่เปิดรับและให้พื้นที่กับเคะแบบนี้ตั้งแต่แรกก็ได้ เลยทำให้ภาพรวมของค่ายออกมาดูเป็นแบบนั้น ใครจะเป็นตัวเองแบบไหนก็ได้ และบางคนก็เป็นเกย์จริง ๆ ด้วยซ้ำ เลยยิ่งไม่ได้มองว่าการเป็นเคะออกสาวหรือการมีความเฟมินีนเป็นปัญหา แค่ลองมองอีกมุมว่าบางทีเหตุผลที่ค่ายมีภาพแบบนี้เยอะ อาจเป็นเพราะมันเปิดพื้นที่ให้คนกลุ่มนี้มากกว่าที่อื่นก็ได้

No, I don’t completely agree that they’re all simply “being themselves.” If everyone only seems to “become themselves” after signing a DMD contract, and that version of themselves repeatedly ends up resembling NuNew, similar mannerisms, presentation, etc, and even the same type of ship dynamic, then at some point we have to acknowledge that this isn’t entirely organic.

I’m not blaming the actors. But DMD isn’t just finding people who happen to resemble a successful formula; they’re actively shaping and marketing them to fit it. When the same transformation happens again and again after entering the same company, that’s a template.

And that’s why it can feel like DMD keeps trying to manufacture NuNew 2, 3, 4 instead of figuring out what actually makes each individual artist unique and developing that.

ฉันเก็ทที่เจ้าของทวิตจะสื่อนะ คือเคะทุกคนในค่ายก็เป็นตัวเองนั้นแหละไม่ได้เลียนแบบอะไรกันแต่ว่ามันคือค่ายมากกว่าที่เห็นว่าเออแบบนุนิวมันดีนะคาแรคเตอร์ทำนองนี้ตกคนได้ เออแล้วถ้าร้องเพลงได้เต้นได้แบบที่นุนิวทำมันโดนชมว่ะ ค่ายเลยอาจจะเข้าใจว่าต้องพยายามหาคนแบบนุนิวเพิ่มอีก มันเลยกลายเป็นนุนิว 1 2 3 4 ทั้ง ๆ ที่เด็กทุกคนก็เป็นตัวเองแหละแต่ค่ายมันไปจับมารวมกันในค่ายให้ร้องให้เต้นให้โชว์เพลงต่างประเทศทั้ง ๆ ที่ไม่ใช่สิ่งที่เด็กหลาย ๆ คนถนัดจากจะส่งเสริมหลาย ๆ ครั้งเลยกลายเป็นทำร้ายตรงนี้ค่ายต้องปรับด้วยสงสารดาราที่เค้าตั้งใจทำเต็มที่แต่แค่เค้าไม่ถนัดมันเลยกลายเป็นประเด็นที่ไม่น่าเกิดขึ้น ถ้าในฐานะเมนนุนิวก็มีความเฟลนิดนึงบางครั้งที่มองไปแล้วแอบรู้สึกว่าดมดพยายามหานุนิวคนที่สองเกินไปจนทำให้คาแรคเตอร์แบบนุนิวโดนโยงไปเป็นเคะออกสาวแบบเดียวกับคนอื่น ๆ ดาราไม่มีใครผิดค่ายก็ไม่ผิดแต่แค่การวางโพสิชั่นที่รูปแบบเดียวกันเกินไปจนทำให้ภาพจำค่ายออกมาแบบที่เห็น

Thank you Dolly Parton for being good to our boys and making JK cry ❤️💜

There should at least be a baseline level of talent before getting a series and a concert. Plucking good-looking kids who want fame and fortune without any discernible talent will yield the same issues again and again: people saying they can’t act, can’t sing, etc.

They focus on ships who looks good together, who can mimic the same vibes as previously popular pairs, and who can make fans believe they’re real couples. That’s what matters to them. If there is actual talent there, it feels more like an accident than the design.

Some people will not develop. Some people just weren’t cut out for certain jobs. Not everyone can be an actor, singer or performer. Practice doesn’t always make progress.

Recycling a two-year-old clip to talk about someone’s current performance skills is just lazy.

What he lacks in that performance is sharpness, dynamic control, and finished lines. Those things have come with time, confidence, and practice.

If you have to dig back two years just to make a point, you've already lost the argument.

What makes NuNew truly stand out isn't starting out flawless but the control, energy, and command he brings to the stage now.
