@her_nxt_chapter @sunshine_080507 In Korea and Japan, it's a way to insult people. Like "you look old" means "you look bad."

@TheKpopProf @StarbucksKorea AI as the new scapegoat for incompetence.

@a1071364 Saw aespa live on Apple TV. They were very stiff and looked as if they didn't want to mess up their look. Not performing for the audience.

@jooninmyarea I know!! WTF? Why?

[ElleinKorea @ElleinKorea]

@materialcontext @hyyhphoria @koryodynasty You understand that most of their songs are in Korean, right? The popularity of their music to the point of a comparison to the Beatles is itself uncommon and experimental

[ElleinKorea @ElleinKorea]

@KeruboSk I do it all the time.

@Ke38K63719 @taesdawn26 You answered your own question. Go see it on the big screen. It was beautiful!

@DutchRania @simscircuit He may be pretty incredible himself. Why limit the possibilities??

[ElleinKorea @ElleinKorea]

@hyovrse You know that's not Shin Mi Na. That's Han Hyo - joo.

@chartdata It was a rhetorical question. My point being that the "label" female was intended to marginalize. Taylor is winning and she deserves the crown of "most streamed ARTIST" in 2025. & I'm not even a Swiftie.

[ElleinKorea @ElleinKorea]

@chartdata Why 'female' artist? What about just artist?
Is there another list that I haven't seen yet?

[ElleinKorea @ElleinKorea]

@byebyefeverever @Kpop_Divaj8mw My point is that they are shareholders of Hybe. That was part of their contract renewal payment. BTS are not kids, they are adults and more powerful than your post suggests.

[ElleinKorea @ElleinKorea]

@byebyefeverever @Kpop_Divaj8mw ahem... BTS owns a chunk of Hybe. BigHit signed BTS.

@safetyzonehsk Sugar is so quiet...

[ElleinKorea @ElleinKorea]

@yeontanwanna_be @charts_k @BTS_twt All the song writers are kpop artists and the singers/actors/director are of Korean descent, and the subject matter is K-pop and Korean culture.

@koryodynasty Thank you. You've scratched the surface of a deeply patriarchal society in a highly competitive leap frog tech economy, where a "femi" label equals slander. First, women get equal pay for equal work, then yes, they all conscribe. There are plenty of desk jobs in the military.

[ElleinKorea @ElleinKorea]

@kanydiabate Know that you are appreciated by many, including myself. You make the show so much more interesting and I see your passion and humanity. Thank you!

@koryodynasty The pressure should be on Naver and Kakao to do better in English. They can do it with the right incentives.
