Everything is political.
Kahit yang pagfafangirl mo or โyung KPop, political โyan. โYung pag-skip ng mga kpop groups/ solos sa Pinas ay hindi lang dahil trip nila or ayaw nila sa bansa.
I waited until EXHORIZON was over before sharing this because I wanted to tell the story with a clear mind. This isn't about hate or compensation - it's about accountability, transparency, and awareness.
hay to all filo k-pop stans out there, i hope you guys are watching the senate and impeachment trials as much as you watch your faves. tignan nโyo kung paano tayo tinatrato ng mga binoboto at iniluluklok natin sa puwesto.
everything is political, kahit sa k-pop. hindi lang ito tungkol sa idols or fanwars. politics affects our education, trabaho, healthcare, rights, at kinabukasan. you can stream your faves and still stay informed at the same time.
and donโt even start with, โeh kung walang concert dito ng faves ko, edi pupunta ako ng ibang bansa.โ thatโs not even the point. not everyone has the privilege to fly abroad, and people shouldnโt have to leave the country just to access opportunities or experiences. if artists and events keep skipping the philippines, maybe ask why. look at the bigger picture instead of brushing it off.
artists and tour organizers donโt just randomly skip countries. there are many factors they considerโtaxes, logistics, venue availability, infrastructure, security, regulations, market conditions, and the overall business environment. government policies can influence those conditions, even if theyโre not the only reason. so instead of acting like itโs completely unrelated to politics, maybe look at the bigger picture.
support your idols, but donโt stop paying attention to whatโs happening in our country. being a k-pop stan and being politically aware can coexist. hold those in power accountable.
Alam niyo ba kung bakit napapadalas na ang pag-skip ng foreign acts sa Pinas kapag may tour sila? RED TAPE
Based sa kwento ng mga kakilala ko sa field, umaaray ang promoters sa 30% amusement tax sa Pinas (7% sa Thailand). In short, 70% na lang ng gross sales ang paghahatian nila at ng artists.
Hindi lang 'yun, grabe rin daw ang red tape sa mismong LGU. Yung isang city diyan sa NCR, grabe raw kung maningil ng pampadulas at may hiwalay na bayad din ultimo sa mga traffic enforcers na maga-assist sa paligid ng venues. In short, sa sobrang dami ng need bayaran di na lang sila pupunta dito.
this is the trip minzy was talking about. it was minzy, dara, g-dragon, taeyang, and hyunseung who went on the trip together. this was around 2004/2005
they were among the earliest yg trainees and part of the original trainee generation that spent years training together

๐ค: #WINNER hyungs said they want to do a joint concert with #iKON
๐: Where did they say that? Was it at their concert? Oh, really? But how did they end up singing our song at their concert this time? I actually had no idea. If the opportunity comes, we'd definitely be up for it. I think it'd be really fun to do it with (WINNER) hyungs. Have we ever done a joint concert before? Other than (YG) family concerts, I don't think we've ever done one. There was a time when WINNER performed one day and iKON on another day, but I don't think we've ever actually held a joint concert together.
๐ค: I miss the Family concert.
๐: That's a past we can't go back to. In our hearts, we're still family, but in reality, we're not family anymore. ๐ Because we're no longer under the same company.
PRE DEBUT GD MADE MINZY CRY ???? โน๏ธ
minzy: we went to a theme park and i was excited when we came back, but he told me i was too fierce so i went to the bathroom and cried. he followed me and started begging me for my forgiveness, saying he was so sorry
se7en: gd was also in middle school by then, a hs freshman at best, but so savage ???? ๐ญ๐ญ
So it wasn't only the gesture of sunbae supporting and covering hobae's song, it was the act of iKON transferring YG legacy in the hands of the new generation (Treasure) as the last gift before leaving ๐
