Finally, a voice of sanity. Media Today published a brilliant defense of the drama, and it completely exposes the flaws in the "distortion" narrative.
The show is literally titled 21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife (大군부인). The male lead is a Grand Prince (son of a KING), not an Imperial Prince. The world-building consistently established a modern surviving Kingdom, not an Empire.
Demanding a 12-string imperial crown for a King makes zero internal sense. The 9-string crown and "Cheonse" are completely consistent within the writer’s fictional timeline. It’s a creative AU choice, not a national crisis. Media Today is spot on: weaponizing "historical distortion" to cancel art is total overkill. 👑📰

Stray Kids have a lot of great stuff lined up for this year already, so before STAYs complain about PB not posting about any of it, please finally understand where they stand. We've always known that they don't like skz, but maybe actually seeing that they're mutuals with antis and are in a gc with them, too, will help get it through. Yes, they have a big following, but I promise you Stray Kids does not need them, so please finally stop begging them to post about them/being angry and upset when they don't.
JYP may not be the greatest person, but one thing I think he does deserve credit for is his commitment to never taking shortcuts when it comes to the growth of his artists and the company. It might be frustrating to us as fans, but deep down we all know it's the right thing to do
JYP banned all his employees from entertaining clients at 'room salons'.
Foreigners might think, "What's the big deal?"
This decision means that JYP is willing to accept the risk of not receiving favorable articles or promotional coverage from journalists about JYP artists.
South Korea is a country where 460 million dollars are spent annually at room salons using 'corporate cards'.
Most major companies in Korea meet clients in room salons, where women sit next to them, pour drinks, and even prostitution occurs. They exchange important confidential information there.
Of course, female employees are excluded from these meetings, which results in many women being overlooked for promotions.
You can say 'men's childish cartel'.
JYP said, "Seven years ago, I found myself sitting in a room salon under the pretense of networking, and I felt so pathetic that I decided to stop going to such places altogether." He advised his artists to "focus on improving your skills before trying to build a network."
JYP has consistently expressed in the media that he opposes his employees visiting room salons, even if it means the company grows slowly or even fails.
I don't agree with all his values, but considering that he runs a business targeted at a young fanbase, I believe this is an ethical decision.
His face may not be attractive,
but his mindset is admirable.
