the reason why IU’s “Dear My Crazy Soulmate” MV is so emotional to me is because:
Na Moon-hee and Kim Young-ok, the two actresses in it, have actually been best friends in real life for over 60 years.
and Yoo In-na, who the song is dedicated to, is IU’s real-life best friend too.
the fact that IU chose two women who have literally grown old together to tell a story about her own best friend… idk it feels like a quiet little prayer that she and Yoo In-na get to grow old together just like them.this is actually so beautiful 😭
This feels so unfair. Why should a womans career be ruined because of something her family did? She is being blamed and punished for actions she didnt commit while male actors who have been involved in serious crimes still have a career. Korea is such a misogynistic country
Tak berdosa.
Kahwin hukumnya tak wajib kepada semua orang. Ada yang sunat, ada yang makruh bahkan haram kepada mereka yang tidak bertanggungjawab untuk kahwin.
Setiap individu tahu letak duduknya di mana.
“i don’t know… i think there’s a lot of foreigners here. anyway, you guys can probably translate this amongst yourselves but… you have to be good to korean people” he’s so gone 😭
Guys this is actually INSANE 😭😭
DNA belonging to Police Officer A, who was arrested for allegedly falsely closing a missing person case was reportedly found in the women’s restroom of the police station where he worked.
DNA analysis confirmed that palm prints found on the upper walls on both sides of a toilet stall at Jeju Seobu Police Station matched Officer A’s DNA.
Koreans are now calling for his identity to be revealed and honestly… I hope they release it because 😭
A man working as a police officer allegedly involved in closing missing-person cases AND his DNA being found inside the women’s restroom at his own station??? That is beyond disturbing.
If these allegations are proven, this is giving predator hiding in plain sight and it’s genuinely terrifying. 😭
Several hybe shareholders are increasingly directing their frustration at the company’s leadership over its ongoing legal disputes with mhj and danielle as well as hanni’s unresolved visa situation. some are even calling on hybe to apologize particularly to danielle, offer her favorable settlement terms, restore newjeans as a five member group, including bringing mhj back to oversee newjeans’ production.
They also point to the board of directors for wasting money on lost legal disputes and expensive lawyers, without bringing any benefits to their investments.
Current score in Min Hee-jin vs HYBE Lawsuits:
MHJ: 2
HYBE: 0
After her first win, she offered HYBE to not pay her $18.5M in exchange for dropping all cases against her and NewJeans members, families and ADOR employees, let the girls be free from the company's abuse and offer them the environment to continue presenting in the worldwide stages.
"25.6 billion won is a huge amount that most people cannot afford even for a lifetime, And it's a very precious fund for me, who just announced a new beginning."
"There is something I consider even more important, NewJeans"
"I propose to HYBE that, the 25.6 billion won, they cease all lawsuits concerning the NewJeans members and everyone else involved in this matter."
"I can no longer endure seeing members who ought to be joyfully performing on stage instead appearing in a courtroom. Neither the members on stage nor the fans can feel happy witnessing this situation."
"The NewJeans members must be going through an extremely difficult time right now, and I want them to know that there are adults who stand by their side. There are values I hold dear that surpass money."
I hope that this decision to forgo 25.6 billion won will help contribute to the growth of K-pop. I had a clear vision when launching NewJeans. While it is deeply unfortunate, I hope ADOR will uphold the commitments regarding activities that it stated in court.
Clearing the way for the artists to shine once more, that is the only responsibility adults should fulfill.
The 25.6 billion won does not outweigh the importance of the artists reclaiming a peaceful daily life.
I hope that we, as adults, can go back to the fundamental principle of competing through music and performances on stage, instead of through legal battles in court.
I say this to HYBE and Chairman Bang Si-hyuk: let us come together through our work, through music and creative endeavors.
Opting for reconciliation is the most prudent choice for shareholders and fans alike. As the head of ooak Records, I plan to move forward on a new path."
I hope that, after today, there will be no further draining press conferences. From this point forward, I want to meet you not in press conference halls, but on the stage of creation.
I hope that the sincerity I have shown today is delivered and serves as a chance for the entire K-pop industry to breathe once more."
