Do you remember?

Man, there’s been a lot of news going on, especially in terms of agency movement and relationship stuff, but also

Most importantly, though, Crayon Pop’s ChoA is doing great with her twins after the ordeal of her pregnancy, and she’s being helped (?) out by her own twin Way.

Speaking of previous site faves, EXID’s Hyerin … is opening up a restaurant. Eat her tacos.

PocketDol has now appealed to the Supreme Court as the original ruling has been affirmed, of course. For EgoENT, it’s producers, choreographers, and stylists filing lawsuits against the company and CEO for lack of payment.

Ji Chang Wook basically just had to pay what the tax authority said he owed, so no biggie there, but the image management is a different story with all the celebs in trouble for this nowadays.

In terms of IU, I’ve said this before, but international netizens still don’t seem to get a lot of the controversy around IU nowadays is turned up to 100 because she has politically-motivated haters, who are very different from the celeb-hating kids wasting time on the Internet. Not saying her drama shouldn’t have been accurate or whatever the fuck, but people keep insinuating there’s something more to the backlash when it’s just them ironically endorsing their right-wingers to get jabs in at a celeb. Like they are literally parroting talking points from that Illuminati post from last year, just think a bit.

I cannot stress how blackpilled I’ve become on K-pop fans and their progressive sheen. None of them actually care about anything more than celeb drama and clout, so I find it hard to take them seriously when there’s outrage at this point — at least in the sense that it’s genuine.

Also, people online love to act like it’s only the men in South Korea who are conservative, but … uh, young women are also leaning more in that direction now if exit polls are anything to go by. Lovelyz‘s Jin and Berry Good‘s Johyun are the most prominent recent examples, but your idols from certain historically conservative parts of South Korea are every bit as likely to support stuff like this as some male idols from liberal parts of the country. Deal with that however you want, but if you suffer from cognitive dissonance about it, don’t shoot the messenger.

Number_i, the three former King & Prince members, had also previously signed with WME in February, so something is brewing there.

I honestly thought RAVN had left the company years ago after the gaslighting controversy that saw him exit the group.

Mark’s company being religiously named drew a bunch of concern (trolling?) but unless he starts making cult music, whatever.

Hyunjin being done with LATENCY after two months is unfortunate. Part of me wonders if the stresses of being in a band was just too much or if there was something else.

Eunbin’s retirement and subsequent requests to basically erase her public persona were a bit surprising but understandable. She also personally addressed her retirement that would happen after the group’s activities concluded.

Lee Da Hee and SE7EN have been dating since 2015 and married since 2023, so you know, it is possible to date that long and go on.

Apink’s Bomi and Rado did also get married, and this is a great lore video.

======

Billlie’s Tsuki is very online.

Admittedly I haven’t been in to BOYNEXTDOOR that much, but my respect for them has gone up since I found out they were real shitters.
