#HYBEdivestfromZionism

[bandzboy]

no more zionist propaganda

[hongtonie]

hello there’s gonna be another kpop boycott! from april 1st - may 1st. again this is not super organized as far as i can tell there isn’t a hashtag or anything to follow (yet, not sure if there will be one in the future), but that doesn’t mean it’s a not a good idea. here is a thread that has ways to listen unofficially for hybe groups and here is a master post with resources for palestine and palestinian individuals and families

[karinasbaby]

there’s absolutely zero explanation as to why belift would actually send enhypen to another tour when fate plus (which was ALREADY a very unnecessary tour) ended not even 24 hours.

i genuinely can’t seem to wrap my head around this entire situation because there’s no sane company that would overwork their own artists like this. not when they’re sick. not when they can’t even properly perform and give it their all. not when they themselves have spoken about how draining and tiring these past two years have been for them.

it’s so absurd. so weird and so wrong of belift to send them on a tour ignoring engenes protests. to ignore the trending tags and all the protest trucks. it’s insane because when this was related to female dancers belift didn’t waste a single second and removed them. but when it comes to their artists’ fucking HEALTHS they turn blind to everything.

enhypen’s treatment right now is so ridiculously inhumane. they’ve been on tour with consistent comebacks in between for the past two years. they’ve already had concerts in japan recently with fate & fate+ there’s genuinely NO NEED for them to have a ‘japan world tour’ after fate+. there’s no other explanation to this other than belift being money hungry.

to think that enha will be wrapped up in another tour with possible comeback schedule along with award show performances & practices is just so crazy. i can’t even imagine how cramped their schedule already is and it’s only about to become worse.

please for the love of everything if enhypen are coming anywhere near your vicinity with this tour (that will hopefully get cancelled) please don’t GO! please boycott. please let this be more reasons for you to boycott everything related to enhypen, belift and hybe.

please give enhypen a fucking break. trend this on twitter. post on twitter with the hashtags. reblog every tumblr post related to this. trend the hashtags everywhere. repost the posts asking for a break on twitter. please please please boycott i beg the boys don’t deserve this they genuinely don’t.

let enhypen rest PLEASE.

hello caratblr <3 (and also any hybe group-blr!)

i don’t usually say anything on here, but i wanted to share this for my fellow seventeen photocard collectors, as the 17 Right Here comeback is just around the corner. as you may know, there is an ongoing target HYBE BOYCOTT for their hand in working with z10nists. here are some of the key points:

(1) The one (and currently only) CEO of Hybe-America is Scooter Braun, a whole raging z10nist who continues to try to push his pro-1sr4el stance on his artists and following. (2) HYBE signed a 10 yr contract with Universal Music Group (UMG), whose CEO is Lucian Grainge. lucian grainge, his wife, and other people within the umg company and friend groups openly/proudly have been and continue to fund various pro-israel and z1ionist organizations --they are not for Palestine. umg is the main distributor for signed albums during hybe artist comebacks, at least in America.

it’s super critical for us fans to continue to boycott hybe and email/show hybe that we do NOT stand on the side of Zionism. thus, it is important to NOT buy any hybe signed albums, or any albums at all.

so if anyone is interested, here is an open group order for 17 Right Here album pc replicas (still open as of 4.21.24) so we aren’t giving HYBE money!!! here is the link to the go (on instagram): LINK

so far, the group order manager has updated that people have ordered just under $35k worth of replicas, which is honestly so insane!!! like WOW OKAY already putting a huge dent in HYBE’s wallet!!!!! remember that we can still support and show love to svt/our other fav hybe groups without buying albums/merch and giving money to hybe.

i’ve listed some other hybe/kpop boycott related resources below!

+ hybe boycott introduction info (ig post) + umg boycott intro info (ig post) + downloadable music files for various kpop artists so you don't stream! tumblr post | twt thread // how to: import into spotify (twt)

thank you for reading, sharing, and participating! if anyone knows any similar gos/information regarding other hybe groups, please do share! also please do let me know if anything is wrong; as edits are made to the post, the edit details will be under the cut.

it has been, is, and always will be FREE PALESTINE!!! FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!

EDITS:

(4.21.24) Edited: Scooter Braun is the CEO of Hybe-America, not the owner of UMG; Added: The owner of UMG is Lucian Grainge, who is also extremely pro-Israel. Two separate issues, but both relative to the boycott. (4.21.24) a/n: sorry for the confusion!

PSA: Why I Am Boycotting Kpop (& how)

So. I love kpop. Its been a big part of my life for a few years now. But I'm boycotting. Why?

Well to put it simply, its because of the 🍉Palestine genocide🍉 *A lot* of these k-entertainment companies are directly & indirectly supporting Zionism/Israel, including monetarily.

Like most, I think, I only found out about this whole thing in Oct '23, so its now that I'm choosing to boycott in hopes of helping.

This is NOT an "attack" on anyone. Not a certain group, not even a certain label.

I am boycotting *everyone* personally. Officially, the popular boycott is the big 3 & HYBE. However I know that another company, Kakao Ent is also a huge Zionist offender (also I just saw that they invest in a blockchain too...? So yeah, ew). So to make it easier for myself, I am boycotting all of kpop.

I also have no issue w/ the artists themselves. I do not do this out of any hate/fan wars. I am not assuming/accusing them of being Zionists. I know, they are celebs but they work for the company. They have to obey their bosses, so while I would like more of the artists to openly speak in support of Palestine, I am not holding it against them.

Its just that, any $ the artist makes, goes straight to the company. & I don't like what these companies are doing w/ my $.

(Btw, it rly is about the companies. So for ex HYBE America has the artist Ariana Grande. I am boycotting her too, its just that I've never been a huge fan. I rly, rly like kpop. So that is why I am focusing on it. Its meaningless to say u are boycotting something that you never bought/consumed in the 1st place)

And just to note; I don't want to hear anything about "keeping politics out of kpop". These companies are *not* disconnected from the issue. & saying that "I'm not Palestinian so its not my problem" is extremely cruel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you also want to stop/reduce streaming, here is how I'm doing it

I'm not saying that u have to completely stop interacting w/ ur fav artists. I'm not. I'm just trying to minimize my interactions w/ official content, like streaming, videos ect.

So the 1st thing; Get comfortable w/ sketchy looking websites & piracy!!!

Like I know, now that everything is readily available on (monetized) platforms, its hard to make the switch! Its hard to even know where to start. But there still are a lot of tools out there to do it.

Here are the basic things-

"yewtu . be"

*** (edit: the website shows .com, but the actual address is .in) "ilkpop . in"

(remove spaces, I'm not putting links bc that is how u get illict sites taken down, i think...)

Google drive

The app "Musicolet" (for mobile listening)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is this website "yewtu . be" that you can use to watch yt vids w/out adding to the views/ad revenue. I've only used it on desktop, so idk how well it works on mobile. Sorry. Btw, sometimes it can not work, but it has options to switch the source to one that works. I have not tried making an acc, so idk how secure that is, but just using it to watch things seems ok.

As for streaming/downloading mp3, there is another website "ilkpop . in" it has most official releases. U can stream right from the site, or download mp3.

When downloading (I did this all on desktop btw) I would recommend the extension "TabBlock", it prevents opening any new tabs. So u do have to toggle it on/off.

So I downloaded the songs as mp3 files from that website, uploaded them to my Google drive & then downloaded them to my phone from there. These files surprisingly don't take a lot of room, I have currently 471 songs that are only 1.63 GB

The app I'm using to listen on mobile is Musicolet. 1st time using it for about a month & I like it. Its free, it plays local downloaded files, so no need for internet & most importantly it will continue to play the songs while the screen is off. For free. W/ no ads. U can also still make playlists. It has more settings & customization stuff.

This is based on my personal experience, so I use desktop (windows) & android devices. This is all I know. Don't be too scared about the looks of the sites. I haven't gotten any viruses, but u might wanna make sure u have installed an antivirus. The one I use is Avast, the free version is ok. It does have a subscription & ads but its not too annoying.

[kabaneris]

so we now have confirmation hybe is actively silencing their artists from speaking up abt palestine and yall dont see how censorship like this in any capacity harms them? if after everything - hybes zionist ties, their abuse of their artists - this doesnt get you to boycott them idk what will

note: a lot of these have (south korea) next to the name, i don’t know if that means they only have a deal for that country because other artists like stray kids and lim youngwoong don’t have that specification

REPUBLIC (owned by umg) - itzy, nayeon, nmixx, stray kids, txt, tri.be, twice, vcha

SONY (owns columbia, wakeone, dreamcatcher company; distributes modhaus, chrome ent, kq ent, starship, top media, wakeone, wm ent) - riize, ive, ateez, bts, brown eyed girls, wjsn, crayon pop, dreamcatcher, everglow, exid, monsta x's i.m (astrisked, can't find why), kep1er, lim youngwoong, stayc, tfn/t1419, the rose, triples, wings, xikers, zerobaseone

ATLANTIC (owned by warner) - got7, iu, kep1er, loossemble, p1harmony, sf9

as always if any of this information is incorrect or outdated, please feel free to correct me in a reblog or an ask and i'll update the information in this post. i'll try to keep up with any new companies that are brought up on the twitter account mentioned at the beginning of this post. i'm not here to call for a boycott of every artist mentioned here because i don't feel i am in the position to do so, but i'm not discouraging you from choosing to do so. in fact i encourage you to listen to these artists unofficially at the very least.

i'm not sure the extent to which these companies get revenue from these artists, i don't know if it's just streams or if other things like merch sales and youtube views contribute but quite a few of these artists' companies are being boycotted currently or in the near future anyway, so i would suggest you not buy any merch or watch youtube videos officially from them. this post has more info on downloading music, youtube videos (with subtitles), and the boycotts i mentioned so i hope you all will check that out too. tris @bandzboy has also been posting about and sharing twitter posts about zionism in music, especially in the kpop industry so i suggest you check out her blog as well

[aloosefangirl]

I'm on twitter alot recently and I see the complete idiocy of antiboycotters. Honestly, just reducing this to "antiboycotters vs proboycotters" feels inadequate. You're either against genocide or with genocide. Anyways, I saw a tweet calling proboycotters "fake woke" and that they will support bts by subscribing to amazon prime and buying the HOTS album, followed immediately by a toddler from Gaza with blood all over his face.

I am convinced these people either don't see what's happening in Palestine or don't care because how can you see this and still go "I support the boys and the only way to do that is by participating in capitalism no other way if you're not giving HYBE money you're an anti and a multi"

HYBE Divest From Zionism (hybeboycottforhealing) on TikTok shared they are putting sticky notes behind albums from HYBE artists at Target! If you could share this video and spread it around it would help fans on TikTok know about it!

HOPE ON THE STREET ... track 3?

i know we're all super excited for hobi's new music but i want to raise awareness about just who are behind one of the songs

track 3 (lock/unlock) has producer credits from benny blanco, cashmere cat and omer fedi. these three support the occupation of Palestine and the ongoing genocide (see image below)

this should raise alarm bells for ARMY

but what can we do about it?

we need to use our voices to show hybe that we do not want people like this working with bts. people who agree with and promote the deaths of innocent people have no place in art

join us by spreading the images below and remind everyone not to listen to or support at least track 3 of hobi's new album. use the hashtags #HYBEDivestFromZionism #하이브는시오니스트를퇴출하라

for more information on the boycott and how it helps Palestinians please visit the link below

ARMY let's use our voices for good!
