2019 was a big year for Angelico Entertainment. Alongside debuting their biggest female act yet, VENUS, just a year prior, they also struck gold with their first ever in-house boy group: LoveOutLoud, abbreviated to L.O.L for branding purposes. Starting off as a ten-member lineup, L.O.L became an almost instant KPOP darling, still being girl group stans token boy group to stan.

Despite their bright and youthful branding, the inner workings of L.O.L are quite dark as their mistreatment goes back to their pre-debut days. It's rare for there to be an L.O.L comeback without a member sick or injured, as their promotional schedules are grueling and stacked. The members, despite being well into their careers at this point, haven't had a break in nearly four years.

The notorious Angelico CEO, Son Jinhwa, would say there's no time for breaks. Their momentum is still building; if they take a break, they'll be forgotten.

The boys took those words to heart, publicly denouncing the need for breaks between releases and saying they enjoy promoting as much as they do.

Well, almost all of them did.

By the end of 2021, they dropped to seven members, with three of the members leaving on what seemed like a bimonthly basis. First started with Siho leaving in March, citing creative differences and mistreatment but he would not leave Angelico. Instead, he would stay and produce under the label until his contract ran up. Fans speculate the final nail in the coffin for Siho was when other L.O.L member Jesse was given the spot as producer despite Siho being promised the role. Once Siho's contract with Angelico was up, he would become a producer and music video director.

Next to leave was Yadam in August, citing physical exhaustion and contractual disagreements as his reasons. Yadam was a beloved and well-known member of the group for his vocals and visuals, originally holding the spot as the official visual. He would go on to sue Angelico Entertainment for mistreatment, claiming that they did not allow him proper vocal rest, permanently damaging his vocal cords. Though the case made it far, the two parties settled out of court. He would go on to debut as a soloist and actor in 2023 after a much-needed break.

The last member to officially leave L.O.L would be Asher in December of that same year, claiming mental health struggles as his reason for leaving. Asher was one of the more popular members internationally for his bright and out-there personality, which seemed to dim as the years went on. He would return to America the same year and become a thriving social media influencer and actor in the States, having a following of 1.7 million on YouTube, 7.1 million on TikTok, and 5.2 million on Instagram.

Currently, Akio, the seventh member, is on a hiatus because of an ankle injury he obtained in 2023. He has not been an active member with the group for nearly a year now, leaving many fans to worry he will be the next one to drop from the lineup.

The group sits pretty and happy on top of the boy group brand rankings, being some of the most recognizable and beloved faces in the KPOP industry at the moment, but are they really as bright and happy as they seem?

https://ift.tt/mMcXe3P Love and kindness are the roots of a community that sees and celebrates each of us for who we truly are. In a world that sometimes misunderstands, let us be the kindness that heals, the love that empowers, and the light that welcomes. #carrolltonrainbow #loveoutloud #cowtownpride Uploaded by Carrollton Rainbow Inc.

We say health is wealth but how many of us value and prioritize it? Exerting ourselves day & night, we take our health for granted. Although we do take rest when we are unwell, but the moment we lie on our beds we start feeling shivers of guilt for avoiding work! Hence, the cycle continues. After Covid struck, being scared to death, we managed to think back on our lifestyle. Getting a shocker in terms of physical health we stumbled back on our feet but in terms of mental health we always fail to address it. So, let's talk about a health problem that is most talked about & least prioritized: Mental Health. It was debated whether it falls under 'Health' & what must fall within or beyond it for decades. In most communities across India, it is still considered that those who seek help from mental health professionals are, as the name suggests, 'MENTAL.' This limits many from seeking help, the consequence being death in some. The highest cases of undetected anxiety, depression, and all other forms of mental disorders exist among teenagers. While the conditions can range from childhood trauma to hormonal disorders, and the symptoms can range from nervous breakdowns to seemingly asymptomatic, the implication can be a person leading a miserable life, and in severe cases, suicide. Outgrowing these challenges takes years, or decades, even with the help of the professionals, there are a few things we all can try. Meditation helps the brain calm down and detangle thoughts of daily life. Whenever you feel down, talk to people who love and understand you. Take some time to self-reflect too. Everyone has a story. People are the way they are due to their past experiences. Forgive, and look beyond mistakes. Most importantly, don't hesitate to seek help from health professionals. To have a healthy lifestyle, mental well-being is essential. To achieve that, emotional band-aids must be applied and wounds redressed until they heal.

For the last few months I’ve been working on a music video for a folk musician called SONiA @disappearfear , and I am happy to be able to share it now. It’s a trailer for SONiA’s new retrospective album, #LoveOutLoud , celebrating 30 years of her career.  From our conversations and listening to her musics, I learnt that SONiA was the first openly gay folk pop musician, in both her music and her lifestyle, (as opposed to artists who came out later on in their careers).  She has been a great advocate for LGBT+ rights and fair treatment of marginalised people. SONiA’s lyrics and songs are quite illustrative and are often drawn from her life experiences of being Jewish and owning and embracing her identity of being gay despite living in a society that doesn’t always approve. Check out the LINK in my BIO to see the finished music video, and a ‘making of’ video as well. #musicvideo #animation #animated #animatedmusicvideo #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqpride #folkpop #folkmusician #soniadisappearfear #disappearfear #rainbowflag #queermusician #marriageequality #rocket1111child https://www.instagram.com/p/CA4ZojXjES4/?igshid=4wxm2w6a3be9

This will probably make me as popular as the IMPLIED KISSING guy. (I’ll just preface it by saying NO DISRESPECT is intended.) I’m having a hell of a time understanding why, on one hand, everyone is a champion of loving the wine, not the label, yet-on the other, it seems that more and more labels are being added by the community that-I thought-was adamant about getting rid of them. The fact that David and Patrick are allowed to live and love as they choose without having to be judged or put in the center like show ponies.....seems like it goes hand in hand with having no labels. A while back I read some rather angry comments regarding straight people saying that Schitt’s Creek wasn’t just for the LGBTQ’s. I don’t know the intention behind that statement, but I do think it would be rather short sided to dismiss the all to real possibility this show was sent ripples in every possible direction. The relationship between Patrick and David has succeeded, at least in my eyes, in blurring gender. When I watch them, I don’t see two men deeply in love and taking care of each other. I don’t see two guys having an absolutely intoxicating sex life. It’s not two men I see holding hands and looking into each other’s eye as though a lifetime together would still not be long enough. What I see is an enviable relationship. One that I’d give anything to be in. And, who wouldn’t? Dan Levy spoke about his vision of a world that loved out loud. That sentiment paired with his wine analogy would say it all, I think. Loving without labels really is loving out loud. Just my two cents.
