I think a lot of people are misunderstanding where the disappointment about the project lineup is coming from.

Of course BOC is a new and small company and can only take on a few projects at once. I’m not disappointed with the number of projects announced for 2023.

I’m disappointed that (with the exception of Tong and Bas, whose involvement in the MileApo movie had been revealed months ago), none of the non-‘main’ KinnPorsche cast members have any confirmed acting projects lined up for 2023. Half of BOC’s actors did not have roles announced in any of the upcoming projects.

But despite this, BOC is taking on more actors, and is having these new actors compete for the opportunity to play the main roles in a new series - an opportunity they’re refusing to give to most of the actors already working with them.

With the lack of announcement of any supporting cast for the BBB or JBC series and an unknown number of additional actors coming in - it’s just really disappointing and frustrating to see BOC sideline half of its existing talent.

Jan 18th is gonna be a good day

[dreamedofyou]

if I gathered correctly they're going to finish off the world tour with these two Bangkom dates, right?

sorry, but I feel lied to. If you were only gonna do Asia just call it an Asian Tour and especially don't mention places like Latin America and Italy (no, not even as a maybe) on talk shows when they ask you about possible tour locations

yeah I'm pissed off

going to just stare at jeff’s ethereal face so i don’t completely lose the will to live

IS THIS THE BIBLEBUILD SERIES????? THE SHORTEST TRAILER EVER RRRR OH MY GOD

[yujeong]

I didn't have a Tumblr account when the scandal started. I actually created one around the end of May 2023, a little before Build had his comeback concert. However, I had a Twitter account, which means I saw everything: I saw Build crying at the sponsored event he had with Bible, I saw the confusing translations, I saw the official announcements, I saw all the hate and vitriol, I saw Poi's unhinged behavior, I saw it all. Those were some of the worst months of my life. Build's story felt personal. Not only because Pete became so important to me, not only because KinnPorsche the Series became a second home, but also because his story was similar to what I'd been through. I was experiencing my previous relationship that finished a mere few months before the scandal started all over again, and it fucking hurt. It hurt seeing him get so much hate. It hurt seeing people celebrate him leaving BOC. It hurt seeing him at the verge of tears outside the court house and it hurt not knowing if he was ever going to come back to acting or to the public eye at all. It still hurts. It's something that is never going to stop hurting. To me, this story has been over since last year. I knew he was innocent already, I didn't need the court decision to tell me that. But what happened today reminded me of something I'd always known but temporarily forgot: it was never over for Build. It will never be truly over for him. Today was a much needed victory, one he deserved a long time ago, but the scars this whole thing has left on him will remain there. And that's also something that hurts me and will never stop hurting me. I'm glad, too, Build. I'm glad you're still here and that you have your fans to support you. And since I'll probably never be able to tell you this up close, Thank you for giving me Pete. Thank you for everything.

👎🏻 my rant of the month goes to the delulu ON stans and their fucked up actions like how messed up do you have to be fr. no idea where these peoples' common sense went but I hope this doesn't affect Kidnap in the long run. I'm excited for the show and I hope they can overlook the bullshit. I'm sure Ohm is used to it by now anyway but leave Leng alone ffs. big sigh.

finally made a bingo card of my own for tomorrow 💕 guess which ones i'm rooting for 👀👀

[nattaphum]

Apo: you’ll get to see the movie this August 2023

Q: The project is really big like you said. A gathering of exceptional people.

Mile: Let's just say we selected the ingredients that we think are the best, most suitable. Some people might think they don't know some of the actors, but in the team we know they are suitable for the role and can portray their character in the best way

Q: what did apo get mile for his birthday?

Apo: i gave him my fullest passion in working because we dont have that much time to go out and enjoy life, we mostly meet every day and work together every day because we’ve so many projects coming. After this interview pmile’s going to fly to Paris for Dior

Mile: and then fly again to another country for some works

Apo: we keep it as a secret for now but it’s something related to boc

Mile: This is a big project that we have announced today, but there will be sub-projects along the way. There are a many of other events

Apo: If i did’t have an event in Thailand, i could’ve gone to Paris with P'Mile, but that day I have en event at Siam Paragon with P'Aum

bible for the boc 2023 projects announcement

[captainbritt-aus]

Maybe it's the kpop stan in me but I go into announcements without any expectations because I've been burned enough times to learn. So while the BOC lineup wasn't as stacked as some hoped, I didn't really feel too upset. Just shrugged it off and moved on and anticipating what was to come. But it seems many people (mainly on the bird app and the clock app) don't have critical thinking skills or common sense.

We tend to forget that BOC is a tiny company and Kinnporsche was it's only show up to this point. So this company mainly runs on hopes and dreams at this point because they do not have money. Kinnporsche was a huge undertaking and then there was the tour. 2023 will be first time BOC has multiple shows to juggle. So for a company that went from one show to 3 shows and a movie, that's a huge leap.

So is it disappointing that there aren't more projects?? Sure, we would love to see the rest of the kinnporsche cast in lead roles. But having every single cast member in a lead role is 1. Not realistic (even huge companies don't put everyone on their roster as a lead) and 2. It wouldn't be feasible.

So 2023 seems like a transition year for the company. They got series with other side couples from kinnporsche because these couples have built in fans and they can guarantee an audience of some sort. They can't stretch themselves anymore thin than they already are. Hopefully, the projects from this year will prove successful enough to allow for more projects or bigger projects in the future.

Everyone is entitled to feeling disappointed but let's not start false narratives like the company hates actors or whatever I see on Twitter and tiktok.

disappointed, but not surprised
