#hybe was just stupid enough to get it leaked

[riotinyellow]

Are people actually so stupid they think only hybe keeps logs on other artists ?

Hi Shaz! I've read the 🔐 anon ask and damnnn the tea, in the answer I also see that you say that this person (probably) tell you something that is not ok to share and I was DAMN the tea with jikookers is always private 🤧 but it's ok in fact I wanted to say that I really appreciate that you and 🔐 don't share WHEN and WHERE and other infos

Shaz do u usually know a lot of stuff that u don't talk about?

Me? Of course not. I am Jon snow. Idk shit

😂😂😂😂

Not but seriously I'm an Army that lives in the UK what I'm I going to know?

But yeah let's not treat eo like idiots and pretend that people aren't sitting on gold in this fandom. First we got Kjikookers who have seen more than enough to never be insecure whenever Kookmin are MIA. To never be threatened by the vermin, ever. And to not care what V chooses to do or say when it comes to JK. Dk if y'all ever noticed but when V used to make Jikookers mad by name dropping JK it was never Kjikookers who cared. It was always I-Jikookers. And I think this is a big reason why.

Imagine... hypothetically speaking, of course... Hypothetically coz I have no way of knowing if this has ever happened and honestly don't think they could ever be this careless. But, imagine if you're an Army (so you know who BTS are) and are walking home at like 11:00pm at night then u see JK sitting on his motorcycle, waiting. Then Jimin walks up with a helmet in his hand and right before he puts in on, they say something to each other and exchange a quick peck right before they both put on their helmets and ride off.

Imagine if you witnessed something like that. You would watch tkkrs and laugh your ass off. You would see solos talking smack about Jikook and shake your head so hard going "if only they knew" That's how Kjikookers live. Aaaaah. How to be them.

Then of course we have Spanish Jikookers who always seem to know shit and lastly we have I-Jikookers who know that one Hybe cleaner's, sister's, grandma's, cousin's, uncle's dog.

So we know these people exist. And they look at asks getting sent to blogs like mine and they laugh their asses off wondering for how long people plan on being stupid. That sounds like such an amazing position to be in.... ngl. 😆

Of course there is always gonna be dumb asses who allow antis to get to them and so they leak something. Like the holding hands under the heart pic or the white day photo, trying to prove that Jikook is real. I get the moment of weakness n frustration that made u forget that you were putting Jikook at risk. But here's my thing;

If V and Jennie walking hand in hand in Paris didn't make people jump the Taekook ship, then nothing u show antis will ever fucking work. So take that kiss and take whatever sensitive info you may have and hold it close to your chest until the day Jikook come out. If they ever do. Until then, it is of no use to nobody.

Sure, I would love to know about it, I'm sure we all would, but this only breeds more stalkers who start sending JK food at his address and break into Jimin's house to try and prove they have something to hide. So whatever u got, keep that shit to yourself or strictly in that trust circle u got going on... but never post it for public consumption.

It ain't worth it.

Meanwhile, people like me are just gonna have to be happy with rosebowl and satellite Jeon because.... what else is there to do, right?

well to be fair we've been saying for months that whoever is posting all of seunghan's business must HATE riize so maybe it is mhj 🤷‍♀️ ngl a lot of stuff i've read is definitely fans making shit up (i'm sorry but the lsf hate train was not started by mhj, it was bcs of their vocals) but there are a lot of other ones that have potential to be true. it's a fact that she has been leaking private info about artists, trainees and employees and think of the amount of hybe idol scandals that have come out in the past year. hybe was able to sweep things under the rug for years by paying off dispatch but in the past year specifically there have been so many all of a sudden, so i actually do believe some of it. and honestly i don't think it's impossible that she had something to do with seunghan's scandal. maybe it's not super likely but it's also not super impossible, ykwim?

and yeah idk what she means when it comes to *** either. i'm looking back at her work for shinee and exo at the time and i just don't see it. if bh did take "copy" anyone for ***'s concept, it's bigbang. so many bgs were directly inspired by bigbang in the early 2010s: bap, blockb, *** (all beginning with b for some reason) and mhj had nothing to do with bb or yg so wtf is she talking about????

this isn't going to be the downfall of hybe at all but it could have a big impact on nj bcs a fifty fifty situation could occur. ofc investors want nj as they're insanely popular but rn it seems like nj want to stick with mhj over hybe so that's where the problems would arise. mhj has been sharing trade secrets (majorly illegal btw!!!) and i doubt investors would want to work with her after that

i mean the seunghan stuff looks like it was leaked by someone who knew him irl so i kinda doubt it had something to do with mhj, and anw this kind of accusations feel a bit too slippery slope to me ? we have what we have and it’s already bad enough and it’s pretty much confirmed, i think we should just stick to this

YESSS i was also trying to think of what exo were doing at the time and i simply don’t see any stark resemblance ? but *** were definitely inspired by bb back in the day (and i never saw yg crying and whining about that lol)

and yes this could have negative consequences for nj, especially if they decide to choose the stupid option and follow mhj out of hybe. if they stay, they may experience set backs with copyright and stuff, but they’ll get a new creative director who can follow mhj’s path and get things back on track. if they leave, i think mhj will still be able to find investors despite her own reputation if she attaches her name to nj bcs who wouldn’t want to bet money on nj ? but even if she does get investors, i don’t think it’ll be quick to get things organized for a new company, get all the copyright approvals (i think nj would have to change group name), get prepared for new music ….. i think it will take a while for nj to cb, which might be negative for them and their momentum

FROM THE MOMENT YOU WAKE UP, you know it’s going to be a good day. 

Your eyes open the instant before your alarm rings, leaving you just enough time to reach over and click off your phone when the screen lights up, so you don’t have to hear the blaring sound. After you do, you somehow also feel well-rested after your few hours of sleep. Once you sit up and pull your arms above your head to stretch, your neck isn’t stiff, and your shoulders feel relaxed and flexible. When you pad into your living room to watch the morning news, you actually see the little logo on the loading display of your television bounce perfectly off of the corner of the screen. 

Good omen, followed by good omen, followed by good omen. 

And so, even though you have what could be considered a career-defining (and possibly career-ending) meeting scheduled for precisely 10:30 AM with your boss’ boss’ boss’ boss, one of the most frightening women you’ve ever met, you feel hopeful. Excited, even.

The prior evening, Kang Seulgi, or Time Slip, as she was more commonly known, had sent arguably the most anxiety-inducing email you’d ever received. In no more than two hundred characters, she’d told you that you’d be meeting with her personally to discuss your future activity with the company. 

In all honesty, you weren’t sure if that entailed a promotion, or if that was your hint to start looking into a new line of work, but nonetheless, you sent your reply agreeing within five minutes (because one does not waste the Time Slip’s time). 

Maybe your morning would’ve gone differently had you waited for your alarm. Maybe if your shoulders had been stiff, you’d have spent an extra five minutes stretching. Maybe if you hadn’t seen the stupid DVD logo hit the stupid corner of your stupid television, you would’ve actually watched the news broadcast and seen warnings of a small-scale villain tormenting an intersection two blocks from your apartment building.

But, the universe had aligned perfectly, so you leave your house at 9:45 and make it to the aforementioned intersection at 9:50 on the dot.

KIM SUNOO DOESN’T ENJOY WAKING UP, these days. 

In his first days at the resistance’ building (a room no larger than the average hotel room with a long table placed in the center that they’d all crowded around, desperately drawing up plans for their next big heist and their grand scheme of taking down HYBE), he’d always been excited to go into work. Waking up in the morning felt like reaching just a little further toward this innate, inexplicable light at the end of the tunnel. Now, although they have actual office chairs and conference rooms and enough funding to never have to worry about black mold or leaks in the ceiling ever again, something is missing. 

Now, at the ripe age of 23, his young-adult body is worn from what feels like centuries’ worth of pressure, like the spite that had previously served as his engine has dwindled and left him stranded in the middle of the highway without gasoline. 

He feels he is a product not of growth, but of drastic, haphazard changes crammed together into one form, like those really shitty fruit salads. The line tracing from the person he was seven years ago to who he is now is a squiggle at best. 

Simply put, years of villain work have left him disillusioned.

This is why, although he has a meeting at 10 AM to discuss the future of the resistance and the downfall of HYBE, by 9:47, Sunoo is still sitting at his kitchen counter nursing an iced coffee with copious amounts of cream and sugar. He lifts the glass to his lips, feels the rim, chilled by the ice floating near the surface, then takes a sip. His concoction is sweet on his tongue, almost unbearably so, but the undeniable bitterness of the coffee remains underlying. 

And then Sunoo nearly spills the drink down the front of his shirt. What is he doing?

Almost as though the frankly concerning flavor of his morning coffee has shocked him into regaining his senses, he jolts upright, shoulders stiff. The glass is slammed onto the table (not with too much force, though; working for a nonprofit evil organization doesn’t pay nearly enough for him to buy a new set of dining ware).

In the two seconds it takes Kim Sunoo to stand from the barstool, he decides that yes, he is disillusioned with villainhood, but not enough to throw away everything he’s built over the past half-decade in favor of finishing his shitty cup of iced coffee. He needs to attend this meeting, if not for his present self, then for the person he once was.

In sum: Sunoo feels hope—for the first time in a while—and a newfound sense of determination. The feeling reaches up and grabs him by the collar, dragging him to his coat rack, then his shoes, then out the door towards his future.

JUNG WOOYOUNG JUST WANTS TO BE SEEN. 

That morning, he’d been 18, starry-eyed, fresh out of high school, and waiting at the doors of HYBE, because despite what everyone around him insisted, he knew that you didn’t need to graduate from a hero school to be someone great. All you had to do was want to help people. 

Unfortunately, his interviewer hadn’t felt the same way. She’d asked him two, maybe three questions (one of which had been whether he was the delivery driver with their coffee order), then sent him back into the lonely streets of Seoul. No job, no internship, not even a business card. 

What do you do when everything you’ve been working toward your entire life crumbles down around you? He truly isn’t sure.

The last thing Wooyoung wants is to go home. There, his mother and father will be waiting with him, arms crossed and condescending smiles shrouded in sympathy painted across their faces. His father will say, “You can’t win them all,” or, “Hey, it was a long shot anyway,” and Wooyoung will bite back tears as his fingernails dig crescents into his palms.

His mother will offer to make him some galbi-jjim, and he’ll agree, and every single bite will taste like pity. 

To delay this inevitable fate for as long as possible, Wooyoung decides to stop at the convenience store and drown his sorrows in a peach-passion-sunshine-candy-grapefruit-ade. And it works for all of five minutes, but then the cashier opens his stupid mouth, and everything goes to shit.

Man, I remember how excited I was at the idea that BTS would be taking a break after the Festa dinner only for it to be the exact opposite. I really thought the guys would get some much needed down time to relax some more and let each member get their focus while the others worked on their stuff.

How stupid. They’re working even harder than they were before, just not on anything that made people fans in the first place. Every day I get on Twitter and someone has shared yet another commercial BTS has filmed over the course of the last few months and I know some of it was filmed more recently because of their hair. All while there’s a never ending stockpile of content constantly being released from well over a year ago now because Hoseok is still platinum fucking blonde in that content.

They film so much stuff it’s insane to me. Game app collabs, 3 this year, commercials for SO many brands, so fucking many, they promo-ed the webtoon this year, filmed for Sowoozoo, Festa, Memories, Season’s Greetings, Youtube, Weverse general content, Weverse membership content, Japanese fanclub content, merch (Dalmajung, Busan, etc.), and just so many other things I can’t even list them all out.

Like no wonder Joon’s been so emotional lately, that’s the burn out baby. Also the stress of their government/media fucking them over and over and over again between enlistment delay, negative media coverage about Festa, and the Busan EXPO bid and how badly that was going in the beginning with even more negative coverage. 

Like I can’t even imagine how stressed they all are at this point. And no matter the outcome on military service it’s not like they get a break either way. If they have to enlist then that’s no vacation, they don’t get down time...and they get even less if they get exempt ‘cause you just know it’ll be about more filming, a world tour, just go go go, gotta continue to ride this popularity for as long as possible because eventually some of this will die down and mellow out. Which means less money, so make it all while you can. And it’s gotta be tough for them given the company does rely so heavily on them and their image, BigHit IS BTS, and none of HYBE’s other groups can compete with BTS yet, not enough to loosen the focus on them.

Also there’s just been a lot of overhaul in the company that’s been happening subtly like Supreme Boi removing HYBE from his IG bio, Son their dance director also not working with them on dance choreo anymore (also removing info from his bio), seems like there’s some changes happening inside the company too that effects the group.

So whatever it is Namjoon/they wanna tell us, I’m definitely tuned in to know what it is ‘cause the more things leak out it seems like maybe more than JUST enlistment news. Edit: It was just enlistment news LOL
