You tell me there is still people defending Taeil?

No news, no anything and SM entertainment announces that they have kicked out Taeil. SM which puts idols on hiatus for forever till their scandal is forgotten. However, now they kick Taeil with no accusations.

That means that the crimes he did are actually very serious. Companies protect their idols. But with no accusations from others they kick out Taeil one random day.

There's no doubt that his scandal is true. People need to realize his true nature. The victim seeks for justice and there are still fans who support him.

!BRING JUSTICE TO THE VICTIMS!

I keep seeing major fanbases accounts of HyunA closing on twitter. Girl, you fucked up majorly. And so far no one is finding excuses for that because what excuse is there to be? All that for some dude, as if there aren't any other men, all immediately better simply for not being involved in the Burning Sun scandal.

SIGH

Fucking WayV and Lucas bro

IS BRO IN THE GROUP OR NOT- let's discuss ft. @ireneanon

So...

We've had idols be kicked out of groups from bullying, S/A, drug, dui scandals and such, do i believe this is probably bs made up from these women? 50/50.

I only say that because so many netizens have lied in the past to get those 15 seconds of fame and to yk obviously gain attention or the payment from the lawsuits and stuff IF they win.

However if we do have solid evidence (which I'll be digging into) that's a different story. People can easily edit (like bitch I'm scared) and make fake shit on some type of website or whatnot, the Photoshop is starting to be a new concern of mine..

MOVING ON THO- as much as I know about this situation and I'm neither SM or Lucas, I don't know how to feel about it or whether this is some type of bullshit.

Would you rather feel the need to make a situation like this private and work it out IN PRIVATE? Knowing netizens, that's not an option here so what are we working with

(photo doesn't belong to me, credits to the owner)

When I searched for the proof of these netizens' accusations, nothing really showed up, if someone finds something lmk cause I'm lost asf;

So, the girlies are mad, thinks SM is making him apologize- which- does happen, but I also think he could have apologized because he was scared of his rep and career, or wanted to get over it cause maybe it was bs.

There was no evidence of Lucas being in NCT's recent merch, his name, face, anything of Lucas' brand not found present whatsoever, which makes me like 70% sure that bro is not coming back or won't be back for a LONG time, talking the 'blackpink hiatus aesthetic' gone.

Like, yeah some members won't show up in recent merch in a hiatus, but very unlikely; they are still apart of said group. Plus if I'm not wrong this was from something like a season's greetings or some shit so album, understandable, but season's greetings? Yeah you're most likely gone.

Also speaking on the fact that fans haven't heard from him or haven't heard the words SM or NCT come out of his mouth since, I mean you could just be trying to stay low but bro is one of the most popular NCT members so I doubt anyone is gonna let him get a break. On top of that SM not even mentioning his name as much or at all anymore says a lot, so I'm saying that most likely he's going to be expelled or go on an indefinite hiatus.

So... Yeah I don't think he's going to be here anymore, if he is good for him, have fun with that but that's all I'm like processing right now. And if he does come back I will most likely be calling BS on the netizens' part if we see no evidence that he has committed these things, after all it says accusations.

Just, idk idk idk

being a oneus enjoyer that was going to become a tomoon, im glad i didnt do that yet

this whole ravn situation is sick and twisted. hopefully rbw entertainment will release a statement soon cuz rn the guy's in hot water 😬

like how does the leader of a group get accused of being ungrateful, spreading covid, making his fans feel like he was on a health hiatus when he was actually breaking company rules, and being a cheating manipulator who r*ped his ex girlfriend? eww.

im even sorry for the fans who counted on him and his own members. i hope ot5 oneus are okay rn (oneus with ravn is ot6)

i’m a mess

idol!niki x reader

pt 2 of making eye contact

wc: 192

warning: angst, mention of hate and hiatus, probably grammar errors

author’s note: thanks for all the support. i’ve just begun writing, so i’m pleased to hear y’all enjoy it. i’m unsure if i will continue this series as it was never intended to be one

you were a mess after the what niki had done. not that it was intentional, but you tried so hard not to get into any scandals. the slightest of eye contact or interaction can lead to hiatus and hate. you have found yourself in this same predicament yet again. buzz on some stupid, stupid eye contact. why not just remove your eyes at this point. netizens can never be pleased.

you have landed yourself in the dreadful meeting room. surrounded by your staff and boss. you could tell he was pissed. not at you because you nor niki have done anything wrong, but at the media for creating rumors and hate.

now what you didn’t except was for your boss to tell you as a pr stunt to play into the rumors. meaning, you and niki shall begin dating. you were taken back. you have been on a rollercoaster of emotions and now they suddenly lay this news on you. wasn’t the whole point of your hiatus to stop the rumors and unnecessary hate.

….

“now, it is time for you and niki to go on your first date” your boss stated.

Where do I even begin? I have yet to watch the full BBC exclusive report/documentary on the Burning Sun scandal -and I will make time for it soon, but I wanted to share some highlights because it's important to talk about. Here is link for those interested in tuning in.

⚠️TW for sexual violence (there are graphic details in the below posts I attached as well), assault, abuse, exploitation, mentions of miscarriage⚠️

I wanted to say, first and foremost that Goo Hara, the South Korean singer/artist of popular kpop group KARA, responsible for bringing forth evidence to help these journalists unveil these hideous and violent crimes against women -I hope you will always be remembered as a brilliantly talented and beautiful human being who was always courageous/brave -and who sought to expose the evil men involved in these sex crimes.

Goo Hara, who was a victim of blackmail -of revenge pornography by a previous partner back in 2019 and for those who aren't aware this shit excuse of a man who did this to her only served a year in prison. I hope people continue to remember her not just as an 'idol,' but as a fighter/someone who care deeply about those around her and for justice for all the women exploited, abused, and violated by the Korean celebrities involved in Burning Sun.

To those Korean idols, actors, and any man in a position of power and privilege involved in Burning Sun -which includes Seungri of prolific kpop group BIGBANG, Jung Joon Young (a popular actor/singer and radio host), and ALL those part of the Kakao group chat: former member of popular kpop group BEAST [now known as Highlight) Yong Jun Hyung [who is also dating Hyuna, disgustingly so], Lee Jong-hyun of CNBLUE (a well-known Korean rock band), Choi Jong-hoon of FT Island (another well-known Korean rock band), as well as popular Korean singers Roy Kim and Eddy Kim. I hope ya'll rot.

I sincerely hope real systemic changes are made and the people involved in heinous violent sexual violence crimes are held accountable. My solidarity is ALWAYS with victims/survivors of violence.

I also wanted to take a moment to also remind folks who love kpop to always be critical of/not disillusioned by the idols you love. Anyone can be violently misogynistic, racist, ableist, a rapist or rape apologist. And yes, I know there are exceptions -I have seen a handful of artists I believe are genuine, but even then I just don't know because we don't know them personally.

I think it's important not to forget that there are RAMPANT systemic injustices that many women in South Korea face (for instance, harsher sentences are given to people who are caught smoking weed compared to men accused of rape) and that the Burning Sun scandal is one of many that the public may or may not know about because of how insidious the kpop industry is, just like any music industry in the world.

whoever is managing RIIZE is kind of stupid? like I can't even type how annoyed I am because although I am annoyed I feel like I need to talk about how stupid their management is. I don't know what statistics they're looking at or what is driving their decisions at the moment but it's all fucked. how the fuck you gonna re-record siren and take out his parts...if we thought the people sending Seunghan threats and hate were being extra, I bring you SM. no one is more theatrical than SM. they are treating this whole thing like it's some insanely controversial issue. like Seunghan got into a dui incident. as if he beat up a staff member or something idk like this is really not that serious. all he did was date someone? on top of that it's not like there was news about him being a shitty boyfriend or anything, either. like I'm so confused by their response? they're annoying as shit atp like what the fuck are you doing

On August 28, SM Entertainment announced that Taeil had been removed from NCT for unspecified sexual offenses. On social media, Internet users noted that SM Entertainment immediately removed Taeil from the team instead of ordering him to take a longer break. SM Entertainment shared the news and statement before the Korean media reported it, which caused even more shock and led to speculation about the seriousness of the investigation.

Wait. For context, who is Zico and what did he do?

hello ml!! zico is a famous producer and rapper. he debuted in 2011 as the leader of “block b” and eventually grew as a solo artist around 2014-15 but block b disbanded around 2018. he was also a judge on i-land and basically formed the groups “boynextdoor” and “enhypen”. you might've heard some of his solo songs because they're catchy, unfortunately. he has a song with jennie (blackpink) called “spot!”, another one called “okey dokey” with mino (winner, mobb). aside from him embarrassing seolhyun (AOA) (his ex-girlfriend; they were caught dating by dispatch and he denied it all to save his reputation which led to embarrassing her), his blatan racism (wearing a confederate flag jacket, said the n-word in his 2010 track “if i ain't got jjanggae”, said one of his talents is “talking like a black person”) and homophobia (saying the f slur), zico appeared on a show around 2016 with JJY aka jung joonyoung, the ringleader of the burning sun scandal. to make a long story short, zico and jjy were very good friends (he was good friends with a lot of the cunts involved in that scandal). to make a long story even shorter, he said he had seen/was looking at jjy's “golden phone” which is what jjy ultimately had been using to distribute videos and photos of women being drugged and raped. zico denies seeing any of the footage, which i and anybody with 2 brain cells find hard to believe because they were close, and the phone was deemed golden for a reason. jjy literally confirmed that zico scrolled through the phone hours and hours on end, just to say he didn't see any of what was happening. i loved block b back in 2015 and listened to them with my dad, and some of zico's songs stood out to me but it's very important to not trust idols, especially the male ones, just because they portray themselves a certain way. zico has always been known for lying to save his own ass no matter who pays the price for it, just like the situation with his ex i previously mentioned. as you may know, goo hara, (KARA) may her beautiful soul rest in peace, had her house broken into not too long ago. she played a vital part in helping a journalist uncover the horrors of the burning sun scandal. not too long after, she ended her life. she died a hero and the entirety of korea failed her miserably. her house was broken into just a while back and, what do you know? zico is the prime suspect

They were dragging the girl through the mud and spreading hateful & rude comments about how she was so desperate for attention and the spotlight that she had to wear ‘different’ & ‘prettier’ skirt than the other members. It was so annoying for Eden, as all she wanted to do was speak out and deny the rumors and explain what had actually happened, but she couldn’t. She was an idol. It would ruin her ‘idol image’ the staff said. With weeks of receiving hate, it eventually died down when one of her stylists decided to speak up about the situation and explained why she wear a different skirt than the other members.

Though, things took a turn when “Kick it” by BLACKPINK started playing and she skipped the song, causing fans to believe the girl didn’t like the group and was an anti of them.

Although, Eden was a fan of BlackPink. She had all of their albums and merch, so seeing everyone claiming that she didn’t BlackPink and was an anti. When they were one of her favorite groups didn’t sit well with her especially when she is friends with the girls of BlackPink and the only reason she skipped the song was because she playing TWICE’s songs and BlackPink didn’t fit her vibe & theme.

Eden put the rumors to rest when she went live again on April 4, 2020 and this time she was in her shared room and showed her collection of BLACKPINK’s album and the countless amount of merch she has of them.
