#link8 entertainment

[shinwhoohoo]

Just wondering what happen to Jinyoung and Gongchan friendship 😭 They were super close beforee 😭😭😭

What happened is Jinyoung was likely secretive in how he went about leaving WM and starting LINK8 Entertainment which you can do a deep dive reading all the links from this ask where I summarized it, and Gongchan is not the type of person to let that kinda shit slide easily lmao.

B1A4 (비원에이포) is a five member boy group with CNU, Sandeul, and Gongchan under WM Entertainment, Jinyoung under LINK8 Entertainment, and Baro under HODU&U Entertainment. The music video portrays the members as five different types of people all having a boring day. The teasers leading up to the release acted as chapters for the actual music video.

What I think of Jinyoung

[Semi-Long Post] This is my personal opinion, assumptions, and speculations about the current situation with Jinyoung. Remember that these are just my opinions which can be different from yours, so if you have any comments, please feel free to discuss.

Jinyoung deciding to open Link8

I’ve seen a handful of BANAs being angry and hurt at Jinyoung and his actions, thinking that he’s selfish. I, personally, don’t think Jinyoung is selfish (well, partially, which are some points I’ll cover). Jinyoung’s a person who has a strong will of motivation and ambition. We have to think about Jinyoung when he first became a trainee until now. Was it really his dream to be a singer and promote in an idol group? Being in an idol group and having crazy schedules is tiring. I cannot imagine the pain of what an idol has to endure, waking everyday and giving your best to the world and eventually asking yourself if this is the right path? Jinyoung admitted that when he was younger, he knew that he wanted to create and make things, which is why he stuck with composing and making songs for the B1A4. Maybe being in B1A4 wasn’t what he thought it was supposed to be. That was when he started questioning if he wants to continue to be in the group. WM probably didn’t do well to promote Jinyoung like how he wanted, so he wanted to become his own boss. And I saw this happening right after “Who am I” Era and coming to “Sweet Girl” Era.

I have worked hard and long enough to understand that dreams (ambition, dream careers, and hope) can die as you work too long or too hard. Sometimes, we get no results, and it becomes hopeless and worthless, which is why I admire people like Jinyoung or others who still has a sense of hope in their dreams. Jinyoung opening Link8 is a part of new dream he has. And it’s ok to have new dreams and desires and leave your old ones when you realize it doesn’t work out. Unfortunately, B1A4 is probably the old dream he had but gave up on it.

About Jinyoung posting on Social Media

With Jinyoung and Link8 actively posting, Jinyoung releasing his own song, and creating a season greeting, these are just ways to promote himself and the company. I don’t think it has to do with competing with B1A4. This really reminds me when I first got into Kpop with H.O.T, and they disbanded shortly. Many people were saying that Kangta, Heejun, and SM tried to release albums in order to compete with JTL who became a big hit with their song “A Better Day.” Even then, I was young and naïve, and of course, even though I did support Kangta and Heejun, I was really biased and sided with JTL because I was really hurt of why the two members didn’t leave SM. On this note, I am not trying to say that you guys are young and naïve, but it’s easy to say that it’s competition because of the separation. When separation happens, we can’t help but have these ideas of competition and feud between the members (especially when CNU took it really hard). If Jinyoung release songs at the same time as B1A4 in the future, yes, in the world of the industry, they are competing, but I don’t think it is his or Link8’s intentions.

Also, many BANAs were upset of why Jinyoung decided to post a photo of him and Beullie on the day of CNU leaving. I think Jinyoung just wanted to simply update about his day, not to take away the attention from CNU. CNU already has his attention when he was trending the entire day (and I was so happy for him ;;_;;). What Jinyoung posted online will never take away the attention from CNU or any other B1A4 members. He is just living his life day to day and trying to update his fans who are still following him on his activities. Jinyoung is petty, but I don’t think he’s that wicked and capable to do that. It seems easy to believe that Jinyoung will take away that spotlight from CNU and B1A4 because he went on his own. I think Jinyoung still has respect for CNU regardless of the status of what has been going on. About Jinyoung not showing up to see CNU leave, like most BANAs and I assumed, why would Jinyoung bother to show up if there is a disconnection? It’s not easy to come and see him off because Jinyoung probably is sorry to create such pain and sadness among the members and to BANAs. Jinyoung might feels that it’s not his place to come nor he doesn’t have the face to come back after leaving WM. He is probably ashamed and truly feels responsible for everything. There is a lot of weight and pressure on Jinyoung’s shoulder that we all do not know of. What if CNU doesn’t want to see Jinyoung? What if Jinyoung is embarrassed to show up in front of A3? What if they know it’s not going to be the same anymore? These thoughts, assumptions, and questions we all have is between them.

Conclusion

I am not supporting everything Jinyoung does nor I am against him because I am a little disappointed when Jinyoung keeps saying that he doesn’t believe the 7 years jinx and say that B1A4 will continue. That—yes—I’m a little upset because it gives BANAs false hope, but again (I am playing devil’s advocate with myself), what can Jinyoung or the rest of the members say to make everything sound ok when they know it’s not. They don’t want to upset BANAs. Regardless if it’s a “we’ll continue” knowing that B1A4 is coming to an end or release an article by the time of their contract ending that Bayoung’s leaving WM, at the end, someone will get hurt. All of us are hurt. A3, Bayoung, and BANAs. B1A4 separating and going their own ways hit all of us at a different angle.

Is Jinyoung selfish? Yes and no. It’s an obvious “yes” if you’re thinking of him going on his own, opening a new company, and “giving up” on B1A4, but it is a “no” as well. Why? Eventually, when you are pursing or in the process of pursuing a dream (not just a wish of “wanting to go for your dreams” but to really do it with your entire soul), there will be a time when you really want to strive for your dreams. There will be precious things—like the people we love, our time and commitment—we have to sacrifice, and the most precious thing Jinyoung gave up was B1A4. Making this decision probably wasn’t easy for him. I am sure there were many things going on his mind. Just because Jinyoung doesn’t show his emotions, we think he is happy being his own boss and doing what he wants. But he’s probably dying inside, crying by himself, and constantly beating himself up. Opening a whole new company isn’t easy. Thinking about all your fans, will they still be there to cheer you on even after the decisions you made? Did he made the right decision? All the efforts he is trying to self-promote and work his way to be where he’s at or go even higher is something he has to do in order to succeed. These are probably in Jinyoung’ s mind every day. He has always been a person who is strong, never showed his weakness and emotions, and always stayed positive. Jinyoung being confident and promoting Link8 is just a persona he wants us to see. Jinyoung is really in pain, much like the other members and BANAs. Again, we do not know what’s going on with them in person. To be honest, without Jinyoung writing all these songs for B1A4, they wouldn’t be where they’re at. Same goes for Jinyoung, without the help of the members, Jinyoung wouldn’t grow into the artist he is now.

It’s ok to be angry and hurt by Jinyoung and his actions. If you need to unfollow him or not see him for a while, do it if it makes you feel better. If you need to hate him for just a bit, feel it but don’t act on it. Do what you can to help heal yourself. I am not here to advocate on hating Jinyoung or make you guys feel empathetic for him, but I am here to tell you that feeling what you feel is ok—but under one condition—do not send hate to him and wish him nothing but misery. Do not go to his SNS or official page and starts bashing and blaming him for all the troubles A3 went through. That is unacceptable. If you truly love Jinyoung and B1A4, at least wish him happiness regardless all the pain that had happened. Also, come to us—to other BANAs—and rant and pour your entire soul out. It’s better to share your emotions among us, but do not use your emotions as something to attack Jinyoung. If you choose to support him, stick with it. If you don’t know what to feel, let your emotions marinate in your mind and follow your heart. Again, most of us are hurt and don’t know what we’re feeling, and our emotions will change as time goes on.

To those who actually read this whole thing, thank you for reading my rant. I have so many things going on, and my ideas are all over which doesn’t make any logical sense. If you want to discuss anything, please send me an ask (and if you want it answered in private, please let me know). If you choose to not support Jinyoung, don’t.

At the end, am I wrong to not have ill-feelings towards Jinyoung?

WM Entertainment Releases Official Statement Addressing Future Of B1A4

WM Entertainment has released an official statement addressing the future of B1A4.

In June, it was announced that the contracts of all five members had expired. Sandeul, CNU, and Gongchan decided to renew their contracts while Jinyoung and Baro made the decision to leave the agency. Jinyoung has since signed on with LINK8 Entertainment and Baro is now with HODU&U Entertainment.

The agency took to B1A4’s official fan cafe and website to make an announcement regarding the group’s future. They stated, “Hello, this is WM Entertainment. First, we wish to sincerely thank all the fans who always care for and love B1A4.

“Our agency has been in continuous talks with Jinyoung and Baro, who we have been with for seven years, on B1A4’s future activities. However, we have reached the agreement that due to various circumstances, it is difficult for B1A4 to promote as five members at this moment.

“Therefore, the decision has been made that CNU, Sandeul, and Gongchan will continue their activities as B1A4 as a trio. However, we have not ruled out the possibility of five-member B1A4 activities in the future and we will continue to negotiate to achieve this goal.

“We wish to apologize for bringing such news to fans who have expressed their support and hopes for B1A4 to continue activities with five members. We will do our best to provide all of our support for CNU, Sandeul, and Gongchan to greet fans again as B1A4. We will also sincerely support Jinyoung and Baro on their future endeavors and growth.

We wish to apologize once again for failing to live up to fans’ expectations, and we ask for your continued warm love and support for B1A4. Thank you.”

[shinwhoohoo]

What do you think about JY leaving his link8 or whatever agency? I was honestly shocked, because he wasn’t with them for a long time but had solo promos and it felt like his one-man agency? (Sorry if you have talked about this already, I didn’t have time to check all your posts, just really curious) my first thought when I saw the news was to ask you lol

oh gosh yeah, I got my rant and thoughts out in this ask here if you have the time to read it all haha

I’ll make a tl;dr though: I think him leaving was likely due to the agency not being able to sustain itself since he was their only artist, and when your only artist can’t work cause they’re drafted into public service for a year and a half, it doesn’t really equate to too much money rolling in.

So I think him ‘leaving’ really means that LINK8 is essentially kaput, defunct, gone under (however you wanna phrase it lol). I mean they no longer even have a working website. So not so much of him leaving as him, along with the others who kickstarted the company, agreed to take their losses and move on.

I guess I’m a bit surprised-- I would have thought he would have tried to make LINK8 work for a bit longer. But seeing how inactive they’ve been (like they literally have put no effort in the last few months in even updating their SNS with Jinyoung, let alone recruiting new artists) I guess it was just a matter of time for him to realize it was just not going to work.

With a blink of his eyes, he found tears streaming down each of his cheeks. The situation was sudden and unexpected, at least on his end. “Leaving..” He muttered out, his lips barely opening as he did so. “You’re.. leaving?” He was almost tempted to scoff after his words, though he was feeling nothing but heartache. His eyes squinted slightly as they focused on the other. “But..” He started off, inhaling to attempt from letting more tears escape. “You have no idea how much you mean to me..” His words seemed to have to meaning in their eyes. It was all over.

B1A4 Sandeul mô tả cách anh ấy vượt qua sự suy sụp của mình sau khi có sự thay đổi trong nhóm

New Post has been published on http://www.sieuthikpop.com/b1a4-sandeul-mo-ta-cach-anh-ay-vuot-qua-su-suy-sup-cua-minh-sau-khi-co-su-thay-doi-trong-nhom/

B1A4 Sandeul mô tả cách anh ấy vượt qua sự suy sụp của mình sau khi có sự thay đổi trong nhóm

B1A4 từ Sandeul đã nói chuyện thẳng thắn về một số thăng trầm trong cuộc sống của mình trong một cuộc phỏng vấn gần đây.

Vào ngày 3 tháng 6, thần tượng đã phát hành album solo mới nhất của anh ấy One One Day Day Day và một ca khúc chủ đề cùng tên.

Năm 2018, hợp đồng B1A4 lề với WM Entertainment đã hết hạn và các thành viên đã đưa ra quyết định cho tương lai của họ. Sandeul, CNU và Gongchan đã gia hạn hợp đồng với công ty và tiếp tục quảng bá với tên B1A4, trong khi Jinyoung ký hợp đồng với LINK8 Entertainment và Baro với HODU & U Entertainment. CNU sau đó đã gia nhập quân đội vào tháng 1 và các thành viên đã tập trung vào các chương trình khuyến mãi cá nhân.

Bài hát cuối cùng trong album này I Wim Fine Fine là một bài hát tôi đã viết khi tôi kém nhất, bắt đầu Sandeul. Tôi đã rất tốt vì có vấn đề với đội, và những điều tôi đã làm không nghĩ rằng điều đó sẽ xảy ra với tôi. Nhưng đến một lúc nào đó, tôi bắt đầu cảm thấy ổn từng chút một. Khi tôi bắt đầu vượt qua sự suy sụp của mình, tôi đã viết Tôi là Fine. ‘

Anh nói tiếp, tôi có rất nhiều thứ trong đầu, nhưng mọi thứ đã được sắp xếp từng cái một. Bây giờ, tôi đã hoàn toàn ổn. Một bài hát hay đã được tạo ra nhờ những thăng trầm trong cuộc sống của tôi. Đó là nơi mà album này bắt đầu. Cả ba chúng tôi đang chuẩn bị cho album B1A4 khi CNU đi vào quân đội, vì vậy chúng tôi đã đẩy lùi album B1A4 lề và chuẩn bị cho album solo của tôi. Thành thật mà nói, tôi đã rất tham vọng khi phát hành một album solo. Tôi thực sự thích quảng bá với các thành viên, vì vậy tôi muốn làm điều đó, nhưng tình huống đã kết thúc như thế này.

Bản phát hành solo của Sandeul sườn đã được đáp ứng với sự hỗ trợ từ các thành viên B1A4. CNU đã tặng anh ấy bản nhạc B-side track Obl Obl Line Line trong khi Gongchan hát bản song ca tình yêu, Luôn luôn là bạn với anh ấy.

CN CNU luôn bắt tôi hát hướng dẫn mỗi khi anh ấy sáng tác bài hát, và ngay khi tôi nghe phần đầu tiên của ‘Đường xiên, tôi đã yêu cầu anh ấy đưa nó cho tôi, anh tiết lộ Sandeul. Tôi đã gắn bó với anh ấy khoảng 10 năm nay và bài hát không thể phủ nhận là anh ấy. Cách [lời bài hát] kiên trì nói rằng không là không giống như anh ấy. Nhưng bài hát hóa ra lại có một cảm giác khác khi nó được hoàn thành.

Anh chia sẻ, Hồi Tình yêu, Luôn luôn bạn là một bài hát tôi tham vọng bao gồm trong khi mơ về một bản song ca với Gongchan. Tôi hy vọng rằng nhiều người sẽ nói rằng họ muốn nghe nhiều sự hợp tác giữa Gongchan và Sandeul sau khi nghe bài hát này. Nếu mọi người mong chờ nó nhiều hơn, thì tôi nghĩ rằng hai chúng tôi có thể phát hành một album song ca. Gongchan không biết. Người quan trọng nhất không biết điều này, nhưng Gongchan có lẽ cũng thích hát với tôi.
