people kin all for one???? /gen

also u make a good point yeye but i do also think its valid that people set boundaries for their own mental well being? like as a shouto who wouldnt entirely mind interacting with an endeavor i both respect that fictives and a decent amount of kinnies dont control who they are but also like. he was kinda canonically a bit shit? and i know hes getting a redemption arc but yea i think theres a lotta nuance there??? i dunno! thats just my onionq

How does food support by fans work? As in, what does it take to get it happen successfully? I imagine the fandom has to liaise with the agency since the idols' diets are always managed.

Diet isn’t the issue.

You also need to contact the production company.

Do you watch dramas? If so which ones are ur favorite?

Not recently. The most recent one I watched was YWCFTS, which was like the first I’d watched in like what, 1-2 years?

Wow, it's been 9 years already and they are still active and going strong. I'm a proud fan. Thank you too for still being part of the fandom

\o/

Hey, I wanted to say that I really like how you don't beat around the bush. I'm a CNBLUE fan & the recent stock scandal has me really worried. They had a clean image for the last 6 years but this scandal seems to have totally ruined their rep. The knetizens seem to think of Yonghwa as an unfilial son. Will this really affect them in the long run? I personally think FNC was crappy in managing this crisis, (they're crappy in general). What can they do to come back from this?

Yonghwa probably needs to go underground for a year or two until the whole thing blows over and some other scandal is the flavour of the moment… but FNC seems to be feigning ignorance. Interested to see where it goes.

Why does SM keep pushing the EDM influenced/mid tempo tracks? It's not that I don't like them but Korea isn't really buying it and more and more people are complaining about it. Does that mean that they truly think that Korea will start eating it up at some point?

EDM does work in some respects in the Korean market. I think SM are trying to capture that aspect.

So before, you said lsm was a Freemason. Are there any of his artists who are also involved in that? Or is it just him? I know they aren't nearly as powerful as him so it makes me wonder. And what about the devout Christians who work for him?

Freemasonry isn’t a religion, or contradictory to religions, is it?

What are you up to these days?

Work, mostly.

Do you know why The Handmaiden (아가씨) was such a huge hit in SK even though the theme is considered a taboo by the Korean society?

Because apparently if it’s film, and supposedly if only adults are watching, it’s all okay. Heaven forbid two girls sharing a peck on the lips in a drama miniseries… but yo, length scenes of a girl going down on another girl, and scissoring like their lives depend on it? ART! ART, I TELL YOU!

Korea is weird, but if this helps to normalize reception somewhat, maybe it works. Unfortunately, I think we’re moving into just fetishising homosexuality and using it as a shock thing to generate money. Hopefully, if this is true, we can power through it into a new generation where society can accept it as normal behaviour, (instead of the behaviour of a twisted, mental state of vulnerable people, as it usually is for Korean cinema)

Funnily enough, gay stuff seems to sell really well in Korea. King’s Man/King’s Clown had gay relations between a King and a cross-dressing traveling minstrel actor, and that is like the sixth highest grossing film in the Korean market.

It’s also been hilarious talking to other businessmen about the movie. For a lot of them, it’s the first time that they’ve seen lesbian erotica in any form. Imagine the reaction of 40~50 year old men discovering that genre for the first time, who have been vehemently against homosexuality and then being confused by the site of two beautiful people of the same gender going at it.

There's are a few articles going around saying that SM is having a big company holiday to Hawaii. But I've seen this story on twitter and on pretty unreliable kpop news sites (allkpop etc). Do you know if this is actually going to happen?

It’s technically a “Team Building Workshop” to mark the 20th Anniversary of the company being founded (despite that being technically 18 months ago but whatever lol). They’re taking pretty much the entire staff and all active artists over for five days.

They say they’ve been working on the schedule since last year (they haven’t, they’ve just been crappy about organising it for 18 months, and kinda threw it together in the past few months).

So North Korea says they're gonna attack the U.S again. 💁 Any thoughts?

Recently, a North Korean general stole something like 0.4% of the country’s GDP and defected. This is in addition to North Korean soldiers deserting and fleeing to China just within the last week.

I’m pretty sure that this is significant. The three pillars of North Korea are the Kim Dynasty, the Communisty Party, and the Army. The army is what really holds control at the end of the day and even if the citizens starve, the soldiers usually still got fed. If they’re defecting, it sounds like things are getting pretty bad up there.

North Korea tends to make big stunts whenever they get a little desperate or to try to pacify the people in the country. They’re not going to attack any more than the last time they said it, but the country seems to be becoming more and more unstable than before.

So... Baekhyun and Taeyeon were just an act? Or they were together before?

No, those two were together.

Not asking you to name anyone but can we assume that you do know of a lot more celeb couples that haven't been revealed yet?

There’s always rumours.

What's the likelihood of Sunny getting in on SM station? I'd love to hear her do something musically away from SNSD

I’m still waiting.

[oniontaker]

yeri was always part of red velvet she was just too young to debut with them

That sentence doesn’t even make sense.

Did you know Kai and Krystal are dating even before SM and dispatch confirm it?

Would it change whether you believed that I did, whether I said that I did or that I didn’t?
