pH-1 (Park Jun-won) 

[everythingkimhongjoong]

I also need the fans who are supporting Owen and pH-1 to realize this is not cultural divide.

Owen has lived in New Jersey since he was a child and is fluent in English.

pH-1 has lived in New York since he was a child. He even went to Boston College and graduated. He is also fluent in English.

If you are a big fan of these men, I would expect you to know this information. They both have even released music in fully fucking English.

Owen knows what he did was wrong. He just doesn't care. It took him 4 years to even apologize. Which is shameful and embarrassing. As for pH-1 the controversy surrounding him is his support of Owen. His failure to cut off contact with a man who is a known racist, sexist, misogynist and just an overall disgusting and despicable person. It's not hard to cut off someone and label them a former friend. If someone I knew said the shit that Owen has said, I wouldn't want to be their friend. I don't want that type of energy around me. That makes me look at pH-1 with a side eye.

Cause why are you okay with this behavior?

Why isn't this behavior a reason to cut someone out of your life?

What is your ultimate limit then pH-1?

What's even more shameful is that these men talk about how much they love hip hop, but then go on to disrespect the people who created it. Owen has been over. His career has no recovery. The man can't even appear on Korean Television. As for pH-1 he has now just lost a huge number of his international fans. Cause lets be honest, that is who most of his fans are. He isn't popular in South Korea. He is known because he collaborates with other Korean rappers and singers. He is recognizable because of Jay Park and H1ghr Music. The music he releases by himself and has no feature, does not do well.

This just left a stain on pH-1 and he will never be able to get rid of it.

・When speaking quickly or passionately about something she tends to slip back into satoori (Daegu dialect)

・A palm reader stated that it was both her and Seonghwa's first life, which is why they approach things with such excitement.

・She can play the Koto (Japanese stringed instrument).

・The members tend to refer to her as '우리 Hime' which means 'Our Princess' using the Japanese word for the title and is also a play on words with Himari's shortened name.

・While other members claim that Halazia has one of the easiest choreographies, she finds it to be one of the hardest songs to perform as she has to sing background vocals through nearly the entire song while keeping up with the steps.

・Loves to cook but often tends to be careless when it comes to the amount of spice she puts in. In addition to this, she loves beef and hates any seafood that has a shell.

・Her ideal type is someone warm hearted with a sense of humor and who can accept her care when they need it.

[pathesisa]

the marketing strategy for wayv members is so wrong and i will try to explain: (this is not hating towards any members i love all of them)

1 - the first member is xiaojun, sm pushing xiaojun into korean market after that man left was a wrong move, he is not the most marketable member for korean people. he is mcing for 1 year and he is the wayv member who gets korean promo only (bare minimum compare to other units) but it doesn't work, never saw him in the brand reputation list; ten and winwin are the only members who made it to the list. anyways xiaojun is a vocalist who should be sent in singing programs korea already has kibum, bambam kind of male idols who have the same career strategy and are obsessed with gg groups yes short viral moments are good but being labeled as this would be bad for his future career because no one gaf about kibums albums in korea they only interesting his entertainer side, xiaojun is most versatile nct vocalist he needs to market himself as a singer more, if he wants korean fame he should sing in korean but even korean singers won't charting there so i think the best market for xiaojun is mainland, my boy is more talented than any chinese mainstream artist rn. he is just talented and needs to focus on his talents more than his entertainer side because it's shadowing his talents. i really want xiaojun release covers every week, i need his angelic voice. [someone asked about his visual, yes his visual is good and my top 3 in the whole nct but he is short and has a big head (idk why this is a beauty standard) which doesn't fit in korea and chinese beauty standards]

2- second one is winwin and probably most complicated member and i'm scared yunqis will attack me, please he and xiaojun are my biases don't attack me. winwin didn't set his foot in korea for months but being on the reputation list proves he is the most marketable member for korea, if i'm not wrong he fits kbs %90 or something, but he never makes friends there, never saw him with any korean idol outside nct members, he makes himself stuck in nct circle in korea, korean people loves handsome boyfriendable cute k-idols and winwin is perfect example for this but unfortunately ww never gaf about korean market all obsessed is chinese market. i went to nct nation at japan he got the most cheers, he was the only member trended on japan twitter, he went viral 3 times he went to japan which is even no wayv and any wayv member trended here because winwin become so popular after he made into japanese national news about his and satomi ishihara similarity, not even have to mention nct life osaka.he is the most popular member in indonesia but only went here 1 time. second most popular member in thailand. ph has his biggest fanbase he never went there. this dude has a terrible career plan, all he wants become popular in mainland china, he need to open his eyes. his manager probably hates him because it's not hard to make an overseas schedule for him.

3- hendery. he is the least interesting wayv member if we have to be honest. he doesn't know how to be a private. after that man left the company he had the most potential to shine but xiaojun handled the post-lucas era better than him. i don't like his and winwin's rap parts in wayv songs, even yangyang's these raps ruining wayv's songs for being pop perfection for me. i dont see a singer or rapper future for him, wukong was a terrible experience. but you know what he has big potential among all wayv members to become popular, he is so an entertainer. he should be sent with winwin into those variety shows instead of that man, he would be x2 big in the mainland rn. i mean with 0 promotions he is the 3rd most popular member in china, having bigger fanbases than xiaojun, kun, and yangyang who have more gigs in their bags. he is so popular in indonesia, i remember he went viral there every day after a hendery fic adapted to an indo-drama. he should consider acting in movies, wong kar wai needs to open his eyes.

4- yangyang.. a big wasted potential. he would be more popular than any chinese idol in korea if he debuted in a korean group.. he is so baby. he is so marketable there, hip-hop alt culture is so popular nowadays he could probably be friends with everyone. but the company made him mark 2.0, with no originality not saying he is the less talented because yangyang is the most talented member in wayv (yes more talented than ten) but the marketing strategy killed his all hype there. this man outrapping the top 2 nct rapper (ijbol) with his 3rd language with ease, but if marketing is wrong you will start 1-0 behind. the other marketing fault is making him ten's sidekick in variety shows, this is why his fanbase never grows. all yangyang stans also love ten they have very common fandoms he needs to promote with different people, 10velys will never let yangyang shine in a show there ten is also there. yall he needs to hang out with some korean dudes outside the nct members and do some collabs, trust me is would benefit him more than those tenyang contents. everyone thinks yangyang is benefiting ten in tenyang collabs but all yangyang get is overshadowed by ten because ten has a huge fanbase. being a duo with ten was the worst thing in his career now all he gets from these, annoying shippers and a hateful fanbase who hates him because they think he is using ten's opportunities. send him in a show as mentor than watched him. my talanted boy!

5- maybe he is not the most popular in any country but he has the biggest potential for his future after wayv because he is friends with every composer, and producer, improving himself, and growing his friend circle. he is the best with these. the friends that winwin, xiaojun, or yangyang made into the industry will never benefit them in the future but having producer friends means you have secured your position. instead of being hyped for 4-5 years and then being forgotten after new idols debuted, i will always prefer people like kun who have stable careers because he will still have the same fanbase even after 10 years. this is why i think he has the best strategy in wayv and dont want quick viral moments like didi line of wayv (hendery, xiaojun, yangyang), all people know him as the member who can do 20 things.

6- ten lee.. ace of the aces. being compared to with the ten lee would be biggest achivement for those nct members yall trying to believe us they are more taleted than him lol. wayv was the biggest miastake for his career. this dude want int fame, being 2000s popstar. relasing a fully english song without thai or chinese version just proving my point. he really dgaf about these markets. he should be debuted as a soloist at the first day now we probably would compare him with the taemin but now people only calling him taemin 2.0 and it's so sad. i think he and winwin really loves wayv because both of them have better chances outside the group but they are still with them. his album is doing so good and break some records and surpassed big soloist like taeyeon, seulgi etc. in spotify numbers. the company need to already start to organize his 2nd album even before wayv album sorry not sorry.

[everythingkimhongjoong]

It seems like Owen put out a trash ass apology as well and his buddy ph1 supported it. It's a little bit too late for that bullshit.

Both of these men are trash. They are both cancelled in my mind. I hope both of their careers flip hard. If you don't respect black people, then don't participate in the genre of music we created.

[khiphop-discussions]

Damn I wonder what the future holds for H1ghr. After Jay left it feels like everyone is leaving. And is cha cha still the sole ceo? Ph-1 posted the H1ghr logo on his socials, what does that mean? Do you think the label will eventually dissolve?

I was thinking that because it seems like so many people have left in such a short time but after looking at their current roster, they still have quite a few people.

I think it's just a lot less common for people to stay with labels long term now and that's why we're seeing so many people leave h1gher. Indigo has a track record of a lot of original members leaving too. P Nation also. Even in kpop we have YG, when their company used to have people stay FOREVER lol.

I'm not really sure what Ph-1 posting that meant but I think it could just be him just showing his commitment to h1gher like "I'm still here. Don't plan on leaving" but I've seen others speculate that maybe Ph-1 will be a co-ceo. I really don't know cause it was just too vague lol.

I think h1gher still has a few years left in it. There's always gonna be someone who wants to join h1gher because their legacy is just so big now. I'm sure there's still a lot of rappers whose dream is to be signed to h1gher, especially to work with Cha Cha and Hwimin as producers and then Ph-1 or Big Naughty as a featuring artist. I think as long as some combination of those 4 are around then H1gher should be fine. But if we start seeing them leaving too THEN it's time to get scared LOL
