🐯: Hyung, greet them

🐶🐢🐯🦊🐰: This was Urban Electro Band, NU'EST‼️

-I quit Kpop after NU'EST disbanded... But it's so nice to see them meeting regularly and getting along well. I'm tearing up...ㅠㅠ

-The meat looks delicious.

2024 MAMA AWARDS

To explain the background of this announcement...

Due to Seunghan's departure from RIIZE, there are fans who are threatening to do mass shoot .Korean fans under the guise of a boycott. They also warned to boycott other fandoms' lightsticks. 

Source: https://theqoo.net/square/3486554817

They claim it's just a TikTok meme, but the U.S. is actually a gun-friendly country where mass shootings happen frequently. There's a high possibility that they're going to throw tantrums at East Asian fans who are going to the MAMA Awards in the U.S., so the organizers are taking action in advance.

There are fans who already said that they are going to shout 'RIIZE is 7' there as well. Of course, they're not actually from RIIZE's fandom... They said they're gonna put the number '7' on their faves' lightsticks.

Even after the organizer posted the notice, they're still saying that they're gonna show the American fans' power and bring the paper folded. They even asked how much the organizer has been paid by SM Ent.

mooties briize & nonbriize who are in the LA/OC area and would like to gather to help make more lightstick covers for our project pls lmk ! pls msg me ! we need all the help we can get 🧡 thank you so much for your support 🫶🏻 & for not giving up #RIIZING7 #riizeis7 #HumanRights https://t.co/36EAkFaerF

theqoo 

-They should cancel the whole show or at least cancel RIIZE's performance. What are they doing?? Are fans not staging a protest?

-Ah... I'm so f*cking worried...

-Just do the award show in Korea

-Whoa... They're insane.

-This is crazy... Is it even that serious?

-They're causing chaos in other fandoms...

-SM-ah, what are you doing?

-These crazy people just want to harass Korean idols and fans by mentally pressuring and scaring them. I bet they don't even know what Seunghan looks like. These b*tches...

-...?? Seriously, though. Are these people mentally ill? What's wrong with them??????

-Just hold the award show without RIIZE.

-Why are they still throwing tantrum when it's already been announced that Seunghan's gonna debut as a solo singer? Just don't send RIIZE to the U.S.

-Oh Gosh... Sending RIIZE to Japan would be a better option right now. How many American singers have been killed by gun violence?

-This isn't something to laugh about... Guns are really dangerous in the U.S.

-Why are they acting like that when they're not even fans of RIIZE?

-I feel bad for RIIZE... These b*tches have completely lost it.

-Not gonna lie, I'm genuinely worried...

-This is very concerning...

-If the show gets canceled, aren't they going to be the one at loss?

His cheeks disappeared

This is the Sakuya in my memory (This picture was taken this March)

theqoo

-His fans are going to cry when they see this

-He grew up so fast. He looked like an elementary school student at SM Town Concert.

-Oh my goodness... Do Japanese kids usually grow up that fast?? NCT Yuta also became a man out of a sudden, it's fascinating.

-How old is he?? He looks like an elementary school student who grew up and now becomes a middle school student.

-My baby is growing up so fastㅠ

-He's at the age where he's growing up really fast...

-I honestly wouldn't have known it he was Sakuya if no one said it

-Please grow up slowly...

-To all the idols who are in charge of being the baby of the group... Please grow up slowlyㅠ

-Hul... This is unbelievable. I didn't recognize him at first.

-He grew from being a baby to being a teenager...

-He's handsome

-No... Sakuya, eat more breadㅜㅜ Protect your cheeks...

-Oh no... His cheeks disappeared.

-Hul... Where did his cheeks go?

theqoo 

-Taemin has always been that heartwarming

-What a heartwarming combination...

-He's so heartwarming and sweet... I'm really gratefulㅠ_ㅠ

-Taemin-ah, you're so sweet

-Look at the babies' expressionsㅠㅠ.... Taemin must know well how they feel since he debuted at a young age too... Ah, those trashy bastards...

-So heartwarming... He's cheering them on.

-ㅠㅠ I'm rooting for NewJeans. This is really heartwarming.

-Senior who takes care of his baby juniors is the best...

-So heartwarming. Look at their expressionsㅠㅠ

-Taemin is actually quite introverted, so it's really rare for him to be having conversations with a group that he isn't close with... He must've really wanted to cheer them on.

-Fighting, NewJeans!

-Whoa, look at Danielle... Is she a Disney princess or what...

-I hope they know that they have a lot of people rooting for them. Stay strong!

-Looks like he really wanted to cheer them on. So heartwarming.

-Taemin cheered NewJeans on when they won awards. He even looked at them proudly when they performedㅋㅋ Taemin is such a cool senior. He's grown a lotㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Seeing NewJeans reminds me of SHINee's early debut days... Anyway, I'm really happy to see this interaction.

-So heartwarmingㅠㅠ The girls must've felt energized since he cheered them on.

-Hyein was about the same age as Taemin when he debutedㅜㅜ NewJeans, fighting.

-Taemin has become a senior who roots for his juniors like this... What a great feelingㅜㅜㅜㅜ NewJeans, fighting. Everything will work out. I promise you!

-So heartwarming. I can see hearts in the girls' eyesㅋㅋ

theqoo 

-Taemin's class is just differentㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I watched this with my jaw dropped

-Just from the beginning of 'Heaven,' you can clearly tell that he's singing live.

-Whoa... I literally watched the whole performance with my jaw dropped.

-His live performance is insane.

-This is insane. Absolutely amazing.

-Hul... He performed 'Heaven'

-Lee Taemin's class is on a whole another level.

-He absolutely nailed this performance.

-Whoa... He's really good at live performances....

-Whoa... He's even better than I remembered.

-He's really good. I was stunned when I saw this live.

-He sang all these songs live??? Whoa... How can he perform three difficult songs in a row like that? Taemin is really insane. His performance is so fun to watch since he sings live and performs in a really cool way.

-Now this is what you call an idol.

-Lee Taeminㅠㅠㅠㅜㅜㅠㅠ I f*cking love youㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-He's truly the king of live performance. My jaw dropped to the floor.

-His live performance, as expected, made my jaw dropped to the floor.

-Taemin has always been good at performing liveㅋㅋ

-Taemin just being Taemin. He's currently in the middle of a world tour, that's why he improved a lot.

-His performance of 'Heaven' drives me insane.

-Judging from the first video, you can clearly tell that he sings live.

The day where there are 0 Koreans at a fan signing event in South Korea has come

 

잠만 ㅋㅋ예사 팬싸 50명중에 50명 외국인 뭐지 진짜 잠만ㅋㅋㅋㅋ이거 뭐지..? 명단 잘못올리신거 맞죠...? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ pic.twitter.com/kWIapa3uSL

Wait a minuteㅋㅋ Out of 50 winners of the fan signing, all 50 of them are foreigners. What is going on? Seriously, wait a minuteㅋㅋㅋㅋ What is going on...? There must be a mistake, right...?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

Not to mention this fan signing will be held on the group's debut anniversary, none of the winners are Korean.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not just for certain artists or agencies, but these days, the number of Korean fans winning fan signing events is decreasing.

Not exactly none at all, but there are cases where less than half of the winners are Koreans.

This could happen to any fandom someday

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

The artist would probably be surprised too

theqoo

-In the end, it's a system where the more copies you buy, the more likely you are to be chosen... The fact that they are validating the fans who spent a lot of money on the idols by making them able to meet the idols is already weird in the first place.

-Who is the artist? Do they have a big international fandom?

-There's nothing you can do if the artist have a lot of international fans...ㅠㅠ

-There were only 2-3 Koreans per session at my bias' recent fansignㅜ It's not that Korean fans don't spend money, but those international fans with the... group orders? You just can't beat them.

-It's just a system where you're chosen based on how much money you spend. I think having a quota system is going to be a lot weirder.

-They should prioritize Korean fans when it comes to domestic fansigns or any other domestic events.

-HYBE must be low on money and really desperate for moneyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Maybe it's because Korean fans spend less money...?

-Yeah... There are fewer Korean fans at my bias' recent fansign too...

-It's Enhypenㅋㅋ There were only 4 to 5 Korean fans at my bias' recent fansign. This day has finally come...ㅠㅠ

-Yeah, the Korean fans at my bias' fansigns are also decreasing... It looks like it will become just like this soon.

-International fans are spending more money than us... There's nothing we can do.

-I heard this is Enhypen's fansign. Well, Enhypen has a big international fandom to begin with.

-Well... Enhypen doesn't have many Korean fans, there's nothing we can do.

-They're holding the fan signing event in South Korea, so they should at least adjust the ratio...

-The same also happens in other idols' fan signing events, not only for this groupㅠㅠ

-It's hard to find Korean fans at my bias' fansigns these days... I heard some Chinese vendors are involved now, there's no way individual fans can beat them.

-I heard there's a fan who bought 600 copies and still didn't win?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Honestly, it's understandable since they don't have a lot of promotional activities in South Korea. But this is a bit much.

-Whoa... How many Chinese fans are in that list?
