 [Salt Ent Official Statement]

Hello, this is Salt Ent. 

We apologize for causing people to be concerned because of Actor Kim Seonho's personal affairs. 

We apologize to many people who are disappointed and harmed by this incident. 

Once again, we apologize for causing people to be concerned because of this unpleasant incident. 


[Kim Seonho's Official Statement]

Hello, this is Kim Seonho. 

I would like to apologize for the delay in my official statement. 

When I saw my name on the news a few days ago, I experienced extreme fear for the first time, which is also why I'm only now releasing this statement. 

We were in a relationship and we had good feelings towards each other. However, I hurt her because of my incompetence and inconsiderate behavior in the middle of that. 

I wanted to meet her and apologize to her in person, but I'm unable to do that now and I'm waiting for that opportunity to do so to come. In the meantime, I hope I can deliver my sincere apology towards her through this letter. 

I apologize for causing such disappointment to everyone who has believed and supported me now. I can only stand here as Actor Kim Seonho because of those who have supported me, and I have forgotten that point. I also apologize for causing harm to all crews and staff who have worked with me, who still lack a lot. I sincerely apologize to everyone who has been hurt because of me. 

I know this letter is full of rambling and wouldn't fully reach people's hearts, but I'm expressing my sincerity through this letter. 

I deeply apologize. 

theqoo

-Whoa... He admits to all the accusations made towards him?

-He doesn't even make any excuses...

-Whoa... So that was all real. I hoped it wasn't real because he's one of the actors that I really liked, thoughㅋㅋㅋ Bye

-It took him days to apologize and this is what he could only come up with...???

-Seems like he's only releasing this statement because he couldn't come down to a settlement with the victim...

-So that was all real. Looking at how he apologized, it seems like the evidence the woman had was so strong that his career would be destroyed the moment she shows it to everyone.

-Finallyㅋㅋㅋ Well, at least he doesn't make any excuses and went straight to the point. Seems like the evidence was really strong. 

-I hope he would retire from the entertainment industry. I don't want to see his face ever again. 

-So... He's basically saying that all the rumors out there were real...?

-I hope no one compliments him for making such a great apology letter^^

-What the heck? So he really did all of that?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Crazy jerk, I hope I will never see you again!

-What a nice and simple apology letter~ Goodbye~

-Whoa... So it was all real. I guess we can never trust celebrities. 

-Seems like he tried to settle with the victim, but couldn't and things kept on getting bigger. That's why he just decided to apologize. 

-To those who hate on the victim and shield him towards the end... You guys should be ashamed of yourself.

 I know that G-IDLE's Miyeon is starting her career as an actress, but why did they send her to do drama like this;; Did they really tell their female idol to play that role? Are they in their right mind? After the scandal, they let Miyeon do the f*cking hard work on her own and now they're sending her out there for this?



There will be in total 7 episodes in the drama 'Adult Trainee' that tells the story about the high spirit of teenagers in their 10s comedically. Jaemin who is addicted to masturbation, conservative Yura who begins a risque relationship with her male friend, and overweight Naeun who has never been in a relationship in her entire life and now is looking for a boyfriend. This drama is about the concerns, love stories, and struggles 18-year-olds go through in hope that generation Z could relate to this drama. 


From this on-set picture I can already tell that this drama is going to be shitty

pann
[+616][-35]

1. [+303][-16] What the heck is that? Do they think they're in Europe or whatㅋㅋㅋ What if teenagers tries to copy them, wouldn't it be a problem...??

2. [+208][-5] I think they're just trying to copy the 19+ rated shows they see on Netflix...

3. [+148][-145] ㅋㅋㅋㅋShe's in her mid-20s. When she was younger, she went to Japan for a vacation which suits the theme of the drama. Why are you treating her like she's underageㅋㅋㅋ You guys really be treating her like a kid since her group name is Idle... (NB: Idle in Korean is 아이들 which also could mean kids)

4. [+116][-2] I can already tell this drama is shitty just by reading the synopsis. Addicted-to-masturbating Jaemin, conservative Yura... What kind of bullshit is that

5. [+78][-14] I'm sure Miyeon wanted to play that role without any forces. You guys are acting like mothers-in-law...

6. [+73][-3] I'm getting bad vibes from that one banana in the middle... What is her company doing?? How could they let her do this drama?? Why is Miyeon accepting this role? How could the production team think it's a good idea to make drama with such a storyline... Not to mention it takes place in a school? 

Is Cube crazy?? Why would they let Miyeon do this drama;;

1. [+323][-4] He's so freaking handsome

2. [+282][-5] I really want to die

3. [+273][-5] I literally stopped f*cking breathing during this scene. My heart skipped a f*cking beatㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+109][-0] Whoa...

5. [+104][-103] Make this the recommended comment pleaseㅋㅋ

[Taeyong acts as a boyfriend who's great at flirting on SNL today]




Rose fragrance, Chanel No.5, the smell of your skin...

theqoo

-I didn't expect him to be this good at acting. He took me by surprise. 

-He's surprisingly very good at things like thisㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He's good at acting, even more than I expectedㅋㅋㅋ And I think I don't have anything to say about his face. He looks handsome like always.

-I really want to see Taeyong as an actor. He's so much better than I thought!!!

-If he studies acting a little bit more I think he could be a great actor...

-Oh Gosh... There's seriously nothing that he can't do...

-He really suits that hairstyle. He looks so freaking handsome.

-He'd make a great actorㅋㅋㅋ He looks very natural in those scenes...

-Even his voice is handsome...

-I'm currently re-watching this episode and I hope he'd start actingㅋㅋㅋ He really suits this hairstyle. He has always been handsome, but he looks even more handsome with that hair.

-What does he expect me to do if he's that sexy... with that face...ㅠㅠㅠ

-Look at his gaze???? My heart just skipped a beat...

-I think he'd make a great actor if he practices a little bit more... He's already good at it even now, I'm very surprised. 

-I like his face

Taeyong in SNL is shockingㅋㅋ

DP

Honestly, DP is more well-made but Squid Game has the theme that nothing else can beatㅋㅋㅋ

instiz

-I personally enjoyed DP more than Squid Game

-I watched both DP and Squid Game! I personally like DP more...

-I enjoyed watching both DP and Squid Gameㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-You guys really have to watch DP. It's a really great drama, the storyline is really amazingㅠㅠㅠ

-I watched DP in one sitting while it took me quite some time to finish Squid Game...

-I really enjoyed DP. I just finished watching it all yesterday...

-I enjoyed both dramas, but I watched DP without skipping any parts and all at one sitting while I skipped some parts in Squid Game. Both are great dramas, anyway!

-I already finished watching DP before Squid Game came outㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-But don't most people finish watching DP first before Squid Game becomes popular?

-I'm so happy because there's a lot of great dramas lately...

-I don't think it's overshadowed. I remember seeing DP in news back then.

-DP is a really well-made drama...

Netflix drama that is overshadowed because of Squid Game

Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, Yuna

theqoo

-Yeji is such a great dancer...

-The ones in the left and center are really great dancers...

-What is the name of the girl in the center?? I think she's the best dancer out of these five...

-The girl in the all-black outfit is totally my type...

-I'm not a fan, but based on this video I don't think Lia is a bad dancer...

-Yeji and Ryujin give off different vibes even when they're dancing the same part

-I think they're all great dancers, but the girl on the left is the most outstanding and looks the most energetic!

-I don't know much about ITZY but the girl in the middle caught my attention...

-Ryujin has this ability to steal people's attention...

-I think Yuna is a great dancer. On top of that, she has great body proportions and power which makes her look even more amazingㅋㅋㅋ

-Yeji drives me insane... She's literally the bestㅠㅠㅠ

-Lia is so much better than I thought, though???

-They're all great dancers... Do we really have to compare them?

-They're all great dancers but my favorite is Chaeryeong...

Comparison of ITZY's members dancing the same part

 ITZY's title track is called 'Loco'















There are some people who think it looks like Lee Hyori's hair during Refund Sisters era

theqoo

-This is my favorite hairstyle on herㅋㅋㅋ

-Her hair looks so cool and it suits her really well...

-I love her hairstyle and makeup here but her outfit looks so f*cking weird...

-Seems like the stylists are doing experiments on Ryujin now since fans complained about Yeji being the 'experimental' member previously...

-Whoa... Ryujin makes my heart skip a beat...

-She suits that hairstyle really well... It makes her look outstanding, just like her hairstyle during Wannabe era...

-With Ryujin's face... I think she will look beautiful no matter what she does...

-This is the worst hairstyle, makeup, and outfit I have ever seen on Ryujin...

-I think she'd look so much better if it wasn't for her blue eyeshadow...

-It looks unique and pretty, though??

-Why are there holes on her denim jacket?? I don't like it... Now that I take a closer look, what she wears inside is just as weird...

-What do you mean? She totally rocks this look. She looks really cool...

-Ryujin is really beautiful but I hope the stylists would stop doing experiments on herㅠㅠ

-This look only looks cool because it's Ryujin... She's really beautiful, but the outfits and the hairstyle are a little bit 'too much'. Not to mention her eyeshadow.

-If I copied this look, I probably would look like a druggie...

-Ryujin looks cool no matter what...

ITZY Ryujin's styling for Loco gets divided opinions

, ,

 Mnet girl group survival program, Girls Planet 999, started out with 33 participants from each country, South Korea, China, and Japan. Up until the second elimination, only 27 of them remain. (The final debut line up consists of 9 members)

There are 3 members who are most likely to debut

1. Kawaguchi Yurina


2. Sakamoto Mashiro

3. Ezaki Hikaru

You can clearly see it from the result of the votes
#2. Kawaguchi Yurina. Total votes: 4,661,720 (Korean votes: 271,551; Global votes: 1,991,757)
#3. Sakamoto Mashiro. Total votes: 4,578,894 (Korean votes: 214,579; Global votes: 2,288,333)
#4. Ezaki Hikaru. Total votes: 4,176,316 (Korean votes: 214,409; Global votes: 2,012,295)

However, the most popular Japanese participant, Kawaguchi Yurina, is actually getting negative reactions from Japan


(NB: I don't speak Japanese and the Korean translation from Google translate is a little bit off. Correct me if I'm wrong)
I like Yurina, but she never speaks in Korean during her speech. It's okay to speak in broken language as long as she speaks in Korean even if it's just one word, right??

(NB: questions about how Yurina gets a lot of votes from South Korea)

She's not working hard and doesn't learn Korean, but how come she becomes the center? I'm so sad.

'I agree. The other Chinese or Japanese trainees at least say 'Thank you for voting me' in Korean, and then continues their speech using their native language'
'This bothers me too. She doesn't have to speak fully in Korean. She could try to memorize one or two sentences to show people how she wants to learn Korean. Maybe she's busy practicing for the mission or simply doesn't have the time to learn Korean, but I think it'll affect her popularity. 
'It's a program that includes three different countries, so they don't have to speak in Korean and there will be translators who would interpret what they're saying. She should try to at least learn..'

Kawaguchi Yurina is known for being not talented in Japan and uses poor strategies to promote herself, which makes people don't like her. However, she's really popular overseas. Maybe it's because of her looks. But Korean idols are not only about the looks, but also the talents. So, I think it'd be better if the ones who get to debut are not only beautiful but also talented. 

If Kawaguchi Yurina gets to debut, I wouldn't like the group, so this needs to stop. Her target is to become a Kpop Idol, but she doesn't even speak Korean. The other trainees have admired Kpop and made efforts to be in this program. 

The conclusion:
1. She wants to be a Kpop idol, but she doesn't speak Korean at all?
2. Don't Koreans prioritize skills before anything else? She's considered talented?

These are the kind of reactions Japanese netizens show to Kawaguchi Yurina. As you can see, Japanese viewers are very clueless about how she's really popular in South Korea and other countries. She's currently getting a lot of hate in Japan. 

+ A little bit of background.

Sakamoto Mashiro is a JYP ex-trainee and talented. She's also very fluent in Korean and has great leadership as seen in the show. Therefore she gets positive reactions from the viewers.

Ezaki Hikaru was judged for her looks at first and got a lot of hate because of it. But she succeeds in showing her talent on the stage and the viewers start to see her in a different light. And people think she's getting cuter and cuter as time passes by. Besides that, she also speaks Korean.

Kawaguchi Yurina is very popular in South Korea and other countries, only Japanese netizens seem to dislike her.

theqoo

-I like Yurina but now that I think about it, I never heard her speaking Korean while that JYP ex-trainee and Hikaru keeps on speaking in Korean...

-Oh, seems like Japanese netizens really care about their Korean skills. Well, speaking Korean is a must if you want to be a Kpop idol...

-But I have to admit that Yurina is really beautiful...

-I dropped this show because my pick was eliminated

-Koreans don't even watch this show...

-It's fascinating how Japanese netizens dislike her because she doesn't learn how to speak Korean...

-In order to become a Kpop Idol, you have to, at least, know basic Koreanㅋㅋㅋ How are you going to understand the lyrics if you don't speak Korean?

-I was wondering what kind of show this is, so I looked it up and the rating is only 0.8%. Seems like Koreans don't even watch this show.

-Yurina is beautiful, but in terms of talent, I think Mashiro and Hikaru are superior...

-Do people even watch this show...?

-I immediately understand why she's popular right at the first sight, though?ㅋㅋ She's beautiful...

-Whoa... Mashiro is really pretty...

-Mashiro speaks more Korean than Japanese, maybe 1:9?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-She's pretty... Why are people hating her?? I should start voting for her from now on
