They give out everything without any randomness. Besides the photobook, poster, etc, the album also comes with key ring, stickers, and 17 photocards. It's priced at 170,000 KRW (~$125 USD; ~Rp2,000,000 IDR) with a discount. The previous deluxe album was priced at 40,000 KRW (~$30 USD; ~Rp 472,000 IDR), so they expected this album to be similar or even better than it.

-Wow, it's like a concert ticket price...

-HYBE is taking money from young girls, making games tailored to old men's weird tastes, and when a female employee makes a good money, they kick her out for being more capable than their bossesㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-HYBE... The worst

-This is ridiculous. Even if it's something I'd normally buy, I won't buy this.

-You have to boycott HYBE to make them come to their senses. They keep doing this because people keep buying.

-Wait... I knew HYBE is crazy about money, but this is too much.

-I won't buy it. I'll use the money to beef with my mom and dad instead. Is HYBE out of touch with reality or what? Seems like they're not in their right minds.

-They should include a CD player or make it with pure gold... Even if HYBE see fans as money maker, there's a limit, right? This company is clearly crazy about money.

-Seriously, this is ridiculousㅋㅋㅋ Their stock price won't recover just because they do this, they must be frustrated because fans don't buy it.

-I won't buy it, I won't buy it !!!!!!!!! Even if the album is actually good, fans won't just blindly buy things.

-Enough already....

-They should be criticized for this. If they keep making profits like this, other agencies will follow suit. Deluxe editions, lucky suites, they all started with HYBE.

-Is it 17% off because it's Seventeen...? Is it just a coincidence...?

-They see fans as wallets.

-HYBE being HYBE

-HYBE has ruined everything.

-They'll probably use all that money to drink and play golf.

-This is really a problem... HYBE has ruined everything.

-HYBE is the problem, seriously.

According to the music industry, the board of directors of ADOR, including CEO Min Heejin, will hold a meeting on the morning of the 10th at a location in Seoul, notifying HYBE.

Currently, the board of ADOR consists of CEO Min and others including Shin and Kim.

Previously, the legal representative of ADOR from the law firm Sejong stated, "According to the regulations, the board meeting will be held by May 10th, and the shareholders' meeting will be held until the end of May." They also mentioned, "Additional statements will be provided by May 13th (to the court)." Accordingly, if an interim shareholders' meeting is decided during the board meeting on that day, the date for the meeting will be set after the 15th, with the earliest possible date being the 27th."

Currently, HYBE claims suspicions of Min Heejin's alleged takeover of ADOR's management rights and embezzlement. Min Heejin denies all allegations.

-I wonder what will happen.

-Why is this meeting being held?

-Cinderella always wins

-I wish Min Heejin and New Jeans could be free.

-Cheering for Min Heejin!

-I hope she wins and later goes independent with New Jeans...

-Min Heejin, New Jeans, fighting!

-I'm sincerely cheering for you, ㅠㅠ Hang in there.

-Please take New Jeans with you ㅠㅠ It's heartbreaking to see the girls  being treated like that...

-Please, I hope a good result comes out ㅠㅠ I want to see her winㅠㅠ

-HYBE has more than just one or two things to answer forㅋㅋㅋ Bang Sihyuk, you should explain about the threats you made to ADOR's vice president too.

-Realistically, I think it's impossible for her to not get dismissed from HYBE. And New Jeans will probably stay with HYBE because they will get a penalty fee if they terminate their contract now. If they choose to leave anyway, I hope there's a good agreement so they can immediately start activities without being legally restricted.

-Please win! I want to keep seeing Min Heejin's version of New Jeans.

-She'll probably be dismissed even faster than expected.

-It won't be easy because of the shareholding ratio, but I hope she winsㅜㅜㅜㅜ

-It's hilarious how they made this mess just because they wanted to ditch one womanㅋㅋㅋㅋ So chaotic

-It's so weird to see people unconditionally supporting one side, whether it's HYBE or Min Heejin...

-Anyway, she'll probably be dismissed while New Jeans stays in HYBE according the duration of the contract, right?

With her cute face, she stands as the fourth tallest member in IVE. When she stands with the other members, she looks small. 

I thought, 'She's an IVE member, so she must be actually tall~' but I never realized how tall she is until...



She's 170cm tall

theqoo

-???? How tall is Yujin then?

-She's 170cm tall, but is considered short in her group...?

-I thought Liz was around 171cm tall.... Just how tall are Yujin and Wonyoung then...?

-Wow, all IVE members are tall.

-That group picture was taken two years ago. It was taken when she was around 169cm  tall, now she has reached 170cmㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Yujin and Wonyoung are 173cm tall, Liz is 171cm, Rei 170cm, Leeseo 167, and Gaeul 164cm...

-?????? Rei is 170cm tall???????

-How tall is Liz? She seems almost the same height as Yujin.

-IVE members are all tall. Gaeul, the shortest member, is around 160cm tallㅋㅋㅋ

-170?!!!!! So tall! Why did I think she was short?

-It's hard to believe she's 170cm tall...

IVE Rei is actually taller than expected

-Why is Yongbok holding an orange juice?ㅋㅋ Cute

-Felix holding an orange juiceㅋㅋㅋㅋ So cute

-They look genuinely surprisedㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Chris Hemsworth gains negative reactions for his 'beach wedding guest' look despite being one of the co-hosts of the Met Gala. Especially since his look is being compared to fellow co-host Bad Bunny, who matched his outfit to the theme.


 

theqoo

-Not surprising.

-There's really nothing to criticize about it.

-Bad Bunny seems to be really interested in fashion and adventurous, so it looks goodㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It's a fashion event, after all.

-What's this year's theme?

-He should've at least brought some flowers.

-Doesn't he know what the Met Gala is...?

-It's really lacking in sincerity.

-Really lacking in effort.

-Even though he gets criticized every year, he never changes. On the other hand, female celebrities really put all their effort into dressing up.

-And why are the shoes black in the midst of it all? Not even a bit coordinated... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seriously, no effort at all.

-If you're going to dress like that, why bother coming to the Met Gala?

-'Beach wedding guest' lookㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If he wanted to be more unique, he could have worn a crown or something.

-Bad Bunny looks cool.

-There's absolutely no effort, not even a hint of uniqueness.

-If he had just added a single flower, he would have received less criticism.

-This is seriously lacking in effort. What is that?

-It would have been better if he had gone with something more cliché.

-But who decides on the hosts?

-Are her organs okay? ㄷㄷ

-Her face doesn't look good... I think she's going to collapse

-How is she even breathing???;

-Is that even possible... Wow, as someone who can't even handle wearing slightly tight pants, I can't imagine wearing that; that's impressive;

-She's barely breathing...?

-Instead of tying her waist, tie your hair

-That's self-harm ㅠㅠ

-How is she even breathing?;;

-I'm really sorry, but can she breathe?

-She's squeezing her organs ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It's amazing that she can do that to that extent, it looks so difficult ㅜㅜ

-Leaving aside everything else, it's so fascinating that this can happen physically...?

-At this point, I don't think she even has ribs?ㄷㄷㄷ

-What the heck... Is that even possible?

-Harmful, really harmful.

-Even her expression doesn't look good.

-That can't be good for her body.

-Are her ribs okay? At this point, someone might come out dragging their ancestors' bones on Met Gala next year.

-Are her ribs okay...?

theqoo

-It looks cool, but please wear underwear

-This time, it seems like she came out after taking a shower.

-I'm surprised that she seems quieter and more modest than usual.

-Modest.

-It's good that she dresses according to the theme, but... Wouldn't it be more comfortable for her if she wore underwear?

-Why are her hands like that?

-Is she not wearing anything inside?

-Did she fall into the sea?

-Did she get sprayed by water or is the fabric naturally like that?

-She's not wearing anything inside???ㄷㄷㄷ

-Does she need to get sprayed every time it dries?

-Realistic representation of the goddess of water.

-Her makeup looks fantastic

-I usually dislike Bianca Sensory and this kind of fashion, but this fits the Doja Cat so well, it's cool... it's like when Aphrodite emerged from the sea, artistic.

BTS is named as the biggest victim amid HYBE and ADOR dispute, according to foreign media reports and reactions from overseas fans.

A French media outlet reported on the 5th (local time) with the headline "BTS Becomes the Biggest Victim of a Corporate War." In the online article, it was reported that the seven members of BTS were involved in waves of hate and rumors online due to the fierce legal battle within HYBE. The article also pointed out that the Korean media are spreading all kinds of rumors about BTS, including allegations of affiliation with specific groups and involvement in Sajaegi. 

The French media outlet also reported that while overseas media did not gain much traction due to lack of evidence, the Korean press extensively covered the issue. They mentioned that Big Hit Music has summoned legal representatives to prosecute those behind the rumors and has promised legal action after confirming the source of malicious posts. Additionally, Big Hit Music apologized for recent concerns regarding their response to rumors. They raised the possibility that HYBE might have been targeted in a smear campaign as dozens of Twitter accounts were created in April to share rumors, despite the lack of evidence. In addition, these accounts were found to have very few or no subscribers.

Furthermore, the French media outlet questioned whether a country that celebrated BTS's 10th anniversary with festivals and fireworks just a year ago is now prepared to turn its back on them. They highlighted that recently, Jungkook was selected as one of the 100 most influential Asians by Gold House, a non-profit organization supporting cultural and artistic figures in the Asia-Pacific region.

Foreign medias are not the only ones who think that South Korea is being harsh on BTS.

International ARMYs are expressing criticism on social media using hashtags like "SOUTH KOREA APOLOGIZE TO BTS" to voice their discontent with certain Korean media and public opinion.

theqoo

-What? Am I misunderstanding the meaning of rumor?

-This just makes them more unlikeable. It's really embarrassing.

-Calling the verdict a rumor?

-Korean Court: ????

-The more they try to manipulate public opinion, the more they become disliked. Just stay still...

-It's not a rumor, it's a fact that's been revealed.

-The verdict is not a rumor,,,

-They're trying to play victim now, huh? How interestingㅋㅋㅋㅋ The victims are not that group but just all the other singers who were active in the same era.

-They're even turning facts into rumors. It's clear what kind of world they've been living in.

-What a load of crapㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-South Korea is not a Bangtan Republic where Bangtan is above the law of the country.

-They're just talking nonsense.

-Their propaganda is really disgusting.

-Rumor spreaders = South Korean judges.

-What kind of article is this???

-Sue the judge then.

-Stop it, I feel like I'm going to vomit.

-It's true that the artists under HYBE became sacrificial lambs, but it's HYBE who started it all first. 

-Whether they're victims or not, they should clarify first. I'm so tired of the Sajaegi case.

-Is the judge's verdict a rumor? The propaganda is disgusting and embarrassing.
