Joy: Yeri was originally practicing separately because she was set to debut with her friends as the center of (Red Velvet's) younger sister group


Yeri: When I was first told 'You will be joining Red Velvet,' honestly, I felt a stronger sense of loyalty to my friends. I don't know what gave me the confidence to do so, but when I was only in middle school, so I said...



Yeri: "Then I won't debut. I'll act instead."


Yeri: It wasn't that I disliked these Unnies, but it felt like I was betraying my friends. I even dropped out of school to practice, so I don't have many memories of school or school friends.


Yeri: Those friends felt like my school friends.

-It must have felt like betraying her friendsㅠㅠ But it's very heartbreaking to think about how those friends she practiced with never got to debut.

-Really... she must have been so sadㅠ Still, I'm glad she debuted.

-Understandableㅠㅠㅠ I wonder how did they eventually convince Yeri to join Red Velvet?

-At that age, it's totally understandable.

-It's really sad that all the girls from SM Rookies left.

-I hope all the other Rookies girls are doing wellㅠㅠ

-I thought the SM Rookies would surely debut. It's a shame.

-If SM Ent wasn't going to debut them, they shouldn't have made the girls public...

-It's really sad... ㅠ

-Yeri is still close with those friends. They have a deep bond since they were together from a very young age.

-It's understandable. When you're a teenager, a sense of belonging to a group is huge. Suddenly leaving friends you practiced with to join another group must have felt like a betrayalㅠㅠ

-It must have been really tough for her to experience that at such a young age.

-Why did SM make such a sudden decision... Knowing there would be backlash from adding a member out of a sudden?...  If they intended this, they should have added Yeri from the start. Was she not a trainee when Red Velvet debuted?

Red Velvet talks about behind-the-scenes of Yeri joining the group for the first time

-It's hilarious that they handed out that stickerㅋㅋㅋㅋ

theqoo

-Why is the song so short? It’s good, though.

-The song and concept are unique and nice.

-What's up with the music video quality and choreography?

-The music video looks cost-effective.

-The song is really short.

-The song is good, but the music video is...

-The song is good, and the members seem charming.

-HYBE only seems to make songs for TikTok now and doesn’t even try beyond that.

-The song feels pretty standard, but the first member to appear is incredibly charming.

-For HYBE, why does it look so low-budget?

-The song is good, but please do something about the styling.

-Oh, the song is good.

-Oh, it's better than I expected, but the song is short.

-The song is well-made.

-The song is good, but the quality of the music video, seriously? Was this the best they could do?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The song is great, but why is the music video like that?

-Why does the song sound so familiar?

-Too short.

-It's alright.

-The full version of the song is good, but I wish they put more effort into the music video.

-Why is the song so good? I didn't expect this, but I keep listening to it.

HYBE to launch a 'virtual girl group' ... The debut of 'SYNDI8'

Produced by Supertone, the AI audio technology company acquired by HYBE, the group consists of four members: Canary, Nest, Goyo, and Raven ... They released a single album titled 'MVP'.


theqoo 

-What nonsense.

-It's truly disgusting.

-That company is so shady.

-It's so annoying.

-Do they have no creativity? They're always copying. If they are upset about the controversy, they should at least make an effort to avoid it.

-Canary...?

-They waste so much money on useless things.

-They're so obsessed with Aespa...

-Everything they do is so off-putting.

-They even have the same MBTI and height? What?

-Wow, this is patheticㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is so disgusting, Bang Sihyuk.

-This is so pathetic...

-Reminds me of fish sauceㅋㅋㅋㅋ (NB: 까나리/Kka-na-ri means fish sauce)

HYBE is launching a virtual girl group, and one of the member's name is Canary

The group LE SSERAFIM is coming back.

According to a report from SPOTV News on the 28th, LE SSERAFIM is preparing for a comeback aimed at the end of August.

This comeback will be about six months since LE SSERAFIM released their third mini-album 'EASY' in February.

LE SSERAFIM has been continuously releasing hit songs like 'FEARLESS', 'ANTIFRAGILE', 'UNFORGIVEN', 'PERFECT NIGHT', and 'EASY'.

theqoo

-I'm really looking forward to it in many ways. I wonder how they will come out.

-I hope they find their own style. Fighting, fighting. HYBE, get your act together and stop talking nonsense. Think about helping them find their style. The members themselves aren’t at fault. I hope LE SSERAFIM does well without any scandals this time.

-I'm curious about how they will come out this time...

-It's really pathetic to click on the article about their comeback just to mock ㅜㅜㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I hope they practice a lot and improve their skills before coming back.

-I’m looking forward to it for many reasonsㅋ

-Oh, a comeback in August?! I’ll be waiting.

-Looking forward to the live performances.

-I hope they practice hard for the live performances.

-I wish they’d take more time between comebacks to prepare properly, but the company probably just wants to make money.

-Looking forward to seeing that determination.

-Oh, looking forward to it.

-I hope they come back with easy-listening songs in a lower vocal range.

-The comments are really nasty. Seeing such excessive criticism makes me want to support them. LE SSERAFIM, fighting~

-I wonder if they'll do an encore live performance.

-It seems too soon... their image is still bad, and YouTube and Instagram comments are still a mess.

-Well, they must have practiced singing during this time.

-Honestly, I think they'll do even better. It seems like there's a lot of interest. Fighting!

-It's too soon to have a comeback...


LE SSERAFIM to Make Comeback at the End of August... Continuing the Streak of 'Mega Hits'

Tuesday, June 25, 2024

Director: David Fincher

Notable works: Fight Club, Se7en, Gone Girl, etc.

It’s been reported that he has been preparing for the 'Squid Game' remake for the past two years. 

Writer: Dennis Kelly

Notable works: Utopia (British TV series), Matilda the Musical (film adaptation)

theqoo 

-Hul... David Fincher??? For real?????????????

-They haven't even released season 2 yet, and they're already remaking season 1??

-Why though???

-It'll be a thousand times better than the originalㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-They're remaking Squid Game??? Already????

-Wow, I'm excited for this.

-It seems like a plot and setting Fincher would like.

-Wait, David Fincher...?

-But why? Why bother?

-Please release Mindhunter season 3 instead...

-The director is reliable, but considering everyone worldwide has already seen the original, is a remake necessary? Unless it's a spinoff.

-Oh, this is going to be fun.

-They should just make Mindhunter season 3 instead, seriously, why bother...

-Why remake something everyone worldwide has already seen?

-They're always trying to change everything to their style.

-I'm curious what Fincher's version of Squid Game will be like.

-Huh??? David Fincher???

-Is there a need to make it when the original just came out?

-Why remake it so soon after it came out?

-Fincher, please make Mindhunter season 3 instead...

 Besides Ultra Super Zoom, Galaxy has various features with AI and more

And below are idol fans who are already using those features expertly

This tweet of a fan removing staff from ENHYPEN Sunghoon's picture gained a lot of RTs overseas 



 

A fan of Boy Next Door removing Park Jinyoung from this picture 

 

I've never seen this method before...

A fan uploaded a selfie of her and Jinhyuk where she turned herself into into a cactusㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So smart..

Seeing K-pop fans utilizing this variety

It seems like it's a two-birds-with-one-stone for promoting Galaxy to international fans ㄹㅇ In fact, this is how Samsung advertises this feature and it really seems like this is the real definition of synergy 

theqoo

-Cactusㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Cute

-iPhones can't do this...?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is really useful. It's good to erase people when taking pictures at crowded tourist spots

-Galaxy is really good

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Honestly, people who know how to Photoshop well don't use it much, but for those who don't know, it's a really great feature

-Is AI only available for 24 Ultra? ㅜㅜㅠ

-Really convenientㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It's only available for Ultra, isn't it?ㅠ Too bad, I guess I have to change it to Ultra

-I use that AI feature a lot these days too.

-I knew that feature could remove people from pictures, but I didn't expect it could change people to cactusㅋㅋㅋㅋ But it looks so natural, it's nice.

-The cactus looks natural.

-How do you change yourself into a cactus??????????????????

-Oh, that's nice.

-If you do that, does the image quality not decrease? I tried using an app with an eraser before and the image quality dropped ㅜㅜ

-Once you use Galaxy, you don't want to use anything else

The reason why idol fans use Galaxy (not because of the Ultra Super Zoom)
