On the 19th, Jennie released a voice message through her agency’s official channel, where she referred to her fans as "Ruby" and said, "Stay tuned and see you soon."

This led to speculation that Jennie’s official fandom name might be "Ruby." The confusion deepened as singer Kwon Eunbi’s official fandom name is also "Ruby," raising concerns about a potential overlap.

In response, a representative from Jennie’s agency, OA Entertainment, clarified to Xports News, saying, "She was simply referring to her fans informally on a news page sharing updates. It was not an official announcement of a fandom name," stressing that "Ruby" is not Jennie's official fandom name.

-Haters, just admit that you're using this an excuse to hate on Jennie...

-Her company is handling this matter very poorly

-It's a relief that she's gonna change it

-Just admit that she didn't know about it and is going to change it. It seems like people make explanations and excuses more than apologies.

-What's your problem, guys?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ She already said she won't use it as her official fandom name...

-Even after she said it's not her official fandom name, people are still throwing bullshit on her. People seem to be angry a lot these days.

-She should've just apologized...

-Goodㅋㅋㅋ The company responded very quickly, I don't think we need to worry anymore. It doesn't seem like they're going to make the same mistake again anyway.

-Even after this clarification, people are still throwing bullshit on her. It seems like people are just mad because she's Jennieㅋ

-She said it's not her official fandom name, why do you guys keep whining...? Why is everyone so angry...?

-I can completely understand if some people find this uncomfortable~ It's a relief that she clarified that she won't be using this as her official fandom name~

-She clarified it already... Why are people still angry?ㅋㅋㅋ

BLACKPINK Jennie's reps clarifies, "Ruby is not the official fandom name... She just called it randomly"

-Ah...... The fandom that has been using the name before them must be really annoyed.... I feel like she won't change it and just push through with their status....

-Did they not even bother to do a search?

-She should change her fandom name

-She should change the name, especially know sensitive fandom names are in the idol industry...

-I 100% think she should change it

-If there’s someone who used it first, she should change it.

-This could have been easily found with a quick search.

-Whether it suits her or not isn’t the pointㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The fact that another group is already using the name is what mattersㅋㅋㅋㅋ Some people really love to miss the point.

-Kwon Eunbi is too active for this not to be an issue, right...? I think Jennie probably wouldn't want to use a knockoff name either.

-Ah... So Eunbi's fandom name is also Ruby

-Isn't Kwon Eunbi's fandom name Ruby?

BLACKPINK Jennie reveals her individual fandom name, 'Ruby'

BLACKPINK Jennie's reps have denied dating rumors with GOT7's Bambam.

Jennie's reps on the 19th stated, "The dating rumors are not true. The two, who have mutual friends, simply had a meal together in the U.S."

Previously, paparazzi photos of Jennie and Bambam dining together at a famous Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles were shared across online communities. The restaurant is known to be a favorite of Hollywood stars like Justin and Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, as well as BLACKPINK members.

Jennie and Bambam were accompanied by their managers and had a warm, friendly meal together. Afterward, they were seen walking and chatting with smiles, appearing close.

While the dating rumors sparked from these photos, Jennie's side has quickly clarified, putting an end to the speculation.

-It just seems obvious they're not dating...ㅎㅎ They look more like friends of a friend becoming friends.

-Was there even a dating rumor?...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I don’t think anyone thought they were datingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You can tell they look so confident hanging out together in publicㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I don't think anyone actually suspected them of dating.

-They just look like friends.

-Nobody said they were dating though?

-They just look way too much like friendsㅋㅋㅋ

-Was there a dating rumor? I only found out there was one because they denied itㅋㅋㅋ

-It really doesn’t look like they’re dating... Celebrities must be exhausted.

-Did anyone actually think they were dating???

-Bambam is close with female idolsㅋㅋㅋㅋ He looks so comfortable

-If they were really dating, they wouldn’t have gone to that restaurant, it’s a paparazzi hotspot with at least 5-6 people there dailyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-They totally just look like friendsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ


Jennie and Bambam meet in the US ... "Not dating, they're just close friends"

David Bolno has been the COO of HYBE America since 2021.

+This year, he works together with Scooter Braun and Bang Sihyuk at HYBE.

His name is no 10 on the disclosure document for this year

theqoo

-Ew

-Ugh... Why is that company so crappy and dirty?

-Disgusting

-Crazy bastard

-We need to boycott

-The fact that he's still employed makes me want to throw up

-What an amazing company

-He's still with HYBE? This is the kind of person they should be kicking out. So disgusting.

-The fact that he's still an executive at HYBE is even more shocking. I guess he's in the same frequency with Juice Bang Sihyuk??

-ARMYs should be against this person, not Min Heejin.

-It's crazy... That company is legendary...

-So dirty and disgusting

-Crazy... The fact that he’s still employed is the scariest thing

-Truly disgusting 🤮🤮🤮🤮

-ARMYs should trend this person instead of Min Heejin, who has been quiet. Are you even human?

-On top of that... He hasn't even been fired?..

It gets negative reactions because people think it sounds like a PSY's song

theqoo 

-I think it's okay for her to release a song like this once in awhile. It will only become a problem if her next releases are going to be like this tooㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It really sounds like a PSY's song

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I came to defend her, but it's definitely a PSY's song

-The song itself is not that bad, but I think it's quite disappointing because it doesn't have Hwasa's 'own color'

-I understand why some people think it sounds like a PSY's song. But it's not that bad.

-Whenever someone joins P Nation, it always turns out like this...

-I personally don't think it's that bad...

-Oh... What a waste of her singing skills...

-Oh... It wouldn't be surprising if PSY sang this.

-To bring Hwasa to the company and give her such a song...

-It sounds like a PSY's song. Where did Hwasa's uniqueness go?

-Is this the title track?

-I think it's Hwasa's first time doing this kind of song... Isn't it okay for her to try different things?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋI burst out laughing the moment I pressed the play button.

BTS' fandom, also known as ARMY, has voiced their opposition to the return of former ADOR CEO Min Heejin. Some fans expressed their opposition after Jungkook showed his support for NewJeans, which caused a stir among fans.

On the 16th, a group of BTS' fans, who referred themselves as 'members of the BTS ARMY community,' issued a statement through online communities saying, "We express unified opposition to the return of Min Heejin as CEO of HYBE's subsidiary label, ADOR."

ARMY stated, "We are all aware of the actions done by former CEO Min during BTS' military service. She had consultations with shamans with the intentions to harm BTS and she also attempted to manipulate Korean media to create negative public opinion about BTS and ARMY. We urge former CEO Min to stop using artists and fandom as shields for her own agenda and to spread lies."

On the 11th, NewJeans held an emergency live broadcast on Youtube titled, "The Things NewJeans Wants to Say." The members expressed they still have confidence in former CEO Min and requested for 'Chairman Bang and HYBE to restore ADOR to its original state by the 25th.'

Additionally, on the 14th, BTS' Jungkook, who is currently serving in the military, posted five heart emojis and a 'fighting' emoji on his dog Jeon Bam's Instagram account, along with the caption "Artists are not guilty", leading to speculation that Jungkook was indirectly showing his support for NewJeans.

theqoo

-What does BTS have to do with Min Heejin....?;; Why...?

-Is BTS part of ADOR? Who do they think they are to oppose or approve?

-This is complete nonsense. Why are they acting like that?

-It's hilarious that they're doing this right after Jungkook showed his support for NewJeans. I've never seen a fandom prioritize a company over its members.

-What does this have to do with BTS?

-My goodness... I feel so bad for the babies. Please stop this. I actually like BTS, and there are plenty of reasonable fans, but the rotten apples always spoil things.

-Why are they acting like that, seriously? Just kick out Min Yoongi, you crazy people.

-Why don’t they mind their own business and get involved where they belong?

-There's someone else they should be getting rid of...

-Are they fans of HYBE, not BTS? It looks like they're gonna bash the hell out of the members if they don't renew their contracts.

-Jungkook must feel really embarrassedㅠ

-👁️👄👁️•••

-Who do you think you are...?

-Why do they meddle in everything and cause such a mess?

Congrats congrats 🎉🎉🎉

theqoo

-Whoa, congratulations! Will they make it to the 3rd week?

-That's crazy. Amazing. Congrats🥳🥳

-Jjang-SSERAFIM, congratulations

-Two weeks in a row. That is craaaazy⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

-Hul... At this point, they're going to make it to the 3rd week.

-Congratulations! Seems like they targeted the overseas market, and I'm relieved it’s somewhat paying off.

-Wow, congrats! Hope they make it to 3 weeks.

-That's amazing! I hope they continue to do even better. Congrats!

-Congrats, the song is great!

-Whoa, the drop from the previous week isn't too bad as well. I wonder if they can make it to the 3rd week? Congratulations!

-Pikachu!!!! Congratulations!!

-I'm an otaku, bestie~

-The MV for the English version is really great

LE SSERAFIM ranks #88 on Billboard HOT 100 at week 2

The cat's meowing, which accounts for a full minute out of a song that's less than three minutes long, carries no intention or meaning. The weightless repetition forced into the intro, outro, chorus overdubbing, and even the rap part quickly becomes tiresome, and most importantly, it steals the spotlight from the members’ voices. It seems like Teddy didn't participate in composing this song. This debut song from the first girl group under his label is frankly crude. 

The simple combination of the bass and kick drums throughout the whole song fades out due to the identical structure of both verses and the 30-second instrument break, meant to showcase the choreography, dulls the little impression the song leaves. The monotonous rhythm, inaudible lyrics, hollow repetition, and one-dimensional progression all fail. This is because the song fails to achieve one between the image they want to showcase and the message they want to convey, leaving a vagueness. If there is one thing worth noting, it’s Gawon’s vocals. But the song isn’t solid enough to highlight the individual strengths of the other members. I wonder why they think one forgettable hook song seems more important than a good piece of music you’d want to listen to over and over again?

-I agree…

-I finally finished being brainwashed and I came to actually like the songㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-But seriously, why did they make their debut song, a song they'll have to perform over and over again at concerts and on TV, something that just goes yayayayaya'?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-I love the song. I liked it even more after watching the choreography video.

-I enjoy the song because I like the group, but when I look at the song alone, it makes me question 'This is a song?'. I can't express it well, I'm not good with wordsㅋㅋ

-I love it so much that I listen to it every dayㅋㅋㅋ They're the only girl group I'm actively searching for performances of, but damn it, there are no stages...

-I listen to it every day...ㅋㅋㅋ 1 star is too harshㅋㅋㅋ

-I think it was a good song for getting their name out there, especially since there are so many girl groups now. I'm looking forward to their next song.

-I get what he's trying to say, but I still enjoy listening to itㅋㅋㅋ

-The lyrics in MEOW are literally 'yayaya'ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I started liking the members' charm more after watching their stage performances, but the song is still disappointing. Teddy, please help them out more.

-It's just so predictable and cliché... not fun at all.

-Teddy should've put in more effort since this is the first group he's putting his name behind... Even if he didn't compose it, that doesn't excuse it. Being the head of the label means you're responsible for these things...
