theqoo

-She looks like a peach, so pretty

-So beautiful... Reminds me of Ice Cream Cake days...

-Wow, so fresh and pretty!

-How does she suit that hair color so perfectly? So pretty.

-Yeri, you're really too prettyㅜㅜㅠㅜㅜㅜㅜ

-Absolutely gorgeous but cute tooㅠㅠ

-So incredibly beautiful.

-It reminds me of her debut days...

-So pretty.

-So pretty, looking forward to the comeback!

-Her blush on and hair color suit her so well...

-Wow, so pretty.

-Is Red Velvet having a comeback?!

-Human peach, so pretty.

-Wow, the hair color itself is so pretty... What color is that?

-Yeri doesn't seem to age.

Fans React Positively to Red Velvet Yeri's Newly Dyed Hair Yesterday

 Liz is often mistaken as a foreign member in Theqoo and other online communities. Except for Kong-soonie Rei (Japanese), all five members of IVE are Korean. 

Liz's real name is Kim Jiwon, born in Jeju Island

 

In addition, International fans also often ask whether she's foreign or half-Korean. I don't know how it became a meme, but there's this joke about Liz being a German (German Liz) 

 

International fans are calling her 'Liz German' as a joke, right? They keep saying she's German...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Our Jiwon is a Tangerine Princess who has a tangerine farm...!

She was born in Nohyung-dong, Jeju City. I guess they call her that because she has distinctive facial features and Western-ish looksㅋㅋㅋㅋ

It seems like the reason she's often misunderstood as a foreign member is because she has distinctive facial features and Western-ish looks + her name is Lizㅋㅋ

theqoo

-Wow, I thought she was half-Korean until nowㅋㅋㅋ

-The other members all have Korean names, so I also initially thought she was a foreigner because her stage name is Lizㅋㅋ 

-Kim Jiwon was born in Jeju City, Nohyeong-dong, at the Jeju Future Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic.

-Oh, I've heard about the meme made by international fans, saying that Liz's real name is Elizabeth Helga Müllerㅋㅋ

-Wow, I also thought IVE had two foreign members...

-She kinda reminds me of Jeon Somi, so I thought maybe one of her parents is a foreignerㅋㅋㅋ

-She's sooo prettyㅋㅋ

-Liz is gorgeous.

-Why Germany out of all places, though?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-In her graduation photo, she looks Korean, but when she dyes her hair, she really looks half-Korean... So beautiful~~

-The stage name 'Liz' suits her really well...

-I think she looks like she's from Uzbekistan.

-I think it's because she looks like she's of German descent...

-How can her graduation photo look like that? She's so beautiful.

-The German Liz meme started because of her outfit in the "Eleven" music video; it looked like traditional German attire.


IVE Liz Often Gets Misunderstood as a Foreign or Half-Korean Member

I had this playing softly in the background, like background noise, but suddenly I heard something interesting. So, I checked on Twitter, and yup, the fans were already talking about itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He seems to like this type of song, but I wish he'd try different types of songs instead of just sticking to soothing ballads all the time... I feel like he's not using his voice to its full potential by sticking to one genre.

International fans are furious to read this Tweet, the Quotes are filled with them saying things like, "Let him do whatever genre he wants"

theqoo

-International fans, regardless of the fandom, are like natural disasters, seriously...

-Learn Korean... -_-

-If you read the automated translation on Twitter, it does sound like the OP is saying it angrilyㅋㅋㅋㅋ But before quoting it, shouldn't International fans do some research?

-D.O. sings so well, wow... I knew it already, but he's really good.

-That's right, learning Korean might not always help with understanding nuances. English translation is possible, but there are often subtle differences that we might not understand either.

-Oh, the translation got off track. It's a waste of his treasure-like voice to limit himself to just one genre. The OP meant they wish he'd try various genres, the OP didn't mean that his current genre is a waste of his voice.

-It would be fun if he sang various genresㅋㅋㅋ

-It seems like International fans always cause trouble regardless of their fandom, it seems like they have a lot of complaints. Kyungsoo is really good at singing, and he's good at acting, and he's really good at singing too. I hope he tries various genres since he's so good at everything. He's so good, I hope he tries more things.

-It was translated as "such a waste," so maybe they understood it as his current genre being a waste of his voice... No, that's not the meaning......

-For world peace, Do Kyungsoo should sing pop, ballad, R&B, and hip-hop equally.

-I've seen this situation happen several times before. I think don't think it's because of the culturals difference, it's just International fans that refuse to understand cultural or language differences, and they're discriminating against and hating Korea.

-Can't he try an R&B solo once?

-It seems like the translation is coming off as complainingㅋㅋㅋㅋ. If you translate the English quotes, they're all not complaining and actually respecting his choiceㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Let him do what he wants to do.

On the upcoming episode of SBS's "Running Man" airing on the 12th, Byun Wooseok and the cast go back to their high school days. In a recent recording, Byun Wooseok wore a school uniform and pretended to be a student going to school. As soon as he stepped into the scene, he received a confession from an unidentified high school student. 

theqoo

-I'm watching 'Running Man' for the first time in 7-8 years because of Byun Wooseok

-It's already fun...

-Already looks fun, definitely gonna watch "Running Man."

Despite being a group with 10 years of experience, Seventeen has gained a lot of new fans recently, and these series have had a significant impact on the members' relationships.

Among them, "The Game Caterers" is still the top when it comes to attracting a considerable number of new fans, and Na Youngseok's shows could be engraved on a tombstone after Na Young-seok dies.

-I became a fan through 'The Game Caterers'ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I became a fan through Nana Tourㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Muggles around me mostly became fans through Killing Voice and Nana Tour.

New Jeans' Hanni

Australian name: Hanni Pham

Vietnamese name: Phạm Ngọc Hân

Both of her parents are Vietnamese,

Hanni herself is an Australian-born Vietnamese Australian.

theqoo

-I thought she was Korean

-I thought she was Korean-Japanese

-She's just too cuteㅠㅠ Why does her nationality matter when she's so cute and talented?

-Hanni is really, really prettyㅠㅠ

-I thought people call her 'Pham Hanni' because it's her nickname...

-Wow, she's not even mixed, she's a real Vietnamese personㅋㅋㅋ

-Then is Hanni famous and popular in Vietnam?!

-She looked like Sulli in her early debut days, so I thought she was Korean.

-She looks more like a Chinese than Vietnamese.

-She must be extremely popular in Vietnam too.

-Ah, so that's why they call her Phamㅋㅋ I thought Pham was a nickname, but it's actually her real name

-At first glance, she looks Korean, but looking closely, she doesn't look Korean, she has a foreigner vibe

-Even her surname is really adorable...ㅠㅠㅠ

The celebrity who many people surprisingly didn't know was Vietnamese

The real identity of Baek Inhyuk is Lee Seunghyub, a member of N.Flying 

I'm not a hardcore fan or anything (though I do enjoy their music), but lately I've been seeing a lot of posts saying that N.Flying's songs are good, so I thought I'd drop by to recommend a song or twoㅎㅎ

All of the songs I mentioned here are written and composed by Lee Seunghyub.

Blue Moon

I like the chorus, but many fans seem to like the intro too.

Into Bloom

An emotional song st.

Firefly
It kinda has the 2000s..? vibe

Rooftop
I'm putting this in because I think it's their representative...? song

Autumn Dream
For those who know a little about N.Flying, this might be a commonly recommended song

Crossroad
This song is more on the calmer side

Flashback

There are songs where the live performance is better than the audio. This is one of them

Q. Why did they change the personnel?

A. The bassist and drummer went to the army and were replaced by session musicians.

Video Therapy
The instrumental sounds of this song are good.

Songbird/Moonshot
Both songs are good. Songbird is a rearranged song.

Sunset 
A cheerful song

Shooting Star
Emotional song.

Up All Night
It's not often mentioned by fans because it's not a self-composed song, but it's good.

theqoo

-STARLIGHT is great too!

-These days, I've been searching for and listening to a lot of their songs. There are so many good songs, like Moonshot and Flashback!!

-"I Know You Know" is good too.

-Please add "Stand by me," it's seriously a legendary song.

-Please... Please listen to "Blue Moon"! Lately, it's all I've been listening to.

-"Rooftop" is a song even non-fans like me know!

-I really like all their songs!

-Even 'Hot Potato' is good... N.Flying songs are all good... But "Blue Moon" is seriously the best...

-Their songs are really great! I also like "Flower Fantasy"!

-I'm giving my stamp of approval.

-I'm gonna check out all these songs. Thanks!

-Wow, I didn't know Inhyuk was a singer...

-There are so many good songs; "Blue Moon" is the best!

-"Flower Fantasy" is my favorite song! Please listen to it!!!

-There are so many good songs.

-All N.Flying songs are good, really.

-Wow, Inhyeok was the singer of "Rooftop"?

-I really thought Inhyuk was an actor. I hope he does more acting in the future.

-I really like "Crossroad."

-I'm putting all the songs in the post into my playlist!

-Inhyuk is handsome... and he has a good voice too. It's shocking that he's a singer.

Since I didn't apply in advance, they offered me a premium seat or something like that.

The price is twice that of a regular ticket + you must apply for reserved seats first (non-refundable) + you must enter an upgrade lottery again

If you win the upgrade, you have to pay twice the money, and if you don't, you have to sit in the designated seat.

theqoo 

-Nowadays, the idol industry has become too complicated, even reading the main text, I don't understand what it means. It feels like reading alien language.

-It seems like all Japanese concerts are like this... If it's a Japanese group, it might be even worse.

-Even after reading it twice, I still don't understand what they're saying...

-Other idols also do the same thing, but if all non-Japanese fans are sent to the designated seat as stated in the main text, then it's a problem.

-Isn't it almost always like this in Japanese concerts?

-It feels like listening to an explanation of quantum mechanics. I don't understand anything

-The reason &TEAM's fans are angry isn't really because of that. &TEAM has a long history of sending people to the third floor at Japanese concerts unless they're Japanese.

-I really don't understand what they're talking about.

-While it's true that most Japanese idol concerts use a lottery system, giving designated seats only to Korean fans crosses a line.

-Japanese concerts are always like this.

-It's annoying how they treat global fans.

-It's the same everywhere. It's just the Japanese system.
