New Jeans announces return to Ador amid communication misfire

2025-11-12T21:33:00.003-05:00

Article: New Jeans five members return to the arms of Ador instead of Min Hee Jin

Source: News 1 via Nate

[+224, -11] They purposely released their statement after business hours and are complaining about how there hasn't been correspondence.. feels like they're blaming others until the very end

[+208, -13] They can start by paying back the losses Ador suffered because they haven't been promoting

[+169, -10] Did the other three surrender? Let's start by paying back the losses from not promoting

[+44, -1] They leave the company at their own free will, return at their own free will... these kids have no standards at all. Funny until the very end.

[+38, -0] Not one word of apology in their statement ㅋㅋㅋ

[+29, -0] They announced their leave on their own, now they're announcing their return on their own... lack of basic respect and consideration. Is it even good for Ador to keep these kids for the rest of their contracts?

[+22, -1] Their plan is probably to just take it easy until 2029 and then sign with Min Hee Jin

[+19, -1] Ador has a lot to do ㅋ especially now that they'll be carrying the three members with the worse public sentiment against them

[+19, -1] They do whatever they want from start to finish

[+8, -0] It's so obvious they're going to coast for the rest of their contract and then sign with Min Hee Jin.. just throw them out now.

[+1,415, -72] So they announced it without even talking to Ador first?

[+1,287, -83] I question their intentions ㅡㅡ definitely doesn't seem like they've reflected at all before going back

[+1,123, -57] Ador's like wtf

[+224, -11] Even their return announcement is rude

[+208, -11] They were in such a rush to release this that they didn't even talk to the one member who's in Antarctica right now and just went ahead with the announcement. I wonder what Ador's staff are going to think when they show up at the company tomorrow ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+173, -9] They're a type of villain I've never even seen before

[+161, -9] What is this???? So they announced it without even talking to Ador or anything??

[+138, -6] Seems they really don't want to budge an inch on their pride ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ when you're in the wrong, it's best to just bow down flat and apologize for your wrongs

[+127, -6] They leave when they want~ they return when they want~ I hope a good financial penalty gives them a lesson on reality

[+117, -6] These kids are the worst

[+726, -37] They really just do whatever they want.. life is so easy, eh?

[+699, -58] Just disband, I can't stand them anymore

[+621, -48] The entire nation has already seen their true colors, what's the point of returning anymore? Just go pick up some delivery jobs

[+83, -4] Quit when they feel like it, come back when they feel like it... they really think life's just that easy.

[+74, -3] I'd be too humiliated to ever get up to dance and sing on stage again ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+71, -3] This is an IQ issue at this point

[+61, -4] Greed, delusion, naivete

[+58, -0] Min Hee Jin's already got her new agency, she has nothing to lose ㅎㅎ the only people losing are the New Jeans members, but it seems they still haven't realized the situation they're in with how arrogant their announcement is when they should be begging for forgiveness to Ador

[+55, -2] Imagine if my life was this easy, that I could quit when I want, go back when I want

[+43, -3] It's hard to be this hated by the public, and they're really cementing that image...

[+38, -2] Ador hasn't even accepted them yet and they're just announcing that they're returning.. they're so gross

[+245, -13] The epitome of greed and foolishness

[+124, -2] Just keep it to the law. Don't let her and those kids think that they're above it.

[+33, -2] Lies every time she opens her mouth

[+32, -2] Sad that so many have to suffer because of her own selfish greed

[+32, -2] Where's her media play these days?

[+28, -2] Who could she blame other than herself? She's reaping what she sowed

[+20, -1] As New Jeans becomes forgotten

[+18, -3] Did she steal Bang Shi Hyuk's jacket?

[+15, -1] New Jeans is just another Fifty Fifty with more fans.

[+14, -1] Poor New Jeans kids.. it's clear they have no idea what the real world is like. Their parents fueled that delusion as well. They were the golden goose egg, and now it's all ruined.

[+12, -1] She'd be on the top of the world right now if she wasn't so greedy

[+10, -1] I wonder how she feels about ruining New Jeans. If she had succeeded in getting New Jeans out, she'd be sitting on a pile of gold right now ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Some netizens accuse Hyuna of staging faint, ridicule security for struggling to pick her up

2025-11-11T11:43:00.002-05:00

Article: Hyuna, debate over whether she staged her fainting... even security is being ridiculed

Source: X Sports News via Nate

[+888, -30] Speaking from the experience of someone who has fainted before because of my vagus nerve, you're still conscious of the fact that you're about to pass out and your eyes start looking for the floor to fall on and then you're out. You can't get up. It gets better after some time, but to accuse her of staging it is too much. And it's wrong to ridicule her security because it's extremely difficult to pick up anyone who isn't conscious. Even trying to hold up a drunk person is still really heavy. Someone who's passed out is probably 1.5 times that weight.

[+853, -26] What could she possibly gain from staging this?

[+377, -79] Her image is so trashed now

[+66, -6] No one would mess up their own concert by staging something like this. Enough with the witch hunt. The hate comments are going too far.

[+55, -6] To stage something like this means she benefits from it somehow, and what exactly has she benefited from it so far? Noise marketing? You really think that benefits her? If anything, it's just given haters more reason to go crazy.

[+45, -2] I don't even know how you could stage something like this. She's a singer, not an actress. Even at the point of passing out, the human body will always try to preserve itself. It's hard to understand for anyone who's never been in that situation. Making sure the body lands safely on the ground is instinct. If anything, we should all be glad she wasn't more injured than she is.

[+45, -3] Health is wealth

[+40, -4] Let's please just stop with the hate towards someone who is ill

[+33, -30] She really lost 10 kg?? She does not look 49 at all;; maybe 59

[+29, -2] People are so cruel

[+25, -1] She's been suffering from an illness for a while, we all need to stop

[+20, -2] You have to be really young and stupid to think this can be staged.. first of all, it's her own concert, that she's under contract with to fulfill.. no one's going to ruin that by staging something like this.

Court reprimands Min Hee Jin for her role in New Jeans lawsuit

2025-10-30T19:41:00.004-04:00

Article: Court criticizes Min Hee Jin "manipulating the media using New Jeans' parents at the front"

Source: YTN via Nate

[+608, -34] They were stuck in the middle and made out as fools

[+516, -64] The result was obvious from the start, especially after seeing all those articles being poured by Hybe, to the point where I think if New Jeans had been any non-celebrity, they might've commit s*icide over with how much pressure was being put them. I just don't want them being hurt by Ador.

[+484, -131] Very odd how this is ultimately a fight between Bang Shi Hyuk and Min Hee Jin but both have exited and are nowhere to be seen

[+102, -6] Basically the second Fifty Fifty

[+100, -10] Min Hee Jin's out there setting up a new company while New Jeans is losing in court.

[+88, -4] ㅋㅋ Wow, a lot of you paid off by New Jeans or what?? A contract is not a joke. Even the court is saying you need to stick to what you signed up for. A contract is not some pinky promise. Just stick to the contract.

[+68, -1] I honestly don't see Min Hee Jin taking care of the members anymore. The members are fools and don't yet realize that they've been used. Min Hee Jin knows that the group has only been put in this situation because of her but now that she has no use for them to help her case, she doesn't mention a thing about them anymore when she used to talk to the media all the time. She's set up her own agency and made a fool of the people who believed in her.

[+62, -3] This can all be resolved very easily if they would just give up on Min Hee Jin.

[+55, -5] In a capitalist society, who would invest in anything if a contract meant nothing? You'd be a fool to invest in someone who can leave you with nothing once they become successful.

[+53, -2] New Jeans needs to get away from Min Hee Jin. While they were in and out of court, where has she been this entire time? The girls will now have to live the rest of their lives as slaves to pay off the penalty fee and promote under that pressure to make all that money back when an idol group's lifespan is pretty much done by your late 20s.

[+41, -2] As a New Jeans fan, I don't understand what Min Hee Jin is doing. No matter how much they hated the contract, you signed it, and it was imperative that you finish out the terms of that contract at least until the end. Who would be on your side when you choose to ignore that?

[+36, -1] The group is ruined because the parents fell for Min Hee Jin

[+29, -0] I always found it weird how they followed Min Hee Jin like some cult leader

[+27, -1] Min Hee Jin's already got a new agency set up

[+26, -1] They can't seriously think public sentiment is still on their side? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+25, -0] Who would contract with them in the future?

[+24, -0] Everyone knew this would happen... everyone but them

[+1,275, -50] They look happy. Grow up well, baby

[+880, -131] Woo Sung-ah, this is forever!! Overcome it!!

[+869, -191] That poor child

[+142, -17] They look good~~ who cares about anything else when you have your baby boy with you. Now that I've lived life, you really don't need a husband, really. Fighting~

[+122, -10] I wonder what Jung Woo Sung's thinking when he sees pictures like this being released?

[+120, -14] She's raising him well. Even if the baby takes after the mother, I'm sure he'll look unique and handsome.

[+118, -5] I honestly think it's mentally healthier for women to raise children without the husband if they have the financial means to do so

[+111, -11] Honestly, all men need to do is squirt it out... but a woman must grow that baby for 10 months and go through childbirth. The love of a mother is different from a man.

[+107, -21] What else do you have in old age but your children? Jung Woo Sung will regret this.

[+89, -4] What is there to feel bad about? Sure, maybe the child will feel the absence of the father, but Jung Woo Sung has already acknowledged the baby's existence and will grow up knowing exactly who he is. Both parents are financially stable so it's not like he'll lack for anything growing up... He'll live a good life

[+79, -6] Not a bad idea to remind Jung Woo Sung every once in a while that this child exists

[+72, -9] I could never give birth to a child that belongs to a man I didn't even date..

[+71, -6] Maybe because she's a model but these pictures look great. I wish her a happy life with the baby.

[+59, -3] Whatever the case, the baby looks pretty. Who cares about whose fault anything is, all that matters is that he grows up healthy and loved

[+57, -3] Children are always innocent, may he grow up healthy

[+42, -1] I just hope no ill will comes towards the child due to the actions of the adults in his life...

[+129, -0] It's not good to be ill for this long. Her company needs to make sure she's getting treatment and keep the media attention off of her.

[+127, -2] Doubt YG even cares anymore... because it's just so ridiculous..;; ㅋㅋㅋ

[+114, -1] I hope she does well in her treatments. It's sad to see her like this..

[+21, -1] Anyone could tell that the lawsuit was written by someone of not sound mind. It doesn't even matter whether it's real or fake, the focus right now should be everyone helping to make sure that she's getting treatment. The media needs to lay off of her.

[+15, -0] Unfortunately, treatment of mental illnesses of this kind are very difficult. You can subside symptoms with medication but I don't see how treatment can help her delusions of dating, plastic surgery addiction, reliance on drugs, etc., to help. Someone either needs to be with her all the time or she needs to be hospitalized..

[+13, -0] She should not be left alone

[+13, -0] Just stay alive... I support you in your treatment efforts

[+8, -0] I hope she overcomes this

[+7, -0] There has to be a trigger. How unfortunate that this is happening.

[+5, -0] Does she not have parents or family? Someone should be by her and helping her get treatment.. what a waste of so much talent

'K-Pop Demon Hunters' Golden makes live performance debut

Source: Newsen via Nate

[+585, -29] ㅋㅋ That's hilarious. There are not many female idols who can sing live like this out of the current girl groups because they all lip sync. K-Pop Demon Hunters cannot be compared to them. I was really touched by how good they all were.

[+562, -54] The key change was barely noticeable, I'm surprised people even caught that

[+497, -45] This reporter must have really keen ears to catch that.. and yet reporters never write about Aespa's total flop lives

[+37, -4] There are barely any female Korean singers who can sing live like this

[+30, -5] You can't compare singing in a recording studio to a stage like that~ I'd rather they adjust the keys to make it fit than accidentally make a mistake

[+29, -3] Imagine your debut song being #1 on the Billboard ㅋㅋ the pressure they must be under! I'm sure the key change was just to help them feel more comfortable on stage. I have no doubt that they could pull off the original live without a problem at all.

[+28, -1] I heard she has bronchitis, but I actually found her lower voice more charismatic to listen to

[+28, -5] Funny how the media barely wrote anything about Aespa's flop live on an American show but 'Golden' was above and beyond and still have something to nitpick over

[+27, -1] Only Koreans are so obsessed with high notes and will complain about a key change like this. Barely anyone overseas will complain about a key change for a live performance ㅋㅋ

[+18, -1] I noticed the key change but their vocal colors shined right through. They have voices that only they can bring to life, so hearing it live was great. I thought the whole performance felt very clean and done well.

[+14, -4] Even the famous Whitney Houston will change keys as necessary... Koreans are too strict when it comes to just letting go and enjoying culture

{+13, -9] I personally didn't like it. Their nervousness was so apparent, and it felt like they were chasing the beat the whole time, which made the performance lack emotion.

[+13, -1] She produced this song without ever thinking she'd have to sing it live. Let's stop being so harsh on her. She made a great song, and that's it. It's not like she's going to be singing this live everywhere all the time.

[+12, -0] She did great for someone recovering from bronchitis

[+11, -1] The only people complaining about the key change are Koreans ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+40, -10] With a donation like 5 billion won, he better stand tall with his shoulders straight. He's in the leagues of the gods. Can't hate on him for that.

[+39, -8] Why does the media keep making it sound like he was driving a car

[+37, -8] It was quite a complex accident~ but 5 billion won is no easy money to give away, amazing of him to do so~

[+35, -8] Not that I'm excusing what he did but it's not like he was driving a car.. it was a kickboard.. I don't think it's right to treat this accident the same as a car accident

[+31, -10] So much fuss over an electric kickboard, ugh so sick of this

[+27, -5] Not that a donation can change the past but.. he really did donate a lot

[+26, -9] I wouldn't call this 'drunk driving'... you don't really drive an electric kickboard

[+25, -7] All that matters is that he doesn't make the same mistake twice. No matter how rich anyone is, 5 billion won is not an easy amount to give away.

IU wins best actress at the Blue Dragon Series Awards

Source: OSEN via Nate

[+788, -211] Her acting was too cringe to watch ㅋㅋ seems the standards for good acting have gone down ㅋㅋ I wonder why

[+646, -112] Meanwhile, the real actors are all suffering in the back~

[+605, -136] They had no one else to give it to? Totally won it based on fans and popularity

[+124, -20] Just cringe. It's over for the Korean acting industry. We're stuck in a generation where actors win awards based on idol fame and not talent.

[+120, -24] Best actress??? Ridiculous

[+94, -29] Huh? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ She is not best actress worthy at all~~ when I saw her two shot with Yoona in the frame... I have a lot to say but I won't say it

[+90, -15] Hul... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+84, -8] A drama being popular has nothing to do with her acting. She was in the middle of a talented cast, and she stuck out awkwardly like a sore thumb. I bet a lot of viewers are thinking she wasn't good enough to win best actress.

[+70, -3] Um Hye Ran hard carried that drama...

[+69, -7] Her acting skills were not worthy of beating out the likes of Seo Hyun Jin, Park Eun Bin, and Cha Joo Young. Look at how negatively everyone's reacting compared to when Kim Tae Ri won Baeksang.

[+68, -11] I bet the actors there were laughing at her. I think I have too much shame to ever accept something like this. Poor Park Eun Bin.

[+63, -10] IU was the biggest obstacle of that drama. Her younger years were easy to watch, but when she played her older version, the "I'm acting right now!" style of her acting was hard to ignore

[+59, -13] Imagine winning best actress after putting on such a poor performance ㅋㅋ even Lee Dong Jin was dissing it ㅋㅋ

[+56, -10] Park Bo Young won this last year... now it's IU? Talk about a drop in prestige for the award...

Source: Nate

[+672, -142] You're trying to tell me she did better than Park Eun Bin, Cha Joo Young???????? No more Blue Dragon for me

[+640, -135] Being an idol is so easy... you get all these casting opportunities off your idol name, all these awards... anyway, I lend my support to all the actors who are quietly working in the shadows today

[+621, -119] Beat out Park Eun Bin, Seo Hyun Jin ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ talk about comparing to Baeksang... really shows why Baeksang has the prestige that they do for award real talent

[+155, -133] IU, Aesoon, congrats!

[+111, -37] A capitalistic award

[+103, -37] I changed the channel. I like IU but I don't accept this award.

[+101, -122] IU did so well in her drama, congrats on the win!

[+100, -16] The actors in the crowd must be feeling so ridiculous ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ as if she even deserves the actor title ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+97, -25] Sigh, her acting was so bad though

[+83, -26] The drama itself was good, don't know about IU, though... thought Cha Joo Young would win this...

[+82, -96] IU-nim, congratulations!!!

[+80, -22] ??? Why did she win this

[+76, -25] Maybe this is why Park Eun Bin didn't attend... I wouldn't want to see this crap either. I saw Park Eun Bin's drama, and it makes no sense that IU would win over her. Maybe it's the power of Chinese money that Kakao has?

[+65, -27] ㅋㅋㅋ.... I'm just imagining how much all the actors in front of her are laughing at her on the inside

[+61, -8] Surely she herself knows that she doesn't deserve best actress?

[+57, -2] No one watched that drama for IU's acting... everyone loved the drama but we can admit IU's acting was the one flaw of the drama...

[+57, -16] It actually makes me so sad... that an idols can ruin an entire industry like this

[+53, -8] So makjang for her to win best actress ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

'Squid Game 3' earns a divided response

2025-06-30T11:36:00.001-04:00

Article: 'Squid Game 3' Director Hwang Dong Hyuk on why he changed the ending

Source: MBC via Nate

[+514, -49] The series is a flop. The best ending would've been one that was slightly corny but still fit the plot.. Just throwing it all in there to get the ending that you personally want isn't the way to do it

[+448, -33] It's a flop. You can tell he was trying to go for a sad family story thematically but it just didn't work

[+420, -26] The boat cop, the defector, the baby, just way too much going on

[+41, -3] They never should've gone with the baby plot. It would've been better if Lee Jung Jae was able to fool all of them into becoming the frontman and destroying the world from the inside out. Unfortunately, Lee Jung Jae's character never displayed that type of intelligence from the first season, so

[+38, -4] There were a lot more mainstream elements in the first season but you could tell the director was trying to get way too artistic with the second and third seasons that it just ended up flopping

[+35, -2] So what exactly was Wi Ha Joon's role?

[+33, -1] He needed to let the series be the commercial success it was meant to be. He tried too hard with all these themes and meanings for the sake of art when he needed to just let the audience enjoy what they all tuned in for... This is the biggest problem with Korean media in general, they always want to end something good with a big lesson or theme that ruins what made it good.

[+29, -6] He wants to be Bong Joon Ho so bad..

[+28, -2] While watching, all I could think was... seriously, who wrote this?

[+26, -0] The director is like Sung Gi Hoon... just managed to luck out.

[+24, -1] Even better would be Wi Ha Joon finding the island, getting a number, and joining the games. What did Lee Byung Hun even do in the third season other than sit there with a few lines? All Lee Jung Jae did was frown the entire time too... while the side characters were doing way too much.

[+24, -6] The baby's CG was so uncanny that I couldn't get into it at all ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+21, -1] The director's seen way too many Hollywood movies... that frail little grandma managed to kill her son in one shot, then sat around talking after his death, then killed herself ㅜ What mother in the world would kill her own son over some random woman and her baby she met four days ago?

[+19, -1] So many good series ruined by the writer suddenly wanting to leave a big message to the world...

[+17, -1] Still don't get the point of the shaman character

[+16, -1] Should've ended it at 1... 2 and 3 were such hard flops

Source: Nate

[+1,110, -78] The director was arrogant. Casting TOP, trying to force all these themes that didn't make sense... in the end, he alienated all of his viewers.

[+820, -82] The director just doesn't have the chops for something this big

[+97, -4] I want to know what he was writing that made his teeth fall out when there was nothing even worth watching? Seemed more like he was getting a ton of casting calls and so he wanted to get them all some good lines so he was squeezing in this and that. The season spent way too long on showing the faces during voting scenes instead of getting to the good stuff like more of Lee Byung Hun's story.

[+78, -3] The director himself was Sung Gi Hoon, riding off of nothing but luck all this time

[+64, -5] He's talking like he's some world class director ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+59, -12] I don't know that he's going to get another opportunity like this... this was probably the worst series I've ever watched in 42 years

[+42, -2] No matter what he says in these interviews, it's not going to save the fact that his drama itself flopped. No one cares that you lost teeth over writing this show.

[+38, -3] He lost teeth over writing something as pathetic as this? All the netizen fanfics were better than what he came up with in the end.

[+22, -0] It really just felt like he wrote this while being chased on time

Article: Records have been set... but season 3 of 'Squid Game' met with divided reactions and Lee Jung Jae acting controversy

Source: Star Today via Nate

[+482, -92] Was Lee Jung Jae ever good at acting?

[+439, -22] The show started and ended with a baby...

[+65, -3] Well, Lee Jung Jae was never known as an actor for his good skills... I reckon the show would've hit daebak if Lee Byung Hun led 2 and 3 as a frontman spinoff story.

[+59, -2] Switching Lee Byung Hun and Lee Jung Jae might've been more impactful. His skills would've been crazy as Gi Hoon. Lee Jung Jae always felt a bit awkward.

[+54, -0] Why was Lee Jin Wook in this? Was barely in half the season, and in the scenes we did see, he was laying down the whole time ㅋ This season felt more like a display of Im Siwan's acting skills

[+51, -2] Once the baby was born, it became too obvious... you can't help but center the plot around the baby after that. No one's going to kill a baby... I don't get why they'd include such an obstacle.

[+45, -1] No clear story of how Lee Byung Hun became the frontman, his dongsaeng just went on an island excavation the entire time before saying "hyung" once and never finding out why his hyung is even there ㅋㅋㅋ I guess the message at the end is that no matter how much you put your life on the line to win something, it's all a lotto in the end ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+36, -4] So boring, even an elementary school student could come up with a plot like this

[+27, -1] It was over after the baby was born

[+21, -2] Im Siwan's acting was the best out of them all

[+19, -2] Lee Jung Jae was a good fit in Squid Game but that doesn't mean his acting's good... his lack of skills was especially obvious in 2 and 3.

[+19, -1] Lee Jung Jae always has that same face ㅋ

[+13, -1] The older boy groups make a lot more money than you'd think even if they're not on TV or in the media a lot. Their fans have all grown up with purchasing power of their own so they can still hold private fan meets and birthday events. I know someone who's a Shinhwa Changjo and she still attends Shinhwa events and all of their birthday events. They make a lot more than you'd think.
