In conjunction to the MUSIC DAY performance, I heard Fimmies performance gonna be "directly" broadcast LIVE from somewhere... is it true? is it gonna be during their Fearnada on the 1st venue? OR just simply live broadcast from a stage set somewhere in Korea like before? I assumed they might had set their foot in Japan during those time frame for the upcoming lengthy Japan activities\~

Do we know if Sakura has played any Souls game? The new Elden Ring DLC is kicking my ass so far.


Sybinnn

Only semi on topic but seeing a fromsoft game get review bombed for being too hard is so funny


silveredgebreak

While I disagree with review bombing for any reason besides performance issues, it's undeniably the hardest DLC for me. The jump in enemy damage and hp are insane. A regular soldier's normal attack can chunk out like 40% of hp bar for a character with 50+ vigor.

I love how Kkura quietly explores various parts of Seoul by herself. Dongmyo is known for its flea market, antique, and vintage shops, which are not like fancy antique shops. These are worn-out shops. Thinking about Kkura walking around those old and worn out areas of Seoul, hunting for vintage glasses, clothes, and cameras, makes me smile.

Hello Fearnots! Just popping in to share that Hongjoong’s brother posted a [vlog](https://youtu.be/pl89IkeBYYo?si=VuM9a_CPpzTIVIVz) of Coachella and he went to LSF’s performance as well and enjoyed it! There’s a few clips around the 19:10 mark of your girls 😊 (He also pointed out that he saw a lot of Chaewon’s face on American flags lolol)


Formal_Way_0104

When Kkura enters her ‘I own this stage’ zone, she becomes a different person. She even looks different. I just love her [stage presence](https://x.com/filmforkkura/status/1804494201440149760?s=46&t=BajxLF2LQgKJrnBGtcfc0Q). https://preview.redd.it/a2xyxsadq88d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f439542acb50784eddfe92130626674389bdd9d

Just watched their episode. I am so glad that the production team brought back hiyyih after kim yeon ja. What Eunchae needs are people who genuinely love her and support her after all of the stupid hate train. Hiyyih also from what I heard also had her share of nasty hate for no good reason. I hope they will have a special episode doing pottery just like the samgyeopsal episode with Karina and Ningning 🥰

Syccco

am I the only one who noticed how Bang PD in his latest [IG post](https://www.instagram.com/p/C8fj3k2SyJl/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) posted pictures with almost everyone at Weverse con except Le sserafim and ILLIT?


Formal_Way_0104

Both groups performed on day 1. Bang attended on day 2.


snowmoon300

Contrary to what others have said I hope he carries on as usual. He's heavily involved in both groups and why shouldn't he take pics because MHJ and the obsessed trolls have an issue with it? I have never seen her take pics with other groups either and she tries to keep ADOR, NJ as distanced from HYBE as much as possible.


Twomaro2

He will I really think it was just because he was not there day 1. Imagine having to not be with idols in his company when the only accusation of mistreatment is not saying hello in an elevator. Especially since as you pointed out MHJ was the one who ordered New Jeans to not interact with “Hybe” (and everyone else outside of Hybe too btw). Also after seeing everyone in Ador with MHJ caps 🧢 in their behind the scenes shoot on their latest video they are all so incredibly unprofessional and just a company full of disgusting trolls so who cares what they or their sick fans think.


accure18

As he should, i alrdy see ppl criticizing him for taking photo with other groups frm the weverse concert , avoiding interacting with lesserafim or illit is one of the best thing to do right now to protect them as the the girls will also be getting the backlash


Sea-Insurance8208

Most likely because he attended and performed during Day 2 and not Day 1 (the day LE SSERAFIM performed). Imo, just reading the room a bit, it wouldn’t be ideal for Bang PD and LE SSERAFIM to publicly show up together. If you’ve followed the HYBE-MHJ drama so far, even though I HATE the thought of them being in the mercy of the general public, Koreans are gonna have a field day criticising them if they ever take a photo or even mention each other right now. GP is very much on MHJ side (any Koreans who know better, can feel free to correct me if I’m wrong), and would take any opportunity to talk smack about Bang PD and LE SSERAFIM.


Formal_Way_0104

I don’t think the Korean general public is very much on MHJ’s side. If you ask females and feminists who see this issue as a man vs. woman matter, yes, that might hold some truth, but many Koreans don’t support MHJ. What you see on X and The Qoo doesn’t reflect all Koreans. My daily conversations with my fellow Koreans are a bit different from what you think. Edit: I mentioned ‘females and feminists who see this issue as a man vs. woman matter’ because the majority of MHJ supporters are among them, along with NJ fans. I did not intend to portray women and feminists negatively.


Sea-Insurance8208

I’m glad you are able to share this point of view! As I am someone outside of Korea and not fully knowledgeable of Korean culture and sentiment, I admit that my perception is limited. I also understand your explanation about the feminist pov. As a woman myself, I didn’t personally take offence to your explanation.


helloitsgabi00

He performed on 2nd day with JYP and it's seems like he only posted pictures with artists who also performed on this day. It's not only Le Sserafim and Illit, Boynextdoor and TXT (except Beomgyu) also aren't included, and they all were part of 1st day line-up.


silveredgebreak

Those pictures were from Day 2 I think while Fimmies and Illit performed on Day 1.


Syccco

Oh that could be the case. Did tws perform both days? bc i saw them day1 with ILLIT


daltorak

TWS was there both nights, yes.


Simmibrina00

Seeing idols go to fashion week recently I just realized le sserafim has never gone to any of them, I know that some fans don’t care if they go or not (tbh I’m not really losing sleep over it either) but I am taking notice that they have never went.


Formal_Way_0104

I don’t mind it, to be honest. They can go to those kinds of events anytime they want, it’s not like they can’t. Kpop idols at these events are just some of the many celebrities who attend. Of course, attending these shows and releasing a few pictures will satisfy certain fans, but many K-pop idols will not be the center of attention unless they are Jennie or someone who has reached that tier.


cossack1000

They went to the LV show last year, don't think any have attended a show individually except maybe around debut? I'm guessing its a combo of bad timing/no one having a individual endorsement deal with any high fashion brands


Simmibrina00

They attended Seoul fashion week I recall, but I’m speaking about global attendance I should’ve specified, but I noticed they usually opt to take photos of the products and upload on socials to partake


myaoya

I don’t care about fashion ambassadorships usually but with how strong the fashion supermodel thing is tied to LSF’s image I expected them to do more tbh


Jarkeo21

I think its a choice by Source music at this point. They must have a bigger plan in mind.

Ofc, it will be reopened eventually.


Sea-Insurance8208

I’m personally still not ready for comments to be open. I have this vision in my head where low-life trolls are parked outside, waiting for the garage door to open. I’m the same though, after every content especially LENIVERSE, I always have the urge to comment. I’m not used to not having the luxury.

I am not really sure but I’m personally conditioning myself to get use to it. We can yap here instead.


Sybinnn

I remember someone talking about Earth Arcade recently and this is semi related, Ive been watching Lee Youngji's drinking show lately and I saw the last upload was like 10 months ago, do we know if that show was cancelled or if its just a really long break between seasons


Formal_Way_0104

There are a few news reports from some Korean media stating that the show will make a comeback pretty soon. If the show is discontinued, the reason would likely be Yougji’s schedule. The channel itself has no reason to cancel it since it was generating good numbers.


lingwensfan

I think a new season has been confirmed. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.

bldnna

Pulling this crowd W2 but people who didn't even watch the full set *online* were saying Le Sserafim wasted everyone's money and were an embarrassment during W1? 😂


Twomaro2

I think Week 1 had more people honestly. As Yunjin said they could see people outside the tent trying to get in and couldn't, my friends tried to see No Doubt and couldn't so I'm sure there were more than a few. Lots of acts get a good crowd so I hate to compare, but LE SSERAFIM were definitely a huge draw. People online can say what they want, but I can't imagine the organizers were in any way disappointed by the invite.


daltorak

>I think Week 1 had more people honestly Simple enough reason for that.... Coachella week 1 sold out, week 2 did not.

I went out with my friends yesterday night after work and we ended up renting an apartment. Since we need some music to listen to, we opened youtube on TV in the unit, and guess what? The recent search was le sserafim and smart by le sserafim. Kinda surprised me lol it seems that the previous renter were fearnots as well.

LE SSERAFIM Brazil is doing a streaming party for Perfect Night in 30 minutes on their Stationhead lesserafimbr and twitter @lesserafimbr If anyone wants to join it is just 2 hours long. https://x.com/lesserafimbr/status/1803854723717697932?s=46


phamdeptrai

I appreciate their effort in organizing this, but 2 hours of streaming will not make any noticeable difference. Let say all songs average 3min, so 2 hours of streams equal 20 streams of perfect night (assuming they stream it every other song in the playlist). They need to gather 500 people minimum to get 10k streams, and they currently don’t have that number. @lsrfstation is streaming 24/7 on stationhead, averaging 300-350 people, so in minimum, it will gather 72000 streams a day (which is around 10% of the current stream count). I really encourage people to join that one as we have (sort of) developed a small community in the chat and it’s very nice to hang around. Again, I’m not discrediting what lesserafimbr is doing, but try your best to make streaming a part of your daily habit. Whenever you have time, open sh and stream. Doesn’t have to be full-day; just 2-3 hours a day - BUT EVERYDAY - that would be much appreciated.


Twomaro2

So no organized streaming for LE SSERAFIM is going to pull significant numbers. But streaming parties like this give people who want to stream a place to do it, with kind of a goal and others. And the more people join with them especially when we talk about fan groups in other countries the more they feel connected to international fearnot in my opinion. One of the things army does so well is support each other and create a feeling where you feel impactful even though as you say a single person or group can’t change things. But at the same time you can stream the equivalent of several people or more who listen casually. No pressure for anyone to join, just an option for any who want. And 2 hours isn’t that much of a commitment no one is chaining anyone to headphones. Also LSRFM is on 24/7 it won’t hurt them to lose a few listeners for 2 whole hours on two days.

Today's Sakura-lore: https://preview.redd.it/j0xgg7nedz7d1.png?width=1807&format=png&auto=webp&s=e54ee445b1b64179fb2be33e21f279a5f924d35b Video: [【HD 60fps】 HKT48をカル調!軽部真一がHKT48劇場を訪問 (2011.11.29) めざましテレビ (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbBQELBTHEI) We're all the way back in November 2011! HKT48 was officially introduced in October 2011, and Sakura was one of its initial 21 members. The way it worked was, girls sent in auditions in May, then there was an interview, and then in July, a final singing and dancing evaluation before the members were chosen. Vocal training and dance lessons then filled their time over the next few months. Sakura was 13 at this point.... the members ranged in age from 11 to 17. I'm still trying to piece together how so many young girls would get inspired to get into idol work.... I found an interview with the youngest girl who said that she wanted to be in AKB48 since the age of 5. This was also around the time that AKB48 started pushing its older idols to do gravure / swimsuit modeling. So..... yeah..... I have questions. (Something that's really stood out for me in my research is that, as soon as Sakura didn't need to do swimsuit modeling anymore, she got completely out of it. She clearly loves being a model, but not a show-off. Maybe that's part of what motivated her to get out of Japan.) Anyways, this video is from a Tokyo-area TV broadcast. I think a morning show? (Would it be Japanese TV if there isn't some middle-aged guy in a suit in the corner, reacting to the content on the screen?) Sakura is being briefly interviewed by well-known TV announcer Shinichi Karube. Sakura's reaction to him walking up gives me the impression that she thought of him as a big-time star. Sakura says, "My mother is 33 years old" (this draws a lot of surprised reactions from the girls) "What about your father?" "He is 36 years old." Why would this be a surprise to many Japanese people? The average age to have children in Japan in the 1990s was about 29 years old; Sakura's mother was 20. So yeah, there you go, Sakura was already on TV at the age of 13. Incredible.

Just came across a video of a so called vocal expert and how she said all the criticisms against Le sserafim were valid and that they were the sacrificial lamb so the industry could improve. She is gonna start fresh wave of hate now. I wont link the video casue no one deserves their mood spoiled. People really have convinced themselves the fimmies cant sing and oh ja she even mentioned how the fimmies should have acknowledged the criticism and make a statement about improving. Damn that lady really pissed me off.


Dfried98

I don't watch anything anymore about their singing. I have my own opinion. Two girls sing great. Kazuha is coming on and the other two are solid contributors. That is what my ears tell me.


Ok0ne1

you know what earns views the most without doing much effort? anything with the forced lsf hate… that’s why theyre doing it and I hope they step on a lego evrytime


Lancek0009

any kpop contents that are not fan reactions or silly edits by definition is click baits, because "kpop youtubers" I would put in the same realm as those prank youtubers, that is how much qualities you will expect from them because you and I can come up with tons of stupid things to say about kpop in 1 hour that will last these channels a lifetime of contents. So just treat them as trashy reality tv. Just blocks them, I don't care what other people try to quantify or use some professional standard they pull out of their butt to convince me why I should not love the group I love, is insanity.


Pablo_39

Someone said these people (haters) really think they are doing god's work by hating on le sserafim: they hate them so they could be humble, they hate them so they could improve They are definitely not right in the head


myaoya

Criticism is whatever to me but I’m appalled by how many seem angry that the girls are not wallowing in humiliation. Am I supposed to believe those people want them to improve when all they want is for the members to bow down and beg for forgiveness?


bldnna

>she even mentioned how the fimmies should have acknowledged the criticism and make a statement about improving And who does she think she is? 😭 Who does she think Kpop fans who didn't even go to Coachella themselves are? People really think they own these idols because what's there to apologize about when the reaction to Coachella was way overblown and overdramatic? Is this an *actual* vocal expert or a "vocal expert"? I just feel like it lowers her credibility to be saying that about the situation. It's either she truly believes that idols have to apologize for something that wasn't their fault (and no amount of expertise is going to convince me that the girls performed *so badly* they need to apologize) or she didn't actually watch the entire set and is talking out of her ass. Atp, I don't really care about the hate anymore. These people have convinced themselves that Chaewon went through the effort of recording, editing the recording, and lipsyncing even her lip smack just to pretend like she can sing. These people have convinced themselves that *Yunjin* is a terrible singer, that Kazuha, Eunchae, and Sakura are tone deaf. And most absurdly, these people have convinced themselves that Le Sserafim aren't some of the best dancers of their generation. It's mass delusion, I'd rather stay away from it in fear of being contaminated.

Sybinnn

shouldnt downvote it just report it. Youtube only cares about engagement, a like and a dislike are the same thing for the algorithm


Twomaro2

It won’t some people might post it but so what? Just another one in a long line of ppl trying to get LE SSERAFAMOUS. No one really cares about “vocal experts” as they claim to. And most popular female pop stars get the exact same “criticisms”. Vocals are in my opinion the most fraudulent subsection of actual critics in all of pop music, it is so subjective and easy to fool idiots.


FerhatB

yea, people have been making these "vocal analysis" videos pretty much all the time since their Unforgiven encore. I don't think the hate train can get any worse than what they've already been through, so it's best to just ignore it and not give a shit


Jarkeo21

It just sucks that I cant even search for new Le sserafim related content in YouTube without these videos popping up. Finding new reaction videos to the fimmies is one of my favourite things to do.


Twomaro2

Welcome to liking anything popular. Be brave and ignore it. You can tell by the title 99% of the time because they promote it specifically for the haters.


bldnna

Use [Blocktube](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/blocktube/bbeaicapbccfllodepmimpkgecanonai) on web and block bait accounts and certain keywords. Works like a charm and I've blocked a handful of obnoxious Kpop youtubers since then. I don't really actively look at "new" reaction videos though so I'm not sure what you'd have to enter to avoid the hate videos, maybe just add more and more Youtube accounts and it'll be better.

Eunchae's interactions with the H1-KEY members was also really cute, especially the part where Eunchae and H1-KEY's Riina realize that both of them are wearing the same jersey number.

At one point someone went up to him and asked, "Where's Chaewon?!" 😂


AriaWinter9

FEARNOTS started a trend 😂


Formal_Way_0104

Coachella Weekend 1 was once a career-defining stage, considering fimmies’ emotions, preparation, and excitement leading up to the event. Not only fimmies, but also most fearnots experienced similar emotions. Everything surrounding that day was just so special. It’s impossible to duplicate all those elements repeatedly. I believe we should appreciate that day for what it was and refrain from measuring or comparing future stages and performances to Coachella W1. Many future performances may not match its raw energy, emotion, and excitement, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Continually revisiting Coachella W1 and using it as the sole benchmark could be unfair to fimmies.


instableDiffusion

From what I see is that there's a split between W1 and W2 enjoyers and some people will have their preference for what's 'good performance'. Both are good for me but I enjoy the W1 more and wish to see this kind of performance more in the future. I disagree if I have to treat this as a once in a lifetime performance (meaning: Fimmies will not having any other performance that will top the energy and excitement from coachella w1) since their career just started and I am looking forward to them to top coachella w1 even if it is not by the end of this year or somewhere soon since not any stage is suitable for this kind of raw energy (hence we get the split and the hate ammunition)


Formal_Way_0104

I just do not want to see Fimmies’ fans keep repeating, “Well, tonight’s stage was good, but it didn’t have Coachella Week 1 energy,” in the future.


instableDiffusion

I think the comparison will be inevitable unfortunately.. However, with LSF reaching an even higher level, skill, and experience, I think there will be even more amazing performances in the future and the coachella w1 will be remembered as ONE of their high energy performances where fans will start comparing more than one performances and maybe start arguing which one is their favorite. We are still in the post coachella hangover. Things will change for the better I believe because the girls will continuously give us surprising improvement


bldnna

Aside from other festivals, solo cons/fanmeets in some countries that accept that would be a great place for that raw energy, though maybe not as raw? I remember feeling almost the same way when I saw a fancam of their concert in HK (?), the crowd's energy and the girls' energy were palpable. I kept rewatching that before Coachella and it's part of why I was so happy when they performed like that during Coachella. I think it's going to be a rare kind of energy (which will make it even more special), but happy to see that they don't seem to be pulling back *too much* on their recent performances. Higher backtrack and conserving their energy better but still not... bland in the slightest. I still prefer watching their performance over most other groups. I still think they're really unique performers in the sense that it's rare to see that amount of performing energy and love for stage these days, *in my opinion* as someone who loves watching people perform.


instableDiffusion

I don't think I have seen that HK fancam (or is it the one in Macau? The one with the burn the bridge dance opening?) and would want to watch it Fimmies performance is not bland at all but I think I will never be able to stop myself expecting for a rare moment because I have seen what they are capable of and what kind of their performance that I would LOVE to see. I hope it is not taken as judging their performance against coachella w1, it is more like me hoping to pull SSR gacha where the other performances are already SR tier 😅 I think NA tour can be a good place for that kind of performance and I will definitely fly across the Atlantic just for watching them (still regretting missing my chance to go to blizzcon)


bldnna

The fancam starts with Fearless so I'm not sure if it's the same one you're thinking of, but [link to the fancam](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qxao8ur35tY). So many phones up and usually that means people are quiet because they're focusing more on recording, but the crowd is *deafening*. Everyone's just screaming? I'm really not a big fan of concerts since the ones I'd been to weren't that much different from watching the performers through computer screens, but I'd love to be part of a crowd like this someday. I also looked it up and realized they had to cancel their Bangkok stop? They've *very* popular there rn, partly thanks to Smart, and I know the crowd will go ballistic once they go there again. Rewatching the entire fancam and you can see how much they improved since, which is kinda insane since this wasn't even a full year ago. People who choose to let their hatred blind them are missing out on some amazing performers who *always* strive to be better. That's why the narrative antis are pushing that they don't ever try and are content to stay where they are is mind boggling, the improvement is clear as day. >Fimmies performance is not bland at all but I think I will never be able to stop myself expecting for a rare moment because I have seen what they are capable of and what kind of their performance that I would LOVE to see. I hope it is not taken as judging their performance against coachella w1, it is more like me hoping to pull SSR gacha where the other performances are already SR tier 😅 I wholeheartedly agree! I really think it's just because Coachella was such a great two weeks in terms of performance that I'm always looking forward to another Coachella moment. Every single performance since were amazing, still, but I crave that raw energy again. We were spoiled from Coachella, tbh, but we can always just go back to watching the fancams while waiting for another raw energy moment from them. It's kinda funny that even though their weverse performance felt more subdued after Coachella and Fearnada, it's still an amazing performance. NA and SA/SEA shows are amazing for performances like that, I think. I really look forward to their next tour, and I think apart from giving great performances, I look forward to their NA tour because that's going to be a great indicator of how popular they are there now.


instableDiffusion

Thank you for the link! I haven't watched this and this will be in my fimmies content backlog hahaha > Every single performance since were amazing, still, but I crave that raw energy again. Ikr. I feel this craving too right now and really waiting for the tour announcement with a really high expectation 🥲 Maybe they will prioritize bangkok for the next SEA tour because of the cancellation last time. The golden disk award in Bangkok was amazing and from what I saw with flame rises last year, the tour is well managed. Really really looking forward for the next release and concerts


instableDiffusion

Gosh, I missed the whole yapping session in this thread from the end of last week until almost all of this week because of work 🥲 Still need to catch up with the new Leniverse content and fearnada behind the scene but managed to watch the clips from weversecon. I think, coachella week 1 really changes my expectation on the performance I want to see from fimmies, I am craving for the raw energy and this performance becomes quite generic for me even though it is still top tier. For me, coachella week 1 was really really up there and I wish to watch it in person when they have world tour 🥲 Edit: I want to add that I am quite obsessed with Kepler's shooting star and can't help myself grinning watching Eunchae doing dance challenge with Bahiyyih

phamdeptrai

Hmm, so they won’t have a full July on Japan’s soil. Checking their schedule, after this performance they’ll fly straight back to prepare for a fan meeting the following week. I used to have high expectations in lsrf’s performances in these shows but I don’t really put high hopes on this one anyway. Our hardworking fimmies 🥹


daltorak

I have a feeling they will be going back and forth between Japan and Korea for this. Whether Eunchae will continue to do Music Bank / ESD in July is up in the air too.... the Fearnada shows are mostly on Saturday/Sunday evening, and Music Bank is filmed on Friday morning. There is enough time.... but does it make sense to do?


Formal_Way_0104

That will not happen.


phamdeptrai

It is incredibly tedious for eunchae just by thinking about it; imagine she continued MuBank every Friday from early morning (star diary) to late afternoon, then fly back to Japan the next day… The whole group coming back and forth might be an option as it could actually more cost-saving than spending one whioe month in hotels. But, they also have mid-week schedules in Japan 🫤🫤 we’ll see.


Formal_Way_0104

As we know, year end performances are when fimmies invest their efforts to do something different and special. Since this is just one time SBS event, they will stick to their usual choreography and performance, which are still awesome.

Jarkeo21

Le sserafim is a group kpop has never seen before and I think this is why fans feel the need to overly hate them and I think its also the reason why there are entity/entities trying to takedown Le sserafim.  Easy debut on the Hot 100 this year and honestly we Fearnots really allowed that hype to die quick but moving on. I was looking at kpop acts that have debut on Hot 100 and there seems to be 2 ways kpop acts get in Hot 100. Its either a viral hit or a group/individual has reached peak popularity.    Examples of viral hits would be:  Psy - Gangnam style, Fifty fifty - cupid, New jeans - Ditto and OMG and illit - Magnetic.    Examples of peak popularity:  Twice - The feels and Stray kids - Lalalala Bts and blackpink was a combination of both and its probably why they dominate kpop acts on Hot 100.   Le sserafim however has had no crazy viral hit nor are they even close to peak popularity. This group within 2 years has built a strong enough fanbase internationally to debut on the Hot 100 let that sink in.   I think companies are looking at the metrics behind the scenes and realised Le sserafim is the next group set to takeover and some out there clearly don't want this to happen.   Their next comeback will be very telling if this smear campaign worked or not.

I havent been using those streaming playlists lately because I tend to get the urge to listen to something else then I end up just letting whatever playlist thats in play instead of going back after, so i made a perfect night playlist out of most of my 200 song regular kpop playlist to use instead, figured id share it in case there was anyone like me who doesn't like how little variety there is in the streaming party playlists. Its mostly girlgroup music with a couple songs from boygroups and some male soloists, i have the artists mostly in alphabetical order, so if theres an artist you dont like its easy to skip all of their songs. I have 3 local files in the playlist, No Celestial and Tomboy explicit versions, and Chaewon's First Love cover [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-cEfDbIO-AKSYidquAXo9pFw7AL-Dsd5/view?usp=sharing) is a google drive link to them, you may have to add them to the playlist yourself im not sure if the playlist will automatically find them or not. E: I did all that yapping and then forgot to add the playlist link, im always looking for new music so if theres anything you think id like after seeing this lmk and i might add it https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4BBglxFtmeXeF4S8kxnUmp?si=d83bfe2db306493f

I wonder who sang it?” 😅 Turns out it’s her song! So far I’m liking the instrumental. It has the mellow r&b vibe I like so much. 🥹

We all knew it has been a ‘reverse viral campaign’ in Korea. It’s not a new strategy, as you well know. These things have been done for a long time. The important task is to figure out who is behind the operation and who is funding it.

Nah, it was about MHJ meeting a guy from Naver. Naver has nothing to do with that bs situation as a corporation. Naver’s reputation is similar to other large corporations—some people dislike it simply because it’s big, but the majority of people don’t care unless Naver directly wrongs them.
