Thread for the latest news in K-Pop

Bringing this over from the previous thread:

I feel so bad for idols. This kind of announcement is meant to be exciting and celebrated, but they always write apologies along with it. Like "sorry I had a life outside my job. Please don't hate me." The madness needs to stop. Congrats to him! And best of luck

Thanks for the news thread!

we'll focus on the normal responses then.

**dive into you** · 08-23-2021, 12:51 AM

It does

I don't understand why they have to apologise for it at all.

**Violent Delights** · 08-23-2021, 01:15 PM

The way they word it.

Good luck to them.

**dive into you** · 08-24-2021, 05:47 AM

It's great

His letter was really sweet

**pink velvet** · 08-24-2021, 07:22 AM

Good for them!

Live your lives

Twitter is crazy thinking that SM forced him to apologised. He admitted in the letter he wrote that he did wrong so I don't know what they were reading

**pink velvet** · 08-25-2021, 09:26 AM

Yeah I'm hearing a lot of chatter about it not being true and that SM often forces people to make apologies for stuff they didn't do, but I don't know about any of that and am not going to jump into conspiracy land

It's disappointing of him no doubt. I also in times like this think of western artists and how their labels would never make them apologize for stuff like this or never make them disappear for stuff like this. The difference in cultures will always be interesting and wild to me.

Here is more info:

I do think it is true since the Korean and Chinese fans are cancelling him and wanting him out of the group. Plus, they usually know more

I think SM is going to do what they did with Chanyeol and Irene and have him out of the spotlight for months.

**pink velvet** · 08-26-2021, 07:09 AM

Yeah I expect we won't be seeing him for quite some time. He'll probably be gone for the rest of the year.

**dive into you** · 08-27-2021, 05:57 AM

I think so

He probably will come back next year.

**pink velvet** · 09-06-2021, 09:50 AM

I thought this did a good job of summarizing some of what's going on with China right now and it's very um...

**dive into you** · 09-07-2021, 05:22 AM

It's pretty crazy what is happening. I heard they are banning foreign celebrities from appearing so that means if they have a dual citizenship that they won't be able to promote over there. I wonder what that would mean for WayV

**pink velvet** · 09-07-2021, 07:22 AM

I can't imagine it means anything good

It's also unnerving that they don't want any feminine looking men appearing on tv because they want to promote masculinity.
