i love giselle
Women love a man that can keep them warm when it gets cold out.
I realized yesterday that kpop is retarded, and that I am retarded
we're all just gooning and consooming. Everything we like came from a fucking corporate meeting room. Some of these bitches are in their 30s pretending to be an "idol"... it's all makeup and other crutches
Their boss tells them to amp up the sluttiness because that's what it's all about in the end. Doing the slutdance.
None of the kpop sluts can sing. They can't perform.
The only thing they're good at is acting and looking cute. It's prostitution and nothing more. I'm out.
Not to mention the music which sucks assdicks. Nothing but 4/4 electro pop crap.
why is yves pandering to the male gaze?

Below is a Q&A with CEO Kim Tae-ho.
Q. What made you decide to once again speak directly regarding the issue of similarities?
I find it unfortunate that what we are saying isn't being well conveyed. Since we are a label under HYBE, there are things we can't freely say. There are such difficulties, and what we need to explain involves very detailed parts. It's actually not easy to actively explain this issue and clearly convey our position.
When the concept photos were first released and the controversy over similarities arose, we thought it was a fate that groups debuting after NewJeans, who were so successful, had to endure. We believed this issue would naturally subside once our songs and music videos were released. However, after our debut in March, this issue began in April, and attacks on ILLIT have not stopped since then.
Even when ILLIT debuted and was achieving remarkable results that deserved more congratulations than anyone, they were embroiled in plagiarism controversies, causing not only emotional damage to the members but also significant impact on the staff working at the label. Hoping that this situation would somewhat resolve, we have been refraining from speaking, but it hasn't been resolved at all. As these attacks intensified and the image of a plagiarism group was overlaid, we had no choice but to upload an explanation video. As these issues kept repeating, I thought we should now more actively express our position, so I decided to come forward.
Q. BELIFT LAB's position on the claims that the PPT design and fonts, etc., are similar, and that some strategies/wordings ("sense of identity and longing," "influencer and creator") may seem similar?
The claim about the similarity of the document format is even absurd. Designing with text inside circles and using lines is such a general PPT format widely used across industries. It's even included in the standard templates within HYBE.

they look like they have so much fun together all the time
The keywords "sense of identity" and "longing" were already confirmed in several documents written between April and July 2023, before we received the NewJeans planning document (August 2023). It doesn't make sense in terms of the timeline at all. "Longing" is the foundation of idols. If there's an idol group that creates strategies excluding longing, that would be strange. "Sense of identity" comes from the direction of valuing communication with fans of the same generation. Is there any currently active idol who hasn't considered this in the planning stage? They are misleading by extracting such general and common words.
i only goon to the girls i like, i cant goon to girls i love
probably, i'm really tall though. i can't lift shit myself

she has disappointing legs
They say "influencer" and "creator" are the same concept, but they are entirely different. It's necessary to look at the context in which the terms were used. It's also organized in ILLIT's planning documents, but the core factor that determined ILLIT's direction is "SUPER REAL ME," which is also the title of their debut album, meaning "girls who are incomplete but love today." Since they debuted through an audition program, they might lack aspects as artists, but we wanted to highlight their strength in "unprepared raw" personalities—in other words, to show the "kids these days" as they are.
"Creator" appeared at the stage of proposing a method to directly film and edit content to show "as they are," even if lacking. It's different from "influencer," which refers to a "wannabe" existence where showing what products or brands one uses demonstrates influence. In the NewJeans planning document, "influencer" is described as an object of admiration and a wannabe, entirely different from the meaning of "creator" used in ILLIT's planning document.
They also talk about the development of the document, but regardless of the field, strategic documents basically include an overview, market analysis, strategy derivation, execution plan, and then numbers. Rather, it's a unique case if it deviates from this framework. Isn't it more abnormal to claim plagiarism just because the composition and flow of the table of contents are similar in the girl group category of the same industry?
Q. A HYBE internal whistleblower said, "I really couldn't imagine they would make it exactly the same," but isn't this clear evidence of plagiarism?
once the traitors are out, which illit and le sserafim members would you take to newjeans? they already have the billboard achievements and shit, just replace the members and americans wouldn't notice
I've seen the sakura pokies webm
Minju permanent holding back her laughter face angel...
The two documents are entirely different. Does something become the same just because someone says it's the same? Someone's baseless unilateral claim cannot be evidence of similarity. In the end, the basis used in recent reports for "exactly the same" is at the level of "using circles is the same," isn't it? Circles are even in HYBE's standard PPT format.
Looking at the images covered in the media this time, they didn't use our actual PPT document as it is but photoshopped it to look similar. They adjusted things like spacing to make it look similar.
ILLIT debuted in March 2024. That document came out in 2020. If we wanted to steal Director Min's ideas in 2023, wouldn't it have been much easier to copy the already existing NewJeans? With NewJeans already debuted, would we dig up something from before—documents created before ADOR was formed—and copy even the circles? From our standpoint, it's frustrating.
she looks like royalty

MHJ KEEPS STALLING IN COURT BECASE SHE KNOWS SHE LOST LOL
Q. How is the legal action related to the similarity controversy proceeding?
Director Min keeps postponing arguments in the civil and criminal cases, delaying the lawsuit through various methods. Unable to wait any longer, we requested the court this Tuesday to "set a trial date."
BELIFT LAB filed a complaint against Director Min last June. Even though Director Min was aware that a lawsuit had been filed, he refused to receive the court's summons three times. It was about three months after the lawsuit was filed that he finally received the complaint. Even after that, he didn't submit any materials or responses, so to prevent further delays in the lawsuit, we additionally submitted a "Request for Judgment Without Oral Argument" last week. Only then did Director Min's side submit a formal response stating, "We are reviewing the lawsuit and will provide a response within six weeks."
Additionally, another lawsuit was filed this week. ILLIT's creative director submitted a complaint against Director Min and the former management of ADOR regarding Director Min's plagiarism allegations. If Director Min is confident and certain about the plagiarism claims he has been continuously making, we hope he will sincerely engage in the lawsuits we have filed.

With the help of the Samsung police department with facial recognition and online tracking.
