omo, that signed poster beside your oversized uniqlo tee.. is that JiU or a Taeyeon INVU poster? But that signature doesn't look like Taeyeon's.

Haha its a signed Handong (another Dreamcatcher Member) bromide from whoop japan's set of 5 album purchase ,i would be more happy if i won the JiU signature but i don't have the luck for thay 1/7 gacha rate xD But then i gotta say that Handong's concept poster looks kinda similar to Tayeon's INVU concept haha

I actually like her more with her hair color and concept in this VillianS comeback, her other concept looks like chopper haha wth that hat.

Aww Ruan from Girls Planet? If so good for her!! She was so sweet and deserved much more, that's awesome. Is that Wang Ke also from GP too? The name is familiar to me! I think I've sworn off watching any survival shows (especially if it's an MNET one 😒) but also don't think I have capacity to care/follow any new girl groups lol. Like I am just not perceiving ILLIT/UNIS anyone else 😂

also speaking of 4th gen nugu rookies I stan wooah is back!!! 🥺💗

Yeah its the cute Hamster Ruan from Girls Planet

Ruan's vote is mostly organic i believe (minus the boost) compared to some others like the 1st and 3rd , 1st was boosted because majority of the viewers are china and its Tencent Afterall theres always the pay 2 win. No3 is miss thailand which is famouss in thailand tbh i dont see the point of her joining she is famous anyway and stealing a spot away from those who needed it more. The thailand and chinese ratio is so obvious with Tencent's agenda haha.

Oh and a funny yet sad part was there was an indian girl which is pretty talent they mention (i skipped everything which wasn't related to Ruan lol) but she got eliminated in the first elimination because india doesn't have the app to vote.

Wang Ke is from produce 48, at the 58 place i think but she didn't get further because it was rigged. I agree with your point on that and its like every now and then a group pops out and there is lots of survival shows.
Actually i dont't know much / didnt bother to watch on these survivals shows until they ended or somehow came upon them via browsing etc, like how i happen to came across the Chuang Asia 2024 when randomly searching up Santa's (Into1 - but i just like him for his amazing dancing skills) dance video then i saw ruan so i just went to watch the show LOL.

I stand by your point with the survivor shows, as i also do think that there is a high % of them favoring the members that will win & also rigging (ahm MNET offtrack but i hate SBS for rigging DC's supposed first win with Dejavu & MNET's the accusation of botting for DC's ranking in MAMA 2022 i think. haha)

-Forgot to add-
Still feel happy for Ruan , which i see people mention her improvement past the years . At least its a stepping stone for her and wang ke with a better career/future after the group disband i guess. Still they get to open up the market for thailand/ china / korea(maybe?) not sure if they will go into korea?

After looking at the 3 (korea > japan > chinese) korea's survival is still the best in terms of group's member's overall skills, then the jap and lastly the chinese ( i guess chinese one is always about the money lol and they dont really have much of the skills)

@(you need an account to see links) ohhh that is awesome! and not bad of a mark up at all, for those seats! actually I think we will have a very similar view as you, just more rows up the section. I'm glad you got to go!! 🤩 I have so many things going on between now and the concert it's definitely going to just creep up on me and I'll be surprised when it is time xD

in sad kpop news apparently Cherry Bullet is disbanding... heartbreaking for me because they're one of my favorite 4th gen groups and I especially love some of the members like Haeyoon, Bora, May who were in pd48/gp (I think gp too at least iirc) 😥 their company really did them dirty of so little promotions and effort... I really hope the girls can find success elsewhere. as tribute sharing some of my favorite CheBul songs 🥺









bsides: broken, whistle like that

I just saw the youtube video talking about cherry bullet's disbandment but i dont really know them only saw them when i watch Queendom for a brief moment

There is so many dramas going on now , Hybe vs Ador drama with New jeans and ILLIT members being victims in the war, then ILLIT's fandom name drama. Hybe is indeed a bad company .. Also LE SSERAFIM coachella controversy.

BB Girl's (Brave Girls) Yujeong left the group and they became 3 member group now, also heard that Yujeong was the one with the most fans. I also came to know brave girls from Queendom as well LOL.
