XG started out like NewJeans, more subtle. Notice the Neon green lighting.I feel like XG started having all this occult symbolism after like Shooting Star, Like I cant listen to their music anymore and that makes me disappointed.
XG's videos are very demonic I tried to watch the one that recently got viral but had to stop midway because all the satanic stuff shown made me feel uneasy.XG started out like NewJeans, more subtle. Notice the Neon green lighting.

Going the Alien concept route allows XG to incorporate Saturn, Anubis, One Eye etc and say "It's just an Alien concept"
I have some doubt about thatSo, Taemin is giving out these t-shirts or something to his fans and on the photo card is writtenx.com

"Do your best and leave the rest to God"
The question is. Is this really about the Christian God?
Perioddddddd Thank you and yes I agree with everything you said.Today for music bank Taemin brought Ashley Everett Beyonce's dance captain, Kany, and foreign dancers who have performed with Madonna and Beyonce as part of his dance crew.
Watching the performance I feel like Korean/Kpop backup dancers are good but not on the same level as western and especially black dancers. This dance crew blew it out of the park with their performance. After really long time I have seen a Kpop performance this good. Like, this was some real smooth dancing going on here. Black dancers are really on another level and deserve more appreciation
You're welcome!. I just wanted to appreciate the diversity. After all so much of Kpop is derived from black culture. Kpop wouldn't exist if we remove the influence of black culture from itPerioddddddd Thank you and yes I agree with everything you said.
Yes Ashley Everett is very talentedToday for music bank Taemin brought Ashley Everett Beyonce's dance captain, Kany, and foreign dancers who have performed with Madonna and Beyonce as part of his dance crew.

I have a lot of thoughts on the super m and even s.m idols being 'overworked' theory a lot of people have, I've read up on and been privy of s.m artists since middle school in 2014. I also feel bad for them but at the same time, now my brain is developed and it's not clicking for me anymore. My pity is running very low. It's not wrong that they can be taken advantage of, but I think people miss some key details. A lot of American pop stars have diet plans and gym coaches before they do concerts, I even looked it up, it's very common. In fact even regular people have gym memberships and diet plans when they want to take care of their health.https://x.com/Ace_BBH/status/1826875115591921904
I feel bad for the idols who were in Superm. It was so obvious that project was nothing more than a money grab. Sometimes I hate idols for promoting agendas but then I remember how bad these companies treat them and I start to feel bad for them.
I love american dancers style and as I black person I ofc love black performance art. If this was a real show of diversity and simply for the art of it great. If they are getting black artists just to basically get more validity and improve their cool factor then it makes me a little hesitant. I just feel like after all kpop has used black producers and choreographers for years without ever showing their faces, or speaking their names in public. Meanwhile being colorist on their variety shows, I just feel like these use black people/culture when they feel it's beneficial and when they need to validate their work. But that's just my opinion...I'll just never get over how shinee's people bought Corbin bleu's song and shinee fans were racist to corbin for literally no reason. I think it's insecurity because honestly Corbin did it way better and was more natural, but still. Personally for my own peace I just don't even give any attention to K-pop in a music sense anymore. I hope it gets better, but realistically they just take-take-take and give nothing back, but if black artists are getting paid cool. But in reality I don't feel anything, my soul just side eyes artist like Tae so much. I don't even think he's dedicated enough to be a culture vulture. He just does whatever he can get away with artistically, he took from a lot of japanese artists as well and is called a visionary. I'd accept it if outside of this he had a real personality but he doesn't, s.m staff truly crafted a korean male britney spears.Today for music bank Taemin brought Ashley Everett Beyonce's dance captain, Kany, and foreign dancers who have performed with Madonna and Beyonce as part of his dance crew.

it's most likely just a front like every other music company. It's owned by a former rapper and has like 12 people in it. There was no reason for an established artist to go there unless there's some mess underneath the table. I feel like there's illegal activity going on, but ofc it's all hidden under mess and drama. A former s.m choreographer is a performance director there. Lmao lsm might be secretly investing in the company. Nothing changed except for the budget of his album which is most likely why he composed and wrote most of the songs. Simple fact that in a small company many artists can get a bigger cut of sales, and even have a stake in the company because it's small. S.m is too big with too many snakes in one pot, which is why people are leaving. The older snakes are being replaced by younger people and they don't like that. I never thought s.m idols would be dumb like this to get caught in something like this but they must be desperate. A sense a future burning sun scandal brewing; even that was just a cover for the nth room. They are too cocky because they are highly protected, you will never see a bad scandal for an s.m idol not really, only dumb stuff nobody actually cares about. But it's likely they are involved in the same activity maybe even worse. Lsm is like a cartoon villain, you can literally find his name attached to so many sketchy things, no doubt his underlings were involved.So, this is album preview for Taemin's new album and I am surprised by the lack of "Dark Symbolism" in this loll. I mean there is definitely symbolism alluding to MK Ultra in this and the teasers released earlier were darker but the songs sound very different than whatever he released when he was under SM. He used to have very demonic songs and even music wise his songs sounded very dark and unsettling like Advice which was creepy to say the least. In comparison the songs in this sound brighter and more normal? Also apparently he composed all the songs himself and wrote lyrics for a few tracks too.
If this turns out to be a less demonic comeback does it mean SM was behind all or some of the demonic symbolism in his solo music? And if this is true it may mean these companies are being controlled by someone else. They may be receiving orders from someone else to put demonic symbolism in popular music for the masses and these idols are just puppets used to spread their message. Of course, some idols like RM, GDragon or the idols who make their own companies could be handlers themselves.
My main response? The blame can go two ways. Celebs get coached to emotionally manipulate and the average woman doesn't guard her heart it's two way street.I feel bad for Kpop idols they seem to have no autonomy. Recently a lot of popular idols like Black pink, Exo, SHINee members decided to leave their original companies for their solo careers and I see fans complaining because it means lesser group activities or it ruins the fun for them and this makes me feel bad for idols because it feels like these Kpop fans think idols are responsible for their happiness. Like, why does it bother fans so much if someone leaves the group or wants to focus on their solo careers. Do these people not understand that being an idol is a job and every human should be allowed to change jobs of they are not satisfied with how they are treated by their employers. Idols changing companies or leaving groups is seen as something scandalous and fans throw tantrums over it. This feels so immature and when you realize a lot of people complaining are adults in their 20s and 30s it makes this so messed up.
Regardless of whatever they do like promoting demonic agendas idols should not be treated as some kind of toy that is obliged to make their fans happy.Maybe some of these idols do not like doing group activities due to reasons like bullying, not getting along with members of staff, or they just don't find it fun anymore and want to do more mature music. Why should they be forced to sacrifice their individual happiness just to keep the fans happy??
Honestly, I was only appreciating the foreign dancers and pointing out how good they look compared to Korean dancers who look stiff and lack soul in most performances and I agree with your other post where you said Kpop idols look soulless and aren't as good as western or Japanese artists. Like, SHINee are considered one of the bests and even they have really bad performances where all they do is follow the dance steps and make some pre-planned facial expressions for viral hits. I honestly, hate the idol culture myself. They have some really talented vocalists and dancers but then they turn them into puppets of the system instead of encouraging them to make their own music and carve their own identity as artists. The whole idol promo circuit is them going on variety shows doing fanservice instead of talking about their music because most don't even participate in their album making process. Like look at Taeyeon that girl is called a legend but all she did is make her career by doing covers of songs made by western artists but she is praised to high heaven like she is some legend. D.O released basic ass pop after leaving SM which he didn't even produce himself but was being celebrated just because he can sing well. SM artists are not my favorite they are manufactured as hell. Even madam Boa the "Queen of Kpop" has no charisma and looks bored when performing even though she is a good dancer and singer but her solo is so bland and lacks personality. Taemin is actually one of the better ones to come out of the Pink company because at least he admitted in his recent interview that SM, JYP, YG, Hybe have set images for idols and how "Commercialized" his albums were before this. Like, at least he is trying to learn how to make his own music now and decided to learn how to sing well even though with his skills as a dancer he could easily survive in this industry like KAI or JM who both have stolen as much as him from black choreographers and can't even sing to save their lives. I mean how embarrassing it was that JM's fans got him a no1 on billboard and he couldn't even sing a note correctly during encore and KAI hasn't sung a live note in his live performances since his debut but still these people are praised like they are some legends. Taemin being called the idol of idols ain't the flex Kpop fans think it is because it shows how low the bar is for idols. Whatever he is praised for like learning how to sing well, trying to create his own identity or now trying to make his own music outside of Pinkshit are things that are expected of western artists and if they don't do it these artists are trashed. Like Selena who is mocked everywhere for not being able to sing even though I swear she sings better then 4th gen idols. Have you heard Lesserafim, IVE, Twice or Illit live?? these girls can't sing to save their lives but they are entering global charts and making records because they are cute and have a mega corporation throwing money at them. Or the big 7 Jkay looked like a fool in front of Usher and he too had Scooter Brown and Hybe throwing money at him to make him the next MJ during his debut but he didn't touch a single song on his album and made the same basic pop music 1D and Justin Bieber get hate for. How is Seven different from JB or JT's pop songs? Harry Styles makes better music than Jkay and he also came from a boy groupI love american dancers style and as I black person I ofc love black performance art.

I have skimmed through all of your posts and agree with most of your points except maybe the one about idols being mistreated. I will still chose to blame the companies because a lot of these idols are scouted when they are very young and probably have arrested development syndrome.My main response? The blame can go two ways. Celebs get coached to emotionally manipulate and the average woman doesn't guard her heart it's two way street.
Most of fan interaction is company oriented. These people don't behave this way naturally, nor is the persona they show on variety or youtube actually them. It's like when people like a tv show, they don't care about the individual person only the character. Many have an artificial spiritual tie due to the nature of the music videos and the weird instagram eye contact sessions they do, this is a way to develop a spiritual emotional connection to someone. I don't speak on the fans because many are being mass manipulated. There's so many life factors that create the crazy fan, it's just a modern version of a 'jesus freak' but insert celeb here. If the person went up to them and slapped them mess out of them, the fan wouldn't like them anymore. They aren't that obsessed, they just are infatuated. For some people that's what it would take to snap out of it. That's a human being, not a fluffy baby. Humans are dangerous--a celeb can be anything, do anything, so you should always proceed with caution before feeling too bad. A man anywhere is a potential threat everywhere.
A lot of female fans would definitely go to a hotel room with a male idol. Not knowing what they would do. Many fans have ended up beaten and drugged thinking that way. I kinda feel for the celebs but I'll never fear for the safety of a grown adult man over young impressionable females. No not at all. Even these skinny malnourished men could really hurt a young female. They do this babying stuff because of marketing. A whole bunch of fans went with J@ckson W@ng to a hotel room. Could of ended up trafficked easily, extremely common all over the world, all types of men do it from rich to poor. It's kinda interesting how people worry about the safety of grown men being followed by tiny women. Was also into calling himself 'magic man' and speaking in the third person a lot. They don't know what entity he was channeling at that time.
The average male celeb is always channeling they are always trying to embody mj or 'micheal' the archangel. It's an actual ritual. Sucking women dry at every concert. Taking their energy before, after and during the concert. They always have some type of angel sigil when they do these things as well. It's in the show supernatural.
If people only knew what went on astrally they wouldn't feel so bad for all these male popstars. They be tired and depressed because they spirits are tired. Women especially pregnant women have divine protection and karma be catching up to all the energetic feeding that they do, but regardless of that.
It's an artificial attachment that companies make billions off of. Women tend to be emotional creatures, boy brands profit off of this. Asian girl groups cater to traditional female roles, males like this as do female lesbians, so in essence they do the same thing. Many cater to both. It's a job that for them they aren't even interacting with their fans a majority of the time. Their careers last 10 years if that and then they go onto do whatever they want.
Fans have the right to be sad, but in reality a lot of these fans don't gaf about these people and will replace them with a hobby or a tv show in about 3 months. People just like the accessibility of it. If kpop stops suddenly, people will just move onto something else. A lot tweet and create fan accounts because it's a business they don't really care about these people. They get tons of money selling fan cards and reselling albums, or making fan content.
I'm a woman and I can definitely say without a doubt if these girls had a real life emotional partner they actually were interested, that was just their ideal type they wouldn't be a fangirl. Boy-dolls are just fill in boyfriends for the most part. While girl-dolls are ideal role models. Many girl group fans also have insta-models as their pfp's. While boy group fans hardly discuss women at all. Many are fujoshi's and don't even want to think about the guys being straight. It's just female jealousy in different forms.
Understood, I just always felt some type of way at the babying. I can't speak too much on bts, as a unit they are probably the strongest group but individually they are weak. Even though I always preferred Kai's music and style but, I don't pull any punches or typically defend him cause he is an sm product. He is.I have skimmed through all of your posts and agree with most of your points except maybe the one about idols being mistreated.
