holy shit that's a lot, the fundraising one is going to kill senbatsu

I don't rly like the strictly forbidden to select contestants who have illegal/criminal records, bad personal credit scores, public opinion scandals, negative social influence part cause one huge issue in kpop is how idols are held to this inhumane standard. I'm hoping things will go to different way instead of things being even harder on idols cause in that point all you have is a product and object not human being. But i dont rly pay attention to cpop so i guess it's not big deal for me. I hope it doesn't go this route in kpop though.

No fundraising? Good. Now there won't be products being bought and thrown out AND no more fanwars about whose fan raised the most money
The other things don't look too bad either tbh... One contestant's mistake and his parents' illegal activities have made it much more difficult for others who were looking forward to becoming an idol though...

Wait what's going to happen to Into1 now? AK doesn't exactly have a spotless past either ... And Nine has acted in a bl and we know how the Chinese government feel about those....

yeah same because it's so vague... works super well with censorship
but at the same time, I can understand the sentiment behind it, just that in execution it will never work and it'll only prop up those born rich

bl I think is fine, or should be, because the ccp isn't too... harsh on it??? they sometimes support lgbtq+ rights, other times they're vehemently against it, the flipflopping is really weird and frustrating
ak comes from money, idk

they've tried curbing fan economy since last year, but the tony debacle really gave them the perfect opportunity + people bringing back the milk issue + tencent and their infamous rigging

only lelush is unbothered by it, he really was the true winner of chuang
a king

ak comes from money

Aka the reason he ended up as #11

 

[RandAlThor]

Crazy
sounds hard core.

 

[RandAlThor]

So Aojuan ok ?

 

[mysteric]

So Aojuan ok ?

she's moved on to mostly ost works no?
hjsn is gone, so I don't think it'll affect her too much because the distance between this and chuang1
there were some rumours that tencent and iqiyi group members did lose resources and sponsors were pulling out, but I think it referred more to promoting and active groups

idol is not a big thing in cpop....
