I remember the fierce denials at the possibility BTS V might know Jennie when he followed her on Instagram “by mistake”. We don’t know their personal lives but a large segment of fans act like they KNOW for sure no personal connection between them could exist.
Theres’s always a possibility that...
I was reading translated knetz comments about an idol who had a pessimistic outlook on life. The general opinion was that netizen hatred was responsible for causing an idol to feel this way. E-bullying is an issue, but I feel like it gets too easily made a scapegoat to ignore the other realities...
It’s quite subjective. If a good looking athlete or artist dated a woman who he knew when she was 16 but he was an adult, there wouldn’t be much outcry. But if a regular looking teacher dated a student he knew when she was 16, it would definitely raise more eyebrows.
According to this reference, Korean high school starts by age 16, and it looks to be following Western age because the last year starts by age 18 (rather than 19).

Most likely, Jennie met GD when she was just done with middle school or in the first months of...
Jennie would have been out of middle school, or their version of it, in New Zealand but Korean high school is just 3 years so there would have been some waiting before she could officially be considered a Korean high school student.
It’s a fact GDragon is privileged. That’s completely undeniable. He has a lot of power and influence in the industry. Most of his own age peers are loaded with debt, insane working hours, and it would take more than their entire year’s salary to obtain what GD gets for free from luxury brands...
You missed my point entirely. I haven't said specific men have abused their power or forced people into doing favors. I said that due to the obvious power imbalance since the beginning, there's no reason to feel sorry for a man who is a rich and powerful figure in an industry over some alleged...
Rather than just looking at numbers, the most significant factor are the degrees of power imbalance. This is true for almost all countries, but especially in Korea, a man holds more social power than a woman, a rich man holds even more power, a rich man who is nationally famous holds even more...
And they first met when he was a big national superstar in his 20s while she was just a trainee fresh out of middle school. The power imbalance is staggering. There's no need to hate, just seems so odd so many would white knight for the one with the most power in the patriarchy. Just my 2 cents.
IF Garam is a sly fox like they rumor her to be, it wouldn't be that farfetched if she somehow acquired legally compromising evidence against a top level HYBE executive and using that to blackmail them, and shared it with her friends as insurance. Because the way HYBE is acting in protecting her...
Even SM backed down the stylist threatened to release evidence. The victim and their family came forward via legal representatives and they have proof they sent HYBE and are willing to disclose it publicly, yet HYBE still acts like they and Garam are the sole victims in all this. Any other sane...
Good for them. It's not like they were ever going to visit India, but they've done the right thing and hope they get educated and don't repeat it for other cultures. Now, I wonder if Wendy or Soyeon will ever apologize.
