I'm under a kpop company (1 Viewer)

[kisshuhua09baby]

By a technical standpoint im breaking one of their rules about giving all person social accounts to the common but no one will care really
So far we haven't done much out of the ordinary
They have us do a set of workouts weekly and monthly evaluations
Currentcontract trial is 5 months before renewal and I have to decide on the renewal 2 months in advance
They currently only have about 3-5 trainees myself included and then the staff and owner Ms. H
I don't think I'm becoming the next BTS or wtv if anything it's more likely to become the next lapillus even if we're lucky

what if they find this out TT
I would hate for your opportunity to be taken away from you
what are you there for?

I also take it you aren't allowed to disclose the company hence the "under a Kpop company"

DUDE
use a VPN. at least change your local time!

 

[Kataphract]

here's a shortlist that I use to avoid detection on smurfing accounts:

1. Vary your posting time! Even without a stated "local time" feature of kpopsource, someone can chart the actual times of your post to work out a general time zone.
2. Vary your writing style! Create a character persona for this kpopsource account. Use it so your posts don't sound like real life you. it could be a short blurb to hold onto while you post - it helps shift your "register".
3. Use a VPN! Company IT can absolutely see what you are searching, writing, watching. Even if they can't grab your login, they can see what you see when you load a page! They generally don't care and don't report, but do not rely on their goodwill. A VPN will encrypt your data so IT can't see it.
4. Vary where you access your internet. Occasionally go to a cafe or some other public wifi spot. This is just being paranoid, but dedicated sniffers can still find out posting location. The name of the game is to try to not establish a pattern that points at you being the person behind the account.
5. Needless to say, try not to post any identifying information. You already took a big risk announcing that you're under a kpop company - very few people (of the world) can claim that.
6. Try not to stay logged in. I don't know what the privacy laws or protections are, but use incognito to avoid staying logged in, and avoid leaving a browsing history. This helps in the off chance they want to search your device. Memorizing your login will make this very easy.

If you remember nothing of this list -- keep in mind "Pretend you're someone else, in another timezone"

I hope this helps you avoid being detected

One last thing: A new account.

​

It looks like kpopsource allows two accounts (max)​

​

that's good news.​

​

Your current account already has three years of accumulated activity that is authentic to *you*. Creating a new account to continue interacting helps you avoid people who can match all of your previous posts to you.​

​

Creating a new account and letting this one sit will be hard - you have to pretend you're genuinely new to kpopsource (maybe even kpop in general)​

​

You can't say "oh actually I'm ...." or that'd defeat the whole purpose of a new account.​

​

________________________________________________________________
In my personal opinion, this is optional.

My previous list already helps you be harder to detect in the future, moving forward. That is, assuming this account isn't already known to your company. ​

I wanted to say smth to help but I'm not as well-versed as you

for me I’m really paranoid so if it’s a contractual thing I would have already logged of my social media lol
But everyone’s different Id just have fear of being caught bc I wouldn’t wanna get kicked

 

[Kataphract]

OH MY GOD I FORGOT

try not to post any media from your phone but ESPECIALLY not screenshots or camera photos! Those contain a LOT of device information!!!!!!

sorry for yelling but this is REALLLLLYYYY important.

 

[Kataphract]

That's the neat part - I don't think I'm well versed either.

what I will say is take care of yourself physically and emotionally since from what we lay people have heard - trainee life can be hard and rigourous

get a lawyer or ask your parents for you to protect your financial and legal interests and for the love of GOD - read your bloody contracts!!! lol

There was a test to see if someone could be an FBI agent i think? and they asked for you to take an image they provided and answer some questions on it, first one was i think the name of a guy in the pic? but there WAS no guy My stupid ass kept staring at the pixels thinking 'maybe he's super tiny' and the youtuber solving it went into the properties and stuff and found a ton of info to answer questions with Images have so much info in them
