Anyway, I am here to serve y'all tea.

Everyone STILL hates SM

Here is today's SM news:

Onew Kicked Out

The only Shinee members who preformed at SM Town were Key and Minho who both preformed their solo songs.
We discovered today through Onew's manager's instagram that Onew actually cleared his schedule to be able to able to attend and preform with the other Shinee members but SM canceled him last minute.

So much for SM inviting former artists I guess? :stonemin:

Key Nearly Faints

Speaking of Shinee, people have been really concerned about Key's health at the concert. He was visibly seen with his head down and on the verge of fainting multiple times throughout his stages. We later learned via his bubble that he was actually sick since yesterday (Day 1 of SM Town) , had to go to the hospital, and was loosing his voice, but he just drank medicine and tried to endure it to perform at the concert.

I want to know SM's logic that they are forcing idols who are sick to perform and making healthy idols ready and eager to perform get cut from the lineup instead.
:iwillfightyou:



Yeri Kicked Out

Yeri broke a lot of people's hearts today.

Yeri shared on bubble what her outfit/styling would have been if she was allowed to perform Run Devil Run with Irene, Seulgi, and Joy.

Yeri participated in Red Velvet's stage for SM Town but was not allowed to perform on any collab/cover stages for some unknown reason, despite Yeri having an empty schedule to practice and perform with the other members.

There is also additional anger from fans online due to the fact that on Tiktok when SM was teasing that Red Velvet would cover Run Devil Run, they teased/implied that all 5 members will be performing the song when in reality only 3 did so.



Hearts2Hearts

This is not something everyone is hating SM for so i'm giving this it's own section.

We got the full lineup and group name for SM's next girl group today!

The group will be called Hearts2Hearts and will have 8 members who's ages range from 14-18 (The oldest members are born in 2006 and the youngest is born in 2010, but we still don't know 2 member's ages so I hope the youngest birthday says at 2010 :iwillfightyou:)

They will be making their debut sometime next month in February.

Their member Carmen has been trending online for being the first Indonesian idol to debut under SM!

Good luck on your debut girls!

ATTRAKT Removes Content

The fight for justice for the Ablume members is still going strong online with oversea kpop fans.

This morning Ablume fans were shocked to find out that ATTRAKT has been removing/disabling any content that anyone posts of the three Ablume members during their time in Fifty Fifty.

I know fifty fifty redebuted with a new lineup, but I honestly wasn't expecting ATTRAKT to try to go on and erase the fact that the former members were ever in the group. I guess I should have seen this coming though?

Madein

Madein members have been seen showing support towards fans who have been pushing the boycott of the company due to mistreatment of the members on social media.

Gaeun has been seen watching people's instagram stories, and Yeseo has been seen liking posts of people talking about how bad the company is.

Previously, Madein's company 143 ent has been seen actively blocking anyone who has been supporting the protest on social media.

If you would like to help support the boycott, fans are asking for people to please unfollow madein on social media, to no longer watch/stream their content, and not support their upcoming comeback as well.

Cignature

We previously got news that Cignature will be disbanding, but fans are now wondering if there is a bit of hope for the future?

Cignature's Seline posted an image on instragram stories of the group with the caption "To be continued".

Cignature fans are wondering if we possibly could be seeing a Cignature re-debut in the future! (Hopefully with a better company :iwillfightyou:)

Orange Caramel's Shanghai Romance has re-entered MelOn's daily charts after becoming a tiktok trend!

Congrats Orange Caramel! I know you guys will probably never have a comeback but we miss you all so much every day!
:palcry:





ZB1 Hanbin

I came across this news on tiktok and wanted to share!

ZB1's Hanbin has made a big donation to an animal shelter for the new years!

Him and his fans have donated 800 Kg (1775 pounds for US folks) and I believe care packages as well to an abandon animal shelter that was struggling. Thanks to their donation all the animals will be able to keep warm and eat healthy through the winter!

Hanbin also has two dogs as well that he rescued! (i'm not sure if he found the dogs on the street or if they were rescued from this shelter though).

I was tearing up when I saw the video from the shelter thanking him on tiktok. Hanbin's such a nice guy! :palcry:

Thank you Hanbin and his fans for the huge donation!



Happy Birthday

Today we are wishing a very happy birthday to EXO's D.O.!

Happy Birthday Kyungsoo!

May EXO have better treatment from SM with their comeback this year:sanapray:

Does having images/sources under spoiler work better for everyone? I feel like it makes the post look cleaner?

I also would like to shout out that I have started an Illit Badge Thread incase anyone is interested!

I would like to start a Stray Kids one as well but i'm worried about finding enough seekers :sweat:

Todays QOTD:
There has been a huge influx of kpop group mascots recently. Today's QOTD is: what kpop group's mascots do you like the best? Or do you have a favorite mascot?


Hongjoong's Jjongrami is very near and dear to my heart. He looks like he's going to commit a crime and I love him for that. I have him sitting on my desk as I type this and I love seeing his little face

SM has always moved odd but this new era SM is something else. :wherearethelies:

and H2H are still babies to me but looking at the age range that’s basically how old SNSD were when they debuted give or take (which is trippy). I think they’re gonna follow / lean towards early SNSD conceptually.

aniteez are adorable! My fav is between Sandeoki and the nonbinary icon themselves Hetmongi, have them both chilling next to me as we speak.

SM Town : more mess, no wonder everyone complained

Attrakt removing the 3 former members from their contents : it's not surprising, they could've even done this earlier

Madein : from what I can see Gaeun and Yeseo are the one who are openly "against" their company, for example by liking some fan comments, etc. Gaeun even went further by trying to warn other people and that's why they kicked her out. From Yeseo it's not surprising from what I heard about her, with what she showed us, etc.

Cignature : maybe a plan to gather everyone ? Moreover why not even gather the original group Good Day

Orange Caramel's Shanghai Romance back to Melon top 1000, thanks TikTok I guess, hence why I saw some groups doing some covers recently. Even Raina (and I heard Lizzy did it) returned to do a short cover on their SNS.

SM NGG, Aespa is already in their 5th year, time flies
