Someone pointed out I misspoke! In the plastic surgery part, I meant to say that Korean plastic surgeons make up 5.1% of the worlds plastic surgeons !

oily is nonbinary, you used the wrong pronouns

@Hot Chocolate who cares lol

@Liu Yangyang even if you hate them, you should still try to be respectful. don't stoop down.

@Hot Chocolate idc about pronouns. Cry ab it. In school I learned that if I see a girl, its she. If I see a man, its he. Thats what im sticking by. I don't wanna waste my life worrying ab pronouns when I don't even give a single shit about peoples names or lives on the internet

@Liu Yangyang I know it's minor, I was making a small correction. Respectfulness.

THANK YOU!!! Someone who understands/acknowledges that sampling and plagiarism are not the same thing. Too many people have no clue as to how song production is behind the scenes and the interactions that happen leading to the full publication of a song. A lot of songs that sound similar are because of either using the same stems or using a stem from a song that was previously agreed upon being able to use.

The big 3 will never change because they paved the way for everyone today and those in the future BUT I think there should be a Hot 3 to represent the biggest companies at the moment.

That’s a good way to look at it ! I completely agree

Exactly, and aside your well-explained reason, another one would be that finance is not the main criteria to be part of the big 3 to begin with, as a lot seemingly assume, or else indeed Big Hit would have the throne, the crown and the scepter hands down. In reality, the big 3 detained a plethora of political connections in their sleeves throughout Asia and beyond, and not necessary the cleanest one. The sponsors concept in K-pop is not a little cherry on top of a cake, therefore those links and deals made behind the curtains are not about to stop anytime soon to assure them the stability to remain in power in the K-pop industry, having BTS and their incomes in their ranks or not.

yh

I think we should just always always ALWAYS get companies to be held accountable especially the big ones because smaller companies tend to copy what the big ones does. The big companies made what KPOP is today and it just makes sense that it will continue that way.

I love how you went right from telling the rumours of Jeongyeon and Jimin to fanfiction lol

I... got something to say regarding Stellar: the company is terrible, but the executives are not the only ones to blame. Hear me out. Marionette was a scandal, it actually got Stellar attention, and the group actually released two songs, Mask and Fool, before Vibrato. I think I remember Stellar members talking about how both Mask and Fool were largely ignored by the public because they were sexy but not out there to the same extent as Marionette. And the public, the audience - K-Pop fans - didn't want these songs or concepts. All the new "fans" Stellar had gained with Marionette were essentially demanding hypersexual concepts, and after two "flops", Vibrato and later Sting were released. The key point here is that fans, and in particular those who were there for "soft p**n", made exploiting the girls profitable (tragically). Therefore, fans also need to acknowledge their responsibility as they were the driving force behind the company's decision. If less provocative concepts had been a success, the fan community might have been able to stop this from happening. I'm not here to defend the company (I think it's Entertainment Pascal or something) - the executives made despicable decisions for personal gain. But it's not surprising that a company is supposed to generate profits, and that executives respond to consumers' demands. Again, their methods were terrible, despicable, disgusting, but the consumers (aka fans) had the power to not consume hypersexualized content and stop all of exploitation before it even started. In order to not let this happen again, can we all please be smarter consumers? As a community, we can let companies know what we want to see, and if we notice, one way or the other, that idols are uncomfortable, we can let our money speak while also spreading awareness.

Good points. Mask is sexy enough (I don’t think over the top, but the ladies looked great) and probably my favorite Stellar song. It should have done very well.

I like how you mentioned being smarter consumers. I think that’s a huge problem that is not talked about. Those who make it and consume the content are at fault. Honestly you said it better than I ever could!💖👏

haha yeah I think the second part will be even longer 😂

@Jihoons Carat exited for it! 🤩

Thank you so much

that's something i always tell new fans. "don't trust mr removed videos/audio because it's never accurate." honestly i have been a kpop fan since 2008 and i remember every few years or so there's a trend where people make fun of "live vocals" and they're mr removed videos. i can't ever take them seriously because mr removed videos really really REALLY (i am definitely stressing this word out) aren't reliable. not to mention people bring up these clips to "prove" an artist "sucks" on an idol they hate lol. and it frustrates me when people think of it as an actual legitimate source to find artists' "true voices".

Also, yay. Another KPop Grandparent 👌🏻😂

@Empress that's literally why i can't take mr removed audio seriously, i am a thousand percent aware that back tracking exists and that's the main thing you hear when you mr remove stuff. of course it's going to sound different, of course it's going to sound a bit weird possibly, because it's meant to aide the main vocals and provide support in the back. the problem is a lot of newbie kpoppers or people who don't fully understand how audio works don't understand that. that's why we need more videos of people explaining how it works and whatnot. i would make one but i am not like, an expert, lol. also yay hello fellow kpop grandparent :')) ❤️

"Jeongyeon's TWICE and Jimin's BTS" made me laugh so hard, because the way you said it means that TWICE is owned by Jeonyeong and BTS is owned by Jimin. Should've been "TWICE's Jeongyeon and BTS' Jimin" hehe.

i know lmao i have no clue why i switched the two like that

- Hyuna & Dawn: I heard she openly spoke about their relationship at the time because people were accusing her of having improper behavior towards Dawn, they were calling her an abus**r and it was a way for her deny the allegations before it got out of hand, if she didn't talk about it then maybe the situation would escalate, it was unfortunate to be happening at the same time Pentagon was getting momentum, plus the horrible way Cube dealt the situation, but she didn't it selfishly as many say. - Sasaengs: They are pretty scary, and yes, thank you for reminding people that >some - Fake Ages: Lol, on the newest video on Wonho's personal channel it showed his birthday as 1992.3.1, so it kind of confirmed he also was a "victim" of Starship obsession of making the leaders the oldest member even if they actually aren't, besides the times he was referred by the other members as the oldest of Monsta X or the few instances where Shownu used hyung while talking to him.

7:38 Soobeanie is now working with DKDKTV and had a very detailed session on music shows performances during a DK Tea live stream, I personally did the time stamps on that so it's easy to follow, really really cool and interesting stuff

The Big 3 privilege is a thing and I’m sick of it because there are so many groups under small companies that are as good as the groups from big 3.

fr

i think many people are afraid to get invested in a group from small company becouse they are afraid the group wont make it and disband and then they will be very desapointed. If a new group is from the big 3 there is a good chance the group wont disband so it brings more fans into the fandom

@Jada Matlock that’s a really valid point you’re bringing up but instead of being afraid that they’re disbanding why do people don’t give them a chance? I mean I only stan groups from small companies and yeah some already disbanded but their music is amazing and I really enjoy them. And many groups from small companies have a lot of comebacks and they really try hard but people just don’t give them a chance.

@Haha Haha i gess people like to be on the hype train, being around so many people that like the same idols

If i was doing a really intense dance routine i'd want some backing vocals too, I can't imagine how tiring it must be to sing and dance at the same time.

Honestly the topics you have chosen I am super happy with, I actually had not heard of lots of these so learnt alot. I think the term Koreaboo is demonised but personally I think you can be a Koreaboo without wanting to be Korean. Like being into Kpop so much you Internet handle is a kpop term, Asian pfp, having special kpop social media like a YouTube channel or TikTok, posting covers etc. I think that's pretty Koreaboo. I love that Heechul wrote fanfiction and likes it. I think people shouldn't take fanfiction or shipping so serious. Jimin and Jungyeon, I can actually see it being a thing tbf Miss A screaming man there is one of them in April Mayday. I won't speak on Jessica. Victorias spoon 😂 Just iconic. The 3 way lesbian triangle, I am all here for it. Yuri would be a fine addition to lesbianism, I hope if she is, she has a happy life. Stellar sexualisation is something that I am torn with. The girls have been open about all of this but the girls are not completely innocent in this. Yes, they are traumatised but they were also themselves desperate for the success, hence why they put up with it. I think it's very easy to be ashamed of something after you've done something but allow it at the time out of desperation for success. There is an element of desperation why idols allow and permit such treatment. Aswell as contracts of course. But we have to have to know that idols CAN leave or file suits. It happens alot. Yes it costs them, but it costs the company too. Really enjoyed the video as always! I look forward to part 2

the truth behind somi's "fight" is so on brand for her 😂 omg i love her so much

i don't even know why "vivi's fake age" was on that iceberg, let alone in a tier that low 😭 when vivi lived in hong kong (her birthplace), she used to lie about her age to get modelling gigs. that's it, there's no huge conspiracy behind it 😭 this is pretty common in the modelling industry, my girl was just trying to get paid 🙏 some anti on a korean community website made a post about it, they must've found a profile or something. and then certain "k-pop news" blogs started reporting it as fact 🤕logically as a foreign idol promoting permanently in korea, she'd have no way to lie about her age

from what i can tell the person that made the original iceberg set it up that way is it was a theory that not everyone knows about. not like i do where the lower you go the darker the stuff is. but yea people are looking a bit too much into her age

@Jihoons Carat yeah yours made a lot more sense! that's the way an iceberg should be

I’m mixed on Fanfiction. I do think it can get creepy and “mature”, but I also know that most the time it’s not the actual person, rather a Fortite skin of the idol (like Keanu Reeves as John Wick in that game). They use the person as a fill in of their character (and as a visual to help create characters). I’m an inspiring author and I use real/fiction characters all the time for to base my characters off of. Just as long as people realize it’s not the real person and what is stated is fiction, I don’t think it’s that bad. It’s creepy with “mature” scenes though and we have to call out the Fifty Shades Of Grey Series and After Series, since both are former fanfiction turned into a movie and published novels. But I don’t think people are saying the funfictions are the actual representation of the real people the based them off of.

Ori makes me so sad she didn’t deserve that hate

I've been a kpop fan for almost 12 years now i knew all of this but still watch it haha, anyways as someone who knew you really explained it well thankyou

tbh i just find the jimin & jeongyeon situation funny, which is why i put them both in my user. to make it more positive since i know a lot of people try to dive into it. i feel like when people dive into it, it can also kinda be like they’re invading their privacy if that makes sense. we don’t know what happened between them and we shouldn’t make too much of a big deal about it, it’s none of our business anyway.

I just wanna say, thank you so much for this video. I have loved kpop for over 10 years and there are several things that I did not know. You must have researched intensely for a long time and I (and everyone else) can tell. I learned so much from this video, and I can't wait for part 2. I love your videos and thank you so much for deciding to become a YouTuber.

Thank you so much for enjoying my channel 🥺

I love Kpop Icebergs. 'Can't wait for part 2

I'm almost 2 minutes in, but just wanted to say an iceberg is used as a metaphor for the unknown and unseen, and that's usually dark, the reason for that metaphor is that actual icebergs in the world only have 20% of their mass above water, the 80% left is not seen by anyone who's not willing to dive deeper. Anyway, back to the video!

Hi. I explain somewhere in the video that my version focuses on the concept of the deeper you get the worse it gets. So not the typical iceberg but I wanted to do it like this 🤗

You talked about chinese mistreatment but forgot to talk about the first one, Hangeng from Super Junior, the one that started everything, his story is super important when it comes to this topic

well i was just counting out some example, not counting out all idols treated badly by SM. But thank you for mentioning him

Didn’t Kris have the same lawyer as Hangeng when he filed his lawsuit? I heard that one time, and I want to make sure I have my facts right.

After watching this video, I need someone to make a video game with a water level and the instrumental is just Bad Boy lol I never would have thought that the sound and that concept worked so well together 🌊

thank you! I found it so mystical and since I wanted to have an underwater theme for the transitions I thought it fit well together.

@Jihoons Carat It fit perfectly! 10/10 ❤️

And i just wanna make sure before there's any misunderstanding, when it comes to chinese members mistreatment i think jun and minghao's case isn't too severe like other idols, pledis still give them lots of freedom in creating their own project like solo songs, the8 with his contemporary videos, jun with his covers, and etc. also xcss is the one who manage their activities in china (not pledis directly).. im not trying to defend pledis or saying that it's a good company but as my observation jun and minghao are not being mistreated bcs that is a strong word, maybe more of a mismanagement in some cases

Well it’s gotten a lot better the past year or two but they used to be treated so badly. I talk about this in my Pledis video but they wouldn’t get promoted properly, on one occasion Pledis left jun alone at an airport for 24 hours because THEY screwed up his working permit. Here is a great thread about the shit they have done to jun :https://twitter.com/junhuiloops/status/1308113784108613632?s=21

@Jihoons Carat Thankyou for explaining me about this! That's so bad :(( yes maybe i was looking at the recent things only i didn't notice pledis' behaviors towards china line in the past.. im glad that they are treated better now i hope pledis won't make the same mistakes again in the future (i kinda doubt this) once again thankyouu

as a meetalhead who enjoys a couple kpop songs too this was a good deep dive, and i was thinking the metal community had issues

It’s so sad how many of these communities have issues. I just wish the industry was safer and not abusive. It’s just not okay.

IVE BEEN REFRESHING THE WHOLE DAY FOR THIS

IM SORRY FOR KEEPING YOU WATING ❤️💕

thank you so much for putting so much effort into this video! it was really interesting

Idk but I feel like a lot of fans don't really think about these idols and their feelings and judge them too harshly without attempting to understand or wrongfully placing them on a pedestal. I mean.. if somebody told you they'd make you famous if you got a nose job and pretended to be a year younger and couple inches taller I feel like a lot of people would overwhelmingly just roll with it. They're just people.

I hope the STELLAR girls are okay these days. What happened to them was terrible...

this is an amazing video for someone just starting being into kpop (me)! thanks!

Wonho's age should go on a kpop iceberg 😂

Wait what’s his age? I thought he was ~27? (or somewhere around that number)

@True False Starship had marketed him as being born in 1993 but it recently came out that he's really born in 1992

starship sure loves lying about ages

and WJSN's too HAHAHA

@jv. WJSN's are for the concept Every member represents a zodiac sign, because they debuted as 12 members it kinda made sense, but they didn't covered all the signs, so Soobin, Dawon and Luda had to get a new date Then they added Yeonjung and now it is so useless lmao

about the plagiarism part - there's a very well known singer amongst young people in my country (israel) that actually copied the melody of one of shaun's songs... but the song the israeli singer sang was about his breakup with his (also super famous) gf, which is really funny. because kpop isn't really popular in my country, not that many people have noticed.

Since this is not in the iceberg you made but I hope you talk about this one too: idols not allowed to have a phone. This happens mostly for smaller groups and they are only allowed to have one when they already get successful. It is not that deep 1. This means they won't be able to contact their parents whenever they need to. 2. I know that CA is wrong and people should educate them but I don't think they need to be cancelled because if they don't have a phone they won't be able to educate themselves properly so companies should be the one teaching it to their artists.

Jennie gets backlashed just for breathing 🙂

she deserves better

When I heard her bring up Teentop I almost cried... Two members just left the company too 😌

I personally don't care if an idol sings live or lip syncs because i know that there are stans out there who literally freak out when they don't hear live vocals or when their faves get called out for not singing live....it's wild

YG doesn't post the "who's next" posts for comebacks, but for debuts

Exaclty kkkkkk 😂😂😂

that can't be true tho... -Teaser posted on November 16th 2016 was for a SECHSKIES album re release so not a debut. -Another teaser in 2016 was for Blackpinks Square Two maybe I'm misunderstanding the posts but at least on those two occasion they use Who's Next

Actually, YG did post a who's next post for Akmu comeback

Stellar case is so sad and heartbreaking. Their song is so good but the mv is on the other side..

Exactly! I feel bad listening to the songs sometimes because I know the amount of pain the girls were in

hongki celebrates his birthday three times a year lol the first one is set on the date he was born in the lunar year (6th february), since the date for lunar calendar always changes his birthday he also celebrates this date when it's the actual date on the lunar calendar (e.g: his lunar birthday was on 28th of february in 2020) and he also celebrates his fixed birthday based on solar calendar on march 2nd it's a total mess i get you if you don't understand

Hahaha, I remember the Dallas Police thing. I live in the suburbs of Dallas so it was on the local news. That shit was so funny. Even non kpop fans on Twitter were saying “aight that’s pretty clever”.

I’m so afraid about how Ning Ning in Aespa is being treated by SM 🙁

Why？

Ningning is a Chinese member that's why

ok but the ateez live was so funny kdsjksjd i was there and i was laughing my ass off 😭😭

oh my goood iceberg videos also became my obsession lately! i'm so happy that you made such video!!! now i have a great vid to eat my dinner to

Same here ! I have watched sooo many videos like these it’s insane 😂 hope you enjoy the video and your dinner ❤️

@Jihoons Carat thank you so much you are so sweet!!! i'm in the middle of video and it's sooo interesting. thank you so much for your hard work and the amount of research you did for this!!!!

You’re so welcome ❤️ thank you 😭😭 I’m glad you like it I worked so hard on this I felt like I was going insane by the end of script writing 😂

@Jihoons Carat you are such an underrated creator. i really hope that all your work will be paid off soon !!!!!

thank you so much 😭 as long as people enjoy my stuff and get entertainment out of it I’m happy

30:17 Leeteuk isn't pronounced "Lee-tuck" it's pronounced "Ee-Took"

You have a really beautiful voice and I like your accent. I could listen to you all day.

Awh thank you 🥺 im glad to hear that, I’m always so scared people won’t understand me or find me annoying 😭❤️❤️

@Jihoons Carat dont worry abt it !! english isn’t my first language and i sometimes have trouble understanding when native speakers talk but i understood you perfectly ^^

I was watching this while getting my hair done the other day and I was able to finish this part and I was shocked-

Many idols say the companies lie their heights, birthdays like jesus christ why😭😭😭😭

AND their weights as well, which I think is even much more dangerous and potentially harmful both to the artist and impressionable fans who might already be struggling with EDs or body issues.

@Ingusch oof yea , I've been trying to reach hyunas weight because of our similar heights and now everything in my head is just uncertain 😭

@Ko Hyuna's said herself that she actually has a condition that makes it super hard for her to gain weight. She's trying to gain weight, actually, bc she says she's underweight. She recently celebrated gaining a bit in an instagram post. Also, body height alone isn't a good enough indicator for how much you should weigh. I'm the same height as Yuna from Itzy but we have very different body types, so it'd be really unhealthy for me to weigh as little as she does, though she looks healthy as well.

Right

The yuri lesbian love triangle is still insane to me😭 Good for her good for her

U talked about irenes situation and the editor/stylist posts but never mentioned how half the industry stood with irene and even stranger that met her stood up for her and people till this day bring irenes name on Twitter just bcs they don't know things like this so pls don't mislead it~

I don’t think I was misleading. This wasn’t supposed to be a breakdown of the whole situation and the after math. It was only a brief explanation of the situation, what happened and what Irene did as a result.

그렇다고 그녀가하지 않았다는 의미는 아닙니다. 그녀는 그것을 인정하고 계속 사과했다. 해외 팬은 최악 ㅠㅠㅠ

Maybe because they are underrated and from a small company but the Who's Next for 2020 reminds me of when B.I.G's Benji left the group. But it happened about a week before, not sure if that counts🤷‍♀️

39:25 i feel so happy cause finally someone names one of my boys TT Please stop sleeping on them and their talent

Agreed! I love them so much

@Jihoons Carat they're my favorite group, i really want them to be more recognized

Other stylists accused the op the stylist to be rude not irene , and she share positive story of irene .

that wasn't known yet so it wasn't wrong, people didn't know the full story so how they addressed it was completely fine.

Oh so this is a deep dive into tea!!?? Haha awesome job!

The true iceberg is the things we can't see oncam.

About Exo Chen, i think real fans should be happy for him and not be angry ..

This is such a great video! Totally deserves my like.

One time Stray Kids was accused of plagiarising 3Racha. 3Racha consists of three members, all three of whom are in fact Stray Kids members. Bang Chan is CB97, Seo Changbin is SPREAB and Han Jisung is J.One

LMAO PPL BE REACHING

LMAOOO SDTOPP THAT INCIDENT HAD ME IN TEARSSS

When you plagiarize yourself😂

I only Stan dreamcatcher so this is so fun to learn abt haha

Ppl really thought it was Seulgi? She was known to be nice in high school. 😭

off topic i love your videos so much 💗

Awh thank you so much 💕❤️

STAN LOONA❤

It’s hard for me to believe that only started in 2015. It seems like I had been seeing that for 10 years. Way before I knew anything about kpop.

But why Irene treated the staff like this? I mean, i think that there is a reason (?)

It is 2021 people should stop hating artists that do lipsync and the rightful use of samples(with credits) Most concerts when they arrive at those HARDCORE choreos or Medleys of old ass songs every single group will use lipsync or prerecorded base to support them

jeongyeon vs jimin will forever be at top of kpop's unsolved mysteries lmao

The Dallas Spam thing was iconic

In the stellar part, when u said stellar was a girl group the captions said stellar was a *gold* group✨✨✨

Love the Pink Fantasy fancam

7:53 You don't know how hard I laughed-

love this video it is amazing!!

Honestly i could do an hour long conspiracy video about Jessicas departure

Idols who turned CEO and not even mentioning Jessica 😟

Honestly i believe the girls are still in touch, (since i watch multiple videos like that lol)but it started going downhill because SM probably don't support Jessica's successful business clothing line since they were scared she might not be active in the group anymore (which is pretty understandable)and sica probably tried to cover up since their contract during that time was almost expiring (which is also understandable) and after that sm and her had beef and thus blacklisting her from working in SM or talking with the girls publicly again Just my theory

​@Marie they cant mention every kpop idol turned CEO, they have to move on fairly quickly, like how fast you would sink down an iceberg

"Ghost in Kpop" Wait hol' on are we going to have some White: Melody of a Curse vibe here?

Yesssss... I've been waiting for this one

Hope you like it !

it’s kinda annoying how the Irene scandal has been swept under the rug, what if the roles where switched? that stylist probably would have been blacklisted or something

Fr I keep wondering why literally no one is talking about it. That don't seem right at all like she apologized but WHY did even act that way???

i have been waiting for this omg I'm excited

NO ONE TOLD ME KRIS LUHAN AND TAO ARE STILL UNDER SM OMG???

I thought Tao lost and must pay for idk how much (I kinda forget). But Kris and Luhan are still under SM yet are no longer part of EXO

Gotta be honest the stan LOONA meme made me stan them so it works

*6:35** Red Velvet VOCALLLSS 4Days* 💙💜💚💖💛 Love them soooo muchhhi

Can I be honest? I think that Korea needs to start showing love to natural faces alot more. A lot of these ppl feel insecure about their faces so they go and get surgery. But Korea is very judgmental when it comes to looks they put down people who don’t look like that certain beauty standard. And it’s sad really.

I've just randomly found your channel and😍 now i can't stop watching

The Ateez thing isn’t a scandal... it isn’t even serious.

I never called it a scandal ? and not everything on the iceberg is serious (like jeongyeon&jimin, the nature leggings, Kai krystal photos) I even clarified the situation in the clip so I’m not sure where you got the idea it was serious

@Jihoons Carat I said it isn’t a serious issue? Just wanted to point out that it isn’t scandalous where everything else in the video is. Sorry for pointing something out I guess. Didn’t mean to hurt your feelings or offend you - I even said it isn’t serious so I’m not sure why you took it that way regardless but take care, stay safe & good luck with things ~

Like I said not everything in the video was a scandal. Some was just funny moments or theories.

PART TWO IS OUT: https://youtu.be/gsmEBe6i-gY

Wow this is so interesting can't wait for next part

Hey, there is "ladies' code kiss kiss mv" in one of the lower tiers. You didn't talk about this. Do you know what is up with that? Or can anyone explain what is wrong with the mv?

Hey as I said in the beginning I’m splitting the iceberg in two so that will be in the second video coming soon

@Jihoons Carat oh great! I looked it up and I guess I get the point why it's there but maybe I got a wrong rumor or something. Thank you for responding! I look forward to the second part ^^

Iceberg is usually the deeper you get the less known it is

it’s a mix of that and more dark stuff, like I said at the beginning 🤗

Great work, very interesting.

Nah cus my heart palpitated when I heard Louis name, my 1d heart still be beating lol (Edit: official cause of death 1D mentioned in a kpop vid)

What’s the mv that’s shown when there’s a new tier?

Got7s Never Ever

IM SO HAPPY THANK U FOR THIS

im literally 2 minutes in but why is ans' disbandment so low on the iceberg 👀-

Because it’s a darker topic 🤗 I decided to have it organised that way

YESssss, i was waiting for a new vid uwu

So is 19:49 a funny thing or a problem because as an Atiny for a long time, I still find it funny to this day 🤷‍♀️😅

No it’s just funny but it confused a lot of people back when it happened

Can someone tell me the music video clip that plays between the topics, like it looks so intriguing. The one that shows some member saving another one from dying in a car while drowning or something. I figured out that the background song is "Bad Boy" by Red Velvet but can't seem to find the video...

The music video being played is Never Ever by GOT7 !

@Jihoons Carat OMG THANK YOU SOO MUCHHHH HAVE AN AMAZING DAY!

Please FREE JEONGYEON from this rumuor 😭💀 Kpoppers it aint nothing of your business

It’s just a huge joke between Once and ARMY at this point

Right, the both need to be freed from that rumour and shippers😭I once tried to tell someone that we shouldn't assume idols sexuality out of basic respect, and some homophobe shipper started arguing and somehow got onto the topic of BTS, specifically Jimin (idk why) and I said "Did he tell you he was straight?" and they when "three words, Jeongyeon and Jimin." so I looked up a video of them and it was that singing video, and my first thought was "he looks pissed" I really don't get how people see anything remotely romantic in that stare and everything else💀💀 (sorry for writing so much)

Wait... He had to APOLOGIZE for getting MARRIED?!?!? Can someone explain to me why that is?

yes he did. He had to say sorry for...being in love I guess? I honestly don't get why but probably because some fans were outraged?

@Jihoons Carat I think it's because of the whole "idol" concept where these fans think they have a chance with them but once these idols get married, the illusion is broken. I've noticed that it's very intense when it comes to EXO in general.

We need an updated iceberg

kpop iceberg? how have i not seen this oh wait i saw the midnight theories one lol

Why’d you put that oily london clip in there 😳 you didn’t have to scare me like that 🤣

23:55 that's actually misinformation! chen and his wife didn't get married on the same day the announcement was made, as confirmed by sm entertainment.

Thank you. The news I used said he was already married but we now know he was not married until later on
