YG remains the worst, is harsh af to Winner's Seungyoon

[typhlogirl.livejournal.com]

On the February 19 episode of KBS 2TV‘s “Yoo Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook,”WINNER appears as guests and perform songs off of their new mini album “EXIT : E.”

During the subsequent interview with MC Yoo Hee Yeol, WINNER shares about how they’ve been doing and what they’ve been up to since their debut.

Member Kang Seungyoon especially piques viewer’s interest with a story about a rough exchange with his boss, YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun Suk.



He reveals that Yang Hyun Suk has given him very harsh feedback, telling him, “Don’t write songs anymore. Just sing.”

Kang Seungyoon shares how a few wise words from label sunbae G-Dragon encouraged him to keep writing songs nonetheless. “G-Dragon told me, ‘Yang Hyun Suk is being harsh but don’t get hurt. As long as you keep doing what you’ve got to do, [Yang Hyun Suk] will acknowledge [your work] eventually,” Kang Seungyoon shares.

He continues, “And in fact, when G-Dragon listened to subpar songs I had written for the album, he would give me feedback in an extremely gentle way.”

The now three-member group is set to return on February 24 with their new single “Myst3ry.” They have not promoted since releasing the single “Kiss Kiss” in 2014 and shortly after experiencing the tragic passing of members EunB and RiSe.

4. [+5, -0] Six Bomb is a sad group, don't hate on them... I thought they were a dance team not an idol team at first ;ㅁ; find strength

5. [+4, -0] Honestly, the girl groups on TV aren't even half as bad as the dance groups that perform at college events and stuff.. their concepts are straight up sex based, especially Bambino...

6. [+2, -0] No matter how simplified songs have become lately with repetitive lyrics and all... I just couldn't bear listening to their song.

Twice's Nayeon apologizes for downloading Taeyeon's song illegally

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

Instiz: Twice's Nayeon updates with an apology post

"Hello, this is Nayeon. First of all, I'd like to apologize regarding the Instagram post I uploaded earlier... I was too careless. I'm sorry for concerning so many people and will work to make sure that this never happens again and that I only use official digital music distribution services. I will always be careful with everything that I do. I'm sorry."







-

"I'm shocked that people are calling her pretty and nice just because she responded fast to the issue. That doesn't make the fact that she downloaded music illegally go away. Does writing a clean apology post change that?"

"How do people know it was downloaded illegally?"
- It says SoundCloud in her initial post.

"Clean apology, she made no excuses for herself."

"At least she responded quickly..."

"Just because she apologized doesn't change the fact that she did something illegal. I'm glad she gave feedback but I'm still disappointed in her and she should apologize to Taeyeon directly."

"She responded fast but... does that mean she's been listening to an illegal download this whole time?"

"Why doesn't she apologize to Taeyeon instead?"

"She should've included an apology to Taeyeon too. If she uses official digital music sites, why did she download Taeyeon's song through Soundcloud... I'm glad she gave feedback but it still upsets me ㅠㅠ"

"I'm actually amazed that she has no concept of how digital songs work especially when her own song 'Like Ooh-Ahh' is known for climbing back up the charts..."

"Aigoo.. a singer downloading illegal music ㅠㅠ"

"Shouldn't she be apologizing to Taeyeon..."

"She didn't make up excuses and cleanly admitted to her mistake"

"A bit shocking that a singer streamed a song illegally ㅠㅠ I listen to Twice often myself but the fact that an actual singer did something illegal like that ㅠㅠㅠ don't do it next time"

"I don't think it's fair to let it slide just because she gave feedback. It doesn't cover for her mistake. The disappointment is still there."

"Wow, that's shocking. Even if she apologized, she's a singer, she should know better..."

"If she's a singer, she should know just how much work is put into the production of one song so for a singer to download illegally is shocking."

"She is in the wrong but I don't think apologizing to Taeyeon is necessary, puts her in an awkward spot. Taeyeon isn't even saying anything about it."

1. [+110, -15] A singer is streaming an illegally uploaded song ㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+106, -6] Don't shield this, even if she didn't download it, she still streamed a song that was uploaded illegally

3. [+102, -5] More accurately speaking, the person who uploaded the song is the one committing the illegal act, although she's in the wrong for listening to that illegal song too

4. [+55, -2] I'm a fan, and this is her fault. Especially considering she's a singer, it is her fault and I have no intention of shielding her. However, she deleted the offending post and apologized immediately. I actually like her more for that, for not hiding behind her agency and for apologizing bravely like that.

5. [+35, -31] You all do the same thing, why so hypocritical to idols!!!!

6. [+33, -4] If this is illegal, then does listening to songs on YouTube count as illegal too?

7. [+25, -3] Whether you listen to illegal streams or download illegal songs is up to you but do that privately. Why upload that to SNS and prove it? That's thoughtless.

8. [+24, -3] She didn't download it, she streamed it... which is still problematic

9. [+17, -1] She was really fast with the apology

10. [+15, -0] I hope Nayeon's more careful after this ㅠㅠ Sorry to Taeyeon and Taeyeon fans!

Article: 'Produce 101' All DIA members pass... gold spoon free pass?

1. [+724, -16] Put your fan bias aside and be honest with yourselves. The hidden camera was obviously told to them beforehand. Even if they have a strong company backing them, why would a trainee offer to cover for the mistake of not even a friend but a producer's that will cost them 30 million won? Too obvious

2. [+570, -25] I like how Kim Dani and Ki Hee Hyun were B and C rank until they got boosted to A during the 'Pick Me' video filming ㅋㅋ I thought they'd be good because of that but Kim Dani's singing is atrocious. Why does Mnet only show her good dancing clips but not her poor singing clips??? I don't get it. And isn't MBK's CEO the former CEO of Mnet Media? ㅋㅋ It's obvious what's going on ehre

3. [+512, -2] Do you guys honestly believe that this is completely based off of viewer votes? ㅋㅋㅋ It's all a set up

4. [+52, -4] Whoever voted for them needs to turn themselves in. It's ridiculous how Ki Hee Hyun got the highest rank out of them and she looked as if she fully deserved it

5. [+40, -4] Wow... I will never understand how Kim Dani and Ki Hee Yeon got in the top 11... especially Kim Dani, what does she even do??

6. [+33, -4] Whoever did Jung Chaeyeon's plastic surgery has the hands of god. Totally turned her life around with how much prettier she's gotten.

7. [+31, -3] This is 100% rigged ㅡㅡ Kim Dani, Ki Hee Hyun, Heo Chanmi, Kang Mina, and Jun Soyeon have such a negative image with the public that they should have a low rank but instead they're going up while the trainees that viewers and fans are actually pushing are stuck in the lower ranks;;;

8. [+28, -3] I don't get why Kim Dani is up so high. I've never seen anyone around me call themselves her fan and she keeps being labeled as "talented" since the start of the broadcast when she can't sing or dance. I understand why Jung Chaeyeon is high because she's pretty and people are probably voting for her visuals but why Kim Dani?

9. [+28, -3] This is so pointless, it's rigged

10. [+21, -5] Can't stand any of the MBK kids...
