follow up to this post. (tw for those who haven't seen) dispatch released an article within the last hour with a break down of what apparently happened with onew. the people who were interviewed are two who were taken in as witnesses to the police.

( details (tw to be safe) )

source(s): dispatch via naver (+ translation by me) - @kimtaem - @sullaem

everything about this is messy, tbh. i hate using that main source because they're shady and nothing is DONE yet but it's the only one i could find. apparently they're saying that the cctv footage is being reviewed right now so maybe we'll get a visual of what happened. people are also saying that charges were dropped before sm got involved but idk where the source for that is. but if, hypothetically, this is true then there's definitely something else going on with him (re: drinking) and he needs to get help. i have some things to say about that specifically but i'll leave it to the comments if anyone is interested. :/ (though i wanna have everyone remember that she had a right to be wary - like it's always scary to get touched by a stranger when drunk, i've been there.) i also wasn't sure what to tag all this with, mods, so if you need to add an extra one on, don't hesitate or do tell me and i'll edit!

BREATHE HEAVY!!!!!!!!!! Breathe Heavy was clearly meant to be the title track (they were practising what looked like contemporary dance choreo with HA:TFELT's choreographer + there's an English version) but BBB studio version thankfully sounds way more palatable! praying for follow-up promos like SAF/MMA🙏🏻 and NO DAB IS A BANGER I CAN'T BELIEVE HEX FINALLY HAPPENED!! Rania may be a mess but their songs never disappoint 😭

How K-Pop’s Super Group K.A.R.D Are Breaking Musical Gender Roles

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

In the West, pop’s reigning groups have, for decades, consisted of all-boy or -girl members, and in the frenetic K-Pop industry, you’ll find a similar situation. Co-ed groups, as they’re known in South Korea, aren’t just a rarity—they also struggle to attain the success experienced by their non-mixed contemporaries.

Consisting of two boys (rappers J.Seph and BM) and two girls (singers Somin and Jiwoo), K.A.R.D, a name that comes from each member represented by a playing card, are taking everyone by surprise and breaking through the barriers. Not only has their trilogy of pre-debut singles racked up more than 67 million views on YouTube alone since last December, but their success has happened outside South Korea, with a substantial, and seemingly overnight, international fan base appearance that’s allowed them to tour Brazil, Mexico, Canada, and North America before most rookie Korean groups even had their first solo concert on home turf.

really nice interview, i love how BM always says whats on his mind and doesn't use the typical kpop answers sentences.

EXO's D.O spotted with cigarettes!! 🚬😱

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

A fansite took a picture of D.O's shopping bag which she didn't know had a box of cigarettes in it. The raison cigarette was captured in it. Fans noticed that it was cigarette and asked the fansite to take down the picture. The picture has already been taken down right now, but it has already spread all over the internet.

but on a serious note, why do these singers not realize that they're damaging their voice with smoking?

(RUMOUR) AOA member to appear on KBS ‘The Unit’ (idol rebooting project)

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

KBS' new show "The Unit" (formerly "Final 99") is expected to air its first episode in October. The show is for idols from "failed" groups and a chance for them to retrieve their career. Now rumours have surfaced, saying that one (or more?) members from the failing girlgroup AOA will participate. Chances are high that it's only a mistake and they're talking about the drummer girl that left the group last year. Nothing has been confirmed yet.

[NEWS] The possibility of an AOA member joining the survival show 'The Unit' is open, but NOT confirmed. https://t.co/UadDuiS6hx pic.twitter.com/QfkGyVEt06
