It's been a while - blind items post! ☕️

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

1: Idol star A, who is gaining popularity for his innocent image, is infamous for his rough, free-spirited private life unlike his image. A is worrying others because he's been obsessed with R-rated films. A is very much into a hard-core genre. A's schedules have been cut short for various reasons. He spends his free time with R-rated contents. A has unusual preferences and his actual attitude is also thoughtless and rough. He doesn't have good reputation from his friends and girlfriends he met after debuting. Because of his preferences, he had a lot of conflicts with his girlfriends as well. But there's no one in his agency who can stop A's unusual preferences, so they can't do anything but sigh.
A =

2: Singer D, who appeared on an audition program, dated a divorced woman 10 years senior with a child. D was an unknown singer, but he became famous from the audition program. D's girlfriend became afraid that he would leave her, so she's using her son whom D adored to keep contacting him. The son would contact D and say, "Uncle, where are you? Come pick me up." "Uncle, when will we see each other again?" Due to the sympathy D feels for the son, D still can't break up with his girlfriend. People are interested in how D will handle this situation.
D =

3: Girl group member G, who used to be on every channel, has been out of the eyes of the public for a while. Until a few years ago, G was a very popular idol and she had endless schedules. But G hasn't appeared for a while and made a lot of people curious. The reason why G's TV promotions are stopped is because of a big fight between G's father and her agency's CEO. G's CEO is a fossil of the music industry with a long history of experience. G's father is also an unforgiving "psycho". Both had a huge fight regarding to G's promotions and as a result, G had to stop all of her promotions. Unless her father and her 'agency father' make up, we will never see G's face again.
Girl group =, G =, CEO =
My guess: Either about SNSD/Sunny/SM or about Kara/Youngji/DSP

4: Actress G is infamous for dominating her celebrity boyfriends' physical and mental completely. Since she was a rookie, she only dated popular male celebrities. There's a famous story of how a hallyu star H jumped into the road when G broke up with him. After getting dumped, H would go to G's agency and go on a diet when G would go on a diet. Another handsome star I even attempted suicide after breaking up with G. A man she's now dating is a close friend of a top star J. Like what she does usually, G is controlling him by dominating his physical and heart. But the problem is that the top star J is also dominated by G and is acting like a fool. Those who don't know well even suspect that G is dating J. What could G's magic be?
G =, H =, I =, J =

5: Girl group member E is making her agency struggle with her craziness. Unlike other talented, popular members in her group, E is lacking in singing, rapping, and dancing. She's full of inferiority complex. Recently, E put on an insane action at an airport and proved the rumors of her craziness. E was going through immigration with other groups for an international schedule. All of a sudden, she started swearing in the worst way, got bubbles in her mouth, and dropped on the ground. The manager quickly tried to stop E, but he couldn't stop the eyes and the ears of the nearby people. E ended up not getting on the flight and only the rest of the members went to the schedule.
Group =, E =

6: Girl group A's members are taking turns to cause trouble, which worries their agency. They debuted a while ago but every year, they're chosen as a 'rising girl group'. A is an ambiguous group but the members already act like they're world stars. Member B views other members as inferior because she thinks she's on a different level. She also demands for special treatment in every event so she's picked as the 'most cancerous member' by managers. Member C, who is talented in singing but has below-average looks, has also backstabbed the agency multiple times, which increased the blood pressure of the managers. Other members would also agree on a schedule, but once they arrive on the spot, they say they're having panic attacks, collapse on the ground and cry. A's agency says, "We only get CF offers for years. When one is about to be confirmed, one member would collapse and we would have to pause promotions and delay the release date. Because this happens all the time, A will end up disbanding without filming a proper CF."
Girl group =, B =, C =
My guess: G-Idle/So-yeon/idk

The wording for these blind items are so sus tbh lol like one sounds like a person had a literal seizure and then the relationship one with multiple ex-boyfriends feels like abuse?

Anyway the only one I can see is definitely the Sunny blind item but I’m trying to think if I’ve seen her in things recently. I thought she was just on something with Hyoyeon but idk how long ago that was.

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

i swear she was in a short variety/lifestyle series at the start of the year?

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

Her last variety stint was in 2019

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

right...so it's a family feud, then? (this year has been an absolute blur I am not surprised I mixed it up with 2019)

[rosiemotleymind.livejournal.com]

Geeze but LSM isn’t CEO right? But I assume he’s still throwing his weight around

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

holds majority share, iirc

[pratzfic.livejournal.com]

and siphoning company's money to his own consulting label as its sole consultant

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

i've just read the first one and i'm already like :OOOOOOOO asdfghj god i missed blind items but also it sounds like the dude has a serious problem the staff shouldn't just sigh someone should send him to therapy

[adenar.livejournal.com]

With the disclaimer that these are, as they always are, total bullshit -

I don't think the last one would be (g)i-dle just because they have filmed several CFs (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzRScsoVn3umpSWq_PlOK-zUlWlhmT-ji), though it's very clearly phrased to bait people into thinking it's them. The other thing that doesn't match is 'talented in singing but below-average looks' - Soojin is the one who's had criticism for her looks but she's not one of the singers, and definitely has never been praised for her voice. I'm trying to think of any 'rising star' group that haven't done any CFs and have a 'below average' (yuck) talented singer and kind of coming up cold. It's hard to think of any group with a 'below average' talented singer since agencies seem so strict on looks these days.

At the same time, 'they keep having panic attacks' / 'one member would collapse' / 'demands for special treatment' / 'backstabbed the agency multiple times' idk folks, knowing how kpop groups are managed, this sounds to me like they're maybe not the villains this blind is trying to make them out to be.

E interests me, it sounds like the only one out of the others that people could possibly pin to someone. Which filler member was missing from a schedule earlier this year?

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

is the last one oh my girl?

[giriboy.livejournal.com]

idts, omg has had cf deals recently (tho yeah, member c sounds very close to how seunghee is thought of by knetz)

[rose-potion.livejournal.com]

I hope the "conflicts" A had with his girlfriends didn't involve his fists because he seems like he needs help. It's one thing to like R-rated thing, it's another to push what you like on somebody else.

[mntsuklaa.livejournal.com]

1 is amusing. Unless his schedules are being cut short specifically because he needs to go watch porn, I wouldn't be particularly worried. He probably keeps forgetting to lock his door and people keep walking in on him.
"Unusual preference" can mean pretty much anything these days (especially since in my mind Korea is stereotypically really prudish) and I really want to know if we're talking like snuff-level-hard-core or just some weird shit like feet and toe sucking

Wouldn't 5 be really easy to find out? How many girl groups have had schedules abroad where one of the members is missing? Or are these really old?

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

The blind items are recent, from July to April. 5 was posted on April 28th.
Red Velvet had international schedules (japan concert) in January, without Wendy.

edit: Forgot that it said "with other groups", ok that can't be RV

[mntsuklaa.livejournal.com]

Has Wendy started doing stuff again? SM should just let her rest until she's fully recovered, although I don't know how long a broken pelvis takes to heal...

The "other groups" should make it even easier because their own fans might shield them but fans of other groups would probably be more than happy to spill the beans.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

1 sounds like he has a porn addiction and is trying to get his girlfriends to partake in whatever kink/fetish he has which is concerning to say the least

[annoyedannushka.livejournal.com]

Is R rated films in Korea different than R Rated US films? I'm seeing a comment about porn, so I don't know what to think.

[hillando.livejournal.com]

The original Korean article says R19 films, so those with sex scenes or disturbing levels of gore.

[xoxkenzxox.livejournal.com]

yeah. I'm confused. full on porn is usually X rated in the USA. R is like...every action movie with a little bit of nudity/swearing/gore/etc. So...R-rated isn't that scandalous to me.

[xoxkenzxox.livejournal.com]

Blind items are fun. I don't pay too much attention to groups other than Gfriend to be honest so I just check to see if they or their members would fit in any and that's about it.

[mortkero.livejournal.com]

The one blaming a girl group member for causing trouble by having a literal seizure😡

[taengwoo.livejournal.com]

my first thought of girl group member G is actually aoa choa, cus she's gone gone..
dominating actress G maybe song hye kyo?
innocent idol star A, at first i thought of cha eun woo, but he's not a rising star, he's already pretty popular. so maybe kim woo seok?

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

Choa left the industry because it made her sick. She's also not signed to any label

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

Idk why I keep reading blind items because I hate them. Also these sound like straight up fanfics? I'm into kinky first guy though lol

[tsukino.livejournal.com]

3 probably is Sunny. She did leave video star in 2019 due to knee pain and treatment. Wonder if that's what they would have fought about?


I feel like if 5 were true it'd be easy to figure out since the seizure(?) happened in a public place? But it could be Mamaoo. Wheein couldn't attend last years k-con due to health concerns.

https://www.soompi.com/article/1346124wpp/mamamoos-wheein-unable-to-attend-kcon-2019-la-due-to-health-concerns



wonder if 6 could be gugudan?

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

About item 6, they're also saying "we would have to pause promotions and delay the release date"
I don't feel like Jellyfish is planning any promotion for Gugudan... lol

[tsukino.livejournal.com]

I was trying to search for girl groups that didn't have a cf, and they were one of the one I think that didn't. lol Maybe I was being hopeful for them having activities. ._.

[aures.livejournal.com]

blind items are so much fun, thanks OP, i missed them

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

These rumors are batshit crazy lol

Item 1 - It sounds like they're dancing around the words "porn addiction"

Item 2 - If true, is just sad. Poor kid...

Item 3 - I though Sunny decided to step back from an active schedule for health reasons? She had surgeries on her knees and was hurting a lot. But 'agency father' is definitively an euphemisn for LSM being her uncle lol. I can see people from the same family having a vicious fight because they have a business relationship on top of a family one.

Item 4 - O.O

Item 5 - Wtf? It reads like the idol had a seizure at the airport and everyone laughed it off as "crazy behaviour". The fact that they're calling her "lacking in everything" and having an "inferiority complex" rubs me the wrong way too. What if the company puts her under such an insane pressure to be "better"/"more like her group members" that she's having a breakdown? That sadly wouldn't surprise me coming out of kpop :(
I think netizens will quickly find candidates for this item, they just need to look at which idol missed overseas schedules at the last minute.

Item 6 - The way they are writing about members "pretending" to have panic attacks before schedule...
Overall, this one reads the most like some anti-fan fantasy. Netizens will also have a field day with this one, all they need is to find semi-relevant groups who never had a CF.

[myungung.livejournal.com]

5 and 6 sound very dismissive of possible mental health issues, and I do hope it’s much more serialised than it is because some of the writing borders on fan thought theories.
My guess for 6 may be WJSN?

[iviih.livejournal.com]

Is someone here good at translating Korean?

I found others blind items (not sure how reliable the korean reporter/website is, but they have blind items of athletes, politics, actors, idols.

I think it would be fun to talk about it. Had some actors blind items that are not translated.

I tried to use google translator and lol it was not good idea. There is one about popular actor couple that divorced this year, it says it was because the man beat his wife.


There is one blind item that people guessed it is about Kim Soo Hyun, the blind item says how this super popular male actor enjoy dating young actresses, and is dating one young actress that was popular children actor. People guessed Kim Sae Ron because it was random how her and Seo ye Ji signed with Kim Soo Hyun's cousin newly formed agency/company

They even said Seo ye ji is dating KSH's cousin, their agency ceo.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if they are still active, but tempestdance used to translate some news articles for omona. shinychopstick also helped me to translate a few blind items for a post once.
