I think that’s what’s more impressive is that she sang it the song in Korean and able to portray the emotions of the song so strongly!

[@xoxo-wd9bv]

I think the most impressive thing is her singing in korean bc she's not korean. and how hard she worked. I really didn't like the song choice though and don't belive she chose it. and that whole part and some comments were creepy and she's 16. too young

The United States harasses victims of deviant pedophilic abuse by people who are abusing the technology they have access to in the military. Victims of this are raped and abused and then as they get older are then stalked and harassed both on and offline by creeps that are helping their friends get away with their crimes. They sabotage the lives of their victims to make them as hellish as possible, and some victims don’t even know their victims because much of the rape happens when they are drugged or asleep. The men who do this think that they can shame their victims into silence because some of the actions are coerced.

[@user.dsntmtter]

@@eleventwelve2650 this isn't insecurity against anything, Its a warning. I was groomed before I could even reach puberty by someone who had access to my devices and even was able to hijack the television broadcast signal. Someone is using advanced technology to force children into whatever fantasies they have. They are warping the minds of children at ages where they are too young to know anything is off. You may only ever recognize the patterns of abuse after a lifetime of suffering. I don't know who I really am because of the magnitude of the manipulation in my life. I don't want anyone else to go through the same, or if they are, I want them to know what is happening to them.

This is a topic that really grinds my gears, but absolutely *needs* to be discussed! From wony's waffle on k qoura: "You will now say "she's so talented, we should vote for her/ him" Ik they are talented but just don't let their childhood go away. Girlies aren't teen yet. Both of the groups are supposed to debut late 2023/2024. They will still be 13! No no that's literally a freaking child!" And moon girl here on KZbin: oh so it's fine to just ignore the people that are born before 2005? Kpop being inclusive of age is the biggest joke I've heard today. Maybe stop defending the children and try giving more adults a chance. Because I smell some ageism in limiting the auditions this much... that's not the biggest point against child stars but I won't get into that. Let's just say that a lot of child stars didn't have the greatest life.

well. The next Korean girl group at JYP will not be possible until four years from now, so enduring four years as a trainee is harsh. If your parents live in Korea, you can tolerate it, but it is a very difficult process to live as a trainee alone in Korea after leaving your parents in the United States. So it is best to debut this time.

Stage Presence- Many people always say, if you have the gestures, the look, the expression, the physical body movements- they all work in unison to draw the audience in. Then you have a captive audience. JYP and the rest of us who watched Kendall were a captive audience. Kaylee was more technical but Kendall had the advantage of stage presense. The moment she posed and rehearsed in front of a mirror or camera, she knew she commanded your attention. She knows how to draw you in- then taking off her shoes was just the tip of the iceberg.
