BTS x MCDONALD'S. Is the only collaboration we Stan. Done seeing BTS being used by other artists. I prefer them getting paid for collaboration instead.

"It's complicated" Great way to sum up any historical/political conflict.

[@flame200]

It's not complicated. We're naive thinking there's any good relationship between China and other countries

[@viptess5505]

Young people should be aware of this, thanks David. If you know more, you’ll be scared. Not complicated if you educate yourself. It already reached the west. We, Asians, are still clueless. Don’t hate on Chinese people, they are the biggest victims here. They don’t feel it unless you’re poor or very rich. SK enjoy your democracy.

[@mx.n.3682]

@@flame200 it actually is complicated when you consider their poor political relations when said country still depends a lot on exports and imports like any other country (except north korea maybe.) China influence is big enough in my country that people are starting to complain, because our government owes them huge debt, and outsources a lot of infrastructure development there because it's cheaper than using local sources. a business relationship still exists, yet political relations are rocky at best.

He didn't admit anything, he just said someone mistook his behavior with bullying, he never bullied anyone If you don't feel comfortable with someone's behavior just speak You can't just wait and stay silent, and expect people to change their behavior because you are not comfortable I was accused of harassment when I was a student, let me tell you the story My first year in college I used to party and drink a lot with my friends And at the first few weeks of the year, a classmate came to party with us and I really appreciated him But quikly he would never show up anymore After that I would always ask him if he want to come and try to make he come to the party because I really appreciated him Maybe 1 or 2 times a week we party I always acted nicely to him and never disrespected him But at the end of the year he told to professors and directions that I was harassing him and he was feeling very bad for the whole year because of me He never said anything to me and never said he was uncomfortable I was and still very angry at him, I was almost expelled (Sorry for my english, I'm french)

Maybe Chris Martin’s going to be a guest judge on one of those reality singing competition shows similar to The Voice or something like that. He’s also very particular when he works with other artists. He’s very much a person-to-person kind of guy. He likes to personally meet & get a feel of who he works with. You won’t see him do a collaboration with anyone he hasn’t met in person. Music, for him, is a kind of spiritual art. He wants to be sure their vibes or energy work well together because it will affect the quality of the music if they don’t. I hope I’m explaining it well. He’s also known for taking time to connect with fans when the opportunity allows. 🤩

[@lillyhawks3337]

@@Kookietaetan I am a Brit but tbh the Brit awards aren't as popular over here as they used to be so I'm not surprised that internationally it isn't really heard about, which is a shame because in an American dominated industry it's sometimes hard for British upcoming artists to get international recognition. Last year an upcoming artist straight up rapped about our Prime Minister being a racist in what was quite a moving performance and there are often some quite high profile collabs so BTSxColdplay wouldn't surprise me.

I could definitely see a BTS x Coldplay collab, particularly given how mellow and chill some of BTS' last few title tracks have been (Stay Gold and Life Goes On). Blackpink too maybe, but I'm just leaning towards BTS because I think there's been more buzz about an upcoming BTS comeback than a Blackpink one and also all the relationships being created with shifting from just BigHit to HYBE labels. Actually, who knows, maybe even throwing out a Seventeen x Coldplay collab? How cool would that be as well! I'm excited for whoever the collab is with though, it doesn't have to be BTS or Blackpink. I definitely think that's what's going on, at least partially, with this visit.

Well EXO are the nations pick for a reason, though other groups may cater more to the west, EXO has maintained a healthy balance, they are loved worldwide but are simultaneously one of the groups that best represent Asia and are very loved in China. I wish EXO had been promoted in other parts of the world more since I feel like they embody and represent what SK is so well, and they are multitalented, they cover almost every art form, musicians, actors, models, intellectuals, just genius idols. Kings of vocals, if you want to promote South Korea you want the best of the best. They are humble and well-spoken too, which is needed when there are fragile international relations that need to be mended. EXO are always at the top of the list on Weibo, they are highly popular in Asia.

It's definitely possible for people to lie or even misunderstand about bullying. Had a friend in middle school who had a special table at lunch due to her wheelchair. She got to pick 5 people to sit with her. One of them was a newer friend while the rest knew her since elementary. The newer friend was... odd? She would talk about living in a mansion and vacaying every summer in France which we were told wasn't true by others who stayed at her house. We knew she got in trouble before for stabbing another student with a pencil too. 😐 One day she hit me hard in the arm when she disagreed with me and the others convinced me to report it to an adult. Days later I was called to the principal's office and told that the newer girl and my friend in the wheel chair reported I was actually the bully. Like what? They even had a teacher ESCORT me away from "their" table. Like legit they told all of us the whole table meant for 5 people was only for those two and we couldn't sit there anymore. My parents got involved because the principal was calling me out of class daily to harass me even after I stopped talking to my previous friends. It turned out the principal's kid was handicap too so I was marked "bully of the handicap kids" by the principal when I didn't do anything. 😨 It was so traumatizing I'll ever forget it.

I think the cause of all these chaos is lack of chemistry within the group. Once jealous starts and unnecessary siding all this feelings arise.

[@1123Navi]

Lack of chemistry is probably part of it, but I think the company culture as a whole also played a large part, especially with how young many of the April members were at the start (besides Somin, who was an adult at debut I think). At young ages in particular, you can be really susceptible to the influence of your environment. Not that every person who is young in a more toxic company culture would do things like this, but there are plenty who would. Lots of kpop groups aren't actually all close friends with each other, but as far as I can tell are able to maintain appearances and be relatively professional with each other. By the least, they seem to manage avoiding bullying to the extent Hyunjoo experienced (which I don't doubt is more common than we know, but I would be very shocked if it was something present in the majority of groups).

I’m going to have to side with Hyunjoo for this case. Theirs so much proof that proves that their were somewhat bullying happening while she was active with the group. The brother showed hospital receipt, one of her uni.t member spoke about the situation (siding with her) and most of her members liked her recent post about the situation, and then her classmate in highschool who went in detail about what happened. If the April members and her have such a great friendship hyunjoo wouldn't have to say all this. She have no reason to. Yet she did.

True... I am also gonna support hyunjoo. Because why would be someone tried to suicide without any reason!!!!,.? Also her brother posted her medical documents on twitter!!! ,

[@thatonezerose]

exactly hyunjoo has no reason to do this especially when her brother is sued by dsp. just chawon and yena's replies to the accusation were things that confused me but again hyunjoo wont do this just like that. I feel like I'm being biased but I totally side with hyunjoo.

Its strange that we can find Chinatown in almost all Asian countries and also in North America. China loves to spread its cultural and social influence to other countries. At the same time they also exercises political muscle power in neighboring countries. It is hard to believe China. Nevertheless EXO still has big influence among Chinese people and its fandom is still very large in China. I hope political tension gets reduced so that LAY can do some promotions of EXO in future.

Regarding this April bullying thing, I think we should let the authorities sort it out. If April members are right, then Hyunjoo is weak mentally or easily triggered by stuff. Not that she did not feel hurt or that the April members really did not make her feel 100% comfortable. But we humans are highly perceptive of people's emotions and react on that. I know for a fact that if there's a person I feel doesn't like me/pushes me away, I will be civil and nice but I definitely won't go out my way to cozy up to them just to add to their ego. I have stuff to work on and complete, I can't baby someone everytime. Also, I've only seen snippets of Kard and both Somin and Jiwoo have strong and headstrong personalities (I've just seen their MV's and the neck slice thing). I guess if you don't really know your members / plagued by insecurities too much then it would be easy to think you are being put down. As someone who is a shy introvert who has an RBF (especially when you are on the workaholic/easily distracted side of the spectrum and not the bubbly, "I just met you, you're my friend now" type) I feel a bit peeved. I was also really awkwardly shy back then and naive about the world and people's personalities (call me egoistic) and was easily scared by people with strong and determined personalities. And sorry, this is a bit viewed from my experience but I hope ya'll would also understand that our generation now is fast to react and get triggered. And of course we always want to protect the "weak" party but maybe their viewpoint is also at fault and it added to the uncomfortable feeling which festered.

That would be incredible! I love BTS cover of Fix You from MTV Unplugged. It would be amazing to have Chris Martin and BTS actually perform the Coldplay song together. I think that he's in Seoul for that and also to work on a new song with BTS. It's clearly something that he didn't want to do remotely and warranted investing his time during the 14 day quarantine period.

Your right David about what has happened in Sydney Australia but not just in Sydney but all of Australia.

Ive watched enough video clips of Hyunjoo with April and Hyunjoo with The Unit contestants and I can see that she is the odd one. She tends to be self-centered and making big deal about simple things like when someone is not responding to her she assumed and told everyone that the person was angry at her when in fact the person is gravely ill and cant talk. LMAO she should chill. If the April members are fighting back this way, I believe that this really is just misunderstanding.

[@lovenala1987]

Regarding the bullying case - I think I will just watch. Watch how this goes, without taking sides because it's very unlikely for even the members to defend themselves. Usually, it's the company that relays these statements but for even the members to drop in their side, with evidence, that is rare. With Hyunjoo, her story also seems accurate, given how much she is getting supported, the hospital receipts and more. But one of them, is definitely lying. Right now, I don't have enough data to say which side is lying. Even if there are videos of the April Members misbehaving, one could also say that during that situation, perhaps the girls were excited or got carried away with emotions but that can't be *just* termed as misbehaviour. I don't want T-ARA 2.0 to happen. Those girls came under bullying allegations, when none of that happened and ultimately they had to disband, even though they were innocent. But I also don't want Mina 2.0 to happen, where Hyunjoo has to give up this fight and use dark measures as her ultimatum. I have been following her since Uni.T days and I know how lovable she is. So, for now, I'll just observe without taking sides. I hope the truth comes out soon.

[@namenom9524]

The thing with hyunjoo is that it's different from other cases in a sens that she spoke up because it's ongoing, it's not just to get sorry, After 5 Year from leaving the group thr company is still holding her hostage not letting her work or leave , that's why i believe in her side

[@lalisakim2256]

Honestly same danny, since these bullying scandals have been coming up a lot lately I actually took the time to reevaluate my whole life just to see if I have ever bullied someone before. In my mind, I don't remember bullying anyone, however I do have a cold and kinda harsh personality that could come off wrong, I don't remember tormenting anyone or seeing anyone cry because of me either, so Imma say I haven't bullied before but bullying comes in many forms so like I am so sorry if I have bullied you before.

I really don't know about April thing... Im not on either side because I know that a concept of bullying is different for every person when I was bullied it didn't feel like that to them and now that I'm older I understand and get that I could say more things and that I also was a bit sensitive even though they did bad things not realizing... I just understand that the members may also feel attacked when she suddenly came back and it started... she too must feel really bad if she decided to do that against a company which is hard but I'm not yet standed on a side

[@xaviaxx8]

Same, I always felt like I was bullied in school. Every single action they would do I felt like it was against me. Now I realize that, that is not true. Yes their behavior sometimes wasn't the best but they were never intentionally trying to bully me, and I feel really ashamed that I kept on being super sensitive when I needed to calm down and think about their personalities and behavior calmly. Sometimes the person who claims to be the victim is not always right, and they could be twisting other people's actions and take them against their selves unknowingly. (not taking sides against either april nor hyunjoo but there are sometimes these situations).

I think April's members statement should be like "i'm sorry for causing heat, i will do anything that the company told, see you on court with my side of story, and blablabla" instead, they wrote those 'emotionally heated' letter by lowering hyunjoo's dignity.. they should call their lawyer before making bold statement because they just sound like they really are a bad and irresposible person (in the law's eyes).. this is my view as someone who works with law.

[@kwek2243]

True but international fans seemed to sided in April instead but I think the management and April response where just to trigger hyunjoo. They should have been more neutral like. "Sorry for this chaos. We were discussing this to court" instead of putting all their feelings in social media.

3:07 well to be honest the THAAD is a different air defense system separated from the Patriot and supposed to be a complement to it because it's basically a dedicated anti-ballistic missile defense system. The Patriot itself has some anti-ballistic capabilities, especially the PAC-3 version, but killing very small objects re-entering the atmosphere at highly hypersonic speeds is a really complicated matter, thus the need (according to the US doctrine) for a dedicated system.
