[instiz] COMPILATION OF IDOLS WHO ARE VICTIMS OF HYBE

"In fact, most of the attacks on (TWS) can be defended with (RIIZE). If someone says a member is ugly, you can counter with old photos of (Sohee), and if someone criticizes (Hanjin)'s dancing, you can show (Anton), who's still stiff."

"People are starting to pay attention to the team again because of Jaechan, but it's difficult for them to go beyond just being Jaechan's team, as the other members are surprisingly ugly. It's clear why they haven't gained popularity until now. Jaechan stands out a bit like an idol, and his personality fits the idol image as well, which is why he's been involved in all the pairings and treated like a princess within the team. It seems the company has been trying to push him towards acting as well."

"When they gather all the members together, the synergy of ugliness was unbearable. It seems even worse because the line-up includes Sung Hanbin, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, and Kim Jiwoong, who are all top-tier (in terms of ugliness)."

"Perhaps because of the talk about HYBE's new team <R U NEXT>, information about SM's new girl group suddenly started spreading. About 8 candidates have been shortlisted, but surprisingly, none of them are pretty. I wondered if their trainee infrastructure was even worse than BABYMONSTER's, but considering that everyone was shocked by the looks when aespa debuted, it makes me wonder if SM's aesthetic sense itself has changed."

"Over the years, former JYP girl groups like Wonder Girls, Hyuna, and Sunmi have experienced similar issues, and their subsequent paths reflect that. Miss A's Min, for instance, underwent so much plastic surgery during her appearance on 'King of Mask Singer' this year that she was almost unrecognizable. It’s evident that they've been exposed to an environment where mental defenses are hard to maintain for a long time, with strong signs of this particularly manifesting in their appearance and s** appeal. In that regard, I can’t help but feel that similar signs are emerging in Yuna as well, which raises long-term concerns."

"Throughout this time, the fandom's defense logic for aespa's live performance skills was that 'the company doesn't let the capable members perform,' but that narrative was shattered at Coachella. Now, the issue has shifted back to lip-syncing, and the fandom is quickly redirecting their blame away from the team and towards other sources. It seems that the SM fandom is particularly quick to shift issues and set new narratives in this regard. To protect the members, the company needs to take on the role of the villain, and blaming the company is the easiest way to respond to aespa's relatively stagnant position compared to other 4th-generation girl groups."

"There was no such thing, but when fans jokingly suggested that they were eating chocolate bars because they were struggling during practice, it just earned them ridicule. That scene was deleted and the video was re-uploaded, and the scene was already reported for indoor smoking. It's not about SM, but several members of NCT have already faced controversy over smoking. It’s problematic that such issues aren’t being filtered out when they're in practice rooms or during contents. It’s disturbing how communities that went into a frenzy over Jungkook smoking outdoors in designated areas, but they would let it pass even when they see it in other's content."

"Recently, Haewon introduced a collection of short stories she was reading, but I heard there were quite a few posts from male communities stirring up drama by calling one of them a 'feminist book.' It's an anthology of works by young domestic writers, and I can’t help but wonder how many active young Korean authors aren't feminist. This uproar doesn’t seem to significantly impact NMIXX, but it could be used to stir up drama by suggesting that Haewon tried to gain attention through feminism and ended up harming the team when things weren’t going well.

"And regarding the case of IVE, there are claims that staff members have been residing in female-oriented cafes like Women Generation to maintain order among fans. They positioned the group as a consistently popular choice among women in their 20s and 30s, thanks in part to the reactions from these communities, with allegations that company personnel were directly involved. It’s said that they would go to posts with negative comments about Monsta X, causing a stir and leading attacks against other boy groups. I wonder if it was less known that female fans in the idol scene are seen as an untouchable group."

"The more serious issue is that if you stop to look at any scene, there are only four members, and there isn’t a single moment where the dancing aligns. There have been many comments since the 'Girls' activities that they don’t seem to practice for their stages, and it feels like the teamwork itself hasn’t grown at all. No matter how many top songs IVE or aespa have and how much public recognition they gain, I believe the reactions during the tour will ultimately come down to their performance skills, and I expect this will soon reflect in the results."

"<Eunchae's Star Diary> seems to have settled down in terms of reactions since Kyujin joined the content. There appears to be a strong wariness about the cute ‘girl next door’ gimmick involving someone else’s older brother. The atmosphere is quite playful, with the two high school girls teasing each other, asking ‘Do you have other friends besides me?’ From Eunchae's perspective, it was necessary to have an approach that allowed her to show her true self more comfortably at this time for character building. They also filmed a dance challenge video together. But because Eunchae was way taller, the physical difference is quite painful to see. 

When I think of Stray Kids' Changbin, who was almost the same height during the NM challenge, it makes me even sadder. It's especially hard because CB is friends with NM, and seeing them together in the camera makes my heart ache even more.

Of course, performing on stage and hosting well is important, but Yeonjun just standing there holds significance. It just so happened that the interview team included NCT DREAM and Stray Kids, and both groups were physically overshadowed by YJ to the point that it felt almost uncomfortable to watch. Soobin is already recognized for his height, and his character image has a gentle and clumsy vibe, so it didn’t feel too out of place, but when Yeonjun stands next to Changbin, the difference is quite noticeable.

On Sunday, I suddenly saw on Instiz that Taehyun's snake controversy was brought up again, and I was wondering what happened. It seems that someone who watched <Inkigayo> was triggered by a button press from TXT.

"With NewJeans, ILLIT, and LE SSERAFIM, the phrase "New-I-LE" from HYBE has started appearing in the community, and there has been a slight increase in mentions of ILLIT. (...) If ILLIT starts using virtual characters on YouTube, this team could become the channel that connects to the OSB universe.

In this era of girl groups selling over a million copies, I think it’s necessary to categorize BLACKPINK, LE SSERAFIM, aespa, and IVE differently from the 4th generation movement. I've been struggling with the NewJeans wording for days, but it would be easier to just drop "New" and create something new."

New-I-LE wording, NewJeans

"I definitely feel that a position like NMIXX’s could be penetrable. They naturally exude a bright and cheerful vibe, which unfortunately isn’t always fully well-expressed in girl groups.

Especially with Wonhee, if they can compare themselves to the famous Maltese that often has dirt on their faces, it would be great to appeal to that by assigning each member a dog breed that suits them while approaching issues in female-oriented and low-teen communities."

"Above all, LSRFM has now established significant trust regarding their performances, so they are in a position to scale up their tour and compete with boy groups. BlackPink targeted Coachella and has had many interactions with overseas celebrities, but there was an issue with not operating the team effectively. TWICE has solidified their teamwork and is holding stadium concerts, but the situation is too loose in terms of gaining attention. If LSRFM combines the strengths of both, I believe it's quite possible for them to fill the void left by major girl groups."

TWICE, BlackPink

"Still, up until the video, the atmosphere conveyed a sense of 'they're trying to do something,' but the public opinion has been getting worse since the photos. The first photo teaser isn’t a reinterpretation of 2NE1; it looks more like cosplay-style styling. The second teaser featured members in a snowy set wearing fur hats, fur boots, and crystal bikinis, which were somewhat cliché. There were criticisms pointing out that the styling details, composition, and poses are identical to those found in overseas shopping mall photos."
