I didn't bring this up before because there is no proof that I know of, but when I had my old twittr account I saw a few Koreans talk about teazen, the drink jk mentioned in his live. They said the founder of teazen was in cahoots with bang p*do and a shareholder of hype. This was before their sales blew up. Jk was basically just advertising and he brought it up again in his next live saying armys sold out the drink. Well after that sales skyrocketed and they expanded. They won brand of the year recently...
Also members wearing unknown clothing is sus too..
Then there was the whole staff using jn and rm's live to promote her friends food business. So this thing about t*e doesn't surprise me. It all comes full circle.
An account that is now deactivated had opened my eyes about how Kpop really works. They talked about personas and how every idol was given the same handful of one's for each group. How everytime they do a vlive it's done for the purpose of secretly promoting a product of some sort. Take this
Jn bday live for example, he's there to advertise Samsung. Crazy!
