Why haven't they been sued?
I think they have been, and that it's been settled quietly through mediation. With these things it's easy to claim that it was a coincidence or claim "interpolation", and then the mediator helps them settle for a set amount of money.

I haven't seen @riana Gr@nde interact with or talk about BT5 in a long time. Leads me to believe that something happened. Cause they were all buddy-buddy before.

Do you think that's why they acquired the management company for Bi3ber and Ari@na Gra@nde?
It's very possible that BigSh!t bought that company to make everyone shut up. Plus, if they own the rights to anything, I think they can reproduce it multiple times with slight variation and get away with it. Sort of like how SM Ent. groups all sound the same, because they reuse the same things over and over again. Kpop fans will use the excuse that groups sound the same because of sharing the same producer. It's not that at all.

Take 2NE1 and Bl@ckpink for example. Several BP songs sound like 2NE1 songs, and there's a whole 2NE1 album that we never got to hear. YG Ent. owns the rights to that unreleased music, and I think they used it for BP. BP fans have tried for years to say that because Teddy was/is the producer for both groups, that that is why they sound similar. So then explain to me why Lisa not only raps like CL but even copies her mannerisms? Like come on, we are NOT stupid and we can see what is happening.

yes but 2ne1 and BlackPink were from the same company, so it could be possible they have the same producers etc and the songs are similar to each others

I wonder if Tae takes JM's stuff to tease him, and JM doesn't handle teasing well at all (Libras are terrible at this) so JM smacks him around.

They have the strangest relationship. They claim to be best friends but they fight constantly. Even the other members have said they fight a lot. Their "friendship" is so toxic. It's like when JK and Jin playfight, cause that's more genuine. Tae and JM straight up shouldn't be around each other.

I often wonder how envious JM was of Tae when he did that Celine photoshoot thing. JM has always been "the model", but in the last few years Tae has taken over the "model" spot. JM had to have been wishing he was the chosen one.

They haven't mentioned her either. A settlement has a confidentiality agreement. I wonder what happened between them.

I'll go check those out. I don't have social media except for youtube, but I have been watching the videos people post here which has opened my eyes a lot. I recently deleted my weverse and vlive accounts. I thought I was obsessed with bts, but then I became a fan of txt. at first I thought they were relatable and more genuine, but after learning everything about what goes on it's not hard to see something's wrong. while their songs are stuck in my head and I do admit I'm guilty of sometimes playing one of their songs, it's not as much as I used to before when I would listen 25/8 so that's an improvement. I do kinda get scared sometimes when I got to sleep because I've had a couple really weird/creepy kpop dreams that seem very realistic. though those were last year. I haven't had a dream in a while so it surprised me. for the past year I've just lost interest in everything. my mental health isn't the best because of family issues, masturbation addiction, suicide/sh, etc. and kpop (mostly bts/txt) was the only thing that made me happy. I tend to daydream a lot as a way to escape reality (a lot of my past daydreams were related to kpop in some way). that's probably one of the only things keeping me somewhat mentally stable. I keep telling myself that they don’t actually care about me and they’re fake but even then I still subconsciously daydream about them. so the hardest part for me is getting rid of the emotional dependence and parasocial relationships I have on them. I’m really lonely and have no one to open up to about anything except for my pillow and stuffed animals, or the imaginary people I make up in my head (I have no friends and my family thinks I’m a ✨dumb✨lazy✨ungrateful✨ brat that doesn’t have feelings because I’m only 13 :)). so I’ve been trying to pray more and connect with God again because I know only He can truly free me from everything but it’s really difficult for me to be consistent in worship. but I guess it’s gonna take time and effort. sorry for the mini vent. thank you for the advice! you’re really sweet. it’s really assuring to me knowing that you and others could get out of kpop. God bless you (and everyone else too)!
ill respond to your post soon i've just been a bit busy lately. unrelated lmao but also how were you able to add more emojis?

Something shifted during the b.utter promotions. Usually Tae has very few lines, nothing to say in interviews or is ignored. He's usually next to Sg in choreography. Now he's the face of btees and Jm is the it boy in name only. I think he got better sponsors and being close to the chaebol helped. Jm stopped giving services or there's less demand. Sg and Jh have been the breakouts for this hiatus, with lollapalooza and going on ps.y's new hit.

I think being close to the Chaebol helped indeed. Tae also has an intense following, and I'm sure the demand that fans have for him aids in his popularity too.

I've heard that JM doesn't give services anymore. I've also heard rumors of him being in a relationship for the last several years, and the relationship started right before he went to Paris (that trip during their "break" where he was filmed playing a drinking game with a fan). There was also video taken by sasaengs that showed JM shopping with this guy, and there was debate about whether that was his boyfriend or not. Services from JM lessened around that time, so I wouldn't be surprised if the relationship has anything to do with it. This is all speculation though, based on what I've read elsewhere, there's no hardcore proof.

To clarify, "services" is sexually serving the higher ups in H^VE (or whomever they demand)? Some kind of quid pro quo for them (BTEEZ) to get privileges or preferred treatment??

That's what I thought it was too.

Which reminds me, I wanted to mention that Sug@ seems to get a lot of preferential treatment. All these opportunities to produce for these big artists, and while P.SY said Sug@ went to him directly, I gotta wonder how many of these opportunities are from him giving out services. Bang Pedo has always had this weird fascination with Sug@ cause of his light skin, so it wouldn't surprise me at all.

I'm fairly certain they are all dating. J00n gets dodgy whenever he's asked about it, so I'm willing to bet he's in a relationship. He's a crappy liar. YG gets mega defensive so he's probably defending a relationship. The other guys giggle or act stupid, but still, with them it's obvious they all have partners. And like you said, HS brought his girlfriend to palooza so with him it's extra obvious.

HS has some serious balls to parade his girlfriend around in front of fans without fear of them going crazy on him.

There's a video of Jk camping, I'm sure he wasn't alone in that..

I can honestly relate to everything you just said. when I got into kpop I would always be comparing myself to the idols. I would starve to get the "perfect body" that they had, and then it became a cycle of me binging and starving, repeat. I now hate almost everything about me, and it doesn't help when other people are confirming my thoughts. I did go to the masjid yesterday for prayer (I'm muslim) and I felt really different afterwards. I'm just going to try to start step by step and hopefully get out of kpop and establish a close relationship with God. I also stared volunteering somewhere else a couple months ago so that keeps me a little busy plus school's starting for me. the thing that kinda hurts me even more is because I know they care about me and have good intentions and I'm really lucky that most of them know about all the filth and lies going on these days, so it makes me feel guilty for feeling this way. but they're always taking their anger out on me and nitpicking at me. I have to be the "peacemaker" when my parents are fighting which is happening a lot these days. when I was younger I was bullied at school but they just brushed it off. whenever I breakdown I'm just overreacting to them (I'm sensitive to a lot of things and have a bunch of other issues). that led to me not being open with them and now that I'm older I don't tell them anything. but later in the future I'll try talking to them again. thank you very much for the recommendations! I used to recite certain Quran verses (the 3 Quls) before I go to sleep for protection but I've been forgetting lately + bad sleep schedule due to staying up late/pulling all-nighters. I'll take this as a reminder. aw, thank you so much. I just want to remind you that know that you're worth it. God thinks you're worth it. I love and care about you too and I pray that everything gets better for you. I apologize if this part seemed like a bad attempt to reassure you or something I'm not really good with words but know that I mean it. God bless you too
Yes take things step by step, you don't have to rush it's very important. And if you fall and revert back don't beat yourself up about it, just examine what went wrong and strive to try even harder as you pick yourself back up. I'm sorry with what's happening with life at home, I know it must be tough and mentally draining. I wish I could give some advice but I since I don't know you or your family personally I guess it's best to just find complete trust and comfort in God in those situations. Bring all your troubles and burdens up to Him cause he cares. I am also sensitive to alot of things (which is one of things I don't like about myself lol) so I'm currently trying to fix that by talking to Him and telling him what's troubling me. I'll pray for you and your family as well that there may be peace and reconciliation. Thank you so much, and don't worry about it lol, I appreciated your post. God bless again and I hope your day/night is well

There's credible evidence that he's with an American soccer player. I think he's bisexual but leans towards women. Men who sleep with other men for money aren't gay, but it can influence their sexuality. He's obviously fallen out of favor. The modeling went to Tae, Jk is the new it boy, and the group treats him like trash.
