he may have buleo-buleo'd one too many times! this is where the legal action
comes into place, only six thousand people actually showed up and it seems
that kpop fans and possibly TikTokers as well could be the reason for
this! hi welcome to my totally legit kpop news show my name is Angelina and today
we're gonna talk about a lot of very interesting things notably Kpop fans
allegedly pranking a Trump rally we're also gonna touch on Seonghwa's hip
injury and also a huge update to Taeyong's bullying accusations have come up by
none other than dispatch so let's get started actually I'm gonna stop you
right there to remind you just subscribe like comment and share this video with
friends you don't have because fun fact I have a lot of enemies I also wanted to
take a minute before we get into the kpop news to let you know about I have
updated the links in the description box I'm also gonna pin them in a comment
just updated links for black lives matter movement some organizations you
can support some petitions you can sign as well as some indigenous organizations
as well okay so I don't know how many of you follow American news I feel like I
have a big US following so it seems that Trump was going to have a rally of sorts
and Trump himself was boasting about how a million people had RSVP'd to this
event and this was despite the fact that it probably was not a good idea in the
first place to even hold such event given this here pandemic that we're in
also given the fact that the event could only hold 19,000 people but alas on the
date of the event it seems that around only 6,000 people actually showed up
which left him with a very unfilled venue and it seems that kpop fans and
possibly tiktokers as well could be the reason for this now we are certainly
no strangers to how kpop fans can use kpop for good you know we've definitely
seen in the past how they've used you know kpop activism to drown out super
problematic discourse on certain hashtags by essentially spamming these
hashtags with kpop content and how they manage to take down a whole ass police
app whose entire purpose was to identify
protesters to then you know essentially incarcerate them during a time where
defunding the police is super fundamental so for this rally in
particular it seems that a lot of k-pop fans are going online and encouraging
people to RSVP to the events because the event did offer free tickets and to just
not show up which seems to be the case as we see that a lot of people have just
not shown up, you know despite him literally boasting that you know a
million people had RSVP'd but of course there's always people there trying to
rain on our parade so you know of course people saying that they have ways to
weed up the trolls and you know try to discredit the work of kpop fans know if
I can take my journalistic hat off for a second I just want to say that I believe
in my heart that kpop fans manage to do this after what I've been through and
what I've seen a lot of people go through at the hands of harassment by
kpop fans I believe this could be a thing, so yeah
what do you think do you think kpop fans actually managed to do this or do you
think it just happened that not a lot of people showed up? okay so now we're going
to move on to this very important update that has come through for Taeyong's
bullying accusation case and surprisingly this comes from dispatch so
let's give a little bit of a recap you know from the beginning so when he was
younger he did indeed leave you know a mean comment about someone's weight on a
specific picture online and we will refer to this person as victim B because
that is what SM refers t to them as so years later this is brought to light and
SM gives an official statement that is a little bit confusing for a lot of people
as I've expressed before in another video which I have since taken down and
I'll explain to you why I taken it down a bit later, the sentiments in SM
statement show that Taeyong is sorry though they also kind of minimize the issue and
so the handling of the entire situation is definitely not the most appreciated
by a lot of people not only because the statement seemed a little bit vague but
also because fans felt that SM were not doing enough to protect Taeyong against
these allegations although it's really important to note that you know parts of
these allegations were actually true he did indeed
leave a mean comment about someone's weight when he was younger
however there was also a lot of misinformation being spread along with
that that has since been cleared up by dispatch but anyways it seems that Taeyong
met with the victim and apologized and offered compensation and as after this
informant A offers up these text messages that are altered and it kind of
shows that the victim is expressing that Taeyong's apology doesn't seem sincere and
it kind of goes on to express you know his mannerisms when it came to the
apology how he was kind of you know looking out the window not really
looking at her not really being sincere with his apology but it seems now that
Dispatch have gotten their hands on the actual KakaoTalk messages between the
victim B and Taeyong himself and it definitely shows a much different story
in the messages we can see that victim B is encouraging Taeyong to take care of
himself and to avoid injuries and we can also see how Taeyong is inviting victim B
to his concerts even wanting to send them a code so that they can join their
online concert so not only where the messages brought forth by informant a
false but informant A also brought up the fact that you know Taeyong promised to
do volunteer work and to donate money to organizations that help fight school
violence and they basically said that they weren't sure that that was actually
done he had actually done anything that he had promised he would do though when
dispatch actually looked into this they found that he had indeed done a lot of
volunteer work since his debut on multiple occasions and also that he
donated a total of 50 million korean won since his debut so now in light of all
this new information of all this accurate information and now that we
know that the text messages between informant B **Correction: Taeyong and victim A were falsified
sm have released a statement basically saying that the informant has been
spreading one-sided misinformed and very exaggerated information and then goes on
to say previously Taeyong sincerely apologized to victim b for the mistakes
he made in middle school days and provided b with compensation
despite this informant a went on making malicious one-sided claims based on
exaggerated truths until now we exercise patience despite
knowing of informants aids actions as informant a is a former classmate of
Taeyong we were also concerned about any secondary offences against others
related Taeyong middle school friends and acquaintances as well as the fact
that Taeyong was worried about inflicting unnecessary damages on his fellow former
classmates so then this is where SM really steps up to the plate a lot of
people previously were very angry as and because they felt that they weren't
doing enough to protect him against malicious comments however such
exaggerated information was spread and nurtured until these events severely
violated the privacy of not only Taeyong but also his family in addition to
severely defaming Taeyong's character among other offenses as a result it has come
to a point where we cannot show any more benevolence, benevolence? as we must
protect our artists this is where the legal action comes into place if
informant A continues to post malicious content and accusations directed towards
Taeyong we will not sit by idly but act with strict legal action now from what I
understand like a defamation lawsuit in South Korea is a lot easier to do than
it would be in let's say North America from what I've read at least like even
if you say something that is true about someone and it defames them in any way
you could still have a defamation lawsuit on your hands in South Korea
however like in a North American context you have to say something that is false
and that could defame someone to have a defamation lawsuit so I just wanted to
point that out and then basically the rest of the statement goes on to say
that they're going to be strengthening their measures from now on to protect
their artists so obviously a lot of fans are very happy about this because I
don't know if you remember previously but there was a hashtag that came about
that was protect Taeyong in light of a lot of the malicious and you know
defamatory accusations that were being spread around and actually this hashtag
did receive a lot of backlash because this hashtag was brought forth when
informant a kind of expressed that NCT fans were harassing them to a point that
they were basically hospitalized and there was also
of information going around at that time a lot of people were dead set that he
was never a bully he never did anything wrong in his lifetime so a lot of fans
are kind of you know on that end of the spectrum there were some fans on the in
the middle of the spectrum who acknowledged that he may have done
something wrong but you know he apologized for it and he absolutely made
amends I mean there's no doubt about that and then you know at the other end
of the spectrum there are people demanding that he leave your group so I
just feel more comfortable with this video knowing that we have all of the
information all of the pertinent information and that is why I privated
the original video okay so now let's move on to my little segment called kpop
shenanigans which is basically just fun things that have happened in kpop
recently so we have EXO-SC a subunit of EXO who will be making their comeback
on July 13th with an album titled 1 billion views and the teaser has since
been released we also have Yunho from Ateez who released his Anews series and
a lot of people are kind of pointing to the fact that there may be some spoilers
within this episode I don't know I when the content comes out I like to analyze
it but everything before like it I can't and we also have ONEUS who have
released their official light stick now on to some more Ateez news actually so it
has come to our attention that Seonghwa has a hip injury and consequently he
will not be able to perform at the online version of kcon they released a
statement expressing that due to a recent modern dance lesson he
experienced pain near his hip joint and has since been diagnosed with a mild
sprain they then go on to say that he has been advised by the medical team to
avoid intense movement for about two weeks and again consequently we'll only
be taking part in the meet-and-greet segment of K-contact 2020 summer they
then and off by expressing that he will also not be participating in upcoming
activities and from what I know I think Ateez was supposed to perform on a music
show on the 26 if that's even true I have in fact checked that I just saw
