hi welcome to my totally legit kpop news show my name is angelina and i'm your host for today
on this fine sunday where we basically talk about all of the kpop news from throughout the week and
today we're going to be discussing minzy having revealed that blackpink's as if it's your last was
a demo for 2NE1, ateez is having a comeback and a status update on mingi's hiatus, sm seemingly
evading taxes and so much more so if you're interested in any of these topics please don't
forget to like comment and share it with friends you don't have because you know lonely times also
if you're interested in only one or two of these subjects i've separated this video into super
fancy segments so you can effectively scroll to wherever you would like will it mess with my watch
time i mean yes and frankly there's not really a way you can make it up to me because i have
decided to close my subscriptions i will for sure inform you when the situation has been rectified
but first let us start with 2-2-2-2-2-N-E-1
...i will see myself out so minzy appeared on a radio show and on that show she basically
expressed that blackpink's as if it's your last was actually a demo for 2NE1 but that they passed
on the song because there are many other good songs for their album she even went as far as
seeing the original version of the demo, so as if it's your last could have been titled "blame
it on your love" how interesting but also quite unsurprising as when as if it's your last came out
a lot of fans were screaming at the fact that it sounded like a 2NE1 song that had very much
2NE1 vibes which caused much of debate but once it was actually confirmed i mean all the second gen
stands were like i [ __ ] knew it, i could feel it in my bones but also this explains it a lot
because you know you can bet it on black black jack... oh [ __ ] and actually on top of people
already suspecting that the song had 2NE1 vibes there was this mashup going around of 2NE1's go
away and blackpink's as if it's your last which was spread under the context that this was the
original version for as if it's your last so i think for a long time people were already
convinced even though that song was an edit but i digress but of course this is nothing new within
the industry and i did want to point that out it is absolutely not uncommon for an artist to make a
demo and then it ultimately going to a different artist we've seen this time and time again for
blackpink and 2NE1 it causes a lot more tension between fans because of yg's rich ass history of
basically setting up blackpink pre-debut by saying he wanted to create 2NE1 but prettier his words
not mine please direct your anger to the proper authorities, but for example twice's more and
more you know had a demo by zara larsen or even psycho by red velvet and monster by segi and irene
had original english demos which honestly surprises a lot of fans because they're convinced
that specific songs really fit their group's aesthetic or their group sound but when they
find out that maybe it wasn't maybe it was someone else's demo at first they get a little bit upset
and there are actually plenty of compilations on youtube that show this not only for k-pop songs
that were meant for other artists but also western songs that were meant for other artists so it's
ultimately super interesting when things like this get revealed especially for a group like 2NE1 who
has an unreleased album and i'm sure plenty of unreleased music videos but not my circus
within this radio interview she also expressed that she was scouted by sm and she could have
potentially debuted with fx and she also spoke about how her and her fellow 2NE1 members keep
on talking about a reunion i guess i'll just be waiting that's so sad alexa play er by dalmatian,
who am i kidding she doesn't know that song she's the fourth gen stan but alas i'd be super curious
to know what you think of all this in the comments down below let's move on to ats who have teased us
with a comeback as well as kq entertainment who have given us an update on mingi's hiatus
with the following statement hello this is kq entertainment we are writing to inform you about
mingi's current condition participation in the new album and his activities so for context mingi had
taken a break in november due to anxiety so the group had been promoting as seven members they
go on to express that he has been focusing on resting on psychological counseling and
just overall regaining stability and that after speaking with his counselor mingi himself and
his parents they agreed that a lot of progress had been made however it was decided that he
will focus a bit more on recovery as everyone agreed that him returning when his health is
not completely recovered could also cause more worry in the long term and so ateez will indeed
continue to promote as seven members though KQ assured fans that recording of the album took
place before his hiatus so we could still hear his voice in that album we asked for 18y support so
that mingi can return to activities in good health and in the future we will share a notice regarding
the status of his activities therefore we ask for your understanding over the fact that for these
promotions ateez will be promoting with seven members rather than as the full group with all
eight members thank you so obviously fans would love to have him back i did want to talk about
this for a minute because i think it's really incredibly important when it comes to things like
mental health issues and idols taking break for mental health issues it is of utmost importance
to show these companies that it's okay as someone who's been a kpop fan for a long time this is
a generally new thing that i've seen you know 10 years ago someone could be terribly injured
terribly weak and still be forced to perform even if they physically could not dance they
would still have to sit on the sidelines and perform sitting down instead of going home and
just recovering so of course historically idols have had to push through a lot of things so to
see that idols have the option to heal i think is very amazing so of course you're allowed to miss
a member if they're not there but to be demanding about it is another story but yes with this update
of course we also have ateez who are having a comeback on march 1st they had posted a series of
very bright blue pictures one that has a tree with a bunch of different hints from previous comebacks
a lot of people have turned this into a meme but this was captioned from the new world now i came
to learn of the term new world from my studies on parrots because you have new world parrots and
old world parrots there's also another post with blue and green flowers and a bold text that says
i'm the one in my zone and a caption that says we don't need nothing come by my side now
which i'm personally going to predict will be a b-side track but who knows i'm just kind of
basing myself off the fact that the first teaser for their last set of comebacks was
this photo where it says maybe we're living younger that's why we're fever so i'm predicting
that it's going to be a b-side called zone or in the zone but since i predicted that they released
this following photo which you know could i don't even know anymore but i've definitely seen a lot
of atinys talking about illusion and utopia and how that could all tie together and i definitely
think it could because they're mentioning the new world and in illusion they were on a ship right
and they also teased a ship in thanks so i feel like somehow that could all tie together now i
had all my predictions written out before this photo came out and i was gonna say definitely
super punk vibes a dark illusion because illusion was very bright it would be a kind of continuation
of answer but then they're in these suits and everything is just really bright and
frankly i'm a little thrown off but again maybe that is the b-side track and we're gonna get a
really hardcore really dark really black-cat nero vibes for their next song very punk fairy goth but
i would love to know in the comments down below what your predictions are for ateez's comeback
now let's move on to a little segment that i like to call kpop shenanigans which is basically fun
little things that have happened in kpop this week don't forget if you'd like to suggest something
for kpop shenanigans or suggest a specific news topic you can do so over on my instagram because
i'm currently not being cancelled so we have aespa who released forever which is actually a remake
of yoo young jin's song so if it gives you retro vibes maybe that's why we have hyuna who released
her music video for a good girl, momoland and chromance came together to make a remake of wrap
me in plastic and girl have released a remix for their song hwaa with dimitri vegas and like mike,
now of course we have to talk about sm's tax evasion we thought yg was bad but honestly
like i don't think many of these companies are actually good now apparently looking into this
and i'm surprised that i haven't heard about this before but apparently this is not the first time
that sm has been under hot water for evading taxes or fishy fishy like things of that nature so no
not the first not even the second but the third time that their chairman and the company itself
has been investigated there's like a lot and i don't know like we cannot get into all of this
today now they have denied it each time which is also the case this time but authorities had
suspected there was unusual ongoings within the company some financial information being left out
of reports and so on and it seems now that they have to pay 20.2 billion won which contributes
what translates no which is roughly 18 million dollars to the national tax service seoul regional
office so sm has already responded to this they said that they will pay the 18 million within
the one month that they were given but ultimately they will appeal this in court but with this news
we have fans predicting that we're gonna get an ogg come back we're gonna get an exit come back
we're gonna get it all so i'm really interested in how things will pan out and i would love to
know what you think of this as well as what do you think sm's next comeback is
going to be like their next big comeback let me know in the comments down below
