hi welcome to my totally legit k-pop news show my name is angelina and we're officially in 2021
and basically on sundays we talk about all of the kpop news from throughout the week
and today we're going to be talking about Jisoo from black pink having her english criticized
in a list of most beautiful faces yg announcing that lisa and rosé are currently preparing for
their solos dispatch revealing their new year couple elkie from clc and cube updates and bom
being seemingly mistreated by her manager and fans reactions and so much more so if
you're interested in this type of video please make sure to subscribe and click that bell to
be notified every time i upload a new video also feel free to skip around to whatever
segment you would like to start with because i've separated this video into super fancy segments
will it mess with my watch time probably but i assure you i have bigger things to worry about
let's start off with Jisoo being on a list of most beautiful faces
while also being shamed for her english what is the correlation you might ask let's try to get to
the bottom of it so this is a popular list from tc candler and from what i've read every year
they release a list of the most beautiful faces which they regard on their website as the most
internationally recognized and prestigious list of its kind and this year Jisoo made it to number 50
which is her highest ranking as she's appeared on it once before now that's not inherently the
issue here no one is getting angry that she made it to number 50 people are angry at the caption
that was released alongside of it now when people are put onto this list usually there's a little
bit of a joke within the caption you know for example twice's chaeyong they wrote risky risky
rappy rappy singy singy dancy dancy in reference to her part in i can't stop me however for jisoo
they wrote her english is a pity so let's dive a little bit into the context surrounding this
so for those who don't know one of her favorite phrases is that's a pity which we came to know of
on the jimmy kimmel show when she said so herself jisoo what is your favorite word in english it's a
pity and there's even a clip online of her using the phrase against lisa when she mispronounces
dumpling after having just learned the meaning of that's a pity she then applied it to the situation
but a lot of people are pointing to the fact that the context of this clip is entirely different
from the context of the caption of writing in a caption that her own english is a pity so of
course fans are angry and have pointed to the fact that it's quite xenophobic consequently
we started seeing the hashtag apologize to jisoo tc candler trending on twitter it seems that they
have responded to a few people in regards to this but just know that i can't personally verify this
as it seems to have been deleted if you don't get that the jisoo line was her own joke then i don't
know what to tell you we love jisoo and she will like that joke end of discussion and it seems that
this response angered people even more because again it's a joke that's taken out of its original
social context that made a lot more sense than it does in this list of a hundred beautiful faces and
whether or not it was her own joke she said plenty of other funny things that could have been used
i can come up right here on the spot of something like equally as lame but like not as problematic
her face is not a pity i don't [ __ ] know mic dropped but i won't because it was 30 as
of filming right now tc candler has not officially addressed the situation aside from responses that
have since been deleted but as i mentioned in my kpop trends that i need to stop in 2021 video
one of the points i mentioned was definitely criticizing idols english like unnecessarily
unless you're that idol's english teacher i just feel like it's unnecessary if you're able to
understand someone when they're speaking that's it like that's literally it you can ask someone
for clarifications but to go out of your way to correct someone when they haven't asked you to
now let us move on to dispatch who have revealed their new year couple so on january 1st dispatch
did indeed reveal a new couple though it wasn't seven k-pop couples as a lot of people
theorized previously though in response to that rumor a lot of people clarified that dispatch had
said that they would reveal a couple that had been together for seven months and not seven
k-pop couples but that rumor was definitely interesting in terms of what couples people
have been coming up with so hyunbin and son yejin who are actors from the drama crash landing on
you were reported to be dating on january 1st now they also appeared in a movie together in 2018 and
have denied dating rumors multiple times though it seems that their relationship only started
after crash landing on you and so when this news was released both of their companies respectively
said that they were going to look into it and check in with their actors but really not too long
after that they indeed confirmed the validity of this news both vast and ms entertainment expressed
that they met through previous acting projects and ended up getting into relationship after the
end of their drama now some people have been a little bit disappointed with this news because
again a lot of people were actually expecting seven k-pop couples which would have been really
um regardless people wanted something juicier as for me i'm actually really happy that they're
together because the ending of that drama just really rubbed me the wrong way so i'm really
glad to find kind of peace to the ending of that within their real lives am i is that okay
that being said i do acknowledge how creepy it is for dispatch to follow people around to take
pictures of them without their consent and then release those pictures to the public along with
their news reports but on a different note it's definitely a drama that i would recommend super
interesting storyline also leave in the comments down below who were you convinced
was going to be released and then they ended up not being released
let's now move on to a segment that i like to call k-pop shenanigans which is basically fun little
things that have happened on k-pop this week did i say on k-pop sm town had a free concert where
red velvet finally performed us five again yg entertainment have confirmed that lisa and rosé
are preparing their solo activities ms rosé apparently is filming her music video in january
with lisa solo to follow and then of course Jisoo so let me know if you want me to make
a predictions video for their solos i made a rose prediction video over a year ago thinking it was
gonna come out really soon after that but you know how blinks are g idle released a concept
video for i burn rain and jyp released their duet for switch to me woo i've released their
music video for i don't miss you and txt's Beomgyu released the cutest picture of his amazon parrot
it was imperative that i shared this with you in this segment also the kpop meme of the week
is whatever the hell this is i don't know but it just made me laugh for a really long time
now i did want to take a minute to talk about elkie and cube entertainment this
was something that did happen last week while i was on my little kpop news break but there are
some updates i thought it was still relevant so essentially elkie from clc filed a lawsuit against
her company cube entertainment she's basically asking for a termination of her contract because
she alleges that cube violated said contract on multiple occasions for example she claims that
she never received pay for her acting jobs and that cube just kind of kept that money and she
also claims that cube informed clc that they will no longer be supporting the group which left her
with a kind of uncertain future so the law firm that wrote this letter demands that her contract
be terminated and that cube send her her financial statements within 15 days i'll leave a link to the
translation of this letter in the description box and she also uploaded handwritten letters to
her instagram account i have some true words from deep and i would really appreciate it if you take
the time to read it over she goes on to express how almost six years ago she auditioned debuted
and she attributes her fans as her inspiration and her strength however she often couldn't do
what she wanted to do and that disappointed her and she felt like she was disappointing her fans
and she couldn't let it go on anymore she goes on to explain that she's excited to be able to
do what she wants to do and she thanks everyone for being there for her i'm so optimistic about
the adventures to come with you i have nothing to fear for because you are the reason for my
happiness she also thinks her members who are like family to her and ends off with love you
so much and that is basically where this story is as of now we haven't really heard anything
on cube's side of things but it's been a long time now the fans have been pointing out how
clc have been mismanaged with lack of comebacks and so on so all of this seems to really solidify
those sentiments because this definitely is not the first time that an idol accuses a company
of mistreatment of violating contracts of not getting paid and we've seen time and time again
that they are not easily won so with that in mind i do hope that everything goes in her favor
but i'd love to know what you think do you think she has legal basis to terminate her contract
do you think you will be receptive to this let me know in the comments down below
now let us end off with another story that happened during my news break and that is
bom being seemingly mistreated by her manager so basically she was having fun on instagram live
interacting with her fans listening to music when her manager then walks into the room she is then
told that she got a call and to end the live and fans pointed out that the manager seemed angry and
so they were really unhappy with this interaction and so not long after that we see that clip going
around and the following hashtag being trended on twitter and i have to say like it became a pretty
big thing you know we had people expressing that she's not a child she's an adult and she should
be able to interact with fans as she pleases and people also alleging that her company dnation is
preventing her from interacting with fans and also preventing her from having comebacks or really
doing anything for further context a lot of people have been worried about her this year because
she seemingly just kind of disappeared and hadn't had a comeback all of 2020 despite her company
saying that she would have one in the fall so along with the trending hashtag we have people
demanding that d nation address this issue and also apologize to her for the mistreatment as
of filming right now well over a week after it has happened d nation have yet to address this but let
me know what you think of this do you think this is kind of standard practice for a lot of idols
or do you think the context changes because she's been in the industry for so long let me know in
the comments down below but yeah that is basically it for this video don't forget to like comment and
