Boti Dear, forgive me if you’ve already covered this. But can you do a story time on how K-pop intersected with your life? I feel like you’ve had direct experience with this awful industry. But only if you’re comfortable sharing. Good to see you back! ❤️
Dear Trixish,
In terms related to direct contact with people in kpop, I haven't had the displeasure yet, because it is something very particular and limited to that area (asia). Lets not forget that...the whole madness with kpop is mainy to be found in SK/asia (since we also have japanese popculture). In Europe or USA you don't typical have such a focus on obsessive behaviour amongst young people blocking most part of the media and stores.
The obsession in this part of the world is more broad focused, broader areas, starting with obsession towards actors. socialites, rich public people, athletes, towards people let’s say like the Kardashian family.
South Korea on the other side only has this specific niche of K-pop where they focus their target on...emotional extortion of children/young girls. They have a multi-billion industry that is only focused on making young people very dependent on parasocial relationships, a "stalker" cult that is been nourished, despite the very-international-addressed-complaints from the most desirable bands and people (jungkook..) and also have a very obsessed industry with looks, despite the fact that the average South Korean person doesn’t look anything like what the average person kpooper looks like.
They have this cult of making boy bands looking very feminine to appeal to as well as young children and girls and to sell their gay interaction.
When my career was at highest, I was having contact with main people in this industry, including the Asian site, but not in a kpop sense – they don't give a damn about that. For someone who knows their tricks and their investments, it is clear for me, that they barely invest anything. If it comes back with hight earnings, fine. But if not, it is not something that is profitable long term.
Sony as a label is a Japanese Company. Warner is a American one and Universal Dutch.
When you are already involved with people on a higher level, of course at some point you will also have contact with THE main ones, but not so much with unimportant ones. K-pop is not something that the labels are as focused as it might seem.
I didn’t want to go too much into detail as far as the description of what K-pop is, since you asked a specific question and I am already going far away from its lines, but I also wanted to explain why I didn’t have direct contact with K-pop and in and basically also trying to make the point that K-pop isn’t as big as one might think, if one is just a spectator/doesn't know/understand/has the experience of having lived the bitter taste of the "inner famous circle".
I think it’s still mainly big in Asia, and very promoted in the rest of the world, but only as a temporary money making machine and not necessary because of a long-term value. It isn’t something that can be applied at this moment in America or Europe because at least my opinion it isn’t not only just not interesting but also limiting. if you’re overloading the media, media propaganda and manipulation too much towards one niche like the obligatory parasocial relationship aspect that is the base of the existence of K-pop, then you lose everything else that America markets and is making its earning dependent on.
What I can also say is that Asian aspect of the music/arts industry is very much rooted in in a collaboration with the jews (USA) because they also want a piece of the pie, especially China in the classical music or ballet field.
We basically have a clear division between the Jews and Chinese people, especially in classical arts, which, despite of lacking any marketing on the outside, makes more money than anything else.
There is an overload on chinese students players, mainly piano and violin, and they are the only ones allowed to conquer so to speak the world, next to the jews.
From that point of view, I only had contact in this circumstances with leading people, but as I said not so much with Asia just because Asians are very restrictive to themselves in this field. They know, that they can have piece of the pie so they are not interested in anyone else.
I talke more than you actually asked, yet couldn’t provide you with direct or indirect, concrete or even "rumour" - like inside-information.
It also has to do with the fact that this whole BTS mania started shortly before Corona in a time where either way, the market was missing a lot of things and I doubt that BTS will have the same impact starting with next year when they want to have their comeback because it’s just too much and tiring. It's too much based on too little.
They made out of BTS back then a new attraction only to gain money because they didn’t had anything at that moment, they industry still hasn’t anything interesting but BTS 2026 will be like an already pufed up overwashed lie, that won't be sitting well. A big lie, that is becoming more and more annoying and I suspect that their the terror that their fans used to perpetuate, with all their attacks, bullying and doxxing, won’t be holding as much as it used to.
Maybe this answers a bit more clearly your question. Still, in the end, it all comes down to the same CEO, to the same people in charge, because from what I’ve seen, especially with one of the articles Cezara posted a few weeks ago that I looked into, many of the CEOs and the people involved with the three major labels, are still the same I knew, and even though some are retired, they are still active behind the scenes, that I know for a fact, because I also worked with those who were retired before the CEOs I had the contact with, so we would be having discussions and make decisions based on their "blessing" and involvement. Retirement is for some only for the face of the public, investors, etc. But actually /- the boss behind the scene is still the same person.
So in the end, it’s still goes back to the people I knew, at last at this moment, that are still in charge. They make the decisions over Bang and Stray Kids, Black Pink and TxT, now Cortis. And the system hasn't changed.
You’re just a puppet and people will give you the impression that you are special, and you are powerful, and give you money and attention as long as you are serving them. But it doesn’t hold. And if at some point your morals and dignity get the best out of you, or at least sending you warn signals, and you refuse, for example, to go on a propaganda like for gayness or gender dysphoria, vaccines, racism, climate and all this bullshit that people are being lied to about, the moment you stop doing as you told that moment is where they stop promoting you and you are left with nothing.
It doesn't happened all of the sudden. They are veeeerrrryyy smart about it. They just wait for the right moment, just to make sure you are loosing credibility.
The thing is .... there is a very big connection between how much you worked and sacrificed from your life, your morals and how willing you are to do something so damming for the entire planet, including yourself. Those bastards (every, or at least almost every famous person in the industry), they are doing it in order to fly private jets, having wealth but not working. They don't have morals, they don't know what it means to work and sacrifice you life. So....for them it's not a problem to go a bit on teenvogue and talk about the poor gay rights, be a began, the climate change and lets all vaccinate. While they fly their private jets, fake some disastrous DNA modifying rat poison action of "vaccinating" and hang around with rapists, alcoholics and drug mafia.
So in the end going back to your question - no I didn’t have direct contact per se with BTS/ Bang/ JYP. One has to remember that in SK their entire format works very much within the company in a very restrictive way. I know of "hooker staffer", because I've seen it in the same environment.
Even so, in the end, they all report to the same Jewish masters and the rules are the same. the people in charge are operating in the same way - they make puppets to work for them and this is why you see them all featuring the same magazine, saying the same things acting the same way and cheering and making propaganda for the same subject.
If the jewish american politics wants to promote gender dysphoria, the puppets will act as their told.
One thing that I believe, is that none of the kpoopers ever had contact with the people I met. The top of the pyramid. In order to get to them, it's not enough to be some madeup phantasy for teenage girls.
When it comes to the top of the pyramid, the still want to enjoy only the most supreme selection.
