Usual stuff is lots of conjecture over some boyband singers being in secret relationships with each other, and apparently some guy named G-Dragon is very controversial. Definitely not my special interest and most of it doesn’t stick with me, but it’s endearing to listen to somebody you like talking about their hobbies.
that’s so nice that u are niceys about listening to it! lol at the first part about boyband dating gossip. when will this end!
also g-dragon does have a project called ubermensch that released like last year, and painted himself black in tribute to trayvon martin in 2013, to which YG (his ent. agency,) decided to respond with saying it wasn’t political, he was just doing something for his new album, which is somehow categorically worse. so. yeah a bit of controversy. his group is always embroiled in it and has had some really bad stains on it (seungri and burning sun, but one of the guys got thrown out for just smoking weed in the military lol) so somehow he’s faring better than the others. sorry i said i wouldnt say anything but i had to add the stuff about g-dragon controversy bc i had heard about it tangentially but did not realize he did all that. k-pop is a weird affair.
