:bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :dance2:

Aespa's Synk tour movie is coming to global theaters (April 24/27)! Anyone else super duper hyped? I would love to see it in a 4DX venue but I don't think there are any nearby.

Karina's Menagerie perf on the big screen? Winter playing the guitar? I'm so excited! :fingcross:

Criticism is stop insulting and acting superior when you're not smarter than your interlocutor on top of being schizophrenic. But i'm glad you finally stfu.

I don't know how old you are but your reading comprehension is really not good I'm not even trying to be rude or insulting this time, I'm serious. If you're over the age of 18 please you need to start reading more and understanding what your reading or else you're going to have serious problems in the future if you can't understand what people are saying
You're not smart you're dumb therefore just stfu
You get over hyped over the slightest winrina interaction to the point you ignore when karina interacts the same with other members, it's on you not karina. Most of the people shipping such a underwhelming ship are middle/high schoolers, the rest find it cute at most or boring. So avoid projecting your low age on others when "totally not trying to be rude"... schizo says something and contradicts herself in the same post but still has the audacity to call others dumb.
I'm done with this convo, you're free to talk shit.
You're done with this convo because you can't argue anymore is why you're done you're not fooling anyone. Ah yes, the good old insult "you're dumb therefore stfu" LMAO what are you, 12? Learn to accept self criticism and learn from it.

No you didn't fucking say that, you said Winrina is a FANSERVICE SHIP that FANSERVICE FLIRTS and your arguments are that karina doing the most cute and light shit to winter has to be to get fans attention (fanservice). All the interactions they have to you is just for the fans, karina calling winter cute and touching her hand on stage is just to service fans. Their entire friendship is borderline fan service to you and used as gaybait even if such interactions are observed between other members too.
You're ridiculous, insulting and pretentious while having ridiculous opinions.
Don't get mad at me because you're stupid and can't read. This was my first post idiot
Same. I also want to see how she acts around winter, I get that they are probably naturally just touchy friends but some of it had to be fanservice, they were literally on eachother 24/7... And Karina was always flirting with her
"karina always flirting with her" I can read very well, nobody cares about the bold part if it contracticts itself one sentence after. And it's that sentence that made me react, also

Yeah no..sorry Karina was clearly flirting, fanservice flirting. Saying how the seat she'll take when in a classroom will be next to winter. Saying winter is cute whenever she breathes, her literally saying she's flirting with winter when she playfully touches her during drama performances. It might not be REAL flirting but it was definitely fan service flirting so I don't know what to tell you, you must be dense to think Karina wasn't flirting with her
Yeah pretty dense and it's funny how they're all flirting between each other, all the members gaybaiting and fanserving while being the most boring about it in kpop (their so called fan service limiting itself to hugs, hand touching and saying another member is cute).... But yeah
If you read it properly I said their touchiness is for the most part natural, but Karina's flirting is fanservice. There's no need to flirt with your friend infront of camera while you fully well know you're being shipped with her, it's definitely fanservice whether or not she does it off cam too and it's normal for them, she knows the fans will go crazy when she flirts with winter so either way it's fanservice since she's doing it to hype the fans up.
My opinion is karina is being herself and does the same with the other members, she'd be silly to stop because you go crazy everytime she peeks at winter. She's done that since always, it's her personality, it's not fanservice, it's just her loving women and babying them or whatever.
Karina is extremely touchy with winter, way more than with the other members. I agree she's touchy will all of them, but with winter it's next level. If you don't agree then that's fine, I don't care to convince you but I'm sure there's a lot of people that would agree with me

DA

It's honestly w/e. Fanservice has been around since the beginning of time and I can enjoy SM's (girl groups') fanservice since it's all about the good vibes/closeness between members at the end of the day. It's not the outright cringe, raunchy, and gay4pay fanservice that a lot of guy groups or guy/girl groups in other countries do.

WinRina may be straight but enjoy skinship+throwing flirty lines at each other like normal friends do irl (yes, friends can jokingly flirt with each other). Or they might be bi and have been attracted to each other at one point during the long ass time they've known each other and thus we get glimpses of tension here and there :hmmm: It's fine to believe in whichever scenario while acknowledging that some of the things we get to see from them are fanservice because these interactions all fall under bonding and everyone likes seeing that. And I don't think fanservice is problematic when members are actually close with each other. I think certain fans *make* it a problem when it's clear that they only like a certain idol because they want them to be 100% gay.

Like there's the group's music, the visuals, the performances, variety skills, and even just basic personality, but certain people only want to see, breathe, hear, and think through their hormones <_<

WinRina isn't full-on gaybait to me because I think that term and the outrage that comes with it is cringe/exaggerated most of the time, and it's possible that they might just like being super touchy and interact with each other in similar degrees off-camera. If people have the understanding that it's a part of the culture and everything has a level of some fanservice if it's not kept private, then it shouldn't bother them so much. Even real couples, both famous and non-famous, do "fanservice" for the people that watch them.

I'd say gaybaiting in anime/manga (not subtext because there's a lot of depth there) is way more "real" but that's a different topic.

I was mostly adding on my take/thoughts on the ship because someone mentioned "gaybait" and because there's 1 or 2 trolls that are always going "all your pretty K-pop idols are straight and you're all delusional trololol" whenever something like this happens. WinRina could be bi at best but nothing's wrong with being really touchy good friends either.
Ah got you

And you're missing the point moron. It's not that she's playfully touching her, it's the fact that she said she was flirting with her. That sentence alone is fanservice jeeessssusssssss
My bad I didn't read the "her saying she's flirting" part. But I disagree except for that time she said this, Winrina is a gaybait ship that fanservice flirts. They're light, pre school tier of flirting maybe.
....it's like talking to a wall...I said their flirting is fanservice
DA

It's honestly w/e. Fanservice has been around since the beginning of time and I can enjoy SM's (girl groups') fanservice since it's all about the good vibes/closeness between members at the end of the day. It's not the outright cringe, raunchy, and gay4pay fanservice that a lot of guy groups or guy/girl groups in other countries do.

WinRina may be straight but enjoy skinship+throwing flirty lines at each other like normal friends do irl (yes, friends can jokingly flirt with each other). Or they might be bi and have been attracted to each other at one point during the long ass time they've known each other and thus we get glimpses of tension here and there :hmmm: It's fine to believe in whichever scenario while acknowledging that some of the things we get to see from them are fanservice because these interactions all fall under bonding and everyone likes seeing that. And I don't think fanservice is problematic when members are actually close with each other. I think certain fans *make* it a problem when it's clear that they only like a certain idol because they want them to be 100% gay.

Like there's the group's music, the visuals, the performances, variety skills, and even just basic personality, but certain people only want to see, breathe, hear, and think through their hormones <_<

WinRina isn't full-on gaybait to me because I think that term and the outrage that comes with it is cringe/exaggerated most of the time, and it's possible that they might just like being super touchy and interact with each other in similar degrees off-camera. If people have the understanding that it's a part of the culture and everything has a level of some fanservice if it's not kept private, then it shouldn't bother them so much. Even real couples, both famous and non-famous, do "fanservice" for the people that watch them.

I'd say gaybaiting in anime/manga (not subtext because there's a lot of depth there) is way more "real" but that's a different topic.
If you read my first post I said that winrina seems be touchy touchy kind of friends but some of it had to be fanservice because it was really over the top sometimes. You basically just said the same in an essay form
I was mostly adding on my take/thoughts on the ship because someone mentioned "gaybait" and because there's 1 or 2 trolls that are always going "all your pretty K-pop idols are straight and you're all delusional trololol" whenever something like this happens. WinRina could be bi at best but nothing's wrong with being really touchy good friends either.

So funny how it's always the straightest K pop girls you try and claim. Even Jisoo and Irene who said homophobic shit. Karina never did anything to indicate she liked girls at all.
Karina did plenty of stuff to indicate she liked girls and did these before even debuting so just fuck off troll, nobody gives a damn about your made up shit on irene and jisoo etc

No you didn't fucking say that, you said Winrina is a FANSERVICE SHIP that FANSERVICE FLIRTS and your arguments are that karina doing the most cute and light shit to winter has to be to get fans attention (fanservice). All the interactions they have to you is just for the fans, karina calling winter cute and touching her hand on stage is just to service fans. Their entire friendship is borderline fan service to you and used as gaybait even if such interactions are observed between other members too.
You're ridiculous, insulting and pretentious while having ridiculous opinions.

You call that flirting in all seriousness...

I'm sorry but is Karina forbidden to even interact with Winter or you'll start having ideas and call it fanservice?

She also playfully touched the other members not just Winter and called Ningning cute several times. But anyways if you think that's flirting then whatever

Can karina fans tell me how this woman apologized for dating? Is this on brand with her personality? Isn't the way she apologized borderline disrespectful to the boyfriend? It's like he matters less than fans delusions.
Idk karina gave more "confident" vibes and that letter was the opposite of that, pathetic even.

at the end of the day the business comes first. the apology was her apologising (or SM making her apologise) to what are essentially her moneymakers. karinas brand relies on maintaining a parasocial delusion/relationship with both her female and male fans. her dating news shattered that image. people diss them a lot but parasocial fans spend so much money on these idols, losing them would hurt both karina but SM especially.

if karina was marketed in the same way jennie/wonyoung/krystal are, untouchable, princessey & barely any queerbaity fanservice, she wouldn't have apologised or been made to.
DA
This is all such a trainwreck it doesn't make sense as to why SM allowed her image to be destroyed like this. Karina had such great potential for SM. At first I thought this was an attempt to rebrand Karina into the princess image but after the apology I don't think so...this all doesn't make sense to me

Da no she wasn't, and Winter also participated in the very weak "flirting" they did. They just touched hands, did hearts with their fingers and other stuff that are what every close friends do. In comparison to Ryeji they're absolutely not gaybaiting or flirting at all.

Apparently Karina's apology made it to BBC News and The Zach Sang Show. Now that it's made its way to western media, Knetiz are saying how this is so embarrassing for the country, like it's not the same idiots who are against idols dating.

Girlie talked about wanting dye her hair blonde again on bubble even though before she said she'll never go back blonde (you know what they say about a girl who suddenly wants to get he hair dyed...she going through it)

lmao :dramaqueen:
I'm not trying to be delulu but does anyone else find the timing of this announcement to be weird? They've only known each other for a month and now all of a sudden they are in love? Even though they both have really busy schedules right now, how the hell do you fall in love in a month of hardly spending time together, assuming best case scenario they spent every evening together for 30 days...it's still not enough. Both agencies were extremely quick to confirm it...like suspiciously quick. I don't trust anything dispatch or the agencies says ever since I've learned how dispatch works. They first go to the idol's agencies with the news and strike a deal with them, most of the times it's either the agencies pay them to shut up, or they give them another story in replacement, or they think the story is not a big deal and allows it to be exposed. I really doubt it's the latter because Karina dating someone is a big deal. Its very hard to believe that this was not a planned announcement, some people are saying this is a regular korean tactic, using idols to cover up their political situation but idk anything about what's happening in Korean politics so I won't speak to that. It doesn't make any sense to me as to why SM let dispatch expose this/didn't pay dispatch out on this story, Karina is one of the most desired female kpop idol right now amongst BOTH women and men, her fandom I'd say is majority wlw, exposing her dating life will only cause her to lose stans which means less money for SM. If they claimed they were in a relationship for years it would be more believable because at least they are in a steady relationship. but for something so new and fresh, this is a big risk to take since they could literally chose to end things tomorrow, if this happens what was the point of it all? They really would just lose a bunch of stans for no reason. To me they are covering up something way bigger or trying to distract the population from something. It literally doesn't make sense, and I'm not just saying that as a Karina stan. It's not like Karina needs more exposure to become more famous either, the girl's face is everywhere in Korea.
I have a conspiracy theorist mindset so I tend to doubt stuff, and of course I doubt this as well. Someone mentioned he has a kdrama airing tomorrow/today so maybe there's some arrangements going on there? Idk if kdramas are more profitable than a group as big as Aespa so why would they "sacrifice" karina over this... And it also reminds me of Jisoo's dating scandal that I believed initially until I saw people pointing out how weird it was.
I'm not into gossip much so I don't know how dispatch works or how it usually happens etc, but by logic I don't understand why companies would confirm a relationship if there is no proof (both have none), if the idol is seeing the guy for just a few weeks, and for Karina in terms of kpop culture it was better to pretend she was single, so why they got so quick to confirm it... And the SM message was an exact copy of the actor's company message, maybe pr people just copy pasted it, idk but could also be planned.

If it's planned it's on idols behalf, I don't think Karina was aware this was gonna drop, or aware just recently.
I have my doubts on the whole thing, I half believe half don't. But I'd say it's even more sus than Jisoo's that i already had huge doubts for.
Stop embarrassing yourself. Jisoo was dating that guy for way longer than people realised. Nothing weird about it. Karina is dating this dude.

Just admit the girls you wanted to be gay are straight. It's embarrassing to label them as if they are fictional characters.
Right cause you know jisoo and karina and the whole truth of the universe.
I know they both dated men. We have proof of that. But yes, you who they wouldn't even know if they stumbled over you know they are secretly gay. Of course!

I know you are just wishful thinking. Get a life of your own. It's always the straightest girls you claim.

Re: Aespa

Don't know why its so hard for some stans to believe that their bias can date anyone they want it's their life we cannot control it. They are idols and they are surrounded by attractive people most of the time of course they are gonna date whether its serious or not. We should get out of their onscreen act. Whatever they do in front of the fans is to satisfy them, make them happy.

For example there were times if an idol were asked if they have anyone they are dating and the idol had to reply they have their fans so they don't need anyone. Obviously its not true they are dating privately no one gonna die virgin because of fans but they got to reply this to make fans happy and make money. thats their professional life and dating is their personal life. Don't know stans cannot be just satisfied with their fav idols performance, singing ability or other talents and leave their personal life alone? Asian idols/actors must envy western celebs because they don't get hate for dating unless they are dating a criminal.

No source for the first part of his post. Tiffany suffered from her dating reveal. Jihyo too. I didn't think it'd hurt Karina much but now i'm thinking this will seriously damage her. Men may be advantaged by it (kang daniel not so much apparently), but Jennie suffered a lot because it. I believe they're ethical though, but they're still paparazzis, no source they "help" idols, it makes idols lose their male fans almost everytime.
theres no source for any of how dispatch works, it's all rumors. To me this makes more sense though.
SA,
Jennie did not suffer a lot from it LMAO what makes you think that? Of course all idols have parasocial fans that will unstan once they hear idols get into relationship but Jennie is a global star, even if these parasocial fans arent fans anymore that doesnt even come CLOSE to putting a dent into her fanbase. Cant say anything about Tiffany and Jihyo because I dont know the details well.
I meant suffer psychologically for jennie who received massive hate. No "Saint" like they call them in that idiotic no sourced post, will expose female idols to this hatred.
Since Jennie has a idgaf personality it's not as impactful to her, also blackpink's status and image doesn't make them suffer from dating. But an idol like Karina who truly does give a fuck and cares a lot and for who potentially money comes from obsessed incels, it can be damaging at all levels.

What do you think? Is there a chance it's fake or still cope?

They definitely did went on a date, the pictures doesn’t mean anything it just shows that she was stalk. If SM and Cjes didn’t confirm immediately, they would have release more pictures of them together.
Da No proof for the first time in all of dispatch history so congrats for personally knowing karina to be so sure about her dating life.
Also you don't know what dispatch would have done, because everytime they have proof they drop it, unless they get paid I suppose
Da, if you notice previous dating news from the same company they never deny it if its true. they might take time to confirm it. In Karina's case they knew that the couple would get hate because karina has female followers (its obvious from her fan interactions). So of course karina's dating life should be in private if they don't want to get any hate but dispatch released the pictures and if both companies denied it they would have post more pictures (which might turnish their repo more) so i would say they did it to save both of them despite the hate they are getting now whatever dispatch had might have been more damaging than this.
You. Don't. Know. That. You. Just. Made. It. Up.

Can you please stop making up things?
Dispatch was eager to release their shit regardless of how hurt the idol would be. I don't know why they didn't consult SM since they apparently blackmail like this? Although this could yet again be bs made by you people who live in a kdrama or something. Dispatch doesn't have proof, just a trustable source most probably like one of this actor's colleague or even his agency itself. The pics they released are random and not proof in any way, they're just signaling that they know a bunch about the two.

The spoiler part has nothing to do with Dispatch, the stylist came forward on Instagram to expose Irene because he/she was sick of her. She threatened Irene to release more if the behavior continued and if Irene did not apologize. It wasn't dispatch but for whatever reason, you made it as if it was to pretend you know that Dispatch has more proof. They do not have more proof than that.


Facts:
-Dispatch always releases proof
-For Karina's scandal, it's the first time in probably a decade at least they did not post proof, chances are they have none but instead someone close to the couple told them they were a thing
-Dispatch doesn't double down if a company denies, if they have proof they post it that's all.


No need to make up anything else than that.

Karina probably did everything in her power to hide it and the fact that it got exposed this soon might have made her feel quite bad (i guess since she's silent ever since). Or it's fake... not probable given both companies confirmed.
How do you know if they consult SM or not? Dispatch is out for money of course they are gonna ask for a large amount before releasing the news to public. If they dont get money by contacting the agency they gonna public it. Don’t fool yourself thinking that you know everything. Do some research first before giving out facts.

Dispatch outed Jihyo at her prime. A JYPE idol. I don't know where the "dispatch goes to the agency first" info comes from but it seems they never do or lots of idols would've never been outed.
I just want to put the record straight. There was no way Jype & Jihyo could stop the news. The dating news was released primarely to hurt her bf kd. He was way more popular than jihyo. The guy had just won a court case to get out of his contract with his previous company and start his own company. The dating scandal was away for his old company to get back at him. And honestly it did work because it did lose a good amount of ajumma fans.
Jihyo was just simply collateral damage.

Also despite jype big 3 status they never had the same fear factor or connections as SM or YG at their prime.

keeping her head low and staying out of sight and not engaging with fans is the only thing she can do right now before she says the wrong thing and upset even more people. People need to stop being possessive over idols because theres no point its not like they'll ever date a fan. But they also need to stop queerbaiting for both their sakes and the fans.
DA how do you know she queerbaited, she can still like girls. Queerbaiting is the result of fans being too simpy because korea is unable to let idols date. Idols feel they have to do cringe fan service. Also hope you're not a fan

Dispatch also needs money to live, they are not philanthropists or justice warriors. They can receive money to stay silent, can also receive money to reveal someone's information (can be real or fake information), and can also receive money to defend someone (can be that person is right or wrong). I have listened to music and followed SM's music groups from the 2nd generation until now, and I doubt this dating/courting news, maybe this news is used to hide the company's scandal or scandal of a certain idol in the company (this courtship/dating news may be true or it may be fake)

why would the agencies confirm it, surely they know it'll cause this shit storm. Dispatch usually goes to the agency first before revealing this stuff, so why didnt SM and whatever his agency pay them off instead, I'm pretty sure their agencies knew about the story before hand given how quickly both agencies responded to confirm it. And even if dispatch didnt go to the agencies first then why didnt they just deny it, looks like they dont have photo proof of them together anyways. Maybe the dude's agency didnt want to pay for the story to be squashed because he was leaving the agency soon but what about SM, they could have paid out dispatch for sure. This whole scandal doesnt make any sense to me because these questions in my brain cant be answered in a logical way, so maybe one of you can see something I'm missing.
Dispatch outed Jihyo at her prime. A JYPE idol. I don't know where the "dispatch goes to the agency first" info comes from but it seems they never do or lots of idols would've never been outed.
Kdrama version : they actually make blackmail deals but the mean CEOs hate the female idols for dating so let dispatch expose them as punition.

Like all paparazzis, dispatch's job and hobby is to expose celebrities regardless of the consequences, the more hot the scandal the more traffic, engagement and money they get. They might occasionally blackmail but if that was true wouldn't Karina out of all idols be protected? Or the bunch of IT girls before that?

My theory :
Dispatch desperately needed a scandal because they've been lacking for years. Someone close to the actor magically appeared with the hottest tea about karina and ljw. No proof. But the desperation of having finally a scandal made them skip the visual proof steps, they came up with dumb unrelated pics as illustration.
I think the guy's company confirmed first. Sm probably consulted quickly with Karina. Seeing the guy's company confirmed and Karina too, they took their L and confirmed. That's the only scenario that makes sense to me.

Though... Other than dispatch not releasing proof, the dude's drama being released the very next day, him also two days after announcing creating his own label.... Other than all that he ALSO allegedly broke up with his gf who he dated for over a YEAR and 2 months after was already dating karina officially (since people around them knew), and that's despite the hectic schedules of the two celebrities at that time... but ok why not, and on top of that you get freaking outed at the very beginning of this relationship... If the girlfriend story is true for me it's a little bit too many coincidences.
