She’s so cute for attending undercover! I’m glad she saw how obsessed baetokkis were with her exhibition first hand.

sad. she doesn’t seem to have any celeb friends who can support her too.
She has said that she's never been close to other celebs and is closer to people in her non-celeb life like school friends, no? I think she talked about it on Level Up Aseul? I guess mmm were close to rv for a bit but that fizzled out quickly. I think she might grow out of her shell when she really goes on a solo promo cycle (if sm lets her) because she seems comfortable enough doing challenges with people now

is something wrong with her personality?

Are we fully relying on cfans to do all the work for BJH1? Because the lack of attention from international fans to start gathering votes, funds, etc. is worrying.

I think some efforts are underway by different parties. It's a bit hard bc the Irene accounts aren't all allied.
BJH News is/was aggressively OT5 and follows kfans a lot; IrenePH is very close with BJHNews (both are filo)...IST is close with BJH News but they had some admins who were less OT5. IST paid for ads for Queendom. Solobae91 is indo and is not on good terms with some of the others..Irene Global is multinational but they operate independently. IreneProtects is inactive. There are also separate language fanbases like Irene Bae Thailand. Then there's DC Irene which is separate from Irene Universe that is formulated mostly from Kfans who were/are affiliated with DC Irene. Idk.
For Cfans it's easy because it's IreneBar and then their deputies (who sometimes post on twitter).

Anyway it's still early yet, I think things will coalesce. People were focused on the exhibition and we know RV's album is going to come first. I definitely think BJH1 is coming in Q4 (as do most people) bc there are anniversary activities and a comeback planned which doesn't really leave much time in Q3.

Did plusebani not style her for her party? Kinda surprised but maybe there was some conflict. She definitely sucks at her job.

I can see the sexualisation argument except she’s worn stuff that’s functionally similar like the off shoulder tops for the iconic RBB/BB performance back in 2018 and the Psycho SMA performance in 2020. She was also happy w/ that dress in the queens archive perfect 10 clip. But she may feel that tank tops aren’t as secure..

In other news, I’m kinda blown away by how she managed to go to her own exhibition that was filled with photos of just her and not be recognized
https://x.com/irene_global/status/17873 ... 37697?s=46
She must take additional disguising measures or something, like maybe she wears something that makes her look taller + glasses + cap + mask. And she went at a less busy time? Idk.
I just hope she stays tf away from BJH1, that woman definitely has the reverse midas touch.
Da I thought plusebuni is Irene’s stylist? So humming wouldn’t be anywhere near bjh1

I hope for bjh1 she gets whoever whoever was in charge of styling aseul

Sure, her 2018 RBB/BB performance was iconic but I can bet you a million dollars that she absolutely hated how viral it became. Even many Baetokkis are ignorant to how uncomfortable Irene is with skimpy outfits on stage. Idols don't have much control over what they wear, Irene certainly didn't in 2018/20 and probably today it's still difficult unless they are stylists that know the members well. It makes sense that Irene would bring her own safety clothing just in case.

That's just the issue with styling in Kpop because you don't have a person that overlooks everything from music to styling, so you just end up working with stylists that have no idea what actually works for a performance. And don't get me started on the difference in male/female styling.

Jfc I've never met an stylist so bad at her job like H5. It should be a crime to be so bad at something. She must have some powerful conections to able to snatch a job at a big 4 and not getting fired and blacklisted after the first fashion crime.

Does anyone know why Irene wears these transparent sleeves? It's regardless of season/weather and she only started wearing them since last year
Corrected link

It's not just transparent sleeves, she also wore black pants. I think the anons that were discussing about the NYE performance has a point, it's something to do with 1022, she probably wants to avoid disagreeing with a stylist. I'm don't know who styled her for the birthday party but the three tweets above it are all from the same stylist humming5 and and she's been causing wardrobe malfunctions for the RV girls.

by **Guest** » 05 May 2024, 23:24

While I am bored of the "Irene hates men" jokes, I do feel bad for her because she genuinely seems hyper aware of what people do with fancam footage, hence she doesn't like showing skin when she performs. She does wear regular tank tops privately, so it definitely has to do with creepy fans overstepping boundaries. Sigh. I wish female fans would think about this too. Irene likes darker/sexy concepts, but it's just people don't know how to act and then just turn into weirdos.

It could be because she doesn't feel comfortable showing too much skin. She only seems to wear this when her top outfit is too small and reveals too much skin. She never seemed comfortable with those kind of outfits so this is possibly true.

Irene the IT girl. The fact that Seoul police had to be called because of the crowd and traffic was blocked. She tried going out from the front entrance to greet everyone but it was too dangerous so they had to create an exit from the back. All of that money she’s made them better be used for her solo.

by **Guest** » 04 May 2024, 06:54

Watching trolls cry scream and throw up seeing Irene being so successful despite them trying so hard to say otherwise is hilarious to me. SM did an exhibition with Irene for a reason. It’s because it’s THE Irene that it’s so successful. She will never lose her popularity and relevancy. Let’s go queen!

by **Guest** » 04 May 2024, 00:45

Apparently selling Irene as a celebrity was a strategy that worked very well, SM has to do this with other idols

Irene’s exhibition event having multiple lines in and outside every single day, in the heat, on weekdays also and Irene’s exhibition becoming a tourist attraction so they created free luggage storage for visitors is insane. She will always be popular and relevant. I hope we get photos today from her fan event. I’m so proud of her!

It just shows that disqualifying other people's translations is a way for them to have a monopoly that will serve to spread the narratives they want to create.

I'm new and don't want to ask dumb questions but has that been a thing since the beginning? I've been trying to catch up on 10 years of Irene content but I don't know Korean so now I'm worried I haven't been reading an accurate narrative. Do we have a list of translators or a place where all her interviews/comments are translated? I need an Irene fact sheet

ReVelUpSubs has a good record; I haven't seen people have any problem with them.
For interviews, I recommend this one: https://0801heavendelight.wordpress.com/.
If you're looking for interviews not on the WordPress link, I usually read at least two versions and decide for myself which one's the best. You can also find good quotes on https://twitter.com/irene_record.
For sheets, here's one, but it's still ongoing:

Unfortunately, https://redvelvetupdates.tumblr.com no longer exists. They had a lot of vintage RV stuff that is hard to find elsewhere.
For example, Irene_global has this interview https://twitter.com/irene_global/status ... 1288162305, but I noticed it missed the part where Irene talks about her family riding a bike every spring. You can find it mirrored here: https://www.tumblr.com/329archive/73177 ... i-just-had, so it doesn't hurt to double-check some stuff.
I remember the GQ Korea interview; I saw multiple translations, but the best one was posted on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/ ... ets_irene/.

I'm so happy that Irene is finally back in her usual beautiful self, y'all know what I mean. Been gone for so long about adult staff & seeing my twt tl that the exhibition is a resounding success, I can't help but be emotional. I hope Irene can get all the confidence she needs for BJH1 after seeinv that her fandom got bigger & she's always been in the heart of gp.

So proud of her. Also her md keeps selling out and even non fans are whipped. You know that she has the gp on a chokehold when fans waiting in line say all they hear from passersby is “oh it’s Irene”, “it’s Irene”, “Irene”, “Irene” even in different dialects. And then join the line. That is the gp. They can recognise her straight away and be prepared to wait in a long line in the heat on a weekday to see her exhibition. It’s even more impressive thinking she’s had years of bare minimum exposure.

She’s on another level if you think about it despite it all she’s had so much success - w&h which ranked higher then the top kdrama, best selling magazine for waves, her albums always sold out and at crazy prices, taking 2aN to new heights, the crazy md sales, creating trends and selling out items she’s worn, trending every other day on various platforms, new fansites every time she makes a rare appearance and maintaining a loyal fan base which is growing and so on.

[220520 ] She lent her old chanel outfit (must be some kind of joke between them or a dare) before Irene hired plusebani
[220721, 230402] Hyunny tagged Irene with emojis but it's always at the same time as Joy
Are they still friends? I have no idea but the day after that birthday date is still the only day I saw Irene glow like that.

Why are they still here? Don’t they have a ton of content to analyze? Feels like they don’t even like her.

Pretending they never got a comeback is better than trying to embrace the embarassing era it was.

They are in love with her as much as we are.
Tell me, I don't know anymore I already loved her before but after watching the BTS of the photoshoot for her book it goes beyond undescribable now.
