I decided on this series of blogs, because I love my fellow fans, and I want to help keep you out of trouble. I've been reading countless of Korean law codes and researching for a few months now, because I had questions about the legality of certain parts of being an fans, and about where I stand in terms of Korean law. I write this to help others, to help you, make informed decisions as fans! My hope for the K-pop fandom is always that we can rise above the norm and set a po

You've probably heard about the Big Three. The three biggest Entertainment Companies in Kpop: SM, JYP and YG. But did you know that the Big Three used to be the Big Two? On this week's Kpop history lesson, we shall have a look at how the Big Three came to be and how BigHit compares. The Big Two Before there was the Big Three, there was the Big Two. This is back in the late 90s when first generation Kpop emerged. And the first of them is... SM Entertainment The company's found

Today's Kpop history will be focused around the following question: For how long do Kpop stars live together in their dorms? Most Army probably know that BTS live in a dorm and have lived together in dorms since pre debut. They continue to live in dorms to this day too, but will they continue to do so in the future too? I'll attempt to answer these questions by exploring some Kpop history and letting you know what other idols have done, and why, and taking a look at how BTS c

Leaked photos might mean that BTS won't get air time on ISAC? At this point, everyone on twitter has probably seen warnings about this. This concern was brought to my attention by Jjang Jjang Man Bboong Bboong and in this post I'll treat issues both of air time problems but more generally of corruption within the Korean entertainment industry using ISAC as a prime example. WHAT IS ISAC? For all the newcomers to Kpop, let's start basic. ISAC is the Idol Star Athletic Champions

I've been into Kpop for over eleven years, and during that time I've seen groups come and go, groups disband, member changes, members leaving, being kicked out, and scandals that would shake your soul. Disbandment is the natural end of a group's era. All bands reach that stage at some point... Almost all groups! There are a few exceptions, really just a few, but I wholeheartedly believe that, given the right conditions, BTS can become such an exception. When trying to predict

Today I'll be looking at some correlations between the BTS MVs and short films, and Lewis Carroll's novel: 'Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There'. The novel is a sequel to Alice in Wonderland written in 1871. The novel starts with Alice sitting in an armchair and playing with Kitty, a black cat. Alice pretends that Kitty talks back to her and that Kitty is in fact the Red Queen in a game of chess. Kitty, however, doesn't play along and Alice lifts the cat and

After BigHint : Begins and BigHint : Neverland, it's time to wrap up this trilogy with one final BigHint! HINT 3: PSIQUE and CUPID Like the hint in Neverland theory, this hint was also shared as a hashtag on BigHit's official instagram at the release of the concept photos for 화양연화 pt.1. The hashtags on most of their photos are standard ones like #butterfly (in three different languages) and #DREAM but on the photo of this hand, they added one other hashtag: #Psique The hand b

I'll be assessing some early hints by BigHit (also known as BigHint). Earlier I looked at the first of three hints: BTS Begins. Here I'll look at the second one. HINT 2: NEVERLAND BigHit gifted us the next hint through their instagram page where they revealed the concept photos for 화양연화 pt.1 While writing my theory for the complete HYYH and Wings era (still working on it) I went through old concept photos and something strange stuck out to me in their hashtags on instagram. I

​It seems that BigHit has been trolling us since way before what we thought was the beginning of theories! After an in depth analysis and theory of the Blood, Sweat and Tears MV and a theory on Chatroom I'm back with more! This time my theory concerns three early hints that BigHit gave us about the 화양연화 (HYYH) and Wings era. It'll be in three parts, one for each hint. Here's the first! HINT 1: BTS BEGINS Let's start at the beginning, exactly one month before the release of 화양
