I’m not sure if you’ve ever answered this but curious on your take of which brands you think each member fits the best in if they were an ambassador for it.. like personally I think Jiwoong totally feels like a gucci guy, but I didn’t really get gucci from Hanbin - he feels more Prada/Balenciaga to me and then Hao feels so miu miu/chanel but I can see why Loewe would have gone for him as well
I get what you mean, I don’t dislike Gucci for hanbin but I think something like prada would fit him better especially their 2024 spring summer collection because he suits shorts (imo, NOT LONG SHORTS I HATE LONG SHORTS) and they have a lot of pieces I think would look good. I think I did answer this before but as brands release new collections sometimes their overall vibes changes a little so anon let me do a little brainstorming and have a look at the collections that dropped this year and I’ll pick one for each member !
jiwoong wears gucci in the airport today. does anyone know if it's a new one or he recycles the fits?
It could be that Gucci took him back since his controversy kinda got sidelined thanks to the whole hybe vs mhj thing but him wearing Gucci for their flight back means it was his own clothes/luggage. We will have to keep an eye on him when they leave the country for a big external show/gig (concerts dont count)
That’s true I think once they start attending awards and maybe more events it will be a dead giveaway, I wouldn’t rule out airport fits for concerts though because hb, for example, seems to be wearing Gucci (and their new lines) when travelling to their new concert destinations so sponsored fits for the airport, in regard to flying out for concerts, is definitely happening!

Okay I got mistine gift box and tangle teezer gift box and damn I did not know tangle teezer was soo good????
I liked the sunscreen and the lippie from mistine too damn
I have a tangle teaser too ! I love mine and it’s so convenient to have in my bag. Also I recently got given a couple of the mistine lip products, I’m not sure what they are called since they were gifted but they are a cool shape and have like a white bit on the body that moves ? I would highly recommend them though because the formula is so good and not sticky at all and the colours are great! What’s the texture of the sunscreen like anon, I’m looking for a new one because I think my current one is breaking me out so I’m hoping to find a lightweight but effective one
Any thoughts on what's like the best moisturiser for oily skins?
what do you think of the tour outfits btw, do you have any favorites?
I do like them and contrary to what some might think I actually like that they are keeping outfits the same and not changing them too drastically because new outfits every stop is just wasteful imo. I like that they use the poster fits for the opening and made slight changes like the new fits today. The only thing I wish they did was match the fits to the songs better like sometimes I see a performance and the outfit doesn’t match the vibe of the perf but in their own the outfits are good. I think my favourite is probably the poster pic fits but I also like the all black fits (they perf gsb in them) that’s probably because I think Gunwook looks so good in his 😂
https://neospring.org/+r/ef52c2b75f one of the reason is probably because there are a lot of places to put ads on around impact arena which is easier to book compared to other stops with limited ad slots! i was kinda shocked that almost all the members had ads around the arena because i usually only see hao’s cbar put up things like this in several stops but i’m glad everyone has one noww i think the hao’s mall one is not near the arena but that was super cool and probably also super hard to get lmao
Oh that’s cool! Idk if it’s just where I am or generally in Europe but there’s never much fan support things like that outside concerts and I wonder now if it’s because there’s not many places to put them or it’s just not a done thing here? Also yeah it was probably a lot of money to secure so good on them, and even though it’s not near the arena many fans will probably visit it so it’s still cool!
Oh so w1 really does control their gigs and dont even tell them so they are the ones deciding which one they are rejecting and accepting. i think this happened with xiaoting too but that was so absurd like she didnt know an offer was made until the magazine said it themselves that wakeone told them she was sick so she cant shoot but the fans found out she was perfectly fine ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
the ads on the thailand stop are insane i wonder how zhbar manage to even put ads on an entire mall
I’ve seen so many member ads there and I have a friend in Thailand who’s said she’s seen so many near the venue! I was actually wonder is there anything in particular that makes this concert more significant because the ads feel much grander for all the members in comparison to the Singapore stop.

8stars don't like any zb1 subfandom in general and they had beef with riyangis, rosins and allins since last year. But the big fight between 8starts and rosins started because a few of them were beefing over who was the "Top Chinese Kpop Artist", some of them insulted hao, some attacked minghao, and then the rest of each fandom joined in on the fanwar and it turned into a clusterfuck. Once everyone joined, they fought over EVERYTHING, achievements, views, streams, sales, solo awards, sns engagement, endorsements, predebut life, etc... anything you can think of, they fought about it. 8stars argued that everything hao achieved was yuehua payola, that minghao was a well-know and beloved senior and that hao was a nobody, that rosins hijacked minghao's tags to artificially inflate hao's engagement, they called hao homophobic slurs and spread his old weibo posts including the slanders from the rumormongers, they even created hot topics (hashtags) so the things they were saying about hao would trend. Crosins made fun of 8stars and minghao because hao outsold minghao in magazines and endorsements, and hao's solo song and ost had more streams than almost all of minghao's songs, so they were like "8stars, how can you be so shameless as to attack hao when he, a 1-year rookie, has already surpassed all of minghao's achievements! your fav has been in the industry for 8 years and you couldn't even give him an award!" they trended a hot topic that was like "xu minghao is called the8 because it took him 8 years to walk the path that zhang hao crossed in 1 year". It was a mess, 2 of the hot topics from both sides actually trended in the "real time" weibo tab for a few minutes. by the end, crosins were mad because the discussion was supposed to be about the Top Chinese Kpop artist but 8stars decided that spreading rumors about hao, his personality and personal life was a better idea. Int fans only know about the hao chan thing because minghao's cbar posted about it on twitter lol. https://x.com/CHINATHE8BAR/status/18112269679388
Oh the link I posted didn't fully send, here's minghao cbar's tweet if anyone wants to see it. https://x.com/CHINATHE8BAR/status/1811226967938896105 Out of all the things they could've brought from weibo, they thought the hao chan thing drama was the best one for some reason lol. At least it backfired on them in the international side, the way some carats and japanese users asked them to delete or mocked them in the qrts was funny asf.

There's a variety show that has been friendly to him too when running man was released they quoted the post on weibo kind of asking like when he'd come but it got taken down because the8 from seventeen is a regular cast member and his fans got madðŸ˜ðŸ˜ funny thing that's how the 8star beef with crosins started. But I agree only ah+ is confirmed, things like this variety show can only confirm that they have interest in him
Yeah the magazine fight was very random but 8stars and crosins were inevitably going to beef at some point there's only so many resources for Chinese kpop idols it's competitive I know 8stars were itching for a fight after that variety show post

Frankly the one missed opportunities that we know or that was exposed are the Hao opportunities on CN since they are the only ones who are releasing this things
From variety shows to magazine. One magazine is still asking for update from Wakeone if they can allow Hao to be with them for a cover for a year now😂
We won't know about kr ones since they don't bother exposing those

They could also negotiate things and accept the same job for another member if they wanted to. The company that reached put to them for the job wouldnt know the Idols whole schedule and the Idol would also never know the job was originally meant for them (unless the staff of that company mentioned to the other Idol that gig was for another member, which will never happen)
I mean that’s a little more out of my expertise, in terms of fashion I would find it highly unlikely that an offer from a brand for a partnership or magazine could be shifted to another member especially when those partnerships are a result of the brand usually following that idol and thinking they align well with the brand, if it doesn’t work out they usually have a lot of other people they also want to work with that they would just turn to instead. In terms of other things like appearing on shows and YouTube content ect that seems like something that would be more flexible to lineup changes.

the way the members will never know what opportunities they missed because of this and they are probably being lied to like why would you not even discuss it with your artists beforehand
Exactly like it would make me mad in both ways because why am I not being told about things offered to me and why are they being accepted or rejected without my consultation. I feel like that must breach contracts somewhere, especially accepting extra work without having a prior agreement.

Obviously things can vary and it all depends on said brands relationship with that individual but yes this is a very common practice that brands will pay a fee for post or video or tiktok whatever it may be. Especially on accounts that have a large following and reach and the more engagement and reach that account has (in general) the higher the fee can be. This is just from my experience and I’m not saying this is what’s 100% happening here but it is very common practice in the industry.

Thoughts on Jennie's outfit for Chanel? Personally not a huge fan of the wig but she looked pretty good in it surprisingly
I actually really liked it, I liked the use of the different shades of blue too. If anyone watched their show all their outfits really reflected Autumnal and Winter colours with blacks, whites, oranges and blue so I love the fact her outfit aligned with that and felt very on theme if you will. The blonde was a bold choice but it works well and sets off the blue well, I feel like a darker colour might have dulled out the blue!
