founded in 2010, knetz was originally a fan blog that kept up-to-date with trending news surrounding the fast-paced world of kpop. although what started as an innocent hobby had quickly turned into netizen's #1 gossip news source, in it for the number of clicks and to provoke a response out of the public.
[ BREAKING ] Phoenix’s Noah’s Horrific Past Reveal + Reigniting #METOO in South Korea
we know how long you’ve been waiting for our input on the suddenly scandal that arose from hjh’s dark depths of hell. with it being common knowledge that one of the most popular companies within the kpop industry has a history of throwing hush money around to protect their pristine image, what phoenix’s noah had virtually revealed exactly a week ago had shaken the industry as a whole which in turn has caused a catastrophic domino effect.
ATTENTION: TRIGGER WARNING BELOW
for those who have been living under a rock, phoenix’s youngest member had recently posted his personal experience with sexual abuse online while he was still underage and under the care of hjh entertainment as a trainee. while milk and i won’t be responsible for circulating a screenshot of the post for our readers as you all can naver search that shit yourself, it is important to know that noah goes into explicit detail on how he was abused as a minor by an hjh employee and has kept the secret for over ten years in fear of many different factors including it hindering his approaching debut back then. that is, until now.
since the release of noah’s post, the story has been spread like a wildfire across social media platforms everywhere sparking immediately investigations by hjh entertainment themselves as they quickly released a statement a few hours after the post had been made:
“This is HJH Entertainment,
Due to the suddenly confession by one of our own artists concerning the extensive mistreatment he had received by one of our employees, the board of directors has deemed it ultimately necessary to halt all activities under our management immediately to further investigate this issue. We are saddened and ashamed that such a act has occurred within our establishment and will be using the next few weeks evaluating our staff, ethics, and managing practices in order to provide a safer working environment for both our talents and employees. We offer our sincerest apologies to the victim, oh noah, and his family.
– HJH Entertainment Public Relations Team “
after the official statement release, the original post made by noah has since been deleted as many have speculated that it was to keep the company’s collateral damage to a minimum. however, despite it already been a full week since the post has been made, the scandal is still being widely talked about as other idols, faceless trainees, and other celebrities have one by one been coming forward to speak out and tell their own horror stories that have sprouted from being in this gross industry.
of course, it’s not a scandal without official commentary. after the alleged post by phoenix’s very own maknae, knetizens have been going on a frenzy on deciding whether or not to include noah’s statement within the ever ( but dumbly ) controversial metoo movement. but to make your debate short since you are on my blog --
OF COURSE IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED, YOU DUMB SHITS.
any form of harassment, assault, or abuse whether the victim is male, female, fluid, non-binary, lgbt, etc. is wrong and the assaulter needs their ass kicked down an endless ditch so they can suffer eternally.
thanks for coming to my tedtalk.

1. [+502, -21] anyone who doesn’t support noah is the reason why victims of abuse can’t report the crime and seek the help they need. i hope that staff member rots, ugh. oh noah, i’m supporting you!!
2. [+367, -16] this is so gross. i literally have goosebumps right now ㅜㅜ but at least hjh is doing something about it...
3. [+244, -27] i get why hjh is halting all promotions but heol... ㅜㅜ i can’t help but feel bad for princess, especially their leader... they’ve all waited so long to debut and now this happens in the middle of their promotions ㅜㅜ
4. [+189, -2] release names!!! makes sure those trash staff members are never able to work in korea again!!!
5. [+33, -9] ㅋㅋㅋ you can always trust honey to talk sh*t even in her articles. i wonder if she knows the names of the idols who are speaking out anonymously...?
princess vs nyx is no competition. Princess actually seem like nice girls who like each other and have fun with what they're doing.
although i can’t argue with that, we haven’t exactly seen nyx yet or what they can do. i’ll save my criticisms ( and praises, maybe ) for when nyx actually starts dropping some teaser videos which shouldn’t be long. after the concept video they released last night, i do have a strong feeling that wonder records is about to give hjh a run for their money.
in all honesty ? not really. i mean… the princess girls are showing a lot of potential from what i’ve seen — i mean, did you see that adore u cover ? god DAMN. but aside from them… not really. yikes, right ? @ idols y'all gotta be more interesting, come on now
probably the whole princess vs nyx debate all over social media. even though nyx hasn’t released anything yet and princess has been teasing their fans for a while now with their pre-debut single from last year and now their current debut project, the fanbases for both are becoming pretty restless. i haven’t seen this much hype for rookie groups since back in day with scarlet and pandora which are ironically from the same two companies. and with nyx being rumored to debut not long after princess, i’m not surprised by the fanwars already stirring. it’s definitely something to look out for.
i heard daehee's in talks for a new drama. i wish he'd just fade into irrelevance like the rest of dragons
dragons, alongside pandora, bgc and ivory, literally paved the way for all your current faves so don’t talk to me about irrelevance when we literally have a rookie girl group that hasn’t had a comeback in almost a full year. if anything, you should be kissing daehee’s ass for helping to pave the way for boy groups like knight and decypher, and that’s the tea.
as much as i’ve had it with wonder and how they treated dragons at the end of their contracts, both daehee and mincheol should have retired when those contracts were up. they’re grown ass men who are still trying to live a pipe dream way past their prime. let’s not forget that daehee is primarily the cause of dragon’s disbandment in the first place due to his little drug scandal a few years back while bongki decided to leave right in the middle of everything as it was going down. mincheol is probably the most loyal to dragons while still balancing his own career but he hasn’t had a hit drama since The Heirs and that’s not even saying much. they should quit while they’re ahead and settle down quietly instead of making fools out of themselves by being try-hards. they’ve done enough.
what's with his "relationship" between siu and ysoul? sure, they've known each other for a bit, but it seems suspicious since siu did just break up with that chaebol right before 2017 ended... what do you think they're hiding?
isn’t it obvious? they’re set up to be each other’s beards. yasoul is as gay and proud as they come, but worldwide is being run by a bunch of bigots who are still trying to make it seem like she’s as straight as ruler just to fill their wallets and wank off. and siu? he’s still discovering himself but he’s definitely Not straight.
it definitely is suspicious, like, very suspicious. ysoul's always seemed very... anti male, for lack of a better term, and to have the pair of them announce that they're in a relationship almost at the exact same time as rumours about her sexuality started is all very suspicious. not to mention the whole siu situation, he doesn't exactly seem like the type to jump from one bed to another, if you get me. i have no idea what they're hiding but i know that, whatever it is, it's probably going to bite them in the ass and i am ready with popcorn for when it does.
PEEK A BOO !! we see you !! just because it's been a while doesn't we've forgotten about you or your faves. honey and i have been gathering a lot of dirt on the celebrities you know and hate so what does that mean ? your resident gossips MILK AND HONEY will be back at it again very shortly !! so be prepared to talk shit and listen to our two cents on the recent rumors that have been spreading around. after all, it's all fun and games as long as its anonymous, right~ ?
Paparazzi caught haneul grab jihos ass, wonder what that means since they disappeared for the rest of the event
our little jiho is getting around lately, wouldn't you say ? and i could tell you exactly what it means, angel, but i'm afraid it's classified as 18+ !
Jiho and Siwon running away from fans? I mean... if they have nothing to hide then why would they do that? My guess? There's definitely something more romantic going on past their friendly attitude. After all, how can we excuse how touchy they get around each other and the constant glances?
oh ? oh ! now that makes a little more sense. well done, bunny !! i agree though, they're definitely far too touchy feely with each other for there NOT to be something going on between them. we'll let you know if we hear anything else, my love. you can always count on milk & honey to disturb the carefully kept peace around here~
i heard that siwon from eros and kaz from knight ran away from fans who wanted to meet them? i don't know how can they be so ungrateful and entitled, honestly. it’d be a stretch to say they’re the most popular in their groups, so they should be thankful that people actually give a shit about them.
ran away ? okay, unless the fans were being straight up rude and disrespecting their privacy, then there's really no reason to ignore them unless the absolutely have to. and running away if just straight up disrespectful, fans don't do all they do to just be ignored by the people they adore. not cool, guys. not cool.
[ BREAKING ] Bang “Joker” Joonho Leaves Red Light Music + Evol?
surprise, surprise. yet another artist has left the dungeon known as red light music and fans are not happy about it! although we all know bang joonho as the main rapper and lead dancer for hjh’s co-ed project group evol and have been expecting his official debut with red light’s upcoming boy group, no limit, this upcoming new year, it just reached news outlets today that rlm’s longest running trainee of eight years has suddenly resigned from the company.
there has been no given statement from either joonho nor rlm as of now which only leads to question why the trainee had suddenly stepped down from both of his positions as a member of evol and no limit when he was literally months away from officially debuting. with speculations on the rise, fans are wondering where exactly will joon be going now and what will happen to evol and no limit when their rumored comeback and debut respectfully were planned for beginning of the new year?
with people criticizing red light’s management for not debuting the twenty-one year old earlier as well as joonho’s lack of professionalism for leaving in the middle of evol’s comeback preparations, it is clear that the speculations for this breaking news won’t die down anytime soon until the public receives clarification from either parties.

1. [+485, -32] heol... red light what are you doing? joker was your most loyal trainee after dealing with your sh*t for a full eight years. what a screw up.
2. [+229, -8] if i were in a company with a group as successful as decypher, i would want to leave too since i will never be as good ㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+200, -21] wasn’t it obvious that he was going to leave? he was only kept quiet for this long because he was placed in evol, but only because hjh requested him specifically. but now that hjh is playing favoritism with two certain members in the group, he probably got fed up and decided to leave all together. how frustrating.
4. [+163, -3] OPPA I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU!!!
5. [+21, -1] hopefully he will sign again at a different company where they will let him show all of his talents and charms. rlm was only holding him back ㅜㅜ
isn’t it a little too quiet these days? we just did a clean up for our inbox so come send us some juicy gossip or rumors you’ve heard and we’ll compile this week’s rumor mill. or if you prefer to hear the admins trash talk like we do any other day, come send us some questions and we’ll post them for the world to see. however, be on the look out. we have another exclusive for you guys coming very soon and we can guarantee that someone well-liked is about to be oh-so-hated.
the same as we think about anyone being mistreated; it's something that shouldn't happen. ever. no one deserves to be treated like shit and managers' are there to make sure bratty idols are getting to their schedules on time and all that. if anyone's mistreating their managers, they need to check themselves and learn how to be decent human beings.
who do you think of the male rookie groups is looking at a rocky future/members leaving?
unfortunately, i have to say no limit. with the group’s activities already being overshadowed by joon’s personal activities with evol and red light continuing to show major favouritism to decypher, no limit are going to have to go above and beyond to stick out in this day and age of monster rookies. i can see them losing members along the way as well. but even so, i hope my predictions are wrong and that they’ll do well when the time comes for them to debut.
it’s not a big deal, angel. if people want to do their thing, let them. as long as it’s not hurting anyone else, i’m all for everyone doing whatever makes them happy. especially if it helps them to be somewhat confident, at peace, and happy in this fucked up world.
how do you feel about the boys of Elite? i feel like none of them really stand out on their own...
babe, they literally just debuted like what ? three weeks ago ? calm down. let them do their own thing for a bit, they'll come into their own sooner or later.
