Cube on the whole Hyuna and E’Dawn dating rumors

[loonaticmp3]

cube after hyuna and hyojong confirm the dating rumors they just denied

[yutoish]

i didn't feel like writing this was necessary, but after some of the acts i am witnessing it definetly is.

an idol dating isn't the end of their career. baekhyun and taeyeon dated, krystal and kai dated, tiffany and nichkhun dated, taeyang and hyorin are married, gdragon have been on various relationships, bae suzy is on her second boyfriend and all of them are successful and most important, happy.

instead we should be happy that they are doing what they love with people that love them and support them, and that should be all that matters.

if you see people leaving the fandom because of this, let them, because they weren't universe in the first place. i, personally, prefer a small and supportive fandom that a big and toxic one.

dear universe, be happy that our boys are in love with someone that loves them back. they haven't stopped loving us, and they never will.

reminder that WOMEN in the kpop industry paved the way for global success. The disrespect from men, boy group supremacists, and fellow women is ridiculous and undermining the strength and dominance women and kpop girl groups had over America and Japan.

Girls’ Generation was the first kpop group (not to mention female kpop group) that appeared on live US television- on the Letterman Show and Kelly Ripa. They also won a YouTube mv award for I Got a Boy (the FIRST kpop gg mv to get over 100m views) over big American names like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, which further brought exposure to not only snsd but the ENTIRE industry. And, not to mention, they performed at Madison Square Garden with their ICONIC Genie remix (and Miss Tiff’s rap god skills!!!)

the Wonder Girls are often overlooked when it comes to global exposure. They toured with the Jonas Brothers, released English singles, and were the FIRST kpop group to ever chart on the Billboard Hot 100 with the english version of “Nobody”. I literally can remember hearing Nobody in Justice when I was still in elementary school…like the Wonder Girls worked really hard to break into the global scene.

We also have BoA, who, for older fans, is LITERALLY the queen. She’s the woman who inspired Taeyeon of snsd to sing in the first place! BoA took Japan and South Korea by storm, but also released a full-length english album and headlined San Fran Pride in 2008. 

Hyuna also made waves when she released Bubble Pop in 2011 and was the first kpop mv to get 100 m views, and remained at the top of YouTube’s “Most Watched” videos for quite some time.

Disrespecting female kpop artists is so ignorant considering the fact that they’re the whole reason the industry has expanded its platform in the way that it has. To make the counterargument that they “failed to gain momentum” or “they flopped” is also totally uncalled for- as asian artists, FEMALE asian artists, they tackled something no one before them had ever attempted before, broke through many barriers, and each achieved what no one had (or has yet to, even) conquer.

Kpop’s statewide success is because of women who led the movement. Show credit where it is due…women run the world.

Here is an article Forbes wrote about the female dominance in overseas activities and how that has changed due to the generational group shifts.
