I love shows like this. Tackles real life issues that people don't want to talk about. They are not afraid if they get low ratings because of it. Keep it up! Excellent E08!
More likely exaggerated but it doesn't mean this level of school violence isn't happening. Remember, fiction writers…
For example, here in the Philippines, a video leaked from a prestigious school of a Taekwondo student bullying his classmates for years. No one talked about it, they were all afraid and/or silenced. But one day, a video was leaked and it became their downfall. The kid was suspended and permanently banned from Taekwondo and any othe martial arts and sports.
You'll think the kid was copying K-drama. But it was just him being a bully and brought up with a golden spoon and protection from his clan who's well connected, wealthy, and influential. 🤷🏽 They probably fled to the USA after all the cases against their kid were settled. And just like that, they disappeared from media and social media afterwards.
All the videos which were eventually brought to light were so damning.
Which makes you wonder, how many more bullying cases are there that no one has heard about? And this is just the Philippines, recently, bullies here are experts in keeping cases quiet, so it's rare that we hear anything about it. In Korea, it's more rampant, even GenXennial celebrities talk about it. But recent changes in their laws are teaching bullies how to keep it quiet, so now if you hear something you'll think it's made up.
Korean dramas with school bullying are so terrifying and can't even imagine how a student can study in that environment…
More likely exaggerated but it doesn't mean this level of school violence isn't happening. Remember, fiction writers are inspired by their experiences and things they've witnessed far more often than they want to admit publicly. Not to mention, current social issues that are being buried by those in power or with the money. And well, it is happening in other countries too.
Although it proves itself online voting solo stan winner competition but I am happy for Park Han. That person…
Wait. People attacked him? LOL. Some "fans" really doesn't have anything better to do. The guy's a professional vocalist and singer. Getting free lessons from him is something anyone should be thankful for, not get offended.
He will actually fit very well here in the Philippines because professional vocals and singing mentors here are as strict as him. Actually, stricter and mire offensive than him.
LOL. I can't believe he got attacked because he was strict and direct.
F&F Entertainment, if you're checking here, for the love of your parent company's reputation, hire someone who…
Another example: 아이유 If transliteration is the best way, it's AIYU not IU. Which one is more appealing, AIYU or IU? I think we all know the answer to that.How about Suzy? Her Korean name is Suji. She instead chose Suzy as her stage name. Which is more appealing for the global market, Suji or Suzy? It's Suzy obviously, and Suzy is a name in other languages and cultures. But in Korean it's written the same way.How come there are Koreans who writes their name in English differently? Because again, appeal and meaning.박 (Pak/Bak) is often rewritten as Park in English.신 (Sin) is often written in English as Shin.It's fine in Korean, but can be weird or mistaken for non-Koreans.So again, keep 아홉 but don't push for "AHOF" for the non-Korean market. 9ers/Niners is a better option and very relatable too. 9ers/Niners is also used often in baseball sports and team names, so like umm, fits your Universe League format where the group came from.
somebody quickly find a secondary meaning for ahof like people did with blit so they change the name
F&F Entertainment needs to do research and hire someone knowledgeable about the global market and the English language.
All they have to do is look at 소녀시대 (SNSD), in English, they're not called SNSD (although there are people who knows it) but rather as Girls' Generation.
Transliteration is not always the best choice. If SNSD did not use Girls' Generation, they wouldn't be as popular in the global market because most people can't relate to it and it won't be as appealing. But because they went for Girls' Generation, boom, the rest is history.
F&F lacks the right people. First they made a silly choice with UNIS's first fandom name. Now, AHOF? 😅
A transliteration of 아홉 (9) as AHOP, then they came up with a story, "All-time Hall of Fame" so it changed to AHOF. If that was all it takes, SNSD would've done that too and came up with some story about "SNSD" ("So New, So Damn" 😂).
F&F Entertainment, if you're checking here, for the love of your parent company's reputation, hire someone who understands the global market, in particular, the English language.Korean names makes sense for, well, Koreans. But not necessarily for the global market. It's the same for all languages. Be it Filipino or Japanese. You also change English titles and group names if it will make more sense in Korean!So, AHOF as English group name? It is not appealing at all. The group's name is not "All-time Hall of Fame", so please don't push AHOF.Learn from your seniors like 소녀시대 (SNSD) who is known globally as Girls' Generation, not as Sonyeo Sidae.Keep 아헙, it's perfect for the Korean market. But change the English name to 9ers or Niners. It still fits the concept behind 아홉 even if it's 9ers/Niners.Is not 9ers/Niners better for the global market than AHOF?It's not too late to change it.
Let's talk about the name. AHOF, seriously? 😳 Should've gone for "Hall of Famers" instead. There's a group…
LOL. I even saw Koreans reacting to the English name badly or with laughter. 🤣🤣😅😅 It's that bad even though they understood the context, 아홉 (ahop = 9). It just proves the Korean name makes sense and is fine in Korean but not in English. 😂😂😝😝
I am on the same page, absolutely nicely put together.One question, by little skirmish and leaving team regarding…
Yep. At least based on the revelations in UL. And then when they met again in UL and Woongki deliberately ignored his former team mate. They didn't show if he apologized for it. If he did not, he's "risky" (I guess is the right word). Is he just like that? Or, did he mature after the revelation?
They also did not air Woongki's side. Him ignoring his former teammate after he greeted him a couple of times, that's deep resentment and anger. It's a different situation already. But, of course, they're teenagers. They don't know better. Hi could've easily grabbed the situation too. The rest of the show, they still were not in talking terms, so I'm assuming they haven't exactly reconciled, they just avoided each other to prevent the cameras from turning them into a sensation. 😅

I sure hope Woongki matured after winning.
