[theqoo] THE KIND OF COMMENTS YOU SEE FROM PEOPLE WHO SIGNED THE PETITION ABOUT THE "TRUTH" OF SNOWDROP(?)

T/N: context, there's a new Blue House petition opened by Snow Drop's minor Gallery on DC Gallery (t/n: female celebrities community similar to Ilbe and FMKorea) refuting history distortion and Chinese dumping money for the drama, etc.

There sure are a damn lot of English comments🤔

original post: here

1. Why are i-roaches on a South Korean national petition the f*ck? ㅋㅋ..

2. I really hope journalists jump on this to reportㅋㅋ We should send them all the i-roaches who signed the petition and their Tweets too (t/n: the last Snowdrop reaction from international fans made it to mainstream news)

3. Wow... If you want to sign, pay our taxes...

4. What are they even doing?🤷‍♀️

이거 '대한민국' 국민청원이거든요? 인도네시아어? 장난해? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅆㅂ 앞으로 국민청원도 신분증 인증 받아야겠네. 아 그럼 미성년자는 어떡하냐. https://t.co/eHpADcklBB pic.twitter.com/bqfKtoadWB

"This is a "SOUTH KOREAN" national petition? Why is there Indonesian? Are you kidding me?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ F**ck we need to request for personal ID for all national petitions in the future. Ah but then what to do with underage people."

5. You pay our taxes then. What business do you have dictating what other countries deem distortion of history or not? Why are you even signing?

6. Jisoo fans are translating the method to sign our petition everywhere and advertising it online. I hope you include this in the post too!

7. 

8. Like singers like fansㅋㅋㅋㅋ  She's seriously turning me off

9. Jisoo's fans are so low... Singing a 'NATIONAL' petition when you're a foreigner? Do you have no fear?

10. Look at them insisting that you can rig results on a national petition.....

11. It's amazing that international fans are excited over thisㅋ

12. Who else would sign this aside from Jisoo and BP fans?

13. They're always trying to rig the award shows votes all the time and now they've gone as far as signing our national petition? Pay our taxes thenㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

14. No butㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ F*ck you don't even fuss learning about our history and you have the nerve to do this? F*ck

15. This person was shielding Snowdrop so f*cking much and my Twitter friend went to call her out so she deleted her account

16. Saya setuju << This is Indonesian language

17. I'm getting more and more annoyed. They're so ignorant and insist on believing what they want to believe. Do they realize that they're trying to interfere with other countries' historical issues by exploiting the system designed for national democracy? Do they think that this is some kind of votes for an award show? Seriously i-roaches are straight up bugs, even their names don't do them justice

18. Wow I cringed............ physically 

19. I'm not going to support Blackpink in the future anymore

20. This Korean person is a fool for translating for i-roaches and even claimed she got a lawyer?

"Right now, I'm believing the opinions of lawyers about Snowdrop obviously way more than those cyber wreckers on communities and Youtube (t/n: 렉카=wrecker, term used when referring to people who are bandwagoning on controversies)

Let's just continue to enjoy Snowdrop and support Jisoo. I will support all characters and storyline!!! Anyways, as expected, educated people aren't rash in jumping to conclusions"

1. [+260, -4]

58% of the kids chose Bangtan. So where are the people saying that BTS started to wither with teens?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+206, -7]

To be honest, BTS' figure with teens have increased even more since last year;;; Just think about the commoner cosplays who are Army (t/n: Ilco= ilban in cosplay = commoner cosplay, a term used when people don't want to show they're fans of a certain artist, so they cosplay being a muggle IRL)

(t/n: last year, 58.3% of people between 13-18y'o picked BTS, this year, it's 58.6%)

3. [+143, -3]

So now, all we can do is take a screenshot of Gallup and Melon and not feed the troll teens who are jealous of us? This is freaking amazingㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+99, -0]

People kept insisting that BTS have no more teen fans now, but it's 58.6% ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+86, -0]

People keep calling PANN an ajumma place, but BTS isn't even top1 in the 40sㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+86, -4]

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ  How many years have Bangtan maintained their #1 with Gallup? Boy groups hardly survive on Gallupㅋㅋ  Bangtan is unexpected..

5. It's hilarious that NCT isn't there after they dragged Bangtan to the mudㅋㅋㅋ 

6. Taenggoo💜 We can trust Taeng💜

1. First of all, the acting is a party thereㅠㅠ  Lee Jinwook and Jung Jinyoung ajussi's part's acting was such a partyㅜㅜ  The shots are gorgeous and the scenery was so pretty... But it's indeed bloodyㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. I think it could be hit or miss for some people, but if you're into this genre, you'll love itㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was so fun ㅋㅋ

3. It's so good to the point I will feel bad to watch it for free

4. Lee Jinwook is f*cking handsome

5. There's a lot of blood and it's scary, but it was f*cking fun. Seriously this is Netflix material

6. It's f*cking fun... But visually speaking, there are gruesome partsㅋㅋㅋ

[theqoo] AESPA 'DREAMS COME TRUE' MV

original post: here

1. As expected, the original song is good so this song is good too

2. Oh their rap members are pretty good at singing too

3. What the? Their voices are good

4. A remake girl group?...

5. Wow I thought that this song would suit them but they are doing even better than I thought. I kept listening to it. Aespa doesn't have a vocal hole so their songs are worth listening to. I think that I can trust in listening to them now

6. I like this song and I think that it f*cking suits them

7. What the? The song is so good

8. Oho this is so good ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Also, seeing the AI members unexpectedly appear at the back like that was fine. They should've repeated the chorus one last time at the end since it feels like the song ended suddenly. That was the only regrettable thing

9. Is Karina's position rap or vocal? She suits them both

10. Winter seriously fits this perfectlyㅋㅋㅋ

[naver] PARK JONG-CHEOL'S REPRESENTATIVE RELEASES THEIR STANCE REGARDING SNOWDROP ft. SPONSORS LEAVING, DISNEY+ KOREA RESPONSE, VIEWERS RATINGS

[naver] PATRIOTIC MARTYR PARK JONG-CHEOL'S REP "SNOWDROP" IS INFLICTING A SECOND ROUND OF ASSAULT TO THE VICTIMS DUE TO THE DISTORTION OF SPIES

(T/N: From Wiki - In the 1980s, as president of the student council in the linguistics department of Seoul National University, [Park Jong-Cheol] was one of activists in universities struggling against Chun Doo-hwan's dictatorship and the aftermath of the 1980 Gwangju Massacre. Detained during an investigation into such activities, Park refused to confess the whereabouts of one of his fellow activists. During the interrogation, authorities used waterboarding techniques to torture him, eventually leading to his death on 14 January.)

T/N: the below is paraphrased

On the 20th, a representative of the Democratic Martyr Park Jong-cheol Memorial Foundation told CBS No-cut News on the 20th, "The three axes of state power, the NSA, the Headquarters of National Police, and the security officer, carried out the government's violence against the people at the time. It was carried out systematically, and torture and violence were used as means of control by instilling fear in the daily life of the people.”

"Violence and torture trampled on a person's dignity and created a sense of fear and humiliation. The scars cannot be recovered. I'm afraid that victims will recall even a fragment of the memory of their suffering, so I cannot tell you the details."

The article also points out that linking the democratic movement or the NSA with spies could eventually rationalize and justify their acts of violence which will result in a second round of abuse for the victims. The democratic movement and NSA should never be linked to spies because many students and protestors were killed and tortured by being falsely labeled as North Korean spies. In the drama 'Snowdrop', the NSA is chasing after the real spy which is being hidden by the female student which justifies the acts of the NSA.

The representative also commented on the production team of Snowdrop and JTBC saying that they are romanticizing the horrible past and distorting history.

Thanks to whom can you make dramas as you wish and live freely while enjoying democracy? If you have a brain and any conscience, try something called thinking. Don't let these people who call themselves "Korean" come forward and distort Korean history and disparage the democratization movement. The victims and people involved are still alive with their eyes freshly sharpened. What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?

2. [+528, -11]

This is seriously the endㅋㅋㅋ Snowdrop's early cancellation, good work

3. [+361, -4]

Just how scary is the power of the media? They need to know some shame seeing how Korean contents are being the hot issue around the world and that Korean historical dramas are being viewed internationally. It wasn't enough for them to inflict secondary damage to the victims? Should Moon Hae-In just shut his eyes down because he thinks of it as fiction? Seriously, there are so many crazy people blinded by money

4. [+341, -5]

They are belittling the democracy that was achieved by our ancestors who bled to death? They can't be in their right minds. Scrap everything

5. [+185, -4]

Honestly, there's no way someone who likes history would film this without knowing anything. There's no way they don't know about 1987
