• Netizens defend LE SSERAFIM's Sakura from critics questioning her singing abilities

    Netizens discuss about Sakura's confessions about people doubting her singing skills.

    On September 18, a popular post about Sakura appeared on TheQoo's community board. It was titled, "LE SSERAFIM SAKURA: MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THIS. I CAN'T SING THAT ".

    In the post, netizens talked about a video clip from an interview where Sakura talked about how she handles negative comments.

    In the video, Sakura is trying to stop her tears by saying, "People tell me a lot that I really can't sing. When I saw that, I felt a lot of pain. After that happened, it was hard to get into the recording studio. I wish I hadn't been given so many parts and lines in the song since then ".

    She continued by saying, "I wanted to do well, but I was worried that those things would be said to me again. I also want to work hard because I don't want to run away anymore ".

    Some netizens responded to this post by saying that Sakura's singing has improved a lot since she joined LE SSERAFIM, while others had different thoughts.

    Most of the time, netizens criticized people who posted mean comments that were too extreme.

    Check out the comments translated directly below:

    She kept saying that she was going to get better at both singing and dancing, so I don't know why people were so annoyed and left bad comments.

    Why would you go to the post of someone you don't like just to curse at them? Spend that time instead reading posts from people you like.

    Sakura went back to Korea and made her second debut with LE SSERAFIM. Her singing and dancing had gotten better, and she did well. While Sakura was getting things done, did those who didn't like her get anything done at all?

    Her singing and dancing do get better, and it's clear that she's trying. I hope she quit hurting herself.

    Her dancing and singing both got a lot better, of course.

    I wonder if she wants to try to become an actress…

    It's hard to admit when you're not good at something. She really has a great mind for business.

    If I were her, I probably would have said I wasn't good enough and given up. But it's amazing how she didn't give up after getting hurt and kept trying.

    To be an idol, you have to do more than just sing, so different people may have different standards.

    People can say what they don't like about something, but they don't have to be mean about it.

    Why do people have to say bad things as a simple passerby?

    What are your thoughts on the post about Sakura?

  • BTS's V Causes MASSIVE Crowd Chaos in Indonesia - Fans Flock to SimInvest Event for Exclusive V Merch

    BTS’s V is creating major buzz in Indonesia once again, and this time, it’s all thanks to his role as a global ambassador for the financial platform SimInvest!

    In March 2023, V was chosen as the face of the Indonesian investment platform, and he continues to hold the title for the second consecutive year. SimInvest has seen impressive growth thanks to V’s loyal fanbase, particularly among the younger generation. The platform expressed their delight, revealing that V’s influence has played a huge role in their success.

    For 2024, the platform is making an exciting move by adding legendary actor Jackie Chan as a co-ambassador alongside V. SimInvest hopes that this partnership will boost the platform’s appeal even further and help build trust among a wider audience.

    To celebrate the incredible growth, SimInvest threw an event in Jakarta from January 16 to 24. They set up a special booth at the MRT station where fans could grab exclusive V-themed merchandise and enjoy free coffee. As expected, the turnout was massive, with fans flooding the station and forming long lines. The crowd was so large that the event had to be paused multiple times for safety reasons, as SimInvest had to manage the growing number of fans. Both the company and the fans were in awe of the overwhelming "V-effect"!

    V’s popularity in Indonesia is undeniable. On Instagram, he was recently ranked as the second most influential celebrity in the world—just behind Cristiano Ronaldo. He also tops the search volume charts on Indonesia’s Google Trends for Korean stars.

    This isn’t the first time V has caused a stir in Indonesia. Back in 2021, during BTS's ambassadorship with Hyundai Motors at the Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), a "Hyundai x BTS" photo booth saw V being the most popular member with attendees. Fans couldn’t get enough of the global superstar!

    It’s clear that V’s impact in Indonesia—and globally—continues to grow stronger, with fans everywhere eager to show their love for the K-pop icon!
