Goodbye, Odi: TXT’s Soobin Mourns His Late Pet Hedgehog

Odi

In a heartfelt and sad revelation, Soobin, the leader of TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) shared some tragic news involving his beloved pet hedgehog. According to Soobin, Odi passed away due to a disease he was diagnosed with in January 2023.

The news has left fans and followers deeply moved, as they reminisce about the numerous moments Soobin talked about Odi on social media.

Soobin expressed his grief during a Weverse live broadcast, stating, “I didn’t know how to begin or how to bring it up. I lacked the courage to talk about it. I even contemplated never discussing Odi’s condition. But with so many inquiries about him, I realized I couldn’t keep hiding the truth. I believe I’ve sent him off peacefully, but my heart ached for a long time.”

Odi‘s passing occurred last month, when Soobin was away in Japan. He recalled a poignant moment, “After our dome tour ended, I video-called Odi, telling him I’d be back in two weeks. He seemed strong, and I felt both pride and sadness. But just a few days later, he was gone. I wasn’t there to bid him farewell, and that weighs heavily on my heart.”

In April 2021, the TXT leader introduced Odi to the world. The hedgehog, who lived in TXT’s dorm alongside members Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai, quickly became a global sensation. Soobin‘s frequent updates about Odi on social media endeared the pet to fans worldwide. Odi even had his own fancam by Mnet, a testament to his popularity.

Soobin’s bond with Odi

Soobin‘s bond with his pet hedgehog was evident. He often showed Odi off to fans and shared the touching reason behind his name. “In Korea, naming a pet after food is believed to grant them a long life. That’s why I named him Odi, the Korean word for mulberry. I hope he’ll live a long and healthy life,” Soobin explained in a YouTube video TXT filmed for a media outlet.

In an interview with Weverse Magazine, Soobin delved deeper into his life with Odi. He humorously mentioned Odi’s love for mealworms and his initial hesitancy towards human interaction. Over time, Odi warmed up to people, especially enjoying belly rubs. “Having Odi added variety to my routine. He brightened my day. I’m just grateful he was there, waiting for me,” Soobin reflected.

The bond between Soobin and Odi was profound. “I adored Odi immensely. He’ll forever be etched in my memories. Our time together was brief, but I’m eternally grateful to him. I hope he’s free from pain now,” Soobin expressed.

He concluded with a touching sentiment, “They say when humans ascend to heaven, their pets greet them. I hope that when my time comes, a healthy Odi will be the first to welcome me there. I urge everyone not to worry too much. Let’s cherish Odi’s memories and give him a heartfelt farewell.”

Should BTS’ RM Apologize to Muslims for Posting an “Islamophobic” IG Story?

The global sensation BTS is no stranger to making headlines. However, this time, it’s not for their chart-topping hits or groundbreaking performances. RM, the group’s leader, came under fire for a song recommendation he made on his Instagram story. He posted about the song “Bad Religion” by Frank Ocean. As many fans eagerly listened to the track, they soon realized that the song has been a topic of debate for some time.

@xsrnghj04

#badreligion #namjoon #rm #rmbts #army

♬ Sombody’s Pleasure – Sad Vibes Night

All about “Bad Religion”

“Bad Religion” by American singer-songwriter Frank Ocean is a profound exploration of internal conflict, unrequited love, and the search for understanding and acceptance. It delves deep into the psyche of an individual grappling with the pain of loving someone who doesn’t feel the same.

The song begins with Frank Ocean in the backseat of a taxi. In the song, he asks the taxi driver to play the role of a therapist. Drivers often become inadvertent therapists, offering passengers a safe space to rant and reflect. A taxi’s intimate setting, combined with the driver’s detachment, creates an environment reminiscent of a confessional.

@royalrkives

hope this helps? again, ur entitled to ur own feelings & opinions regardless of this explanation 💜 #방탄 #bts #방탄소년단 #armybts #btsarmy #bts_official_bighit #bangtan #bangtanboys #namjoon #royalrkives #kimnamjoon #남준 #김남준 #방탄남준 #rm #rmbts

♬ original sound – royalty 🎀🕷

Religion plays an important role in the song. It serves as a metaphor for the confusion and pain of unrequited love. In the chorus, the taxi driver uttered the Islamic protective oath, “Allahu Akbar” (which means “God is the greatest”). It suggests that one should seek solace in a higher power when faced with overwhelming problems. However, for Frank Ocean, this religious reference intertwines with his unrequited love, leading him to question the very nature of devotion and worship.

Throughout the song, love is portrayed as a form of worship. This “bad religion” of unrequited love contrasts with institutionalized religious beliefs that often condemn homosexuality. Frank Ocean‘s open letter following the Orlando mass shooting underscores the pain and alienation many LGBTQ+ individuals feel due to societal and religious prejudices.

Should RM apologize?

The recommendation has left the internet divided. Some believe RM should’ve been more cautious with his song choices, especially given the global reach and influence of BTS. Others argue that he might not have been aware of the song’s controversial history. Many Muslims don’t approve of Frank Ocean’s use of that phrase in his lyrics. However, in the context of the song’s overall narrative, the use of the line doesn’t seem to be disrespectful of Islam.

As an individual, RM has the freedom to listen to anything. But the dynamics change when he shares his musical preferences on a platform like Instagram, especially given his immense global influence. Sharing a song can be perceived by many as an endorsement or recommendation, even if the intent might simply be an appreciation of the song itself.

Historically, public figures have often faced backlash for sharing songs, movies, or other forms of art that have contentious elements. The emphasis, in such situations, is on the response. A genuine acknowledgment or clarification can be instrumental in addressing concerns.

RM‘s decision to share “Bad Religion” on his Instagram story is fraught with complications. While personal freedom in musical choices is essential, public figures like BTS’ leader have great power. As such, they should use it responsibly. Whether he should apologize or not is subjective and hinges on the feedback from his diverse fanbase and the broader public. – K-Pop News Writer

SEVENTEEN’s Seungkwan Breaks His Silence as PLEDIS Announces His Return

The K-pop world buzzed with excitement as PLEDIS Entertainment confirmed the much-anticipated return of SEVENTEEN‘s Seungkwan. A representative from the agency told Xports News that the group’s main vocalist will participate in their upcoming comeback, which is tentatively scheduled for October.

Seungkwan posts on Weverse

Seungkwan broke his silence on the same day, reaching out to fans with a heartfelt message. “How are you doing, CARATs?” he wrote on Weverse. “It’s been a while. There’s so many things I want to say, but first of all, I’ve missed you so much! You were probably curious how I’ve been doing, right? I’ve been resting and recovering well.”

He went on to describe how this hiatus affected him. “It feels like I’ve experienced true rest for the first time. Of course there were times when I went on vacation for a few days, but this was the first time in my life I’ve taken a break completely for myself in order to recharge.”

At first, Seungkwan wasn’t sure he wanted to take the time off. He was worried that his members would feel burdened by his absence. But the 12 boys rallied around him, as did the fans. Their bond and support played a significant role in his healing. 

“I’m really getting so much better,” he wrote. “ I feel like it won’t be long until I can meet you all. I was going to leave a short message and photos saying I’m doing well, but as I was actually writing, that didn’t happen.”

SEVENTEEN reacts

Seungkwan ended his message by saying, “I’ll leave it up to here for today and tell you more later. I’ll come back to cheerfully greet everyone again! Thank you CARATs, sleep well. P.S. I’m eating well, sleeping well, bloating well, and debloating well. Don’t worry.”

His fellow SEVENTEEN members were quick to respond to Seungkwan‘s message. Mingyu playfully remarked, “I miss you so much, I’m gonna give you a kiss on the cheek.” DK, Jun, and The8 shared their sentiments as well, emphasizing Seungkwan‘s importance to the group and their eagerness for his return.

Seungkwan will participate in the November and December dates of SEVENTEEN’s Japanese dome tour. It will kick off on November 23-24 at the Veruna Dome in Saitama, followed by performances on November 30 and December 2-3 at Vantelin Dome in Nagoya.

JYP Entertainment Faces Disappointing Earnings, Stock Slump

JYP Entertainment, the renowned music label responsible for K-pop sensations such as NiziU, Stray Kids, and TWICE, experienced a notable decline in its stock value recently. This is attributed to the company’s inability to meet its projected quarterly profit figures.

On August 14, its shares plummeted by 8.3%, closing at 119,000 KRW ($89.4). Earlier that day, the stock value had even hit a low of 113,300 KRW. While the entertainment agency’s second-quarter operating profit witnessed a commendable 88% year-on-year increase, reaching 45.6 billion KRW, it still fell short of its anticipated 51 billion won earnings.

Stray Kids “PARTY’S NOT OVER” | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]｜2023 STAYweeK

Many factors contributed to this unexpected outcome. Hanwha Investment & Securities Co. analyst, Park Soo-young, wrote in a report dated August 14 that the company’s content production expenses and employee bonuses had more than doubled compared to last year. These increased expenditures impacted the company’s overall profit. Ergo, despite the stock’s impressive 84% growth since the beginning of the year, Park suggests that it might temporarily underperform.

Park also offered some insights into the future of the Korean entertainment industry. He predicts a potential slow down next year, given the recent surge in album sales and the resumption of live events. Emphasizing the importance of diversifying revenue streams, Park stated, “It’s now crucial to enhance the success rate of various channels, like digital content and merchandise, especially in the North American and European markets.”

JYP Entertainment and its rivals

Interestingly, about 30% of JYP’s quarterly revenue comes from the Americas. This is largely due to the company’s strategic partnership with the American label Republic Records, a division of the Universal Music Group. This collaboration has significantly amplified the intellectual property rights of K-pop groups like Stray Kids and TWICE in the region. Park anticipates that JYP will continue to broaden its footprint in Western markets, ensuring more consistent profit margins than its rivals.

In comparison, other major players in the K-pop industry also witnessed fluctuations in their stock values. YG Entertainment, the company behind BLACKPINK and BIGBANG, saw a minor decrease of 0.24%, closing at 81,500 KRW on the same day. Their second-quarter operating profit stood at 28.9 billion KRW, a staggering increase of approximately 3.1 times from the previous year. Their revenue also doubled, reaching 158.2 billion won.

BLACKPINK – 7th ANNIVERSARY

Meanwhile, SM Entertainment, the pioneering agency representing aespa and NCT, among other big K-pop acts, observed a slight uptick of 0.15% in its shares, ending at 136,700 KRW. Despite facing management disputes earlier this year, the company reported robust second-quarter figures. Their operating profit surged by 84% year-on-year, amounting to 35.7 billion won, while their revenue increased by 30%, totaling 239.8 billion won.

While JYP Entertainment’s recent stock decline is a cause for concern, it should be viewed within the broader context of the dynamic and ever-evolving K-pop industry. With strategic partnerships and a focus on diversifying revenue streams, JYP is still in a good position to navigate the challenges ahead. – K-Pop News Writer
