"If you wanna fail, show this". I don't even understand what those pictures mean. Not so flattering pictures, don't all celebrities have them?
I always thought all the 4Minute members had weird and not so great looking hair in the early years including Hyuna. The only one exception is Jiyoon, she was always consistently looking great. I loved her short hair/shades look when 4Minute started out.

There's a lot of dark and exploitative undertones to kpop but that OP is just so cryptic it's actually kind of weirding me out.
Oh man, actually going through it, I'm starting to think that OP's account got compromised at some point.
It's like watching someone get bit by a zombie.

Maybe there's an NX reveal hidden in that OP

Wouldn't peg you for a Kpop fan in a million years.

huh what, this is a sequel to Perfect Blue?
Ok, I think I'm putting it together a little bit. OP is an insane stalker fan of K-Pop singer Gayoon, who was a member of the group 4minute, which recently broke up.
OP thinks it's very important for us to know that Gayoon looks pretty without makeup and has not had plastic surgery.
I believe the "if you want to make money show this" vs "if you want to lose money show this" is showing us two different singers from the group, the first being the one the OP is obsessed with, and the second being the one the production company that created this K-Pop group chose to promote.
OP believes that the production company deliberately tanked the career of the singer he's obsessed with and tried to make her look ugly, because they were afraid that if they showed her true beauty the other singer's career would be damaged. As evidence of this, he shows some pics that show she looks vaguely similar to Miss Korea, who we can assume everyone agrees is pretty.
Also he has a few bits about some shitty things the production company has done which don't relate to this, but presumably he thinks help support his conspiracy theories about the singer he's obsessed with.
OP, am I close?

OP posts the same shit in other forums outside of GAF as well. Bot status is 95% confirmed.

Real talk, most of OP's post history is just talking about sales and the business side of games which all looks pretty normal. This creepy kpop weirdness is recent. It started off relatively innocuous and then became... this. I seriously think their account got compromised by some spambot.
Pretty much it, but the "if you want to make money show this" vs "if you want to lose money show this" part is the same person - Gayoon. He's saying that they always "sabotaged" her in MVs in order to highlight Hyuna (who he claims in other threads is the CEO's favorite), and didn't show her as the "Miss Korea beauty" as he sees her when she appears individually on tv shows(and which would have made Cube more money).

You're doing good work, Parmenides. Please keep ignoring the thread you created, keeping in with the age-old GAF tradition held by those who post starkly incomplete or incorrect information.
So Cube is Lou Pearlman and all these girls are ever iteration of a pop group ever being taken advantage of mentally and physically and now it's coming to light.
Got it.
It kinda felt obvious that the whole world of pop music, over every continent of this planet, is just filled with scumbags of every sort. Looking to cut a piece off the talent for themselves, whatever that may be and however they need to do it.

Disgusted by all you guys "pretending" to be confused so you don't have to admit the truth. Bunch of Nissan Cube fans, here. Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three to get ready, and four to go.
Parmenides is wrong then, because the majority are from the early years of the band, in which 4 out of the 5 girls looks weird, except for Mirror, Mirror which is slighty newer than the rest of the examples. Why would Cube only make Gayoon look bad and not all the other girls? Not saying fishy things aren't happening in the Kpop industry. Like I said in my previous post, Jiyoon has been looking great since the start of 4Minute. Imo all the girls looks great since Volume Up and that of course includes Gayoon. So she didn't look bad from the early years of 4Minute till they disbanded.
Also Parmenides probably forgot that Cube let Gayoon and Jiyoon form a subgroup, 2Yoon.

Ohhh so it's a stealth Pokemon Go thread? Of course. It all makes sense now
Finally a robot with a noble cause that I, the reader, can invest in
OP just wanted an excuse to post pics of a good looking woman?
I'm not seeing a difference in the before/after pics.

You're trying to attribute some sense of logical unbiased thinking to Parmenides, even if incorrect, which is folly. There's his repeated, inane Gayoon sabotage posts, but this is also the guy that would harp on about the YouTube "like/dislike" ratio as a sign of 4Minute's superiority while conveniently omitting releases that had a higher ratio.
It's weird cos normally bots are like "Wanna buy cheap shoes" but this one is like "I AM PROGRAMMED TO TELL YOU THE TRUUUUTH ABOUT KPOP IDOLS"

I've dealt with that on other forums. The spambots look for keywords and have pre-prepared messages regarding that keyword.
Theoretically the bot would've picked up on the k-pop thread and used that to begin posting things, as well as other threads while it's at it. Then when you're least expecting it, it starts posting links. They're designed to look innocuous at first.
I'm guessing OP probably fell prey to a phishing scam or something, somewhere along the line.

Dear god the Hyuna and the 4minutes virus has spread all over GAF.
It was actually funny on the K-Pop OT thread as I thought it was just some bored 4minute stan but now? I'm a little concerned tbh. Hopefully it's a bot and not a real human being behind those posts.
I have no clue who you are but you are a gentleman and a scholar.

I thought kpop was dead after Gundam Style went out of style and I have no idea who 4minutes is.

The OP is a MESS.
Was legit hoping for a good, lengthy investigative piece, the whole idol culture is fascinating, sad, and kinda scary. Anyone know of some actual good single pieces profiling the seedier aspects, and not just a diarrhea of scattered links?
