Tamar Herman is not here anymore

I didn't make a pinned thread of this year's stories or anything... But I just made my Rolling Stone debut so the time has come

Haven’t posted here in over a year but wanted to pop in to remind anyone who is able to and hasn’t gone yet to go vote

So while I was MIA this weekend I missed this site’s owner sharing anitsemitic content & claims (ie jews control finances & have ruined X’s revenue) so I’m gonna head off for the foreseeable future because it just doesn’t feel safe or smart to be active as a visible Jewish person

what do you mean he self-published her manuscript w/o permission??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE GAVE OUT COPIES????

Reupping this because I have some behind the scene access for some K-pop stars at NYFW and would love to work with some editors (with a budget 😅) on this

@inkasrain Was this in oluf

@kdc Missing NS yoongji 🥲

Yesterday, around 200,000 teachers from across South Korea gathered in front of the National Assembly in Seoul dressed in black to commemorate the recent deaths of young teachers and to call for better protection of their rights.

@HexPositive Happy birthday!

Birthday girl ❣️

Some South Korean broadcasters host end of year ceremonies rather than award shows (though the industry there is inundated with them too). Still get the performances without having to deal with the drama of awards (mostly). I doubt it’d work here, but I still think about it a lot

@misterminsoo 🙄🙄🙄

I'm so glad you expanded upon this!

@karenkho My neighborhood buy nothing group is a treasure trove atm it’s wild

Just started watching the NCT 127 doc… thank you teacher unions for striking so that Mark Lee could pursue this dream

@taylorronald Thanks, glad it’s resonating!

I'm not a new K-pop guy, but I'm not an old one either. Reading this made me feel... old, but also, not old? Must be a good sign.

@mamachell I definitely noticed more Samsung sponsorship call outs than Toyota ones, but tbh since I was covering I didn't notice the pricing. I guess I gotta get back on Tiktok (taking a break because it's too addicting and I'm behind on all my TV shows!!!)

@TamarWrites First off the cost of everything. Seemed like it was a nice experience but every little thing was priced out. Also, just feedback (mostly on tiktok if I'm honest) quite a few people just accepted that this is how it is now but definitely said there's a marked change

I covered KCON via a variety of perspectives for three different outlets, and it left me wondering who is KCON for nowadays? Maybe not legacy acts. My latest for Notes on #kpop tinyurl.com/3e77wuxw
