MADEIN S -- Clockwise - Mashiro, Miu, Nagomi, Serina.
These young Japanese women are beautiful and talented Kpop idols. I don't promote their MVs or stages because their agency is mired in a sexual harassment scandal. All four appear to be trapped by employment visa regulations.
Pray for them , send positive vibrations, or whatever....

Made In Perfects their Grill With the New Version 2 Model – CookOut News
They say in sports that “the best ability is availability”. If that holds true for grills, Made In lost points with their otherwise great grill that they first released last year. I really liked that grill when I reviewed it, was frequentl…

🧵 1/2
In a post I wrote not that long ago, I explained why I was not linking to MADEIN MVs here.*
This abstention has been a trial for me recently, as I loved "Super Obvious", their most recent comeback, and thought some of the outfits they wore for the music shows were A+.
I've had had an easier time not boosting the B side. Besides not liking the song as much as 'Super Obvious", I feel my British English ears assaulted by the title "Pung", which sounds like a portmanteau word composed of "pong" and "dung".
*See the second post in this thread for an explanation...

MADEIN -- Nagomi
I know she was only three when she left London, but I like to imagine Nagomi coming back to her place at the end of a hard day, making herself a nice cup of tea, listening to the BBC, and eating a bag of Walker's cheese and onion crisps.

MADEIN -- Nagomi
After a good deal of internal debate, I decided not to post MADEIN -- Super Obvious.
Although the song interests me for various reasons, I was mindful of the boycott a group of fans have announced following former member Gaeun telling of her being sexually assaulted by a senior executive at the agency.
The boycott seems to have been largely ineffectual, as the group seems to be getting decent figures on Spotify and YouTube. I don't know about their album sales, but I do know that they have a sizeable Japanese following who seem either unaware or just heedless of the calls for boycott.
I did think about posting a music show stage which maybe half a dozen people would watch and balanced the pleasure that post might provide me and one or two people here against the surely negligible benefit the post would provide for the bad actor at the agency.
But then I interrupted these utilitarian calculations by imagining what it would be like if Gaeun were sitting here with me. Wouldn't she feel hurt and betrayed if I pressed the post button?
So eventually I have decided not to post the video, but still feel frustrated all the same.
In addition, another part of me is thinking that my spending time and energy agonizing over a Kpop post on Mastodon is remiss in itself when I have all sorts of other and surely more important obligations to meet.
On the other hand....
The pictured member Nagomi was born in London. She left the city when she was three, but I think might still have family connections there. She admires Eunha, so that's a thumbs up from me, and she deserves another for looking so pretty here with her blonde bob.

If you want to enjoy MADEIN and MADEIN S without benefiting their odious agency and thereby breaking the boycott, go to Bilibili and
search for fan uploaded videos there.No knowledge of Chinese is absolutely necessary, although an ability to read some of the notices, buttons, and so on would no doubt be helpful.
I was delighted to discover this boycott safe work around, as I like the members and their music.

...I feel sad and bewildered.I don’t really know what has been going on, although I suspect the worse.
What difference, though, will my watching a YouTube of the group appearing on M Countdown really make?
Or am I a heel for even asking such a question?
MADEIN S -- L to R: Serina, Nagomi, Mashiro, MiU.

🧵 2/3
MADEIN S, the all Japanese member subunit of MADEIN (formerly LIMELIGHT) recently released “Blue”.Although I like MADEIN, I am aware that the agency that manages them stands accused of serious abuse.
One Korean member, Gaeun, left the group amidst allegations of sexual harassment by an agency executive. Another Korean member, Sohye, is on hiatus “for personal reasons.” Yeseo, a Korean who, together with the Japanese Mashiro, was taken from the group Kep1er, appears to have been dungeoned by the agency.
This leaves MADEIN S, made up of the four Japanese members of MADEIN: Mashiro, MiU, Serina, and Nagomi.
A group of fans have started a campaign to put pressure on the agency:
>>We Condemn 143 Entertainment’s Inaction on the Sexual Assault Case and the Shameless Behavior of CEO Lee Yonghak .
143 Entertainment (hereinafter "143") recently announced that their idol group would be promoting in Japan. It has been three months since the sexual assault committed by CEO Lee Yonghak was clearly exposed to the public, yet 143 has neither issued a proper apology nor taken any meaningful follow-up action—only denying the facts. While law enforcement has begun accelerating the investigation, the conduct of 143 and CEO Lee Yonghak remains outrageous. The company has offered no apology or response whatsoever regarding the situation. Even the formal announcement of Lee Yonghak’s resignation has quietly disappeared, and instead, his name was listed as Executive Producer and Head of Global Business in the credits of another artist’s music video released on July 31st.
The company has yet to pay overdue production fees and wages, totaling hundreds of millions of won. Even more shockingly, it was revealed that 143 had signed exclusive contracts and arranged broadcast appearances for artists without registering as a legitimate agency under the Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act. This unregistered business operation has already been reported to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism by the Youth Media Human Rights Network, and additional investigations are expected. 143 not only failed to comply with basic administrative regulations, but also ignored wage delays during production and, above all, passively allowed its CEO to commit crimes against underage artists.
What is even more serious is that CEO Lee Yonghak shows no remorse for his actions. Just last night, he posted a link to a private photo of the victim—unrelated to the current case—on his personal SNS account with the caption: “This is karma and justice.” Circumstantial evidence strongly suggests that Lee himself was the original distributor of the photo. This is not only a blatant attempt to blur the core issue but also a clear effort to defame the victim. Such conduct will undoubtedly face appropriate legal consequences.
Prosecution of Lee Yonghak is imminent. There can be no justification for violence against a minor artist under any circumstances. Swift investigation and a firm ruling by the courts must ensure the victim’s safety and allow her to regain her daily life. Even now, 143 must issue an official apology for this incident. CEO Lee Yonghak must cease his disgraceful attempts to divert attention, genuinely repent, and fully comply with the proper legal procedures.
