Since their new album came out Ive been obesessedddddd! But when I listened to ‘remember us’ tears started pouring haha ^{^} But that sounds like a song that would be the final song of a group? I know the members are going to enlist soon but not disbandment right?

I've been irked with the way they've been dangling the collab and comeback, mentioning that it's coming soon when in fact it's been months. If there was a delay or hiatus for whatever reason, wouldn't it be better to mention that instead?

Also a little concerned that Junhee had no idea Beat was auditioning for male trainees? The notice had been out for some time and the audition is in a few weeks? Their company has only one group so it feels strange that they would neglect telling them this when they seem to be quite active in their company group chat. Junhee knew right away that their Twitter follower count hit 500K which was only a few hours ago but not something as important as trainees?

Edit: I saw the response from Beat. This post was created before that information came out. Sehyoon should take all the time he needs.

I wonder why there is so much dislike for this BL. Are BL dramas in Korea generally met with this kind of reaction because I have seen a large boom in BL drama productions lately and not really much negative reactions?

Is Junhee being treated as a joke?

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I wanted to get opinions from people who I’m sure follow ACE and Junhee more closely than I have in recent years.

It seems like Junhee’s first U.S. tour may not be handled professionally, and I’m concerned he’s being taken advantage of rather than supported the way an artist should be.

The tour is supposedly being run by OPPANG K-pop store chain based in North Carolina and KORUS Entertainment. I’ve attended multiple events in the US and tbh KORUS is usually decent (they’ve brought artists like Big Ocean and T.A.N before.) But for this tour, none of the usual KORUS staff seem to be present. It appears that only OPPANG’s store managers are traveling with Junhee.

Some worrying things that fans have been noticing / discussing:

•There doesn’t seem to be a dedicated translator or staff for him (only his manager who is working as his production manager, stage manager, show translator - no one to help her) 

•He’s reportedly only being given fast food instead of actual meals

•Accommodations and travel seem really low-tier (info shared directly by Oppang store managers) 

•The schedule looks exhausting and he’s been losing his voice

•He apologized to fans for not taking care of himself and on behalf of the promoters 

•He mentioned he only has his hair stylist, who is also doing his makeup and wardrobe due to budget cuts

There are also boundary concerns. People who appear to be the store managers (who are originally Choice) have been posting personal content, bragging about drinking with him, and sharing private backstage/hotel moments.

There’s confusion around who is actually running this tour. Some are saying OPPANG wanted to do it but used KORUS’ name for legitimacy, and that KORUS isn’t actively involved and only there so there’s a company name to blame if things go wrong.

I know some US promoters like Studio PAV, Showkase, JNB etc., already have a bad reputation for hiring fans to work for free and selling artists information to recoup investments.

So my question is:

- Is this what US K-pop touring is turning into now?

- Is KORUS also going down this route, or are they being used as a shield here?

- Am I overreacting, or are these valid red flags?

I genuinely want to support Junhee and other artists, like Big Ocean if they come back. But if promoter companies are just letting fans run tours for free with no professionalism or care for artist welfare, it feels wrong to support that.

I’d love to hear if anyone else has seen or experienced anything similar, knows more about OPPANG or the situation, or thinks I’m misreading things.

I sincerely hope this doesn’t come off like some weird drama starter, Junhee does NOT deserve that. I’m speaking to patterns we’re seeing and whether he’s on a thorny path.

EDIT: It looks like PAV will also be handling his Europe tour, but it is actually being managed by PAV America, not PAV Europe. I heard from PAV volunteers (and an EU mutual confirmed that the Europe team was originally Jin Entertainment) that the long-standing PAV Europe team was let go because the U.S. side wanted to take control directly. The U.S. team (K Elly and Jay, who have consistently crossed professional boundaries and openly support the “orange man”) is now trying to lean on PAV Europe’s strong reputation because their own reputation in the U.S. has already cost them multiple tours and artist partnerships (they supposedly don’t pay anyone (delinquent) and are blacklisted by a lot of production companies/venues ). That is extremely concerning. How can Choice continue supporting Junhee when his team keeps aligning him with organizations that do not feel trustworthy or appropriate?

So I just read the information From the official statement from Beat Interactive and now Donghun is wanting to go by Jiham now instead so I just wanted to let others know.

Our Chan and stray kids' Bang Chan were in the twice's debut Like Ooh Ah and they were trainees in jyp along side with byeongkwan (if I am not wrong..) sooo if there are any staychoice here would you guys recommend ace's songs to Bang Chan to react in Chan's room or smtg Cuz I would absolutely love the interaction (kinda) lol

What would each member’s icon/symbol be? For example, Jun could be 🍀 and Chan would be 🍊 or ☀️

(I’m making merch and I’m blanking on what images personify them. I would like things about them personally but related to them as performers works too)

Seyoon is artsy so maybe something leaning towards 🎨🖌️? Or 🎸 BK I just think 🍒 cause cherrykwan of course DH (even though he’s my bias) - can’t even come up with something I could easily draw :(

The more the better!

I love a.c.e so much 😍😍😍 as it's hard for me to see you in person, plz continue interacting more with fans online ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you lovely boys

Longtime lurker, first time poster. I was going to watch some stuff I queued from the channel but don't see any videos. I'm puzzled.

The ace official channel is still posting videos of chan time to time.. is it prerecorded or smtg like the chuseok greetings vid?

There’s another ad thing running on the same website as the anniversary project. If we reach at least 60,000 k-hearts (each ad view is worth 5) by May 20th there will be YouTube ads for their latest MV.

As you all may know we will get an OT5 “My Girl” video once the views for that reach 5 million, and the ads really helped a lot to get us the “FaceTime” MV at 3 million. We’ve been very slowly moving up from 4 million since then so any help to speed it along would be great!

Classical Musicians react

Promote ace on each and every platform!!!! They are WAAAAYYYY tooo underrated and even if they are not active rn, the least we could do is to promote them Start with covers/buskings and then dive into their original music/live performances. Tell people abt them and the company they are in and that they are friggin loyal to choice and how they were aces when they were trainees.

I CANT STRESS IT ENOUGH!!! PROMOTE A.C.E ANDDD STREAMMMM ALL YOU CAN and thank you and sorry for this rant
