Mitra is a gEniUs /s

The music industry is a joke and this whole thing made me rethink my obsession for kpop, kpop adjacent artists (& any other mainstream artists I stan). It’s conflicting for me to completely hate Mitra bc she’s a successful woman in a “man’s world.” She is psychopathically (?) open and shameless about her methods. But imagine those who hide behind BIGGER stars, whose job is to make rage & drama to manipulate the audience. There’s people we don’t hear about who plan and direct our reactions like theater.

But it’s all “marketing” right? More buzz = more relevance. More controversy = more views. Adéla understood the game when she got out of DA so she used that drama to market herself (look where she is now). BUT I can only imagine how many artists have sold their soul bc this is the system that keeps the entertainment industry running.

LEXIE walked away from an almost guaranteed debut the 1st time bc the process didn’t align with her values. BUT it’s hard to be virtuous when you get a 2nd chance to fulfill your “dream.” At what cost Lexie? (Ngl she could’ve had a solo career if she knew the right people, so sadSatine wasn’t her only shot, tho getting famous is significantly easier when you don’t have to do all the planning). But yes let Hybe run the show for u, and like everyone stuck in this “methodology,” you watch the world burn.

Like a lot of you, I got too emotional over this so I’m gonna touch some grass after writing this. Maybe read a book.
