0:00So I have a theory about this song Ji Eun situation.
0:03But before I tell you, I wanna make two quick disclaimers.
0:05Number one, this is just a theory.
0:07I'm just theorizing. Do not push this theory as fact.
0:11I am not pushing this theory as fact.
0:12I, like everyone else,
0:14is just trying to understand
0:15what the hell is going on over at one label.
0:17Number two, me presenting this theory
0:19is not me condoning
0:21anything that is happening behind the scenes at one label right now.
0:24That is fucked up. That's a big one, too.
0:26This theory largely hinges on something
0:28that I've talked about many times.
0:29And it's that capitalism will always capitalism.
0:31And J Y P E. Is a business.
0:33It is not an emotional enterprise.
0:35So when people come to me and they ask me things like,
0:37do I think Han doesn't have an ambassadorship because G Y P.
0:40Is holding him back? My answer is always no.
0:42But cause I think it's more likely
0:43that Han just hasn't found one he wants to work with yet.
0:45Or maybe he doesn't want one at all.
0:47Which is totally okay. Because at the end of the day,
0:49I will always say, capitalism is always gonna capitalism.
0:51Because every time a member gets one of these brand ambassador ships,
0:54J Y P E. Is getting a cut of that brand ambassador ship.
0:57So it makes zero financial sense for J Y P E.
1:00To not be letting Han have one
1:02when they would be making money off of it.
1:04Now this brings us to Felix,
1:05who has an obscene amount of brand ambassador ships at this point.
1:08And I've been trying to work out why that might be,
1:11and I think I've potentially come up with a possible answer
1:13at this point. What happens within the next couple of years?
1:16Every single member except Chan and Felix goes to the military, right?
1:20Chan and Felix will be the only ones left.
1:22I think J Y P E. Could potentially be
1:24wanting Chan to stay on the production side of things
1:26so that he's still producing music for when Stray Kids comes back,
1:29which he probably already has all that done,
1:30let's be honest. But also,
1:32we know that 3 Racha has been producing for other groups as well.
1:35And when the other two members of 3 Racha in the military
1:37and Chan still there, Chan could still be working there
1:39producing for the entire time the members are in the military.
1:42Then that leaves Felix.
1:43What do we do with Felix for the two years that the members are gone?
1:47Felix is pretty much been the face of the group for a very long time
1:50now. He's a very marketable member because of his looks,
1:53his personality, his voice.
1:54He's extremely marketable.
1:55So what could be happening is Jype Song,
1:58Joong Ki, whoever
1:59is heavily focusing on building up Felix's brand ambassadorships,
2:04his presence, his media Presence,
2:06his fame, presence,
2:07everything. Making him more marketable everywhere
2:10so that when all the other members are in the military,
2:12there's still Felix, they're able to make JYP a whole bunch of money
2:15through these brand ambassadors.
2:17More marketable and famous Felix becomes the more money JYP makes.
2:21So my theory is that the song
2:23Jung Lady has been heavily focusing on Felix
2:26so much because they know how profitable he is
2:29and could be. When all the other members are gone
2:31and not making JYP
2:33nearly as much money as they are when they're active,
2:36then at that point the question just becomes,
2:37is Felix happy with this plan?
2:39If this is what is going on behind the scenes,
2:41is Felix on board with the idea of having a billion brand ambassador
2:44ships that are going to keep him working consistently
2:46the entire time the other members are in the military
2:48and chance busy producing or whatever?
2:50It gives him something to do.
2:52We don't know unless he tells us.
2:53Either way, we've all kind of had this theory
2:55that Felix was gonna take the military time to have a break,
2:57get his back surgery, etcetera.
2:59Will he do that? Maybe.
3:00Will he not do that? Maybe.
3:01None of us know. Again,
3:02unless he tells us directly.
3:04But my whole theory. Honestly,
3:06it does seem kind of plausible at this point
3:08when it comes to Chance's favoritism status.
3:10A lot of people seem to think that that status Was fake,
3:12and a lot of people seem to think that it's real.
3:13Given that I did not see it personally with my own eyes on his bubble,
3:16and I've only seen the screenshots,
3:17I am not going to accept it as a definitive piece of advice
3:21in this case. As we will say.
3:23Because I can't tell you guys whether it's really not
3:25because I never saw it with my own eyes,
3:26and y'all know how I feel about stating things as fact
3:29that I can't verify.
3:30I do think there's a whole lot of bullshit going on behind the scenes.
3:32I do think there's a lot of mismanagement going on.
3:34But at the end of the day,
3:36again, as I've said many times,
3:37we have to remember that JYP is a business.
3:38Capitalism is always going to capitalism,
3:40and they are always going to do the things
3:41that they think are going to make them the most money.
3:43And if that means giving Felix a billion brand ambassador ships
3:46to keep him working while the other members are in the military,
3:47well, honestly,
3:48at this point I could totally see that happening.
