All K-pop fans need to watch/listen to this. Some still think that the industry is like a fairy tale.

[daylightnsomniac]

wait why does bm look like he's having war flashbacks in the background??😂😂

[Velsterful]

Ladie's Code did actually really well during their rookie time. It's funny how Ashley didn't and still doesn't realize that. I guess when your absorbed in something you don't see what's going on around you

“idols aren’t perfect” - jae x mindset, episode 6

[rainbowgirl]

if you are really deep in the fandom life for years now & follow, support many groups & soloists you know how actually this industry is.
all we can do is keep supporting them, leave kind words, respecting their privacy & not spread negativity, rude words about others

[nuvas]

I bet there is alot of things people take for granted in kpop and kinda forget how hard these artists and those backstage have to work to make it possible

[lollmao]

Remember we never know what happens off cam

[KathleenFeliciano]

It's interesting to hear her say her friends think the k-pop industry is some magical place and that she's living the life. I have never met someone who thought that. If anything, most of the foreigners I've talked to know that the industry can be very toxic. Maybe we even make it out to be worse that it is. xD

[queeniechoi]

I was genuinely listening to Ashley but i laughed a little bit looking at BM just there spacing out HAHAHAHA

[patriciasroom]

all of them are talented and the fact that they go through so much and aren’t appreciated... i am disappointed

[moriiinnn]

LADIES CODE IS A MONSTER ROOKIE GROUP BEFORE!!

[alisyaBST]

idk y Ashley look down on herself/team so much. Ladies Code was really gd and talented. And the fact that they werent from a big3, and was popular, shows so much of their musicality. Yes they worked rlly hard for it (esp hard since they're in a new/non pop company), and was rewarded when they won a newcomer award in gaon, which just speaks for itself. I wasnt their fan, but I knew of them then and appreciated their music, which shows how incredibly talented they were. Though their success was rather short due to the incident, I believe that as a grp, they did outshine and prove themselves. It would have been great if their popularity lasted since they make amazing music, but it gets rlly hard when you have to reform your grp and concept. Nonetheless, I hope Ashley knows that she was an amazing idol then, and to look proud of that.

what leah said reminds me of what btob lee minhyuk said when they appeared in the show where peniel revealed that he is sick which is the reason he shaved his head and was wearing a cap all the time 🥺

[timothycruz]

This is honestly why this podcast is one of my favorites. I really appreciate how realistic they are about their experiences in an industry that is problematic in many ways. You all give a sense of realism that not everything glitters is gold. It reminds me of when Peniel said that "They're the product", such as a lot of the entertainment industry is around the world.

Dive Studios intentionally drop things at the best time. respect.

[caterinavillanueva]

I love Leah's personality and voice. Please more videos with her 💕🌟also I wanted to say that I stan Ladies Code for ever literally their music and videos are so creative and the vocals are beautiful. Ashley you are amazing, send all my love and support from Peru🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪

[maneensom]

Ladies Code is still has the best debut song for me. Seriously, that was top tier. Even the songs that followed was really good.

[drunkoffjuiceboxes]

Ladies Code was doing so well. The discography is *chef's kiss.*

[sylvanus]

This pretty much sums up reality versus expectations, and it’s just good to be aware of how things really aren’t perfect in the industry.

[n.o.]

Someone give the Dive Studios editor a raise seriously
