It's here, final edition of 2023 on kchan.
I will try to do a brief summary of the year that had most likely more content than any other year before, both in kpop at large and on kchan in particular. I will try to do it chronologically for the most part, but I will jump back and forth if I remember something else.
>Starting on the 1st of January, or rather ending on the 31st of December of the previous year, VLIVE has officially shut down. Luckily autists of the internet made many backups, but the course of kpap live streams has been altered ever since
>Wonyo and Minju quit their MC jobs, officialy ending the last remains of IZONE era
>Loona lawsuits happened, gradually every single girl managed to get free of Blockberry (though the cunts still haven't quit trying)
>This gave us ARTMS and Loossemble, both of which were a success with kchanons who continue loving the girls
>Momoland officially died
>Brave Girls reformed under a new company, Nabro was probably very happy
>Several groups had their first win including Billlie, NMIXX, H1-KEY
>Jisoo had a solo debut
>Jihyo had a solo debut
>TripleS debuted, this process is still ongoing as they are adding more girls, the current number is 20
>LimeLight had their official debut
>Queendom Puzzle happened, gave rise to the likes of H1-KEY and debuted a temporary group that nobody even remembers exist
>Joy went on a hiatus, but recovered well
>Rei was on a short hiatus and also recovered well
>Moon Sua went on a hiatus after her brother commited suicide, she came back and we wish only the best for her
>Apink left their company, but continue as a group
>Fifty Fifty had a meteoric rise on the charts becoming the cinderella story of 2023, this was promptly ruined by the company producer and CEO arguing over rights to the song, the resulting lawsuits ruined the group and 3 of the 4 members are forever cancelled in the eyes of the Korean public
>Kchan picked up a new poster whose waifu is Mia
>Kim Doah made a solo debut, unfortunately she remains nugu, but is making it in the hearts of kchanons
>Kchanons had many autistic debates, be it about screen to kpop size ratio, bras, push and pull theory, or even kpop buttons

>Wendy finished her job as radio show host, ending the era of running towards camera pictures
>Kchanon with very bad back problems had a surgery and recovered well
>Kiss of Life debuted, first solo then as a group
>Twitter changed their API making it ever more difficult to get pictures from that stoopid website
>Everglow FINALLY had a comeback, but decided to ruin Mia's hair for some reason
>Soojin came back from exile and debuted as solo
>The World Scout Jamboree was to take place in SK, weather utterly ruined it but it turned into the greatest kpop concert since the original Dream concers with all the big names such as IVE and Newjeans performing in one venue, livestreamed for free to the world
>BLACKPINK continue as a group but their solo activities no longer fall under YG, giving us hope we will actually get some music from them
>BLACKPINK was invited to Buckingham Palace and received honorary MBE's setting them on their way to become aristocracy
>Kchan reached 1 million posts with >>1000000 ➡
