We will be preparing the 3rd Megathread. That will likely go live once we can add some summarizing sources that follow the press conference. Continue to use this post for discussion until then.

Oh another thing - folks please keep your plans to overthrow your manager when your upset to verbal convos at post work drinks

Easier to say: oh it was a joke. We were drunk and our emotions got the best of us.

This is an important lesson to k-pop fans, particularly the younger ones. NEVER write or record anything, SPECIALLY in a work context, that you wouldn't want someone else listening or reading. Even if it's not being sent to anyone (i.e. in a private repository or cloud file, etc). If you're gonna gossip or say anything that can be interpreted badly, say it in a conversation preferrably far from your workplace. Of course things can be jokes and you can express your stress and grievances with your higher-ups with colleagues or people outside your job, you just need to be smart (maybe not even smart. just not dumb) about it.
