Posted on April 13, 2020 by Ada Roman Cabrera

Everyone knows BTS was supposed to be on tour right now but due to recent events it won’t be happening instead Big Hit Entertainment and BTS offer us another alternative. Bang Bang Con! The K-pop superstars will present a special online concert series, spanning next weekend. During which they will stream footage from various concerts from their career for fans stuck at home.

Here’s everything you need to know and how you should prepare.

How to watch:

The special online streaming event consisting of eight parts is available for free and will take place on April 18 and 19, each day beginning from 12 PM KST via the official YouTube channel BANGTANTV (April 17 and 18, each day starting from 11:00 PM in ET).

https://www.youtube.com/user/BANGTANTV

The schedule of events:

https://www.weverse.io/

So gather up your ARMY (and non-ARMY friends) on your video chatting platform of choice and get ready to stream!

Get ready to relive almost all of BTS’s entire career trajectory in two extremely fun packed days. It’s worth noting that these concerts have been available for purchase in the past, Bang Bang Con, meanwhile, will seemingly make these beloved shows available for free on YouTube during these two days. So do not let the opportunity go! I know I’ll be streaming.

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well during quarantine. I know things can get though at times but we can get over this.

Nth Room Sex Scandal

Posted on March 29, 2020March 29, 2020 by Ada Roman Cabrera

The nth room sex scandal has rocked South Korea and the K-Pop world with a storm. The abuse case is about a series of scandals where women, many of whom are underage, are being sexually exploited. It is said that at least 74 women including 16 underage girls were tricked and blackmailed into sharing sexual images of themselves. Nth room refers to a mass digital sex abuse scandal that’s happening in South Korea un a messenger app called Telegram. Telegram is usually known for its great cyber security and encoding all contents, making them untraceable. The evil man behind all of this disgusting situation is 25 year old Jo Joo Bin also referred as Cho. Jo Cho Bin created a business out of selling pornographic and sexual abuse videos.

Cho created several closed chat rooms in different “tiers”, the 1st room, 2nd, 3rd and so on…there is where the name comes from. People interested in watching the videos would pay a high amount of money to gain access to the different tiers. Users would pay around 80 dollars to even a 1,200 dollars. The more money it costs, the more disgusting and abusive the video was. The primary targets of these videos where teenagers, they have been victims of over 260,000 men. Payers include famous idols, entertainers, artist, sport stars and CEOs.

This is such a huge issue because South Korean authorities won’t take the issue seriously. Even journalists covering the story have been blackmailed. People are blaming the victims for what happened and survivors of the horrific crime struggle with mental health issues after what happened. I won’t go into details of what the victims went through because it is so disgusting and heartbreaking. So I ask, when the name of the people involved get out please stop supporting them. Even if they’re your favorite idol please for the love of the victims who have suffered don’t ignore what they did. The survivors need justice, be an ally, don’t turn a blind eye or you’re just as bad as the people who made it happen.

I know this isn’t what I usually post about but is very necessary.

T #5: Privacy and Security on the Web

Posted on March 29, 2020March 29, 2020 by Ada Roman Cabrera

Now more than ever we are at risk on the Internet. Since the Coronavirus outbreak we spend more and more time on social media platforms and websites. For students this puts our information at a more vulnerable risk since our classes now depend exclusively in the web. Here are some things you may not know about how the Internet uses our private information and what we can do to stop it.

Social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Google, Facebook and even Snapchat basically own our information once we post something or log in. There’s little to no privacy. When we search for something on the web there are hundreds of companies and people looking at what you are doing so they can advertise their products to you or use your information to their advantage. This makes having privacy on the Internet close to impossible. Every site we go to, every social media platform you use keeps a track of what we do. For example Facebook has tools that allow them to recognize our friends and recommend them to us if we don’t already follow them in a feature called “people you may know” and not only that but by Facebook and Twitter knowing our friends they can see or guess what things interests us. Platform like these not only use our past searches to their advantage they also sell our web navigation patterns to others.

When we download apps, log in or create accounts they asks us to share our contacts, music, gallery and privacy. Once we accept, nothing is ours anymore. Google knows us including what we thought we deleted in a hidden files. So that is why I decided to download into my browser an app called Disconect.me. This app makes privacy a little easier so us. It keeps track and blocks of those sites that want information from me and you. The way it works is that every time you go into a page it lets you know how many other websites are activated there too. Disconnect lets you visualize & block the invisible websites that track you. It’s super easy to download and I recommend it.

Here’s how Disconnect.me has worked for me:

I first used it on YouTube and the number was pretty low, it was mostly blocking google’s different analytics page.

When I used in twitter the number went down but it showed it was blocking a lot of weird sites that I had never heard of.

Yahoo really surprised me though, I barely use it but I wanted to try it there since I heard that it was actually a really unsafe website. As soon as I went the number skyrocketed. It almost reached 100 which is alarming when you think about it. As I keep using the app, the numbers keep going up so that means it working. Once again I recommend you to use it.

To finish I want to remind everyone to use the Internet with caution. It’s a great place to learn but you also must be very careful.

Thanks everyone for reading, hope you guys enjoyed it!

My favorite airport fashion looks of all time

Posted on March 16, 2020 by Ada Roman Cabrera

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well amid everything that is going on with the virus, please remember to self isolate not only for your health but for others safety, stay hydrated and don’t spread panic.

I had a few things planned for this week’s post but with everything happening I just don’t have the motivation to do any of it sadly. So I decided that for this week’s post I will be talking about my all time favorite airport fashion looks because it’s kinda feel-good, simple and always fun. I will also be sharing some videos of the QQ twins (Q2Han) because they have a great series where they imitate some of these looks in a budget and they are very fun and always make you laugh.

#1. Yoongi in THIS look.

This look is so simple and most of his fashion choices are like that but the way he lives in those clothes are what makes this such a GREAT look. The nation’s emo boy.

#2. Hoseok and his aesthetic.

I could not imagine anyone else wearing Hobi’s style for me it’s so unique and very him, I absolutely love it.

#3. Jennie’s high fashion looks.

I always live for her style because she just radiates high fashion and class everywhere. She can make anything look expensive.

#4. Taeyong’s perfect fashion sense.

This is another great example of an artist that can make everything look amazing. He knows what fits him best and always impresses us with his fashion choices.
