─── ⠀     ✿ ˒  ⠀     ❪ SOLARIA  GARDENS  is  a  fictional  entertainment  company,  founded  by  KANG  SEONHEE  in  2007.  solaria  was  the  latter  of  the  two  subsidiaries  of  GEMINI  INC.,  which  was  a  conglomerate  founded  by  APRICUS  CULTURE’s  ceos,  JEONG  KARIN  and  kang  seonhee,  in  2000.

after  her  experience  as  an  idol  in  the  first-generation  group,  INOIR,  seonhee  aimed  to  make  a  company  that  protected  their  idols  from  toxic  fan  culture  as  well  as  toxic  company  environments.  despite  it  being  her  most  vocal  passion  since  leaving  inoir  in  1998  and  through  the  founding  of  gemini  inc.,  seonhee  wouldn’t  go  on  to  establish  her  own  company  until  2007.  even  in  2007,  after  the  establishment  of  solaria,  the  company  mainly  focused  on  buying  contracts  from  pre-existing  groups  and  revamping  their  public  images  and  freedom  as  artists.  girl  group  RIVETING,  which  debuted  in  1998,  had  their  contract  bought  out  by  solaria  garden  in  2007  and  became  the  first  artists  under  the  company.  because  of  the  standard  solaria  gardens  exhibited,  they  started  to  be  known  as  “the  group  savior."  a  few  months  later,  they  acquired  the  contracts  of  the  once-boy  group  MUNDANE,  who  originally  debuted  in  2005.  solaria  gardens  went  on  to  reunite  the  full  group  for  a  one-off  album  and  individually  signed  all  the  previous  members  of  maturity.

the  company's  first  group  was  ET/DEUX,  which  was  a  female  duo,  both  of  whom  trained  with  gemini  for  three  years  before  being  signed  specifically  to  solaria.  this  began  the  elusive  solaria  training  program,  which  has  often  been  labeled  as  elitist  by  the  press.  in  2009,  solaria  only  had  3  original  groups,  and  with  the  help  of  ENTVISS  ceo  WILLIAM  KIM,  solaria  gardens  launched  a  trainee  program  called  PROJECT:  SOLEIL,  which  included  an  instagram  page  for  trainees  to  show  fans  their  progress  and  a  tv  program  that  showed  the  inside  of  the  solaria  training  program.  even  now,  their  training  is  focused  on  refining  the  skills  of  trainees  from  gemini  that  suit  the  solaria  gardens  image,  which  includes  perfecting  vocal  and  dance  skills  as  well  as  fitting  each  trainee  into  the  solaria  gardens  space  concept.  as  of  now,  the  company  has  gone  on  to  debut  every  solaria-specific  trainee. after  many  years  of  william  kim’s  involvement  in  solaria  gardens,  in  2011  it  was  announced  that  he  and  kang  seonhee  had  been  married  for  over  a  year  and  that  he’d  be  going  from  an  investor  in  the  company  to  a  co-owner  while  also  being  gemini’s  head  of  pr.  it  is  rumoured  by  any  news  outlets  and  business  insiders  that  william  has  always  been  the  brain  of  the  operations,  while  seonhee  is  the  heart,  which  is  evident  by  the  couple's  close-knit  relationship  with  all  of  their  artists.

other  than  the  obvious  gemini-level  talent  from  all  of  the  solaria  artists,  solaria  gardens  is  mostly  known  for  their  in-depth  company  lore,  which  intertwines  all  of  their  artists  into  a  bigger  picture  story  about  space  and  stars,  which  all  of  their  artists  promote.  quoted  by  seonhee,  " the  storytelling  isn’t  because  we  want  to  confuse  fans;  it’s  because  we  value  family  at  solaria,  and  the  story  really  brings  our  talent  together. "  for  seonhee,  the  family  dynamic  of  solaria  is  the  goal,  and  the  ceo  is  known  for  forcing  groups  to  go  on  hiatus  when  their  chemistry  dwindles.

blog revamp will be happening today

[solariaism]

I am Jewish. I am an anti-Zionist. I am always and forever pro-Palestine.

My grandmother was born in Palestine before Israel existed. My grandmother, who died less than a decade ago (in her 70s) was already older than the settler colonial state of Israel. Judaism exists without Zionism. Zionism goes against the Jewish religion. Zionism is white supremacy.

From the river to the sea Palestine WILL BE FREE

[solariaism]

what does a free palestine look like?

it looks like palestinians living freely in their homeland without fear of their homes being stolen, their children being kidnapped, their houses being bombed, their borders blockaded, their passports limited, their relatives unable to return to their own land, their produce and taxes and roads being controlled by a racist settler-colonialist entity, their livelihood and existence threatened by a genocidal occupation. it looks like full citizenship of their nation and freedom of movement and choice on their land. u know the basic human rights everyone in the world who is not under occupation has?

[solariaism]

1, 2, 3, 4

The ICJ acknowledging that what is happening to the Palestinian people is genocide is a step, but is nowhere NEAR enough without the call for ceasefire. Not to mention that what we are fighting for it not only a permanent ceasefire, but a FREE PALESTINE with removal of Israeli occupation. At the very least, the ICJ blocked Israel’s request to throw out this case and acknowledge the genocide.

Continue to be outspoken and to share resources that help the Palestinian people. Silence is complicity so please use your platforms to raise awareness! My pinned post has some Palestinian journalists, a book that talks about the history of Palestine, and some ways you can donate. But don’t rely on one tumblr post, seek this stuff out yourself too.

western hypocrisy. if you mourn the suffering of innocent children in Ukraine but don’t mourn the suffering of innocent children in Palestine, Yemen, Syria, etc. you need to self reflect. Deeply rooted hypocrisy and white supremacy.

[solariaism]

so when israel bombs innocent palestinians it’s all “ummm ahhh i don’t knowwwww it’s complicated!!!”, but when the yemeni forces are the only group to take action against israel by posing an economic threat to the rest of us it’s immediately air strikes on yemen. okay.
