K-pop Groups Stripped of Verified Check Marks on Twitter

Elon Musk's campaign to eliminate verified checkmarks has recently garnered significant media attention, with many individuals criticizing Twitter for its perceived unfair practices.

On April 20, Twitter made the decision to remove verified checkmarks from legitimate accounts, resulting in multiple K-pop groups losing their Verified Check Marks on the platform.

Elon Musk had initially set April 20 as the target date for removing verified checkmarks, but many did not take the idea seriously.

For years, Twitter's blue checkmarks were highly sought after, serving as the platform's official verification system to distinguish notable public figures from the general user base.

However, when Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion, numerous changes were made to the website, causing discontent among users.

Now, obtaining a verified checkmark requires a subscription to Twitter Blue, with prices set at $84 per year or $8 per month.

Other celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, Adele, Justin Timberlake, Kylie Jenner, Chris Brown, Drake, and numerous other artists have also lost their verified checkmarks as a result of these changes.

There is no calamity greater than lavish desires. There is no greater guilt than discontentment. And there is no greater disaster than greed. Elon Musk practices all 3.
