Other
>In a now-deleted post, GamerSupps stated that they were asked by the United States Secret Service to discontinue the LEAN flavor due to using Joe Biden's likeness on the packaging.

NOA Special Section
>Following the previously-mentioned announcement that Sayu Sincro//Nisity would be joining a corpo, a small agency, NOA Talent, updated their Youtube page to include "NOA RAEVEN PROJECT: KURO", a group consisting of a number of talents, most of which are formerly of black companies.
>NOA Talent, a subsidiary of Metishon (a large Chinese MCN), was founded in 2023.
>It should be noted that Metishon is also partnered with Bilibili, as well as being the MCN in charge of Kobo's channel on Bilibili.
>Previous reporting mistakenly connected AuroraLiveVR to Metishon, due to some confusion regarding a former AuroraLiveVR talent being on staff at NOA Talent. The staff member themselves appeared on /vt/ to clarify that the companies are not related, and alleged that the CEOs of the two companies (AuroraLiveVR and Metishon) "hate each other". They also clarified that the "leak" was due to a mishap while updating the Youtube page in preparation for an upcoming announcement. /news/ was able to confirm these as accurate accounts with the staff member independently.
>BriAtCookieBox, who was listed in the leak, has adamantly stated she does NOT intend to join any corpo for the forseeable future. However, /news/ was unable to get any clarification on this at time of writing.

If the thread goes down for any reason other than hitting bump limit, it will return between 6~9p ET.
