Their newest comeback, and first one as OT5, called "Like You Better" has just dropped. Because fromis just left a pretty big agency and lost three members, I didn't really expect them to do as well on the charts initially. But to my surprise, they debuted on the MelOn chart at #67, and having the third highest listeners out of every 2025 girl group songs next to IVE. It's really a testament to how much fromis grew during and after Supersonic, and after leaving their past agency. I'm really proud of them FR, I hope they peak in the top five of every chart this time. The music shows are busy this time around so I'm not expecting too much wins. If you haven't tuned in yet, please listen to Like You Better!! it's so good. submitted by /u/yebinkek [link] [comments]

I started liking BTS in 2015, and the fandom wasn't even half as big as it is now. You can tell the difference, for example, between pre 2020 ARMY and post 2020 ARMY. Now, aespa's fandom (MY) is also getting bigger each day, and you can easily tell by the way fandom dynamics have changed drastically in a short period of time. Even last year the fandom was super different compared to now. And I'm not talking about fanwars or stuff like that, but more of "internal" fandom dynamics. For example, the way the fandom behaves or reacts to stuff the group does. And the so called "achievement" stans that inevitably crash with the core fanbase and internal fighting gets more annoying. Also, the increase in solo/akgae subfandoms. What cases of drastic fandom changes have you guys witnessed? How do you navigate interacting in fandom spaces when they change rapidly like this? Have you guys had to take a step back? Let's discuss fandoms affairs lol. submitted by /u/randomgirl852007 [link] [comments]

I want to start with the fact that I'm new to Reddit approx. 2 months old Reddit baby. I joined few Reddit communities but from what I see people generally speak about either new or popular groups and members. I listen to many Korean artists including other genres and often solo artists but I don't really see people talking about them. Probably because they are not that popular but still it would be nice to have a conversation about not mainstream but good artists. I don't use twitter or Instagram so I only focus on music and Reddit now. Do you think it's appropriate or worth it to post about solo artists or rappers here? Or maybe there are other Reddit communities that focus more about those type of music. Do you have any advice or suggestions? submitted by /u/TruthApprehensive304 [link] [comments]

Currently enjoying H2H’s comeback track “Style”, but felt there was something amiss. Couldn’t really put my finger on it until I rewatched “The Chase”, their debut song when it all came back to me… During their debut, one part of their performance that really made a surprise impression on me was the dance break - it was sang and performed by 2 members (Jiwoo & Juun), my initial impression seeing that was of “Wow, do they have 2 Main Dancers?” I thought it was unique and started to wonder maybe this group would have 2 of every positions, like 2 Main Vocals, 2 Main Rappers, maybe even 2 Centers (or even a group that had no Centers since the Center position promotes individualism). “This group would have a lot of "ships" sailing”, I thought. It was kind of a unique concept and it just made a lot of sense based on their group name alone. I had totally forgotten about that first impression after their individual positions were later announced during their debut showcase. But that's when it occurred to me - the No. 2 aka duo’s aka companionship. This group felt like it was marketed to promote 2-gethernes (togetherness), to promote pairings, having someone else always beside you, a companionship. A group with no individualism. That impression was what was missing in their comeback. The comeback felt more geared toward promoting individually more than 2 or the whole. Both the MV and stage performances had so many spots where instead of members sharing the stage together, certain members were taking turns to be background decorations to highlight someone else. Then I realized SM really missed the boat to capitalize on the name they gave this group: Hearts2Hearts. They could’ve marketed H2H as a pair but just promoted them more as certain individuals. Now the group are getting labeled with monikers of being an “and Friends” group aka “(insert member name) and Friends”, while also still having multiple controversies during their live stage performances of covering up members to promote another, the backlash got loud enough that SM had to modify the choreography during the group's first week of promotions. Not any kind of thing you want associated with a group named "Hearts2Hearts". My hope is that SM goes back to remember the roots of what makes them unique and focus on the group’s real concept, and that's a group that promotes 2-getherness and companionship. Support Carmen, Jiwoo, Yuha, Juun, Ana, Ian, Yeon. “Hearts 2 Hearts@, it’s literally in the name. submitted by /u/JcaHot [link] [comments]

and it's sad. I saw a screen grab on Twitter of a bad comment on weverse, invading the idol and fans' space. can we have a sensible conversation here? what's your thought? was it plagiarism? inspiration? ps: i don't want to spark a war here please submitted by /u/wipwipwipp [link] [comments]

May sound crazy for some people but yeah, this is what would i do. For example, at 3 pm vocal excercises, 5 pm dancing etc. And i would let them rest and not do extreme diets and i would pay respect to their needs. submitted by /u/stukimilo [link] [comments]

I know a lot of people are angry about a certain member of this group but musically speaking Famous seems like a very good debut song to me. I saw some people saying it feels unfinished or needed more vocals but I kinda liked a rap heavy song. I think it really worked in this song because of both male and female voices with female - male - female - male sequence. I liked the rap wasn't jarring or too heavy. There was a "coolness" factor to it. Annie surprised me with her voice, I like her tone, it's distinctive. Really enjoyed Woochan's part especially the guitar in his verse. Youngseo's tone is also really nice and went well with the song. Bailey co-choreographed the song as expected and I think it actually matched the "coolness" of the song tho I think it could have been a bit better. The only complaint is the outro should have been longer!! I was disappointed when the outro finished so quick, I wanted Bailey's dance break to be longer. I think this is a song which gets better with each listen. It's catchy. submitted by /u/DiMpLe_dolL003 [link] [comments]

Just wanted to post a follow-up to my original post on the Stray Kids DC show disaster because the story has now made local and national headlines and the way it's being handled by Nationals Park, Live Nation, and even some media outlets is beyond frustrating. To recap: the event ended early due to extreme heat and dangerous crowd conditions, with DC activating their Mass Casualty Taskforce and at least 6 hospitalizations confirmed. And yet, not a single apology or formal statement has been issued by either the venue or Live Nation. Major networks like ABC, NBC, and Fox5 have started covering the show. But many of them are glossing over the actual negligence that occurred. Some reports frame it as: “The Stray Kids members stopped the show twice and gave out their own water to fans.” Cool. But why did they have to do that? Because staff refused to do their jobs. What these headlines fail to mention is that fans were left baking in 100°F weather, many without access to water, and only received basic care because the performers demanded it. In an NBC4 report, Nationals Park claimed: Fans were allowed to bring two sealed water bottles There were water stations available Cooling centers and mist fans were accessible Water was distributed in the pit area This is incredibly misleading and thousands of testimonies disprove this. Nats Park says two sealed bottles were allowed per person. But per their own policy, it was one sealed bottle per person. And many fans weren’t allowed to bring anything in at all. Some were forced to throw out empty bottles or retractable umbrellas at security, despite prior claims they were allowed. There’s pictures of the entrant of the venue circulating showing hundreds of empty water bottles from fans who were forced to leave them behind upon entering. Water was not properly distributed until Chan stopped the show and explicitly asked staff to do so. Even then, it was limited ran out often, especially at front of the pit where people were fainting. These “cooling centres” were rooms that could fit maybe 100 people. For a crowd of nearly 40,000. They were not accessible unless you were already in medical distress, and were located far from the floor where most issues occurred. Staff only directed people there if asked There were a couple of water refill containers, but some fans reported them being shut down an hour before the show. Water wasn’t cold. And again fans had to toss their empty water bottles at the door, so how were they supposed to fill them? Mist Fans apparently existed. On the second deck. Behind the stage. Inaccessible to the floor and pit. Who is that helping? Even some of the articles that quote the venue’s response include conflicting fan testimony directly beneath it. So are we just pretending none of that happened? Some fans, especially VIPs who paid $400+, were locked out of soundcheck or left stranded in the sun. They’ve contacted Live Nation, the venue, and customer service desks with zero response. Now people are mass-emailing journalists and local news outlets to get more attention on this and give their testimonies. But that doesn’t excuse the total radio silence from the people responsible. You can’t control the weather. You can control the show. At the end of the day, the issue is that JYPE, Nationals Park and Live Nation chose to proceed with a show under unsafe conditions with: No effective water plan Inconsistent security Little to no communication between staff and fans No adequate preparedness for the scale of the event If this doesn't prove gross negligence by these big companies, I don’t know what does. If you were at the show, keep sharing your stories. And keep pushing. Y’all deserve better. submitted by /u/not_Hades365 [link] [comments]

HYBE is really doing well to make the girls reach higher. Also the public is yearning for western style international girl group since the disbandment of 5th Harmony and Little Mix. Since they are from the biggest label in K-POP, no wonder how good and catchy songs they will have but their talent and personality also pushed them higher. submitted by /u/leonardreignn [link] [comments]

I used to be a fan of STAYC and get excited by new comebacks but I feel letdown recently. I think their label hasn’t been supportive and the new releases have been underwhelming past BUBBLE. Do you agree and what other recent band fits that conversation? submitted by /u/Heart-Shopper [link] [comments]

I‘m sorry but it gets to a point. Yes some of us are toxic, yes some of us are unbearable, but isn‘t that the same with every fandom? Why is it that everything ARMY does is getting overanalyzed to the point where it‘s getting ridiculous. I sometimes feel like people want us to overreact and act toxic so that they can point their fingers at us. And if we don‘t act that way then they are claiming that we are "overcompensting" or are "faking" our behaviour, it really is insane. Anyway, love you all but that shit is pissing me off… submitted by /u/Physical_End_537 [link] [comments]

Personally I think this version of Easy sounds soooo much mellow and soft compared to the studio version. submitted by /u/dim-mak-ufo [link] [comments]

I have seen a lot of people saying she looks like Jennie from blackpink but honestly I don't see it Jennie has round cheeks and baby face while rumi has more angled face I think she looks just like karina from aespa submitted by /u/Delicious_Ride_1843 [link] [comments]
