ARTMS - ARTMS talks about new beginnings in K-pop: "We had to let go of the old group" @ CNN Pop (250801) [ENG SUB]

Lets make a boy group and give some underrated Idols some more visibility, so here are a couple rules to follow :) And your Rapper is: Yechan of Xikers Only one member per group No members from a Big 3 group, Hybe, or Ateez (I love these groups I just want to see smaller groups get some recognition too!) Please only comment an Idol only once and upvote if you see the one you wanted to say! Please only one member per comment. Please comment member and group they are from. I will make a post around the same time everyday and voting will be open for about 24h. I changed up the image format a bit to hopefully help with remembering each members role! And Soul's image changed cause I forgot to grab the one off my work computer and thought this one was cute :) Day 4 time to pick your Center! submitted by /u/MegaGlaceon22 [link] [comments]

I see we have a 100 Days 100 Pics Challenge thread on here, but only for female idols… I thought maybe we could give a little love to the boys/men out there!~ Please comment any picture of male idols. The photo with the most upvotes wins! 💕 submitted by /u/cruelmemory [link] [comments]

In a recent interview, Chappell Roan coined the term “Demoitis”—a phenomenon where fans grow emotionally attached to the raw, early demo versions of a song and then struggle to embrace the final, polished release. It’s not necessarily that the studio version is objectively worse, but rather that listeners have already formed a deep personal connection with the earlier version. This made me think—what if something similar is happening in K-pop, not exactly with demos, but with eras, concepts, or genres? I’ve seen so many fans say that a group’s older songs or concepts were better. But what if it’s not really about the quality? What if fans are just attached to those old songs and eras because they were very sentimental to them? K-pop stans tend to be very emotionally attached to their groups. So when the group changes their sound, style, or concept, some fans might feel disconnected—not because the new stuff is bad, but because they miss the version of the group they first fell in love with. It’s kind of like Demoitis, but for eras and concepts. So maybe when fans say, “I liked their old stuff better,” it's not always about the music itself. Maybe it's more about holding on to something that felt special to them. submitted by /u/why_dmn [link] [comments]

At KCON LA, IVE was performing Rebel Heart when Yujin accidentally knocks Liz’s mic out of her hand. Cue the slow motion: “Nooooo…” 😂 Even more impressive than the mortified look insta-meme in Liz, Yujin, and Wonyoung’s faces was their composure and recovery to finish the song. True professionals at the top of their game. Great performance, and yes, the mics are live! submitted by /u/djmonstermo [link] [comments]

Most of my kpop friends have stopped liking kpop years ago because the groups didnt feel the same nowdays (to them). Every time I bring up the arguement that music has just evolved, they seem to not agree and end up listening to the same music from the 10s. I absolutely love girl groups today as I've become adjusted to their new styles. But, does it happen to other 2nd gen fans? Is it just a personal matter? Are there any other 2nd gen fans out there still adjusting to todays kpop? submitted by /u/momokox359 [link] [comments]

I have been watching boys planet 2 for a while now but I didn’t watch the first season so Idk it was the same or not But judging by every episode I can see some strictness and they’re a bit biased towards the k trainees that’s what I was thinking watching every episode . The way they were talking and correcting were too harsh they were demotivating them I saw a lot difference in judging the performances too Am I the only one who thought about that ? submitted by /u/foxystar34 [link] [comments]
