After a year into K-pop, I found my twin (Same birthday and same year) in K-pop! Who's yours?

A Look Back at 2nd Gen’s Flower Boys 🌸 In 2007 Jang Keunsuk and Kim Heechul made history as the very first hosts of Inkigayo (The Music Trend). The Chocoball Club: Jang Keunsuk, Heechul, and Hongki were part of this eccentric circle of AB blood type celebrities—famous for being “cool, chaotic, and unpredictable.” Jaejoong openly admired Jang Keunsuk and admitted he was heavily influenced by him. Jaejoong, Jang Keunsuk, and Hongki each built strong fanbases and successful careers in Japan. In the early 2000s, they dominated Cyworld, Korea’s biggest social media platform, ranking among the most-followed celebrities. Beyond their looks, they all shared a deep love for rock music, plus a healthy dose of self-love and confidence. Heechul is the oldest of the group, while Hongki is the youngest. They all did acting projects. Keunsuk, Hongki, and Heechul all started as actors; Keunsuk and Hongki debuted as child actors. Heechul and Jaejoong once lived in the same dorm. They had a fight over a hamburger—and didn’t talk for months afterwards. submitted by /u/arcieghi [link] [comments]

For me it's Hwasa's Maria EP. It's hands down the best kpop EP I've ever heard. submitted by /u/why_ikkin [link] [comments]

A fearnot asked Chaewon to pose with the lesbian flag in NY and the amount of comments flaming OP for "forcing their beliefs on Chaewon" and especially "making her pose with a flag she probably doesn't know the meaning of" is flabbergasting.. Not only is this woman in the same group as Yunjin, who has historically openly shown support for the LGBTQ+ community, but also Chaewon is 25. 25 and living in the internet age, in South Korea of all places. I think she knows DAMN well what a lesbian is, and likely recognises what the flag looks like. If idols were just taking flags from fans that they didn't know the meaning of, we would probably see idols posing with more controversial flags more often , but that isn't happening because they are media trained and are (mostly) adults who have access to the internet. I know the response that the video got (not the 'forcing beliefs' comments cuz thats a whole other story) exist because Chaewon is an East Asian young woman and all the weirdos in the world scramble to baby and infantilise her just because of her race and their twisted perception on how conservative and fragile to the world that they are/should be. We've seen plenty idols pose with LGBTQ+ flags before, and if it was a celebrity from a different culture even, i doubt the response seen would be the same as it always is for Kpop idols. submitted by /u/midnightdancing12 [link] [comments]

I’ve always been a fan of the creative promotions and unique ideas that K-pop idols bring to everything they release. We all know that Aespa has a very strong and creative promotion and planning team—ever since the Supernova era! (for me) But this comeback they leveled up like 100 floors above everyone else in the industry when it comes to marketing and promotions. The variety of unique promotion tactics, the fresh but different social media content, the merchandise and album designs—the fonts, colors, and every detail—are all perfectly executed and truly stand out. Cinematic and thematic films, Layered and diverse teasers, lychee Rich Truck Campaign in Seoul, aespa WEEK RichMan pop-ups, rhythm game demos, and customize merch (these pop-up stores will also appear in Los Angeles, New York, and several Chinese cities—a global experiential rollout.) Rich Man is available in three primary versions: ENERGY, BURST, and RICH MAN BAG, each packed with different merch like photo cards, stickers, and bags. According to fandom wiki, there are 15 total physical versions when including sub-variants—indicating a highly collectible and fan-oriented strategy. And that's why the album racked up over 1.11 million pre-orders. All in all they are doing — Rich Man experimental pop-up stores, interactive digital showcases, and global offline activations (in Seoul, New York, LA, Beijing, etc), themed trucks, VR/AR showcases), instead of the usual press conference + showcase format. Other companies should really learn and evolve, as creativity often falls flat in the promotion and merchandise of most groups’ albums. World is evolving dawg and fans are paying their hard earned money on all these, try to be creative! I preordered the RichMan Album btw so I am excited, at least my money is paid off for some good work. submitted by /u/Daddy1007a [link] [comments]

Do Idols not have managers regarding their own accounts? Karina's political post and Chaewon's dog video are two major examples that have tainted their images quite a lot. Its crazy how idols from two major labels have fumbled with something so simple. submitted by /u/Decent-Depth-1423 [link] [comments]

I feel like in kpop idols in general have really toxic relationships with food, due to the pressures from the media, fans, and culture in general. I'm curios to know which idols in your favorite groups have the healthiest relationship with food? 1 would be the most and last would be the least healthy. submitted by /u/Sea-Republic8892 [link] [comments]

So yeah we a lot of us know about the theory where if Clark Kent participated in a Superman lookalike contest he wouldn't even win and since there have been some (embarassing) kpop lookalike contests that happened before, who are some K-pop idols that wouldnt score first place in their own lookalike contest? Honestly, Psy and JYP or some of the best candidates for this. A lot of K-pop idols have very recognizable faces and its easy to tell the difference between an actual K-pop idol and some normal guy pretending to be one. But then you have idols with lookalikes...like Minhyuk from BTOB who is basically a buff Soobin. I mean the resemblance is SOO uncanny especially from certain angles ngl. submitted by /u/KwonSoo-young [link] [comments]
