Albums not made for commercial success?-

Ew trump. I do not support any misogynistic, white nationalist, incel, hitler-like (esp. Musk), racists at all and neither does this sub and apparently neither does reddit as a site as a whole. He stands against everything Kpop stands for which is an art form from a formerly colonized people from a country that is rising up against colonialism and hatred. Anyone who comments anything negative to this, or tries to defend that orange guy will be banned permanently. Go somewhere else, we don't want your lower kind here.

Hey folks! Over in r/kpop we just posted a new special Town Hall that is focused only on the Flairs we use to help organize our posts based on content categories. Link to r/kpop's 'All About Flairs' Town Hall We included announcements for new flairs here on r/kpoppers and also on r/kpophelp. The following is the section relevant for this subreddit. NEW FLAIRS! Connect - This flair will be used for anything where fans are trying to socially connect with each other. Announcing new K-Pop subreddits or Discords, looking for mutual fans on social media, wanting to meet up at a concert, seeking fans in a region to form a dance group, networking for a fan project, announcing a K-Pop night at a club, etc. Research - Academic surveys related to K-Pop or fandom topics. We'll keep an eye on these new flairs to see if they create any confusion or need adjustments. Let us know if you have any thoughts, concerns, or questions! submitted by /u/alleybetwixt [link] [comments]

The message was that the girls don’t need to marry a rich man, and they are enough by themselves. The pressure to marry a rich dude is reductive of their characters and dismissive of their abilities. This was accentuated by the capitalistic nature of the American imagery, specifically american football (that’s a band, idk them tho) and NASCAR, as well as a bit of the “American dream” where Winter toiled as a mechanic. This was concluded and solidified in the rebellion in the end. The girls are themselves and can handle their shit, even a whole fucking revolution (the irony and timing of this imagery as an actual American is really fun too lmfao, but we’re not here for politics). I think it was actually very sophisticated and intentional. Like, I’m not trying to sound pretentious but I truly don’t think a lot of fans understood the context of the lyrics with the imagery. I think it was one of the better stories/ideas that AESPA has told/communicated in their music videos. And obviously, it’s camp. It’s so exaggerated and off the wall and intentionally too much, in order to communicate an idea. I think it was artfully done and I stand by it as a comeback. (Sonically, it’s not on my playlists, but neither are most of my favorite musicals and I rank this with them.) This really is an appreciation post, but I’m flairing it as a discussion because I want to know what people think of the song besides “it doesn’t sound as cool as their last comebacks” lol. I think there was a really interesting story here! submitted by /u/Radiant-Actuary2870 [link] [comments]

Rules: - any gender, generation and group is fine - if an idol wins twice, theyre just in the group twice. There’s a clone of them. They don’t have two roles - global group idols (I. E. Xg, Katseye) don’t count - dead/disbanded idols and survival show contestants count, as well as ai/digital idols - the comment with the most upvotes wins - roughly every 24 the next vote starts! - try to make the most cursed lineup anyone has ever seen Now, who will our leader be? submitted by /u/DaGayEnby [link] [comments]

I've never listened to OSTs before and I started listening to Red Velvet's individual OSTs and so far I think it's SM, who do you consder to be the GOAT when it comes to releasing OSTs? So far I think it's SM. submitted by /u/jdpm1991 [link] [comments]

As the title suggests. Doesn't have to be a concert you attended, could be a clip you saw online of a song being performed by an artist and you instantly fell in love. Even if it's a new song it works. Remember seeing a clip of Home Sweet Home being performed by GDragon in MAMA and that had quite an impact too. (This is TWICE performing "Gone" from an old album Between 1&2 in their TIF tour in Tokyo Dome.) submitted by /u/Late_Art9758 [link] [comments]

So I was reading about some spooky stuff in the K-pop world, and I realized a lot of idols have shared creepy experiences that sounds spooky and interesting to me so I thought why not share them with other kpop fans who are also a huge fan of horror like me! I'll share some stories shared by kpop idols themselves on various Variety shows and Talk shows, you can explore more about these incidents on internet if you want more details, hope you enjoy~ ● THE HAUNTED STAIRCASE OF OLD JYP BUILDING :- Jo Kwon, the leader of 2AM, once told a story related to JYP's old building that had a famous ghost roaming around the staircase.The spooky story comes down from the first generation of JYP artists who have met this ghost, including Rain. The "Ghost Boy" roams around the stairs of the basement that people have been known to stumble and fall on. In one horrifying incident, Jo Kwon had such a bad fall that Sunmi had to call an ambulance for him. Not only that but there was also a trainee who saw a ghost enter the company building and he was staring at the stairs and giggling. Jo Kwon apparently asked what he's laughing at and he said that he saw a little boy with his leg extended over the edge of the stairs. He also recalled that the location of the building used to be a cemetery. Once, on a Live, Twice's Nayeon, Jongyeon and Sana also talked about JYP's old building's weird phenomenon, where a lot of people in the company fell on the same place. ● THE YG ENTERTAINMENT GHOST :- In 2016, when BLACKPINK promoted "PLAYING WITH FIRE" and "STAY", Jisoo shared that she had a lot of ghost encounters. She recalled seeing a ghost in YG's practice room and dormitory, and Lisa also confirmed that she had encountered the same ghost as well. Jisoo said one time while she was in the shared walk-in closet (they had a mirror there), she saw a white hand among the clothes. She was dancing in front of the mirror when this happened. She got super scared and ran out of the room. Lisa said she once went to sleep, then heard banging on her wardrobe. She experienced sleep paralysis, then heard something laughing in her ear. When she regained movement, whatever it was, it was gone. She also shared that she went to see a psychic and she told her their closet was haunted and cautioned her to be careful AND the surprising part is this all happened before she had heard about Jisoo’s story about the closet. ● THE SM GHOST IN OVERALLS :- The story of SM's ghost started when Sunny once said in a program around 2012 that SM had a ghost wearing overalls but didn't get too much into it. Later, Johnny and Jaehyun shared that one time Johnny and Taeyong were training in the basement when suddenly, they heard the sound of a water bottle leaking. When they turned around, they saw that the water bottle was closed. And that's when Johnny and Jaehyun said that SM had a long history of rumors that there was a ghost in the basement. It is said that when trainees are being taught new choreographies, they sometimes encounter ghosts. Especially when they are practicing late at night, they hear the sound of walking footsteps even when there's no one there. But it seems that SM's ghost encounters have their advantages, Jaehyun said that if during a rehearsal they see a ghost, the song becomes very successful. THIS IS THE END! Hope you guys enjoyed reading this! If you’ve ever heard of or experienced something similar related to K-pop, feel free to share it in the comments...I’d love to read more of these spooky stories!~ submitted by /u/LunaVixen7 [link] [comments]

I’ve been wanting motivation to move more so I wanted to try and build a playlist for kpop songs that give me the right energy to want to dance. I got really hyperfocused on Outside by Enhypen. I just had days in a row where I kept it on a loop and that was my exercise for the day. 😅 but I also feel like Xikers are one of the top 5th gen dancers. If I could award them on their strongest skill as a team it would be their dance performance! So I added their studio practice of Iconic cause their dance energy is just so satisfying. I also added XG’s Undeafted. I found a talented dance team that did the choreo and their moves are so snappy and sharp. The way they spin and stop with precise control is unbelievable! 😍 Haha okay I’m just gushing, so anyways I am looking for more song recommendations with the same energy of these boss vibes that include strong choreography. 🫶🏻 submitted by /u/Sienna_jxs0909 [link] [comments]

https://www.tiktok.com/@iloveburgers66/video/7505514696062061846 For decades Hollywood was pushing propaganda into the heads of Asian women with racist stereotypes and hatred trying to convince people that Asian men weren't sexy. Now that people are recognizing some Asian men as what they truly are for being sexy all of a sudden this term Koreaboo comes out to shame women. It is a misogynistic, orientalist and racist term because nobody ever made the same term Hollywoodaboo or America boo in an effort to shame minorities for being obsessed with American culture like cowboys or hillbillys but suddenly it's okay for people to do that with Korea? I've seen so many videos of women expressing that they are starting to love asian men due to media representation and yet somehow they are always shamed for it? I noticed especially alot of Indian and White men are the main ones putting up these misogynistic comments and it begs the question as to why Korea gets singled out? Especially where there are so many American media pieces that put down minorities, black people, asian people etc. why is it that Korea gets singled out? And don't give me that bull about it being the industry since the american media industry is just as toxic case in point with harvey weinstein. submitted by /u/Kpop_Love_Forever [link] [comments]

Recently when Ateez got two Hot100 entries back to back, I expected them to enter Melon or some other Korean chart at a relatively high position as a result of that achievement and the headlines. But neither the first nor the second time did their title track get a significant boost. In the very least I expected an entry within Melon top100 or Circle digital chart. Similarly, when Stray Kids, who are considered the top group in 4th gen, had their first #1 on BB200, and then few comebacks later also got first Hot100 entry, I expected that to boost their performance in SK, even more so than I expected it for Ateez, since they have a bigger fandom in SK as a whole. Again, that did not happen. Later they also managed to get most consecutive #1s on BB200 and I thought that would for sure give them a high Melon entry or something, since it's an entirely new record, but it again barely resulted in a boost. Before them Twice also had many new milestones such as The Feels and Moonlight Sunrise debuting on Hot100, but again both songs didn't see any real boost in SK charts. They are the only two 4th gen boy groups to chart on Hot100 which is a big deal so I expected that would result in a natural boost as a result of all the headlines and hype, and Twice is already known in SK so I had similar expectations. Do you think there is a correlation between those two things and do markets influence each other, or is everything almost entirely insular? submitted by /u/oddv8gue [link] [comments]

i'm in my mid 20s, i always felt kinda ashamed about still being a kpop fan even after i began my 20s like you really can't find better things to do in your life? but i just realised that it's so much better to like it now like i have money to actually buy and supports my ults, you can go to concerts in other countries if they don't go to your country, you don't care or engage with the fanwars anymore, and so much more but you really start to get the idols like as much as i love some groups sometimes i wish they'd leave the company because this is unfair for them you want the best for them you're just enjoying the music and content in your free time without stressing about keeping up with everything also the fact that it encouraged me to learn the language which is helping with my career and future young kpop fans trying to shame adults for liking it or even non fans making it feel like kpop is for teenagers is just so weird, it's literally music...

ONEUS members mentioned that the ghost likes to play with the lights in the bathroom. The ghost frequently referred to as ghost Minji, has been heard in the recording room when the sudden sound of a bang startled everyone. When the producers left the room to investigate where the sound was coming from, they were shocked to find that all the lights had been turned off and all the doors were locked. Ghost Minji was also caught during Mamamoo's Moonbyul and Solar's live as well. When the two were talking, a strange voice suddenly interrupted. Both of them were extremely terrified. Moonbyul even shouted, "Who's there?" But no one answered. Seems like I made it too long to read, but it's really interesting for people who are really into horror stuff...ALSO If you have some spooky stories, share them in the comments, I'd lovee to read them!~🩷 submitted by /u/LunaVixen7 [link] [comments]
