Anyone have a kpop discussion discord I could join?

My unpopular opinion is that in the world of KPOP there are several categories (it doesn't bother me in itself) but there is one that bothers me is that of "ALL-ROUNDER". Because I can understand that some idols are put in the "ACE" category but not in that of "ALL-ROUNDER". Already someone called ALL-ROUNDER (AR) is a person capable of doing everything perfectly (up to composing his own sounds). And an ACE (AE) that may seem similar at first glance does not have this category includes everything except the artistic part of the artist which can be a bonus. But why do I say that? I understand that many people will not agree but in fact it is simply disappointing to see artists with much more talents than the average idols being compared with others much lower. Examples of people that people qualify as AR when they are not: Karina (Aespa) was considered for a very long time (and for some she still is) as an ALL-ROUNDER except that she doesn't really have artistic creativity. Jennie (BP) also except that she co-writes her sounds but it still does not fall into the AR category. Same for Lisa (BP) but she is not good enough as a singer or even composer to be considered an AR. For men there is Kai (Exo) despite the fact that he is gifted in many things does not take away the fact that he is not artistically involved in the creation of his music. Or Jackson (Got7) his composition is very limited. But despite the fact that they are not ALL-ROUNDER does not mean that they are less gifted on the contrary we could very easily qualify them as ACE because artistic involvement is not mandatory. So the real problem in my opinion comes from the fact that we put our artists (which I mentioned above) on the side of people like Han Jisung (Stray Kids), J-hope (BTS), Soyeon (Idle) or even Hwasa de (Mamamoo). These artists are ALL-ROUNDER is from far away. Except that fans like to compare them to people who do not have all the competence to be AR (They put a little all the idols who know how to rap, sing and dance in this category when it should not be the case). And most of the time they choose idols not related to their popularity or even their beauty like Soyeon and Jennie or Hwasa and Lisa. All idols have talents I don't say the opposite but I'm just saying that some don't have enough talent to be considered an ALL-ROUNDER. Otherwise it may give a little scandals because some people are not up to par because they are considered as ALL-ROUNDER (like Jennie at the time). submitted by /u/Alternative_Set_5575 [link] [comments]

Has anyone ever felt Deja Vu when hearing "Lucky Girl Syndrome"? My sister felt it too, like we might have heard the first piece of the song somewhere. Does someone have any idea about it? submitted by /u/FlopffyGrape [link] [comments]

There needs to stop being so much hate on a male idol making a dance more masculine. First off they could have been taught that way and secondly they might not feel comfortable dancing more feminine. Yes there are male idols that are very comfortable dancing that way, such as Changbin, but not everyone is. Why did Jay get hate for dancing with Katseye, it makes no sense. In the grand scheme it not not a big deal, just as if a female idol feminizes a boy group dance. Just let people dance how they want to. Dance challenges are supposed to be fun and not about if they do a dance perfectly or the way you want them to. submitted by /u/ExoticResident7359 [link] [comments]

I didn’t really know what to put as a flair for this but it’s basically a story. I’ve liked a K-pop group for some time now. Before I even knew who they were, I knew their songs and enjoyed them, and after some time, I really got to know that their music is very much my style. I was scared that my mom would hate me for liking a group, but I managed to get tickets to a concert and she said nothing about it. In fact, she actually seemed somewhat interested in who they were, so I would talk about them periodically. Somehow, this one time, when I just show her some funny video of one of them being scared by a bug, she just burst. She was yelling about how much she despises men like that who “scream like little girls” when they see something (and they really just slightly jumped and stepped back). She told that she was keeping quiet because she believed I was someone who sxualizes idols and only likes their looks, when I had never even remotely said something that goes along with her description of my behavior. In fact, I’m very much against the sxualization of idols because, in the root of it all, they’re artists, and artists should be praised for their works. She also said that if a grown man acts cute on stage that it’s all fake and that if they act like that, they are p*dos because they are “attracting little kids on purpose”… Yes, I’m a minor and, no, I’m not saying my exact age, but I’m not one of those little 10 y/o kids who like to revolve their lives around K-pop. I don’t know why, but this really changed my perspective on my mom. Like, a lot… I thought she would ignore at worst but I didn’t expect a full on meltdown over an idol being scared of a bug. I absolutely can’t agree with her hasty generalizations on idols considering the precautions that idols make to be sure that they act appropriately for the age of fans. I tried to explain that I like their music very much and have liked it before I knew their faces, but she calls them shallow excuses that I should never make for men. I really don’t know what I should do at this point. I’m kind of scared to share what I like to her now. I’m sorry about how long this is.. I’m also very sorry if this is against the rules. I just wanted to dump my thoughts into this to fully digest what just happened to me. Added mild censorship just in case. submitted by /u/SupermarketOk9689 [link] [comments]

i'm not trying to be racist or anything and i understand that some kpop idols are actually that pale. but i was looking at videos of 2nd and 3rd gen performances and you could see their natural tan skin tone. i feel like nowadays everyone is so pale and it just doesn't feel right. kpop idols being their natural skin tones makes them feel like actual people and relate to us. it's all about being perfect and having the fairest skin now and its so meh. anyway submitted by /u/Then-Warning-9337 [link] [comments]

Kpop visuals often get unfairly criticized for lacking talent, so I'm curious - who are your favorite visuals that also happen to be great vocalists? They can be official or unofficial visuals. Please drop a performance video too and tell us what you like about their voice! It'd be great to discover some more vocalists, whether they're from the Big4 or from smaller companies :) Here are a couple that come to mind for me: Nmixx Sullyoon - Love the tone of her voice. So rich NCT WayV Xiaojun - This man sings with his whole heart. I feel like most people have already heard his Celine Dion Ashes cover, so here's another great cover. SM please give him an OST Xdinary Heroes Jooyeon - Apparently he's the first and only 4th gen male idol to win the 3 rounds of The Masked Singer and you can see why lol. He has such a powerful voice submitted by /u/rnbgal [link] [comments]

I would give my soul to get these designs under your skin! 😍 Anyone else have this album on repeat? Or just me whilst hyperfixating on these tattoo designs .... submitted by /u/emilyfaithtattoo [link] [comments]

Hi, so recently I’ve been seeing a lot of TikTok videos where K-pop fans are hating on groups for singing about things like money, magical girl concepts, etc. Examples include Allday being criticized for their song about being rich and famous, with people saying it's insensitive because others are struggling to find jobs. Another example is illit, who are being judged for having a magical girl concept, with some saying it's not "groundbreaking" enough. My question is: why are Western fans getting mad at K-pop groups for putting out this kind of music, but not at Western artists who do the same thing? Is it just me, or are we unfairly criticizing K-pop groups for singing about these topics? I’m honestly just confused. Personally, I don’t think it’s fair. I see K-pop on the same level as Western music—there are different genres and styles, and if you don’t like something, just don’t listen or comment. Don’t expect them to change just to fit your taste. Example like Drake and Taylor Swift are going to have different styles and I viewed it the same as groups like illit, Allday, TWICE, or BLACKPINK. No song is inherently bad—it all comes down to personal taste. For example, some people think “Gnarly” is bad, while others enjoy it. At the end of the day, it’s subjective. submitted by /u/whyx_notx [link] [comments]

wayv's new album teaser (today) xdinary heroes' junhan this week ALLDAY Tarzzan (right) yesterday you'd think companies, with so many trying to build fanbases in the west, would at least give it a rest for a bit after the KIOF live and general n-word train going around in March, but no, this week is another part of the never ending series of kpop companies/idols making themselves look foolish to black kpop fans, the general western public, and pretty much everyone who understands how this is disrespectful. submitted by /u/Interesting-Cycle381 [link] [comments]
