BTS weverse vs other fandoms weverse clutter

I’m good on age and everything, but now I just need companies that I will actually have a chance of getting into. I auditioned for Ador, FNC, Pledis, and Source music as a joke about 10 days ago and obviously haven’t got anything back. I don’t mind the size of the company. I just would like to know some that actually have a change of accepting black girls. Also, If there are any other black girls that are in the same position as me and would want to make a group chat on instagram to talk about it, we really should! My username is vividlylv ! I’ll make it and add anyone that wants to join submitted by /u/United_Basil_9216 [link] [comments]

I'll go first: BTS' Taehyung not knowing how a drive-thru works and Jimin having to teach him how to order at one. clip from Jimin and Jungkook's travel show: 이게 맞아?! (Are You Sure?!) For context, Taehyung was 27 here (turning 28). Though Koreans cannot get their driver's license until the age of 20, and being a celebrity and relying on personal drivers, I can see how he never really had the opportunity go through one by himself. submitted by /u/Lost-Opinion3554 [link] [comments]

By mainstream zeitgeist I mean omnipresence in the cultural mainstream, something I believe they did with their song Dynamite. I think everyone knows that they have a massive fandom and will obviously sell well but there's different types of fame in my opinion. Someone like Taylor Swift is a household name unlike any other artist at the moment. She is so visible that almost everyone, from her fans to her haters to people who don't care, know of her latest activities. She is talked about in sports circles, in politics circles, pop culture, music enthusiasts, critics etc. The only circle she doesn't get talked about much in is fashion circle. BTS during Dynamite were also everywhere. They had an intense western push. They were on the streaming sites, billboard charts, radio, Samsung TV ads, huge concert tours, even getting talked about in political spheres. BTS's new comeback is 10000% going to sell well. Their tour is going to be big, they likely will try to push a few singles hard too. But do we see a Dynamite being recreated, surpassed or will it be a fandom fare only? Do we see non-fans tuning in or will it only be the older fans who were waiting for them showing up for them? Will BTS gain new fans? Will the ARMY expand? submitted by /u/avrilsower [link] [comments]

It’s honestly creepy how this kind of behavior is becoming more and more normalized among sasaengs. First, one was reportedly waiting outside Jungkook’s house for 10 hours trying to get in right after he was discharged from the military—and she was only reported to the police by another sasaeng. Then came the situation with his cap, where the photo being spread was also taken by a sasaeng. Now, with reports of him being in the U.S., some of the first sources of that information were sasaeng airport photos—taken and circulated without his consent. Even now, while he’s just trying to live his life and engage in personal activities, images of him in the States are still being spread around by stalkers. Mind you, it’s only been one week since he was discharged. All of this has happened in that short span. It’s genuinely disturbing. I really hope he has a supportive, trustworthy team around him and has developed healthy coping strategies to handle this ongoing violation of his privacy. He’s spoken up about sasaengs before—specifically asking them to stop coming to his home—and clearly expressed his frustration. No one should have to live like this, and I truly hope this kind of behavior starts facing real repercussions, for the sake of his safety and peace. submitted by /u/kitty-minnie15 [link] [comments]

I’m making a PowerPoint based on this for a PowerPoint night with my friends. So far some of the iconic moments I can think of are: • BTS winning 32 music show wins (I believe without actually performing on a Korean music show). • GFriend’s 29 music show wins in 1 year with 2 songs (15 for Rough, 14 for Navillera, with Rough being their first song to get a win and is their most won). • Retroactive Wins (like NewJeans - Hype Boy, Woodz - Drowning) • Artists competing against themselves for first place (NewJeans - ETA vs Super Shy, NewJeans - Ditto vs OMG, IVE - Rebel Heart vs Attitude, IU - Love poem vs Blueming). Any other moments you can think of? submitted by /u/CaratdeuI [link] [comments]

I love how Hori7on/IZX Marcus didn’t hide his disbelief over it, coz there’s a lot of comments like that on his posts actually. Calling him their boyfriend or husband ( I just hope those who are calling him that is just around his age). There were even comments like ‘Marcus marry me’ LMAO. submitted by /u/Conscious-Cap-7250 [link] [comments]

I have a question for fans that also belongs to girl groups fandoms. I admit I don't belong to any girl group fandom and only know few popular songs, often I don't even know girls names but I wonder how fandoms operates in those groups. In boy groups rumors and scandals can be a daily thing and amount of saesangs, toxic solo fans, sexualisation of idols and expectations to do a livestream, answer questions, say stuff or do stuff for the fans is quite high. I wonder how it is in girl groups fandoms. Do you also see big levels of parasocial relationships and expectations from girl groups? Are scandals as intense and comments as negative if something will happen or fandoms are usually more calm? submitted by /u/TruthApprehensive304 [link] [comments]

Yep, Hollow, It's a side of SKZ that more people would know about if they took the opportunity to listen to the group. I love the melody of this song; it makes me feel melancholy and a certain magical aura. I also think many of us can relate to this to some extent: achieving things, missing nothing in your life, but still feeling an existential void. My favorite parts lyrically: "I've just kept running forward without paying any attention, Just as if something had drawn me up to this point, I've checked off so many on my bucket list, Somehow, I still can't be satisfied" "I've lately been feeling flat than sharp, With my style, I've built my career in a stack, Hall of Fame, it's still far away, Shinin' star, behind it, is all in black, Eyes that focus on the minus than plus, Isn't it repeating pointlessly? I feel deflated, Everything is painful" "I embrace everything and run, but why do I feel hollow? Loneliness haunts me no matter where I am, I'm alone, Is it because the more alone I am, the more I need love? Even if I force myself to satisfy, I'm so hollow." Is this song a reflection of how they feel about themselves at this point in their careers? It probably can't be easy living the life of an idol, constantly treated like a disposable commodity and feeling superficial. submitted by /u/Turiturita [link] [comments]

The only criticism I remember from Not Shy era was Chaer’s shorts, but looking back, those are the least atrocious piece of clothing in these shots 😭😭 submitted by /u/byuldongie [link] [comments]

Irene in TILT + these new fronis teasers... Is this THE new summer trend? Do you love or hate? I love it's so camp for me submitted by /u/underwater_111 [link] [comments]

People try to tip-toe around it but it makes it even worse. I was on tiktok today and a user made a video about Jeongyeon supposedly losing a couple of pounds. They zoomed into her body and everything, then they said “happy now, haters?”. Maybe I’m overreacting but that video made me feel so uneasy. Of course, there were a few comments saying her styling is what made her look like she gained a lot of weight and they aren’t doing her justice. To me, that’s a whole lot of bullshit. The girl gained a couple of pounds, so what? People act like idols (especially female idols) putting on weight is like a death sentence. She recovered from a herniated disk and the steroid medication made her gain weight. People are saying she has Cushing’s Syndrome which I mean, what the hell? She hasn’t shared that diagnosis ever. The first thing you see when you search up her name is weight loss/gain. It’s almost like her name is forever tied to that. You cannot watch a video of TWICE without some weirdo saying something about her body. To put it bluntly, she’s not skinny but she isn’t overweight either. It’s ok to be bigger than your team members, especially when you’ve went through a traumatic corrective procedure and are on medication for the foreseeable future. I wish people (especially ONCEs) had more compassion for her and how she’s putting so much effort into the group despite health issues. submitted by /u/iambunnycat [link] [comments]

hello kpop stan’s! i recently became the owner of a little booklet of what i assume are kpop stars. as i am a broke college student, i want to see if it’s possible to sell these little cards? what does everyone think? is it worth it to sell individual cards or sell the whole book? how much would you price this for?! thanks guys, let me know if you want to see a specific card! submitted by /u/indavagcomplex [link] [comments]

That’s exactly how I’m feeling about everything that’s currently going on in the Kpop industry. Because what do you mean Ju Haknyeon got kicked out of TBZ for his association with a former Japanese adult actress? submitted by /u/Sufficient_Effort118 [link] [comments]

https://youtu.be/F4qFzuCA9Po?si=BSvwfrz_YO3CwtFw Hollow the album is just released yesterday! First of all, the song reminds me of SKZ’s previous works like Laventer and Scars. And I can see how their Japanese musical motive is evolving from putting your whole life and effort for sucess in Scars and Social Path to obtaining your aim and embracing it in Circus to the aftermath of success in Hollow. It feels like a whole life story is being played out in SKZ Japanese discography. And I love it! I swear Chan and 3RACHA are polishing their writing and producing skill with the depth of the lyrics and song! If I would describe Hollow the song and the album it would be - Japanese-coded with SKZ-flair. The MV itself portrays the meaning of the song - their crystal heart they obtained with success breaking, making them feel empty - hollow as it is. I love the MV, one of their best Japanese MVs yet. And to tie all this - Hollow the song and the album is doing really well! The album sold 619,245 copies on its first day on Billboard Japan and copies on its first day on Oricon Japan, their best first day sales yet! I think they could get 1 million sales following Social Path (and Social Path is so beloved!). The song itself has over 6.48 million streams on its first week on Spotify and their highest stream so far is 1,567,993 streams yesterday. The album itself had over 2.7 million streams on its first day and all of its song entere Spotify Too Song Global Japan with Hollow at its highest at 23. And now the album is #1 on iTunes Europe and global. Overall, it is a crazy ride! We are still waiting for a Korean album but Hollow exceeds all expectation despite being a Japanese release. I would say it is my most favourite SKZ Japanese album. And Hollow and Parade are my top 2 favourites so far. Have a listen, Hollow may be a Japanese release but it is a great album. submitted by /u/Many-Ad-9007 [link] [comments]
