Bigbang fans, how do you explain G-dragon's ot5 behavior?

With the popularity of Katseye and recently the groups from the Kpop Demon Hunters movie, a lot of official outlets (think news sites, charts accounts etc) have been referring to these groups as “K-pop”. I was thinking of this recently because I was in the K-pop ON! Spotify playlist looking for some recent songs I haven’t heard yet, and the songs from KPDH were filling the top 20 of the playlist. I guess I hadn’t really thought that they would ‘officially’ be considered kpop songs and be competing with other kpop groups in those spaces. These songs have also been surpassing milestones that were considered ‘Kpop’ milestones, for example I think Saja Boys became the “first kpop boy group” to reach #1 on US Spotify chart. I’m not 100% against it or anything, but I do think maybe this is the start of kpop being considered more mainstream in western cultures? I always assumed it would be the other way around, i.e. kpop songs being included in standard ‘Pop’ music spaces, not pop songs in kpop spaces. Does anyone else have any opinions on this?? Or do you think kpop is already considered mainstream in places like the US?? I’m interested to see how the cultural opinion of it will shift after the massive popularity KPDH & Katseye. submitted by /u/Successful_Key8662 [link] [comments]

There’s just something about Shin Ryujin that hits different. No matter how many times I watch her, she always leaves me in awe submitted by /u/MaestroAmoo_ [link] [comments]

I started listening to kpop in 2016 and really got into it around 2017. I remember /r/kpop being full of stuff about 2nd gen groups that seemed ancient, jokes about songs that seemed absolutely prehistoric to me... The recent fromis comeback dragged me back after a couple years of not really following kpop and I've been going on a nostalgia trip of my favourite groups and oh my god it's making me feel old. I realised SNSD's Gee came out 7 years before Red Flavor, the song that really got me into kpop... which came out 8 years ago. My ult group WJSN debuted nine years ago. Nine years before that SNSD debuted. I finally understand how you 2nd gen stans felt. submitted by /u/Nixon4Prez [link] [comments]

A little while ago, I shared a post in another space about how parasocial boundaries in Enhypen's fandom are being crossed, and how overprotectiveness and silencing honest opinions make this space harder to enjoy. One reply stuck with me: someone said they wished the word parasocial would be taken out of Kpop stans’ vocabulary altogether. I get that it can feel like a buzzword, but parasocial relationships are a well-established psychological concept describing one-sided emotional bonds fans develop with idols. In Kpop, where idols share so much online, through livestreams, variety shows, and personal social media, fans can feel like they really know the members. It's all about selling that image, after all. That’s why some fans get deeply hurt over rumors, or feel entitled to defend idols aggressively against any criticism, or act like they’re part of idols’ personal lives. When fans comment on private matters, speculate about relationships with staff, or react like family members, that’s parasocial dynamics in action. Trying to dismiss or erase the term doesn’t make the phenomenon go away. In fact, understanding parasocial relationships is crucial if we want to set healthier boundaries, avoid toxic fan behaviors, and keep fandom spaces welcoming. So yeah, the term parasocial isn’t going anywhere, and that’s a good thing. submitted by /u/Odd-Cat02 [link] [comments]

While doing things, I was listening to music, and suddenly a song I loved but hadn't heard in a while came on. I felt nostalgic and missed them. I watched all the shows that aired, rejoiced, and cried when the group formed; several of the ones I liked ended up in the group. And I guess, without realizing it, the memories flooded back, and a tear fell. I don't even watch these shows anymore; the last one I watched was the X1 formation show, and the group had barely debuted, but whatever. Those who lived through that era will surely remember the madness that was Wanna One. submitted by /u/Separate-Comedian-25 [link] [comments]

Does anyone have any idea for approximately when the kyeomshu photoshoot pictures are coming out?? Like im sorry im so impatient but carats have already had multiple heart attacks this week so we might as well have another one submitted by /u/cinnatostcrruunchh [link] [comments]

'Even if it’s embarrassing, If I spread it out, you’ll put it on' Maybe it's a translation issue, but it comes across as clunky and nonsensical. What does it mean? submitted by /u/CrimsonBlade2018 [link] [comments]

I dislike SM so much because they're so creative and unique but then they just fizzle out. Naevis is supposed to be an AI idol I think as far form what I know. When Naevis launched they were too reliant on generative ai for almost everything, when actual human artists can do a much better job. Even the song is so bad, lyrics total garbage. I wonder if Naevis was marketed like Miku would this change things? They also keep changing her features so that's annoying as heck. Just want to know your thoughts and would there be a market like this in Kpop if SM didn't suck. submitted by /u/TheLastPetal65 [link] [comments]

As the title says, my 4 year old loves k-pop and is obsessed with the song Fry’s Dream by AKMU. She doesn’t know the lyrics, she just kind of sings gibberish. Is her singing gibberish rude? Should I try to learn and then teach her the real lyrics?? This probably sounds like a crazy thing to ask, but we are a very white family and I don’t want us to seem rude or insensitive submitted by /u/ADangMoose [link] [comments]

Unpopular opinion - I know a lot of people think that SNEAKERS is bad song, but I think it's pretty good I like the melody and it's catchy. Well I wouldn't say it's like shocking or mind blowing type of song, but it isn't bad. I wouldn't say it's their worst song, that ruined their careers. Currently, to be honest, I would say I'm not a big fan of girls to be girls, it could've been better. WANNABE is their best song in my opinion and I hope they will do a similar song vibe like this, also Imaginary Friend is also their best songs. Anyways, SNEAKERS is a good song. Comment your thoughts below! BE NICE PLEASE! :D submitted by /u/SatisfactionAdept548 [link] [comments]

The hate for BTS is getting honestly disgusting. It makes me sick to see the all the dehumanizing stuff. Especially with what j-hope is getting right now because he attended a concert he was invited to, how is that normal? People calling him names, horse, even rapist. Really? And I cant even ignore it. Everywhere I go on social media, same comments, same fandom behind it.. What's even the point? Hate affects people. Idk how BTS deals with it.And yes, Army can be toxic to. But it's just saaaad submitted by /u/cLyNeSnOw [link] [comments]

I noticed recently that every big 4 (even though I don't really consider hybe big 4) had or has a group that really was considered the most popular or influential of that respective generation. For 1st gen, I'd say SM had the most influential and popular group, that being H.O.T. They were the first kpop group to really make it big in my opinion. They had a fanbase, good members and honestly talent. I still find myself going back to H.O.T songs often. For 2nd gen, it was YG, with BIGBANG. They really made 1st place for me in 2nd gen, and I'm not even a hardcore listener. I was listening to BANG BANG BANG on Just Dance with my brother before I even knew what kpop was. And to top it off with them having the first kpop lightstick. For 3rd gen, it's HYBE, with obviously BTS. Not a lot of explanation needed for this one. The moment I say I like kpop, a local will assume it's BTS. That's how worldwide they are! I'm a gg stan so I've actually never stanned bts, but somehow I know all the members and can tell them apart ☠️ For 4th gen, it's JYP. Again, I'm not a bg stan but I do know that Stray Kids is big. I like their sound and concept, but i do know that some people are still torn on who's 4th gen leader. I just know they really made it big in their generation. thats it lmao tell me what you think submitted by /u/zyannasdreams [link] [comments]

And it was so good!! Omg i didn't expect it to like it so much, bc honestly, as a 25 year old semi-casual listener i didn't really think I was the main target audience of the movie lmao but it was so much fun! It was very on the nose but in the best way possibe! Like the name is literally kpop demon hunters hahahahha the writers knew exactly what they were doing! I normally dont really care for hapyy sappy endings (example I LOOOVE avatar but i HATE the kataraXaang ending so much) but [SPOILER!!] i lowkey wished rumi and jinu ended up together 🥹 Also i nearly cried when they started singing This is what it sounds like together 🥹😭 Anywayss just wanted to share this hahaha Ooh edit to add: the only thing they really missed out on were fanchants! Bc that's how you really feel the power of fans! it would've been so cool if they incorporated that into the story or concert scenes! What did you guys think of the movie?? submitted by /u/thecatiswise [link] [comments]

The hate Blackpink is getting is honestly disgusting. Criticism is fine, but this has gone way beyond that. As a woman, it makes me sick to see the casual slut-shaming, name-calling, and all the dehumanizing stuff. And the hate they’re getting right now just because J-Hope went to their concert? How is that normal? People saying he was bored, forced, judging them, left because it was a mess… Really ? Jennie getting called all kinds of names over a video where she’s fixing her outfit. What’s even the point? Hate affects people. Idk how Blackpink deals with it… or maybe they just deleted social media atp. And I can’t even ignore it. Everywhere I go on social media, same comments, same fandoms behind it. Before anyone starts, yes, Blinks can be toxic too, people online are just getting meaner in general. It’s sad. submitted by /u/Frdmpm [link] [comments]
