The HYBE X Game Caterers picnic 3 years ago was such a great show because it brought together (mostly) full groups from across HYBE to compete and play games against each other. It was such a good way to get fans to know about other groups. As a big fan of JYPE groups Twice, Itzy and NMIXX and casual fan of some of the other groups, I've been hoping and waiting for a JYPE edition of the show ever since. Not just to see my faves, but because it feels like there has been a decrease in the family camaraderie of "JYP Nation" after JYP reorganized the company into separate managing divisions. So it would be great to build some of that back via a company-wide picnic and seems like nearly all the groups are participating. Although, from the preview it seems like each group was limited to 4 members only, which is a severe bummer, especially since some of the top players apparently were not at the event. The show should show up on this Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@15ya_egg Game Caterer's final game is always Random Play Dance, where the idols have to dance the choreo for the kpop song that comes on. If they don't know it, they get eliminated. So I'm going to share my thoughts on which members of Twice, Itzy and NMIXX would do the best in the Random Play Dance. If you have thoughts on the other groups, post your thoughts in the comments! Note: I thought up most of this before I knew from the teaser that not all members would be attending. Member's attending this event are in Bold. TWICE - As a senior group, Twice doesn't do a lot of outside variety shows anymore so we haven't seen much from them in the past few years for kpop dances that are not their own other than dance challenges. In their younger days, Dahyun and Momo would be the ones that seemed to know the most dances but it's unclear whether they've kept up the interest at this point in their careers. Momo - always the most interested in dance and in past seemed to know a lot of song choreos. Reputation for ability to see and dance once and learn the choreo already. Mina - at their fan meeting last year, Twice had a random dance and surprisingly Mina seemed to know many of the recent songs. But she'd have to overcome her reticence. Dahyun - got into kpop from her love of dance and in early days seemed to know all the songs, but in recent years as she's focused on acting, she's seemed less connected to the kpop scene Jihyo - seems to have a lot of kpop connections but her interests outside her job don't seem centered around kpop. But she's done a bunch of challenges during her solo promotions. Nayeon - similar to Jihyo but probably more into the kpop scene as a hobby and has done lots of challenges during her two solo promotions. Tzuyu - she seems to like dance, and did a bunch of challenges during solo promotions Sana - huge amount of kpop connections but she usually chooses the simplified version during challenges Jeongyeon - had the past reputation of making the most mistakes in their own dances. Has many kpop friends but doesn't seem to be into dance for its own sake rather than her job. Chaeyoung - has stated she hates dance challenges because she can't learn them quickly. Seems like her personal music preferences are not kpop, so doesn't seem like she would do well. Who would do the best (if all members): Momo, Mina, Nayeon Of those attending: Nayeon might go the furthest but they all will likely get eliminated by midpoint. ITZY - The most dance-focused of JYP's korean girl groups, this group could dominate. Chaeryoung - nickname professor of dance, she seems to live and breathe kpop and dancing. always seems to know the latest dances and breaks into little choreo moves often when a lyric comes up. Often does Dance Livestreams where she shows deep knowledge of kpop dances old and new. Yeji - also seems to immerse herself in kpop, loves dance, does Dance Lives doing lots of old and new dances. Such a huge bummer that she wasn't there (apparently was at a fashion show trip) Ryujin - also seems to immerse herself in kpop, loves dance, does Dance Lives doing lots of old and new dances. Yuna - loves dance but at a level below the above. Hasn't done many/any dance lives. Lia - didn't have much dance background before becoming a trainee, focuses mostly on vocals and just dances enough to not negatively stand out. Low confidence she knows many dances. If full group: Chaeryoung, Yeji and Ryujin would advance far into the contest Attending: Chaeryoung will go the furthest with chance to win. Ryujin will also do well. NMIXX - although a vocal-focused group, they are no slouches in the dance realm either. Kyujin - absolute disaster that she will not be at this event. I would have picked her to win the whole thing. She absolutely loves to dance and loves kpop so much. She's young and seems the type of kid that learned all the dances for the heck of it and now she's a pro at it. She does long solo dance lives taking requests from viewers and she knows lots of them and if not she goes and watches the video for it and comes back and does the dance. Jiwoo - young and into got into kpop for the love of it. Haven't seen her do a dance live though. Haewon - doesn't seem like dance was her first passion but she's good at it and diligent. Her activity throughout the entertainment industry exposes her to a lot of other groups and dance challenges. Sullyoon - got into kpop for the love of it. She gets asked a lot to do dance challenges for her visuals but her dance is great too. She was a music show host so that also exposed her to a lot of dances and invites to do dance challenges. Lily - known for her vocals but is a good dancer also. But her outside interests seem centered around books and stuff outside kpop, so I don't think she is at home learning choreo just for fun. If full group: Kyujin by a huge landslide. I originally thought of this post to predict her as the winner so I'm devastated that she is not participating. Attending: Haewon or Sullyooon may go the furthest Predictions: Of these groups, Itzy will go the furthest in the Random Dance and, of the members I've listed, Chaeryoung would be my contender to win the whole thing. Stray Kids will also do well Xdinary Heroes will bow out early What do you think? Agree or disagree? Add in your thoughts for the boy groups, Niziu, etc. submitted by /u/hiroo916 [link] [comments]

sorry ik this has been posted a lot today but its my turn :> submitted by /u/Senior-Discussion328 [link] [comments]

Pretty much what the title says. It is so bizarre to me that JYP took this group of INCREDIBLY talented vocalists and decided to try to sell them on mix pop. I know they did this because of Aespa’s success with Next Level, but it’s so weird that they didn’t try to market them more towards a Red Velvet audience. Haewon and Lily’s Survivor cover went super viral for their vocals before their debut and they still went for this weird mix pop thing?? I know they do have a strong group of fans and are obviously doing great now; but i think this is just another example of JYP being so bad at marketing. i love Nmixx’s direction now and i do think their music is unique compared to most groups but its also PALATABLE. Their early stuff seemed like it was just for shock value and trying to one-up Aespa’s songs. Sorry for the rant but i needed to say something! I’m so glad Blue Valentine is doing so well. Hope they get a PAK!!! submitted by /u/meatstickgang [link] [comments]

I think I will always associate G-dragon with George Koizumi from Paradise Kiss. I also always see Silvermist from Tinkerbell whenever I look at Wonhee, I mean I've never seen someone with her exact hair! What character do you associate a kpop idol with? submitted by /u/0x1trinity [link] [comments]

Recently, at a breast cancer awareness event, invited guests included some of the most well-known figures in Korea and the K-pop world, such as members of popular boy and girl groups. However, both their expressions and performances were criticized for being disrespectful to the event, as they seemed to focus solely on personal promotion and comparison. submitted by /u/Plane_Sugar9499 [link] [comments]

There's currently lots of discourse going around this headline on social media for this accomplishment, specifically between Once's and Everlasting's. The posts that have been made captioned "Twice becomes the first girl group to reach a full ten years without a single member change" are being met with fearless Everlasting's calling them out for ignoring the fact that Brown Eyed Girls were in fact the first to do so. Once's are arguing that BEG were inactive for many years, so it doesn't really count. Despite the fact that many articles were published in 2016 discussing this Brown Eyed Girls accomplishment. What's your take on this whole fiasco? Honestly, I think we should give credit where credit is due. Yes, Beg were inactive, but that should not discount the fact that they were indeed the first. But also, this is a HUGE accomplishment for Twice, so there's no need to make it a matter of "firsts" because this is something to be very proud of no matter what. submitted by /u/0x1trinity [link] [comments]

i feel like the more albums they make, the worse they get. i hated ceremony, and their latest comebacks have felt less genuine and polished imo. I wish JYPE could give skz a break so they could work on making higher quality music and also resting… it feels like they have too much going on and they will burn out yk submitted by /u/Bean_of_prosperity [link] [comments]

these 20 albums are ranked in order on ryms website as the top k-pop albums of all time (user voted). what do you personally think is the greatest kpop album of all time? In my opinion, I'd probably agree and say max & match is 100% one of, if not the greatest of all time. if there were a kpop album hall of fame, max & match would definitely be there. submitted by /u/0x1trinity [link] [comments]

there's so many hilarious headlines out there, but my absolute favourite has to be this one of lim ji yeon. what headline sticks out to you when thinking of funny kpop news? submitted by /u/0x1trinity [link] [comments]
