CRAXY - STUPIDZ + CRAZY RACER @ KFN Consolation Train - 2025 Ground Forces Festival (250928)

Technically, it's very difficult to find Kpop albums with multiple hits because most álbums has 1 title, without promotional singles,. Hence it's difficult to find albums with more than one truth hit song, as Teenage Dream, for instance. However the repackaged álbumn of Oh! by SNSD has 4 hits as not only Oh! and Run Devil Run are part of it, but Genie and Gee are part of the album too. What other albums are filled with hits in Kpop? submitted by /u/taeyang31 [link] [comments]

I had this thought where when companies, especially Big 4, choose to fight hard to renew their artists, or give really favorable terms to keep their artists under the company, even when they are not exactly making the biggest money anymore, is because of the impact of them leaving will damage the company's reputation and reduces trust from shareholders. Since Itzy all renewed their group and solo contracts with JYPE, I imagine that their renewal terms must be very favorable. They are not in the red, but are far from the top earners in JYPE and are not as young as NMIXX is, but their image as a part of JYPE with hits such as "WANNABE" and "DALLA DALLA" is irreplaceable and them leaving would send a message to shareholders that the company has a hard time retaining their IP due to bad decision-making, hence the renewal. Same goes for TWICE, them, along with Stray Kids are the top 2 earners in JYPE, but I don't imagine the company receiving the majority of profits from them as both are already in their second contracts, but the damage to the company image would be substantial if any of them leaves JYPE, even just for their solo contracts. Even conglomerates as big as HYBE, with many sublabels, has trouble with their company image due to the NewJeans issue, and as successful as they are, they're not the faces of HYBE. I don't think BTS will ever leave HYBE, but if it happens, even if it's just a member not renewing his solo contract, I think the damage will be extremely big, so it's probably more favorable to give BTS anything they want for both their solo and group contracts, even if it does not lead to more profits for HYBE. I also can't imagine YG getting a good share of profits from Blackpink's group activities, but they definitely fought hard to keep Blackpink's group IP under them, again, because of how iconic they are to the company. As for the solo contracts, Blackpink members are way too big and ambitious on their own so whatever YG offers in terms of career development will not be good enough. The only agency in the Big 4 that does not have this issue, or at least is confident that their company image or management will not be shaken by loss of IP is SM, but they seem to be the only company that pushes company identity much more with the whole SMTown thing. Even then, they still fight quite hard for the group IPs for Red Velvet and SNSD, despite mismanagement complaints. They likely still gave very favorable terms for their biggest solo names such as Yoona and Taeyeon, that they're willing to renew despite the company's shortcomings. Outside of the Big 4, an example I could think of is CUBE and i-dle, and as their biggest IP, the renewal terms must be extremely favorable that i-dle is willing to stay under them. What do you think? How valuable do you think an artist's IP is to the company? submitted by /u/GaurdsGuards [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! I’m a K-pop fan and developer who built a small Chrome extension called K-Pop Romanizer. I wanted to share it here in case any of you find it helpful (I know self-promo is limited, so I appreciate your time). What it does • Converts Korean lyrics / sentences into English-style romanization so you can sing along more easily • New: TTS (Text-to-Speech) support — listen to the Korean text with pronunciation • Pop-up UI, right-click “Romanize Korean” option, drag-to-highlight → romanize feature • Works locally in your browser — no data is collected or shared • Usable on any webpage through Chrome, so you can romanize Korean text wherever you browse Why I made it / use case As fans, many of us struggle with Korean pronunciation when singing along. This tool bridges that gap. Whether you’re learning Korean, practicing pronunciation, or just want to sing your favorite songs more accurately, this might help. How to try it You can install it from the Chrome Web Store here: K-Pop Romanizer — [Chrome Web Store link] (Screenshots & demo are in the store page.) If anyone wants feedback, suggestions, or finds a bug, I’d love to hear from you! 💬 Thanks for checking it out. submitted by /u/Express-Culture835 [link] [comments]

Like when a random song from them plays and you can immediately be like: "Ahh, it's that groups song" because you can recognise each and every members voice. I think it also depends if you've listened to them long enough and how well you know the group enough that you can separate the voices in your head. I grew up mostly hearing third gen groups so here's mine: Blackpink BTS Gfriend GOT7 Idle Kard Mamamoo Monsta X Nmixx Seventeen SF9 Stray Kids Twice Honorouble mentions (members voices I can immediately recognise in a song): AB6IX - Daehwi Ateez - Jongho, Hongjoong and Mingi Babymonster: I don't know the members very well but I can just tell if it's their song playing by just listening to any of the vocalists Bigbang - G-dragon Cravity - Seongmin and Woobin Everglow - Mia Girls Generation - Taeyeon NCT - Haechan and Mark ONF - MK Pentagon - Hui Purple Kiss - Swan Red Velvet - Wendy and sometimes Seulgi SHINee - Jonghyun StayC - Sieun and J TXT - Taehyun submitted by /u/MelonUniverse [link] [comments]

Like just because he's shit asf doesn't mean the boys will be too. They're seriously talented and their voice sounds so good than some of these autotune warriors. Like y'all their rapping and singing skills blew me away. Like why are some people already praying on their downfalls like hello?!??!? I feel bad for them but let's see What's your guy's opinion on this? submitted by /u/snowywinter3 [link] [comments]

Every few days or weeks I can see that there will be a recurring theme of how-all-important-Korean-popularity aka general public is for kpop. And almost most of the discussion and comments will dismiss any international success as if without Korean success, the international success is deemed ‘lower class’ or ‘unimportant’ or something to be dismissed/looked down upon. Now, we do have people on Reddit who on the other hand go towards the other extreme and think Korean success is not important but more than not - the posts are usually more of Korean success. Like X is getting bazillions of streams on MeloN - X is more successful than Y who actually got bazillions of streams on Youtube Music and Spotify but only have like 100k streams on Melon. Y is more successful than Z because Y is household name in Korea that even a great grandmother on the street in Korea knows who Y is but Z who has 10 million more followers thab Y on social media like TikTok and IG is not successful because no random taxi driver in Korea knows who Z is. You get the gist. Competition is one thing (because of the endless comparison and kpop made it into fine sport which is already a norm and I accept it as what it is), but looking down on groups who are not as successful as their peers in Korea is plain weird to me. Now, seeing that a lot of Reddit kpop fans seem to think Korean success is much more important than other types of success, I am interested in why you guys seem to think so. For me, success in ANY form is equally important for kpop groups survival. Be it international success, Asian success, Korean success, all around everywhere success, all are equally important. That is why we have so many groups surviving and thriving past the 7-year kpop curse - because each group find their own niche in success to continue as a kpop idol. It does not have to be just one or another. It is always multifactorial to me. Lots of social media followers so lots of exposure and social media presence, lots of album sales which usually related to fans dedication which is related to concert sales, lots of concert attendance for merch sales and money, lots of festivals appearances for money and exposure, lots of music show wins to boost idols morals, lots of CFs for money and indirectly exposure, lots of streams for exposure and awards/music show wins, lots of MV views for exposure and to an extent money (unless company pay lots for ads which cancelled out the money from views). It is always a combination of any of those factors for success to me. To me personally there is no competition as to which success is more important. Everyone has to carve their own niche in this big pie of kpop success from those multiple types of factors I listed above. I do not feel international success is more important than Korean success and vice versa. It is just a different form of success. And before anyone harp about importance of MeloN - lets not forget MeloN is already losing its market dominance to Youtube Music and will contiously lose as Spotify Korea is catching up too in this short time it is introduced in Korea. Maybe in next few years MeloN is not as ‘prestigious’ as we would think anymore - unique listener or not if they lost their market cap. And lets not forget how dismissive kpop fans are towards ‘fandoms’ vs ‘gp’ like gp popularity is most important than fandom popularity eg a group with big sales is lesser than a group with big stream. Like those gp will buy the albums or go to concerts in the first place by shelling out hundreds to thousands of dollars? submitted by /u/Many-Ad-9007 [link] [comments]

i feel a bit silly making this post but i just want to express my feelings and if anyone could give me some advice. i’ve stanned bts since 2018, and have kept up with everything with them up until maybe this spring. i just graduated college and really haven’t had time to keep up with content and music. i haven’t even seriously streamed their music or watched their content in maybe a year. it all feels so exhausting. i tried to get back into them, but the fandom doesn’t feel like it used to be. i can’t deal with the same discourse and drama over and over again anymore. i never thought i would ever lose interest in bts. is this normal? i feel like a fake fan. i will always love them but i don’t really feel that connected to them anymore. this makes me feel so sad :( what do i do? submitted by /u/Ok-Signature-9433 [link] [comments]
