Could K-Pop Groups Take Over the Super Bowl Halftime Show?

None of my friends are into kpop and I keep wanting to say "it's like your jungkook. Embarassing!" Im not even into bts (Side note the rotted bloated corpse is not derogatory about anyone in particular tumblr users just like to post like this. The rotted bloating corpse could even be considered honorable, like strong as fuck ice mummy) submitted by /u/SomeRaceHorseName [link] [comments]

Similar vibe you know like it's sounds chill but groovy. So far the only song I got is the newest release Thriller by BADVILLAIN. Kindly let me know if there are other kpop songs similar to those 2. submitted by /u/StatisticianKind1285 [link] [comments]

This is not a hate post. in fact, it is quite the opposite. I am also not asking Blackpink to never make music again as a group, just that any new music after this should be a reunion, not a continuation. I am not a Blackpink fan nor do I like their music, but I think they undeniably hold an important position in kpop. They are iconic, and they have a legacy. Not many groups can claim to have been as influential or iconic as Blackpink. That is why it is of the upmost importance that they end on a good note to preserve their legacy. When I say "end on a good note", I don't mean their music. Yes, I do hope their last album is not bad, but Blackpink is so much more than just the music. K-Pop is so much more than just the music. We all have those shows we love that we think went on way too long and would have been better if they ended earlier. Those last few seasons were not even necessarily bad, they just were not the same. Blackpink fans deserve to have the end of this iconic infamous group and their favourite group be one where there is effort, where the members care and are passionate. That is what I mean when I say "end on a good note". This has already been talked about ad nauseum so I won't expand but it is clear the Blackpink members have so much more to them right now than just the group. they have evolved which is great but they no longer are just Blackpink, they have essentially outgrown their group in many ways. The thing is, this won't get any better. It will only continue over time. Every new release from now on, the members will be further separated from the group as they all keep pursuing their individual careers. We complain that they don't care now, but they likely care more now then they will at any future point. This is why, out of respect to the fans and even themselves, the group should end after this upcoming album. This legendary group deserves to end at a point where the group is still recognizable as the group, as much as possible. Once they start doing reunions and stop having to have the pressure of a normal group comeback as well as having to meet certain expectations musically, I actually think their future music will improve. submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

Im not black so my opinion can be changed based on what black fans feel, and I’m genuinely curious if anyone else felt uncomfortable watching the teaser? Objectively I disliked the sound and felt like it was another ‘Kpop idol cosplaying as a black person’ situation, but someone else said it’s simply hip hop and that it’s fine. Just curious on your thoughts/opinions on the teaser. submitted by /u/Definitelynotacatx [link] [comments]

Note & Disclaimer: Please do not interpret this post as unconditionally defending companies or turning a blind eye to the exploitation of idols. No company is perfect, and there are certainly real cases of mistakes, unfair contracts, and exploitation that deserve criticism and do occur. The central criticism here is not aimed at the pursuit of justice itself, but at the hypocritical and baseless approach within that pursuit. My goals are: Highlighting the Big/Small Double Standard: To emphasize the injustice of systematically ignoring major, proven scandals of large companies while lynching small companies based on a single video. Emphasizing Evidence and Context: To warn against the danger of judging and condemning based on emotional and contextless social media clips rather than court rulings or long-term evidence. Pointing the Direction of Harm: To show that the primary victims of this fake activism are the idols and groups themselves—those who may be content with their contracts and are chasing their dreams—who end up getting hurt. True activism always requires evidence, context, and consistency. This post was written not to criticize real activism, but to expose its counterfeit version. Content: Hello Friends. We need to talk about an increasingly toxic trend in K-Pop fan culture: "Activist" fans who remain silent about large companies with proven, major scandals are simultaneously trying to end the careers of rookie groups from small companies based on a single out-of-context video. This is no longer about criticism; it's a power trip and a digital lynching culture. And the most disgusting part is that this power is wielded against the most vulnerable. The Anatomy of Hypocrisy: The Big Fish Get Away: Think about it: A company like YG Entertainment, whose founders and artists have been involved in proven crimes like drugs, sex scandals, and gambling, facing serious legal proceedings. Did this company's album sales drop? Did its fanbase decrease? Did international fans launch a meaningful boycott? No. On the contrary, these groups still top the charts, and fans excuse it by saying "we separate the artist from the company." Small fish get eaten: However, when it comes to a small company like Attrakt, which formed the first hit group, or a small agency like A2Z Ent with the Fifty Fifty group or the newly launched ReSCENE group, the rules change. For these companies, an unproven, context-free, 15-second TikTok video suddenly becomes CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE. A boycott army is immediately assembled, narratives like "shut down the company" and "disband the group" are spread. The motivation here is not justice; it's a need to exert power over the powerless and feel "virtuous." The ReSCENE Example: Can a Career Be Jeopardized Over One Video? ReSCENE is not Attrakt's group. But the same fake activism machine has targeted them. An out-of-context, unclear video was reason enough to lynching the group and their manager. This is a rookie group that just debuted, chasing their dreams. This lynching campaign could be their end. Why Is This So Problematic? · Power Imbalance: Big companies have money, lawyers, and PR power. A small company might not survive such a smear campaign. This is the definition of bullying the weak. · Unfairness: Those who commit proven crimes are rewarded, while those whose only crime is being small and vulnerable are punished. · Avoidance of Responsibility: Instead of confronting large, uncomfortable scandals, they choose the easy way out by finding a small target to make themselves feel "good." Conclusion: What is Real Activism? Real activism; · Requires evidence. · Seeks context. · Demands consistency. (You call out everyone who is truly bad, not just the easy targets.) · Its purpose is actual justice, not just feeling dramatic on your social media profile. Please, let's put an end to this hypocrisy. The next time you see a "scandal" video, ask yourself: "Would I share this with the same outrage if it were about a group from a big company?" If the answer is no, please don't share it. The dreams of groups like ReSCENE should not pay the price for you choosing outrage over seeking the truth. What are your thoughts on this? Do you also notice this hypocrisy? submitted by /u/GooseSignificant8293 [link] [comments]

Aespa performed “Rich Man” on Good Morning America a few days. So far, the video has over 1 million views on YouTube, and it seems 90% of the comments are in Korean. I know the consensus is that their performance left a lot to be desired, so it’s understandable that most of the comments are critical. It’s just surprising to see more engagement from Koreans than international fans on an American morning show performance. submitted by /u/skairym [link] [comments]
