Curious about the obsession with Kpop Demon Hunters

When my wife and I found ourselves with a long layover in Seoul, South Korea in early April, we assumed that we knew enough about the phenomenon of Korean popular music to go see the girl group IVE perform its Third Fan Concert at the KSPO Dome, the capital city’s 15,000-capacity Olypmic gymnastics arena. We went into our crash course in K-pop curiosity expecting to find familiarity amid the inevitable differences. We left feeling bewildered and fascinated and alien, like unwitting impostors on the verge of being outed. At every step along the way, our evening at IVE’s Third Fan Concert in Seoul was a jarring reminder of the world’s vastness—of just how much we didn’t know. Read the full story here.

Idk if this is the right sub to post this so I apologise if it's the wrong one. I'm not a huge fan of Twice as I'm mostly a bg stan but they are my favourite girl group. I know all their mainstream songs and a some bsides. I'm not familiar with their solo songs tho(but if i decide to go to concert, I will definitely listen and learn the lyrics to their solo songs). I have always heard people saying Twice concert's are one of the best and everyone should go to a Twice concert once in their life. I only truly enjoy concerts when I know all the songs the artist will be performing. So i'm having a hard time deciding if i should go as there's only 2 months left. Pls help me out😭 submitted by /u/straykids_blucurtain [link] [comments]

I'm a casual Junny's listener. I really like his song "Invitation" and I got to know him through DIVE studio. Since I watch some of his content, it wasn’t unexpected to get his "Mmmmh" cover recommended by YouTube. To my surprise, he played a part in writing the lyrics and, dare I say, his cover beats the original! submitted by /u/Odd-Cat02 [link] [comments]
