Do you think someone who is not Korean would be accepted into a K-Pop group?

Hey folks! Over in r/kpop we just posted a new special Town Hall that is focused only on the Flairs we use to help organize our posts based on content categories. Link to r/kpop's 'All About Flairs' Town Hall We included announcements for new flairs here on r/kpoppers and also on r/kpophelp. The following is the section relevant for this subreddit. NEW FLAIRS! Connect - This flair will be used for anything where fans are trying to socially connect with each other. Announcing new K-Pop subreddits or Discords, looking for mutual fans on social media, wanting to meet up at a concert, seeking fans in a region to form a dance group, networking for a fan project, announcing a K-Pop night at a club, etc. Research - Academic surveys related to K-Pop or fandom topics. We'll keep an eye on these new flairs to see if they create any confusion or need adjustments. Let us know if you have any thoughts, concerns, or questions! submitted by /u/alleybetwixt [link] [comments]

The subreddit is mostly uncensored as long as people follow the rules. Generalizing statement about Korea, Korean society, etc or most other countries are not acceptable except under the following standards: The only claims that are acceptable when generalizing Korean society in this sub are those that bring up generalizable stastical claims by the standards of the international statistics institute. Not only do the vast majority of stastistics you can find on the internet about Korea not up to this minimum, basic standard but this requirement includes having ample sample size, blocking by relevant demographics and sometimes even double blind tests. So if you make a generalizing claim, your wording must be properly formatted and links to the relevant studies provided. In other words, the standard for making a generalization is very high in this sub. Not to mention the wording for your claim has to be properly made. Anyone who has taken a college level statistics class will know what I am talking about and we may even require you to provide the confidence level interval if it's relevant for your study. If you cannot meet these standards, I would just avoid doing it in general. submitted by /u/Kpop_Love_Forever [link] [comments]

Let’s just say i’ve met so many people who claim “chuu is so iconic.” But cant even point out the difference between her and Jessi. Or liking wonyoung cuz of the “wonyoungism” trend when you dont even know which group she is in. Its all basic stuff and i couldn’t care less but it’s frustrating when i was bullied for listening to kpop and now these idols are suddenly their “favourite” cuz they’re on the funny or trendy side of the internet. Like my culture is not your costume ugh submitted by /u/sakura_gems [link] [comments]

I have been wrapping my head around this question but I can't seem to find an answer. It does feel like kpop has hit a wall and I was curious as to what you guys think would need to occur for kpop to grow past it. Or maybe nothing actually has to change and it's just a matter of time? 🤷 submitted by /u/frikzzle [link] [comments]

I’ve seen a couple things that make me wonder about what the actual general opinion is surrounding this. Do you consider it offensive to cover a black artist? For me I think I firstly can’t judge (not black) but also that as long as it’s done respectfully and like one would any other artist (as in done irregardless of race), it’s fine. What do you think? submitted by /u/my_shroom [link] [comments]

For me, it’s “The 7th Sense” by NCT U. I think I’ve liked this song ever since it was released. I never really paid attention to the members until I started listening to more songs by NCT U and, sadly found out that it’s a rotating subunit (THAT UNIT HAS THE BEST SONGS). I remember watching the MV countless times, but I didn’t even bother to look up the members’ names back then. The synergy between Taeyong, Ten, Mark, Doyoung, and Jaehyun is incredible, especially considering they were rookies at the time. Their first steps in this effing industry. The vocals, the choreography, and the way they embraced the performance still amaze me. And last but not least, the lyrics are so deep. Btwc,422?;7’, Korean isn’t my first language, so I’ve only read translations (from different sources), but my impression has always been the same. The idea of a shared consciousness is fascinating — or at least that’s what I inferred from the translations. What about you? I’m curious 🧐 submitted by /u/AnnDalbit [link] [comments]
