I’ll start. Manon from Katseye. She herself is fine. Beautiful. Talented. Funny and I enjoy her lives. Lara and the hoodie live rent free in my mind. Her fans annoy me simply bc they try to make her out as if she is a victim and baby her. submitted by /u/madness-infinite [link] [comments]

I didn’t know where to go about this issue but this must be said about this one kpop cover group on YouTube. I will not be saying names but I will provide the story of why this group is sketchy. A while ago, a member in the group, who we will call Amy and a member of another group who we will call Layla were both weren’t on not so good terms due to the behavior of Amy and her boyfriend, who was the ex boyfriend of Layla. Both of them were treating Layla so strangely by giving her dirty looks, shading her in every way, accusing her current boyfriend of stalking, etc. Layla decided to expose their true colors on her YouTube channel but faced heavy backlash due to her vulgar language and the anger expressed in the video. This is where we get the information of these two individuals. The main thing that she said was that the ex boyfriend followed her home as she was walking alone and attempted to grab her wrist in an aggressive way but missed. After the video released, many people started to shade her and be completely mean towards her (the girl was 15 at the time) but especially the whole kpop dance cover group. It also made is worst because the ex boyfriend is the editor and cameraman of the group. She soon took down the video and later apologized and begged on her story for them not to keep being rude towards her for speaking the truth. Amy soon responded and didn’t apologize for any of the things that happened yet blamed her for the situation. If you would like to know more or have questions please comment below and I’ll try my best to get answers. submitted by /u/Jazzlike_Quit_6433 [link] [comments]

Korea Daily That's the Google translation, but what a headline. Thanks for making me laugh again at business headlines. English version of full report is on YG's IR Disclosures page, the Report on Business Performance posted 2025.08.11. Babymonster and Treasure tours helped get them back to profitability. Blackpink's should help in latter half of the year. YG's net income is surprisingly low compared to peers, even through the previous 5 years. Blackpink is the biggest female group and their luxury deals are the most prominent in Kpop. Maybe Blackpink members themselves get a bigger cut of those? Or their other groups hadn't taken off as much, and there was no other girl group until Babymonster last year. I assumed its size, with solo members having the most followers on IG, would make up for shortfalls from the other groups. I wondered if their smaller catalog plays a role too for something like streams. Wikpedia says Blackpink has official 33 tracks, compared to 250 by Twice who debuted a year earlier. There's some 7 more tracks from the first solos Blackpink did for YG. Surprising how many more songs Twice has. But Kworb shows Twice actually has fewer streams compared to Blackpink. Something I am curious about is how much non-music revenue they make. YG doesn't release any breakdown or presentation. Merchandise, fanclub, and ads help Hybe balance out falling revenue from recorded music. I think the random businesses/investments they did since 2014 hurt profit too: indoor golf, food, dance, Nonagon clothes. (I'll post more, not too complex, Kpoppers.) Latest quarter results of the Big 4: Report shows YG's net income of 8 billion won For context, JYP posted 69 billion won last quarter when I started writing this, and just reported 36.3b Hybe: 15b won SM: 30.9b won Hybe has the biggest revenue, about 3x JYP and the two most profitable years among Big 4. Hybe's sales are bigger because of acquisition. The streaming revenue of Ithaca holding labels is roughly on par with Hybe's Kpop the past 4 years. But past two years JYP's been the net income leader. I got the impression Hybe's spending on Katseye hurt their profit last year. It's starting to pay off now (7 day link). I'll focus on Hybe later. JYP mature groups. Lower costs, higher profit I think JYP benefits from two mature girl groups; another mature group, Stray Kids fills the BTS enlistment vacuum. The name recognition lowers 'customer acquisition cost' for tours, which have become more profitable in recent years for the top groups. Little YG investor relations info I notice on YG's site, they don't have any presentations breaking down any details. Even their peers' earnings presentations aren't anywhere near the detail of the 10-Qs required by the US from publicly traded companies. YG just links straight to the income statement KRX (Korea Exchange) site. Is there some Korean version I'm not seeing, as far as conference call notes, etc? (The site in Korean just seems to be the same.) There's only the minimum required disclosures on Korea's DART site run by the government financial regulator, their SEC. Anyone notice the interesting SM report? SM does have a much higher net income in their last quarter, that seems to be related to accounting for their purchase of DearU shares. I have seen it and will break it down separately. The music business net income is lower than JYP's. There seem to be noncash investment gains of the consolidated SM-DearU. submitted by /u/hyeran_jainros_fc [link] [comments]

Key released his 3rd full album HUNTER earlier this week, and on both the music shows he’s attended so far he’s been singing the song live, and it seems like he’ll continue to do so for this era! SM is well known for focusing on the performance aspect during the first week of promotions and thus having the artists lipsync, while it’s much more likely to hear live vocals from the second week onwards. For example, Key did the same thing last year for Pleasure Shop, where after the first week he gave us stunning live vocals with a hand mic during the second week! HUNTER has a very intense and complex choreography, and there’s barely any room to breathe in either the choreography or the song itself, so it was a happy surprise for Shawols to hear Key still singing big parts of the song live, during the first week no less! And as expected, he’s loud, stable and he sounds great! He’s pouring his everything into his performances! Key has always been a strong vocalist and debuted as an unofficial lead vocalist of SHINee, but he never really got the spotlight he deserved. Since he debuted solo he’s gotten to shine so much more, and the people he works with have praised him for how much his singing has improved as he’s released more and more solo albums. It’s wonderful to see an artist, who already was great from the start, continue to grow in both skill and confidence right in front of your eyes, and get rightful recognition for it as well! Here is his performances on M Countdown and Music Core if you want to check it out, and while you’re at it please go watch the best MV of the year as well, horror inspired HUNTER!! submitted by /u/Phosphophyllite0525 [link] [comments]

this includes soloists! for me, i really wanna see a full rock solo from ryujin! "run away" from the born to be EP seemed to slightly dip into that niche, but it was very pop-y. i'd love to see her go all out similar to chanyeol in his song "back again" because as a fan of both i think they have similar vibes! submitted by /u/chaewon2001 [link] [comments]

We have seen many animals / emojis being represented as our favourite idols. They even sell the merch of their respective emojis / animal representations. So, let’s play a game. Put an animal / emoji and people will put their idol names under that. submitted by /u/Daddy1007a [link] [comments]

“The show was the first of two nights at Wembley Stadium, wrapping up the European leg of the band's Deadline tour, which will see them play 31 dates in 16 cities worldwide. The trek began in Seoul last month, shrewdly accompanied by a new single, Jump - which set a new milestone on YouTube for the most-watched video in a single day, with 26 million views.” “By the end of the run, the band are expected to break their own record for the highest-grossing tour by a female group. They previously snatched that title from the Spice Girls, during their 2022-2023 Born Pink world tour.” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c36jz730114o.amp submitted by /u/HILife80896782 [link] [comments]

im so confused. on one side ppl are just as loving, enthusiastic, enjoying, and stuff, while on the other side theres sm hate (which i feel is justified…?) for tae’s most recent coca cola sponsorship. i have been a hardcore army with tae as my bias since like 2018, sort of lost touch recently due to skl, and now coming back, ppl have so many differing, controversial, positive yet negative opinions and ppl pointing out the fact that theyve changed a lot recently and theyre not using their fame right and like IM SO CONFUSED. am i stanning the right ppl? am i delving too deep in smth that doesnt matter? but isnt coca cola nonetheless a company with poor intentions/actions? am i thinking wrong here? bc i truly am still an army and im not sure how to be feeling lately considering that im not supportive of mcdonalds or starbucks either and… the hate and speculations are seriously swaying my mind to sm directions. idk whats going on. ps. yeah ik im late to this but still like am i doing smth wrong 🤧 submitted by /u/hazyyveil [link] [comments]

The responsibility for what one does or doesn't do falls on each person and their immediate surroundings. No one should hold an artist responsible for the personal decisions of their fans. Although the exposure and impact they have means that, even if they don't want to, they end up influencing you. However, it's YOUR responsibility to admire what inspires you about these idols (talent, discipline, authenticity) without normalizing the harmful aspects of their behavior. You can't go around saying "ABC idol has a bad influence on their fans," when most are adults, and if they're younger, they're also old enough to know what's right and wrong and can distance themselves from the group or idol in question if necessary. submitted by /u/Someonehihi [link] [comments]

I don't think vocals are as important as dancing. Tbh I don't get why it is a unpopular opinion, but you don't need to sing when becoming an idol. If you can't sing you can become a "rapper" or just get like 2 lines per song. Even those who can sing rarely do it live, that brings me to my statement: You can always fake singing, you can't fake dancing. Idols are mostly performers, they need to dance and act every stage, and they got multiple of them when releasing the song. At the end of the year awards shows are also about performing, not singing. The award for best vocal performance last year went to idle, who are not even that great of a vocalists. Idk why idols are pushing this "I am a singer" narrative when half of the industry can't sing or sings below average. I really liked when the8 said on that one show (that name I can't remember) you're an idol, and they may not be a part for you to sing, so you need to be able to dance submitted by /u/sacragho [link] [comments]
