Picture this. It has been almost a year since your last comeback, and the only "signs of progress" is some HYBE producers and writers getting together in a songwriting room. (which hasn't amounted to anything meaningful) You decide to vent your frustrations on a live, but in a calm way. "When is our next comeback? Other groups are getting a comeback, but why not us? We also have fans." Mind you, a few months earlier, you and your group wasn't invited to your own agency's company dinner. Coincidentally, your agency and its head label is embroiled in the start of what's probably the craziest controversy it can face. Your words has seemed to travel out of your fandom's bubble. It's now gaining traction on the news and internationally. Your Korean fans have had enough, and decided to get together to send a message to the agency. They send protest trucks and flower wreaths demanding for your group to drop a comeback, persisting for a few days. On an ordinary day, they would've probably brushed it off. But a certain ex-ceo has gone rogue in the same week and did a press conference, causing double the PR controversy for your agency. They gotta do something! So, they finally announced that you guys are coming back on August, with only three months of comeback preparation. But here's the catch, you and your group didn't even know you were even preparing a comeback until your fans told you. You basically have to rush the comeback process. That's what happened to fromis_9. The entirety of May 2024 was a mess for them, but it was a good mess. Although a significant of their hype and fanbase was killed by the mismanagement of their 2023 comeback, Supersonic would become their magnum opus. It was the song that rejuvenated their career and make them basically famous in Korea. The comeback became their first song to chart on MelOn on the first day, it became their first song to enter the top five of MelOn, and it became their most popular song to date. It also became their most popular song internationally, taking off in a way that their last comebacks hasn't seen. With four music show wins, it also became their second most awarded comeback. As of the one year mark, Supersonic is still on the top 100 of every Korean music charts, alongside their recent comeback as five, Like You Better. Not only was it a smash hit, it got longevity. It was the perfect combination despite the rushed comeback. The MV is considered their most polished and creative, the choreography is very fun and energetic and the song is catchy and trendy. The domestic fanbase basically blew up, with half of the current fanbase coming from Supersonic era. They also put a lot of effort into the promotions, singing live every stage and doing their best to interact with the fans. They still cried on their first win this era, despite having around 10 wins at this point. It just shows how much they went through. Even though the promotions ended on a happy note, the fandom was met with bad news on November 29, when their contract with PLYBE expired. It's bittersweet in hindsight because the five girls who continued has now found a great agency. But Saerom, Jisun and Seoyeon has decided to pursue their own paths, with Saerom being an actress, Jisun being an influencer and Seoyeon signing to K-Hiphop label, H1GHR Music. But it just shows, that any group are always capable of having a smash hit this late into their career, no matter how terrible it seems. submitted by /u/yebinkek [link] [comments]

I've sort of fallen out of the kpop scene since my ult group has disbanded, like I'm almost completely out of the loop with most of the current groups, but recently I've been feeling nostalgic for my kpop and noticed that some moments, which seemed big at the time, are never mentioned in the current discourse or even in threads like this one. When I say moments, I mean sort of anything, like memes, songs, controversies, discussions, etc. Some examples: EXP Edition - a kpop group of white guys, I think it was some sort of a project and was never meant to be treated seriously in the kpop sphere, but I remember there were a lot of memes and discussions about them. Going off of that: Lana, a russian kpop idol, I remember this being somewhat of a big topic on stan twitter and was quite controversial. I think most current kpop fans don't even know these things ever happened lol Aside from those two EXID as a group, but mainly the string of singles: Ladies - I Love You - Me and You. I wish things had worked out better for them, specifically Solji and LE seem to be some of kpop's most forgetten talents 💔 and also Pentagon - Shine Wanna One - Energetic iKON - Love Scenerio These 3 songs feel somewhat connected to me, came out around the same time, felt very big and I think they're also the biggest hits of each of those groups (might be wrong in iKON though, but I never really stanned them so idk). It sometimes feels like nobody remembers them sometimes😭 It's a given that I might be misremembering things and that these moments weren't as big as I make them out to be, but some of these really feel somewhat quintessential to their time. But regardless what are some of the moments that you feel that sort of went by and were never mentioned again? bonus: hey dawn what's going on and Jessi's other antics around that time submitted by /u/sawayamist [link] [comments]

To me, this is one of the wildest TIL of the last few years. Final Fantasy 14 is the game that helped me throught COVID and Shadowbringers is my favorite expansion together with Endwalker so learning that Eunkwang, one of the best male vocalist that there is in kpop, sang the Korean title song for the expansion really shocked me (in a positive way). What's your wildest TIL? submitted by /u/sweetpotatoclarie91 [link] [comments]

I grew up a HUGE vocaloid fan, and that included listening to a lot of youtaite English covers that were ..... hit or miss on their translyrics. Like they sounded wrong, but I was never really able to identify what set hits and misses apart other than thinking "this is clunky and sorta stupid sounding". When I made the jump to Kpop I felt similarly abt the English versions and it seems contentious among fans. Given how much bigger Kpop is and the fact that the companies themselves release the tracks, I feel like I finally have the chance to throw a wider net to the audience: what do you think makes a song sound good in English? Let's actually set aside whether the translations communicated the original meaning of the songs, because while I think that's an important quality, I don't think non-speakers can judge it very properly. Translation is not very straightforward, and everyone has a slightly different interpretation or might make different choices when communicating into English, which is why you might see a lot of conflicting fan translations. Often even the official English translations released by the companies will be judged as not completely accurate or missing nuance if you're in translator spaces or watch breakdowns from KR speakers. Which nuances are "most correct" are subjective, but even if they weren't that wouldn't save a song from sounding odd in the translyrics. Let's only talk about sound for a second! I think the biggest or most common criticism is "it sounds clunky." What makes a song's lyrics "sound clunky?" Is it juvenile rhyme scheme? Rhythm feeling off, like they're trying to cram more syllables than the melody can hold or feeling like they're dragging out words over notes that want their own phoneme? Is there a "natural" melody, like when you sing a song from memory and find yourself adding/dropping words to fit your memory and then you hear the original and think it sounds wrong. Does it have to do with which version you heard first? Often Japanese versions of originally Korean songs (and vice versa) are discussed as "not sounding right" by fans who speak neither language(lol). It might be that being used to hearing the Korean makes the English jar against your memory, but I feel like Le Sserafim's English versions all have been acclaimed, plus I've seen mentioned Cupid FIFTYFIFTY, Sweet Venom Enhypen, etc. It could also be that the phonemes in English and the word-stresses sound ill-suited when compared to the original track.... but then again, Racing into the Night by YOASOBI's English version (and a lot of their other Eng versions) is specifically engineered to sound similar to how it's sung in Japanese, and I think it also sounds super awkward, sorta word salady and it doesn't make any sense to a distracting degree. It's a common criticism for English versions to have weird turns of phrase , after all, so syntax definitely matters (although, I feel like kpop fandoms can be a bit too strict about songs "not making sense." No one is on Max Martin's ass for his creative choices.) Do you think when you can actually understand the lyrics, you're more honed in on the "cheese" factor? Maybe the question is actually more along the lines of "what makes a song sound natural in any language". Recently I was listening to quite a bit of old pop punk songs, and quite a few of them (particularly Face Down from Red Jumpsuit Apparatus) triggered the "these are some rough translyrics" thought despite the song being written originally in English! Adriano Celentano's "Prisencolinensinainciusol" is notable for sounding like American English while also not being literally any language, and I think it sounds... like it could be words that are good. 😅 Maybe this thought is way more complicated than initially posed lol. submitted by /u/SomeRaceHorseName [link] [comments]
