Favourite 2025 waterbomb performance?

Pretty simple: drop the name of a K-pop group or soloist (from 2nd to 4th gen), and I’ll reply with at least one Western song that I think would fit their overall concept or sound! submitted by /u/Odd-Cat02 [link] [comments]

I realized most of the groups I stan (Skz, Ateez, P1harmony, Itzy) all give off found family, close knit, bestie vibes. But I know there’s lots of groups out there who are clearly only friends on camera or are just coworkers.(Reasonably so, it’s their job) Which groups come to mind for you guys? submitted by /u/AdParticular2127 [link] [comments]

Before you come crucifying me, I've been a fan since the OMG era, and I really love the girls and their refreshing concepts, and I like that they're active. Still... I think they should ease up a little. They haven't stopped since the break between Hwaa and Tomboy, and this is worrying, especially for the members. I can't imagine what Soyeon's head must be like right now. It's good to be active, but they've had three world tours (or two, I don't remember exactly), and they have two or three comebacks each year. Along with Twice, they must be the most active group each year. I say this because sometimes I worry about girls. Having so many full comebacks with so little time... I hope they have time to rest properly. Now they are going to make an album in Japanese, which they cannot participate in producing due to their schedules... I hope they are well. submitted by /u/_issio [link] [comments]

I just love kpop male yearning/desperate songs. Y si fuera ella is definitely one of them and I just can’t stop listening to it. I made a playlist but most of them don’t have the amount of yearning like Y si fuera ella does. Please feel free to give me some recommendations or what kpop idols you find has a very yearning voice!🙌🏽 For me it’s jin especially with his song “background”. submitted by /u/T5902 [link] [comments]

Everywhere, from here to Tik Tok to Twitter you can find only haters.Why is that? Also some people say "I don't enjoy xyz Skz song but listen to this other bg song" and is basically the same. submitted by /u/Still_waiting221 [link] [comments]

Like hypothetically with no NDAs, contracts, fully unfiltered conversation. And like idols of different generations to share their experiences. Or like when will we ever hear about Jimin and Jeonyeon’s beef submitted by /u/pm_bowels [link] [comments]

I’ve recently stopped being as into Stray Kids. But I feel like if “13” by Han was on Spotify, I would 100% still be insanely invested in them. I just don’t feel like I vibe with their usual music as much anymore, but Han’s solo songs are still my Roman Empire. Miserable (You & Me), 13, 12345… I adore those songs so so much. submitted by /u/illandconcerned [link] [comments]

Before I start this is NOT targeted at any specific group or artist but a general trend I’ve noticed in the past 3-4 years. I’ve recently felt like k pop group sales have gotten on average so high they’re no longer impressive and, in my opinion, no longer are accurate representations of their popularity. And this goes for both groups I stan and those I don’t, as well as groups dominating the industry and those that are mid size. I feel like especially in the past year or so somehow so many records, especially debut records, have been broken by such large margins yet these groups fail to meet the popularity scale the previous record holders have held. Either they don’t sell as well in their subsequent comebacks or their songs don’t chart/ get streamed / are iconic or recognizable (both internationally AND locally) to the proportions I’d expect them to be because of these sales. And the main reason I made this post is because it seems that now the “criteria” for a mid size group in terms of sales is close to being 100k and OVER, sometimes this being expected as first week or first day sales and I don’t know I just can’t wrap my head around how SO many groups MEET that yet they struggle to chart locally / internationally and other numbers would point to them being truthfully lower when it comes to actual fandom size. And furthermore if a group deemed popular sells 300k or less first day they’re now considered “flops” or losing popularity. I want to make it clear this is NOT to downplay accomplishments, 100k is an incredible number but I just find it so unbelievable and a standard that will inevitably get so much higher. To be considered “leaders” it’s expected to sell 1 million first day or preorder, you could sell 400k and still be considered “nugu”. I haven’t been a k pop stan for long, especially to experience 1st-3rd gen in its full but I looked up some of the TOP and I mean like household name groups’ sales, and they are comparable / on par to groups considered to be “nugu” (exaggerated) and mid size in modern standards. So again HOW and WHY do fans put so much effort in sales yet struggle to at least inflate some other numbers? I 100% understand that k pop becoming so globally accesible, overconsumption and collection has a play in, in fact it’s probably the sole reason for it, but it still just seems so ridiculous to me and I personally think furthers my point that sales no longer mean shit. How am I supposed to be impressed at 1 million sales when there were 50 versions and 1 photo card per version? like no duh. Idk if I were an idol and i saw my album sold 300k first week yet we’re struggling to have streaming, YouTube, award and fan numbers I’d be pretty bummed out. I guess to close it out, whenever I see album sales I kinda raise my eyebrow and go “huh” and scroll. I don’t want to be suspicious especially when sometimes it’s my own favorite artists but I feel like these numbers are still something so many k pop fans put so much weight to, especially in fan wars, when I’m over here even questioning the numbers of some of my favorite groups. Anyways what do you guys think? submitted by /u/nuluvbo [link] [comments]

This is going to be a very short post, lol. I understand wanting to brag about our fave idols/groups achievements because it’s not easy to achieve anything. But, these days it’s like the stans only want to their faves to achieve something, or bring up these accomplishments so they can use them for stan wars, sometimes even goign as far as making shit up. I know I’d be pissed if were an idol and came online to see my achievements being used as a weapon to shit on my friends, because my fans just can’t be normal and celebrate me for what I’ve done or how much work I put in. Anyways, I just wanted to vent y’all. Feel free to vent with me lol. submitted by /u/Reel-Trouble34 [link] [comments]

I’ve been seeing clips of JYP talking about different topics for years like religion, science, etc. And I wondered if anyone has looked into what he’s actually saying and what it is? Does it have any connection to the company? how far back has he been doing this? Who is his target audience for these things? It sounds like he’s explaining some religious cult. I’ve only seen memes of it but haven’t seen any real explanations of anyone who actually knows what it is. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Practice14 [link] [comments]

I know KATSEYE isn't technically kpop but they still have pc's so I wanna include them! submitted by /u/Budget_Blackberry774 [link] [comments]

As a former blink, is it not kinda crazy that the BP leaks were swept under the rug?? Like as soon those teasers dropped it basically didn't matter anymore. It's very disappointing to me that it wasn't even acknowledged (correct me if i'm wrong this is js my knowledge) submitted by /u/Fair-Internal8706 [link] [comments]

I’m bored and wanna share songs I like hehe submitted by /u/illandconcerned [link] [comments]

What do kpop stans mean when they talk about a concept? I originially thought a concept meant like what the main, consistent message of your songs are meant to convey? If your concept was 'self-love', you're twisting lots of performative styles into that concept of loving yourself no matter what. Like writing the same word in different fonts. But now i'm pretty sure it is about the visuals? Like if your concept is horror, you're going to make music with a creepy set in your MV for the next 7 years. submitted by /u/Gold_Meaning3688 [link] [comments]
