Finally found a decent kpop heardle

Hello everyone! We are excited to take a trip back in time to revisit some K-Pop classics once again, continuing with this rate, the "Early Gen 3" Girl Groups Rate! (If you haven't already, make sure to join r/kpoprates to ensure that you stay updated on future rate-related posts!) Quick Links: Ballot submission: Link to Reddit Chat to message a ballot // Ballot template (Google Docs ver.) // Ballot template (Pastebin) Playlists: Spotify // Youtube (Audio ver.) // Youtube (Lyrics ver.) // Youtube (MV ver.) Deadline: July 7th (Monday), 11:59 Pacific (Link to a timezone converter) How the songs were selected: We used the /r/kpop Top Ten Tuesdays results to grab the most adored songs from each of the artists on Reddit, and we also had a songlist feedback survey on /r/kpoprates to help decide the songlist! Now, without further ado, let's introduce the 55 songs (& 7 bonus songs) that were selected for this rate, ordered chronologically for each artist (artists were also ordered by debut date): . Spica: Russian Roulette You Don’t Love Me EXID: Every Night Up & Down Ah Yeah Hot Pink Night Rather Than Day DDD I Love You HelloVenus: Wiggle Wiggle I’m ill Mysterious Crayon Pop: Bar Bar Bar AOA: Miniskirt Short Hair Like a Cat Heart Attack Good Luck 10 Seconds Excuse Me FIESTAR: One More You’re Pitiful Ladies’ Code: Pretty Pretty Galaxy The Rain BESTie: Love Options Excuse me Mamamoo: Piano Man You’re the Best Décalcomanie Starry Night Egotistic Wind Flower Gogobebe HIP Laboum: Journey to Atlantis Hwi Hwi Lovelyz: Ah-Choo Destiny WoW! Now, We That Day Sonamoo: Friday Night GFriend: Me Gustas Tu Rough Navillera Fingertip Time For The Moon Night Apple Mago Brave Girls: Deepened Rollin’ We Ride Chi Mat Ba Ram After We Ride . Bonus Rate: The bonus rate is basically an extension of the main rate! There were several songs that received high praise during the songlist feedback survey that still were barely not able to make the main rate, so we have put them into the bonus rate here to give them a chance to be rated. . EXID - Lady HelloVenus - Venus Crayon Pop - FM Fiestar - Mirror Ladies’ Code - Bad Girl Laboum - Between Us GFriend - Labyrinth . The Bonus Rate is optional and you do not have to submit a score for every song in the bonus list if you do it: you can score none of them, all of them, or any number in between. You cannot give a 0 or 11 to any song in the bonus, as they are not part of the main rate. While it is optional, we hope you consider participating. Spotify playlist YouTube playlist (MV version) YouTube playlist (Audio version) YouTube playlist (Lyrics version) Rules: You must listen to and assign a score to EVERY song listed. If your ballot is missing any scores it will not be eligible and you'll be sent a message asking you to fill in the missing scores. Each song should be assigned a score between 1 to 10. Decimals up to one point are allowed but any further is a no-no – 6.9 is fine, but 6.99 is not. You can use ONE 0 and ONE 11 for the entirety of the rate, for your least favorite and most favorite song respectively - they are optional but HIGHLY encouraged if you feel some type of way about any given song! Comments are also encouraged but not required for such scores (except if you give a song a 0). Comments are encouraged and much appreciated (but not required, except for if you give a 0) and can be added to any song by simply typing after the numerical score, like so: Hip: 2.4 Ofc the title track that utilizes Mamamoo's vocal power the least ends up becoming the most popular (yells angrily at cloud) This is the ONLY correct way to format a comment. Please do not include colons (ex. 9: I stan!), dashes (ex. 3.3 - This song sucks), or any other symbol after your score/before your comment as it breaks the program. You can also give comments for individual artists! Just write your comment after the :, such as the following: EXID: Are they pronounced like "exit" or are you supposed to say every letter separately? I'll never know For this rate and most future rates, we have a ballot average minimum of 4.00. In addition, if your ballot average is between 4.00-5.50, you must leave comments on your lower scores (which we define as any score that's a 3 or lower). {Do not worry about having to calculate your ballot average, once you submit your ballot, we will tell you if you need to make changes to your ballot for it to be accepted.} SUBMITTING A BALLOT: * Link to Reddit Chat to message a ballot As Reddit is (unfortunately) moving away from the private messaging system in favor of utilizing the Reddit chat system, we are forced to also adopt the Reddit chat system for messaging. You can make a copy of either the Google Docs or Pastebin ballot templates below, add your scores on your local copy/file, and send the link to your local copy/file in your Reddit Chat message to u/KpopRates_Ghost. * Google Docs ballot template * Pastebin ballot template Google spreadsheet template that you can use to calculate averages, record scores, and make predictions Alternatively, if you have Discord, you can message the link to your ballot to both the rate hosts, @Zypker124 and @aidshha. You can also submit the top/bottom 5 prediction form at any time. DUE DATE: Monday, July 7th, by 11:59 PM Pacific - This will be the FINAL deadline, no extensions will be given this time! (Here is a link to a time zone converter for the deadline.)

This megathread is about the ongoing dispute within HYBE and the management of sub-label ADOR. Substantial news developments may be posted to the subreddit (outside of the Megathreads). Moderators will only approve posts that focus on statements by relevant parties, official representatives, or legal authorities. Unofficial commentary, fandom activities, speculation, or blind items will not be acceptable. Articles or translations should ideally be presented as neutrally as possible.

Please be patient with us while we work to balance keeping up with the queue and our own lives. DISCLAIMER ABOUT SOURCES: We prefer to focus on official statements from companies or other vetted sources. There will be widespread speculation and rumor-heavy articles, but until presented in an official capacity we consider them unsubstantiated.

Articles / Timeline 250422 This day marks one year since HYBE launched their audit of Min Hee Jin and ADOR's management. Happy(?) 1st anniversary of the Megathreads! 250502 The 3rd hearing for Min Hee Jin vs. Belift Lab was set to take place but postponed to July 18th at Belift Lab's request. Each side is due to present their arguments/documents regarding plagiarism issues at the next meeting. (Source: Maeil Kyungjae) 250530 We learned that ADOR had filed for 'indirect enforcement' after their injunction was granted and NewJeans performed at ComplexCon back in March (Filed on April 4th according to the statement from NewJeans' representatives linked below). On the 30th, the 52nd Division of the Seoul Central District court further granted this request. The 'indirect enforcement' ruling means that each individual member of NewJeans will be fined 1 billion won (approx. $725,000) if they continue with entertainment activities independent of ADOR, which would be in violation of the injunction. This enforcement with potential fines does NOT apply to any of NewJeans' independent activities between the granting of the injunction and the granting of this 'indirect enforcement'. These fines will only apply to future activities going forward, or at least until rulings with NewJeans' appeal or the main contract validity case changes anything (next hearing on June 5th). (Source: Chosun Biz, MK Sports) The Korea Herald: Court orders NewJeans to pay Ador 1 billion won for each unauthorized activity Discussion Post Korea JoongAng Daily: Court orders NewJeans members to pay ADOR $725,600 for every independent entertainment activity A statement by NewJeans' representatives was made later in the day primarily acknowledging the indirect enforcement ruling, but reiterating that it is temporary and will no longer have an effect if NewJeans win their appeal of the injunction. (Source: Ilgan Sports) The 2nd hearing for Source Music's damages lawsuit against Min Hee Jin took place at the 12th Civil Affairs Division of the Seoul Western District Court. (Quick recap: 1st was January 10th, 2nd was previously scheduled for March 14th, postponed per Source Music's request). Legal representatives were present. Source Music had a 20-minute presentation prepared, but Min Hee Jin's representatives objected to the inclusion of KakaoTalk messages in the presentation. They claimed the messages were illegally obtained and requested the hearing to be closed/private. Source Music denied the messages were obtained illegally, claiming they were gained from company devices with consent. The court went with a temporary compromise to keep the hearing public, but not allow discussion/display of the messages until they were reviewed again. A special hearing to review the messages will take place June 27th. (Source: Sports Today) 250605 The Seoul Central District Court Division 41 held the second hearing for ADOR seeking confirmation of validity for their exclusive contract with NewJeans. Only legal representatives were in attendance. NewJeans' side primarily argued that ADOR had not met their obligations and that their evidence they were preparing to support NewJeans' activities, like finding a new producer, was inadequate. ADOR's side argued that NewJeans' reasons for allegedly terminating their contract continually changed, indicating they are arbitrary and being made up with retroactive hindsight. The issue of some evidence being collected illegally also came up again from NewJeans' side. Judge Jung Hoe-Il specifically inquired if both/either sides were willing to come to an agreement, encouraging them to do so. NewJeans' representatives strongly indicated this was unlikely as the trust in ADOR had completely collapsed. ADOR's representatives indicated they could see negotiating an agreement once the court comes to a final decision. The 3rd hearing was set for July 24th. (Sources: X Sport News, Maeil Kyungjae) 250612 The next hearing regarding the Shareholder Agreement termination and exercising put/call options lawsuits between HYBE and Min Hee Jin was held at the Seoul Central District Court's 31st Division. Arguments from each side mostly re-tread what we've already covered. HYBE's side argued they were justified in ending the shareholder agreement due to the threat Min Hee Jin posed to the company. Min Hee Hin's side argued the timing of the audit/termination did not align purely with that concern and that some KakaoTalk messages and emails were obtained illegally and not admissable as evidence. HYBE also indicated they had a witness to give testimony at the next meeting, which the court accepted. The next hearing with closing arguments, was set for September 11th for both lawsuits. (Sources: Maeil Kyungjae, TV Daily, Sports Today) 250617 Following up from April 16th when NewJeans appealed the court's decision to uphold the injunction and halt on their independent activities, the Seoul High Court reaffirmed the earlier decision. The court rejected NewJeans' appeal. They determined there was no significant change in the material/arguments presented for the appeal and the original decision to grant ADOR's injunction was justified. There was further clarification that the management conflict between HYBE and Min Hee Jin, and her no longer being NewJeans' producer, did not constitute a valid argument for the alleged collapse of trust between ADOR and NewJeans. The group's withdrawal from ADOR is considered arbitrary, that their artistic freedom or activity is not impeded since they are able to do so within their exclusive contract, and that any damages resulting from attempting independent activities are self-inflicted.

Ew trump. I do not support any misogynistic, white nationalist, incel, hitler-like (esp. Musk), racists at all and neither does this sub and apparently neither does reddit as a site as a whole. He stands against everything Kpop stands for which is an art form from a formerly colonized people from a country that is rising up against colonialism and hatred. Anyone who comments anything negative to this, or tries to defend that orange guy will be banned permanently. Go somewhere else, we don't want your lower kind here.

I was really happy to see Bigbang and Taemin on the Coachella line-up today, and I have to say it's giving me some hope that the k-pop landscape might be starting to allow for some longevity. I know they are both exceptions and not the rule, but it's honestly great to see these 2nd gen acts gain more and more fans as the years pass. I mean, I know Taemin is only 32, but both him and Bigbang have been in the industry for SO long and their fandoms are only growing in size - not only that, but they are getting opportunities that reflect that too. All Bigbang members are closer to their 40s than 30s and G-Dragon is well on his way to complete one of the, if not the, most attended tours by a kpop solo act ever. In an industry that keeps debuting minors, that has such a focus on youth, on chasing trends, on always finding the newer, better thing; I really hope their success can perhaps open some doors for other groups/idols to get more opportunities as they age as well. I don't consider Coachella the pinnacle of all achievements but it's undeniable that no kpop artist who is declining in popularity would be offered a slot. I know this is a bit delusional, but I hope kpop companies are watching and maybe choosing to invest a bit more in their older acts. Fingers crossed we can start seeing things shift slowly and less groups being thrown in the basement once the members hit 30. (and yes, still wondering about what could have been with Bangchella 2020, but I am really glad they are getting this opportunity again) submitted by /u/tinuvhiel [link] [comments]

... so I compiled info tables about the whole Produce-Planet series (including Japan too). Joke asides, I mainly did it out of curiosity while re-watching Produce 101 Japan The Girls and realizing how few votes the girls got compared to Korean season. So then I decided to compare every Produce season to see how many more votes each season got, hence how much more popular each season got. Then I added the Japanese seasons and the Planet series out of curiosity even it's quite difficult to compare them (Japan seasons have a different target and Planet seasons have a complete different voting system), but I found it interesting to add them. Might update it once B2P is finished with the whole data. Enjoy ♥ PRODUCE 101 SEAOSON 1 (2016) Date Ep.

I am listening to all the singles, EPs and albums by k pop and K-pop-adjacent girl groups on a tier list. Including: Original Japanese singles/albums Subunits and solos under the group profile OSTs* Not including: Solos and subunits outside of group albums Any covers, remastered versions or remixes First slide(s) will be a ranking of the group, and the second slide(s) will be a ranking in the context of other girl groups. These are just my personal opinions; music is subjective! What I like and how I rank these songs may not line up with your own tastes. I won’t take into account scandals, popularity, or other outside factors. Just the music itself. For U, I listened to the following groups: UNIS, UNI.T I found this ranking a little tough to post since it’s the first time all groups ended up in Not for me. Neither UNI.T nor UNIS connected with me musically, and I didn’t find much that I’d return to. Still, I gave them a fair listen: UNI.T has a quintessential 2018 kpop sound to them, overall I couldn’t get into their discography. They looked to be a project girl group and their discography was very short compared to others like iz*one or i.o.i Top 3: TING Star You&I UNIS were a bit better but their songs are just overall not my taste. Regardless of the ranking, I watched a lyric video afterwards and Hyeonju has an amazing vocal tone. Is she a main vocalist, cause damn her voice is amazing! Top 3: Good Feeling Shaking My Head SUPERWOMAN No stand out bottom 3 for either Even though both were misses, I’m glad I gave them a try, and I'm very excited to move on to the T groups, I think there’ll be some that I like a lot more. *I listened to the VIVIZ album I forgot to rank and enjoyed it; Sticker was my favorite. But not enough to change their ranking. submitted by /u/Armys_blink_once [link] [comments]

"Old K-Pop was so much better" when you only listen to the title tracks of the big groups. This is my favourite one. Nobody ever says that to start a productive dialogue or with good intent, they just want to farm upvotes by complaining and tell people they are a real fan. What are some other examples? submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

Watching the MV reminded me a bit of Trei, a beautiful trio that didn't last long 🥲 submitted by /u/Separate-Comedian-25 [link] [comments]

I need some advice. I recently got into kpop, and i genuinely love it.(I’m 14F btw) i’m not sure if this is the right community, and i’ll take it down in a bit after i receive advice, but, essentially, i want advice on how to give up on my dream of becoming an idol. recently, i’ve starting to want to become an idol REALLY BAD, it looks so fun, and being with a group of all your friends and people your close with, and the amount of love and popularity you get from fans really appeals to me. For me, I think this is mostly about the fame, as i’ve always wanted to be famous, but getting into kpop and discovering idols and all REALLY heightened that. But, i also want to ask if my want for fame could be linked to more innate problems within myself(or if ive just been overthinking it lmao), if it could be an indication of some dissatisfaction, or need for validation and approval and love?? But,to be honest, my life is nowhere near bad enough( i live in a first world country with a multitude of friends who i genuinely love)for me to have dissatisfaction from it, but i could never be content with my life. I’ve also been a maladaptive daydreamer since around 8 years old(and recently i’ve been obviously maladaptively daydreaming about being an idol), so maybe that could have something to do with it, and also slightly abusive parents, but only slightly. Using those facts and info, maybe someone could tell me if i have issues within myself linking to it, or if my want to be an idol is just natural. i want to be content with my life, but i just CANT. everytime i think of being an idol i get come over with an insurmountable amount of sadness, pain and loss of a dream, becuase ive tried soo soo hard to convince myself to not want to become an idol, because its just impossible, yet my heart still hurts soo much and i feel so sad, and i get so sad whenever i watch content, which is bad cuz i really want to enjoy and love the groups. i want advice on how to be content with my own,private life, and how to fully let go of this dream, and if my want for fame could say something about me im relatively very new to reddit and don’t know how communities work but i really need some ideas. thank uou all submitted by /u/sierra732 [link] [comments]

my picks: eleven - ive imma be - xlov energetic - wanna one bad girl good girl - miss a these are just the ones that come to mind but obviously there are hundreds more. i like songs that really show a group’s flavor and concept from the first song. one that has a catchy chorus, and memorable melody. submitted by /u/Seonghye_Kim42 [link] [comments]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YywMIbdEZiU&list=RDYywMIbdEZiU 1st time watching it... Holy hell, what a performance! 3 high energy songs with full dance routines (plus special dance break for Mr Vampire) and live vocals. You can hear the exhaustion by the end of the 2nd song. MVP - Chaeryeong. Hitting those high notes and her vocals held stable for the longest. Hoping to see them perform these songs again in future shows/performances. submitted by /u/carlq [link] [comments]

Think about it. People tend to be loyal to their 'team' (in this case group) they have shows where they compete against each other. Different fandoms have revelries with one another that varie in scope from fun banter to concern that they may actually attack one another. Sometimes we all gather in big stadiums and scream while some people run around being more athletic than we are. We have a ton of merch. I could go on but you get the idea. Did I miss anything? submitted by /u/Difficult_Win_2534 [link] [comments]
