The latest "issue", Enhypen has released their self-made merch and is about to go on sale soon. Sunghoon designed a mini-Sunghoon doll for Engenes that wears some of his most iconic outfits to serve as keychains. Sounds good, right? Unexpectedly, MOA became angry at this and said it's copying Yeonjun's Ggum keychain. Given that they're both under HYBE, it's not exactly shocking they tapped the same manufactuter for production. This should still be a non-issue because it's not like TXT has exclusive rights to this supplier's keychain business. Both keychains aren't even alike aside from the manufacturer— and you know, at the end of the day, it's just keychains. At first, it seemed like just another silly online fanwar, but the overreaction is even going offline? 30k trending hashtags, hateful YouTube comments, and now there's plans of actual protests outside Enhypen's pop-up stores. We can't even say that it's just a minor number of fans because dozens of posts are reaching 10k-30k likes. Their outrage seems to be legit, and not just a small minority. It's as if people genuinely believe this. Honestly, I'm just genuinely disappointed that what should've been just a fanwar online blew up into something crazy. Idk if people genuinely believe Sunghoon wanted to "copy" Yeonjun but it's crazy how this non-issue might bleed into real life activities. submitted by /u/Desire-Untold [link] [comments]

I didn't mean for the title to come off as hateful as it did but I also agree with everything I said in it. I usually like to take the approach that you don't want to make any claims right away with new groups/ redubut groups but I truly believe this song had to be good. VCHA was managed so badly and given such a weak identity that it felt like there was no way the group could ever bounce back and recover. Now, I obviously don't like how this happened, but somehow, we got many eyes back on VCHA for their redubut as Girlset. It is a miracle (not a good one but) that they even got this attention and hype from so many people who didn't care about VCHA, they had to deliver. And JYP I think usually does deliver in situations like this. It started off strong with Girlset having some effort put into a new concept and identity. Then, they release this garbage? The lyrics are so unoriginal, so lazy, zero depth, they do nothing for the group except make it so you can't take them seriously. The song is so generic. They teased doing interesting stuff in the song just to not follow through with any of it. This is just demotivating and sad. I feel so bad for the girls. We kpop fans need to make our voices heard and fight for Girlset to get better stuff than whatever that was. submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

For context, my friend and I played a kpop girl group Heardle everyday until it just started looping the same songs because the dev didn’t update it. I asked a friend of mine who codes to make a new one based on that Heardle, and he did! I wanted to share with everyone here, so that more people can have fun and appreciate the Heardle. Enjoy! submitted by /u/Away_Tomato6945 [link] [comments]

As much as it must be very hard to dance with this, kpop girls are commonly wearing high heels. Which girl group do you like the most with high heels. Here are mine fav : 5) Mamamoo : They are often doing dance practice with heels, and they surely perform extremely well 4) Twice : Twice also often wears high heels in the MV or on stage, they really look good with this. 3) GFriend: Again, they look incredibly beautiful with high heels, and they perform so good with heels. 2) Blackpink: of course the iconic girl's group, looks absolutely irresistible with high heels and dance like pro with heels. 1) That's my fav group with high heels -> AOA : They simply own high heels, they look extremely stunning with heels, they dance perfectly with heels, they walk perfectly with it, it's like these girls were born with high heels 👠 ❤️ What do you think ? Who are your fav group with high heels? submitted by /u/Cestlavieenrose999 [link] [comments]

Kmusicandblackwomen was a YouTube channel dedicated to posting male Kpop idols interactions with black women in a way that felt blatantly fetishistic of Korean men. It also felt degrading towards black women, it made them look desperate. Unfortunately, I watched it when I first got into Kpop, without realizing how weird that account is. Thankfully I realized how problematic that account is and stopped following that account. Well, fast-forward to a few days ago, I came across this YouTube channel called fullybloom93 through my recommended. They have two video series titled "Black Women making hard for toxic shippers (and we thank you)", which has 9 parts, and "Asian and Latina Women making toxic shippers leave the chat (and we thank you), which has two parts. Both these video series focus male idols interactions with women and make them flirtatious to get back at toxic shippers who ship two male idols together. I'm not even joking about that last part, because they have lot of videos proving male idol x male idol ships wrong. It would be fine if they disliked idol x idol shipping in general, but they specifically seem to dislike male idol x male idol ships specifically. Sorry for the wall of text but I felt like people should know about this I didn't know where else to share. I know that r/kpopnoir exists but you need have a flair to post and the most has not given me a flair yet. Also, I don't think it needed to be said but please don't send death threats towards them, just criticize them normally. submitted by /u/Downtown-Book3105 [link] [comments]

I’m one of the surviving Korean-English translator for the W LIVE, and I just wanted to say thank you for your patience when you have to wait for translations. I started in 2018 when V LIVE was getting popular, and I wanted to give you some information about how we work, my thoughts on V LIVE and W LIVE, and maybe even answer questions if you have any. At V LIVE, we worked under a “Freelancer Contract,” and our shifts were 10–7, 1–10, and 3–12. Why? Our roles were to translate VODs and provide live translations. We worked five days a week and earned one vacation day each following month. (I wrote it but decided to delete this part before posting about the current W. Maybe I can be more honest here when I quit the job haha) I get to work at home, so that’s probably the best thing about this job! I’ve also been able to travel while working, as long as the internet connection was good. Singers still ask during “spot lives,” “Is this AI or is there a person translating it?” Scheduled, set-based content (like comeback LIVEs for HYBE-related and SM-related singers) is done by us. For example, we handled all the LIVE translations for BTS when members were discharged (this was possible because these were scheduled in advance). These days, some singers mention that they see subtitles during “spot lives"?? I think those are AI-generated. (V LIVE = we could monitor and watch the show while translating live / now = we only see the right screen with doing our live translations with transmission, so we can’t read comments or see viewer counts, etc.) At V LIVE, we had up to 10 translators at one point, and we covered many more groups and influencers than we do now. V LIVE also had “Fan Sub,” which allowed fans to translate their favorite groups’ videos. I sort of miss this content too, though it had many issues. Now, the substitute for fans is uploading it using YouTube videos. Why does it take so long to upload? They prioritize BTS videos first, then HYBE, then the rest. The Korean team has to separate the timebars and write the script of the video first. Unfortunately, this can take 2–3 weeks, and if there are higher-priority videos, the wait can be even longer. (I got frustrated when I saw LE SSERAFIM videos from May earlier this month 😅 I think we caught up a lot though!). [We currently translate VODs of &TEAM, BOYNEXTDOOR, ENHYPEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, LE SSERAFIM, YOASOBI, and Comeback LIVE shows by the company] Just for fun. Some of my current favorites to translate (and why): WONWOO and GAM3 BO1 – I love his shows; he’s such an easy person to translate. (And SAKURA started playing games too!) MINGYU – He’s just a likeable guy and really fun to translate. WOONHAK – I like his positivity, and he shows growth every single time. YUNJIN – Her shows can get philosophical, which is sometimes difficult, but she usually switches to English for that. I like listening to her stories and how she shares her thoughts (even about books). JAKE – His Aussie accent makes 영>한 tricky sometimes, but he clearly enjoys talking to fans. I also like his music collection. (There are definitely singers I’ve had a hard time translating 영>한, haha.) Things I miss or think about: I miss the LieV 눕방 concept. W LIVE doesn’t have concept-themed LIVEs. (The recent NCT WISH LIVE was funny but could’ve been better 😛.) I do wish we provide translations for more singers. I miss “having days off.” We “request” days off every month, but I often end up working anyway. There’s no set start or end time. Sometimes, out of nowhere, they’ll say “no work today.” This can last 1–2 weeks, especially at the end or beginning of the year due to award shows, hiatuses, etc. I “sometimes” miss reading fans’ comments while doing LIVE shows — it made me feel like part of the show. This is one of the reasons I feel that I felt more like an employee of "V" than now (we're totally just 100% freelancers) Yes, my job can get crazy repetitive, but I enjoy keeping up with K-POP. I’ve been a fan since 1994, so I know a wide range of K-POP history. Growing up in the States, I’m happy to think I’m part of the K-POP industry in this unique way. Fans, please ask more creative and new questions! I see so many TMI, do a baby butt bread pose, do you like A vs. B, pick 5 artists vs. a 5-year-old artist… LOL (just kidding—thank you for showing your 팬심 to your favorite singers💜). I tried to make this post entertaining. I'll do my best with translation. I hope that you continue showing support for K-POP!! Lemme know if you have questions too~ :) submitted by /u/nadanenglish [link] [comments]

She talks about how she found the members of 1verse, and the company values and goals. She mentions how she defines the group in the kpop world vs a global group. She also talks about harder topics like how she made sure hyuk and Seok (the NK members) were prepared and protected for the industry and how they have to fight harder to prove themselves. Also about how they work to overcome culture differences amongst the members and the staff. And how the team and group comes up with their song ideas. submitted by /u/xlov_mother_muti [link] [comments]

Ever since a few days back when HYBE and Geffen announced another collaboration and some of the girls from Dream Academy (Katseye's survival show) were revealed, Eyekons and other stans have been worried about the new girl group's potential to compete with Katseye in the West. Just looking at previous patterns and trends, there's no reason to be concerned or bothered by that. HYBE has debuted groups close together since the 4th generation. NewJeans and Le Sserafim are three months apart. ILLIT and TWS are two months apart. TXT and Enhypen debuted a year apart. The common denominator? They're all highly successful groups. Debuting close together means absolutely nothing in this day and age. The industry is so oversaturated that many groups are debuting weeks apart and still achieving massive success. HYBE are also clearly intending on pursuing a different concept for their new girl group - they wouldn't have copies of the same group under the same label. They also may potentially target the Japanese market more, as I believe they're trying to find another member who is Japanese. This is all to say, Katseye is already huge. The only thing to worry about is whether they can maintain their popularity. This new group will likely have nothing to do them and will most likely not affect their success. submitted by /u/MagicianMoney6890 [link] [comments]

It is time we take a step back from our ult superiority complex and spread some love to some songs that we think are so good, they are better than a song our ult made in a fun way! I will go first. I think Dejavu by TXT is much better than Dejavu by TWICE. Both are good though. (Oh yeah, bonus points if the song by your ult group is good as well) submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]
