I need every commenter to put their parasocialism aside before they say anything. There is no way someone is smaller at 36 than they were at 18 (when they were already bordering on underweight then) without being unhealthy. I'm not going to name names but I've seen this with so many female idols from 2nd generation and I genuinely don't know why. It makes no sense because even if you take the Korean beauty standards into account they objectively looked better prior to their starvation regime that has led them to look decrepit. They often times get a lot of filler to combat the gaunt face effect but that looks very obvious, too. It also makes no sense because they're nowhere near as active as they were in the past. You may say that they're just harsher on women as they grow more mature, which, true but then they have coworkers and bandmates that don't do as much and whose fame is of the same caliber if not higher. It's just sad. submitted by /u/balmybuttons [link] [comments]

So I combine some songs that in my opinion could be on the same album (you can disagree obviously) but I am curious about which group could had this "album" : https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0ypTf7fRCrS6EMniVCZp6o?si=aN0kwvuDTsqNpQQAuk5F7w submitted by /u/Pitiful-Ad2342 [link] [comments]

For me it has to be the parasocial relationships and the “he’s my man etc…” that have gone too far. submitted by /u/Impressive_Mode_9993 [link] [comments]

What is objectively the most difficult SNSD choreography and why is it Hoot? 😂 As someone who has been a fan of SNSD since 2009, I found it easy to learn their choreo for Gee, Genie, Oh, Run Devil Run, Chocolate Love, Lion Heart, Forever 1, etc. But I could NEVER learn how to dance Hoot gracefully. What about you? What do you think is the most difficult SNSD choreo? submitted by /u/GainElectrical9594 [link] [comments]

I’m looking for a copy of Baby VOX’s Come Come Come Baby album but all I can find are ones on eBay coming directly from Korea and I don’t want to pay the extra fees. Are there any online shops that sell 1st gen albums where I might be able find a copy of this one without having to pay the extra fees? I’m a having a hard time with this particular album because 99% of my Google search results are unrelated empty photo albums and baby supplies. submitted by /u/nipplequeefs [link] [comments]

A lot of people active on English speaking kpop spheres aspire to become idols, which is not a bad thing. Its a good thing to work towards your dreams. But a number of those people take it to the extreme and bash kpop companies for not debuting lets say a foreigner of non asian descent in their kpop groups. here is just a simple reason why kpop companies simply dont need to fufill diversity standards. 1st, there is no need for minority representation when THERE ISNT ONE in the country of Republic of Korea. Evidence: According to Statistics Korea (KOSTAT) and the CIA World Factbook, the population is overwhelmingly ethnically homogeneous. As of recent years: Koreans make up about 96% to 98% of the population. The remaining 2–4% includes foreign residents. And guess what the foreign residents include Chinese, Southeast Asian workers, international students, and biracial Koreans. Western media often emphasizes racial and cultural diversity as a standard (especially in the U.S., where multiculturalism is part of the national identity). However, South Korea’s domestic audience — the core market for most K-pop acts — does not have significant ethnic diversity. So it DOESN"T MAKE ANY sense for kpop companies to cater to an audience that does not even exist within the country of Korea. Therefore, minority representation might be vital in a country such as the states because the population is very diverse a lot of different races, but applying that same expectation to a homogeneous society with different cultural values is just plain ignorance. It just shows a total lack of cultural awareness when kpop fans asks korean entertainment companies to debut "non asian descent" foreigners in their kpop groups. Please stop projecting and forcefully installing your own western ideals on a country that has completely different cultures and cultural context as the west. Not to mention, when Koreans themselves use the word "foreigner", 80-90% of the time, they are talking about Chinese and Japanese, or people of a different nation, and not necessarily talking about people of non asian descent. Some counterarguments: 1st, Some might argue that "K-pop is global now, so it should reflect global diversity." Since kpop is consumed by millions of non Asian fans around the world, it should start representing them. However, K-pop being global doesn’t mean it stops being Korean. Companies still prioritize their core market: Korea + Asia. Western fans enjoying K-pop doesn’t entitle them to reshape it into something it's not. Consumption ≠ ownership or entitlement to representation. 2nd, "This argument sounds xenophobic or gatekeep-y." The argument isn’t about race exclusion, but about cultural context, business strategy, and market reality. When you are a CEO of a business, the first thing you'll prioritize is what makes you the most money, and producing a product that does not cater to your domestic market is just plain stupidity. It’s not racist to acknowledge that a homogeneous country with different values doesn’t cater to the same ideals as multicultural ones. It’s about recognizing cultural boundaries, not reinforcing racial ones. 3rd, Some might also point to Katseye as a counterexample — a girl group created through HYBE x Geffen’s The Debut: Dream Academy, with a lineup of racially diverse members from around the world. But here’s the key thing: Katseye is not a K-pop group in the traditional sense whether fans like to admit it or not. It’s a Western pop group with K-pop influence, created for a Western market, under a Western label (Geffen), and based in the United States. It does not have the pressure from a business or societal standpoint to cater to the korean audience. Most koreans in Korea do not consider Katseye a kpop group. In fact, the fact that HYBE partnered with a Western label and produced the group outside of Korea only reinforces the idea that: 1, If you want Western-style diversity, you need a Western market and Western infrastructure. 2, Korean companies clearly separate their domestic strategies from Western ones. So no — Katseye doesn’t “prove” Korean companies are diversifying. It proves that when they do, it’s for non-Korean audiences, and even then, it’s under different branding and management.
