Hey folks! Over in r/kpop we just posted a new special Town Hall that is focused only on the Flairs we use to help organize our posts based on content categories. Link to r/kpop's 'All About Flairs' Town Hall We included announcements for new flairs here on r/kpoppers and also on r/kpophelp. The following is the section relevant for this subreddit. NEW FLAIRS! Connect - This flair will be used for anything where fans are trying to socially connect with each other. Announcing new K-Pop subreddits or Discords, looking for mutual fans on social media, wanting to meet up at a concert, seeking fans in a region to form a dance group, networking for a fan project, announcing a K-Pop night at a club, etc. Research - Academic surveys related to K-Pop or fandom topics. We'll keep an eye on these new flairs to see if they create any confusion or need adjustments. Let us know if you have any thoughts, concerns, or questions! submitted by /u/alleybetwixt [link] [comments]

Let’s build a girl group with each member representing a different Asian country! Here are the rules: 1) Comment only 1 girl per country along with a picture. 2) They DO NOT have to be from a K-Pop group specifically, but they do have to be from a girl group! 3) Bi-racial idols are allowed, however, if they win for one category, they are ineligible for another. 4) Votes will be calculated after 24 hours. First off, let’s pick a member to represent South Korea! Once we complete this chart, we’ll do the same with a bit group! submitted by /u/sailormusic [link] [comments]

I don't know if it's just me, but I'm always really happy to hear idols talk about their experiences in the industry and opinions about their work as artists. I bring up older Gen Z idols (1997-2003) more generally because they're around the age/seniority to start releasing solo work. Although I've been a K-Pop fan for a while now and have heard idols talk about their work, I'm in this older Gen Z age group. So, it's more interesting for me to hear about the experience of making music from people around my age. However, I am especially interested in these perspectives from the idol industry because: It's pretty strict and many idols tend to keep things private, so when they do speak more frankly it feels refreshing. Many idols don't get to make solo music, let alone have any production influence over what they put out. I started thinking about this while watching Mark's Muk2U episode for his first album. His behind-the-scenes stories were really interesting and gave a lot of insight into what his solo release means to him personally. I also saw his mukbang with Charles Entertainment and enjoyed that because he briefly got to talk about his religious faith and how that shows up in his life and work. I thought all of this was very vulnerable and it has made me appreciate his album a lot more. I feel similarly about the way Stray Kids talks about their music. They have an "INTRO" series where they describe the album-making process and reasoning for choosing certain songs or lyrics. I've also been really interested in hearing how one of their members and producers, Han, incorporates his emotions into his music. He and the members have been vulnerable about his previous mental health struggles (something I thought they'd never mention) on their show 2KidsRoom. He has also released solo music like "Alien" and "Human", which reflect his journey towards a sense of belonging. I know that not all idols want to put themselves in their art in the same way that Mark, Han or other artists do. For some, being a pop star is just a job or their persona is seperate from who they are. Still, for those who want to be vulnerable, I wish we got more of this artistic insight and analysis from idols. I remember Jennie*'s interview with Dua Lipa from a couple years ago where she talked about her about her Korean identity and wanting to make future idols feel more comfortable expressing themselves through their art. I hope she and other idols are able to express themselves through their music and talk about what they perform with more depth. * I know Jennie was born in 1996, but my point is to talk about the autobiographical components of idol solo music right now, so that's why I bring her up. submitted by /u/bananasnalmonds [link] [comments]

Rosé is a talented singer but I think her current vocal technique holds her musical direction back and isn’t ideal for the emotional, slower songs she makes. When listening to her ballads, I felt like her lack of belting and straining in some parts (“stay a little longer” comes to mind) made the songs a bit lacklustre as there wasn’t really a climax. Number One Girl and On My Mind suffered the most because of this in my opinion, it would’ve been great if those songs ended with a really strong vocal part. Obviously not all ballads need crazy high notes but I think Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo is a good example of a song that is improved by the singer’s great capabilities. She could do so much more with her music if she had a wider vocal range and dropped some of her stylistic choices. There are multiple times I think “an open, clear high note or run would really fit this part” when listening to her music. It’s nearly been a year since Rosie came out and I’ve grown to enjoy the album much more than I did when it first came out. I still prefer her poppier side with APT and “drinks or coffee” being my favourites but I don’t think her slower songs were as boring as many suggested when it first released. I would love to see her show off some vocal acrobatics on her future projects. And in case someone brings it up: I do have a previous post about the success of Rosie and I just wanna clarify that I talk about BP because I stan them and I generally just like analysing chart performance as you can tell by my post history. I’m not a BP/Rosie anti and I don’t intend to bring any hate to her. submitted by /u/DowntownFee1 [link] [comments]

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]

Can be of a specific idol(s)/group(s). submitted by /u/Impressive_Mode_9993 [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]
