I’ve always disliked certain group names that , and for whatever reason they’re almost always the survival show ones, El7z Up being the absolute worst. Other names I disliked include but aren’t limited to: ENHYPEN, ATEEZ, ZB1/Zerobaseone, IZ*ONE, (G)I-DLE (now without the G), TWS, and LE SSERAFIM. Mostly names that are supposed to have some kind of meaning or abbreviate something but end up being extra or being tacky. I remember being shook that they chose the name LE SSERAFIM seemingly just to have it be an anagram of their debut song IM FEARLESS. Just wanna add that I really like all the groups I mentioned, but the name was just at least slightly annoying to me at first. Like to this day I still don’t know what the “EN” in ENHYPEN means. TWS being TWS and pronounced twuss feels somewhat childish to me. But I’ve heard and seen the names so much that now idc. ATEEZ was not a bad name at all but now I know them as stripteez (what even is that group about 😭) I don’t know why but ILLIT’s name in particular is still annoying to me. And even more so when it used to be I’LL-IT which looks so ugly. The name itself doesn’t really sound catchy or pretty… I’ll it. I lit. Eyelet. Aisle it. I get that it’s supposed to be a contraction of I’ll be it or represent unlimited possibilities like “I’ll slay it,” but it’s always so confusing to people learning the group name’s meaning and pronunciation that it’s almost a bad name. Again, nothing comes close to the wifi password that is El7z Up but I feel like they could’ve given the ILLIT girls a more characteristic name especially because of their dreamy whimsical concept. Don’t get me started on the current fandom name. submitted by /u/choerry_bomb [link] [comments]

Quick not so quick backstory : My parents are both ethnically Korean, but my father immigrated to the states when he was in Middle School, and my mother immigrated to Canada at the same age. My mother gained citizenship before she married my dad, so I happen to be Canadian since birth despite being born in Korea. I was raised in Vancouver since age 3(2009) but moved back at age 10 (2015). As far as kpop goes, I discovered kpop pretty early on. My father was a fan of bigbang, and my mother of deux(1st gen kpop duo) and I witnessed the early Hallyu wave during my years in Vancouver. I then spent two years at an international school (~2017 June), and one year at a korean public school(~2019 Feb). My middle + high school years were also spent in Korea, at private schools (MS was a 국제학교, so most of my friends there had actually grown up in the states. vs my HS, which was pretty much full korean). Basically what I'm trying to say here is that I'm well versed in both the Korean + western (NA) side of kpop, and just the entertainment industry/cultural values in general. I've witnessed firsthand the popularity/growth of 2nd gen~5th gen idols here in Korea, but I've also kept in touch and interacted often with my friends from Canada/the States. I haven't seen many koreans in this sub... so if you have any questions, feel free to ask me anything!! edit: phrasing, grammar lol submitted by /u/Pepper_Wyme0602 [link] [comments]

u can disagree with me ofc this is just a discussion but i truly believe that one of the reasons that chanelle didn’t make is cuz she is half white, loads of wasian koreans talk about koreans not fully accepting them and even calling them “foreigners with black hair”, and i’ve noticed that illit is heavily marketed in soley Korea and japan, their concepts are ones that work well in korea and japan, their lyrics r mostly korean (or japanese), none of the members speak fluent english which is obviously perfectly fine but as a company they know if they truly wanted illit to be marketed towards a western audience they would need 1 fluent english speaker. illit is hybes asian marketed group and i truly think they didn’t to “hurt their chances” at that. now i know ur going to say what about txt hueningkai is wasian, yes but i don’t think txt was made as a group that is heavily centered around east asia. i know chanelle eventually debuted under a smaller company so i’m not saying every company does this i think illit is a new “experiment for hybe THIS IS NO SHADE TO ILLIT THEY R MY FAV GROUP AND I LOVE THE LINE UP THE WAY IT IS!!!! i couldn’t see chanelle in illit so i think it was the right decision submitted by /u/Aggravating-Start921 [link] [comments]

I like the vast majority of lesserafim's music and I have an overwhelmingly positive opinion over all of their releases except for unforgiven and hot. Give me fearless,give me antifragile,give me easy,give me crazy,give me perfect night,give me pretty much any of their releases except hot and unforgiven Since unforgiven is two years old I'll be focusing on hot. Hot was in my opinion very underwhelming compared to the energetic releases that were easy and crazy. The only stand out song is come over. At first,I didn't like it either but I LOVEDDD the choreo,it scratches all the right parts in my brain so I watched performances and through them the song grew on me. I can't pinpoint what exactly I like about it but it has a really smooth flow. It feels like a mild,relaxing wave in the sea,this is the best way to describe it. I love come over and I'm surprised it didn't receive blue flame,EPATBW or smart type of popularity. Anyway,I'm eagerly waiting for lsrm's next cb cause I need a follow up to hot and I think they'll be starting their next trilogy submitted by /u/Alive-Pitch-9180 [link] [comments]

Idk if others have already figured this out but in the song Your Idol by the Saja Boys at the beginning there is some Latin words chanted and jts really kinda hard to notice unless you look at the lyrics. I saw it on Spotify and decided to translate it and I thought the translation was pretty cool in context of the movie. Enjoy 😉 submitted by /u/BlueMongoose64 [link] [comments]
