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]

The subreddit is mostly uncensored as long as people follow the rules. Generalizing statement about Korea, Korean society, etc or most other countries are not acceptable except under the following standards: The only claims that are acceptable when generalizing Korean society in this sub are those that bring up generalizable stastical claims by the standards of the international statistics institute. Not only do the vast majority of stastistics you can find on the internet about Korea not up to this minimum, basic standard but this requirement includes having ample sample size, blocking by relevant demographics and sometimes even double blind tests. So if you make a generalizing claim, your wording must be properly formatted and links to the relevant studies provided. In other words, the standard for making a generalization is very high in this sub. Not to mention the wording for your claim has to be properly made. Anyone who has taken a college level statistics class will know what I am talking about and we may even require you to provide the confidence level interval if it's relevant for your study. If you cannot meet these standards, I would just avoid doing it in general. submitted by /u/Kpop_Love_Forever [link] [comments]

So... I'm seeing some similarities in the way both groups blew up/are. Katseye is right now in the middle of blowing up. Y'all think Katseye will be as big as BP at their peak? submitted by /u/HailzButtercup [link] [comments]

He gets overlooked so much . He loves gg dances , to him it's more than a gag , it's a skill he is proud of . He is a huge perfectionist as well . submitted by /u/GrabMore8308 [link] [comments]

I see lots of posts accusing people of being Hybe stans or antis or whatever. Who are these actual people who are solely committed to a single company? Do they actually exist? The groups I listen to are IVE, Blackpink, Itzy, Le Sserafim, and aespa. They are all from different companies. I would expect others to be more like be, but there's a ton of discourse acting as if that isn't the case. submitted by /u/SpecSlayerSC [link] [comments]

In 2023, I met Kang, the CEO of a small Korean company. He praised my potential but made it clear that I needed to improve my skills. He asked me to improve my Korean and gave me almost a year to prepare. We set a date: November 6, 2024. During this time, I had an inspiration: I created the group "SWG." The project took four months of intense work to complete. I presented the idea to Kang, and he liked it and said he would support the project. In the meantime, I was selected for another audition in Korea. They asked me to come to Korea on a specific date and month and said they would arrange a place for me to stay and participate in the competition. I said I couldn't go because I didn't have the money at the time, so they simply ignored me. I wanted to be loyal to Kang's small company, as I had promised, so after a while, I started ignoring another company that had contacted me. I still needed to finalize and structure the marketing strategies for the project and the necessary investment specifications for the group, something that could take approximately six months and include around 1,000 slides and other documents. Meanwhile, while preparing the marketing strategies for the group, Kang began to ignore me for an as-yet-unknown reason. I became discouraged. I became so discouraged that I stopped working on the marketing strategies and realized that perhaps I shouldn't have ignored other companies that wanted me. I simply wanted to give up on everything; it's very difficult to work without some kind of financial or business support. I was working so hard on the project that I simply ignored the people around me, including my family. During this period, I ended up having a burnout that made me lose the desire to do everything I loved, including music. I simply lost the desire to be an artist. So I wanted to give up, but while on YouTube, I came across "Agust D," the artist who sparked these dreams in me when I was 13. Hearing the song "Snooze," I finally felt the support I needed, and so I wrote a response song on June 6, 2024, called "Rosa Azul." During this time, I started thinking about the negative aspects of being an artist, such as being yelled at, exaggerated compliments, unrequited love, lack of privacy, mental exhaustion, and lack of time to focus on myself. I also learned during this period that sometimes we get so focused on our dreams that we forget to improve ourselves as human beings. The years pass so quickly, and over time we realize that we may never feel the same way again. My feelings that I had over many years simply faded. Emotions change, experiences transform us, and what was once intense can become just memories. Because people change all the time, and so do their thoughts, feelings, and opinions. Each person lives in their own world. While you see one reality or a phase of life, someone else may experience something completely different. This requires patience and empathy. We shouldn't expect everyone to think like us. It's important not to fixate on a single thing for too long. Our minds have the power to create unrealistic scenarios and possibilities that don't exist. This can generate unnecessary anxiety and frustration. The world we live in is built by our actions. There's no set destiny, only choices. Therefore, we shouldn't expect something to be prepared for us. Just go after what you want, and if something doesn't happen as expected, we must accept that there are many things we can avoid, but others that simply cannot be changed. In these cases, acceptance is the only possible path. After all, one day we will all die, and that is part of human existence. What we do between the beginning and the end is what truly matters. I'm currently taking care of my mental health. The burnout I suffered was very severe, and I had to be hospitalized and take heavy medication. And it was in this darkness that songs like Snooze made me find a reason to live again. My only dream is to meet Agust D. submitted by /u/snow20300612 [link] [comments]

Who is your idol Mount Rushmore for Japan, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Australia, and USA? Gender does not matter as long as the idol is from that country. (You can include Korea and other countries if you want; you can also add honorable mentions) submitted by /u/Busy_Scene_5351 [link] [comments]

As the title states: Rosé needs an improved stylist and glam team. It’s no secret that looking amazing at red carpet and press events does a lot of good for generating buzz and catching the public’s eye. For an easy comparison, look at Lisa. Her team has been pulling out all of the stops and she has been looking stunning and it’s keeping her in the press. Rosé is everywhere right now and I would love to see more looks that compliment her better! How much of what we’ve seen from Rosé do you think is her own influence? What styles would you like to see her in? Who are artists you’ve seen stay relevant through their fashion choices? submitted by /u/micdoesreddit [link] [comments]

this might might be a little controversial. i’m going to give them their 10’s because they improved a lot in their performances and stage presence. i totally agree with the criticism bcs they’ve debuted for a while and not a drastic improvement. people need to understand aespa is vocal centered yk? like how itzy is dance centered? and at the end of the day i’m just here for the music. when i turn on spotify i’m not seeing their faces but listening to the most angelic vocals submitted by /u/GYUSLOV3R [link] [comments]

Did you guys watch it? If you did, did you like? As a Fearnot-Stay im just so so happy they were invited here, both groups deserve it so much and the performances were incredible! Just so proud 💕 It also makes me a bit emotional since Le Sserafim was called the "national disgrace" but were invited here to such a huuuge stage. This is 2nd time Stray Kids perfoms in front of a SK president btw!!! Also something funny that happened is that Lee Know didnt stop haunting butts even in such a big moment lol submitted by /u/DryPollution3147 [link] [comments]

I just found exo today from their song "first snow". I've known individual members for a pretty long time now, and have listened some of their solo stuff, so I finally decided to give in and listen to the actual group, and now I'm mesmerised. It feels like fate, really, after avoiding them for so long, I'm finally exploring them right when all the members are back and there's hint of a comeback. But what... exactly happened in the past few years? It seems as if everywhere I look exo up, theres one member or the other who isn't there. I haven't really followed along the lawsuits that happened, all I'm aware of is SM is, and has always been, a crappy label towards their artists, what with the multiple lawsuits filed by so many of its former artists. Anyhow, ive mostly heard of exo with either one or two of its members leaving or on hiatus (in contrast to 'we are one', i've rarely ever seen them all as one except for wayyyy back). For one of the most legendary groups in kpop, they sure have had a lot to deal with. So...what exactly was their career trajectory, what went down behind cameras, and where do we stand now in terms of ever seeing a full comeback with all 9 (?is that right?) members? I would love to be able to witness them and see them perform live as a whole, but at the present moment I'm not even sure if that's gonna happen. submitted by /u/ghurrat-al-layl [link] [comments]

So, Twice just announced the US dates for their 2026 tour, and there were so many unexpected cities like Vancouver, Boston, Philadelphia, Denver and Saint Paul. And I think touring companies need to start paying attention, not every K-Pop can afford to travel for shows, and it's just really nice to see a group finally expand outside of the normal cities for K-Pop tour. This does make me a bit hopeful going foward with other tours, but I could be proven wrong submitted by /u/cwarosvski [link] [comments]

I know something was sampled unless my mind is messing with us.. Specifically this part of the first verse: Why you acting real nice? Yeah, should I remind ya? Pull up, I got receipts (Ooh) You be the type to sell me a lie Just to get you what you need, oh I love the song so much and ive been listening to it everyday since it came out, and i remember listening to the song that was sampled growing up i just cant for the life of me figure it out😭😭!!! My mom thinks a part of the chorus was sampled too, but i dont see it.. maybe im too young to realize LOL but yeah. I love m.o so much!! the creativity was insane submitted by /u/Legal-Coach9826 [link] [comments]
