Ew trump. I do not support any misogynistic, white nationalist, incel, hitler-like (esp. Musk), racists at all and neither does this sub and apparently neither does reddit as a site as a whole. He stands against everything Kpop stands for which is an art form from a formerly colonized people from a country that is rising up against colonialism and hatred. Anyone who comments anything negative to this, or tries to defend that orange guy will be banned permanently. Go somewhere else, we don't want your lower kind here.

I’m pretty sure we’ll keep seeing the hundredth post like, “Look, this idol/group is using AI for something.” I even saw people talking about it on variety show threads, which was kinda funny. Overall, Korea just doesn’t give nearly as much of a damn about this as Reddit does. Yeah, AI’s gonna keep being used. If it bothers you, show it with your wallet. submitted by /u/Striking-Meal-5257 [link] [comments]

Youngbin just debuted and she is under INNIT Entertainment, which is a JYPe subsidiary. But so far her videos do get posted on the main JYP Entertainment youtube channel. She's genuinely a very good vocalist and strong performer. However she is mostly being overlooked by the larger kpop audience, and I wouldn't expect her to be massively popular right away but its the degree to which shes gone under the radar that is surprising. Even though she's being posted on JYPe Youtube with 31 million subs, her debut MV from 10 days ago only has 8k likes, and her song that was released on Sept. 17th has just 20k streams on Spotify. so idk this post is all over the place. I hope it can bring a little more attention to her. But I also want to discuss how there can be almost zero attention at all for her debut. All I can think of is that maybe the "big 4 buff" for a debut doesn't really apply to a soloist that hasn't already debuted in a group. Though I also wonder if people just aren't so interested in what JYP are releasing anymore as far as new artists. It seems like HYBE has all the casual fan's attention. I can't help but think that if HYBE debuted a brand new female soloist right now with Youngbin's kind of style and talent that she would be way bigger already. But maybe people disagree with that speculation? submitted by /u/wonhaeoh [link] [comments]

*Sorry for the silly title, I had to hit the characters limit. I don't know much about Pentagon or Kino but YouTube did its job and recommended me this song https://youtu.be/tiHQSQEaDNc?si=p3S1bsiTJOKNoHjm It's a "I hate my job, I'm too sexy for it" type of song. The lyrics and so real and unhinged and he looks stunning in the MV. I think it's also pretty unusual for an idol to say that they love club, sex and cigarettes, so yep I think it's an interesting song worth checking out. submitted by /u/Sil_Choco [link] [comments]

Are there other reasons why besides their visuals, vocals, chemistry, catchy songs & cool choreo? LE SSERAFIM (Ult GG): Love their age gap; truly feel like a sisterhood. Their fan interaction during and after concert performances. Fim's Club are so adorable. MEOVV: Zuha wore their pin on the ECH Tour. Saw their poster in K-Pop Demon Hunters. I'm a cat person, so 'nuff said 🐈‍⬛️ NMIXX: Just found out that they have a lore, and I'm intrigued. Their Acapella Medleys are wow. Eunchae and Kyujin are friends. submitted by /u/FEBRY_FEBRERO [link] [comments]

How was your experience when you make friends through kpop? Was the friendship connection strong and lasted long? Do you feel that kpop has improved your self-esteem? I hope to listen to your pros and cons about kpop thanks in advance submitted by /u/Bubbly-Fee8434 [link] [comments]

Honestly, this is more on the lighthearted side of things and ultimately doesnt amount to anything so please don't take this too seriously and remember this post does not hinder you in doing what you want at all. With that being said! It doesn't matter what happens somewhere somehow we always end up at the "This idol is a cat!" crossroad for everyone including idols that are very much just not a cat! They don't look like a cat, don't have typical cat like traits, etc. Nothing. The majority of the fandom will agree they aren't a cat and even the idol themselves! Yet, some way, somehow you see someone go "Actually! They're so cat coded" LIKE ENOUGH 😭😭 Not every idol has to be a cat its okay. I'm ngl you cat lovers are greedy as hell (and I say this as someone who loves cats too) because why must every endearing thing an idol does equate to them somehow all of a sudden being a cat? When they're really not? Let it go. Not every idol can be your little meow meow. Show other representative animals some love pls ! submitted by /u/Nynasa [link] [comments]

Does anyone else feel like K-pop is moving on from hyper-polished idols to favoring more "out-of-the-box" groups? For years it was all about hyper-polish, perfectly synchronized choreo, perfectly proportioned visuals. But lately the public seems to be tired of that, and craving authenticity and rawness instead. Groups like ADP, KATSEYE, XLOV, and Cortis are blowing up for a reason - because they feel less manufactured and more “real.” Right now it seems like the groups and companies taking risks, not debuting carbon copies, not hyper-focusing on visuals or synchronization, are the ones reaping the benefits. The public seems more open to idols just being themselves rather than sticking to the template. We've been there and done that, that formula just isn’t going to work anymore. And I think in the grand scheme of things, this is a GOOD thing. Does anyone else feel the same? Or do you think it’s different? submitted by /u/Special-Ad6201 [link] [comments]

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ As September wraps up and October approaches, I hope everyone is doing well. My week was pretty good, as I’ve been listening to both new and old things I haven’t heard in a while. I also did some reflection this week since we only have three more months left in the year. I was also surprised when Twice announced a Special album for October, which I can’t wait to check out. I hope the year has been going well for you all, and let’s jump into the music and see what the artists delivered this week. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ https://preview.redd.it/73rbwlknuqrf1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e970ca3397bbccac0e98eb0dd0a619daf86cfb27 Other Korean Releases of the Week: September 22nd Head Shoulders Knees Toes - tws tws is back with a new single called Head Shoulders Knees Toes. The track goes for this synth-trap beat that blends with the group's strong performance. The hook has been growing on me over the week as I’ve been returning to it a few times. The vocals are smooth, blending wonderfully with the instrumental. The rapping is pretty decent, flowing with the vibe the producers crafted. The bridge is one of my favorite parts as the vocals slay before the final hook comes back into the mix with its strong vibe. https://preview.redd.it/yiovz2cavqrf1.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8748d95ed9be2ac5e58b7830339a399bd5d2c71a ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ September 24th Pretty Please - Hearts2Hearts SM Entertainment group Hearts2Hearts dropped a pre-release single for their first mini album, coming out in October. I’ve enjoyed the group's 3 songs they have released since their debut, but I will say all of them feel a bit different. Pretty Please feels like an R&B throwback to a time when SM was using R&B-pop tunes for their groups. The instrumental reminds me of something out of 1st gen Kpop as I could see S.E.S performing this one. The sweet vocals blend with the instrumental as it’s been growing on me the more I return to it. The hook continues to grow on me the more I hear it, and I feel like it will be on to get stuck in my head. a-na and juun deliver a rap in this tune that adds to the overall vibe of the mix. As the final chorus comes into the mix, the members deliver some killer vocal notes that hit me with each listen. As I listen to this tune it. https://preview.redd.it/8mtc5q6ovqrf1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e037bc9309cf45018a8846b22d3ff54a5fa33c8 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Awake - Yerin Since Gfriend disbanded, Yerin has explored various musical styles and companies as she navigates life as a solo artist. Yerin has a soft, sweet voice that works well with the guitars that craft this pop-rock vibe we’ve heard many times before. It feels like Yerin is hopping on a trend since I’ve been hearing a lot of rock-inspired tunes. I don’t dislike this tune, but I find it a little forgettable after you listen to it. The hook is pretty average, not doing much to pull me back for more. I wish the instrumental did a bit more instead of sounding like bare bones with its overall vibe. I find the other songs that Yerin has released to be a bit better than her new one Awake. https://preview.redd.it/2o3xq8j0wqrf1.jpg?width=261&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=102ad9943f329bb83044468d93a6ad434cd16309 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Non-Korean Releases of the Week: Bah Humbug - Pentatonix Pentatonix announced this week that they will be dropping a new Christmas album on October 24th. I wish it were an album full of originals, non-Christmas music, but I’ll take any new music over no music. This new pre-release is a retelling of the Christmas Carol. The group's arrangement sounds theatrical, letting each member have a chance to shine. Kevin’s Beatboxing throughout the track helps bring the song to life, feeling like it came right off Broadway. Scott is the first one to sing, and his deep tone fits the arrangement like crazy. The hook has been getting stuck in my head like crazy since I first heard it this week. Matt and Kirstin fit perfectly with the vibe as each member delivers some smooth notes. One of my favorite moments is the harmonies where Mitch hits a high note that pulls me back for more. Even though I wasn’t excited for a new Christmas album, Bah Humbug got me curious to see what they're going to do this time around with this new album. https://preview.redd.it/pc4jnrijwqrf1.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ebc20868d4b822ff8bd038b03eaec277818e0fa ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Blink (feat. TZUYU) - Corbyn Besson Twice member Tzuyu teams up with Corbyn Besson for a collaboration, earning co-production credits. I don’t know who Corbyn Besson is, but he seems to fit perfectly with Tzuyu. Corbyn fits wonderfully with this funky beat that has been stuck in my head like crazy. Tzuyu delivers smooth vocals during the hook, which is another catchy moment in the song. I will also say Tzuyu saying Shit in the hook wasn’t my bingo card this year, but I don’t mind it at all. I wish Tzuyu got a verse, but with her only getting a chorus, I’m not upset at all since she performs that one excellently. I wasn’t sure I would like this collab, but it hits hard and is one that I’ll be having on repeat like crazy. https://preview.redd.it/fany8qtuwqrf1.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b24ae1e986768e539a2d61ac65752c72fea1fc6 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Weekly Lastfm Roundup (September 19th - September 25th) Artist: Twice https://preview.redd.it/zgw77g13xqrf1.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b21583c0b472526b5e5d9026a725648d3f7ae58 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Album: LIL FANTASY vol.1 - Chaeyoung https://preview.redd.it/aukjh7n7xqrf1.jpg?width=2312&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b510de4d3c9b09d91b4a5c8efa798f7efa2787a0 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Song: AVOCADO (feat.

I am aware that this is an unpopular opinion, but I will still write it. BTW before you read this, please be aware that I am not trying to bring any hate to Iroha or the members from Aespa. Lately Iroha has sent a video of her dancing to Rich Man (by Aespa), which ended up being used to criticize and hate against Aespa, solely bc of one poor performance on the US channel (forgot the name). People began to say that Aespa's poor performance wasn't bc of low quality light or lack of background dancers, since Iroha danced it with more energy and professionalism, despite no background dancers and no good lighting. I'm kind of perplexed and annoyed which is why I'm writing this. And again, no hate to Aespa or Iroha. But why would you post a video of you dancing to a song that the main kpop group is already being criticized and hated for poorly dancing to? I'm a bit curious. I heard that Iroha sometimes, if not often, dances to dance challenges and all of that, but dancing to Rich Man is like saying "Hey, I can dance it better than them" while most likely knowing that they're already being criticized for the poor performance. It might have been better to post that video of her dancing to that song on a different time than now, bc of the hate and criticism Aespa is receiving. And also, why are people so overly analyzing and being so damn rude about that one performance from Aespa? Like, yes, let them be aware of it, but there is literally no need to be so damn deep and complicated about it. Let's put Aespa and Iroha out of this now. Why would people (and probably you too if you did so too) post such comments? “Giselle never beating the uncoordinated member allegations I’m cryingggg” “See the prblm was never the choreo it was the girls who cant dance.” “Iroha be like : This is how you do it (WITHOUT ANY BACKUP DANCERS AND CAMERA WORK) and mys will point out ‘Iroha is not singing’ did aespa sing? ohh just lip sync.” People can be vicious for clout, but half of these “hate takes” aren’t even about skill, they’re about nitpicking and exaggerating. Saying “the problem was never the choreo, it was the girls who can’t dance” is lazy hate: if aespa were truly talentless, they wouldn’t even be where they are. And comparing Iroha’s solo clip to a full aespa stage with different context is just disingenuous, of course one looks cleaner when it’s stripped down. The “backup dancers and camera work” line? Every group uses those: pretending aespa is the only one is selective blindness. And let’s be real “Who the fuck choreographed this” sounds bold, but it’s just blaming the girls for something that’s usually a company decision. So yeah, the comments are ruthless, but they expose more about the bitterness and double standards of K-pop fans than about aespa or Iroha’s actual talent. What are your thoughts about this? I'd like to read your opinion (if it's not about hating aespa bc of that one performance). ♡♡♡ submitted by /u/Own-Street5154 [link] [comments]
