Give me your harsh kpop opinions and I will rate them

When the song started the instruments was odd but weren't something that I don't like. they start to sing and it similar to just STAYC, if you know TWENTY by them, they have a sound and they keep it which I like. You can't call it really slow, it is more like a pop r&b song. personally I like r&b elements. J starting songs is something I like to hear. the verses are sweet, not new for them! then comes the chorus and I like it so much, the production of the choruses is good. my fav part is the conclusion with "𝑌𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑓𝑖𝑔𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑡", the "figure out" part keeps me chill like this is it! the vibe is great. part two of that line says "𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒" by the way. some b-sides deserve the whole industry to listed to and give it a chance. if I am posting about each, I will never be done. the only thing I can complain about Pipe Down is the length. but I can't complain alot because it's such a dreamy song. I do feel like I wanted more, but still what I hear is sort of enough. so I truly appreciate this song. in case you like Pipe Down and it made you remember other songs, I would like to hear :) submitted by /u/Middle-Dragonfly-489 [link] [comments]

They just achieved their 9th win for Rich Man, making it their most wins for any song (surpassing their hit Supernova). All this while barely promoting the song in Korea. It's literally top 10 on Melon, Dirty Work is Top 15, Whiplash is Top 20 and Supernova is Top 50. Karina's Hot is Top 80. They also were the highest first week sales for any female group in 2025 with over 1 million copies sold in the first week. They're the third highest in total sales for a girl group in 2025, only behind IVE's two releases this year. You can hate the creative direction, but if this is what is considered "flopping" then what's the implications for other girl groups? Except for IVE and Blackpink, most of them struggled to chart high or at all in Korea. Are they considered flops? Of course not! I understand they're not everyone's cup of tea, but don't people understand attempting to label Aespa flops inversely means other groups are even worse off? Anyway, as a MY on TikTok aptly put it, "MY flop and your flop are not the same". submitted by /u/CrazyGailz [link] [comments]

Mentoring/judging/guesting on a show doesn't count! Feel free to include shows that aren't necessarily kpop (i.e. rap shows, non-korean shows, etc) as long as it's somewhat adjacent. Afaik Bae173 have been on 6-7 survival shows: Boys24, The Unit, Under Nineteen (if you count former members), Produce X 101, Peak Time, Project 7, Starlight Boys submitted by /u/AAALLY- [link] [comments]

How many groups are you guys a fan of where you can differentiate all their voices? (By fan in this sense I’d just say keep up with releases, watch some performances, etc) I’d say I listen to 80+ different groups on a monthly basis, am a fan of around 30 of them, but can only differentiate all members’ voices of like 5 of them. The rest, I can recognise some members, and struggle with the others. Those 5 groups are also ones that I got into during lockdown, so watching a lot of performances and colour coded videos helped me to differentiate their voices. submitted by /u/NoMembership2503 [link] [comments]
