H1-KEY Riina with Kep1er Xiaoting - Summer Was You (Dance Challenge) (250712)

I didn't see a post about the photos here but Taehyung & Suzy went viral recently on Twitter. One post has over 350k likes, another one got over 115k likes. What do you think about them? They seem to be good friends and their visual chemistry match. I'd like to see them in a K-drama someday. submitted by /u/flutterbye1995 [link] [comments]

I'm just a bit puzzled as to why they’re so often at the center of discussion in Kpop spaces when most people don’t even consider them a Kpop group. They specifically label them “Kpop-adjacent.” I have nothing against them, I’m genuinely curious as to why they generate so much conversation among Kpop fans and communities while people simultaneously draw a clear line that they’re not part of Kpop. For a group that so many seem eager to differentiate from traditional Kpop, it’s interesting that they’re mentioned more often than 90% of actual Kpop groups across major Kpop-related subreddits and other platforms. On this subreddit alone, I feel like they're in the top 5 most frequently mentioned groups right now. And the most ironic part is that in almost every discussion, I see comments emphasizing that they’re not Kpop as part of the reasoning behind whatever point is being made. Is it purely because they’re under HYBE and the fact that most people were introduced to them through their affiliation with the label’s Kpop artists? Or is it that they’re actually much closer to being a Kpop group than fans like to admit and people just aren’t sure where else to discuss them? submitted by /u/Acrobatic_Prize_7749 [link] [comments]

📌 Template by u/Funny_shit_ig! I had done this post for K named idols earlier, but since it didn't get much engagement, I felt it was only fair to give it another shot. Some people also mentioned they weren't fully satisfied with the results, so here's a chance to give it a proper shot and make sure every deserving name gets recognized! Just a small request, let's try to be as fair as possible when naming idols. I know we all love our biases but avoid defaulting to them if there's someone you genuinely think stands out as a dancer even if they're not your ult please feel free to name them. The goal is to appreciate real talent and keep things fun and respectful for everyone! Again to keep things fair, please avoid repeating names that have already been mentioned. Let's give everyone a chance - the comment with the most upvotes wins! submitted by /u/lia_core [link] [comments]

Why is katseye discussed in kpop forums and spaces when the fans themselves say they aren't kpop, like if you aren't a kpop group then there is no reason they should be discussed and promoted from updates to songs, bring them somewhere else, the fans bragged that there not K-pop so it's better if we simply don't promote them here, those fans can go somewhere else, is there anything I'm missing or saying wrong??? submitted by /u/Easy_Number_14 [link] [comments]

Everynight i think about joon, hobi, suga and jin if they are resting well or not and i hope they are well and happy (i do think about all the members but since past few days i’ve been feeling this weird resonance w the hyung line in particular) I just saw a post about Suga and his respectful behaviour towards women and he went to teach autistic kids music and that just made me cry and sucha pure soul he is and i really think that our BTS members are really pure and kind- its true that the media does hide a lot of things but i saw this post it had a compilation of all the members realizing that “i made it!!” and hobi was the last one to realize since his confused expression in the recent concert says a lot and it just breaks my heart because they work SOO HARD always and since a long time i’ve been a bit maknae line biased mostly because i could relate to them more and i was into vocal music and dance more (I m an OT7 guys dw) but i’ve always felt very connected w jin and joon and nowadays its more towards hobi and suga and i m crying as i write this but i hope they all know that we’ll support them Every. Single. Day and Each and every one of them joon had a hard time in military he is literally a gentleman, hobi and jin had comebacks and concerts as soon as they came back from the military, suga is also working a lot and he’s been through a lot, tae had to lose weight because of the agency asked him to? (I m not much updated on this particular news) please heal from everything my boys, you guys are legends for a reason and please rest well. We are here for the support. I have been an ARMY since 2017 and I’ve been following them through each and every chapter and albums but then since last 3-4 years i haven’t been following kpop a lot since i was exploring my other interests and i thought that i m growing up from my kpop phase and i’ll never go back but i do find myself being genuinely happy whenever i listen to BTS old songs and songs that actually got me into kpop I think i was trying really hard to get into the western music and other genres of music that my friends used to listen to the most but i could never connect to them and since my other friends in this new city don’t listen to kpop that much i was trying really hard to fit in lets say but whenever i was sitting in that little park and listening to “seesaw” by Suga it felt like home- i shouldn’t have tried so hard to fit in there and should’ve accepted my music taste.. i used to hate it when people said any shit about BTS and i still do because these people don’t know about BTS that deep and they’ve gone through and how far they’ve come and I used to act all non- chalant that its all chill because your opinions won’t change how i feel but people should know how to respect submitted by /u/cherryreds0da [link] [comments]

I’ve seen a lot of comments from people that are sad or confused on why so many big kpop tours don’t come to Canada nowadays. As a Canadian who pays attention to ticket sales, these are very telling and help explain why. Note this is more so focused on larger scale concerts in arenas or stadiums. Might go on a tangent but here we go: 1. Canadian tickets are expensive for local wages and can be even more expensive than American ones. This impacts ticket sales as local affordability is awful and makes Canada a riskier market compared to the US. Let’s look at some recent concerts and compare to other western countries: Blackpink GA Pit VIP US: $900 USD Canada: $1500 CAD Stray Kids VIP US: $600 USD Canada: $800 CAD Australia: $500 AUD Babymonster Send Off VIP US: $500 USD Canada: $800 CAD Since Canada is so close to America, we get the unfortunate reality that our ticket prices are usually on par with theirs or EVEN MORE after FX conversion. BP and Baemon have ridiculous FX conversion rates of $1.60 or more. This makes those tickets actually the most expensive for any fan. Looking at Stray Kids, Australia actually has higher salaries then Canada but has cheaper tickets. This makes it way more affordable for local fans. But Canadian shows are never priced to local affordability because of how close we are to the US. By doing this you price out locals and so a lot of people buying your tickets either are Americans travelling or huge fans willing to spend the money. North American Kpop tours absolutely depend on casual fans unless you have a massive fanbase especially when you’re playing bigger venues such as arenas or stadiums. Blackpink is a prime example. Day 1 Toronto sold out pretty well, but Day 2 sales were awful. Clearly no demand at the same high Day 1 prices. So they cut floor prices to $450 CAD or less and that’s when tickets started selling more. But those prices are less than the equivalent American tickets so the tour is making less in Toronto. Blackpink haven’t sold out either date for the $1500 CAD VIP tickets which makes sense because it’s easier for an American to pay $900 USD then a Canadian to pay $1500 CAD. Our wages are a lot worse. Sure we have had artists sell out arenas in Toronto such as Twice, Aespa, and Ateez. But Twice is a long running group with a massive fandom and 2023 was their first shows ever here. Aespa is the biggest girl group at the moment so that makes them trendy and popular with lots of casual interest. Those two had very big popularity to help sell them out. Ateez did well with last year’s concert (I think basically selling out) and getting tickets for them wasn’t particularly difficult. But they aren’t coming back and I think Toronto just wasn’t worth it for their current tour. For the biggest American cities, they chose stadiums and they definitely don’t have the popularity to do it here in Toronto. Plus, they increased ticket prices by a lot. Lower bowl regular tickets are $300 USD+ which would be over $400 CAD. Their most expensive VIP is $1200 USD and that would be at least $1700 CAD. I don’t doubt they could sell the VIP out but higher ticket prices for regular seats would start pricing out locals and considering they just came last year, I can see many people choosing to skip it. Another group that came earlier is NCT 127 and this was their first Canadian concert since 2019, but ticket sales weren’t great and they sold the lowest % out of the NA tour here. Yes their concert was on a weekday, but so was Aespa which sold out. If people wanted to go, it wouldn’t stop them. Concerts like this can make promoters and companies hesitant about doing shows here. Is it worth the extra difficulty of planning a Canadian show if it performs worse than the American stops? 2. Venue availability and tour costs We all know kpop tours are announced with much less notice than American tours. Toronto gets so many other tours along with basketball and hockey games. The main arena (Scotiabank Arena) is in very high demand that both BTS and Blackpink have never played there because other artists had concerts at the same time. Toronto only has one arena of the typical concert capacity (10-15K) so if they can’t book here then they’ll have to play in a town away called Hamilton. This is an inconvenience for both the tour and fans so if there’s nothing in Toronto then it’s easy just to skip Canada. There are other factors too that I think make concerts in Canada expensive. All the VISA costs just for likely one Toronto concert. Concerts in Canada have different laws with merch which makes it logistically more difficult. Booking the one downtown arena in Toronto also likely isn’t cheap. Also, hotels in Toronto are widely known to be very expensive. All in all, I could see Toronto concert operating costs being very high for a place that doesn’t have the same demand as NYC, LA, or Chicago. Financially, is it really worth coming here? Especially when some kpop tours (cough HYBE cough) do very short tours and little US dates to begin with. Of course, they’re going to be picky and try to maximum their tour revenue in the US and go to the places with the most demand and reliable markets. As someone who likes a lot of HYBE groups, it really sucks to never get their tours here. But I don’t see that changing. HYBE does very short North American and overall tours compared to say JYPE tours. They’re not going to spare us a date. BTS is the test. They could play multiple days of stadiums and easily sell them out. If BTS don’t come then no other HYBE kpop groups will come (Katseye is the exception as they are western focused). submitted by /u/insidedarkness [link] [comments]
