Happy 12th Anniversary to them!

This isn’t a defense of sasaengs, let’s be clear. But I’m genuinely asking: why are fans still expected to care more about idols’ privacy than the idols themselves? Haechan in particular has been caught on multiple occasions responding to known sasengs, giving them gifts, and even hooking up with them. And he also tells them to stop calling or sets a boundary (which is completely valid) only to turn around and engages anyway. So if he’s not consistent about drawing the line, why should I be? As fans, we’re expected to hate sasaengs, block them, and never interact, but if our faves themselves are interacting with them willingly, Why should I care? Aren’t they no different than a friend or hook up buddy at this point? The double standards confusing. Are sasaengs stalkers or your friends? Are we supposed to treat them as serious violators of privacy, or acknowledge that the idol’s inconsistent boundaries are what keep them around? Are they actual threats, or just fans who figured out how to get close and never got told “no”? Are they terrifying threats to idol safety — or just lucky enough to get a callback? It raises a bigger question: If idols want the sasaeng behavior to stop, why do they reward it? And more importantly why should I care? I’m tired of giving grown men a pass while we dogpile teenage girls for leaking something the idol responded to willingly. This post isn’t just limited to nct though, i’m pretty sure The Boyz is currently something through something. Discuss Not an anti. Not a sasaeng defender. Just a fan who’s done playing police when the people at the center of it all are sending mixed messages submitted by /u/existenceoverrated [link] [comments]

I think Yuna would play dress to impress, I don't know why, but I can just see her playing it on live or something submitted by /u/EdenMyaz1236 [link] [comments]

I'm listening to SNSD and I was wondering which one is that number one for you and if it's too difficult tell me a top 3 of your favorite SNSD songs. submitted by /u/Separate-Comedian-25 [link] [comments]

Lately, almost all the BTS-related get taken down very quickly. Even the major events like them being discharged two days in a row and 12th anniversary. Nearly every post related to these events got mass reported or was removed. These aren’t low-effort or spammy posts—they’re significant moments in the group’s career. What makes this even more ironic is that some people here complain that there are “too many BTS posts” on the sub. But how can that be true when almost every single one gets removed within hours? Like it or not, BTS is a kpop group and they have the biggest fandom. It is their month, let people post in peace. Also a few hours ago someone made a post to celebrate BTS’s 12th anniversary, and it was of course removed. As a response, ARMYs ended up posting two more anniversary posts just to try and keep the message visible. So if you feel like you’re seeing “too many BTS posts,” it’s probably because they keep getting taken down—and fans keep reposting in response. It’s a loop created by the removals themselves. This sub is supposed to be for all K-pop fans. Why some fandoms are overly sensitive when BTS is mentioned? submitted by /u/Accurate_Entrance227 [link] [comments]

I’ve been listening to nct wish lately and I can’t tell their voices apart for the life of me. Jaehee and sion have very distinct voices but every other members sounds the same to me? I can tell riku is rapping but if he sings I have no idea Sakuya also i can differentiate when rapping but other than that i have no idea. Yushi and Ryos voices to me are a little nasally but again i can’t tell them apart, does anyone have tips to differentiate them? submitted by /u/existenceoverrated [link] [comments]

Genuinely asking because people I know are drooling all over their recent comeback and the numbers are doing suprisingly well as well. Is forgiving and moving on the general consensus or are people still against watching or streaming anything of theirs? submitted by /u/Gold_Meaning3688 [link] [comments]

Let's leave aside whether you believe they're a thing or not. I can NOT stand the way so many people are just tearing this woman apart because of the very real possibility that she's dating their favorite idol. I would hope most of those commenters are insecure 10 year olds, but unfortunately there's actual adults that genuinely think it's normal to talk about another woman like that. I'm an Army and I don't really consider myself a Blink, yet I think army's are so much more toxic anytime this topic gets brought up while Blinks are relatively normal about it. It's funny too because a lot of comments I've seen are about how Jennie is just asking for attention somehow when the entire reason the rumours started was because V accidentally followed HER. (not that he should have gotten hate for that obviously, just a bit of a weird leap fans made there) The 'V would never go out with someone like her' comments are also strange... they are both idols (therefor can relate to each other in that aspect), have the same passion, are both extremely attractive, around the same age and have probably bumped into each other multiple times in the spans of their careers... I've heard of stranger combinations lol I really hope BTS continue to be a bit more laid back when mentioning their dating life or something because I am sick and tired of these fans (and I wouldn't mind my tickets to be a bit cheaper iykwim) submitted by /u/Due_Improvement_5699 [link] [comments]

TWELVE YEARS AND THE BEST IS YET TO COME! submitted by /u/Brilliant_Rub_5206 [link] [comments]

Sorry for being so harsh, but I was so annoyed that everyone was saying 'Lia is this and that' 'Lia is a bad dancer' 'Lia blah blah blah', but fail to recognise that she had a part to play in Itzy's rise to fame. A LOT of people always say that Itzy fell off after sneakers, but I really don't think that was the entire reasoning. I really really loved sneakers (I know a lot of people didn't) but regardless, I do not really remember hearing anything about Itzy to the point I was literally wondering. wth where's Itzy only to realise that Lia went on hiatus after sneakers era and even though they were still making songs they weren't getting any traction like before, you know WHEN LIA WAS THERE!!! Obviously I'm not saying she's the only person that matters in the group or that they all depend on her, of course not they are all extremely talented women and their solos were absolutely amazing, but it seemed like everyone was not interested and they couldn't make numbers like their Loco era. But think to rn when 'air' came out and 'girls will be girls' like I've heard so much about their new songs, and I know Lia came back like last year June or July, but it seems like they are regaining traction. It's so upsetting to see "FANS" complain about a member so much that they are happy for them to go on hiatus, only for them to exit the fandom as soon as said member goes on hiatus, instead only saying the group is dead and they fell off. EVERY 👏 MEMBER👏 HAS 👏A 👏PART👏 TO PLAY👏 IN 👏THE 👏GROUP. And even if you can't see that, their presence still stays there empty, and I feel Itzy showed that clearly. Of course there are some groups that still do amazingly well after a member left, like G-idle and Stray Kids, but Kim Woojin left BEFORE they got big. The same thing with G-idle, their songs 'Queencard' 'Nude' and 'Tomboy' were made after Soojin was made to leave, those songs were their most popular and I feel like they got bigger AFTER Soojin left so her loss wasn't really felt, and didn't impact the popularity of the group as much as Lia did Itzy. Btw this is not me putting down other members of Itzy, or members from other groups. I'm just simply trying to say when a group gets big, everyone comes to know and love that group in that certain way (with those members and their vibe)and hating on one member because a person thinks they are a place holder makes NO SENSE as they ALL equally played a role in making the group what it is. EVEN IF YOU CANNOT SEE EXACTLY HOW THEY HELPED. And these people seem to forget that practice is a thing, like not everyone is good at something as soon as they're born. The best dancers/singers in K-pop definitely weren't the best dancers/singers their entire lives, they worked to get to where they are. not every single K-pop Idol can be an all-rounder, and if you think that 'someone is a bad dancer' 'someone is a bad singer' 'someone has bad stage presence' FINE that is your opinion but they still add something to the group, and they can always work on their weaknesses. submitted by /u/Haunting_Play4959 [link] [comments]

I think most casual listeners would agree that these two are their most memorable singers not just based on vocal ability but on their tone and delivery as well which is why I say they are underutilized. I'm aware that they've had the most amount of lines across their whole discography but it's not just about individual parts or singing the most lines in total. I don't know if it's the formulaic YG production that dates all the way back to their predecessors or the fear of making their fans unhappy but their choruses being so rap or instrumental driven has only been detrimental to their music. Jennie & Rosé have unique voices that don't sound anything alike when you listen to them separately but the moment they sing in unison it becomes clear how well they complement each other. A lot of their songs would benefit from an all-vocal chorus, vocal layering & adlibs that I think J&R are perfect for. Teddy relies a lot on the Jennie & Lisa combo for their choruses but in my opinion they should've gone the Girls' Generation route and built their sound around Jennie & Rosé. I've noticed that a lot of their fans are either ex-harmonizers with Camila Cabello trauma or juvenile teens who have no knowledge of pop music and its history (but that's nearly all K-Pop fans) hence their incessant crying about equal line distribution and wanting someone to be the underdog and I believe it's had a negative impact on their music. Who gets what part should depend on whose voice best matches the sound that they're going for and who elevates it. All the successful girl groups in the history of music had that one or two stand-out members that helped shape their sound and it worked for a reason. EDIT: I should've said they aren't utilized correctly, rather than underutilized. The point still stands. submitted by /u/balmybuttons [link] [comments]
