Here are the photos so, I'm normally not a big concept pictures person in the sense that for me they are always a nice bonus, but I don't care if I don't like them because for me what matters the most is the music. And these days I rarely get excited by concept pics. HOWEVER, txt just dropped their Starlight concept pics and something shifted inside me. I'M OBSESSED! Idk if it's the gorgeous sparkly makeup or that I've been on a huge sci-fi kick lately but I'm just sooo in love with these. They all look so good and the concept feels so fresh and cool! I just feel like I need to scream about it from the rooftops. I'm so excited for this comeback! submitted by /u/jujubadetrigo [link] [comments]

I've seen discourse on Tiktok about this and am curious if it translates to other socials as well. With all kpop tours I usually see the trend of "bias before and after a concert". When attending a show someone says their bias and then it cuts to after the show where they either repeat the same bias or change it. Most of the videos I've seen have the person changing their bias. I had never seen backlash over this until recently. Most of the comments were negative towards those doing the trend. They usually say something along the lines of their bias is sacred to them, and they choose a bias based on their character and personality. And that allowing a 2-3 hour concert to change a bias is fickle and sad. Basically, implying the person doing the trend is a lesser fan and that they only value the members for superficial reasons since they switch favorites so quickly. Every video I see of this trend gets more comments similar to that. It got me thinking, I do understand where they're coming from. There are a lot of "jokes/trends" I see that are in poor taste regarding kpop idols, but I don't think this is one. It is a little bittersweet seeing a video with someone biasing a less popular member and switching to the most popular member. But it's just a fun TikTok trend. I think reading into it at that level veers a little too far into parasocialism and tries to enforce a fan hierarchy. Do you think positively or negatively of this trend? submitted by /u/ButterflyMinute9605 [link] [comments]

https://youtu.be/DE8qE5idqdQ?si=pi14rpSkIbJ0Tmzu Nmixx went to a show called "live wire" where they performed a couple of songs, one of that was "dash" where they performed with practically 0 backtrack, just a live band and the background harmonies. You can even hear member like Bae struggling at 0:38 hitting the low notes, but she gave us an adlib instead, apart from that they were amazing It's nice to hear no backtrack from time to time, also there seems to be little vocal processing maybe just a little but nothing to extreme, I hope we get more shows like that! submitted by /u/sueueu6e36 [link] [comments]

Today we go three big releases (Ateez - In Your Fantasy, Blackpink - Jump, Twice - This Is For) and 2/3 of the songs are all in english and Jump is mostly in english. What happened to the KOREAN pop I was promised? It's okay to make all English songs sometimes, I understand but the reason why I got into k-pop is because it's not like western music. What happened to real k-pop? I feel like we are losing the spark. Does anyone else feel this way or am I alone? submitted by /u/Direct_Tumbleweed607 [link] [comments]

I was looking at their posts from whiplash vs dirty work and maybe I'm reading too much into this, but the girls just don't seem to like this new concept very much. With whiplash they all looked cvnty, but it also looked like they were just feeling the whole concept in general. With Dirty Work they're still cvnty, it just feels a little more forced? I'm not sure if I'm wording this right. submitted by /u/short-asian-gal [link] [comments]

I have always heard that YG groups are dominant in YouTube and I think that used to be the case till 2023, after that Youtube changed it algorithm to favour shorts creators (The top 50 YT subscribed channel have atleast 5 channels which only upload shorts). This algorithm change hurt music videos the most, Kpop being so reliant on YT for reaching new audience through their glamourous music videos and dominating it with 100's of millions of views with fans mass streaming them made it seem like kpop was on an upward trajectory but after that algorithm change kpop industry got hit the most. Also YouTube has cut down on bot views meaning one can only watch a video max of 5 times (as far as I remember reading about this 2-3 months ago, I don't remember where I reading it) so I think kpop fans should slow down on this mass streaming because it's not adding any views and you are wasting time. One another thing to add don't comment "emoji" is also a very dumb thing, emoji does not freeze views, YT has just changed the algorithm to favour shorts to compete with TikTok and in the wakeup of short attention span of people. Now coming back to the topic YG groups were dominant force on YouTube as they YG had the main kpop market SEA on lock with people mass streaming the videos but now that mass streaming is filtered as not views by youtube and does not add to streams YG has resorted to insane amounts of ad views. Just as SM created this best vocalists in kpop superiority for their fans to brag about, HYBE with best performers in kpop to brag about, YG stans had most amount of YT views superiority that they used to brag about and this was also the selling point of YG groups. Now that Youtube has favoured short content over long form content YG has to rely on insane amount of ADS to maintain because this was large part of YG fans culture, being dominant on YouTube. I understand doing it for Music videos, Babymonster Hot sauce has insane amount of ads, but for dance practice video you cannot tell me this isn't their way still maintaining this facade of YG groups are dominant on YouTube. Izna label and TBL groups also uses a lot of ads, TBL also hides likes on their channel like you cannot be more obvious. I think all the kpop labels need to stop buying ads because in all honesty ads don't bring in much fans but a good song or a good album with your traditional promotion tactics, like performing anywhere for fans for free during album promotion, even 1 free show in 2-3 countries just like how popstars used to do it will bear better results and increase fan engagement than this tradition of buying insane amount of ads to maintain this facade. Facade why? Because this not bearing results in ticket sales, Stacy and Babymonster ticket sales were on sale as low as 40 usd because they were not selling out. While one tour that just got announced has queue of over 100k on ticketmaster, that group could literally sell out stadiums in all venues and it's their 1st tour. All this is because of great marketing by their team and not pumping money in ads but actual traditional marketing, I am not going to name the group because than it would seem like I am trying to drag other groups and uplift that group which is not the intention of my post. I just made this post because whenever I see a kpop music video fans are in the comments talking about let's stream, do not comment emojis, here to stream after sleeping like it's some kind of job (crazy thing is it's counting as bot views and not registering lol) Also there are certain group of people dragging some groups for ads (izna comments are filled with such drags), some (itzy) for low views while YG is maintaining it's facade and it's their fans dragging group for views while YG is running insane amount of ads. submitted by /u/tooshydooshy [link] [comments]

But, some people from a certain fandom are shitting on TZUYU saying that its misogynistic that she credited a boy group for the global success even though Twice just released a song for all the ladies around the world who have gone through injustice. So ig from now on, crediting any male even if they have done something that deserves to be credited is misogynistic submitted by /u/hellhound_1505 [link] [comments]

I've seen many times that, when someone says they don't like a song that is out of the ordinary (Jump, Gnarly, Sneakers...), there is always someone telling them "it's a shame you can't see the funny side of the song" or that people "don't understand funny music." "People doednt understeand fun music" well, people has different tastes. For example, I loved Cheshire from Itzy/Signal from Twice and other people hated it. Its not "not understeanding fun music" or "being plain and boring" its having other tastes. Stop using the term "fun music" to spread hate when someone says something that goes against your tastes. submitted by /u/_issio [link] [comments]

KPop Demon Hunters’ Songwriter Reveals Music And Song Inspirations One of the tracks written by EJAE and her writing partner, Mark Sonnenblick, has been getting a lot of attention for its sound and meaning behind the music. The song “Your Idol,” sung by The Saja Boys in their demon form, highlights the fandom’s obsession with them. She reveals the track was inspired by EXO’s songs “MAMA” and “Obsession.” EJAE recalls receiving the instrumental track from THEBLACKLABEL and executive music producer Ian Eisendrath with the EXO references and began working on the lyrics – with THEBLACKLABEL songwriters KUSH and VINCE. https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurasirikul/2025/07/01/kpop-demon-hunters-songwriter-reveals-music-and-song-inspirations/?utm_source=chatgpt.com submitted by /u/abraacadabrau [link] [comments]

It is so weird but idk why I want to watch it again and again. It's funny I can't help it🧍‍♀️. Plus the scene in the second chorus when everyone is vibing and stoping according to the beat, it's so satisfying. Also the cgi thing gives it dark color which looks cool but weird at the same time. Idk man I am starting to like the mv. I have never liked blackpink mvs that much cause of lack of transitions and uniqueness and their mv sets have always been pretty but This one is weirdly satisfying to me 😃 I always liked mvs with this ai concepts like this, aespa's supernova also had this weird ai thing and I liked it too. submitted by /u/Klutzy-Advisor2003 [link] [comments]

I am just a girlie excited to know their songs are inspired by Exo's music! As a kpop stan since 2008, my young heart is filled with joy that more older groups are getting recognized and having comebacks! And just how much kpop has grown since then! submitted by /u/naymerz9 [link] [comments]
