Hello everyone! We, your hosts u/Zypker125, u/kawaii_mokona and u/kirakiranatsu are excited to start the sequel to the most chaotic, voted fan favorite, the 1st K-Pop Grab Bag Rate, this time aptly titled The 2nd K-Pop Grab Bag Rate!

Deadline: July 28th (Monday), 11:59 Pacific (Link to a timezone converter) How the songs were selected: This rate was entirely user-submitted by the public! We had a public song submission form on r/kpoprates, and everyone who submitted the form were able to get at least one song of their choosing on the songlist! Since our raterbase has increased since last year, we have placed restrictions on who got the songs in. 2 slots have been allocated to the most active participants of r/kpoprates (hosts, people who have participated in most rates since last Grab Bag Rate, Top 5/Bottom 5 predictions as well as those who have participated in our Discord Spotlight of the Week activity). Now, without further ado, let's introduce the 60 songs that were selected for this rate! If you want to read the comments submitters left for their songs, you can read them here First, we'll go over the songs by "submitters who want to have their names revealed with their songs at the start", ordered reverse alphabetically by submitter's username and then reverse alphabetically by the artist's name: .

Rules: You must listen to and assign a score to EVERY song listed. If your ballot is missing any scores it will not be eligible and you'll be sent a message asking you to fill in the missing scores. Each song should be assigned a score between 1 to 10. Decimals up to one point are allowed but any further is a no-no – 6.9 is fine, but 6.99 is not. You can use ONE 0 and ONE 11 for the entirety of the rate, for your least favorite and most favorite song respectively - they are optional but HIGHLY encouraged if you feel some type of way about any given song! Comments are also encouraged but not required for such scores (except if you give a song a 0). Comments are encouraged and much appreciated (but not required, except for if you give a 0) and can be added to any song by simply typing after the numerical score, like so: HDnG - 4Shadows: 10 this is the modern masterpiece that proves that small groups do not need big budgets to put out fantastic songs like this one! This is the ONLY correct way to format a comment. Please do not include colons (ex. 9: I stan!), dashes (ex. 3.3 - This song sucks), or any other symbol after your score/before your comment as it breaks the program. DO NOT SABOTAGE! Hopefully this shouldn’t be a problem as we trust you guys (famous last words) but we reserve the right to reject your ballot + ask you to change your scores and/or leave comments, especially for scores on the low end. Ultimately, please just rate all of the songs truthfully – this will make the whole process a lot easier and more fun for everyone involved! If you want to change scores or add comments at any point, don't hesitate to message this Reddit account (u/KpopRates)! For this rate specifically, we have a ballot average minimum of 3.50. In addition, if your ballot average is between 3.50-4.50, you must leave comments on your lower scores (which we define as any score that's a 3 or lower). {Do not worry about having to calculate your ballot average, once you submit your ballot, we will tell you if you need to make changes to your ballot for it to be accepted.} For this rate, if you use a 0, you are required to leave a comment next to the song you gave a 0. Since a 0 is a powerful score/statement to give, we want to see why people gave songs 0s. SUBMITTING A BALLOT: Link to Reddit Chat to send in scores As Reddit is (unfortunately) moving away from the private messaging system in favor of utilizing the Reddit chat system, we are forced to also adopt the Reddit chat system for messaging. You can make a copy of either the Google Docs or Pastebin ballot templates below, add your scores on your local copy/file, and send the link to your local copy/file in your Reddit Chat message to u/kpoprates. Alternatively, if you have Discord, you can message the link to your ballot to either of the rate hosts: @Zypker124, @kawaii_mokona or @kirakiranatsu. Google Docs ballot template Pastebin ballot template If the private message link is not working (or your private message exceeds the character count), please use the Google Doc template (make a copy of it to your Google Drive) for your ballot and DM it to u/KpopRates. If you message us a link to your Google Doc, PLEASE double check your permissions so that "anyone who has the link can view the document" (since the default is otherwise). Top/Bottom 5 Predictions Form Google spreadsheet template that you can use to calculate averages, record scores, and make predictions DUE DATE: Tuesday, July 28th, by 11:59 PM Pacific - This will be the FINAL deadline, no extensions will be given this time!

Do you think it's worth it to debut under company that doesn't have any successful groups? Yesterday I checked aporox. amounts of groups that debuted in every generation. To be honest numbers shocked me like over 400 groups from 3rd gen the same over 400 with 4th gen. Why do you think young artists decides to go for unknown agencies? If it's JYP, Hybe, SM or YG people will hear about new groups easily but other then that I can't name many companies that actually can debut and promote successful artists maybe WAKEONE Ent. (Kep1er) or KQ Ent. (Ateez). Do you think there is some shady things going on with less known companies? For example kids are being tricked into believing that they will be successful idols but cmpanies instead wants to put them in debt and get money form small amounts of fans that they will attract? What are your thoughts? submitted by /u/TruthApprehensive304 [link] [comments]

Okay, let’s talk about this. I’m not even talking about the psycho sasaeng fans who send threats I’m talking about those stans who act like they’re so chill and "nontoxic" but are clearly faking it. Like, the minute an idol dating rumor drops, they go from "forget him, I want her" or "omg she’s our girlfriend now!" to pretending they’re cool with it when we all know they're dying inside. Like let’s be honest for a second. I’m straight, but for someone like Lalisa? Yeah, I was ready to throw my whole life away for her. Then the Frédéric Arnault dating rumors popped up and I legit wanted to evaporate. My queen??? With the son of a luxury brand CEO?? I couldn’t even process it. And don’t even get me started on when she was seen with Adam from Maroon 5. I couldn’t even watch the music video, I had to go listen on Spotify with my screen turned off like a clown. Now it’s happening again. Billie Eilish is apparently taken and I’m supposed to just smile and be supportive? No. I’m gonna sit here and grieve in silence like any normal delusional fan. Stop expecting people to be all mature and clap like we’re proud moms at a wedding. Sometimes we just wanna cry. Let’s normalize being a little bit dramatic when our fave starts dating, without pretending we’re totally okay and suddenly “in love” with their partner. You don’t need to start shipping them. You don’t need to act like it’s the best news ever. It’s okay to be in your feelings about it as long as you’re not being weird or sending hate. Just stop faking it. We see through it. submitted by /u/Starpeachhhh- [link] [comments]

For me the choices are quite easy. Ah Solar my bias in MMM. I-Dle* (they are talented not only on stage but even producing and creating). Minnie as bias NMIXX (finally a great new vocal group). Haewon (can't live without the meme queen) Red Velvet (with MMM my fav group since I began to listen to kpop in 2015). Irene 100% submitted by /u/BioNeon83 [link] [comments]

[...] The court also dismissed the argument that the activity ban would cause a prolonged hiatus for the members, stating, "This is merely self-inflicted damage resulting from their refusal to comply with the valid exclusive contract. On the contrary, the creditor stands to suffer losses due to their actions." It emphasized, "As parties to the exclusive contract, the debtors have a fundamental obligation to comply with its terms. Requiring them to adhere to the contract until the final ruling in the main lawsuit (confirming the validity of the exclusive contract) does not infringe on their freedom to pursue their profession or artistic expression." submitted by /u/thebarted [link] [comments]

I've been active in kpop spaces since 2021 and a fan since 2019 but I swear to god I've never seen even this community reach these levels of toxicity. Yes,the kpop community has always been toxic,that's not news but I feel like it became completely intolerable since last year. We're at a point where everyone absolutely loathes anyone who isn't their favorite group,any public move an idol makes,especially a woman who belongs in a group the kpop community currently dislikes launches a year long hate campaign and it feels like you can't enjoy kpop anymore unless you completely distance yourself from the kpop community ala no internet access. I damn myself for not having left kpop spaces yet but someday I want to go back to the way I enjoyed kpop in 2019 and 2020. Yes,I was a kid back then but the way I consumed and enjoyed kpop turned out to be far healthier for today's standards anyways submitted by /u/Alive-Pitch-9180 [link] [comments]

Maybe it's just me, but I am so tired of idols, whether these are solo artist or groups, announcing their tour dates like 2 months in advance. It gives people so little time to prepare. Especially if you live so far away to the CLOSEST venue. Not only are you fighting over concert tickets for MAYBE a good view, but then you would have to consider how you're getting there, where to stay, and how much money you would need to save up. As an adult, sure you may have adult money, but we also have bills to pay. How can we prep with so little time in advance to save for the event? And what about kids who are into kpop? Like, you would have to get a group together, convince your parents to take off and take you, etc. This really first started it when Taemin announced his Ephermal Gaze tour like with only 2 months from the date in New York??? Really??? And now, with G-Dragon FINALLY announcing his U.S./ Europe part of his tour which doesn't start until August??? These were 2 idols that I wanted to see so badly (got into kpop in the 2nd gen back in 2010), and it annoys me so much that these companies don't give fans that much time to prepare for these tours. We all want to have a good time. submitted by /u/AdhesivenessOnly2485 [link] [comments]

I know some of you might be confused as to why I put "again" but before RUNEXT and hybe she was in another group and like 4iren hasn't debuted yet. Jihyun was a member of HOWZ it was going to be a girl group under HOW Entertainment the same company as Wang Ke (produce48) was in. Jihyun was the youngest in HOWZ and HOWZ didn't debut the group went radio silent which left us fans wondering for a long time if they did disband. The last updates was in September 2020. Now Jihyun didn't debut or win a spot in illit after RUNEXT she is now a member of 4iren which has been radio silent too and one person on kprofiles commented on siren's profile 'Rip 4IREN' I do admit when I saw Jihyun on RUNEXT I was surprised and a part of me did hope she would of debuted or gotten a good rank in the show. Idk I give i needed to type this out and wonder if anyone else has this same worry submitted by /u/sunshineofkindness [link] [comments]

aespa never really misses when it comes to concept trailers imo and the styling for Dirty Work has been so on point for each member. I'm not even a big fan of teeth jewelry in general but these grills have got me OBSSESSED. SM stylists may fumble every now and then but they knew exactly what they were doing here. The girls are gonna eat this shit up! 27th can't get here soon enough. submitted by /u/beelzebub2099 [link] [comments]

Why is their music video/streams plummeting from icy, not shy, wannabe era too now with born to be, gold, girls will be girls? It’s like it’s been a slow regression over time and I feel so sorry for the girls, yunas comments kill me submitted by /u/EthanFoster10 [link] [comments]
