How do you call the members of your group as a collective?

I don't care for BTS at all, but some of the takes I've seen on my feed from that sub are borderline insane. This whole snark sub drama has been happening for a while now and I didn't really gaf, but now I'm starting to understand why fans were upset. That sub is literally unfiltered hate (yes, hate not criticism). I saw a post calling a BTS member ugly and one criticizing an interaction with a fan. I don't stan BTS at all (multi but Aespa and NCT are my ults) but even I was disgusted at the barely disguised vitriol. It's one thing to dislike a group or an idol, it's another thing to be an active piece of shit. Do these people not realize they are referring to actual human beings with feelings? Like they've got me out here feeling bad for a bunch of grown men I don't even support, that's how bad that sub was. Anyway rant over. Sorry to all the Armys who had to see that shit. (and Blinks too but thankfully I haven't come across the BP hate sub). submitted by /u/CrazyGailz [link] [comments]

I know its been posted before, but this time as Canadian and especially with my fellow Mexican fans. It extra hurts this year to see TXT again skipping over Canada, Mexico, Latin America and so much more. Because no self respecting Mexican, Latin American or Canadian is ever going to step foot in America again. Like come on don't they see the news we can't even cross the border without hassarment or being detained for weeks if America boarder agent doesn't like you. I guess Hybe only wants rich fans to see their bands live. I know I am not alone on this. Thanks for letting me rant. submitted by /u/allbluemarimo [link] [comments]

Honestly, it breaks my heart to see that "I Miss My..." and especially DOREMI aren’t getting even a fraction of the attention they deserve. PURPLE KISS came back with such a beautiful concept — stunning visuals, a super creative choreography, and a title track that blends nostalgia and freshness in such a unique way. The whole EP is solid, with a strong identity, incredible vocals, and top-tier production. But the views, streams, and sales… just don’t reflect that at all. And I can’t help but feel worried about the group’s future. We’ve seen how RBW has handled similar situations before, and I’m honestly scared that this could be a sign the end is getting closer. The girls are giving it their all, but without proper backing from the company and the public not catching on… what more can they do? I just really hope this isn’t the beginning of the end. PURPLE KISS deserves so much better. Now more than ever, they need our support. submitted by /u/Snowyy_ok [link] [comments]

Just want to be clear: this is NOT a doompost. I just wanted to share my thoughts. Itzy are FAR from unsuccessful, they're in a stable position and have cemented themselves in the industry now. Also, sorry if this is worded weirdly, English is not my first language ❤ Before GWBG was released, a lot of people were hoping that they would release a song like imaginary friend. But imaginary friend was not as successful as their previous releases that were louder, chantier and more dance focused. It was arguably one of their best received tracks till date, but the numbers showed their past releases were more marketable. Imaginary friend was a song with a genre they never tried before as well, I think that may have been a factor in why Gold was released first, so that they had a title track that was stronger to promote and fall back on. Itzy going back to their roots and producing fast-paced dance music like GWBG (which I like to think is a song that could be Not Shy and Untouchable's baby lol) instead of an elegant, slow song like IF was really expected and a good decision as it shows off their strengths (dance and performance) so well. Their vocals are very stable live despite all that dancing because the song is in their range so not difficult for them to sing. This way, they can get praise and attention for their performing whilst avoiding criticism for unstable vocals. Their MV was gorgeous and the message of the song was consistent with their past releases + had the message they wanted to convey. The song is so ITZY coded, and it's getting annoying seeing people pretend they're concerned about the girls and use that "pity" to drag them down as individuals. ITZY have always released this kind of music. The only reason people bash them and want the "old itzy" back is because the girls THEMSELVES have changed from 6 years ago. They're genuinely so unproblematic and clearly work so hard that it's sad to see the mean comments that bring them down that are being justified because 'every release since sneakers is trash' when those people probably haven't listened to any music past 2022 to even find out. Anyways, sorry for the rant :) I'm aware that there's bigger problems in the world, just wanted to share my thoughts lol submitted by /u/Gold_Meaning3688 [link] [comments]

There has been a lot of discourse from IVE fans calling out KPOP Demon Hunters for not crediting or acknowledging IVE for being used heavily as a reference. Not only are the songs Golden and I Am quite similar but the song’s visual sequences in the movie seem to take heavy references from the I Am and Love Dive music videos as well (lots of similiar shots and imagery relating to airplanes, dancing on airplanes, riding in a flying car, billboards, the catwalk, and more). Because there are so many similarities, people have been been making IVE x KDH edits and mashups from day one points to note: -some think it’s unnecessary to give credit because Huntrix is not a real group \ -some have accused IVE of being clout chasers for making a tiktok/short covering Golden with I Am’s choreo instead of with Golden’s choreo (since day one, a ton of people have been covering Golden with I Am’s choreo because of the similarities)\ -some people don’t see any similarities at all in the songs or music videos or think they are too common to be acknowledged \ -Director Maggie Kang has allegedly been very active on social media talking about inspirations and has been frequently interacting with and shouting out many groups that have talked about the movie or covered the songs. Meanwhile IVE members have also mentioned the movie multiple times and have also covered Golden and Soda Pop\ -Many popular groups like BP, Twice, Itzy, BTS, Stray Kids, Monsta X, Ateez, etc have been cited as influences \ -some IVE fans have started attacking/shading Maggie Kang and the movie on social media\ -some are calling it plagiarism (maybe as a joke but idk) personally, i won’t go as far as to say it’s plagiarism. it’s supposedly a mishmash of a lot of different things. but as an IVE fan i kinda do think that A LOT of the references are from IVE? At least enough similarities for an acknowledgement or mention from the creators right? I AM was a pivotal era that brought a lot of success but also a lot of tears and struggles for IVE (Rei went on hiatus, wonyoung got multiple stitches from injuries while filming the music video, multiple members have talked about what a difficult time it was, etc). it would be nice for them and their team’s artistry and hardwork be acknowledged by the people who are currently seeing such incredible success from it. I think it also would calm down a lot of Dives who feel so strongly about it. HOWEVER i also think some fans are overstepping by cyberbullying the creators because of it. thoughts? do you think IVE is being blatantly ignored? should they be acknowledged? or do you think fans are overreacting? and is it parasocial to care about how art is referenced? submitted by /u/yj_12345678 [link] [comments]

Okay, confession time: I always knew ATEEZ was impressive, especially considering they’re from a smaller company, but I never really bothered to checked out their full discography. My first introduction to them was through Guerilla, and honestly, I didn’t love it (I still don't), so I kind of just left it at that. Then the Golden Hour trilogy happened, and wow, I am hooked. The title tracks from that era have been on repeat for weeks, and it finally pushed me to dive deeper into their music. And honestly, I can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on them this whole time. I regret not paying attention sooner, especially since they’ve had concerts in my country recently, and I missed the chance to see them live. 😬 Some of my faves now are: Cyberpunk, Answer, Treasure, (the entire Golden Hour trilogy, obviously), HALAZIA, and Dancing with Butterfly Wings. And the thing is, I heard snippets from HALAZIA ages ago, but I wasn’t really impressed by it. Now, I can’t stop listening to it. The choreo keeps you glued to the screen as well, by the way. Long story short: don’t write off groups after only listening to a handful of their songs. You might miss out big time. submitted by /u/o-Themis-o [link] [comments]

Hi ! I discovered cosmosy like most people thanks to their performance of Lucky=one with the albino elf concept, and frankly, I quite like them. I loved the styling, but also the celtic elements in the sound, and most of all, De_Hana's voice (I think that is the element that had me on a chokehold). So I look them up, and found ziggy=ziggy, which I think I like but found quite disturbing at some moments, but I like the risk taking aspect and I love a good dark concept. For fun, I tracked every couple of days their monthly listeners and stream count, and they had such an amazing growth for one of the least known group ive followed since the beginning. Lucky=one just pushed them to small fame, maybe not incredible, but satisfying for a japanese group that hasnt exactly defined their concept or even their identity (début had japanese, English and Korean, Lucky one was entirely English and last release majorly in korean) and that comes from an unknown company. That performance did go to some extent viral, and I am so proud of them. They released today a new song "BabyDontCry=BreakingTheLove" (interesting way of naming songs I guess...). I think I prefer the first half of the song to the second half, but this is very experimental, and I am excited to hear more of their musical projects. Two things is undeniable : they can SING and have really good sp (Himesha has something in her eyes that is hypnotising). Check them out and give me your opinion ! I'll link some mv/performance. Enjoy !

The defendant even cited the use of COEX outdoor billboards as evidence of copying. They also claimed that personal photos taken by members in front of the Eiffel Tower and uploaded to SNS were proof of copying. They argued that a group photo of five members standing in a straight line was evidence of plagiarism. None of these can be considered the defendant's exclusive property." They added, "If we follow the defendant's logic, even NewJeans' concept photos could be dismissed as mere copies of someone else's work, a regrettable conclusion." Yes, you read that right. Plagiarism. Of a tourist landmark. In Paris. What’s next, having the same hair colour is plagiarism? Oh, wait... submitted by /u/thebarted [link] [comments]
