I feel so bad for Jeon Somi right now....

Is there anything that KPop has taught you about your musical tastes/preferences in music? Im a huge music fan, growing up listening to 80s then the whole hip hop scene in the 90s, and ultimately discovering KPop mid 2010s. I notice that for me, the production is everything, while lyricism is hardly a factor at all. But, I absolutely value vocals (RV is my ult). I definitely prefer Korean tones even though I understand virtually nothing. Harmonies and electronic music form the perfect union for me. Has anyone experienced anything like this? submitted by /u/M_Prodigy [link] [comments]

I will cover 3 issue: His braids Him following Tory Lanez ’’Mocking’’ black culture by calling him Tarzann For the first one,all of you are just not it like there is a difference between culture appropriation and culture appreciatio.Over a year ago,he had said he briefly went to the US and got inspired by black artists and their styles.Unlike KIOF,he isn’t disrespectful in anyway For the second one,I feel that he shouldn’t be following him in such way as he shot someone though behind it may have some reason to it,for example take liking his music or just not knowing this whole mess at all,everyone makes mistakes! For the third one,he only named himself that as he is tan and y’all are not happy at all and saying that he thinks white people are more superior to the others and I just don’t get it,you keep cancelling K-pop idols for mere unreasonable conclusions like Young Posse even had to cancel their christmas release and when Manon said the n word,y’all were fine but when Julie and BP says it,you go as far as to hack them.I don’t understand,I feel most of the haters are not even black or Hispanic and just hate for the sake of hating Protect him and Allday Project,he doesn’t deserve it at all submitted by /u/Icy_Age_6024 [link] [comments]

Obviously recently released albums without at least a full 1 week+ tracking are not added (since you need at least a week or more for the vast majority of sales to be counted).

could be anything, e.g. number of group members, lack of promotion, past scandals, etc ! this is just for fun and not meant to cause any division between fandoms, let's please be mature! submitted by /u/Obvious-Name352 [link] [comments]

So I’m half Vietnamese and I often get complimented (especially when being with other kpop fans) as „Korean“. „You look Korean“ is such a weird compliment and I’m asking all of you to stop using it (if you do). Because what do you mean, „they look Korean“? Do you mean they look like a Kpop idol? Do you think all Koreans look like idols or actors? Do you think all Koreans look perfect? It’s just so weird and generalising and plays being Korean down as just being pretty. So again, if you compliment people by saying they look Korean, don’t. Just say they’re pretty or something, but saying someone looks Korean is just weird. submitted by /u/DaGayEnby [link] [comments]

Essentially, what do you think were certain songs, debuts, events and scandals in K-Pop that would unwittingly change the trajectory of K-pop and how it is today. Feel free to drop an explanation too! For me my picks are (in no particular order): Burning Sun SNSD's Into the New World BTS's debut Sulli's early death JYJ & EXO's members suing SM NewJean's debut Boa's success in Japan T-Ara scandal BlackPink's debut There are likely many, many more but I'll stop here. Intrigued to see your picks :) Let's all be kind! submitted by /u/angie_kiprevski [link] [comments]

I do like it. Im surprised it wasnt a Teddy-esque empty chorus and just AAVE thrown out everywhere - I might have judged a little too early. Although knowing its YG-adjacent abd Teddy is involved I am still not convinced they will stay away from it forever submitted by /u/thebarted [link] [comments]

I wrote this song for all those exchange students & expat workers in Seoul. You are not alone. submitted by /u/snuffdog_reddit [link] [comments]

Lily from NMIXX is no doubt one of the best vocalists from the 4th gen but for some reason I just can't seem to like her vocals compared to sullyoon who's technically worse than lily in vocals. Same with other groups like TXT where taehyun is the best vocalist in his group (i think?) but I can't seem to like his vocals and prefer soobin's a lot more. Is it weird to not like their vocals despite them being good vocalists and prefer the vocals of technically worse vocalists? submitted by /u/tytyty3435 [link] [comments]

Is he controversial? What are your thoughts on him? When I got into Kpop during the pandemic I saw a video or two talking about how problematic JYP is, and today also saw an old reddit post (about 5 years ago) from Kpophelp talking about JYP submitted by /u/Musicloverlord39 [link] [comments]

Thought the lyrics of both songs sounded very similar thematically, so I made a mashup and tried to make it sound like they're singing to each other at times. Hope you all enjoy :) submitted by /u/Academic_Amoeba_974 [link] [comments]

the title track "Borrowed Cat (Do the Dance)" is such a slay?? french house vibes + that addictive "I turn into a rent-a-cat" & "Do the dance, ah oui" parts got me in a chokehold ngl 🐱✨ the choreo is EVERYTHING What makes Bomb so special? – it’s a bold step forward, showing off their growth and daring charm. They’re all about “being definite about the vague” and vibin’ with your heart, which is such a mood. Here’s my quick take on each track + the MV for “Borrowed Cat” – lemme know your faves in the comments! 👇 track by track thoughts: Borrowed Cat - this beat switch??? hello?? The way it starts dreamy and then hits you with that fast beat?... Genius Little Monster - the vocals are giving everything they're supposed to give periodt Jellyous - the wordplay in the title already got me, but the song?? BOP. Oops! - certified banger, catch me replaying this 24/7 Night Picnic - perfect closing track, the vibes are immaculate also can we talk about that "do the dance" mv?? the production value, the fits, the VISUALS... they really said "we're not playing this time" stream bomb besties 🚀 submitted by /u/SectionReasonable304 [link] [comments]
