I just hope you understand I don't wanna be just friends

For the many of us who have a little fan account with zero reach I thought it could be nice to share our @ here so we can find fellow kpoppers to interact with on insta. I'm not talking about just growing numbers neither find friends to have personal talks with because that is another kind of commitment, but I am thinking about more organic interactions on social media. Personally my account as zero reach and it feels lonely at times and fanaccs I stumble upon have millions of followers and posts thousands of edits in a day which I find overwhelming and it doesn't feel human-like. I thought some of us might feel the same, so we could find other small pages to follow to make fangirling/fanboying more lively and human :) Sharing accounts under 100 followers only could be good so we can really find the small ones. I hope it's a reasonable idea, maybe it's not but I thought it was worth a try, please do share your thoughts 🫰 (I'll remove or relocate this post this if it goes against any rules or isn't in the right sub). submitted by /u/Reasonable_Matter286 [link] [comments]

I went to GD’s concert 3 days ago and spent $300 in the section 100’s (right behind floor seats) and the view was terrible and i couldn’t see shit. Its not really anything GD did himself that made me regret it but i feel like his prices were extremely unreasonable for the type of view you get. I was honestly just upset the whole show and couldnt really enjoy it. If i was just gonna look at a screen the whole time, i wouldve bought tickets in the nosebleeds. Not section 100’s bffr submitted by /u/Which_Mammoth9402 [link] [comments]

https://youtu.be/ezg4RRonlk4?si=0CB5gSaPdYcGFYdW reminded me of so much kpop fun, and how popular “Adult Ceremony” was. Nowadays there might be cross dressing for Halloween content, but it’s getting so rare. I know we get co-ed TikTok dance challenges, but it’s not the same. It was so much fun. submitted by /u/lchen12345 [link] [comments]

I just want to share random potential kpop collaborations with western artists I have thought about over time. Some of these are definitely more realistic than others. ATEEZ x Megan thee Stallion - this has to happen and I won’t take no for an answer here ATEEZ x Doechii - this would be such a sick collab 😩😩😩 omg imagine what HongJoong and Doechii could come up with together TWICE x Sabrina Carpenter - I feel like this actually will happen and it will eat down when it does TWICE x Victoria Monet - This would be so gooooood 😭😭😭 PLEASEEEEE TWICE collaborate with Victoria Monet le sserafim x chappell roan - give these ladies a retro beat and a dream and they’ll make herstory Stray Kids x Rico Nasty - I feel like they have similar vibes and would def have a good noise music moment together Katseye x Charli XCX - yeah get all these ladies in the studio NOW!! And let megan, lara, and manon have creative input!! XG x FLO - after hinata, chisa, and juria covered Flo’s song “Losing You” I immediately needed a collaboration bc them vocals would have me LEVITATING aespa x tinashe - this would be EVERYTHING!!!!! Any other collaborations y’all can think of that would be exciting to get? submitted by /u/OutrageousString2652 [link] [comments]

I miss their music a lot and i really didnt think their career would end this soon but I cant imagine any big companies taking them in after everything that happened. Its a huge liability for them and no matter how famous they are, no company is gonna be willing to take someone who violated company contracts and “went behind their backs” to publicly expose them. I wonder what their future is gonna hold submitted by /u/Which_Mammoth9402 [link] [comments]

Inspired by AHOF's fandom name reveal, of all the choices and from the poll that features lots of great fandom name, their names ended up being... FOHA. Yeahhhh safe to say it went pretty viral overnight. I know DIA also went through similar process with them being called AID, which of course the fans probably would be tired of endless AIDS joke already. Just wondering which group would suffer the least with this naming scheme? submitted by /u/EmanuelTheodorus [link] [comments]

I personally think Kpop was still kpopping before New jeans came in the picture cuz now everything sounds like a mix of Pinkpantheres and just super Y2K vibe. (I love new jeans tho) Nobody is original anymore and kpop is 80% english and 20% korean now. No hate to that but I just miss when kpop had mainly korean lyrics and they’d only throw random ass english words here and there. submitted by /u/Which_Mammoth9402 [link] [comments]

Most of us already know the word sasaeng (사생팬), right? It literally means “privacy-invading fan.” It’s a shortened word in Korean: 사생활 침해 팬 → “sasaeng.” Basically, these are fans who cross every boundary like showing up at idols’ homes, following their cars, or even calling their personal phones. Obviously it’s considered harassment in Korea too, and yes, it is illegal cuz it’s basically stalking. What blows my mind is: how do sasaengs even get idols’ private info in the first place? There are rumors that shady insiders sometimes sell phone numbers or addresses like a telecom employee, a rogue manager, or even a “friend” who betrays trust. Nobody knows for sure, but clearly some of the info is real. That’s why you’ll sometimes see idols getting random calls during Instagram lives and snapping, “Stop calling me!” Imagine strangers blowing up your phone or standing outside your house every day. That’s terrifying. Idols are humans too. No one should have to live like that. Has anyone actually witnessed sasaeng behavior or know how they operate? Like how do they get all the personal info and know all the schedule. Personally, I’ve never seen them in real life, but it honestly feels like one of the darkest parts of K-pop fandom that never goes away. submitted by /u/SignificantElk5574 [link] [comments]

First it was people reporting lara and her family to ICE. Now some stays are reporting Soobin since he is in the US. And before yall start with the "Oh its just a joke or just ragebait" defenses you dont joke about that. Real people are losing their families and friends and are scared of even leaving their houses because of this. This is not something you joke about and its not something you weaponize in fanwars. Thats absolutely disgusting submitted by /u/icouto [link] [comments]

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how a lot of idols lose fans, not just because of their company’s mismanagement or lack of promotions, but also because of the way some of their own solo stans and akgaes behave. When you look at fandom spaces, it’s honestly wild how many people say they stopped stanning a member, not because they stopped liking the idol, but because they got so tired of dealing with that member’s solo fans. It’s ironic, because akgaes think they’re “protecting” their fave by tearing down the group or other members, but all they really do is make casual fans and even group stans resentful. Solo stans create this super hostile environment where everything has to be about their fave. If another member gets attention, it’s suddenly “unfair distribution” or “the company sabotaging X.” That negativity ends up in every conversation. People don’t want to support an idol if supporting them means constantly being dragged into fights with the rest of the fandom. And you know what's the worst part? It makes their fave look bad. Even if the idol is a kind, humble person, people start associating them with the behavior of their akgaes. “Oh, so and so's stans are always rude, they act like ___ is better than the group and they can’t share space with anyone else.” That reputation sticks unfortunately. On top of that, akgaes shrink their idol’s potential audience. Instead of encouraging group fans to also support solo activities, they push people away with their elitism. In my opinion, a healthy fandom helps an idol grow, while an akgae driven fandom isolates them. I get being protective of your fave, but the constant “only ___ matters” attitude just backfires. At the end of the day, no idol exists in a vacuum. Most of them want their group to succeed, they value their members, and they rely on group activities to stay relevant. If akgaes keep sabotaging those relationships, they’re not helping their fave shine. They’re slowly cutting off the support system that allows them to have a career in the first place. So honestly, sometimes it’s not just the company or the idol’s lack of charm that makes them fade. Sometimes, it’s their own fandom shooting them in the foot. And before anyone jumps in the comments saying “just get off social media and avoid fan spaces!!”, that’s not really the point. Being in the fandom is part of how idols get noticed, grow their careers, and connect with people. If all the spaces are full of negativity and gatekeeping, it’s not just about one fan logging off. It ends up affecting how the idol is seen and how many people even want to support them. I'm curious to know what you all think. Have you ever found yourself less inclined to follow an idol because of how their solo stans act, or because of negative experiences you've had with their fandom? submitted by /u/ResponsibleUsual7536 [link] [comments]
