Love the variety content that groups put out and showcases personality (individualism) which is fantastic. I have been put onto leniverse/le sserafim and run bts. Any other content I should dive into? submitted by /u/PeaceNo5523 [link] [comments]

for those of you who don’t know, this week, ateez officially got their very first billboard hot 100 entry! their latest title track, lemon drop, entered the chart at #69 (obligatory “nice”). this has been a goal for the members for a long time—mingi, wooyoung, and yeosang have all mentioned it in the past as a goal for 2025, and after the news came out, every single member came online and expressed their gratitude in one way or another. like seonghwa said on lee mujin service, ateez has always reached new heights in a slow but steady manner, and it’s great to see that they’ve fulfilled yet another one of their goals in their 7th year. ateez has always been strong with their physical sales. despite all the problems with the physical album this comeback—low quality packaging, production issues leading to delayed shipments, etc—the # of units sold in the us was the highest for any kpop group in 2025 (105k units), allowing ateez to debut at #2 on the billboard 200 for the 3rd time (and for the 7th time in the top 10). a lot of fandoms are talking about how ateez were able to chart on the hot 100 mainly due to the cd sales rather than streams. personally, i think kq taking advantage of atiny’s physical buying power was smart. ateez may not have many casual listeners, but they do have a strong core fanbase who push for these achievements for them. for lemon drop, they had 4 separate cd versions, only for half of the members. many atinys across various platforms advocated for fans to buy these, even purchasing for international atinys in the hopes that ateez would end up on the chart. i assume the other half of the members will have cd versions for golden hour part 3 (in your fantasy edition) that they just announced today. i do wonder how this will shift hot 100 charting for kpop groups going forward. kq is not the first company to push for the hot 100 through cd sales (hybe did the same for le sserafim’s hot with 6 versions, for example), but now that ateez has successfully charted, perhaps other companies will try to do the same. cd sales do make up 35-45% of the criteria for charting on hot 100 so i don’t think it’s a fraudulent tactic by any means. it’s also important to note that ateez also had many digital sales/downloads for lemon drop thanks to their strong fanbase. overall, congrats to ateez and atinys, and don’t forget to tune into ateez’s upcoming repackage album, golden hour part 3 (in your fantasy edition), out july 11th 🫶 submitted by /u/Complex-Sherbet3201 [link] [comments]

This tour has been awful from the moment the tickets were released and GA was a thing ...also for $800 (in CAD give or take). Every single stop has had issues, people aren't getting their VIP experience just yesterday they closed the doors on people who arrived early and were waiting to get in for VIP in DC.They then had to cancel the show before the first encore because of how many people were throwing up and passing out. I don't understand how we're so many stops in and it's still so incredibly disorganized that people are missing the first half of the concert. The security staff have been nothing but rude and inappropriate to Stays at some stops, having people kicked out of pit because they found someone who weasled their way in "more attractive", not helping fans who are passed out and over charging for water are just some of the things that have happened. This is of course at NO FAULT to SKZ they handed out their OWN water to fans because security were doing nothing. I hope JYPE chooses another tour company because this tour is incomparable to the Maniac tour. submitted by /u/3rachannie [link] [comments]

For those who don’t know, Stray Kids are currently on their world tour(DominATE) They’ve already finished the shows in Asia, Oceania (Australia), and Latam, and right now they’re wrapping up the North American leg. Next month, they’ll head to Europe for the final part. I think this tour is really tough on the members, especially because Felix has a herniated disc a condition he’s been dealing with for years now. He’s getting treatment and trying to take things slow, and he’s been advised to tone it down, but of course it’s still really difficult for him. I think the North American dates are especially the hardest, considering there are 10 shows with very few rest days in between. Honestly, this tour has been full of issues. I’m not sure if it was this bad during the Maniac tour last year, but this time it’s crazy. In Peru, for example, there were fans who couldn’t even get inside the venue in time. People were stuck outside while Stray Kids were already performing their third song (or around that point). I remember reading Peruvian Stays posts about how poorly the situation was handled and how disappointed they were with the organization. There was also an overcrowding issue because they sold way too many PIT tickets more than the area could hold. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt, but the boys looked clearly stressed on stage trying to manage the situation. What’s crazy to me is how many times even this time it was Stray Kids who had to make sure people were safe. It’s really admirable of them, you can tell they genuinely care about their fans, but honestly, it suck that they’re the ones doing the staff job. Then came the North America leg, which in my opinion has been even worse. A lot of the venues were baseball stadiums and these places just aren’t built for concerts. This caused thousands of fans to be stuck outside(again) even after the show had started. In Washington DC, there were even thousands of VIP ticket holders who missed most of the soundcheck because of this! Many people also complained about the sound and the bad visibility. Just recently in Washington, the concert had to be cut short because of extreme heat. Apparently over 200 people fainted. It was around 100-110°F (about 40-43°C perceived with the really high humidity) and the environment became dangerous. Honestly, I’m grateful they canceled it. I’d rather have the show stopped than see it end in tragedy. I really appreciate Stray Kids for putting their health and the fans’ safety first, because it looked like a serious emergency. But all of this has made me genuinely anxious about the European leg. It’ll be July, and it gets very hot in Europe too. I’m an anxious person in general, and even though I love concerts, the months leading up to them are always stressful for me. Hearing about everything that’s been going wrong is making things worse. I know rationally that checking social media constantly isn’t helping, but I just can’t stop. I feel like the more I know, the more control I have over the situation even if that sounds a bit irrational since they make me feel also worse. The idea of not having control over how things will go gives me so much anxiety. I keep researching everything, probably more than I should, just to make sure things might go better. One thing that kinda “comforts” me is that the stadiums in Europe are mostly football/concert stadiums, of course it won’t be perfect, they’re still stadiums, not arenas it will be really hot anyway, I just hope they will handle things better. Still, all of this has made me realize I have to worry not only about rain and storms, but also about extreme heat that could cancel everything. I am trying to be at least neutral but it’s really not easy right now, right now I hope that the last 2 dates in North America will be better. submitted by /u/ForceApprehensive597 [link] [comments]

I came across several videos crowds gathering inside the sm building to take footage of trainees. At the beginning it used to be way less but it's starting to mimic airport crowds and honestly I'm concerned. Some of them are minors too, left alone to these crazy people morning and very late at night. Each day they get progressively worse, they get very close to the trainees, bump into them. Regarding sm's history with saesangs i just can't fathom it. I heard how they have their own staff sell info of artists & trainees to ss idk about that tho, seems crazy. How is it that years went by, internal things changed like ceo, centers, staff etc but they still can't manage this issue? submitted by /u/borawonderland [link] [comments]

As the title says I recently discovered a hidden love for Kpop! I'm looking for recommendations from you all, for a place to start I enjoyed songs like Lemon drop and Crazy form by ATEEZ, 1,2,3,4,5 by Stray Kidz, Air by Yeji, and Lucky one by Cosmosy. Sorry if this is a weird request but I'm dying for more stuff! For the record I like melodic but aggressive songs! Oh and that movie that recently came out Kpop Demon Hunters? Idol was hella catchy for me I loved it <3 stuff like that is what I seek thank you!! submitted by /u/Ravenclawthewarrior [link] [comments]

At this point I'm sure we've all seen cases of fans who are everywhere or mostly everywhere their favorite idol is. They go to almost all their concerts, they hog the fancalls (which is annoying, of course), and basically seek out ways to interact with them. It's gotten to the point where the idol can recognize these people. My question is, genuinely, what's wrong with that? I mean aside from being annoying and selfish that they don't let other fans have a chance to interact with the idols, especially with the fancalls, how is it bad? Is it the behavior? I mean, also, they're paying good money, I suppose. Is it nuanced? submitted by /u/Elle_Kim [link] [comments]

What is generally considered the standard for award shows in K-pop? It seems like since 2019, both MAMA and MMA have had the same winner for SOTY, so maybe there's not much difference? submitted by /u/SpecSlayerSC [link] [comments]

For me it would probably idle for girl groups and for boy groups it would be BTS. I know this kinda an unpopular opinion but I just never understand their concept and their music doesn't really have a sound they stick too...but prove me wrong if you want lol submitted by /u/Amaterialgrowll [link] [comments]
