An interview with Vogue Singapore regarding his new Burberry campaign. He has been going around so many fashion houses - Coach, Loewe, Channel and so many more but nothing sticks other than a few fashion show appearances and magazine features. He is now doing Burberry new campaign and his face is now plastered all over their stores and their website! And while I am not really a fan of Burberry (though I have a few of their perfumes), Seungmin very clean lines and fashion philosphy suits Burberry! And the new campaign Burberry Festival, shot mysteriously a few months in London, really suits Seungmin! Festival is SKZ’s home after their back-to-back festivals before their tour in late 2023 to mid 2024! I do wonder if he is their new BA but whatever it is, he is part of a huge campaign with his faces everywhere so I am excited to visit my nearest store! submitted by /u/Many-Ad-9007 [link] [comments]

I've always loved side profiles and I've always thought you'd have to be a different type of gorgeous to have a solid side profile so show me some idols with great side profiles! Here's my contribution submitted by /u/lilacprincess03 [link] [comments]

As a big fan of anime and manga, I love that feeling when a photo looks like it came straight out of a manga or manhwa panel. If you’ve got any pics that give off those same vibes, drop your favorites below, some of mine are here! submitted by /u/DustyCarat [link] [comments]

Am I the only one who notice that first gen and second gen kpop fans are very loyal? Maybe because many fans from that era formed deeper emotional connections with groups. Back then, idols couldn’t just post a selfie or go live to connect with fans. K-pop also wasn’t as global or mainstream, so idols had to go to where the fans were, through live performances, fan meetings and street events. K-pop is now global and driven TikTok, YouTube, and social media which increased availability of music and videos. Fans can easily switch between groups more quickly with new groups debuting constantly and a endless content. submitted by /u/Forsaken-Cause8432 [link] [comments]

I’ve struggled with memory loss since I was a child. At pretty much all times, memories of the past few weeks are fragmented, and anything beyond a few months ago is 99% gone entirely. Because of this, I’ve developed a very strong attachment to media- Especially music. Kpop has been my favourite genre for the last decade. Listening to it helps me connect with memories I no longer have access to, and the feelings I’ve associated with specific songs. For example, I don’t remember almost anything from a beach vacation trip I took with my family in June of 2021. But I remember having Twice’s new release “Alcohol-Free” on repeat at the time, and how it made me feel in the moment when I listen to it again. I only know the date of the trip because I can search online when the song was released. Another memory is the weeks I spent falling asleep to BTS’ “Blood Sweat and Tears” in 7th grade, when I had just moved to a new house and hadn’t become comfortable in my new bedroom yet. The song became familiar and comforting for me as a child; it put me to sleep every night. I don’t really remember any of 2022, besides listening to Newjeans’ debut album and “Generation” by TripleS on my walks home from school. Kpop has become such an meaningful part of my past, honestly. I hope somebody can also find joy in my weird personal anecdote. submitted by /u/Yvmeno [link] [comments]

So I got into kpop around mid 2017 and I've noticed that through the years the amount of views mvs got on youtube has changed. At first it was increasing, but now when I look at the amount of views I see on mvs, they aren't as high anymore as compared to 2018 or 2019. I know there isn't one reason why this has decreased, I know that throughout this time period youtube has changed the way that views are counted. I've also always believed that a lot of the streams have gone to spotify. But there's one other thing I also noticed. I feel like fans aren't as obsessed with streaming for views anymore. This might be because I myself went a bit more to spotify for music, but also because I'm not as active of a kpop fan anymore as I used to be. I'm a lot less in the youtube comments then I used to be back in 2017 till 2020. So have others also noticed that fans seem less obsessed with youtube views? Or is it simply because I aren't really in those spaces anymore? submitted by /u/Objective_Object_383 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! Welcome to Free For All Friday - a weekly “rant about anything” thread. Do you want to rant about a recent episode of your favourite Kdrama? Drama around a Kfilm or Kcelebrity? Have something to get off your chest about Kpop but don’t want to do a post? Need a space to rage into the void about life, work or school? This thread is here for that. A couple of house keeping guidelines: Don’t mention user names No rants about the existing banned topics No social media ranting, use the weekly megathread for that (this thread opens each Tuesday) Regular sub rules apply Our intention is to have a space for causal ranting - don’t be a buzzkill and rain on someone else’s rant. This is a space to RANT but that doesn't give you the right to get emotional and start using these threads to lead hateful campaigns against users who have different opinions and perceptions than you. We will definitely pay close attention to what's happening and won't hesitate to ban if necessary. submitted by /u/AutoModerator [link] [comments]

Just out of curiosity, if you chose five member female only and male only group from any kpop group but it must only be restricted to just one member from that group. Then a five member group of both male and female in one group. Why do you choose those members and how they would compliment the group. submitted by /u/Accomplished-Car4075 [link] [comments]

Hey everyone :) I'm a native Korean and longtime K-pop fan, and I’ve always admired how passionate international fans are. But I’ve noticed that a lot of you struggle with writing comments in Korean, even when the message is heartfelt, it sometimes sounds too formal, robotic, or just slightly off from how native Koreans actually comment. So I built a small tool called Popsy to help with that. You just type in English, pick a tone like "Casual (반말) and Polite (존댓말)" and it turns your message into natural Korean, the kind Koreans really use online. It even understands fan-specific terms like "Bunnies (버니즈)" and doesn’t awkwardly turn them into "토끼" (Korean word for "actual" bunnies). Try it! 👉 https://www.popsyapp.com It also explains why it translated that way, so you can learn as you go. The goal is to help you feel more confident jumping into Korean fan spaces, commenting like a native, and connecting more closely with both idols and fellow fans. \ UPDATE: Just added a voice feature so you can hear the translated Korean too :)* It’s a personal mini side project and completely free, but I’d love for you to try it and share your thoughts If there’s a specific feature you’d like it to support, let me know. Thank you! submitted by /u/Puzzleheaded_Ad2237 [link] [comments]

Here's the context. MNET just dropped the new season of SWF called WORLD OF STREET WOMAN FIGHTER. Instead of sticking with mostly Korean crews, they’ve invited teams from all over the world. On the Korean team, you still have the big names like Leejung, Aiki, Gabee, and the rest of the original leaders from the viral first season. But then you also get crews like AGSquad (former members of Royal Family), the current Royal Family, RHTokyo (led by the incredible Rie Hata), and more. Basically, they brought in some of the best dancers on the planet, so naturally everyone was hyped for the Class Mission, especially for the leader class. In past seasons, the leader class always stole the show. NOZE’s “Hey Mama” routine went viral, Vata’s “New Thing” (produced by ZICO) was a massive hit, and Bada Lee’s “SMOKE” (Dynamic Duo ft. Lee Young Ji) blew up. With world class talents like these, fans were expecting another hype track and choreography. But things went sideways when Woozi from SEVENTEEN dropped the leader class song called “ECHO!” Viewers have been super vocal about disliking it. The consensus is that it simply doesn’t measure up to previous leader class tracks, and it’s being slammed as the weakest of the three songs this season (compared to Rookie Class’s “FLIP FLOP” by Gummy ft. Since and Middle Class’s “Ridin’” by Lily, Jiwoo, and Kyujin of NMIXX). On top of that, fans of the show are finding it cheesy that Woozi threw their names, “HoshiWoozi”, into the chorus. To give more context, the song samples a famous Korean folklore song, but they swapped out the original storyline and dropped their own names "HoshiWoozi" which most viewers thought was corny and tacky. A lot of fans showed disappointment that Hoshi and Woozi overlooked the fact that the dancers should’ve been focal point and instead made themselves out to be the main characters. They feel that the track leans too heavily on artist ego and shifts attention away from the dancers. I’ll also point out that this show is very popular with the GP, many of whom aren’t K-pop fans. Unlike the international K-pop fans who follow the show, a lot of the people voicing discontent don’t even know who Hoshi or Woozi are. This is the clip that introduces the songs. Leader class competition will be airing next week but here are the selected choreographies to "Flip Flop" - Gummy ft. Since (Rookie Class) and "Ridin'" - Lily, Jiwoo, and Kyujin of NMIXX (Middle Class) What are your thoughts on this situation? submitted by /u/AggravatingFlow398 [link] [comments]

Kpop industry has tons of shows where they interview kpop celebrities, so this supposition might seem a bit strange for all of you. But the thing is, I kinda wanted to see more nardwuar style journalism in kpop. The thing is kpop has been so commericalized(well right fully so because its all about the money baby), and so structaulized (the only ones ive seen close to being somewhat similar to nardwuar was that journalist from the show mmtg from sbs)that sometimes most questions are so similar when I see these interview shows? So when I see a lot of I would say independent journalists(well nardwuar is technically part of a radio crew, but you would see what I mean by that) in hollywood who just happen to meet celebrities in hollywood just walking by and ask questions that is so astonishing to me. I feel like this is just not seen in kpop overall, because I feel like they always should have like pre planned schedules and everything. Also the reason why I do think that this needs to be more of a thing is because I feel like the questions should represent what the fans are curious about instead of the same rhetoric questions(kinda similar to the first point I made.). Without the backup or funding of big broadcasting institutions and companies with economic objectives, I feel like it would convey the honesty more for celebrities. Though I personally think it might be hard considering how controlled the kpop industry is and the existence of stalkers and sasaengs(like it might be hard for independent journalists to be born in here also cause companies would need some kind of verificaiton to make sure they are not ill intentioned people hoping to get a chance with them), I do hope that we have some kind of freedom that is enjoyed in the United States. Well I am saying it again, but I think this is just me. submitted by /u/xalxary2 [link] [comments]

For me, it was when I started pre-ordering albums. For a year or so my only connection was Spotify. But when I started getting deeper and deeper down in that rabbit hole, I realized I wanted to support my groups more. The packaging and everything was so unique compared to western labels. Very collectable. So that's when I started throwing money at the hobby. And now I go to concerts whenever I can 😆 How about your experiences in becoming a true fan? Update: I realize that my wording may not be the best. When I say "true fan", I mean a fan who went from casual to more invested in the group/music/genre. In the beginning, I'd only listen to Spotify, not checking anything else out ever. But now I buy albums, go to concerts, etc. Those who don't do that are absolutely still fans. I'm thinking more the transition from causual to hobbyist. submitted by /u/M_Prodigy [link] [comments]
