I made a snark sub for K-Pop subreddits…

When people discuss about who has the best vocal skill its usually of course their main vocalists and how they are often perceived as a great singer. But which idols you think they don't really get a great vocal reputation or their vocal skills got overlooked because of something else? Sometimes they can be an idol with vocal position, but people overlook their skills because of an apparent fault that lowers their vocal reputation despite many of them being overexaggerated. In my opinion Soyeon gets a lot of flak in her vocals because people mainly don't really like her tone of singing. But she never really has any faults in her technique, constantly perform her vocal parts live, knows how to project her voice so it reaches the note she wanted, and has great musicality to ensure the pitch reaches her desired notes she wanted. I feel like people don't really give Nayeon the credits she deserved for her vocal skills. Her vocal range is not really the highest and I absolutely do blame JYPE for giving her insanely high notes for many of their comebacks and thus when sung on encores she was perceived as the weaker vocalist when she can't hit the higher notes consistently. But I do feel like people overlooked her overall vocal agility, vocal stamina, and her effort to ensure accurate pitch is heard, and its especially obvious in the recordings that she is very much impressive in giving CD like vocals, and managed to sing many of their songs in a quick, succession manner. Really, even if she's not the strongest vocalist you can't deny a lot of the reason she gets lots of parts and center parts is because of this too. San is rarely, if ever been talked about for his vocal skills because his appearance doesn't give out the vibes of someone with really strong vocal skills, especially since his performances are way more notable due to his insane stage presence. And I absolutely do think people should give more credits to his vocal skills, because surprisingly he can really sing out soft, melodic noises in a controlled manner, on top of having great vocal stamina that really boosted his performance on stage. Myung Jaehyun also deserves a lot of credit, he's not exactly is the best vocalist of his group because he's their main rapper, yet he consistently is able to sing many of the songs live, and with just how much of these songs require energy and stamina to perform, I rarely ever saw him struggling to sing. Very much obvious by how he can sing an encore alone without any members alongside him. Any others I should know? submitted by /u/EmanuelTheodorus [link] [comments]

See this type of posts could be really interesting if done right,as they could expose you to new perspectives you might not have thought of but it's always just people trying to humble artists they don't like. All I see are the same tired points,especially for hated ggs like blackpink and aespa. And it's gonna be prefaced like I KNOW they're gonna rip me to shreds and then it's just point that's been repeated for years and receives a huge amount of likes/upvotes and agreeing comments Like please,I want to read ACTUAL unpopular opinions,I want to see new perspectives,not necessarily critical,just something I haven’t read before. Other than the specific groups I mentioned,most people see it as an opportunity to shade the artists they don't like. Often times it's not even opinions,just straight up hate comments and if you call it out they're gonna hit you with the classic "oh you can't take my opinion,you're pressed" when it isn't phrased nor reads like a simple opinion,but a hate comment. So yeah,unpopular opinion posts are a lost art submitted by /u/Alive-Pitch-9180 [link] [comments]

Rumours or “facts” about certain idols that have been debunked but somehow still get mentioned years later. I’m curious which ones you’ve seen that people continue to believe even though they’re not true. It could be that or immature fans spreading misinformation on purpose. submitted by /u/Any_Contribution8287 [link] [comments]

Omg the day is finally here for the lovely 7 boys!! I've been waiting since May because I loved their Debut Plan/NewKids songs and their pre-debut song Step It Up and their variety show content is so entertaining & funny! I love them so much 🤗 Their debut song is so good!! (https://youtu.be/ddzl1LDe9Ec?si=RxC3CGAfWA9yxkSB) It's so refreshing, fun, youthful and new. And the choreo is amazing too, they're all such good dancers too! Watching their showcase rn and I'm so proud of them, wishing them lots of success! I'll definitely be buying the album!

Who are some idols you think would be really fun to have a conversation with and why? submitted by /u/Logical_Sweet_6624 [link] [comments]

Is anyone else confused about the Apple Music Global Chart? Like, what is Global? Is it not supposed to mean worldwide? So tell me why a song that is only charting in Japan is in the top 100 Global AM Music Chart, but songs that are charting in more than 20 countries are not? For example, the Girl group ROSE from Japan usually chart multiple songs on AM Global, but they only ever chart in Japan. Then you have groups like StrayKids, Katseye, etc charting in more than 20 countries, but getting no entry. Does that make sense? For anyone who doesn't know, Spotify combines all streams from the countries a song charts in, but Apple Music will give those countries points based on tier ranking. And unless you chart in tier one and tier two countries, there's no entry on the Global Chart. Is that even fair? So apparently, countries are divided into 4 tiers: Tier 1: United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany Tier 2: Australia, Canada, France, Italy, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Thailand Tier 3: Belgium, Brazil, Switzerland, China, Colombia, Spain, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Ireland, India, Netherlands, New Zealand, Turkey, Taiwan, South Africa For you to chart in Global AM, u need to chart in at least one of these countries: the US, the UK, Japan, or Germany. And placed high, like the top 20 in 2 or top 50 in 3 out of 8 of these countries: Australia, Canada, France, Italy, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Thailand. Something like that. submitted by /u/Accomplished_Low2452 [link] [comments]

I first thought what If we think about how idols go through training and stuff wouldn't it be cool if we saw the entire process from beginning to end. Then i thought what about livestreaming everything like a marathon like kai cenat is doing but i kind of thought that would be hard especially for young trainees. Then why not have streamers do it and train kpop style and so i looked up who can sing and already has a fanbase and there's enough to the point of pushing a group out. from what i see a lot of them are really good if they had actual training they can be a great singing group(probably no dancing) like fuslie, fanfan, QuarterJade, extraemily(for Rap), and maya. These are the ppl i see that would be good together that have talent and a big fanbase on top of being streamers where there job guarantees they have great and entertaining personality's. if they can go full kpop training, make music and livestream evey thing i feel that would make a group u feel attached to cause u can see the struggle without the media filter. Plus they already have fans so there no worries about them being a flop group. Is this a good idea? submitted by /u/Either_Lobster_9882 [link] [comments]

Aespa's GMA performance made me rethink again the topic of the longevity of female idols and kpop girl groups. I can't help but think that most of the female idols just stop gaf or their ego blow up once they reach the top level of popularity. Lately, clear examples of that are blackpink, newjeans, now also aespa. Blackpink's performances are very much lacking in every area. And it’s not like they lack talent — it’s just the zero effort on stage and the lack of prep beforehand. Despite sold-out arenas, unmatched (in gg reality) global popularity and support from their fans, they just really give minimal effort in concerts people pay a lot for. Newjeans engages in a losing battle just bcs they thought that their hiatus and mediaplay is gonna pressure hybe to sell ador (or at least give greater authority to mhj), they willingly go to national assembly or foreign media outlets to force their manipulative narrative, they even reach out to popular twt hater talytokki and meet with her. And their hongkong performance is also sth I wish to forget. The shift in attitude once they gained greater popularity is just unbelievable. And there is aespa. Despite their massive success in 2023 and 2024, they show disappointing lack of effort and preparation. The GMA stage was just the cherry on top of a very stale cake. They've been consistnently lipsyncing, showing lack of energy on stage and poor dance quality on many end of the year award shows, their concerts, music shows and random events like GMA. I've also seen their activity in the media, like karina clearly suggesting "I vote for 2" in her post, and it really feels like their attitude has changed. Despite the poor quality of their perfomance and bad attitude, they are still thriving. blackpink wins international awards, aespa sweeping daesangs and bonsangs left and right and nj keeps a big chunk of their fandom loyal. There is also an enshitification from their labels aspect, especially in the case of SM, but I won't delve into that. I didn't do a quantitive analysis comparing gg and bg from 3-4th gen to assess their shift in attitude after gaining popularity; I also don't follow boy groups scene that much, so correct me if I am wrong or I cherry-pick information, but seeing the level of engagement in artists like BTS, stray kids, enhypen (let's say these are equivalent in popularity to gg I mentioned) I really get the sense top men idols are built different. Part of it might be that boy groups are more often self-produced, so they’re genuinely connected to their music and passionate about performing. Or maybe the labels just expect and train male and female idols differently. I remember Karina once saying in an interview that women usually have shorter careers in K-pop. But looking at the top girl groups now, they’re only getting more popular even as they approach 30 (no offense if you’re 30 lol). And honestly, it’s happening even though their effort drops and their attitudes shift. So I don’t think it’s about fans abandoning female idols once they hit a certain age. It’s a small sample size, so it’s hard to draw real conclusions. But I still wonder: is this shift more about personality, physical burnout after years of idol life, or just the way companies manage female idols compared to male ones? submitted by /u/pitero2137 [link] [comments]

Hello, so I've been thinking of auditioning as a K-pop trainee online; it's always been my ambition to be a K-pop Idol since I was a kid: I've been watching K-pop performances with my sister since I was four years old, and I started dreaming of becoming one when I was ten. I wouldn't call myself a terrific singer or dancer, but I do have the enthusiasm and talent for both. Now that I am 14, I finally have the guts to consider putting my ambitions into reality by auditioning online this month. The difficulty is that my mother is quite rigid and we're in a very poor family; I know deep down that she would not allow me to be a trainee, given that I had to go to Korea and discontinue my academics; she takes academics for granted, as do I. I intend to tell her about it, but only after I receive an email response from my audition, and to be honest, I already know she will not let me. My studies are very essential to me, to the point where I put pressure on myself to do well, but what do I do when my heart tells me to follow my dreams?My mother says that if I want to enter show business at a young age, I should stop attending school. Both school and my desire appear to be vital; I want to go to school so that I do not disappoint her; but, I am concerned that if I quit going to school, my age would prevent me from becoming a K-pop trainee. What do I do? being an Idol has been my dream, and I can't see myself in the future doing another job except being an Idol. Music is like, everything to me. But does that really mean I need to disappoint my mom? Academics are very important, but is it really worth it when I know that there might be a big opportunity in the K-pop industry that has been waiting for me but I have to ignore it to not disappoint my mom? What should I do? Please help... submitted by /u/Simple_Expert6508 [link] [comments]
