I started singing Electric Shock when I saw this! 😭

Kpop fans have made hating Hybe their entire personality, and it's the craziest thing ever. It reminds me of the quote, "It's crazy you think my success has something to do with your failure." For example, today I saw a post on Twitter saying they missed school so they can make multiple accounts to vote against Seventeen and make sure no Hybe group advances, and I was just like, Wow! What is K-pop? Now, I will assume this person is probably 15 years old and in High School, coz who else is this crazy? Imagine making hating a group of people who have done nothing to you, your entire personality? Like, what do you expect will happen? coz I can assure you nothing will happen to these groups, no matter how much hate you throw at them. The only person wasting their lives and losing their sanity for K-pop is you. These idols you hate so much, all bcoz of a company, are busy living their lives and making money. I really hope these kids understand that sooner. I also saw a post saying if Seventeen advances, then it's payola and Hybe paid for it, lol! I don't know if this is a big 3 fans' coping mechanism or if they actually believe that Hybe is so connected that they can buy and award. If Hybe was that connected and reached to buy everything and anything, don't you think Junkook or Jimin would have won best K-pop those two years and not Lisa? Don't you think they would have bought it then for them? If Hybe had that capability, don't you think Jhope and Jin would have also been nominated? Don't you think Katseye and Seventeen would have advanced then to be the two finalists? Like, y'all are determined to undermine every success by a Hybe group, and it's becoming annoying. Like recently, a couple of Fifth Harmony and Little Mix fans posted for their fanbases to support Katseye and stays and blinks lost their minds. They accused those accounts of being paid by Hybe to post, lol. In their comments were something like, "How much did Hybe pay you?, etc. It was crazy. Mark, you, and they themselves were asking other fanbases to help, yet it's payola, and HYBE paid for Katseye fans to ask for help. There are also several communities formed with the sole purpose of hating a Hybe group, literally. Like someone wakes up every day with the sole purpose of checking what Hybe groups are doing so they can try to cancel them. Some of them don't even know what their fev are up to because their whole day is spent on dragging and hating the Hybe group. It's very funny at this point. It's out of control, it's becoming an obsession. submitted by /u/Accomplished_Low2452 [link] [comments]

Not every song is going to be a new peak, and that doesn't make a group or song a flop just because it didn't have the same performance as one of their most successful songs or runs to date. Right now it's Aespa and IVE going through this, as well as ILLIT to a degree, but I see it more with the other 2 groups due to their comebacks being more recent. Supernova, Armageddon, and Whiplash was a crazy good run by all means. One could arguably take it back to Spicy and Drama to count the build up to those three songs taking off. The last three will likely be remembered for a long time coming as a generational run. Dirty Work, while doing well in Korea, didn't do the same overall. Rich Man only had its official release today. A bit early to call it a flop but that's not stopping anyone. IVE from their debut up until Heya was really crazy as well, though Heya and Ascendio were not bad by any means, it is where the weird trend of branding IVE as flops started since it didn't win on Music Shows. I still remember when IVE Empathy dropped and Rebel Heart and Attitude were both branded as flops on this very platform. Then they got PAKs and music show wins. Leeseo went viral for doing the encore solo as well. Great time. We're at IVE Secret now. XOXZ is mid-flop. XOXZ wins on music show today. Sounds familiar. The thing I don't get is why a group is expected to match their peak immediately. It's not something that's easily surpassable. Missing it is to be expected. That doesn't mean it's a flop though. We're comparing the numbers to some of the most successful releases in all of k-pop. Those are outliers. It's fine if you don't like a song. That's a completely different thing, not everyone is going to like the same thing, and it's absurd to want to hear your own opinion coming out of everyone else's mouth. Everyone has different tastes. It's just really odd when someone will see a group have a generational run or set one of the most impressive records ever, then have a song or two that doesn't reach the same heights, and act like the group is dead now. submitted by /u/SageSageofSages [link] [comments]

From all I know, she had no experience before going to dream academy but in one year she suddenly became an idol. HOW? Was she picked just for her looks and star quality at first? This makes becoming an idol feel so easy compared to other careers like a violin soloist which takes decades. I might just be misinformed so please correct me, I just made this post because I was curious on how she did it so fast submitted by /u/AnthonyViolin [link] [comments]

I want to start saying that there are AI artists credited for this MV, but I want to talk about a specific scene that everybody was calling out assuming it was AI but isn’t. So the one that made this scene, the VFX designer of aespa, James Choe, posted the creative process (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DONYZoSEbX2/?igsh=ajJteGI2NGYyNTM=) as proof. He also posted more stories, saying things such as “not AI” and even showing happiness because there’s a post on X/Twitter going viral of his creative process, and he’s asking his followers to keep spreading so people stop accusing him of AI. I understand that we’re all frustrated about how much AI is being implemented in K-Pop content by companies, even the big ones. But NOT everything CGI/VFX is AI, and I personally think people should stop and research before instantly attacking creators. That being said, I love Rima Yoon (the director) and Rigend Film, but I do think she should stop involving AI altogether in her projects. Because her creators like James Choe then have to come out and defend their own art they worked very hard on. PD: If you guys are interested, you can check out all of his IG stories. He’s crediting all the people he worked with and they are also sharing the creative process for other scenes, like the car wreck (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DONw0bpkWnl/?igsh=MTh5MjZsMjl2b2cyMA==). submitted by /u/randomgirl852007 [link] [comments]

Like a few comments about it? Sure, but why does it seem like people can't find any other way to compliment this girl than this? It's such an odd comment. When are Eyekons going to realize that Katseye is and forever will be associated with Kpop? It's like they feel this overbearing need to tear down anything Kpop by comparing it to Katseye, and ofcourse the only comments they can come up with for the Korean member are comments saying how they're glad she's not part of some Kpop group. And why are they leaving comments like that as if the fans themselves aren't babying her like crazy? I get that she's the youngest, but I don't see anyone treating Lara (the second youngest) this way. The girl can't even swear without a bunch of fans freaking out. While she's not technically in a Kpop group, a lot of fans infantilize her (the way they like to do to Kpop idols too). I'm glad too that by her being in a global group, she seems to have a little bit more freedom than the average member in a regular kpop group. I do however have the feeling that this 'controlling nature' that a lot of kpop fans seem to have isn't far too different then a lot of Eyekons. Afterall, like 90% of eyekons are kpop fans themselves lol. submitted by /u/Due_Improvement_5699 [link] [comments]

don't get me wrong, I love LOVE songs, and IVE have those too, but I love how their songs have this "for the girls" vibe. they really make me feel like that girl (iykyk) (btw, I know IVE is not the only group with this kind of songs, I'm not downgrading them, I'm just trying to appreciate IVE :) ) ex: "So you can love me, hate me You will never be, never be, never be me Try me, I'll break free You will never be, never be, never be me" — rebel heart "I'm that, I'm that girl I'm that, what? I'm that attitude I choose my own mood, I'm that attitude Even if I stumble, luck is always on my side I'm that, I'm that girl I'm that, ooh, I'm that attitude" — attitude "Look at me, look at me, look at me now A different me from yesterday, it’s thrilling Everything I'm afraid of makes my heart flutter now I'm in sky high" — I AM "Everyone is fighting on my own I’m not scared you should also come on If we are together to anywhere we go Oh no, what?" — be alright "Sometimes I can’t even understand the looks I get It feels unfair at times but I talk about the countless versions of me created from misunderstandings All of them are ‘me’ in the end Either way, I’m good It’s all good It’s not about who’s right or wrong Just like how we all love differently" — either way sorry if the translations are not correct submitted by /u/Weary_Occasion1287 [link] [comments]

Saw this in twitter. Post says Martin dropped his phone, Juhoon or Keonho tried to pick it up but they failed to get since they’re running. Cortis performed in a festival just recently. What if some obsessed fans got his phone? 🤯😭 submitted by /u/Conscious-Cap-7250 [link] [comments]

I feel so bad for him, boys planet II was his 5th survival show and he was eliminated one again. At first when I heard that he joined I thought he was gonna make it (I thought the same thing the other 3 times but still), but not this time I guess. It's also his 7th year as a trainee and even though he had a chance to debut, he wants to do it trough a survival show, which I find to be so interesting? Idk the word but that is unusual that people usually hate to go trough this, but he goes out of his way to be in one. Here is a part of his message, that I find particulary inspiring: "[...] I want to show that someone like me - who isn't especially talented, who gets criticised no matter what, who needs an hour to do, what others finished in 5 minutes, can still achive their dream. [...]" I hope he will get his chance and I'll support him in the future. submitted by /u/sacragho [link] [comments]

Basically pulling an aged old trend from the bird app where one will say "Just felt a slight breeze" while tweeting out a clip of a song. Usually a winter song almost in line with the Christmas season songs. So that's my question to you all ladies, gents and non binary friends ~ what song would you play IMMEDIATELY once the season gets colder and you feel that slight breeze in the air Personally, I have two: EXO's First Snow - it's quintessential. It's sad tunes wrapped in an almost bubblegum kpop feel and it is beyond perfect for the cold weather. There's a reason it ALWAYS climbs up the charts when December rolls in Stray Kids' Winter Falls - imagine this. It's in the early hours of dawn and you find yourself sleepless. It's cold and you feel this unshakable sense of gloom. You don't feel particularly sad and yet the cold winds weigh on you and you start reminiscing memories of the past. Winter Falls feels like that to me. It invokes a sense of nostalgia every time those guitar chords swoop in. It's like smelling a fragrance and being taken back to a memory of when you wore that scent. I love it. So those are my picks and feel free to join in on my shenanigans ~ submitted by /u/Lofijunkieee [link] [comments]

It all started in December 2024 when APT song was trending everywhere, especially on TikTok. I liked the song and was vibing to it. At first, it didn’t cause any issue, but since then TT kept showing me BP content, and I ended up binging on them. By late February 2025, I felt like I might actually be starting to like BP and in early March I felt positive that I'm into BP and somehow I didn't feel comfortable with it bc they were too popular for me to stan. (I typically stan something that no one else in town knows about, plus it's weird for me to like a Kpop group bc I'm not that guy - I used to think if you like Kpop then you have a bad taste in music) At this phase everything hit different, I started to feel uncomfortable whenever I saw anything BP related including APT song. At one point, I was at the computer with my colleague and we accidentally bump on a video about APT on Youtube, my heart started pounding and I didn't feel good so I went to the restroom to calm down, I begged 'Please get rid of this feeling I had for BP' and I really meant it. Around that time I decided to uninstall TT. Moving forwards to mid March, I went to a minimarket and saw NewJeans on a Pepero box, never heard of them before, and after going there a couple of times, things crossed my mind 'what if I check out another girl group, maybe it can distract me for BP' so I decided to start finding out about NJ, I watched lot of clips of them on X. Whenever I think about BP I quickly watch NJ videos. Anyway, since that, a lot of NJ stuff flooding my feed, and I learned they were involved in a lawsuit that I didn't really understand at that point, I was like what is Hybe? what is Ador? who is Hanni? I was so desperate to escape BP so I ate all the articles and news about NJ to distract me from BP. During that phase, a couple of times I felt like 'Nah NJ isn't for me' but I kept watching them anyway bc my knowledge about other gg was very limited. Before 2025 a Kpop gg I knew were only SNSD, BP and FiftyFifty, I remember when I was a freshman, my friend told me he likes SNSD, at that time Mr. Simple was popular, I think it was around 2011, so that was the very first time I came across Kpop. Back to topic, In early April I think I started to like NJ for real (I kept it secret ofc, I had few friends who were into kpop, if they knew I like a Kpop group I'll be embarrassed for life) and I binged watching their clips on insta and YT shorts, clips I watched were a diary-like videos. All of the sudden their lawsuit news started to make me uncomfortable, but I ignored it, so I kept eating their updates on X and a megathread, I really went down the NJ rabbit hole and Kpop in general, big mistake!. I kept binging on NJ clips all the way to May, my feeling for BP slowly fade away, I swear everything had been shifted to NJ but it's far from better. I started to feel infuriated by the drama around them, like I had my own problems and I don't need to get caught up in other people’s mess, plus the football team I support has been in the downfall era for years so I've had enough of problems. By mid-May, my feelings for NJ growing stronger but at the same time I didn’t want to get invested, I felt that was the sign I needed to stop, and I realized I was just playing with fire. I took a break from reddit and quit X for good, I decided to stay away from anything NJ related, when I went to the minimarket I tried my best not to stare at the Pepero boxes. Now, I hadn’t watched any of NJ’s clips for months. During that time I re-installed TT, since my feelings for BP had gone away I can enjoy APT again, it distracted me a bit from NJ but a few NJ related videos somehow sneaked into my fyp, I scrolled quick, I almost got heart attack whenever vt about NJ popped up. As for their music, I haven't heard much, only Ditto and a bit of Super Shy, tbh Kpop is still not my cup of tea. I listened to Ditto on repeat and I still couldn't understand why people think it's a good song, to me most Kpop songs sound similar, if you play Ditto and then you play any IVE song, and tell people that the two songs were form the same group, they'd believe you. I don't think there are any idols who have a recognizable voice. Apart from APT (if it's count as Kpop) Kpop songs which I think had quality were Cupid and Love Shot. I wasn't actually a fan of today's music in general either, there were only few songs in the last 10 years that made it into my playlist, I think Coldplay haven't made a great song since Viva La Vida. Deep inside there's still part of me who wants to explore NJ mvs and engage in Kpop community, but I know if I'm doing that there's no return for me. I wonder if Kpop industry put a spell on you, I mean, they knew human psychology well, they knew how to get you hooked and to make you like them. My knowledge about Kpop group is going to the moon this year, I somehow ended up knowing the likes of NCT, Enhypen, IVE, Kiikii, Triple S, Kepler, Meovvy, Illit, Seventeen, Kiss of Life, Gfriend, Gdragon etc, somehow a little part of me felt embarrassed for knowing all those, other part of me feels like you can’t be a fan of a Kpop group and think you’re the coolest person on earth, BUT I'm more open to Kpop songs now, if there's a banger I'll take it as a guilty pleasure. 2025 has been the year of something else, I wish I could go back to January when my life was still normal. submitted by /u/Gullible-Distance594 [link] [comments]
