since they just announced that they’ll be beginning working on music in the states, I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas of who they think they may be working with. do any of you think maybe KATSEYE/KATSEYE'S people since they're in the states & recently been talking about them in interviews like the BUZZFEED one saying they wanted to collab with Jungkook/V and stuff? submitted by /u/aubreeserena [link] [comments]

I'm not sure when did Ateez start doing this but they have been releasing concert dvds, photobooks and season greetings on different sites like TOQTOK, KQ Shop, YES24, Hello82, Aladin, etc and they all come with different POBs. As a pc collector, it's starting to get exhausting and expensive. Like how many calendars from season greetings do I need just to collect pcs from 4 different sites 🥲 I get that we can just buy from GOMs but also ngl, those that are in my area are just sketchy for being serial fancallers or stalkers and many of us don't support that. Obviously this is the company's fault for being greedy but it's just getting too much 🙃 submitted by /u/Alone_Collection1507 [link] [comments]

Does anyone else think TWICE Momo, GFriend Yuju, and IZNA Koko all give a similar vibe? They do to me, like the facial features, facial expressions, way they carry themselves, even their voices and singing a little bit, and by coincidence they're also known in their groups as dancers. TWICE was one of the first groups I got into and Yuju and Koko immediately reminded me of Momo when I was getting into their groups. Can any dancers also tell me if I'm insane or do they all kind of have a stiffness in their upper body? Everything about their dancing is satisfying to me except for that sort of upper body stiffness I feel. What other idols could be one soul split between multiple people? submitted by /u/choerry_bomb [link] [comments]

I'm a big MIDZY and aespa fan since both of their debuts, I was veryyy young back then and knowing it's been nearly 7 years is weird enough, but seeing groups in an entirely different generation is even weirder. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I can't physically comprehend how Illit is a group since it seems like they didn't debut that long ago but it's been years since the survival show and adjkhkjkj And then Babymonster, Katseye, Kickflip, BND, Meovv, TWS, Allday Project.. Where did you all even come from 😭😭😭 It's so weird seeing those bubbly 2019/2020 4th gen rookies barely attend award shows anymore. Okay, that's just Itzy and Stray kids lol But STILL. How. Are. They. Seniors????? I'm not even that old, I- The bane of this post? ISAC. Is this how 3rd gen fans were feeling during the 2019/2022 one that were slowly being respectfully polluted by 4th gen groups? If yes, wow that was a terrible era 😔 Fortunately, I like most of the new 5th gen groups, not necessarily the music, but most look sweet and a lot of them are very skilled in variety !!! submitted by /u/Gold_Meaning3688 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I am currently completing my PhD about popular music fandom and shame, and am planning to write one chapter about how fans are framed in media, particularly in film and television. I was wondering if anyone can think of any depictions or representations of K-pop fans in any movies or televisions shows you may have seen - this can be from a K-drama or Western production, doesn't matter! Or for that matter, if you can think of any examples of media representations of any fans though I would love to focus on music fans! I am looking currently at Swarm (2023) which was based on Beyoncé fans, Euphoria (2019) in episode three which followed the story of Kat, depicted by Barbie Ferreira, and (maybe) Misery (1990) which is based on a Stephen King novel. *if you have seen me in other subreddits, sorry for cross-posting, just want to try and get as many recommendations as possible!* submitted by /u/thhwwwreeeeee [link] [comments]

A lot of people truly don't understand that txt is always expanding their horizons and exploring different avenues of music. I'm very excited for what The Star Chapter: TOGETHER has in store for everyone submitted by /u/Nynasa [link] [comments]

Hello, my name is Seung. I'm a 17-year-old trans guy looking to form a small K-pop dance cover group (5–7 members), tentatively called AURA5 or AURA7. This group will be LGBTQ+ inclusive, disability-friendly, and open to anyone 17+ near Sacramento/Rancho Cordova or within an hour’s drive. I'm shy, have ADHD, and live with cerebral palsy hemiplegia—so I understand the importance of a safe, supportive, and chill space. This is a low-pressure group where perfection isn’t required. You don’t need to be a strong dancer or super outgoing—just able to communicate and show up with respect and enthusiasm. What to expect: Focus on dance*, not singing Monthly in-person meetups (practice or filming), online practice through YouTube tutorials Face coverings optional in videos (masks provided) Dressing up for covers encouraged Basic social skills > dance skill No experience required—we’re here to grow together All races, genders, and sexualities are welcome. Extras: Learning Korean together*—I don’t know much, but we can help each other! Using basic terms like *hyung, oppa, etc., to get comfortable (not cringe, I promise) A shared YouTube channel for vlogs and covers If you have unsupportive or non-affirming parents, we’ll always use your chosen name/pronouns within the group and respect your privacy. To avoid trolls, please be ready to share a photo or short video if you're interested. You dont have to sing or dance in this clip. I plan to let this post sit for about 1 month to find the right people. No rush—just want this to feel right for all of us. If you’re curious or interested, feel free to DM me! submitted by /u/AppealGlad1155 [link] [comments]

With the recent announcement of Modhaus’ new group, IDNTT, and the continued innovative rollout of TripleS, I’ve found myself revisiting a lot of my frustration with SM Entertainment and their failure to truly commit to making the NCT concept work. It’s jarring to watch smaller companies successfully execute the very modular, fluid system that NCT originally pioneered—only for SM to abandon it due to poor management and short-sighted decisions. I can’t help but wonder what could have been if SM had just done things right from the start. When SM Entertainment introduced NCT (Neo Culture Technology) in 2016, it was one of the most ambitious concepts K-pop had ever seen. A group with no fixed size, no set lineup, and an ever-expanding universe of sub-units. Members could be added indefinitely and rotated between units based on concept, nationality, skill, or genre. It was a modular system, more like a network than a group, designed to grow with the industry and push creative boundaries. For fans, it felt like the future of K-pop. The group launched with a strong start. NCT 127 represented Seoul, blending hip-hop and urban pop. NCT Dream followed with a youthful, coming-of-age concept centered around a graduation system. WayV was created as the Chinese unit, and NCT U was a flexible, rotational group that changed its lineup based on the song or performance. It was a fascinating structure, offering something new every time while tying everything back into the larger NCT identity. On paper, this was genius. But in reality, SM never fully committed to the system it created. One of the biggest promises of NCT was that all members would have equal opportunity through rotation. Anyone could shine depending on the unit or project. But SM quickly began favoring a small group of members, mostly Taeyong, Mark, Haechan, Jaehyun, and Ten. These few idols appeared in nearly every major comeback, collaboration, and special project. Meanwhile, dozens of other members were left waiting. Some, like Kun or Hendery, went years with minimal promotion. Others, like Jungwoo or Yuta, were visibly underused despite strong fan support. NCT U, which was meant to be the most flexible and experimental unit, quietly turned into another way to highlight the same few members. The rotation system stopped rotating. At the same time, SM dismantled some of the most unique parts of the structure. NCT Dream was built around a graduation concept. As members aged out, they would leave the unit, making way for new, younger trainees. It was a powerful idea. It gave the group a narrative and emotional weight. Fans watched the members grow up, celebrated their “graduation,” and looked forward to meeting the next generation. But in 2020, the system was scrapped entirely. Mark was re-added to the lineup, and Dream became a fixed seven-member group. The concept that made them special was gone, replaced by a conventional boy band format. It was easier to market, but the creative core was lost. Perhaps the biggest turning point in the downfall of NCT’s original vision was the debut of SuperM in 2019. This supergroup was formed with members from SHINee, EXO, and NCT, including Taeyong, Mark, Ten, and Lucas. It was promoted as the “Avengers of K-pop,” aimed at the U.S. market. It worked. SuperM did well internationally, especially on Billboard. But its success came at a cost. Rather than using NCT’s system to highlight emerging talent or expand the group’s universe, SM extracted the most marketable members and placed them in a completely separate group with no connection to NCT’s concept. SuperM existed purely to generate fast profit. It was a turning point where it became clear that commercial gain had taken precedence over creative integrity. Even the small opportunities to build cohesion were abandoned. When WayV debuted with a Chinese version of “Regular,” fans saw potential for a recurring motif. NCT 127 had promoted the song in Korean and English, and now WayV had their own version. It could have been a symbolic thread tying the different units together, showcasing cultural variation within a shared musical identity. But that idea was never revisited. No follow-up. No narrative. No continuity. Just another missed opportunity in a system that no longer cared about connection. Then came one of the biggest betrayals in the NCT timeline. In 2020, SM introduced Shotaro and Sungchan as new members of NCT, with the promise that they would eventually join fixed units. They were promoted heavily through music show MC gigs, NCT U activities, and a show titled “Welcome to NCT Universe.” This show introduced trainees believed to be part of the upcoming Japanese unit, NCT Tokyo. Fans followed along, hoping to see the next stage of NCT’s expansion. But in 2023, SM quietly removed Shotaro and Sungchan from NCT entirely and placed them in a new group called RIIZE. No explanation. No farewell. The survival show was rendered meaningless. It was a gut punch to fans who had been emotionally invested in their journey. It proved that SM’s system was never built to last. It was disposable, and members could be moved around like pieces on a board without closure or consideration. And then there’s WinWin. Once an integral part of both NCT 127 and WayV, he slowly disappeared from promotions with no public acknowledgment. He hasn’t been in NCT projects for years, and there’s been no official word on whether he’s still part of the group. Occasionally, he appears in solo work in China, but from SM’s side, there’s only silence. WinWin’s disappearance is a painful reminder that even core members are not guaranteed protection or transparency. He was part of the foundation, and yet he was quietly erased from the narrative. So what is NCT today? It’s no longer a limitless group. 127 and Dream are fixed units. WayV is active but disconnected. NCT U is barely used. NCT Tokyo was rebranded into a rookie group called NCT WISH, with almost no ties to the original members. And the idea of expansion is officially over. SM has shifted its focus to solo releases, fan meetings, and tours for the most profitable members, while everyone else waits without updates. The rotation system is gone. The modularity is gone. The vision is gone. NCT had the potential to be a historic achievement in K-pop. It could have grown into an expansive universe with evolving narratives, equitable opportunities, and long-term emotional investment for fans. But instead, it became a brand name. The few members who sell well are pushed to the front, and the rest are left behind. SM took one of the boldest ideas in idol history and abandoned it before it could reach its peak. The downfall of NCT wasn’t inevitable. It happened because SM lost faith in its own creation. The concept wasn’t flawed. The execution was. They sold fans a dream of evolution, flexibility, and limitless growth. Then they chose what was easy, safe, and profitable. What was once the future of K-pop ended up as just another chapter in its past. Not because it failed, but because it was never truly given the chance to succeed. submitted by /u/Illustrious-Cut-1901 [link] [comments]

Hello, I'm practically new to K-pop, but these days I have a question: what would happen if a group debuted that only dedicated themselves more to the voice and not to the dancing, or in other words that they only sing but don't dance at all but their voice is very good so that the fans forget that they don't dance or don't know how to dance. I ask this because K-pop idols are trained from childhood to dance and sing, but remember that there was a Western group (One Direction) that did not know how to dance but did sing very well (even though their voices are common to people) they had a tremendous fan base, even bordering on being toxic, just like or almost like K-pop fans. I love idols who dance very well but I don't know why I prefer their voices more than their dances and I think that's why my favorite K-pop songs are practically their ballads, you could say that I prefer the voices in groups a little more than their dances (I find it very hypocritical since my first non-K-pop group, despite its good voices, danced very well although the dancing level of some of the members was not equal to the K-pop dancing level). And I would also like to clarify that I would not only accept a K-pop group that only sings well and that's it, if they are not going to dance at least a few movements to the rhythm of the music, if it is something more moving, movement of hands, arms, looks, winks, smiles, something that transmits feelings and emotions not just standing like a statue, if a group like that debuted (I doubt it) then I would prefer to follow another group. I don't like groups or singers who stay still on stage without transmitting anything while they sing. Here are some questions that I would like you to answer, I would greatly appreciate it. (1) How would a K-pop group that only focuses on vocals and not dancing be received by both Korean and global audiences? (2) What would be a good concept or musical genre for that group if they were to debut one? (Get creative, I'm a little curious hehehe) (3) Would you be able to track a group that is only good at vocals and not at dancing? If you got this far, thank you very much for reading this bible hehehe, I'm learning English since it's not my native language so I'm sorry if there are any mistakes and before finishing I would like to make it clear that I don't think it's a bad idea if a group dances but in a basic style since lately K-pop groups use their choreographies to be trending on TikTok, and if the choreography is easy but memorable it would be easy for mortals like me who can barely dance Fake Love by BTS hahaha. submitted by /u/Legitimate_Photo_867 [link] [comments]
