Idols who are the complete opposite of the iphone face.

I came across this post https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop_uncensored/s/Hq71NTZahv it's about op asking how relevant KPop in their home countries and majority of the answer is still very niche/not mainstream. So if KPop is not mainstream anywhere else it's better to be popular in the home country which is Korea if they want to have a long lasting career. So groups like straykids and ateez Will not last long because they re not popular in their home country submitted by /u/Chemical_Mobile_6613 [link] [comments]

That's basically it. I mean choosing a band that already disbanded and that you liked so you can have another chance to do it again now. submitted by /u/Mayh_3m [link] [comments]

I pretend I’m part of the group I Stan sometimes, as if I lived in a parallel reality just to entertain myself 😪 Pls tell me I’m not the only one… submitted by /u/naninabanani [link] [comments]

I'M NOT JOKING ON THIS ONE someone really said to my face that i must've thought of sleeping with the idols I'm watching on a random sunny day 🤦🏻‍♀️ being a kpop fan comes with many struggles and one of them is dealing with these type of people submitted by /u/SmoothGrand4695 [link] [comments]

Is this like an indicator of disbandment or something? Other than announcements I haven't really seen other postings. Seems kinda awkward to just leave behind the group like that rather than using the momentum to do more group promotions. submitted by /u/moomoomilky1 [link] [comments]

I don’t know, this randomly popped in my head: if you and your friend group were in a kpop group, what would be your role? I’m the only one who really dances in my friend group, and I’ve been dancing since I was 3, so I think I’d be the main/lead dancer. And maybe visual? It sounds weird to say that, because I don’t think I’m better looking than the rest of them, but I care more about appearance and looks than the rest of my friends. I looked up the definition of a visual in kpop just to make sure. Which is, “the member of a group who is considered to best fit the prevailing Korean beauty standards, often embodying a specific look that is highly valued in Korean culture”(google). I only have one friend in my friend group who is Korean, but she’s not the performing type at all. Imagining her performing does not at all work inside my head. It’s not that she’s bad, it’s just not her thing. But, I’m not Korean, I’m an American. And I think I fit the “beauty standards” or “beauty stereotypes” in America. Sorry for explaining so much. I just don’t want to seem full of myself. But yeah, what position/s would you have? (Also, I’m still kind of new to Kpop, so if I got anything wrong, please let me know. Thanks!) submitted by /u/dancing_hpfan [link] [comments]

I think seventeen will win album of the year for spill the feels but I think it’s possible stray kids Karma could win. 60% is based on sales and streams and 40% is based on judges. I think sales and streams are similar, but seventeens are a little higher (I am not confident about my numbers). So arguably judges can say it’s not fair to compare 5 weeks of sales and streams for karma against a full year of sales and streams for STF and will therefore award it to karma which had higher numbers for the first 5 weeks alone. I assume they are both options for artist of the year too, but there are lots of other options. submitted by /u/Hopeful_Shelter_443 [link] [comments]

We’re conducting a research study about Korean media fans of color. If you consider yourself a fan, not just someone who watches every now and then, but someone really into K-pop, dramas or any other pop culture; you’re either Asian, Black, or Latine; you’re 18 or older; and you live in the U.S. or Canada, we’d really like to have a Zoom interview you. You can expect that the interview will last about an hour to an hour-and-a-half. Your interview will help us learn more about both fans of color and fans of East Asian popular culture. Currently, there are no academic books about fans of East Asian popular culture, and there is only one book about fans of color of any media! Your interview would help us as we put together a book about Korean media fans of color. For more information, contact David Oh ([dcoh@syr.edu](mailto:dcoh@syr.edu)) or Min Joo Lee ([mlee4@oxy.edu](mailto:mlee4@oxy.edu)). Please note that Zoom interviews have to be recorded in order for them to be transcribed (writing out the responses). The recordings will be deleted as soon as the transcripts are created, and they will be confidential – never shared or shown). submitted by /u/KindReality [link] [comments]

I’m taking a gender studies class and want to write about sexism in the kpop industry. What do you guys think are examples of sexism in kpop? Either specific examples or just broad issues in the industry itself. What are some issues that women in kpop have to deal with but men don’t (or vice versa, I suppose)? submitted by /u/eveningsnewestetoile [link] [comments]

Idols are beautiful with or without makeup, but I almost never see pics without makeup. These are photos of Oneus from when Seoho enlisted this year. submitted by /u/Funwithnugukpop [link] [comments]

...which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice. Jongin didnt create the name Kai and its not exclusive. If anything he's the last one to be called kai, since Hueningkai and now Kai from Yuhz were born before he debuted. There are like 25 Jaehyuns and nobody is attacking the other Jaehyuns for their parents choosing the name Jaehyun. Its extremely embarassing for fans of one of the biggest and most established groups out there to be sending hate to literal teenager because their BIRTH name is the same as his STAGE name. If yall want to be mad at someone for his name not being exclusive, be mad at him for picking a common name as his stage name and then be mad at SM for trademarking a real name (Not that that has any value whatsoever). submitted by /u/icouto [link] [comments]

So I made a post a while ago about how outrageous the ticket prices were for these groups. Well, it seems like their organizers have finally come to their senses and started doing random sales. I know TXT already did a sale for the American leg of their tour, but I just found out P1Harmony is doing a 38% off sale for Jiung’s birthday ( with the funniest girl math explanation I’ve ever seen )😭 Anyway, just putting this out there in case anyone’s free and wants to check their concert dates. P1Harmony concerts are a whole vibe, and I’m saying this as someone who’s been into K-pop for 15 years. You won’t regret seeing them live! Discount: 38% off → “Girl math” explanation: 38% = 3(2+0+0+1) + 8(1+0+0+7) 😆 Code: JGHBD → Use this code on Ticketmaster to unlock the offer Sale period: 🗓️ October 4 (12 PM) → October 7 (11:59 PM) (local time) (P.s. Fnc u better pay me for promoting ur group like this) submitted by /u/Over_Length_440 [link] [comments]

This is not assuming no one's sexuality nor gender, don't take it personal, just saying. KEY - SHINEE now let's be for real. He's the most gay man I've seen in kpop. And it's not the kinda gay of 'oh i like my teamates', which makes it more real. WUMUTI - XLOV sexual orientation appart, he is so gender queer coded and almost uncloseted. Like, mother? HANBIN - ZB1 zb1 can't be real 😭 it's the queer paradise. Even if we ignore his career, his predebut CAN'T lie. The tutting, the wacking, girl? ZHANG HAO - ZB1 the same i said of hanbin. It's just it. Tell me if you want more cuz i could be talking about this eternally. submitted by /u/Taem09 [link] [comments]
