If JYPe didn't have their senior groups they'd be in a bad spot and they don't appear to care much

This is not a JYP doompost. We should be allowed to discuss topics that are not completely positive about a company without being shut down instantly which I hope can happen here. So by senior groups I mean Day6, Twice, Stray Kids. Day6 are the only group that charts in Korea in the last couple years and they debuted 10 years ago. Itzy dont chart at home any more, sales are down and international streams are poor NMIXX never got much of any foothold on k charts and while their sales are good and fandom seems to be growing, their GP popularity in Korea is stalled and their international popularity is not growing. Kickflip just debuted, and haven't shown much buzz unlike a BG from other big companies like RIIZE for example. I'm not writing them off at all, but if they become popular it will probably take some time, maybe years. So what does JYPe do if their senior groups become less active? They'd have very little else to fall back on other than some decent touring numbers from ITZY and NMIXX. That feels like a bad spot for a major Kpop company. Its frustrating because while I like a lot of the music their groups put out, like NMIXX is my top group, they just never seem to be able to find a song that will hit with a wide wider audience outside their groups own fandoms since like 2021. They also do very little compared to other companies (HYBE for example) in terms of cross-promoting their newer groups with senior acts, or in terms of finding new effective ways to promote their new groups (like Katseye and le sserafim doing videos with popular English-speaking influencers). Like Babymonsters senior girl group are massively popular and YG had them all over the promotional content leading up to debut. That is a fantastic promotional move. And yet Twice were huge in Korea, but JYPe didn't involve them at all with promo for ITZY or NMIXX. That's just one example of many missteps. It always feels like JYPe divisions are in direct competition rather than working together. Idk I guess I'm just wondering what people's genuine thoughts are on this. I hope we can have a real discussion without retreating to being defensive about the company. submitted by /u/enmicks [link] [comments]

4.173. Is wooyoung ok ? Or is it just his hair color

  • 1 month ago schedule

Me and a friend were talking about ateez lately and she brought up the concern for wooyoung and how he's been looking lately. She showed me a recent picture and I even saw a recent video of him signing material after one of their concert stops and he doesn't look well. Now I understand that making the topic more talked about it might start getting into body shaming but I truly don't know if it's just the blonde hair he has paired with his already light skin or there's truly something going on and it's a bit concerning Hopefully after this tour him and the other boys can rest. submitted by /u/MochaMilku [link] [comments]

4.174. Got harassed for saying I don't believe in a ship (Minsung)

  • 1 month ago schedule
  • reddit.com language

So… I commented on a lighthearted video saying something like “they’re obviously just friends” when people were talking about Minsung (Lee Know × Han). I didn’t insult the idols, I just expressed my opinion that I don’t think they’re romantically involved. That’s it. Suddenly, a bunch of shippers jumped on me like I had committed a crime. I was told my opinion “means nothing” because I don’t believe in Minsung, and that I’m “living in denial.” One even claimed they’re definitely real and are just “hiding their relationship through fanservice.” But here’s where it gets truly ridiculous: Someone literally said that Lee Know is only affectionate with Han, and that everything he does with the other members is meaningless or just for show. Like… WTF!??? They really sat there trying to argue that when he hits Han’s butt it’s a sign of love, but when he does the exact same thing to, say, Felix or Seungmin, it “doesn’t count.” And they said something about the skz staff saying the sparkle is lino's eyes is exclusive for han??? do i look like i gaf??? I tried to respond calmly, even joked once or twice, but it somehow escalated into me being “disrespectful” just for having a different opinion. I don’t get how saying “I don’t ship them” turned into a full-on character assassination attempt. Fandom isn’t supposed to be this hostile. Like... people are allowed to disagree without being dragged for it. Shipping ≠ reality, and it definitely shouldn't mean silencing or attacking others. Some Minsung shippers need to chill.

Some kpop opinions that are immediately a red flag to me are people who despise when ggs full of grown women do mature concepts and write thinkpieces about them being exploited and the likes but don't have that same energy for bgs. Its odd... and reeks of misogyny. submitted by /u/Nynasa [link] [comments]

4.181. How would you prefer military service being handled?

  • 1 month ago schedule
  • reddit.com language

Let’s say you have a boy group with 6 to 8 members. All of them Koreans, 6-8 year age gap between youngest to oldest, nobody is exempted from military service, some might have to do social service though. Would you prefer: a) All of them going pretty much around the same time. This means, the whole group is absent for ~21 months and no member can promote the group apart from pre-recorded content. b) The members going within a staggered period, but with not too much space in between. For example, the last member starts military service ~ 1 to 1 ½ years after the first member. This means, the whole group is absent for around 3 years, but members can promote the group individually before the last member enlists and after the first member has finished his service. c) The members going one after another. This means, the whole group is absent for many years, but members can promote the group individually, sub-units can be formed and the group can even continue as OTx-1. Curious to hear your thoughts and reasonings. submitted by /u/Anni3401 [link] [comments]

4.182. Wooyoung saying K-pop Demon Hunters movie is very inaccurately portraying the job of an idol is funny but also extremely important to know

  • 1 month ago schedule
  • reddit.com language

Wooyoung from Ateez went live earlier today and talked a little about Kpop Demon Hunters because fans kept asking if he had watched it. (unfortunately OP deleted the post because certain fans started overreacting so I don't have a subtitled recording, I'll try to find it). He said that he watched it but couldn't get immersed in the story because the life of idols shown there was far from reality. Before people start accusing him of hating, he wasn't really criticising the film, just stating a fact that he as an idol found noticeable (he still watched the whole thing fine and even said he noticed Abby looking like San, lol). And I am honestly happy someone from the industry had finally said it. The press has been full of praises for the movie for its depiction of Korean culture and that's great but it also pretty much glossed over the reality of working as an idol. I know it wasn't the point of the movie but I just believe it's important to understand that actual idols have much harder time and much less control over their career, this is important especially if the movie is someone's first contact with the industry. Wooyoung didn't elaborate on what exactly he found inaccurate but I think we all noticed the girls constantly binge eating whatever they want, fans being supportive of cross gender group interactions/possible dating, the manager acting more like a personal assistant than a supervisor and weirdest of all Rumin launching the comeback from her own phone... So, yeah this is a great movie and it showcased Korean folk beliefs very well, but it also showed a perfect version of the K-pop industry without pointing out any real life issues in the slightest and we should remember that. Also, I hope Wooyoung never stops speaking out so openly about his opinions because we need more unafraid and unfiltered idols like that. submitted by /u/Megan235 [link] [comments]

4.184. Do you ever wonder about BLACKPINK's crazy contracts?

  • 1 month ago schedule
  • reddit.com language

I feel like BLACKPINK's contracts are probably some of the most complicated and interesting in the music industry right now. You have a major label in Korea keeping them all as a group, then you have major U.S. labels all signed to them for solo endeavors. For some of them, you also have Korean labels that are managing their solo endeavors. "JUMP," for example is released by YG Entertainment and BLACKPINK's American label Interscope Records. "like JENNIE," on the other hand, is released by Columbia Records, but under "exclusive license from OA Entertainment Inc." ("OA Ent" being Odd Atelier, Jennie's self-owned shop in Korea, I believe?). Jisoo has similar setup with BLISSOO and Warner Records. Lisa has a similar setup with Lloud and RCA Records. Rosé is the only one who doesn't self-own her sub-label, so "APT" is released by "Atlantic Recording Corporation for the World excluding Korea," because it's released by The Black Label in Korea. Rosé is especially interesting because it means she has two different labels in Korea, while the other members only have one (YG) while the other label is basically just themselves. All of this is so fascinating to me—I can't imagine how many cross-national negotiations had to happen for this. It seems far more complicated than any other setup in the music industry around the world. I'm curious if others have thoughts or if this has piqued their curiosity as well. submitted by /u/idlechungha [link] [comments]

“Yeonakkang” is rooted in male-dominated online forums. It’s widely viewed as misogynistic, as it carries a misogynistic implication that women in their 30’s are of “no value” or “lose all sexual appeal” after they have left their 20’s. submitted by /u/avairaa [link] [comments]
