Is it just me or is Katseye way too sexualized?

I’ve been watching Katseye lately, and I can’t help but feel like the group is overly sexualized , especially when it comes to their styling. A lot of their stage outfits look more like fashion statements than functional performance wear. Some even seem uncomfortable or impractical, especially when dancing or doing high-energy routines. I get that they’re a global group and aren’t strictly bound to Korean cultural expectations or traditional K-pop standards. But they’re still being promoted heavily in Korea and positioned within the K-pop industry, so I feel like there’s a disconnect. It’s disappointing, especially since K-pop groups are often praised for their balance of visuals, talent, and polished presentation. From what I’ve observed, Katseye leans more into the Western pop model and where sex appeal is often used as a core marketing strategy. That’s not inherently bad, but it feels jarring in the K-pop space, where there’s usually more thought put into concept, cohesion, and even modesty in styling. I also wonder how much of it is the company’s decision versus the members’ own choices. Either way, it kind of sends a weird message when so much of their image seems built around being sexy rather than showcasing their artistry or individuality. Anyone else feel this? Or have different thoughts? submitted by /u/Hour_Virus_9083 [link] [comments]

2.280. Is it just me or do katseye’s songs feel like they are lacking something?

I havent listened to all their songs fully, but ive heard atleast parts of each song and i feel like they are all missing something? Maybe their music just isnt my taste since i saw people talking about how much they love ___ song or ___ song. I thought gabriela was good, but not to the point where i would add it to my playlist and go out of my way to listen to it. I also just got bored of all their other songs which is why i havent listened to most of them fully, there wasnt anything interesting enough to keep me listening. Anyone who knows how producing songs works better than i do, and know about the aspects of songs and techniques that can be included, what could be lacking? I know partly this is just my taste as im more into rnb, but even with rnb if i feel a song is too lacking and not interesting enough ill click off. What are your thoughts on their songs? Do you also think they are lacking something? Or do you like their songs and feel there is not much room for improvement or anything lacking? submitted by /u/yamyamoi [link] [comments]

Im specifically talking about annie from allday project who is literally a chaebol from one of the most powerful familes in SK, whats more surprising is the amount of koreans who absolutedly love and adore her. Im saying this objectively because there is no way someone of that status would be welcome by the GP here in the US regardless of their personality or character submitted by /u/Ok-Air4120 [link] [comments]

2.284. Allday Project is meant for success thanks to long-craved male-female idol interactions

  • 2 weeks ago schedule
  • reddit.com language

I genuinely think Allday Project was a brilliant move. Many K-pop fans — especially those who enjoy seeing male and female idols interact — have been waiting for something like this. Mixed-gender groups are incredibly rare in K-pop, so there's definitely a lot of curiosity and excitement about how the dynamics will play out both on stage and in content. Straight ships have always been a big part of K-pop fandom culture too, and this kind of group naturally feeds into that interest. It’s clear the company is aware of this demand and is leaning into it. Overall, I wouldn’t be surprised if Allday Project ends up being a huge success just because it’s tapping into something fans have been craving for a long time.

2.285. What are your favourite k-pop headcanons?

  • 2 weeks ago schedule
  • reddit.com language

In fiction fandoms, a headcanon is a scenario or event that does not actually happen on the page (for books) or on screen (for series or movies), but based on existing information, could have plausibly happened or could be inferred to have happened? For kpop, this would mean something you believe a member did or something that had happened to the group based on certain clues but isn't something any of the members have actually spoken about or was caught in film. I bring this up because Twice recently released a video that has Jeongyeon teaching Nayeon how to drive and now I firmly believe Jeongyeon had taught several other members how to drive too lol. My evidence are as follows: Jeongyeon surprisingly acts like a seasoned instructor. She knows how to simplify instructions for Nayeon, understands what she might not know, and is aware of many beginner mistakes that she gently corrects. She isn't flustered about how to teach driving either. Nayeon mentioned that people have told her that Jeongyeon "never gets mad and teaches super kindly". As she is saying that, the caption "member-exclusive driving instructor" is shown on the screen. Sometime later in the lesson, Jeongyeon then comments that of all the members, Nayeon is the most scaredy-cat when learning to drive. Even later than that, Jeongyeon mentions how the other members were super quiet and wouldn't talk at all when they were just learning how to drive. This is in contrast to Nayeon who was happily chatting away during the lesson. To be clear, neither Jeongyeon nor any of the girls have ever mentioned her teaching the other girls how to drive. We have also never seen her teach anyone driving until today. Based on above evidence however, I'm pretty confident she taught some of them lol. Now what are your headcanons? submitted by /u/BlueThePineapple [link] [comments]

2.286. Just became a new fan of GOT7-Bambam,Felix-Stray Kids and Taehyun-Txt Can you tell me more about their personalities?

  • 2 weeks ago schedule

I’ve never really been a fan of GOT7 and haven’t heard many of their songs yet, but I plan to listen to them later. My favourite person is BamBam he has a very positive energy he’s friendly and funny, always making jokes. He’s such an interesting person! Honestly, I got a bit bored watching BTS members or Enhypen because they don’t share the same vibe as BamBam. About Felix from Stray Kids he feels like a comforting person who can inspire you to keep going. I really like his Australian accent; it’s interesting to hear him speak like that. Also, his deep voice is really nice. Can you tell me more about their personalities? I want to get to know them better like what they like, their favorite foods, if they have pets, or any fun facts about them Taehyun from TXT also caught my attention. He seems really calm and thoughtful, but also has a playful side. I like how he shows different moods and vibes, which makes him interesting to watch I heard that he enjoys reading books and poetry I like to watch his vlogs are very interesting he tries different things like riding horse, reading books he also love poetry. I recently heard the new song Love Language by TXT, and I really like it! The song has a bright and cheerful vibe that feels fresh and fun. I heard it was inspired by their fans, which makes it even more special.TXT always tries new styles in their music, and this song shows a happy and positive side of them. I’m excited to listen to more of their songs and learn about their personalities. submitted by /u/IcyAirport4067 [link] [comments]

2.294. Why does it feel like K-pop fandoms hate seeing other idols get praised too much?

  • 2 weeks ago schedule
  • reddit.com language

Lately I’ve been noticing something kinda weird in the way people talk about idols. Like... anytime someone gets a lot of praise, maybe for their vocals, dancing, stage presence, or even visuals, there’s always this wave of comments trying to bring them down a little. Stuff like: “Yeah, they’re good… but it’s all studio editing.” “She doesn’t really dance, she just flails her arms.” “He’s only popular because he’s handsome.” “They’re overhyped. Nothing special tbh.” It reminds me of something called the “tall poppy syndrome”; basically when someone starts standing out or succeeding, people try to cut them down so they don’t get “too big.” It’s like we can’t stand seeing someone shine too brightly for too long. I feel like in K-pop this happens a lot, maybe because: Fandoms are super competitive. People see praise for one idol as an attack on their fave. There’s this weird need to “balance” every compliment with a criticism. Some fans just get defensive when another idol gets too much attention. It kinda sucks, because it makes it hard to openly compliment someone without people jumping in with, “Actually, they’re mid” takes. What do you think? submitted by /u/Seesawey [link] [comments]

2.296. Realistic Exo OT9/OT8 comeback?

  • 2 weeks ago schedule
  • reddit.com language

I heard Sehun is getting discharged in a few months but CBX still has a lawsuit with SM. Realistically, once Sehun is out, will the group come back as Exo even with just five members? Or do fans have to wait a couple of years before CBX and SM reach a settlement? If so, how many years? I listen to Exo casually and while going through my 3rd gen playlist, I realized 3 out of the top 4 3rd gen groups are all gonna be active this year. BTS and BP will have a grand comeback and will tour while Twice is still very active. I look at Exo and feel bad. They were once this massive thing and while they're still popular they didn't get to capitalized on the Kpop boom during the pandemic the way these 3 groups did. But I still think they could have a resurgence but instead of just anticipation for their comeback after military service like BTS, fans have to think about the lawsuit. submitted by /u/Equivalent_Ad9125 [link] [comments]

2.297. The lack of creativity in the comment section under every MV is such a thorn in my side

  • 2 weeks ago schedule
  • reddit.com language

Without fail, under every music video, the top comment is always "How many international fans are here to support artist xyz?" or a slightly changed variation of it, and it annoys me so much. Probably more than it should, if I'm being honest, but I can't help it. It's such a cheap way to beg for likes on your comment, and doesn't add anything to the discussion either. You could instead use this comment to praise the song, the video, or shaee your general thoughts, even why you maybe didn't like certain parts. Anything related to the song and/or the artist? But no, you just wanna farm likes. Do you wanna see how many fans like the song? Watch the like button, that's what it's there for! And it didn't bother me when I first saw it, but the more I realised that this comment is everywhere, the more it annoyed me, so now I'm here 😂 That'll be all, thanks submitted by /u/No_Actuary6662 [link] [comments]
