JOY (Red Velvet) - 1st Mini Album: From JOY, With Love (Announcement Film)

I was bored, so I made a nightmare to manage gg Group Name: Re:Line (get it cuz the line-up constantly changing HEHEHEHEHEH) Concept stays the same every cycle Contract ends every 9 months, members can choose to re-sign or leave Max 12 members per cycle Debut only if you’ve proven yourself somewhere else Each cycle with new members is called a "line" Entry Requirements (must meet at least ONE): 3+ years as a trainee Made it far in a survival show but didn’t debut Member of a disbanded group Indie artist with a solid discography How It Works: If members leave, roles get re-evaluated based on skill Trainees from other companies allowed (for exposure) New comeback every cycle no matter what Perform songs from older line-ups Color System: Each member gets a unique color during their stay Colors can be reused, but only after the original member leaves Colors are tied to persona/skill vibe, not strict roles cuz that would make things more complicated Performance Rules (aka the Prestige): Must sing live at every stage Must nail large-group choreo Must adapt to frequent formation changes This is a high-pressure, high-reward group because of the strict rules, ppl can brag their fav idol started off here Fandom Name: Standbys "Standing by" the group through constant changes Also a theater reference a standby = understudy who keeps the show alive, not a permanent role but still important Why it would probably suck Constant member turnover = constant retraining Every comeback needs something new: Vocal distributions Choreography Styling + visuals Color legacy = huge expectations Legal drama with cross-agency idols Vocal fatigue from the live-only rule Fan wars over who owned which color best Endless backup trainees who may never debut takes a bunch of negative aspects of the industry and shoves them all together -The fast pace of constantly having different line-ups, even though some members stay stationary -Large companies potentially exploiting the exposure aspect, and shoving their trainees in, even if their not ready -Hard to connect with the group as a whole -Cliques among members who had been there longer -Overworked idols submitted by /u/Current_Height_9537 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! I used to post here about how much I really want to become an idol, but I’m from Kazakhstan, and I don’t quite fit the ideals of HYBE. I’ll be 20 in 6 months, and today I suddenly thought – maybe I should try J-pop? Even though I don’t fully understand their culture and all that, I still want to fulfill my dream. Or maybe I should join an unknown K-pop company? Anyway, you can check out my skills on my YouTube channel (there’s a reason why my dancing isn’t that great — family circumstances). I also know Korean at B2, English at B1, Russian at C1, Kazakh at C1, and I’m already thinking of learning Japanese up to B2. What do you think? My YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@deellxs?si=ixwEYWVqoFxrkRHK P.S. I really dream of being in HYBE and having a concept like NewJeans or ILLIT. submitted by /u/Big_Fix8220 [link] [comments]

https://youtu.be/osFQWe1oX9c?si=kj-cA9YPw8NoukII I cannot recall (feel free to share as I do not listen to ALL kpop albums) any recent kpop groups other than XH (they are a band nonetheless) who brings metal into their albums. I sometimes feel like instead of using LaLaLaLa the original version, what if SKZ uses the metal (they called it the ‘rock’ version) of LLLL? This brought about when I saw Reacttothek reaction to their metal version and I remember really loving the metal version of the song. It is heavy. Like heavier than any of SKZ previous discography. And not so surprisingly, Han’s voice really stood out as he has that rock-type of voice. Do you guys think kpop is ready for a real metal music? From idols, not from rock/metal musicians. And do feel free to share any metal song from any idols! submitted by /u/Many-Ad-9007 [link] [comments]

Saw their SBS gayo daejeon 2025 performance, and i realize though they were confident already but concert experience really build up their confidence to other level, there is different kind of energy i felt this year performance.....the way they effortlessly changing notes, ad-libs, hyping, enjoying in the award show?.....they have become more natural, this performance were really showed up their growth....and i want to appreciate girls to work hard and for keep serving that neck movement with that stare?!

Lately, I've been listening to Knock Knock by TWICE again, and every time that chorus hits, I get this overwhelming wave of nostalgia that almost makes me want to cry. It’s hard to explain, but songs from the 2nd and especially the 3rd generation of K-pop had this distinct, fun, vibrant energy. The concepts and melodies was very bubble gum. There was a certain “K-popness” that made it different from anything else out there. Now, with the newer generation (4th and 5th gen), everything feels so… westernized. Sometimes it feels like I’m just listening to regular Western pop, not K-pop. A lot more English lyrics, darker aesthetics, and more focus on global appeal than local flavor. I can't help but feel like something essential has been lost, like that joyful, uniquely Korean pop sound and identity that made me fall in love with the genre in the first place. And it makes me genuinely sad, because I’ve been struggling to find groups or songs today that give me the same feeling I got back in the 3rd gen era. So I’m wondering… Is it just me getting older and nostalgic? Or has K-pop really changed that much? Anyone else feeling this? If you have some groups to listen it will be a pleasure to have recommandation :) submitted by /u/Acceptable-Candy-873 [link] [comments]

not sure if this is the place for such a nuanced topic but it's something I've noticed lately especially on sites such as twitter/x. I've been a kpop fan since 09 and around mid to late 3rd gen, I've noticed an uptick in fans misgendering of more effeminate men in boy groups. Usually the excuse is "Oh I'm not doing it in a conservative way but in a queer way" but honestly i would argue that a good chunk of fans are doing it in a conservative/sometimes racist way. If you're unfamiliar, a common racist stereotype against Asian men is that they are naturally more effeminate and therefore are not "real" men. How many of us have shown our non k-pop friends/family an idol and had them called women/gay etc due to their appearance. This doesn't always happen to the most "feminine" member in a group but members that are deemed to be effeminate definitely get the brunt of this microaggression. A recent example that may have started from a place of good will is the boy group XLOV. For those who are unfamiliar, XLOV is a rookie boy group with genderless concept meaning they lean heavily into androgyny. Recently a member said during a fansign that they dont mind being referred to as princess, diva etc because they know who they are. Unfortunately fans took this as a go ahead to start misgendering him and the whole group. What started as 'its okay to call me diva/princess" morphed into " x member is nonbinary and goes by she/her". If you go into said member's tag on x/twitter you will find a lot of tweets not referring to him as she/her and girl/saying hes on estrogen etc. While these comments in themselves are not offensive, this is not what the idol said. This is common in international circles. If an idol shows even the slightest hint of being gender non conforming, they then become a character that the fandom will most likely head canon to be different then what they actually portray themselves as. This can range from being in good faith to being downright stereotypical. That being said, I don't think this is always down out of malice. I've noticed that some young girls/women in boy group fandoms want to feel that they can relate to male idols thus they project certain labels upon them such as calling male idols lesbians/etc. There is nothing wrong with wanting to relate to an idol you admire. I also think it's fine to refer to male idols as baby girl/princess etc but the problem comes in when these labels always are thrown at idols who are deemed to be effeminate/more feminine then their peers. I think a lot of fans are unwilling to unpack that stereotype/bias because in their minds they want to convince themselves its always in a non bigoted "queer" way. I think we forget that when it comes to certain aspects of gender identity, consent is important. If any idol such as Wonbin doesnt mind being referred to as princess/older sister then I think it's okay to use those terms in regards to him but a line is crossed when fans start referring to him as a woman because frankly that's what they see him as. Thoughts? Anyone else notice this in their fandom space? submitted by /u/External-Molasses-50 [link] [comments]
