Jungkook's popularity on tiktok is insane.

One of mine will have to be people disrespecting Lisa and attributing her success to her “boyfriend” I know popular people are often popularly despised, it’s nothing new, and women are def disproportionately hated, but I get so angry (para social much?)when I see comments about Lisa getting all these gigs solely cz she’s allegedly dating a rich guy. Like guys, this is Lisa of BlackPink, she’s arguably the most popular member of the most popular girl group. The utter disrespect for her hard work and dedication is appalling. And what’s more infuriating is that these comments are often upvoted and, yk, accepted as the norm. Women have to deal with so much ridiculous bs and it keeps getting worse. Like I would genuinely crash out in a very public way if I were in her shoes. I don’t even have half her accolades and accomplishments, and I’d still lose my mind if anyone attributed any of it to a man. So yh, I’ll never stop talking about the despicable way Lisa is discussed and regarded in kpop spaces, even if it seems like most have already made up their minds about her and talking about it feels like whistling in the wind(especially on reddit). Feel free to share your dead horses that you won’t stop whacking submitted by /u/Mobile-Structure5702 [link] [comments]

I've been following Ablume's situation from the beginning, and seeing where her fanbase has ended up is truly heartbreaking. Since Ablume left ATTRAKT, her fans have been viciously attacking Keena and the new members who decided to stay with the group and rebuild. Worse still, Ablume's official TikTok account has also contributed to this scandal, which will fuel the hatred and indirectly encourage fans to continue their toxic behavior instead of moving forward peacefully. What angers me the most is that Ablume's story about ATTRAKT treating them badly has already been proven false. Numerous reports, documents, and statements clearly show that ATTRAKT was actually very supportive. The company provided for their education, healthcare, and daily needs. The real problem stemmed from The Givers company, which ATTRAKT hired to manage the girls' daily affairs. Givers CEO Ahn Sung-il and his team deceived and exploited both the girls and ATTRAKT. It later emerged that Ahn Sung-il had lied about many things, including his own educational and professional background. Despite this, Ablume chose to continue working with him in the same office, under the same management. This is a major red flag and completely contradicts their previous claims of wanting freedom and justice.What makes this whole thing even sadder is how blind many Ablume fans have become to these facts. They continue to demonize Keena, label her as a “traitor,” and harass the new Fifty Fifty members — people who had absolutely nothing to do with the conflict in the first place. The double standards are unreal. When Keena spoke up, she was ridiculed and attacked. When Ablume stayed silent or acted hypocritically, they were praised as “strong women fighting for justice.” How does that make any sense? I understand that fans form emotional attachments to idols — that’s natural. But what’s happening here isn’t fandom anymore; it’s blind loyalty mixed with misinformation. Supporting your favorite artists should never mean spreading hate toward others or ignoring facts that don’t fit your preferred narrative. The truth is uncomfortable, but it’s still the truth: ATTRAKT was not the villain in this story. Ahn Sung-il and The Givers were. And continuing to attack Keena or the new Fifty Fifty members only protects the real wrongdoers while hurting innocent people. I really wish more people in this fandom would stop and reflect before posting or sharing hate online. This constant negativity helps no one — not Keena, not Ablume, and definitely not the fans who once loved Fifty Fifty as a group. It’s time to let go of the hate and acknowledge the full picture. You can still like Ablume’s music without justifying everything they or their fans do. You can support Keena without being “anti.” We can have empathy for everyone involved without losing our sense of reason. Fandom shouldn’t be about picking sides to destroy each other — it should be about celebrating the music and the artists we love. I really hope one day the community remembers that. submitted by /u/GooseSignificant8293 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I’ve always seen soo many beautiful compilations that people put together on their socials to celebrate the memories they’ve created over an entire year, and this year I want to put something together to look back on 2025, but I want to use a number of BTS songs rather than the standard “TikTok” template background music. For my 2025 highlight reel, what BTS songs would you recommend. My family and friends don’t tend to appreciate my love for BTS and often make quite rude jokes about them, so I’d like song suggestions that would be easy for them to also listen to without making a dig about our 7 guys and their music (although I think every song is incredible, I want something that goes with the background of a recap highlight reel and also is an easy listen for them) Thanks 🥹💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 submitted by /u/Faeeeeee97 [link] [comments]

Just a general question, does anyone else want to genuinely hear in universe song "Golden"? Because for all we can get, we only got like part of it, and then it's Rumi singing to herself. Like no way that the actual part of the song in universe, Maybe Zoey and Mira are singing at that part, idk. Might explain why they called it song about them, despite two singing only 7 seconds each. What's your thoughts submitted by /u/alnovanoir [link] [comments]

I’ve noticed that a lot of idols are around college age lately, and it got me wondering what universities they might have attended if they hadn’t pursued the idol life. For example, I know Huh Yunjin once mentioned she was planning to study in Boston before training with Le Sserafim. But personally, she gives off total New York University vibes; I could see her majoring in something within the liberal arts, like English or Literature. Where do you think your faves would have gone, and what would they have studied? submitted by /u/Flounder-Cute [link] [comments]

Yup, is said in the title, some stans have been acting quite insane lately. I'm mostly on X(twitter), and also in few other fandoms other than kpop, my favorite being F1. Few days ago, the official F1 account posted up photos with some ENHYPEN and SEVENTEEN members during the Singapore GP. Lots of kpop stans flooded the comments with a ridiculous fanwar about a certain person "paving the way" for idols in F1 Paddock...? While i don't care who paved what where, celebrities have always been going to F1 races since 1950, so this situation is cringe at best. Some even claims that the idols were bringing publicity to the sport...? While true to some extent, F1 is one of the most popular sport in the world, sitting near football. What bothers me is, they got some big names in the F1 fandoms involved too. I was very happy for those idols, as i used to be a kpop fan. But now, even the general public got involved, and it just showed the worst part of kpop stan culture as well as its toxicity. And then, there's this Soyeon collab plagiarism thing. I didn't listen nor do i know about the song with Soyeon, but i am a big fan of Yseult, the artist whose MV was plagiarized. Yseult is know to be a fiery person, who don't like being stepped on so she acted fastly and posted about Soyeon who "should apologize". But she changed the story, now addressing the whole production team. But kpop stans (mostly Soyeon defenders) are now asking Yseult to apologize???? And not in a respectful way, they are attacking Yseult on her appearance, her origin, her being black etc... Just blatant Misogynoir basically. This situation is ridiculous and people should know better. And while i'm not pointing at Soyeon personally, she also should know better when collaborating with other artists.. But yeah, these being at most 2 days apart was eye opening for me. I don't know what happened in the kpop fandom as i don't interact anymore with kpop, but what I'm seeing makes me worried for the future. Where did critical thinking go? Why is kpop so toxic nowadays? Small disclaimer : i am not a native English speaker, sorry if its a bit confusing! submitted by /u/Misstacos2-0 [link] [comments]

The KG lawsuit SEVERELY hauled their progress. When a member publicly accused the company of child labor, mistreatment, and abuse, it doesn’t matter how much JYP denies it, the harm is done. Western media picked it up, and that was their main audience. Even if some claims were exaggerated the trust is gone. Then there’s Kaylee’s departure after being on a “health hiatus” for over a year. Losing two members so early, one due to a lawsuit and another to health issues, destroys any stability the group had. Whether or not her situation related to KG’s claims, the optics are terrible. It makes the group look unstable and poorly managed. The rebrand to Girlset feels like a last effort to fix their image, but it’s clearly not working. Their new comeback had a smaller budget, weaker styling, and barely any promotion. For a JYP group, that’s a bad sign. You can tell when the company loses faith in a project because everything suddenly appears cheaper and quieter. It doesn’t matter that they’re under JYP. Many people assume that being with a “big 4” label guarantees success, but that’s simply true. Boy Story is a perfect example. JYP tried to push them as the next big Chinese boy group, and it completely flopped. They also had a scandal (which shouldn’t classified as a scandal but an underage member being victimized). The company has a history of experimental projects that don’t take off, and Girlset seems to be following that same path. They never had a clear identity. VCHA aimed to be a global project between the U.S and Korea which was apparent as they had a more bubblegum pop image in comparison to most western girl groups. But after the scandal, the international audience lost trust. They also never had had much appeal domestically. Now they’re stuck in the middle, not big in either market, with four members and no strong concept to rely on. Honestly, I think JYP will just move on to other projects. This was a massive loss financially and reputationally, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they shift their focus to something like L2K (Latin to Korea) or even a boy version of A2K, maybe called Boyset or something similar. That’s how JYP usually manages failed experiments; they quietly start working on the next one. I think if none of this happened, they could’ve established themselves into something like NiziU but with a western take. It would’ve been a unique concept that wasn’t already present in the west. submitted by /u/iambunnycat [link] [comments]

Golden is closing in on 1,500 PAKs (it’s at 1.48k as I’m writing this, so maybe just a day away from hitting 1.5k). KDH is really a phenomenon, and Golden has a strong hold on kcharts right now. Actually, it’s not just Golden, Soda Pop is right behind at #2, and other songs from the movie are also sustaining in the charts. How fascinating is this? We’ve had releases from BLACKPINK, IVE, aespa, Lim Young Woong, and even IU dropped a song recently (though not a full comeback), some releases did disrupt the PAK temporarily but Golden managed to reclaim its streak and is holding strong. Who do you think will truly break this streak, not just overtake it momentarily? submitted by /u/Letzz_get_it [link] [comments]

The gore version is great. Of course, not everyone will like it, but it's a great MV and song. It's been 5 years since this song. 😮 submitted by /u/Separate-Comedian-25 [link] [comments]

“Twice should have gotten the popularity that Blackpink has” - “Comparing all the girls that are killing it” - Taylor Swift “Blackpink should just disband” - I see this from non-blinks and as a non-blink myself, if you don’t even like them, why are you so pressed about what they’re doing? I’m not a fan either, but I don’t make hating on them my personality. “Katseye is/is not k-pop” - Katseye does not sing in Korean, they aren’t based in Korea and they aren’t even marketed to Korea. But they are still under a Korean company, they were formed like a k-pop group, they have pcs lightsticks etc, therefore they’re K-pop ADJACENT. I really don’t think it is that hard to understand. “Cortis fans think that they’re fresh and new but they just reheat Travis Scott and Cardi’s nachos ” - I don’t even stan Cortis but I have genuinely seen this take more times than people calling them “unique” or “fresh”. *The Stray kids hate in general - If you don’t like them then just don’t talk about them… “Itzy fell off” - Their newer comebacks aren’t as successful as their previous ones, but who cares if you like their music then listen to it. Honestly these takes are so over done and I am beyond tired of seeing them (especially the blackpink ones) submitted by /u/Local-Hair-635 [link] [comments]

As we all know, akgaes are very toxic groups of people. But ive always wondered how these people are in real life. And if they say the gross things they do online. I cant imagine akgaes are happy and normal people. Especially with the amount of delusion and gross behavior I've seen from them. Ive heard plenty of stories about meeting koreaboos, sasaengs, shippers and antis but no akgaes. And by akgaes, I mean the toxic people that hate all the members except the one they stan and believe they're being mistreated. So yeah, share your story if you have any, even if its a positive interaction with a normal solo stan (if they exist). Can be for any idol since they all move the same anyway. submitted by /u/Dull_Ad_2795 [link] [comments]

I broke it down for each group Katseye: Ok I’m actually getting real sick of seeing unnecessary hate, comparing, and rage baiting for katseye. It’s getting old, tired and giving jobless. No matter how many times eyekons and other fans do their best to not bring them up in kpop spaces or conversations..there’s also that one person who just ITCHES to bring them knowing that there are miserable kpop stans with giant insecurities that will jump on them at any given moment and it’s like yall have no common sense or can’t read the room to just not bring them up. Especially in those dumb ass “kpop opinion” post. I’m bringing them up now in a kpop space because I need answers from yall, especially those who dislike katseye. Now with XG, another global group, having their comeback, here’s goes the “Xg hAs BeTtEr MuSic ThAn KatSeYe” “Xg ShOulD Be aS BiG As KatsEye” like are we deadass?? There’s obvious reasons, but that isn’t KATSEYE’s fault and their name shouldn’t be within that conversation since they aren’t a part of the equation as to why xg isn’t as big as they should be. Why can’t we let two global groups with two different approaches, different concepts, different music styles, and based in two different countries where all of the members are young, beautiful and talented af coexist and be great together? Cortis: I’m sorry but the hate Cortis gets for no reason is a prime example of “the hate is forced” because HUH??? It fr be like a fan praised them for actually working with black creators and learning from them and be great at the craft in a post and here yall go with the negativity “CorTis isNt As FresH and OrgAniC aNd ThEyre BIg CoMpaNy PrIvIledgeD” like are we serious? Then I saw someone on twitter say that cortis deserve to win rookie group of the year and it’s like how bitter can you be to say this? Even with artists I don’t care for, I’ll never say shit like this and when if I thought it, why would I let the world know how deranged I am? It’s very obvious how hard working the boys are and how online they are and they’re all still young. Moral of the damn story, I don’t see the appeal to hop on the trend to hate on hybe groups that just debuted, yall give no type of grace to them but expect everyone to give grace to your full grown faves who know what they’re doing……anyways I digress. submitted by /u/Oneandonly_potato [link] [comments]
