K-pop is flopping (imo) this year while Katseye is consistently dominating worldwide?

Ew trump. I do not support any misogynistic, white nationalist, incel, hitler-like (esp. Musk), racists at all and neither does this sub and apparently neither does reddit as a site as a whole. He stands against everything Kpop stands for which is an art form from a formerly colonized people from a country that is rising up against colonialism and hatred. Anyone who comments anything negative to this, or tries to defend that orange guy will be banned permanently. Go somewhere else, we don't want your lower kind here. This is why American women everywhere are going 4b EDIT!!!: 4B 4B4B4B4B4B!! 4B IN THE SOUTH, 4B IN THE NORTH, 4B FROM TEXAS TO ALABAMA, FROM BYU TO COLOMBIA! 4B ALL FIFTY STATES!

Hey folks! Over in r/kpop we just posted a new special Town Hall that is focused only on the Flairs we use to help organize our posts based on content categories. Link to r/kpop's 'All About Flairs' Town Hall We included announcements for new flairs here on r/kpoppers and also on r/kpophelp. The following is the section relevant for this subreddit. NEW FLAIRS! Connect - This flair will be used for anything where fans are trying to socially connect with each other. Announcing new K-Pop subreddits or Discords, looking for mutual fans on social media, wanting to meet up at a concert, seeking fans in a region to form a dance group, networking for a fan project, announcing a K-Pop night at a club, etc. Research - Academic surveys related to K-Pop or fandom topics. We'll keep an eye on these new flairs to see if they create any confusion or need adjustments. Let us know if you have any thoughts, concerns, or questions! submitted by /u/alleybetwixt [link] [comments]

The subreddit is mostly uncensored as long as people follow the rules. Generalizing statement about Korea, Korean society, etc or most other countries are not acceptable except under the following standards: The only claims that are acceptable when generalizing Korean society in this sub are those that bring up generalizable stastical claims by the standards of the international statistics institute. Not only do the vast majority of stastistics you can find on the internet about Korea not up to this minimum, basic standard but this requirement includes having ample sample size, blocking by relevant demographics and sometimes even double blind tests. So if you make a generalizing claim, your wording must be properly formatted and links to the relevant studies provided. In other words, the standard for making a generalization is very high in this sub. Not to mention the wording for your claim has to be properly made. Anyone who has taken a college level statistics class will know what I am talking about and we may even require you to provide the confidence level interval if it's relevant for your study. If you cannot meet these standards, I would just avoid doing it in general. submitted by /u/Kpop_Love_Forever [link] [comments]

Sorry the masterpiece this album is, it’s very cohesive throughout and contains so many good b-sides that I think explore a new side of music for her, I loved her album every letter I sent you but flash and core definitely feels a bit more darker thematically and slower, the jazz modulations on mirror are honestly so good. Frankly this is an album I will probably often revisit, it feels like something I would listen to if I was walking through the city during autumn or winter and exploring I think the closest I can compare this to music wise is prob Taeyeons something new mini album My favorites are television star, mirror, karma calls, another season with you, in the middle and your yerin. submitted by /u/henrietta- [link] [comments]

I was thinking about K-pop groups who have had iconic eras: not just great albums, but times when everything about the album rollout and promotion was perfectly executed. Here are some of the elements I think contribute to a great era: Music - both title track & full album Music videos Concept photos, films, & teasers Album packaging Costumes, styling Choreo and performances Tour Promotions (release strategy, marketing materials, appearances, etc.) The "story" of the era (Did the era launch them to stardom? Were they making a "comeback" in the western sense?) Do you think there have been eras in K-pop where most or all aspects of the album rollout were iconic, not just the music? submitted by /u/pussycontrolgonemad [link] [comments]

"REVIVAL OF THE RIVALS" lol Hearts2Hearts = SNSD/Girls Generation BABY DONT CRY = 4Minute ILLIT = Wonder Girls IZNA = KARA BABYMONSTER = 2NE1 MEOVV = Miss A KISS OF LIFE = Brown Eyed Girls KiiiKiii = SISTAR Of course these are not accurate! It's not all about similarities of their style and songs. And also, I can't list all groups here. You can add in the comments. Disclaimer: Some factors may affect your opinion compared to yours. So I would highly appreciate your own opinion. submitted by /u/bossbaby_shushu [link] [comments]

Is it normal to lose interest in idols because they look different? In this case I’m referring to plastic surgery, not weight gain, although sometimes drastic weight loss does also affect how i feel about them. Sometimes i look at their posts and all i can notice is how different they look due to plastic surgery. Their face falls into an uncanny valley region for me, and it kind of disturbs me. I feel like that isn’t the person i’ve seen for the past few years, but then i start to feel guilty that I’m judging them based on their looks. In the case of drastic weight loss, all i can notice in their photos are how unhealthy they look and it makes me uneasy to look at them… then again i start to feel guilty for thinking that way. Ive never felt this way about weight gain though. Subconsciously i feel like i like them less, and I recognise this is happening when i start to bias other group members instead. Has anyone else had the same feeling? edit: More thoughts — it always feels like a shame to see them because they looked so much better before and i don’t think getting any work done was necessary. I still do like them but not to the extent that i did previously submitted by /u/lIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlol- [link] [comments]

I am planning to go on October 14, so I would like to ask if it is possible and will it be crowded so what time should I go? I badly want to meet idols even just a few. Please help me especially if you have any experience. I will highly appreciate it. Thank you so much! submitted by /u/themuseee [link] [comments]

I'm just curious since They still have a lot of staffs that need to get paid so how they be able to pay them without any income this year? Not to mention if they really have trainees they have to provide for them too. submitted by /u/Party-Confection417 [link] [comments]

i've been dreaming of being in a global girl group like katseye even before they debuted, and i've always wondered how many members are too many for a global girl group? katseye is six and other popular kpop groups that have blown up in the west typically have around 4-7 members. does a non kpop fan's acceptance of a kpop group have a limit on how many members a group has before it's considered too much? would seven members in a global girl group work in the west? i feel like kpop groups with seven or more members have been debuting less and less and i'm mostly wondering what is the sweet spot for the amount of members in a group? submitted by /u/affectionate_iDoll19 [link] [comments]

They just dropped their pre-release song, SPINNIN' ON IT ahead of their full album coming in a few weeks. As a multi GG stan of many groups, this group just never ceases to impress me every single time. I've been let down by so many times recently with groups leaning way too heavily into talk-singing. It feels like there's been far too much of it lately. But this song? If you love strong, high quality vocals, this is it. It's over 3 minutes long, it's got a gorgeous chorus that actually sings, and yes... it even has a bridge. If you love good, high quality vocals, this song is it. It's over 3 minutes, it's got a beautiful chorus, it has a BRIDGE. I haven't been this satisfied by a song release in months. Please go check it out, you won't regret it. I haven't been this excited for an album drop for ANY group until I heard this song. submitted by /u/GainImpressive8183 [link] [comments]

I'm tired of non-fans and their performative activism when it comes to RIIZE and Xnghan. Every other day, there is a new post about "RIIZE is not the same anymore". If you don't vibe with them, then that's okay, but why lie? They still have the same "Rise and Realize" and "Emotional pop" concepts. Their Instagram aesthetic is still the same. Just recently, they started teasing their comeback, where the members reiterated wanting to be honest with their music and to connect more with their listeners and fans. All this you would already know if you had kept up with them. I watched a TikTok recently where the comments insulted one of the members by calling him a "puppet" for being grateful to their company, dismissing the fact that he is his own person with his own thoughts and feelings, not a representative of a former member or the company. I'm also tired of the backhanded compliments. Yes, Memories and Talk Saxy are fantastic. But so are Love 119, Boom Boom Bass, the entire Odyssey album. I wish people would give them a listen too because the boys worked hard for them. The saddest thing, though, is how many people said that they should just disband. It's as if the 6 other boys were at fault for what the Korean fans did. Why should they have to give up on their dreams and careers? I understand cherishing OT7 and wishing what they could have been together, but isn't it insulting to both RIIZE and Xnghan to keep being stuck in the past? TLDR; RIIZE and Xnghan both deserve to fulfill their dreams and have long-lasting careers. If you vibe with either/both/neither of them, it's fine but I wish people would move on from their headcannon version of 2023 era RIIZE. submitted by /u/luminelover20 [link] [comments]
