KPOP Artist x Western Artist collaborations I would like to see

Junhee (member and leader of A.C.E) is making his solo debut in a few days🎉🎉 the mini album The First Day & Night will be released on 12th September 12:00 KST. Junhee dropped Supernova (MV, Audio) as a pre-release single a few weeks ago (do check it out if you can, it's so fun🥃🌟) the album is supposed to contain songs that relate to different hours of the day, like morning, evening, night, and so on Junhee's been working with the producing duo PhD consisting of Daniel Davidsen and Peter Wallevik who have written/produced for Taemin, EXO-CBX, SHINee, Super Junior, Taeyeon, B.A.P., CNBLUE, MAMAMOO, CLC and more for the album. please do tune in if you can, it'd mean a lot🫶 submitted by /u/fried_chicken03 [link] [comments]

The most annoying thing about kpop is the way most of the groups sound - which is bad. Don't take my word for it, hundreds of people on youtube are making well referenced video documentaries about the affect kpop is having on the quality of music... but that's not why Kpop will fail. Kpop will fail because they don't label the freaking members! WTF is wrong with people making music videos? These aren't videos featuring one artist so you know who they are, it's obviously got like 4-40 artists... even if I like their music how the hell am I supposed to know who they are. IT"S SO ANNOYING AND IT"S THE REASON THE WEST WILL LOSE INTEREST IN KPOP. People in the west can put up with bad music, what we can't put up with is nameless faceless blob people who all look and sound the same without any reference or label to who they are as individuals... and here's why.... why would we care anymore when we have to work so hard to figure out who is even singing or who is even who in the band... because you can't tell by looking at the MVs at all. I just spent half an hour trying to find out who one girl doing one part is in an MV, the problem is they all look different in every photo shoot and every MV and they All Look Alike! It's so incredibly annoying! I just spent half an hour trying to find out who one girl in Aespa was because again They Don't Label the Members in the video! and they Don't look like they do in any other photo or video! I went to three different sites, googled it, and finally had to play the video take a print screen of the persons face and then paste it into paint and crop it and upload it to the reddit fansite to ask the fans who it was. WHY IS IT THIS HARD TO FIND OUT WHO IS IN A MUSIC VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I completely LOST interest in Aespa as a group in 15 minutes after I couldn't find out who that member was and I WILL NEVER LISTEN TO AESPA AGAIN OR EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM BECAUSE IT'S TOO HARD TO KNOW WHO THE MEMBERS ARE IN THE MV VIDOES. Was this the goal? To upset the fans by refusing to give them information? In the end THIS is the reason Kpop will fail in the west... because finding out who is singing in the music video shouldn't be work, shouldn't be a chore, and SHOULDN"T FEEL LIKE A DIFFICULT HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT! It's this kind of stupid garbage where they only choose people who look exactly the same and then refuse to even label them with their names so you can't tell who is who, that will cause kpop to fail. Music is supposed to be fun, not make you feel bad about yourself or be a chore. submitted by /u/No_Spare8150 [link] [comments]

I was iffy about Cortis but after seeing James and Martin's predebut work with TXT, Illit, Enhypen, their documentary snippets and now Zion T. saying Cortis is "alternative kpop", it pushed me to give FaSHioN a chance and I really enjoyed it. The lyrics subverted expectations with the members flexing $5 tees, 10,000 won pants and bragging about their thrift shop finds in Dongmyo and Hongdae. I thought the part when a member was called out "Ahn Keonho, no matter what you say about my clothes, I hold my ground" was funny and the shout out to Fruits magazine was great! On another note, I would love to hear some R&B elements included in their next release. Especially after seeing a clip on Twitter of 14 year old trainee Martin singing his heart out to Bruno Mars Versace on the Floor I feel like there's a mine of untapped potential there in that direction. Anyway whilst their debut EP wasn't a complete knock out of the park for me, I'm still looking forward to their future musical output as they seem very passionate about their work. submitted by /u/honeyctrl [link] [comments]

For the many of us who have a little fan account with zero reach I thought it could be nice to share our @ here so we can find fellow kpoppers to interact with on insta. I'm not talking about just growing numbers neither find friends to have personal talks with because that is another kind of commitment, but I am thinking about more organic interactions on social media. Personally my account as zero reach and it feels lonely at times and fanaccs I stumble upon have millions of followers and posts thousands of edits in a day which I find overwhelming and it doesn't feel human-like. I thought some of us might feel the same, so we could find other small pages to follow to make fangirling/fanboying more lively and human :) Sharing accounts under 100 followers only could be good so we can really find the small ones. I hope it's a reasonable idea, maybe it's not but I thought it was worth a try, please do share your thoughts 🫰 (I'll remove or relocate this post this if it goes against any rules or isn't in the right sub). submitted by /u/Reasonable_Matter286 [link] [comments]

I went to GD’s concert 3 days ago and spent $300 in the section 100’s (right behind floor seats) and the view was terrible and i couldn’t see shit. Its not really anything GD did himself that made me regret it but i feel like his prices were extremely unreasonable for the type of view you get. I was honestly just upset the whole show and couldnt really enjoy it. If i was just gonna look at a screen the whole time, i wouldve bought tickets in the nosebleeds. Not section 100’s bffr submitted by /u/Which_Mammoth9402 [link] [comments]

https://youtu.be/ezg4RRonlk4?si=0CB5gSaPdYcGFYdW reminded me of so much kpop fun, and how popular “Adult Ceremony” was. Nowadays there might be cross dressing for Halloween content, but it’s getting so rare. I know we get co-ed TikTok dance challenges, but it’s not the same. It was so much fun. submitted by /u/lchen12345 [link] [comments]

I miss their music a lot and i really didnt think their career would end this soon but I cant imagine any big companies taking them in after everything that happened. Its a huge liability for them and no matter how famous they are, no company is gonna be willing to take someone who violated company contracts and “went behind their backs” to publicly expose them. I wonder what their future is gonna hold submitted by /u/Which_Mammoth9402 [link] [comments]

Inspired by AHOF's fandom name reveal, of all the choices and from the poll that features lots of great fandom name, their names ended up being... FOHA. Yeahhhh safe to say it went pretty viral overnight. I know DIA also went through similar process with them being called AID, which of course the fans probably would be tired of endless AIDS joke already. Just wondering which group would suffer the least with this naming scheme? submitted by /u/EmanuelTheodorus [link] [comments]

I personally think Kpop was still kpopping before New jeans came in the picture cuz now everything sounds like a mix of Pinkpantheres and just super Y2K vibe. (I love new jeans tho) Nobody is original anymore and kpop is 80% english and 20% korean now. No hate to that but I just miss when kpop had mainly korean lyrics and they’d only throw random ass english words here and there. submitted by /u/Which_Mammoth9402 [link] [comments]

Most of us already know the word sasaeng (사생팬), right? It literally means “privacy-invading fan.” It’s a shortened word in Korean: 사생활 침해 팬 → “sasaeng.” Basically, these are fans who cross every boundary like showing up at idols’ homes, following their cars, or even calling their personal phones. Obviously it’s considered harassment in Korea too, and yes, it is illegal cuz it’s basically stalking. What blows my mind is: how do sasaengs even get idols’ private info in the first place? There are rumors that shady insiders sometimes sell phone numbers or addresses like a telecom employee, a rogue manager, or even a “friend” who betrays trust. Nobody knows for sure, but clearly some of the info is real. That’s why you’ll sometimes see idols getting random calls during Instagram lives and snapping, “Stop calling me!” Imagine strangers blowing up your phone or standing outside your house every day. That’s terrifying. Idols are humans too. No one should have to live like that. Has anyone actually witnessed sasaeng behavior or know how they operate? Like how do they get all the personal info and know all the schedule. Personally, I’ve never seen them in real life, but it honestly feels like one of the darkest parts of K-pop fandom that never goes away. submitted by /u/SignificantElk5574 [link] [comments]
