Kang Mina Confirmed To Join Seo In Guk And Park Ji Hyun In New Office Romance Drama

I'm doing research on girlhood/losing girlhood and I like to include things I am a fan of and kpop was the first thing I thought of. I'm thinking about the idols debuting really young... the fans who tend to be really young being consumed with this obsessive culture kpop fandom(and other things) tend to have and even promote and how that could/can affect their lives, growth, mental health, etc... submitted by /u/Mean-Rooster5814 [link] [comments]

In theory it is fine. There are many great pop songs that have natural development and evolution But so many K Pop songs just flip between styles like someone retuning a radio and it sounds so jarring and low effort. Some examaples of it done bad: SNSD - I Got A Boy Aespa - Next Level Aespa - Energy Big Bang - Fantastic Baby (specifically the last 20 seconds) IVE - Kitsch IVE - Love Dive Countless Black Pink songs Some examples of it done well: I am honestly struggling to think of any 2NE1 - Can't Nobody F(x) - Toys submitted by /u/LongLostFan [link] [comments]

1) Comment only 1 girl per country along with a picture. 2) They DO NOT have to be from a K-Pop group specifically, but they do have to be from a girl group! 3) Bi-racial idols are allowed, however, if they win for one category, they are ineligible for another. 4) Votes will be calculated after 24 hours. Nien of tripleS is our Vietnamese rep! For the next round, we’re looking for a representative from Taiwan! South Korea: Jihyo (TWICE) The Philippines: Sophia (KATSEYE) Mainland China: Yuqi (i-dle) Thailand: Minnie (i-dle) India: Sriya (Blackswan) Hong Kong: Vivi (Loosemble) Vietnam: Nien (tripleS) Once we complete this chart, we’ll do the same with a boy group! submitted by /u/sailormusic [link] [comments]

I honsetly would have loved to see a music video for I'll Like You by ILLIT-its just gives a magical vibe I think would be amazing in a music video(but then again, every IlLIT song makes me feel magical😂) submitted by /u/Particular-Rain116 [link] [comments]

Not sure if everyone here has heard the 1.0 version of APT that Rosé shared on The Howard Stern Show. I saw someone comment on it, and it seems like some people loved it while others didn’t. I believe that 1.0 version came before Bruno Mars joined the team, and you can clearly hear the difference before and after his involvement. The version that actually got released just gives off that classic Bruno Mars vibe: funky bass lines, horns, and a danceable groove that feels straight out of 24K Magic. Hypothetically, if the 1.0 version had been the final release instead of the one with Bruno’s input, do you think it still would’ve been a hit — charting on Billboard, winning awards, etc.? Why or why not? submitted by /u/Creepy_Jackfruit8617 [link] [comments]

Let's build a girl group with underrated members on it. here's the rules: Comment 1 idol which you think is underrated along with their picture. One member per group, to give chance on other ggs. also if they win for one category, they are ineligible for another. Idol who is the top comment will be add on the grid. so let's start off on picking our main vocalist! submitted by /u/Yejisauce_ [link] [comments]

I was so taken aback to see this in my recommended feed. I never really see kpop stuff in the major/mainstream subs. submitted by /u/etoilez [link] [comments]

Golden ages are usually identified in retrospect. Golden ages end for a variety of reasons. One is a genre can be so successful so as to just be the default. This happened with prestige TV I think. TV is either reality, sitcom, or heavily using prestige tropes. During a golden age there's usually a strong consensus of what the best one or few things are. Again, "Breaking Bad" in prestige TV. There may (dunno) be better TV today but there's never going to be just one great show like when Breaking Bad was a hit. I think people view gen 2/3 as a vocal golden age in kpop. Like I can just bring up Taeyeon or Wendy as an example of a great vocalist and I'm not really gonna get into a fanwar. It's like the "Breaking Bad" effect. You can't really do that with your gen4 vocal bias and just expect agreement by default. On the "golden age" topic you can sometimes ask the question, what are we in the golden age of, that we might be missing? In kpop it's probably choreo. It did probably replace vocal somewhat, just in that you can only specialize in so many things at once. It's of-the-moment. The thing is choreo+visual is distribution, whereas music as a product can't really self-distribute. Pandemic, kpop choreo+visual and tiktok were a good combo for the industry. It's not really a historical constant. Royal families don't dance (can you imagine?). America's celebrity class doesn't really dance. Singers sometimes do, sometimes don't. Actors and actresses usually don't. In American culture, line dances come in and out of fashion, kpop dance being line dance adjacent. There's not any great reason you'd think the choreo part of kpop will last forever. If any one moment inspired me to write this it's how exhausted ILLIT besides Iroha looks after performing "Jellyous." That just drives the point home to me, yes we are in a very choreo intensive era right now. So if it's peaking now and it doesn't last in 5 years (which it may or may not), I'd call it a golden age. And one reason I like bringing this up now is I always feel a little uncertain about put-downs of gens 4 and 5 compared to 2 and 3's vocal dominance. Like, I got into kpop during gen 4 and 5. I had chances earlier -- when I got into kpop last year I still had these moments like, oh I've seen Sana before, wasn't Perfect Velvet playing at the gym all the time, hey the BOOM BOOM group is coming back. Turns out the choreos and visuals mean a lot to me. Like take "Icarus" for example, that's my SOTY but I didn't "get" it on the album. I "got" it in one of the music shows where I saw the dance was unusually sync intensive, then I basically fell in love with the performance video in particular. Clearly choreo/visual is a very important piece to me even if all else equal I'd take some gen 2 artists on vocals. basically I'm saying give choreo era more credit... it might actually be an era and it might not last submitted by /u/abyssazaur [link] [comments]

Ik this all subjective yada yada yada anyways... KickFlip: imo the best new group of the year so far! They have already released three EP's, each one better than the last. Their bsides in particular follow such interesting and unique song structures and are instant mood boosters dominATE: Even stray kids haters are loving this mixtape. I am not a big fan of the group but this mixtape is quite different than most of the work you know them for. Four songs and no skips. Some of their best work in a while. NiziU: Oh NiziU, I hope your never forgotten. Love Line and What if are their Korean releases of the year and they are both really really good! Maybe Tomorrow: Wow Day6, this song is amazing!! One of my personal favourites of the year. I have not heard the whole album yet but it is also getting a ton of praise. WINTER HEPTAGON: Yall gonna hate me but I think this GOT7 comeback is a tad overrated but it is still a quite strong album and provided that GOT7 still got it. GIMME GIMME: I am not a fan of noise music but this is just a straight up banger. Also recommend the bside Kings & Queens if you want something a lot more tamer but still good. ALL(H)OURS are quite talented. BEAUTIFUL LIFE: This is imo the boy group song of the year so far. Please listen to it and watch the MV if you have not already. I truly believe this is one of those just special songs. Also the whole album is really good. Xdinary Heroes were done right with this EP and song. ITZY: Now I don't really want to talk about the song Girls Will Be Girls as I feel it is a song that is tough to have a productive dialogue on. I personally love it and think it is great but can entirely understand someone who finds it repetitive and bland. However, what is more clear cut is that the bsides are damn good. Anyone tired of the standard ITZY B-side formula, this album is for you. Some genuine creative risks and incredible commitment it to the sound and it pays off. TWICE: Oh TWICE, what can't you do? This might actually be in contention for their best year ever. They released two albums in two months and I consider both of them to be masterpieces. If This Is For the song is not your taste, don't let that fool you from the treasure trove that is the this is for album. A top three album of the year in my opinion. Then we have ENEMY. This album is simply just WOW. If you don't like TWICE's normal music, please listen to this Japanese album. it is nothing like any work they have ever done. I believe it is a timeless album with some real great artistry. NMIXX: Ofc, how could I forget NMIXX? It's not like they did anything good this year... EXCEPT for release the second best album of the entire year and arguably the song of the year "High Horse". I feel there are better people to talk about fe304: FORWARD and its brilliance then me so I will leave it at that but it really does not require much explaining. Conclusion: Yes, JYPE has had some fumbles this year, like NEXZ and VCHA's releases and just some ok stuff like Ceremony (although I will give credit the album is actually quite coherent and there are some really strong bsides), but overall, they have been having an incredible year music wise and JYPE and their groups deserve more credit. submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

ive been a kpop stan for five years now and just like any other fans, i also want to attend a concert one day and see my favs perform irl. my family doesnt like kpop but my parents dont mind me listening to them or buy my favs merch. but my older sister hates them so much and always makes fun of the idols (says things like "they look like girls" or "they are gay") or simply me for liking kpop. it upset me to hear those in the first few years when i got into kpop, i dont want anyone to disrespect what i like, especially if they helped me through a lot. now its been year already and i dont really care about what others say, even if my sister calls them gay now, id think "oh txt definitely do act like one" or if she says they look like a girl id think "yes beomgyu looks like a girl what about it". im going to my first concert this week and i was very excited until i overheard my sister talking to her friend on the phone about me going to a kpop concert. her friend said "put some sense into her head", i dont know why she would say that but it really upset me. is it that wrong to like kpop? submitted by /u/withinyourheart [link] [comments]
