People have been hating on VVS lately and while there are a few valid criticisms most of the hate feels exaggerated The cussing thing People are upset because two members are under 19 (Jiu is 17, Liwon is 16) and they’ve cursed in songs like Jiu saying “fuck them boys” in DIMM or Liwon saying “bish” in Purrfect. Honestly it’s not that serious, teens cuss all the time and there are bigger problems in the world than a 17 yr old saying “fuck.”people also keep mixing up the members like claiming Jiu said “bad bitches” when that was actually Ilee (who’s 19). And with touch it people say it’s “too sexual,” but the song is really just feminine and empowering. The dance isn’t sexual either they mostly drop to the floor and move their shoulders it’s not even close to twerking(twerking is more in the legs and calves but this isn’t a twerking lesson) The CEO “weirdo” People keep calling their CEO, MZMC, a weirdo or saying he has some sort of fetish for Asian girls or messing with one of their girls which is just weird, he’s been working in Korea for 14 years, used to work with SM Entertainment and actually treats his trainees well no starvation diets, no plastic surgery pressure, regular breaks just because he’s white doesn’t mean he’s creepy. When in fact he treats them better than a lot of korean CEOs😭 Their music and cultural side Some people hate that VVS does hip-hop and R&B, but the girls actually took cultural classes and learned about black culture unlike many groups who use it disrespectfully and are so “uneducated”It’s also funny how people criticize them without even knowing the members’ names. (Someone once thought Ilee was Jiu and said it’s sexual for an “16” yr old to like lil kim?) Not going on music shows People say they’re “irrelevant” for not appearing on shows, but that’s just because music shows are expensive, not every group has BTS money. The name VVS Some say they stole the name from VANNER’s fandom, but “VVS” is also a diamond grade nobody owns that, there are plenty of K-pop names that sound alike so this one’s really not that deep. The lyrics This is the one people get the most worked up about brittney’s line “I got the curves with the Barbie anatomy” isn’t weird her name, Jang In-hyung, literally means “doll,” so it fits and her “I hit him once and he blow me a kiss cause I murder that kitty, that’s her dying wish” line is about her personal experience with guys harassing her and a ref to purrfect not something sexual for shock value. She’s an adult and so are most of the members with “inappropriate” lyrics. Jiu is 17, but she’s almost 18 do people think she’ll magically become “more adult”the second she has a birthday? Their podcast (VVS & CCS) People say it’s “problematic” for them to talk about their experiences, but that’s hypocritical. Everyone says they want idols to be more open then when VVS actually is open people complain🤨 They didn’t trash anyone or expose companies, they just shared their own stories. in my personal opinion it’s so annoying when you guys don’t even know anything about the group but has everything in the world to say, they have valid reasons to dislike but don’t spread misinformation. submitted by /u/Inside-History2848 [link] [comments]

I've been a die-hard Stay since 2019 (Double Knot era), and they're one of my favorite groups ever. In no way am I a SKZ hater or an anti, I love all the boys and their creativity in their work. However, all of that being said, I've started to grow disappointed every time they release new music over the past few years. I think a really good example of this is their newest album, KARMA. The title track was... kind of subpar at best. It didn't hook me like their previous tt's have. The entire album besides 0801 felt a bit lackluster and... meaningless. It's hard to explain, but most of the songs came off with the vibes of "we're tough guys, we rap, we don't care what anyone else thinks of us, etc." And that's a totally fine concept to have. But this same theme has carried over from their newest Mixtape, Hop, Ate, Rock Star, etc. I can count on my hands how many of the songs on these albums over the course of four years that are genuinely meaningful - I'm talking about: the lyrics are straight from the heart, they're relatable to many, and the beat itself isn't a bunch of rap and hype backtracks. Some of their recent work in years that have meaning are: Waiting for us, Youtiful, Cover Me, and maybe a few others. It's pretty crazy that only a few songs come to mind when the rest of those albums are pretty much the same thing over and over again, just wrapped in different packaging. Truman and Creed are perfect examples of what I'm talking about here - the songs sound virtually the same, the lyrics have identical meanings, it all feels the same. This is in comparison to their much older work like Hero's Soup, 19, Chronosaurus, Insomnia, Silent Cry, and perhaps the most meaningful one - Levanter. Maybe I'm biased because their old songs packed with tons of meaning are my favorites, but I just feel so discouraged by their newest work. I understand that it's the artistic direction they've chosen to go in, but it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to get excited about a new comeback when I know there's a 90% chance that it's going to be like everything else they've made since 2021. I think the boys are incredibly talented, and I love that JYP still allows them so much creative freedom with their work. But personally, I'm growing kind of tired of the way things are being made. And every time I try to bring this topic up on Stan Twitter, TikTok or even to my Stay moots they always shoot me down as a SKZ anti - when I'm the opposite of that. I just don't like how no one can give constructive criticism to their faves anymore, because people automatically discredit them as a hater. submitted by /u/Clear-Presence-485 [link] [comments]

I genuinely want to know why fans think some things/jokes are funny. A fan account I follow posted a pic of an idol(specifically a member of stray kids bald). And I don’t understand the joke behind the bald edits. I’ve seen plenty of bald people IRL so I see it as a normal thing. But I just don’t find it funny. And many fandoms post these. I feel like it might just be a kpop thing cause I don’t see non-kpop artists fandoms posting this. And it’s not deep or anything. But I’m just curious if I’m the only one lol submitted by /u/Amaterialgrowll [link] [comments]

Imagine there is a completely fair, neutral, and extremely knowledgeable judge. They do not know anything about k-pop or the people in it. You are to submit a vote to get your idol(s) considered for a list of best K-pop dancers. But the catch is that - you can only use ONE video per idol. One video to prove your case and showcase the idol’s dance skills. The song, stage, set, etc should not matter. Only the dance skills showcased. Which video are you picking? Note: Compilation videos cannot be used. There should only be a single dance item in the video. But if the idol did a special stage mashing up multiple songs into a single dance item, that is allowed. submitted by /u/Nephroku [link] [comments]
