Korean Beauty Standards Have Gotten Weird?

The music is great and they are quite prolific, but there is very little about them in SM and I am not sure how much of the information is fabricated. There are very few videos which look AI manipulated or produced. Until now I just could find the given names of the four members, the producer behind Kai Label Music (who is said to be Japanese) and that it is a "digital Kpop group). Maybe someone is more wiser than me and knows something more? submitted by /u/Kaninusferoingus [link] [comments]

So I went to see Stayc in concert last week in concert. During the final songs the members were walking up and down the aisle. I was lucky enough to be in aisle seat so I instantly pull out my phone, put on the face camera to record as I see them walking down my aisle. Yoon walks by stops for a second, looks at the camera and gives a piece sign. I'm all excited jumping up and down like I JUST GOT A SELFIE LETS GOOOO. ONLY TO REALIZE I WASNT RECORDING THE WHOLE TIME!!! Ahhh the realization after hit me so hard I felt like tearing up, but I was still excited just the fact she walked by me. Then 2 other members walked by but they didn't bother looking at the camera and they are so short too they were barely in frame too. But the selfie with Yoon was so good and I hate myself that get any of it when I HAD IT!!! I have been trying to cope so hard since last week on how I can make such a mistake. I found just 1 video of that part online buts it's from the balcony and it's only from behind. I have given up trying to find other angles. Anyone else have a similar story? I can't be alone in this, this haunting my soul and it will continue to happen forever 😭😭 submitted by /u/Separate_Ad1156 [link] [comments]

Some time ago Yoon-ah from the legendary Girl's generation annonces that she will no longer be animating MBC Gayo Daejejeon show. So they basically needed someone to replace her, And here is the problem. They choose Annie Moon.. For those who are not familiar with Annie Moon she's a membre of All-day project a group under THE BLACK LABEL and also happens to be the grandchild of Samsung owner. The producers justified their choice by saying that they wanted a face that people are familiar with and a big name and big popularity in the new gen, I don't mind putting new faces from the 4th/5th gen it's abviously a good idea, but Annie ? What did she accomplish to be almong big names of the 4th/5th gen ? For me it's clear nepotism and abuse of statue, when you have big names in Korea like Woonyoung, Karina, Yujin.. idols that really made a name for themselves in the industry. submitted by /u/PhilosopherIll4453 [link] [comments]

First of all let me be completely honest and say I honestly struggle to side with the company ever, so this post might be biased in that sense. Bu seeing some of the backlash EXO CBX has gotten has made me think of other recent lawsuits in kpop (eg. Fifty Fifty, NewJeans) or even just threatened legal action (Bom). It seems like generally speaking there have been a few cases one after the other where the idols accusations don’t hold up in court (I know some of these legal procedures are still ongoing), yet mediations fail and the idols continue to stick to their plan, even when it seems to not be working. There have also been a few recent cases of poaching. Now, to me this is less of a sign of idols being greedy, as some put it, and really just shows a dangerous pattern of idols either 1) being willing to give up a big part of their careers and profits to be able to leave a company 2) seemingly being vulnerable to terrible legal counsel and surrounded by people who do not have their best interests at heart. Regardless of what it is, and I think it's both, I find it worrying. In pretty much none of the cases I have cited did the idols involved in the lawsuit gain anything at all. Above all, to me that means that their careers put them in vulnerable positions that people easily can take advantage of. Let's also remember idols are not recognised as workers and lack labour protections. I think it's safe to assume that idols get thrown extremely young into environments that I am sure are full of opportunists. It’s easy to say we are talking about adults, that they should be smarter, that but what does that mean when you have not grown up in a normal environment with the right kind of support and safeguarding? I really don’t mean to baby idols or insult their intelligence, rather I just want to point out that the kpop industry doesn’t seem to offer them good contracts or good support systems at all. I always see many comments along the lines of "what did XYZ idol expect, they broke their contract, this is the law, now they have to pay". I understand that, but I also wish people would look at these lawsuits with more compassions towards the actual people involved rather than the corporations. These contracts are drafted by companies FOR the company, not for the idols. They are often binding for way too long and an idol's relationship with their company starts when they are underage, which I think makes subsequent renegotiations extremely fraught and challenging. The way I see it, there has to be some deep seated unhappiness and discomfort for any idol to try break their contract, or sue their employer, or whatever else. And I just find it sad to see so many of these cases not working out for them at all, because more often than not it’s career ending. To me, that’s a concerning pattern that says a lot more about the industry than it does about the idols, and just points to the fact that idols generally need better contracts, better safeguarding, better labour protection, better support systems. Does anyone else think the same? I just wish for everyone involved that these contracts were shorter and easier to break really... submitted by /u/tinuvhiel [link] [comments]

Found these tier lists and thought why not try and see where we at. It got pretty hard at some point rearanging the groups. In the end I realised that I haven't listened to so many groups, or some of them I didn't realise the logo of. But I'm happy with what I'm currently listening to. Tho if someone has any big suggestions, please share, I love exploring new groups, just don't have the time right now. PS. No opinion are groups that I have listened in the past, just not their whole discography, like some songs but listen to them rarely. submitted by /u/Powerful_Glove_4112 [link] [comments]

Hi guys, I hope I am posting with the right flair and on the right place. I made an animated video for ATEEZ's Castle, and I really wanted to share with you. I truly hope, if you enjoy their songs, you'll enjoy the video as well. It's a comfort song, one of their b-siders that I truly love. I worked on this for a bit more than 3 months. I am not an animator, just an artist, but I wanted to learn something new... Ps. They are my ultimate group, but I also listen to many others like SKZ, Exo, Dream Catcher, Enhypen, Seventeen, Blackpink etc etc. 🫶🏻 If anyone wants to hop into a discussion on more different music. 🌟 submitted by /u/HailBlade [link] [comments]
