Is this the right subreddit to post this?? Does anyone else feel like the iu cd players battery runs out so fast, idk if maybe its the batteries i use or maybe I use it way too much but for me personally I dont think I use it that much to run out of battery so fast?? Its kinda annoying im changing batteries waaaay more often that i would like. I know you can plug it in with the energy cable but i also like to use it around my house. I hope this reaches ppl who have it lol. 🥹 submitted by /u/Cristiti1 [link] [comments]

sorry i wasn't sure how to title this im not like HUNTING FOR INFORMATION but more looking for something my friend told me about but i can't find any mention of online they said that Jooyi was given many lines in their songs but didn't feature as much in the music videos because the company didn't think she was as pretty as the other members they can't remember where they saw it either

I'm aware there are many newer groups out there with similar situations. I'm using H2H as an example because I just came across a video that said the group only has one member who graduated high school out of eight. Carmen, the Indonesian member, is the only one. Then you have Stella, who dropped out of high school, and the remaining six all dropped out of middle school. That's six out of eight who didn't even finish middle school. Like what? Being an idol may last seven to ten years at best (assuming they are successful), which is only a small fraction of one’s entire life. Sacrificing nearly a decade of youth without receiving compulsory education or basic schooling just for that brief burst of fame feels so problematic. Without fundamental knowledge, formative school experiences, and the social and historical awareness gained during those years, you're at risk of missing out on the very foundation that shapes a well-rounded person. Without minimal education, it WILL cause serious issues later in adult life. I used to think all idols should graduate high school. I don't even expect that anymore. At the very least, completing middle school should be essential, since it not only covers academics but also teaches how to build relationships among peers, interact socially, and develop crucial common sense. I know that being an idol relies heavily on things like looks, talent, and charisma, but even all of those things can be overshadowed by a single careless remark or uninformed action that can cause irreparable damages to your image and career, things proper education helps prevent. I’ve seen people online dismiss this issue with comments like, “Who cares? They’re going to make more money than the average person ever will,” or “Jealous fans are just pretending to care.” But if you’re truly a fan, this is exactly the kind of thing you should be concerned about for your favorite artist. And let’s be realistic here. Most groups don’t end up wildly successful. The ones you see making headlines are only the lucky select few. What about all the trainees and idols who sacrifice their entire youth chasing this dream, only to end up in their mid-twenties with no savings and no education or skills to fall back on in Korea’s hyper-competitive society? Who's gonna take responsibility for them? The labels? Hell no. The labels and parents who enable this are mostly at fault here, but fans who accept this as the “norm” aren’t helping either. I just hope it doesn’t get to the point where people become so desensitized that no one cares anymore. Wait, now that I think about it, I think it already has... submitted by /u/Organic-Cranberry955 [link] [comments]

I know a lot of people stay away from fandoms, or even the online K-pop scene in general, because of how toxic it can get. Honestly, that kinda sucks for me, because I actually enjoy talking to people who share the same interests. And since concerts from groups I really like only happen maybe once a year here, online spaces are the only way I can talk with other K-pop fans. So yeah, how do you guys avoid the toxic side? submitted by /u/Striking-Meal-5257 [link] [comments]

im scrolling twitter and i see pics and videos of jungkook just now at the recent calvin klein nyfw show. he looks good as usual, but besides the point. and i notice all the screaming fans that were waiting for him to arrive. now, im used to seeing this whenever i watch these idol fashion show clips but this time it really got me thinking. how do fans know exactly where these fashion shows are/ where these idols will appear?? i was curious and tried to search on google and twitter to find where the ck fashion show was and i found nothing. after intensive digging i found the location but it was only after the show has already finished. and it wasn't somewhere obvious like the ck hq or something. are these so called fans (*ahem* stalkers) paying the paps to give them the info? but in the case of Jungkook, there were SO many fans there, they couldn’t possibly ALL have bribed paps or official sources for the info, right?? Genuinely how do they find this information, esp since he was apparently announced to be at the show literally like a day or two ago. i know im jobless, but im not THIS jobless. submitted by /u/Spirited_Account_252 [link] [comments]

I already knew it wasn't gonna be everyone's cup of tea because other than the title track, it's not what you think of when you hear the word "Kpop." All of it is such a 180 from what she's been doing for most of her life, and it makes me so happy that she did her own thing and nailed it 💯 I'm a sucker for this alternative indie style music, whether we talk Korean, Japanese, English, or any other language. Every song was so dreamy and chill. My favorite was RIBBON cuz I loved the instrumental and how its flow shifts from the rest of the album, and Sumin's feature was also a total chef's kiss. Closing the album with a song like My Guitar was actually a great choice imo and was giving heavy Meaningful Stone vibes. Also, more than anything, what makes it truly amazing overall is that it's ALL HER. Seeing her go this creative, I just know even when she leaves JYPE in the future, Twice becomes inactive, or maybe she decides not to be an idol anymore eventually, she'll do just fine as a decent indie artist if she wants to continue making music. Never thought I'd be saying this, but Lil Fantasy might be my favorite Twice solo just because I don't consider it Kpop. Which one's my favorite within the Kpop genre is another discussion LOL Hope everyone who's into this type of music can appreciate this album, and I wish her the best 🫶 submitted by /u/beelzebub2099 [link] [comments]

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Hey everyone, today, Twice member Chaeyoung debuts with her first solo album, one that she helped co-write and co-produce. I’m curious to see what her solo album will sound like and how different it will be from the rest of the solo albums from Twice we've got. I have a feeling that Chaeyoung will deliver something that will be different and fitting for her style. Now, let’s jump into the record and see what the singer has to bring to the table with her first studio album. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ https://preview.redd.it/0e0kmiwd1sof1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31d5916ef555df8fb4e4ca129f9189183e589c7e LIL FANTASY vol.1 - Chaeyoung AVOCADO (feat. Gliiico) The opening song on the album is a collaboration with a three-member band from Tokyo. The track has this indie-pop vibe that works well with the vocals from Chae. The guitar and percussion help craft this indie vibe that I find perfect for Chae. Chae goes for this soft vocal delivery that fits the laidback vibe that the instrumental brings to the table. I love the relaxing feeling this song provides as it opens up the album in an interesting way, getting me curious to see what’s next. Chae puts on a chill performance that blends wonderfully with the overall vibe the producers crafted. https://preview.redd.it/dbo4iski1sof1.jpg?width=3045&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eadc910578477e45683c1035945100586f44c3e8 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ BAND-AID The second song on the album comes in with an Indie-R&B vibe with the slick guitar that fits her whisper like singing. I love the smooth nature this tune delivers as it’s been pulling me back for more since I heard it this morning. The instrumental has a bit of a funky vibe to it, which fits the singer’s performance. The hook has been growing on me with each listen that I’ve given this tune. BAND-AID still keeps that chill vibe from the opening song, but I’m still enjoying the momentum this tune has. https://preview.redd.it/txuorsgm1sof1.jpg?width=194&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca0a4b634047686be084a6437148e7814f08f26b ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ SHOOT (Firecracker) The title track for this album picks up the tempo, going for a funky-pop vibe this time around. I loved the way Chae fitted with the instrumental from the piano to the guitar to even the synths that craft the funky vibe. The funky-pop vibe or even disco sound still keeps that chill nature in a bit of an upbeat way. The hook is something that will be stuck in your head since the melody is a catchy one. I’ve definitely had this one stuck in my head since the first time I heard it. I’m glad they picked this one as the title track cause it’s the most title track worthy song on the whole album. https://preview.redd.it/ilop3fiq1sof1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2175146df52fc9d94f12a954d005cd4a755343a3 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ 4. Girl Girl is the fourth song on the album, bringing in a thumping vibe with the guitar and percussion. The chill vocals from Chae fit in a smooth direction as she glides across the instrumental. We still get a relaxing nature with a bit of an upbeat tempo. Chae’s performance is smooth, blending perfectly with the melody the producers crafted. It did take me a couple of listens for this tune to grow on me, cause I needed more time with it. The more I hear this tune, the more I fall in love with the vibe and the thumping nature it delivers. https://preview.redd.it/kr42zxfu1sof1.jpg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbd0a24c32fc2aea689515d9b24f94f3c23ce35b ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ RIBBON (feat. SUMIN & Jibin) Chae teams up with Sumin and Jibin for the fifth song on the album, which might be the weirdest track on the project. The instrumental sounds a little bit cluttered, but I still think it works with the performances. Chae’s voice blends with the thumping bass and percussion that move the song forward. The vocals from Sumin have lots of vocal effects on them, making her sound like a robot at times. I do like the way Sumin adds her vibe to the mix, blending with the vibe Chae brings to the table. I find this collaboration to be a weird one, but one that adds to the album and one I’ll be listening to a lot. https://preview.redd.it/ipk6vf4y1sof1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d235c2f591161941039bc19c34a80c3ca728acc2 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ DOWNPOUR The first short song on the album, coming in at 1:49 seconds, sees Chae teaming up with KAI. One thing I noticed is that Chae’s vocal performance reminds me of the artist Yaeji, whose music I like a couple of tunes. The instrumental has a slick vibe to it, feeling like something Yaeji could put on her album. Even though this track is short and feels like it comes and goes, it still works. I wasn’t overly impressed with the tune during my first listen, but the more I hear it, the more it’s starting to click with me. https://preview.redd.it/0bsz0ba22sof1.jpg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=190447e75c6ab5ed9b00a2b9149458b771d78ffb ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ 7. BF BF is the second shortest song on the album, coming in at 1:32 seconds. The track goes for this drum machine indie-pop vibe that sounds like someone made it in their bedroom. The smooth vocals from Chae are smooth as she fits with the vibe. I also find that BF sounds like a demo version of a track that she didn’t finish, but it still fits with the vibe of the album that the singer delivered. https://preview.redd.it/alb7n4362sof1.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b6f67f2fef5b2b6cf410656f898d171d8a481d9 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ 그림자놀이 Synths and music box effect come into the mix, blending with the vocals from the singer that work with the thumping vibe. The vocals sound like they go in and out to create this vocal effect. I find the instrumental second with the drum and bass effect interesting. I feel like this tune is more instrumental than singing, but that’s not something I’m upset about because it still works for the singer. https://preview.redd.it/x1lw403a2sof1.jpg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5150a6034af4eaf1a4158e14a89c6a551d2e0216 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ 9. 내 기타 The closing song on the album is going to be my bedtime track, as it has a chill vibe that fits the singer and closes out the album perfectly. I love the acoustic nature of this tune as Chae makes this track sound like a lullaby. I’ve been listening to this tune like crazy cause it works wonderfully as a closer and one that might be my overall favorite on the record. I’m glad she picked this tune as the closer. https://preview.redd.it/8xchgquc2sof1.jpg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61dc25dc24a380ef182d8109c3c4721442bb8f13 ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Summary: Chaeyoung released her first solo album, which goes in an indie/experimental direction. I find that Chae had a vision for her album, and she executed it perfectly. I still think this album will grow on me the more I hear it, cause it’s the most different-sounding solo album from a Twice member. I’m also curious if she has more songs to release a second project that dives deeper into that Indie/experimental sound for the singer. I’m glad Chae went solo, and I’ll see if I continue to listen to the album or not. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ https://preview.redd.it/sebf9gnk2sof1.jpg?width=273&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b7e0d844c181aa1c69f6cd53dc4d32d8c766bc5 submitted by /u/Maltifandom23 [link] [comments]

Day One over and done with, you guys were screaming out for your favourites, but consensus won the day and Red Velvet's Wendy is our Main Vocal! Day 2 is Leader time, from the votes on Day 1I think I know who we'll likely end with, but I'll leave it to you to do your stuff. Also bonus challenge: Suggest a name for the group with your vote! Time to choose our group's Leader! submitted by /u/ginginbonbon [link] [comments]

their GMA performance happened to pop up on my timeline so naturally i stopped and watched it and all i can say is… their center/division team clearly didn’t learn with what went on in 2022 and im talking for their benefit because it can’t keep on happening again and again they’re lucky it isn’t 2022 anymore where the hate isn’t as intense and they have a bigger fanbase but again the fact that history repeats itself makes me upset for them cus we know they have a better potential so i hope they’re seeing some VALID criticism whoever is their performance director NEEDS TO STOP GIVING THEM CHOREOGRAPHY WHICH HEAVILY RELIES ON CAMERAWORK AND BACKUP DANCERS 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 it was already bad enough when the ppl were hating on their choreo and that’s when the backup dancers were included but now the with the GMA performance it sucks even more without them and im sorry but they looked goofy as fuck doing the choreo also a little bit off topic but seeing the spotify streams shows that not a lot of people enjoyed the song and it actually reflected rather than it being just all talk, now obviously a million streams is more than good but when you compare it to their previous cbs you can see a bit of a decline to sum it up: their team needs to sit down and talk about their 2026 plans for their betterment otherwise (and GOD FORBID) we will slowly see them falling in the sm gg basement trap submitted by /u/Free-Application860 [link] [comments]

I was craving this eerie and dramatic vibe from him so bad!! 😩🔥 Gotta love when bro makes songs that feel like the world is ending or something. Also, funny how at the same time, FINALE sounds so peaceful and relaxing lol. Wish they did an MV too, but both songs are just so damn good that I can't really complain about anything xD Hope we get to see him perform it live soon. submitted by /u/beelzebub2099 [link] [comments]

Edit: walls* I have only really been buying albums for 2 or 3 months, and I'm waiting for like 13 albums so this will look wildly different when those arrive, but I want people's opinions on how it looks so far. submitted by /u/EpicUserName00 [link] [comments]

It's live from radio and raw without someone change any sound from the original video But credit to the mic for capturing his vocal so clearly. Even Baekhyun was surprised of how great the mic was. submitted by /u/Personal_Damage6616 [link] [comments]
