Let's be positive-Mention one time that your fandom/the community in general was so unserious and funny that you loved it, it had you laughing so bad

I was really excited to see the girls and I think they did a really good job with the song choices. I wanted to see rosé perform apt and that was so happy when I saw it happen. I really wish the venue was better though, no one told me it would be like a 4km walk just to get to the stadium that’s located seemingly in the middle of nowhere….. so I was late for the intro and first 3 songs and when I got there I saw that the seats didn’t even have numbers on them so I couldn’t even find mine! I was able to luckily find an empty seat but I felt really bad for the people who came even later and had to sit on the stairs. I also wish Jennie could’ve added to her solo performance with her song solo, and Lisa could’ve made an amazing entrance with her solo debut song lalisa. Those are old songs but also really iconic. I think the worst part besides getting there though was getting home…. I saw no public transit route back to mississauga and had a throbbing headache so I knew I had to find somewhere quiet to rest. Told my mom that I had taken temporary refuge in the lobby of a condo and asked her to pick me up which look a really long time due to all the traffic and blocked roads…. I couldn’t uber home because i had spent more on merch than I had anticipated, I knew it would be sort of pricey but I didn’t see $70+tax for a tshirt or even $8 for a can of pop coming! Overall I’m glad I had this experience. This was my first kpop concert ever and I think they did a great job. I think the event organization definitely could’ve been better. Getting there and back was beyond exhausting, and I wish we were given some kind of warning/clearer direction about that, and also given a heads up about the merch prices beforehand so that we could plan ahead on what we want and be prepared to pay for it. What were your thoughts on their 2 days in Toronto? Also did anyone get to personally meet any of the members somehow? submitted by /u/redlipstick1010 [link] [comments]

So, for some context—I’m a hyper-fixation type of person. I have a ton of hobbies, but I focus on one at a time for a long period and then hop to the next. Kpop is one of my “hobbies” in a way, and I spend long periods of time catching up and immersing myself into Kpop before checking out and then moving onto something else. I’ll spend time focusing on some other things (like books/other communities) and then come back to Kpop after a while. And one thing I’ve noticed is, everytime I come back to Kpop, my mental health declines rapidly. I’ve been going through the latest Kpop cycle as of late, catching up with stuff and checking social media and honestly… it’s exhausting already. I’m part of a lot of other communities like booktok, the art community, marvel/DC, and other niche TV show/singer community and honestly… nothing sucks my soul more than kpop. Now I’m aware that all these communities have their own issues as well. But I think the appeal with them is that I can focus on the product that comes out of them without having to overtly engage with fandom. It’s easier to curate people with like minded opinions on a TV show in comparison to a LARGE kpop community. And more importantly, feels less icky because I’m talking about fictional people and not real ones. I guess my point is that I just feel sad that Kpop makes me feel this way. That everytime I get back into fandom spaces all I see is negativity. All I see are fandom wars on twitter for the stupidest reasons, idols being racist (what’s in the air this year seriously) and being cancelled and then idols not doing anything and also being “cancelled”. It’s just… it’s a lot. And it hurts. I’ve been a Kpop fan for close to 8 years now. I’ve seen almost a DECADE in this shit, and I’ve come to learn that more than anything, I dread it. I dread feeling excited for new releases because there’s always a caveat attached to it. Dread opening twitter because god knows which idol is going to be strung through the wringer today? And it makes me sad. Kpop is supposed to be fun… but where is the fun?? submitted by /u/Feeling_Neo [link] [comments]

not saying this goes for all fans or fandoms but it's something i've noticed. just because an idol isn't smiling all the time doesn't mean they're not happy. especially as an introvert, i don't tend to show lots of emotions on my face so for all the introverted and less emotionally expressive idols, it's hard to face the hate and disappointment. submitted by /u/Separate-Addendum-52 [link] [comments]

What happened to their music and concept? I know they started with 127 remakes and that Love talk song demo but they eventually found their sound and image it felt like. They used to do songs like Take Back or Turn Back Time or Nectar and Miracle but now get songs that sound like Shinee demos from 2014 or 127 rejects. Why did SM change their concept so much? Their fandom seems like they left too their Spotify streams are nugu company level. What happened to them? submitted by /u/mannimonn [link] [comments]

I present to you Lee Heeseung of ENHYPEN genuinely one of the most attractive male idols i've ever seen submitted by /u/miluvhee [link] [comments]

there are so many instances when i’m listening to kpop and feel like recommending some songs to my friends but i can’t, they won’t even give them a try bcs well it’s kpop kpop is so unique, the concepts, the groups, the music shows, albums, merch, fan culture everything is so different and it’s fun, some groups are soo creative with their music, and omg the production quality is insane, like the mvs, choreos, vocals, lyrics, concerts ??????? i know kpop is quite big rn but i feel like it would be more mainstream and more ‘accepted’ if people weren’t so rigid about their opinions on it, i mean it is still very heavily judged and ngl the sense of community with fandoms feels amazing, ofc there are the downsides but like every industry is problematic in some ways, and honestly ever since i’ve become a kpop stan, i’ve become more aware about various issues, im open to discussions on such topics when it comes to ‘hating’ on kpop but blatant hate bcs its korean music? nah 💀 all in all i just wish people would be more open to kpop, i just wanna recommend songs i love doing that but don’t have the right audience 💔 submitted by /u/flwrbts [link] [comments]

what are some great performance songs? the non-casual listening ones, the title tracks, powerful and energetic songs groups would perform at year-end music awards shows, songs that are better enjoyed with a choreography. my favourites are: dionysus and idol by bts, ember to solar by riize, drunk dazed by enhypen, monster by exo, answer and wonderland by ateez submitted by /u/seigfried0401 [link] [comments]

was going through my old playlists and realised how I've gradually lost interest in one of my super favorite groups and I don't vibe with their music anymore... wanted to hear from others who might relate. like were you ever a super dedicated fan of a group, thinking youre in this fandom shit for life only to eventually drift away over time? If so, how do you feel when you see those groups now? What’s it like when you come across their new releases or occasionally come across posts from their fandom? submitted by /u/KpopElite [link] [comments]

Ive seen a few snark subreddits here and there, and I just think to myself, “how jobless does someone have to be to just hate on every single thing a group does?” It baffles me really. It’s giving you live in your parents basement, on their wifi, sad you cant get none bc no one likes you. Like cmon now. And you can tell that most of them are teenagers. I would hope that they’re not older than that, or that’d be embarrassing 🤡🤡 submitted by /u/ConversationKey276 [link] [comments]

I’ve brought up to moas how in the txt spin-off soobin and kai jokingly call a darker skin mii character cutie pie and then laugh and say “what a character”, not to mention their repeated comments about how beomgyu is “too dark”. They also continously make fat people the butt of their jokes by calling eachother fat and big all of the time. I also noticed in an ateez wanted episode there was a character with a curly afro hair wig and yunho said they looked like a lion which is incredibly ignorant. I also found a post from sakura fat-shaming a group member from one of her former j-pop groups and covering it up as if her account got hacked (you can clearly tell it wasn’t). Yet everytime I bring this stuff up people cuss me out or make some excuse that infantilizes these grown adults as if all their intentions a pure despite the glaring issues with what they’re saying. Honestly it’s making me a little disgusted with my fellow kpop stan’s because they excuse this bad behavior all the time because of their parasocial relationships with these idols. YOU DONT KNOW THEM??? If an artist from anywhere else did these same things you would cancel them immediately… just because their country is less progressive doesn’t mean they can’t be and doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be cancelled for hateful behavior. The excuses are honestly getting really disappointing. submitted by /u/PackageMuch4336 [link] [comments]
