Why is their music video/streams plummeting from icy, not shy, wannabe era too now with born to be, gold, girls will be girls? It’s like it’s been a slow regression over time and I feel so sorry for the girls, yunas comments kill me submitted by /u/EthanFoster10 [link] [comments]

Heeseung is hands down one of the most talented and emotionally expressive vocalists of 4th gen. His voice is clean, warm, and always so full of heart. But lately, especially during the Desire: Unleash era, I’ve been noticing things in his live performances that have me genuinely worried for his vocal health. There are some of the patterns I’ve observed: His neck muscles are constantly flexing when singing, even in softer or mid-range parts — it looks like physical tension, not just emotional engagement. He tends to let go of notes with a squeak or sudden release, especially at the end of longer lines or higher phrases. In their encore (esp. the intro line in "BAD DESIRE"), his pitch comes out lower or more unstable than the studio version— but in all member fancams, his pitch sounds more accurate, which suggests it might not just be a mixing issue but maybe vocal fatigue. These squeaks and tension weren’t as present in older performances (like during I-LAND or early BORDER eras), but now they seem consistent—almost like a habit or coping mechanism. I’m not saying he’s bad now— no, not at all. His talent is unreal, but I’m afraid that with how often he sings live, combined with intense choreo and constant promotions, he might be compensating with muscle tension instead of deep breath support. It reminds me of what happened to Jimin from BTS who also had a beautiful, emotional voice that gradually developed similar signs of vocal stress (neck tension, pitch drops, squeaks, etc.) after years of overuse and pressure. And that’s what scares me— not a "bad performance," but the long-term risk of pushing a naturally gifted voice too hard without enough recovery or technical support. I’d love to know if Has anyone else noticed these changes? Do you think the squeak is stylistic or a sign of vocal fatigue? Should companies be more cautious about how often idols sing live without vocal rest? At the end of the day, I just want Heeseung to stay healthy and sing for many more years. He has one of the most special voices in K-pop—I hope hybe or belift care enough. No hate, just love and concern. Would love to hear you guys' thoughts. submitted by /u/Tricky-Challenge6366 [link] [comments]

This is just my two cents and I’m not judging anyone for using these services nor the idols for using them. I know it is part of their job. Obviously most of us know that something the kpop industry and companies love to do is sell the boyfriend/girlfriend fantasy. There’s so many ways companies do this it’s not just what I’m talking about here. They profit off of fans feeling like they have a chance with their bias, catering to a fantasy. I have seen some of the messages that are sent on apps like Bubble, fromm, toktoq, etc. or even Weverse and some of them are very flirty especially the ones on Bubble where it’s mentioning Y/N and fills in with the persons name. It is just a little weird to me 😭 I’ve never paid for it I just see it on twitter. I would feel kind of awkward getting these relationshippy cutesy messages that sound like something an s/o would send you and it’s literally an idol sending it to millions of people who paid a monthly fee just to receive these messages. I feel like stuff like that adds to the unhealthy parasocial relationships and attachments fans get to idols. Again I’m not judging but it’s a little wild to essentially pay every month to get y/n text messages from your bias. I hope this doesn’t come off as judgmental or mean it’s just my thoughts. submitted by /u/picklesjimin [link] [comments]

(credit to the photo owners) FINALLY years after LOCO era, I can see the effort being put into her styling and makeup compared to other members. If you follow ITZY, usually we can barely see any colours on her face and she will always be put in pants just because she’s the “girl crush” persona of the group. Don’t even talk about her hair that they just straighten and call it a day before sending her on stage. Yes, she’s one of the most naturally pretty idol out there but come on do something with the face card. So kudos to the team for finally figuring things out and I hope that this will continue to be the case in the future!! submitted by /u/Ok-Comfortable9694 [link] [comments]

I’m currently watching Seonghwa’s episode on LMJ Service (literally, as I’m typing), and ofc he sang their latest tt “Lemon Drop”. Am I the only one who thought the intro sounded so much like SKZ’s “FAM” and the whole song felt like a cousin of Tinashe’s “2 On”? Nobody come at me saying I’m hating on them coz I literally put majority of my votes in for them during Kingdom’s final battle 🤨 I have Spreadsheet receipts! Just genuinely wondering if anyone else had the same thought. submitted by /u/Successful-Bike-5731 [link] [comments]

Fly to the youth really screams Wooseok and Pentagon😭 him and Yuqi seem to like the same genre when producing music. Even the rap parts are so Wooseok coded and I miss the group that got me into kpop the first time around. I've always loved Wooseok's solo songs and Yuqi's as well. I've been waiting for this song since it was promoted. hearing the chorus made me think of Wooseok and made me so emotional. I miss Pentagon so badly and I feel bad I haven't been keeping up with the members' solo stuff because it hurts to know that there potentially wouldn't be a reunion soon. So I don't bother looking them up 🙃 But I'm really happy Wooseok produced for NOWZ. Especially knowing the members partook in writing, it's such a good song about experiences and coming of age. I'm always rooting for Cube artists. They're so unique, their sounds, and the talented artists with their personalities! (Even if their company is shit at managing them) NOW I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM! submitted by /u/honeeorspice [link] [comments]
