I get that people consider them “overrated” since they’re the most popular ones, and having them as favorites might seem cliché. I follow a few K-pop pages, and they post about every single group except BTS and BLACKPINK. Now that I’ve recently become a Carat and SEVENTEEN is getting more popular, those same pages have started treating them the same way too. And some 2nd gen fans keep on bringing bts just because they’re popular? Like the other day in a comment section, they were talking about how a nugu group from the 2nd gen is the golden group of kpop while throwing shades at bts saying something like “They didn’t bring anything to the table.”. It’s like they don’t want their groups to succeed, once they become famous they are out the window. I mean these groups are popular for a reason. When BTS wasn’t as popular they called it underrated and wished they would succeed and then not giving the energy back when they actually do. It’s also when they don’t bring BTS to the convo just because they are not their gatekeeped group. It’s not like they are some sort of famous person or page where they can get their ass cancelled if they misspoke about jungkook’s iron man socks. submitted by /u/sakura_gems [link] [comments]

I've seen so many people talking about this recently since itzy just unexpectedly dropped a trailer for their upcoming comeback 'Tunnel Vision' on November 10th. Of course we're all excited but I saw someone (Can't remember the post) say that even though the comeback trailer looks good, they are still hesitant to support the release before it's out because they always end up disappointed (Or something of the sort). Now, I am a midzy and I will always love itzy to hell and back, however, I can't say I blame people who feel misled by itzy trailers as of late. The teasers have always made the music seem extremely different to what is being released (Even to me at times). I love the music regardless (Oh Gold the smash you are) but I'm a fan, so my opinion will always be biased. The trailer for 'Tunnel Vision' is sooo cool and it's definitely the type of concept itzy needs. After being experimental for a while, a darker concept which is more targeted to the GP might be a breath of fresh air for everyone. submitted by /u/Infamous_Egg_5625 [link] [comments]

I bit of philosophical discussion but I've been thinking that term "idol" is mostly used in K-pop and generally Asian culture as a word describing person from a group in a music industry but lately I started to wonder should we really idolise them so much? Many don't acknowledge how big impact simple word can have on people's mind. By default we are making them someone to idolise and as we've seen through many controversies not always they are worth idolising. At least morally speaking. They have flaws as every person and honestly I feel like if we would call them as just musicians/dancers/artists it would bring many too obsessed fans down to earth and closer to reality. Maybe even have positive impact on artists themselves by lowering pressure and expectations. Obviously them working hard on music is admirable and can positively impact others but I think we should stop by default making everyone "idol" in the true meaning of this word. Instead give a time and space for them to show what they have. New groups debuts and instantly people start to choose their favourites and someone to "stan". I think regular pop and even Korean solo artists have it much harder to present themselves. Usually they need to somehow grab people's attention by their music or performance and then grow to become someone's idol where now for example in K-pop it's basically instant especially if they are from big company. I feel like it became more of a game then acknowledging someone's talents and effort. Like collecting Pokemon's and choosing your favourites to play with. Even in one K-pop group there can be people that always wanted to do music and people that just are handsome and see it as a good way to earn money. Yet often the second group tends to be praised more then those who truly focus on music. Don't you think it's a bit ironic or maybe just superficial? submitted by /u/TruthApprehensive304 [link] [comments]

On Wednesday, Hwasa released a new single “Good Goodbye”. From the first teaser released, I knew that this song was not going to be similar to her other P Nation releases. I Love My Body and NA both received mixed reviews due to their distinctive “Psy” sound, and people were wanting for Hwasa to go back towards the emotional and lyric-forward music she put out under RBW. Firstly, the song itself screams nostalgia through its beating synths, the 3:43 runtime (astounding for a 2025 Kpop release), and the bittersweet lyrics about leaving someone you love on good terms. The song is pretty much all in Korean besides “goodbye” and “bye” lol, but a lyric that really hit deep with me was: “Goodbye will hurt me, but I'll let the teardrops fall Even if I break in regret, I've loved us after all” Second, the music video is absolutely stunning and looks like a short film complete with its own mini storyline. The overall visual palette is really appealing to the eye, and who doesn’t love a good beach background? The dynamics between Hwasa and Park Jeong-min (the special guest actor in the mv) capture the bittersweet feeling of diving into romance and then leaving, which really reminded me of lyrics of songs like Blue Valentine by Nmixx (fantastic album btw, go check it out if you haven’t!). Reading all the fan theories on Twitter and Youtube about hints and Easter eggs throughout the mv is so much fun, and you can tell that Hwasa and her team put a lot of effort in delivering that sentimental, emotional feeling. What I love most about this comeback rollout released just a few hours ago, but whenever 2 Mamamoo members are together the fandom can’t help but go nuts (OT4 please show yourself soon 🙏). It was revealed a few days ago that for her Music Bank performance, Hwasa would have her bandmate Wheein on stage during her song as a special guest. For those who don’t know, Wheein and Hwasa have been friends since childhood and they genuinely have one of the most beautiful and sisterly bonds I’ve seen. Paired with the lyrical content, while watching 2YG (2 Young Girls, Wheein and Hwasa’s semi-official unit name) dance around the stage and do silly things like jump on a couch it made me a little emotional. I love a P Nation banger as much as the next person, but I’m so happy to see Hwasa return to this style of music for this comeback. It’s already outperforming NA on korean charts and the reception towards it has been really strong amongst her fans. Yesterday, I saw it at #81 on Melon (already higher than her chart performance for her last comeback) and I know it’s going to slowly but surely rise like other emotionally-charged songs have such as Rose Blossom by H1-Key. Congrats to Hwasa, and if you haven’t already checked out the song (and its great orchestral instrumental by Duomo) I think you might like it! submitted by /u/mmmag46290 [link] [comments]

(Link: https://youtu.be/fOZg3OC-WUE) For one, if you've never seen this video: not sorry lmao it kills me so bad. My favorite part is that it seems the korean internet has found it, and i can't stop looking for their comments in the comments section because they think it's funny too. If you need a laugh, go in there and hit the translate button. But I'm also curious because this sound seems to be older kpop, which I'm not familiar with enough to appreciate the mashup as much? The comments are saying it's so 2nd gen/2010s kpop, which makes sense. Aside from surprise Lisa rap, can anyone identify what specific inspirations this song pulls from, and also in the words from the comments, if this would bring Kurt Cobain back to life submitted by /u/SomeRaceHorseName [link] [comments]

These days, it seems like groups are always trying things that are more mature, darker, or experimental. And I don't know about you, but I really miss that super kawaii concept of girl groups from 2009–2012 — those cute songs, funny choreographies, colorful clothes... there was something magical about that vibe that made me smile every time I watched it. We hardly see that anymore today, and I really love that kind of concept. And you? Do you also miss that time or do you think current concepts are better? Are there any old concepts you would like to see return? submitted by /u/Fun-Diver-6166 [link] [comments]

Obviously this whole W korea breast cancer awareness (or should i say party) is currently going viral. Knowing that this event is going on for 20 YEARS and they only made a total of 700k even tho they keep inviting millionaire every year is honestly sad. You can't defend your favourites on this, all of the big groups have attended this event within the last 20 years. submitted by /u/Injeolmie_04 [link] [comments]

Imagine if they actually said something about the cause they were supposedly going to this event for... submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

People on here are literally defending idols showing up to a breast cancer awareness event and not even caring enough to say a single sentence on the matter to spread awareness. Idols literally gave speeches at this event and did not even bring up breast cancer awareness once. Yet people are defending them saying it isn't that deep or just a party or that nobody got hurt which somehow makes it ok. Unacceptable. submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]
