Make a 4th Gen Boy Group with me, but only one member of a group can make it! Day 6: Who should be our visual?

Yuna has recently been going viral for "wearing hip pads" AGAIN. I don't know if it's just me but I really don't see why this is such a hot topic? I don't know if she wears hip pads but even if she did, why does it matter? Why does everyone care? It seems like such a non-issue that is being blown out of proportion. People act as if every other idol hasn't had at least some form of plastic surgery and hip pads are some sort of anomaly. “ITZY's Yuna goes viral for wearing hip pads in recent clip” OMG WHO TF CARES??? submitted by /u/Infamous_Egg_5625 [link] [comments]

For me, watching Queendom Puzzle, I lost a ton of respect that I had for Lee Chaeyeon of IZ*ONE fame. She seemed really self-absorbed and unkind to the other idols, not giving them due respect and being incredibly cocky about her dancing. She left the show and people say it's because they gave her an evil edit, but IMO it's because she was embarrassed by her own behavior. Previously I thought she was a really down-to-earth idol who worked super hard to overcome limitations of the industry, but Puzzle left a bad taste in my mouth. Still, I wonder: WAS it an evil edit? Have I been suckered? submitted by /u/aesparules [link] [comments]

The animated background dancers during the bands Ghosts song “dance macabre” on the skeletour are doing blackpinks shutdown choreography. Myself and some others and the Ghost subreddit have noted this and I thought I would share it here as well. Here is a rough side by side video. submitted by /u/just_here_109 [link] [comments]

Since I haven't seen any English website or account talking about this, I'm sharing this update which sheds some light to some things currently happening in Cube. To add some context, Cube has been planning to debut a new girl group. Originally a boy group was going to debut in 2023 and a girl group in 2024, however their plans got delayed with their boy group Nowadays (currently rebranded as Nowz) debuting last year. Cube has also abandoned Lightsum, who have spent most of the year performing at military events and at a couple of festivals. They haven't uploaded any tiktok or youtube content in months and there's no sign of any comeback or music release, despite it's been a year since Pose! which was a low-budget digital release. On July 7th, Cube applied trademarks for 'XOGEANS' and 'NEW GG' which seemed to be for this upcoming girl group. The reactions everywhere were very negative, since the name was a mix of EXO and NewJeans, everyone thinking it that felt lazy, tasteless and disrespectful with no understanding of how the industry works. However, if you check KIPRIS website since July 31st, you can see that the applications are gone and a representative from the company also confirmed they had cancelled those trademarks and they're still in planning stages. What's interesting is that a recent article about this also mentions that several Cube employees have revealed in websites such as Blind that the company's own workers had no idea about the trademark application, not even the department head, as it was one-sidely done by Cube CEO with a team he had a hastily put together by himself without telling anyone. There seems to be complaints that Cube works based on the CEO's whims, not having long-term plans for the future. As a reminder, Cube's CEO is the same person who was accused of allegedly being involved in crypto scams, although he denied the claims that it was a scam, and he's also the person with the largest shares in Cube (36%, in second place is VT with 10%). Cube has been doing a good job with their new boy group Nowz, I've never seen Cube work so hard to promote a group. In one year they've already released almost the same amount of songs than Lightsum in 4 years and they aren't self-produced, they were at KCON LA this weekend (the last time Lightsum went to any KCON was 3 years ago when they were still 8 members), El Capitxn and his team produced most of their new album, i-dle Yuqi and Pentagon Wooseok producing the pre-release that included a Chinese version since they heavily lured Yuqi's c-fans and nevies. And they still have i-dle for 3 more years, so Cube is safe for now. But i-dle are the only ones who renewed with them in the past couple of years while everyone else has been leaving. In April 2023, Cube posted profile pictures of their 40 artists in their building. As of August 2025, 21 artists from those 40 have left the company (and Moon Suin had left Cube in early 2023, shortly before that picture was posted). We'll have to see what will happen with their upcoming girl group, if they will debut this year or if it will get delayed. Whatever plan the CEO had with XOGEANS, it backfired so bad that they had to quickly shut it down and the employees are trying to clean up his mess. submitted by /u/Mundane_Detective_41 [link] [comments]

I have been experimenting with study music for quite some time now. I can't do anything in silence. Tried lofi, piano, binaural, rain sounds, all the usual stuff but all that just ends up making me sleeps most of the time. NCT instrumentals (i listen to the instrumentals while studying), especially NCT 127's are really complex and have dramatic beat switches and a lot of different instruments blended in, which really helps me stay sharp and focused. Just a random though i thought i'd share. submitted by /u/wegooverthehorizon [link] [comments]

ADP replaced KIOF at Kcon and we know what the driving force behind their removal was. Last week or the week before that Tarzzan got exposed for saying the N word and he hasn’t issued an apology, his label hasn’t acknowledged it and I see a lot of Redditors defending him. Compare this to how KIOF was treated, they even apologised multiple times. Tarzzan seems untouchable and unscathed, why is that? Is it Annie Moon’s money and influence or is it classic misogyny. Before anyone says “but it’s different” yeah you’re right, 1 livestream vs someone who’s been appropriating black culture since he debuted. It is very different and he seems to be getting away with it. He even turned up to kcon LA in corn rows . submitted by /u/DumbDumb1000 [link] [comments]

Kpop is selling a fantasy of perfection and yes that includes looks. They're literally called idols. There's plenty of music out there for people that don't care about visuals. I love kpop but I'm not delusional that my favs all got their jobs because they have the most talent, especially not when it comes to vocals. I'm not defending toxicity, I was raised that if you have nothing nice to say then you shouldn't say anything at all, but if all you care about is music and dance there's plenty of other avenues for you to pursue those interests. submitted by /u/tyrico [link] [comments]

Maybe I just have been paying attention to kpop socials last year or the years before, but it feels like damn near every group is having a tour this year. I've seen some people speculate that because BTS might be touring next year that labels wanted to hurry up and get their tours out before they get overshadowed, but I don't think it's that simple. Were these tours just overdue anyway ? submitted by /u/MochaMilku [link] [comments]

Like the title said so basicly the only Korean about KPop is the industry and the groups is based in korea because let's be real here their training system come from Motown record a label that created the Jackson 5 and their Idol system come from jpop idol industry. there's nothing from KPop that uniquely them its all taking influences from other country entertainment industries most spesificly those 2 that i mentioned before. submitted by /u/Icy-Bass724 [link] [comments]

I know size order is more visually appealing, but the nagging feeling of the albums of different groups and eras all over the place is slightly hurting my mental health 🫠 submitted by /u/WilliamVII [link] [comments]

I've been thinking about how a lot of new groups lack formal greetings (i.e. "One in a Million! Hi, we are TWICE!" or "Connect! Hi, we are ENHYPEN"). So, I tried to come up with some for new 5th generation groups. "Dusk to Dawn! Hi, we are All Day Project!" "Get up! Hi, we are RIIZE!" "Knock, Knock! It's BOYNEXTDOOR!" I would love to hear if you guys have any other ones that you've come up with for groups without greetings! submitted by /u/corn-in-a-can [link] [comments]

They always had a really low chance and received the shorter end of the stick but when 2022 hit,with the influx of well anticipated debuts and instant success groups from big 4 companies,smaller ggs got completely overshadowed. With fans flocking to these groups,smaller ggs who debuted before 2022 started loosing ground and smaller ggs that debuted during or after 2022 never gained it in the first place. It's no wonder it's been gg massacre for the past 3 years 2022 remains my favorite year in kpop,I still listen to a lot of 2022 releases and stan some of these successful groups,but I can't deny the damage it did to mid tier/nugu ggs. Prior to 2022 it feels like they had a miniscule chance but after 2022 it was killed. The only gg I can think of that started out small and went viral in recent years is 50/50 and we all know how that turned out. This was inspired by purple kiss' disbandment announcement. I was a purki stan for 3 years and they remain the only grp I stanned pre debut,which was because of their pre debut singles. They are the whole package kpop fans are looking for,but the truth is that often times they don't look outside the big 4 companies and don't come across the talent and diversity there is out there in kpop. Purple kiss had vocals,stage presence,dancing skills and also self produced. I didn't expect them to disband before the 7 year mark. I thought they'd hit 7 years and then disband. I didn't expect them to continue after,but I didn't expect them to stop at 4 years either. Tho with mamamoo,which is rbw's main source of income, being inactive for years and the rest of their artists not being big enough to compensate for their profit,I should have seen it coming. Rbw is not doing well and they're cutting their loses,even if it is at the expense of the fans and the idols themselves. Hopefully smaller ggs get a bigger chance to shine someday in kpop submitted by /u/Alive-Pitch-9180 [link] [comments]

I keep getting video after video on my feed talking about their Golden performance,and dang people are being hella rude. im just gonna preface this by saying i dont stan them, and have barely interacted with any of their content I really just cant stand the hate toward these young girls. People were complaining about their lipsyncing and many comments people were making were "if u cant sing as an idol, then dont be an idol", "whyd choose a song they cant sing", "theyre just dancers atp", and other rude remarks. While to an extent this is true, because as an idol, yes, you should be able to sing live. These girls (to my knowlegde) are ROOKIES. I hughly doubt theur company allowed them to a) choose what song they wanted to sing, and b) choose to sing live or not. I fear this is just peopke trying to create a hate train for a new gg. The hate for Illit, Sserafim, and Itzy is dying down and now they need a new victim. It just hurts me to see how these girls are being treated for decisions they most likely didnt make.
