Make a western artist Kpop group, day 4

Ew trump. I do not support any misogynistic, white nationalist, incel, hitler-like (esp. Musk), racists at all and neither does this sub and apparently neither does reddit as a site as a whole. He stands against everything Kpop stands for which is an art form from a formerly colonized people from a country that is rising up against colonialism and hatred. Anyone who comments anything negative to this, or tries to defend that orange guy will be banned permanently. Go somewhere else, we don't want your lower kind here. This is why American women everywhere are going 4b EDIT!!!: 4B 4B4B4B4B4B!! 4B IN THE SOUTH, 4B IN THE NORTH, 4B FROM TEXAS TO ALABAMA, FROM BYU TO COLOMBIA! 4B ALL FIFTY STATES!

Hey folks! Over in r/kpop we just posted a new special Town Hall that is focused only on the Flairs we use to help organize our posts based on content categories. Link to r/kpop's 'All About Flairs' Town Hall We included announcements for new flairs here on r/kpoppers and also on r/kpophelp. The following is the section relevant for this subreddit. NEW FLAIRS! Connect - This flair will be used for anything where fans are trying to socially connect with each other. Announcing new K-Pop subreddits or Discords, looking for mutual fans on social media, wanting to meet up at a concert, seeking fans in a region to form a dance group, networking for a fan project, announcing a K-Pop night at a club, etc. Research - Academic surveys related to K-Pop or fandom topics. We'll keep an eye on these new flairs to see if they create any confusion or need adjustments. Let us know if you have any thoughts, concerns, or questions! submitted by /u/alleybetwixt [link] [comments]

The subreddit is mostly uncensored as long as people follow the rules. Generalizing statement about Korea, Korean society, etc or most other countries are not acceptable except under the following standards: The only claims that are acceptable when generalizing Korean society in this sub are those that bring up generalizable stastical claims by the standards of the international statistics institute. Not only do the vast majority of stastistics you can find on the internet about Korea not up to this minimum, basic standard but this requirement includes having ample sample size, blocking by relevant demographics and sometimes even double blind tests. So if you make a generalizing claim, your wording must be properly formatted and links to the relevant studies provided. In other words, the standard for making a generalization is very high in this sub. Not to mention the wording for your claim has to be properly made. Anyone who has taken a college level statistics class will know what I am talking about and we may even require you to provide the confidence level interval if it's relevant for your study. If you cannot meet these standards, I would just avoid doing it in general. submitted by /u/Kpop_Love_Forever [link] [comments]

Yes, I am back with more realisations that I had no clue about the greater music industry, especially kpop as a whole. In this post, I will only be sharing JYP and KPOP DEMON HUNTERS as examples. I cannot focus on everything, unfortunately. Recently there was a instagram video of JYP leading Bible Study seminars (YT sermon here). At first, this may seem like nothing much- but when considering that he rules over megahouses like Stray Kids and TWICE; it makes sense why a lot of kpop may be more old school in its expression of values and sentiments- this man has got a HUGE hand in the way kpop music is shaped- and hell I now understand more why people moan about CEOS of certain companies like HYBE, and why some situations reflect the more dominant traditional views. And with his role in politics, this guy can further influence and change the balance of what kinda kpop is released and what kinda kpop is cancelled. And yea I get it, a lot of countries are ruled by more traditionally-leaning CEOS and companies, so this isn't unique to South Korea nor KPOP alone, but this is a kpop forum. And then in regards to KPOP DEMON HUNTERS, people state that EJAE and Maggie Kang's (in regards to Maggie Kang, all I could find were suggestions on Instagram, so do not quote me on that) Christian values have influenced the storyline of this movie. Now, in regards to Christianity as a whole, it's okay as a faith but can vary in terms of which sects are more open to diversity and newer, more liberal perspectives on politics, media and daily life. EJAE even quotes, "That sounds like what an Idol is," EJAE, who has worked with several K-pop bands, said. "I was raised Christian and remembered it's a sin to idolize something. So, it was like a twist of 'I'll be your Idol.' It was kinda creepy." "Your Idol" was inspired by EXO's songs "MAMA" and "Obsession," she said." EXO's music isn't afraid to touch upon very dark topics so it's interesting to see her contrast the Saja Boys to EXO's music. It seems that the groups with concepts that touch upon darker topics are seen more as 'sin' than entertainment; and it's an interesting perspective for EJAE to share. When I consider this, I wonder- is this partly why ATEEZ is often so outwardly contrasted to the Saja Boys? A lot of ATEEZ songs are about breaking walls, overthrowing regimes, seeing through propoganda and facing the very darkness that some Christians would abhor thinking of; songs that completely dismantle the status quo. It makes me wonder if these people may not be a fan of the messages showcased in ATEEZ music, hence why the Saja Boys are portrayed as evil demons who take souls- though to me personally, ATEEZ music helps me face my own demons and reclaim my own self worth from society's messages and pressure to uphold the status quo, so I kind of view ATEEZ music from a completely opposite lens. However, I don't want to assume anything negative, as Maggie Kang herself visited ATEEZ, and this is not aimed as a critcism of either side, just a possible interpretation. I wonder how this links to the greater KPOP industry as a whole- I think I was very blind to how it faces basically identical issues in Hollywood as well. I guess I was very naive again, as it makes sense for more traditionally minded people to be at the top of any industry in many countries, not just South Korea. Of course music has incredible power in shaping societal views and perspectives, and these are just a few basic examples (I can't list everything here). It makes sense that traditional stuff is the tea in kpop, it's the tea in everything. I can't even watch a movie without something getting censored or ripped out because it doesn't fit the dominant ideologies of this era; but hey! At least things are more open than they once was in the past. submitted by /u/AngleFormal [link] [comments]

What do you think about a tour of KDH singers, together with different former/current idols covering the soundtrack? Plus bringing their own songs, like I Am. I’m thinking surprise guests, dates, combinations (Ejae + Blackpink, etc) could get people more excited. From the perspective of Kpop industry as a whole, or the Kpop business participants (Black Label/JYP through Twice), this is the most direct way to convert KDH fans to listeners. Actual Huntrix/Saja. You could just go maximum vocal and star power, but have some surprise around who will perform at what show. Because current idols will be busy, and former ones might not want to make a big work commitment. Have different big names just build off each other and the movie. It seems like it could get repetitive, but I’ve heard of artists doing the same song multiple times at a concert. To avoid repetition, you’d have guest idols do some of their own songs. That would extend the concert runtime beyond the soundtrack too. Ive’s I Am seems like a must. There seem to be references to DDU DU DDU DU in How It’s Done. Have some marketing around the big names, and maybe a lottery like element where you don’t know if one (member/group) of them will show up. Like say Rose commits for a specific date, but will also be at one surprise date. I mention her since she’s Black Label, English fluent, and I’d think it would be mutually beneficial. People are excited to hear Ejae. Have her sing some songs she wrote besides the soundtrack, like Armageddon or Psycho. Or join idol groups and sing one of their songs. Or have someone like Rose join the Huntrix songs, not just covering them solo. Have a male idol sing a female song—Stray Kids doing How It’s Done—or females sing Soda Pop, etc. Possibly a mix of stars and talent from different times, with different levels of recognition. Something to sell Kpop, its talent, and some earlier idols who paved the way. Not too many other songs to dilute the focus, but enough to reinforce the idea KDH was born out of a love of Kpop. Maybe well-known current or former idols or singers from Kpop like Ailee. Some lesser known strong vocalists. Or possibly even idols who can capably sing a song of their choosing. A simpler KDH business brainstorm than my last one Note: I wrote this almost two months ago but didn’t get to post. Maybe this idea will be obsolete soon, if they actually tour and it works without guests. That would be a short concert, where they'd have to repeat songs. Maybe instruct the crowd to go all out sing along when they repeat the song? That could be a unique experience where so many people know the lyrics. Or seeing they did three 8 hour rehearsals a week and Ejae’s warming up 3 hours in, if it’s hard on their vocal cords. But it sounded like she did so many takes and demos maybe she’s used to that kind of output. submitted by /u/hyeran_jainros_fc [link] [comments]

Hello! I make drawings of k-pop idols! It might be stupid to post on here, but I'm searching for people who like k-pop and art, I mostly draw ILLIT, Enhypen, aespa, NEWJEANS, some other groups here and there! I was wondering if you could maybe support my account! It wouldn't mean much to you, but it would mean a lot to me! If everyone who sees this follows me id have a really nice community! Here's my account: https://www.tiktok.com/@c4ram3lily?_t=ZM-90MV3mz9YNg&_r=1 Also same user on Instagram! Thank you! submitted by /u/c4ram3lily [link] [comments]

The title's self-explanatory, but coming from a 2011 K-pop fan, this thought has been on my mind a lot lately. Once my ults inevitably become less active, is it even possible to channel that same all-consuming energy and devotion into a new group? That specific, fiery brand of passion just feels unique to them. It also ties into the bigger picture. Everyone saw how Kpop transformed into a global phenomenon on the backs of BTS, BP, and so-called Powerhouses’ western breakthroughs. It makes you wonder if any new group can ever have a true "groundbreaking" era like that again. Personally, I doubt it. The trail has been blazed. The major barriers have been broken. So while 4th/5th gen groups are massively successful, their achievements feel like they're building on an established empire, not conquering new, uncharted territory. It was a wild, once in a generation shift, and honestly? I'm just grateful I was there for the ride. I’m pretty much still in the field but no such group yet catch my attention enough to eat their lores up. So any suggestion? (I was fed by 2nd/3rd gen groups when it comes to lores and albums’ connections, ig?) submitted by /u/Lonely_Weakness_3853 [link] [comments]

I just watched the two episodes on YouTube. Even though the show already aired a month ago. Anyway, I don't see anyone talking about it. So yeah, what are your opinions on the final lineup? Do you think they are going to debut? And what can we expect from this group? submitted by /u/enividiana [link] [comments]

For example let's say TXT and treasure Made the same amount of money and they split the money and share it between members but because TXT only have 5 members they got bigger cut than treasure who have 10 members. submitted by /u/Chemical_Mobile_6613 [link] [comments]

If you have the ability to change an idol's position, who would it be? My opinion: 1-Aespa Karina: I'll remove the lead rapper position. While I think she has a beautiful and unique vocal tone, she doesn't have enough charisma for rapping in their songs. I mean, she has potential, especially after hearing her rapping in GOT The Beat album, but in their songs, like Drama, Rich man, and her solo UP, she doesn't convey the energy intended for the raps she gets. If her parts go to Giselle, it would be better imo. Honestly, girl crush doesn't suit her at all. She fits more elegant and cuter concepts, and even their earlier AE concepts were good for her. BTW her talk-singing is usually good, but rap, no. 2-Babymonstet Rora: I'll make her a main vocalist, and Ahyeon a lead vocalist, or even just a vocalist in general. Because it is unfair for both. First, Rora is a far better singer than Ahyeon, and she brings a different flavor to their songs, so she is a good contrast with the powerful vocalist Rami. Second, Ahyeon already has many roles in the group, a lead rapper, the most popular memeber, a charismatic performer. It is unfair for her to also have a heavy role like a main vocalist, she is already packed, and there are 6 other members to share roles with. submitted by /u/KenzySol [link] [comments]

I genuinely love Rock & Roll so much, the song is so good and it reminds me of Wannabe but a much more nostalgic and gentle sounding version, and as someone who doesn't actually love Wannabe, this song is so perfect for me. I actually think it might be my favourite title track by them. But the B-sides are sooo good too, I'm obsessed with I. I Know Me and Trigger. I. I Know Me is also the more laid-back version of one of their other songs (the whole vibe gives Mitm or Sorry Not Sorry) and Trigger is just so addictive while being musically interesting. The vocals are so good as well. I say unfortunately though because I'll never get to see my favorite songs performed live, and it won't be winning any music shows. And since it's a Japanese comeback, not as many people will be able to hear it and there won't be as much hype as there would be for a regular comeback. But anyways, I absolutely loved the whole album (...okay, I didn't listen to the jp or final versions) and I definitely recommend checking it out! submitted by /u/Far-Squirrel5021 [link] [comments]

I’m mostly wondering because I’m not sure myself what songs give off fall/autumn vibes (vs summer and winter), but I’d like to listen to some songs that fit this season! So I’m curious what songs remind you of autumn? submitted by /u/ac10424 [link] [comments]

You can explain why if you want too! It can be a song lyric aswell if you want.

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Hey everyone, today ITZY is back with their second Japanese album. I enjoyed their first Japanese album, released in 2023, and it’s still on repeat. For their new album, I’ll only be reviewing the five new songs they have delivered. The reason for this is cause they have three Japanese versions of their Korean songs and two Japanese songs that added Lia to the mix since she wasn’t in them when they were first released. With all that out of the way, let’s jump into the album and see what the group delivered to the table. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ https://preview.redd.it/6dj3axorcqtf1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d611f8bdd49a33b44c0d3d6e30f7b950e5047436 Collector - ITZY ROCK & ROLL ROCK & ROLL opens up the album with a thumping vibe that blends wonderfully with the smooth vocals the members bring to the table. The pre-chorus does a killer job transitioning into the hook that pulls everything together. The chorus has this fun vibe to it as the members hit some sweet notes. The instrumental has a few elements of rock and roll with its slick nature that holds the tune together. The bridge is another excellent section as the vibe switches up for a moment before the momentum goes back to the original vibe that works terrifically with the group. https://preview.redd.it/ndgxvatbdqtf1.jpg?width=894&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ea1e25e3d32c72aa00a25bc5963c7613fd37438 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ I. I. Know Me I. I. Know Me is the second song on the album, and it might be my favorite out of the new tracks they have delivered. The song goes for this R&B-trap vibe that feels like something they could release in Korea. The slick vocal performance works with the vibe that has a groove to it. The pre-chorus has this atmospheric vibe that moves perfectly into the hook. The chorus is killer with the bass that hits, blending wonderfully with the groove. We get a little rap in the second verse that adds to the overall vibe the producers crafted. I’ve heard this tune a few times already since I can’t get the vibe out of my head. https://preview.redd.it/4c8e7fthdqtf1.jpg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d875722460bca2084d531879cf14d75b12f037d0 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Out of Season The third song is Out of Season with its 2:16 length, which doesn’t do much for the overall experience. The instrumental has a sweet melody, but it doesn’t do much to elevate the tune. The group's performance is decent as they try to pull the instrumental up higher. The chorus is a little weak, as I don’t even remember it after hearing it. These short songs don’t get the chance to get fleshed out and feel more like an afterthought than a full song. I’m not going to be coming back to this tune as it’s not the most interesting track from ITZY. https://preview.redd.it/lsdnhf6qdqtf1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a246a2590ba2ac6c13f739f849bfc61806f3feec ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ 4. Trigger Trigger is the fourth song on the album with a funky-pop vibe that works well for this group. The performance from the members adds to the vibe that the instrumental crafted. The hook is a catchy one, blending with the funky vibe that will keep pulling me back for more. The vocals from the members bring this groove to the tune that will help pull me back for more. During the final hook, the members hit some smooth notes that help end the overall vibe. Trigger is another excellent tune on the album and one that works well for ITZY. https://preview.redd.it/ocuvq5vwdqtf1.jpg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09441128b08e508962b1fa2f4a05010db499089c ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Wild Ride Wild Ride is the last new song on the album with a sweet synth-pop vibe. The members' vocals blend with the synth-pop vibe that works well with the group. The pre-chorus transitions wonderfully into the bouncy hook that I know will be getting stuck in my head. The song is a groovy vibe. I will say that Wild Ride will have to grow on me a little bit, cause I feel like the other new songs besides Out of Season are a little bit better. https://preview.redd.it/7fnj87czdqtf1.jpg?width=4480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4d1b910739d25e398ee2b4efe6c3e7fff1e79c95 ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Summary: ITZY has returned with a new Japanese album, one that has some excellent songs that I will be coming back to. Lia fits wonderfully in the final versions of No Biggy and Algorhythm. Out of the new tracks, I find I. I. Know Me to be my favorite with its R&B trap vibe that works perfectly with the group's vocals. Out of Season is my least favorite song on the album, as its short vibe doesn’t let the song grow, and the instrumental is a little weak for my liking. I still find this new album from ITZY works well with the group's overall sound. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ https://preview.redd.it/llquugx8eqtf1.jpg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd502bdaf720944c48b160186388b4a928df365b submitted by /u/Maltifandom23 [link] [comments]

my ex-bestfriend and i got tickets for a concert, but we both got different type of tickets. she got herself a vip standing ticket as she always wanted her bias to notice her or to have an interaction with him (that was her reason when i asked her why she got a standing ticket). while i got myself a vip seated ticket because i prefer to sit and enjoy the concert instead of standing for hours and hurt my legs. note that both the prices of the vip standing and the vip seated are the same and my friend thinks that vip seated isn't "worth it" because you wouldn't get any interaction with the members. when she told me that the first time, i told her that i'd be fine with my ticket since i prefer to sit, and that i'm not looking for any interactions. though she might be right, i still didn't want a standing ticket. but her opinion on how my ticket isn't worth it didn't stop until the day before the concert, and i had to tell her that i'd be fine with my ticket over and over again. it was as if she was trying to ruin the concert for me. but after the concert, i'm so glad that i got a seated ticket because i was quite close to the stage and i had the perfect view, the members kept coming to our side too. when i went back to my hotel after the concert and excitedly texted her about how the concert went, she didn't seem to sound happy. and when i woke up the next morning, i was already blocked by her. later i found out that she didn't get the interaction she wanted with her bias nor did he notice her. submitted by /u/withinyourheart [link] [comments]
