NCT DREAM - The 6th Mini Album: BEAT IT UP (Album Cover Image)

Im new in K-Pop but I listen to probably all more or less famous groups, but, I see no other group to have such a huge success like BLACKPINK (worldwide), also I think it is really deserved success, I dont know any “filler” song from those girls. Maybe they initially were oriented on “outside world?” Currently my favorites are Le Sserafim, Aespa, Twice, BABYMONSTER, Illit, but also many others. P.S. Im interested only in girls groups. submitted by /u/music_matters_daily [link] [comments]

Keena ended up returning to the company...hence the company dropped the lawsuit...Then they made their debut under a different company released a single last year or maybe earlier this year...but they did not perform in any music shows, they are not going to any variety shows...also there is no new music from them ...on the other hand the new Fifty Fifty released 2/3 eps within this this. They will be releasing another one next month. Also og they have a fanmeet at the end of this year. submitted by /u/Due_Collection_3363 [link] [comments]

Me and my mom watch this show pretty often, I swear I’ve seen non-korean people compete but have any of them made the finals or won? submitted by /u/Soft-Breadfruit6483 [link] [comments]

Saju is basically the K-version of astrology. Most Korean idols know about it, and it even shows up in official content sometimes! You can often see YouTube content like ZB1 Saju Reading, aespa Saju Reading, ATEEZ Saju, Kiss of Life Saju Reading, and even TXT’s “Not To Do” Saju & Face Reading episode came out recently. In Korea, everyone’s either gotten their Saju read or at least heard of it. It’s way more mainstream than people think. I’ve been studying it a lot lately, so if you’re curious, drop your chart in the comments (or DM me if you prefer)! I’ll give you a super short, one-line reading for fun 😄 If you want to make your chart, you can generate one on the Forceteller app. That’s what I usually use. https://preview.redd.it/i9dz4gjchlxf1.jpg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09b11d41f70632933d3866ae280023f2157f5ad9 submitted by /u/Fresh_Economics_715 [link] [comments]

Lately, I’ve realized I haven’t fallen out of love with K-pop — just with idols. I still love the music, the performances, the energy, and the creativity. But I can’t ignore how fake the “connection” feels now. It’s like every live, every post, every “I missed you guys” moment is just a subtle ad for something. I don’t think they’re bad people, I know the world they’re in pushes them to do this. It’s all about money, perfection, achievements. You’re nothing without numbers or titles. You’re nothing if you’re not somebody. And honestly, that hit me personally. Since my mental slip-up at 19 (really is was a psychotic break) I’ve spent years feeling watched, paranoid, judged, and constantly comparing myself. Always hearing “who even are you?” or “who are you?”trying to find worth in being “better,” in pleasing others, in being who I thought people wanted me to be. I got so lost chasing validation, chasing dreams I’m not even sure are mine. Always pretending I was fine, even when I wasn’t. Hating myself for not being perfect.…for not living up to this made-up idea of perfect. So when I see idols now, I don’t just see performers. I see people trapped in the same system that once made me feel small. And I feel for them. I’m so sorry they have to live like that. (obviously I could be wrong. Idk how these strangers feel) But maybe through them, I found my own clarity…my own wake-up call. At 26, I think I’m finally ready to find myself outside of them, outside of fandom, outside of illusions. I want to go to concerts for the music (I was already doing them but still.sometbing felt weird about the whole experience for years and the people I'd be around. I couldn't pin point it… thought I was just being “Weird”) to dance, sing, and get lost in the experience, not in someone else’s image. Not for the fan interactions, not to beg for their attention, not to see them do these sexy dance moves, or whatever else (they aren't strippers🙄) Maybe this is weird… idk..As I'm writing this I have so many thoughts but I'm putting this out there. I know there are people who might be in the same situation but Dont know how to express themselves. And to be clear, I don’t judge anyone who still loves the fantasy. Sometimes we need it. Sometimes the illusion helps us survive the real world. I get that. I’ve been there. I just don’t want to live there anymore. submitted by /u/Adventurous-Wave8088 [link] [comments]

For context, my partner is a pediatrician. One of his patients, who recently recovered from typhoid fever, came back for a follow-up check-up today. The kid gave him this album as a token of appreciation. My partner was shocked, but the kid really insisted! If the parents of that kid are here on Reddit and happen to read this, we just want to say thank you! submitted by /u/jumpy404cat [link] [comments]
