NEXZ - 3rd Mini Album 'Beat-Boxer' (Track List / Cover Image)

i've been dreaming of being in a global girl group like katseye even before they debuted, and i've always wondered how many members are too many for a global girl group? katseye is six and other popular kpop groups that have blown up in the west typically have around 4-7 members. does a non kpop fan's acceptance of a kpop group have a limit on how many members a group has before it's considered too much? would seven members in a global girl group work in the west? i feel like kpop groups with seven or more members have been debuting less and less and i'm mostly wondering what is the sweet spot for the amount of members in a group? submitted by /u/affectionate_iDoll19 [link] [comments]

They just dropped their pre-release song, SPINNIN' ON IT ahead of their full album coming in a few weeks. As a multi GG stan of many groups, this group just never ceases to impress me every single time. I've been let down by so many times recently with groups leaning way too heavily into talk-singing. It feels like there's been far too much of it lately. But this song? If you love strong, high quality vocals, this is it. It's over 3 minutes long, it's got a gorgeous chorus that actually sings, and yes... it even has a bridge. If you love good, high quality vocals, this song is it. It's over 3 minutes, it's got a beautiful chorus, it has a BRIDGE. I haven't been this satisfied by a song release in months. Please go check it out, you won't regret it. I haven't been this excited for an album drop for ANY group until I heard this song. submitted by /u/GainImpressive8183 [link] [comments]

I'm tired of non-fans and their performative activism when it comes to RIIZE and Xnghan. Every other day, there is a new post about "RIIZE is not the same anymore". If you don't vibe with them, then that's okay, but why lie? They still have the same "Rise and Realize" and "Emotional pop" concepts. Their Instagram aesthetic is still the same. Just recently, they started teasing their comeback, where the members reiterated wanting to be honest with their music and to connect more with their listeners and fans. All this you would already know if you had kept up with them. I watched a TikTok recently where the comments insulted one of the members by calling him a "puppet" for being grateful to their company, dismissing the fact that he is his own person with his own thoughts and feelings, not a representative of a former member or the company. I'm also tired of the backhanded compliments. Yes, Memories and Talk Saxy are fantastic. But so are Love 119, Boom Boom Bass, the entire Odyssey album. I wish people would give them a listen too because the boys worked hard for them. The saddest thing, though, is how many people said that they should just disband. It's as if the 6 other boys were at fault for what the Korean fans did. Why should they have to give up on their dreams and careers? I understand cherishing OT7 and wishing what they could have been together, but isn't it insulting to both RIIZE and Xnghan to keep being stuck in the past? TLDR; RIIZE and Xnghan both deserve to fulfill their dreams and have long-lasting careers. If you vibe with either/both/neither of them, it's fine but I wish people would move on from their headcannon version of 2023 era RIIZE. submitted by /u/luminelover20 [link] [comments]

Kpop should be judged by its whole package - including camera works and back dancers - or purely by its live performance like many western singers focus on? submitted by /u/Terrible-Ad1611 [link] [comments]

But who better to ask than the experts? Recently I saw a Tiktok that I immediately lost (of whom I’m pretty sure was a k-pop idol from memory) who was taking off his undereye concealer on a Live I think? And the difference was quite stark because his heavy purple eyebags were basically gone with the concealer. I can’t stop thinking about this concealer and would really like to know what it is - or even who the idol was. Thanks k-pop knowledge gods 🙏 submitted by /u/goaldiggergirl [link] [comments]

I used to be a BTS fan years ago. I grew out of it as I grew up, but I never hated them or had any harsh criticism. Recently though, I realized something that left me disgusted, they are not who they show themselves to be. None of these celebrities are. V from BTS promoting Coke was the breaking point for me. Sure, people will say “it’s just a drink,” but it’s not. With the insane level of influence BTS has, every endorsement matters. I saw a post where a fan literally said, “If BTS supports Israel, then we will follow Israel.” Do you realize how terrifying that is? That’s the level of blind influence we’re talking about. And I’m so sick of hearing the excuse: “Oh, the company makes them do it, they don’t have a choice.” Absolute nonsense. There are artists with far less influence who have taken a stand, refused shady endorsements, or spoken up. To hide behind the shield of “not into politics” is cowardly. Everything is political. The world we live in is political. If you can’t recognize that, or worse, if you don’t care enough despite knowing your platform could save lives, then you are part of the problem. V is not a baby. None of them are. They’re grown men who know exactly what’s happening. A genocide is going on. Children are dying. Families are being wiped out. And to sit there promoting a brand tied up in it while fans eat it up like gospel? That’s disgusting. Don’t tell me about donations or PR gestures, you cannot donate with one hand and then help fund genocide with the other. That is not neutrality, that is hypocrisy. And honestly, it’s not even about speaking up if they truly can’t. Fine, stay silent. But don’t be the one actively promoting brands that directly feed into blood money. Don’t use your influence — an influence that literally moves nations, to help normalize it. I was a fan for years, and now I feel disgusted that I ever supported them. The level of influence they have is not harmless. It’s global. It shapes the choices of millions. And when those choices funnel money into corporations and systems complicit in genocide, that’s not “just business.” That’s blood on their hands. People need to wake up and realize: this isn’t about fandoms, this isn’t about music, this isn’t about “stanning” your fave. This is about responsibility. And if you think otherwise, you might as well argue with a wall. submitted by /u/StockEntertainer1546 [link] [comments]

For context: sellout often means the artist is selling his principles/integrity/ethics for monetary benefits. Like they dont really use or like the product, yet promote it to their fans. Its just a job. Yet the fandom celebrates it, that they get taken advantage of and even mindlessly buy the products. And when the artist switches to the competitor, the fandom just follows to the new products. In other industries, the fans are much more critical about advertisement jobs musicians do and even are criticized for being a sellout and commercializing their art. submitted by /u/binhpac [link] [comments]
