NMIXX - Welcome to LILYLAND Episode 1 (250704) [ENG SUB]

For years kpop fans have been using the excuse that a release is self produced if someone expresses dislike for it and I know self producing artists are held to a highet regard but I'm personally not bothered by non self produced albums. When I listen to an album I listen to the music,not the credits and while being self produced is definitely an achievement to be proud of it doesn't make up for a bad release. I would much rather listen to a good non self produced album than a bad self produced album. Obviously the fans and the groups itself are allowed to feel proud of their work but that doesn't mean everyone has to like it because it's self produced. Lastly,this isn't directed at anyone specifically,I'm referring to the self produced excuse I mentioned that I've seen kpop fans use over the years. In other words self produced doesn't equal good submitted by /u/Alive-Pitch-9180 [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I’m a new Stay so maybe I’m just being sensitive or reading too much into things… but I’ve been watching SKZ Code episodes and some of their IG Lives and I honestly feel like one of the members doesn’t get treated as well as the others. Like… sometimes he wins a game or does something funny/cute and instead of focusing on him, they cut to other members’ reactions or just move on like nothing happened. Even in lives, it feels like he’s being ignored a bit? 😞 I don’t want to sound dramatic but it kind of makes me sad because he’s genuinely talented and cute af and deserves more love and attention. Is this just me? Or has anyone else noticed this too? I just wanted to talk about it and maybe understand better. No hate to any member obviously, I love them all—just sharing how I felt. 🥺💔 submitted by /u/Independent_Task1822 [link] [comments]

Pre 2018 K-pop had more identity - Groups had more unique sounds before K-pop became so globalized and Westernized. Self-producing idols are overhyped - Just because an idol writes lyrics or produces doesn't automatically make them better artists. Fandom culture is too toxic and competitive - Fan wars, streaming obsession, and sasaeng behavior make the K-pop experience stressful. Taemin is the best solo performer in K-pop history, he has that stage presence that most others can't match. Shotaro fits way better in riize than he did in NCT (Riize is 7 btw) 5th or 4th gen kpop is good - sure it has more flaws than the other gens but people just hate on it because they get caught up in nostalgia or because there favs just aren't as popular as they used to be. Han is the most talented member in Stray kids - no matter if it's vocal, rapping, songwriting, dancing, producing, he has it all and he deserves more recognition. The big 3 boy groups of 3rd gen are EXO, BTS, GOT7 - I love seventeen but they were a late bloomer, during 3rd gen (2012 - 2017) Got7 made way more noise and had more impact, seventeen started to get really popular in 2020. How You Like That is one of BLACKPINK’s weakest title tracks musically — its success was fueled more by hype than quality. They have way better songs. ITZY’s girl crush concept feels forced now - they need a mature rebrand before it becomes stale. So this were 10 unpopular opinions from me, hopefully i didn't offend to many people lol submitted by /u/Injeolmie_04 [link] [comments]

ok so i was listening to them back to back and i realized just how similar they were both very sensual songs with a minimal beat which puts focus on the amazing vocals enhancing the vocals and towards the end the beat fades and u just hear a line of sadness... also 4 members too frequently covered with clean simple smooth choreo anyways i was gonna make a poll but the app not working for me so comment down which one you prefer submitted by /u/Major-Specialist3658 [link] [comments]

Recently I've been seeing a lot of people mention and discuss groups that feel like "coworkers" to them, a great example being IVE and NCT127. I think I am not the only one that genuinely could not care less if groups feel like coworkers or not. If they produce good music, what more is there to want? Like it or not, the K-pop industry sells personas first. It is no surprise that despite many group activities and variety shows etc that these groups are maintaining a "found family" persona without actually 'knowing' their groupmates. 85% of the groups we all like show us only what they want us, the audience, to see, so it's no surprise many groups are indeed coworkers first. What are your thoughts on this? For a group to be sucessful, does it or does it not matter? submitted by /u/kqtherines [link] [comments]

If the title doesn't make sense, I will preface my saying relay dances are one of my favourite formats for groups. In concept, they are perfect with one glaring weakness imo: the focus on the member doesn't always match who actually sings a specific line, and it drives me nuts as someone who is trying to remember who sings which parts for groups I don't follow as much. While I can understand it's cute for fans to see another member lip sync someone else's line for their 4 to 7 second focus at a time, it makes it hard for those unfamiliar with certain groups to remember who ACTUALLY sings which lines. I know there are lyric distribution videos out there, but I'm not sure if I'm the only one who feels relay dances are primed for taking on the "visual line distribution" role of helping you remember who sings what, but they don't actually do it consistently throughout and it can get confusing. Anyone else feel this way? I haven't really heard anyone talk about this pet peeve of mine, so I thought it was worth making a thread on this. submitted by /u/FanCaracal [link] [comments]
