Name something that is stopping you from fully stanning a group you wanted to stan!

Does this mean they're locked into to debut? Because it seems kinda cruel to be showcasing them to the world only to not debut them later. But it seems like they won't debut for another 2 years so I don't really understand. 2 years seem like a long time to confirm something beforehand, like they're obviously talented but how is YG so sure that these girls will be the Top 4 frontrunners amongst trainees for the next 2 years? What if other trainees improve and overtake them, would they still have no chance to replace these introduced girls? To be honest I don't really love this style of promotion. Babymonster had a very long drawn out period of more than a year from being introduced to actual debutation and even that felt very dragged out. I'd say hype was highest 1-2 months after introductions, but after a year plus of getting teased, the girls just felt like old news by the time they actually debuted it didn't even feel like a real debut. And now this group is going to take EVEN LONGER at 2 years. Then again it was 4 years between when Lisa & Jennie was first introduced (2012) to their actual debut date (2016), so maybe it's not an issue, but that would mean YG are extremely confident these 2 4 girls are going to be the chosen ones. Sidenote: I wonder why YG only teased Jennie & Lisa prior to debut. Like maybe those 2 were the locked in members since 2012 and the other 2 were still up for grabs for the other trainees to compete for the 2 remaining debut positions? submitted by /u/papapamrumpum [link] [comments]

Is there anything that KPop has taught you about your musical tastes/preferences in music? Im a huge music fan, growing up listening to 80s then the whole hip hop scene in the 90s, and ultimately discovering KPop mid 2010s. I notice that for me, the production is everything, while lyricism is hardly a factor at all. But, I absolutely value vocals (RV is my ult). I definitely prefer Korean tones even though I understand virtually nothing. Harmonies and electronic music form the perfect union for me. Has anyone experienced anything like this? submitted by /u/M_Prodigy [link] [comments]

I will cover 3 issue: His braids Him following Tory Lanez ’’Mocking’’ black culture by calling him Tarzann For the first one,all of you are just not it like there is a difference between culture appropriation and culture appreciatio.Over a year ago,he had said he briefly went to the US and got inspired by black artists and their styles.Unlike KIOF,he isn’t disrespectful in anyway For the second one,I feel that he shouldn’t be following him in such way as he shot someone though behind it may have some reason to it,for example take liking his music or just not knowing this whole mess at all,everyone makes mistakes! For the third one,he only named himself that as he is tan and y’all are not happy at all and saying that he thinks white people are more superior to the others and I just don’t get it,you keep cancelling K-pop idols for mere unreasonable conclusions like Young Posse even had to cancel their christmas release and when Manon said the n word,y’all were fine but when Julie and BP says it,you go as far as to hack them.I don’t understand,I feel most of the haters are not even black or Hispanic and just hate for the sake of hating Protect him and Allday Project,he doesn’t deserve it at all submitted by /u/Icy_Age_6024 [link] [comments]

So I’m half Vietnamese and I often get complimented (especially when being with other kpop fans) as „Korean“. „You look Korean“ is such a weird compliment and I’m asking all of you to stop using it (if you do). Because what do you mean, „they look Korean“? Do you mean they look like a Kpop idol? Do you think all Koreans look like idols or actors? Do you think all Koreans look perfect? It’s just so weird and generalising and plays being Korean down as just being pretty. So again, if you compliment people by saying they look Korean, don’t. Just say they’re pretty or something, but saying someone looks Korean is just weird. submitted by /u/DaGayEnby [link] [comments]

It's been six years since her debut... and it's been in The Black Label basement for almost a year (if not longer). And now with the AllDay Project right there in the corner... (I don't hate AllDay, just the person who manages the groups) Ice Cream wasn't even a good comeback... Somi is so talented, and no one is giving her support at that company... it makes me very sad, because with Dumb Dumb and XOXO she showed that she had the potential to be a very recognized soloist.... submitted by /u/_issio [link] [comments]

Essentially, what do you think were certain songs, debuts, events and scandals in K-Pop that would unwittingly change the trajectory of K-pop and how it is today. Feel free to drop an explanation too! For me my picks are (in no particular order): Burning Sun SNSD's Into the New World BTS's debut Sulli's early death JYJ & EXO's members suing SM NewJean's debut Boa's success in Japan T-Ara scandal BlackPink's debut There are likely many, many more but I'll stop here. Intrigued to see your picks :) Let's all be kind! submitted by /u/angie_kiprevski [link] [comments]

I do like it. Im surprised it wasnt a Teddy-esque empty chorus and just AAVE thrown out everywhere - I might have judged a little too early. Although knowing its YG-adjacent abd Teddy is involved I am still not convinced they will stay away from it forever submitted by /u/thebarted [link] [comments]

I wrote this song for all those exchange students & expat workers in Seoul. You are not alone. submitted by /u/snuffdog_reddit [link] [comments]

Lily from NMIXX is no doubt one of the best vocalists from the 4th gen but for some reason I just can't seem to like her vocals compared to sullyoon who's technically worse than lily in vocals. Same with other groups like TXT where taehyun is the best vocalist in his group (i think?) but I can't seem to like his vocals and prefer soobin's a lot more. Is it weird to not like their vocals despite them being good vocalists and prefer the vocals of technically worse vocalists? submitted by /u/tytyty3435 [link] [comments]

Is he controversial? What are your thoughts on him? When I got into Kpop during the pandemic I saw a video or two talking about how problematic JYP is, and today also saw an old reddit post (about 5 years ago) from Kpophelp talking about JYP submitted by /u/Musicloverlord39 [link] [comments]

Thought the lyrics of both songs sounded very similar thematically, so I made a mashup and tried to make it sound like they're singing to each other at times. Hope you all enjoy :) submitted by /u/Academic_Amoeba_974 [link] [comments]

the title track "Borrowed Cat (Do the Dance)" is such a slay?? french house vibes + that addictive "I turn into a rent-a-cat" & "Do the dance, ah oui" parts got me in a chokehold ngl 🐱✨ the choreo is EVERYTHING What makes Bomb so special? – it’s a bold step forward, showing off their growth and daring charm. They’re all about “being definite about the vague” and vibin’ with your heart, which is such a mood. Here’s my quick take on each track + the MV for “Borrowed Cat” – lemme know your faves in the comments! 👇 track by track thoughts: Borrowed Cat - this beat switch??? hello?? The way it starts dreamy and then hits you with that fast beat?... Genius Little Monster - the vocals are giving everything they're supposed to give periodt Jellyous - the wordplay in the title already got me, but the song?? BOP. Oops! - certified banger, catch me replaying this 24/7 Night Picnic - perfect closing track, the vibes are immaculate also can we talk about that "do the dance" mv?? the production value, the fits, the VISUALS... they really said "we're not playing this time" stream bomb besties 🚀 submitted by /u/SectionReasonable304 [link] [comments]
