National Museum of Korea partners with Hybe to bring Korean heritage to the world

Dispite being an active fan in many spaces, I typically wasn't active online until the pandemic. Then I joined Twitter for non kpop related fandoms. When Twitter started become bad, I and most of the people I followed left. Now, I want to be active in the online kpop fandom for some of the groups I follow, but I'm unsure what sites are best to try to make fandom friends. I'm in my late 20s if that's relevant as I know it was when it came to what platform people used in other fandoms I was in. So, if anyone's willing to help me figure out where everyone is hanging out, id appreciate it. I'm a stay, tomoon, and evol if that helps. Thank you in advanced submitted by /u/Proud-Ad6862 [link] [comments]

Originally introduced to fans as 'WUZO Circle' they would end up debuting underneath the team name 'Blitzers' on May 12th 2021 with 'Check In' and the title track 'Breathe Again' which gained a lot of positive attention, earning them the title of hot debut. The last comeback was last year in 2024 with the EP 'Lunch Box', while in 2023 they'd release 'Macarena' (which also included the song Question Mark) and taking part in an OST for the Drama 'Jun&Jun'. They would do different promotions for the group from appearing on Peak Time as Team 9:00 also in 2023 to performing/competing on Britain's Got Talent which got mixed reactions from people both outside/inside the fandom. While I do fully agree that promoting a group and being an artist is super super difficult and there's a lot of things going on behind the scenes that we don't see, and I understand that some fans have left due to lack of content, and constant uploads (which is unreachable for many groups from smaller companies in general and is a whole other conversation), they are still a great group regardless, the members working overtime and trying to get new attention and keep doing music. For example, truthfully I didn't believe that the social media I got suggested was actually Chris at first until he started doing livestreams and posting more videos (around the time he got eliminated from Boys Planet II). He has started to be more consistent on his SNS, even making a TikTok, SnapChat, and other content. From videos like; What Chris Does in 7 Eleven (Tokyo), What Chris does in the morning, Kpop Idol React Videos, Reacting to his performance on Boys Planet to revealing the unfortunate truth that he is working at cafes to make ends meet and that the group just can't afford a comeback. To say the least, BLITZERS is someone I have known for a long time, please do not think I am bashing them or upset in anyway, I just wanted to share now as a casual listener of the group as some might not know. Please do consider checking out their music and content on other platforms, although one of the members have left for personal reasons I genuinely believe they love performing on stage and making their art. I have a whole playlist on the group and can always suggest my favourite stage performances and songs as well. ♥️ submitted by /u/ElectricalGuitar554 [link] [comments]

Kpop idols are encouraged to feed into parasocialism by companies to make sure that you get invested in the idol so you spend more money on albums, concerts and other fan merchindise. That’s it. That’s all it boils down to. submitted by /u/detonatediamond [link] [comments]

Y'all need to stop comparing Kpop idols to Big Western artist. I get a lot of these groups are successful in the West, but trust me they will NEVER have the same impact as the western artist. Example, calling Rose the "Taylor Swift" or "Princess Diana of K-pop" when they are NOT comparable in any shape or form is just hilarious to me. No shade to Rose but I don't think her music nor career has had any impact on the industry like Taylor Swift. submitted by /u/im_army_sti11 [link] [comments]

I just listened to the new riize album, a good listen, I have this list I put the album names I listened to this year, and it occurred to me the album is literally called "ODYESSY - The 1st Album", then I realize aespa albums does this too, I just find it lowers the "coolness" somehow, a clean name "ODYESSY" just feels better. I guess for a true fan it should be easy to remember which album is which, and for causal listeners this info don't make much sense, the only case is people who freshly open their artist page and just want to find a full length album, can find it. Why do you think this is their norm? Any other companies do this? submitted by /u/neoneo451 [link] [comments]

Pls don’t make this a “which group is better” thing make it a “this person really put thought behind this and it shows through their editing and choice of clips and info” Also you have to have watched atleast more than your biased groups So I guess this is a question for multis! (I want to watch some interesting and engaging guides (has nothing to do with the group but the person creating it)) submitted by /u/SwimIcy9877 [link] [comments]

I've been a starlight for like 12 years and they've really been giving me Vixx vibes since they're debut but with the genderless twist. They're dark, and sultry and looks like each comeback will be a new version of them. These pic were from Wumuti's Instagram which looks like hints of the next comeback. submitted by /u/xlov_mother_muti [link] [comments]

I know this might be a dumb question, but I’m honestly not familiar with how the Korean entertainment industry works when it comes to someone’s voice/likeness being used. Since Garam was essentially fired, but her voice and likeness is still being seen on multiple streaming platforms. I was listening to Sour Grapes, and as we all know, she stood out most in that song and the thought just came in my head; is Garam being paid anything for her contribution to their debut album at all? submitted by /u/Abject-Zucchini3058 [link] [comments]
