NouerA Fan - From entering Beijing school to meeting friends @ NouerA_LOG (250830) [ENG SUB]

It's always "i like __ but not their fandom" but are there any groups that you can't seem to get into or like but their fandom is so sweet so you like the fandom more? For me it would be izna, i don't really like them because i'm not interested in their music but i like izna fans submitted by /u/Artistic-Network-247 [link] [comments]

I'm completely aware of how incredibly parasocial this is and that it's a cultural thing as well, but there are so many moments in different types of content (variety shows and such) where members of kpop groups are praised for being a good son/daughter for doing xyz or someone mentions being so thankful for their parents and stuff, that it always makes me - someone who doesn't have a relationship with their parents and came from a difficult home life - wonder whether that's actually true for all these idols? Even the parents who seemed to not be supportive of their kids career choice have come around (obviously the perception of this is very much shaped by confirmation bias, but still!) and the ones who seem to have stage-parent-y type parents also don't really seem to mind (from what we're shown publicly at least) idk, I know it's probably a cultural thing to not really talk about this kind of thing, but I'm curious if there's anyone in a situation like that in kpop (that we know of) submitted by /u/apenguinwitch [link] [comments]

Winners from last time: Jihyo (twice) Irene (red velvet) Karina (aespa) IMPORTANT: Remember how on day one I said that the max amount of people from each group is 1-2? Well since twice is a bigger group I went with two and we have already reached the max amount of twice members. No twice votes will be counted anymore. This week’s is the center. submitted by /u/No-Recording-3274 [link] [comments]

I have a playlist for just my ult group and then a playlist for every song that is not from my ult group. Then I have a playlist for every song, which is those two playlists combined, and named as such (not the name but for example "ult group + non-ult songs") All this has created a mental block in my head of sorts where I view my ult group music and non-ult group music as two fully separate distinct things. I also view all my non-ult group music as just one thing. Because of this, I kind of feel like I grow to resent my ult group music a bit. Because in my brain, when I listen to my ult group, I feel like I am locking myself into listening to only one group when the alternative is to listen to every other kpop song ever created. This is all because I only view kpop songs as one of two things, from my ult group, or not from my ult group. This leads to me listening to my ult group less than I normally would actually like to do. Also, since I am more familiar with my ult group music, I am more likely to skip it because I feel like I am wasting my time and stopping my self from listening to the entire vast world of kpop (all music that isn't my ult group) as I already know this song so well. Ik this sounds really stupid but idk how to get over this mental block. I still like having the playlists I do and I don't want to change them. Was just wondering if anyone else ever experienced this? submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

Only last festival (for titles) is different from others. No hate obviously. submitted by /u/Stan_aespamygirls [link] [comments]

The companies put in their contracts that the trainees cannot share things from their training but some trainees shared some seriously horrifying and concerning things, while mentioning that some companies arent like that. With this, these companies don't get backlash for what they do and can just continue freely doing it. I'm at loss about what to do. I don't want to support an industry like that but I also don't want to stop liking Kpop as a whole submitted by /u/Guitarbox [link] [comments]

Hi, I just want to share my K-pop story. Back in high school, the first K-pop song I've ever heard was Nobody by Wonder Girls. That was actually the first time K-pop hit the international charts here in the Philippines. After that came Super Junior and Girls’ Generation, but the group that really blew up was 2NE1, mostly because of Sandara Park. She was already loved here, so her debut made K-pop even bigger. Then SHINee and BIGBANG started dominating. But once I got into college, I kind of drifted away from K-pop. But I'm still aware of the new big names back then like EXO, BTS, TWICE, Momoland, BLACKPINK, and etc, their songs are everywhere. But I wasn’t keeping up like before. Fast forward to recently, me and my friend watched LE SSERAFIM live here in the Philippines. That was huge for me since I never seen a K-pop group live, I instantly became their fan. Then one day, I was listening to Blue Flame on YouTube while cooking, and autoplay played "The Chase" by "Hearts2Hearts". That song hit different, it instantly pulled me right back in. Now I’m all in for these girls. I will definitely support this new group. I’ve watched their vlogs and some of the stuff they hosted, they’re genuinely fun. My fave is Juun. She’s got this gentle vibe while having a fierce look. Like, she’ll freeze you with her stare and then melt you with her smile. And her dancing? No joke. Rookie by name, but she’s already on par with the seniors. I really hope Hearts2Hearts became big and maybe even become the new face of SM someday. submitted by /u/Effective-Bar2198 [link] [comments]

I’m honestly not super up to date with the whole HYBE/NJZ thing. All I know is that they left HYBE and rebranded as NJZ. But like… what’s next for them? With all the hate going around, losing most of their partnerships, and not having a proper comeback since last year, it kinda feels like they’re stuck. Do y’all think they’ll ever manage to bounce back to their old popularity, or are they just gonna slowly fade out? I really wanna believe in them, but the future feels so uncertain right now. submitted by /u/Optimal_Ad_6536 [link] [comments]

I just spent a fortune on Twice concert tickets and now I'm contemplating spending even more on these ridiculous slippers and tissue boxes 😭😭😭 submitted by /u/BlueThePineapple [link] [comments]

Loved the concept photos, and I actually quite like the song itself. It probably won’t top their 2024 era, but the song was pretty solid. Not too hyped, and not disappointed either! submitted by /u/Soft-Path1995 [link] [comments]

They did the first performance of Everything at A-Nation festival today and damn I'm so hyped after watching this performance. https://youtu.be/JZEd9AON5c4?feature=shared It's Live Live and it's this song first time on stage with audience ever. The mics were set to the mmax. It's so satisfied to hear the mic sound bouncing the floor clearly when they rolled on the floor at 0:21. The sound mix is crisp and the energy is through the roof even though the temperature is like 100F in Japan when they perform. Live vocals is not new for them. It's their thing at festivals and concerts. Just last week they did this fantastic set at TIMA award (I always appreciate when there is a good quality broadcast instead of having to chase after fancams). I just wish people who love live vocal in kpop get to see them more. https://youtu.be/rqCrYfsZ_xg?si=zaIo2w_39qY6qdQW I keep repeating B.O.M.B so many times especially at 16:49 It's frustrated as a fan sometimes having to go through YG abysmal promo tactics knowing how talanted the group are. I want to scream everytime they drop a performance like this because I want to hype the new album but we still haven't got any MV teaser when their title track, Paradise, and the mini album will drop in 2 days. Anyway, for this comeback, they will be in Treasure"s western boyband era. Song like Now Forever is very 1D and Better than Me is like Westlife reincarnation. However, if Everything is any indicator, rap line will always box all the songs into Treasure's code. Track samples: https://youtu.be/JF3IqLzNbk4?si=xBt1Gwu2PruKLspW TL;DR: Everything is a banger especially live. Treasure will have a comeback Sep 1st. submitted by /u/NewSill [link] [comments]
