Overrated has NOTHING to do with popularity. Kpop fans need to learn this.

W Korea did not hold up a gun to any idol's head and say "You better not try and spread awareness for breast cancer". Two things can be true. The event was horribly organized and lots of the idols messed up. submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

For me, 00:00 (Zero O’Clock), by BTS, is one of those songs. Even though it is calm, it gives a feeling of deep loneliness, as if you were completely alone in the world, just reflecting on everything. It's beautiful, but at the same time it sends a chill down your spine. And you? Which K‑Pop song gives you this strange feeling? submitted by /u/Fun-Diver-6166 [link] [comments]

i hope i’m qualified i’ve been a fan for over 5 years now 😼😼 submitted by /u/harts4ani [link] [comments]

(only for the non-sensible fans) (About the event which was apparently organised for BC awareness") The level of delusion is crazy. " He/she actually left early☝🏻🤓" or "they didn't drink unlike the X idol!" Or "Look at your fav! He was literally dancing!? My fav was just standing in a corner! Omg he's so respectful 🥺" And don't even get me started on how some of the idol/ actors did the bare minimum like mentioning a single Sentence about BC or wearing a pink dress and then y'all are hyping them up like gods just because they are a tiny bit better than the other gone case ones. Please touch some grass. They are humans, not literal gods. They can do wrong things. You don't have to compare about how your idol was better than another idol js to prove that your "oppa" or "unnie" didn't do anything wrong. 🤓 The main issue was that EVERYONE present at that event was so wrong to not speak up or just attend the event in the first place. The W party isn't a new thing. Everyone knows it's just for the celeb meetup and not actually about the BC awareness. Your favs, who literally live in korea, would obviously know that. Yet, they choose to attend it. But some of yall which completely sideline this and choose to focus on convincing others how your fav was the least bad out of them. If they had chose to just spread awareness atleast in the interviews, no one would have beat them up or anything. They had a choice, and they didn't take it. As i saw in some post recently, it's giving just like the 🇵🇸 situation,where some fans absolutely refuse to agree that your idol did anything wrong. "But he didn't know about 🇵🇸! 🥺" Or "look at your idol, she literally did a coca cola ad, mine atleast just mentioned starbucks in her live! She has no option, she had to drink coffee!" This is so embarrassing. It's always eat the cake until it comes to your favourite idols. They don't live in your houses. You don't know them personally. Please get out of the ridiculous bubble you live in, and touch some grass. submitted by /u/bubblefryri [link] [comments]

I'll start: HyunA and Yong Jun Hyung's wedding, especially the people defending this guy the sasaengs and fans who are very obsessed with idols Let's be honest, it's a question submitted by /u/hawkraptor2005 [link] [comments]

I bet they have no idea how much their words helped people. It should have been the bare minimum to expect anyone attending the W Korea to just say something about the cause... anything. Yet, almost nobody did. Congrats to those three for taking initiative and being good human beings! submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Hey everyone, I hope you all had a good week. I know my week was pretty good, as we were given some great albums and songs to help make it even better. The days are starting to get a little breezier, which has been a good time to put on a hoodie. I’ve been excited to talk about the tracks from this week, as I feel like this week picked up a bit after a slow last week. Now, let’s jump into the music and see what the artists delivered. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ https://preview.redd.it/r07trlbbqwvf1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2108b1208e1fb9c2dff9396efbae9cc93f36ac96 Best of the Week: October 13th Blue Valinetine - NMIXX NMIXX returned this week with an excellent full-length project one I keep returning to like crazy. The opening song on the album Blue Valentine brings in some pop-rock elements with that MIXXPOP sound that we’ve heard from the group before. I found the pop-rock elements to work perfectly for the group, opening up the album in a great direction. Reality Hurts goes deep into the electronic sound, bringing in some hyper-pop/hardstyle sounds that have been pulling me back for more this week. RICO brought in a dancehall sound, something I have never been a fan of, but NMIXX took the dancehall sound and made it something I was enjoying. We do get two versions of O.O. cause a lot of people thought they were two songs smashed into one. I like both versions of the song as they give off a different vibe. NMIXX did an excellent job with this studio album, bringing in smooth vocal performances and catchy hooks that will continue it bring me back for more. https://preview.redd.it/8lqmub3jqwvf1.jpg?width=710&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f9e455ee731149173a3b9a4af21b5ac61b94f4a ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Other Koreon Releases of the Week: October 16th 타임캡슐 - Davichi Vocal duo Davichi is back with a new single, opening with a guitar and percussion. The sweet vocals blend wonderfully with the melody that sounds a bit more upbeat. The two singers still work well together, making this another excellent tune from them. The hook is upbeat, packed with emotion, and features killer vocal notes that will pull me back for more. I will say the instrumental has a bit of a pop-rock vibe that surprised me with how well it worked with the duo’s voices. I’m mostly used to Davichi delivering ballads, but it’s a nice change of pace to hear an upbeat tune from them. https://preview.redd.it/wwpw6jauqwvf1.jpg?width=686&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8952f204059c69afddef6ba7160ac0e8d0f6beb3 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Non-Korean Releases of the Week: Play (The Remixes) - Ed Sheeran This week, Ed Sheeran released a Remix EP featuring 4 Remixes of Songs from Play, on which he adds Indian Artists to the tracks. Sapphire with Arijit Singh was released back in July, and I’ve been listening to that version like crazy. Symmetry adds Ksran Aujla to the mix, who blends wonderfully with the instrumental, and I love how Ed sings a bit in Indian, blending with the feature. Heaven adds Jonita, who adds a sweet verse to the vibey tune that might be the vibeyiest tune on play. The last song I wanted to mention is Don’t Look Down which might be the best remix, which adds Humankind, Dhee & Santhosh Narayanan to the mix. The instrumental for Don’t Look Down gets remixed, sounding different from the original. In the remix, we get a flute solo that hits hard, adding to the overall vibe, and a killer rap verse that I didn’t expect to hear. I find these remixes enjoyable as I show that Ed is willing to collaborate with anyone, as he is trying new things during this era. https://preview.redd.it/49vc898arwvf1.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46e012dbee6f1487e8b0e0c38f9a31b5b70846e4 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Weekly Lastfm Round Up (October 10th - October 16th) Artist: Twice https://preview.redd.it/4il209lcrwvf1.jpg?width=696&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a977cd09021a7e362ac4e1d99313654ac1ec0a2b ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Album: Ten: The Story Goes on - Twice https://preview.redd.it/hvfmq77hrwvf1.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e2e39a46356842370df72f57223437340cf34d70 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Song: MEEEEEE (NAYEON) - Twice https://preview.redd.it/3x98m0lyrwvf1.jpg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae9b370102e9a3403cf9ea5db26de60d2bc84a9c submitted by /u/Maltifandom23 [link] [comments]

Most idols, imo, make some progress after their debut. It's only natural - even if their skills don't technically improve, gaining confidence, learning what does and does not work for them alone is enough to make a difference. But I'm kinda curious - who do you think had the most impressive growth when comparing their rookie days vs. peak / now? Idols whose "glow-up" honestly had you amazed with just how much they've developed as a performer / artist throughout their career? submitted by /u/OkCauliflower7443 [link] [comments]

Simply put, people tend to paint the whole industry with the same brush while glazing an industry with similar issues that they remain unaware of because they have limited music knowledge/history and speak on a surface level. For Korea, idols represent the entire music industry while for Japan and America, whatever niche said critic listens to represents that industry. I know a primary factor is because Korea is a smaller music market and its a huge export for tourism but I honestly don't think it's an excuse to be ignorant. The amount of times I've seen someone say and I quote "Koreans have no talent/originality because they are racist and stole every aspect of their music from black people/jpop" with no self awareness is astounding. This isn't to say that K-Pop was not inspired by black music or the Japanese idol system but there's a lot of nuance that is never discussed frankly due to racism and an individuals personal dislike of k-pop for various reasons. As a black woman, I think the most egregious to me is poising k-pop as the biggest or primary stealer of black culture as if the American and Japanese music industries are innocent of this. I could name numerous examples of theft/racism within both industries but the difference is those instances are written off as not being a reflection of the entire music industry while Korean artists and their work is always shoved under the transgressions of idols. It's the double edged sword of Idol culture being so popular. At the very least, I would like people to stop labeling their criticism under the "Koreans" label and start focusing on actually talking about the idol system and its positives and negatives. submitted by /u/External-Molasses-50 [link] [comments]
