POLARIX and former MIRAE member Lee Junhyuk has issued an apology amid accusations of cheating and financially exploiting his ex-girlfriend

Could be either because of the music or the album design or whatever else. For the design I love Illit’s Bomb (merch ver.) and Izna’s Beep but since I don’t really stan either of them I can’t justify spending that much money. On the other hand I ult aespa and love the concept but can’t justify buying the Dirty Worker version of their upcoming album. I can already see from the previews that I have no way to display it well so I bought the case version instead. For music I love WJSN The Black’s My Attitude- album and I’ve thought about buying it many times but I don’t know any of the members other than Exy and the design is not impressive enough to make me feel like I need to display it on my shelf. There are also different versions of albums that I regret not choosing but I can’t justify buying a new version of an album I’ve already purchased years ago. submitted by /u/Winter-Net-2669 [link] [comments]

Edit: Sorry I know this is long haha As the title suggests, I wanted to make this post just cause there’s been a lot of concern (especially in the last like 16 hours) of how Yeosang from Ateez is treated by their company. For those who don’t know, Ateez had their comeback today (13/06), with Golden Hour: Part 3. Those who are at least somewhat into Ateez will know that there has been a lot of dissatisfaction specifically with the perceived unfair treatment that Yeosang receives (I use the word ‘perceived’ here because people’s opinions will differ). To be honest it wasn’t hard to see that he didn’t receive as many lines as his other members, especially at the start and this is something that he verbally expressed himself. To add to that, Yeosang is one of the quieter members, which meant that he often slipped into the background, especially when earlier on in their career. In more recent years, we have been seeing more from him and line distribution has improved quite a bit. He’s also generally come out of his shell much more which is nice to see. Now in the title track of their latest comeback, ‘Lemon Drop,’ fans have noticed that Yeosang has again been given very few lines — totalling to about 7 seconds in a ~ 3 minute song. Am I disappointed that the company has yet again done this? Yes, definitely. But the response from fans has been in my opinion a bit OTT. It’s now snowballed (as it does so often in the kpop world) and people are sharing clips from the fan chant guide and are speculating that his behaviour is due to how the company is treating him. That could absolutely be true. But I need people to understand that WE DO NOT KNOW THESE PEOPLE PERSONALLY. There could be so many other reasons why he seems down or maybe he’s just tired. I’m seeing so many posts of people criticising the company and the producers. I, for one, am never against criticising companies but the comments on the latest post on their producer, Eden’s, Instagram are way too much. To add to that, people are fundraising to send a truck to the company. Maybe this is because I’ve been out of the loop for so long, but are we being fr?? There are so many causes where your money could go… and you want to use it to send a truck to a company cause you don’t like how many lines they gave someone… I don’t disagree with people’s disappointment— I feel the same but the reaction just feels so unnecessary to me. Maybe this is because I see what else is going on in the world and it makes it hard for me to place that much care (and money) into something like this. And also, I can’t help but wonder how this will seem to Yeosang and the other Ateez members. There’s no doubt they will see all the commotion, if they haven’t already. Maybe he will appreciate the fans looking out for him, but what if he doesn’t and this just causes issues for him? I know people have good intentions but they also need to consider the potential impact. Idk, I just wanted to share this here to and hear what others have to say. As an Atiny and someone who has recently come back to the kpop world after being out of the loop for roughly 5 years, I was really excited. However, I’ve been remembering why I stopped enjoying kpop before — the way that fans react and catastrophize is honestly white off putting. Also just to share my own thoughts regarding Yeosang himself: In my opinion (and others have expressed the same), this is a classic case of an idol with a unique voice that may not completely suit what is expected within kpop. I personally love Yeosang’s voice — how deep it is, the tone, everything. It kinda reminds me of Tae’s from BTS (my former ult❤️‍🩹), and similarly, I think Yeosang really suits songs that take on a more R’n’B or jazzy style (please listen to It’s You if you haven’t already). I do hope that if he is dissatisfied or feels mistreated that he is able to express this to the company himself. submitted by /u/Initial-General1863 [link] [comments]

A slight twist on the playlist trend. You give me an alphabet and I'll try to give as many different songs as possible that are there in my playlist. Mostly title tracks but many EXO, NCT and Baekhyun b-sides. submitted by /u/Chutneysandwich16 [link] [comments]

Me and my friends were watching music videos (as one does) and she mentions a song that starts with a high pitch violin (?) and goes down in pitch and almost goes into like layers of violin that sound sinister or menacing in a way… almost like music when a serial killer is chasing somebody. We searched for this song for like 2 hours and have NO CLUE… It might not even be kpop all we know is that it sounds menacing and the actual song sounds not like the beginning(most likely) If anybody has any idea then please share🛐 it’s driving me insane (sorry if the description is hard to understand, it’s such a specific sound I don’t know how to describe it and chat isn’t helping 😭) Thank you thank you ! submitted by /u/sususwaggy_ [link] [comments]

I know this has been happening for quite a few years now but this year has been ridiculous when it comes to the issue of K-pop idols and groups mocking black culture. Groups like black pink, kiss of life, Kard,.and the new group all day project have all been caught having some type of microaggression or stereotyping actions towards the black community and unfortunately there will be more groups in the future who will do the same thing, especially if they have a hip-hop aesthetic. There is no way that these companies and their media representatives have no clue about the backlash that these types of incidences create. There was legit months of people calling out black pink and kiss of life for their racial insensitivities, but for some reason they thought it was okay to debut a dude who obviously has some major culture vulture actions for their new group ( Tarzan ) or even approving the kiss of life birthday live. You're telling me that nobody on their whole team did research before allowing them to post all of this online ? That's why I think they do know the ramifications of these actions but decide that nobody would actually care or since a lot of K-pop fans have a small attention span that they will forget about it within a month or so. Sometimes I think they also use it as a way to create rage bait and get their groups talked about more and use the philosophy of any attention is good attention. These groups that feed off of black culture will mock us so bad, but yet use all of our stuff for their music and outfits and never give us our flowers. The whole period where all these K-Pop groups were coming out with ampiano songs and dances but yet not a single black person or even an African person was introduced to at least give homage. submitted by /u/MochaMilku [link] [comments]

Favourite as in something to hype you up or when you're literally at your lowest points Mine are Go Big or Go Home by enhypen to hype me up and Lovers in the Night by Seori when I am at my lowest :) submitted by /u/OtherwiseMango6126 [link] [comments]

So im going to skz’s concert in Orlando tomorrow and I was testing out my light stick (V2) to realize I didn’t have the battery holder in the part you twist off. The little thing is missing and it’s too late to order a replacement on Amazon so I was wondering if anyone with an extra could meet up with me and lend or sell me one? Id literally pay money atp im so desperate 😭 I have soundcheck and i will literally meet anywhere before that or before the concert! Sorry if this isn’t the right subreddit, im really just trying to get this out lol submitted by /u/leeknowsleftoe [link] [comments]

I really don’t know what is going on here but it has not been fun in kpop_uncensored the past few days. I know there has been an influx of BTS post but I mean 4 members discharged and ARMY is excited. There is no reason to be trigger happy with mass reporting post and restricting them. Make a mega thread for those type post. Anyway what is the other options that Kpop where you can freely give your opinions and thoughts without being silenced. submitted by /u/PlacePuzzleheaded982 [link] [comments]

Couldn’t make it to the concert but just want to see them in real life once 😫 submitted by /u/kfcpotatowedge [link] [comments]

jungkook was seen wearing a hat that says “make tokyo great again” during rehearsals for his performance at jhope’s solo concert today. it was met with a lot of backlash in south korea. personally, i think the hat is satirical. but considering the political climate, and the history of korea and japan, i’m not surprised that there was such backlash to this. what are your thoughts submitted by /u/JinnieP [link] [comments]

He posted the apology on Weverse. submitted by /u/perpetualparanoia0 [link] [comments]

For example: I've seen people say that Korean-Australian/American/Canadian idols getting called "Non-Koreans" or "Half Koreans" just because they lived outside of Korea. Like??? Don't they understand what immigration is and that their parents move to live in a different country, doesn't mean you change into a new ethnic or race. 🤦🏻 submitted by /u/SatisfactionAdept548 [link] [comments]

We'd think companies and advertising teams would know the best plan for promotion, taking into account what the public enjoys and wants most, but have you ever seen one that made you say, "What were they thinking?" Obviously, some were good strategies, but they just didn't work. So, tell me what are the worst promotional strategies you've seen for a group's debut, album release, etc. submitted by /u/Someonehihi [link] [comments]

The Stray Kids members as fairies now in cards, now embracing the darkness! Even as fairies, there's no mercy from Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N! submitted by /u/Heartless_Blade_76 [link] [comments]

So I am sorry if this has been already asked but I was just curious to know which are your fav groups that debuted in 2025. Or a new group that you are following in 2025 2023/2024 groups don't count. I am only talking about groups that debuted in 2025. Girl groups and boy groups both are welcome but I am personally a boy group kinda person lol so it'd be great if you'd give me your fav boy group debuts of 2025. submitted by /u/TheFool_asleep [link] [comments]

So last August after my Ateez concert, I had left the batteries in for about a week. I discovered then that it’s not good to keep them in because it damages quick. Nobody ever told me before then. 💀 I did take them out when I found out. I tried it again to make sure it still worked and it looked okay. But that was just turning it on, I haven’t been able to try it long term because I haven’t had a reason to since the concert, and I’m not sure I should try. My next concert is in July and I’m debating if it’s worth buying a new one just in case or just take a chance on still using the one I have. Idk man 🫩 submitted by /u/CeCeAlexus [link] [comments]

Why do you guys pick on Annie Moon just because her great grandfather is Samsung founder. Yes she’s very rich, but there are so many other idols like Jay from enhypen and Gawon from Meovv who are EXTREMELY rich as well. I know Samsung has a lot of problems, but let’s be real; anyone who’s making huge profit from people while the rest of the world is starving obviously has problems as well. Just because Annie comes from a very rich background does not mean she does not deserve her place in the group. We don’t know the story behind how she entered Black Label so stop making assumptions. She was also a trainee so she most likely is trained adequately for her to debut. And every time someone calls her Nepo baby or whatever - yes she is a nepo baby, but so are a bunch of famous people including Bella hadid and countless others - you guys just pick and choose who to hate on for absolutely no reason. Stop trying to target her before she even gets the chances to showcase her skills - if you are going to hate at least hate after she debuts. submitted by /u/waytootired__ [link] [comments]
