SEVENTEEN Mingyu - ELLE JAPAN x Calvin Klein (September 2025 Special Edition Issue Cover)

Kpop concert tickets continue to get more expensive, with merch/VIP/etc adding to it if that’s your thing. Then the vast majority of us who don’t have tours routinely visiting our local city have to travel via public transport/driving/flying. Flying requires flight costs, lodging costs, and the associated incremental effort. It adds up. So I’m curious, how many Kpop groups/artists would you specifically fly just to see them perform? For me, it’s about 7 currently. I have/will have flown for 4 groups so far (and would again for any of them) and 3 others that I haven’t seen in concert yet. And that number would be materially higher if they toured locally (a few have, but not many). submitted by /u/itzymidzy19 [link] [comments]

(I’m sorry for any spelling/grammar errors. It’s midnight and I wanted to right this super quickly) When it comes to family members of kpop idols, I have noticed this weird parasocial relationship that some fans have with certain idols’ relatives. A huge (and probably the most prominent) example of this is with Bangchan of straykids. I have noticed how weird stays are with bangchan’s parents and his younger sister. All 3 have social media accounts and their comments are always filled with stays saying “[family members name] stans, are we ok?” or other basic npc comments usually found in the comment section of a kpop group. I find this so extremely weird. “Stanning” an idols’ family member just gives obsessed fan behavior. Bangchan’s mum posted a video where you could hear chan’s voice in the background and people were flipping out in the comments saying “omg is that bangchan!?” Or “did I hear bangchan’s voice!” They were acting like it was some foreign thing that he was hanging out with his parents… Hannah, bangchan’s sister, also releases music (she actually was the one that got me into skz, so I am especially passionate about this issue) and I cannot WAIT to see the day that her comment section is free of stays quoting old, cringy skz memes or making everything that she does somehow about her brother. There is this clip from like 2023 of Bangchan and Felix saying “Hannah what are you doing?” at one of their concerts and EVERY SINGLE video that Hannah posts has at least 20+ comments of stays saying “HANNAH WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” with some random photo of Bangchan or another straykids member. It doesn’t matter if she’s promoting her music, lip syncing to an audio, or just talking. There’s always those comments. There was another video where she was promoting her album and the colours pink and green happened to be in the video. Some stays proceeded to have the audacity to comment “omg minsung 🩷💚” and there were so many of these comments that Hannah had to start responding to them. I legit wanted to throw my phone across the room when I witnessed that. It makes me so frustrated because Hannah works so hard, and she is never able to have that sense of individuality. 90% of her comments are all users with a skz-related pfp. I absolutely understand if you like her music (because it’s amazing and everyone should go stream ‘Sweet Satin Boy’) but please don’t reference straykids when you are interacting with her page unless the video is literally about straykids. It just takes away from all of her hard work and accomplishments by putting her in her brother’s shadow. I feel like this also can be applied to many other idols who have siblings that aren’t private info. Yechan from 82 major and bahiyyih also struggle with this. They are both hardworking idols but are constantly just referred to as “keeho’s brother” or “huening Kai’s sister” and, once again, it takes away from their own achievements and sense of individuality because they are constantly tied to their siblings. Anyways! Thanks for reading lmao. submitted by /u/hxunjin [link] [comments]

Did anyone else totally forget this case was still in court? YG actually got sentenced to 6 months in prison, suspended for 1 year, for threatening the informant who reported B.I’s drug case. I really thought this case had wrapped up already . https://m.entertain.naver.com/home/article/009/0005527076 submitted by /u/jqiwyoxn [link] [comments]

there's this phenomenal in kpop, when everyone is acting as a vocal coach and talking like they know everything about music but they can't even know the diffrence between a head voice? a chest voice, mixed voice and a belting, I FUCKING HATE IT as someone who can sing and is educated on music and i study music on my own in my free time, i'm sorry but please stop embarassing yourself acting like you know shit when you don't, the golden challenge is bringing me problems cause people are hating on the idols who actually do hit the note perfectly just like in the song, and praising people who doesn't and literally they do it in a head voice, and when i correct people that no you're praising someone who is doing it the easy way (which is head voice) instead of actually hitting it, i get attacked saying that i'm hating or something when all i'm doing is speaking facts!!, you may ask why is this annoying to me?? cause imagine you being hated for actually doing the job when other people are getting praised for actually PRETENDING to do what you're doing!!!! PLEASE IF YOU'RE AREN'T EDUCATED ON MUSIC DON'T TALK LIKE A VOCAL COACH SAYING THAT SOMEONE IS VOCAL POWERHOUSE AND DONE A HIGHNOTE WHEN THEY DIDN'T DO SHIT!! please you can praise your idol however you want but stop acting like you know shit when you don't, saying they hit it when they didn't, it's okay it is hard to hit high notes i know that as a person who sings, but saying they did it when they didn't and acting like i'm being a hater on the vocal powerhouse when i'm just talking about something i'm educated about is another level on craziness, it's INSANE and ANNOYING!! submitted by /u/etherealpapillon5 [link] [comments]

Yes I’m talking about my queen Jeongyeon, her wanting to cover up more than the rest of Twice is irrelevant in the matter, so don’t start with that nonsense submitted by /u/Sufficient_Effort118 [link] [comments]
