SM Entertainment Projected Music Lineup & Concert Lineup for Q4 2025

CW: discussion of age gap sexualization I came across a post from older K-pop fans (40-65 year olds) saying they shouldn't be shamed for enjoying idols' content and appreciating their looks, assuming they’re not concerningly delusional/parasocial. Including the like "I'm old, not dead" and I agree with the general sentiment wholeheartedly; I plan to keep loving K-pop as i have for 14 years now, my current faves, and even rookie groups as I get older. People should have hobbies and love any music and fandom spaces at any age. But what really bothered me was the replies from older women justifying their sexualization of idols in their 20-23. Some even went as far as to bring up "biological impulses" with things like "i have hormones too" and use the argument that older men do the same thing with women in their 18-20s. It just feels off to me. As someone who's almost 30, idols like TXT and Enhyphen who debuted when I was fresh out of university feel more like "kids" to me. I admire their music, talent, fashion and personality, but I don’t have any attraction to them. In fact, I would hope that as I get older, I naturally become less attracted to rookie idols coming out. It's not necessary for being a fan and like the older idols are right there. (To be clear, acknowledging someone is attractive is different than being attracted to them and i think the former is fine no matter what.) Am I missing something or is it weird to feel uncomfortable when older fans sexualize idols significantly younger than them? Shouldn’t people be more mindful or is it just me? It feels strange seeing people close in age to my mom (who’s almost 50 and already refers to ppl my age as kids) sexualize people younger than me in they way that they discussed it. A lot of people online just seems to be either 2 extremes of any subject. On one hand you have people shaming older people for having hobbies or having fun as if you life is supposed to ends in adulthood and on the other hand you have occasions like this one. Like I have to side eye it all. submitted by /u/StarfireLighthouse [link] [comments]

I've been a STAY for 2 years now and when you stan a group for that long you start to notice stuff that most people don't. And something that I've noticed while in this fandom is the insane shipping, and i understand that every single group experiences it but it is ON ANOTHER LEVEL with them. For example, Minsung, Minsung is the ship between Han and Lee Know and i cant deny that sometimes they do have their moments but nowadays it feels like they are shoving your throats, they notice how much people like it so will keep providing. And the worst part is how everyone treats Han like a baby or "helpless" its honestly so insufferable. STAYs, what are your thoughts? submitted by /u/vxbingkat [link] [comments]

I'm one hell of an impulsive person myself so I wanted to know, who do you think is the most impulsive idol out there? Like something comes into his mind and he just does it without hesitation 😂 submitted by /u/ComprehensivePen1697 [link] [comments]

For me it was 2nd gen! I went on vacation to visit brother family in HK and they were listening to Wondergirls & Girls Generation. And I love it! They were my first introduction to kpop ☺️ submitted by /u/mellymel999 [link] [comments]

Award shows really brings out the most jobless form within kpop stans. Like it's just Day 1 of voting and we already got certain fandoms accusing another fandom and artist of rigging votes through the most miserable editing (like some or this ss magically went from 29% charging to 70%, from 41 tabs open to 80+ tabs open etc). I don't really like bringing stuff from twt but then I saw the same lie being spread here so... Why can't we all just mind our own business and vote like any other normal human being, instead of wasting time editing this bs? submitted by /u/My_Rhythm875 [link] [comments]

I know all idols have their own image but is there any idol, who have a good or decent image but you always feel something off with him? Something suspicious and that he or she is pretending to act like that all the time? Even if they all have their own "acts" but this person just goes overboard with it?? submitted by /u/ComprehensivePen1697 [link] [comments]

Ngl I wasn't really looking forward to it because the concept was feeling too forced to me from the photos. Just clicked on the title track MV without expecting much and damn did it slap instantly. The b-sides are legit bangers too (obsessed with Healing Generation lol) Such a 10/10 album imo and definitely deserves more appreciation ❤️❤️❤️ submitted by /u/minimumeffortmerc [link] [comments]

i saw someone say that everyone always kinda look like their bias or sum so i was curious who do i look like i bias in enhypen? submitted by /u/pandabarber- [link] [comments]

and does anyone have any examples?? like I see a lot of sendoff videos and sometimes I wonder if the idols are really tortured or like fan calls or you know fan signs and I know it’s hard to say, & I know this is very generalized & it's probably hard to say for sure submitted by /u/aubreeserena [link] [comments]

one of my favourite fun facts is that the release of mr mr by girls generation was delayed bc someone had accidentally deleted some of the original files. another one is irene was the one who did the D7 whistle high note in really bad boy making it the highest note in recorded kpop history and you know how people talk about how next level never got music show win? it's first win was a daesang lol submitted by /u/wbu_lizzie [link] [comments]

Doesn't have to strictly be the ones here What's with male idols with a squirrel as their representative animal having an H in their name Also are there any female idols with a squirrel as a representative animal 👀 submitted by /u/Annoyed_Arctic_Fox22 [link] [comments]
