Kim Heechul with Jae Joong For context, In 2009, JaeJoong and two other members of DBSK (TVXQ) filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment over their 13-year “slave contracts.” After that, he was essentially blacklisted—banned from major Korean broadcasting stations, and no idol (especially from SM) could be seen publicly with him. It became an unspoken industry rule to avoid him. Jaejoong officially returned to South Korea and established his agency, iNKODE, in the spring of 2023. But non-conformist Kim Heechul never followed that rule. He stayed friends with JaeJoong openly, posting pictures with him, meeting him publicly, and even letting himself be filmed together with him—when no one else could. And now, in 2025, he’s become the only current SM artist to appear as a guest on JaeJoong’s YouTube channel, JaeFriends. These two were OG 2nd Gen Flower Boys, the ultimate visuals of their era. submitted by /u/arcieghi [link] [comments]

Dang what’s a worse timing than this? Curious how this would affect their biggest artists’ (BTS) much hyped and awaited comeback with this happening within the company. Source: https://www.hansbiz.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=762255 submitted by /u/excitingstable53 [link] [comments]

I’ve often seen posts about how messy BLACKPINK’s fandom is, to the point where the solo stans of each member are constantly fighting with one another. And I’ve just realized that this all stems from how YG Entertainment built their fanbase. They promoted BLACKPINK as four individuals under one group, rather than as a truly united group. From the start, each member had a different image. Jisoo was the elegant Korean visual. Jennie was the stylish rapper. Rosé was the blonde main vocalist. Lisa was the main dancer and rapper with the bangs. Even their voices sound very different from one another. YG also gave more attention to their solo activities. Even before their solo contracts ended, the company was already pushing each member with their own brand deals, sponsorships, and solo projects. There have been many times when the members had more solo activities than group comebacks. To be fair, this strategy worked remarkably well. By marketing each member to different demographics and aesthetics, BLACKPINK captured a vast and diverse audience. It also helped the girls build their own image and brand, which is why they can market themselves well even now. But because of this setup, the fandom has unfortunately been divided. And honestly, that could’ve been YG’s plan all along. submitted by /u/why_dmn [link] [comments]

I've been thinking about K-pop groups that, in my personal opinion, had all the talent and potential to hit it big but for various reasons didn't quite reach that mainstream success. Here are a few that come to mind: 1. CLC This talented group definitely deserves a mention. They had members like Seungyeon and Yujin who were amazing at choreographing their own songs. But with every comeback, their concept kept getting switched up suddenly, and honestly, that really hurt their chances of being properly recognized 😔 Fun fact: "La Vie En Rose," the debut song of IZONE, was actually a track CLC had been preparing for their own comeback. But sadly, the songwriter ended up reselling it. (Sharing this just FYI, not to create any fan war & I love IZONE, psps!) 2. GLAM New fans may not know, but they were BTS's seniors (legit from BigHit)! Unfortunately, scandals brought them down. I really liked their songs like "Party (XXO)," "I Like That," and "In Front of the Mirror." I loved Miso's husky voice and Zinni, honestly, can you find any girl group nowadays that can do B-boy like her?!?! Another fun fact: You'll spot Jimin from BTS in their debut song "Party (XXO)," and it was composed by RM! 3. Matilda My bias, Saebyeol! I knew this group from "Weekly Idol," and they had a great sense of humor! Their songs were nice too, but unfortunately not mainstream, and the group disbanded after a few years. If you're in the midst of exploring new groups to stan, I found this Kpop personality quiz pretty fun. It helped me figure out which idols match my vibe, and honestly, stanning someone who feels familiar or relatable just hits different 🫶 Feel free to share your opinionts test results here!! submitted by /u/Fragrant-Explorer894 [link] [comments]

In kpop groups, each member fulfills a purpose, besides the obvious categories, vocals, rap, dance and performance, there are those for marketing reasons, visuals, variety content, who are expectedly, less skilled. I believe talent is acknowledged within the kpop fandom, but some talented individuals may be more popular than the most talented because they are visually appealing. submitted by /u/Full-Amoeba5171 [link] [comments]
