Serious question: how does a song lose over half a million streams in one day?

Example: group: Stray Kids stage name: Bang Chan government name: Christopher Chahn Bahng (not a typo btw) most commonly used: Chan used by his friends, but also by fans sometimes: Chris cutesy nickname: Channie reserved for specific occasions by fans: Christopher (mostly stylized as CHRISTOPHER) For a group, there's the classic TVXQ/DBSK/Tohoshinki This post is half-inspired by that online phenomenon of fans talking about idols while using all kinds of different names, often not even including the group. Therefore leaving people who aren't that familiar with the idol to do detective work if they want to figure out who the commenter is talking about. (Admittedly, I've been occasionally guilty of this too, I usually just forgot.) So I thought why not collect some for informative purposes. But I'm also just interested. Who else comes to mind? submitted by /u/Loud_Kaleidoscope818 [link] [comments]

Note: I am not a consumer of Kpop to the point where Im a fan but ive watched some of it. This is only for some specific groups. Back in 2022, I was close with someone who loved K-pop, especially BTS. I get that cuteness culture is common and is js a certain aspect to Kpop. However, I think in any severity, it is very strange. Male K-pop idols are often molded to appear soft, innocent, and childlike to the point where it gets weird asf. And its normalised. On the more severe side, They’re given pet names, expected to maintain a pure image, and face backlash for doing normal adult things like vaping or dating. Goes deeper than that when many fans push romantic or sexual narratives between idols, often shipping them where one is submissive or feminized, usually tied to stereotypes about Asian men. It connects to a strange docility that Western culture puts on Asia, like its all so kawaii or smth. Even if ur someone who innocently enjoys their cuteness and innocence, do you not think: Wow, the main attraction point to this men is that they act like little boys. The same ppl, who get mad at the Western industry, for continuing this “school girl” costume vibes seen in Pop. Then we get into young 14-16 year old..even 18 year old boys and girls debuting. Hell to the no. submitted by /u/Wonderful-Freedom488 [link] [comments]

For an example, you say "Chaeyoung from Twice" and i'll say who'd be the main rapper if she was out of Twice submitted by /u/Artistic-Network-247 [link] [comments]

Hello everyone, I've been enjoying so much of BTS's content and I'm really curious about the group's dynamics. I know that Jin, as the eldest 'Hyung', often has a big responsibility. ​I was wondering if the members have ever talked about a time when Jin had to give them a serious piece of advice, or when he had to 'call them out' on something in a tough but loving way? ​I'm not looking for anything negative, just genuine stories that show their brotherly bond and how they support each other. If you know of any specific moments or quotes from the members, please share! ​Thanks for your help! submitted by /u/StrictPrize2040 [link] [comments]

I am not a very big seventeen fan , but I still prefer their vocals, music writing and content over other big groups... Since 2022 And I follow a lot of kpop pages and channels since a decade ...I have never really seen svt 'mentioned' anywhere. Accounts dedicated to kpop content (all groups included) ignore svt all the time... When it comes to good vocal groups I have seen all kinda groups there but never svt, popular k contents, svt is not there, stuff Abt dancing, svt is absent... There is never any mention of svt anywhere...even in funny memes,svt is never mentioned even though they are literally comedians with so many memes... Like maybe people just don't consider them kpop or maybe they are present on asian accounts but the kind of content I watch never mention svt ... They are very rare in kpop...barely there.. And only carat accounts post their stuff or talk about them **I am not saying that they are underrated but they are just never mentioned anywhere, if you are new to kpop, you won't see them anywhere,u have to search them up to actually find them.. I feel like they are not kpop but just svt... submitted by /u/Impossible_Bowl_918 [link] [comments]

Here's a photo of my two biases. I miss them! submitted by /u/AdOne3486 [link] [comments]

Over the past few comebacks I’ve seen from different groups, it feels like more and more companies are using AI-generated material for promotional content. And honestly, some of it feels like a way to cut corners instead of paying real artists to design things properly. For example, I just watched IVE’s recent MV teaser for “XOXZ.” From the first glance, it definitely looks like they poured a lot of budget into the MV—great cinematography, effects, real-life sets, and an overall high-quality production. But that makes me question why the earlier teasers for this era leaned so heavily on AI. If they had the resources for a high-budget MV, why rely on AI-generated visuals for the teasers? Red Velvet had a similar situation. Their MV looked amazing—great cinematography, tons of extras, impressive sets and effects, and even original illustrations and animation by real artists. But then the concept photos were just them posing in front of a colored screen with tacky AI backgrounds added later. Those backgrounds don’t look good now and probably won’t age well either. Then there's BLACKPINK’s “JUMP” MV, which honestly felt almost entirely AI-generated. You can really tell they didn’t have time to shoot anything properly. It looked like the girls were busy preparing for the tour, and even the choreography didn’t seem fully developed yet. But YG still wanted that bombastic, high-impact MV, so they brought in Dave Meyers to make it happen. And don’t get me wrong—Dave Meyers can make a great MV without AI when it’s smaller in scale. But here, it felt like AI was used to make something “look big” without the actual filming to back it up. Even looking at Somi’s comeback, it’s kind of strange. The pre-release “EXTRA” was high-budget with lots of effort and visuals. But then her main single “Closer” leaned much more heavily into AI visuals. Why go all out for the pre-release and then cut corners on the main track? It’s starting to feel like a trend: companies are putting all their effort into the MV—or at least making it look like effort—while relying on AI for promo material, concept photos, or even parts of the MV itself. And when AI is being used to replace creative professionals instead of help them, it just feels lazy and disappointing. I’m not against AI—it can be a helpful tool to assist on speed up workflows, or enhance ideas. But it shouldn’t be doing the job instead of real creatives. Right now, it feels like companies are using AI more as a shortcut to save money or time, often at the expense of quality and originality. submitted by /u/Agile_Track_1933 [link] [comments]
