So how do you actually get into a group?

Hi friends ! sorry for the confusing title (?) Honestly, to give you a bit of context, i am 22yo girl, no degree in fashion whatsoever. No obvious plans for the future, no idea for a long term career. I am just a fashion enthusiast that happens to enjoy drawing and Xdinary Heroes a lot ! I actually do a lot of things on the daily, tattoos, tooth gems, clothes, hair cutting and dyeing etc.. I love anything creative !!!! i love expressing myself !!!!! I actually LOOOVE Balko's work when it comes to styling them for Mvs, concepts, photoshoots etc. As a whole, XDH's universe and potential are so attractive to the eye and to me, i would genuinely LOVE to be a part of the team (if it works that way lol), i really feel like you can make them try so many things and they would actually ROCK IT, literally. Anyways, the only thing that i had a hard time really enjoying was the outfits planned for their recent concerts. They were mismatched, too dangerous for such hot weather (literally thick layering of clothes while being on stage with fire canons for example), overdone or too plain. I just really enjoyed the black suits with the words and sentences, mottos written on it, though. So, for fun i just decided to design some concepts on concert outfits, and people gave me heartwarming feedback and it made me think, that mayhaps it could be a fun job to look for ? Does it make sense ? i had done around 3 whole outfits templates and i even redid the FiRE poster because, to my eye, it was missing so much. But everything obviously comes from an amateur's eye, i do not wish to sound pretentious!!!!! I don't mind doing it on my freetime too, but styling them could be so fun, even for their future works. There's so much, again, that you can make them try and you'd KNOW it would work... But how does it work generally ? is Balko the only stylist, or does she have a team with her that decides on everything clothes wise ? How accessible it is ? How does it work ? I wouldn't mind only designing or styling stuff exclusively for concerts either! is that even a field that exists ? That i could build a portfolio on and send to them ? Especially for their overseas concerts. It is something i would love to try ! Overall, i think its not avoidable, but i do not really wish to work for k-pop groups, i just enjoy working in stuff i am most inspired on and that i also wear on the daily, which is any kind of Rock, metal..alt....you name it ! Thanks to anyone that reads my silly thoughts LOL wishing yall a sweet day or evening!!!!! submitted by /u/Which-Bus-2305 [link] [comments]

BEAST was on a league of its own before and I keep wondering that they'll be one of the biggest group if they made their debut in this generation. 👏🏻 submitted by /u/Usual-Range8617 [link] [comments]

What I mean, which tracks will be seen as songs that changed, helped… the pop music of korea/the industry? I really think Gee, Ring Ding Dong and Gangnam Style are up there. But please do discuss! submitted by /u/sameoldrussianstan [link] [comments]

This might sound like a broken record to some, but I just need to rant: GOT7 deserves so much more respect in the K-pop discourse. I’m tired of the way they’re either dismissed or forgotten entirely when people talk about 3rd gen legends. Like how do you talk about 3rd gen without mentioning the group that outsold, outcharted, and outperformed in almost every corner of Asia without having the full backing of their company? They were literally self-producing before it was trendy. They were dropping full albums yearly (sometimes multiple), doing world tours, speaking multiple languages on stage, and still getting called "irrelevant" because they didn’t have the same Western PR machine behind them. It’s crazy how much they actually did: Built a loyal global fandom without major promo. Each member with their own solo identity, yet still putting group first. Left their company and still came back to release music as 7, without drama or mess. Who else even does that? I’m not saying people need to stan, but the selective amnesia when it comes to their contributions is insane. GOT7 walked so a lot of these newer groups could even exist in the global space. I get it, they’re not the trend anymore. But damn, a little respect wouldn’t kill people. submitted by /u/Critical_Year_4762 [link] [comments]

Asking those who make kpop related posts, when was a time when you got hate. It could be a genuine wrong doing or unreasonable hate. submitted by /u/Full-Amoeba5171 [link] [comments]

GD's Ubermensch album and Ten's Stunner mini both really felt like such perfect gifts for me this year. And they dropped just one month apart and both had tours (although Ten's was too rushed it felt inhumane). So yeah seeing GD wear a floral jacket in his concert tour made me happy cuz what are the odds that he'll be wearing something similar to Ten's concert teaser photos jacket? And I have never seen any other male artist wear the same type of jacket! And no, I don't do ships, nor do I feel that they need to be friends. But yeah, somehow, it makes me happy that my faves may actually have more things in common aside from being very talented, being into painting and being short, lol.😅 Just like how pleased I am when I have something in common with my faves too. I know it's trivial but sometimes small things like these are interesting for me. Anyone else here who are fans of both GD and TEN and could relate? Or anyone else who has faves who aren't close to each other but who share common stuff? submitted by /u/Intelligent-Ad9582 [link] [comments]

My personal one for singles and title tracks Twice - This is For Ive - be alright BP - Jump Le Sserafim - different Le Sserafim - Kawaii Baby Monster - Hot Sauce(although if OST’s count I would probably put Ghost number 1) Kiss of life - Lips hips kiss(Although I like their b side k bye more) Meovv - Hands up Meovv - Drop Top Aespa - Dirty work Ps. Not familiar with illit enough but I know they had a few releases I listened to once. No opinion on jellyous and do the dance yet. And katseye Gabriella and gameboy both rank pretty low for me. Pretty disappointed with dirty work, nowhere near Armageddon or whiplash for me. And pretty surprised by twice. I was never a fan really but this is for is great and the three in kpop demon hunters had great vocals in the movie. If Nmixx 4 months ago is considered recent enough, know about me would be high up the list. submitted by /u/Pdideee [link] [comments]

There’s a rumor going around that JYPE is planning to redebut the current members of VCHA. This comes after the abuse they went through was brought to light, which led to two members leaving the group. The issue now is with the fandom. Some fans have been editing out the two girls who left, claiming the group “actually has talent now,” and even harassing KG for speaking out about the abuse. I understand that people miss the group — I really do. But going this far is disgusting. Even if they redebut with new staff, it’s still not right to support it. What are your thoughts? submitted by /u/mcdense [link] [comments]

mine would be 1. Ahyeon & Chiquita 2. Asa 3. Rami 4. Ruka 5. Pharita 6. Rora could change anytime lol, in fact im more of an OT7 but this is just a ranking, drop yours in the comments obviously based on nothing but personal feeling and preferences, as yours need to be too submitted by /u/NicolasAntinarella [link] [comments]

How many groups do you follow pretty closely - like, know all the comebacks, can name all the members, maybe have at least some merch? And related - are there groups you maybe like, but don’t follow quite as closely? “Oh, they have some sings I like, but I wouldn’t buy their merch.” Further - groups that are like, “I’d probably like them if I knew them better, but boy, there’s a lot of K-Pop these days!” Please no hate for any group! submitted by /u/TJRex01 [link] [comments]

We're half way through 2025, so let's return to last year for a moment. As the title says, what song from 2024 do you feel people slept on? I'm most looking for hidden gems that seemed to pass everyone's radar without a blip but went straight into your playlist, but if you think a song getting 10 million views should've gotten a 100 million in a fair world, by all means mention that :D Here's my picks: On My Bike by Purple Kiss. The vocals are vocaling, the girls are girling - the views are barely a million?? Shining on you by Wooah. Super cute, airy summer track. Has it really been their last release? Bloom by i-dle. This gem of a song is one of my absolute favourites from i-dle. While it's doing well for a b-side, I wish it got more attention because it's super pretty. submitted by /u/erdgrin [link] [comments]

i feel so suffocated everytime i open ANY app its always katseye katseye katseye. i think the girls are pretty and talented and good for them but their music is so mid and i feel so forced into stanning them? EVERY. SINGLE VIDEO. IS ABOUT THEM. AND THEIR DRAMA. AND NOW APPARENTLY THE GIRLS ARE EXCLUDING MANON AND DANIELA IS HAVING LUNCH WITH NAISHA. I DONT KNOW WHo any of these girls are or what it means but i know alllll this information. and im so stupid i keep falling for it. i scroll after a quick 2 second read. and then it keeps coming again and again. now i understand that this is how algorithms work. but its JUST katseye. i like a lot of food content i like makeup i like other stuff too. i dont even like kpop that much anymore!!!! BUT WHY do i always have to hear about katseye? im sure stanning them is fun, but pushing their content down my throat is only making me avoid them all the more. does anyone else have similar experiences? could be a very large marketing scheme which i've always suspected to be true since the beginning. i'm an adult with a job i want to watch my own interests STOP TRYING TO MAKE KATSEYE HAPPEN INSIDE MY BRAIN. submitted by /u/thepeachtreevillage [link] [comments]
