Some agencies and members of ZEROBASEONE (ZB1) agree to a contract extension

hi! i recently made a video about kpop demon hunters and my thoughts on opinions on different aspects of the film, some of my opinions might be unpopular but please be kind we can agree to disagree submitted by /u/mariawannabegal [link] [comments]

This video makes some good points about kpop groups booking arenas that are too big and making tickets too expensive. I’m surprised to learn that fromis_9 originally booked arenas in the US, they had to downgrade to theaters submitted by /u/etoilez [link] [comments]

In between building myself a new desk earlier today for whatever reason I started thinking about this and wondered if there was still a better site to support rookie groups/idols instead of just the common ways (Social media, Streaming, promoting them, etc) like what Makestar used to do. Some people appear to know Makestar or get it confused with Mwave (Mwave is underneath MNET who often does signed albums/goods/etc), while from what I remember Makestar did a lot of supporting to drama/OST related projects and merchandise, and considerably nugu groups. Where if I remember correctly, I believe I remember seeing VANNER do promotion/support for their green coloured album (can't think of the name right now...), and I think it was one of the first 'projects' VANNER ever did. They offered benefits and goods to different teirs/ ranks. I've been checking in on Makestar every now and then just to see what's there, and I can't help but realize they've changed a lot to, not only is the website completely different to what I knew but it seems they do more fan calls, meet n greets, limited photocard events and stuff like this. I remember supporting these two other rookie groups who never debuted and one comeback mv got cancelled and we ended up getting refunded, it kinda made me wonder I guess if that's why Makestar kinda changed due to it being so unknown. A project could get funded but sometimes an entire debut or comeback gets scrapped and that's a lot to deal with on its own. I really enjoyed that concept and thought it was really cool. I guess I just wanted confirmation that this isn't only me who remembers it being that way lol, and that it could be a possiblity. I have gotten a couple suggestions in the past but its mostly sites in Korea where its Korea only or very limited translations, and offering goods for people on site. submitted by /u/Responsible-Box2876 [link] [comments]

This is pretty random but I just noticed it after watching Cortis’ new mv since I mainly only watch TXT mvs and they don’t use it. I actually just assumed they hadn’t used it anymore, but I also checked J-hope’s recent mvs and the intro was used as well. Anyways, please let me know if there’s an explanation since I’m curious, Thanks submitted by /u/kkaashii [link] [comments]

Not the Stray Kids one, the weird one from Loona. The more she talks the more I want someone to do a study on how detrimental their time under BBC was to their mental health. She had auditory and visual hallucinations and convinced herself she was seeing ghosts and her friend instead of telling her it's not normal used it to drag her to church and convert her to Christianity. And on the off-hand she was like "Big Bang theory is hilarious, who believes in that?" I'm seriously worried what insane thing she's going to say next because this is a lot already, she seems gullible and I'm afraid she's going to be indoctrinated into something much worse especially because of how many religious cults there are already in SK. For anyone interested full translation. submitted by /u/Lilac_Bloom_ [link] [comments]

So lately I've been seeing reels, shorts, and TikToks of influencers who have never talked about kpop all of a sudden show clips of them going to see Ateez, Stray kids, Black Pink, and eventually BTS since they are on tour. Now I'm not saying that people can't be new fans, but the wave of influencers who all of sudden hop on kpop when they were the same people making fun of those who enjoy kpop and treating us like weirdos. This same thing happened with anime fans and how those who were interested in it back then were bullied so much, but now that their Favorite celebrity is collaborating with kpop groups or showing their intest in anime all of a sudden it's fine. As long as a lot of influencers don't use this to make ticket prices even higher and act like they were super fans for clout then whatever. submitted by /u/MochaMilku [link] [comments]

I found many idols and actors that look very similar. Like Taeyong, Jae joong and Kim Myung Soo(L) could be the same person😂. Also ( Eun bin CLC) and Kim hee Jung. Soobin (txt ) and Min-Hyuk (BTOB). Woo Do Hwan and Kang SEO jun. Anyone else has someone in mind that looks almost identical?? submitted by /u/AdventurousEar2397 [link] [comments]

July 2024 data. Bloomberg did a plot of songs released by the Big 4, since 1995, by percent of English lyrics. You'll see it here if you scroll down the middle. I’d guess it's gotten higher since, with more Katseye and solo BP releases. Kpop wasn't known for 100% English singles like Twice This Is For until recent years. Second slide shows the percent of foreign born members in Big 4 groups, reaching 47% in the most recent 4 years. The Bloomberg article talks about SM's investment in 'Western' Kpop, both the UK group that would become DearAlice and with building its internal pool of Western songwriters/producers. This article (Korea Herald) partly confirms my suspicion about diminishing returns on English lyrics, at least in Korea. I was thinking about this in the context of the KDH soundtrack bringing more meaning to the English lyrics, in contrast to something like Gnarly. I get the irony behind Alice Longyu Gao’s explanation, but that’s lost in the dissonance between her intent and its use mainly as a dance track in the final product. Self-evident, but worth noting: meaningful English is an important part of the formula that helped KDH songs blow up. Authenticity in the execution is part of that meaning. This isn't a knock on Katseye; Gnarly is working for them. It's a stylistic difference, emotional connection to sell the movie vs. dance entertainment. Kpop needs bring stimulating entertainment, that’s why the genre name sounds closest to ‘bop’ 😐. But I think the unexpected vibes and breaking dogmas is what makes KDH work. Like ‘heartfelt’ on Golden, the aggressive and percussive af How It’s Done, or having a leading GG/BG duet. submitted by /u/hyeran_jainros_fc [link] [comments]
