Song Battle: Spelling Bee Edition - Which song title gets the dictionary entry?

Hello everyone! We are excited to take a trip back in time to revisit some K-Pop classics once again, continuing with this rate, the "Early Gen 3" Girl Groups Rate! (If you haven't already, make sure to join r/kpoprates to ensure that you stay updated on future rate-related posts!) Quick Links: Ballot submission: Link to Reddit Chat to message a ballot // Ballot template (Google Docs ver.) // Ballot template (Pastebin) Playlists: Spotify // Youtube (Audio ver.) // Youtube (Lyrics ver.) // Youtube (MV ver.) Deadline: July 7th (Monday), 11:59 Pacific (Link to a timezone converter) How the songs were selected: We used the /r/kpop Top Ten Tuesdays results to grab the most adored songs from each of the artists on Reddit, and we also had a songlist feedback survey on /r/kpoprates to help decide the songlist! Now, without further ado, let's introduce the 55 songs (& 7 bonus songs) that were selected for this rate, ordered chronologically for each artist (artists were also ordered by debut date): . Spica: Russian Roulette You Don’t Love Me EXID: Every Night Up & Down Ah Yeah Hot Pink Night Rather Than Day DDD I Love You HelloVenus: Wiggle Wiggle I’m ill Mysterious Crayon Pop: Bar Bar Bar AOA: Miniskirt Short Hair Like a Cat Heart Attack Good Luck 10 Seconds Excuse Me FIESTAR: One More You’re Pitiful Ladies’ Code: Pretty Pretty Galaxy The Rain BESTie: Love Options Excuse me Mamamoo: Piano Man You’re the Best Décalcomanie Starry Night Egotistic Wind Flower Gogobebe HIP Laboum: Journey to Atlantis Hwi Hwi Lovelyz: Ah-Choo Destiny WoW! Now, We That Day Sonamoo: Friday Night GFriend: Me Gustas Tu Rough Navillera Fingertip Time For The Moon Night Apple Mago Brave Girls: Deepened Rollin’ We Ride Chi Mat Ba Ram After We Ride . Bonus Rate: The bonus rate is basically an extension of the main rate! There were several songs that received high praise during the songlist feedback survey that still were barely not able to make the main rate, so we have put them into the bonus rate here to give them a chance to be rated. . EXID - Lady HelloVenus - Venus Crayon Pop - FM Fiestar - Mirror Ladies’ Code - Bad Girl Laboum - Between Us GFriend - Labyrinth . The Bonus Rate is optional and you do not have to submit a score for every song in the bonus list if you do it: you can score none of them, all of them, or any number in between. You cannot give a 0 or 11 to any song in the bonus, as they are not part of the main rate. While it is optional, we hope you consider participating. Spotify playlist YouTube playlist (MV version) YouTube playlist (Audio version) YouTube playlist (Lyrics version) Rules: You must listen to and assign a score to EVERY song listed. If your ballot is missing any scores it will not be eligible and you'll be sent a message asking you to fill in the missing scores. Each song should be assigned a score between 1 to 10. Decimals up to one point are allowed but any further is a no-no – 6.9 is fine, but 6.99 is not. You can use ONE 0 and ONE 11 for the entirety of the rate, for your least favorite and most favorite song respectively - they are optional but HIGHLY encouraged if you feel some type of way about any given song! Comments are also encouraged but not required for such scores (except if you give a song a 0). Comments are encouraged and much appreciated (but not required, except for if you give a 0) and can be added to any song by simply typing after the numerical score, like so: Hip: 2.4 Ofc the title track that utilizes Mamamoo's vocal power the least ends up becoming the most popular (yells angrily at cloud) This is the ONLY correct way to format a comment. Please do not include colons (ex. 9: I stan!), dashes (ex. 3.3 - This song sucks), or any other symbol after your score/before your comment as it breaks the program. You can also give comments for individual artists! Just write your comment after the :, such as the following: EXID: Are they pronounced like "exit" or are you supposed to say every letter separately? I'll never know For this rate and most future rates, we have a ballot average minimum of 4.00. In addition, if your ballot average is between 4.00-5.50, you must leave comments on your lower scores (which we define as any score that's a 3 or lower). {Do not worry about having to calculate your ballot average, once you submit your ballot, we will tell you if you need to make changes to your ballot for it to be accepted.} SUBMITTING A BALLOT: * Link to Reddit Chat to message a ballot As Reddit is (unfortunately) moving away from the private messaging system in favor of utilizing the Reddit chat system, we are forced to also adopt the Reddit chat system for messaging. You can make a copy of either the Google Docs or Pastebin ballot templates below, add your scores on your local copy/file, and send the link to your local copy/file in your Reddit Chat message to u/KpopRates_Ghost. * Google Docs ballot template * Pastebin ballot template Google spreadsheet template that you can use to calculate averages, record scores, and make predictions Alternatively, if you have Discord, you can message the link to your ballot to both the rate hosts, @Zypker124 and @aidshha.

Articles / Timeline 250422 This day marks one year since HYBE launched their audit of Min Hee Jin and ADOR's management. Happy(?) 1st anniversary of the Megathreads! 250502 The 3rd hearing for Min Hee Jin vs. Belift Lab was set to take place but postponed to July 18th at Belift Lab's request. Each side is due to present their arguments/documents regarding plagiarism issues at the next meeting. (Source: Maeil Kyungjae) 250530 We learned that ADOR had filed for 'indirect enforcement' after their injunction was granted and NewJeans performed at ComplexCon back in March (Filed on April 4th according to the statement from NewJeans' representatives linked below). On the 30th, the 52nd Division of the Seoul Central District court further granted this request. The 'indirect enforcement' ruling means that each individual member of NewJeans will be fined 1 billion won (approx. $725,000) if they continue with entertainment activities independent of ADOR, which would be in violation of the injunction. This enforcement with potential fines does NOT apply to any of NewJeans' independent activities between the granting of the injunction and the granting of this 'indirect enforcement'. These fines will only apply to future activities going forward, or at least until rulings with NewJeans' appeal or the main contract validity case changes anything (next hearing on June 5th). (Source: Chosun Biz, MK Sports) The Korea Herald: Court orders NewJeans to pay Ador 1 billion won for each unauthorized activity Discussion Post Korea JoongAng Daily: Court orders NewJeans members to pay ADOR $725,600 for every independent entertainment activity A statement by NewJeans' representatives was made later in the day primarily acknowledging the indirect enforcement ruling, but reiterating that it is temporary and will no longer have an effect if NewJeans win their appeal of the injunction. (Source: Ilgan Sports) The 2nd hearing for Source Music's damages lawsuit against Min Hee Jin took place at the 12th Civil Affairs Division of the Seoul Western District Court. (Quick recap: 1st was January 10th, 2nd was previously scheduled for March 14th, postponed per Source Music's request). Legal representatives were present. Source Music had a 20-minute presentation prepared, but Min Hee Jin's representatives objected to the inclusion of KakaoTalk messages in the presentation. They claimed the messages were illegally obtained and requested the hearing to be closed/private. Source Music denied the messages were obtained illegally, claiming they were gained from company devices with consent. The court went with a temporary compromise to keep the hearing public, but not allow discussion/display of the messages until they were reviewed again. A special hearing to review the messages will take place June 27th. (Source: Sports Today) 250605 The Seoul Central District Court Division 41 held the second hearing for ADOR seeking confirmation of validity for their exclusive contract with NewJeans. Only legal representatives were in attendance. NewJeans' side primarily argued that ADOR had not met their obligations and that their evidence they were preparing to support NewJeans' activities, like finding a new producer, was inadequate. ADOR's side argued that NewJeans' reasons for allegedly terminating their contract continually changed, indicating they are arbitrary and being made up with retroactive hindsight. The issue of some evidence being collected illegally also came up again from NewJeans' side. Judge Jung Hoe-Il specifically inquired if both/either sides were willing to come to an agreement, encouraging them to do so. NewJeans' representatives strongly indicated this was unlikely as the trust in ADOR had completely collapsed. ADOR's representatives indicated they could see negotiating an agreement once the court comes to a final decision. The 3rd hearing was set for July 24th. (Sources: X Sport News, Maeil Kyungjae) 250612 The next hearing regarding the Shareholder Agreement termination and exercising put/call options lawsuits between HYBE and Min Hee Jin was held at the Seoul Central District Court's 31st Division. Arguments from each side mostly re-tread what we've already covered. HYBE's side argued they were justified in ending the shareholder agreement due to the threat Min Hee Jin posed to the company. Min Hee Hin's side argued the timing of the audit/termination did not align purely with that concern and that some KakaoTalk messages and emails were obtained illegally and not admissable as evidence. HYBE also indicated they had a witness to give testimony at the next meeting, which the court accepted. The next hearing with closing arguments, was set for September 11th for both lawsuits. (Sources: Maeil Kyungjae, TV Daily, Sports Today) 250617 Following up from April 16th when NewJeans appealed the court's decision to uphold the injunction and halt on their independent activities, the Seoul High Court reaffirmed the earlier decision. The court rejected NewJeans' appeal. They determined there was no significant change in the material/arguments presented for the appeal and the original decision to grant ADOR's injunction was justified. There was further clarification that the management conflict between HYBE and Min Hee Jin, and her no longer being NewJeans' producer, did not constitute a valid argument for the alleged collapse of trust between ADOR and NewJeans. The group's withdrawal from ADOR is considered arbitrary, that their artistic freedom or activity is not impeded since they are able to do so within their exclusive contract, and that any damages resulting from attempting independent activities are self-inflicted.

Ew trump. I do not support any misogynistic, white nationalist, incel, hitler-like (esp. Musk), racists at all and neither does this sub and apparently neither does reddit as a site as a whole. He stands against everything Kpop stands for which is an art form from a formerly colonized people from a country that is rising up against colonialism and hatred. Anyone who comments anything negative to this, or tries to defend that orange guy will be banned permanently. Go somewhere else, we don't want your lower kind here.

Hey folks! Over in r/kpop we just posted a new special Town Hall that is focused only on the Flairs we use to help organize our posts based on content categories. Link to r/kpop's 'All About Flairs' Town Hall We included announcements for new flairs here on r/kpoppers and also on r/kpophelp. The following is the section relevant for this subreddit. NEW FLAIRS! Connect - This flair will be used for anything where fans are trying to socially connect with each other. Announcing new K-Pop subreddits or Discords, looking for mutual fans on social media, wanting to meet up at a concert, seeking fans in a region to form a dance group, networking for a fan project, announcing a K-Pop night at a club, etc. Research - Academic surveys related to K-Pop or fandom topics. We'll keep an eye on these new flairs to see if they create any confusion or need adjustments. Let us know if you have any thoughts, concerns, or questions! submitted by /u/alleybetwixt [link] [comments]

The subreddit is mostly uncensored as long as people follow the rules. Generalizing statement about Korea, Korean society, etc or most other countries are not acceptable except under the following standards: The only claims that are acceptable when generalizing Korean society in this sub are those that bring up generalizable stastical claims by the standards of the international statistics institute. Not only do the vast majority of stastistics you can find on the internet about Korea not up to this minimum, basic standard but this requirement includes having ample sample size, blocking by relevant demographics and sometimes even double blind tests. So if you make a generalizing claim, your wording must be properly formatted and links to the relevant studies provided. In other words, the standard for making a generalization is very high in this sub. Not to mention the wording for your claim has to be properly made. Anyone who has taken a college level statistics class will know what I am talking about and we may even require you to provide the confidence level interval if it's relevant for your study. If you cannot meet these standards, I would just avoid doing it in general. submitted by /u/Kpop_Love_Forever [link] [comments]

First, I read the rules and it didn't say anything about promoting whatsapp groups (?), so I hope this is fine. ૮ ․ ․ ྀིა I haven't created the group yet, but if you all seem interested, I will create it and edit the link here. It's just with the purpose of talking and make close friends from all across the world. Sorry if my grammar is off, English is not my first language.

In my last post I asked people to drop their unpopular kpop opinions and someone wrote Jungkook is boring as a solo artist. While I completely disagree with the opinion but it had crazy amount of upvotes. So, what are your thoughts.While I feel his album Golden was quite generic and nothing ground breaking and it failed to showcase his artistry ..but can we collectively agree he is a great performer, not everyone can pull off songs like snty on stage.Tbh I did not like Snty on my first listen, but it grew on my after the live performances, the way he pulled of every stages he performed is actually impressive.He has good vocals, he is good in dancing but most importantly he has an insane stage presence.They energy he brings to the stage is actually commendable. I believe, what he needs to do is sit with his team and discuss properly about the artistic direction he wants to follow and involve more in the creative process of his solo work to give more flavour to it. Involving in the creative process not necessarily means writing all his songs...but he can give more inputs in the production process or give visual direction in the MVs (since he mentioned earlier he has a knack for videography) rather than just simply doing what's being told to do. Because, I think he has a great creative range and an artistic mind. He is also an amazing song writer. We have seen some glimpse of his creativity in songs like Euphoria or Still with you, Begin,My Time, Magic shop.I think he simply needs proper guidance to polish that.But, he is far from boring. submitted by /u/Due_Collection_3363 [link] [comments]

For me I think it's those 3 txt songs. Eternally: I remember very well the first time I listened to it, I was laying in my bed. The first part of the song sounded like a lullaby so I was getting sleepy, but then the second distorted part came in and it literally jumpscared me 😅. It was so unexpected. But honestly, out of all the songs that have this change up in it, it's one of the best executed. It feels like a dream and a nightmare at the same time, truly a masterpiece. Frost: For this one, I didn’t expect to like it at all. Freeze was my very first comeback as a MOA so my expectations were very high. When I listened to the preview, I didn’t like the sound of it at first, so I was skeptical and a little worried. But I ended up loving the song, and even more after the performance video. It became one of my favorites from TXT. 0×1=LOVESONG: As I said, my expectations for this comeback were huge and they did not disappoint!!! It's still my favorite TXT song, and from K-pop as a whole. If only I could listen to it for the first time again… The song is truly mind-blowing, I can’t even describe it. Everything is just so perfect: the vocals, the instrumental, the emotions, the lyrics. It even dethroned Run Away as my favorite TXT song and I was completely obsessed with it when I was a new fan. I don't stan enhypen and Ateez (I'm more of a casual listener) but I also want to add Drunk-Dazed and Answer. They left me speechless, they are some of my favorite kpop songs. I really recommend people who have never heard of these songs to listen to them, truly one of a kind experience (at least for me)! I am also curious about yours and to make it more interessing It would be great if you explain why! submitted by /u/Technical_Walrus9158 [link] [comments]

Katseye x Megan Thee Stallion (now ik she had her time with Billie alr but after that gap jeans ad… this combo will be HOT) Red Velvet x Kehlani (now idk why but i just feel like i’m cooking with this one…. u can judge me tho) Seventeen (esp them vocal line) x Charlie Puth (charlie is a genius, he would make any collab work like magic) ya’ll can judge me w/ my choices tho but what do ya’ll think? and if there’s anything u can change with this list, tell me! submitted by /u/gayahhbeach [link] [comments]

One of the most popular jabs against Twice for at least the last 4 years is how they can't even compete with 4th gen girl groups, even if it was just natural for new and trendy groups with fresher concepts and music and way more promotions to do that. But I think it's pretty safe to say right now that Twice has outlived all 4th gen girl groups, who are now going through the same thing Twice had to when they were 4-5 years old in the industry. So let's see the numbers in Spotify to compare and understand it: Twice, This is For | Total: 78m - Daily: 463k Lesserafim, Hot | Total: 117m - Daily: 277k Ive, Rebel Heart | Total: 67m - Daily: 119k Illit, Do the Dance | Total: 62m - Daily: 406k Aespa, Dirty Work | Total: 59m - Daily: 302k Babymonster, Hot Sauce | Total: 34m - Daily: 207k Nmixx, Know About Me | Total: 28m - Daily: 54k I-dle, Good Thing | Total: 24m - Daily: 61k Kiss of Life, Lips Hips Kiss | Total: 18m - Daily: 80k Itzy, Girls Will Be Girls | Total: 18m - Daily: 72k Stayc, Bebe | Total: 12m - Daily: 15k So in less than 90 days, Twice was able to outstream almost every 4th and 5th gen comeback, even if it was released months before them. And the terrible thing is the current daily streams, they are getting not only outstreamed by several tracks in each of those artists discographies, but also by Twice's 10 years old debut Like Ooh-Ahh and the lowest point in Twice's career One Spark. I can't even put into words just how bad it is for a freshly released song to be outstreamed by One Spark. Some of those daily streams are catastrophic, not only telling us how most of them failed to capture the public attention this year, but also how minuscule their fandoms are and how bad the future is looking for them. In the end, Twice and Onces had the last laugh. submitted by /u/randkpopstan [link] [comments]
