I don't think I've enjoyed a Super Junior comeback this much since Play in 2017. Even when I returned to the group earlier this year, while I did like the comebacks I caught up on (especially Mango and its associated mini-album?), there were others that I was a bit underwhelmed by - like their Christmas album, and Show Time last year (which admittedly was a rushed cashgrab single to promote the rushed cashgrab tour that SM forced onto them). I'll admit my expectations for this comeback were relatively low because I'd felt like the music quality had gone down a bit, and I didn't want to have high expectations only to be disappointed. Even when they announced the title track, Express Mode, to be club dancepop, I was worried it would be their "how do you do fellow kids?" boomer vibe songs again like Show Time, House Party or Super Clap. Oh, how wrong I was. Express Mode, the title track of their 20th anniversary album Super Junior 25 (a callback to their first album in 2005 called Super Junior 05) dropped today at 6PM KST and I will tell you I have not enjoyed an SJ title track this much in ages, not even when I was an ELF when I was younger. It's quite experimental and like what the members were saying ahead of the comeback, it's nothing like their other songs. It has such an addictive beat, and it sounds so refreshingly modern and "cool" while also somewhat giving me Bonamana vibes. It's definitely a return to their more serious and mature sound which I've craved for so long. Kyuhyun, Ryeowook and Yesung in my opinion definitely stood out in this song - I loved their bridge so much. And it was a pleasant surprise to see Heechul dancing in the full choreo after 10 years, where he did so much exercise and PT so he could dance despite his disability! And the rest of the album? To me it's pretty much no-skip, and admittedly it's been a while to say that's the case for an SJ album. Even the more relatively underwhelming songs are bangers that stand on their own. I think Say Less was their best song and was absolutely outstanding, it deserves to be the B-side and I'd say it's definitely a highlight in their 20-year discography. Maybe my opinion will change later down the line, but on first listen I enjoy all the songs, including the ones I felt weren't top-tier from the highlight clips. My personal favourites other than Say Less are D.N.A. (which is also an experimental sound I was surprised that I liked), Finale (that Donghae composed!) and the last track Stuck With You which is a really sweet song about SJ and their fans sticking together after so long. And the Korean general public seem to really enjoy it - it went #1 on Bugs when it released, and 7 of the 9 tracks made the Melon charts! It's their best digital performance in a while so I'm so happy for them! Of course, streaming doesn't mean everything, and SJ's fanbase is notoriously bad at it, but multiple SJ members have stated their desire for this comeback to be successful so I really hope it gets the success they wished for! submitted by /u/admiralmasa [link] [comments]

857. How are the Big 4 K-pop companies perceived differently on Reddit?

  • 6 days ago schedule
  • reddit.com language

This is just my personal observation based on what I’ve seen on my Reddit feed about how K-pop redditors usually talk about the Big 4 companies: HYBE – If you’re going to comment about them, it should be purely positive. Even if it’s negative, you need to make it sound positive. If not, you’ll be severely downvoted. JYP – This is probably the company that Redditors are most objective about. Like, they’re properly critiquing without sounding like haters. They call out the company’s flaws, but they also give credit when it’s due. It feels more balanced compared to the way the other companies are treated. SM – It’s difficult to post or comment positive things about their groups here, especially aespa. I just feel bad for them. While some comments are valid, most just resort to unnecessary hate. YG – It’s actually the same as SM, but the difference is they have more stans here who are ready to rebut the haters. Note: As I’ve said, this is just my observation based on my feed. I’m not sure how it looks on other people’s algorithms, but this is what I’ve consistently seen. submitted by /u/why_dmn [link] [comments]

Hi - this is more of a question than a thought/statement, but are there any group schedule accounts to follow? An account that updates on a group’s daily schedule (events going on for the week). I used to follow an Oh My Girl schedule account but they stopped posting. Thanks! submitted by /u/_Cake_729 [link] [comments]

861. Kpop fandoms and their one-sided beef

  • 6 days ago schedule
  • reddit.com language

I love kpop so much but lately I can't get over how obsessed kpop fandoms are with hating on any other group that is similar to the one they stan. I really started noticing it when P1harmony came back a few months back and I was so excited. I loved the songs, the vibes of the members, everything. And then I go on any kind of social media, open the comment section under any P1 post and the top comments be like "ENHYPEN DID IT BETTER". Like, GTFO of here with your one-sided beef. I love both groups, why cant you just enjoy them both without spreading hate??? And now that KARD has come back, people cant stop talking about how much better all day project is. I mean, we only have 2 successful mixed kpop groups. Why cant we support them both??? Kard has been a staple group for years. They come back every summer and they slay every single time. They write their own lyrics, produce their own songs and just overflow with talent. All day project is also super promisng. Famous is such a good song. They. Are. Both. Good. I know it shouldnt affect me this much but come onnnn. Y'all need to get a life or something and stop spreading toxicity in the kpop world. It's making me so mad. Your one-sided beef is cringe and you need to stfu if you've got nothing good to say. submitted by /u/theleviathan00 [link] [comments]

Rumi: Rosé from Black Pink Mira: Yeji from Itzy / Soyeon from I-dle Zoey: Wonhee from Illit This is just my humble opinion. Are there any sense to my choices? No. Did I base it off personality? Also no. Do I think someone will create a live action? Looking at Disney, probably. submitted by /u/hufflepuff_firefly [link] [comments]

868. I love K-Pop, but I miss how it made me feel.

  • 6 days ago schedule
  • reddit.com language

It’s not that K-pop now is bad. There are so many new groups that are insanely talented, and I still get excited about certain comebacks. But lately, I’ve been catching myself missing little things that used to make being a fan feel more… personal, I guess. I miss when groups used to go all-in on unique or experimental concepts, even if it wasn’t “mainstream.” Stuff like VIXX’s dark, theatrical eras, f(x)’s weird and wonderful aesthetic, or BTS during their HYYH era. And the idol interactions; the silly, chaotic behind the scenes clips, the show endings where everyone danced to the winner’s song, the music show MCs that became little friend groups over time. Now everything feels more separate, like each group lives in their own bubble. I know things change, and that’s okay. I still love K-pop. But sometimes I get hit with this weird kind of nostalgia. Maybe you’ve felt that too. What do you miss about K-Pop? submitted by /u/Seesawey [link] [comments]

870. Did anyone else find a lot of group names annoying at first

  • 6 days ago schedule
  • reddit.com language

I’ve always disliked certain group names that , and for whatever reason they’re almost always the survival show ones, El7z Up being the absolute worst. Other names I disliked include but aren’t limited to: ENHYPEN, ATEEZ, ZB1/Zerobaseone, IZ*ONE, (G)I-DLE (now without the G), TWS, and LE SSERAFIM. Mostly names that are supposed to have some kind of meaning or abbreviate something but end up being extra or being tacky. I remember being shook that they chose the name LE SSERAFIM seemingly just to have it be an anagram of their debut song IM FEARLESS. Just wanna add that I really like all the groups I mentioned, but the name was just at least slightly annoying to me at first. Like to this day I still don’t know what the “EN” in ENHYPEN means. TWS being TWS and pronounced twuss feels somewhat childish to me. But I’ve heard and seen the names so much that now idc. ATEEZ was not a bad name at all but now I know them as stripteez (what even is that group about 😭) I don’t know why but ILLIT’s name in particular is still annoying to me. And even more so when it used to be I’LL-IT which looks so ugly. The name itself doesn’t really sound catchy or pretty… I’ll it. I lit. Eyelet. Aisle it. I get that it’s supposed to be a contraction of I’ll be it or represent unlimited possibilities like “I’ll slay it,” but it’s always so confusing to people learning the group name’s meaning and pronunciation that it’s almost a bad name. Again, nothing comes close to the wifi password that is El7z Up but I feel like they could’ve given the ILLIT girls a more characteristic name especially because of their dreamy whimsical concept. Don’t get me started on the current fandom name. submitted by /u/choerry_bomb [link] [comments]
