This Week In KPOP - September 27, 2025

1) Comment only 1 girl per country along with a picture. 2) They DO NOT have to be from a K-Pop group specifically, but they do have to be from a girl group! 3) Bi-racial idols are allowed, however, if they win for one category, they are ineligible for another. 4) Votes will be calculated after 24 hours. Twice’s Tzuyu took the win for Taiwan! For the final round, we’re looking for a representative from Japan! South Korea: Jihyo (TWICE) The Philippines: Sophia (KATSEYE) Mainland China: Yuqi (i-dle) Thailand: Minnie (i-dle) India: Sriya (Blackswan) Hong Kong: Vivi (Loosemble) Vietnam: Nien (tripleS) Taiwan: Tzuyu (TWICE) Once we complete this chart, we’ll do the same with a boy group! submitted by /u/sailormusic [link] [comments]

I saw this post on another kpop subreddit and felt the need to voice that "just because an idol promotes a certain brand does not mean they agree with everything the brand stands for" Is it really that hard to understand that Taehyung promotes Coca Cola because its the most popular soft drink in the world and hes being paid millions to do it? You think he’s sitting there doing ethical case studies on Coca Cola’s labor history? Yall really think he thought about whatever stuff the company supports before signing, no?? he signed because theyre the most popular drink company are you stupid?? Mark promoting Mcdonalds because its the most popular fast food restaurant in the world? Promotion ≠ personal alignment with everything the brand has ever done. Gdragon and jungkook are kinda undefendable but again, just because someone took a small portion of what someone said and agreed with it, DOES NOT mean they agree with EVERYTHING that an individual endorses? Is it that hard to understand?? This weird expectation that idols must be moral philosophers, political activists, and PR perfectionists 24/7 while also being criticized for “being too scripted and fake” is exhausting. You can criticize questionable choices — that’s fair — but acting like they’ve aligned themselves with every controversy tied to a multinational corporation is just intellectually lazy. Some counterarguments: “Idols have influence so they must be responsible!” Most brand deals aren’t deep ethical partnerships — they’re transactional. An idol signs because it’s good exposure and part of the job, not because they’ve sat down and aligned themselves with the company’s full political history. Expecting every idol to do moral background checks on every product they touch is unrealistic when even the loudest critics still consume these same brands privately. They’re not activists. They’re entertainers doing business. “But they’re rich — they can afford to refuse!” That assumes they even care enough about the company’s ethics to refuse. Most don’t. Not because they’re evil — but because they’re detached from Western discourse and corporate scandals that fans obsess over online. To them, Coke and McDonald’s aren’t “controversial brands” — they’re just global household names. Acting like endorsing them is some grand moral statement is projecting our politics onto people who likely never made that connection. They didn’t choose the brand to make a statement. They chose it because it’s popular. https://preview.redd.it/w58ngy3lesrf1.png?width=1407&format=png&auto=webp&s=dccb771cb2be6926b7a40514fd986b5bb1d221a3 submitted by /u/Justinandmessi107lox [link] [comments]

Ok basically you know those performances where an idol looks/gets really angry on stage as if they’re putting all their raw emotion into it? For example Jimin from BTS growling “FAKE LOVE!” in one of the performances really.. that insane passion you know?? the ANGER And HOSHI from SEVENTEEN basically screams every chance he gets lol it’s like all the energy and passion just explodes on stage (he literally also said, in one of their behind the scenes, something like that his blood boils before going on stage and that it explodes on stage... wow.) I'm looking for other performances where boy group idols had that fierce performance as if it's their last performance kind of stage presence! Would love clips! submitted by /u/DrearBeats [link] [comments]

https://www.koreaboo.com/news/gdragon-faces-backlash-alleged-show-support-donald-trump/?cb=dnyQJA People here were extremely upset about Siwon with charlie kirk but no one dares to talk about GD and Trump? Trump is literally the fatherhead of what Charlie Kirk base his ideology on. Is it because he's GD so we give him a pass? submitted by /u/diplomat_extreme [link] [comments]

I’m pretty sure we’ll keep seeing the hundredth post like, “Look, this idol/group is using AI for something.” I even saw people talking about it on variety show threads, which was kinda funny. Overall, Korea just doesn’t give nearly as much of a damn about this as Reddit does. Yeah, AI’s gonna keep being used. If it bothers you, show it with your wallet. submitted by /u/Striking-Meal-5257 [link] [comments]

Youngbin just debuted and she is under INNIT Entertainment, which is a JYPe subsidiary. But so far her videos do get posted on the main JYP Entertainment youtube channel. She's genuinely a very good vocalist and strong performer. However she is mostly being overlooked by the larger kpop audience, and I wouldn't expect her to be massively popular right away but its the degree to which shes gone under the radar that is surprising. Even though she's being posted on JYPe Youtube with 31 million subs, her debut MV from 10 days ago only has 8k likes, and her song that was released on Sept. 17th has just 20k streams on Spotify. so idk this post is all over the place. I hope it can bring a little more attention to her. But I also want to discuss how there can be almost zero attention at all for her debut. All I can think of is that maybe the "big 4 buff" for a debut doesn't really apply to a soloist that hasn't already debuted in a group. Though I also wonder if people just aren't so interested in what JYP are releasing anymore as far as new artists. It seems like HYBE has all the casual fan's attention. I can't help but think that if HYBE debuted a brand new female soloist right now with Youngbin's kind of style and talent that she would be way bigger already. But maybe people disagree with that speculation? submitted by /u/wonhaeoh [link] [comments]

*Sorry for the silly title, I had to hit the characters limit. I don't know much about Pentagon or Kino but YouTube did its job and recommended me this song https://youtu.be/tiHQSQEaDNc?si=p3S1bsiTJOKNoHjm It's a "I hate my job, I'm too sexy for it" type of song. The lyrics and so real and unhinged and he looks stunning in the MV. I think it's also pretty unusual for an idol to say that they love club, sex and cigarettes, so yep I think it's an interesting song worth checking out. submitted by /u/Sil_Choco [link] [comments]

Are there other reasons why besides their visuals, vocals, chemistry, catchy songs & cool choreo? LE SSERAFIM (Ult GG): Love their age gap; truly feel like a sisterhood. Their fan interaction during and after concert performances. Fim's Club are so adorable. MEOVV: Zuha wore their pin on the ECH Tour. Saw their poster in K-Pop Demon Hunters. I'm a cat person, so 'nuff said 🐈‍⬛️ NMIXX: Just found out that they have a lore, and I'm intrigued. Their Acapella Medleys are wow. Eunchae and Kyujin are friends. submitted by /u/FEBRY_FEBRERO [link] [comments]
