This is crazy, hope Martin’s phone is with him.

From all I know, she had no experience before going to dream academy but in one year she suddenly became an idol. HOW? Was she picked just for her looks and star quality at first? This makes becoming an idol feel so easy compared to other careers like a violin soloist which takes decades. I might just be misinformed so please correct me, I just made this post because I was curious on how she did it so fast submitted by /u/AnthonyViolin [link] [comments]

I want to start saying that there are AI artists credited for this MV, but I want to talk about a specific scene that everybody was calling out assuming it was AI but isn’t. So the one that made this scene, the VFX designer of aespa, James Choe, posted the creative process (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DONYZoSEbX2/?igsh=ajJteGI2NGYyNTM=) as proof. He also posted more stories, saying things such as “not AI” and even showing happiness because there’s a post on X/Twitter going viral of his creative process, and he’s asking his followers to keep spreading so people stop accusing him of AI. I understand that we’re all frustrated about how much AI is being implemented in K-Pop content by companies, even the big ones. But NOT everything CGI/VFX is AI, and I personally think people should stop and research before instantly attacking creators. That being said, I love Rima Yoon (the director) and Rigend Film, but I do think she should stop involving AI altogether in her projects. Because her creators like James Choe then have to come out and defend their own art they worked very hard on. PD: If you guys are interested, you can check out all of his IG stories. He’s crediting all the people he worked with and they are also sharing the creative process for other scenes, like the car wreck (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DONw0bpkWnl/?igsh=MTh5MjZsMjl2b2cyMA==). submitted by /u/randomgirl852007 [link] [comments]

Like a few comments about it? Sure, but why does it seem like people can't find any other way to compliment this girl than this? It's such an odd comment. When are Eyekons going to realize that Katseye is and forever will be associated with Kpop? It's like they feel this overbearing need to tear down anything Kpop by comparing it to Katseye, and ofcourse the only comments they can come up with for the Korean member are comments saying how they're glad she's not part of some Kpop group. And why are they leaving comments like that as if the fans themselves aren't babying her like crazy? I get that she's the youngest, but I don't see anyone treating Lara (the second youngest) this way. The girl can't even swear without a bunch of fans freaking out. While she's not technically in a Kpop group, a lot of fans infantilize her (the way they like to do to Kpop idols too). I'm glad too that by her being in a global group, she seems to have a little bit more freedom than the average member in a regular kpop group. I do however have the feeling that this 'controlling nature' that a lot of kpop fans seem to have isn't far too different then a lot of Eyekons. Afterall, like 90% of eyekons are kpop fans themselves lol. submitted by /u/Due_Improvement_5699 [link] [comments]

don't get me wrong, I love LOVE songs, and IVE have those too, but I love how their songs have this "for the girls" vibe. they really make me feel like that girl (iykyk) (btw, I know IVE is not the only group with this kind of songs, I'm not downgrading them, I'm just trying to appreciate IVE :) ) ex: "So you can love me, hate me You will never be, never be, never be me Try me, I'll break free You will never be, never be, never be me" — rebel heart "I'm that, I'm that girl I'm that, what? I'm that attitude I choose my own mood, I'm that attitude Even if I stumble, luck is always on my side I'm that, I'm that girl I'm that, ooh, I'm that attitude" — attitude "Look at me, look at me, look at me now A different me from yesterday, it’s thrilling Everything I'm afraid of makes my heart flutter now I'm in sky high" — I AM "Everyone is fighting on my own I’m not scared you should also come on If we are together to anywhere we go Oh no, what?" — be alright "Sometimes I can’t even understand the looks I get It feels unfair at times but I talk about the countless versions of me created from misunderstandings All of them are ‘me’ in the end Either way, I’m good It’s all good It’s not about who’s right or wrong Just like how we all love differently" — either way sorry if the translations are not correct submitted by /u/Weary_Occasion1287 [link] [comments]

I feel so bad for him, boys planet II was his 5th survival show and he was eliminated one again. At first when I heard that he joined I thought he was gonna make it (I thought the same thing the other 3 times but still), but not this time I guess. It's also his 7th year as a trainee and even though he had a chance to debut, he wants to do it trough a survival show, which I find to be so interesting? Idk the word but that is unusual that people usually hate to go trough this, but he goes out of his way to be in one. Here is a part of his message, that I find particulary inspiring: "[...] I want to show that someone like me - who isn't especially talented, who gets criticised no matter what, who needs an hour to do, what others finished in 5 minutes, can still achive their dream. [...]" I hope he will get his chance and I'll support him in the future. submitted by /u/sacragho [link] [comments]

Basically pulling an aged old trend from the bird app where one will say "Just felt a slight breeze" while tweeting out a clip of a song. Usually a winter song almost in line with the Christmas season songs. So that's my question to you all ladies, gents and non binary friends ~ what song would you play IMMEDIATELY once the season gets colder and you feel that slight breeze in the air Personally, I have two: EXO's First Snow - it's quintessential. It's sad tunes wrapped in an almost bubblegum kpop feel and it is beyond perfect for the cold weather. There's a reason it ALWAYS climbs up the charts when December rolls in Stray Kids' Winter Falls - imagine this. It's in the early hours of dawn and you find yourself sleepless. It's cold and you feel this unshakable sense of gloom. You don't feel particularly sad and yet the cold winds weigh on you and you start reminiscing memories of the past. Winter Falls feels like that to me. It invokes a sense of nostalgia every time those guitar chords swoop in. It's like smelling a fragrance and being taken back to a memory of when you wore that scent. I love it. So those are my picks and feel free to join in on my shenanigans ~ submitted by /u/Lofijunkieee [link] [comments]

It all started in December 2024 when APT song was trending everywhere, especially on TikTok. I liked the song and was vibing to it. At first, it didn’t cause any issue, but since then TT kept showing me BP content, and I ended up binging on them. By late February 2025, I felt like I might actually be starting to like BP and in early March I felt positive that I'm into BP and somehow I didn't feel comfortable with it bc they were too popular for me to stan. (I typically stan something that no one else in town knows about, plus it's weird for me to like a Kpop group bc I'm not that guy - I used to think if you like Kpop then you have a bad taste in music) At this phase everything hit different, I started to feel uncomfortable whenever I saw anything BP related including APT song. At one point, I was at the computer with my colleague and we accidentally bump on a video about APT on Youtube, my heart started pounding and I didn't feel good so I went to the restroom to calm down, I begged 'Please get rid of this feeling I had for BP' and I really meant it. Around that time I decided to uninstall TT. Moving forwards to mid March, I went to a minimarket and saw NewJeans on a Pepero box, never heard of them before, and after going there a couple of times, things crossed my mind 'what if I check out another girl group, maybe it can distract me for BP' so I decided to start finding out about NJ, I watched lot of clips of them on X. Whenever I think about BP I quickly watch NJ videos. Anyway, since that, a lot of NJ stuff flooding my feed, and I learned they were involved in a lawsuit that I didn't really understand at that point, I was like what is Hybe? what is Ador? who is Hanni? I was so desperate to escape BP so I ate all the articles and news about NJ to distract me from BP. During that phase, a couple of times I felt like 'Nah NJ isn't for me' but I kept watching them anyway bc my knowledge about other gg was very limited. Before 2025 a Kpop gg I knew were only SNSD, BP and FiftyFifty, I remember when I was a freshman, my friend told me he likes SNSD, at that time Mr. Simple was popular, I think it was around 2011, so that was the very first time I came across Kpop. Back to topic, In early April I think I started to like NJ for real (I kept it secret ofc, I had few friends who were into kpop, if they knew I like a Kpop group I'll be embarrassed for life) and I binged watching their clips on insta and YT shorts, clips I watched were a diary-like videos. All of the sudden their lawsuit news started to make me uncomfortable, but I ignored it, so I kept eating their updates on X and a megathread, I really went down the NJ rabbit hole and Kpop in general, big mistake!. I kept binging on NJ clips all the way to May, my feeling for BP slowly fade away, I swear everything had been shifted to NJ but it's far from better. I started to feel infuriated by the drama around them, like I had my own problems and I don't need to get caught up in other people’s mess, plus the football team I support has been in the downfall era for years so I've had enough of problems. By mid-May, my feelings for NJ growing stronger but at the same time I didn’t want to get invested, I felt that was the sign I needed to stop, and I realized I was just playing with fire. I took a break from reddit and quit X for good, I decided to stay away from anything NJ related, when I went to the minimarket I tried my best not to stare at the Pepero boxes. Now, I hadn’t watched any of NJ’s clips for months. During that time I re-installed TT, since my feelings for BP had gone away I can enjoy APT again, it distracted me a bit from NJ but a few NJ related videos somehow sneaked into my fyp, I scrolled quick, I almost got heart attack whenever vt about NJ popped up. As for their music, I haven't heard much, only Ditto and a bit of Super Shy, tbh Kpop is still not my cup of tea. I listened to Ditto on repeat and I still couldn't understand why people think it's a good song, to me most Kpop songs sound similar, if you play Ditto and then you play any IVE song, and tell people that the two songs were form the same group, they'd believe you. I don't think there are any idols who have a recognizable voice. Apart from APT (if it's count as Kpop) Kpop songs which I think had quality were Cupid and Love Shot. I wasn't actually a fan of today's music in general either, there were only few songs in the last 10 years that made it into my playlist, I think Coldplay haven't made a great song since Viva La Vida. Deep inside there's still part of me who wants to explore NJ mvs and engage in Kpop community, but I know if I'm doing that there's no return for me. I wonder if Kpop industry put a spell on you, I mean, they knew human psychology well, they knew how to get you hooked and to make you like them. My knowledge about Kpop group is going to the moon this year, I somehow ended up knowing the likes of NCT, Enhypen, IVE, Kiikii, Triple S, Kepler, Meovvy, Illit, Seventeen, Kiss of Life, Gfriend, Gdragon etc, somehow a little part of me felt embarrassed for knowing all those, other part of me feels like you can’t be a fan of a Kpop group and think you’re the coolest person on earth, BUT I'm more open to Kpop songs now, if there's a banger I'll take it as a guilty pleasure. 2025 has been the year of something else, I wish I could go back to January when my life was still normal. submitted by /u/Gullible-Distance594 [link] [comments]

i think many of us have groups where we mostly listen to their title tracks rather than explore their full albums but im curious about the opposite. do you have a groups where you’re not a fan of their tts/like very few but love the b-sides? for me when i encounter a new/old group i usually just check out the tts and if i didn’t like them i only rarely check out their bsides as well (trying to change that tho) submitted by /u/Own_Measurement2767 [link] [comments]

I’m basing this on a thread I saw recently where someone was essentially repeating the same stuff about getting frustrated when people dare refer to Katseye as a K-pop group, because supposedly, the two are not related at all. I am aware I'm practically begging to get downvoted with this post, but hear me out lol. Yes, they do not sing in Korean, so I agree that it wouldn’t make sense to simply call them a K-pop group. However, that alone cannot possibly negate that the group was literally designed within the K-pop system to such an extent that some of you absolutely deny any relation to K-pop entirely. They got K-pop training within HYBE, had a Korean-style survival show, had their debut collab with a K-pop artist, appeared at KCON, the majority of their fanbase is from the K-pop community*, and have appeared on quite a few Korean TV variety shows. Not to mention that their music style is definitely in tune with the current K-pop music trends, especially Gnarly (although we all know K-pop is heavily based on a range of international styles, so that's a whole other conversation). Now, before anyone lists all the Western artists who have also done these things, in relative terms to the short period of time that they have been active, this amount of Kpop-related activities is pretty considerable. To me, they operate in the style of a K-pop group, so it's not insane to call them an international group that is K-pop adjacent. I really don’t get what's so perplexing and offensive about this to some fans; it's not like anyone is trying to reduce the group's identity into one of the many or something. If anything, it makes them extremely unique, and I am curious to see how they evolve and what impact their style can have on the global pop industry if they grow even more. --- \Obviously, I'm not gonna try and prove this statistically, but imma take an educated guess in stating this.* submitted by /u/Odd_Bison4256 [link] [comments]

[Disclaimer: the groups I'm about to list are purely for my opinions only. Please don't give any hate to them or to me, because we're all human at the end of the day...] 1) Current Underrated K-Pop Artists that I want to have for the upcoming potential season, because I was kind of glad that "Season 1" didn't go for the Big 4 route, but I hope it's not too late: Boy groups = AMPERS&ONE(OT7), P1Harmony(OT6), ZB1(OT9), xikers(OT10), NOMAD(OT5), CRAVITY(OT9), EPEX(OT8), CIX, XLOV, 8TURN(OT8), &TEAM (OT9) (With NOMAD, I mostly stanned this group, because member Junho was one of my picks during "The Origin: A, B or What". But then again, all-adult groups should really get more popular around here...) + (With EPEX, I truly hope that Keum Donghyun recovers well and returns back to the group, 😭🥺😭) Girl groups = ICHILLIN' (OT7) + CSR(OT7) (With ICHILLIN, I really hope they get the "BILLLIE clout treatment" soon, since Jeong Jiyoon and Kim Suyeon both appeared in "Girls Planet 999". In fact, I think Megan Thee Stallion would mesh really well with them too, mostly because I like their song "Siren" so much...) + (With CSR, I know they've already got their 1st win, but I also want them to get popular again...) Co-Ed groups = ALLDAY PROJECT + KARD(they most definitely deserve it!!!) 2) Big 4 group candidates, like ITZY: Girl groups = Hearts2Hearts(OT8) Boy groups = Seventeen, TXT, ENHYPEN, STRAY KIDS(OT8), NCT DREAM(OT7) 3) Other Groups I wish I could add, but I don't have enough emotional strength to do so; (I don't intend to give any of them disrespect at all): Boy groups = SF9, BAE173, OMEGA X, "ALL(H)OURS", ONEPACT, DKZ, TNX, ONEUS, YOUNITE, TEMPEST, JUST B(OT6) Girl groups = EVERGLOW + tripleS + "Baby DONT Cry"(because although I like their song "F Girl", they're still pretty young...) 4) Honourable Mentions: Boy groups = DKB(OT9), OnlyOneOf(OT7), Golden Child(OT10), TBZ(0T11/OT12), PENTAGON(OT9), ONF, WHIB(OT8), X1, UP10TION, VICTION, DRIPPIN(OT7), VERIVERY(OT7), LUN8, ASTRO Girl groups = Weki Meki(OT8), Purple Kiss(OT7), MAMAMOO, Cherry Bullet, OH MY GIRL(OT7), Lovelyz(OT8) There were some other names that I had in mind for this show, but I'm kind of advocating for the underrated groups to get their time to shine; I know it's unrealistic, but a fighting dreamer can only try... What do you guys think of this question, please...? Leave your thoughts in the comments below, ⬇️⬇️⬇️. P.S: I'll also put my extra comments for the groups I've mentioned here, because I was originally going to put screenshots for my list, but the SubReddit doesn't allow that.. submitted by /u/Routine-Badger-425 [link] [comments]
