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]

Lately I've seen more people hating on snark subs, and I don’t get it. These subs have been around forever, not just in kpop but in every fandom space. They're not some new trend people have always wanted a place where they can be blunt without getting attacked for it. There's literally a subreddit for everything on reddit, even for stuff way more controversial than Kpop opinions. Nobody is out here trying to shut those down. So why suddenly this weird gatekeeping against snark subs? And , most people in snark subs aren't just random haters they're usually ex fans. They know the group, the music, the fandom culture, and that's why their criticisms often come off more fair and informed. Snark subs give people a safe place because in main fandom spaces, you can’t really criticize an idol or fandom behavior without getting dogpiled. On snark subs, you can say what you think without worrying about backlash. It’s not for everyone, but for a lot of people it’s refreshing. At the end , if you don't like them, you don't need to join them. Their existence doesn't hurt the main fandom spaces at all. They're just a space for people who don’t want to live in the "everything is perfect" echo chamber all the time. Snark subs will never disappear; they've always existed and will continue to do so , if you don't like it maybe reddit isn't for you ? submitted by /u/Unfair_Cod_8637 [link] [comments]

These are some of my absolute favourite Kpop songs :) Honestly like 90% of them are girl groups, sorry lmao- submitted by /u/Yvmeno [link] [comments]

In the How It’s Done MV, Rumi jumps out the plane on same side as Wonyoung in I Am. They can fly. The plane is already ripped open. Why are they jumping through a door 🤔 ? This is looks like an intentional reference. Also, note that Rumi’s reaches both her arms out in a motion that ‘mirrors’ what Wonyoung does. (But they invert things by having her jump out backwards, and it is night instead of day.) They deliberately have the Zoey and Mira NOT extending their arms to the side (2nd slide). I think having only Rumi do this emphasizes that this is a conscious creative decision. It’s not an accident that this MV has details similar to I Am. Ofc people recognized sonic echoes of I Am in Golden. There’s a hint in Golden’s MV: when Mira stands on top of the plane (3rd slide), it’s like the shots of Ive dancing on a giant plane wing. Another shot in the MV thumbnail (from a separate movie scene), you can see all of Huntrix standing on a plane as we see Ive. Placing the visual reference (How It’s Done) in a different MV than the sonic reference (Golden) seems like a test. Most people heard the I Am in Golden, but they didn’t see it in How It’s Done. It’s less obvious than putting more plane scenes in Golden. I also think that the kind of superhuman fantasy that Ive embodies in I Am is a kind of inspiration for Huntrix and their scene in How It’s Done. The movie expands on I Am’s idea of idols being beyond human, able to jump out of a plane and fly, or dance unbothered on a plane wing. This puts in context the production similarity to Golden. Reference to I Am might have come from the movie (director) side if it’s so embedded in the animation. Maybe the Business Proposal reference is the way we’re mean to look at this? submitted by /u/hyeran_jainros_fc [link] [comments]

Hey everyone! I’m the developer behind Kpopidle, a daily Kpop game. I don’t want to spam the sub too much so this will probably be my last post here, but I wanted to share the site one more time in case anyone missed it earlier. It’s a little project I’ve been working on for fellow K-pop fans, and I’d love for you to check it out and let me know what you think. I made more improvements since my last post and added more groups!! I hope you guys enjoy it! submitted by /u/Chemical-Craft-9264 [link] [comments]

Just go with your personal fav voices, no need to be concerned with technical skill, i think that’s another discussion 😄 Absolute fave: Pentagon’s Wooseok. I have a thing for melodic rappers, and Wooseok’s warm and full voice perfectly scratches that itch for me. I just LOVE how he expertly toes the line between singing and rapping in an intentional and controlled manner, such as in: Daisy, Baby I Love You, Happiness, and DO or NOT. Wonstein - another highly melodic voice who mixes singing and rapping. Just a gorgeous and unique tone. And he never feels overstated or like he’s trying too hard, just in complete control. SVT Vernon. Underrated. His rapping voice is so pleasing to listen to, and his speaking parts particularly stand out (e.g. “Yo coups here’s the baton man” - Ah Yeah) For female rappers - Moonbyul - love her somewhat deep, nonchalant tone. She exudes coolness. Same goes for Lee Young Ji, she just sounds so strong and confident. I dig Hyuna’s raspy nasally tone. She sounds really badass. submitted by /u/Lilac-Soul [link] [comments]

I wrote a book that has a vampire plot but it also highlights issues in the kpop industry (especially the 2nd one I am going to make next year in February) The first one highlights only a few but the second one will defo have lots in it.

Han Jisung - skz Jihyo - twice Niki - enhypen Chaewon - Le Sserafim Woojin - Soloist Wonyoung - ive Kyujin - nmixx Winter - aespa Yeonjun - TxT Minho - skz Ryujin - itzy Do you want me to spoil the characters that will be in the 2nd one too?

NO IT’S NOT ABOUT SUPERM OR ANY OTHER GROUP SPECIFICALLY “Nor its a competition between your fav idols!” Just a fun game where I give my avengers if they were from KPOP and why. So, here’s the list (and it’s an OPINION) ——————————————————-———— Captain America (Steve Rogers) → RM (BTS): principled leader who carries the team with heart. Iron Man (Tony Stark) → G-Dragon (BIGBANG): flashy genius and bold trendsetter with unmatched charisma. Thor → Taeyong (NCT): otherworldly presence and lightning energy on stage. Hulk (Bruce Banner) → Chanyeol (EXO): gentle giant with brains and brawn. Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff) → Jennie (BLACKPINK): mysterious, sharp, and effortlessly cool. Hawkeye (Clint Barton) → DK (SEVENTEEN): loyal, steady, precise and funny with a warm core. Spider-Man (Peter Parker) → Mark (NCT): witty, youthful, and do I need to say anything even? Black Panther (T’Challa) → San (ATEEZ): regal, royalty on stage, and powerful with quiet dignity. Doctor Strange → Taemin (SHINee): mystical, unpredictable, and hypnotic in artistry. Ant-Man (Scott Lang) → Jungkook (BTS): playful, lovable, silly with the right amount of seriousness. Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) → Hwasa (MAMAMOO): bold, fearless, and unapologetically powerful. Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) → Rosé (BLACKPINK): emotional but strong witted, ethereal, and quietly unstoppable. Shang-Chi → Bang Chan (Stray Kids): humble leader with discipline and fighting spirit. Kate Bishop → Karina (aespa): sleek, ambitious, and confident beyond her years. Yelena Belova → Ryujin (ITZY): sarcastic, rebellious, and effortlessly cool. Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) → Hanni (NewJeans): bubbly, bright, and full of youthful wonder. Falcon / New Captain America (Sam Wilson) → Hongjoong (ATEEZ): principled, outspoken, and driven by justice. Thanos → T.O.P (BIGBANG): towering presence with intimidating charisma, (come-on now). Ultron → Taecyeon (2PM): calm, calculating, and chillingly precise. Loki → Key (SHINee): mischievous trickster with sharp wit and hidden heart. Hela → CL (2NE1): fierce queen energy with dominance and elegance. Winter Soldier (Bucky Barnes) → Minho (SHINee): stoic, loyal, and quietly strong. Star-Lord (Peter Quill) → Jackson Wang (GOT7): adventurous, cocky, and irresistibly fun. Gamora → Lisa (BLACKPINK): fierce warrior with elegance and loyalty. Drax → Shownu (MONSTA X): straightforward powerhouse with unintentional humor. Rocket → Han (Stray Kids): sharp, witty, and small but mighty. Groot → Soobin (TXT): tall, gentle, and pure-hearted. Mantis → IU: soft, empathic, and emotionally grounding. Nebula → Yeji (ITZY): fiery, complex, and strong-willed with hidden vulnerability. ———————————————————— So, this is a funny thought came into my mind today, “What if Kpop made Avengers with the staple characters of the series?” Hence, this. Do share your list if you can. submitted by /u/Daddy1007a [link] [comments]

I wanna talk to Jongseob (P1H) but heard mixed opinions on it and need more information before paying for it. I don’t wanna waste money on something that’s not what’s advertised or whatever. (sorry Seob😭) to people who have it and talk with him, is it worth it? Lmk submitted by /u/FinnaginW [link] [comments]

In recent years of K-pop, we’ve seen more and more tracks being made with a large number of producers and writers involved. Nowadays, it’s common for a song to have six, seven, or eight composers, and in an extreme case, Illit’s Do the Dance had 18 credited contributors. Some might argue that having more people on a project can lead to a more refined track, while others may say it risks losing cohesiveness. What are your thoughts? Do you prefer the current trend of many producers collaborating on a song, or do you think fewer contributors make for a stronger result? submitted by /u/Organic-Cranberry955 [link] [comments]

I was listening to Big Bang and remembered they were the ones who got me into K-pop. Actually, when Gangnam Style became popular, K-pop was very niche, and thanks to Psy, K-pop started to open up a bit more. I think it was because of Psy that I looked for K-pop songs that I like and that caught my attention, and they were Big Bang. I got into K-pop in 2015. I was never a VIP, but I adore Big Bang, and my biggest crushes were always TOP and GD. Every time I watch Big Bang's stage performances, I love how free TOP and GD are. If they did that today's idols, they'd surely get a lot of hate. Another thing I discovered was that, as an Inuyasha fan, I really loved the opening and ending songs, and BoA, who had done songs for Inuyasha, was a Korean idol. Orange Caramel was my first girl group that I liked. My favorite groups: Beast/Highlight, Infinite, Exid, BtoB, Exo, Got7, Monsta X, Mamamoo, Red Velvet, GFriend, NCT, Astro, A.C.E, Wanna One, Everglow, Ab6ix, X1. Then I love AoA, Sistar, 9Muses, WekiMeki, SNSD, T-Ara, miss A, Lovelyz, A-Pink, Kara, Twice, April, Loona, Iz*one, Aespa, IVE, 2PM, ONF, JBJ, Ateez, SF9, The Boyz, Winner, Oneus, NU'EST, SHINee, Victon, KNK, Super M, SVT... submitted by /u/Separate-Comedian-25 [link] [comments]

I have been in and out of the Kpop fandom. I was a huge girl group fan in 2018-2020 and just recently got back into it this year. I have noticed a significant change in the way groups do things, which was to be expected. Im not trying to start gender wars or anything but it’s so obvious what you guys care about in boy groups and what you guys care about in girl groups. 1) ‘visuals’ is a must in girl groups always, I’m going name a list of things that people care about in girl groups. Looks, their weight, height, if they fit Korean beauty standards, and if they give off that ‘youthful and cute look’. To be honest girl groups songs aren’t great. They used to be, but now it’s just you guys care more about how they look and what outfits they wear than their actual job which is singing and dancing. Majority of Girl groups dances have become over simplistic especially paired with songs that don’t make any sense. It’s actually annoying and now people wonder and ask why some people only Stan boy groups. 2) The ‘concepts’ in girl groups are so lacking and it’s the same few concepts we have been using for decades. It’s the same ‘cute girl’ concept which I don’t have a problem with but it’s way too much almost every group does it, especially when you can tell some members would prefer to do other concepts. That ‘baddie/I’m a boss’ which again I don’t have a problem with, it’s not the concepts its just how every girl group that debuts doesn’t try to put their own twist on to it and people get annoyed when you can’t tell one group from another. Im not saying that there aren’t girl groups with other unique concepts but I’m just saying you guys will make the same boring concepts popular. Im surprised no one is tired of it yet. 3) the ‘music’ now this probably goes for boy groups as well but the same romance concept. Always singing about some ‘high school girl crush’ thats all pink and glittery. It pisses me off. Music is something you make your own not what other people want. Im not sure why but it’s not common for girls to groups to compose/write their own lyrics. (I said it is not common not saying girl groups don’t do it.) Theres plenty boy groups that i could name that write/compose their groups music. Im not going to sit here and say that boy group don’t sing about romance, or aren’t guilty of having bad songs or dances but as i say the concept/theme isn’t the problem it’s how it is presented. Im not also going to sit here and give boy groups all the love but i will say that boy groups tend (not saying that some boy groups aren’t ass) to have meaningful songs and great concepts and dances. it’s just girl group stans can’t even name five songs that they like from their ult group because all they care is about how they present themselves. If they’re attractive you guys don’t give a rats ass if the girl group can song or dance. But for boy groups regardless of looks if they cant sing or dance you guys mercilessly hate on the group. Im so tired of these divided expectations when we are all listening to the same genre of music. It’s ridiculous. This is just what i think anyway after being on both sides (of liking girl groups and boy groups.) submitted by /u/Top-Cod4129 [link] [comments]

Skz's Ceremony performance is amazing. The energy of the song and the boys is so flowing and makes me want to dance 💃🏻🕺🏻 submitted by /u/Turiturita [link] [comments]
