This was so hilarious to me, I've never seen Wonyoung make that face b4!

they be the most hateful people to ever exist yet every time there is a death of an idol or celebrity , its “THE KOREANS” “KNETZ SO TOXIC” “WE COULD NEVER” The lengths they’ll take to justify their disgusting and shitty behavior towards new jeans is even more disturbing. i mean, i know most of them are like 12-16 year old kids who revolve their entire life around hating on idols but I just dont ever wanna hear ANY OF THEM talk shit on knetz ever again.

Right now KPop is very much like soccer. Everyone plays the whole game, and does a different role, but has to contribute to every aspect when needed. However, if they followed football instead, just like offense defense and special teams, they could have different squads for each role. Why have a god tier vocalist spend time dancing? Why have a great dancer spend time making the music? There would be a lineup that makes the songs, and a lineup that does the performances. (If anyone has any idea good idea for "special teams" equivalent lmk) The entire group can still do variety shows together, it'd just be more made up of specialized idols. To be clear this might not end up better and probably would not, but I think it's an interesting concept that's worth a try. Curious if anyone has done this. submitted by /u/SpecSlayerSC [link] [comments]

I understand if some people dont wanna “support” them anymore but what’s their intention behind wanting a group to get blacklisted? 💀 Sounds unnecessary and just weird submitted by /u/Which_Mammoth9402 [link] [comments]

I’m very curious to why this is. They debuted in the same year, and yet twice is often referred to as a “legacy group” (hell I’ve even called them that myself), but I’ve never seen anyone refer to seventeen as a legacy group. And it’s not because twice is inactive and become unpopular or anything; they’re still releasing at the pace they always have, their tours are among the biggest in kpop and they were just on the demon hunters soundtrack. So it’s not like they get called that because they’ve slowed down or anything (if anything they’re more active than the majority of 3rd gen groups). I’m very curious what you think makes a “legacy group” and why twice is considered one and other groups from their era aren’t. submitted by /u/radio_mice [link] [comments]

engenes… I just read the ENHYPEN WORLD game story and wow… it’s legendary. looks like they’re taking on some villain with a vampire concept… I was actually touched. they really know the fan mindset so well… and the fact they’re going all-in on the vampire lore, so thankful… feels like the devs must be engenes too. just imagining Sunoo and Heeseung in vampire concept already got my heart racing //ෆ ｡ ෆ wish it were Sept 15 already so I could pre-reg T_T counting down the days… https://x.com/ENHYPENWORLD_X/status/1966064182035702206 https://preview.redd.it/kauwbvocamof1.jpg?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f1f653f757bc552c7a20f2b0d64cdeaa31c9919 submitted by /u/WashDowntown4539 [link] [comments]

I've been a ReVeluv since Ice Cream Cake came out but I've never listened to their discography in full because there I was overwhelmed at how huge it was; but recently I finally listened to their discography in chronological order Korean and Japanese releases.

I've lately been discovering through some notable patterns in my music this year that rnb is in fact my favourite genre. I do know a good handful of songs from nct, baekhyun, but I wanted more So I went on Spotify and found a playlist of rnb songs in kpop and started listening. Safe to say that this trio were the majority of the playlists. The songs guyss 😭😭😩😩😩😩-insane!!!!!!!! Imagine having discographies so timeless that your songs keep resonating years after💃😍. The ones that made it in my playlist on first listen Red velvet: -Perfect 10 -Something kinda crazy -Automatic -La Rouge Exo -What is love- This one is so good😩 -24/7 -Touch it Shinee -Kiss kiss-the vocals😍😩😩 -Rescue -Code -1 of 1 -Married to the music My playlist is happy💃💃💃, and so am I...Perfect 10 is an absolute 10😩😩😍 These three groups deserve all the hype😭😩. I'm glad I'm locked in and mind you exo is coming back soon,ooouuuu I'm excited💃💃 submitted by /u/Muted_Bodybuilder109 [link] [comments]

I want to start by saying I was actually excited about Katseye in the beginning. They had a lot of hype, and I thought maybe this could be something fresh. But over time, the more I see, the more uneasy I feel —not because I “hate” them, but because I liked them at first and now I feel like the whole project has shifted into something that feels… off. Here are some of the things that bother me: Excessive marketing & propaganda vibes: The constant push through ads, influencers, and celebrities feels way too calculated. It doesn’t feel organic at all almost like we’re being told to like them rather than naturally discovering them. Music that even they don’t seem to love: The songs don’t feel authentic or tailored to the members. They often come across as satire/meme-like, almost rage-bait designed to get people talking for the wrong reasons. Even the group themselves seemed unsure in the beginning, almost expecting to flop, and then suddenly there was this huge switch with all the promotion. That felt very strange. Styling issues: Their looks and styling feel disconnected and sometimes forced. Instead of elevating their image, it often feels like they’re being used as mannequins for concepts that don’t suit them. Queerbaiting & overly political packaging: There’s this constant undertone of baiting queerbaiting, political messaging, identity marketing that feels less about genuine representation and more about leveraging these things for attention. It makes the group feel more like a product than artists. Ads everywhere: The amount of Katseye ads is overwhelming. The GAP one was great classy, clean, effective but then it just became too much. Instead of flooding us with overproduced campaigns, I wish they had gone the route of partnering each member with a different brand. That way people could get to know each member’s personality and individuality, instead of just pushing “Katseye” as this monolith. Marketing feels fake: I’m sorry, but it does. I prefer artists who build a foundation with their fans, who let their style and music grow naturally. Right now it feels like Katseye is being treated like influencers thrown together in a group, not musicians trying to carve out their own lane. Reality show baggage: Yes, the girls went through a lot during training, and I respect their resilience. But let’s be real a lot of people would kill for the same opportunity, and reality TV is always edited to portray some people as better than others. That’s just how it works, and it makes the narrative around them feel even more manufactured. Over-sexualization: This one bothers me a lot. They were first marketed toward kids/younger audiences, then almost overnight the styling and presentation became overly sexualized. It’s jarring and feels like they’re being pushed into extremes for attention rather than developing a consistent image. The music: I can’t sugarcoat it the songs just aren’t good. They feel like satire/meme tracks or rage-bait, designed to go viral for the wrong reasons. And I get the sense that even the members don’t fully love what they’re performing. The bigger picture: Everything about this feels like bait queerbaiting, political undertones, viral marketing instead of artistry. And that sucks because the girls themselves are clearly talented. I still like Katseye because of their potential, but I wish their journey was more organic. They deserve to grow as a real group, not as a product of marketing experiments. And that’s what really frustrates me. Because I do think the members themselves are talented, hardworking, and deserve better than being put in this kind of position. I feel like they’re being packaged in a way that doesn’t reflect them, and instead just uses them as bait to stir controversy and keep attention. I’m curious if others feel this way too. Did you also like them at first but then start noticing all these red flags? Or do you see this as just normal marketing in today’s industry? submitted by /u/LogComplete5617 [link] [comments]

And all the many more to come... Props to @minariiedits for putting this together 🙌 submitted by /u/beelzebub2099 [link] [comments]

I often see people posting clips from fansigns/videocalls where they'll ask the idol some variation of "How would you feel if I went to see another idol instead of you?" and they usually come back with the preloaded fanservice-y jealous response. Do they want you as their fan and does it make them happy you like them? Most likely. I don't think this part is an unpopular view. But the "Jealousy is a disease" response by fans to their answer is so parasocial. submitted by /u/trivialfrost [link] [comments]

I'm not a seasoned kpop fan, as in I've only witnessed in real time the award shows from the past 3-4 years, but I've gone back to watch older award shows from 2nd and 3rd gen and early 4th gen and honestly... they were more entertaining for the most part, even though some of them were on a smaller scale than current ones. It could be because I wasn't there to witness them first-hand so they were more interesting for me to analyze but I still feel like it's not just that. They just felt more lively to me, there was more happening... you could see idols' reactions a lot more frequently, memes, audiance reactions, idols' interactions, even fandoms being competitive and trying to out-scream each other kind of gave it a bit more of an entertaining element even though I don't support fanwars. But all those things combined definitely increased the thrill of watching a show for me IMO. I feel like it falls on the shows' producers too, like maybe in the past they were better at highlighting these things? It's a bit strange too because a lot of our faves interact all the time on tiktok videos/challenges and have fun together but I feel like during award shows they are a lot more subdued? I don't know, I feel like older shows had a bit more of a charm to them. So on that topic, what are some things you wish to see more often during award shows and what are some new things you wish award shows would incorporate? submitted by /u/silveraes [link] [comments]
