Tired of some people holding a grudge against Twice's Chaeyoung

Hello everyone! We are excited to take a trip back in time to revisit some K-Pop classics once again, continuing with this rate, the "Early Gen 3" Girl Groups Rate! (If you haven't already, make sure to join r/kpoprates to ensure that you stay updated on future rate-related posts!) Quick Links: Ballot submission: Link to Reddit Chat to message a ballot // Ballot template (Google Docs ver.) // Ballot template (Pastebin) Playlists: Spotify // Youtube (Audio ver.) // Youtube (Lyrics ver.) // Youtube (MV ver.) Deadline: July 7th (Monday), 11:59 Pacific (Link to a timezone converter) How the songs were selected: We used the /r/kpop Top Ten Tuesdays results to grab the most adored songs from each of the artists on Reddit, and we also had a songlist feedback survey on /r/kpoprates to help decide the songlist! Now, without further ado, let's introduce the 55 songs (& 7 bonus songs) that were selected for this rate, ordered chronologically for each artist (artists were also ordered by debut date): . Spica: Russian Roulette You Don’t Love Me EXID: Every Night Up & Down Ah Yeah Hot Pink Night Rather Than Day DDD I Love You HelloVenus: Wiggle Wiggle I’m ill Mysterious Crayon Pop: Bar Bar Bar AOA: Miniskirt Short Hair Like a Cat Heart Attack Good Luck 10 Seconds Excuse Me FIESTAR: One More You’re Pitiful Ladies’ Code: Pretty Pretty Galaxy The Rain BESTie: Love Options Excuse me Mamamoo: Piano Man You’re the Best Décalcomanie Starry Night Egotistic Wind Flower Gogobebe HIP Laboum: Journey to Atlantis Hwi Hwi Lovelyz: Ah-Choo Destiny WoW! Now, We That Day Sonamoo: Friday Night GFriend: Me Gustas Tu Rough Navillera Fingertip Time For The Moon Night Apple Mago Brave Girls: Deepened Rollin’ We Ride Chi Mat Ba Ram After We Ride . Bonus Rate: The bonus rate is basically an extension of the main rate! There were several songs that received high praise during the songlist feedback survey that still were barely not able to make the main rate, so we have put them into the bonus rate here to give them a chance to be rated. . EXID - Lady HelloVenus - Venus Crayon Pop - FM Fiestar - Mirror Ladies’ Code - Bad Girl Laboum - Between Us GFriend - Labyrinth . The Bonus Rate is optional and you do not have to submit a score for every song in the bonus list if you do it: you can score none of them, all of them, or any number in between. You cannot give a 0 or 11 to any song in the bonus, as they are not part of the main rate. While it is optional, we hope you consider participating. Spotify playlist YouTube playlist (MV version) YouTube playlist (Audio version) YouTube playlist (Lyrics version) Rules: You must listen to and assign a score to EVERY song listed. If your ballot is missing any scores it will not be eligible and you'll be sent a message asking you to fill in the missing scores. Each song should be assigned a score between 1 to 10. Decimals up to one point are allowed but any further is a no-no – 6.9 is fine, but 6.99 is not. You can use ONE 0 and ONE 11 for the entirety of the rate, for your least favorite and most favorite song respectively - they are optional but HIGHLY encouraged if you feel some type of way about any given song! Comments are also encouraged but not required for such scores (except if you give a song a 0). Comments are encouraged and much appreciated (but not required, except for if you give a 0) and can be added to any song by simply typing after the numerical score, like so: Hip: 2.4 Ofc the title track that utilizes Mamamoo's vocal power the least ends up becoming the most popular (yells angrily at cloud) This is the ONLY correct way to format a comment. Please do not include colons (ex. 9: I stan!), dashes (ex. 3.3 - This song sucks), or any other symbol after your score/before your comment as it breaks the program. You can also give comments for individual artists! Just write your comment after the :, such as the following: EXID: Are they pronounced like "exit" or are you supposed to say every letter separately? I'll never know For this rate and most future rates, we have a ballot average minimum of 4.00. In addition, if your ballot average is between 4.00-5.50, you must leave comments on your lower scores (which we define as any score that's a 3 or lower). {Do not worry about having to calculate your ballot average, once you submit your ballot, we will tell you if you need to make changes to your ballot for it to be accepted.} SUBMITTING A BALLOT: * Link to Reddit Chat to message a ballot As Reddit is (unfortunately) moving away from the private messaging system in favor of utilizing the Reddit chat system, we are forced to also adopt the Reddit chat system for messaging. You can make a copy of either the Google Docs or Pastebin ballot templates below, add your scores on your local copy/file, and send the link to your local copy/file in your Reddit Chat message to u/KpopRates_Ghost. * Google Docs ballot template * Pastebin ballot template Google spreadsheet template that you can use to calculate averages, record scores, and make predictions Alternatively, if you have Discord, you can message the link to your ballot to both the rate hosts, @Zypker124 and @aidshha. You can also submit the top/bottom 5 prediction form at any time. DUE DATE: Monday, July 7th, by 11:59 PM Pacific - This will be the FINAL deadline, no extensions will be given this time! (Here is a link to a time zone converter for the deadline.)

This megathread is about the ongoing dispute within HYBE and the management of sub-label ADOR. Substantial news developments may be posted to the subreddit (outside of the Megathreads). Moderators will only approve posts that focus on statements by relevant parties, official representatives, or legal authorities. Unofficial commentary, fandom activities, speculation, or blind items will not be acceptable. Articles or translations should ideally be presented as neutrally as possible.

Articles / Timeline 250422 This day marks one year since HYBE launched their audit of Min Hee Jin and ADOR's management. Happy(?) 1st anniversary of the Megathreads! 250502 The 3rd hearing for Min Hee Jin vs. Belift Lab was set to take place but postponed to July 18th at Belift Lab's request. Each side is due to present their arguments/documents regarding plagiarism issues at the next meeting. (Source: Maeil Kyungjae) 250530 We learned that ADOR had filed for 'indirect enforcement' after their injunction was granted and NewJeans performed at ComplexCon back in March (Filed on April 4th according to the statement from NewJeans' representatives linked below). On the 30th, the 52nd Division of the Seoul Central District court further granted this request. The 'indirect enforcement' ruling means that each individual member of NewJeans will be fined 1 billion won (approx. $725,000) if they continue with entertainment activities independent of ADOR, which would be in violation of the injunction. This enforcement with potential fines does NOT apply to any of NewJeans' independent activities between the granting of the injunction and the granting of this 'indirect enforcement'. These fines will only apply to future activities going forward, or at least until rulings with NewJeans' appeal or the main contract validity case changes anything (next hearing on June 5th). (Source: Chosun Biz, MK Sports) The Korea Herald: Court orders NewJeans to pay Ador 1 billion won for each unauthorized activity Discussion Post Korea JoongAng Daily: Court orders NewJeans members to pay ADOR $725,600 for every independent entertainment activity A statement by NewJeans' representatives was made later in the day primarily acknowledging the indirect enforcement ruling, but reiterating that it is temporary and will no longer have an effect if NewJeans win their appeal of the injunction. (Source: Ilgan Sports) The 2nd hearing for Source Music's damages lawsuit against Min Hee Jin took place at the 12th Civil Affairs Division of the Seoul Western District Court. (Quick recap: 1st was January 10th, 2nd was previously scheduled for March 14th, postponed per Source Music's request). Legal representatives were present. Source Music had a 20-minute presentation prepared, but Min Hee Jin's representatives objected to the inclusion of KakaoTalk messages in the presentation. They claimed the messages were illegally obtained and requested the hearing to be closed/private. Source Music denied the messages were obtained illegally, claiming they were gained from company devices with consent. The court went with a temporary compromise to keep the hearing public, but not allow discussion/display of the messages until they were reviewed again. A special hearing to review the messages will take place June 27th. (Source: Sports Today) 250605 The Seoul Central District Court Division 41 held the second hearing for ADOR seeking confirmation of validity for their exclusive contract with NewJeans. Only legal representatives were in attendance. NewJeans' side primarily argued that ADOR had not met their obligations and that their evidence they were preparing to support NewJeans' activities, like finding a new producer, was inadequate. ADOR's side argued that NewJeans' reasons for allegedly terminating their contract continually changed, indicating they are arbitrary and being made up with retroactive hindsight. The issue of some evidence being collected illegally also came up again from NewJeans' side. Judge Jung Hoe-Il specifically inquired if both/either sides were willing to come to an agreement, encouraging them to do so. NewJeans' representatives strongly indicated this was unlikely as the trust in ADOR had completely collapsed. ADOR's representatives indicated they could see negotiating an agreement once the court comes to a final decision. The 3rd hearing was set for July 24th. (Sources: X Sport News, Maeil Kyungjae) 250612 The next hearing regarding the Shareholder Agreement termination and exercising put/call options lawsuits between HYBE and Min Hee Jin was held at the Seoul Central District Court's 31st Division. Arguments from each side mostly re-tread what we've already covered. HYBE's side argued they were justified in ending the shareholder agreement due to the threat Min Hee Jin posed to the company. Min Hee Hin's side argued the timing of the audit/termination did not align purely with that concern and that some KakaoTalk messages and emails were obtained illegally and not admissable as evidence. HYBE also indicated they had a witness to give testimony at the next meeting, which the court accepted. The next hearing with closing arguments, was set for September 11th for both lawsuits. (Sources: Maeil Kyungjae, TV Daily, Sports Today) 250617 Following up from April 16th when NewJeans appealed the court's decision to uphold the injunction and halt on their independent activities, the Seoul High Court reaffirmed the earlier decision. The court rejected NewJeans' appeal. They determined there was no significant change in the material/arguments presented for the appeal and the original decision to grant ADOR's injunction was justified. There was further clarification that the management conflict between HYBE and Min Hee Jin, and her no longer being NewJeans' producer, did not constitute a valid argument for the alleged collapse of trust between ADOR and NewJeans. The group's withdrawal from ADOR is considered arbitrary, that their artistic freedom or activity is not impeded since they are able to do so within their exclusive contract, and that any damages resulting from attempting independent activities are self-inflicted.

Ew trump. I do not support any misogynistic, white nationalist, incel, hitler-like (esp. Musk), racists at all and neither does this sub and apparently neither does reddit as a site as a whole. He stands against everything Kpop stands for which is an art form from a formerly colonized people from a country that is rising up against colonialism and hatred. Anyone who comments anything negative to this, or tries to defend that orange guy will be banned permanently. Go somewhere else, we don't want your lower kind here.

I like covers in general, regardless of ggs or bgs, but this category specifically gotta be one of my favorite things about Kpop. Some of my top performances are: BEAST Fiction cover by ITZY Ryujin, STAYC Isa, i-dle Minnie, IZ*ONE Chaeyeon EXO Love Shot cover by Le Sserafim (Kazuha legit changed lives in that red suit) Taemin Move cover by TWICE Momo, Mina, Chaeyoung, Dahyun Stray Kids Thunderous cover by NMIXX Honorable mentions: Taemin Criminal cover by IZ*ONE Chaeyeon (it's actually criminal that it only lasted 1min) Mamamoo Boy Group Songs Medley What are some of your favorite covers? submitted by /u/beelzebub2099 [link] [comments]

We know it’s never gonna happen (unless we get pandemic 2.0) so let’s play delulu and make our own dream line-up anyway. I would LOVE to see the following groups on Kingdom: Got7 - 3rd gen rep Enhypen and Treasure - very different from each other. The song swaps will go hard MonstaX Boynextdoor Cravity - they won road to kingdom. They should get to be here submitted by /u/fostermonster555 [link] [comments]

When will people realize that Bangchan doesn’t play about stray kids. He’s already gone off in a live last month about respect, so I don’t understand why people still choose to try him. Man when I tell you I like this man more and more each day. Today around midnight pst, Chan posted on bubble saying: “stay_central get your facts straight. Don’t spread misinformation thanks 😊” “Eh I’m not mad lol” “Just tryna fix things” “Anyways it was Hans birthday and it’s Felix’s now” “Go give em lots of love!” “Huh?” “You’re not going to because you’re my solo Stan…?” “Then don’t bother stanning me lol” “Diabolical lol” “Oh now I’m getting kinda mad” I love this!! There has never been a place for akgaes in the kpop community and it’s amazing to have an idol actually put them on blast. I don’t know if someone actually sent him a reply saying that or if he had seen what was going on on Twitter and set up a way to bring up, but either way I’m glad he said something about it. And stay_central was found to be a YouTube account that posts live translations and reels about stray kids. Typical brainrot “info” vids you see when scrolling. I’m not sure which soecific video Chan was calling out, but I assume it’s the one that talks about hyunjin almost joining a cult. The craziest part is that the channel was liking comment a talking tish about Chan. Chan came back around 6 hours later and said this: “I’m really grateful that some people shower me with lots of love…” “But let’s not hate on the other members…” “That’s all I ask for…” “They saved me and I’m blessed to have them after all… ㅠ” “Ey and don’t go hating on the YouTube channel I mentioned earlier either” “In the end we all lack something and we’re all learning no? INCLUDING ME” “Tbh I’m the one that makes the most mistakes no? Hahahaha” “I should be the one doing better… sigh…” “Sorry for being so imperfect…” Then he started talking about cameras and pictures, but anyways I’m glad he spoke up and said something. I hope he didn’t get in any trouble over this and that akgaes will just fully unstan after this. We don’t need them submitted by /u/CleanPossibility256 [link] [comments]

This gotta be one of my favorite things about Kpop. Some of my top performances by female idols covering male songs/choreos are: EXO Love Shot cover by Le Sserafim (Kazuha legit changed lives in that red suit) BEAST Fiction cover by ITZY Ryujin, STAYC Isa, i-dle Minnie, IZ*ONE Chaeyeon Taemin Move cover by TWICE Momo, Mina, Chaeyoung, Dahyun Stray Kids Thunderous cover by NMIXX Taemin Criminal cover by IZ*ONE Chaeyeon (it's literally criminal for KBS to only give her 1min) What are some of your favorite covers? submitted by /u/beelzebub2099 [link] [comments]

What i mean by that is a song that got bad reception from fans or general Public when it was first released because it was so polarizing but after it got performed people started to changed their minds about the song and finally liked it. I think Gnarly by katseye is the prime example of this that's why i said gnarly treatment. Is there any songs by any groups that got that treatment?? submitted by /u/Party-Confection417 [link] [comments]

So Verivery posted happy birthday for Minchan on Instagram today and I'm really happy but also so confused. Is this the longest hiatus of any idol? Minchan is one of my ults and I miss him like crazy but I started to figure it was a long shot to hope he would ever come back. But then they posted that. Idk, am I crazy for holding on to hope that he will one day come back to Verivery? And if he doesn't want to or it isn't good for his mental health, that's okay too, I just wish we could know either way. 🥹 submitted by /u/Marps95 [link] [comments]

Came across a video on bilibili (sort of Youtube in China) saying Chinese fans are the most miserable because most Kpop idols can't tour in mainland CN. Similar sentiments can be heard from SEA, South American, African, Australasia and some Europe fans. I don't think it has anything with the idols/ companies "ignore" or "skip" any countries, they don't because they obviously can't. Logistics: not every major city has the necessary infrastructure to accommodate the influx of thousands of concert-goers, the stage set and equipments. Transport, schedule, personel, legal issues, all of these require insane amount of planning and coordinating with local promoter and venues. Venues: nobody can just wake up one day and book a random venue, it has to be booked several months before hand. Sometimes people complain about the size of the venues (too big, too small) but appropriate venues are sometimes booked by local sport teams already. Profit: let's face it touring is expensive, if the demand isn't met once investors tend to get cold feet. Tour promoter taking a chunk out of the revenue isn't helping either. Personally, i don't want my ult group to visit my country because of the profound lack of infrastructure. I understand that it hurts, but that's another thing we have to accept at the end of the day. submitted by /u/lu_tl97 [link] [comments]

You know that innocent but chaotic stage when you first fall into K-pop? Let’s expose our baby stan delusions together 😂 We’ve all been there, scrolling YouTube at 2am, watching random edits, believing every wild thing without questioning it and suddenly you think you know everything about idols and the industry. Then months (or years) later you look back like “Wow, I was so delusional 😭” I feel like every K-pop fan has gone through this clown phase, and honestly, it’s one of the most fun parts of the journey. Those silly beliefs we once held now make the best stories to laugh about. And let’s be real, baby stans have some of the most creative imaginations out there 😂 So tell me, what are the funniest or weirdest things you used to believe when you were new to K-pop? Spill your baby stan confessions below, let’s make a thread full of nostalgia and collective clownery~🩷 submitted by /u/LunaVixen7 [link] [comments]
