Tried swapping IVE Wonyoung’s hair with Chaewon’s — didn’t expect it to fit so well 😭

For me, it’s Kwon Eun Bi. First of all, she’s really pretty and has such a nice personality. I’ve seen her in plenty of variety shows, and she’s always so likeable. She’s not only beautiful but also incredibly talented. She can sing and dance really well. Even back in her IZ*ONE days, she showed great potential, she even wrote the song Spaceship for their first album. Since then, she’s been consistently releasing albums and contributing to Korean drama OSTs. She’s one of my favorite soloists! It pains me that people only know her because of her Waterbomb fancams, when there’s so much more to appreciate about her. submitted by /u/_berrystrawberry [link] [comments]

I see a lot of videos online about an Event, the W Event.The recent W Korea charity event, “Love Your W,” has received massive backlash especially the k-pop idol guests, any thoughts about this? submitted by /u/BothAlps5245 [link] [comments]

this is not hate directed towards any kpop idol, this is my opinion and i am open for any discussions about the topic. there are many groups that are more performance based and some which are more vocally focused, there are a good handful that are excellent at both. if your fav group is a strong performance group, it’s okay to admit that they aren’t vocally the best, i see a lot of posts overly praising some vocals of idols that are objectively mediocre and more shouting than singing and are attacking constructive criticism. for example, i’m a huge itzy fan ever since debut, i went to their concert before and they’ve established that they are a performance centred group very early on in their career. i can admit that their vocals aren’t the best, lia is great but the overall group’s skills aren’t top top tier. they’re on pitch but their technique needs some development and it’s okay to admit that. why? because they are performance centred and their stages are great! same goes for le sserafim, i think it has been obvious that vocals aren’t their strong suit. however, their stages are fun to watch and their concerts seem hype. it is OKAY to admit that they’re not GOOD singers, they’re good PERFORMERS but not necessarily singers. chaewon id say is the strongest vocalist within the group, with yunjin being next but she’s been straining a lot recently i’ve noticed. kazuha and sakura have a hard time finding the pitch and eunchae’s technique needs consistent improvement. this isn’t HATE, this is an observation. posting videos about their live performances with captions like “le sserafim proving everyone wrong and vocally eating up everyone’s favs” just cringes me out so much because you can be a supportive fan without bringing others down and over hyping their vocals. that’s just going to bring more hate towards the group you support. just saw a lot of posts attacking everyone who gave out criticism, you don’t have to blindly praise your idols because every group has their own specialty. submitted by /u/Odd_Nefariousness912 [link] [comments]

Honestly ive always thought that the kpop fanbase globally has so much untapped potential like if it was truly united it could be a force the likes of which the world simply hasn't seen before. and i think a big issue behind this is the culture of kpop fan social media right now. we're scattered acorss a bunch of sites twitter, reddit, instagram ect., this comes with other issues like forced integration with locals (which i understand could be a good thing too) we're often pitted against one another like the amount of fanwars is kinda insane when we really all share a deep rooted love for the music and art of kpop and the big one, its reached a point (at least from my pov) where its very easy to feel like an outsider looking in on ur own fanbase. like on most social media platforms theres really just a handfull of big fan accounts and thats it and unless ur one of them ur a consumer not a contributer. So what if there was a social media app just for us? Is this a good idea or am i delusional??? submitted by /u/Suju_DS [link] [comments]

So I was listening to Dua Lipa and Adele’s Live at the Royal Albert Hall concert album and it got me thinking — what K-pop songs do you think would absolutely eat in that kind of setting? Like, full orchestra, grand lighting, fancy vibes, the whole deal. Which songs would sound incredible with orchestral arrangements, and which idols or groups do you think have the stage presence and songs to pull it off? Could be dramatic ballads, powerful anthems, or even songs you’d love to hear in a completely new orchestral version. Curious what everyone thinks! submitted by /u/No_Background9179 [link] [comments]

Hey guys — before I start, I just want to say that I’m in no way hating on Wonyoung or trying to spread misinformation. This is just an observation I’ve made! As we know, many K-pop idols are friends with each other within the industry (Jennie × Irene, Taehyung and various actors, 97-line, etc.). But Wonyoung doesn’t seem to have many. The only idols I’ve ever seen her interact with are the members in IVE, and celebrities she’s worked with in the past (like Sunghoon and Chaemin). Wonyoung often attends schedules alone — Fashion Week, brand events, parties — so I understand why she may not be able to interact with many idols publicly. I’ve only ever seen her interact with older individuals with whom she seems more comfortable with. I believe Wonyoung’s MBTI starts with an “E” (extroverted), and seeing her on variety shows, I can see that — so you’d think she would have lots of friends. But it doesn’t really seem that way. At the recent W cancer awareness event (awful event btw), there was a clip of Wonyoung vibing to music next to Karina and Yujin, and I thought, *“Oh — they’re all dancing together like they’re friends.” Then, a few seconds later Karina and Yujin move forward and start chatting with each other, and Wonyoung stays in her spot dancing alone — maybe because she isn’t close to Karina like Yujin is and because wonyoung and Yujin are from the same group Wonyoung was probably sticking with her. In another clip, you can see Wonyoung standing alone awkwardly in the middle of the room, looking around as though unsure where to go. I also saw a clip of Yujin, Chaewon, and Yuri having fun together (Wonyoung wasn’t there), and I thought: Yujin seems to have more friends and people to hang with compared to Wonyoung — even though Yujin, Wonyoung, Yuri, and Chaewon were all in the same group (IZONE) at one point. I don’t know she just seems to barely interact with other idols or people her age - not that she has to. You often see kpop idols post pictures with other idols but wonyoung I have barely seen unless it’s a group photo or something. When asked who was her idol friends outside of her group (or IZ*ONE) she answered with a much older woman that does variety shows … But she doesn’t seem to have similar age friends at all. But yeah guys that’s all I have to say let me know your thoughts ! submitted by /u/Blissypie [link] [comments]

A recent post about the song which got fans into K-pop made me wonder, how many fans stan or at least still follow the group/artist that got them into K-pop? Personally, although I knew about K-pop through BTS and Blackpink before, I’ve stanned the group that truly got me into it(Stray Kids) since day one and haven’t strayed far :) Still, I wanted to know how many people are in the same picture, or why not if you don’t stan your introductory group? submitted by /u/Separate_Price_3726 [link] [comments]

Ugly here doesn't really mean ugly, it's more along the lines of "not perfectly pretty according to Korean beauty standards." It seems kinda harsh to say but all the members looking perfectly pretty does more harm than good to the group for three key reasons. the group has a lot of members so they really needed to do something to stand out from each other if there was more variance in the attractiveness of the members there would be more stans for the prettiest member and many people "pity stanning" the less attractive members. the girls are very hard to discern. I don't know the difference between them or what makes them stand out. Vocally they all seem in the same range as well so we can't really tell them apart based on their music either. I guess what I'm really saying here is less "they need members that are less attractive" and more "they need members that look more unique". submitted by /u/Zealousideal-Gold849 [link] [comments]

- except for that one time Yiren and Aisha weren't present for a random performance anyways And wow! I had an idea of how things were gonna go but they're such professionals that you wouldn't guess they'd just lost 2 members, especially a main vocal. This user has kindly recorded and uploaded all the performances. These include: Dun Dun, Adios, La Di Da, Bon Bon Chocolat, Pirate and even some bsides: Company & Make Me Feel. Praise time: The new formations + choreo looks flawless, as if they'd always been performing the songs this way and the members really stepped up vocally, especially Onda. I was half expecting her to just get Yirens lines as she already performed them during Yirens hiatus but nope, she's taken on the majority of Mias vocal parts instead, including some highnotes + adlibs which is quite the feat! Sihyeon too of course has stepped up majorly, being the groups vocal backbone now and sounds amazing as always! It's great they're not hiding away from performing any of their more vocally challenging songs either, they're obviously up for the task! I'd also like to point out how great it is to hear E:U's voice more! She's gone from barely appearing on most of their songs to being pretty prominent throughout them now, especially Adios & La Di Da. She has such a unique raspy voice and I hope this is a sign we'll get some decently long E:U raps going forward! And let's not forget Aishabella! She's slotted right in rapping and singing more than ever, really highlighting her deeper airy tone which is so damn pretty and let's not forget how quickly she steals all the attention on stage- It's also just really nice seeing all 4 of the members shining so equally, which as we all know was a big issue previously in the 6 person lineup. I still had a few doubts about whether this 4 person lineup would work but this has me completely sold! I'm so excited for their first comeback! To end off with I just want to note that I do really miss Mia & Yiren and wish the girls could've all stuck together but I'm happy for Mia choosing her own path and Yiren too (if it's actually what she's chosen and isn't being forced anyways). submitted by /u/WondersomeWalrus [link] [comments]
