As said by the title. I’m bias shopping. Sell me your bias like they’re a car/house/appliance. Sales pitch must include their name and group. I’ll go first! Oh you’re in the market for a leader? Well let me introducing you to BangChan from Stray Kids. Manufactured in Australia but he went through a rigorous quality check and testing in Korean. He might only be FOIVE years old but he was training for 7 years before hitting the sales floor. He’s a great producer too so if you need a new song whipped up he’ll get that done for you. He comes in a few different hair colors, including blue and red! Our current model is shown in black hair. Comes with default wolf software, and if you buy today you can get an automatic upgrade to the Kangaroo high jump expansion pack! Yes he’s the one that has 7 kids with him. It does come as a package deal but you get a great discount! Oh, as for care, please ensure that you do not put any pineapples in his food. submitted by /u/Qilincreations [link] [comments]

I’ve often seen posts about how messy BLACKPINK’s fandom is, to the point where the solo stans of each member are constantly fighting with one another. And I’ve just realized that this all stems from how YG Entertainment built their fanbase. They promoted BLACKPINK as four individuals under one group, rather than as a truly united group. From the start, each member had a different image. Jisoo was the elegant Korean visual. Jennie was the stylish rapper. Rosé was the blonde main vocalist. Lisa was the main dancer and rapper with the bangs. Even their voices sound very different from one another. YG also gave more attention to their solo activities. Even before their solo contracts ended, the company was already pushing each member with their own brand deals, sponsorships, and solo projects. There have been many times when the members had more solo activities than group comebacks. To be fair, this strategy worked remarkably well. By marketing each member to different demographics and aesthetics, BLACKPINK captured a vast and diverse audience. It also helped the girls build their own image and brand, which is why they can market themselves well even now. But because of this setup, the fandom has unfortunately been divided. And honestly, that could’ve been YG’s plan all along. submitted by /u/why_dmn [link] [comments]

In kpop groups, each member fulfills a purpose, besides the obvious categories, vocals, rap, dance and performance, there are those for marketing reasons, visuals, variety content, who are expectedly, less skilled. I believe talent is acknowledged within the kpop fandom, but some talented individuals may be more popular than the most talented because they are visually appealing. submitted by /u/Full-Amoeba5171 [link] [comments]

For those who are unaware, TXT will be coming back with a new album on the 21st of July, with the title track Beautiful Strangers, and BIGHIT has been doing quite a number of impressive things to promote the album ahead of its release. Among them includes the release of a two-episode mystery-drama-suspense variety show titled Hello Strangers (see Episode 1 & 2 here), which, according to BIGHIT, is a show that depicts the struggles of boys who have left their safe haven as they confront past conflicts and crises. It was planned based on the narrative of their upcoming album. At the end of Episode Two, there was a breaking news segment saying, "Planet Strangers has left its orbit and is falling towards South Korea." They also created a countdown website that is interactive and makes it seem like you're monitoring the Earth and using coordinates and signals to find something. The website updated to start pointing location coordinates to a place near Gangnam Station. MOAs weren't sure what it was until about two days ago, when some MOAs noticed an ongoing construction of what seemed to be a rocket-like spaceship thingy, with a banner covering it but the outline showing the date of TXT's comeback. Today, BIGHIT finally posted a picture of the now-completed structure along with the caption "Strange Object spotted in Gangnam." They also shared the info that a light signal from the object will be activated every night from 9 PM to 10 PM KST from today until the 21st. A special light stick sync performance will also take place on the 19th and 20th, and MOAs can go there with their light sticks to catch the signal. Like, the is genuinely sooooo cool and i love that they seem to be going all out for TXT this comeback! I hope they keep up the good work and i hope this comeback will be successful for TXT🙏 submitted by /u/ilovemeeeeee [link] [comments]

I had this when I recently watched the MV of BTTF from NCT Dream, when I heard the chorus I was kinda hyped up until the “we gon return the time” part. For me that ruined the whole chorus and made it feel empty when something else would’ve made it much better, if you get what I mean. I also kinda had this at Stuck in the middle from Babymonster (without Ahyeon), the song is cool but I feel like Ruka’s part where the beat comes in, as well as Pharita’s high notes at the end of the song didn’t match the vibe of the song overall. I want to know if anyone feels the same about my statements above, or at least understand where I’m coming from. Pls let me know. And if anyone else have the same feeling for another song they also feel like some part ruines the song or makes you dislike it. submitted by /u/Far-Suggestion-6878 [link] [comments]

Mistreatment: to treat a person badly, cruelly, or unfairly. When a member of a kpop group frequently gets the least lines or screentime in a title track, their stans will immediately resort to mistreatment when none has actively been shown at all. Lines and screentime involve more than equality, it involves the concept, the members’ tones, their skills, and most commonly, the marketing. I’m tired of stans overreacting when a member doesn’t get the amount they think he/she deserves, especially when the members himself/herself isn’t vocally strong or a rapper in the group, why should he/she get more than others when skill wise, he/she is already lacking? submitted by /u/Full-Amoeba5171 [link] [comments]
