With how well the KPH soundtrack is charting on the hot 100, and with KATSEYE success into the mainstream (not super huge but def worth mentioning) I can’t help feel that the states are still not willing to accept Asians in music lol Like Golden is I AM by IVE repackaged? This isn’t to say that the soundtrack isn’t good, it’s excellent, and so is the movie, but why is it that only through a fictional lense could the states finally get a kpop song to go mainstream? It’s kind of aggravating idk I wanted to see real humans get this win submitted by /u/yunababies [link] [comments]

i'm interested in where we're at now... If you don't know him, please say that too~ I'm a Melody from the States, and I'm aware how location/upbringing can shape opinions. Wanted to hear y'alls feels/thoughts here (as I saw someone post in BTOB subreddit with a similar bkg as me)! Thank y'alls <3 submitted by /u/lemongator [link] [comments]

I need to get this off my chest because, maybe it’s embarrassing to say, but it’s really been weighing on me. I found my way to the kpop world around 2018-19 and especially with the pandemic, I grew deeply attached to some groups and have became a huge part of my life. I literally met my current partner through online fandoms. But my recent experience at our last concert left me feeling, disheartened. I guess I’ll preface saying that I’ve been going to live music shows since I was a literal baby, I was raised in a home that encouraged passionate connection with musical artists and live experiences. As an adult I’ve worked through much of my social anxieties and found live shows to be experiences I can fully give and receive the passion I find in the artist, music, and community. It’s not an environment to hide or hold back (within respectful reason obviously). I went to one kpop show in 2023 that meant the world to me, I took a friend who wasn’t familiar with the artist, but was so incredibly supportive and engaged and happy to make the experience everything I dreamed. But I recently went to a different group’s show with my partner and I can’t help but feel like things were so off. I love the group, my partner specifically is extremely attached to them, and I was so excited to see them together. The group was fantastic, the performance everything I hoped for, but, the crowd. What is going on with the crowd. I was singing my heart out, jumping, dancing, (again, while respecting the space of others around me, just enjoying the passion of it all) but I very quickly starting feeling so insecure. Because I couldn’t see even one other person reacting the same. The majority of the crowd was either focused on taking pictures and videos on their phones, or gently swaying their light sticks and standing nearly still. No energy, no collective experience of watching such incredible performers live. It felt like one of those dreams where you realize you forgot your clothes in a crowd of people. I held myself back at some point because I just felt obnoxious for simply enjoying what I was literally there to enjoy. It’s made me so upset considering how much I looked forward to that experience. I more recently went to a show of a western artist, bigger in the 2000s with a passionate fan base. The crowd brought a complete opposite energy that I’ve grown such a love for. Strangers making friends, singing as passionately as you felt, dancing without caring who’s looking. Because that’s what we’re all there for. So.. what’s the deal? I’m so sad because my partner and their friends who were there seemed surprised with my experience and seemed confused. Am I just getting old? Is this just the culture of kpop shows? submitted by /u/DepthHistorical4996 [link] [comments]

Maybe not everyone will like this song, but it's so comforting listen. The piano, JeHwi soft voice, the violin, the orchestra playing. This song is incredibly beautiful. submitted by /u/Separate-Comedian-25 [link] [comments]

I honestly feel like Starship has done their best for them. promo-wise, they’ve been on plenty of content, and their comeback concept-wise or aesthetically been high-quality and have been praised a lot. Also they’re have good amount of brand deals and consistently rank at the top of girl group brand reputation for months, higher than other 5th gen GGs. I can understand that their album performance is underwhelming. Maybe it’s because the vibe was so different from I Do Me overall. But this time i personally thought ‘Dancing Alone’ was great and expected it to do well, but it didn’t really take off. I think Starship really is pushing them, but their growth feels slow and songs underperform. What do you guys think is missing from KiiiKiii? submitted by /u/Difficult_Bit_3025 [link] [comments]

A bit of yapping here, but long story short, I had disagreements with my fandom and got banned from their server. So has anyone ever had to deal with bad K-pop fandoms? Context: I began listening to T-ara around 5 months ago, and for a long time, I had no way to connect with fans of the group. It felt like I could only enjoy the music myself, and it was lonely. That was until I decided to join a server for T-ara fans. Most people there seemed friendly and I was glad I finally had T-ara enjoyers to connect with. While it made me more comfortable with liking K-pop as a whole, it took some time before I ran into problems with people on the server. Over time, I noticed that when I brought up ideas that challenged the mainstream of the server, discussions often became tense, and I felt less comfortable sharing my thoughts. After many disagreements, I eventually negotiated for a channel to voice my thoughts. While most people were cool after that was made, the owner of the server was not. Even after the channel was made, I always felt singled out by the owner. The final straw came when I got expelled from the T-ara server with no warning. I don’t remember breaking any rules, I only remembered writing a long review and giving a 3/5 rating. While joining the biggest T-ara server on Discord did help me feel more comfortable with liking K-pop, the atmosphere there felt aloof and confrontational that eventually led to my expulsion. submitted by /u/Mountain-You9842 [link] [comments]

I believe sexualization has gone down since 2nd and 3rd Gen. Back then it was less overt. Want to hear what everyone thinks. 😁 submitted by /u/JaySwizzle1984 [link] [comments]
