We all moved on from the blacpink n word controvery way too fast .

I just watched IZNA's new single "BEEP," and I'm genuinely happy with their direction right now. The single release itself is still a bit odd; I wonder if we'll get an EP with "SIGN" on it. Nobody knows, but I'm definitely curious. My biggest relief, though, is how they've managed to avoid that YGESQUE look. With all the talk about TheBlackLabel's upcoming co-ed group, Alldayproject, it just made me even more relieved that IZNA didn't go for that "All my bad unnies, all my hood unnies" vibe or whatever Babymonster is doing. It's clear that while WakeOne handles their schedules and promotions, the creative direction, music, and styling are all thanks to TheBlackLabel, specifically VVN as the creative director. A huge shout-out to her for creating "SIGN"—that song truly blessed my ears. Teddy was also credited on "BEEP," and honestly, that dramatic YG-style ending totally clicked when I realized it was him. But it really feels like VVN's vision is protecting them from falling into any overly familiar or problematic patterns. I'm so incredibly happy with the careful and intentional choices being made for their image. This glossy, pink crush, luxury sound they have is totally my style, and I absolutely can't wait to see them push their sound even further. It really seems like we're going to see them explore a lot of different directions, and in VVN, we trust for this group's future. submitted by /u/Agile_Track_1933 [link] [comments]

MOMO can you please sitdown 😩 submitted by /u/BrixGaming [link] [comments]

Hi everyone👋. It’s been quite a while since I made this post, so I’m back again. I'll go first. For context, my ults are TXT, BTS, and BND. MOA = TXT fandom ARMY = BTS fandom Onedoor = BND fandom I'm not too involved in ARMY spaces, BUT I do know that we’re this close🤏 to BTS returning from the military, and I am so excited! I remember watching FESTA in 2022 and feeling all sorts of ways (I was crying mess💔). I remember all of their enlistment announcements, and 2025 seemed like such a long time... but here we are! Maybe more ARMYs can update us about what’s been going on in the fandom. For MOAs, things have been going really well! To begin with, TXT released an OST "When the Day Comes" for the K-drama Resident Playbook, and it was really successful. It has currently become their most stable song on the K-charts and, with the way it's going, it will soon be their longest-charting/best perfoming song. (It’s been a month since it was released, and it's still Top 35 on all the daily charts!) The members have said they have a lot prepared for MOAs this year, and it shows! MOAs have been well fed with content and news these past few weeks, from their recent performance at their first university festival, to solo ambassadorships and events for some members, to group ambassadorships, and so many more. Today we got the news confirming the release of a full album in mid-July, and we'll be getting a new logo reveal any time soon! Everyone is so excited and hyped! For Onedoors, it’s been wonderful too. BND recently wrapped up the promotions for their mini-album No Genre, and it was a successful comeback by all metrics (streams, charting, sales, etc.). As usual with comeback season, Onedoors have been well fed with tons of content, and the members have also been active on Weverse. They also recently celebrated their 2nd anniversary, and it was wonderful. As someone who has been there since the first announcement was made, it’s surreal to see how far they’ve come. I never imagined that I would come to love this group so much. How about y’all? What’s happening in your respective fandoms? submitted by /u/ilovemeeeeee [link] [comments]

They were my favourite girl group ever. Now I just feel a total lack of excitement towards their content. I am just as disappointed in their handling of the fallout. I have never been so disappointed in a K-pop group's actions. All I can hope is that they do better in the future. But for now, I am keeping my distance. Surely there's someone out there that was a bigger fan of the girls and their music than I was? submitted by /u/Ruler_J [link] [comments]

So I read comments under this post and omfg… Calls him himself Tarzzan (attention, with an extra z), since he’s a “wild jungle boy” Wears fake tan Curly hair perm He follows Tony Lanez (the man who went to jail for shooting Megan Thee Stallion Wears box braids, cornrows on the daily As well as grills, iced jewels, (don’t come and tell me it doesn’t belong to any culture, you know exactly what I mean.) Uses AAVE Like to take pictures with chicken and waffles.. hmm I’m sure we’re gonna see watermelon soon. *Dont even look at his Instagram… terrifying. He’s fully Korean btw don’t trust the people saying he’s part black. Well well well… Not surprising coming from the BLACK label or YG but I was excited for mixed group like KARD with Bailey, Trainee A and more than anyone Youngseo but I THINK I will be skipping on this group. Keep defending them and have fun either way ig. submitted by /u/Necessary_Middle4616 [link] [comments]

Nostalgia is strange because what do you mean kpop stans are really saying they miss vlive and fancafe? Vlive was always on the brink of extinction. Their initial popularity for airing run bts didn’t wasn’t good enough to keep all the services up because the app wasn’t making enough profit when all the groups started to join. When kakao decided to end the app, Hybe bought it. After few years, they decided to get rid of it eventually because an app can’t thrive based on nostalgia. Vlive also wasn’t fully free. It also never provided sub for international fans. It kept all the concerts under paywall. Fancafe is a good option IF YOU ARE KOREAN or speak Korean. Fancafe was the opposite of user friendly. You need to learn Korean to navigate all the option or get access to higher level where you’ll actually get contents from your favs. Fancafe is still open. If an idol or company wants to, they can still use it. But they don’t. Present day idols often do interaction, including live shows after payment. Fans are now complaining why they can’t watch or interact without paying. But there are also idols who interact via free services. Weverse has both paid and free access, some idols intentionally choose paid option for extra earning and that’s ok. Fans and bubble apps have paid contents only, but a lot of these idols chooses to interact with fans via social media apps that is accessible by everyone. Some big idols even still use fancafe despite being on other fan community apps. The concept of monetized fanservice is very old. It’s what keeps the artists paid. It’s not an evil new thing that has been recently invented. There’s a reason why mostly gom managers and rich stans can afford to attend fan meetings, videos calls and events. You may say streaming numbers or album sales don’t matter, but it does . It is especially important for nugu groups who are depending on monetized support to find a break in their career. Your idols’ salary isn’t provided by the discourse on Reddit or social media apps or views on short formed videos. submitted by /u/Gisntd [link] [comments]

I'm not one to bring such downer thoughts, since a new tour announcement should always bring hype and excitement, but I can't help but think that both Twice and Blackpink's upcoming tours spanning 2025 into 2026 will be their final extensive tours before they either go on indefinite hiatus or outright disband. And yes, while these groups have beaten the disbandment allegations before, it's also important to note that they only signed shorter three-year contracts instead of the usual five year extensions. It's been an echoed sentiment that Blackpink's Deadline tour feels rushed. No comeback announcement yet, no definite clue whether it's a single, an EP, or album, and YG was already hyping up their return months up to a year while the members were still promoting their solo work. Perhaps its written into those contracts they signed, but at this point, it's clear that the members really have put their individual color with their post YG-releases. Their names are also starting to split from the K-pop branding associated with the group (except for maybe Jisoo, but she has an entirely different career trajectory unlike the others who are focused on being international singers). The only thing likely keeping them from actually splitting off YG is the group's name and identity, which is the only thing that company has left. On the other hand, Twice are different; they feel glued to the hip. It seems like they can't go a day without being together. Still, they've also begun slowly carving out their own individual careers after so long, with Nayeon, Jihyo, and Tzuyu having solo releases, Dahyun's acting career, Jeongyeon's variety show, and MiSaMo being their own popular subunit in Japan. It's commendable that they're still this active even 10 years into their career, producing content and having semi-frequent comebacks like they're still in 2018-2019. These two tours are shaping up to be their biggest yet. Twice with their unique stage setup and being produced under Moment Factory, Tzuyu finally getting a homecoming performance in Taiwan, and they've only announced Asia/Oceania. Blackpink will see the quartet fresh off their post-YG releases, which have met varying degrees of international success. It really does seem like this is a last hurrah for both groups before they go on an indefinite hiatus or split for good. This is me trying to cope with the fact they announced Asia dates so soon, taking place in late 2025 and performing like 40 days apart here, so it's looking unlikely I won't be able to see them live, and perhaps never will. I'd love to be proven wrong and see them go on tour again in 2-3 years time (as is the pattern), but you never know. submitted by /u/tobi_obito [link] [comments]
