So, for context, I made a post on r/kpoppers appreciating Yoongi, and someone made a comment which was uh... less than tasteful. I bring it up on a few posts talking about snarkers, because, right after random comments got downvoted simply acknowledging his artistry. Said person got a little defensive and argued with me for an hour about how I was being "Creepily Parasocial" for apparently acknowledging Yoongi's music, his philanthropy and how I related to him? Funnily enough, I got a DM this morning telling me what they said was ENTIRELY different. Guys, AITA for saying Glucose Oppar should've been acknowledged for something other than scandal? God, the horror. Anyways, this post was made to give context: I find the whole situation hilarious, honestly. I'm not gonna argue with anyone: just needed to give context LOL. submitted by /u/Calm-Comfortable2659 [link] [comments]

I'm talking about every mainstream group who will get hate for any little stupid thing. AND NO, I'm not talking about constructive criticism. Hating on someone for losing weight, than hating for gaining it or the way they eat, perform or even breath at some point. And I'm ready to discuss with every person who thinks those Snark subs and awful Instagram/Twitter threads are made ONLY by kids and teenagers. Please, let's be for real. Even worse, hating someone because they're not helping the rest of the world like wtf. Do you expect people who depend on Visas to save the war? What? This is not their fcking job, goddamn. I hope Companies make sure their artists know that: The more famous you are, the more you'll get hate for the most ridiculous things. Like wasn't that dude from ALLDAY PROJECT getting hate for saying he's not gay? Curb your expectations, kpoppers 🤪 Yes, that's the propaganda K-Pop companies have so we can be obsessed over them. Their job is to make us obsessed with them. But honestly, this is not making any sense to me. Everything seems to be something to discuss, why? submitted by /u/0110I1I [link] [comments]

Sometimes I like to think about why certain groups never became as popular as they could have. For non–Big 4 groups, the obvious hurdle is usually being from a smaller/nugu company. But even in those cases, if managed well, you can still maximize a group’s potential and reach a fairly sustainable level of popularity. One group I often think about is SF9. They had so much potential, but a lot of things went wrong along the way. Here are a few reasons I personally think held them back: Age gap dynamic – With Inseong (’92) and Chani (’00) in the same lineup, the age spread didn’t create the kind of boy group “dynamic” that usually clicks with fans. Unless a group is formed on a survival show, I think this type of age gap doesn’t really appeal as much. FNC’s focus on Rowoon – It often felt like the group existed so the company could push Rowoon (and maybe one other member) as actors. That shift in focus made it seem like the group wasn’t the priority. Visual harmony – This might sound unusual, but the extreme height differences between members made the group look a bit mismatched on stage. There was no cohesive “visual balance,” which actually matters a lot in idol group appeal. On top of that, FNC relied on outdated promotion strategies, which didn’t help in an already competitive 3rd gen/early 4th gen landscape. For me, SF9 had so much raw talent, but the group dynamic never fully came together. Personally, I think they might have been stronger as a 5-member lineup (Taeyang, Hwiyoung, Chani, Youngbin, Dawon). The others didn’t necessarily ruin the group, but they also didn’t add much to its overall synergy in terms of visuals and balance. I used to be a fan until around 2020, when Rowoon’s presence started to feel more detached. Group dynamic is one of the most important factors for me (and I think for a lot of fans) when it comes to stanning, and unfortunately SF9’s always felt off. submitted by /u/Over_Length_440 [link] [comments]

I know it's a driving point of the industry and that companies adore parasocial fans since they garner so much engagement and give so much money; But even amongst these subreddits I see a ton of parasocial posts and whenever it gets called out people dogpile and claim it's "hate". I saw a post on another subreddit practically worshiping an idol and claiming that he "deserves all the praise after all that people put him through last year" The thing they're referring to that he was "put through" was people holding him accountable for drunk driving on the sidewalk of his apartment... I said to them: "Why does he deserve it? “Especially after last year” when you mean he drove drunk on the sidewalk of his apartment… Why are you praising him like he’s a child? This whole post sounds incredibly parasocial." Now they're on multiple subreddits claiming I was hating on them... They praised a grown man like he was their baby or like they knew him, it's creepy and unhealthy. It's parasocial. How is calling unhealthy behavior out "hateful"? And people seriously act like him being held accountable for drunk driving is just "people hating on him"... People really need to stop worshiping famous people and acting like they're your friends; And hold them accountable for their wrongdoings and in this case, crimes... Friendly reminder that these idols don't know you or care about you. submitted by /u/Asleep-Cook1229 [link] [comments]

I'm typing this a little after listening to the Cerulean Verge Album Highlight Medley. The album seems to be pop rock leaning, which really suits Wendy imo. It also seems to be the kind of music she enjoys and will be perfect in concerts with a live band. However, i hope the songs have more drama and theatrics involved, since she really excels at expressing both. 'The Road' is one of my favourite songs she's ever released - it always makes me visualise her singing on the stage in an empty, dark, echo-ey theatre, desperately reaching out and trying to find a path. It's emotional, raw and beautiful. An alternative rock or gothic metal leaning song like Evanescence's Bring Me to Life would be PERFECT for Wendy's powerful voice and will finally allow her to go all out. Similarly, a gothic ballad like My Immortal (again by Evanescence) would be absolutely haunting and beautiful with Wendy's expertly crafted vocal delivery. It will stand out from the rest of the industry sonically and vocally and will be a proper departure from Red velvet's sound (although they've alluded to more "horror" / f(x)-like songs in the past, Psycho would probably be the closest to this sound conceptually). Anyway, this was just my take on the kind of sound Wendy should try in the future. I am excited for her first comeback as a soloist under ASND! They seem to be doing well so far for a small and new agency. submitted by /u/zylcasea [link] [comments]

Recently, I saw 4 groups live. Twice & katseye in lollapalooza and Blackpink & le sserafim at their concert. After seeing all 4 of them, I can confidently say that Katseye is different from your average kpop group. The energy they had on stage was electrifying. I love blackpink's songs so I was excited for the concert but except for lisa, the rest were very inconsistent. Even for Lisa, she is not a good singer, so she was struggling a bit in her solos and was relying too much on backtrack. I have heard people say that le sserafim are great performers, but I didn't feel this way from their Newark concert. I think the performance was not bad but compared to katseye, it was VERY MID. They were singing live for most of it but there was very little energy. The stage set up was lazy and there were no backup dancers. For twice, I felt like some members' mics were too low. Some were giving their 100 and some were barely putting any energy. Overall I think it was just average and not that once in a lifetime kinda experience. If yall think I am being biased, Just compare the fancams of katseye's lollapalooza performance to the fancams of all the other groups I mentioned and you will see a clear difference. Also I don't hate any of these groups and I tried to be as unbiased as possible while seeing their performances. submitted by /u/Odd_Entertainer9554 [link] [comments]
