What are the K-pop "archetypes" that you see in every group?

I just came across a tweet that wished Jisoo gets raped. I don’t even know how this became acceptable, but it needs to stop. I get disliking an idol, maybe an idol isn’t your cup of tea and that’s fine, but wishing them to get raped, beaten, killed, assaulted or whatever else is ABHORRENT AND DISGUSTING. Everyone in that fandom needs to hold their own accountable instead of dismissing them as a solo or “not a real fandom member.” Rant over. submitted by /u/CosmicCuriosity04 [link] [comments]

You can comment any pairing that is your favorite or that you think fits the best. If you have a scenario that you also want written feel free to comment that too. submitted by /u/LowerAd6505 [link] [comments]

Before going to my first concert, I also thought that taking too many videos would ruin the experience. But then I realised that for me, it’s often the opposite. In this post I’m just sharing my own personal experience, which obviously won’t apply to everyone. Some people enjoy concerts more by taking fewer videos/photos and some enjoy them more by taking many. Both are completely valid. Personally, when I went to my first concert, I thought that taking fewer videos would help me “live in the moment” better like many people say. So overall, I only recorded 3-4 videos of different performances, and just one of them was a full performance while the others were short clips. I didn’t even take any photos because it didn’t cross my mind at the time. Well, I ended up regretting not taking more videos and photos. The next day, besides having the usual post concert depression, I felt a little sad because even though I knew rationally that I had been there, my mind couldn’t actually remember almost anything, it felt blurry, It’s hard to explain, I was there but I was so overstimulated that I didn’t live the moment. All my memories are mostly from videos that I saw of other people online, I don’t really remember things from my pov. The few videos I had did help me remember a bit, but when I saw the videos that other people had taken, I realised how many moments I had completely forgotten. I think this is also related to my ADHD. For those who don’t know, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, memory, and processing. For me, it means that when I’m really overstimulated (like at a concert), it becomes harder to store memories properly, so videos/photos can help me “keep” those moments. Now, I’m not saying I’ll film every single performance in full at my next concert, of course not. But I’ll definitely take way more videos and photos. I guess I just wanted to say that not everyone who takes lots of videos and photos isn’t enjoying the moment. For some of us, that’s actually how we remember the moment best. (Then there are people that only make videos/photos for online content, personally I don’t, I mostly keep them for myself.) So please try not to judge people or assume things about them. If you personally enjoy concerts more by not recording or by taking only a few clips, that’s great! I’m not saying this should apply to everyone. submitted by /u/ForceApprehensive597 [link] [comments]

So I saw a clip of one of Keeho’s lives he had done talking about pcs, talking the pics, and generally talking to fans about it, a fan asked him to guess how many pcs they have and he said “idk like 12”, then one person said like 300+ of just him and he was lowkey judging harddddd. I collect pcs & albums and stuff and it’s always been in the back of my mind that like it lowkey weird to collect pictures of people like that but like idkkk. I know it’s a main culture if K-pop but ykkkk submitted by /u/Amberlily1 [link] [comments]

You probably haven't noticed because YG gave it zero promotion but Lee Chanhyuk of Akmu dropped his album Eros and it's an electro funk quirky masterpiece. Every song makes you want to dance and makes you think. The groovy synths and unique rhythms hit on every track with lyrics that make you contemplate love and life. It's like being at a rave for the broken hearted. If you haven't listened to this album do yourself a favor and put this thing on repeat. submitted by /u/Moon_Man56 [link] [comments]

[prefacing this by saying i haven’t been as much of a fan of anything else as i have of kpop] i’ve been realising how different the kpop industry is from what other musicians in other countries / genres do and i feel like it’s what maintains this strong sense of community for fans. for one, and the most obvious, kpop albums aren’t just cds or records with a cover sleeve. i haven’t been able to explain to non-kpop fans why we all collect albums (when we don’t use the cd or meticulously display each album), but it’s mostly due to the fact that we get all these cute bits and pieces like posters, photocards, a photobook and other related inclusions. some may argue it’s encouraging consumerism, others might say it’s worth it if it makes us happy. i’m just noticing it’s different and connects kpop fans to what it’s like to truly enjoy something (i can’t explain it, just the feeling of being excited about unboxing something and supporting your idols). comeback promotions — music shows, reality tv, fansigns, dance collaborations [yes i’m aware musicians in the u.s. and u.k. also promote their music through ads, billboards, interviews, etc.] the concept of the weekly music award shows are so fun where fans get multiple recordings of performances with different outfits, stage concepts and ending fairy poses for a group’s new song/s. also the little dance collabs with other kpop artists after said performances is so wholesome and it’s always exciting to see interactions between some of your favourite groups, especially those that you least expect. getting to meet your idols, have your albums signed by them and having the opportunity to ask about the project is such a great way to engage your audience with your music but also give thanks and appreciate those who support you. lightsticks self explanatory, just adorable. it’s like a sort of identification card also to bring your lightstick somewhere and let people know who you support. fansites good and bad. taking photos of a celebrity at events / in public is common however with kpop this has somehow become a career for people. while i think fansite behaviour can be a bit creepy and concerning, we do get extremely beautiful photos of kpop idols from it. if there’s anything else i’ve missed feel free to drop it off here but essentially just an appreciation post for the kpop fan experience because i don’t know of any other feeling as of late that has been better than collecting kpop merch, staying up late for comebacks / music video releases, going crazy over photos or livestreams, panicking about concert tickets or fansign lottery processes submitted by /u/seigfried0401 [link] [comments]

As the title states, currently the top two songs in GLOBAL Spotify had Teddy in the credits. Looking back he has had made kpop HITS for almost 3 decades now and reaching higher success right now with other groups in his label as well. He started his career 1998, had a major hit (definitely one the first kpop song I heard) with bigbang debut and all of 2NE1 discography, and then a bigger global level in blackpink and now with the kpop demon hunter movie soundtrack. Curious has any other producer gotten this sort of longevity in the business. Like its not even just international, his groups are killing it in domestic chart as well. In some way he seems like to be the only producer who knows what music audiences in different level, ages and places want. submitted by /u/EffectiveBit417 [link] [comments]

I was listening to the new ifeye release, and they do a bunch of name dropping in their lyrics because it sounds like "if I", and I love stuff like that. TWICE does it plenty, it's pretty easy to do with that name, and I love love when WOOAH does it. Are there any other groups that do this kinda thing? I'm sure IVE could, but I don't think i listen to enough IVE to know if they actually do submitted by /u/WhoaShenanigans [link] [comments]

I preface this by saying that my ult group is Billlie, and both groups are under Mystic Story, so i withheld my comments for the most part on the first couple releases because I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me wanted them to be great for the sake of being the "younger brothers" of my ults. They just released an EP today called HOPE, and once again, every song on it is straight gas 🔥 I loved every song they'd released before it, but i really was trying to temper my expectations and my biases, but damn... they haven't missed at all in my book, not once. If you haven't listened to any ARrC, please go check some of their songs out, the quality is qualitying 🤌 submitted by /u/WhoaShenanigans [link] [comments]
