What are the worst promotional strategies you've seen?

I know this has been happening for quite a few years now but this year has been ridiculous when it comes to the issue of K-pop idols and groups mocking black culture. Groups like black pink, kiss of life, Kard,.and the new group all day project have all been caught having some type of microaggression or stereotyping actions towards the black community and unfortunately there will be more groups in the future who will do the same thing, especially if they have a hip-hop aesthetic. There is no way that these companies and their media representatives have no clue about the backlash that these types of incidences create. There was legit months of people calling out black pink and kiss of life for their racial insensitivities, but for some reason they thought it was okay to debut a dude who obviously has some major culture vulture actions for their new group ( Tarzan ) or even approving the kiss of life birthday live. You're telling me that nobody on their whole team did research before allowing them to post all of this online ? That's why I think they do know the ramifications of these actions but decide that nobody would actually care or since a lot of K-pop fans have a small attention span that they will forget about it within a month or so. Sometimes I think they also use it as a way to create rage bait and get their groups talked about more and use the philosophy of any attention is good attention. These groups that feed off of black culture will mock us so bad, but yet use all of our stuff for their music and outfits and never give us our flowers. The whole period where all these K-Pop groups were coming out with ampiano songs and dances but yet not a single black person or even an African person was introduced to at least give homage. submitted by /u/MochaMilku [link] [comments]

Favourite as in something to hype you up or when you're literally at your lowest points Mine are Go Big or Go Home by enhypen to hype me up and Lovers in the Night by Seori when I am at my lowest :) submitted by /u/OtherwiseMango6126 [link] [comments]

So im going to skz’s concert in Orlando tomorrow and I was testing out my light stick (V2) to realize I didn’t have the battery holder in the part you twist off. The little thing is missing and it’s too late to order a replacement on Amazon so I was wondering if anyone with an extra could meet up with me and lend or sell me one? Id literally pay money atp im so desperate 😭 I have soundcheck and i will literally meet anywhere before that or before the concert! Sorry if this isn’t the right subreddit, im really just trying to get this out lol submitted by /u/leeknowsleftoe [link] [comments]

I really don’t know what is going on here but it has not been fun in kpop_uncensored the past few days. I know there has been an influx of BTS post but I mean 4 members discharged and ARMY is excited. There is no reason to be trigger happy with mass reporting post and restricting them. Make a mega thread for those type post. Anyway what is the other options that Kpop where you can freely give your opinions and thoughts without being silenced. submitted by /u/PlacePuzzleheaded982 [link] [comments]

jungkook was seen wearing a hat that says “make tokyo great again” during rehearsals for his performance at jhope’s solo concert today. it was met with a lot of backlash in south korea. personally, i think the hat is satirical. but considering the political climate, and the history of korea and japan, i’m not surprised that there was such backlash to this. what are your thoughts submitted by /u/JinnieP [link] [comments]

He posted the apology on Weverse. submitted by /u/perpetualparanoia0 [link] [comments]

For example: I've seen people say that Korean-Australian/American/Canadian idols getting called "Non-Koreans" or "Half Koreans" just because they lived outside of Korea. Like??? Don't they understand what immigration is and that their parents move to live in a different country, doesn't mean you change into a new ethnic or race. 🤦🏻 submitted by /u/SatisfactionAdept548 [link] [comments]

The Stray Kids members as fairies now in cards, now embracing the darkness! Even as fairies, there's no mercy from Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N! submitted by /u/Heartless_Blade_76 [link] [comments]

So I am sorry if this has been already asked but I was just curious to know which are your fav groups that debuted in 2025. Or a new group that you are following in 2025 2023/2024 groups don't count. I am only talking about groups that debuted in 2025. Girl groups and boy groups both are welcome but I am personally a boy group kinda person lol so it'd be great if you'd give me your fav boy group debuts of 2025. submitted by /u/TheFool_asleep [link] [comments]

So last August after my Ateez concert, I had left the batteries in for about a week. I discovered then that it’s not good to keep them in because it damages quick. Nobody ever told me before then. 💀 I did take them out when I found out. I tried it again to make sure it still worked and it looked okay. But that was just turning it on, I haven’t been able to try it long term because I haven’t had a reason to since the concert, and I’m not sure I should try. My next concert is in July and I’m debating if it’s worth buying a new one just in case or just take a chance on still using the one I have. Idk man 🫩 submitted by /u/CeCeAlexus [link] [comments]

Why do you guys pick on Annie Moon just because her great grandfather is Samsung founder. Yes she’s very rich, but there are so many other idols like Jay from enhypen and Gawon from Meovv who are EXTREMELY rich as well. I know Samsung has a lot of problems, but let’s be real; anyone who’s making huge profit from people while the rest of the world is starving obviously has problems as well. Just because Annie comes from a very rich background does not mean she does not deserve her place in the group. We don’t know the story behind how she entered Black Label so stop making assumptions. She was also a trainee so she most likely is trained adequately for her to debut. And every time someone calls her Nepo baby or whatever - yes she is a nepo baby, but so are a bunch of famous people including Bella hadid and countless others - you guys just pick and choose who to hate on for absolutely no reason. Stop trying to target her before she even gets the chances to showcase her skills - if you are going to hate at least hate after she debuts. submitted by /u/waytootired__ [link] [comments]

That might not even be the term I’m looking for lol 😅 but I absolutely adore Ateez’ Aniteez and Seventeen’s Miniteen. They’re the absolute cutest things I’ve ever seen. I don’t have any Miniteen stuff yet because just started stanning SVT months ago, but I have some Aniteez stickers on my back car window. I also have a Jjoongrami cover for my lightiny and hopefully will get a bow soon to match. 🥹 submitted by /u/CeCeAlexus [link] [comments]

I fell in love with their old comeback virtual angel and other songs from the Dall album but this Club Icarus album might be another banger awakening.
