I know twitter is just a ridiculous cesspool, but it sometimes brings interesting things to think about for me. I am a ONCE that is quite active on twitter, unfortunately I just don't like it these days because other Onces are extremely vocal and would trend some protest or doompost about anything. As you know, TWICE just announced their 4th full album, "This Is For", on May 19th, about 3 weeks ago. The album will be released on July 11, about 4 weeks from now. This is then followed by a World Tour announcement and an announcement for a Japanese album as well, around the first half of last week. They usually announce big things on Monday 00.00 KST, so naturally fans were expecting them to release a timetable 13 hours ago. They did not release anything, and fans were angry and trended protest tags. Before the World Tour announcement as well, there were also people accusing JYPE for ruining the hype by not releasing anything within 1 week of the first teaser. Fans were also protesting the fact that the World Tour will start around a week after the release of the album, saying that it means the promotion will be poor because of minimal music show appearances. As a Once I do notice that JYP is not the best nor the most aggressive in their promotional strategies, I feel like all of these protesting are too excessive. However, that makes me question, what is considered "Good" promotion? Does it always translate to good sales? At what stage should groups stop relying on traditional marketing strategies? Are fans these days just so terminally online and have very short attention span? How much promotion is too much, how little is too little? Sometimes I scoff when some Onces say "TWICE should have joined SM or YG, they promote their artists" better, but at the same time I am reading that SM has poor marketing strategies anywhere outside South Korea. YG is... Well we know how many releases Blackpink has, and how their fans are always unsatsified. I am quite new into K-Pop so if there are any experienced people who've seen marketing strategies from 2nd gen and so, please enlighten me! submitted by /u/GaurdsGuards [link] [comments]

well, at least within their company. YG will have 2BG and 2BG. Remember YG did made Bigbang and 2ne1 collab before. Although TBL aint under YG, i can see still see both working together. Collabs were rare even before but it did exist until no one wanted to do it 🤣. The close thing we have was one member of a group having collab with another member of another group, but group to group, i believe none. This is just a thought but if YG did so, itll have a chain effect. All the love, im just bored yall 🤦🥰🫰 submitted by /u/Gotchapawn [link] [comments]
I want to go to see 82Major this month, Oneus, and ATEEZ. This will be my first Kpop concert! I’m just so excited. I usually go to concerts alone. I’m definitely going to see 82Major and Oneus because the tickets are cheaper I want to see them both before (or if) they hit it off big. I just started listening to them both, but I really like them! Both groups are performing at small venues. ATEEZ is a maybe because the tickets are so high, I’d go if someone else goes. Also open to be friends! I like Stray kids too! submitted by /u/cammycookiee [link] [comments]

When people talk about their favorite b-sides they mostly mention ones from the last 10 years or so. Let's give some appreciation to some older groups, shall we? Some of my faves: After School - Dressing Room Apink - Boo f(x) - Jet KARA - Rider Miss A - Lips SNSD - Trick Wonder Girls - Stop! 9MUSES - Who R U submitted by /u/SoRunAwayNow [link] [comments]

It’s so funny how akgaes are now a huge part of K-pop fandoms because apparently, it’s not enough to just bias a member anymore. You have to hate on the other members of the group now especially when they’re getting things the akgae’s favorite should be getting. Worst part about it, the fandom indirectly encourages this behavior. They pick and choose which akgaes to call out and which ones to ignore. This happens in a lot of big fandoms. The fandom decides that idol A (who’s usually a member the fandom in general doesn’t like very much) akgaes are the most toxic creatures to touch earth and forget to curb the others, giving them time to grow and spread and when they become too much to handle, it’s already too late to do anything. It’s probably too late now to drive them out of fandom spaces but I just wanted to talk about them, because my fandom is filled with them and it’s sad to certain members akgaes being allowed to spread hate to other members simply because the fandom has decided that the member deserves it, because their akgaes are bad. All akgaes should be shunned, whether they’re defending your favourite member or not, they’re terrible and should not be tolerated. I don’t know if I communicated this properly but I want to hear y’all opinions too. submitted by /u/Reel-Trouble34 [link] [comments]
After listening to Kiss & Tell by ITZY, and Good Thing by Idle, I am convinced we are having a resurrection of the beats and music production that was so popular in 2012/13. I wasn’t in to kpop back in that day so I’m not as familiar with the 1st gen kpop groups, but the vibes recently in kpop remind me of songs from Pitbull, Gabriel Iglesias, Nicki Minaj, etc. I’m here for it! Curious if you have noticed a similar vibe, and what other new kpop songs remind you of that era? submitted by /u/investig8tor_050721 [link] [comments]
so im fairly sure everyone knows they are once again going on a world tour. and releasing something??(album single? idk) but it has spark the convo again of how the members are tired of being blackpink and would rather be doing their solo work. so the question is. when do yall feel like they clocked out of being in a group? or on the flip side who do you think is still into being blackpink? submitted by /u/amarie_exe [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, so last year I got into a bad depression due to a health condition. I couldn’t walk and dance anymore, so I stopped listening to new k-pop because I didn’t want to know about new choreos I wouldn’t be able to dance (silly, I know). The thing is, I am better now! I want to listen all the albums, and watch the MVs and choreos I missed. Is the first time I don’t have a playlist for the year and it makes me really sad. Does someone have a playlist or can give a list of their favorite albums through the last year? The last comeback I watched and listen to was Armageddon by aespa. 🥹 I’m a multifandom, so I listen to anything and everything. 🩷 Thank you if you read all of this. submitted by /u/element1360 [link] [comments]
