What can we do, as fans, about the exploitation of workers in the K-pop industry?

Mines is Sohyun from TripleS and Sunghoon from Enhypen. I don't see it and I honestly think people should leave her alone instead of seeing her as an extension of Sunghoon. Its getting weird submitted by /u/Nynasa [link] [comments]

First of all, the song is clearly about a cat, sung from the perspective of the cat's owner's roommate who has a cat allergy. Now, I don't have a cat allergy, or any allergy, really. But I know exactly how it feels to have one, so you are legally not allowed to question anything I say here. Starting with the first verse, our narrator talks about cooking for the cat. It is obvious that they are talking about cooking the original owner of the cat, because the owner keeps the cat away from the narrator because of their allergy. As if that can stop them. They're fine as long as they don't eat the cat, so they don't understand the owner's actions. The chorus paints a picture of the narrator secretly spending time with the cat. They feel like sneezing because that's how love feels, but they have so many things they want to tell or do for the cat so they don't mind it. The lyrics say that their lips tickle- a feeling that any person with allergies know all too well, I'm sure. The second verse is from the cat's perspective. It tells us that it found someone it would like to wake in the morning. The usage of the word "found" here implies that this line isn't about the owner, but rather about the narrator. The cat follows this up with "When I see you feeling down I feel terrible too", which suggests a strong bond between the narrator and the cat. The second chorus could be interpreted as the cat's perspective as well, assuming that it has a human allergy. It could also be the narrator's perspective. The bridge is from the narrator's perspective again. They say "When you call me a good friend, I really don't like it", the words directed at the cat's owner. The narrator despises the owner, and does not enjoy being called their friend. The next line is "Unfinished letters I write all night, love I haven't confessed yet". The so called letters are just written out, deliberate murder plans. The song ends with the narrator kicking out the owner since killing them would mean they would go to prison and be away from the very cat they had done everything for. There is no evidence for this in the lyrics nor in the mv, it is merely the wishes of my ass so it's true now. Then the narrator and the cat live happily ever after. Thank you for reading until the end, don't forget to check the post flair, have a great day/night. submitted by /u/privygrid [link] [comments]

He looks so confused lmao. submitted by /u/YeosangYodeler [link] [comments]

anyone finds that funny? like yes they might write a song about fans, but a song could be about romantic love or sex but the idols would be like “it’s a song for the fans” i just find it funny cause we all know that’s nawt true and y’all are writing about your actual partners submitted by /u/sunsetky [link] [comments]

I am so angry and sad. What kind of show is this?!!?? All they did was tell the members how handsome they are and how small their heads are! Like wtf?? And all the comments were like that too, i was waiting for the time where they would dance or sing or do something related to them being idols but nope. Guess their heighs, check their weight, make them uncomfortable, ect. I could literally see the cringe in their eyes and every time they smiled it was so fake. Why did they do that? I started crying, my ult group was being treated like it they weren't there but their faces were. Ps: they are 'K', 'Jo' and 'EJ' from &team. STAN THEM submitted by /u/shiny0009 [link] [comments]

okay, so... it's just something i wanted that i wanted to share to see other people thoughts related to Kany's tweet about choreographing part of the "tell me" dance. https://x.com/kanydiabate/status/1937701104835588241 https://x.com/thailainthemood/status/1908197110198984761 About the whole kiss of life thing, I'm honestly so upset about it still lol because i really liked their music. Apart from really liking julie's and natty's stage presence and style, i never was a huge fan of the members deeply as I am with, for example, twice or red velvet, which I care for the members. Now kiof, I was always mostly inclined to them because they make really good music. And them this whole thing came out and to be honest, for the first few weeks after the live, i still listened to them, even knowing everything (yeah....). but after a few weeks, the whole thing really started to sink and i just lost so much the respect i had for them to the point even if i still listened to them, was different because, not just because i felt it was wrong but because i kind of got hurt by how they handle the whole thing, really upsetting. first was a apology sent by the company, then the written ones for each member, and then like a week before their last comeback Julie made a live and apolgoize directly, but before that Natty and Haneul still had birthday lives and no one said anything, just moved on, and then with this live Julie said they didn't want to say anything before to not ruin the other members birthdays but like, i think, personally, showing that you're really sorry (in her case for the 2nd time) should be more important. also, she was the only one to apologize like that (even if was her idea that theme, everyone participated). Anyways, that's it, it's just something that i really wanted to share my thoughts, i know it's sounds dumb but i wanted to get this off my chest, because it's so annoying how upset i got with everything. And i also hate how they still make good music (just another dumb thing i also needed to say). submitted by /u/GuiltyReport5463 [link] [comments]

As we all probably know by now, K-pop is a very exploitive industry, where idols have very little freedom and are always being commodified by their companies. If idols are workers, then us fans are consumers. So here is the question: What can we, as consumers of K-pop, do about the exploitive nature of the K-pop industry on workers? Either individually or collectively. submitted by /u/Mountain-You9842 [link] [comments]

For some reason, there are some lyrics where you can hear the fix and wonder why they didn’t just...? I am gonna go first. In How You Like That, Rosé in the first verse says “I’ll kiss you byyyyye” instead of “I’ll kiss you goodbye.” WHY? Just why? They even write “I’ll kiss you goodbye” in the captions! I’m a Queencard enthusiast, I don’t usually mind wacky lyrics, BUT I can forgive the Ariana and Kim K line (even though it’s awkward), but the “my boob and booty is hot” is pretty fixable. They could’ve just said, “My boobs and booty, hot!” Like... why?? submitted by /u/Any-Listen4184 [link] [comments]

I've said this multiple times already, but ILLIT’s album covers are top-tier! As someone who loves a balance between maximalism and minimalism, I just love them. 🪄✨ submitted by /u/why_dmn [link] [comments]

this is purely a lighthearted joke about their similarities in appearance — they’re all people with distinct talents and unique personalities as we know and love <3 As a jaejoong ult this is SO hypocritical of me but I’ve recently come to realize that my bias line is literally just jaejoong and his sons in SM. After being away from kpop (the tvxq breakup traumatized me a bit lol), what got me back in was nct. Taeyong literally appeared on my yt algorithm and I did like a triple take because I thought jaejoong respawned in the land of unblacklistment. 6 years later my bias line is now jaejoong, taeyong, sungchan, and wonbin. I personally think early era taeyong is literally identical to o jung ban hap jae (+ sharper jaw and thinner lips). It’s kind of funny how different their personalities are given their physical resemblance lol Sungchan looks like a milder version of taeyong. Jaejoong is also a softer version of tae but in a way that’s slightly different from the way sungchan is imo. I see strong similarities between them though nevertheless. With wonbin, I think it’s more of the vibe induced by his 2nd gen styling (the long black hair suits him so well) and his affinity with the undisputed center position. A lot of people say there’s very little resemblance, but I do see VERY young jaejoong (think hug, pre-debut even; you’ll see) in wonbin very much. I am actually so disappointed in myself for sharing the exact same taste as LSM 🥀 Please let me know if there are other lookalikes! (and no “they failed to clone jaejoong” comments please they’re all talented in their own ways…) View Poll submitted by /u/shiomusubi [link] [comments]
