What’s a super unknown K-pop song that deserves more hype?

There are the first major JYP boy group debut after SKZ. ( I know about their japanese/korean group NEXZ ). I know about LOUD survival show and heard that the group will debut for a while but when did they actually make their debut. I keep up with kpop spaces and it's a JYP group for god's sake but I haven't seen one mention them. Even if they are doing better domestically than internationally there should be at least some noise about them. Their seniors SKZ and Twice are so popular why haven't they used that to promote them more. I saw a post that they have sold 600k and that's good numbers so they must have a decent following is it because they are more famous in non English spaces? Like is it just a different feed thing or am I just unaware submitted by /u/DiMpLe_dolL003 [link] [comments]

I know im gonna get downvoted and I’m not trying to hate, but I feel like no one is really addressing how overly sexualized Blackpink has become lately especially Jennie and Lisa. I get that the usual response is, “They’re adults, let them do what they want,” and I agree that adults have every right to express themselves. But let’s be honest: being an adult doesn’t automatically mean you have to be half-naked on stage or flash your boobs during a performance. I’ve been a huge fan of Blackpink for years, and Jennie has always been my ult. But lately, it feels like every concert they sexualize themselves more and more. Jennie and Lisa in particular seem to be leaning more into this image. On top of that the outfits especially the super short shorts barely cover anything anymore, i dont know why they use safety shorts anymore because you can see EVERYTHING😭 I’m not against idols dressing how they want or feeling empowered in their own skin. Confidence is great. But there comes a point where it feels excessive. And the double standards are wild. If another idol did something similar, people would be quick to criticize them, calling it attention-seeking or inappropriate. But when it’s Blackpink, suddenly it’s “iconic” or “empowering.” submitted by /u/katherinee0 [link] [comments]

I’m having rather mixed feelings about this… on the one hand I do like lisa and she certainly is a great artist and icon, but I also feel like she’s been criticized a lot lately by netizens for several reasons. I also feel like with rose’s hit song apt and rosie album claiming top spots on the charts recently, this sudden drop of a lisa lightstick feels kinda odd to me. What are your opinions on this? submitted by /u/redlipstick1010 [link] [comments]

As someone who has been a K-pop stan since 2nd gen and all the way through to the end of 4th gen... 5th gen is just not doing it for me. Like the music is good but I couldn't be bothered to stan anyone anymore. The fun is gone for me. Just me? submitted by /u/tinyxikey [link] [comments]

Tons and tons of posts criticizing 'some groups' (Bp, aespa , skz and many others) flood these spaces... Sometimes I really wonder if the people making these posts are actually music professionals. A few posts are understandable, but damn, people really don't stop once they get started on certain groups' music... and they get thousands of upvotes. Their wording sounds so objective, like they're presenting the entire K-pop fandom's opinion: xyzs music is going downhill, xyz is really bad,' XYZ song is this, is that.' ...and when... does some group's music really make you this upset? I'm not against criticism, but at least make sense... Present your criticism subjectively. How the hell do these people know others aren't enjoying the music just because they don't like it? People really sound so dumb sometimes... I swear there are tons of groups and songs .. including some from my favorites , outsude kpop too ... that I don't like. All I do is skip them or never play those songs again. Not once have I thought, 'Oh, let me make a whole post about this.' And this pattern seems especially true for certain groups... Just listen to the music you like, skip what you don't, and only criticize when you have something sensible to say and try to live ur life outside internet please ... And please stop saying it's criticism group stans can't take , become overprotective....when people disagree with these kind of posts ...they ended up being tons of downvotes without saying words.....you can't convince me that this isn't hate .. submitted by /u/Longjumping-Bee5290 [link] [comments]

I was unable to keep up coz I don't have Tiktok in my country but I remember Kelly Kim. She was hated for being talentless and only winning because of her following since that show was based on votes? I guess. And there was Lea- Heuning Kai and Bahiyyih's sister. Apologies if I mention anything incorrect. As the info I got was solely based on some random posts and I wasn't on Reddit as well that time submitted by /u/Relevant_Engine_1555 [link] [comments]

I’ve been seeing nonstop praise for aespa lately, people calling their songs 10/10, labeling them the “next Blackpink,” and saying they’re redefining 4th gen K-pop. And honestly? I don’t get it. Visually? Absolutely- all four members are insanely beautiful, no denying that. 11/10. And it feels like SM knows that too, because their visuals are doing a lot of the heavy lifting in each comeback. Since Spicy, especially, the styling and concepts have gotten more and more sexed-up. It's hard to ignore that SM is clearly leaning into the “sex sells” strategy now- more skin, tighter outfits, sultry camera work. Just look at Giselle lately, it’s like every outfit is designed to show as much cleavage as possible. They’re pushing sex appeal hard, and it’s working in terms of grabbing attention and going viral. But musically? That’s where it completely falls flat for me. Yeah, aespa is “experimental,” but in a way that often just feels chaotic or shallow. The lyrics are repetitive and meaningless more often than not, and the songs jump between genres in a way that feels more jarring than innovative. It’s like SM is trying to be different just for the sake of it, not because it actually makes the music better. I’m not trying to hate for no reason. I get that some fans love the futuristic, cyber-AI concept and the bold girlboss image. And I respect that aespa is carving out their own lane instead of playing it safe. But I can’t shake the feeling that there’s way more focus on visuals, sex appeal, lore, and branding than there is on putting out solid, meaningful music. It’s starting to feel like smoke and mirrors. Every comeback is styled and marketed so well that people forget to actually question whether the song is… good. Am I alone here? I’m genuinely curious if others feel the same or if I’m just out of touch with what people want in K-pop right now. submitted by /u/Kpop-Analyser [link] [comments]

How to play: Comment or upvote the idol you think has had the best hair of the given color. Please do not comment idols that have already won in another color. Taeyong from NCT won as the male idol with the best GREEN hair with 100 upvotes! Today's color: LIGHT BLUE 🩵 submitted by /u/ExtensionStation6334 [link] [comments]

idols which voice is easy to recognise, even when they're in a group of a lot of people, their voices still sounds different and unique. It could be their technique, tone or accent. I'm just curious! submitted by /u/NeighborhoodTiny1431 [link] [comments]

Most of the K-Pop concerts I’ve been to have been extremely loud (mostly because of the fans). A few years ago my brother introduced me to concert earplugs for this one EDM concert we went to. I haven’t used them yet because the sound has never bothered me too much (except when my friend next to me was screaming for ATEEZ but that’s valid), but I know it bothers a lot of people including some of my friends who desire to get some. Do you guys use concert earplugs? On one hand, I know they would be objectively good for my ears and prevent hearing damage. At the same time I LOVE hearing all of the fans screaming and the chaotic loudness of it all and it makes the experience for me. submitted by /u/K_Katana1000 [link] [comments]

my nickname is "unluckiest stray kids fan in the WORLDDD"/ my catch phrase being "oy vay im the unluckiest skz fan in the WORLDDD" my boyfriend also has the nickname of Jewhwan (given by "SuJew", cs hes Jewish, is a Wannable and Jaehwan biased) my boyfriend's cousin has the nickname of SuJew/Super Jewnior (since he was taking a DNA test while drunk and found out his maternal grandmother was Jewish, therefore making his mother and him Jewish/Judaism is a maternal system) and one of my friends is called WooJew SoNyeo (wjsn korean name/he's an Ujung) "WooJew SoNyeo" also has a friend whose real name is a combination of Seventeen's Minghao/Jun (altho written in different characters) is called "seventeen" (and he happens to watch a lot of the dramas Jun features in) submitted by /u/Minute_Ice_7434 [link] [comments]
