What’s the biggest inconvenience you face as an international K-pop fan?

I remembered NMIXX again and tried to recall their debut, their debut was iconic, and... yeah song just feels like nonstop yelling, loud and unpleasant to my ears. When it ends, it’s like peace finally returns. I don’t even understand Korean, and this song somehow makes me understand it even less. Yeah, still not enjoying it to this day, and it just not grew on me. What do you guys think? did it grow on you? submitted by /u/matt_vaghn [link] [comments]

Very curious what you consider to be your fav group’s musical masterpiece in terms of quality and creativity! I think it isn’t necessarily the group’s most popular work, though it certainly could be. It also isn’t necessarily your favorite song! For my ult groups: Pentagon - Daisy. Or maybe The Game Seventeen - Super, which also happens to possibly be the group’s most popular song. Imo, I Don’t Understand But I Love You and Fear are other possibilities. submitted by /u/Lilac-Soul [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! This post is a weekly thread for any thoughts you might have that feel don't need a post of its own but still would like to air to the world. All rules apply, but you can discuss anything you want related to Kpop. Please be respectful and have fun! submitted by /u/KpopThoughtsmodteam [link] [comments]

Obviously, currently across the industry, alot of new gen artists seem to be tackling the nostalgic teenage-hood concept in their own ways. As a girl group enjoyer, I've noticed: The colourful teen crush concept which really had early 4th gen/late 3rd gen girl groups in a chokehold is not as popular now. STAYC and perhaps UNIS seem to be holding it down currently. ITZY were the most popular girl group with this concept, but they've matured into doing more heavy hitting girl crush songs lately (born to be, gold, girls will be girls). Sultry, sexy concepts also have been fading away for a while obviously since alot of artists are too young to be doing any of that. Besides, some of the older gen kpop girl groups people always like to refer to when it comes to sexy concepts also had minors in their groups. Kiss of Life is the singular girl group I can think of that still goes for it. The elegant izone-gfriend like concepts aren't as popular too. But tbh, the last time they had alot of prominent artists was back in 3rd gen (oh my girl, lovelyz, gfriend, wjsn, laboum, early apink, april) and mayyyybe early 4th gen (izone, loona 1/3 and yyxy). CSR and ILY was in that lane before they switched things up. Illit seems to dipping in and out of this lane sonically. IVE feels like a veryyy modernized version of this concept in the sense they feel more similar to late apink than to early apink. What do you think? submitted by /u/peach_tweech [link] [comments]

My opinion: 3rd gen: - Uji (BESTie). She is a former EXID member but she was only in the group for 2 months. Dia (Kiss&Cry) Haena (Kiss&Cry) Linzy (Fiestar) Bohyung (Spica) Kiss&Cry and Spica as a whole are vocally strong. 4th gen: All of 12dal (Nayul and Yerim) Jungwoo (BVNDIT) Swan (CRAXY) 5th gen: Kim (VVUP) Hello (Kandis) Soram (Candy Shop) Minami (Rescene) Kandis as a whole group is vocally strong. I’m a girl group stan, so I don’t know any nugu male idols but you can write them in the comment section. submitted by /u/cyberstacked [link] [comments]

Hey CARATs & Cubics 💎💎 I’m on a mission to find a specific Going Seventeen moment. It’s Mingyu (I think it’s him, but could be another member or even the whole group) singing Apink’s “NoNoNo” - I’m sure it happened in a GOSE episode but I cannot for the life of me find which one. It’s been driving me nuts 😭 Please tell me I didn’t just dream this. If you know the episode (or even the exact time stamp), you’ll officially be my hero forever. submitted by /u/Eleonora__Viltaria [link] [comments]

Kpop has always drawn influence from different genres, but lately I’ve noticed a heavier reliance on Western samples and sounds, especially older hiphop sounds. Not every song is like this, but it feels more common. For example, iLy interpolates Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, that one Lisa song, and Cortis’ recent release is clearly influenced by the 2017–2019 mumble rap era that was big back then. Do fans generally see this as a cool creative direction, or do they consider it lazy/cheap? Personally, I don’t think it’s inherently bad. NMIXX’s upcoming collab with Pabllo Vittar on a Brazilian funk track sounds exciting because they’re working with someone who truly represents that style. But when Kpop just borrows the sound without that authentic collaboration, it can feel… well, cheap. submitted by /u/Dry-Dress-3746 [link] [comments]
