Looking for new music to listen to, plus I’m just curious! Mine are: k bye by KISS OF LIFE Girls Will Be Girls, Kiss & Tell by ITZY Attention seeker by X:IN NMIXX’s whole Fe304: FORWARD album submitted by /u/cruelmemory [link] [comments]

Izna released BEEP today and honestly when they first dropped the teaser/chorus I didn't like it. But today I heard the full version of it and wow I really love it. I like the energy the song brings, the beat and everything.(it sounds like something illit would release). I really admire how THEBLACKLABEL producers stepped up and I know some people complain about the repeated word chorus, which is valid but let's be honest there's a lot if 5th gen groups doing that. Anyways I've been playing it nonstop and was curious how other people received it cause people have different tastes. So what's your take on it ? submitted by /u/Fast-Championship694 [link] [comments]

I’m relatively a new kpop stan but after seeing all the new jeans stuff I’m curious how much income they were bringing in? I know their popularity is huge but do the numbers align with that? submitted by /u/AdEmergency6619 [link] [comments]

When I'm listening to a song, I prefer to focus on the main vocalist who has strong singing abilities and enhances the track. This is quite common, yet these pesty akgaes always feel the need to disrupt the comeback every single time by boycotting and claiming the company isn't treating the member fairly because of fewer lines. I believe it only qualifies as mistreatment if the member with poor vocal abilities receives significantly more lines than the main vocalist. These fans who support tone-deaf members are really getting on my last nerves. Their bias faces constant criticism for having weak vocals for years, so it’s always been very obvious that the producer decided to give them fewer lines which makes sense to educated people. And the same akgaes who want their bias to have more lines are insanely delusional because they forget their idol was the main reason why the group's encore would get dragged for being embarrassingly bad in the first place... They start blaming the talented members for "hogging" the song, but the reason why their songs are even listenable in place is because of the those members who can sing really well. It's just how the general public views their group as a whole so if they highlight the untalented member in these songs then what's the point? I guess they want the whole group to tank and have a bad songs that no one streams or even likes. Sometimes I think it'd be very interesting if their untalented bias left the group and went solo so they could get a proper rude awakening. submitted by /u/Apprehensive_Leg6353 [link] [comments]

I didn’t love it on first listen, but the more I replay it, the more it clicks. The production details really stand out and the chorus gets catchier each time. DIFFERENT submitted by /u/chaeyoung_ig [link] [comments]

More sound-wise: As a 2024 fan this is the first time I found myself saying WOW ITZY really has a cohesive sound. It's very hyperpop -- basically early ITZY they were doing it slightly before everyone else and now they're doing it slightly later than everyone else, making it THEIR sound. It's a very high average BPM drop. I think this distinguishes ITZY more than I've given credit for -- I think the other gen4 groups have a little bit of "laid back cool girl" in them whereas ITZY hasn't still wears their light-up shoes. "Promise" is very solid on the ballad-end. I don't know if this is a JYP sound thing, but every time they've piano-led a piece (Mr Vampire and NMIXX High Horse) I've been really impressed by it. I know this one's divisive but I think Yeji's vocal improved a LOT in "Air" and you can hear it "Gold" era too. (Divisive esp to "Crown" fans.) You can hear a lot more vocal layering now which I think is pretty crucial to a rancorous girlgroup concept. More concept-wise: I haven't dived into the lyrics and you usually can't repeat trauma concepts like Gold's "separation anxiety" theme. But after "Gold" I did wonder if they'd go for an especially cohesive lyrical theme. Technically Gold was a mini-album too, although slightly obscured by the 5 remixes. There's something artistic about commitment to a "being yourself" concept through a few sources of adversity. Both people and business-wise they've gone steady, generally avoiding scandal in a kinda rough year for their gen and working to keep Lia in the group (not that you ever know what goes on behind the scenes but I just think the more default thing to do in kpop is push her out.) submitted by /u/abyssazaur [link] [comments]

100000/10 song i better hear ts live or ELSE submitted by /u/kkazugyu [link] [comments]

Mine is that next year, Jin of BTS will be the same age as PSY was when he released Gangnam Style (34). Idols currently that age include Irene from Red Velvet, Key and Minho from SHINee, Solar from Mamamoo and many more. Of course, there’s always the strange realisation that Taemin of SHINee is the same age as the members of BTS - I don’t know if it’s weirder that he’s younger than Jin and Yoongi despite debuting five years before them, or that he’s older than the other five even though he feels like the eternal maknae and super young. What about you? What other age comparisons or realisations in K-Pop blew your mind when you first heard them? submitted by /u/rocketmammamia [link] [comments]

The lyrics are not that bad, but combined with the instrumental it feels like something that came out of Kidz Bop. The concept is not matching the overall music, what a shame. One more time JYPE gives me hope, and I receive nothing. submitted by /u/nolimits237 [link] [comments]
