Which idol are you OBSESSED with?

I'm honestly confused by how some K-pop fans or some regular netizens, respond to sasaeng or greedy fansite behavior. There’s this recent incident going around, at the airport, one of Hearts2Hearts bodyguards roughly pulled a woman who was trying to get close to the members, she had a DSLR camera and forced her way to get close to the member. Now here’s the part that’s confusing: the reaction, a lot of people are angry at the bodyguard. They’re calling SM out for aggressive security, saying the guard was too violent, and even somehow blaming the members themselves (?? I genuinely don’t know what people expect the members to do in that situation). Then later, another video came out showing that the woman actually managed to making a physical contact and bump hard into one of the members, that caused the guard to react the way he did. Still, even after that, a lot of people are defending her and criticizing SM’s security. This got me wondering, how are people actually seeing sasaengs or obsessive fansites nowadays? We all know sasaengs or some fansite have done a lot of messed up stuff in the past, you’d think there’d be a general agreement that they’re a problem. But apparently in this case is not? Especially in Korean forums, this has turned into a heated debate, with many siding with the woman. Especially in Korea, where's a lot of cases happened in there, it’s wild to see so many people still taking the woman side. What do you think? Do you think the guard went too far no matter what? Or She just deserve it? submitted by /u/matt_vaghn [link] [comments]

I seen that KIOF possibly released another apology and now fans are starting to retract their statements and feel bad for the group because of the company’s statement about taking legal action against malicious rumors and comments and the whole thing just feels so calculated that I’m not even mad anymore, I’m just annoyed. At this point, just accept that you lost a portion of your fandom and some support from casual listeners and take it on the chin. This constant back and forth to milk to situation is so obvious. It’s pathetic. Their company definitely had a step by step plan and now we’re seeing it for what it is: a pathetic attempt to create buzz. I don’t wish for anyone to ever have to deal with threats and malicious comments but this “hate train” the company, the members and their fans are trying to create is crazy. Now trying to spin the situation so that people feel sorry for them is annoying and I just want them to stop. For someone who’s getting threats, they’re walking around like nothing ever happened and I don’t doubt that some people have been saying heinous things but I just find it all a bit interesting that this is happening right before a comeback and a tour (in America, if I’m not mistaken). At this point, I’m not surprised anymore. I always felt like companies set up stuff like this for attention then claim their groups are being harassed so that people quickly move on out of fear of being sued or having their accounts taken away. But I just accepted it and continued to enjoy kpop but this is so obvious that it’s laughable. submitted by /u/BonBonnie0 [link] [comments]

I'm bored so I just want to do something; but for some of the groups you've listed, I might don't have any bias or bias wrecker. If so, I'm so sorry🙏 submitted by /u/Specific_Cake_5410 [link] [comments]

4 Walls - F(x) Eclipse - Kim Lip Spring Day - BTS Genie - SNSD Replay - Shinee My Lady - Exo Ending Scene - IU Whiplash - Aespa Cool With You - New Jeans The Chaser - Infinite Top 5 is debatable they can all be in different positions but 6 onwards I’m set on. submitted by /u/AdEmergency6619 [link] [comments]

What's your dream collab? Anyone counts, k-pop groups, soloists, or even non kpop artists. Personally, my dream collab would be between Hwasa and RM, both of them are fire rappers and I can't imagine a better duo. submitted by /u/cremebrule00 [link] [comments]

Saw a store in Busan stocked with lightsticks! One for each group, all totally unique. Fans carry them like glowing badges. It feels like genius merch that builds identity and visual community. But I’ve never seen this outside Kpop. What’s up with that? Cultural thing? Logistics? Or do other fans just not buy into it?

If you somehow still don’t know who that is Tory Lanez is an abuser dude that shoot famous female rapper Megan The Staillion and now has an army of pure misogynist men who harass her every day for (rightfully) sending him into court and winning. submitted by /u/maonyuz [link] [comments]

Before even seeing the lineup I already knew that a mixed group under him was already a bad idea but they release the promotional picture and.....we have a guy who calls himself a jungle man because he has a little bit of tan and wears braids? I mean his Instagram is a mess with him even listing his location as "in the jungle" sometimes😭😭 Obviously I will not be supporting but my big question is What on earth does Teddy hope to achieve with this? I am genuinely curious. submitted by /u/lilacprincess03 [link] [comments]

hey guys, can y'all give me the link to where you got your photocard binders ? I want to get one for my daughter for her birthday and I'm having a hard time finding a good/cute one. thank you ! submitted by /u/jrondon91 [link] [comments]

I know men also have a big difficulty to escape the hate train in K-Pop, for the dumbest reasons possible but women are on another level. People making fun of Ahyeon's whole personality and saying she wants to be a Jennie wannabe, when all I see in this girl is she just wants attention for the best. I think when you're a member who entered after debut like Yeri from Red Velvet, you feel untouched with your group's fanbase because people will start saying "Oh, for me it didn't make any difference so why she's there?" Yuna! If it's a hip pad who cares? She never said to nobody "Hey, you need to look like me?" So why so much stress about her? Lia also, she's always degraded about her position in the group, like wtf? If she was just a filler member, she wouldn't even sing half of what she sings. And the list goes on and on. If it's about dating, body image, or trying to be sexy and stuff. It goes harder on them, and I genuinely still don't understand how people instead of giving criticism people just straight up hate and bully them. submitted by /u/nolimits237 [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I’ve been a K-pop fan for quite a while now — a multistan who absolutely adores 2nd and 3rd gen groups. But honestly, over the last few years, I’ve felt like the K-pop industry has lost a bit of its essence. The music doesn’t hit the same anymore. It feels like so many idols debut just for the fame, and there’s less focus on vocal or rap talent. Everything’s becoming super commercial. That said, I recently discovered BoyNextDoor and xikers, and oh my god — they gave me that old-school K-pop thrill again. There's something raw, refreshing, and passionate about them. Their performances feel genuine, and it reminds me of why I fell in love with K-pop in the first place. So now I’m curious — Which new-gen groups do you think are bringing something real to the table? Who gives you that nostalgic yet exciting vibe? submitted by /u/unforgiven_villain [link] [comments]

I couldn’t fit all groups in the poll so I went with the ones who are more appreciated for their b-sides but feel free to comment your favorite + songs recommendations! I feel like TVXQ, SJ, SNSD and aespa all have pretty solid discographies but their albums tend to have more fillers than the ones in the poll. RIIZE and H2H don’t have enough songs to be included in the competition imo. But music is subjective so feel free to disagree lol View Poll submitted by /u/MyOrgel [link] [comments]
