There needs to stop being so much hate on a male idol making a dance more masculine. First off they could have been taught that way and secondly they might not feel comfortable dancing more feminine. Yes there are male idols that are very comfortable dancing that way, such as Changbin, but not everyone is. Why did Jay get hate for dancing with Katseye, it makes no sense. In the grand scheme it not not a big deal, just as if a female idol feminizes a boy group dance. Just let people dance how they want to. Dance challenges are supposed to be fun and not about if they do a dance perfectly or the way you want them to. submitted by /u/ExoticResident7359 [link] [comments]

I didn’t really know what to put as a flair for this but it’s basically a story. I’ve liked a K-pop group for some time now. Before I even knew who they were, I knew their songs and enjoyed them, and after some time, I really got to know that their music is very much my style. I was scared that my mom would hate me for liking a group, but I managed to get tickets to a concert and she said nothing about it. In fact, she actually seemed somewhat interested in who they were, so I would talk about them periodically. Somehow, this one time, when I just show her some funny video of one of them being scared by a bug, she just burst. She was yelling about how much she despises men like that who “scream like little girls” when they see something (and they really just slightly jumped and stepped back). She told that she was keeping quiet because she believed I was someone who sxualizes idols and only likes their looks, when I had never even remotely said something that goes along with her description of my behavior. In fact, I’m very much against the sxualization of idols because, in the root of it all, they’re artists, and artists should be praised for their works. She also said that if a grown man acts cute on stage that it’s all fake and that if they act like that, they are p*dos because they are “attracting little kids on purpose”… Yes, I’m a minor and, no, I’m not saying my exact age, but I’m not one of those little 10 y/o kids who like to revolve their lives around K-pop. I don’t know why, but this really changed my perspective on my mom. Like, a lot… I thought she would ignore at worst but I didn’t expect a full on meltdown over an idol being scared of a bug. I absolutely can’t agree with her hasty generalizations on idols considering the precautions that idols make to be sure that they act appropriately for the age of fans. I tried to explain that I like their music very much and have liked it before I knew their faces, but she calls them shallow excuses that I should never make for men. I really don’t know what I should do at this point. I’m kind of scared to share what I like to her now. I’m sorry about how long this is.. I’m also very sorry if this is against the rules. I just wanted to dump my thoughts into this to fully digest what just happened to me. Added mild censorship just in case. submitted by /u/SupermarketOk9689 [link] [comments]

Been looking for new people to talk kpop with since my discord server went inactive and would love to make some new friends in the space. submitted by /u/One_Remove_4713 [link] [comments]

i'm not trying to be racist or anything and i understand that some kpop idols are actually that pale. but i was looking at videos of 2nd and 3rd gen performances and you could see their natural tan skin tone. i feel like nowadays everyone is so pale and it just doesn't feel right. kpop idols being their natural skin tones makes them feel like actual people and relate to us. it's all about being perfect and having the fairest skin now and its so meh. anyway submitted by /u/Then-Warning-9337 [link] [comments]

I would give my soul to get these designs under your skin! 😍 Anyone else have this album on repeat? Or just me whilst hyperfixating on these tattoo designs .... submitted by /u/emilyfaithtattoo [link] [comments]

Hi, so recently I’ve been seeing a lot of TikTok videos where K-pop fans are hating on groups for singing about things like money, magical girl concepts, etc. Examples include Allday being criticized for their song about being rich and famous, with people saying it's insensitive because others are struggling to find jobs. Another example is illit, who are being judged for having a magical girl concept, with some saying it's not "groundbreaking" enough. My question is: why are Western fans getting mad at K-pop groups for putting out this kind of music, but not at Western artists who do the same thing? Is it just me, or are we unfairly criticizing K-pop groups for singing about these topics? I’m honestly just confused. Personally, I don’t think it’s fair. I see K-pop on the same level as Western music—there are different genres and styles, and if you don’t like something, just don’t listen or comment. Don’t expect them to change just to fit your taste. Example like Drake and Taylor Swift are going to have different styles and I viewed it the same as groups like illit, Allday, TWICE, or BLACKPINK. No song is inherently bad—it all comes down to personal taste. For example, some people think “Gnarly” is bad, while others enjoy it. At the end of the day, it’s subjective. submitted by /u/whyx_notx [link] [comments]

wayv's new album teaser (today) xdinary heroes' junhan this week ALLDAY Tarzzan (right) yesterday you'd think companies, with so many trying to build fanbases in the west, would at least give it a rest for a bit after the KIOF live and general n-word train going around in March, but no, this week is another part of the never ending series of kpop companies/idols making themselves look foolish to black kpop fans, the general western public, and pretty much everyone who understands how this is disrespectful. submitted by /u/Interesting-Cycle381 [link] [comments]

The girls are genuinely so lovely it kinda hurts to see that they've noticed their careers wavering for nearly 3 years when they deserve so much more. It's not about the music anymore, they've just lost gp interest. If it WAS about music, they would have gained a million times more popularity during untouchable's promotion when they released born to be because everyone wanted Wannabe 2.0 and untouchable was literally that. They also got None of my business in 2023 when people were drooling over relaxing, summer vibe songs. They got Mr. Vampire with focus on vocals which is what so many people were asking Itzy to focus on. They got Born to Be, which gave them a chance to show off their dance skills, which is what people were saying the girls were lacking with previous releases. But it was all slept on and ignored. I swear imaginary friend received so much love, but for some reason it wasn't very successful? And even though people disliked GWBG, they promoted Kiss and Tell (a song very reminiscent of their viral song, 'shoot') but that got barely anyone's attention despite being the kind of song a lot of people actually claim to want from them lol However, I think the biggest problem of Itzy is actually MIDZYS. One of their producers got annoyed on instagram because of people's divisions on what they want from the girls. Midzys are divided on the type of songs they want Itzy to have (upbeat and bright, badass or mature). Itzy always end up promoting a billion songs (hyperbole, it's usually only 2 lmao) on music shows every comeback with different styles. (NOMB/CAKE, MR.VAMPIRE/BTB/UNTOUCHABLE, GOLD/IMAGINARY FRIEND, GWBG/KISS AND TELL). Basically, Itzy can never win as the gp AND 'fans' will shit on their songs either way and it pressurises both the next producers and the girls themselves to decide on a titletrack. Iirc, Itzy went through 55 choices before settling on GWBG. Sorry for the rant, but it hurts seeing my ults of nearly 7 years being treated like dust when they clearly try so hard and have never slacked off a DAY in their career 😔 submitted by /u/Gold_Meaning3688 [link] [comments]

This is some anonymous human being convincing you to listen to one of the best solo discographies ever, I mean we already take in lies on the internet on a daily basis, so why not take in some truth?😓😓😓 You might know Baekhyun from his most famous songs, Arguably 1. Bambi 2. Cry for love If you already know these songs...THAT'S AMAZING😍 !!!!!!!!!!!.

One of my faves Baekhyun's music is literally yearning.😩 It's so blatant that he makes it to almost every edit video I see on tiktok with a caption like "Kpop, but it's men yearning". He gave birth to his son Jaehyun from NCT😩, but that's a discussion for another day Peace out folks!..sorry for startling you once again submitted by /u/Muted_Bodybuilder109 [link] [comments]

Seeing Soyeon and her career trajectory, I see why it’s so rare to see producer-idols. Before they blew up with Tomboy and became more in demand, i-dle’s music was some of the best of their generation. I genuinely believe the newfound fame, excessive tour schedules (3 world tours in a row AND the Jingle Ball tour) along with the demand for i-dle to attend music festivals, award shows, etc have caused Soyeon’s artistry to take a hit. It’s not that she isn’t good at what she does. She simply does not have the time OR environment to make the music she wants. When you’re always on the road and rehearsing for concerts and performances, when do you have to downtime to sit, think, and make music from the heart? In a recent interview, Soyeon mentioned how she wished she had more time to create “We are” and “Good Thing” because she felt she did not have enough time to flesh out her vision and looking back on these past few years I can see that being a problem. Most singer-song writers take years to release new work but due to how fast-paced the Korean music industry is, idol producers are expected to churn out multiple songs and albums a year and it’s just not feasible for them as creatives. This leads to mediocre songs, half-assed concepts, and idols not being proud of their work. Now, I’m even more worried for Soyeon because on top of her idol activities and producing for i-dle, she’s also producing for Baby Don’t Cry. I’m surprised she isn’t burnt out by now or at least suffering from writer’s block. She’s very hungry and is always ready to dive into her work, but I think she for sure needs to take more time to make the music and concepts she wants. She makes it known that she basically runs Cube, but I feel she’s running herself ragged to keep fans, executives, and investors happy. submitted by /u/valonvenus [link] [comments]

I have been a fan of The Boyz since 2017 and seen them live twice. I have seen a lot fans move on already, but this obviously this is not a regular case of a member getting kicked out. The involvement of the company and the media, plus Haknyeon’s willingness to fight made me want to look deeper into his hunch that this was a setup. (I am sure more information will be revealed during legal proceedings but that will take a long time, so for now I want to organize my thoughts. And I don’t mean to spread any misinformation, so let me know if you’ve understood anything differently.) TenAsia reported by Choi Ji Ye The first article (and the only one that firsthand directly alleged prostitution) was published before Shushun and before any clarifying company statement confirming official reason for termination. It set the precedent of a lot following articles (which either refer back to this article as the original source or more vaguely "other media outlets"). It claims multiple insiders shared details about seeing solicitation happen, existence of irrefutable evidence, and alleges Haknyeon admitting it himself later. Who are these insiders? Strangers who either firsthand or secondhand observed these events but rather than report to relevant authorities tattled to TenAsia…? Could be Japanese citizens who don’t have a connection to Korean police, but Shushun and TenAsia's allegations don't match at all The insiders are connected to the company but rather than report to relevant authorities they tattled to TenAsia… or they made it up The reporter made it ALL up. Not ostensibly her personal speculation since she refers to multiple third parties My thoughts: Because this was published before Shushun revealed anything, somebody from the company either prematurely or irresponsibly shared this exclusive story to CJY to set the scene of Haknyeon being an unreliable character. There are so many details to individually verify; by creating any doubt the damage is done. Ironically the article's specificity makes me think it could have only come from someone who had personal gain in his downfall, instead of a bystander who genuinely believes they observed a crime. The reporter (CJY) also is someone who has had an exclusive interview with 100RED’s current CEO so they do have an existing relationship. It would be a good legal cover for CJY if she was "just reporting on what she was told" by someone else. I hope she has to verify the insiders' credibility during proceedings - these insiders haven’t followed up anywhere since this article even before a police report was finally filed by a third party on the 19th, days after the original article. Dispatch and Lee Jin Ho The company states in their second reply statement that they are not commenting any further on Haknyeon, but Dispatch published multiple agency statements in their article. The article was released one day after cyberwrecker LJH’s video alleging Haknyeon bragged to his group members that they slept together. Dispatch echoes this story with detail variation. It seems to me that either: Dispatch and LJH are colluding (wouldn’t be the first time) Dispatch is just copying what LJH said and published it beside the agency statement for drama's sake Dispatch and LJH have the same insider source of intel but someone is fudging or not understanding details along the way If these staff members are telling the truth in these reports, why are they opting to turn to a cyberwrecker to share their story? I would even be more inclined to believe it if it was only Dispatch reporting since the agency explicitly spoke to them, but the fact LJH got this story first makes me think this info is either unreliable or just plain nefarious. It is entirely possible that the company directly engaged (i.e. paid) LJH to influence public opinion, but he is such a huge turd that I can’t even be objective here and think it was reporting in good faith. In any case it seems the company signed off on Dispatch’s article content. _______________ In summary, I would not be surprised at all if this is an orchestrated smear campaign and the company is exploiting the benefit of the doubt to continue business as usual. Even if everything after their second company statement is true, letting this all come to light through secondary reports is such a weird and uncomfortable way to get people on your side. One last point -- none of these reporters asked Haknyeon for his side and let these insiders(?) run rampant with what essentially is gossip. submitted by /u/UselessVisual [link] [comments]
