Why do y'all do this??? Stupid mass reporting

I understand there is really no such thing as anything objective in art quality. Also this post is not meant to discourage or imply K-Pop which does focus on "objective quality" is less than or that K-Pop has no objective quality. K-Pop as a whole has never really tried to be Radiohead or these underground and indie artists that have those insane album ratings on music rating websites. K-Pop understands that it is art, and the goal of art is to entertain and evoke emotion, not be objectively good. Not focusing on making music with objective quality much of at all has allowed K-Pop to be so much more creative, take risks, and make music with an actual identity. This is what makes K-Pop so special! It is also why I believe that sadly K-Pop is at an unfair disadvantage when being compared to a lot of non-K-Pop and why comparing K-Pop to non-K-Pop can be harmful and why many people don't take K-Pop seriously. However, i am still thankful K-Pop is like this and would not change it for the world. submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

I'll start: HyunA marrying Yong Jun Hyung fans getting offended by ships idols saying bizarre things idols who did horrible things, but their fans are there to defend them when they get offended because someone in their own fandom thinks differently Come on friends, say it without fear even if you insult each other or me, that's why the name of the group, right? submitted by /u/hawkraptor2005 [link] [comments]

Yes I know its probably because it is released by a newer company, she just signed the contract and there are is a lack of promotion. She is doing a lot of fan signs and meetings but Awkae is easily top 5 post gfriend era songs released by any members. It is also the very general public friendly and trendy. It sucks it doesnt have a choreography because of her injury. But man its such a miss to not be able to promote awake. The awake mv hasn't even reached 100k views while her previous releases has at least 3 million views. I hope more people give it a listen because its been a while since such a catchy easy listen song. submitted by /u/seokjinseyebrows [link] [comments]

…then I will welcome you into this community anyway. Not what you thought i was gonna say? Thought i was gonna tell you to fuck off? Nah, i’m here to break the cycle. I know that there will be plenty of people who disagree with this sentiment, but I refuse to be one of the toxic gatekeepers that kpop is known for. Being vindictive and bitter helps no one. And I applaud you for being open-minded enough to change your opinion. It’s not an easy thing to do. I will even give you recommendations and i will cheer alongside you at concerts. The only thing i ask is that you spread the word to your friends and family. 😉 submitted by /u/Lilac-Soul [link] [comments]

I hope this is not voilating any rules. What do you think about this cover in this part of reddit? You’re the experts, interested in your opinions. submitted by /u/paretooptimalstupid [link] [comments]

It seems like every group has a song with this exact same beat... It's giving me flashbacks to the 2010-2013 when everthing had a dubstep drop. I wish it would die already. Like this song for example has the potential to be really good but instead they just double down on the same jersey club beat alll the way through the song from start to finish... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlULtigNNao I feel like I have heard this exact song like 10 times over this year alone... We are going to look back at these songs in a couple of years and they are going to sound so dated... None of them are going to stand the test of time. Even the latest NMIXX album which I think is a 10/10 has a jersey club section at 1:47 https://youtu.be/EmeW6li6bbo?t=104 in Blue valentine. I guess it suits their changeup theme but it is really not neeeded and doesn't really add much. Like this is has virtually the same beat as the MEOVV song... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaGsVrnH-5k It's getting stale. Am I the only one who feels this way? submitted by /u/NewJeansBunnie [link] [comments]

Im curious about how my taste matches everyone else's! 🤭 submitted by /u/Jjong_Hariibo [link] [comments]

First of all I would like to say that in no way I am implying that NMIXX is not popular. They definitely are, but considering their music and their talent, they should have been Aespa and IVE level popular, but they are not. Some people say that its because their debut was very bad, so people think NMIXX makes bad music and don't bother checking their songs, but I don't think that's true. I am on multiple platforms like twitter, tiktok, reddit etc, and the most common notion is that NMIXX makes really good music. The reason they are not as popular is not the music but the lack of star power or "it" factor. They don't have their Karina or their Wonyoung. Sure Sullyoon is pretty, but that's it. Being pretty doesn't equal having star power. I have watched their performances and even though they are really good dancers and singers, I don't feel anything when I watch them perform. submitted by /u/Odd_Entertainer9554 [link] [comments]

It’s not just toxic… it’s like some fans lose their ability for personal criticism. They become so obsessive that an idol could release a terrible song, and they’d still call it a masterpiece. I guess some fans have such low self-esteem or are so emotionally vulnerable that they start treating K-pop groups like a cult, something they have to idolize no matter what, and if someone has a different opinion or dislike a certain song they start getting aggressive. submitted by /u/OdiseoX2 [link] [comments]

There’s genuine love and passion in the fandoms, sure, but there’s also gatekeeping, bullying, and over-the-top behavior that ruins it for everyone else. What’s your experience with the toxic side? submitted by /u/Antiquechariotism [link] [comments]

I just got into XLove and I’m obsessed with their sound but I can’t help wondering if they’ll ever get to perform at major Korean award shows or festivals. Their work I think is powerful and important but it’s also something the Korean industry still tends to avoid promoting. Korea’s mainstream industry can be pretty conservative about image and concept so labels and broadcasters often steer toward polished, crowd-pleasing acts but still the fact they've already made it onto major tv music shows: Music Bank, The Show etc maybe there’s hope things are changing. what do u think?? submitted by /u/kkbop90 [link] [comments]

Exactly what the title says. I think we all know about the number of trainees that a company keeps at a given time vs the number of people who debut. There can be up to 50 trainees at a time training for a company and generally only 4 to 6 debut, maybe 7 - 11 if it's a large group like SNSD/Izone/Hearts2Hearts/you get my point. Groups like tripleS (24 members) are experimental concepts. I have heard that it's common for SM entertainment to keep trainees for 8+ years without ever actually debuting them in any project. I know Ejae from Kpop demon hinters movie was considered for Debuting in SNSD and later in Red Velvet until eventually she was told she was "too old" to debut (just mid 20s, really). She was "too old" (by idol standards) to debut in Red Velvet and was told she was too young to debut when Girls Generation (SNSD) debuted (which is honest probably an excuse, other SNSD members where her age at debut, around 15 or so). She has a very deep mezzo soprano tone and kpop tends to fabor light bright soprano voices, barring groups like Dreamcatcher and Rolling Quartz which have a darker concept, so in my opinion they were never planning to debut her at all and had her around solely as a backup option/"just in case" trainee. In case a member leaves, gets injured, can't debut for health reasons, whatever. Her vocal tone is very beautiful and resonant and her technique is excellent, it's obvious she's an ex SM trainee, but it's also dead obvious that she wasn't considered a good enough candidate in a saturated industry that primarily favours visuals, marketability, how well you fit the concept, etc, and generally favors brighter light female voices. Now Ejae is working in the background as a songwriter for other artists and I am honestly waiting for her solo debut, after all the publicity Kpop demon Hunters gave her. A singer songwriter in k-pop is a somewhat rare phenomenon. Anyways, her story got me thinking about all the trainees that never make a debut, whether because of visuals and body proportions, not fitting the concept of the group (ie, a deep voiced trainee in a company that plans to debut a cutesy Illit/Lovelyz/Gfriend type group), no dance aptitude despite top notch vocals, or something as simple as having both the visuals and the concept down but there being a slightly better candidate at the time and limited positions. Who will debut in k-pop isn't determined by vocal or even dance technique alone, - otherwise all main vocalist would be literally Whitney Houston and all main dancers would be Balanchine or Broadway tier, all rappers would flow like Eminem, etc. Which got me thinking that perhaps k-pop trainees who are not chosen for debut and are let go by the company should at least be given a certificate of completion of sorts, sort of like a degree or professional certification, that proves that they trained with the company for a certain amount of years. Ie, "Kim Park (fictional name), trained in SM entertainment/YG/Starship/Woollim/whatever for 4/5/6/7/8+ years for the vocals/dance/rap position and has reached such and such skill level". That would give former trainees who aged out solid fallback options that would allow them to still work in the industry, just not as idols. For example, someone who trained to be the groups main dancer could work as a backup dancer and still get to be on stage with idols, or work behind the scenes as a choreographer. Someone who trained to be the groups rapper could transition into behind the scenes production or writing for established groups, someone who was a great main vocalist prospect could do backup vocals or debut as a trot/ballad singer instead (popular music style in Korea), and someone who had average vocals and dance but excellent visuals could be redirected to the acting and modeling industry and find success there, like many aged out former idols do anyways. Eugene from S.E.S is now an actress. Or, if they choose to, they can pursue a different genre of music such as k-rock or k-indie, or being a professional trot singer like I mentioned above, and a certificate proving that they trained under a kpop company for 4+ years would make them more likely to be signed by a different label or even a Western label, it would make them better more competitive candidates. That way ex-trainees can still enjoy working in the industry in some ways, whether behind the scenes or as a different kind of performer, and they get viable fallback options that aren't retraining for 2 to 5+ years to get a different kind of education or training in s completely different field and being behind their peers by that time. With such a system, 8 years of training without ever debuting would not go to waste. I had this thought while eating a kids menu cheeseburger meal, anyways, nodding off.

There's a few posts there with thousand of upvotes complaining about how KPop Idols love interested in their music videos is mostly white if they're foreigners and im like why does it matter?? Who cares about who's Idols Love interested was?? It's like their fantasy to see KPop Idols make love with black people. Look I understand about wanting more black representation in kpop as they took alot of inspiration from black American culture but you can do that by demanding this companies to debut more black Idols like fatou from blackswan or manon from katseye. Demanding them to be Idols love interest on the music video is some sort form of fetish. submitted by /u/Chemical_Mobile_6613 [link] [comments]
