Wooyoung saying K-pop Demon Hunters movie is very inaccurately portraying the job of an idol is funny but also extremely important to know

Me and a friend were talking about ateez lately and she brought up the concern for wooyoung and how he's been looking lately. She showed me a recent picture and I even saw a recent video of him signing material after one of their concert stops and he doesn't look well. Now I understand that making the topic more talked about it might start getting into body shaming but I truly don't know if it's just the blonde hair he has paired with his already light skin or there's truly something going on and it's a bit concerning Hopefully after this tour him and the other boys can rest. submitted by /u/MochaMilku [link] [comments]

So… I commented on a lighthearted video saying something like “they’re obviously just friends” when people were talking about Minsung (Lee Know × Han). I didn’t insult the idols, I just expressed my opinion that I don’t think they’re romantically involved. That’s it. Suddenly, a bunch of shippers jumped on me like I had committed a crime. I was told my opinion “means nothing” because I don’t believe in Minsung, and that I’m “living in denial.” One even claimed they’re definitely real and are just “hiding their relationship through fanservice.” But here’s where it gets truly ridiculous: Someone literally said that Lee Know is only affectionate with Han, and that everything he does with the other members is meaningless or just for show. Like… WTF!??? They really sat there trying to argue that when he hits Han’s butt it’s a sign of love, but when he does the exact same thing to, say, Felix or Seungmin, it “doesn’t count.” And they said something about the skz staff saying the sparkle is lino's eyes is exclusive for han??? do i look like i gaf??? I tried to respond calmly, even joked once or twice, but it somehow escalated into me being “disrespectful” just for having a different opinion. I don’t get how saying “I don’t ship them” turned into a full-on character assassination attempt. Fandom isn’t supposed to be this hostile. Like... people are allowed to disagree without being dragged for it. Shipping ≠ reality, and it definitely shouldn't mean silencing or attacking others. Some Minsung shippers need to chill. Seriously 🥀🥀💔 submitted by /u/Distinct-Egg-7973 [link] [comments]

i fully expect this post to be taken down in 10 minutes lmao but i’m curious about everyone’s take on this? personally, i do see the similarities in the shots singled out by the artist. they also made it clear that this gripe is towards the company and not the artist himself submitted by /u/JinnieP [link] [comments]

How to play: Comment or upvote the idol you think has had the best hair of the given color. Please do not comment idols that have already won in another color. Felix from Stray Kids won as the male idol with the best BLONDE/YELLOW hair with 145 upvotes! Today's color: MINT/LIGHT GREEN 💚 submitted by /u/ExtensionStation6334 [link] [comments]

Some kpop opinions that are immediately a red flag to me are people who despise when ggs full of grown women do mature concepts and write thinkpieces about them being exploited and the likes but don't have that same energy for bgs. Its odd... and reeks of misogyny. submitted by /u/Nynasa [link] [comments]

This is not a JYP doompost. We should be allowed to discuss topics that are not completely positive about a company without being shut down instantly which I hope can happen here. So by senior groups I mean Day6, Twice, Stray Kids. Day6 are the only group that charts in Korea in the last couple years and they debuted 10 years ago. Itzy dont chart at home any more, sales are down and international streams are poor NMIXX never got much of any foothold on k charts and while their sales are good and fandom seems to be growing, their GP popularity in Korea is stalled and their international popularity is not growing. Kickflip just debuted, and haven't shown much buzz unlike a BG from other big companies like RIIZE for example. I'm not writing them off at all, but if they become popular it will probably take some time, maybe years. So what does JYPe do if their senior groups become less active? They'd have very little else to fall back on other than some decent touring numbers from ITZY and NMIXX. That feels like a bad spot for a major Kpop company. Its frustrating because while I like a lot of the music their groups put out, like NMIXX is my top group, they just never seem to be able to find a song that will hit with a wide wider audience outside their groups own fandoms since like 2021. They also do very little compared to other companies (HYBE for example) in terms of cross-promoting their newer groups with senior acts, or in terms of finding new effective ways to promote their new groups (like Katseye and le sserafim doing videos with popular English-speaking influencers). Like Babymonsters senior girl group are massively popular and YG had them all over the promotional content leading up to debut. That is a fantastic promotional move. And yet Twice were huge in Korea, but JYPe didn't involve them at all with promo for ITZY or NMIXX. That's just one example of many missteps. It always feels like JYPe divisions are in direct competition rather than working together. Idk I guess I'm just wondering what people's genuine thoughts are on this. I hope we can have a real discussion without retreating to being defensive about the company. submitted by /u/enmicks [link] [comments]

Ryujin Ahyeon Siyeon Winter Liz Dahyun Sohyun Heeseung Yeonjun Minnie Eunchae DK All of these in no specific order.

Lmao feel free to also drop a song you think I'd like based on my biases lol. submitted by /u/Clamrubber28 [link] [comments]

I'm currently on the hunt for some truly chaotic, loud, and insane K-pop tracks. Could you recommend me some? Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/Negative-Track-9179 [link] [comments]

Let’s say you have a boy group with 6 to 8 members. All of them Koreans, 6-8 year age gap between youngest to oldest, nobody is exempted from military service, some might have to do social service though. Would you prefer: a) All of them going pretty much around the same time. This means, the whole group is absent for ~21 months and no member can promote the group apart from pre-recorded content. b) The members going within a staggered period, but with not too much space in between. For example, the last member starts military service ~ 1 to 1 ½ years after the first member. This means, the whole group is absent for around 3 years, but members can promote the group individually before the last member enlists and after the first member has finished his service. c) The members going one after another. This means, the whole group is absent for many years, but members can promote the group individually, sub-units can be formed and the group can even continue as OTx-1. Curious to hear your thoughts and reasonings. submitted by /u/Anni3401 [link] [comments]

I feel like BLACKPINK's contracts are probably some of the most complicated and interesting in the music industry right now. You have a major label in Korea keeping them all as a group, then you have major U.S. labels all signed to them for solo endeavors. For some of them, you also have Korean labels that are managing their solo endeavors. "JUMP," for example is released by YG Entertainment and BLACKPINK's American label Interscope Records. "like JENNIE," on the other hand, is released by Columbia Records, but under "exclusive license from OA Entertainment Inc." ("OA Ent" being Odd Atelier, Jennie's self-owned shop in Korea, I believe?). Jisoo has similar setup with BLISSOO and Warner Records. Lisa has a similar setup with Lloud and RCA Records. Rosé is the only one who doesn't self-own her sub-label, so "APT" is released by "Atlantic Recording Corporation for the World excluding Korea," because it's released by The Black Label in Korea. Rosé is especially interesting because it means she has two different labels in Korea, while the other members only have one (YG) while the other label is basically just themselves. All of this is so fascinating to me—I can't imagine how many cross-national negotiations had to happen for this. It seems far more complicated than any other setup in the music industry around the world. I'm curious if others have thoughts or if this has piqued their curiosity as well. submitted by /u/idlechungha [link] [comments]

I saw that lately many idol did the pookie challenge without collabing with fifty fifty themselves and may korean influencer also start doing it.

“Yeonakkang” is rooted in male-dominated online forums. It’s widely viewed as misogynistic, as it carries a misogynistic implication that women in their 30’s are of “no value” or “lose all sexual appeal” after they have left their 20’s. submitted by /u/avairaa [link] [comments]

For a long time I didn't know Park Hyungsik debuted as an idol. I loved him and Strong Girl Bong-soon and High society. When I got to know I was like well it makes sense. submitted by /u/DiMpLe_dolL003 [link] [comments]

3 days of looping and I still can't get enough of this album. From the intro to the last song, it's a straight 100/10. I wasn't expecting it to be this good and topping their last two comebacks for me as a whole. Not exactly comparing title tracks here btw. When I heard them add their name's meaning in the intro with ''Once you see us, you'll madly love us Twice'' I knew I was about to fall in love with this album SO HARD 😂. I'm just so proud of my Right Hand Girls (yes, I'm obsessed with this b-side so I just had to LOL) for completing this glorious decade and wish them all the very best of luck for the future 💖 Also, I find this random parallel between their first and latest album's song names kinda funny xD. submitted by /u/beelzebub2099 [link] [comments]

I’m so fucking TIRED of army pretending literally everything in kpop is something BTS did first, and any group who ever does anything is doing it because of BTS. The dumbest, most benign shit gets called btsprint. In the past two weeks I’ve seen - Spelling a fandom name with arms/bodies - Having a deep talk with your member and friend - Entire genres of music - The english language - Generic clothing options (headbands, berets, etc) - rap cyphers All used as an insult to groups in order to pretend that they’re copying bts. It’s exhausting, it’s childish. It’s dumb as hell. Stop it. Hell, even things BTS didn’t do first and we have proof of other groups doing before BTS? “Well that had no impact. BTS had the impact so they get the credit“ lmao… Grow the fuck up, I’m begging. submitted by /u/Physical_End_537 [link] [comments]
