Yeeun will be hosting a special Korean language class at K Village MODULY's 2nd Online Event on October 29th

I am so excited for her, this is her first collab with another artist. I remember being surprised when zayn attended BLACKPINK concert with his daughter, but now I know he was invited by jisoo. It's a ballad song not pop , so I don't think this is for views. But I want it to be go good for her, also her full length album will be releasing at the end of this year ,so wishing her luck on that. What do u guys think about this Collab? submitted by /u/narcissawhite [link] [comments]

I've recently seen some kpop artists, being slammed or called out for wearing braids and saying the its a slur or cultural appropriation. Hani, Lisa from BP, Hwasa, Tarzzan from Alldayproject etc. So I did some checking about this issue and whilst yes white people can wear braids it's the context that can become offensive. What's your opinion? submitted by /u/JustSelection416 [link] [comments]

I know that this is "old" news and it's no secret that yedam from one pact had a crazy transformation, but I just wanted to know what kind of procedures he did and more specifically if there's any way to find out who his surgeon is, especially for K-pop celebrities because I think his change is really nice and the work was done well submitted by /u/nowallies [link] [comments]

I think Baekhyun smells good from his Candy MV. NCT DoJaeJung's Perfume MV looks so good and refreshing I can almost inhale it from the screen. Plus the others who I just KNOW they smell expensive. HBU, who do you think smell expensive? submitted by /u/Roll_Adept [link] [comments]

What are some variety show episodes you keep coming back to, and can watch over and over again. It can be a specific groups variety show, a part of an episode of a variety, a full episode, etc… For me it is the random dance from game caterers and starship and June, both of those episodes I watch countless times, and can keep going back, it’s my go to thing when I can’t think of anything in specific, want something entertaining, or just plain cool. This question was thought of after watching the starship one for the literal 25th time, and I started to wonder if anyone had something like this submitted by /u/Green_Substance766 [link] [comments]

I have heard many times that some staff talk about how some kpop groups aren’t very close to each other behind the scenes. I also once saw someone working in the industry talk about how they have only seen 2-3 groups that were genuinely close. Which kpop groups do you guys thinks are very close. If you guys want you can also mention some groups you think might be more like “coworkers” submitted by /u/urfavoritestargirl [link] [comments]

There are just too many songs these days with talk singing choruses. I guess it’s fair to say it’s been this way for the past few years, but it still pains me when I see groups with good vocalists resorting to this style. Talk singing can be effective, key phrase, at times. But most of the time, it just feels lazy especially when the entire chorus is dependent on it. Many of these songs barely pass the two minute mark and skip the bridge entirely. What we’re left with are verse 1, verse 2, and talk singing chorus sections that take up the majority of the track, monotonously repeating the same phrase over and over. The depth and complexity disappear when most of the song is built that way. There are no dynamics. I just don’t feel any emotion from them. Maybe I’m just failing to adapt to this new songwriting trend and the TikTok era. Anyone else feel the same? submitted by /u/Organic-Cranberry955 [link] [comments]

For some quick backstory, I’ve been a kpop fan since I was 13 and now, as a 21-year-old about to graduate university, it feels like my perspective on the industry has shifted and changed over time and I’m struggling to come to terms with the fact that I cannot enjoy kpop the same way I did when I was younger. In general, K-pop doesn’t feel like an escape for me anymore, but rather a constant reminder of all the problems with late-stage capitalism. It feels like it’s everywhere I turn. What was once a place I could go to escape all the issues in my life and enjoy this fantastical new thing full of these unbelievably beautiful people, catchy songs, and eye-catching performances has just turned into a reflection of all of reality's greatest issues. I’m struggling to reconcile with the divide between seeing the kpop industry for the horrible, exploitative, capitalist hell hole that it is and also finding genuine enjoyment in the genre. It just feels like the older I get, the harder and harder it becomes to ignore the problems. I’ve also come to realise that many of the problems with the toxicity of kpop fandoms themselves are a byproduct of the industry's exploitative nature. Companies are desperate to squeeze every cent of money they can out of fans, and they do this by encouraging fanwars, parasociality and devotion from fans, as doing so is effective at getting fans to stay loyal to a particular group and spend more money on them. Everything in kpop just goes back to giving these abusive, exploitive companies more money and it’s getting exhausting. From the beginning, kpop trainees, some of which are not even teenagers yet, are basically taught to morph themselves into a marketable product to be sold to consumers when/if they finally debut. They are encouraged to starve themselves, overwork their bodies to the point of exhaustion, become completely docile to the consumer and abide by their every desire, all in the name of making these big kpop companies millions of dollars, most of which these kpop idols will barely see a dime of. Obviously, not all of this is unique to the kpop industry at all, however, that doesn’t make it any less sickening. I love kpop, I truly do, and I truly do derive extreme amounts of pleasure from the genre. I think so many of my favourite idols are immensely talented and I want to be able to support them in any way I can and yet I feel like I’m actively hurting the very idols I want to support by supporting the kpop industry. Of course, I know these idols choose this path and in many cases are living out their dream that still doesn’t change the fact that the industry has or is actively exploiting them and us as fans encourage that. Yes, most kpop fans are aware of how the kpop industry is exploitative and are not opposed to criticising it, and yet it feels like nothing ever goes beyond that. As consumers, we definitely have the power to enact change and yet it feels like nothing changes. It feels like we’ve just accepted that this is a natural part of the industry and there's nothing we can do about and it just feels so bleak. I know a lot of people will declare my perspective here as overly pessimistic and say that its really not that deep and just enjoy kpop anyway if it brings me joy but isn’t that just the same as ignoring the problems? I’m not sure. I would be interested in getting some perspective from other fans here, and I want to ask if there is a way to enjoy kpop ethically? How have other kpop stans found a way to enjoy kpop while also not turning a blind eye to its embedded issues? What can we as fans do to actually mobilise substantial change? Sorry for the long post, I appreciate anyone who took the time to read it and I’d love to hear your thoughts. submitted by /u/detonatediamond [link] [comments]
