I’m 30f, white, and have been a k-pop fan since around 2018, although I’ve had friends who’ve been into the genre for a lot longer. In fact, it wasn’t until I got into it myself that a lot of my Asian friends told me they’d been listening to k- or j-pop since high school and I had no idea at the time (they thought it was embarrassing, which is sad and a whole other issue). Anyway, I work in a pretty small office of creative types. We all have our thing—2008 alt punk bros, hipster climbing girls, then there’s me—the k-pop girl 😅 They all know I’ve been to K-pop concerts and am into the music on some level. But the perception of a lot of my fellow white people is that k-pop is for kids/teens, and that k-entertainment is juvenile in general (yet it’s fine for my mom to be obsessed with Acorn British cozy dramas and the Royals?). And the problem that I’m dealing with now is that all my coworkers have young kids. And their kids are obsessed with K-Pop Demon Hunters. I watched it—it’s objectively a good movie, but it’s just…not really my thing. Not my humor, not my style. But every DAY, without fail, someone brings the movie up to me. And I say, “yeah it’s cool, some of the songs are good.” But then they double down and keep talking to me about it? Like they’ll even start singing songs around me expecting me to join in? At this point Ive told them that I don’t even really like the movie but they KEEP GOING. I asked one guy why he keeps bringing it up around me and he said, “well, you like k-pop!” Then someone went into detail describing how cute it is that his kid wants to be Rumi (?) for Halloween and I’m just like 👍 👁️👄👁️👍 It’s starting to piss me off because my interest is already seen by these white dads as “childish” and now that their kids are obsessed with this movie I feel that this perception has been reinforced ten-fold. I guess I’m not looking for advice but wondering if any other older fans feel the same 😅 I still think the movie is overall a good thing made by a great team, and the concept is super interesting. It’s just not my taste. And because I am a “k-pop fan” I am expected to like it and relate to their children… submitted by /u/systems_processing [link] [comments]

One thing I don't like and see a lot of nowadays are people bringing unrelated groups to a discussion. I am fine with comparing groups but it's clear when people do this they are trying to steer the discussion from the groups they like to a group they don't like. They are trying to throw another group under the bus when the discussion had nothing to do with them. It creates unnecessary fanwars. This is just one of the reasons why we can't have a healthy discussion. It's also why I don't feel like commenting. submitted by /u/zifirgece [link] [comments]

So, I sent Gogae by Wonwoo to my friend and he like this song. I start to create a playlist but I want more songs but I don't have any idea. Here the songs : https://preview.redd.it/ou2ii8m92ppf1.png?width=856&format=png&auto=webp&s=62e78137d37210ae2ddfdb722223e7ff6a359236 https://preview.redd.it/tci0y9ya2ppf1.png?width=529&format=png&auto=webp&s=7e2d06d3e6f372bb8557c11c8b38b1b0933ba631 https://preview.redd.it/uxmpdtub2ppf1.png?width=396&format=png&auto=webp&s=ecc198e9096255c4ef701614e3473f33576ec265 submitted by /u/Pitiful-Ad2342 [link] [comments]

I've been thinking of this for a while. A while back, I made a Playlist of my most favourite songs from some of the groups I follow and I want to add more songs to the Playlist that are similar to the ones I've added. So I would love for some recs and I will listen to all of them and if I like them, I will add them into the Playlist. Just wanted to say its been a while since I updated it so new songs that were released might not be here submitted by /u/Bambi_HSJW [link] [comments]

I've been thinking about this a lot lately and just wanted to see what the common consensus is here. Are dress codes a good thing for concerts or do they put pressure on fans to purchase more? On one hand it's nice to see everyone uniform/similar in a venue. On the other, if the dress code is something that not many people have, there may be pressure for people to go out and buy stuff just to fit in which may affect the persons budget (considering the current economic climate and price of concerts etc). Especially if the dress code is a specific style rather than just a colour (like Kai choosing leopard print for his encore show). What do you think. A good thing or an unnecessary expense? submitted by /u/Aethermist88 [link] [comments]

I had a few specific groups in mind when I made these images but I'm curious...What groups came to your mind when you saw them? submitted by /u/YeosangYodeler [link] [comments]
