any kpop events happening in bangkok on July?

I am talking about JYPE divisions, I know that SQU4D did try to cater to general public's taste and trends by releasing Roller Coaster( predictable and nice sound), Love me like this (repetitive chorus, no switch ups, it did go viral). But after Dash they firmly grabbed that direction and are just powering through everything. I love that direction honestly (I am fan of both groups). Now, Itzy's situation is not quite the same. To be frank, they don't have the same grace public gives to Nmixx as one of the best vocalists nor as "younger" group that might still take off (personally, Nmixx is in the very good place, right now, for frequently experimenting groups). Still, I wish Blum would just ignore baseless negative opinion and stick to one direction they deem best, which will retain current fans and attract new. The fanbase is pretty loyal and ready to like almost anything they produce, in my humble observation, so I hope they'll stop listening to confusing feedback where Sneakers chart in Korea, but not so much worldwide while Cake does get into top 100 in some charts but isn't received well majorly due to Cake Cake Cake. I am saying that many of their songs are super fun and good quality, even if they don't go viral. I really liked Untouchable, Mr. Vampire was super fresh, Imaginary Friends is my anthem. They should evolve Itzy's sound without a care for non constructive criticism and acknowledge some of the valid suggestions. From I what see and somewhat agree: 1. Give Itzy songs that fit their vocal range. Get the producer that is familiar with their range and produce the song for them. Sometimes(Cheshire) their voices do sound nasal of pitchy, while I don't really pay attention to that, it's important to get a better reception eventually. 2. Improve the creative process and shy away from their existing "formulas", it's time to go va banque. Don't get me wrong, their albums are always cohesive and many B-sides are a treat. I just wish they didn't solely focus on making title track that's meant to go viral due to "catchy" but awkwardly integrated parts. Perhaps, it's just my gripe, but I do miss choruses with fuller sound and melody. Anyways, maybe this one is 50/50. 3. I kinda wish they would post Japanese releases to their official channels, they don't get much loves despite being so good! Ringo, Bla Bla Bla, Sugarholic, Algorithm - all of them are such a treat and deserve wider range of promotion. Anyways, I might be wrong or perhaps I said nothing new, let me know your takes too. My final message: BLUM stop stressing, Itzy are fine and they can still climb higher. submitted by /u/slackeronvacation [link] [comments]

Why does everyone suddenly hate cute concept / cute songs? I’ve noticed ever since illits “do the dance” and hearts2hearts style, everyone on twitter (certain Stan’s) are calling it “toddler music/nursery rhymes”. As if groups haven’t been making cute girly music since years ago… why all of a sudden the uproar for this specific music style? They’re praising All day project for bringing back “grown music”. Like girl these groups have different styles… It’s just infuriating seeing all these twitter Stan’s and antis disregard an entire concept. It’s mostly men I’ve noticed behind these accounts with the viral tweets against cute songs. submitted by /u/Ineedhelp23413r828 [link] [comments]

Not gonna name the group because it'll just start an unnecessary hate train. I've always known idols are put through hell and back with diets and surgeries to have their unachievable look, but being put face to face with them also using a filter to just slightly thin and lengthen their already thin thighs? The difference was so small, and it's crazy none of the comment said anything about the glitch. The comments were actually praising the idols for their looks/figures. What's really done it though is now I can't help but notice these filters on every other dance challenge from different groups (both female and male artists). The vertical stretch or overly face slimming is crazy uncanny and I can't believe I just never noticed it. Some of these artists I've seen in person and just figured me thinking they looked shorter, etc than I expected was on me. Maybe I noticed something seemed a little odd in a video but the comments never said anything so I figured why bother. But they're putting on crazy filters and I don't see anyone acknowledging it! I feel like my eyes were opened and are being held open and I just cannot see things the same. Their legs are long for days and they have giant shoes and yet no one else is noticing how weird it looks?? Not to say I'm not still listening to and enjoying the music but things like buying merch or attending every concert had already been slowing down for me and this sorta sealed the deal. I kinda can't believe how in the fog I've been and I'm kinda glad this one small glitch took me out of it so I can just step back and be reminded this is what the industry is. Like I knew how fake the industry was but now I actually have it in mind! submitted by /u/joyleaf [link] [comments]

Chat, is this even reyal? This highlights the complex and problematic dynamics between idols, agencies, and their dedicated fanbases in the K-pop industry. submitted by /u/Stock-Command-1187 [link] [comments]

This may seem like a very weird question but I had a friend (friend X) who told me a few days ago that an idol (idol X)I like is dating another idol (idol Y). I won't be revealing names but heres the general gist. Friend X, told me her friend (friend Y) that I don't know showed her a picture on her phone of idol X and idol Y. Friend X didn't tell me if the idols were in a certain type of action but from what she told me, they're dating. Basically, friend Y is borderline saesang. Friend Y is a station head that runs like high quality photos of idols in private and public, either like at airports, flights, restraunts or even like filming sets and neighborhoods. Disclaimer: I don't know friend Y at all so I don't know what level she is at but friend X told me that friend Y spent around 100k usd on these idols (and others). So I don't mind idols dating at all and don't overthink but friend X told me the idols have been dating for two years. If this whole thing is true, that would mean one of the idols would've been a minor (around beginning highschool age) and one would've been around graduating college age if they were dating (yes the age gap is quite big). It also kind of bothers me that one of the idols is literally my age and I would never date someone who has that age gap with me. In conclusion, I want to keep liking and crushing? on idol X but I feel a little conflicted. I've liked the idol for around 5 years now and I've spent a lot on the group that the idol is in. If the two are really dating, I wouldn't really mind that much except for how I would feel a little weird for liking someone who is taken. Any thoughts on this and how I should view this whole situation? The whole thing for me is I don't like how one of the idols is my age and how I feel kind of uncomfortable? for liking the idol (like visualwise + omg x is so hot and cute wise). I'm not actually like omg I'm gonna mary and date and I want the idol I want to myself kind of like but it still feels weird if yk what I mean. submitted by /u/Super-Description317 [link] [comments]

For me it's the Red Velvet Psycho teaser images. Everyone looked beautiful in a very eerie way. I also feel like I gravitate more towards GG concept looks. What are some of of yours? submitted by /u/Chutneysandwich16 [link] [comments]

I have noticed that BTS solo projects have not gotten any major critical attention. Pitchfork didn't even review them. Fantano reacted to a few songs but didn't give them an official review as compared to Lisa's new album which Fantano didn't review himself he had his friend review it giving the album exposure to his audience. AOTY.org is a music review + music record keeping site. A site like this also makes an aggregate of all the reviews different artists and albums have gotten. You have year end lists, mid year lists, best of lists, from various outlets and I noticed that critics rarely pay attention to BTS solo albums like that, barring RM and j-hope who didn't get many official reviews but some mentions in year end lists. Even then they are in best kpop lists a lot of times. Here's an official number of official critics reviews for BTS's solo albums: Indigo: 5 RPWP: 3 D-day: 3 JITB: 7 Golden: 6 Face: 3 Muse: 3 Happy: 2 Echo: 4 Layover: 3 Meanwhile these are some of the general year end list: RPWP: #16 NME, #88 Rolling Stone, Hypebeast (unranked), some genre lists like kpop, k-hip hop and attention for his MV JITB: #9 Rolling Stone, #44 NME and some genre lists like kpop, k-hip hop Layover: #19 Time Out Golden: Uproxx (unranked) Their group albums meanwhile have the following amount of official album reviews and year end lists: Love Yourself Tear: 6 | #100 Noisy Map of the Soul 7: 14 | #12 Consequence of Sound, #12 Rolling Stone, #33 Billboard, #NME, The Atlantic (unranked) BE: 13 | #53 Idolator, Esquire (unranked) The group had a bit more attention but the solo projects seem to not invite much interest. The same goes for Blackpink too: Alter Ego: 7 Ruby: 6 Rosie: 5 Amortage: 1 Meanwhile the group album had more attention: The Album: 10 Born Pink: 12 Even then I think the hype for BP solo albums in music nerd communities is more than BTS's solo albums. User reviews on AOTY: Indigo: 548 RPWP: 1233 D-day: 343 JITB: 540 Golden: 1030 Face: 635 Muse: 502 Happy: 218 Echo: 148 Layover: 516 Meanwhile Blackpink solo albums: Alter Ego: 2893 Ruby: 3805 Rosie: 2451 Amortage: 1279 I wonder why? submitted by /u/avrilsower [link] [comments]

i currently have 'my secret playlist' by odd eye circle stuck in my head! i've listened to it repeatedly, but it still plays on repeat XD so, what kpop song do you have stuck in your head right now? submitted by /u/chuuhavemyheart [link] [comments]

Also opinions on Hollow, I think it's an absolute banger submitted by /u/skzbloody [link] [comments]

Not gonna like, I'm just in the beginning stages of following up on this comeback (spoiler, I think I like Girls Will Be Girls, the chorus is too repetitive though, wished they added more lines here). But just like clockwork, here we go with all the Itzy snark and hate. I mean posts like this are obvious enough, apparently making endless theories off of some random clip, and then tying that into their lack of success. Now we also have posts like this, supposedly a critical review, which people once more tied into their lack of success. It's clockwork, people here will never miss an opportunity to make endless speculations and rationalizations surrounding their success. It's hilarious at this point. Btw, shoutout to some of the other ridiculous narratives parroted in the two threads, I can't list them all here without bloating this OP, but certainly the doomposting is inherent in passing these takes as somehow objective and analytical, instead of subjective and speculative. submitted by /u/leggoitzy [link] [comments]

I will start with this Legendary song submitted by /u/treeko_pokemaster48 [link] [comments]

My friend, for my birthday a while ago, got me tickets to this group’s concert. Now I have to go to this concert and I lowkey have a dislike for the group even though I literally had a fanpage and everything for them a while ago. I don’t know where the distain came from, it feels out of nowhere. I did have a negative experience at the first concert of theirs I went to, maybe that ruined them for me, I don’t know. I had to fly to it and the whole experience getting to the venue was blegh and I forgot my loops (I hate screaming so I usually bring headphones to block it out). I still interact with the fandom, but their fans are lowkey annoying me more than the group. The fans baby these grown men so much that I can’t interact in the fandom without getting annoyed. I’m not saying the group name for the sake of not offending fans bc I think this is more of a ‘I got bored and trying to listen again has brought annoyance’ situation. Still, I want to be into them again, I know to just ignore fans but I’m gonna have to be in a stadium with them…. TLDR; Genuinely, how can I get back into the group? Should I just wait for the concert and hope it changes my mind? I feel like I’ve genuinely started to dislike members because I’m forcing myself to try to get into them again. I’m realizing I genuinely might just not rock with them anymore but that’s upsetting to me. I bought so many albums and had a period of time where I loved their music. I want that back. submitted by /u/Green-Recognition-88 [link] [comments]
