does minju (illit) look like minho (shinee) ?

Hello everyone! We are excited to take a trip back in time to revisit some K-Pop classics once again, continuing with this rate, the "Early Gen 3" Girl Groups Rate! (If you haven't already, make sure to join r/kpoprates to ensure that you stay updated on future rate-related posts!) Quick Links: Ballot submission: Link to Reddit Chat to message a ballot // Ballot template (Google Docs ver.) // Ballot template (Pastebin) Playlists: Spotify // Youtube (Audio ver.) // Youtube (Lyrics ver.) // Youtube (MV ver.) Deadline: July 7th (Monday), 11:59 Pacific (Link to a timezone converter) How the songs were selected: We used the /r/kpop Top Ten Tuesdays results to grab the most adored songs from each of the artists on Reddit, and we also had a songlist feedback survey on /r/kpoprates to help decide the songlist! Now, without further ado, let's introduce the 55 songs (& 7 bonus songs) that were selected for this rate, ordered chronologically for each artist (artists were also ordered by debut date): . Spica: Russian Roulette You Don’t Love Me EXID: Every Night Up & Down Ah Yeah Hot Pink Night Rather Than Day DDD I Love You HelloVenus: Wiggle Wiggle I’m ill Mysterious Crayon Pop: Bar Bar Bar AOA: Miniskirt Short Hair Like a Cat Heart Attack Good Luck 10 Seconds Excuse Me FIESTAR: One More You’re Pitiful Ladies’ Code: Pretty Pretty Galaxy The Rain BESTie: Love Options Excuse me Mamamoo: Piano Man You’re the Best Décalcomanie Starry Night Egotistic Wind Flower Gogobebe HIP Laboum: Journey to Atlantis Hwi Hwi Lovelyz: Ah-Choo Destiny WoW! Now, We That Day Sonamoo: Friday Night GFriend: Me Gustas Tu Rough Navillera Fingertip Time For The Moon Night Apple Mago Brave Girls: Deepened Rollin’ We Ride Chi Mat Ba Ram After We Ride . Bonus Rate: The bonus rate is basically an extension of the main rate! There were several songs that received high praise during the songlist feedback survey that still were barely not able to make the main rate, so we have put them into the bonus rate here to give them a chance to be rated. . EXID - Lady HelloVenus - Venus Crayon Pop - FM Fiestar - Mirror Ladies’ Code - Bad Girl Laboum - Between Us GFriend - Labyrinth . The Bonus Rate is optional and you do not have to submit a score for every song in the bonus list if you do it: you can score none of them, all of them, or any number in between. You cannot give a 0 or 11 to any song in the bonus, as they are not part of the main rate. While it is optional, we hope you consider participating. Spotify playlist YouTube playlist (MV version) YouTube playlist (Audio version) YouTube playlist (Lyrics version) Rules: You must listen to and assign a score to EVERY song listed. If your ballot is missing any scores it will not be eligible and you'll be sent a message asking you to fill in the missing scores. Each song should be assigned a score between 1 to 10. Decimals up to one point are allowed but any further is a no-no – 6.9 is fine, but 6.99 is not. You can use ONE 0 and ONE 11 for the entirety of the rate, for your least favorite and most favorite song respectively - they are optional but HIGHLY encouraged if you feel some type of way about any given song! Comments are also encouraged but not required for such scores (except if you give a song a 0). Comments are encouraged and much appreciated (but not required, except for if you give a 0) and can be added to any song by simply typing after the numerical score, like so: Hip: 2.4 Ofc the title track that utilizes Mamamoo's vocal power the least ends up becoming the most popular (yells angrily at cloud) This is the ONLY correct way to format a comment. Please do not include colons (ex. 9: I stan!), dashes (ex. 3.3 - This song sucks), or any other symbol after your score/before your comment as it breaks the program. You can also give comments for individual artists! Just write your comment after the :, such as the following: EXID: Are they pronounced like "exit" or are you supposed to say every letter separately? I'll never know For this rate and most future rates, we have a ballot average minimum of 4.00. In addition, if your ballot average is between 4.00-5.50, you must leave comments on your lower scores (which we define as any score that's a 3 or lower). {Do not worry about having to calculate your ballot average, once you submit your ballot, we will tell you if you need to make changes to your ballot for it to be accepted.} SUBMITTING A BALLOT: * Link to Reddit Chat to message a ballot As Reddit is (unfortunately) moving away from the private messaging system in favor of utilizing the Reddit chat system, we are forced to also adopt the Reddit chat system for messaging. You can make a copy of either the Google Docs or Pastebin ballot templates below, add your scores on your local copy/file, and send the link to your local copy/file in your Reddit Chat message to u/KpopRates_Ghost. * Google Docs ballot template * Pastebin ballot template Google spreadsheet template that you can use to calculate averages, record scores, and make predictions Alternatively, if you have Discord, you can message the link to your ballot to both the rate hosts, @Zypker124 and @aidshha. You can also submit the top/bottom 5 prediction form at any time. DUE DATE: Monday, July 7th, by 11:59 PM Pacific - This will be the FINAL deadline, no extensions will be given this time!

Articles / Timeline 250422 This day marks one year since HYBE launched their audit of Min Hee Jin and ADOR's management. Happy(?) 1st anniversary of the Megathreads! 250502 The 3rd hearing for Min Hee Jin vs. Belift Lab was set to take place but postponed to July 18th at Belift Lab's request. Each side is due to present their arguments/documents regarding plagiarism issues at the next meeting. (Source: Maeil Kyungjae) 250530 We learned that ADOR had filed for 'indirect enforcement' after their injunction was granted and NewJeans performed at ComplexCon back in March (Filed on April 4th according to the statement from NewJeans' representatives linked below). On the 30th, the 52nd Division of the Seoul Central District court further granted this request. The 'indirect enforcement' ruling means that each individual member of NewJeans will be fined 1 billion won (approx. $725,000) if they continue with entertainment activities independent of ADOR, which would be in violation of the injunction. This enforcement with potential fines does NOT apply to any of NewJeans' independent activities between the granting of the injunction and the granting of this 'indirect enforcement'. These fines will only apply to future activities going forward, or at least until rulings with NewJeans' appeal or the main contract validity case changes anything (next hearing on June 5th). (Source: Chosun Biz, MK Sports) The Korea Herald: Court orders NewJeans to pay Ador 1 billion won for each unauthorized activity Discussion Post Korea JoongAng Daily: Court orders NewJeans members to pay ADOR $725,600 for every independent entertainment activity A statement by NewJeans' representatives was made later in the day primarily acknowledging the indirect enforcement ruling, but reiterating that it is temporary and will no longer have an effect if NewJeans win their appeal of the injunction. (Source: Ilgan Sports) The 2nd hearing for Source Music's damages lawsuit against Min Hee Jin took place at the 12th Civil Affairs Division of the Seoul Western District Court. (Quick recap: 1st was January 10th, 2nd was previously scheduled for March 14th, postponed per Source Music's request). Legal representatives were present. Source Music had a 20-minute presentation prepared, but Min Hee Jin's representatives objected to the inclusion of KakaoTalk messages in the presentation. They claimed the messages were illegally obtained and requested the hearing to be closed/private. Source Music denied the messages were obtained illegally, claiming they were gained from company devices with consent. The court went with a temporary compromise to keep the hearing public, but not allow discussion/display of the messages until they were reviewed again. A special hearing to review the messages will take place June 27th. (Source: Sports Today) 250605 The Seoul Central District Court Division 41 held the second hearing for ADOR seeking confirmation of validity for their exclusive contract with NewJeans. Only legal representatives were in attendance. NewJeans' side primarily argued that ADOR had not met their obligations and that their evidence they were preparing to support NewJeans' activities, like finding a new producer, was inadequate. ADOR's side argued that NewJeans' reasons for allegedly terminating their contract continually changed, indicating they are arbitrary and being made up with retroactive hindsight. The issue of some evidence being collected illegally also came up again from NewJeans' side. Judge Jung Hoe-Il specifically inquired if both/either sides were willing to come to an agreement, encouraging them to do so. NewJeans' representatives strongly indicated this was unlikely as the trust in ADOR had completely collapsed. ADOR's representatives indicated they could see negotiating an agreement once the court comes to a final decision. The 3rd hearing was set for July 24th. (Sources: X Sport News, Maeil Kyungjae) 250612 The next hearing regarding the Shareholder Agreement termination and exercising put/call options lawsuits between HYBE and Min Hee Jin was held at the Seoul Central District Court's 31st Division. Arguments from each side mostly re-tread what we've already covered. HYBE's side argued they were justified in ending the shareholder agreement due to the threat Min Hee Jin posed to the company. Min Hee Hin's side argued the timing of the audit/termination did not align purely with that concern and that some KakaoTalk messages and emails were obtained illegally and not admissable as evidence. HYBE also indicated they had a witness to give testimony at the next meeting, which the court accepted. The next hearing with closing arguments, was set for September 11th for both lawsuits. (Sources: Maeil Kyungjae, TV Daily, Sports Today) 250617 Following up from April 16th when NewJeans appealed the court's decision to uphold the injunction and halt on their independent activities, the Seoul High Court reaffirmed the earlier decision. The court rejected NewJeans' appeal. They determined there was no significant change in the material/arguments presented for the appeal and the original decision to grant ADOR's injunction was justified. There was further clarification that the management conflict between HYBE and Min Hee Jin, and her no longer being NewJeans' producer, did not constitute a valid argument for the alleged collapse of trust between ADOR and NewJeans. The group's withdrawal from ADOR is considered arbitrary, that their artistic freedom or activity is not impeded since they are able to do so within their exclusive contract, and that any damages resulting from attempting independent activities are self-inflicted.

Today, during Han's birthday livestream, Han said that one of his nicknames was *bug*. Someone on camera advised him not to, he giggled, and wrote it anyways. That was it. But the way some people are blowing this out of proportion, oh my god... Tons of comments championing for him, saying that he can write anything he wants cause he's adult, how they can do whatever they want cause they make JYP all their money or yada yada yada... Guys... Calm. Down. It's literally common PR stuff. It's not even a K-Pop thing, it happens all the time in the western too. Adele is not allowed to use her own instagram. Taylor Swift always jokes how she doesn't do anything unless Tree Paine allows her to. Billie Eilish deletes stuff from her TikTok all the time... It's literally the most common and harmless PR thing ever to advise a celebrity on their image. It's just to keep them brand safe and keep those ambadorships coming, please. I get that some groups are mistreated by their labels, but there is not a sign of Stray Kids being the case. They renewed their contract with JYP. They teased JYP and their managers to no end. BangChan has asked several times to stop the hate towards the company... So why people keep behaving like there's some sort of battle to be fought? T_T Stop being an JYP anti, it literally only harms the kids. I don't know who needs to hear this, but when a company gets a bad rep, it harms EVERYONE on that company. Promotions become harder to book, sponsorships becomes more sparse, resources get limited... Please, I know that a lot of you care about the kids, but there's literally no fight to be fought here. Just listen to Bang Chan and stop with the hate. submitted by /u/FitCarpenter6802 [link] [comments]

Is Taemin the idol with the most memes? He has not one, not two, but so so many iconic memes that non-fans all know bc he's such a weird and unintentionally funny guy who's been around for so long. May he continue providing us with ridiculous memes for years to come 🙏 submitted by /u/chocolatetomatoes [link] [comments]

This is coming up with aespa "Rich Man" but okay, let's also look at ARTMS who reddit is way less likely to say negative stuff about. aespa "Rich Man," Good Morning America: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0L8zr3no5Q ARTMS "Burn", Good Day New York: https://youtu.be/_mPRQRSRh2M Relatedly -- I'll include since it's timely -- LSF "Hot" + "Antifragile" on America's Got Talent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtMGh0fOO7o So firstly some background on these shows (except for AGT), these are incredibly boring morning TV shows that just happen to be on while you're eating breakfast or getting your kids ready for school or something. The local one at least tells you if you need an umbrella. The national one, no clue, I guess it's designed to never quite be so boring you need to change the channel. Honestly my whole theory is kpop has a big competitive advance on these shows by being not-boring to half-glance at while it's on. So take a look here's some new Ourii who ARTMS won that morning, from "Burn" YT comments: When I was getting my children get ready for school, I turned on the TV to watch some news and I wasn’t expecting some good music to light up my morning haha! I’m glad i found the name of this song, so catchy! Anyway, what I like about all these shows is the fact the stages are less optimized for music shows and the film crew aren't up to date with latest kpopology is you actually wind up getting a recording a lot closer to a "dance practice" video in cinematography. So with both ARTMS / aespa smaller stage and wider camera angle keeps the whole group on camera pretty much the whole time that means you get to watch your bias the whole time and some performers (and I really do mean Giselle here) have really good performance vibes when they're not center stage so it's just fun to be able to watch them throughout no backup dancers, which I think is cool, shows the choreo more, and closer to the dance practice vibe Something the show with ARTMS did but not aespa's show is a mini-interview, just 2 questions. But check youtube, that's the most re-watched part of the performance. (They got flustered at an English question, which according to Jinsoul in a later post were off-script, so, flustered.) Plus in both these cases, if you're an American up to date on your groups' schedules, you could make the audiences in the morning. I think there's overall some effect for seeing kpop outside its natural habitat, like woo we're legit even for people who don't know how to run a whole kpop music show program. Also honestly there's no purer joy in kpop than int'l fans finding their faves on some random show. Here's another time aespa got featured on some random non-kpop show (@theonlymajed) and the whole damn kpop fandom showed up in the comments https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OM-nUv50CWU submitted by /u/abyssazaur [link] [comments]

the recent discussion regarding rescense reminded me how there was a similar case with fantasy boys. i checked out their socials and it looks like they're still active? does anyone know if there was ever a conclusion to what was going on? submitted by /u/CoconutLast9131 [link] [comments]

Idk bout y'all but i hate to admit when i see compilations idols being dirty minded and freaky,i was like in denial and think they just make normal joke and refuse to think they're like normal grown adults,i mean to be fair,they're idols which what they say can carry huge consequences in today's gen so like i doubt they will get away for making dirty joke.I dont think they're dirty jokes at all or them being freaky in front of camera to begin with😅 submitted by /u/https-rose [link] [comments]

Hey guys I've been a kpop fan since 2018, and I must say there have been many changes to the kpop industry over the years, both good and bad. I wanna talk about one bad difference I've noticed though, and it's the way groups seem to care more about what's trending aesthetically and musically than actually having a brand identity or musical sound. So many groups sound similar to me sometimes because they do the same musical genre in the same comeback era. I will be watching an mv for group A and it reminds me of Group B's mv or song they had. I remember watching a stayc mv (either this year or last year) and some of the editing reminded me of aespa's whiplash mv. Sometimes the outfits get repeated between groups so much it's crazy. Accusations of plagiarism have always existed in this space of course, but I feel like they've increased and its no surprise because groups keeps doing the same trending things musically and visually with slight changes so it doesn't look too similar (which barely works btw) Groups who use to have an iconic sound or look have either lost those unique elements in pursuit of the trending y2k/hiphop/cybersiglism metalic looking aesthetics or stopped being active or popular overall. Its sad to me. That's what made certain groups fun to me. I use to love redvelvet's scary cute concept, or ateez being pirates, Izone's elegant concept, Itzy's confident concept with the runway type of music they had (idk the specific genre name, but like in wannabe) or even Kard's Latin sound or dreamcatchers metal/rock thing they had going on. I miss that stuff. Only a few groups have been consistent with a sound or aesthetic tbh like txt, enhypen, triple s, stray kids (to a degree), illit, newjeans (when they were active) etc, but I wish more groups would embrace being different. I dont hate these groups, I just hate the direction management across the different companies are going with them. submitted by /u/EnvironmentLife4455 [link] [comments]

It is called "On Our Own" It was released in July this year and has been getting popular. I have readers from Canada, Egypt, Indonesia, Romania, UK, America. It's crazy! Anyways, I want to make a second one but at the same time, I want to bring the fandom kpop stans together so we (Yes, we) can discuss these issues, enjoy the book and have fun. So, I made a discord server. I'll link it at the bottom. I'll also link the book at the bottom too. There is some triggering content but it is not often and only appears once or twice. Here are some idols who feature in it (DISCLAIMER: These idols are not like this in real life, I just used who I thought would suit it best and just gave them a completely different character!!!) - Han Jisung (Stray Kids) - Jihyo (Twice) - Ni-ki (Enhypen) - Chaewon (Le Sserafim) - Kyujin (Nmixx) - Winter (aespa) - Yeonjun (TxT) And many more!
