So I recently watched the Music Video for CORTIS fashion and I really like the aesthetic of it but I have no idea what that aesthetic is called. Does anyone know what it is? submitted by /u/Embarrassed_Ad_4376 [link] [comments]

fandoms say their group sold out their concert tickets in no time but if you look into it, its the scalpers who has most of the tickets and sell them for double or triple the original price. i was trying to secure a ticket for an upcoming concert and i couldnt get a single one, i spent almost five hours each day. it wasnt just me who wasnt able to secure a ticket but the other fans too. and it turns out the scalpers has more than hundreds of tickets and theyre selling it at an expensive price which not every fan can afford, leading those tickets to go to waste. submitted by /u/withinyourheart [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! This post is a weekly thread for any thoughts you might have that feel don't need a post of its own but still would like to air to the world. All rules apply, but you can discuss anything you want related to Kpop. Please be respectful and have fun! submitted by /u/KpopThoughtsmodteam [link] [comments]

This is a well-known fact, but since most fans focus on the big groups, it’s easy to overlook. Since the start of this decade, over 200 girl groups have debuted, but how many actually found decent success? Maybe a tenth of that? It's wild when you really think about it. The K-pop scene right now is basically this: Debut under the Big Four? Congrats, that’s your golden ticket. Debut under a smaller company, like the other 90% of idols? Better get friendly with Tyche, the goddess of fortune, because you’re going to need all the luck you can get. submitted by /u/Striking-Meal-5257 [link] [comments]

It’s been about 7 months since I got into kpop, somehow this year i find kpop fascinating, something I never thought I would, and tbh i think i go mainly for visual as most people do. Currently i like NewJeans & Illit visuals, perhaps i'm something of a bunnies myself, but as for their music, I don't really listen to it, kpop as genre is not really my cup of tea, I heard Ditto on repeat, as people said it was NJ best song, but I don't think the song is any good. Anyway, I want to point out aspects of kpop culture that weird me out, I learned that the way kpop industry release their music is rather unusual, for an instance Aespa had more EPs than the actual studio album, 6 EPs and only 1 studio album is absolutely a ridiculous discography. Why feel the need to drop new stuff every year? instead of dropping EP every single year, I'd rather they, or any group, took their time for 2-3 years after their last album, and then release a new album with 14 songs on it, I think that's how you do it the right way. Most kpop physical albums are bizarre tho, all those fancy packages, photobooks, photocards, and posters, only to have 4 songs on it, gimmick over music. Moreover, the way kpop fans feel compelled to always keep up with their idols, is on another level, NJ last gig was in march, and only a few days later the fans on x were like 'I miss them so bad, it’s been forever!'. Also there's a group called G-idle who dropped a new song in May and everyone's screaming 'it's a comeback!', but when I checked, their last song was in July last year, literally just months ago, a comeback? do me a favor, a comeback is when you return after disappearing for, like, years. Blackpink started their tour this year and people be like 'OMG finally! They’re reuniting!' as if they'd been separated for a decade. Reality check: their last tour was in… 2023! Music wise, to me personally, most kpop songs sound similar, you hear some random kpop song and think, is this IVE? Itzy? Twice? Newjeans? Babymonster? it could be anyone, it's wild that for years kpop industry has been making the same songs over and over again, with different titles and groups, I don't think there's a single idol who had a recognisable voice. Also, what’s with K-pop’s obsession with food?song titles like Cookie, Almond Chocolate, Bubble Gum, Jellycious, they sound like something straight out of Weird Al Yankovic. BUT there's one kpop song I actually find good, it's Cupid from FiftyFifty, I think it's a really good song, levels above most K songs, ofc APT was a banger too but somehow I don’t really count it as full kpop. I'm not a fan of today's music in general either, we are so unfortunate to be living in an era where music fell hard. Another thing I'm not into is the dancing part, I personally find kpop choreography kinda cringy and I don't really feel entertained seeing people dancing. On another note, I believe idols should have more creative input, writing songs and pitching group concepts should be part of the auditions. Speaking of creativity, I feel like kpop industry had ditched it, when an agency creates a new group the concept isn't built on ideas or creativity, it's completely based on research, they analyzed what had already worked before and what had hooked people the most, and then apply those formulas to their new group. And to put the cherry on top, what I find strange in the kpop world is the label stan. I mean, how come people stan the labels more than the artists themselves, I guess outside kpop you’ll never find anyone being an EMI stan or a Warner stan, and then proceeding to drop a whole essay just to defend them. Most of the songs on my playlist, I’m not even aware of which labels the artists are under. Kpop is really a different breed of cat. submitted by /u/Gullible-Distance594 [link] [comments]

I'd like to preface by stating that there have been times where I have had the best time in GA standing pits during K-pop concerts. I went to see Tomorrow X Together in DC this past Sunday, and being in the pit was probably the worst experience that I've at a show. Since I had a VIP 2 ticket, I was told that check-in would begin at 8am. Despite a few line cutters, the check-in process was smooth. I showed up at 7:45am, and ended up being #258 in line for VIP 2. After check-in, we were allowed to leave, get food or rest, etc. We just had to return at 3:00pm to queue for soundcheck. Everything leading up to soundcheck was fine. Fans were friendly, but the kindness quickly deteriorated once soundcheck ended. I went to the bathroom because we had two more hours of standing before the show was set to begin. I did let everyone around me know that I was going, and they said they would hold my spot. When I returned, this group of women probably aged 30-50 screamed in my face, kept saying no, and pointed their fingers at me. I was utterly shocked because I was gone for two minutes, and everyone around knew that was my spot. I am 30 myself, so seeing this type of behavior from grown women was shocking. It's never that serious. They way that the women yelled was quite overwhelming, so much so that I was reduced to tears. How embarrassing for me because I should be tougher During the concert, the women got into a few arguments with others, and shoved a teenager. The teenager collapsed to the floor. Honestly, they seemed like they only cared about interactions from the group members. Even though these "fans" almost ruined the experience, I still had an incredible time for the most part and enjoyed the show. Tomorrow X Together are truly some of the best performers in K-pop. Overall, these women were straight up evil, and I hope that they all have the days that they deserve. P.s. seated pit would probably eliminate most of these problems. TLDR:Some fans do not deserve to be in GA standing pits if they are going to act like crazy fools. submitted by /u/Steffy_love [link] [comments]
