if your group’s maknae line had to rank the rest of the members of their group, what would the ranking be?

Solos: - Yujin (IVE). She's my Ult, so I'll be there day 1 for her. - Ryujin (Itzy) - I have a dream of her releasing a rap mini album with Soyeon producing. Please Kpop Gods hear my prayers. - Chaewon (LSF) - Have listened to some of her covers and collabs, she's got one of my fav voices in the industry. - Yunjin (LSF) - I like the handful of songs she has released so far, so I'm curious what she will do next. - Aespa members. I've liked each of their solos so yeah gimme more. - Shuhua (I-dle) - She's the one member yet to have a solo release and I think it's been confirmed that it is happening right? She doesn't get many lines in their songs but I do like her voice a lot. - Lilly (Nmixx) - Can see her release an album down the line, like Rosé's, and be pretty good. Subunits: - Karina and Winter (Aespa) - Akin to Irene&Seulgi if this happens it will be pretty successful, I would wager. - Yunah and Minju (IllIt). I really liked that one performance of them together in the 'R U Next?' show. I feel like they could bring something really nice and different to the table. - Asa and Ruka (Baemon) - 'Woke up in Tokyo' is a banger and I hope to see more releases of Baemon's J line in the future. submitted by /u/Lfoboros [link] [comments]

Most "kpop" songs that are very popular outside of kpop spaces are just songs in english by korean groups. What's the most kpop-like song with mostly korean lyrics that got so popular? Is it gangnam style? submitted by /u/Purple_Exit5906 [link] [comments]

Been here since late 2018 and was in a BIG deep dive during 2019-2020(might be obvious with some rankings), Honestly I wouldn't mind deep diving into some other groups in the Song or Two ranking, any recommendations based on my taste?👀 submitted by /u/Goin_Solo [link] [comments]

Lot's of fan try to force their political, moral values on K-pop idols, and tend to assume thing about their political view or ideology (I'm not a Enhypen Stan) but I see people saying Enhypen members are homophobic bc they don't part take in the ship culture. I don't care if idol are rcist, sexst or hom*phobic or anything as long as they don't show it publicly. There is a reason why idol don't talk about politics it's because, in this industry it's more profitable to not talk about it. Therefore if idols don't want to share this information let's be respectful and not assume anything. Also, international fan need to be more open minded and understand that those idol grew up in a different cultures who value different things, so ofc they might have value that conflict with your own but as I said anyway as a fan it's not our business. Idol job should only to do music and entertain. Same goes with their 'real personality' please let's understand that it's just entertainment, and again not assume anything about their real persona. This unhealthy obsession in the internet with people's morality or true personality is so toxic, because, now people are obsessed about finding a tiny mistake and make it so big, in order to be allowed to bully. I know in western country celebrities are more open about their political view but honestly I don't really think it's for moral reasons either, it's also for monetary purpose, because ever since being part of right wing party is more accepted and bring money we see more celebrity screaming out loud their support for this party, even though, it was seen as not moral in the past and still not very moral today. submitted by /u/zerolust_ [link] [comments]

When a member gets hate and it’s brought up, a lot of times, fans will say to just ignore it and stop talking about it. Their excuse is that drawing attention to it will make haters happy and cause more hate. I think fans have a self serving and selfish reason to ignore the hate. They don’t want the fandom and group to look bad especially if the hate is from solo stans. They do not care about protecting the hated member at all. They only care about protecting the fandom and group image. submitted by /u/taejinkook28 [link] [comments]

I’m sure we’ve all seen performances where some group members might have not been in attendance and the choreography was still pulled off beautifully. It’s amazing how teamwork makes the dream work. 😮 but does anyone know of any times where someone wasn’t there and when you watched the performance, you were just like, “bring them back ASAP?” submitted by /u/CeCeAlexus [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! I understand this is the album cover for Lee Know’s accordion ver, but I’ve been trying to find the full, original quality photo for ages and just can’t track it down anywhere. If anyone happens to have it or knows where I can find it, I’d really appreciate your help. Thank you so much in advance! submitted by /u/doubleblack707 [link] [comments]

https://www.topstarnews.net/news/articleView.html?idxno=15769524#_PA Here's the article source. What do you guys think? At first I was extremely against the concept but then I realized it could really give some of these groups exposure. On the other hand, Purple Kiss already announced their disbandment... idk how much this can actually help them. submitted by /u/tripbillleeSeosum_9 [link] [comments]

You know how Seinfeld stars Jerry Seinfeld as a fictionalized version of himself, and the show consists of the writers retooling their irl experiences into sitcom form that fictional Jerry Seinfeld draws his fictional comedian stand-up from? Or 30 Rock which is a satirized version of Tina Fey's SNL writer behind the scenes experience (although her character doesn't share her irl name)? Arguably Fresh Prince of BelAir too, but Will Smith's Will Smith character reportedly pulls more from Benny Medina rather than a sitcom version of Smith's own life. Which idol to you would be the most fun to make a fictionalized-version-of-themselves, and what's your pitch for the plot? You can pitch a whole group, but partially I think it's harder and therefore more interesting to pick one idol. Your human character among the muppets(not being rude about anyone played by a muppet). (Arguably a lot of kpop skit variety content is just this already. Seventeen in particular has this conceit in a pretty solid many of their Going specials, particularly their most recent Seventeen TV. If you can't think of an idol whose irl would be fun to satirize, pitch a long term plot extension for a favorite variety show skit.) submitted by /u/SomeRaceHorseName [link] [comments]

I wanted to express my frustration about seeing many groups I enjoy, such as certain bands or companies, go bankrupt and have their members go their separate ways. It's truly disheartening to watch the groups that I support sit in limbo, unsure if they will continue to exist. Over the past couple of years, I have been following many of these groups, and it's become a troubling trend to see them disappear. Often, this happens because their companies lack the funds to support them, or they aren't receiving enough attention from the public. Sometimes, it seems the companies lose faith in the groups and decide to let them go, which is discouraging. I genuinely enjoy the music these groups create and believe many others would enjoy it as well if given the chance. Unfortunately, it seems that a lack of exposure whether due to not coming from a big-name company or simply not being heard of prevents them from gaining the recognition they deserve. Currently, I’m particularly concerned about one group I love. They haven't had a comeback in a while, and I'm anxious about their future. While they remain active on social media, there hasn't been any announcement regarding a new release. Additionally, I heard that another group I like has disbanded after their company filed for bankruptcy. Their Instagram account has changed drastically, and all their posts are gone, leaving me confused about what happened. I’m trying to find answers and determine whether they are still a group or if they quietly disbanded without informing the public. Perhaps others feel the same way about different groups, and I hope someone can relate to my experience. submitted by /u/ThrowRA-Chae [link] [comments]

I’ve seen some posts asking about favorite music videos but I wanna know, what are your least favorite? Why are they your least favorite?

No hate intended! Been a Kpop stan since 2020 and I had no intention of getting into Katseye when they debuted. Then their SIS Ep finally dropped I by no means became a stan but rooted for them nonetheless (mainly because I was craving more diversity in Kpop) since they were unique from the rest of the industry. But the tonal shift of expectations amongst Katseye & other Kpop idols is the reason I’ll never get into them. They’re too sexualised for a young audience, go clubbing underage, hang out with controversial people (Eg Tara yummy and James Charles) have yoonchae wearing provocative outfits as a minor & one of the members liked a insulting post about bp; these girls literally get away with anything & everything and the fans defend them hell and back under the guise of being “western”. This isn’t normal, half of what they do would be so frowned upon if was any other idol but if anything I’ve seen people almost relieved, as if tolerating their messy behaviour will separate them from the intrinsic Korean culture within Kpop. And before i get “but the’re not Kpop!”, as far as sound, choreography, management, and promotion goes they’re a Kpop group; impressionable fans who say otherwise usually imply it backhandedly as a dig against Kpop and Korean culture itself. We’ve all seen their fans saying “I’m so glad Katseye aren’t Kpop!” To defend X behaviour, or “Katseye are so funny and talented (random kpop group) could never!” Like it’s so embarrassing. Katseye aren’t any different from other groups besides being diverse and having twerking choreo, but their fans eat it all up like its revolutionary Well… the behaviour of the girls speaks louder than the fans honestly and they continue to swear, wear provocative outfits, etc to prove they’re “western” and differentiate from the rest of Kpop. submitted by /u/Ok_Hope_5566 [link] [comments]

I know some of the girls were taken aback at it at first because it was so "extra", but I truly believe this was literally the best name chosen for them. Like they truly lived up to it and made it their own. As a linguistics nerd, i love how it translates sooo well in korean japanese and chinese (even the english name is a great translation and is so fitting) and it is fitting that this group is the eternal national gg of korea and was asia's no 1 girl group at their peak. It's not just a group name - it transcended kpop and became one of the most recognizable brand names in korea and by extension all of asia. truly one of the most timeless names ever given to any artist. submitted by /u/stuckinaluciddream [link] [comments]
