ifeye TAERIN, MEU, SASHA - Say Yeah (orig. Troyboi) (PERFORMANCE VIDEO)

Maybe that’s the reason I like it as it’s been the first solo bts release to catch my attention. I came across the song on social media,mainly from dance challenges and I thought it’s quite catchy. I feel like it’s an upbeat version of lisa’s rockstar. Both songs have similar vibes to me along with their music videos. I don’t know how to explain and it’s not meant as a drag either,I just feel like the songs are in some way connected to each other musically . I loved rockstar and I’m glad to find songs with similar vibes. I honestly wish j-hope goes down this route even though I noticed from reddit threads this song wasn’t as well received as his previous ones (which I haven’t listened so I don’t have an opinion). The choreography is also really good. I wish I could learn it but it’s really difficult and I’ve never danced in my life. The dance challenges really drew me into the song submitted by /u/Alive-Pitch-9180 [link] [comments]

ITZY. Yes, I know- MBMB for this. But hear me out: what if the recent debacle with ITZY is part of the new BLU:M strategy for them. They’ve reached a point where literally anything they put out is going to be heavily critiqued online—whether it has GP appeal or not. That much should be clear by now. So what if they’re leaning into that narrative instead of fighting it? Take the latest MV—minimal ads, but 90M+ views on IG. That kind of performance spike doesn’t fully make sense, and it’s become a talking point online. Maybe it is organic. But if it’s not, maybe it’s a deliberate play to generate more attention. The more people say “ITZY is flopping,” because of this, the more people are paying attention. Even hate engagement is engagement. And individual members (Ryujin, Yuna, even Yeji) seem to be positioned more clearly now for solo trajectories—Ryujin and Yuna with acting, and possibly Yeji with her next solo comeback. Individually the hate is minimal and they have great reputations in the industry from what we can see. ITZY have a strong stable fanbase, post-sneakers, which acts as a buffer. The “group flop” angle is being used to subtly shift the focus from the group as a unit to the individual brands. Because there is no way in hell, ITZY or management don't know what ppl say about them online. What I think is that they will continue to make music catered to their own fanbase, but do random things like this to stir hate and stay relevant as "flops". Disclaimer: I am not saying they are "flops" but going of mass opinion online. Just an idea , but curious what others think. Do you think this is a stretch, or is there some logic here from a PR/social media standpoint? submitted by /u/Glum_Significance834 [link] [comments]

Yes i want to stan them again because i really love their music and their concept, but hadn't been interacting with them since what happened with the live, and i just saw that Julie made another apology video, and i'm not an african-american so i wanted to know what the ppl who were hurt by this thought about this and did they accepted the video as an apology cuz i had exams at that time and couldn't see what ppl thought. submitted by /u/Mountain_Web_8772 [link] [comments]

This is inspired by my other post abt songs you want idols to cover Ariana Grande x "Mean girls" Katseye Beyoncé × "Butterfly" LOONA 3.Olivia Rodrigo × "StayC's "ASAP" "Drunk-Dazed" × Imagine Dragons Dua Lipa × “Antifragile” Lesserafim Charli XCX × “Next Level” Aespa submitted by /u/AvocadoFun3905 [link] [comments]

The rules are: 1. The soloist must be a part of (or at the time of the song release) an active group that has comebacks, goes on tours or promotes as a group(E.g BTS, Blackpink) 2. Can be a song that they covered rather than their own (e.g Enhypen Jake - I don't think i'm okay) My personal favourites are 1. Raise y_our glass (original) and Last Christmas (original by Wham!) by Huh Yunjin (Le Sserafim) 2. All of me (original by John Legend) and What other people say (original by Demi Lovato and Sam Fischer) by Pharita (Babymonster) 3. Look alive (original by Joyner Lucas) by Asa(Babymonster) 4. Fine by Taeyon (SNSD) 5. Hard to Love by Rosé (Blackpink) 6. Maria by Hwasa (Mamamoo) submitted by /u/AvocadoFun3905 [link] [comments]

I don’t post much, but I’ve been thinking a lot about something Junhan said recently in a Bubble Q&A and wanted to talk about it a bit. I’m not here to hate or start drama just to share how it made me feel and why I think it’s worth discussing. He was responding to a fan question about research topics and started talking about how different races supposedly have different "genetic strengths." He said something along the lines of Black people having more ear cells so they’re better at music, white people being good at breaking down sugar, and Asians/Indians having "skilled brains." Then he wondered if those strengths could be combined. I know some fans saw it as harmless curiosity, and I get that he probably didn’t mean anything bad. But for me, it still felt really off. Comments like that even when they sound “positive” are rooted in old stereotypes. Saying certain races are naturally better at specific things might sound flattering on the surface, but it still boxes people in and reduces them to their race. It just made me uncomfortable. I’ve spent years trying to unlearn that kind of thinking, and it was honestly a little disheartening to see it come up so casually from someone with a global platform in 2025. I don’t think he’s a bad person at all but that’s kind of the point. A lot of people repeat ideas like this without realizing the history and harm behind them. What also bothered me is how little response there’s been. No clear apology, just a vague follow-up. And I think that’s a missed opportunity. Idols today have huge, diverse audiences, and that comes with responsibility. Not just to avoid scandals, but to actually understand why some things are harmful in the first place. Again, this isn’t about attacking Junhan. I hope he gets a chance to learn from it. But I do think fans should be able to talk about stuff like this without it being seen as “overreacting” or trying to cancel someone. These conversations matter. pd: I actually posted a version of this before, but it got removed probably for wording or being too direct so I’ve rephrased it here in a calmer way. Hopefully this one sticks, because I think it’s important we’re able to have open, respectful discussions like this. submitted by /u/Seesawey [link] [comments]

i got introduced to SuJu by my homeboy Elliot (he even has the nickname SuJew/Super Jewnior bc he's half Korean (dad) half French/Dutch/German/Norwegian/etc. and Ashkenazi Jewish (mother) therefore making Elliot Jewish) Elliot is aware of how problematic SuJu are, but he still is a HUGE fan of them (iirc i think theyre called "ELFs") and has their posters, lightstick and the Super Junior theme in our K-pop group themed friend group (my theme is Stray Kids) yes ik its basic to like the songs "knock out", "mr simple", "sorry sorry", "super girl" and im addicated to "house party" "cooking cooking" (i would LOVE some recs) ik bts, maybe skz, bigbang (the theme of one of my other friends), exo, bp maybe, are/were also problematic yet i never had a problem w those 3 (except scumri and kris poo for obvious reasons), so should I still be wanting to get into SuJu? or should i js stick w skz? submitted by /u/Minute_Ice_7434 [link] [comments]

I usually just lurk here, but after reading what Junhan said in that Bubble Q&A, I couldn’t stay quiet. Basically, he was answering a fan question about research topics, and he started talking about how different races supposedly have different "genetic strengths." He said something like, “Black people have more ear cells so they’re better at music,” and went on to say things about white people being good at breaking down sugar, and Asians and Indians having “skilled brains.” Then he wondered if we could combine those “advantages.” I genuinely couldn’t believe what I was reading. I know some people are saying it was just curiosity or that he didn’t mean harm, but that’s exactly the issue. This kind of mindset — that people are biologically wired to be better at certain things just because of their race — is not harmless. It's the same thinking that has been used for centuries to justify racism and inequality. Whether it's said with good intentions or not, it still reinforces harmful stereotypes. Reading it just made me feel... uncomfortable and sad. I’ve spent years unlearning this kind of stuff. And seeing someone young, in 2025, with a global audience, casually saying this felt like a punch to the gut. You’d expect someone in his position to have at least some awareness of how wrong that is. I’m not trying to attack him, but this needs to be called out. Saying things like “Black people are naturally good at music” or “Asians are smarter” might sound like compliments, but they’re not. They reduce people to their race. They erase individuality. And they carry so much baggage, whether people realize it or not. What bothers me even more is how quiet everything has been. No real apology, no acknowledgment of how messed up that statement was. Just a vague explanation. That’s not enough. If idols are going to have global platforms, then companies need to educate them properly. Not just on how to avoid scandals, but on why these kinds of ideas are so harmful in the first place. I really hope Junhan takes the time to understand why what he said was wrong, and that this doesn’t just get swept under the rug. Because this shouldn’t be something fans just excuse and move on from. We all deserve better than that. submitted by /u/Seesawey [link] [comments]

I found a good third party site that actually does a proper job compiling every new release by artists I follow, unlike anything Spotify seems to bother doing themselves. Except old Twice songs seem to be rereleased on random compilations every other week! "Vatertag Sommerhits" "Platinum Pop" "GO WITH THE FLOW - Pop" "Summer 2025 - 100 Top Songs" "Some Great Pop" "Fresh Out" "Kesä 2025" "pop pulse deluxe" And on and on and on. So frustrating. Aespa aren't quite as bad but they seem to have a bit of this too, from the groups I've added so far. At a certain level of popularity does every K-pop group do this?? submitted by /u/bravetherainbro [link] [comments]
