I’ve always been a fan of the creative promotions and unique ideas that K-pop idols bring to everything they release. We all know that Aespa has a very strong and creative promotion and planning team—ever since the Supernova era! (for me) But this comeback they leveled up like 100 floors above everyone else in the industry when it comes to marketing and promotions. The variety of unique promotion tactics, the fresh but different social media content, the merchandise and album designs—the fonts, colors, and every detail—are all perfectly executed and truly stand out. Cinematic and thematic films, Layered and diverse teasers, lychee Rich Truck Campaign in Seoul, aespa WEEK RichMan pop-ups, rhythm game demos, and customize merch (these pop-up stores will also appear in Los Angeles, New York, and several Chinese cities—a global experiential rollout.) Rich Man is available in three primary versions: ENERGY, BURST, and RICH MAN BAG, each packed with different merch like photo cards, stickers, and bags. According to fandom wiki, there are 15 total physical versions when including sub-variants—indicating a highly collectible and fan-oriented strategy. And that's why the album racked up over 1.11 million pre-orders. All in all they are doing — Rich Man experimental pop-up stores, interactive digital showcases, and global offline activations (in Seoul, New York, LA, Beijing, etc), themed trucks, VR/AR showcases), instead of the usual press conference + showcase format. Other companies should really learn and evolve, as creativity often falls flat in the promotion and merchandise of most groups’ albums. World is evolving dawg and fans are paying their hard earned money on all these, try to be creative! I preordered the RichMan Album btw so I am excited, at least my money is paid off for some good work. submitted by /u/Daddy1007a [link] [comments]

Do Idols not have managers regarding their own accounts? Karina's political post and Chaewon's dog video are two major examples that have tainted their images quite a lot. Its crazy how idols from two major labels have fumbled with something so simple. submitted by /u/Decent-Depth-1423 [link] [comments]

James (CORTIS) It's James from newly debuted CORTIS. It's 14th October 2005. I knew Jimin (BTS)'s birthday is a day before mine and Heeseung (ENHYPEN)'s is a day after. This random YT shorts popped up of CORTIS members' info and the eldest member James is henceforth my birthday twin. submitted by /u/Short_Mind_8233 [link] [comments]

I feel like in kpop idols in general have really toxic relationships with food, due to the pressures from the media, fans, and culture in general. I'm curios to know which idols in your favorite groups have the healthiest relationship with food? 1 would be the most and last would be the least healthy. submitted by /u/Sea-Republic8892 [link] [comments]

So yeah we a lot of us know about the theory where if Clark Kent participated in a Superman lookalike contest he wouldn't even win and since there have been some (embarassing) kpop lookalike contests that happened before, who are some K-pop idols that wouldnt score first place in their own lookalike contest? Honestly, Psy and JYP or some of the best candidates for this. A lot of K-pop idols have very recognizable faces and its easy to tell the difference between an actual K-pop idol and some normal guy pretending to be one. But then you have idols with lookalikes...like Minhyuk from BTOB who is basically a buff Soobin. I mean the resemblance is SOO uncanny especially from certain angles ngl. submitted by /u/KwonSoo-young [link] [comments]

This complain seems to pop up everytime aespa releases something nowadays, but I just don’t buy it. Not that I DON’T like Kwangya. I just find it ironic, because kpop stans were extremely critical of aespa initially. Just take a look at old threads about aespa on Reddit. Black Mamba was called “generic”, Next Level was looked down upon (“why can’t people make normal songs anymore” popped up a lot……), and Savage was called cringe. So I don’t think kpop stans liked the Kwangya concept. They like nostalgia, they like saying that they were here when this happened, but I don’t think they know how to enjoy a song in the moment, as it is happening. I can’t think of very many kpop songs now considered iconic that were universally praised upon release, despite what people will say later. Remember, it’s not about liking or not something, everyone has different opinions about this, it’s more about revisionism. submitted by /u/beautyandmadness [link] [comments]

So this post was inspired from this meme from a circle jerk subreddit and found it funny I frequent film photography, piracy and kpop subreddits that have existed for a long time and many of these subreddits have existing subject threads and a plethora of information on the sidebars of the subreddit. However, I find that many user for the life of them cannot figure out how search works or how to search for keywords relevant to what they're looking for. I've seen people just post cameras and ask what camera is this with the entire name of the camera on the face of the camera or they post a picture of someone who has direct flash on them and ask how they get the effect when it's literally just direct flash on someone as if it's something special??? Or if it's kpop subreddits people who ask if there's any safe kpop stores they can order from but don't indicate what country they're from or if they're fine with international stores with free shipping over a certain amount or what the general budget is. There's also questions about group members on their activities and solo projects or asking about on a groups subreddit about lore/history or earlier content even though you could look to the right and see an archive list or member profile page linked. You just see the same questions asked over and over and over and you just wonder if people are trolling or something. meanwhile the piracy and datahoarder subreddit have people asking what they should pirate or save not even just how like ?????? why are you asking other people what you should download or save are you ok??? Like I get it if they want to get subjective answers and just talk to people about a topic but there's an insane amount of people asking about the same objective questions everyday or ask questions that have been answered before and it would be quicker to make an effort to search for things rather than make a post and wait for someone to maybe answer but nah lemme post another one. Something something this one is mine and shiny. Is this like a UI thing like people just miss the search function up top, tech or like website navigation literacy? Do people just not bother to look for hobby wikis, blogs or old forum posts about their interests anymore? Anyways please start using that bar above or a search engine it’s really useful and you don’t really need spam your own thread asking a question to something that has decades of news articles and conversations around it. You can also find a lot of fascinating conversations that were held in the past or blogs that give a snapshot to what fan culture was like. submitted by /u/moomoomilky1 [link] [comments]
