jmarlone & HVLF (KNK Jihun) - SUNRISE

It’s given that they are all rounders as idols, but apart from that their side quests really got me. Cortis Martin - he’s listed one of the main producers of some Hybe hit songs and received his royalties at age of 15 or 16 while still a trainee. He composed his first song on his 4th or 5th grade. Hori7on Marcus- he’s done broadway musicals (lion king) in 5 countries and finished senior high at 16. He wrote some of their songs as well. VVUP Kim- her academic background is impressive , a beauty and brain submitted by /u/Conscious-Cap-7250 [link] [comments]

I'll never get over her beauty and graceful movement during their live performance of The Fifth Season for M COUNTDOWN. Fancam of YooA here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjJGkPQsDSQ submitted by /u/feigneant [link] [comments]

I thought it would be fun to start a little series called “This Day in KPop”, to spark some nostalgia and remind us of the songs, trends, and chaotic news cycles we lived through the years. Kpop moves so fast that it’s easy to forget just how different each year, and even each month, felt. Hopefully this can be a fun way for us to relive those eras together and maybe even discover (or hey, even rediscover) some of the gems. 🍈 Melon Chart 🍈 Here’s a snapshot of what Korea was streaming nonstop on this exact day. These were the songs blasting in cafés, filling karaoke rooms, and looping on everyone’s MP3 players/phones. It’s always interesting to see which tracks stood the test of time and which ones feel like a total “you had to be there” moment. ✨ Today’s Top 10 ✨ [Link to full playlist] Heartbreaker - G-dragon Abracadabra - Brown Eyed Girls My Ear's Candy - Baek Ji Young Ft. Taecyeon Wanna - KARA Lies Pt. 1 - T-ARA I Don't Care - 2NE1 Mr. - KARA A Boy- G-Dragon I Hope - FT ISLAND Hello (Ft. Sandara Park) - G-Dragon At this point in time we are a month into G-Dragons first solo album promotions and he is still managing to top the charts. Girl groups like KARA, T-ARA, and 2NE1 all battling it out, and Brown Eyed Girls were really shaking things up with that iconic Abracadabra concept. Surprisingly, we ended up with *two* collab songs in today's chart! * Music Video Releases Around This Time * Heartbreaker - G-Dragon [Still hitting #1 in the music video category] Abracadabra - Brown Eyed Girls [Music video version AND Stage version have taken the #2 and #3 spots on the MV charts] Amoled - Son Dam bi & After School [Honorable mention. Managed to chart #5 in the MV category despite not charting on the overall music charts] Link to the entire INKIGAYO broadcast from this week in music! Reminder that the hit songs are usually performed towards the end, but there is so much great non-idol Korean music that its honestly worth it to listen to the whole thing if you have the time. What was in the news? Super Junior Kangin’s Assault Case Caught on CCTV! SNSD Talks About Their Legs and Won Bin Hongki's Character in "You're Beautiful" Revealed Fan tribute for Jaebeom Honorable mentions for news? 2PM is dealing with the aftermath of Jay Park departing. Lawsuits between SM Entertainment and TVXQ's Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu that erupted in the summer are currently undergoing review by the court. Back in August there was news about Rain debuting a new 5 member boy group, which how now been pushed to October of 2009. SS501's Kim Hyun Joong was diagnosed with swine flu (not serious news, but still a very "of the time" piece of news lol) I also made a short little 'Random bits' playlist from this week's time period as well! I'm really trying to keep it down to this specific date (give or take a few days), so please understand if I don't have every major thing from a specific group. Feel free to share any of your faves from around this period in time! Was thinking of making this a weekly thing where we can just dedicate some time and just remember certain groups or songs. submitted by /u/ftp_comingoa [link] [comments]

obviously not EVERY single person at their fanmeets is like this but i have seen many people who are just being nasty. not in a mean way (at least from what ive seen) and i know that its fairly common for fan servieces but the questions the minors of the group are getting asked js ick me. theyre kids and people are asking them whats the advantage of dating a younger girl? submitted by /u/Electrical_Target690 [link] [comments]

I haven't really gotten into them yet but CORTIS is seeing a lot of success right now, and I'm not just talking about between rookie groups. I mean that they're pulling crazy numbers that are already beating out established groups, it's kind of wild. They've singlehandedly occupied the Top 5 biggest streaming days for a 5th gen bg song with "GO!" (around 900K-1M daily) and "Fashion"(around 800K daily), which is crazy to think about considering they're out streaming other 5th gen boygroups that has years on them with their debut album. Their album also debuted with the highest streaming numbers for a 5th gen boy group (18M) surprising ZB1's 2 year old record with their debut album (11M). I'm pretty sure they also have the highest monthly listeners for a 5th gen boy group, and all of these numbers are STILL rising. They're getting around 2.6M-3M streams daily with just their debut album and are very quickly on their way to out stream XLOV, who is the highest streamed 2025 rookie boy group (debuted in January) by probably the end of the month. I read somewhere that they're also predicted to debut in Billboard 200 at around 15 which is insane when you think about how other very popular groups debut albums hasn't gotten anywhere near close to that. And I'm saying all of this because as someone not from the fandom, I thought with the way Kpop Stans were treating them and how they're acting, they'd be a flop! Come to find out, they're pulling all these? Yeah I guess X hate train really means nothing lmaoooo. Can't wait to really get into them! submitted by /u/kpopaddict101904 [link] [comments]

Hello all! I went to my first K-pop concert yesterday—TXT. I’m not a MOA, just a casual listener with a bias toward Soobin. Before last night, I would’ve said Yeonjun was the member I paid the least attention to. I never really connected with him in TXT content or music videos. I’d seen a fair amount, but maybe I just wasn’t immersed enough. But after the concert? His star power is undeniable. He has the kind of energy that I think could carry him into as much solo success as he wants. I also really like the direction he’s taken with his solo music—it feels fresh, and honestly, it’s something I’d love to hear more of. The whole experience has been stuck in my head all day, to the point that I had to make this post. It makes me wonder how my opinions about other idols or groups might change if I saw them live too. And honestly? I think it’s time for Yeonjun to push for a full solo project, and soon—especially before enlistment. I’d 100% go to a concert for his solo work. So, if you’ve never gone to see your faves in person, do it if you can. Concerts are a completely different experience than stanning online. submitted by /u/honeybadgerlanhua [link] [comments]

I was searching Google for Oneus Seoho to figure out what military branch he’s in. There are a lot of military performance videos with Seoho on YouTube (which is great so I don’t have to miss him too much lol), so I was wondering if he is in the band or what. Anyway, the Google AI Summary returned my Reddit posts as the top result. That’s crazy! No one should take my Reddit posts as a source of information, they should be going to the original source. Just wait until AI sees my kpoopheads posts lmfaooooo. While it’s kind of funny, it’s kind of creepy and weird too. Just another reason I won’t be trusting AI answers on Google. And I still didn’t find the answer to my question of what division Seoho is serving in 😭 submitted by /u/Funwithnugukpop [link] [comments]

What K-pop songs are some that you absolutely love that happen to have a member deep in the creative process? submitted by /u/Thick-Software-6259 [link] [comments]

I've been following this group purely because Kim In-hye is in the group and she absolutely killed it in MY TEENAGE GIRL (Seen here). I wasn't a fan of their debut song BADVILLAIN but oh my goodness Thriller seems to have the same kind of magic KOL's Igloo has. That feeling of nostalic 2000s club and Y2K if it had a baby. I don't know sonically if that's the right way to describe it, but I especially want to say how addictive that last chorus/outro is especially with the dance on the knees (purely on a visually satisfying way). submitted by /u/PoyuPoyuTetris [link] [comments]

Knowing that they’re Fifty Fifty 2.0 makes me want to support them even more. submitted by /u/Bubbly-Wolverine-396 [link] [comments]

I may change the flair on this (if I need to) because I’m not sure if this would be considered a “game,” but I don’t think it’s really a discussion question either. 😭 it’s just something I thought would be fun lol submitted by /u/CeCeAlexus [link] [comments]

I feel like most kpop fans care more about visuals and the music itself than live performance. Plenty of groups lipsync often and still build successful careers. I’ve even seen groups lipsync at their own concerts and fans still pay good money to fill up the venues. Lipsynced performances still rack up millions of views and fans still show great appreciation for them. To give a recent example, Izna’s golden cover at KCON comes to mind. Many fans didn’t care if it was fully lipsynced. They were still praising their voices and calling it the best cover ever. To me, singing live doesn’t really seem to be a top priority in kpop these days. What do you guys think? Is all the outrage over lipsyncing just performative? submitted by /u/GainImpressive8183 [link] [comments]
