k-pop fans unintentionally being pickmeshas about fanservice, older fans, etc.

Ew trump. I do not support any misogynistic, white nationalist, incel, hitler-like (esp. Musk), racists at all and neither does this sub and apparently neither does reddit as a site as a whole. He stands against everything Kpop stands for which is an art form from a formerly colonized people from a country that is rising up against colonialism and hatred. Anyone who comments anything negative to this, or tries to defend that orange guy will be banned permanently. Go somewhere else, we don't want your lower kind here.

i really feel like visuals are straight up overshadowing talent in kpop right now. like yeah, looks have always mattered — even back in 2nd gen ppl called idols the ‘visuals’ of the group — but those idols still had to actually perform. now it’s like companies care more about how viral/marketable someone looks than whether they can sing, rap, or dance. you can literally see it in how some groups are set up. usually 1 or 2 members are carrying the whole performance vocally and even stage presence-wise, while the rest are mostly just… there for aesthetic. it’s not even subtle. and i’m not blaming the idols bc it’s not their fault, it’s how they’re cast and pushed. what’s worse is how fans feed into it. ppl hype idols for just standing there and looking good, while ignoring the ones actually killing it on stage or vocally. the fanwars over ‘who’s prettier’ vs ‘who’s more talented’ just prove how much the industry pushes this cycle. meanwhile, insanely skilled idols who don’t fit certain beauty standards get pushed to the background no matter how much they deliver. Now the bar feels like just being photogenic enough to sell posters and brand deals. nothing wrong with being gorgeous, but when it overshadows actual artistry, the music and performances suffer. that’s why 2nd gen and even early 3rd gen felt different. idols back then had to prove themselves vocally and on stage, not just look good in fancams. now you see idols who can’t even sing live properly or look bored on stage, but they still trend just for their visuals. makes me wonder where kpop is going — is it about image more than the music now? submitted by /u/No-Metal8032 [link] [comments]

hi, im a former kpop fan who first got into it back in 2014. i was absolutely obsessed for years, but i completely lost interest around 2020. to me, that was the point where kpop started to feel off. everything was becoming way too westernized, not just in sound but also in presentation and identity. and i know this has been discussed a lot already, but i really do think 2020/2021 marked a big downgrade for kpop as a whole. 4th gen in particular just didnt work for me. i know some people love it, but from my perspective it lacked a lot of what made kpop unique in the first place. instead of bringing fresh concepts or creative risks, it felt like so many groups were just chasing global trends, trying to appeal to the western market at the cost of distinct identity. everything started blending together; same types of beats, same girl crush concept over and over, same heavy edm drops, same "baddie" image. i didnt feel that spark anymore, the sense that each group had its own charm or world to explore. innovation wise, i honestly think 4th gen was the weakest era ive seen. but recently, i stumbled on some of the new 5th gen groups like illit, unis, hearts2hearts, qwer, and kiiikiii, and it feels different. it actually made me feel excited about kpop again for the first time in years. i’m noticing stronger concepts, more distinct sounds, and finally the return of cute/lighthearted concepts, which i’ve really missed. it really feels like some groups are leaning back into what made kpop special. obviously, 5th gen is still in its early stages, but to me it already looks more promising than the 4th gen ever did. there’s a sense of experimentation and identity again, and i’m actually curious to see where these groups go instead of feeling like it’s all just going to be the same thing on repeat. so i wanted to throw this thought out there: am i the only one who feels like 5th gen is shaping up to be way more interesting than 4th gen? and if you guys have other 5th gen girl groups with this kind of energy that you’d recommend, i’d love to check them out submitted by /u/subahipeak [link] [comments]

hi, i’m a former kpop fan who got into it in 2014, but i completely lost interest around 2020 after seeing what it was becoming (way too westernized, but that’s not really the point; i’m sure plenty of people before me have already talked about how kpop downgraded around 2020/2021). but recently i stumbled on groups like illit, unis, hearts2hearts, qwer and kiiikiii and i really like them. it feels like kpop is getting better again, with groups that have strong concepts and finally the return of cute concepts. am i the only one who thinks 5th gen seems way more promising than the 4th, which to me was probably the worst in terms of innovation? also, do you guys have any other 5th gen girl groups in a similar style you’d recommend? submitted by /u/subahipeak [link] [comments]
