I came across a video from baby monster released a few days ago of their new song today and I really like it. It's very catchy. It reminded me of what I like most about 80s electro infused hip hop from the likes of Sir Mix-A-Lot, J.J. Fad and Salt-N-Pepa. I also saw that it was six of them and they usually have seven members, correct me if I'm wrong. Hope she's okay and is back soon ❤️. Overall songs I enjoyed from them are forever, like that, and now I have hot sauce to add to my liked songs from them. They did the song justice. submitted by /u/SoftOk3836 [link] [comments]

All I'm going to say is if companies want me to continue to buy concert tickets, and with these ticket prices and with how everything is getting crazy expensive (living expense wise), I'm going to need more bang for my buck and that includes keeping ALL the songs they have for the tour setlists. Normally, I see the US setlist and get sad when I see my fave songs cut but still go to support. But enough is enough! Please know, companies, that I am willing to sit and watch my faves for more than 2 hours. 3-4 hours even! submitted by /u/NMIXXLUVR [link] [comments]

Apple Music just posted their top 500 most streamed songs on the platform history and Dynamite was crowned as the most streamed song by a group, by an asian artist and by a Korean artist and the #34th most streamed song overall, which is such a huge achievement considering how stacked the top 300 especially was. However, what's also very interesting is how BTS (and the members) dominate so many other platforms accross the board. Jungkook owns the record for the most streamed song both by an Asian and a Korean act on Spotify with Seven (81st overall) and with the second most streamed song for a Korean act being Dynamite itself. On melon, Queen Spring Day holds the record for the most streamed song on the platforms history. As for Soundcloud, Jimin owns the record for the most streamed song by any act (also the highest first day streams in the platform's history) with Promise. And Jin owns the record for the most shazamed song by a Korean act (95th overall). The only platform where the record is not taken by BTS is YouTube, in which Psy's Gangnam style, to no one's surprise, holds the record and is the 9th most viewed music video overall. (Baby Shark by Pinkfong is the most viewed MV of all time on the platform's history but that is released under an educational entertainment company so I wont count it here). I know its generally expected from BTS but the numbers they pull, and seeing how they and their members perform accross the board and manage to dominate platforms and spaces that seldom are open for foreign acts, nonetheless, will always astound me. submitted by /u/Ghetto_Leda99 [link] [comments]

If you know Unis, then you know Ahof and Unis are in the same entertainment company. This is probably going to be somewhat controversial (Please don't drag me🥺). I'm a fan of both fandoms, though I'm more of an Everafter, but I'm loving Ahof. There's been tensions, though it haven't 'exploded' yet. Especially the treatment of Unis compared to Ahof..some fans have pointed out that Ahof's had more 'special treatment'(I don't want to call it that, but for a lack of a better term.) That one SBS concert where Ahof could perform but Unis didn't. Totally understand where Everafters are coming from. I know most of the fans aren't even directing their frustrations to Ahof but to the company. Cause it doesn't make sense that they're not included. I suppose as a fan of Kpop for a lil bit more than a decade, I didn't realize girl groups don't sell much as boy groups. Unless it's from a big company (but even that isn't assurance enough these days). Unis is popular globally but domestically, not much. I just feel like the entertainment company is bad at promoting a girl group. Their debut was fine, but the title track was disappointing. Curious was a bit better and swicy was a good step. But even that doesn't seem to compare to Ahof. Their title track is good. Then again, Unis was the entertainment's first group. There's the trial and error phase, or I feel like they don't know what direction to take with Unis. Especially with the experimentation of trying different genres... still trying to figure out their niche, I guess? Ahof is pretty good, watched the show, love JL. They're talented and good looking. So it's not a surprise. I think Ahof's advantage is they have more Korean fans compared to Unis. And some Koreans tend to be not as welcome to foreign members, read that somewhere. It isn't exactly that they're hated. Maybe they just like to stan Koreans or.. you know the r word? (You'll be lying if you don't admit that at least. Even from the biggest girl groups, SEAsians seems to be 'ignored'). And it's just sad really. In another note, Hope Unis becomes as successful as Ahof. Seriously, the nameless fandom is not to be trifled with. They're going all out in votings and streaming the MV. Hope Everafters wake up and start streaming as well. It's not over just because the promotions are over. If you love Unis, keep streaming, it's stuck at 15M views. That's just sad since their contracts ending, isn't so far away. Their contracts won't be extended this way. (Yeah, I'm just crashing out about that fact, excuse me lol) 🥲✌🏻 submitted by /u/NoInfluence6902 [link] [comments]

I literally cringe watching a lot of kpop idols dancing to regular tiktok challenges, even with my ults💀, like I don't know if its just a kpop training thing but most idols can't do simple tiktok dance trends without popping and locking every joint in their body, I can't even fully explain it but they aren't fluid? when it coming to doing simple dances they either overdo it or just do completely different dance moves. I noticed it more when they are doing amapiano dance moves or tiktok trends by black creators, those types of dances are more like a chill fun vibe where youre not really doing too much but for them they treat it like its a dance competition or it just looks like their body can't even physically do the dance so they just change the whole thing, I guess its cause they're usually taught one specific type of dance so... Even with my favs, when I see them dancing like that, I just avoid the whole video cause I really cannot. The only person I can think of right now thats always does the trends accurately is Shotaro. And their fans would still be claiming they are the best dancers when they can't even do a simple dance trend 😀. submitted by /u/PrestigiousUse203 [link] [comments]

(I know there is a megathread for the tour but the post is more about the attendance than the tour itself so I hope it gets approved) Blackpink Deadline Tour D2 was today and so many kpop idols and actors attended. However the best part was the 3rd gen reunion. We had Jhope from BTS, Nayeon and Jihyo from Twice, Irene and Seugli from Red Velvet and Seventeen!!! It felt like an award show lol. Just when it felt like 3rd was starting to die down they showed they aren't going anywhere Now we have Blackpink, Twice and BTS comebacks soon. Like 3rd gen will always be peak kpop for me. submitted by /u/VengeanceAI [link] [comments]

This popped up on my timeline, a recent interview with Karina mentioned that she was originally prepared to debut with a cute concept. They trained a lot with Girls' Generation songs. But apparently, about 3 months before debut, they were told the concept was changing and started practicing with TVXQ choreography instead. Now looking at H2H, the members have said they trained with a lot of Girls’ Generation songs too, and their concept is definitely on the cute side. So it makes me wonder, was the H2H concept originally meant for Aespa? What do you guys think? Do you have any other info or theory about this? submitted by /u/matt_vaghn [link] [comments]

I know these are here and there on K-pop Reddit all the time, but I feel like sharing my opinions. I'm a casual enjoyer of hundreds of groups so I should know a little something about a lot of them! However I'm always happy to be introduced to more groups :) I hardly have "controversial" takes, just for a few I think. So there should be nothing heavy, still just light opinions! Should definitely be mostly positive! My opinions are just my opinions and more often than not I have no intent to change others' opinions about the groups because of my own thoughts! This is for fun! Please stay respectful submitted by /u/BicycleNo1181 [link] [comments]

I remember when Jennie had her "RUBY" tour; the posts people made on Reddit were disgusting: "Look her xyz is out", the same with Lisa at Crazy Horse Paris. I swear to god, this sub has such a huge problem with women doing whatever the fuck they want. Just a simple reminder: They don‘t owe you shit. They can dress and perform however they want. You might not like it but that doesn‘t give you the right to call them "whores" or whatever, and btw that word shouldn‘t be used as an insult anymore. I honestly hate how K-Pop Reddit talks about women and often even about minors. And don’t get me started on hoe some of you fantasize about NJs selling their bodies as a form of revenge. Some of you are disgusting fr. submitted by /u/Physical_End_537 [link] [comments]

I heard its like a concert exclusive like what they did to rosé’s solo album during the virtual concert submitted by /u/mrwolfboyjared [link] [comments]

I’ve noticed something lately, and maybe I’m just too chronically online, but it feels like most newer girl group fandoms love claiming their favs as “TWICE’s daughters.” I rarely see anyone refer to their groups as daughters of BLACKPINK, Red Velvet, or other major girl groups from previous generations. It’s just an observation, but I’m genuinely curious, why do you think that is? Why TWICE specifically? Would love to hear your thoughts. submitted by /u/Diligent_Thought_165 [link] [comments]

Title should be self-explanatory, which member do you think stood out the most or embodied the concept the best for each era? Feel free to trim down the list in any way you want for groups with large discographies! submitted by /u/fuzzy_dunlop7 [link] [comments]

I don't know, I love this sub because it makes me feel better about myself. It really is the perfect therapy session... We have this new Blackpink concert and fans of several groups already hyperventilate about their faves possibly making contact with the Blackpink members. This is so incredibly funny. Your faves are probably fans of their music while you guys are out here being miserable and hateful for no reason. Hating on the members, writing your little "concern" posts for their fans Imao. Since when did you care about Blinks? 💀 The girls are out there living their life while you are on this app being miserable, you can't make this shit up. — The clips I saw looked amazing. The girls are killing it, all the best to them and to every idol who attended. May all idols have a great 2025 💕❤️ Edit: Again, I don‘t care. Got nothing to lose here lmao. submitted by /u/Physical_End_537 [link] [comments]
