you know I kinda like it when kpop album art doesn't look like "normal" kpop album art and instead look like they can belong to literally anything else but a kpop album

Let me preface this by saying I’ve experienced firsthand what it’s like to be a toxic K-pop stan. This opinion comes from years of engaging in slandering and online pile-ons within stan spaces. It’s not meant as an attack or a way to place blame, but rather an attempt to open up space for understanding why this kind of behavior happens in the first place. I’ll go first. I think having a base made up mostly of teenagers going through a difficult and emotionally intense stage of life is already a perfect recipe for an explosive fanbase. It’s a time when people are still figuring out who they are, dealing with insecurity, pressure, and a lot of emotional ups and downs. A lot of that frustration and sadness can end up being projected outward as anger, often directed at the idols themselves, who might retroactively make fans feel worse about who they are or what they lack. To that, I’d add that these fans often find community in small, tight-knit corners of the internet. And while that can be comforting, the already-existing toxicity in online spaces tends to get amplified. It creates an environment where defensiveness, obsession, and hostility aren’t just normal, they’re expected. K-pop thrives on the illusion of intimacy. Idols are made to feel like close friends or partners through fan service and constant online presence, which blurs boundaries and fuels emotional dependence. That makes fans more possessive, reactive, and volatile when they feel slighted. A second theory I’d add is that a lot of this behavior feels learned, or even copied, from K-netizens. For years, Korean online communities have set the tone with obsessive, hypercritical, and often hostile behavior toward idols. That kind of discourse got normalized across global fanbases, and in some ways, international fans ended up mimicking that same energy as if it were just part of how you do K-pop fandom. What is your take? I’m curious to hear:) submitted by /u/xxxerg [link] [comments]

I’ve personally been more drawn to GG music since around 2016. Maybe it’s just my own taste, but I’ve always felt that GGs tend to offer more variety both musically and conceptually. There’s a range that feels broader and more refreshing compared to what I typically hear from BGs (that's just how it feels to me; I'm aware reality might be different). For those who feel the same, what is it that draws you more toward GG music than BG music? Is it the sound, the concepts, the vocals, or something else entirely? submitted by /u/Organic-Cranberry955 [link] [comments]

Something that really draws me to an idol is if they have a unique singing voice and I thought this would be fun. We can see if have similar opinions aswell ☺️ submitted by /u/DdeonghwaDib [link] [comments]

I'm working on a video about uncomfortable experiences at K-pop concerts and I'd love to include some real stories. Did something happen to you that made you very sad? Did you see someone make a fool of themselves in front of everyone? People shouting strange things, fake fainting, fights for places... anything goes. Tell me your cringeiest story 👀 submitted by /u/k-loverss [link] [comments]

Jimin’s music is ironically almost always divisive given that he leans more pop, and the bone of contention is usually the production choices. With that being said, I enjoyed Muse for what it was, a sorta yin to his debut album FACE. FACE remains my favorite EP by Jimin but MUSE gave me intro:rebirth, top 3 Jimin song imo, so I’m not too mad at it. Jk jk, I actually like MUSE, Be mine is a bop and Intro:rebirth is my anthem😭😭 I still maintain that he should’ve have waited until post enlistment to release it but no point crying over spilt milk. WHO is a good TT that could’ve been great if they did certain things differently. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still jam to it but the weird auto tune on Jimin’s vocals irks me, the acoustic version is miles better(check it out if you haven’t). Anyways, Jimin broke a lot of records with WHO and it’s still doing its thing. If only Jimin would actually acknowledge the song oo😂 Which song on MUSE is your fav and which one(s) do you still listen to? submitted by /u/Mobile-Structure5702 [link] [comments]

No matter how much you try to spin it,girl groups are the punching bag of kpop reddit and kpop communities in general. Notice how kpop reddit’s token hated artists are all women. Blackpink,aespa,newjeans,itzy,etc. Meanwhile,amongst the list of “darling” artists are quite a few boy groups. Time and time again countless clear hate posts and hate comments for these groups (and more ggs,that I haven’t mentioned) have been allowed to stay up even on “well” moderated communities while at the same time and the fans’ outcry is not taken seriously or even viewed as toxic. Last week kpopthougts announced the ban of all regular contributors to snark subreddits which is quite interesting to me cause when the bpsnark subreddit was gaining traction with a lot of its regular contributors also being regular contributors to kpopthoughts and other big subreddits no one had a problem with it. No one had a problem with some of their active posters being bodyshamers,slutshamers and racist to an artist. The moment btsnark popped up and started gaining traction tho,suddenly we are taking measures and banning snark subreddits. The mods’ excuse was that they didn’t know it was against reddit’s rules but if they truly cared about tackling the snark subreddit problem when we only had bpsark,NJdrama etc they would have done their research and banned them sooner. Kpop reddit is a hellhole where astronomical bullying against ggs is allowed as long as the armys and other fandoms running the subreddits don’t like said groups but we’re suddenly against toxicity when it’s our male faves And for the record, I don’t do snark subreddits. It’s petty at best and disgusting at worst. I have my own problems with bts and their fandom but you will never catch me being the prick that their fans and other fandoms are against blackpink and other of my faves. submitted by /u/Alive-Pitch-9180 [link] [comments]

As somebody who enjoys survival shows in general (BP, iLand, UL, etc), I came to the new season with an open mind. Survival shows can be interesting when we get to see real behind the scene of how idols (or pre-idols...) can struggle with new music/performances, how industry insiders actually rate specific performers/performances, and how team relationships are formed in real time. I also happen to think they groups formed from survival shows are more chaotic and organic than company formed groups. But having watched the first episode of the new season of BP, it just seems so thoroughly unenjoyable: It is too blatant which specific contestants the show is pushing... Pushing can be acceptable or expected by the audience if the person is clearly a cut above the rest (eg, SHB/ZH or K, etc) and the show can then revolve around the team they build around them. But when the person is not up to par... it really only make you wonder if the show has an agenda/interest behind said contestant... Sadly, the rest of the contestants looks like props and extras hired to glaze the "real stars" of the show. They barely get any screen time as it is, and any screen time they get is simply to gape stupidly or react stupendously at these said "stars". What is crazy about this season is that even the trainers/judges feel like reaction farms... Their constant over the top reactions strains credulity and can take you out of the show... The contestants this season are simply not good... I know this is going to be controversial, but whether because the show is doing a poor job of showcasing talents or are making a mistake of who they choose to showcase, the quality of contestant so far leaves a lot to be desired. Previously I had a hard time choose my team as I want to include too many contestants, but now I am having the opposite problem... Hopefully the show gets better through the episodes? They need to do a better job of showcasing different talent and hold back on the glazing of certain "stars" to make it less obvious. submitted by /u/MaddeningRush [link] [comments]
