all of them look kinda weird except for maybe seulgi. i can already see all of the comebacks in january with this aesthetic and sound cause kpop is unoriginal once again (this song isn't even original either but still companies will copy kek).
2nd girl groups will always be the better groups (even though most of them had terrible ps) because at least they tried to do different concepts and sounds and seemed like actual idols rather than glorified instagram influencers.

https://m.soundcloud.com/su6un/redvelvet-bad-psychoFunny how red velvet is praised for “not repeating concepts and songs” yet Psycho literally has the same BPM, progressions and fucking key as Bad Boy. I honestly wouldn’t be so disappointed if it weren’t how openly kpop producers get away with recycling shit and get millions of braindead fans going “omg this is such a bop, kpop > a-pop”.
I get companies want to chart well, and in rider to do so you have to make musically dull music to please to masses but I’d still expect fans to be more disappointed with how much they complain about Korea not having any taste. This year a lot of kpop songs were really noisy but the noise was at least musically interesting.

>>68929This is one of the better fits she's worn this year and her fridge waist still stands out. Her body was OK during ICC and Dumb Dumb but puberty just was not kind to her afterwards.
She looks fine when standing next to other ggs and male idols, but the other 4 RV girls have notably smaller waists and proportionate bone structures so she looks like a truck next to them when she's probably also very skinny irl
>>68937Not an expert but what threw me off zzb at first was the contrast between the verses and chorus + the random Irene and Yeri raps in the middle of the song. I think a little more buildup would have made it an original public-friendly hit like Red Flavor because despite its shit arrangement I like the backing instrumentals and overall energy of the song
>>68896Any list putting that goblin Hwasa on it is invalid. I get that she's "not like other girls" and gets gassed up for actually eating food, but there are just some areas where Nikita Dragun's lookalike can't shove herself into and beauty is one of them

I know we’ve already discussed Nayeon’s German stalker to death, but I didn’t see this crazy in-depth interview Kpopalypse did with him linked:
https://kpopalypse.com/2019/12/21/kpopalypse-interview-josh-a-k-a-the-german-nayeon-stalker/It’s password protected but the password is:
iwanttowrapitsoftly
Basically the stalker is insanely delusional, but also very detailed in sharing what has happened so far in his trip (visited their agency three times - the police came the third time and he went to the station for questioning, but was allowed to leave freely). The interview created some drama in that fans thought it would encourage the stalker and was in poor taste. Those are def legit points, but it also looks like this stalker is so far-gone that his talking to a random kpop blogger isn’t really going to encourage him anymore than his own intense fixation will. Why I want to share (besides rubbernecking) is mainly because how well the article captured how the idol boyfriend/girlfriend relatability and accessibility image being sold can completely consume and delude someone (with those mental proclivities).
Not to say the interviewer was perfect by any means: he had a couple dumb questions and didn’t have the receipts to counter when the stalker just straight up lies that he didn’t write a reddit post approving of misogynistic violence toward women who reject men. The fact the stalker lies so blatantly about something so easily proven wrong indicates that yeah, he is mentally ill, but he’s also a dumbass piece of shit too! The stalker’s “nice guy” mentality in that he is entitled to meet this celebrity and this celebrity must give him a chance to get know him (because then she will ofc fall in love with him as soon as she does) is so fucking gross and seemingly prevalent.

>>68993i think it's a combination of tight clothes, being short, and having no muscles (carboxy shots and crash diets?). plus her body is quite rectangular so wearing tight clothes can make her skin look like love handles.

The juxtaposition of Lisa and rose here drives me up the wall. I will personally kill their stylist. Similar-ish colors does not equal the same style. They both give off completely different energies. Rosé looks all ritzy and lisa looks like she just got done with her sewer graffiti.

So SM might just be "fuck it" make Irene and Joy model & act, give Seulgi the la Luna / lgbt fanservice treatment, Yeri stays as a networker / songwriter and SM releases Wendy's pre-recorded solos without her permission as they push through with another gg group.

Wendy being injured and missing a comeback due to treatment and rehab is likely to be a huge blow financially (redoing choreo/stages, missing or delaying shows, etc). It seems impossible for any large company to not sue (or at least threaten and then settle), but then again I don't know korean law.
>>69181No wonder AOA went on the variety manager show recently. They talk about getting a complaint once for being too loud, but frames it in a way like yeah we are a bunch of loud excitable girls whoops. Smart of them to hit the variety shows hard as their experience/comfort level on camera is prob one of their biggest advantages over newer groups.
No. 69191

>>69202Yup, Tzuyu was a tad too fast sometimes.
>>69203You can't really tell people to stop trying to chase their dream when they're only in their mid 20s. Plus the 2 biggest groups right now are from that time.
Aoa is doing extremely well now thanks to that show, they completely lucked out. Despite not being able to sing they're only getting praise. The scandal that hurt them the most was Seolhyun and Jimin not knowing history, they had to "reflect" for ages (I think they even took some classes), but who the fuck expects idols to not be dumb? lol
>1. [+1,116, -159] Seolhyun is definitely good at performing on stagehttp://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2019/12/seolhyun-x-tzuyu-and-whasa-x-chungha.html?m=1>1. [+419, -41] They'd be in big trouble if they didn't perform without their back dancers because of how empty the stage looked;; such a big difference compared to AOA who performed after that. If they ever have another comeback, they should individually practice their dancing skills.http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2019/12/a-pink-looks-festive-in-red-for-2019.html?m=1In the end being charming/charismatic is the most important skill in kpop. That's why some idols look like they don't belong on stage despite having a good voice.
No. 69210
>>69154I wouldn't say especially female ones when the biggest boy group there is fucking bts. Could you ever imagine girls with their faces and everything be the face of kpop?
Not-so-pretty female idols get tons of hate every day just for existing…most ugly or talentless male idols only start getting hate when they're involved in rumors or scandals.
No. 69214
>>69210When I said the standards are too low I wasn't talking about their looks, but mainly their choreos. Girl groups barely even have to move, every toddler could dance the way they do, male idols at least break a sweat because they have to do jumps etc that normie dudes could hardly do (tho in the end this is still sexist because it's based on the assumption that women are physically weaker and not capable of doing difficult and exhausting routines like men).
Whasa might get lots of hate because she's hideous, but in the end she's still famous because her voice isn't too bad and because she has charisma. Solely being attractive doesn't guarantee success, even in kpop.
What have the lesser known members of most cutesy groups to offer? They lipsync, they don't need to be able to dance, their main job is just staying skinny, so if they're not even a pretty face, why do they think they could make it or deserve to make it? Momoland Jooe is probably the only one who had this much luck.
No. 69236
>>69194If her injuries were just in her wrist and face I'd agree with you but pelvis injuries really do take a long time to heal and if they don't let it heal properly worst case scenario she won't be able to dance for the rest of her life without discomfort, with basically ends her whole idol career. I guess they could just make her do a bunch of CFs or MC gigs but I don't see her doing a whole lot for most of 2020. (sorry for mini blog)

>>69224>>69226>Whats the point of even trying hard if people are just going to forget about you so easily?Because this is their freaking job…? (and supposedly their "dream")
>if i were a female idol i wouldn't even try hard since they rarely get the amount of fame some of these trash boy group get.Great logic you've got there. Why even work at all when the richest people on earth will always be men anyway?
But talking about them "trying harder" also doesn't make sense, since they would lack the talent to do so, their choreos are based on the level of their ability (which is close to nothing).
I feel like so many of you are forgetting that kpop isn't the only source of music in Korea, the general public cares very little about it, they much rather dig ballads. And female ballad singers can easily beat boy groups on charts. Without a doubt there are talented singers and dancers, but they don't join idols groups. Idols aren't in it for the music, they're rich spoiled daughters and/or school bullies who think that being pretty (thanks to ps) and acting cute or sexy should pay their meals. Just look at what they do after their "career" ends: instead of learning a normal job like people in their early/mid 20s could easily do, they turn into streamers or they marry rich old farts. You can see exactly what type of people they are.
So, stop feeling sorry for idols not making it, or supposedly not being paid enough. Nobody feels sorry for some dumb bimbo who fails to make it in Hollywood either. It's not like they're poor 3rd worlders who have to sent money back home to feed 10 younger siblings, they would always have had the choice to just live normally, but they don't because they think they're above that.
And about the unfairness between girl and boy groups: how do you reckon do male idols feel when they see Twice being millionaires because of shit like above while they destroy their knees or backs because their agency thought "hey, that could be a cool move, try it"? It's not like in the west there men can get away with being fat hairy slobs, all idols (minus Shindong) are starving themselves, have to get ps, fuck up their skin and hair due to excessive styling and sometimes even get preyed on by pedo fans.
No. 69242
>>69237 yeah it's their job but if you've ever had a job with a lot of coworkers there's always one or two who don't try hard but still get their paycheck. choreos are not based on ability because of that were the case half of these boy groups would be doing easier choreo. even if you're a millionaire, most people would be ticked to see someone else get 5 million more than you when you put the same work in lol. and i'm not referring to girl groups like twice who just look cute and stare at the camer soulessly, i'm referring to the few ones that can actually hold a note.
> are starving themselves, have to get ps, fuck up their skin and hair due to excessive styling and sometimes even get preyed on by pedo fans.never said that men don't through that they obviously do. only difference is that boy groups have a long life span and more musical freedom at times.

>>69238I'm just tired of anons very clearly being not so secret girl group stans and constantly whiteknighting Twice and other cutesy groups, they're probably the same farmers who rave about Loona and Red Velvet in kpop general.
Solely being a female idol doesn't make you a
victim who's only deserving of pity, same as being a male idol doesn't make you like Seungri. Some of them do get abused, but most simply brought a broke lifestyle upon themselves (unless their parents are rich). And I'm sure that many are leading a lot less bad lifes than we think they do.
No. 69245
>>69242But do you really think that idols are actually talented and capable of doing harder choreos, and they just don't show it…? And who are those idols who can actually hold a note?
I don't really see your point: why should female groups get longer life spans if they're not offering anything? You say it's understandable that they don't even try because of the way they're treated, but this also means that nobody has a reason to like them either. You might say that boy groups are also not deserving of success, but in the end it's not boy groups and their female fans who are at fault for girl groups being less popular. Hating on male idols while putting female idols on a pedestral won't solve or change anything. It's up to companies and their male fans to support them more in whatever they do, for longer than just a couple years.

>>69250And…? Girls are more loyal and prefer boy groups, nothing new (and completely natural since most people are hetero). Do you suggest to force them to like male idols less or to also stan girl groups to make the situation more equal? lol
Like I said, this is something between male fans who only like idols because of their looks/youth and those female idols who rely on their looks/youth.

UPDATE on the Wendy situation:
http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2019/12/sbs-issues-apology-for-wendys-fall-at.html?m=1
>Dispatch noted that Wendy will likely be suffering at least six weeks of healing time after the diagnosis of her injuries. Her right pelvis and wrist were broken, and her right cheekbone was cracked. She also has a number of bruises all over her body. It will likely take several months to recover. According to hospital staff, the swelling at the injury site is so severe that even an accurate diagnosis cannot be made at this time. So they are focusing on Wendy recovering slowly until they can make a proper diagnosis and recovery plan.

>>69284>this is a cry for helpQuit being this fucking dramatic. He probably only thinks he's cool, edgy or "rebellious" for doing something that slighlty goes against the usual idol style. But at least he's rich enough to get them removed once he feels embarrassed - which will happen soon since no person above the age of 20 likes that.
My only hope is that the girl at least profited financially from this lol (and that she wasn't too hurt by him denying whatever little relationship they had going)

>>69272Honestly 3/5 of Red Velvet are useless as shit, if Irene wasn't the designated visual she would get similar criticism for being old and talentless. Joy acts overtly cocky to mask her insecurity over being overshadowed by Irene, and allows herself to be treated like a token sex object on variety shows because her body is all she can offer. We all already know how useless Yeri is.
Kinda disagree on Seulgi because I feel her attractiveness depends on her styling, like Lisa. She's not much to look at without makeup imo.
>>69279"Knetz" comments about BTS posts on NB and pann are so blatantly teenagers it's hilarious. Half the time some comment will be like "I'm a 45-year-old man and I love BTS!" - funny how a 45-year-old types exactly like a 13-year-old girl

He clearly had all those tattoos done in a very short period of time and he obviously hadn’t thought of anything meaningful to get, not that we have seen at least. The Army one looks poorly thought out too.
My theory is that he went there and went woah, so cool, decided to become a bit of a rebel, saw the tattoos the artists had and designed and was like “I want this, like yours!”
She works there and most likely she designed and executed half of his tattoos, naturally there will be similarities.
Are his stans so terrified of the possibility that he was not in his right mind during that period and was possibly having a mental breakdown or even was abusing substances, that they decided to create a failing love story instead to justify his worrisome actions?
The boy was clearly not in his right mind

Dispatch has unveiled scary details behind Red Velvet Wendy's accident on SBS stage.
Dispatch met with field staff that participated in '2019 SBS Gayo Daejun' on the 25th and an official who witnessed Wendy's accident talked about the incident in detail.
The witness stated, "Wendy conducted her first rehearsal at 11:00am on the 25th on the main stage for her Aladdin OST "Speechless" sound test. The sound test went smoothly. The accident happened later during further rehearsals."
"Wendy climbed the second floor tunnel and prepared to walk down the stairs as prepared but the lift didn't go up. At that moment, she lost her balance and fell 2.5 meters down to the stage in a defenseless state."

Hwasa is good but has this throaty, guttural quality a lot of people don't like, with a good coach she could improve it but i doubt she wants to, it's just her voice so whatever. Rose is the opposite, she's actually purposely making her voice sound unnatural and it's so annoying. Listening to her is so tiring, she sounds like she's using all her effort to decide exactly howww everyyyy noooote neeeeds to come outtttt. It can't be fun. Seriously. So exhausting.

Both debuted young and are now having childish interests and are making dumb decisions which are usually mad by teens much younger than them. No normal person above the age of 18 thinks Soundcloud rappers or Billie Eilish are cool but if you never had the chance to grow up normally, how would you know? And with your agency and fans treating you like their lapdog you're also easily influenced by others - style and taste included.

You’d think Big Hit would try to stop them, but at the same time, it’s not like even the most egregious tattoos are going to change the way diehard fans treat them.

Irene gets so much shit for not having a personality but honestly seulgi and her are kinda dead and awkward too. It seemed to me she was much brighter during debut where she was hyped a lot.

Plus, I don't think that they really have a choice. It might seem inhumane, but they're at the top, working as much as possible now is for the best. There are so many groups who fell because their agency neglected them and didn't give them comebacks/tours when there was demand, so bighit is actually doing the right thing with this. In a couple years when Jin reaches his 30s/goes to the military they have to slow down anyway.
http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2019/12/chorong-irene-nayeon-and-ahrin-collab.htmlIrene really lucked out. She performed with a girl who's like a decade younger than her (in youth obsessed Korea) and nevertheless all the top comments are calling her beautiful.

How come SM can have a benefit of other groups covering their not-popular-anymore songs? When ceremonies let BTS perform for 20 to 30 mins (it was actually over 40), everything is ok. When other groups cover BTS' songs, they are a clout chaser. When other groups cover SM songs, they are forced to do it because of SM's power.Somebody wrote that at the height of their fame Exo also wasn't given more than 15 minutes to perform - which is less than Txt gets now in their 1st year. Back then people complained about big 3 privilege, but now it's basically a monopoly already.

A Produce 101 group covered it way better even if they're noobs who did a rushjob, because the vocals aren't autotuned to the point of being devoid of personality, they hit the high notes and added their own raps. TxT are more bland than an Mnet audition group tbh

They tried to do a lot of Japan stuff much like several other girl groups that started fading, and even that hasnt worked out well the past couple of years.

I remember back in the day when TLC gave an interview explaining how all three of them were broke despite selling so many records. They were at the mercy of a one sided record contract. Overseas, it is not so much about being a one sided record contract as it is, just plain evil greed. Over the past few months I have compiled some stories that show how awful being an A list singer in Korea can be and how you can never hope to get out of a contract.
There was a group that disbanded a couple years ago. (#1) It had been around for about a decade. At first it was not a very popular group. The managers of the group thought they should get rid of an at the time a 18 year old female (#2) who they thought was the reason for lack of success. Her parents demanded an explanation as to why she was being replaced. They had been given assurances and guarantees. The managers then told them to stop complaining or they would release a recording of their daughter in a threesome. The daughter was drunk in the video and the men's faces were blurred.
Things went well when that teen was kicked out and new teens were brought in. A few years later another member left (#3). She was forced to leave because she refused to keep having sex with who the managers ordered her to. They found her replacement on a television show that was rigged to make the winner the teen (#4) that the managers thought was best in bed.

>>69536>>they were only successful when they were pureEw they grew up so they stopped sounding like teenage girls, that's an indictment on SK's entertainment industry more than anything else, network PDs get bribes and sex favors so it's hard to compete. KBS invited Apink to perform so they shouldve treated them well.
In any case idol groups lasting past 10 years is a huge achievement, especially girl groups where youth is a factor. SNSD lasted 10 years, Apink are 9 years in and Eung Eung was a decent comeback although I never liked Apink's innocent concepts. Most girlgroups eventually do sexy concepts so Idk why Apink doing that is bad, unless SK has severe Madonna/Whore complex? It's sad that few girl groups can graduate to a mature womanly sound without losing fans, they debut as teens and it's natural to sound different as adults. It's boring that Gfriend/Everglow/WJSN have interchangeably prissy concepts while Twice or Mamamoo corner the market of sounding like adult women singing.

Idk why everyone's so surprised. Entertainment industries of all types, in every country, are hiding prostitution and shady dealings. That's where all the hot jb is more or less farmed for the elites. Idol groups are def used as escorts, I think that's why so many girl groups make brief or rare appearances and never seem busy. It's not "about the music" lol & anyone who says it is is lying to save face. At the very least these female idols are seeking an in for modeling or acting or…other career paths. Idoldom is a foot in the door.
SK is smallish and since the culture is generally conservative, they fancy themselves better at hiding the corruption. The burning sun thing was the first major scandal of this type but think of how much is going on that hasn't been exposed? Look at metoo & Harvey Weinstein in the u.s., look at the actors who have called out the pedophilia and sex rings rampant in hollywood, it's all connected
At the veryyyy least, your bg idols are getting it on with sasaengs who will sign NDAs & offer continued suppression of gossip. At most they have access to high priced escorts who are likely kept on a short leash, no euphemism intended kek, but legally kept quiet. Seungri isn't special he's just the first guy who got caught in a major way. I bet his friends & associates walk around with a lot of anxiety.

They tend to be younger and have no actual job, only leeching on already wealthy family members and continuously vying for idols attention by buying the idols things, none of which the idols even keep unless its something little that they can carry or wear through an airport a few times to show "appreciation" for the few fansites that go above and beyond gift wise(like showing up to their events, fanmeetings, musicals, acting jobs etc with gifts, flowers and food for the entire crew). Thats as far as it goes, which is why saesangs are perpetually pining and reeking of desperation, and obsessively seeking information so they can ruin the life of idols that they're obsessed with when they feel unabashedly rejected. Deep down they know idols hate them and only use them and the money to further their own careers while fucking other idols in secret.

>>69552Speaking of, I used to be obsessed with looking at the tier of gifts idols would get from fansites like that. Funnily enough, most of the time its not just the fansite owner spending the thousands and thousands, the fansite owner charges membership fees and that money goes toward these events and gifts for idols. Its actually quite smart because most of the time all they're offering to the members are things like "exclusive photo set of 5 photos I took at the airport that nobody else will get to see" kek. Idol fans are suckers. Even the ones low on the totem pole. The idol will never recognize the 75 people who donate to a site, only the main fansite owner.

There are ways of doing things.
With such a submissive mindset, don't be surprised to exploited like a piece of shit and make a burnout.

>>69587Tbh I think that this is one of the most accurate comments about bts/bh.
Companies take an enormous cut of idols checks to pay for hair, producers, costume, etc and even charge them for being a trainee and room/board. Sure after it’s all paid off they can get more money but for about 4 years they are in immense debt to their company. I have heard that idols specifically invest in rent houses and stocks because they won’t have enough money to live the rest of their lives and they usually don’t have a completed high school or college education so they have trouble getting jobs. Sad.

>>69605BTS don't have that problem of needing a new job post-idol career at all, but they do need to work their ass off for the next 8 years for Bang PD if Bigshit is going to get anywhere near the Big 3.
People don't understand that Bigshit is still unstable and relying on one group only, they're not listed on the Korean stock market and do not own any land (unlike SM YG JYP who own their own HQ building and prime land) so the company has few assets and outside investors, it'll take about 10 years to even get to where more established companies like SM are to have their own offices and a few established groups or solos promoting at the same time. Meanwhile CJ, JYP, SM, Pledis etc are all competitors so Bighit need to invest heavily in debuting new groups with good concepts if they wanna stay relevant. BTS could be the TVXQ or Bigbang of Bigshit, but 1 group can't sustain the company forever so it's still up to Bang PD not to waste BTS's crazy revenue earnings on debuting failures (likely possibilty looking at TXT). If Bigshit can't debut a few more successful groups, outsiders will be less willing to invest in Bigshit even if they want to get traded on the stock market.

>>69604That's how you interpreted this? No ones condoning blatant personal mistreatment of idols. It's an explanation for fans who think their faves should get x y or z award or stage time just because it's their fave or "oppar works so hard!" It's not a meritocracy. Decisions are being made by the powers that be who are thinking about their bottom line and little else (they cant even engineer a safe stage or train their cameramen, who royally sucked thru all these recent events)
You think kpop became successful by companies & entertainment conglomerates protecting idols feelings, making sure everyone is treated equally? Should you and your coworkers/classmates all receive the same $$/grades just so you and your friends (fans, as it were) won't get their feelings hurt? Doesn't make it right but that is how the world works.

She added that regarding year end festivals, they either get paid a similar amount to the weekly music shows or nothing at all. Groups usually attend for the honour and prestige of it, help promote the group, etc.
If it's the case I understand why Apink are mad when they paid lots of backup dancers to perform and got cut. Same as when BTS posted a snarky good camera video because MBC's camerawork for their year end show sucked.

>>69620We still shouldn't jump to conclusions such as that it wasn'ta suicide, but it's important to recognize and discuss patterns. It is
possible that someone who doesn't have the most supportive family would commit suicide after losing out on a huge dream opportunity after training for 5 years during their prime (debut at 22 is already late, then she lost, so I could imagine her feeling hopeless.) She was the oldest of all contestants apparently and known as "emotional leader" so those could be contributing factors (age shaming and emotional predisposition). However… As soon as Hara died of suicide, and as soon as Han Seohee came out with those screenshots and boosted these rumors that Hara could have been a
victim of something much bigger, and now this blind item, on top of the KNOWN Jang Jayeon list of executives she had to sleep with. It really gets you wondering what is going on.
People should be pressuring DSP to step up their mental health support for their current groups at the
very least. I guess everyone forgot about Ahn Sojin so quickly since she never got to reach stardom, but this seriously needs to be revisited in light of new details. I wish someone could interview a former member and put them in witness protection or something. If anything bigger is going on I'm SURE as soon as Hara died they were threatened to keep quiet though. I guess only time and HSH's lack of fear of these people might shine more light on all this.

Just admit that KBS is retarded and can't schedule and was disrespectful not only to apink but literally everyone else for wasting their time. Not everyone wants to watch a 40min bts concert at the end of the year. Other people exist.

K I see the problem, you think this is about apink. I didn't watch their bit. My post is referring to the general vibe of fans arguing about idols set lengths, awards etc. I'm saying it's big business, it's rigged, they're not gonna give nugus a 30 min stage. It's not personal it's business. Idk why this makes me a bts fan though, how are they not part of this as well? Only it's the opposite – everyone forced to sit thru what was essentially a bts mini concert with even more pretentious solo stages than usual. And like above, i say again how tryhardy it was trying to make fans feel nostalgic for such recent times. "Awww when this song came out I was 12!

Famous/rich males being angry narcissists isn't acting out (plus isn't jimin the "nice guy"?), besides, all of bts have always acted much more mature. Jhope being hyper is obviously just an act and v has calmed down a lot, the only one still acting like a retard is jk.

>>69729 Don't equate Hollywood/US culture to Korea. Stage parenting is uncommon in SK, Koreans are handsoff about socialising with stranger children because it can be seen as creepy.
The biggest suicide factors is that both girls came from divorced backgrounds and got cyberbullied 24/7 without a strong support network to turn to, plus Sulli was Hara's BFF. In SK divorce is still taboo (Koreans and East Asian cultures think divorced parents is a sign of bad upbringing or lack of parental involvement and don't want their kids to marry children of divorced homes) such that cheating/visiting room salon hookers in a marriage is accepted as what all men do. Wives don't rush to divorce because it impacts the kids. Suicides rates in SK are high because of the crazy pressures on social appearances like these or on looks and education, rampant capitalism (people here do everything to get ahead including bully others), plus a very strict age hierarchy where the only people you can talk to casually are same-aged friends (Chingoos hence all the age-line bullshit), anyone younger or older comes with age related etiquette barriers and some form of Old → Young bullying. It's shit and a huge contributor to social stress which doesn't exist outside Korea. In China, USA, Europe people talk normally without having to figure out each others age and appropriate respect level.
That means Sulli, Hara, Jungkook or anyone who debuted young and doesnt have many same aged school friends is lonely, esepcially if they also lack a supportive family. Their last resort for problems is mental health counsellors and they are not widely available unlike the West where every man and dog has a therapist.

Also my Korean friends who live outside SK agree that Korean age hierarchy sucks because you get bullied at school, at work, in life by anyone older who talks down to you thanks to experience (AKA i'm older, I know better, don't question me it's rude, young punk bring that over for me, listen to what i say kid, etcetera). When Ifags wonder why cyberbullying happens so much in SK, they don't get that from a young age Koreans are taught to listen to older people and instruct younger people so even in elementary school sunbaes start to bully or pressurise hoobae juniors despite a 1 year age difference. The only place where this sunbae-hoobae age hierachy bullshit doesnt happen in online, where Knetz can say anything they want to anyone 100% unfiltered without respect or etiquette, so they abuse internet forums and social media to cyberbully and "release steam" because IRL they live in a strict age hiearchy where they cant critique their boss, parents, elders, older coworkers etc and take it out on younger people as well. Knetz are vicious online because age hierachy rules don't apply so there's no societal judgement if you pick on celebs.

Not to mention potential safety hazards – after Sewol i read that the two-pilot rule is useless in Korean airlines because a younger co-pilot won't advise or point out errors if the main pilot is older than him.

deleted to add: 야 is not limited to referring to another person. You can refer to yourself, especially when someone's asking,"who's there?" you'd casually reply "(name) 야!

>>69822Junglebook
was probably bit naive because he's never needed to handle real life without a manager, but it's silly to assume Korean male idols who debut early are sweethearts or super nice. People used to assume Daesung was kind and innocent because he looks dim (he bought a building with a room salon brothel as the main tenant and the life was conveniently spoilt ew) or assume TOP could do no wrong because he was handsome, good at acting and good on stage. All I will say is most Korean male idols/celebs are not innocent at all and take full advantage of fame's trappings to sow their wild oats in the showbiz industry or make use of groupies lmao, it's hard for men to stay on the straight and narrow in showbiz where temptations abound and women throw themselves at you or spam you nudes.
Female idols who debut young also lose their innocence in the sense that they are subject to a ton of predatory attention from young from male idols or showbiz execs.

>>69771Honestly, you might be onto something. Selugi may not be a visual but because she APPEARS (I did not day that she IS) to be an ace member:
Decent-looking enough (maybe the monolids giving her an edge -I swear it's the same energy people give to Yeji), can dance, sing decent, appear to have charisma but not be as uppity as Irene, not as obnoxious as Yeri /Joy when being funny/the attention is on them, not get pity passes like Wendy. But, she's not borning to the level of being forgotten like BP Jisoo. Plus she has a LOT of female fans (everyone here is guilty, including me), and I rarely hear men call her "ugly" (except /kpg/4chan incels, they don't count). Even back went all of red velvet was called fat right after debut, netizens would start by saying "Except for Seulgi…"
Or, I might be wrong and she's just gets away with looking like someone with good character on camera. SM calls her their (female) ace. SM probably puts a lot to make Selugi's character on screen such as appearing trustworthy and "can do no wrong". Kind of like how they want Irene as their visual to exude a Jessica/Krystal ice-princess as if she's a queen or politican's wife and giving her full frontal 5-10 second shots to showcase her 'beauty' before, during and at the end of a song.

>>69823There were these screenshots floating around of Sistar telling an IOI girl to stay home and not date if possible because "not all male seniors are nice" and they said it right in front of known creeper Leeteuk too. Apparently some agency has a list of male entertainers that are "safe" to approach and talk to
>>69829If an SM idol gets a lot of public attention and praise, it's because SM allows them to be talked about by giving them a positive image. Seulgi was talked about by Krystal and Sulli on national TV when she was a trainee, and mentioned by name when typically trainees stay hidden to the public. Why would SM sanction that if they weren't gearing to push her to hell and back later?
I'm not saying she's a bad person, but I do believe her image has been very carefully pushed by SM to be this hardworking good-hearted all-rounder in the mold of Taemin and NCT's Mark, while the other members maybe get more unfavourable views than is warranted

She seems very cold, and I thought people rather call her underrated for her dancing/stage presence? Plus lesbo ifans love her, but that's it. Never saw anybody say she's a talented singer or very pretty or nice/funny.
Also, Joy called out sbs' apology and said that it pissed her off. Hopefully SM will really sue, so many fans have been telling them to do so.

Therein lies the toxicity of Korean culture, TV network bosses punish hoobaes like TXT and Gfriend (who only recently joined Bigshit) if BTS or Bigshit offended them.
Ratmies are screaming that BTS don't need MBC since they are global superstars now, but they are too stupid to understand that BTS has to play nice with major TV network bosses if they want Bigshit hoobaes to be invited to weekly music shows and EOY music fests. YG JYP and SM bribe or send hookers to network bosses and Bigshit is reluctant to play that game but it means BTS has to put on super elaborate stages for free to ensure that their hoobaes get treated fairly even if nobody gets paid to perform on music shows like Crayon Pop's Way said.

Also personality is a wayyyy bigger factor than fans think it is. If Seulgi had Wendy's personality she wouldn't be half as popular as she is, regardless of talent OR persona manipulation on SM's part. Just off the top of my head Wendy, Seungmin, Hyeri, Jackson, Bom, Jin, Jimin, Jihyo, Rose, baby soul, Miyeon, Lia, and others all have that disposition of eternal insecurity, its truly biological or neurological, like it's just IN them, and no matter how many acting classes they take or therapists they see, it'll never change, it's just who they are.

Wendy is the Anne Hathaway of kpop, she's that annoying kid in drama class who gets way too into it and tries too hard, but is undeniably the biggest fish in the pond so she gets every choir solo and every lead role.

>>70013>I feel like a lot of western k-stans are using it as a substitute seeing as how lacklustre the western pop scene has been as of late.Imo it's because many young girls are fed up with the low standards of western male beauty. George Clooney is hailed as sex god, dad bods are supposedly hot, so teens jump at every remotely young and attractive guy (e.g. Tom Holland).
Plus with the recent trend of more and more men being into makeup, self care etc, kpop boys fit right into that trend. The metoo movement showed that male american celebs are scary, but a pastel haired >60kg k-idol can't hurt you. Male idols also act sweet, while many western men still think that women are into bad guys.
But I also think that there's more and more western celebrities who realized this, what girls are into and therefore try to also change themselves to fit that mold (e.g. Noah Centino).

Taeyang/Daesung were never good (I like them too but they just aren't, it's ok) but I think the issue might be Taemin is, like, literally the only idol to ever get actual support from his co, I've only heard 3 of his solo songs but noticed they were all right in his range, no tricky ad libs or stylizing, not wordy. Ditto for bts Jin's solo piano song.
Kpop already cares so little about the music, we all know, but then vocals are the thing they care about the absolute least within that, i could rant on but I'll just say in the normal music world singers select songs based on their ability, what works for their voice; high notes & ad libs are scaled down for live shows; keys are changed; songs are rearranged. Kpop doesn't do any of this shit and it's borderline
abusive. Esp for the girls, they force them to sing songs that are completely wrong for them, then they get to deal with all the criticism from knetz? it's just so wrong.

good .. and then even not only good, but suitable for a Coachella main stage or sold-out Wembley? Every vocalfag convo helps get the msg out there a little bit, at least I hope kek
>>70078>>70086Yeah this comment is mega cringe by itself but also, more generally, kpop's obsession with high notes is so embarrassing and dated. That hasn't been a thing since the 90s adult contemporary divas like Whitney, Mariah, Celine Dion where they all stuck to the classic pop song structure with the high note at the end after a key change. Pop has evolved so much, literally no one should be seeking out something as old and cliche as tHaT eNdiNg hiGh nOtE

I was browsing through twicetagram and suho's ig, seems to me they've been flirting through insta like baek and taeyeon did…like in the picture. Roughly translated Sana's caption is something along the lines of "1500 happy days" etc and suho's is "that's just a beginning" and the demon emoji

You really thought she'd take your poor and old hairy fatass? kek

Article: "Provocative Couple Performance" Hyuna ♥ Dawn's surprise collabo [2019 Gayo Daejejun]
Source: Mydaily via Nate
1. [+1,611, -67] Even if they are a real couple, what was with this performance? On a year-end show that everyone's watching with their families? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Quite shocking.
2. [+1,459, -73] This is a mating performance, not a singing performance ㅠ
4. [+135, -3] I felt embarrassed watching this with my parents. I had to wake up my sleeping dog and pretend to play fetch.
10. [+85, -2] Were they not able to reserve any hotel rooms because it's the year-end? Why do it on stage like this?
14. [+53, -1] Crazy… on public broadcast?
15. [+45, -2] I was watching this with my in-laws… super embarrassing
11. [+84, -2] Sigh, I knew this would happen. Everyone already knows that they're lovers, did they need to choose a concept like this and take it this far? ㅡㅡ They're both great dancers so they could've showed a stage that shows that off instead of all these sexual acts, rubbing up against each other ㅡㅡ They looked so low class and boring.

No. 70267
>>70261My initial response was no, if anything it's all a big prank or scheme on HIS part (the stalker), like some elaborate viral marketing thing, or promotion for some project or something of his
But then I thought, that sure is weird he found his way onto that flight, i mean what are the chances, there have to be tons of flights Korea>/<Japan right? And I thought sasaengs kept all their info secret as possible, why else be a sasaeng? No sasaeng would deliberately sic this guy on them would they? They'd be just as liable if found out.
And the guy is German and speaks English. Nothing weird there, plenty of Europeans know English esp in Germany, but if jype was trying to get attention of "western" populations or news outlets, well, they kinda nailed it.
And it is weird how detailed this guy has been on youtube, reddit, twitter. Who describes every step like that, esp a guy who supposedly has such genuine intentions toward her and doesn't want to be seen as a bad guy? And those early posts, about killing female streamers who don't accept the advances of fans or whatever, are almost a lil too perfect. Why weren't those discovered among a lonnng history of posts in other subs regarding random topics like gaming, travel, cooking etc just normal shit ppl discuss on reddit. Also if the dude is so certain he's in the right, why is he describing every minute of this epic for all these people who are against him.

No. 70285
>>70278Interesting question bc I'm always the one saying nothing any idol does is organic, heh. I'm not sure by any means but he's clearly deviating from the desired mood/vibe needed from the group at certain times, he's pretty blatantly not following instructions from directors & choreographers. If the whole group is looking happy/hopeful, like in the clip i mentioned or mikro cosmos, and hes not, well… Also that tweet above, if it's true, i mean if a non-bts fan is noticing, hes obviously acting however he's feeling with no regard for how it looks.
I kinda like this tho. Officially BTS doesn't need bighit, bighit needs them, and I can see them getting away with a whole lotta shit now. Junglebook's tattoos were child's play, I want a sex/hooker scandal sooo bad haha
>>70284Yeah I thought all idol IGs were supervised closely, this is also why the sana/suho thing is such BS. I really can't believe theyd be allowed to post something so impulsively, then told to delete it, that just draws more attention to it. I could see that being planned.
But seriously i feel kinda bad now, if he's for reals and nayeon ends up murdered.
No. 70288
>>70286Also agree with the other anon that it's odd how public he is being. Even the other sasaengs hardly ever become so public and seem to sell info on a bit of a low-down.
On another note, I think people are being dumb by paying attention and engaging with this person since it simply edges him on. Just like Twice shouldn't engage with him because it would encourage him.

Someone comments on AsianJunkie's end of the year summary
>I don't want to be mean but I think these ever present, in your face ads you have on the site definitely pay a lot so saying you are not paid and you do this just for fun is a bit… One nice change would be to at least reduce the ads, it would definitely improve the site. I mean, if you are doing it just for fun why this level of terrible ads, right? Just a thing for you to mull over, I'm not trying to be a troll or something, I like your site. Happy new year.
Then the user suggests nonintrusive ads that doesn't redirect to malware as an alternative with some users agreeing. Nothing too bad, right?

Other than Kang Daniel and Pentagon Edawn and a few other unique cases, male idols in SK don't seriously date or admit longterm relationships until their group goes on military hiatus, it's literal death sentence for the whole group to date under contract because it affects their fandom and earnings. Their members will hate them. Male idols date in their 30s when their fandom grows up and is less crazy/chilled (not true in SJ Sungmin's case) because it affects job security.
Kang Daniel didn't care because he is his own CEO but if he was in a newly debuted boyband like Edawn, he would get severely reprimanded or kicked out by the agency.
The same logic would apply to female idols but women don't sleep around and usually want to marry earlier so they don't care about waiting until 30 to date seriously.

Stans on twittering making them mini and heechul situation worst
No. 70421
>>70413>>70414Yes they may be big fucbois or visit escorts but for SK celeb/male idols it's a huge risk to their income to admit a serious relationship. It is a financial decision to admit publicly, like Kang Daniel prob has fewer stans now and Edawn and Pentagon lost a lot of income. That Ikon kid who dated Momoland Daisy denied their relationship although her agency admitted it kek.
In SK idols not dating is seen as responsibility owed to the group for the success of their career, so idols who date get hated by stans of their group mates.
Even an established idol like SJ Sungmin got hate for marrying. Male idols are told to date quietly and never admit to dating (Bet Junglebook dated Mijoo but broke up once they got caught) so they have to end relationships once it goes public, whether they fuck around or not.
No. 70425
>>70420We don't know either of them personally. We have no idea what they're thinking or feeling. Plenty of women get married young. Plenty of women think they'd never marry in their 20s but then they meet someone and whoops, guess what we're getting married! People meet each other in all types of ways, esp via work, and people change their self-imposed life plans all the time due to surprise or unforeseen circumstances. Fans attacking heechul or momo or both are likely just projecting their own insecurity or immaturity. It's really not a crazy situation esp because we already knew of a connection between them.
Also it's easy for "western" or i fans to attribute everything to koreabooness, weabooness but I'd like to actually poll some actual Korean and Japanese people to see if this is just i-fan projection. Korea and Japan are near each other, have a long history and consume each other's media, is that really so horrible? Are american fans of Justin Bieber "canadaboos" ? Were fans of Ricky Martin in the 90s "fetishizing" latinx? Why does jaden smith liking kpop make him a koreaboo? Why does heechul liking momo make him some disgusting old perverted weeaboo? Is it really impossible that theyre just two humans who met and now like each other? The femcel virginity itt is so painfully obvious, I'm actually embarrassed for all of you. Grow up.

No. 70483
I'm disappointed that Heechul's love for young female idols isn't just an act, but on the other hand, Momo's been an adult for 5 years already, she's not a child and she also doesn't look anyway near underage, so he's not a pedo. Visually they don't have a large age gap, it's not like he's fat, hairy, bald or something, like other males his age.
She probably knows that her career won't last long and that she doesn't have many options afterwards, so she settled for an older idol whose biggest scandal thoughout his career is being a weeb.
That's also why knets are so supportive, he's old, but he was never caught doing anything illegal in the 15, 20(?) years since he debuted.
So calm down farmers, she'll live, it's not that awful.
No. 70484
>>70483no one said he’s a pedo. but he’s a creep for publicly crushing on her when she was 18-19 while he was well into his 30’s, only to date her years later. her being an adult doesn’t make the situation any less skeevy, and you’re damn right if he was ugly like choiza, public sentiment would be a lot different. reminder that sulli and choiza’s age gap was extremely similar and look how that turned out. both girls were adults, both men knew them years before dating.
i don’t see this ending well but i hope heechul’s not an ass and does right by her if this is a serious thing. i give it a year, maybe less
