https://www.allkpop.com/article/2020/04/japanese-netizens-choose-the-most-handsome-k-pop-stars-jaejoong-takes-the-first-place17 years after their debut Jaejoong and Changmin still win in terms of attractiveness according to japanese netizens. Do you think that in 2030 anybody will vote for Jimin, Jk and Co.?
While I was a big DBSK fan when I was young, after Yoochun's toilet scandal, Junsu not paying his staff and now Jaejoong's "joke" there aren't many unproblematic members left but nevertheless I don't think that anybody could ever reach that level of success again, not even BTS. Being invited to american shows because inclusivity and kpop as a whole are trendy right now is nothing against the huge impact they had back then.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks most of these boy groups are fugly now.
NCT were fine pre debut all they needed was just the stage make up and crap and now a lot of them don't look right anymore. They looked normal in person a few years ago when I ran into them one time when I was walking around in Seoul but now,
oof. The same goes for almost all of these new boy groups. Why scout attractive people only to botch them horrifically? Is it like a control thing?

>>82007The song, and the album are pretty much what I'd expect from him. The vibe, and all is very him. Piano is 100% what I'd expect, and want to see from him. The only criticism that I have is that the album does show his vocal power, and range. There's no high notes, and big ballad. That was a bit weird for me. I'm pretty sure he wrote the lyrics, for Chocolate, so it's not like he was forced to pick some song SM had laying around. I think it took him so long to put out a full on (Korean) solo, is bc he probably wasn't interested. Dancing isn't really his strong suit. Not that he isn't good at it. He just usually flails his arms, and strips during his solo songs.

I totally see him doing more solo stuff in later years like U-know.
I wanted to share a nitpick unrelated to that. I was watching a reaction to G-idle's Oh my God (which I really liked although the arrangement was not the best) and I've noticed some people new to kpop are always so confused if they are seeing one or multiple people. I don't get this, I never had that issue with asians before lol like they look COMPLETELY different and sound completely different? Are people just dumb? Anyone else annoyed by this?

No. 82839
>>82837He apparently hadn’t danced before joining SM, so if he trained to that level that must have warranted some status as a “favourite trainee”.
I don’t know why he is favourited to this extent though; I understand that a group needs a centre, (e.g. Kai is a centre, not necessarily being favourited but just fulfilling his role,) but that doesn’t explain why he has been allowed to do solo features, always has large verses in songs, is in almost every NCT U song etc. I like NCT but I can’t help but get salty at the fact that most members feel like backup dancers/singers when I watch their performances. Honestly if SM could find a way to put him in NCT Dream they would.

>>82851I kind of think so too, any other explanation just doesn't make sense, that was more than just accidentally botched (and he didn't even have a weak chin to begin with like e.g. Johnny). Is it because he's japanese? Or was it some odd punishment for something he did? It's like they wanted to sabotage him from becoming more popular. But why damage your own goods? He's probably beyond relieved that they managed to turn him back to look more or less the same as he did beforehand.

No. 82857
>>82855Seems like SM realized that botching him up like this only brings bad attenion to the group.Correct me if I'm wrong but to me it seems like he participates more in their variety stuff and Vlives too ever since he got rid of the implants.I feel like SM kinda hid him for a while so fans and antis wouldn't ridicule them for having someone this botched.
>>82856Agree,idk why Taeyong gets praised as if he's some dance god.But as someone already mentioned,maybe it's because he came a long way from where he started.Didn't his company say that he was practically useless as a dancer in the beginning?I still think Ten is heaps better and what I would actually consider a dancer.

>>83047You say that because Eunhyuk isn't dancing as hard as Mark–they just have different styles. If you observe a dance class and watch a choreographer do the same routine as a student, it's the same affect where the instructor has more flow and isn't dancing as hard as the student who has a lot of tension and force in each movement.
This 'style' of putting a lot of tension in every movement makes the untrained eye think "Wow this is really hard" whereas watching someone like Eunhyuk makes it look easy, which is where observations like your own come from. Point is that you can't really say that Mark "exceedingly surpasses" someone who is technically better. Look at 0:53ish and watch the arm wave. Mark's technique is sloppy but since he puts so much tension in his arms, his execution looks tight to the untrained eye. Whereas Eunhyuk
executes the movement perfectly but makes it look super easy because he's more fluid and relaxed in his motions.

https://pann-choa.blogspot.com/2018/04/enter-talk-its-random-but-i-always-feel.html>IT'S RANDOM BUT I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE THIS EVERY TIME I WATCH KNOWING BROS>Since they don't edit/filter their videos, I think that you can clearly see the guests' visuals on it. For celebrities who always looked pretty or handsome (especially idols), when they appear on Knowing Bros, their image on screen comes out so realistically that sometimes, I go "huh?… is that how the XX I knew look like..?" Especially idols, when they appear with their weird hair color.. On stage, the images are all filtered and they have stage makeup on, they suit their hair but when looking at it realistically, their visuals decrease a bit… Personally, I think that Twice and Exo are the ones who looked the best.And imo Itzy were by far the most shocking. Even their uniforms seemed cheap, they really looked like a bunch of weird fangirls in a school talent school. Of course their skin texture is still smooth because they're super young but a couple years of idol lifestyle will transform that and their hair to shit too, on top of their already (below) average bone structure.
I also found all of Seventeen and many in Wanna One really ugly but I haven't seen all episodes, so maybe there are more (or even worse) groups out there.

No. 83185
>>83146Thank you. I think the habit of dancing as hard as possible has been a huge practice in recent years because one way to distinguish yourself in the industry is to have a challenging dance along with your song. Imo kpop is to the point where the dancing is more important, or at least just as important, as the music.
Personally I am sick of the emphasis on dancing. I've grown up a dancer for all of my life and initially got into kpop because of the dancing, but kpop being this 'package' of singing, dancing, and visuals ended up giving more importance over time towards visuals, concepts, and dancing as opposed to singing and music. The industry as a whole is devoid of any personality for me because of todays' generic music, strict reliance upon choreography & lack of natural showmanship(?), and the oversaturation of groups and releases.
I now can see why Koreans haven't regarded idols as musicians and have a stigma against them. Even a group that started out self-composing like BTS ended up buying songs from Western producers and becoming extremely generic over time. Idols fundamentally will never be actual musicians imo because their personas and catalogue are tightly controlled by the company. Slightly OT personal story but I was in a lecture where a professor of a famous Korean uni said that Lee Sooman has some two-hundred page guide to creating and marketing groups to different audiences/countries across the globe. I've since looked it up and I think NCT and the concept of Neo Cultural Technology is basically built around this (but NCT fans might have differing opinions). There's no doubt in my mind that other companies would do the same if they had the ability (money) to do so.
The only thing that might restore a bit of hope in me is more bands and artists who improv on stage with little to no choreography. I'd try k-indie for something more refreshing but the majority of it bores me to tears.

>>83209Seems like her videos (which are essentially just vlogs) get 1M views within less than a day, that's more than many idol groups could dream of getting for a music video. Plus she also stars in commercials, so she's probably making good money but she's not at the level of fame her dad wants her to be.
I also feel really sorry for her. The same fate is probably awaiting Wooyoung and that new underage halfu girl too. Never happening but I wish there was a law banning minors from working in the entertainment industry.

>>83188This video confirms my initial thoughts that Taeyong should absolutely not be a rapper. Not only is his rapping tone grating on the ears but his singing tone isn't all that bad. With some proper training he could be a decent sub vocalist and actually give Jaejoong vibes like he did in this video (and like LSM intended when casting him).
Also, I'm not a fan of NCT in the slightest but every song feels like Mark and the boys jfc. He's really not that talented to warrant him getting as many lines and as much screen/center time as he does. There's plenty of SM idols in other groups who aren't pushed as hard but are more talented than him imo. Can someone tell me what even is the cause of him being the favorite? He's kind of ugly and short tbh and his dancing is overrated as I've explained here:
>>83078. I'm pretty sure it's not due to money alone because Chenle of NCT Dream is wealthy af but Mark still was the favorite from what I've seen when he was in Dream.
No. 83226
>>83216I totally agree. Their group chemistry and potential is the best out of the NCT subunits so far and I can’t imagine what it will be like when all the 00 guys leave. Mark leaving was already sad. Their singles have more variety and every member is a great dancer/performer, especially considering they’re still young.
Thinking about NCT’s trajectory in general, they really didn’t use their initial momentum to its fullest. I hope 127 revisits that Limitless concept, and I want more interesting U singles with less utilised members (but that will never happen…)

What's so wrong with letting people debut at 20+? Agencies should just stop releasing idols' ages and you'd have people unknowingly fangirling/fanboying over 30+ year olds. As long as you're not so old that you can no longer dance properly it shouldn't matter.
They're just way to obsessed with the concept of being a student. On that note, since Song Hye Kyo was mentioned
>>83099 I recently read that she and a bunch of other big actresses basically only got famous because they were known as "ulzzangs". People would even come to their school to take pictures of them.
>The earliest known use of the label has been attributed to a group of three high school girls Song He Kyo, Lee Yu Jin and Han Hye Jin who collectively became known as the "Eun-Kwang Ulzzang Trio", named after the school they attended together in 2000. All of the three eventually went onto pursue modeling and acting careers.I always thought that at least actresses and actors in Korea would start out normally, like through theatre or acting school, yet even the highest paid and most prestigious celebrities only got their career thanks to their looks.

Their groups would be better off without them. An idol's job is singing, dancing, being pretty, thin and charming. Some are so entertaining that they can get away with not having any talent, some are pretty enough to cancel out their lack of talent and personality and some are so talented that people don't really care about them not being attractive but the above don't have any redeeming qualilities. Some are simply useless and some might have it all but are so obnoxious that you still hate them.

>>83315>>83305I'm a vixxfag and even I'm ready to admit Ravi is one of the worst rappers in kpop, sometimes his voice works well enough but in worst cases his parts sound like a completely different, much worse song had just started out of nowhere. Vixx never would have needed a rapper imho. His solo music is abominable too. I can think of maybe 2 songs worth listening but rest is garbage and every song sounds the same, and it doesn't exactly help he autotunes his voice to hell. I've seen even other vixx fans complain about it. As far as kpop rappers go his personality doesn't seem to be that awful, he seems like ok guy who just has awful taste in everything (his yolo tattoo is a good example) but the standards are not exactly high there. He's a pretty good dancer and has a hot body so I guess he's got at least that, but so do many other idols lol.
But why N and Hyuk though? I thought N was among the fans one of the more popular members, is undeniably the best dancer in the group and has stage charisma. He can't sing at all but he has pleasant enough voice so no one seems to care. He used to be obnoxious when he was younger but you don't really see that from him anymore, now he's one of the more likeable members imho. His looks don't fit to the sk beauty standards at all though, I'm not familiar with how the sk fans feel about it but at least in the western fandom you only see people complimenting his caramel skin and talking about how hot he looks in drag lol (I agree). I think he's gotten more handsome with age, which for idols is rare. I guess he looks like a basic twink who grew up but that's kinda my type lol
Hyuk on the other hand is one of the blandest idols I've seen both looks and personality wise + he's sometimes rude to other members so I kind of get it, however I personally think he has a pretty good voice that should have been better utilized when they were at their prime. He's an ok dancer too so I wouldn't call him useless.
If I had to name another close to pointless member in Vixx it's Hongbin, he has the face that perfectly fits to sk beauty standards but that's literally all there is to him, he's weakest member talent wise and seems to loathe being an idol. Wasn't at all surprised when he got drunk and insulted idol music on livestream. He has done close to nothing with his life but one crappy pepsi commercial song and livestreamed video games since Vixx hiatus started, I guess his plan was to become a full time streamer before that scandal happened but now he can't do even that. I kinda feel bad for him cause he seems like a very unhappy person, he's said he's aware he's the weakest member and feels bad about it but couldn't he just find a normal job and leave then. He wasted his youth in an idol group, he could have become an actor with that face if he had gone that route, he's been even in some dramas I think but now I don't see him getting any roles for a while.

>>83342I was a fan too in the past and I pretty much watched all shows/interviews they participated in but even back then I basically had to force myself to like those 3. I think the main reason that sums up my dislike for them is because they're pathetic.
>RaviPretty much for the same reasons that you wrote. Did you see him on Show me the money? That was so hard to watch, he acts as if he's tough shit but he just doesn't have any talent whatsoever. He also seems angry most of the time, which combined with his lack of skill makes him appear even more arrogant. Plus I can't stand his face.
>NAlso arrogant, seems like a petty bitch. He can't take jokes and talks way too highly of himself (maybe him saying he's the best/the most attractive is just a joke but it doesn't come across as charming at all…) He acts so desperate for approval, it's just really offputting. Example: when they went to Jeju island and he was pissed because the owner of the restaurant they visited obviously didn't know them, that was so cringy to watch, why would you ask for free food when you're basically a nobody? I also find his face creepy because it's so small and round.
>HyukHe's pretty much the opposite of them but also absolutely not likable. I remember that the members got asked about solo activities and when it was his turn he just laughed awkwardly, because he's got nothing going for himself. Imo he's one of the useless idols. Neither goodlooking nor overly talented nor an entertaining personality.
Ken acts obnoxious at times but so do many idols. Leo is weird (maybe even an ass irl) but he attracts fans meaning he does his job and Hongbin just never stood out too me in a positive way but he acted serious most of the time, so he's at least not annoying. My opinion about him vastly changed tho after that drunk rant, pretty pathetic too. I agree with you about him being unhappy, all of them probably have huge regrets, they likely will have to work normal jobs in the future. Many wonder why Vixx never really succeeded despite their bodies, interesting concepts and good vocals, but imo it's because of the members itself, mainly their personalities. I don't even think that the way they act is something that was assigned to them by their agency, it's just that they themselves aren't likeable enough to get a big fanbase, they simply lack star quality. Sad because the songs weren't bad, but they just weren't meant to make it, they were doomed right from the start.
I didn't keep up with any of them after their disbandment, what are they doing now? Ravi makes "music", Hongbin streaming and the others?

On top of that, her bff is the most popular member with a bunch of cf offers, tv appearances and a successful solo.

not sure what yutas chin looks like atm
anyway, the intended injection doesnt necessarily stay where one wants it, it can migrate.
worst part is, you need to dissolve that stuff rather quickly. it can bind with tissue (can, doesnt always). when that happens, its gonna stay for a long long time.

>>83473>Fuck my hopes for a new GOOD bg from SM then.You realize that they'd be born in 2005 or even later, right? Stanning the current NCT Dream is weird already but being excited for an even younger group…
No. 83489
>>83473No, that's the opposite of what's happening. SM has explained this really badly.
What's happening is this: NCT Dream will now have fixed members (Chenle, Jisung, Renjun, Jaemin, Haechan and Mark) but those members will rotate based on the comeback. So one comeback might just have Chenle and Jisng, another might have Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle and Mark and another might have all the members. No new members will be added to Dream and no members will leave.
Basically it's just SM trying to get around not always having Haechan and Mark in the group when they're busy with 127 promos.

>>83489Stupidity.
Here goes another failed project.
This is somewhat what happened back in the day when Elf’s refused a rotational unit (think in 2006 ish) and SM had to comply because the riots went to far.
But this time SM fucked up because they could’ve just created a different unit for those old dream members and kept the Dream graduation concept.
It’s a good way to introduce kids into Nct.
Dumbasses took it as they would make the kids leave permanently lmfaooo.
Sm is failing.
Investors are mad as fuck rn probably.

Does anybody else also think that Taemin has an eating disorder?
He debuted super young, so at that time the "naturally skinny" excuse might have valid, but even back then the group talked about dieting. Later for his solo debut he went down to 57kg.
>“I have the tendency to gain weight easily and I can’t really do any diet at all. My trainer made me try dieting and exercise but I think somewhere along the line, it was miscalculated and I ended up losing a lot of weight.”
How can you miscalculate that? Just stop if your weight goes too low?
In Sperm he's "in charge of dieting" in the group and Baekhyun even told him he has to eat.
There are so many eating disorder rumours about people who are much heavier than him, yet he always get's away with it despite being open about restricting. The most bullshit excuse I heard was "He prefers being skinny because dancing is easier this way!"…

in order to be in the business you gotta have a certain look/features.
having a defined face seems to be one of the main things for guys.
taemin puts on weight in his face fast.
so for shoots, comebacks etc he will try to get low in bf (hence loose the weight he put on during japan touring or whatever) and ending up very skinny but showing jawline.

His arms are a bit better now, but overall not much. He's still much more skelly than thin female idols (or that idol trainee in this pic). He collaborated with Hara and Sunmi who are both know to be amongst the thinnest yet his legs were still skinnier than theirs.

It's a mess regardless and absolutely nowhere near as efficient as the AKB system; if SM really had the balls they'd hold a Senbatsu and give center to whoever sold the most covers instead of shoving Markyong everywhere (Taeyong has lots of fans so he probably would still get center, but it'd be fun to watch Jaehyun/Ten/Renjun/Winwin's fandoms fight too)

>>83549Because LSM is also hellbent on pushing Markyong for whatever reason. AKB and Johnny's groups also have extremely popular members like Rino Sashihara, but even she hasn't always won center positions every year the way Taeyong has. Also they're not afraid to demote or bench members - the girl who shaved her head was pretty popular, but she got pushed to an obscure unit as punishment (fucked up thing to do imo) and had to work her way upwards again.
In NCT's case LSM would rather slit his own wrists than stop pushing Mark and Taeyong for one hot second; if he wants NCT to be a brand bigger than its members he needs to give other members a chance to do shit in songs and promos too

>>83448I don't think so, I think it was some desperate kboo who actually fell for it.
>>83451I prefer this to the new GGs that are painfully trying too hard to do the badass girl crush concept. Not only are they being smart by moving from a fleeting male fanbase towards appealing to the female demographic, but they're also doing it in a respectable way, not resorting to the typical girl-crush or sexy-concept. Imo they're a success story among older groups who fail to keep the momentum & hype going surrounding new releases–whoever has designed their last three comebacks deserves a ginormous bonus.
>>83461I'm the original anon, FUCK YES I'm so happy. I'm not happy that they'll prob be in 127 or WayV from time to time but it's a smart decision because if they get moved to bigger sub-units they'll have hardly any lines. Though it kind of sucks that Mark is going to be in Dream again bc the other members finally got the chance to shine after he left.
>>83486It's only weird if you stan based on age (aka you're a pedo) or you expect to have a crush on the members. I don't 'stan' groups like that personally so I have no issue with being a casual fan of Dream. It's not weird to appreciate talent or music, and NCT Dream is the most listenable of all the subunits. I'm a fan of Shinee and they caught my eye initially because they remind me a lot of Shinee. NCT Dream is the only NCT subunit I have any faith in like
>>83492 said. Every other unit has deadweight members and tragic releases.
>>83490How is the 'fixed' NCT Dream worse than a graduating unit? Kfans were already petitioning for them to be a fixed unit. The graduation system doesn't work in Korea, see: After School and Nine Muses who had so many lineup changes that their group promotions became obsolete.
>>83494Eh I feel like the number of fans for the kids who were on PD X 101 is going to outnumber the fanbase for the other members. That name is awful as well.
A slightly OT question but does it ever turn out that a group with members who were on a show like PD101/48, The Unit, etc gain fans for the members that were not on the show? I've only seen these groups (CIX, Weki Meki, gugudan, etc) regarded as "[famous trainee's] group" which seems like it works against the group as a whole.

>>83559I've learned not to trust 'dancers' who critique kpop groups on Youtube because the majority of them are kboos who teach themselves kpop dances and maybe go to the occasional hiphop workshop. I actually knew of a girl who went to some hiphop classes in Korea at 'famous' studios seen on Youtube; she was actually really good to watch but knew nothing about other dance styles or technique.
On the other hand, even if they are classically trained (10% chance that they are), I also grew up as a company dancer and I knew of girls who danced alongside me and made it to the pre-professional level despite not being pleasing to watch. IME some people that I trained with were technically dancers who had danced for a long time, were capable of difficult skills, but weren't good for whatever reason. They could do the same thing as this person, say that they made it to the pre-professional level, and convince you that they have the authority to decide who is a good dancer and who is not meanwhile they're not that great to watch themselves. Given that, I'd need to see this person dance before I consider their opinion as anything valuable.

There is a theory involving that (warning)
Many high ranking politicans and celebs were involved in the skinning of a childs face, and they use the Wilson ball as a nudge towards each other like a ''joke''
There was a picture of Jay z, Ellen wearing the wilson face on a hoodie, some talk show host had the wilson ball face on his wall.

>>83595Stanning imo involves becoming interested in the personalities of the members. Not all of them are exceptionally individually talented but I appreciate the group and the cohesion they have as performers; I also prefer to look at a group with 5-6 members instead of however many 127 has. I don't think there's any exceptions to a group theoretically not 'needing' anyone beyond 7 members. Any number past that is redundant, not that there aren't deadweights in groups of 7 members and below. But generally deadweight members muddy the performance, can't sing/rap so they're unpleasant to listen to, and get camera time that could otherwise be utilized on the more talented members.
A good example of this is The Boyz, who I wanted to like because I think a handful of members are attractive and decently skilled, but the seven other members take up the majority of camera time and detract from the time that the potential-star members could have in songs/videos/variety/etc. I genuinely think this holds back a number of large groups and that a majority of the groups would be better off with seven members at most.
I've reduced LOONA down to five members before in a theoretically ideal line-up (though my opinion doesn't mean shit lmao) and I could probably do the same with The Boyz and other unnecessarily ginormous BGs as well. The only exception to the seven member rule might be Seventeen, but I don't know much about them.

Very interesting video, also nice to see that many fans at least seem to level-headed enough realize that they're also guilty of doing that or rather that they too feel victim to their marketing scheme. I tried to summarize it because it's very long.
"Why is Blackpink so popular although there's no music?"
>you get no personality content, personal questions are always very calculated, so how can you say you love the girls?
>individual members are promoted over the group, you never see them together -> actually genius marketing, super low effort
>they're not selling music or personality, but the ultimate self-insert fantasy
>theory: they never intended for BP to be a long lasting group, they instead cash in on the influencer wave by selling a fantasy: they're pretty, wear brands, party in luxurious places, don't sleep in usual idol dorms
>they have different archetypes and this business model only allows for one of each to be there
>Rose: indie girl who sings and plays guitar, raised in Australia, long blonde beach waves
>Jennie: Blair Waldorf fashionista with an attitude, some hate her but fans love her because of that (people get furious if you say she's not that fashionable because that would mean you take something very essential away from her)
>Jisoo: visual-next-door unlike the others she appeals to the korean audience
>interesting: many Blinks are also Ariana Grande fans and what is she known for? many impersonators
>they're the most popular thinspo atm, body image issues amongst fans
>explanation for the popularity of "Liskook": shipping is also part of self-insert-fantasies, but usually only within groups
>when it comes to BTS fanfics it's usually Jimin (because he's sm0l, loves to cry and starve) who serves as self insert for girls with Jk as the love interest, the latter's part is usually the bad boy turned good guy
>why is Lisa the best self-insert? she's a foreigner, more "relatable" because kpop stans also aren't the most popular in school, young girls are usually insecure about their looks and experiencing their glow up through Lisa, she's also quirky but people praise her for it. She's also badass and wears boyish clothes, she's not like the other girls, but she also does aegyo, meaning the best of all, she's every girl. Her real personality is very ambigious, she's clearly playing a character, never shares anything personal on instagram, no captions, lots of blank space to insert yourself into. Everything you know about her is that she loves dancing, the rest is up to your individual imagination. The girls don't follow anybody, not even each others, you don't find out anything about their actual personality or interest.
>But! by buying their product (often not music related), you can feel closer to them
>people love to complain about YG, but why would they change the strategy if fans keep supporting anyway?
An interesting comment:
>I’d argue that Jennies favouritism also gives a self insert aspect to Lisa. It gives a “mean girl” to Lisa’s “underdog”, even though Lisa’s the most popular member as long Jennie continues to be favoured it gives Lisa stans more to relate to.
Would explain why the favouritism is so extremely blatant and continues even after repeated critism.
Others also pointed out that Jennie stans love the idea of her only acting lazy because she's supposedly depressed - and the glorification of mental illnesses is a huge problem nowadays amongst many teens on the internet.

>>83707I would think that buccal fat removal isn't a thing in Korea because Koreans like soft faces/not-angular faces. People don't get cheekbone filler but rather filler into their cheeks–I've never had filler so don't ask me for any more detail than this. I'm shocked that Sunny even had buccal fat removal but she probably was trying to get a 'smaller' face overall bc she's so tiny.
>>83700It's a thing for people who want more angular faces but imo it's useless unless you have an angular face already. Baby-faced people have softer faces because it suits their natural facial harmony and procedures that go against that will fuck up your face.
>>83720This picture makes me sad because until now I'd forgotten how she was genuinely so cute and beaming with 'joy' (pun intended) when RV debuted. She suited the cute maknae role really well on stage; Yeri being added probably made her cute maknae act obsolete but Yeri definitely pales in comparison to the energy that Joy had in their debut.

>>83819Korean men react horribly to feminists which is why there are no openly feminist idols. It could be career suicide if an idol were to be revealed as a Megalia user for instance. Some have been in controversies for exhibiting suspicions of 'feminist' behavior–Naeun with her "Girls can do anything" phone case and Irene who read an extremely popular "feminist" book surrounding a Korean woman's depression and experiences with sexism (which has since been made into a movie because it was so popular). Jihyo was in a controversy used the term "oong aeng oong" a while back which is supposed to be the sound of a mosquito but recently feminists use it as a term for when men speak (lmfao). People who want to witch hunt assume her usage comes from the latter and now label her as a feminist, the same way that a celebrity might be haunted by some phrase they used that Ilbe users might say; an example is like if a man positively mentioned terms like "sexual market value" and "Jordan Peterson" you'd immediately recognize them as a member of the manosphere. But obviously being a feminist isn't as bad as being an ilbe user, esp considering how poorly women/girls are treated in SK–men are just so out of touch that women who want basic human rights and equal treatment seems like oppression to them.

>>83764And speaking of variety skills the last groups I've seen that can do a variety show well are Exo and some of the members of Red Velvet and I don't think it's entirely the idols fault. Companies told idols to stop acting silly and to focus on being "pretty" instead. Sooyoung from SNSD got told to stop making fun of the one white lady who spoke Korean poorly on a TV show even though it was a popular gag to do back during I think the Oh era or the Gee one. It seems like companies are more strict with their idols behavior starting around 2014-15. NCT wouldn't have been glared at by their staff on V Live if it was like 2009ish rn.
That's a part of why Blackpink's and Oh My Girl and many other groups variety skills are summed up to "I'm cute". I can't see them doing what SNSD used to do like distorting their faces and putting on ugly make up for a laugh. The gag was that they were pretty but look how silly they can act/look.
Of course the personalities of recent idols also attribute to the lack of variety skills. Exo Showtime still makes me laugh and I haven't been into them in years.

Now companies can just force a group into its own bubble on a Run BTS or Blackpink House, where they don't have to step up and improve their social/variety skills & can just stay in their cocoon shut off from the wider Korean variety show scene. It's why BTS seemed funny on their own shows or Bangtan Bombs but were total duds on Knowing Brothers where watchers aren't clued into fandom in-jokes.

>>83857>It seems like companies are more strict with their idols behavior starting around 2014-15. Which is interesting because imo companies in general became more lax in regards to looks, weight, training etc. I think that back then they simply assigned every idol a more individual "personality" than they do nowadays and had them practice that. There's an old SNSD interview in which they said that SM trainess have to come up with one new talent every single week, so that they do well in tv shows. They just focused a lot on that and it paid of because it gave idols the chance to shine individually and get their name out to the general public. For example Heechul would be a nobody if it wasn't for the dozens of variety shows he was in. I think the girls of RV are definitely not bad personality wise, but if you compare what SNSD, Suju etc did back then, to Irene saying her hobby is ironing…it's just a lot more boring. And like
>>83866 said because of V live and Youtube they can still make money and keep the fandoms happy with much lower effort.
I hate the cutesy act of many idols nowadays, while girl crush concepts are absolutely trending, it seems that many of them took a step back, I haven't been able to finish a single BP video because their voices and fake shy/pure behavior is so grating. "Human Chanel" who supposedly dated an Exo member shouldn't giggle and hide behind her hands when somebody mentions kissing, that's just unrealistic.
A couple years back it was also considered normal and a-okay for female and male idols to be on shows together and to interact with each other in a friendly manner. Just imagine if a variety program put BTS and BP or Twice in one room…their fans would go beyond mad. Idols of different genders being friends became unheard of too.
>>83860That's because they're "ugly" and therefore them acting funny is seen as a cope. People only accepted SNSD and the other 2nd gen girls because they were pretty, ugly girls will get hate no matter how they behave.

Ratmys are so delusional when it comes to their oppars' plastic surgery. Remember when everybody joked that V must be Baekhyun's little brother? How come the latter still looks similar to his younger self while V got a completely new face? Your chin and jaw at 24 won't be thrice as wide as when you were 18-20 while your nose shrank, that's not how aging works (unless you lost or gained a significant amount of weight, which he didn't). It's not like he debuted as a child and is 50 now, he only went from late teens to early 20s. I don't understand why it's so important to fans that BTS are natural, can't they just be content with the way he looks, plastic or not?

>>83998i know bts fans use the “they struggled sooo much” spiel over bts getting plagiarism controversies early in their career but they definitely tried clinging to other boygroups like bigbang and exo in the beginning, talking about looking like or wanting to be like members and using memes and challenges from those groups, one of their early youtube videos was them all singing taeyang’s eyes nose lips. it’s really not a big deal but it’s annoying that armys are too delusional in thinking it never happened, so any rookie group saying they admire bts or posting covers are just clout chasers to them. if another group posted a video all singing a bts song in stupid voices or being really dramatic they would have their career ended, but bts doing it to taeyang is cute and them being innocent fanboys
kpop fans in general talking about idols struggling is so dumb to me. i don’t mean the genuine abuse that goes on, i mean fans whining about “they didn’t start off popular!!” when within 3 years a group is doing arena or stadium shows. there are so many musicians who will never get any real recognition after 5+ years, but to kpop fans it’s heartbreaking if a group doesn’t win a meaningless trophy or get whole variety show segments to themselves after a year. not being popular is a dark past or a struggle to some of them, it’s laughable. it makes sense when they prioritise popularity over anything else but it still comes off as a fake sob story so you won’t criticise their poor oppas who had it so hard

>Ikon's Bobby releasing a track and Rat claiming he's dissing him, all netizens say it's obvious that the song is not directed at him and that Rat is only trying to get clout.
>Rat winning a best rapper poll and even back then people said it's because ratmys are always spamming. But the ifans comments are all about how amazing BTS is - in 2014! Meaning their suffering and nugudom really didn't last long.
>Saejagi accusations because their sales exploded in just one night. http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2015/05/pann-bts-and-sajaegi-suspicions.html?m=1
>when winning against Exid V sang Big Bang's Loser and apologized by saying it's his fav song and that's why he sings it all the time>when Vixx won they tried to get screentime by making "funny" faces>at the Ladies Code memorial V sang and danced while the girls were close to tearsAnd when BTS won…
>1. [+6,017, -1,843] Yes, next sajaegi>2. [+5,248, -1,343] Where are the digital points~~~~?>3. [+5,050, -1,345] Sure now show us your receipts~>4.

[+1,208, -364] Sajaegi BTS, show us your receipts!Fast forward to Rat making grand speeches about some groups cheating while they win fairly…
Besides, they debuted in 2013 and just one year later already placed 3rd in most sold kpop albums of the year, beating out SNSD, JYJ and TVXQ. The "nobody came to our concert" story they always tell was probably their very first which is completely normal. Only BP and TXT were famous right from the start, other groups even from the big 3 also struggled in the beginning.
They basically did everything they now accuse others of doing.

To the original anon
>>83881If you like ITZY or any girl crush group you're best off going back to the OGs of the concept aka the original "ugly" BlackPink, 2NE1. 2NE1 has the best catalogue of upbeat, catchy songs imo, but they might sound a bit dated/obnoxious if you're not above the age of 15 and/or familiar with late 2000s/early 2010s pop music. I also like f(x) for upbeat electropop.
>>83902I'm not a fan so I'm not biased towards one member nor am I super familiar with them. But from my observations, U is rotational I think, but Dream is fine, best lineup is the current one with Haechan and no Mark. Haechan should be kept in Dream imo.
That only leaves 127 to judge, and my opinion is that a number of the members are literal eyesores so much that their 'talent' does not make up for it. See: Taeil (good singer, awful dancer), Mark, Jungwoo (even though he's supposedly a visual?). Yuta might be included but I think his dancing is one of the best in the group and his singing is decent enough, and his face can be rescued with some revision work. Then you have Johnny who is just there (aka untalented, no purpose) so he gets the axe. Lastly, huge controversial opinion but Taeyong should be eliminated as his past of bullying and scamming reflects a huge character issue that harms the group. That leaves: Jaehyun and Yuta
(only maybe after surgery), then Doyoung (I suppose but he's also a horrible dancer and kind of freaky looking as seen in
>>83946).
So that means NCT needs to be filled in with at least 2 to 3 members. This isn't that bad because SM should have access to packed global auditions where they can find guys who have visuals and then hone their vocal skills. But since this is what NCT looks like, clearly that ain't working. SM's best bet is to beg that guy at Cre.ker Ent to come back and promise him a bonus and a raise so that they can scout and train actual visual members. I refuse to believe that tiny ass Taeyong is the best 'visual' of this generation; they can do better. LSM just has some weird obsession with him and Mark (who is ugly as sin and is a living, breathing contradiction of LSM's past quotes about visuals and 'pretty kids').
>>83903>>83905It's because this thread is full of NCTfags. How is NCT 127 even so popular that we have a number of obvious NCT fags? They're ugly af for the most part and the only actual visual member is a manlet. And NCTfags–don't respond like "b-b-but Jaehyun!!" because that side profile is wretched and you know it.

>>84148I've always had such a soft spot for her and Seolhyun. Both are so pretty and sweet (without being annoying), never had any scandals (Naeun never dated in 9 years since she debuted) besides falling for a predator like Zico or getting death threads because they did something slightly feminist (imo Seolhyun definitely is tho lol). They would have deserved being in a group like RV with nice concepts and many female fans and not being lusted after by "uncles" before they even turned 18…
And I think Naeun still looks pretty (a lot fresher and younger than your average male idol her age who debuted that long ago). You have to keep in mind that the makeup style for idols completely changed, back then during "We got married" they were allowed to be a lot more natural and tan, now they're stark white with red lips, of course she's bound to look different.
>>84135The argument of non-Korean East Asian or SEA idols being a-okay but not non-Asians (or halfus like Somi) because "kpop is for Asia" is flawed since kids in Korea or other Asian countries don't need Asian representation because most people in their countries are Asian anyways. Nearly everything they see on tv is Korean, there are hardly any country there natives have so much representation. The people complaining about this and hating on that Russian girl are Asian Americans who probably have no idea how living in Asia even is like. They're only bitter because they think they "deserve" being an idol and meeting their favs more than her. Besides, if Asians are allowed, then what about people from e.g. India or Israel? They look probably even more white than Lana but hey at least they're fully Asian? If you say this they usually claim they meant only East Asians. So what about Thai idols like Bambam or Lisa?
The idea that different Asian countries are somehow an unity who all share the same/a similar culture is actually more racist… Most Koreans dislike other Asians but tolerate Japanese, Chinese, Korean American or Thai idols because at least they look somehwat similar (the latter only if they bleach their skin), that's literally it, there's no deep connection between them because all Asians gotta stick together or some shit lol. If anything, people from eastern Russia probably share more similiar values etc with Korea that somebody who looks the part but grew up in the US.

Then a bunch of other fansites and a few sasaengs got angry because he'd been fucking around with them too and telling them it was just them. Someone released recordings of phone conversations she'd had with him and though the actual conversations were pretty boring it was definitely his voice.

>>84400>>84402It's definitely gotten worse lately. There's a difference between giving a group an english song and sending Baekhyun, Taemin and Kai to basically debut in the US despite not knowing a lick of english. Chances are that SNSD's korean fans also listened to that english song, that's not a lot of effort, the Sperm debacle on the other hand… Monsta X interviews/performances are also hard to watch, it's obvious that they're only seen a second, less successful BTS. And Red Velvet in their cutesy uniforms in the US… lol just weird.
I don't get why LSM didn't just go the same route with NCT as he did with EXO: japanese fans are so loyal and China has endless money, cater to them instead of America. By saying WayV is the chinese NCT subgroup they basically blocked all the other members from having a legit career and earning money there.

I feel like SM has really missed the boat over the last four or five years. Twice, Blackpink and BTS have been enjoying massive success both domestically and internationally while SM is scrambling in the background to get some action. Yeah Red Velvet is popular but not like Twice or Blackpink.

>>84428On the one hand I agree but I also doubt that they'll ever change the way they treat them. If anything, if SM goes down completely they'll take the idols with them.
Remember when Taeyeon started crying because she was groped on the airport due to no bodyguards? Meanwhile NCT has probably more security than members…
https://twitter.com/ngocanhle258/status/1215897399316475904 This always makes me wonder how rich/influential nowadays idols' parents really are.
Lately I read somewhere something about Exo fans only being annoying because they really never get anything and thinking about it, that's so true. The only variety show they're sometimes on is Knowing Bros and their own show was 7(!) years ago. And then you see that all NCT subgroups constantly upload vlogs, have interviews in the US etc. Baekhyun even made his own yt channel (filming himself this his phone…) but because unlike for NCT this is not included in his schedule, so he hardly gets time to do that on top of solo stuff, Exo and Sperm. They might joke about NCT getting treated better but I'm sure that they actually feel quite bitter about it. It's no surprise that BTS fanbase is so big if they get content nearly on the daily
and excessive promotions. Especially teens who could potentially become new fans really want stuff like lots of selfies or personal videos.
I don't really know that much about RV but if Twice has so many comebacks every single year on top of hardcore pandering to male fans, of course they stand no chance. And while BP wore only the most expensive brands since predebut, attracting lots of little girls, Wendy has to walk around wearing a carpet…

Is Itzy considered to be a successful rookie group? I’m curious how they’re doing as the successor to Twice’s smashing popularity. Their videos are popular on YouTube and stuff but are they actually selling well, developing a fandom, making a good place for themselves in the industry etc?
No. 84443
>>84438honestly i’m pretty sure most of these idol’s parents own a few buildings or are successful doctors and not ultra rich. what type of rich person would allow a company to make their child to wear a bright green bag as clothes and have no body guards.
if sm cashed in on the interest i got a boy and call me maybe had, snsd and exo would have stronger western presence and exo couldve possibly blocked bts from gaining many international fans. nct has no hits that stuck with the gp meanwhile exo and shinee we’re making double their numbers in their second years after debut. if lee soo man wanted an akb that bad, they should’ve turned nct 127 into korea only and made a whole new american unit that had native speakers and mixed koreans.
>>84442i feel like jyp buys bots for their music videos and do a little sajaegi or however you spell it, but for the most part they are doing well. twice didn’t make it huge until cheer up and tt, so itzy is doing amazing with icy and wannabe sales. i just wished they knew how to sing, then they’d be the whole package lol

Goes without saying: YG idols are the biggest sluts. Yes, that does include BP. Especially Jenny.
Then what follows is the rest of companies. The majority sleep around a lot. A LOT. The boys more than the gals. Mostly cause the boys sleep with their groupies and I have not heard that from the gals. I am not talking about the screaming groupies you see on TV. It is the star fuckers. If they are famous, they will be sought after. Quite a few are models.
Take exo: no surprise here, Chanyeol is famous. Baekhyun doesnt mind getting hands on. Sehun has mixed rumors. Some are saying he might not be exclusive to men. I am using the word rumors here as I have not heard of first hand confirmation. The rest is confirmed.
Suho is a total sweetheart and his manners are more refined. Xiumin is famous too, gets around.
What has been said in ex-idols vid, the thing about it being a zoo is true. They have sex with many other people, often industry related. Most are one time hook ups. The part of them having multiple girlfriends and sometimes boyfriends is also true. Some, very few, have recurring hookups in certain cities. Others screw someone new each time they are in a city for a concert.
Having no layover time and a tight schedule, they use blacked out Escalades to screw in. Go to LA, the need for black Escalades for Kpop boygroups is well known in the industry circle. Being exclusive with their current girlfriend is not a common sight.

apparently it's not uncommon for these girls to be non-koreans (of all nationalities but a friend said eastern european's pretty common since a lot of eastern european girls in korea are in the sex trade anyway) since it means their korean won't be as good and running their mouth to the press will be that little bit harder.

Clever SM has come up with a cash grab idea.
They will now hold online live concerts.
This will apply to all of NCT (so WayV, Sperm, NCT Dream and NCT 127).
Price per group is apprently just over 25 USD. Wanna watch the lot? Thats over 100 bucks.
As always you can also buy tickets together with stuff you dont need (merch) with your favs face plastered on it.

Why do you worry about about BTS exercising even tho they're far from skinny and NCT doing a little fanservice then in a couple years they're gonna live like this with some model or actress on their side? They're probably laughing about the broke and pathetic women who pity them and throw even more money at them just because they act a bit sad.

typical douchebro vibes
taeyong also seems like an ass, solely from the fact that he's been proven time and time again to he a bully and just hides behind the SM pr team and fanshields
the only one that seems humble is maybe mark? he doesnt seem to be as materialistic as the others and has been named multiple times as hardworking, but who knows. he is pretty endearing and little-brother like, but sometimes his hysterical giggling grates on my nerves

most of wayV members except Lucas and Yangyang act pretty chill around Ten so there's certainly a difference in their and 127's attitudes.
No. 84836
>>84812>>84815>>84817Ten keeps throwing himself at the other guys and they likely know or at least suspect he's not just acting and therefore are weirded out by that. Fans think it's sooo funny that some of the members look deeply uncomfortable but it's actually just gross. Nobody wants their friend hitting on them or constantly making hints about their sexuality. Ten sees that they don't like it but keeps doing it (like James Charles), of course they're no longer gonna be nice to him. On top of that he also acts stereotypically sassy and catty, constantly "playfully" insulting others, that's also not a type of humor everybody can appreciate.
There's a difference between being a homophobe and being annoyed by a dude who acts like a drag queen constantly wanting to do fanservice with you.
Even IQ 70 Lucas is pretty patient with him, if this was the real world, a frat boy type like him would've beat Ten up already for not shutting up or not keeping his hands to himself.

>>84832i think another anon already posted above and i agree with their sentiment, but lucas, taeyong, jaehyun, johnny, and jeno all seem like assholes
lucas is pretty obvious–meathead persona, loud, yells all the time and thinks he's a gift from god. to add on the other anon talking about him making fun of kun being fat, kun eventually went on some diet but refused to talk about how he did it because he didnt want fans to replicate it….fill in the blanks there
taeyong just seems full of himself because he's lsm's golden child despite singlehandedly causing almost all of the scandals for nct. hes a known bully and im sure the environment where everyone just sucks him off about how talented he is probably isn't helping him reflect and grow as a person
jaehyun and johnny just seem like spoiled rich boys, but theres been multiple videos of jaehyun just snobbishly staring down other members, and he doesnt seem to have a relationship outside of a professional one with any of them. same with johnny, he just seems out of touch and enjoys using his physical strength/height to bully others
jeno was controversial for a bit for apparently being a xenophobe? i cant find the clip anymore because SM took it down, edited it out and reuploaded it, but basically chenle was trying to read something in korean a little slowly and jeno was getting visibly impatient with him and beating his own chest to get him to hurry up. it probably isnt xenophobia, but its pretty rude to do that to someone when theyre obviously trying to do something not in their first language…
No. 84839
>>84835lmao i'm not judging by this video only, it's just one instance. i don't really care about them anymore but when i did i always noticed how judgmental and fake doyoung is. and everybody knows he openly hates ten so there's also that.

No. 84866
>>84837Exactly. You can't judge anybody's character just by them being annoyed by a truly obnoxious person. Fans are quick to call anything a women does in regards to male idols inappropriate, but Ten shoving "btw I'm gay! teehee" and "let's pretend we're dating" in the other members faces is supposedly something to be celebrated. If he acts like this on camera (despite knowing how risky this is as an idol), just imagine how he acts in private…
And I never thought I'd ever defend Lucas, but Ten calls Kun fat too. Just in a lot more backhanded way which likely hurt him more than brainlet Lucas shouting immature shit.
No. 84869
>>84866oh ten is
problematic for sure, honestly i have a soft spot for kun since he genuinely seems like he does care for his members, i dont think there's any clip of him being mean or making any kind of rude/backhanded comment, but so many of him getting "clowned"

No. 84872
>>84870i don't think it's a homophobe thing, just a "lolcow assumes the worst of everyone" thing. ten making a dumb joke becomes "ten is an annoying piece of shit and everyone hates him", doyoung smiling innocently in a video becomes "doyoung is a raging homophobe and everyone hates him", haechan having no tact becomes "haechan violently assaulted jaemin and everyone hates him."

I feel like his role is a bit like Suho's, the somewhat bland and mature leader who get's clowned by his members, but with Exo you at least see them also relying on him a lot and appreciating that. Same with BTS, no matter what, at the end of the day you can see that they respect their leader. The only time NCT are nice to Kun is when they're asked to list positive things about each other. I hope he succeeds when he eventually goes solo or into acting, him being mature and disciplined is a plus when it comes to this.
