The only members that had any other training before joining the company were Jimin and J-Hope who were only trained in dancing.
Suga and RM were underground rappers but were under BigHit at the same time, and V and Jungkook auditioned.

i hate kpop fans obsession with line distribution. if your bias can't sing, they aren't going to get many lines and they shouldn't. a fandom might not care about putting up with shrieking because they still like the idol so they can talk about how much they've improved and how hard they've worked, but if a company wants a song to actually do well with the public then they need to have either the best singers and the most popular members getting the most lines

Erm, this choreo has nothing to do with JooE getting meme'd. (especially now that Momoland got noticed because of her, Nancy is by far the most popular. Either her or Yeonwoo), it's because she's the "comic relief" of the group so she always is highlighted doing a weird or funny dance/move, in this case it was her screaming GRREEAAAT right in the middle and being energetic with her thumbs up. They've been doing stuff like this with JooE before she got meme'd (tropicana literally just called her to do the ad because they thought her dancing was funny)

I read the lyrics to Twice's new song and it's even worse waifu bait than their usual "Ahhh I like him so much but I'm too shy to say it!! Oh no!!! What do I do, why won't he notice me!" stuff. The never been in a relationship, so desperate for someone to have that with angle gets dumb when we already know at least some of the girls have been with people before and there's probably more than just Mina that's been with a member of Got7/that new JYP boy group.

The songs sound childish and they're just setting the members up for a serious fall when they have real dating news come out, I wish it was more common to actually sing about being with someone and not sounding like a 14 year old after reading YA romance books and talking to a boy in her class one time. It just feeds creepy possessive fans.

"Pink sneakers get replaced with pretty heels
Awkward short bob gets replaced with shiny long hair

I think and think about it
But I still like you
So I decided, fast forward

On my two cheeks, I’ll put on some blush
Change my baggy uniform into a fitted dress
I know it’s crazy
I think I’m so into you
I feel dizzy but I don’t care
Right now, fast forward"

This is probably my bias for Jin speaking here but I wouldn't say that he has zero talent. He supposedly went to a decent university for acting and wanted to be an actor. He also seems to be well-liked on variety shows.

As other have mentioned, the lolification of TWICE is real. I remember coming across a comment somewhere talking about how Momo and Sana had noticeable deeper voices on Sixteen compared to their songs now. I haven't really watched the show myself but the comment mentioned how Sana was made fun of for sounding "like a man" then. I checked out a Sixteen performance where Sana's voice is deeper (skip to 0:40) and she sounds like a normal girl.

And Suho had rhinoplasty around the time their first album came out, I'm also thinking eye surgery since he has a lid scar. Don't know about a jaw shave, his chin is still the same and in candids his face still looks round.

OT but people saying "oPpaR dIdN't hAvE PlaStiC SuRgeRy" exasperate me so much. It's obviously so visible a lot of them had it. Look at BP's Lisa, SNSD as a whole and GD and then tell me they haven't had shit done. Why wouldn't they as idols? They're getting paid to look good, might as well get that nose fixed.

Porn and sex positivity is a scam produced by the cultural industry in order to sell more while mantaining the status quo and absorving the ideology while extracting it from its original meaning.

Meanwhile in Asia the woman as pure and daughter is more valued, and less threatening, than the sexy woman, so for them infantilization it is.

Everyone defending him "oh he's just grumpy! oh he has depression! oh he's secretly a sweetheart" needs to spit out his dick for a second and listen to him in some of the interviews. He honestly sounds like a major asshole.

Also disagree with

What's with the superabundance of PS done in SK, I severely doubt that. No agency takes someone who isn't at least moderately attractive. The talent they can shill and cop and make someone a "visual" or rapper if they can't do anything, and both attractiveness/talent can be enhanced.

Can i just say how much the BTS fans nickname "armys" annoys the fuck out of me? Besides the fact they have to screech it on every comment section they encounter and hoard up their annoying cult together, it's such a stupid name, like i would get it if the general fandom was called an "army" as a whole but one fan calling themselves that makes no fucking sense. Petty I know. And a lot of kpop fandoms, if not all, come across as pretty cult-like, especially the ones in Korea, i'm not gonna lie they scare the crap out of me.

Anyway, i don't understand this intense need of most fans to put their biases or favourite groups on such high standards and cry about how revolutionary they are. I enjoy EXO but they're nowhere near an amazing groundbreaking level of musicality, they hardly write or direct their own songs or choreography (apart from Kai). You can enjoy someone's work and admit it's not amazing or a huge impact on the music industry, chill the hell out and just have some fun with the songs if you like them. I think it's just the mindset people have, that if they like an idol they want them to be the best at everything and a """legend""" so they can justify liking them to other ppl. Meh, just wait until these fourteen year old fangirls grow up and realise they were dedicating their whole life around a highly manufactured band with mediocre tracks they've forgotten about and have made little lasting impact on anything. It cracks me up when i see them praising and intensely analysing a kpop song, i'm like dude, it's a fucking throwaway bubblegum pop dance song, shut up.

I feel bad for them. Their only good song "If You Do" was their first promotional track with a sleek and darker concept. Instead of just sticking to that, JYP made the brilliant decision of having his group switch back to shitty dance tracks immediately after. They'd be way more nugu if it weren't for their international fans and still can't be popular domestically. Also Jackson's probably their only charismatic member so that must set them back.

Something that i've always wondered when seeing all these crazy diets - could it be that Koreans, or (East) Asians, just have extremely low BMRs in general?

Of course there are some idols that look downright ana-tier, but many who admit to eating very little actually look quite good? E.g. Seolhyun and Hong Jin Young both said they only eat one (small) meal a day, yet i'd say both of them look healthy, Jin Young is even on the curvier side. I know that they're shorter and have less muscle mass on average, but nevertheless…

As a stupid teenager i starved myself and even though i still ate twice as much (or even more) than them, it was enough to transform me into a skeleton within just a short time. Many of my friends are skinny and told to eat more, yet the amount they consume would be considered gluttonous by korean standards and i only know one out of many chinese students at my Uni who didn't balloon up within a month, because they counldn't handle our fatty food and big portions.

So, maybe since all Koreans eat very healthy and little since childhood, their bodies are used to that and therefore it'll take them really extreme measures to be able to lose weight?

(Pic is Hong Jin Young)

No. 241569

>>241567
Well, they're short and small so they would definitely have low BMRs. Just like Asians get obesity related health issues at a lower weight, they can stay healthy at a lower weight and avoid looking skeletal the way a non asian might at the same weight/height.

I don't think it has much to do with how healthy or how much they eat during childhood, they're just smaller people with lower energy requirements. Idols have to diet to an extreme extent because of the pressure and because the camera adds weight.

It's possible to eat 1200+ calories of those things in one sitting and call it a meal, anon. There's just no way to know. The first thing you said sounds way more plaussible; starving a couple days a week and eating normally in between photoshoots, schedules.

No. 241581

lol, i doubt she's doing that. so she can have a 1200+ sweet potato and chicken food baby for the rest of the day? not a hot look. i never considered that a possibility because it's pretty retarded, especially considering an idol's schedule.

and why advertise starving if you're eating regularly most days? why not say you typically eat normal food when you aren't busy? idk, there's clearly an image they want to portray here, and it's to play up the idea that they're ethereal waifs that don't need food.

No. 241583

>i doubt she's doing that
based on what exactly? starving yourself isn't exactly common sense yet these kids do it thoughtlessly so why wouldn't it be plausible she binge eats those foods when she has her meal time. seolhyun isn't the one that does the one meal a day thing.
>why not say you typically eat normal food when you aren't busy
no idea, that's a good point actually. i'd love to see the context of these diets. like were they asked what they eat on an average day, or diet foods for when they need to lose weight?
who really cares dbh, bottom of the line is all idols starve and are retarded to do so when they could just eat their TDEE and not live off literal peasant foods.

I'll probably never get Korea's seniority system.

In this video V called out Jin for being too slow, yet Jin kept insisting that he's already doing his best.
Afterwards he did apologize, but also said that he should never forget that he's the older one and therefore critizising him will "hurt his pride".
They're both in their 20s and Jin's only 3 years older, yet V is not allowed to say that he's a shitty dancer because of their age difference…?

No. 241603

>>241598
Yeah it's very embarrassing, Jin is the worst performer of them all regardless of age he should be way more humble but since their culture say that you're automatically the most valuable / your opinion hold more weight just by being slightly older it must really bother him when one of the younger members criticize his work.

I also got the impression that she panders to them the most.
I'm the same age as her and just the thought of pretending to suck my thumb and looking "innocent" while wearing pigtails makes me wanna puke.

Jungkook will survive as a soloist easily when he's in his late 20s, and probably do better than if he stayed in a group, he reminds me of Rain a bit. V could go solo and do ballads and OSTs if he would just get some fucking vocal coaching, but instead he'll probably just do mediocre acting and modeling. RM and Suga could survive as producers and songwriters, maybe rappers without much commercial success in Korea. J-hope would do well as a choreographer and on variety shows. Jin could do well on TV; talk shows and food shows. But I have no idea what the fuck Jimin would do. He's an alright singer and dancer but it seems like he'd break down on his own. If he's lucky, he might become a watered down version of solo Taemin.

True, I looked better and she obviously got a nosejob. Her new nose is super cute and fits her face much better imo, it's indeed a good job. Of course her crazy "stans" will deny anything until their last breath though, even with photo and video proof in front of their eyes.

Now that I think of it, can we discuss hardcore fans and their denial for PS? As far as I know, in Korea PS is pretty much accepted, and Korean fans know that idols get some work done 99% of times. Western fans though have a hard time accepting that, and get seriously defensive. Which is ironic, because by acting as if PS is the worst crime you could commit they're being judgemental towards their own "faves", that's way more offensive than pointing out obvious plastic surgery.
Usually you see the same behavior from neckbeards obsessed with cosplayers like Nigri, and neckbeards do that thinking it could give them a chance to sleep with the girl. But why do kpop stans do that? They're often hetero girls, defending girl idols. What do they gain?

You're saying this as if idol personalities aren't constructed/forced by their companies. Groups are supposed to have members with varied personalities to fulfill specific roles and appeal to more fans after all. Jungyeon has said in interviews that she hates the tomboy image she has in TWICE, yet she's still styled more boyish-ly than other members to stand out from the other girly members. Not trying to justify the fan service itself because I do think it's gross. Just saying it's possible that Nayeon is being told to play up fan service to cater to male fans rather than doing it willingly.

A lot of the fans who call out older male fans or older boy groups like Super Junior don't care about age issues when they can sperg over two girls pretending to kiss. They're worse for defending Hani though, she loses her shit over 16-17 year old girls and talks about how much she loves them and would gawk at them "sexy dancing" when she was on Weekly Idol. It's creepy as hell but if they can twist it to make it seem like their fave is super progressive rather than as conservative as we know a lot of idols will be then they will

Big Hit should have debuted Jin as an actor or entertainer rather than forcing him into an idol group when he still can't dance, sing, or rap too well even after all of these years. I think it's believable when Jin says that he can't move any faster than V asked him to when they practiced. That means he's just not really cut out to be a performer, and he probably got defensive because V's criticism further reinforces Jin's often-perceived uselessness.

i'd say Sana is more deliberate than Nayeon at the fanservice stuff. She does a lot of "accidentally" pulling her skirt up too far in performances or videos, it's just part of the ditzy bimbo act, even if it's hard to see how much is an act and how much is just her being an airhead

That isn't really a surprise. If you really believe idols behave all cuddly and pure IRL in the same way they do during livestreams/shows/BTS, you're a fucking retard. Even the behind-the-scenes are majorly set up and they definitely act different than when they're by themselves.

Those kids are teenage boys. If they wouldn't behave like that, I'd be worried. Almost every boy/young man behaves like a douchebag until their brain matures, none of them are the "pure smol bois" their fans insist on them being.

I think the main difference between Sana and Nayeon (and the reason i think the latter more) is, that Sana seems just genuinely dumb. She simply realized that acting dizzy made her popular and just continues doing that.
Nayeon however seems a lot more calculating and less forced. There are many instances there nobody but her is acting up for the camera - yet she still does it. That's more than just living up to the cutesy image that's pushed on them by their agency on stage or fansigns.

The only men that like that (to my experience) are 1- really dumb men (any age) that think it's the girl being quirky and unique, but some wise up after a while 2- "Uncle type" men that don't care if it's fake or not, they just like seeing women being dumb, fragile and lesser than a man.

it annoys me so much that loona is such a big group (12 members) with one of the best and most intriguing concept and YET they lack so much in talent.

ONE. one out of twelve members is a competent vocalist.

they don't have THAT main dancer that you can tell is the main dancer. Like Momo, Seulgi, etc…

They can't act too well either.

To be HONEST, a lot of the members should have not debuted with the group.
BBC (their company) had them (50 trainees) COMPETE against each other for a spot in in the group and i don't know how some members made it in.

Also, all of those trainees were pushed aside for the last 4 members who are new to the company. SERIOUSLY? were they that terrible that GOWON was better?

So here is a list of the members that make me question why they are in:

Yeojin (too young and childish)
Vivi(lacks talent everywhere)
Choerry (lacks talent in singing for the big role she's got in the group as one of the most important members)
Gowon (just why? i mean she's pretty but she's so average even in dancing and her voice isn't too good)

i wish kpop groups were smaller and just with members that HAVE talent. i think the girls are debuting way TOO SOON and they'll end up criticized like Twice once they're put together.

I was always kinda confused with the hierarchy, but tried my best to respect it, they didn't push it too much on me cause I was not korean. I think something that always confused me was why they'd never payed the bill equally, it was the older the one to pay and then it was kinda "agreed on" who was going to be the next one to pay. looking back if I knew better I would have scolded a girl that was my junior that was rude to me for not knowing that I should've taken off my shoes at her house (she kinda yelled at me), but well I was too embarrassed anyway

Cool video and nice song. I just wish the lyrics in the chorus were in Korean or weren't a line as obviously fangirl-pandering as "Can I be your boyfriend?" Baekhyun and Taeyeon were (or are) a thing so I doubt he'd go for some crusty tween girl when he can get with her.

I've heard so many comments from Korean people about how fucking garbage K-pop song lyrics tend to be. An anon earlier posted lyrics to a TWICE song that made me want to laugh at how bad they were. Makes me glad that I don't speak Korean fluently. I'm sure my enjoyment of K-pop would acually go down a lot if I did.

Vivi is a strange case. She can't sing or dance, and can barely speak Korean. You could write her off a visual….but why import one from China…and why pick a 24 year old girl? That's practically a grandma in the idol industry. (BBC lied about her age. Her actual birthdate is in 1993, not 1996. You can see the real date on her old modeling profiles, and on a leaked image of the BBC trainee list.)

The girl must have some serious connections…or bought her way in through the unsavory exploitation kpop is infamous for.

The scandal was pretty funny because it made them look like real, normal people for once. Kpop would be infinitely more interesting if everybody was allowed to act and date like real people instead of pretending to be "pure" idols who only care about their fans and have never touched a member of the opposite sex.

I'm so bored of people going to Netizenbuzz to comment on mean articles about their unnies and oppas that have about 80 upvotes on the highest rated comment about how Netizenbuzz hates them and that's why they translate bad things.

NB posts articles that get clicks. Anything about Exo/Twice/BTS will get clicks from fans talking about the haterz!! and a few "DAE song is overrated" comments. Anything about Sulli or IU or Hyuna will automatically get clicks because people will go straight to the comments to complain about the evil k-nets slutshaming their feminist icons and write about how Hyuna's actually really deep. Obviously they're biased at times but the articles that get translated are the ones that get clicks. That's it.

Right now it looks like the comments are about how there's too many positive BTS comments and too many negative ones about Exo and how she's too BTS biased, but it was NB's translations in 2015 that really fueled a lot of the hate to BTS (before the fandom got so big and obnoxious that they managed to do that themselves).

The only group you can really confirm gets negative comments because of bias is JYJ, NB made a post years ago about how she'd never translate a positive JYJ post again because the positive comments were only made by fans and fans downvoted negative ones… like fans of anyone do. Even though Yuchun is confirmed a dick at this point, she translates a lot of outdated and debunked problems, posts false transcripts that were corrected weeks before, and generally only posts blown out or false reports on Junsu and especially Jaejoong. The majority of positive posts about TVXQ that get translated are only posted because of the "wow, so different from those other 3" comments. It's not a place to count on for any news because the priority is ad money and clicks, so if it's a false or unpopular or irrelevant post that i-fans will comment on, it'll be posted.

i haven't deliberately looked for anything related to her and only see what's posted where i'm already looking, but she seems like one of those idols that people project onto a lot and like her more for their "OMG imagine irene ____" tweets more than for what she actually does. i think she's more likely to be on the spectrum than most idols i've seen talked about on twitter, because any idol who's ever done something slightly unusual will be decided to be on the spectrum by stan twitter being desperate for diversity to be a fan of. most of what i've seen about her is that her biggest hobby/interest is doing laundry, which is a weak attempt at a charming personality quirk even for kpop

It's ridiculous how Koreans aspire to have a thin and pointy nose with a high-bridge even if it doesn't match the rest of their facial features. Namjoo's and Serri's features are too soft and not angular enough that a thinner, pointier nose sticks out like a sore thumb. Same with G-Friend's Shinbi too. Visuals like Yoona and IU have noses that are cute and rounded yet a tacky triangle nose seems to be more desirable regardless.

Yeah, it's racist. K-Pop groups in general are just made up of (and stanned by) tone-deaf, racist Koreans who are obsessed with black music/fashion for the "cool" factor, but hate actual black people, mock their features, and would get anxious if they saw a black person walk by. The majority of Korean trend-hoppers are like that, too. This shit is "normal" to them because their entire culture is like that, but that doesn't make it any less grim (especially when they constantly duplicate black music/aesthetics/dancing).

I mostly feel sorry for Taeyeon. Her section was mostly nitpicking imo, save for 2 or so instances. She doesn't look bitchy too me, just generally depressed.

honestly if it was SM who told her to act that way they would've changed their mind by now since it gets brought up negatively so much. they told Jaejoong to act cold when TVXQ debuted but when it was getting criticised they told him to drop the act and just be normal.

Also, while there are many korean artists that are obsessed with miming black music and fashion, these 3 certainly don't.

Call me racist, but my first thought was also "Hey, it kinda vaguely resembles a black person's lips, i bet some fans are gonna say that's racist". That's simply how non-blacks and non-americans think, it's just an observation, not negative judgement.

I'm actually African (Nigerian) too, so I can't weigh in on it too much from the American perspective, but IMO, it's not really the same when people in that group joke about it, as opposed to people from outside of it (especially people as far-removed from actual black people and cultures as Koreans).
It's like how it'd be kind of gross and racist for a non-Asian person to continually make fun of an Asian person for having single-lidded eyes, but if their family members or (Asian) friends do it, 99% of the time, it's not coming from a place of anti-Asian sentiment or trying to make the person out to be a freak/foreigner (since they're in the same boat), it's just roasting.

Any black person who likes K-pop is honestly kind of a self-hating coon, in my eyes. Accepting this level of disrespect and even defending the people who keep doing it is cringy.
The irony is that if any of these groups ever want hope of making it outside Asia, they're going to need black people to give them a stamp of approval, since western pop culture is basically dominated by all the "cool", normie black people. That hasn't happened yet, and I hope it stays that way.

2. That fan (and you) might have been fine with sharing, but Suzy didn't have a choice at all, she was in no position to deny her.

I really like the point >>243220 made: what if a foreign fan went to a fansigning of a muslima singer, gifted her some hair accessories, then took off her veil and put it on her? And said singer would have to smile through it because her agency demands her to always smile, no matter what; people would be up in arms…

kpop fans seem like some of the worst at accepting that there can be a middle ground on something. every time there's a really tacky, cheap looking, generic sexy concept with the same american apparel knock-off clothing that gets criticised, the fans will jump in with "well, at least they aren't in clothes for children and pretending to be innocent while singing about the same thing!" and vice versa.

it's almost like it's possible to have a song and video, even a sexy one, that doesn't look like a desperate attempt to imitate tacky porn but without doing anything that's actually too suggestive OR that makes idols into loli bait

i'm always glad when a saesang gets a reality check that their idols despise them. not that it ever actually gets through to them though, they still end up just glad they got acknowledged. out of context it seems a bit extreme but i couldn't blame a group like db5k for shoving these stalkers away or anything, the way they were treated was horrendous. a lot of people who start defending saesangs as soon as an idol actually does something seem to think they're all 15 year old girls who're just big fan girls but a lot of them were women in their 20s who did stuff that shouldn't have been legal. i don't care when i hear about an idol shoving a stalker or calling them a bitch anymore because honestly i'm just surprised there hasn't been a bigger incident of one of them properly beating a saesang up. and if there was it probably would've been a jyj member and sm would've made it common knowledge years ago, but even the worst of their saesang clips turned out to be edited to sound worse than they were so they definitely didn't do anything worse.

the evil sm conspiracy is definitely exaggerated sometimes but if they had real big dirt they'd use it. some fans claimed jaejoongs was completely fake but really it was just edited to have some parts repeat to sound like there was constant hitting rather than a couple of shoves

I can already hear the delighted JYJ fans glad that one topic of their 10 year argument can finally be dropped now that both sides have evidence of hitting saesangs.

I still love when there's TVXQ/JYJ drama because Cassies are still obsessed enough that every issue becomes dramatic, but the groups are so old that a lot of kpop fans only really know OF them and then realise that old, respected, can't say anything mean about them idol group are as messy as any other group. Most of it these days is either just a reveal that the members are actually sleazy or Netizenbuzz translating already resolved drama or completely false reports that were already clarified. The Changmin video could actually do pretty badly for them in Japan because they're already in a touchy place for having a map without Japan on it in one of their new MVs.

But this has random key changes, some kind of shout-singing that somehow didn't learn anything from Signal and honestly sounds like a B-grade song used as background music for an advertisement on daytime TV.

Koreaboo Armys spamming youtube comment sections were tolerable compared to the new breed of hyper obsessive "i stan btspop" types who sperg about their oppas being real artists because their producers throw them 2edgy4me songs.

Headliner is a ~~sasaeng~~ fansite owner who runs one of the top fansites for Jungkook. She must be loaded because she can afford follow BTS everywhere, like when she followed them all the way to the BBMAs from Korea.
The other major incident involving her was when she somehow managed to get BTS's schedule, which is undisclosed to the public, and was able to take pictures during BTS's stop in NYC when they were flying from Korea to Santiago. In addition to figuring out their private schedule, she also had to coordinate her own flights and arrival times with BTS's in order to be there to take the photos.
Apparently she's also made comments about killing anyone who makes bad comments on VLive about Jungkook, but I can't find them.
She's insane but nobody really discourages it though because without them they wouldn't get pics of their baby boy~~~

I can understand Nayeon getting so much screentime on regular MVs since she's pretty popular with the Korean audience, but this new 'Wake Me Up' MV seems to be geared towards a Japanese audience hence the j-popish style. Why does she get to have more screentime than the actual Japanese members? She has the kind of face that would be disliked in Japan.

Does anyone else think K-pop, and Korea by that matter, is VERY shallow and superficial, like nothing they produce seem to have any deep or philosofical aspects to it? As if they're souless. I've been watching a lot of Korean movies recently, to be more precise those deemed "the best of the best" and so far none have impressed me all that much? Again, there are some really good ones but they never resonate deeply inside me. Don't even get me started on the k-dramas, most of them are shit and cringeworthy.

Back to K-pop: I get it's meant to be generic and westernized and I do like some parts of it but I believe we had more originality in the past. Every song sounds the same nowadays. I'm trying to find anything, be it a movie, drama or song that'd make me go "oh that's Korean culture" like when I listen to J-rock I don't compare it to regular rock since it's so unique.

Pic related, this is from an episode of Hello Counselor where the older sister hates the youngest, A LOT of Koreans seems to think like her so don't say it's an isolated case, there's too much evidence to prove otherwise.

Damn, I know this is a thread about being critical about Kpop but it seems OTT to simplify an entire nation and history based on their manufactured, mass produced pop music. Bong Joon Ho and Park Chan Wook are some of the best directors alive right now, and little they make can be called "shallow". The former even even made his debut about a teacher killing dogs that talks about corruption and Korea's sudden transition from immense poverty to a highly developed nation displayed in the different attitudes towards dogs.

preordering albums from western or japanese artists at least means you'll have heard a couple of singles to kind of know what the album quality should be like, but kpop fans buy 5-20 copies of an album they know nothing about at all. kpop fans have the skills to tell it a song is omg such a bop, song of the year!! based off of one heavily edited teaser photo

No doubt that BTS fans will make a ton of excuses and praise the album even if it sounds like garbage. The group's status is undeniably established at this point and, to be real, 99% of their fans aren't solely into them for their music. K-pop as a whole is way more about visuals than talent, actually, and BTS is a K-pop group rather than the groundbreaking, game-changing artists that their fans want to believe.

BTS's music has been on a decline after The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt. 2. Maybe it's just me being a K-pop fan with shit taste but some of the tracks in that EP were alright. Now BTS have no excuse to try to improve since they can sell well now.

tbh I can understand preordering an album you haven't heard yet from an artist you really like because even if you wind up not liking it, it isn't a HUGE waste of money and you still supported the artist, but ordering a ton of copies just to get a certain photocard or whatever comes with the physical albums seems so frivolous.

I wouldn’t put too much on album sales. The geniuses at those record companies put raffle tickets for the official fan meets (the ones where you can go and do high touches and drool over your idols). I knew a girl into exo (we live in korea) and she legit buys 20 of the same albums every time theres a release just so she can up her chances of winning a chance to see them. Now she always stuck selling copies of albums that nobody wants to buy.

The buying multiple copies thing is a marketing technique.
Many kpop albums have multiple version and come with randomised extras like posters and photocards. If you want to get everything, or even just your bias photocard or whatever, you're going to have to drop a lot of money.
Then there's the meet and greet raffle tickets that come with newly released albums. The more albums you buy the more chance you have at meeting your oppa/unnie for 10 seconds.
It all sounds like a fucking cult.

Its just so brilliant. Yet these autist fans cannot see past any of it. They don’t realize that XX idol doesnt actually go around giving back hugs to his male friends, acting cute for attention, or being fake tsundere 24/7. Its SO obviously forced and out on, but their fans eat it up and act like so and so are so deep, and acting like a two year old ACTUALLY means he’s an intellect who values youth blahblahblah.

Album sales are still relevant if you're comparing idols to each other (as opposed to legit artists). Every fandom has equal opportunity to bulk buy, so the relative difference in sales is a legit indication of which group has a bigger fanbase and the most purchasing power.

The more important thing is determining what publicized information is mediaplay and what is accurate. They'll write about 'pre-orders' that don't end up turning into actual sales because it just means that's how much they shipped to stores, or they'll give articles misleading titles to make groups seem more popular than they are. Recently there was an article about BTS overtaking Kara to be the number 1 foreign artist in Japan!! Amazing achievement, until you figure out they meant BTS beat Kara's first week sales (not total) from 6 years ago, and the real record for first week sales still belongs to BoA, and that first week sales aren't evidence of being the top foreign artist at all. They're fucking shameless and fans are too stupid to fact check, so they believe anything they read.

there was a bigbang 'documentary' on youtube a few years ago, idk if it's still up but i think it was on an mnet associated channel if anybody either remembers it or cares enough to search. there was a part where a producer/ex rapper was talking about the hierarchies in a company like yg in the early 2000s and he said his role as a trainee was basically just rolling joints for higher ups and getting slapped by them if he did anything wrong

It's mediocre and the only thing that really made it break out is the whole teenage angst shit, the heavy literary allegories because RM seems to be a Germanophile beyond belief and teenage girls eat up anything poetic, and the heavy forced ~bond~ between them.

Your post got me interested so I looked up more info on how sexual harrassment/rape is treated in South Korea:
https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2017/11/11/560335264/south-koreas-sex-ed-guidelines-suggest-victims-are-to-blame-for-date-rape
>"From the perspective of a man who spends a lot of money on dates, it is natural that he would want a commensurate compensation from the woman. In such conditions, unwanted date rape can occur," the curriculum for high school students reads
>Tips to respond to sexual harassment, also for the high school-level curriculum, include "step on his foot as if by mistake."
>The manual for teachers of elementary-age students includes the statement that "male sexual desire can arise quickly on impulse, regardless of time and place."

The South Korean education system is seriously fucked if this is what they're passing off as proper sex ed material. I could see how it was messed up for other reasons, like its support for privatized education via hagwons and dependency on standardized testing, but the article made me see how backwards the country still is socially. Like other anons have said, South Korea's upgraded technologically in such a short period of time but has yet to develop culturally.

How is that repressive in anyway? Nobody needs porn to express their sexuality. That being said, the South Korean porn industry is especially disgusting. This was all from the most popular porn site in SK before it go shut down:

>The website and several of its members are currently facing charges for criminal activities ranging from ‘hidden cam’ videos illegally shot in public places, brokering underage prostitution and drug trafficking, violence against women including genital mutilation and conspiracy in gang rape, defamation, and extortion.

>Taking nude or pornographic images of friends or family members without consent and posting them on the site for ‘sharing’; some have gone on to extort money from the victims by threatening to post more photos or videos
>Buying underage sex and brokering teens for ‘swapping’ sessions; inviting unknown Soranet members to take part in such ‘parties’
>Some men have even sneaked into unknowing women’s rooms and installed live action cams
Particularly (in)famous is their tactic of sliding a camera between women’s legs when riding the escalator or walking up the stairs
>On November 14th, 2015, a user posted the photo of an unconscious woman’s body, partly nude, along with the tagline “Whoever posts the best sexual insult against my girlfriend will be invited to participate in a rape session at a motel in Wangsimni (Seoul)”.
>A week later, two users posted “rape invite”threads – one of them was the November 14th user.
>The SBS broadcast also interviewed RPO, civilian organisation working on exposing the criminality of Soranet – their members concluded that on a daily average, 3 rape “invites”, over a 100 hidden-cam “girlfriend” photo posts, and 20 to 30 regular hidden-cam videos are posted.
>Another user, who walked away from the scene of a gang rape, explained the users’ psychology as “numbed…used to the Soranet system which rewards behaviour and words which in society would be considered heinous – the more heinous, the more the users or participants are hailed as brave and manly”. However, he also emphasised that no user felt guilty or afraid after posting pictures of their girlfriends or spouses, as they are certain they will not be held responsible and that there are no victims, since they usually do not post the women’s faces.

She probably only got her eyes done. It's standard for k-idols even if they don't have anything else done. It's pretty rare for idols to have monolids, but it's starting to be a bit more commonplace now.
I do love JeongYeong's new blue hair, TBH. I hope they let it grow a bit more than just chin length.

I agree. Also I'm definitely not trying to be rude here but Jeongyeon could pass off more as a SEA rather than a Korean girl. I don't know how to phrase this well but from what I've seen, Koreans have longer faces and smaller features whereas Jeongyeon's features are a bit bigger, rounder, and closer together. If I didn't know who she was, I'd think that this pre-debut pic of her was of some random Vietnamese girl.

Boring and generic beat and V heavy breathing for 3 and a half minutes. The music video is half glamour shots and half him getting shown up by the backup dancers. It's listenable (unlike Stigma), but it's still…not good.
I don't hate BTS, but I really am shocked at how their fans can mindlessly hype up mediocre song after mediocre song. All of KPOP is pretty mediocre in my opinion, which is fine, but I always see BTS fans act like their group is different. If that's the case, don't they feel disappointment over them releasing underwhelming stuff like this over and over? Where do they draw the line, if they actually care about the music? At least it's an improvement from Euphoria I guess, not that it takes much.

I don't mind the R&B vibe and it suits his range but it just wasn't well executed imo. I feel like there's potential in Taehyung's voice that's just not being utilized.

There's that one performance of them together with the Produce 101 girls and they aren't any worse in dancing or anything (simply because it was super easy to begin with) and wearing an ugly outfit your agency has chosen for you doen't mean they're less attractive than Korean idols.

The only time he ever looked like a semi-normal human being was when he embraced his inner middle aged asian lesbian.
It seems like fans are always going out of their way to compliment the uglies from their groups on their looks. I don't think any of them actually believe it, it's probably just a pity thing. Fans should just compliment them on something else, surely they have some actual redeeming qualities. Pretending like he's beautiful irl is just silly, he's in and photos and video enough that he should have looked good at least once by now if it was true.

It doesn't really matter to you because they have asian genetics and eat asian food which is way less caloric.

It's funny that people still believe they "Asians are thin because of genetics". Most young Asian girls have Ana tier diets, it's just in their countries being Ana isn't really talked about so they feel eating 900 calories a day is normal. In Japan I noticed it's perfectly ok for a woman to openly say she's gonna starve herself for a few days. No one is naturally fat or underweight unless they have some kind of medical issues.

No. 249117

>>249115
honestly i think a lot of it just comes from kpop fans who won't accept that they're not skinny like an idol because they don't diet/exercise like an idol and would have to put in a lot of work to look like that, and would probably have negative side effects after a while. it's easier to keep claiming that sunmi naturally has a bmi of 14 and she tries soooo hard to gain weight but just can't because they can use that as a way to excuse wanting to be thin and not.

the "she tried gaining weight and can't!" excuse is so annoying too. it is not hard for an otherwise healthy 20something to gain enough weight to just hit a bmi in the middle of the normal range, they don't want to gain weight. finding a video of an idol saying she ate a whole chicken by herself one time doesn't prove that she's forcing herself to eat to gain weight

Both Japan and Korea have an obesity rate of only 2-3% percent, making them the thinnest countries. However, I can't see how that's true, because the average Korean girl is definitely not skinny…
In Japan even normal people on the streets are usually thin, but that doesn't have to be genetics, they simply have different standards than the rest of the world.

Finding anything about J-idols diets is much more difficult than with Kpop, but I came across this article which mainly states that they eat very small portions (exercising isn't exactly popular with Japanese girls either, because it makes you "too muscular")

Food prices are substantially higher in Japan, but the traditional Japanese dietary habits, although changing, are also healthier. The Japanese are also far more physically active than Americans, but not because they do more planned physical exercise. They walk more as part of their daily lives.

I'm black so by generic meme standards I should be thick but I'm 5'5 at 95 lbs because I eat less than 1200 calories a day. I find that many Kpop fans will say "I can't do this or wear that like Korean girls can because muh bone structure and Asian girls are smaller than me" but they fail to realize that being underweight has nothing to do with genes, it's all about not eating. Even girls who are like "omg I eat so much junk food and I'm still thin ^_^"they're not like that naturally, they just don't notice that they starve all day then binge on junk food at dinner and that's their only meal that day.

I'm not bragging, I'm saying it isn't genetic. Being white, black, Hispanic or whatever won't stop anyone from having a low bmi. I think pretty much most idols starve themselves but fans ignore all the proof that they're starving and just use clips of the one time they saw their favorite idol rating at a Korean BBQ to prove that they eat all the time. Anyone time an idol is accused of not eating etc a fan always pulls up some picture of them eating and they go "seee they do eat!".

Speaking of dieting, Momo from Twice made some comments during one of their recent V-Lives:
>"The company told me I had to lose 7kg in order for me to step on the stage for our showcase"
>She started her diet right away and barely ate, while solely going to the gym every single day for seven days.
>"While sleeping, I shed tears because I was afraid whether I would be able to get up or not the next day"
>She eventually asked for three more days to reach the goal, in which she was able to accomplish in the end.
The article didn't mention it, but basically she went wrestler-cutting mode by dehydrating herself by spitting and not drinking.
Around the 1 hour mark in this V-Live:
http://www.vlive.tv/video/70401?channelCode=EDBF

Supposedly this is before Sixteen and Twice's actual debut, but for a company showcase, which is pretty fucked up. She would've been a minor and extremely disposable at that time. Momo's been thin in every pre-debut photo I've seen of her, so it's not like losing the weight would've been as easy as someone overweight or average sized.

I don't think this season will succeed or be as popular, Koreans take kind of stuff very seriously and they're still angry and hurt (rightfully so) over what the Japanese did to them during ww1.

http://www.vlive.tv/video/70401?channelCode=EDBF

>Asked to lose 7kg in just a week before a showcase while she was a trainee (she was somewhere between 16-18 y/o at this time)

>Didn't eat anything other than an ice cube and just drank water

>Was scared she wouldn't wake up if she fell asleep and cried at night
>Didn't lose the weight in the week but was given 3 extra days and managed it
>Says her lips turned white and thought she was dying
>Gained weight back after show

and that gif is probably about the skinniest she'll have ever looked, because the actual 'starvation' diets will be right before filming an mv, and she's been steadily losing weight for a couple of years. twice are probably at a healthier weight on average than the majority of other girl groups, even if some members would slip into the 'underweight' category at points. we all know profile heights are largely bullshit, why believe what they say about weights?

i'd say red velvet are pretty healthy for an idol group too, minus wendy. seulgi's definitely really thin but it still looks normal on her, wendy looks awful at times. and i wish rv fans would stop claiming there was a mass hate on wendy for being too fat when she debuted. some people said she had big thighs but more people were going crazy over her 'abs' and ribs showing, people were complimenting her on being so skinny just months into her debut.

i'm definitely more curious about blackpink though, they're the main group where i think they might look more worrying when they don't have their hips/ribs/backs covered up by clothes. also sunmi, she's on another level. idk how people could think twice are worryingly skinny when she's still taking pictures

whoa now that you say that, things make a lot more sense. i'm new to kpop but i watch a lot of korean variety/talk shows and i always found it strange how idols are always talking about starving themselves or working so hard that they almost collapse from exhaustion. idols will literally talk about being miserable and other alarming stuff but the fans just go "wow oppa/unnie works so hard!! we gotta support them!" it makes sense that they use it as a tactic to buy sympathy from fans

yeah i noticed there's a pretty large amount of idols who are actually american, so it doesn't shock me that there's quite a bit of western trainees

since so many profiles have lies to make idols taller and lighter, if any girl's said she was closer to 60kg than 50kg she'd be called fat unless she had a 'sexy' body, usually just meaning they're slightly curvier than average and tanned. kpop's really all about numbers rather than what's actually there, and because it's so warped now the numbers they make up are meaningless.

a lot of male idols claim to be 178cm tall, but they're all clearly different heights. it's just because 180cm would be too obviously untrue so they bring it down slightly, but that's the standard 'tall' measurement so they just claim to be near that when they're way off

Girls Day's Hyeri is one of the skinnier idols and she even said herself that she's envious of curvier idols.
She was measured and weighed on a show and it turned out that she weighs 52kg at a height of 166cm.

This picture is unedited, she's cleary very thin, so there's no need to be crazily underweight to look slim.
It really annoys me since when i was younger i always thought all idols don't weigh over 45kg (and i shouldn't either), but that's actually complete bullshit. They're really such a bad influence on their teen fans…

Wow. I feel like K-pop has warped the way I view weight. I would think that she was less than 110 pounds from that photo and I am surprised that she's around 115 or so in there. I think it's because I'm used to coming across profiles of female idols where they're always listed as having a weight of no more than 110.

I agree with your points. Companies should honestly stop exagerrating how thin and/or tall their idols are. As a retarded teen, I used compare my weight to theirs and would become disappointed since it was never as low as 105 pounds. No wonder South Koreans seem to have so many messed up views on body image.

Do you guys think that some kpop girls also lie about their height?

Sowon supposedly is 1.72, Yuzu 1.69 and Zico 1.82. It's quite clear that he's lying, but imo the girls still look a lot taller than the height they claim to be.
Is it too appear cuter/more innocent?

Was the goal for them to look as homeless as possible? I can't even say Mullet V is the worst one when Jimin looks greasy as hell and they did whatever this is to Suga.

Strangely enough, I feel like only RM and JHope weren't given styling that made them look worse than before, which is an interesting choice. As a group that relies more on cute boy visuals than music, you'd think they'd try the hardest on styling the boys that actually had the potential to look cute.

That aside, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this to see where it goes. Their music isn't really to my taste, but I've been following BTS out of curiosity about their huge fanbase and the amount of interest that they're gaining outside of Asia. Since they only seem to be increasing in relevance lately and their fans care more about oppas than music, I think this song will do well regardless of how good it is.

The only talented/note-worthy Japanese idol whose introduction video has left me impressed is Takeuchi Miyu. She self-composes and sings well enough (for a J-pop idol). She also seems to be interested in assimilating to the K-pop aspect of the group to actually talk about herself in Korean. It's a shame because I feel like she won't make the cut and will be buried by more established members like Sakura, who's seriously untanlented and is coasting by on her looks, and Jurina, who seems like the epitome of cringe.

>>250219
I don't know, Anon. I think she seems cool and it's clear that she has some skill (though she might have left a better impression with a different dance routine). I'll take her over the idols who I've seen introduce the following as their main talent: speaking in tongue-twisters, talking about the weather, and LITERALLY EATING CAKE.

According to Google, Joy's 5'6" (or 168 cm, I think). I guess that's a little above-average for an Asian girl but her tallness seems to be ecagerrated so much. You'd think she'd be over 5'8" from the comments you pften see about Joy's height. It could be the case of her being much taller than the height listed on her profile, as other Anons have mentioned.

Either way, that comment she received from that male idol must have made her feel unjustifiedly embarrassed. Men need to shut up with comments like that just because they're salty about being shorter and having to wear insoles to cope kek

To be fair, the trainee in that video has only been training for a little less than three years, not four to six. That routine was sloppy but I could see her performing better with a different routine.

I mean, some of the Japanese contestants have been performing as actual idols (not even trainees anymore) for six years and have little to show in terms of skill. The J-idol in the video I posted debuted seven years ago and can only introduce weather forecasting as one of her main talents. Fucking kek.

Just because they didn't sing or dance in their introduction videos, doesn't mean they can't. They have to showcase their skills later on during the show anyways, so why not try to charm the viewers by doing something unique?
And knowing Korea, they might just gave the jap girls different instructions of what to do to make them look bad in comparison to their own idols. Who knows…

That's what annoys me about the whole "Kpop is better than Jpop":
Yes, many Jpop idols are bad, but at least they and their fans don't pretend they're hot shit.
Whereas Kpop idols often also have little to offer after supposedly spending their whole youth just training for that one thing and then their fans think this means they're mega talented and nobody's allowed to suggest otherwise. Or

Underwhelming and disappointing.

134340 is the only really good song on this LY:T album. Airplane pt.2 sounds alright because at least it isn't as generic as the rest of the album (but what the fuck was that La mariachix3 line?), and the dance might actually be interesting.
I hate myself for actually liking
Anpanman. It's so shit but so catchy.
The styling, MV and dance for Fake Love were so disappointing, I get they wanted to do a darker parallel to DNA but this really wasn't the time for it. They could have gone with something as cinematic as Spring Day's MV, or an actually good captivating dance. But instead churned this mediocre shit out during the peak of their fame.

When will Taehyung cut his stupid mullet and show his eyebrows? I don't get why they waited till now to give them the worst hairstyles they've ever had. The only one whose hair is actually okay is RM.

If YG is smart he'll make Blackpink more active, considering despite only having 5 songs they are still one of the top girl groups.
Sounds like he needs the money they'd generate after MIXNINE didn't even get the chance to flop.

Why would you be hopeful when everything they've released so far was painfully mediocre and they're barely talented?

We already got an emo/scene-lite concept from BTS with Danger. It's mainly in style rather than sound but I think it still counts.

he's a korean entertainment company ceo, what do you expect? bigbang had to become the biggest act in the country before he stopped calling them ugly and untalented, and even then he still does for the members that earn him less money than gd. the company founders keep prestige if the acts they pump out make money and headlines, it doesn't matter if they lose in one year or quarter. ikon have one of the biggest songs of this year and winner had one last year. that's enough success to overlook a lot of losses

jyp's fucked over every girl group he's had after about 3 years but people still believe he's a genius because twice have a while left before they're fucked over. sm have had some of the biggest contract disputes and lee soo man was on an interpol wanted list for corruption but he's the face of a collosal entertainment company so he's successful and therefore respected and prestigious. it's korea, in the long term money >>> anything else

Sorry, ARMYfag sperging
I'm a huge stan of BTS, and christ I hate this comeback with a passion. I only like about 2 songs out of the whole album, with the rest being a complete mess, with no real aim. I tried to post my criticisms in a group chat, but of course I was shot down by other army saying that 'if I don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all' and that I should go listen to my jpop if I don't like it.
They're trying to pander to their new western audience with the EDM latino type of beat, but it just falls flat on it's face. BTS have been going downhill since 2017, and I fear that it's going to get far worse; I don't think they're even trying anymore, because the fans will buy and love their albums regardless of what they produce. They need to look back at their roots and stop creating this fake deep series, I just want light hearted 2016 BTS back, I've invested too much time, money and reputation to drop them now

they and their team try WAY too hard to appeal to western audiences w/o understanding

1) our music tastes shift very fast- the music they make is a couple years old to non-kpop fans

It's natural that a thread critiquing kpop would be full of kpop fans because how else would news or topics be brought up?

Like what sort of person would know who certain Kpop CEOs or the most no-name groups are unless they actively follow Kpop?

imo what BTS needs to understand is that they really aren't singers so all this fake crap and "I live for the music" bullshit needs to go because it's cringy af. What made their songs work was that even if the rapers too are mediocre at best, the songs were catchy and fun enough to overlook it, plus there's the dancing and the fact that they have like 2 visuals and good group dynamics.idk The last song I actually enjoyed was not today, just because it reminded me of the old BTS.

it makes sense that people posting are at least/used to be fans of some kpop, if you genuinely hate a whole genre you probably won't follow the culture so the conversation would dry up after "DAE plastic pedo bait" but it gets annoying when the 'anti' part is just talking about how a group is overrated, not about the industry and culture as a whole having shitty aspects. it only lasts a couple of days after a big comeback though so it's not a huge deal

stanning the ugliest/least popular member of a popular group is the easiest way to enjoy a popular thing but keep superiority for being different and alternative and not like the other, less special kpop fans. for a long time in like 2011 it was "i like 2ne1 and 4minute, other girl groups are boring, but hyo is cool" but now that the 'support girl groups!!!! cute concepts are STRONG and if you don't like them u hate girls!!' stuff is so common you can admit you like gfriend or twice, you just have to stan umji and jihyo

true, but English and Korean are so remote relative to each other that classroom learning isn't actually going to teach them how to use the language. From what I understand a lot of younger Koreans can read English okay but they have a hard time actually speaking it. Same with Japanese. I can't seem to find it but I remember reading a blogpost (or maybe a reddit post) from a Korean dude talking about English-language education in Korean, and he said he had a hard time understanding the concept of "words" when he started learning English at the age of 11 because of how differently English and Korean verbs are conjugated. The best teacher would be immersion and that's just not an option for everyone.

>i'm definitely more curious about blackpink though, they're the main group where i think they might look more worrying when they don't have their hips/ribs/backs covered up by clothes. also sunmi, she's on another level. idk how people could think twice are worryingly skinny when she's still taking pictures


okay so i don't know shit about kpop, but after watching this video of those blackpink girls holy damn i agree. when the girl in the orange skirt turned around i was legit shocked like that bitch is absolutely sick with something jfc. without that push up bra she's probably bones and nothing else, and the girl in the blue dress and the one in the pink skirt also looked pretty worrying. no wonder pro ana sites always suck up to kpop artists, they're the only place where that shit wouldn't be controversial but "INSPO!!".

interesting watch, although the guy goes into a bit of a strange rant about capitalism and how kpop is producing simulacrums at the end, which is a bit of a leap.

the important thing in my opinion to take away from the video is that the kpop trainees that never debut are completely screwed. the ones who do become idols have admittedly worked in bad conditions, but to them its probably worth it because they achieved their dreams. but the trainees who have lived and breathed kpop training since they were 13, sometimes even younger, and don't make it? what are they gonna do afterwards? they essentially wasted their childhood and have nothing to show for it.

also, making public weight announcements and pressuring kids into eating disorders is never justifiable, whether they are successful or not.

BTS would more than likely be disgusted if they saw/heard the way some of their fans talk about them.
Why do they feel the need to be so grossly over sexual about them? The idea of shipping real life people is gross to me too.

Maybe that's the case now because BTS is established and popular. I wouldn't be surprised if Suga wanted to off himself when BTS was barely making bank. The guy wanted to be a producer not some precious smol bean uwu~ for thirsty pre-teens to fawn over.

Out of all of the members, V and Jungkook are the only members that give me the feeling that they wanted to be idols right from the beginning. From what I know, the others were kinda forced to accept being idols and/or having their current positions in BTS. They're all probably grateful that they're not nugu and can make money now, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out if most of the members wanted to quit right now.

Suzy often came across as rather dumb but I'm seriously impressed by her now.
https://pann-choa.blogspot.com/2018/05/naver-feminism-i-acted-as-human-truth.html?m=1
Summary: Youtuber opens up about being sexually abused and Suzy signs a petition to help her and writes a really nice post.

http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.de/2018/05/men-create-death-petitions-for-suzy-and.html?m=1
Fast forward, now she's getting death threads by Korean men who can't handle their darling idol being a feminist.

Seolhyun followed her example (she's also supposedly "dumb", was in a controversy for not knowing anything about history). She even unfollowed IU, who's always pandering to her crazy fans loli fetishes.

Feminism is on the rise, but still a lot less than in the west. E.g. Naeun had a phonecase that said "Girls can do anything", Irene read a book about feminism and that was already seen as too much.
But helping that petition getting started and then not backing down after getting seriously threatened like Suzy does now is pretty amazing.

wouldn't say 'lots', hardly any have ever actually said it. min from miss a even directly clarified that none of miss a were feminists when an interviewer brought it up once. in an industry that either infantalisises or sexualises - or both - 90% of the women in it, there's going to be a lot of girls in it that don't care about feminism. a lot of women who benefit from misogyny (ie who wouldn't be popular and making money if it wasn't for those views on women) don't care about the problems other women might face

that fucking sucks, I'm sorry that happened. I don't totally understand that degree of obsession either but if I had to guess I'd say that the kpop industry is perfect for enabling people with obsessive/addictive personalities. There's constantly new info coming, new groups, new music, new concepts, new scandals, you get "rewarded" for buying shit. The idols carefully construct their personalities so that people can project themselves or their ideal men/women onto them. The fanbases are incredibly organized with fandom names, official colors, fanchants, official light sticks for concerts. It's an absolute breeding ground for obsession. I have an obsessive personality myself but I have enough self-awareness at this point (as well as restraint, and a lack of money lmao) to keep from letting kpop crowd out my other interests or take up all my time and money. Hopefully your friend comes around.

Not gonna lie, in my cringeworthy days as an obsessive and pathetic BTS fan, I used to feel bad for Jin being the useless member of the group. Used to defend him whenever anout his lack of talent came up. All my pity for him is gone after realizing that his acting is nothing special and that his family's well-off. IIRC, Jin's dad's a CEO with some connections. This guy could have had a solid career in acting had he been smarter and chosen an agency that was better off than BigHit.

A: I like Prada shoes and Air Jordans. Prada is too expensive so I can’t buy them. I feel like I can practice happily if there’s a pair of shoes that I like and that the design is good. For girls… sandals? I like girls with pretty feet so actually wearing nothing is even better (laughs). I’m attracted to girls who have clean feet and hands. I don’t quite like it when there’s too much going on with the nails.

>Q4: Following “Converse High,” what kind of song do you want to do that would reflects yourself?

A: “I like barefooted girls.” It’ll have that topic. The song title wold be “Barehand and barefoot girls”. I love barefooted girls!

there is nothing catchy about it at all, no unusual hooks and half they do is repeat „why you so bad“ and „this fakeuh loveu“ for a solid minute before ten seconds of bridges.

also, the fucking german really annoys me. ever since bst, they’ve been on sime kind of “german=intellectual, let’s quote nietzsche and hesse and hope it will label us as #deep” trip i had really hoped they had shaken with fake love. apparently not, which is just kind of cringy to witness.

It was a different donation that could've gotten them blacklisted. They + their agency made a combined donation of something like 100 million won to the families of the victims of the Sewol Ferry Disaster (basically in 2014 a ferry containing a few hundred mostly high-school aged passengers sank, resulting in over 300 deaths. The Korean coast guard did very little to save them and the captain and crew literally left hundreds of children to die). Naturally the Korean public was outraged at the government for their shitty disaster response, which led to support for the victims being seen as "unfriendly to the government". The chief of staff under the president at the time was accused of blacklisting artists/journalists/etc who supported the victims. The whole situation was pretty messy (and heartbreaking).

the (anti) kpop in the title basically just means 'I used to like BTS but now I think armys are cringey' now doesn't it

the next loona subunit apparently has a song featuring grimes, some of their fans are losing it like they introduced grimes to kpop. she's been friends with gdragon and cl for about 5/6 years, she talked about kpop in about 2012 saying the only good kpop was bigbang and 2ne1 and that the rest were manufactured and boring like snsd and shinee. that's such a nothing statement obviously but shinee fans are the most up themselves of anyone so I hope it comes back up and they get salty and call themselves the kindest fandom again

I think loona are going to be another of those groups that somehow get away with everything that any other group wouldn't. a couple of the members have already made jokes about eating disorders, but woke stan twitter already likes them so they'll be fine

Receipts? Honestly I'm not that surprised. From what I've seen, eating disorders seem to be normalized in South Korea. Idols encourage them too since fans wanna look like them and admire how unnir and oppar work (blegh) to stay skinny.

I like LOONA but to act like they're revolutionary or special as their fans often do is ludicrous. Their songs and concepts are nice but they're not different from those done by other groups.

this video is kind of outdated (he mentions contract lengths that are now deemed illegal etc.) The stuff about kpop's relation to South Korea's development of pop culture in general (like the fact that their pop music grew around the television whereas western pop music grew with the radio hence the focus on visuals, westerners having free time after WWII whereas many East Asians did not, etc.) was pretty interesting but the actual stuff about the industry is shit pretty much every non-braindead kpop fan is already well aware of.
