Is anybody else also annoyed when kpoppers cover a regular song and everybody acts like they're god's gift? Sure, if you've been a singer for years already and spent training even longer everybody is able to become decent enough to hit the notes, but that doesn't change the fact that all their voices are so bland and mediocre.

still reminds me of the first time that one member of BTS sang a song from charlie puth and armies spammed the fuck out of his social media and the comments under his music video talking about him and how he was so much better or how they should collaborate and shit like that. i would legitimately be embarrassed if my fans harassed my "idol" to collaborate with me rather than the artist genuinely wanting to. tbh most of what BTS and kpop groups have gotten are due to their annoying ass fans spamming the fuck out of them. even their awards are due to whatever fan group can scream the loudest about how their precious bois deserve it.

>>344850
if anyone else genuinely believes those kids aren't being abused they are stupid. it's a clear case of hierarchy and abuse that got them to shut up. tbh i wouldn't be surprised if abuse happens behind every kpop group and they were just willing to report it. there's always some story about a kpop idols hard journey to becoming one with hints of what sounds like abuse, or a form of it, here and there but their fans just say how they "worked hard" or were "strong." stupid.

The SM year-end stage was such a mess. The groups didn't even share a stage together. Stylists just threw shirts over Red Velvet's stage outfits for their performance with Hyoyeon and reduced NCT to Exo's backup dancers. This felt like a way to push NCT into everyone's faces again somehow.

Also, Sunmi seems to be taking her performance cues directly from stan Twitter and trying to incorporate as much fanservice as possible - Twitter will not shut up about the fact that Sunmi ran a hand across Seulgi's chest. Credit to her for keeping up the act after Gashina though, nobody knew who she was until last year and now she's lesbian queen or something.

Full Moon and 24 Hours were also sensual and sultry but there was no queerbaiting of any kind. Ever since she decided to be more active on Twitter and reply to memes and such she's turned up the fanservice way too much. Her songs do very well in Korea now so I don't know why she feels the need to pander to stan Twitter, the annoying ones hyping her up won't even buy her albums

A person who translates kpop songs said "I didn't translate the rap BC it's gibberish" and they're right. It was bad,unneeded and wasn't even related to the song.

I don't think BTS will necessary decline so much as plateau. They have a rabid fandom to keep them relevant but they'll be where EXO is now. Twice on the other hand might not keep their relevance since they're all getting older and pedo uncles will move onto Iz*one instead, which has actual underage members for them to sexualise. Unless they change up their image and go "girl crush" real soon, it's curtains for them. Red Velvet and Blackpink have now caught up to them (BP's album is the highest selling GG album on Hanteo now) and they're not as untouchable as they were in late 2016-early 2017.

i don’t think bts will really decline much until there’s another group to take over for them. exo didn’t really decline in popularity that much but they got overshadowed by bts, i imagine it’ll be the same thing again. i’ve seen people argue that they’ll get owned once bigbang comes back, but at this rate bts are going to start heading to the army before seungri even enlists

twice passing their peak could be good for them, though. as long as a decent chunk of their fanbase stays loyal then they can change their music style and stuff, if they’re never going to have another cheer up then they don’t need to try.

i predict a couple of members leaving groups under negative circumstances. since bts have all re-signed, if one of the sadboy members wants to leave then they’ll either have to pay off the contract or go through a lawsuit. i see an nct member quietly leaving after being absent for a bit, maybe a red velvet member leaving. sm likes to try to divert attention from big scandals by debuting new groups or giving comebacks and their new gg should be ready to debut in 2019. re: sexist, racist etc scandals, wendy will make another insensitive comment, one of the bts sweet smol baby boys (ie v or suga) will say something incredibly shitty but fans will try to hide it, and a male idol with a bad reputation implies he likes a female idol with a good reputation, prompting panic and fanwars on all sides

The gap is getting smaller. Red Flavor might be RV's signature song but Rookie, Dumb Dumb and Power Up did very well on the charts and they now have the "nation's representative" tag after their North Korea performance. Irene's face is everywhere in Korea now and they have a large female following which will probably keep them afloat in the future. As for Blackpink, DDDD was a HUGE hit, numbers wise bigger than most of Twice's songs this year, and Jennie doing well also kept Blackpink's name in the spotlight by association. Plus the general public might get tired of the cute sound soon - 5 years ago sexy concepts were all the rage and it might come back full circle, who knows?

I'm just saying that Twice might be on their last legs now because they didn't experiment with their sound at all once they had a fanbase in place.


>Twice should start weaseling their way into variety/acting


This probably a big factor in Twice not having a longtime career; they don't have one member on the level of Irene or Jennie's fame in Korea. Tzuyu, Nayeon and Sana are decently well-known but JYP didn't capitalize off of that and give them more solo promotions since he got burned badly by the Miss A situation.

blackjacks vs sones drama was always so good, they managed to fight over everything. 2010-2013 was the peak, ironically it was less exciting when they had comebacks at the same time in 2014 since they both did nearly equally well and both groups started to crumble soon after.
>plastic surgery
snsd nearly all having work done vs bom's increasingly stiff face
>vocal talent
multiple non-vocal members vs not having a taeyeon level vocalist
>dancing
boring, typical girl group dancing vs minzy seizures holding the group together
>fashion
revealing, costumey outfits vs jeremy scott vomit

the last one was the best, since the i got a boy teaser came out and snsd were wearing entirely jeremy scott and js knockoffs. blackjacks were so smug over the fact that one of sones big digs at 2ne1 over the years was their ugly, mismatched street clothing.

To be fair though, we all know that sm's groups always inherit fans from their seniors, so exo-l def have done a lot of messy shit, especially around their debut. With the influx of ex-1D fans army have been in shambles though. Funny how the exo vs bts situation almost reversed completely.

that story was really fucked up. the girl they harassed starved herself for three months and lost half her bodyweight and then had to deal with their crazed harassment.
This is a social media post of hers from pann-choa

>I'm receiving so many hate comments nowadays… ㅠ..ㅠ For real.. Does it makes sense that people are saying that I did plastic surgery? You think that all the swelling would go down in only 3 months? And if you're saying that I lost weight because I ate medication, then what are you making of the people who gain weight by eating medication? Also, to the people who purposely write these things anonymously… Until when am I going to endure all of this? Let's speak frankly, I have been starving day by day for 3 months, everyone knows it already no? It was during my period of growth so I even gave up on growing taller. Seriously, I really starved to death. At that time, I really felt that dying would be better so I went up to my rooftop a few times… I only drank 1-2 cups of milk every day and would go to the hospital every day because of anemia.. Ah~ I even got injection of dextrose. Seriously, to the people who have not put in as much effort as me, please don't talk without thinking. I'm still having a hard time because of anemia! Even now, I only eat 1 meal a day. Do you know why? Because I'm scared of the yoyo effect… So I'm still putting in so much effort now, so seeing how people just talk blindly about me like that… is just ridiculous. The world wants lookism so that's why it's so hard.. And what's the issue again this time?… seriously, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to kill myself? The eyes of the people who looked at the old me.. Do you know how I felt? They looked at me like a pig, not a human.. They thought that I should lose some weight, that I was delusioned into thinking that I thought of myself as being skinny already…….. It was seriously so hard.. I cried too.. I hated it. But now that I lost weight, you know what they say? That I lied….. That I'm so good at lying….. They say things like that… Seriously, how can they know how I feel if they are not me?…. This is seriously so hard…. I'm a human too… Really…

BTS just got lucky. Armies aren't subtle about not caring about kpop as a whole, so it always confuses me when people think they'll move from BTS onto another Korean group. They renounce every other kpop act while not realizing that their favorite group is exactly the same.

The Armies shouldn't be as cocky and arrogant as they are now. Let's see what they stan…a vocalist that astral projects his high notes into a different realm, another one that sounds like a dying grandpa,Jungle book's basic vocals, 3 sub par rappers and a cringy narcissist…y I k e s. Bts is the most fake deep,basic boy group alive and armies think that bts are on another level and they're really not. They're were just like every generic kpop group out there with their hip hop concept#1628363 and they still are honestly. If it wasn't for 1D and the whole B.a.p lawsuit thing Bts would be flops.

Also why is Bangtan so arrogant now too? Its starting to reflect in their music and how they present themselves. Like look at the lyrics for Mic drop..and adding your award speech as a track on your album is corny. After they won that dumb BBMA award Bts and Armies have become increasingly worse. I wish shitmies would understand that bts won that award bc armies are the most annoying people on twitter. There's a reason why they haven't won any awards for their music…As long as Armies are around and Bts doesn't bother to integrate and learn even basic English they'll never be taken seriously. All these artists and journalist are only using bts for clout which is extremely obvious.

Like when they were touring the US back when noone in asia cared about them and someone threatened to shoot rapmonster and they had to cancel the concert? Pre-2017 was their entertainment peak and I suspect the moment wheb a lot of recovering stans in this thread used to care about them. The way they were whoring themselves out on youtube and twitter was, as we've discussed before, unheard of and really interesting. Now that there's so much money involved they've become extremely aware and boring. I cannot believe that kids are actually joining the fandom via promotion cycles like Fake Love or Idol.

I don’t buy that it’s exclusively YG fucking her over because even if he hated 2NE1, CL could still generate more money, Dara gets to do TV work so it only makes sense for CL to get something as the other profitable one. idk, it just seems like she can’t be helping herself stay relevant and popular if for half of 2018 she basically stopped posting online. anyone got a wild 2019 prediction for her? she reappears in February, married and pregnant? drastic plastic surgery?

No it’s true, a lot of armys used to be 1D fans. Idk about 5sos fans because 5sos are still together, but since 1D had fallen apart the 1D fans got tired of waiting around so they jumped onto the new bandwagon group, which was bts. The type of fans 1D attracted and now bts attract are girls who care more about the band members than the music. If 1D and bts didn’t have that yaoi shipping appeal, they wouldn’t have as many dedicated fans. Tbh I feel like even if 1D was still active they would lose a lot of their fans to bts because the bts members are younger and try to maintain their “perfect innocent boyfriend” image, meanwhile the 1D boys were starting to get crusty and two of them have children now.

Amber honestly just isn't talented in singing or songwriting. All her songs have really meh production and she doesn't have the vocal talent to elevate the mediocrity into something better, a good vocalist would know how to alter their voice to make it flow better with the beat but she's not got that kind of ability. Plus she's not pretty so she can't get away with her lack of talent.

She did well in variety shows and MC gigs, she should've stuck to that to earn money because her own music is nowhere near good enough and SM was right to reject it at first (they're only now letting her release it after she threw tantrums on Instagram).

Luna having a lot of talent and no fans to buy her songs also means visuals are everything; most FX album sales were thanks to Sulli, Krystal and Victoria fans.

I think they're around the same age? V, Jimin and Jungkook are obviously younger but on average their ages aren't too far apart. It's not the age that's an issue anyway, it's the overall image. If Zayn hadn't left they likely would have all announced a hiatus around 2017 instead of being in limbo in 2015, solidifying their fanbase for a little longer, and I doubt BTS would be able to take over international fans from 1D if the army influx had happened later. BTS was very much the product of perfect timing.

Dahyun looks dead behind the eyes. That's an uncanny valley stare if I've ever seen one.

Surprisingly Yeri was good here. Makes me think that maybe she's just not comfortable with RV's concepts and would like to do cutesy stuff like Twice. She should have just waited to debut with the new SMGG; she trained with the younger girls more than she did with the current RV members, and looking at photos of the current SM Rookies she'd be the prettiest of the bunch (some of them are just unfortunate looking, honestly).

I agree. Yeri doesn't suit their Velvet concept.

I feel bad for her because she was obviously thrown in there last-minute to compensate for RV's nonexistent variety skills; an ex-SM trainee who trained alongside her said she herself was stressed out about debuting.
She'd be much better off mentally if she was in the upcoming group with her friends doing more girly concepts.

I think a lot of people don't realize just how old bts actually are.
Jungkook - the uwu sm0l baby - is 21, V and Jimin are 23, Ratmon and Jhope are 24, Suga is 25 and Jin is already 26 (and still thinks "ironically" saying he's the most handsome dude in the world is okay).
Meanwhile Harry Styles is also just 24, but he's not acting like a retarded 10-year-old and nobody has been coddling him for years now. Same for other young american/euro celebs like Justin Bieber. They're just as young as kpop idols, they get massive hate, yet nobody thinks of this of as much of a tragedy like ratmys do.
Also, seeing bts on non-korean tv exposed their crustiness as well lol

I think that massive amounts of yellow fever is what made/makes them this popular. Tinfoil, but with the rise of popularity of social justice (in around 2015), young impressionable teens started being "woke" enough to no longer like white boys, but not yet "woke" enough to like somebody with darker skin and that's why they go after the tallest asian country, who at least acts as if they're super modern and who also happens to love to slather their faces with white powder.
Even japanese and chinese youtubers or instagramers are leaching off of that "Oppa" shit, by styling themselves korean inspired. Ratmys wouldn't care if the korean dude they get to date looks like golum, they wouldn't even care where exactly he's from as long as he's "azian". You can't go anywhere on the internet without being confronted with something korean, it's just the trend right now.

even fans of the same group get called antis for daring to voice criticism/opinions that aren’t blind praise.

the person who uploaded the lazy jennie video that went viral was a blink and even had a jennie pfp, and the video itself wasn’t malicious at all but rather seemed concerned, both for her and the other members since she’s basically a deadweight at this point. of course they got cursed out and called an anti by rabid blinks who decided any fan who didn’t turn a blind eye to her sloppiness might as well be satan. there were mature blinks who agreed and were respectful about it but they were drowned out by the insane drooling ones (who of course attacked them too). of course those same losers were celebrating like crazy when the video got taken down.

Top Kek

Has anyone noticed that a lot of anas (especially on Tumblr) are also big kpop (mainly bts) fans? I always sort of felt kpop/anorexia goes hand in hand? Like there's these young impressionable fans seeing their unnies and oppars looking skelly and talking about starving themselves and extreme dieting so they (the fans) do it too and end up with eating disorders. Kpop is so toxic.

I was just thinking that the other day. Bts doesn't give a flying fuck about their international fans which is top Kek bc bts owes all their success to i-fans now. Korean fans didn't even care about bts for the longest time until they started getting big in the West and was giving s.k some attention. There was this letter Jimin wrote to his Korean fans talking about how much he missed them and how badly he can't wait to come back to South korea. No mention or barely any mention of i-fans though and ofc armies were to blind to see the truth. I can't find it but if I do I'll post it.

jimin released a new song on soundcloud. i gave it a listen and thought it was somewhat ok actually, but jimin's vocals are really not my cup of tea. and the lyrics are the typical emo drivel. i dont interact with bts fans anymore at all really, so i havent seen what people are saying, but im sure they are blindly praising it as always.

EXO have enough of a fanbase to keep buying 500k+ albums, they're just not a "trend" anymore. That's just the natural order of things - what's worrying for SM is that they don't have a replacement trendy boy group lined up like they used to have (TVXQ -> SuJu -> Shinee -> EXO). That spot is currently occupied by BTS and NCT is doing shameful numbers compared to their seniors. EXO were outselling Dome concerts 2 years into debut while NCT songs drop out of charts within an hour or so

I figured, I remember they were really popular when I was in high school so it's interesting looking back at them now. Lay was my favorite so when he wasn't showing up in MVs I started to loose interest in the group.

For an acoustic song, there sure is a lot of autotune. And I'll continuously say this, but at this point the Lizard group is rich. WHY is their company not investing in the best of the best vocal coaches.

I don't think the new group will flop at all. It's like the 1D and 5sos situation, the EXO and NCT one. Girls especially younger girls want to stan and look up to people (or hope to date and fuck someone) who's closer to the age. The younger portion of armys will move on to the new bg, and the older ones will remain old and bitter bc they're oppars never got good treatment.

Especially since Bighead's new formula is "depressed boys who may be gay"

Who knows the new group just might be miles ahead of BTS and they might even all speak English for promoting in the US since there is only 5 members this time around.

I think Lay won't formally terminate his contract so he'll technically still be an EXO member, but at this point that's all in name only. SM is giving him a lot of benefits right now so I don't think he'll leave, but he probably won't be in an EXO comeback anytime soon

I think a Chinese court ruled that the order wasn't enforceable as long as they never set foot in Korea? IIRC they only owe SM a share of their Korean earnings and SM contracts anyway give artists a bigger share of foreign income (70-30 internationally).

Not much SM can do in China, they have no power there. It's likely they're not getting anything beyond a token 5% if even that.

No. 346275

I think Jessica wasn't kicked out so much as had to leave as a consequence? Apparently they were trying to scare her into stopping her Blanc & Eclare work by making an empty threat of kicking her out, which they weren't really going to follow through on, but she panicked so much that she wrote that Weibo post saying that she'd been kicked out. So SM booted her out anyway for tattling.

I remember hearing that him leaving during their comeback was due to a heart condition that developed during his training period and only got worse the longer he stayed.

last i heard was that she’d confirmed with them that she was leaving snsd soon and was under the impression she could do b&e until then but was then kicked out way earlier than she was meant to be leaving. i kind of buy it since if she wanted sympathy from sones then saying that she was planning on leaving the group soon anyway would make her seem like less of a victim

The concert tour they were about to go on was supposedly like a goodbye tour for Jessica. The plan was that after the tour, they'd all split up and move onto solo activities, and Red Velvet was supposed to debut around early 2015 then in a changing of the guard (dunno how reliable this is but someone on Allkpop claimed that SM executives were asking music shows to book performance slots for their new girl group slated to debut in early 2015)
Then Kris left and Baekyeon was revealed, so Red Velvet debuted earlier than expected as a distraction.

in 2014-15, every Red Velvet comeback was around the time of some shit going on with SM:

1) August 2014, Happiness - Kris left, Baekhyun and Taeyeon were revealed, Sulli went on "hiatus"

2) October 2014, Be Natural - Jessica and Luhan left

3) March 2015, Ice Cream Cake - Tao was in limbo and had all but left EXO

4) September 2015, Dumb Dumb - Sulli officially announced she was leaving f(x)

kris also left in the middle of a comeback while luhan waited until they weren’t promoting anymore. i remember a lot of exo stans bashing the former because he screwed the other members over and put them in a very messy situation while they respected the latter for not “leaving the group in the ditch” the way kris did.

tao got flack for being a huge hypocrite who threw a clingy tween girl tantrum on social media when kris left only to do the exact same thing shortly after. iirc tao also left around the time exo were supposed to have a comeback making him look like an even bigger hypocrite.

I actually believe that EXO's situation had not a lot to do with RV's obviously rushed debut. It was more f(x)'s, the fact that a lot of their earlier stuff sounded straight like from the Electric Shock album speaks for this and the trainees in the Happiness MV were kind of hinting at an NCT-like concept. I guess when SM realized SNSD and f(x) were over they weren't up for experiments anymore, added Yeri and called it a day.

There was a theory that they'd branch off into subunits called Blue Velvet and Yellow Velvet (topkek). The Red/Velvet concept dichotomy was also kind of thrown together last minute to explain the group name when it was glaringly obvious that SM had no fucking clue what to do with them and didn't want Irene and Seulgi to leave.

>>346291
You should have seen the comments under their debut announcement tweets and videos, 50% of them were f(x) fans whining about lack of proper treatment and the other 50% were SNSD and EXO fans demanding an explanation from SM instead of debuting a new group.

Probably a combination of both. I honestly don't think Yeri at the time was ready to debut simply because she had no talent.

True. Yeri gets shit on all the time for her dancing and RV were called out regularly for being unsynchronized, but I think it's more of most of the members not being able to follow the choreography and being very very overworked. They had like 6 comebacks this year and are SM's sole female earners (sans solo artists but I doubt SM are actually making any profit with those except for Taeyeon). As for her being a bitch - I don't know, I believe she's like Jennie in the sense that she does enjoy fame to a certain extent and the glamour it can bring with it but is disillusioned about idol life. I wish kpop companies would stop debuting literal children, it's always stumping them in one way or another.

Jennie’s undeniably cute at the very least but she pretty much looks SEA. If she weren’t actually Korean, she’d get shit on more for her looks and wouldn’t get as much special treatment as she does. No way would SK’s xenophobic ass accept an SEA-passing chick as the face of a group.

I feel like Irene wants to quit being an idol more than Joy does and would be the first to go. She’s in her late twenties and is in a group that performs with childish concepts.

Probably late but just saw this and what a mess. The dancing’s pretty sloppy, vocals are weak and maybe a few of the members in this can pull of sexy/sleek concepts. Tzuyu looks kinda scary giving off that vacant doe-eyed scare for this. Joy continues to be pushed as the sexy member but still doesn’t seem confident with her new role.

Conveniently, their precious oppars start coming out talking about "mah depression," which won over the tumblr crowd. While I don't work in marketing, I do have some educational background in business and from a marketing standpoint, if your target audience would be move to buy/invest their time into your product then this would be a scummy yet effective strategy.

Well said. Yeri’s strongest areas as an entertainer is visuals and variety, but Irene blows her and the rest of RV out of the water visually and Joy’s better at variety.

Unrelated but do any of you guys remember Yeri talking about how uncomfortable she was by the closeup of her cleavage in the Ice Cream Cake music video? Keep in mind that she was sixteen or so at the time and, unsurprisingly, this was all brushed off later. Makes me disturbed about the shit that she might have to deal with behind the scenes.

Depends on who you ask but nobody seems to be willing to actually tell what they know.

It goes back quite a ways and became very obvious, and idk what happened in like..2012 but that seemed to be when people at soshified started dropping hints that something was up.

Maybe Soy should come out and say what she knows since she literally posted that jessica was a bitch not long before she got "kicked" and then tried to backtrack when people realized it was Jessica she was talking about.

Tinfoil anon here. I honestly hope I'm wrong, because that another example of just how fucked up shit is over there, which is worrisome because their media is gaining influence over on my side of the pond. But on the topic of how businesses only care about their bottom line, US's business sector also has a pretty bad history of doing some fucked up shit for profit as well, like in the case of selling children's pajamas in "poorer" countries for less even though they had been found to cause cancer because they had been laced with fire retardant. So yeah, entertainment companies dgaf about anyone or anything except their public image and how much money they rake in (for any kpop stan who thinks otherwise)

i know the kpop industry is scummy but i don’t think bighit would go as far as to create fake self harm marks on jungkook.

No, retard. It's because of legal issues and the rocky relationship between China and South Korea i.e. the Hallyu ban.

they’ll never be a mainstream top boygroup, but i don’t think that’s the aim. they’re definitely going for strong, dedicated fandom > big public appeal which can still get a lot of money. as long as they push one or two members for variety work and stuff then they’ll be fine. the general public never fully warmed to super junior the way the did for shinee and tvxq for example, but they’ve survived just off of a batshit insane fandom rather than a massive one. i think sm’s next push for a proper mainstream nations group will be their new girl group

Jaehyun is by far one of the most popular members (rivaled only by maybe Taeyong and Mark) and has a ton of akgaes too. I’d say those three are the most likely to compete with Winwin. Yukhei doesn’t seem as popular in Korea as he is internationally but I could be wrong.

The top looks so unfortunate and ridiculous. I'd be so damn embarassed if I were her. I get that she's the center but they really didn't have to make her wear that thing just to make her stand out… the others wore normal dark stage outfits suitable for the song. That spandex top looks cheap btw. It's like they forgot to bring Irene's stage dress and just took whatever available in the dressing room.

what’s her appeal again? she looks extremely average by kpop standards, yeri and joy are far prettier than her, seulgi has more charisma and wendy has the best voice + used to be prettier before sm fucked her up with surgery.

the worst for me is still when fans trying to prove uwu queer idols just end up playing into negative stereotypes like lesbians being predatory and out to harass every woman they see. sana’s been mentioned before as being bad for this, she’s one of the idols who’ll grab and stroke at and pretend to kiss another member who looks anywhere from mildly annoyed to genuinely uncomfortable. they also love using hani as an example of a lesbian idol because she was obsessed with one of the underage oh my girl members and kept talking about how much she wanted to date her. when she was on weekly idol she’d gawk at underage girls all the time, she’s a creep. and then she was dating xia for a while but that didn’t change anything

YG’s never cared that much about dating scandals. They barely bother to confirm them and just say it’s the idol’s own personal life and has nothing to do with the company. Jennie might be popular but she isn’t popular because people want to date her, BP aren’t going to be in trouble over this. At most it just means definitely solo for Rosé and probably Jisoo and Lisa while fans cool down before the next group comeback. The only thing holding back BlackPink from being more consistent is that YG has some weird blood pact with Teddy so they can’t just pump out a mini album with 6 different producers on it

i don't see how this is detrimental to jennie's career? correct me if i'm wrong but blackpink has a lot of western/international fans, and i-fans tend to be really supportive of idols dating and love to criticize the shitty no-dating rule (ex: hyuna and edawn). they'd probably be able to fight off any hate she gets; look at how many people were willing to defend her terrible performing skills. not saying there won't be any backlash but i can't imagine it ruining her career

No. 347287

Dif anon, but I don’t think it’s detrimental either. Blackpink is hugely successful and it seems that the hyuna and e dawn thing kinda made more kpop fans less rabid about dating. I know i-stans on twitter are all being positive about the situation and I haven’t seen more than one k-stan negative reaction. Also, YG isn’t stupid, he knows blackpink is the money maker and he’s not going to ruin them over this. I’m willing to bet they just deny and ignore it and it’ll fade away.

2NE1 were a money maker to YG until they weren't just saying. YG absolutely does not give one fuck about Blackpink unless he needs their YouTube statistics to trot out. He didn't even post Jennie's first music show win on Instagram where he posted Mino's second place finish. He's going to use this as an excuse to delay their comeback for sure.

>They had to know about it bc they were obvi contacted prior to the leak with a chance to stop it, he didn’t gaf lol

How many of those i-fans will buy BP albums though? Their Western fandom is not at the level of BTS and most of their international fans are SEA, who generally are all 13 mentally.

i don't want to be like "NO gay ship can ever be real ALL idols are STRAIGHT and you all are delulu" because it's close minded and i mean sure, there might be lgb idols but i really, really doubt that most of the popular ships like chanbaek, kaisoo, seulrene, jenlisa, michaeng, jikook, vkook that shippers believe in till death are real. if two members of the same group were dating and broke up, it would completely fuck the group up. i think if that rumor is actually true, it's probably a duo that most people would be surprised with

Half of the blink fanbase were also blackjacks before, so they know. Being pretty isn't going to stop YG from tanking Blackpink if he wishes, because time and time again he's shown that he does not give one fuck about women under his company.

SM confirmed the dating news right away because they do not give a fuck, while YGE has yet to put out an official statement beyond "we're looking into this", which means they're scrambling to deal with YG sperging out.

He's either in the cult or has views so similar to it that he may as well be.

Bogum is that cult's golden boy. As a rule, cults don't allow their members to socialize with regular sane people anyway, let alone their prized members who they've groomed from birth. One of the defining features of cults is that they cut you off from anyone not in the cult, but people believe Bogum is allowed to just be best friends with V anyway? V's either already in the cult or about to be.

SM used to stage/leak relationships amongst their own idols but I never really got why, just knew people had been saying it like it was fact. I don’t know if it was an any attention is good attention thing or what because they used to do it with SNSD members when they were new and make sure certain pairings got attention, like Junsu and Taeyeon, or Leeteuk and Taeyeon, or Baekhyun and Taeyeon. Other couples that had more evidence to make it seem likely, like Jaejoong and Jessica, the jaw couple, were kept more quiet so it did seem like there was some kind of planning behind it.

kai's bandmate is literally running around, publicly saying that he loves men and shamelessly posting pics with his sugar daddy. even though the baekyeon situation was sus, i don't think big kpop companies make their artists have beards or go to great measures to hide their sexuality. there are probably a lot of kpop idols who are closeted and choose to date the other sex because of homophobia, but talking about them is pointless.

i don't think any of his dating scandals are intentional. the one he had with krystal was the "worst" one, so because he already has had one dating scandal it isn't as shocking the second time around. black pink don't appeal to possessive male fans (like twice or izone), a dating scandal won't make them lose an impactful amount of fans. i don't think kai nor jennie had much to lose, or gain, from this. if one of the non-korean twice members were dating one of the most popular bts members the situation would most likely have impacted both of the groups very negatively. kpop fangirls love to live through the female idols their oppas interact with, until they actually start dating them for real.

No one stands out. Variety is boring as shit and no idol actually seems to have a personality thats not scripted to hell. I feel sorry for anyone who became a fan of kpop after like..2014ish. AOA was the last "new" group I was really interested in and they're RIP. I liked Hello Venus when they redebuted and released some good dance pop but they died out too. There was a lot of different stuff and experimentation with different sounds. Lots of colorful outfits, videos and stage presence. Now if you like girl groups and want anything other than saccharine sweet pedo bait bullshit, your only option is like..Black Pink, Mamamoo, Dreamcatcher and Exid. No thanks. Red Velvet is kinda ok but they arent idol like at all in comparison to girl groups before them.

Don't know how old he is but he shits on teen fangirls blindly defending male idols while being a staunch defender of female idols he himself finds attractive - like just admit you're defending their lack of talent because you want to fuck them and go. There definitely are times when fangirl defense gets way out of control, but he just preaches way too much.

Kpopalypse is even worse because he has this deep-seated hatred for R&B and automatically rates R&B songs lower. He hates good singers for some reason because their vocals "don't allow producers to make good melodies" or something. He's also extremely triggered over Reddit not liking him, and screenshots "hate" comments from years ago to include in his blogs as proof that he's better than the plebs on Reddit.

Then in a Blackpink/YG thread he calls Blackpink's music dated and unoriginal and writes loads about why YG is horrible. He whined and bitched about Twice not getting #1 on all charts, but still tells everyone else to not take Kpop that seriously.

It's a xenophobic soft power thing. Other Korean groups make some effort to learn English when they try to break the West. There's dudes in Monsta X who seem to be halfway to fluent by now despite making next to no headway in actually breaking America.

BTS don't bother because Big Hit are hung up on pushing this idea that it's America who wants BTS, not the other way around. They desperately want to make people believe that BTS only bother with the West because people keep begging them to come here, even though BTS spent millions rebranding themselves to appeal more to an American audience.

>xenophobic soft power thing

True.

> it's America who wants BTS, not the other way around.


Half true. BTS and Korea want the American recognition (don't believe what they and their stans say about this) but western outlets have long realized how much money can be made off of them. They don't even need to put in effort - just ask them "What's your favorite place to visit in America?", film it and put it on YouTube and you're done. Every generation needs its boygroup and this one's is BTS.

No. 347937

It's important to distinguish that America wants BTS's fans (or more accurately, the insane click revenue and mindless purchasing decisions they provide), not BTS themselves.

I'm familiar with Cookie, I have several friends who used to be big JJCC fans and told me about her. It was a small fandom so she was able to get a lot of influence just because she ran a fanpage for them.

It got to the point a member of JJCC's agency posted on their official Facebook about her, but she still carried on being crazy.

According to her she managed to track one of the members, Mak, via GPS on his phone (I don't see how this is possible without her having access to her phone so I personally think she was just being delusional) and became angry when she looked at the tracker and it appeared to be in the middle of nowhere. She posted a lot of weird updates on her fanpage threatening him about it and asking where the fuck he was. This, combined with Mak supposedly being rude to her (she never really gave concrete details) one time, made her furious with him and she started using her fanpage and social media accounts to harass him. Eventually the JJCC account just blocked her, which led to her going crazy over that and Mak messaging her telling her to cool her shit.

I’ve seen comments like that in a few different places, actually. YG is the most hated guy in kpop rn despite not being much shadier than any of the other big CEOs, so places like r/kpop take any reason to insist he keeps BlackPink chained to a wall. I swear only a year ago people praised the way YG handled GD’s dating rumours by just saying “we don’t know, it’s his private business, we’re not going to confirm an idol’s personal life” but doing the same over Jennie means he’s actually jealous and in love with her and deleting all of their demos as we speak.

In general getting caught in a dating scandal in your first 3 years is the only time they’ll really cause a problem. All the dating bans, either official or unofficial (even the official ones are more like “don’t get caught”, not “don’t date”) last for about 3 years for a reason.

Nah, it all depends on popularity and with whom they get caught "dating".
For example that situation with Uee and Gangnam.
Imagine living in a country that's so hypocritically uptight about things like one-night-stands that you have to pretend to date your fuckbuddy, only to "break up" after 3 months LOL.

Lisa's been a model for YG's clothing line since predebut, was pushed a lot as a trainee back when she was known as Lalice, she's pushed about as much as a non-Korean will be. Jisoo's also done modelling and MC work, Rose got a feature on a GD song when she was like 15.

i'm not sure when the gif is from, i guess probably a month or two ago since it seems to be from during jennie's solo promos?

people pointed out suho instantly made a huge deal out of jennie's presence by leaping around next to her, which i guess you could see two ways: a) he was trying to draw attention away from the fact she'd moved to stand next to kai or b) he was trying to draw attention TO her proximity by taking the focus off the hosts.

i think it's probably option a though.

I thought BIGBANG were going to survive any controversy by having a lot of popularity and some good songs (plenty are trash, but stuff like Loser and Fxxk It were good imo) but TOP’s scandal might be what pushed them over the edge. It was weed, it involved sex, it involved mental health and it’s not his first time having rumours of suicide attempts, TOP was already a controversial person, it happened while he was enlisted… overall I just don’t know if they’ll bounce back the way they could with other things. Taeyang’s the wholesome married Christian holding their reputation in Korea together, but international fans arguably like him the least for his braids and stuff

No. 348080

Why would SM or YG want to stage a Kai/Jennie relationship though? I get it for stuff like Jonghyun's relationship with Shin Sekyung back in the day because Shinee were still rookies and it got them some name recognition, but Kai and Jennie are already in successful groups, and they're two of the best known members. The only way it really makes sense is if SM or YG wanted to take the heat off another couple, but you would think they'd both choose to sacrifice less popular members, like leak a Xiumin/Lisa couple or something.

No. 348083

if yg staged the relationship they would get another idol from yg or some random guy who isn't a member of one of the most popular groups imo. i don't think he can just hit sm up and say "hey, jennie is my sugar baby and people are getting sus. pass one of the exo boys so we can cover it up xxx" and they automatically accept it even though kai gains nothing from the situation

No. 348086

>>348080
imo if it’s staged then it’s just the way IU staged ‘accidentally’ posting that picture of her in bed. people said it’s suspicious/dumb how obvious a couple of their hints have been in a short period of time, right? could just be that they are together and one/both of them thinks being known as an idol who openly dates will be good for them. IU wanted to break out of her uwu pure smol girl image and into one of an uwu pure smol girl who is also sexually active with older men. maybe Jennie thinks her image is bordering too much on being the girlfriend idol and she wants to stop herself from being marketed that way before it really starts? it’s that if they’re just kind of dumb and didn’t think they’d be caught

No. 348087

The only thing that makes me sus about Kai and Jennie is none of the fans, even the hardcore stalker ones, had any idea either. Usually the most hardcore Korean stans know ahead of any leak or confirmation that their faves are dating, and are keeping it under wraps. Fans knew about Baekhyun and Taeyeon and Kai and Krystal ahead of leaks, for example.

Apparently Kai and Jennie have only been dating a few months so that could explain it, but seeing as they both seemed to be doing all that they could to get caught, from cringey lovestagram shit to meeting in the middle of a public park, I have to wonder.

well a lot of times those relationships caused a lot of controversy, especially big bang

No. 348111

>>348105
relationships for big groups are still pretty rare when you consider that there’s far more attention on them, meaning less room to hide. i don’t know much about super junior so i can’t say for them, but bigbang’s only member to consistently have dating scandals was gdragon, and that was mostly just with kiko mizuhara. taeyang’s had one, and they ended up getting married. seungri had the pictures of him leaked, but other than that it’s mostly just known that he dates a lot, not who he dates. and top aside from the trainee girl just had shin min ah, and that was only known because he reportedly tried to kill himself after he broke up with her.

exo’s only confirmed relationships have been kai (two times) and baekhyun, right? do had rumours with a girls day member for ages, but that’s still not a lot of scandals for a big group. tvxq only really had rumours, which was changmin and victoria, and i think some people actually believed go ara and yunho. i’m only talking about the two members, but they’re 15 years into debut and haven’t had a single confirmed public relationship since debut. it was one of the ex members who got caught on tape saying every time he got a girlfriend, obsessive fans would threaten and harass her and they’d break up soon anyway.

I think they are done for as a group tbh. Seungri still hasn't enlisted in the army, so when they will finally be able to gather again as complete group TOP will be in the middle of his thirties. They will be too old and have been off the market for too long to still be relevant.

Hopefully the same will happen to BTS. Considering that the age gap between the youngest and the oldest in the group is like 4 or 5 years, they will probably enlist on different times as well and they will fade into irrelevancy because the group won't be together for a long time.

Most of their YouTube views come from the SEA and not the west so I wouldn't take that as any metric of success. English skills aren't a guarantee of success either - if they were, American citizens like Jay Park and Ailee wouldn't be forced to come to Korea to make a music career.

Korea's lookism (stanning Black pink because they're pretty and wear pricey clothes) won't work in America when Rose sounds like a dying cat, Lisa dances like a spastic, Jennie can't be fucked to do anything and Jisoo is just there.

Authenticity is a big factor for American audiences to like artists beyond using them as a one-off gimmick; BTS is only covered by the media because their schtick is that they're "not like those manufactured K-pop groups" because they write their own songs. BP doesn't have that going for them.

I'm not sure any Korean girl group can break the US. Plenty have tried, and it fails every time.

With both girl groups and boy bands the primary audience is teenage girls, but the reason they like girl groups is different to the reason they like boy bands. Most teen fans like boy bands because they find the guys cute, but girl groups because they want to be the girls. And the largest audiences in the US are white teenage girls and black and hispanic teenage girls, so they're going to find it hard to relate to a group of Korean women.

Surgery can only help so much. Even if she rearranges her whole face she's never going to have the facial features of Krystal and Sulli, which is the kind of beauty Koreans like. Personally I think Luna was pretty cute naturally, stylists just didn't know how to work with her darker skin and gave her the worst makeup which made her look worse.

Her solo back then was also EDM, which is a hard sell for a solo artist. Korean general public lost interest in her and she's doing musicals now to cover the bills. I doubt this new song will do all that well either.

Krystal's dramas did pretty well but she doesn't do enough of them to stay in the public eye. She just shows up to a photoshoot/CF now and then and spends that cash travelling around the world. Lowkey wish I had her life

Tbh I wouldn't consider Krystal the type of beauty Koreans like. She has a non-perfect and non-PS nose, a long face, minimal makeup, brooding expression (all by Korean standards of course, she's pretty to me) - when I think of a typical "visual" face I picture Irene.
It surprises me that SM didn't force her under the knife tbh, she's very natural looking. With SM you always have to fear they're gonna turn the next idol into a gangnam unnie/oppa.

When a guy wants to fuck a dyke, its because he has it in his mind that she is "turnable" and his dick has the power to make her straight again.
They are not interested in women like amber who have no symbiance of femme in their body at all. This is what Amber dressed like before kpop. When she debuted SM had her dress a little bit more feminine and if she had continued with that style, a la idols like jiyoon from 4minute, guys probably would actually like her. But that wasnt ambers style and she obviously reverted to her full on butch attire after like..2 comebacks. And she has continued that style ever since.

As others have pointed out though, she always had a masculine style style and has continued post idol life. I think people are being very obtuse by claiming she doesnt have any say so in her style and manner. Its a different situation then, lets say Hyoyeon. For whatever reason, she was always styled weirdly and when she got older, she said SM gave her more freedom and she made herself more attractive and more in line with what she liked. Chanmi from AOA said that her stylist was told by staff to give her tighter fitting clothes intentionally because she had gained weight. And she was publicly shamed on national television everytime she ate. Amber never tried to be particularly feminine and you can see in pics from both before and after, she looks the exact same. SM isnt telling her to dress this way in her selfies she takes in America when hanging out with her friends.

No. 348770

>>348767
But what Im not understanding is how worst clothing = completely altering an idols appearance to that of the opposite gender. Luna wasnt dressed like a boy.

>>348755
it never mattered what she wore during her off time it's the image change that sm chose for her that fucked her over and that's why she doesn't have any fans, korean or otherwise, that buy her music

we both agree that she dressed more femininely and yet still tomboyish when fx first came out and the company couldn't stick with that image why??

honestly if sm stuck with her first image then maybe she would have some actual fans to make her actual money

>>348759
that's the thing right there
her clothes are way more form fitting and aren't baggy as shit like they were when she was in fx

she's also isn't wearing a binder too
back when she promoted with fx the company made her (and sulli) wear them even though she's naturally flatchested
one obvious thing I noticed with amber from looking at her instagram is that she never personally chooses to wear binders

also I never stated that amber wasn't a tomboy when she obviously is
she just wasn't as butch

But it doesnt make sense to compare the two if you arent equating masculine styling with bad styling as a punishment. The other anon implied that they made her adopt a full on fake boi identity because she made them mad lol. So why reply to me if you dont agree with that? Literally how would your post have been related to what the conversation was about otherwise?
>Some idols have to wear shitty clothing as punishment
Id never deny that as its been established with other idols, which i mentioned. But as far as I know, they dont make you adopt the style and manner of another gender for your entire career as punishment and Amber certainly hasnt implied that.

No. 348812

>>348803
I'd consider myself a fan of Loona, and the situation is nothing more than fans complaining to the company bc of controlled content. The company wont let the members communicate with the fans freely, even having them do scripted vlives and controlling everything they post.

The company is so broke from the predebut project, they do a concert every comeback to repay their debts. And the concert seating is too expensive for a rookie group. Honestly, the fandom is infested with a bunch of entitled ratmys and fans who are used to companies eating them out. The lack of communication is causing a boycott from Korean fans. But, I do agree that the concert every comeback idea is completely outrageous since the company could make money through other means.

I wouldn't be shocked if Loona and their company flopped this year for this discoure that has actually been going on for years.

(Another thing fan's fail to realize is that Blockberry Creative, Loona's company, is controlled by Polaris entertainment who's only group was Ladies' Code)

They invested tons into their predebut, what with flying members to different countries for filming solos, and then their actual "debut" is low-budget and lackluster. Instead of touring small halls and gradually making the money back, they're overcharging people for concert tickets in big arenas (5k+ seats). Their ticket price is the same as BTS when they're not in the position to be asking for so much.

Blackpink still sold a lot during their debut and I.O.I had to disband shortly after so their wasn't as much competition. Loona debuted but are already overshadowed by Izone and G-idle. plus Fromis_9 might pass loona in sales if they haven't already.
>>348812
I think loona needs to communicate with fans more tbh. blockberry is trying to get fans that are willing to spend more money for Loona than they would for most of the other rookie girl groups that debuted this year but they hardly do basic things like vlives. most people that buy tons of albums and frequently go to concerts are doing it for the idol they like more than anything else.

blockberry need to pull a bighit and do a survey on how many of their fans are depressed so they know how much their music should make it seem like they all have a list of disorders. passing fanservice off as lesbian representation clearly worked in their favour, given how many twitter stans genuinely believe that was all done for their benefit and not to try to get older dudes to pay up.

Don't. They don't care about these idols, they care about the recognition, fame and attention they get by doing this fansite shit. These aren't little girls either - most of them are grown women who either came from money or do dubious shit to afford stalking these idols all over the world. Companies actively cultivate this fucked up relationship between idols and fansites because it's essentially free marketing and the fansign lotteries are a quick cash grab.

The story about Sulli's fansite sulli94/jinnabit really illustrates the insanity of this whole concept.
Basically she was a woman way older than Sulli who had been stalking/"befriending" her since very early on. She had been bullying other potential fansites of Sulli to the point where essentially she was the only Sulli fansite out there. Knew Sulli personally, talked to her via texts etc. Was also talking shit about the other members of f(x) regularly.
When Sulli left she suddenly decided Sulli was a piece of shit, went on twitter "exposing" her, basically showing off all the information she had gained by getting close to her. Guess she realized what a fucking waste of time this was and got mad lol.

Now there's a lot that can be said about Sulli herself, but the point I'm trying to make is that Jinnabit's story is perfect to show what these mentally ill people are really after: They cling onto often very young people, try to buy their attention/love via expensive gifts and support to gain some sort of ownership over them. Not every fansite might be on the level of crazy Jinnabit was, but there also might be some way worse than her.

No. 349652

She moved on to Twice apparently. Thats what these fansites do once they shut down or stop liking an idol. They just move onto someone else because they have a constant need to stalk someone.

To these people, a smile or even just eye contact is a literal validation in their minds
also they typically try to get photos which they'll then sell in restricted "paywall" areas of their sites, and in some cases its been proven they will go places where the idol has gone, take photos and take belongings that they can use against them.

The mindset literally has them practically blackmailing these idols they're obsessed with if they ever do anything to piss them off. Think incels who foam at the mouth for instagram and asmr girls when they wont pay attention to them after they donate to their patreons. Its the same thing except its treated as an actual career and is being actively encouraged by the idols companies. Idols have spoken out about it. There have been incidents of cameras being found in rooms, items including underwear or anything that might have an idols dna on it stolen for who knows what purpose, idols almost being run off the road. Most recently the plane incident Im sure you heard about etc. The purpose is this people really truly believing theyre entitled to these idols every day life. Every move they make. I remember reading about SNSD in their early days. These fansites fucking tracked down family members and hounded them at their places of business. Taeyeons dad tried playing it off like "teehee i know they are just fans and they bring me business because they need eye glasses" and there were uWu adorable~ articles written about it for magazines. But in reality, they arent forming relationships with the family members because they want to show support. They're literally trying to encroach on them. Get information. Pictures of the family and the idol when they were babies. All sorts of shit. They feel if they find something bad, by knowing it and keeping it a secret, the idol is in forever gratitude for them to not release it. Its absolutely insane.
