some sasaeng shit i know about bts, one almost caused them to get in a car accident and accused jungkook of smoking afterwards (to shift blame i guess), another sasaeng hit suga in an airport, they got mobbed in airports several times and vid related is v getting chased down by fans.
the least likely to snap at a fan are jimin and jungkook lol, both are too dependent on them. the most likely is probably v. he already shoved his own phone on a sasaeng's face who was doing the same and he doesn't seem timid towards fans, i mean, he didn't think a second before pulling some girl on a fansign's hair. i don't think he'd do anything physical but maybe also suga, when bts got mobbed in an airport some twitter stans were mad that an environment like that could

No. 350072
>>350041(kinda unrelated but not really) Current fans have absolutely no clue how shady JYP is. There were tons of rumours surrounding his artists around ten years ago that I can't speak on due to lack of credible sources. Who knows what happens in Korea that they manage to keep under wraps.
However, when Wonder Girls moved to the NYC headquarters and toured the US, his mistreatment of the girls became apparent to western fans. JYP USA staff got pretty close with western fansites and fans in general, probably in an attempt to simply promote the girls to their fans abroad but this backfired on JYP.
People were questioning whether they even had appropriate entertainment visas, especially for the underage members. The girls were sleeping in a tiny shared flat at JYP headquarters, which is standard in South Korea, but iirc there was some controversy surrounding his permit for commercial property (not an appropriate residential property for the girls and staff to live in), all because real estate/rent in NYC was too expensive for the company at the time (their artists weren't selling anything close to current day TWICE sales).
What I can 100% confirm is that WG's English teacher (who tutored them at their hq for months, during the time that Sunmi was switched out for Lim) made a public statement concerning the girls mistreatment in America, explaining that the girls were stressed and depressed, and he specifically cited that as the reason for Sunmi's break down and departure from the group when she was 17. His story lines up with how Yubin described her sudden departure (they were bunkmates) and how Sunmi later talked about her music career (that being a singer really stressed her out and can make her sad) etc.
When newsites and blogs started reporting and reposting HIS statement, the teacher sent defamation cease & desist letters from his lawyer (source: I received the letter for posting his statement on Soompi) and then he clearly quit or was fired from JYP as he was never heard of again. The girls never mentioned him thereafter. So JYP clearly threatened him with legal action for speaking out in fear that this news would make it back to South Korea. Unforunately Korean fans never seemed to have picked up on it because everything was taken down so quick.
To this day the official explanation is that "sunmi wanted to pursue her academic career" (for a degree she never even finished lol) and fans are willing to overlook any indication of mental health issues. I would pay so much money to go back in time and take screenshots of that shit.
No. 350099
>>350078JYP just doesn't have enough confidence in his GG's staying power, Wonder Girls were the undisputed #1 before he took them to America thinking they needed to go even higher.
Now with Twice JYPE fears that they might be replaced by Blackpink and Red Velvet - Twice is huge in Japan for sure but they remain unknown in international markets, which is where JYP still wants to make an impact, and Blackpink especially have a very Western sound and image that already gets them international attention. Bad Boy also got RV good press, while each Twice song charts high but doesn't have the impact that Cheer Up and TT did.
He doesn't realize that Twice will still be on top even if they took a few months off.

Imho JYP did his worst mistake ever by disbanding WG right when they had the most interesting concept I've ever seen in kpop (the band one).

>>350440Why So Lonely did very well in Korea and even won a few critics' awards; if JYP was smart he'd capitalize off that attention and the public's nostalgia and keep WG semi-active, giving them an annual comeback.

baekhyun calling out saesangs yet again and the conclusion is that companies are literally just sitting there doing fuck all(even though "anti" fans who talk shit about idols appearances or lack of stage presence are getting sued left and right) while these "high profile saesang" fans are breaking in to their homes, and committing acts that in any actual developed country, would be considered an arrestable offense.
trans: “Is it okay to sell other people’s information like this?”
"Many accounts on Twitter and other social media sites offer to sell the dorm addresses, car numbers, ID photos, and photographs of past girlfriends of idols. To one such post that stated, “I am selling information about EXO,” which included information about their addresses and favorite bars/restaurants, Baekhyun used his personal Twitter account to directly reply.
On January 5, he wrote simply, “Is it okay to sell other people’s information like this?” As Baekhyun’s reply gained attention, the original post was deleted.
On the CBS radio show “Kim Hyun Jung’s News Show,” cultural critic Kim Sung Soo said that a legal response from the agency to these kinds of information peddlers might be difficult.
“If you catch the seller, then the buyers also become criminal,” he said. “However, those buyers are considered to be ‘fans.’ If you make too strong of a legal response, it could have effects beyond what the agency wants. The promotion period for an idol is quite short. If the contract is seven years, then the agency invests for four years and reaps the rewards for three. To the agency, this isn’t worth the risk.”
The critic continued, “It was originally the agencies who would encourage the leak of information such as, ‘Certain idols will be at this concert or this broadcast company.’ One might say that the first methods by which fandoms became victim to criminals were taught by the agencies themselves.”
However, some kind of response appears necessary as the selling of personal information can lead to emotional and material damage."

Tl;Dr KPOP companies are literally sucking the dick of dangerous kpop fans and refusing to pursue them when they threaten and stalk idols, leak their personal information, steal their stuff and harass family members, on PURPOSE, because they have money and will make them a profit.

>>351036I think only Exo, the members that left Exo, Cheng Xiao, and Victoria are relevant in China right now.
China is making their own idol groups now with Rocket Girls and Nine Percent, and those groups are currently sensations over there. The government isn't going to let new gen K-pop groups take over there and farm easy Chinese money because they want to stomp on Korea entirely over the THAAD issue. It's why groups with Chinese members benefit, because they can just send the Chinese member to do solo work.
I don't think China is a major contributor to YouTube views, even if they were allowed to use YouTube freely.

>>351083You know I used to think it's because they can use her to self-insert but you don't see this level of retardation with fans of other foreign idols (like american or japanese for example). I don't know a lot about the culture there so maybe some of the perma-butthurt lisa stans itt can take a break from calling the other members ugly whores on instagram and explain to me this weird obsession they have with kpop? Is this behaviour widely accepted in SEA? Is there no general pushback like we have in the west (cultural appropriation discourse etc)? That could explain why they think everyone needs to hear about how she and whatever male idol she was standing next to blinked at the same time means they are totally getting married.
>>351109I still think that Rose sounds like an even worse Bom (just tonality-wise. Even with her bananis and awoacaidis-esque wobble voice she's still at least able to somewhat connect her phrases LMFAO) but she does seem like the chillest of the bunch.
I heard that song on the radio randomly and actually physically jerked at the sound of Jisoo's voice. YG are absolute jerks for making that girl's throat go through this, she should've never debuted as a singer and gone straight into acting wtf

No. 351585
>>351579>these stans are asocial and inexperienced as fuckoh absolutely. most of these delusional shippers are young girls living under sharia law from conservative backgrounds who have extremely distorted views on human relationships. stuff like shipping and the things that come along with it (like fanfiction etc) are used to explore their sexual desires free from rejection. the biggest issue i see with that though is that most of them only interact with like-minded individuals and this hugbox environment breeds stupidity and paraphilia and does not prepare one for real life in the slightest.
i mean i kind of get it, it feels nice to bond over things with people you're passionate about, but when your entire free time consists of imagining the relationship of two people, something isn't right.
at least keep it secret ffs. when did we all stop bullying these perverts and allowed them to break the fourth wall? i remember when i was into supernatural and was cringing at the crazy shippers (most of whom were middle-aged women btw!) talking to the actors about their ships but that was about fictional characters… this is an entirely different layer of crazy. further evidence that even their fans don't see idols as humans.

>>352393kpop idols are less “idol”ish to me. the term seems to go to anyone who isn’t just a k-hiphop artist, isn’t in a band, or doesn’t just sing OSTs - and even then some of them are considered idols. imo in jpop “idol” usually goes for people whose music really isn’t the important part of what they do, the important part is the girl/boyfriend image, photobooks, handshakes, the general idol image. in kpop it seems like a much broader term, i think some japanese female solo artists fit the idol definition in korea better than they do in japan
it means what’s counted as idol music is better because more people actually care about making a decent product, and it means “jpop vs kpop idols 2017 part 12” videos on youtube make the korean side look way better, but also can make people whose job it is to smile and make finger hearts seem like more credible artists than they are when they’re really still just there to make middle school girls feel like they have a boyfriend

It doesn't rlly matter since all press is good press in America. And besides that, I saw a rumor going around that TXT will have English speaking members so… Big Hit's intention for TXT is probably exactly this:
They'll be "BTS' little brothers" until BTS enlist…Then all eyes will focus TXT, including Western audiences who'll be brainwashed to like em.
I highly doubt that after seeing the success of BTS in America that Bighit would stay in Korea when they could attempt to make an even more successful group with actual talent and visuals this time around.

No. 353849
>>353698at first i thought that they are playing it safe by going for the "boy/girl next door" look. basic looking idols probably make the fans believe that they have a chance with them because they look plebeian. i think that was part of one direction's success, they (except zayn) looked like average boys and had flaws.
but then i realized that it doesn't explain the insane surgeries and cosmetic procedures most idols go through. maybe the members look insanely beautiful in korea? i honestly have no idea.
why do so many companies go for the uwu soft and rather feminine look when it comes to male idols? as many farmers have pointed out previously; jhope literally looks like a 50 year old aunt and taehyung is styled like a grandmother. why don't they dress them up in more masculine clothing?
No. 353854
>>353849>why don't they dress them up in more masculine clothing?most of their fans are still very young girls, so having them looking too masculine or "grown up" could be intimidating or even alienating for them.
Soft boys look manly enough that the fans can project and explore their emerging sexuality on them, but not too manly that would make them scary looking or feel too pedo in fan events.

The more control they give this guy, the more the quality of their music dies. I miss Suga's edgy hiphop beats, they were leagues ahead of the fake woke SJW crap Rat's guiding BTS to. While I do prefer his rapping to Suga's, his songwriting and production is killing any potential they may have.

>>353983After this I wonder what's next? Kpop's popularity has increased post Gangnam style but eventually it's going to hit the trough because it's already on decline, especially since of gg like SNSD, T-ara, Sistar, WW, and girls day disbanded.
Then the older Bgs will inenvitably sign up to the army so more of the more memorable kpop groups are gone, leaving the bland and basic newer kpop groups who have to break their ass to comeback in less than 4 or so months so they're remembered by kpop stans who have the attention span of a goldfish. And if kpop in general switches to a solo or band era because that's what the korean GP wants I think intl fans will quietly drop, most of them don't care for it too much.
Also does anyone think there will be another asian trend after this? Something tells me it would be more malicious than the previous.

No. 354014
>>354000>>354002https://youtu.be/vFuU4rIZZ30Cpop in particular coming into fruition is a concept I don't see happening easily. Korean can get nationalistic and xenophobic but not to the point of being to subborn to call over American, european, and Japanese producers/dancers/etc. to collab and get the group a hit. The music industry that the aforementioned producers come from are huge and they worked on many hit songs.
For ex.: Dumb dumb, Mr. Taxi, 4 walls (as seen in the link above), electric shock, growl, Gee and Ice cream cake to name a few.
Even if all Koreans produced the song they often take or copy samples from existing american songs or the western and jpop influence is present.
Most Cpop i've seen has bland ballads that are a bore to listen to.
I also know people aren't feeling Hiphop/rap here but it because of whats in the content but it is still an imporant part of both,Kpop (a rap member is almost mandatory know), and music in general.
Doing that also probably allienated a lot of foreign producers who atleast worked on a song that had at least one rap verse.
China has a habit of copying and putting no actual talent into these groups/songs. So they aren't aren't getting their very own Cpop version of Gee until they broaden their horizons or get actual talent.
But if they actually decide to wisen up, I could see Cpop and it's potention fandom being die diehard. Which I dread because China has more ignorance than even Korea.

He plays with his kids and actually tried to discipline him that one episodeeeeee” like they all do when so average ass dad like Ham Sammington or rando soccer players go on air with his kids.
The other ends in a divorce after a year of a year of exposure and lots of press coverage on their #goalzzzzz relationship and ‘cute’ baby.
This is basically what its like when a K-celeb gets pregnant or makes an oopsy baby. There is no ‘settling down’, they’ve always got to find a way to exploit the situation.

>telling that lady to give up her dreams and become a housewifenow this is exactly what i'm talking about, since this was taken out of context. it happened on a show where they bring in people with problems and their family that cant deal with them. it was about a 40-50yo lady that wanted to start a rap career at that age because she feel for Zico (:D), while leeching of her mom and not knowing how to rap. her mom wanted her to try and get a guy, but the woman said she didnt have time for guys because of her rap career. the audience and celebrity guests are then asked what should she do; pursue her career or get married and they have to cast a vote. and in this context he said it's better to get married and so did everyone else

>>354210>If you think that's bad, you'll love the episode of American Hustle Life where Jimin says he wants to hit a preteen American boy because the kid didn't address him using the customs of Korean age hierarchy.this was what made me realize what a vile sack of shit that gremlin is. ofc moronic ratmys thought it was totes woke and savage bc the kid happened to be white and i’ve never seen a kpop fan talk about it negatively outside of these threads. it was the 14yos own fault for trying to help and bc he asked if jimin and jungkook were related he was totally an evil racist bigot who deserved to be met with threats of violence from a grown ass man. to this day it still makes my blood boil just thinking about it.
and since then he’s been a gift that keeps on giving by being racist and xenophobic left right and center and topping it all off by celebrating one of the most devastating war crimes in modern time.

>>354175I remember looking into C-pop when I was kid, since I was into Kpop stars like BoA and Jpop stars like Ayu/Koda Kumi, I ended up coming across Jolin Tsai and I really wanted to like her but chinese media content was/is so hard to find on western platforms. There were a few other c-pop acts who I tried to get into, but again there was nowhere online where I could really engage with the entertainment.
Nowadays, especially with the Huawei technology controversy, western culture and chinese culture have become so oppositional towards each other, and there are so many political aspects at play, that there's no way in hell China would have success exporting their entertainment, since the entire world is wary of Chinese government involvement in literally everything, and no one's happy about the fact that they are world leaders in technological advancements. Also human rights and labour laws in China is a top concern within international relations, if westerners were to become supporters of Chinese celebrities, there would be constant controversy and backlash related to the rights of performers, which would overshadow any financial benefits of cultural exports for China.
Kpop is well-received by westerners because South Korea has a long history of being influenced by the American occupation. Koreans loved Bob Dylan-types and classic rock to the point that the government had music imports banned. When the ban was lifted, America was into 90s Hip Hop, so you had Seo Taiji & Boys that jumped on that gimmick and that was the birth of kpop. Since then, western producers have actually contributed significantly to the industry, which works for everyone, since the music sells both at home and abroad. China will never have that type of relationship and cultural overlap with America.

>>354132Lol he pisses me off too. I guess he's not a bad director, but what's the point of him reviewing music videos if he mostly just says what we already see? "ooh this light is really well done" like yeah, we know. I talked about him on a previous thread because he was sperging on Twitter about some selca controversy. I used to follow him when I got into kpop and watched some reactions and he was constantly doing lives every day multiple times to watch movies with his followers and stuff like that. It was so cringy and pathetic.
He also dyed his hair pink once and it looked terrible. A lot of other reactors told him how "beautiful" he was kek kpop fans are so "positive" and sugary all the time, it just reads as fake to me.
Another one I hate is BRISxLIFE, he's so fucking obnoxious and when he started doing reactions he capitalized on it by including "BLACK GUY watches" on titles for views. I guess kpop fans feel validated if a black guy says his oppa raps well.
I hate how JREKML got so much clout by simply watching kpop videos. Dude gets free tickets, travels and meets idols. Like fuck off, youtubers get so much money for doing literally nothing. I hope reactions are banned in the future from Youtube.

>>354312yg's never liked seungri, that's nothing new. he was originally cut from the bigbang lineup before being added again, he has to work on solo stuff himself (making music himself as well as using his own connections to producers, not yg setting him up with one) and when he did get his solo mini album in 2013 he had to overlap promotions with gd (who was obviously more popular) and had to promote jennie on a track, as did gd - gd specifically had that part recorded with sky ferreira and was told to promote a version with jennie instead, i don't know whether seungri chose her or was told to promote her too.
you could argue that seungri causes trouble for yg, he does have a big mouth and stuff, but some of the other favourites are scandalous too. he's fairly profitable, he's multilingual and seems happy enough to be sent somewhere and do his own thing, but he's always kind of been the extra one in bigbang.

The one vocal coach I saw (blonde woman) talked about how hard it is for her students to hit high notes and as a result their tone and enunciation suffers. Most of her critique was about her own students, nothing much about the singing in RBB. I learned quite a bit tbh, but nothing about the vocals in RBB which was what I watched it for. I guess she didn't want to provoke angry fans by saying Seulgi was straining too much so talked about her students as a roundabout?

Everyone knows idols basically arent supposed to acknowledge when something happens on stage or anything because it breaks their ~uWu im a product not a human being with emotions and reactions~ conditioning, I:e when taeyeon got snatched the hell off the stage mid performance and the other girls just kept flailing and dancing with the exception of Sunny. These idols are literally trained to be inhuman. And when they actually do try to help one another in an incident, the retarded shippers go crazy with their fanfic shit as if helping someone up on stage(which is something..you know..a normal person would do even to a stranger) is some unbreakable bond or marriage tier thing.

An intriguing new global idol group project is under way with the title, 'Z-Pop Dream', launched by Zenith Media Contents.
Recently, the 'Z-Pop Dream' project unveiled the members of its two project idol groups Z-Girls and Z-Boys. Each group is made up of 7 members, all 7 being from different countries!
Z-Girls is made up of Bell, Carlyn, Joanne, Priyanka, Queen, and Vanya, with one final, 7th member yet to be revealed.
Similarly, Z-Boys is made up of Blink, Josh, Mavin, Perry, Roy, and Sid, with a final, mystery member remaining.
Reportedly, the aim of the 'Z-Pop Dream' project is to create a concert brand which unites all of Asia, and act as a platform to foster the growth of world stars. It's likely that project groups Z-Girls and Z-Boys will be a temporary group where members can participate in a series of 'Z-Pop Dream Live' concerts over varying periods.
The first ever 'Z-Pop Dream Live in Seoul' is set to be held this February 23 at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium, featuring the above groups Z-Girls and Z-Boys.

>>356289This is obviously bait and if you want to know why there's cultural differences and tension you can Google it. That question is just gonna lead to everyone screaming and not hearing the other's point.
Bts have never been "woke" or understanding of other cultures. I had to stop being friends with someone after they blew off them dressing like Nazi's because "oppar is still nice and meant no harm". I hope that this is the year that BTS gets trashed by American/Western meadia because if there's one thing we love to do over here that isn't praising celebrities it's bashing them. Once people start being brave enough to call them out armies will start to go with the louder voice and cry about how they didn't know and stan Bighit's new text message group whatever the hell they are called. None of their fans care about them and bts will have to learn that the hard way.

>>356543the video is still up anon! you prolly just tried to view it on the lc browser
i just watched it and it seems to me they're just trying to live up to the fans expectations of singing live as well as being overworked
lmao it's clearly backfiring esp since they have unnecessarily complex choreo (again, the fan's expectations) and normal kpop groups would just sing with a back track or lip sync. I personally see nothing wrong with that since most bg and gg always dance to their songs even when it's not needed.
But BTS fans always say shit that's not even true and are always making theories based around these dudes personal life so i wouldnt be shocked if the tranny comment actually happened just bc Bighit wanted to pander to armys even more.

Can someone please tell me what's wrong with his face? He looks really different but I can't pinpoint why and it's bugging me. His face looks fatter but there's soemthing else too…maybe it's just the make up?

>>356819Hyuna was so cute as a teenager, but somehow she didn't look 14-15 at all.
Back in the day it was harder to tell teens apart from their older group members. For example, if you were to watch sixteen nowadays, Somi and Natty are clearly teens, there's no question. Maybe it's the higher quality videos and pictures, since you can clearly notice who's wearing heavy makeup and their facial features in HD. Even social media pics were blurry.
No. 356853
>>356848I don't know who these girls are (except for the one from sixteen) so here's a rundown for anons wondering the same:
>LEE CHAERYEONG 이채령, birthday June 5th 2001, participated in kpop star, participated in SIXTEEN, trainee for 5 years, sister is IZ*ONE CHAEYEON, dancer, vocal
>SHIN RYUJIN 신류진, birthday April 17 2000, appeared on JTBC MIX NINE (came 1st for girls), appeared in BTS Love Yourself Highlight Reel, rapper, dancer, trainee for 4 years
>CHOI JISU 최지수, birthday July 21 2000, trainee for 2+ years, goes to international school, main vocal
>HWANG YEJI 황예지, birthday May 26th 2000, trainee for 3+ years, main dancer / appeared on SBS ‘the fan’
>SHIN YUNA 신유나, birthday December 9th 2003, trainee for 3 years, appeared in BTS Love Yourself Highlight Reel, visual, maknae, dancerThose are all Korean names right? Interesting that JYP isn't going for his global/asia appeal for the first time in a long time. I heard him hyping up his upcoming Japanese group, so maybe he's going to focus on splitting up ethnic groups into their own markets now? We'll have to see.
No. 356867
>>356848I gotta admit this yeji girl does seem to have above average performance skills for a kpop girl group. BoA seemed genuinely impressed.
If they can manage to bring this quality of performance to their every day stages then they could potentially outshine BP and RV. But JYP is definitely known for squandering their artists potential one way or another, so we'll see.
No. 356886
>>356875wtf I am literally so out of the loop, I've known about ladies code for years but literally never heard about the car crash deaths omfg that's the most awful thing imaginable, other than Jonghyun.
I can't get over how SM made Shinee continue with their group activities this year. Ultimately, it should be up to the members whether they should disband after a member's death. But even if they choose to continue, they should have a fucking year to mourn like is mourning not a respected thing in South Korea? I was literally mad when I saw the Shinee comeback teaser only a few months after his passing and I've never really been a fan of them, just listened to them from time to time. Had his death not been announced by international news outlets I probably would never of heard about it and thought nothing of shinee doing comebacks.
Obviously it's the same principle for ladies code.
No. 356936
>>356886I think SM - and South Korea in general - just sees mental illness as a weakness.
Jonghyun mentioned in his suicide note that almost all therapists he went to blamed him for not being strong enough to cope, so I guess that says a lot about the state of mental health treatment in Korea

>>357357Bang Yongguk has a huge 'viva la revolucion' tattoo and a Che Guevara obsession, there's a lot more into him being very left wing than there is to Suga making a joke about capitalism, if that's all he's done. Plenty of idols make a joke about capitalism but it doesn't necessarily mean they think that badly of it overall. Idols being sold as products just probably makes them more cynical about parts of capitalism, some way more than others. TVXQ's Changmin makes jokes about capitalism all the time and posts about reading books on economic theory, Lay shills hardcore for China's gov obviously, Hangeng took this photo of Jaejoong, YMMV on how ironic or serious you think he was being. Outside of idols but friend of lots of them, Hong Seok-Cheon is aligned with left wing parties in a more broad 'anti-capitalist' or social democratic type of way, which is probably the most extreme an idol gets too. Unless they're going wild on image boards and stuff in their free time then honestly I doubt many idols have super extreme views in any way, people like that aren't going to shut up about their views and idols are generally supposed to. I don't even think fans take it as seriously as it seems like from jokes, like their dumb "______ is a lesbian because ______" jokes
and k-pop fans might be way more SJWish than they used to be, and those are definitely the loudest fans, but there's still plenty who'd be genuinely upset if their favourite idol was gay and who still think they're wierdo Asians. Current k-pop fans aren't that far divorced from the mid-00s weeaboos, k-pop has shitty fans of all types

All around the world it is common sense that you be respectful toward people older than you. Jimin wasn't expecting honorif you dumbass
2. It was a scripted reality show with takes and retakes you think producers and directors didn't gice them ideas how to act and what to say lol that was the whole point of that scene to show some smart ass american kid riling up older korean kids with sticks up their ass
Now don't tell me this whole fake ass from like 6 years ago is your frame of reference for his personality and proof of xenophobia
I would tell you to go to school, but you have to get some common sense first
