>>11972I really liked it, too!
Somehow the vibe reminds me a little of older Shinee songs (but I think I just make that connection with any disco-ish dance songs in K-Pop).
Gotta say though, I liked Look better.
The solo songs are alright, I am not sure why Jaebum has so many highnotes again when he always messes them up live…
Did anyone pre-order the album?
What edition/photocards did you get?
I got Mark's edition but hoped for Jinyoung (rip)
Also I got a REALLY awkward photocard of Youngjae, it's so weird that it's funny again.
I'm trying to find someone to trade with but it seems like everyone hold onto their Jinyoung Editions and Photocards really well.
Wish me luck, anons

>>11975Did you listen to Boss? It's the latest NCT U comeback. There's some nice vocals from Doyoung and Jungwoo.
I also really liked Yestoday, it's more rap but Doyoung sings the chorus really nicely. Jaehyun sings the chorus in Whiplash too.
For an actual ballad with both you should listen to "Without You".

>>11982There's so little of him since he kind of disappeared after Seventh Sense for a while. I think he suits solo stuff more. I liked New Heroes but it was a bit lacking for me, nice vocals but too short and I didn't like the drop.
I was impressed he had such a nice voice, you can really tell on Baby Don't Stop. I think SM was a bit unsure what to do with him at the start since he was a rapper on Seventh Sense, then disappeared, now a singer but he doesn't seem to be a part of any particular unit. It's still in progress.
In any case he gets a lot more than other NCT members get, so he's a bit more lucky. Also he cute as well, just watch him on this Disney show they did as ROOKIES <3

I was lowkey hoping for Jackson, although I got his lyrics card so it's okay. As for the photocards I got Mark, Bambam and Youngjae, he also looks awkward in mine lol.

Youngjae especially struggles it seems. He's my bias but if the dance is too hard for the weakest dancer it brings the whole group down.

Also, I honestly think they didn't live to the hype. Their actual releases as a group were really boring and super crowded. I didn't like them much, but maybe it's not for me since I only liked the girl crush tracks and not the poppy ones. And they seem to go more poppy than "badass".

>>12044>You know, I don't get why so much love for Johnny? He's really popular with fans, but he's hardly at the front or singing. Was he very popular during ROOKIE era?from what i understand johnny was very popular from rookie days and fans essentially pressured sm into letting him debut + he had been training for maaaany years (since he was like 13? 14 maybe? idk) so people felt it was long overdue.
he reaches out a lot to fans through twitter (especially i-fans since he often tweets in a language they understand) responding to random comments and people become familiar with him through night night, so i guess he seems approachable and close to fans/easy to talk to which is definitely in his favor since a huge part of the whole idol thing is ~selling dreams~ and being ~bf/gf material~.
ngl i fall for that shit hook line and sinker when it comes to him bc i love the guy and he just keeps growing on me. he’s also kind of the dad of the group and since nctzens are so protective of the members and /especially/ the dreamies that probably helps boost his popularity too.
not to mention him being such a fucking loser and cringelord so openly ♡
so basically instead of being popular because he gets a lot of lines/screentime, people demand more lines/screentime for him because he’s popular. hah. so kind of the opposite of taeyong, i guess. (who i love, no shade intended.)
No. 12050
>>12049Same anon you replied to. That makes sense, yeah no shade either I was just confused at to why he had so many fans. I like watching reactions online since I have no friends that like kpop, and I was confused as to why the love even on the first video I saw with him. I just got into NCT a year ago so I was not very familiar with things prior to that.
He really is endearingly cringe, same with Mark. He acts all swag but then I saw that video of him rapping on a Disney show lol so cute <3
I wish Taeyong had more interaction with fans, maybe he does with kfans I'm not sure. I'm so intrigued by him and how cutely awkward he his on interviews. It clashes a lot with his stage persona and past history, even though I don't think it was such a big deal what he did. He was suuuper young and who knows what family situation he had to do that. I saw that clip of him crying and I don't see him faking it. So it's sad to me he gets so much shade, he must be really shy and nice in private. At least I haven't seen clips of him being a bitch or anything.
I can see him being a bit annoying at the most lol on LA interviews the idiot wont stop talking nonsense on the background. He's so excited to talk in English, so cute <3
I watched some interviews and several of them do try to speak more English, so I have higher hopes for them on Jimmy.

SM does fuck up faces, so I'm hoping he has enough self control not to allow them. But I really doubt it.
Korea's ps is a shit show, someone shared Lee soo-hyuk recent ps on the Critical thread and I wanted to cry. He was literally so good looking and I can't understand his decision to fuck up all of his best features.
Since this thread basically became about hot guys, is there any Korean actor that you guys like?

>>12064Doyoung’s eyes look massive too but I think it has more to do with the rest of his facial features being so small and doll-like and his face being quite slim. His eyes are also very round and doe-like. I definitely see the rabbit resemblance.
>>12076Idk apart from the jaw I think he looks quite similar (at least as far as predebut-postdebut idol comparisons go). He’s definitely had work done, I’m not delusional, but I could still tell that’s Doyoung from space.

Right now he's really cute but his face is a bit odd on the jaw. Like, it doesn't look BAD, but you can tell it's not natural. He looks sort of feline and I kind of like it.

Taeil is another that had a weird nose job, it's kind of small, but I guess it elevated him from regular dude to more "flower boy" to fit the idol image. Pre debut he was really average.
Jaehyun jaw shave is kind of bad too sometimes, the chin is so soft and loose I don't like it, but it does fit korean beauty standards, so it may be my taste only.

>>12083I don't think Jisung's nose is the worst thing ever, it's still a normal size, but the issue with most nose jobs is that the nostrils end up so much in view that it gives a very dainty feel to their faces. I really can't understand why anyone would do ps on a kid SO young. I hope for his sake that it turns out alright.

Is there any video of Kun singing live or dancing or something that showcases his talent? I've only seen videos of him talking to the Dreamies and such. He's a sweetheart but I want to see how he is on stage. Also, no black on black fancam, poor guy is mostly standing on the background. I really hate that performance, I hope they don't do it on USA.

>>12096Cherry bomb is definitely repetitive, but they showcase every member of 127 and it's a really cool dance. Black on black looks cool with Korean camera work, but the dances look awkward on my opinion. Also, since they add all the members you hardly get to see most of them, they just act as background to the rappers and Ten's solo. At most you notice Jisung, Taeyong, Lucas, Mark, Jeno, Yuta and Ten. Don't get me wrong it's very well coordinated but not all members dance as well as the actual dancers, so you can tell by watching one or the other that it looks off.
I just don't get why it had to be done, it's better to see separate units performing.
The only thing I enjoyed was Taeyong's part and beautiful sparkly choker. He looked divine on the performances. The teasers were hot as fuck too.

>>12080i actually find doyoung super pretty with his jaw shave lol. jaw shaves in general are a terrible idea because of the health risks but as far as aesthetics go doyoung is beautiful. there’s something so doll-like and ethereal about him.
like another anon mentioned he looks kind of feline and other anons in previous threads compared him to a barbie doll which i also think is quite accurate. yes it can be uncanny when he looks like a literal mannequin but overall he just looks super pretty and interesting to me.

Also I love Yongie but that part was kind of in bad taste. He’s already getting a lot of shit for hogging screentime and lines and then some shitfuck has the brilliant idea to have him literally stand on top of the others. It effectively boosts his retarded akgaes who view other members as props, pisses off fans of the other members by enforcing the idea that he’s the most important and fuels the antis who screech about how overhyped and ~favored~ he is. I get it’s muh dork aesthetic but it’s just such a stupid thing of the choreographers to do. Now both his antis and akgaes have fuel and fans of other members are reaching peak-Taeyong, congratulations.

>>12104Oh yes, that part with Jaemin was terrible. I'm glad they are not performing the song anymore.
Yeah, I hate people getting angry at Tae just because he gets so much screentime, I'm sure it's not his decision. But I still don't really hate it, he's clearly the leader even if there's no official NCT leader. The other members even state it. And he deserves it, the dude has a lot of charisma on stage. I do think the pyramid was cool but not fair to all, and stans really hate a member not getting recognition.
He did own that shit lol proud as fuck. I can't hate on him. A lot of people say he's a narcissist but I don't see it. He just really knows how to carry himself on stage, and SM clearly knows it. Hs the best one to grab new fans attention.

I took my sister to a BTS concert a bit ago since she'd been begging to go to one for years and her mom wouldn't take her. Blogpost incoming. Here are some judgements on the members from someone who doesn't really know/care about kpop beyond occasionally skimming the threads here and some stuff my sister has said.
>J-Hope: I thought he had a good attitude and was energetic. His solo performance was good too, but I don't remember it that well because I spent most of it trying to dodge the girl next to me who was have a ton of fun dancing and definitely would have elbowed me in the face. He is kind of weird looking but I don't have any complaints about him, I think that he did a good job and wasn't annoying.
>Jungkook: He didn't really do anything wrong, but he just not as good at singing as I thought he would be and was frequently off-tune. It means he actually sang live though right? (kek) I thought he put more effort into his english speech at the end than any of the other members did, and tried saying something more than "love you guys UWU" He's my sister's favorite but came off as pretty dull and uninteresting imo, though he seemed genuine
>Jimin: He was good at dancing and I was surprised at how decent his vocals sounded live since I heard a lot of bad things about his live singing in the other thread and from my sister. ….Up until the time when he didn't have his mic up to his mouth but his voice was still playing. I get that all kpop singers probably sing over a track, but I don't think he sang a single word live all night. He did seem embarrassed after this, but the screw up was one of my favorite parts of the concert! I loved being able to see a moment like that live. He also very noticeably would want to put his arm around/stand near/whatever the person who was currently singing their part (and therefore being filmed) for that sweet, sweet bonus screentime. I also thought his legs were looking kinda spoopy. Other than that, I don't think he's as weird looking irl as he is in his pictures.
>RM: Everyone says J-Hope looks super botched, but I think RM is getting there too. He looks like he has had a lot of work done, especially if you've seen some of his older photos. That aside, he was nice enough and I think he performed well. He put together a little speech about how they tried to make every show special or whatever, and I'm sure their fans liked it but it seemed kind of forced. I noticed that he didn't translate for the other members, but they had an actual translator.
>V: Even though I thought Suga is supposed to be the grumpy member, V seemed to have a really bad attitude! He didn't smile at all until the encore and I remember thinking that if I was his fan, I would have been kind of disappointed with how he acted. His singing was also quite bad, since he just kind of shouted. At one point during a slow song, he tried to do an ad lib part and it sounded pretty awful. At that point, I looked over at my sister and even she looked over at me and kind of cringed. His English was nearly unintelligible (does he have a lisp or is his accent just super strong?) but other than kind of coming off as a douche he actually does look great irl. His stage presence was not strong though, so he was kind of easy to forget about.
>Jin: I always thought he was the useless member from what I'd read, but he seemed to be by far the best singer in the group. I don't know anything about technique so by this I just mean he sounded the best to me. This surprised me because in the recorded tracks, he stands out the least in my opinion. I was actually very impressed by his solo performance. He sounded great in the couple of ad lib parts he did too. If he was lipsyncing as well, at least he had the good sense to not get caught! I don't think he was though. He didn't seem to have a strong personality, and didn't stand out much. I always thought he was on the unpopular side, so I was surprised to see that he was a crowd favorite
>Suga: Didn't really give off a rude or grumpy vibe at all, and in fact was likable. His solo performance was one of my favorites. I don't really know how to judge the merit of a kpop rapper, but I think he was pretty good. He didn't bother trying to speak english for the most part, but judging by the others' english "efforts" it was probably a good call. They had a translator for what he said in korean, and it was better than just hearing "love you armys XDDD" for the 17th time so I preferred that.
There was a ton of hard to watch fanservice. After Jimin accidentally exposed his own lipsyncing crimes, they all starting pulling up his shirt to…comfort him? Distract the audience? And then they did it to other members. Honestly very uncomfortable, but my sister loved it. Gross.
They actually danced a lot less than I expected them to, but I was happy that they played one of their songs that I like called "Run". Most of their music isn't my cup of tea though, and they had live arrangements that in general sounded much worse than the original CD tracks. It's like they wanted even their songs that weren't shitty EDM to sound more like shitty EDM.
The coolest part to me was the fan's lightsticks. They were controlled by an app, so they could to a ton of crazy stuff. They lit up in different sections making stripes, did a sparkly rainbow, waves and whatnot. At one point a member said something about how he loved the color purple, and the lightsticks all turned purple. It was neat. I'm glad I was in a perfect spot to watch the lightsticks.
Overall it was pretty fun, and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would be able to. It was awesome that I was seated right behind a mom and got to sit down the whole time and still see what was going on. I looked behind me at one point, and a whole row of people were all sitting down behind us. I'm sure it was the parents and chaperones row.
If my sister wants to go again next year or whenever they come back (and I'm sure she will), I'll probably take her.
Did any of you go to the recent BTS concerts and if so what did you think? Who is your favorite member? I think I liked Suga the best and V the least.

TY is going full trashy this comeback with the hair and the bling, and I can't decide if I hate it or love it lol we'll see how the actual MV is.
>it’s funny how they whine and piss about us supposedly ruining ~the only place they can criticize kpop without rabid fangurls~ when they’re the ones who keep talking about us while we don’t bring our nctzenship over to the critical threadYeah, the whole point of having a separate thread is for people to be able to fangirl withouth "bothering" the rest of the anons. We're pretty self aware so I don't get why so much hate. Someone even said we were saying lewd stuff, like lol only one person got pretty personal about Doyoung's chest on the last thread. It's usually only "this guy is so hot/pretty". Oh no, we like boys, sue me.
I also don't understand why so much hate about NCT's concept. It's not THAT hard guys, I learned all the members names in like half an hour and by seeing a couple of MVs of them. Why do people exaggerate so much? Reminds me of that Weekly Idol episode, I wanted to slap Doni so much…
Also I'm a 100% sure that fans on Critical are older fans of kpop that creamed their pants for the groups at the time, got over it and know are bashing new fans for liking newer groups. I refuse to believe they weren't fangirls at some point considering all the drama they know.
I enjoy the thread but the constant derails of anons being like "why do you know so much about this, why do you like this" are so fucking annoying. It's obvious we were ALL stans of at least one group at some point.
They act like we go to their thread and get angry at them for bashing NCT lol like fucking go ahead, I won't say anything. I even bash them a lot here myself kek

>>12222I just saw them in Citifield last night. I became a fan in 2016 but last year/this year their musical quality took a huge dip so I didn't care for them as much anymore. However, my friend wanted to see them but we didn't get tickets to the Newark shows. I was glad to bring her so she could see them. And in the end it paid off because Citified had fireworks and was outdoors. We were on the highest tier but we had a good view of the stage and the lightsticks. A shame they barely acknowledged their old discography, I guess they're too cool for that now.
>Favorite membersJin because he has fairly decent vocals in the group and I'm sad bighit pays him dust while the rest of vocal line is so popular. I feel like I barely saw him in the concert except during his solo, closing statements and a few shots here and there. I found RM cringey at first (and it didn't help with his old controversies) but I feel like his writing/blogs are insightful sometimes. I disagree with V's English because I remember it was worse last year. I could tell he really tried. I like Suga too but he should stick to rapping.
>ExperienceI went last year to Newark NJ with my friends and the experience wasn't so bad, aside from being in Newark, but at Citifield the girls sitting around me were so obnoxious. They were obviously teenagers and kept yelling I LOVE YOU over and over even when the members weren't on stage and screaming in my ear. On the way home these kboos were trying to hit on unsuspecting Koreans in an extremely cringey way but thankfully they got off the train before it could escalate.
I can't think of anything too memorable besides the lightsticks and Jimin crying (and J-hope with his Mets mascot hat lol). I mostly care about BTS' music rather than the members and the Wings setlist > LY setlist. I think they did harder choreography in that era too; they are so obviously overworked this year but fans continue to praise Bighit for "treating them well" like, okay, sure. They pretty much said flat out they're doing more stadium tours next year so maybe I'll go with a friend again, but I miss their older music.

I was really hyped with Her, even though it was really different from their previous albums.. but after that the whole LY series has been boring, the song fake love was actually good but that's it.

>>12233Out of the pre-LH discog, they did a medley of Attack on Bangtan, Dope, Fire, and Funtan Boys/Boys with Fun and I Need U/Run/Save me. In different stops I heard the medley changed and there was rumors they'd do two at Citifield, but they did only one medley. But even with Wings I remember they did Blood Sweat and Tears, Danger, ect… they didn't even acknowledge Spring Day either.
>>12232Same. HYYH and Dark&Wild probably remains their best work. I might be in the minority with this but I wish they would stop doing solos. I think they work much better in a group even though rapline and Jin barely do anything in title tracks anymore. It's like Jungkook, Jimin and V with 4 backup vocals. Some songs in LY grew on me but I can't imagine their music will get better for their next touring cycle.

The mv, the choreo, and the song are all pretty messy. I wish they'd spent a little more time on this. But I'm not into boy groups for the music anyways so as long as it doesn't make me cringe into oblivion it's all more or less the same mediocre shit to me.

They really went full chigga this time around. If I'm being completely honest, having 127 be on jimmy was doomed to be a cringefest from the start. U or Dream could've pulled it off, but pretty much all the songs 127 perform are cringy and regular doesn't seem like an exception.

>>12222Thanks for sharing this, anon. I think this is such a good neutral concert review. Our opinions are very similar.
>>12240Wings was pretty good and I liked the concept they went for. I love the aesthetic of that era, and I think the video for Blood Sweat & Tears is their best music video alongside with Spring Day. My favourites from the Wings era are Awake, Mama, Lie.
Music-wise, I think TMBMIL pt.2 was their best, all of the songs in this album were so good, Never Mind, Run, Butterfly, Whalien 52, Ma City, Baepsae, Dead Leaves, House of Cards. I love all of these songs.
I think Love Yourself era was weak compared to TMBMIL and Wings eras. School Trilogy wasn't the best musically, but as someone who loves hip hop, I enjoy their music from that era. I like the concepts for the LY albums but the overall sound they went for isn't my taste. I tried hard to like them but I find DNA, Best of Me, half of the songs in LY:T, Idol, I'm Fine very weak. There are some LY songs I love though, Sea, Outro: Her, Outro: Tear, Just Dance, Epiphany

Integrating the Hesse book into the concept was a treat for me as someone who read it before I even knew about BTS. All the solo songs but First Love were strong to me imho.

>>12241I’m genuinely annoyed Johnny didn’t get more lines/screen time in the fucking English release. If they’re going to force an English version of the song at least arrange it so the members who actually do speak English carry the song. I was excited for this because no-line line was getting lines but this was letdown. Johnny isn’t even my bias but holy fuck. This should’ve been JohnJaeMark’s show.
Also yeah I’m gonna say it. Taeyong being essentially the main focus of this version was retarded and a slap in the face to fans who stan other members. I love Taeyong and I’m still annoyed. His English pronunciation was unintelligible and the other members basically just had cameos.
Honestly, fuck this era more than Touch era. At least with Touch we knew what to expect and it wasn’t a total slap in the face to the English line.

No. 12264
>>12258I completely agree with this, it's kind of odd to see how much they disregard the other members. Also why even add Jungwoo if he didn't even sing? He kind of talk rapped a line…
I don't get too mad because I think the best performers ARE the ones that get the most screentime, and it seems logical to me.
I do hate this "I have money I'm cooler than you" era. I really wish it goes away and we get a completely different concept next time. I don't know why koreans think that douchebag swag is the way to enter American market, since BTS did the same shit with Mic Drop. They also kept at it and I'm worried NCT will do the same now. Once you go chigga you never go back? lol
>>12259It really is tragic but… I wonder if they care? Do you guys think Yuta, WW and Johnny really care about screentime? Like don't get me wrong, they are idols so I'm thinking they would like more attention on them, but do they want to be performers in the future? Not all idols actually want to rap/sing and be true "artists" (in kpop lol). Maybe they are happy were they are, just enjoying the ride. They have popularity but are not the main focus of criticism; Johnny has the radio job, is a DJ. Winwin I've seen excited about recording, but I never got any "passion" from him. Yuta I could see being pissed, but considering he's Japanese he could not had expected MUCH success on Korea, so…
I still wish they gave them more to do, but I don't really think they are having a bad time as some fans like to say. TY gets a lot of screentime, but you can just tell he really loves what he does and wants to go even further with it. So it makes sense SM "invests" more time on him.
I can understand the pissed fans though, and I do agree I would like less TY/Mark, but mostly so fans don't ultimately hate them for having more screentime than the rest.
Anyway, instrumental good, lyrics sucked, catchy as fuck though and got stuck on my head at first listen. Dance is weird as all hell and I can't make sense of it until they release the dance practice. Red velvet suits are tacky as fuck and I didn't like them.

Shamelessly ripping off OP of
>>12222 to do a writeup for the BTS concert in london last night. i went with my little sister. im a recent BTS fan who listened to a few of their songs VERY casually since about 2016 but got a lot more into them this year. i got into them during LY era but i prefer a lot of their old stuff.
the whole thing started with a big letdown because jungkook suffered a minor injury to his ankle in rehearsal and the medical team recommended he didnt dance to avoid making it worse. it was just an accident, not his fault, so its not like i held it against him, but at the same time, it did mean we got some odd-looking choreos, and for euphoria he just sat there and sang. it didnt help that jungkook is the centre a lot of the time, which left an odd gap thing in the performances. he sat on this stool on a wheeled platform, and three staff members were wheeling him on and off stage in between performances which was hilarious lol
aside from that, it was a good show.
jhope was great, he knew how to work the cameras and seemed to be having fun on stage. the only thing i would say is that his attempts at english were a little off, but they were appreciated all the same. after him, jimin was probably the best performer, and rapmon was okay at working the camera too, and interacted a lot with the crowd which was nice. it probably helps that he is the best at english. V and jin were utterly forgettable, stage presence-wise. i legit could have forgot they were there. jungkook was okay although it was pretty hard to judge since he was sitting on a stool basically the entire time. crowd-favourites, judging by noise, were jimin and V.
the vocals all sounded as expected for kpop really. i disagree with citifield anon - i think jin's performance was pretty mediocre, although i liked the way the stage was set up for his solo with a piano and smoke machine. actually, the stage settings and lights were great throughout. the best vocals were probably jungkook, but he was just sitting in a chair all night so that kinda makes sense. next was probably jimin, although he did sound a bit off during his solo - almost like there was a problem with his mic? V's vocals weren't bad all the time but they were wildly inconsistent, especially during the vocal line song, in which he shouted all his lines despite it being a calm slow ballad thing lol. they were okay in his solo though
rapline all sounded great live imo. their solos were performed nicely, despite jhope and rm's being pretty weak songs. suga's was great, and the choreo and stage design that went with it was really fitting and fun to watch.
they didnt do much fanservice, apart from this one bit where jimin and V hugged for no reason i guess. on the whole, the crowd was quite calm and restrained for a kpop concert, which may have been part of the reason. they were a lot less obnoxious than i expected. the girl next to me was a weird one though - she never sang along or even really spoke to the friend she had came with. instead, she stood up for every song and shook her army light stick mechanically, without stopping, like a robot. so that was a bit odd lol.
the speeches were a pretty nice touch. jungkook did his in korean because he was shaken from the incident with his injury, and did some apologising and stuff and then cried. i can understand why he would cry from the frustration/pressure, etc, but it was a bit awkward watching him break down. jhope made his speech next, in english, and shouted some stuff which was okay i guess. he was trying pretty hard to be the hopeful persona thing. then it was V, who also did it in english. his speech was actually pretty sweet and i could tell he put effort into it because it wasnt really simple english the entire time. jin did his speech in korean and honestly i dont remember anything he said. jimin did his in korean too, and it was mostly generic and then a bit about jungkook. suga's speech was also in korean and also sweet like V's. then rm did his speech in english, where he said some stuff about being happy to be in the UK charts because the UK and london have so many great musicians, which was nice to hear. then he reassured jungkook a bit which was nice.
overall, i think it was really good, although in the future id prefer if they have less solo stuff and more group choreos, which i think is what you expect from a kpop concert. however i can understand that that would make for a more taxing performance. also if i go again i really hope there arent any more injuries or complications, because watching the choreos with one member missing does look really odd at times, although BTS' crew did a good job of minimising the damage through good camera work.
sorry this got LONG AF, i tried to give a pretty thorough overview. overall i would definitely go again, and my sister says she would too.

I think the theory is that in teasers they were "boring office workers" dreaming of a rich life right? I wished they tied the MV more to the teasers. I was so hyped by them and the MV was NOT what I expected in visuals. They didn't even reference them going to sleep and such, or waking up.

I really like Come Back, Knock On, and Run Back 2 U so far. My favorite part of 127 is undoubtedly the vocal line. I'll never understand why they push Taeyong and Mark all the time while SM's idol rappers are subpar (I say this as a SM artist fan) continues to confuse me.

He's fluent in English so he usually replies to the comments with so much sass. He's the type of person I wanna gossip with about other idols because it seems like he has all the dirty deets.

Am I the only one that got into kpop and tried to show it to some friends just to see how close minded a lot of them are? I get not liking it but they don't even give it a chance.

Let me clarify I NEVER shame anyone for not liking it, I don't give a shit, I'm not a die hard fan and most kpop songs are decent not the best thing ever. What I hate is that they don't even listen to it for a minute, or act like it's the weirdest thing ever.

kunwoocas all got to start off with nice neutral brown hair shades so you really got to focus on their features from the start. jungwoo was only just now getting an experimental af dye job. (well, he had grey hair in the boss m/v but by the time they were promoting and we actually got to know him it was back to light brown, so.)
let's pray the china trio get to keep their rookie hairstyles+colors for debut too.

>>12382Yes even if I prefer the Korean version I appreciate that they are trying to cater more to English speakers. Like Regular track was not my favorite from them, but you can tell by hearing both versions that the original is clearly the English one, and they really tried to fit in with the language and style. So they did prioritize it instead of translating an already existing song from them.
A lot of anons though it was super cringy, but the song really grew on me now. I found it a lot more on track with what you see in America that what other groups did.
In any case, I still prefer the Korean songs and style BUT I did find it nice to be able to sing along to their newer one. Hopefuly they don't focus TOO much on America because the songs are not that important, regular people don't get into kpop because of prejudice or "these boys look gay lol".

>>12419don’t forget china trio. i’m so fucking salty they haven’t debuted yet, they could’ve been adorable at the halloween party too if sm had just gotten its head out of its ass but it’s november and china is supposed to debut this month and still nothing.
i can’t help but feel as if kun is being conspired against sometimes. he’s gotten the short end of every single stick nct has ever had since he debuted and now when he’s supposed to shine it takes forever. meanwhile ten’s had baby don’t stop and a whole solo song+mv+dance and xuxi’s been on multiple reality shows. winwin’s had stuff with u and 127 for ages but has still managed to have less time to shine than those two; it’s like sm shoves him into almost every comeback but also go out of their way to keep his screentime in the negatives. renjun and lele are being kept out of nct china altogether yet they’re probably treated better by sm than the entire rest of the china-line combined.
@sm just say you hate chinese members and go.

>i can’t help but feel as if kun is being conspired against sometimes.Ikr? The fact that he's been with NCT since the rookie days (so, 2015) makes it even worse. If I was him, I'd leave.
>renjun and lele are being kept out of nct china altogetherIs this confirmed or were they just kept out of that one leak? I don't think they'll be kept out entirely. If anything 10 will.
There's a rumor (
https://twitter.com/cloudvelys/status/1055077367876485123?s=0) they're going to call it NCT Vision instead of NCT China or 116 which is lame imo, but whatever. If they don't debut this month I'm going to be pretty pissed, SM has kept us waiting too long. Would it kill them to at least give the unlucky 3 + the rookies a fucking vlive? I'm so tired of 127

>>12421>Is this confirmed or were they just kept out of that one leak? I don't think they'll be kept out entirely.oops i should’ve clarified- they will undoubtedly be added as they graduate from dream (it’s not like they have anywhere else to go) and taking everything including that shoot into consideration putting them china from the get-go while they’re still in dream does seem a bit much… flitting between two countries for promotions and all would be pretty messy and most of all vexing for them, especially considering renjun only has 1 year left in dream and chenle has 2. i was originally really annoyed by the idea them not being in china from the start but i kind of understand the decision now.
>If anything 10 will.i’m genuinely hoping if he’s in china it will only be for the debut and he’ll drop out of and prepare for nct thailand or promote with nct u when renjun and chenle join. i love ten but he’s had so much focus and work already and the chinese members literally haven’t had shit so i want this group to be THEIR chance to shine. there are already so many of them in one group that getting proper lines and screen time for each will be tight, literally just let them have this one thing for fuck’s sake.
>Would it kill them to at least give the unlucky 3 + the rookies a fucking vlive?literally the rookies being properly introduced as nct members and seeing them fuck around with the rest of the bunch is all i fucking ask. i think nct china is long overdue but i’m willing to wait as long as they get a decent debut. what i’m not willing to wait for any longer is the china trio becoming official nct members because not introducing them until the very last second before the unit debuts is just plain retarded and so unfair to them. give nctzens a chance to get to know them first so the three of them can get properly hyped up by fans like the other members.

triggered at the amount of complains on China lol just CHILL they will come eventually. Why can't we enjoy the NCT 127 and Dream stuff without going crazy for the "new next thing/member". I want to enjoy NCT before it gets so crowded dammit… I like the rookies too but it's not like they were introduced 5 years ago, it was just a couple of months ago. Let them take their time to practice and shit, you think SM doesn't want to make more money as soon as possible? They will release them when they are ready.

>>12425it’s just that china has been delayed for ages and now that they’re supposed to debut this month the rookies haven’t even been properly introduced as nct members. of course fans are going to grow annoyed if they’re promised something and it keeps being delayed for seemingly no reason.
i personally don’t have a huge problem with nct china being delayed but there’s absolutely no excuse to keep the rookies out of the loop at this point. they’ve already been practicing for years and they’ve already become acquainted with the other members (at least the vision lineup) so the only thing that’s left is to be formally inducted into the group. then they can appear in v-lives and fuck around with the others and all will be good, and nct china can follow at whatever pace sm sees fit.

>>12480Chill, WW won't even be on the promo since they are busy with NCT China. You'll get your precious China boys soon you bunch of complainers.
>>12479I'm in love with the styling of the video sooo much. I still need to listen to the song a couple of times to decide what I think but the looks, the dance, the concept are spot on to me. So I'm super happy with this comeback over the Regular one.
Also bless the styling team for giving Yuta forehead finally, he looks awful with the bangs.

>>12479the song is interesting, loved the styling and the whole video with the walking choreography and masks was creepy-cool but where the fuck were doyoung and jungwoo?
doyoung's my ult so of course i'll notice when he's only got like two lines but i deadass forgot jungwoo even joined 127 until he finally had his one and a half line towards the end of the song. taeil had it only marginally better and johnny and winwin never have lines ever in the first place but at least johnny got some seconds of peeping center time and we got to see a shot of win's face at least twice.
i love taeyong and mark just as much as i love the rest of the group but sm's retarded favoritism needs to go.

>>12484Lol they are just grasping at straws because of all the controversy that BTS had this past weeks.
I'm just waiting for people to try to say that Taeyoung is racist now for having a headwrap lol, you know it's coming…
>>12482You know I really don't want to sound super salty and I understand some fans wanting to see more of their favorites. But I feel you guys are sooo nitpicky. Yes, Taeyong and Mark get a lot of screentime but in this MV a lot of the other members did too. Haechan, Yuta, even Johnny had screentime. Also Doyoung and Jungwoo had lines, and they were really nice and stand out a lot. The bridge was really beautiful and actually my favorite part of the song.
Also as another anon mentioned Winwin is not going to be on the promo, why do you want him to have lines since another member will have to do them for him? lol
Do you guys listen to the albums? The last one had a lot of ballad type songs and vocal line shined on those. NCT 127 is known for hard hitting comebacks and main track will always have a lot of Tae and Mark presence since they are the best rappers in the group.
WW will have his comeback soon and hopefully more time to shine. They picked the guy up from China and I doubt he had much training as the others, I wouldn't find it odd if he was training for NCT China all along. Only member I feel sorry for getting less lines is Yuta and I've been noticing him more and more lately on songs, so I'm hoping they give him even more to do in the future.
I really liked the song and everyone was looking soooo good. Classic NCT 127 mess song and I love it.

His looks are exactly my type, some what baby faced and cute, but not a manlet (he's also still way taller than me). Although I can't really comment on his personality too much since he's an idol, he seems to actually be considerate of others, and has a true passion for music (but perhaps not the idol life so much). Every time I see him irl and see him smiling so brightly, it just reconfirms my ult for him lmao, I hope to become a fansite for him soon

>>11970This comeback was sooo good. I really liked the choreo. I have to say as an NCT fan that I think Seventeen (as a group) dances a lot better, they are just SO good and in synch. I'm always shocked at their dance practices.
The video gives me NCT vibes as well and I think some of the fandom was complaining about that, so dumb considering they didn't invent the "bad boy" concept lol. I'm all up for it since I like that concept more than anything else, especially sugary songs.
Am I the only one kind of underwhelmed by the latest choreo in Simon Says and Regular? Like they are splitting the members into groups lately and I liked the cohesive dance where ALL members are dancing at the same time, like Cherry bomb.
Since members go in an out in latest ones it gets confusing and gives me a headache, it also looks really off in live shows since the camera doesn't know where to focus.
Red hair TY is back so hopefully next comeback will have better choreo. I just want another cool moment like that step where they all move slightly with their feet to the left in Cherry bomb, you know which one I mean lol

I'm really underwhelmed by it to be honest, cool visuals but the song sounds pretty much like the previous versions and I've already heard it so many times. English version is best to me, since it was obviously originally intented to be in English.
Also, I may get hate for this because I'm aware that idols are "manufactured" whatever and you all have such a major boner for china line, but it just feels like a rip off of Mark and TY's rap? They didn't really bring anything different, they just copied the style. I was really expecting something cool from Lucas and YangYang… Also the last person I was expecting to rap TY's part was Kun? Really odd choice.
Are they releasing another MV? Or do we have to wait for a comeback now to see something new? I feel bad for the group that they had to debut with a song from NCT, they should have their own track. I'm worried they will only get NCT songs and that's it.
>I was hoping lucas would be the TY or at least the Mark of wayv but most of his lines were adlibs and the dispersal was even for everyone besides winwin and henderyI worry Lucas is more a visual than anything to be honest? I really like his voice so I hope they give him longer raps intead of deep voiced adlibs and things like that. Hope he doesn't get th same fate as Felix from Stray Kids lol
I also hope Ten is not a rapper in this unit, I prefer him a million times more as a singer. His part in Seventh sense is the weakest to me. He just whispers the whole time and it doesn't fit his image at all.

They gave us virtually nothing.
>the last person I was expecting to rap TY's part was Kun? Really odd choice.I thought so too, that's weird as fuck. Never thought he would end up getting the most actual lines.
Anyways, Lucas's singing voice is cute too. Maybe his rapping will improve now that he's doing it in a language he seems to be more comfortable with.

>>12608i hated both original versions of regular and i know they’re supposed to be trashy but that doesn’t mean i have to like it. this version is at least somewhat classy, aesthetically pleasing and the visuals are nice.
but more importantly —
winwin had little screentime and basically no lines.
hendery had one line and barely any screentime.
and frankly, i don’t understand why sm had to shove ten down our throats this hard by giving him repeated singing and rap lines while also seemingly having him as the center. even without mark and taeyong, sm still manages to be complete and utter shit with their shameless favoritism and worthless line distribution. ten’s had baby don’t stop and his own fucking solo already.
sicheng and hendery deserved so much better than this, i’m so pissed.

>MV was great visually.>styling was great.>all the new members are cute!cons:
>Ten doing vocals, rapping and dancing is just too much. He simply does not have the range.>None of the vocal parts stood out to me positively. I also felt like they kept some background vocals from 127 but maybe that's just me.>The fact that sm rlly said u bitches better dance to this old shit on TWO out of THREE songs on the EP… no words.All in all kinda meh.

>>12634So does Sehun. I love him dearly, but his is so bad that anyone can immideately hear it regardless of what language(s) they speak and he was easily the weakest rapper in EXO on top of that. Despite those things, he had way more lines and screentime than Winwin at this point in his career even though he wasn't as popular.
Most people understood why Sehun never got too many lines after hearing him get them. If they'd at least let Sicheng bomb a song once, I'd shut up and accept his fate. I do hope he gets a "Tempo" moment one day though.

I'm still kind of obsessed with this song. Shitty English aside I really appreciate how different it is from anything else in kpop. Especially recently I wish there was more variety in kpop releases instead of piggybacking off trends a year after they were popular in the US. I'm not a jpop fan but I do feel like it is better than kpop in that aspect

They might've acted a bit more clingy for the camera…..or maybe not because from what winwin has said about yuta it seems like he acts like that all the time. Of course sm did try to profit of it for the sake of a 'ship' or whatever, but I think they liked each other for real (idk about now they haven't interacted for a long time)
One reason I'm saying this is because in this episode of nct life was the first time he actually met winwin and they seemed to like other right away (I guess yuta wanted to help out a fellow foreigner and winwin appreciated that)

>inb4 "rock your world" and "I'm ready for take-off" are the only songs that aren't hand me downs from 127
the fact that both their album and superhuman are dropping on the same day guarantees it. would be nice if wayv could either be its own thing or be like one of the two shelved subunits that aren't trash instead of the one that is.

Also I want the anon that went to the NCT concert to give us more info on it. People in the Critical thread were so unnecessarily mean to her, calling her a bad mother and stuff. I hardly see people supporting NCT there but they still screech about fans defending their oppas itt when nobody is saying shit.

No. 30924
>>30888It's pretty cool. Agree with
>>30895, it's the best NCT has had in a while. I like the song more than the video but the mixing could've been a lot better. Fits in nicely with other mandopop boy group music though.
The past few months have been very unfortunate for NCT. Everything they've put out since October has sounded like leftovers from other SM groups. I hope 127 goes back to having an identity of its own and WayV establishes one for itself in the next year. Until then Dream and U remain the superior sub units by a long shot.
>>30889 Pardon my white knighting but this is the most lines he's gotten in a song afaik and he's more than twice as popular as any of the other members outside of Xuxi. He's hardly useless in WayV.
No. 30929
>>30924Even though I like NCT and Taeyong, it's kind of funny how hard SM pushes TY yet Winwin, with all 0.8 of his lines in the NCT 127 and NCT U songs, managed to become one of the most popular members anyway.
This WayV song should have been their debut imo, rather than a cover of regular. That might have been SM's way to try and tie the group more to NCT though.
No. 30932
>>30929I get what you mean, but I think Winwin has a lot of fans just because kpop fans like to white knight "underdog idols". He's like the Jin of BTS. I have no problem with him, I really don't dislike any member of NCT but you can't really say he has more fans than Taeyong because he's more talented or likable, you know kpop fans like to baby him.
I would say Taeyong has a lot of fans too just because SM constantly pushes him down everyone's throat. I'm not giving him that much credit either.

I agree with people in comments saying this sounds more like a SHINee song. I like it but sounds so out of place for 127. They've been really bizarre lately, I hope we get a NCT U comeback soon. Guess it's being put off because three members of the division are in WayV.

>>31481I know it's rotational but members like Haechan for example are not in NCT U. And now you're three members down, so if you start adding people from 127 that were not there before, it will just be basically the same unit but with a different sound. I think they've grown more accustomed to bigger groups so I don't know if they'll go with the ones that remain or not. I really liked the original NCT U lineup and it was smaller (but I guess Ten would not be there though).
Maybe they'll include some members from Dream? What's up with them? I'm aware Mark graduated and stuff but are they having a comeback or what?

I think I shared my preference on YouTube once and almost got crucified by an exo-l lol
We should share our own here. I think my top ones are all from Taeyong, but to give a bit more variety to the thread (a lot of nct fans here) I'll share this one of Rocky from Astro since he needs a LOT more recognition. Cheekbones for days.

>>33965I always had the impression that, unlike BTS, EXO never really tried with english-speaking markets. They always focused most of their resources on the Korean, Japanese and Chinese markets instead.
Also I just don't think the US market is really open to any "manufactured" boybands, the only market they can appeal to is ex-one direction fans. EXO would probably be able to widen their fanbase in america, but they wouldn't break into the american mainstream. Same goes to BTS, I think their US popularity is just loud ARMY support, no amount of public appearances and collabs with US celebrities will make them a beloved group to the american public.
No. 33968
>>33965sm groups in general tend to have better vocalists than other companies' groups because they actually take vocal training seriously. while i'm not a huge fan of exo, all of them except sehun and kai are decent singers. especially d.o and chen are pretty good.
i don't think people who see bts as the best mean their vocals are the best since it's obvious that vocals aren't their strongest point. the reason why they are so popular is because of their marketing and their social media presence. they are always keeping up with american pop trends and catering to their international audience while exo sticked more to their asian audience.

So Produce x 101 finale happened. Don't know if any farmers watch it. Tbh I don't and I don't really follow kpop that much anymore, though I do check in occasionally on my biases. Anyway the finale was a massive bummer because Jinhyuk was always a favorite of mine since Up10tion debuted and it seems like they suddenly shafted him out of the lineup even though it seemed like he had a really good chance of making it? I was pretty excited for the Produce x 101 group and was thinking maybe it'd get me back into kpop for a bit, but now that Jinhyuk isn't in it I am a sore loser about it. I'm usually more of a girl group fan because I guess I feel like I've outgrown the appeal of boy groups and don't find many of them interesting/attractive anymore, but he's one of the few I'm genuinely into. Ah well too bad.
Anyway thoughts on the new group/the finale? (any other up10tion fans here, I know they're pretty irrelevant kek)

>>40882I always hated this show. The idea of it is just gross. I was cheking it tho because I seen Nam Donghyun was in it but… damn shame. I feel sorry for Jinhyuk too (or for everyone who lost, to be honest).

I know that most people here love NCT but I'm so mad that Exo is getting sacrificed for them, they would have deserved so much more for bringing SM all that money. Baekhyun is one of the best singers in entire kpop and Jongin is super popular, his looks, dancing and sexy manly image would have been received well in the US, but no, instead of getting their own comeback and solos or at least a less embarrassing american debut, they're only being used for the sake of Lee So Man's darling boys Mark and Taeyong.
Seriously, how rich are those two's parents? Mark is in about every single group and Taeyong get's pushed and pushed despite being a scammer and a subpar rapper. Do they think normie americans will flock to his alien looking face? And even if they do, when they find out about his bully past (if it's only in the past…) he'll be 'cancelled!' too.
What did they do to deserve this? Baek and Jongin seem so extremely tired too lately, getting overworked just to be humiliated in the end… Jopping has high chances of being the worst kpop song of 2019 if not of all time.
No. 53306
>>53304Agreed. I feel so sorry for them and as much as I was hoping it wouldn’t flop, it will without a doubt if the leaked song is anything to go by. I feel Kai and Baekyun (esp the latter) have gotten the short end of the stick here and are merely props to push the Taeyong and Mark show. Even Baek’s videos/trailers seemed to have virtually no effort put into them.

>>53313>>53318I saw such comments too. Fans even wrote that Taeyong supposedly wrote one song? If it's remotely similar to jopping then that's nothing to brag about.
The promotional poster already shows the blatant bias. Kai is supposed to be the tall and sexy dancer, his well proportioned body is a big part of his appeal, yet they tried their best to hide all of it. Meanwhile Taeyong is all in your face and shooped to look tall and toned.
Baekhyun is a twink and not very attractive by western standards, so how is he supposed to gain fans when he neither is able to show his fun personality because he can't english at all nor gets the chance to showcase his voice? He's literally just a filler member. Taemin at least get's to be the center - but seemingly also with very little lines.

>>53391Yeah taeyong and mark have writing credits on half of nct127's discography and its all garbage. In fact, if a nct song sounds especially bad, it's v likely that at least one of them was heavily involved its production.

Man, Baekhyun looks tired and skinny af… He seems downright depressed. A solo album, a tour with exo, the sperm debut and an upcoming exo album is simply way too much. There's supposedly a video of him not being able to walk after a concert in like thailand…?
The others also look not too happy, but at least not that sick. Most fans in the comments also say that they look very old and haggard in the individual pictures (and that Taemin needs to tone down on the fillers).

Baekhyun is known for being short, no big deal, but both Taemin and Taeyong claim to be 5'10 - which they obviously aren't. Plus Taeyong got shooped to be taller than Jongin

>>53786I avoided listening to the leaked audio because I wanted to see the MV first. And damn, I hate the song so much lol. It's just so… boring? I was expecting something so much cooler, it doesn't really feel like a kpop group it gives me the same vibe as Black on Black, like just a performance song to do from time to time.
I really don't see the point of the unit to be honest, but it could had been actually cool if the song wasn't such garbage. When Baekhyun sang two lines just felt embarrassed for him lol the song is so beneath him and this is coming from someone that really likes NCT, TY and Mark.
I think I'll just ignore the fact this exists lol
No. 55347
>>55317I don't really understand what qualifies a song as noisy.
For ex I like this one cause it sounds more like an anthem but I don't like the stray kids comeback, and they get called noisy as well. Not even simon says sounds like noise to me
No. 55410
>>55347I liked the song too, the only thing I would criticize it for is that it sounds like several songs stuck together somehow. I've noticed this a LOT with kpop songs lately. I guess it's because they need to create "sections" for the rappers to shine, but they still make it really jarring most of the time.
Maybe that's what anons mean when they say "noisy"? I think giving it a second or third listen makes it easier to get into it because at first listen you have the constant beat changes and the added issue of not understanding korean, so you don't the lyrics either (also you're constantly hearing english words mixed with korean which is also confusing). I think that's why a lot of people usually say that they liked the song more after replaying a bit.
In any case ATEEZ is best with choreo and live performances so I can't wait to see them.
No. 55414
>>55410For example I think the cut between the chorus and Mingi's rap is not "pleasant" it sounds out of nowhere. That's what I mean.
Same for Dalla Dalla from Itzy. I hated it at first listen and then I saw a couple of live performances and it kind of got stuck in my head lol but you can't deny it's like 4 songs mashed together.
Is this only a trend in kpop? I guess when you have 6+ members you need to get "creative" with the song arrangement.
No. 55425
>>55347Maybe noisy is a bit of an exaggeration but I feel like ateez's wonderland is noisy in the sense that there are a lot of prominent musical elements within the same parts. Some people consider noise to just mean a lot of distinct layers in the song.
I have no music knowledge but I can identify energetic vocals/rap, strong beat, synth sounds, strings, and other orchestral/band parts. I like it, it sounds well-composed because each layer has its own melody and they make a pleasing harmony together. It's kinda like dreamcatcher's symphonic metal influences, lots of different elements but mixed well
Something like stray kids 'side effects' is often called noisy and I think it's because of the repetition. The hardcore/electronic style has a lot of fast, loud, consecutive sounds with not much melody so it feels flat, and people think it's "just noise"
Not that one style is better or worse than another. But ATEEZ definitely has nice composition and harmonies
No. 55426
>>55317this is the only ateez title track that I've enjoyed. most of their previous songs sound awful to me even though I like noisy music.
>>55347that stray kids song was boring imo. it was noise but generic noise if that makes sense.

I promised myself to skip out on sperm but i can't help but love all of the boys. I thought they did well with choosing a sound that's completely different from bts but even more singing and less rap would've been better to show off how good sm's vocals are. One of the main problems with kpop is that they're perceived as looking the same, so the all black outfits - in contrast to bts' colourful gucci style - was also a good choice to make them seem different.
Them being awkward with each other didn't bother me at all. When exo debuted they also didn't seem close but nobody cared, it's natural to need some time to get adjusted to one another and get closer and closer as the years pass by. Maybe i'm a dumb oldfag but i feel that only in the recent years groups started to shill the "we're best friends" trope so hard.
And anons who call the members hags are no better than the neckbeards who drop a gg once they're no longer teens. Normal guys in their 20s are usually greasy, fat and sometimes already balding, so what more do you want… I prefer guys who might look a little plastic over guys who are natural but fugly as sin.
I wonder just how much and how quickly they had to study english, exo and taemin didn't know any at all, so i was quite pleasantly surprised. Jongin still has quite an accent but baekhyun sounds very good. They managed to mask them not being fluent quite well on ellen, all of them talked and mark only translated a short bit once. I think that left a good impression.
But even tho i hate to, i have to agree with the bts twitterfags: she seemed to hate them… The donation part was also way too forced.
I really would have wished them to do well, i even like the songs because they remind me of the old sm dbsk sound, but i guess this group will just silently end and never be talked about again after the tour. I'm relieved that at least tickets seem to sell well, like 80% already.
Sorry for the long post lol
No. 55593
>>55410>>55425Thanks for explaining anons. There's a lot of kpop songs that are like a mishmash of sounds in one, but you're right that there's a lot more of them nowadays. Maybe I just got too used to it to really notice.
Apparently the guy who did Everglow's Adios produced this track as well, they sound quite similar
I can't wait to see the performance and the full choreo. They improved a lot in a short period of time

Listening to kpop has rotted my brain>>55552The only guy that looks haggish is Taemin. If he stopped abusing fillers he would look fine.
>>55850Aw i think its cute when he speaks english. I hope the next 127 comeback they focus more on korean promotions.
No. 55913
>>55850Nct lost all its appeal for me around september 2018, when lucas, ten, and dream got thrown in the dungeon. Nct went straight back to being the boring group with noisy, mediocre music and awful styling it was before empathy era. The fandom has become completely insufferable and "weizennis" are even worse. I still like dream but they never do anything anymore and they're all about to graduate. At this point I can't see the group going anywhere unless they somehow manage to pull another empathy.

No. 55961
>>55913>if they gave them something to doAs an exofag this also ticked me of, like come on, nct got to do so much already, any more and fans would complain about them getting overworked.
Plus exo's main vocals already sounded polished right after debut, no amount of vocal training get's you to that point if you aren't already naturally gifted.
No. 56037
>>11970>>55961Same anon that complained. Lol I'm not saying to give MORE to NCT, actually the opposite since I only see people start to hate them because of it. Yes, EXO is clearly superior but why is it bad for me to say that I think Taeil, Jaehyun and Doyoung could be as good if they gave them more to work with? Most NCT songs don't relay on good vocals. In any case I just feel like they're really wasting everyone's talent because of how they manage the group.
>>55913I really like Dream too, they should have more comebacks but yes, they are almost "graduating" and I really doubt SM will just move them all to other groups. The graduation concept is so dumb.
>>55905Oh yes I think TY is adorable speaking English, I mean when he tries to sound badass lol his English sounds weird when he raps and it turns me off.
>>55899Watch some NCT U comebacks and dance practices. they are the best in my opinion.
No. 56634
>>55850I watch the comebacks but I've been losing interest in 127 since Regular because I'm done with SM shoving Taeyong+Mark down our throats, I still like them but I'm tired of them rn. Maybe the 127's concepts have been boring too. Dream's and Wayv's comebacks were nice, I want more stuff from them but ofc we'll mostly get Markyong anyway. There are 21 members but only 2 of them get pushed all the time, it's ridiculous.
I'd be interested in new 127 cb if they changed the concept a little, I hope we won't get the same noisy Simon Says type of thing with them dressed in roadworker outfits again.

>>58262i was in the same place as you a few months ago, anon. it can be extremely daunting trying to jump back in.
highly recommend loona, “eclipse,” “new,” “egoist,” “girl front,” “sweet crazy love,” & “hi high” are highlights. for me at least they’re the only current group worth stanning even though they haven’t been active for 8 months and their future is uncertain kek.
twice, dreamcatcher, & CLC have good discogs too.
twice: yes or yes, what is love?, fancy, knock knock, likey
dreamcatcher: you and i, piri, silent night, curse of the spider, i miss you
CLC: black dress, distance, to the sky, show, no
edit: just realized you were searching for full albums. i second the other anon that most full releases are not really worth DL’ing, but i’d go for:
loona odd eye circle - max & match (must-have, this is an extremely strong collection of synth pop/r&b/dream pop tracks)
loona - X X
wonder girls - reboot
CLC - black dress & no. 1 EPs
twice - TWICEcoaster lane 2
dreamcatcher - raid of dream
sunmi - warning

>>58302>>58562Thanks anons, will def check your recs out. I already like that Loona song. But yeah actually in retrospect asking for albums wasn't the best idea because they really are full of filler.

Slightly ot, but do any other anons have a kpop/album collection? Mines rather small as I prioritise lolita and manga more (also poorfag), but this is excluding tour merch/clothes/photo cards. I'm working on getting all bts albums, but I want to start collecting shinee albums too since I've been a Shawol for 2 years

>>58625I’m not a kpop fan anymore, but I collected for about 2 years before I stopped. I never had the proper shelves to put everything up (magazines/photobooks/albums) so here’s a pic from about a year ago. It’s gotten bigger but i’ve packed away all of my stuff so this is the best one i have. This kind of makes me want to take it all out again and try and jam it all in a shelf just to see what it would look like

>>58625I've been pirating since 2008, streaming on spotify since 2013-ish and my physical collection consists of one wonder girls single album
When Why So Lonely came out, I knew their days were probably numbered and I should support them while I still could. I thought they'd have at least one more full album with the band concept. I still feel kind of bitter and a little guilty about it.
I would probably have bought some loona stuff if their parent company wasn't involved in arms dealing.
