>>25237Eunbi is considered the "group mom" if I recall correctly. I wouldn't be surprised if they consider her more of a nanny. She's mostly shilled for looking similar to rv's irene, but she has actual talent, can dance and sing, so she's one of the few members who deserves to be there. I was surprised that she was in the final group, considering the netizen reaction to trainees on produce 48 (the survival show that formed the group) who were older than like, I don't know, 18-20, they were bashing older trainees and praising younger ones.
There were a lot of girls in the first top 20 ranking who were adults but they seemingly booted them all out of the final group with possibly rigged votes bc mnet knew the underage girls and cutesier music would bring in bank.
>Lee Kaeun: 1994>Miyazaki Miho: 1993>Takeuchi Miyu: 1996>Shiroma Miru: 1997these girls all ranked in the top 10 of the top 20 in the second to last voting period prior to the final episode of produce 48 and somehow plummeted in the last episode to all rank under rank 13, so tbh I wouldn't be surprised if the girls, especially the Japanese 48group girls who were born in the early-mid 90s were ousted from the votes on purpose because of their age, im surprised even Sakura (1998) is allowed in the group, by korean standards she's practically a granny, it's probs only because the netizens like her. Sakura is cute physically but a deadweight member talent wise, but at least she's better than dead fish eyed Hyewon who doesn't deserve to be in izone at all

>>25249>but she has actual talent, can dance and sing, so she's one of the few members who deserves to be thereDebateable. She doesn’t really stand out in any of those areas compared to the average idol. Many trainees who ranked lower outshone her throughout the show.
However I agree with you on those other four idols being discriminated because of their age. As said before, the guy behind the PD101 outed himself as a creepy, superficial pedo when he compared his show to healthy porn (since many of the contestants are underage). No doubt that the show’s rigged so that the IZONE members were picked based on their looks + youth first and foremost (with a couple of odd picks thrown in there based on potential backlash from having solely talentless models).
I recall that one post from the industry insider saying that Mnet pimps out trainees that have participated in their shows/are under labels associated with them—selling them to sponsors for a price. Given what’s been leaked from a notoriously private industry, I find that 100% believeable. Disturbing to think that Wonyoung has been through more than just seeing comments from older male fans sexualizing her.

>>25244Oh my god this is terrible, they all look like they have some sort of social anxiety with the way they are fidgeting, I mean they weren't even supposed to have any reaction but even the way they're standing and their facial expressions are unbearable. The only one that didn't make me cringe that much was jungkook, he seemed a bit more natural and it seemed like he controlled his facial expressions better. Years of training my ass, they literally look like it's their first time on TV and Jin's lip fillers are atrocious they all look terrible from the surgeries they had.
In my opinion rapmon needed the surgery he was really fucking ugly before and he's still extremely ugly even after the PS but I think the plastic surgery was an improvement in his case. Jungkook needed the rhinoplasty and he looked nice but now they're doing more stuff to his face and he looks scarier and scarier, I'm afraid he'll shave his jaw or something because he's literally the only one in the whole group that looks somewhat nice. Jin is ugly as sin but he didn't need those lip fillers, he looks like flappy bird. Suga was pretty nice looking before and now he looks like shit because of the plastic surgery. J-hope is a plastic monster and that's really sad because he was definitely one of the better looking ones of the group. Jimin already had an odd looking face but surgery was also not needed in his case and it made him look worse. V has a punchable face and his facial expressions scream autism and I know he's got work done but they didn't fuck him up that badly yet. Why must South Korea fuck up perfectly average or fine looking faces? The whole point of plastic surgery is to make a person look better not botch them until they're unrecognizable. South Korea the capital of botched plastic surgery.

If I remember their time at Knowing Brothers, Jimin was not the most entertaining. None of them were, except for RM, who spoke the most and Jin, who hit the nerve of asian variety, I guess. The rest of them were not really entertaining enough to do shows constanly. But it is a long time since I saw anything from them, so maybe I´m wrong.

>>25423>Everyone seems alright with Jungkook and Jimin is just a downgraded version of him tbh.How? Explain
Jungkook is just very much "invisible" and that's why he's less annoying.
Same for Jin, he has the same punchable face as Jimin and Ratmon, weak jaw and disgusting fat bj lips, but he's just not enough in the spotlight to always deserve our hate lol
If Jungkook started to pull faces like a whiny baby whenever on tv most farmers would shit on him more as well. Jimin's "insecurity" makes him extra unlikeable, since this only results in his stans kissing his ass even more.

>>25461After that shirt incident, I think it's safe to say there are actually strong nationalistic tendencies in him, though I think most Koreans share that point of view.

>>25292Man, why are people so utterly obsessed with these dudes? The song is really boring and they're not attractive at all which is weird bc these groups pretty much only exist to look nice… They all look deformed to me.
That being said something about their attitude is interesting. I haven't seen many MVs but in the ones I've seen they're usually grinning and they act like they're fucking around? I can see the appeal in that carefree energy, they have a boyish air to them which is perhaps why their crazy fans are prone to infantilizing them. I think a youthful vibe suits kpop's aesthetics more since everyone looks like toddlers and wears incredibly stupid outfits. Like it makes me more uncomfortable when people styled to look so young act sexy. Still don't like the music or their looks, though. Weird.
>>25371She looks more "expensive" bc the rest of the group is consistently styled to look dumpy in comparison like those ugly blonde hairdos.
>>25457Idk much about these dudes and do not watch interviews but Kristen Stewart was constantly accused of being a douchey person when in reality she has pretty serious anxiety + insecurity (and really shouldn't have been an actor considering she is camera shy). Maybe something like that is the case for some of these idols that look really upset around others. Totally not the right job for them in that case tbh. At any rate going ham on headcanon about why a celebrity acted the way they did is just kinda obsessive.

These idols are egging their fans on to waste their time and energy streaming for meaningless views. They're probably desperate to stay on top and desperate to take back all the records, JK especially. Say whatever you want about V but V wanted to do a simple selca and JK wanted to use it as bait first. That's why I laugh at ppl who keep bringing up that JK would date a member of BP. He's too competitive and egotistical; he would never be able to be with a female idol threatening his career.

Jennie was trending world wide and I wonder how many of them caught that Jennie clearly picks and chooses which audiences are worthy of her energy. There were rumors about her being a bully 'banana' (white on the inside, yellow on the outside) in NZ when she was predebut (check old netizenbuzz circa 2013-2014) so that wouldn't surprise me.

>>25574honestly part of the problem is that the kpop boybands are too weird looking, plastic, childish, effeminate and identical for most Westerners. Those Greek TV hosts were only saying what a lot of people think. Whatever appeals to k-popper girls doesn't necessarily appeal to the wider audience. Like where does BTS fit in the western pop star or boy band aesthetic even among the most effeminate pop stars? They resemble end-stage plastic surgery MJ more than anything else
Compared with that BLACKPINK's aesthetic is pretty internationally viable (except the ghost skin, talentlessness and thinness)
No. 25585
>>25577>Jennie clearly picks and chooses which audiences are worthy of her energy.I can't tell if I completely agree with that or not since they haven't had that many performances but I do see her as an opportunist who likes to shine in front of the right people. I have the feeling that she gets bored with the Korean audience, unless it's a super special event or something that makes her shine individually.
She seems to like the celebrity life (fashion shows, photoshoots, etc.)more than being an actual singer.
But these are just my assumptions. And now she is actually energetic after the lazy thing, so…good for her.

>>25583Yeah but western audiences are not as narrowingly lookist as Korean ones, BP just being pretty and skinny won't work in their favour for long because they'll have to show some talent or charisma sooner or later. BTS can brag about having writing credits in their songs and the whole "small company" sob story, black pink are the definition of a silver spoon group who've got even lesser going on for them than BTS.
That said both groups are terribly overrated and I am praying for Adele/Beyonce/Rihanna to release multiple songs this year so the world can remember what good music sounds like again

Taylor is releasing in two weeks and while she's not exactly talented she usually gets the gp's attention. Rihanna and Childish may be dropping something soon. Adele and Bey are definitely coming back this year. The last thing anyone wants is a damn Kpop summer, but it's hilarious to see Old Town Road smashing from some nobody + a hasbeen while Kpop groups, with all their hype and views, barely struggling to stay afloat for more than 2 weeks in the upper half of the Hot 100.

>When the night comes>Tumble tumble tumbleAnd this is just about fucking falling all over yourself because you’re a drunk shit.

furthermore, why youtube? everyone knows it's not a genuine indicator of an artist's popularity. katy perry notoriously bought views to make it seem like her most recent album didn't flop as hard as it did. one of the songs that previously held the 24 hour record was taylor swift's most hated single.

>The April 13 telecast of Saturday Night Live, with host Emma Stone and musical guest BTS, averaged a 3.9 Live+Same Day household rating in the metered markets, and a 1.5 adults 18-49 rating in the markets with local people meters. That was down from SNL’s episode last week hosted by Kit Harington with musical guest Sara Bareilles (4.4, 1.7). Last night’s show hit a season low in meter-market households and tied a demo season low in people-meter markers. The numbers, which are not unusual for SNL this time a year, also represent a near series low (HH) and tied for a series low (18-49). No. 25888
>>25885I think this demonstrates that their popularity isn’t so much in the US as it is in other Asian countries.
Less people watched this episode, which means they either actively avoided this episode, didn’t care about the guests or the guests previously were more popular.
Either way, it’s just becoming more and more evident that their supposed “conquering of the US” is smoke and mirrors and a rabid fan base, rather than actual recognition from the general public.

Her jaw was fine before, she just happened to follow the same v-line jaw trend that all the kpop girls and guys do.

There's nothing inherently wrong with having a more squared jaw, as humans do, the likelihood of having a naturally triangular jaw is, well impossible, pointy, maybe, but not shaped like a straight V. Koreans really need to let the v line jaw trend die.

>>26076To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand BTS albums. The storyline is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rap Monster's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these songs, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike BTS truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the depth in RM's existential catchphrase "I'm a beat that pussy like you never ever felt before," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as BTS's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Jimin tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for my future kpop bf eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

But since 2013 sales have shrunk a LOT, the biggest songs get about one million now. K-pop is still important as a cultural/advertising force but I don't think average people are checking for it as much now and the audience is getting younger. The tweenification and wota-type shit that you get from groups fanbases is indicative of this.
Also ballads are a lot more important to Koreans than they are to k-pop fans.

They called Wheein the "maknae" despite being a few months older and IIRC it was to not draw further attention and thus bashing to Hwasa. They were a small-time group and they've always had a pretty solid fan base but I'm surprised they got so big.
For some reason even back then when she seemed so insecure, there were a ton of English comments talking about how confident she was and how badass etc she was for it. Then at some point in time she made this complete 180 and became some kind of minor it-girl and I have no idea when or how that happened. Good for her though.

>>26401ARMYs might be a minority on the site but they’re loud and annoying nonetheless—like incels.
Anyway, I was thinking about how harcore fans of whatever get tattoo of shit they’re into (which is a bad idea 99% of the time imo) and how there are probably BTS ones out there. Was right. I just can’t see these aging well as some of these fans hit their late twenties and are interacting more with the world outside of a K-pop bubble.

Also those sales are largely due to Winwin's Chinese fans who buy 100k copies each; with Winwin effectively out of 127 we'll see exactly how much their latest comeback sells

>tl;dr a suga-chan is sad and tinfoils Was a fan in the early days, paid attention to them then because I thought at least 3 of them had semi-genuine personalities and still had hope for nugu groups to be different. Anyway, I think partly why he stayed because his mom is sick and he’s a depressed motherfucker who hates himself.
In an early song, Moving On, he writes this:
>Ever since I was born>I counted the days for my first move>I remember why I had to move>The machine in my mom’s heart and the big scarSome people think that he was born by c-section but if the above translation is correct, and the machine is IN his mom’s heart, then she might have heart problems. A pacemaker or something. Mentioned once in an old album review that his mom was very sick after he was born and had to have surgery. Fast forward a few years, his parents opened a restaurant in like 2017 only to close a year later because of “health problems.”
He’s mentioned before that when he was young, he lived with grandmother for awhile. Has also stated that he grew up in a poor family and I think his mom being ill was the reason. If only his father was working then that probably wasn’t enough to support all of them. Also, mom sick, dad working probably an inhumane amount of hours for pennies…yeah. I think this probably scared the shit out of him as a kid. Stuff like that leaves a mark.
In a radio interview after debut, (think it was with a SuJu member) he says his parents once threw away all his music shit because his grades weren’t good enough for them. In another radio interview, he said his parents didn’t approve of him wanting to be involved in music. Rough quote, "My parents were very much against me becoming a rapper so to make me reconsider, they hit me and we fought, and things like this…so I made music like this.”
In a Halloween vlive, he mentions that his father is the scariest thing to him. And then quickly changes the subject. A few quotes:
>”He’s scarier than ghosts.”>Gets asked by ratmon to imitate his dad >”If I did an imitation of him, they wouldn’t be able to air this. So I can’t do that.”>subject change So he’s used to abuse by now, and probably thinks everything is his fault.
Another thing:
He originally just wanted to be producer, but being in an ~idol training program~, he had to dance.
Quote:
>”Suddenly they made me dance. They made me dance. They didn't let me leave the dorms for 3 years because they wanted me to practice.”>rest of the members confirm that they didn’t have a lot of freedom>idol mill (we should all know how those go)One of their early reality shows (Rookie King, the ep where they stand on top of the BigHit building and yell about things that piss them off)
>"3 years ago there is someone who made a huge lie to me…Bang PD-nim”>well known that BTS was originally supposed a hip hop group>says Bang Shit told him “there's no need for choreography, just rhythm will do. You just have to work hard at rap.”>also states that this took place before Suga signed a contract>Suga says he feels “cheated”He’s already talked about his anxiety multiple times and he’s said before that he’s very susceptible to others opinions etc. So literally all he loves is making music, poor family, sick mom,
abusive dad, family generally not at all supportive of his shit, would obviously give up a lot to do what he loves. Perfect candidate for manipulation.
Something I’ve noticed that he says a lot is something like, you have to do the things you don’t want to do in order to do the things that you want to do, or whatever, I forget the exact phrasing but that’s the gist of it. Apparently a very common sentiment in Korea, said in particular to students and young people in shitty environments to essentially justify bad treatment.
Sorry for long post. Will post links to these things if anyone wants them.

>>26553Weather or not he grow up poor, he was definitely worried about money and lack of it when he was ~20.
He's also mentioned when that when he was a trainee, he would frequently buy lottery tickets, which is something a lot of poor people since it's cheap and can give you a decent amount of money in return.
He also said in his trainee days, he tried to hide a shoulder injury he got from a part time job from the company, because he didn't want them to let him go.
His desperation for money, along with BangPD telling him bts was going to be something completely different probably did cause him to be exploited to some degree.

Jin’s character comes a wealthy family (like him) and Suga’s was something like, his character’s grandpa got sick and couldn’t work, so his character and his characters friends “went off to get help.”
So his mom is sick, he’s poor, early on he realizes that he likes music, also realizes that you can make a lot of that sweet cash money making music if you’re good at it, sick mom and poor family will never have to worry, better (in his mind) than getting a boring Samsung job because passion and possibly more room to actually advance in that world than the corporate shtick.

I'm surprised nobody is talking about Yoochun or Hwang Hana here. He is a drug addict who turned his ex fiance into a drug addict again. I don't wanna shit up the thread with 50 screenshots so I'll tl;dr the whole ordeal.
Hwang Hana is Yoochun's ex fiancee who is being investigated for drugs. She says that she started using drugs/meth again because Yoochun kept trying to persuade her and then forced her too. Yoochun held a press conference and denied all claims but police found CCTV footage of him buying drugs. He said he was picking up the package or whatever for Hwang Hana and didn't Know what was inside. He's also being accused of destroying evidence because he bleached his hair and got a body wax.
Then onto top of that, H posted something on Instagram and people think it's about Yoochun. (Pic related) is the most milky part of her post.

But honestly it's not as bad as this thread makes it out to be sometimes. I think J-hope, Jin, and Jungkook have stayed fairly humble, while Suga's arrogance comes from a place of bitterness rather than self-importance.

>>26837I think if they gave a shit they would do more to really push themselves into the market because atm the only things pushing them is their international fanbase and BigHit (who's really doing the pure minimum).
I wish the fanbase took some fucking credit for getting BTS where they are and all these numbers and platforms to half-ass speak on, so they would get recognised by the damn group.

Also well known for blackface.
I remember something in the news awhile back about an Irish teacher being denied a job because the employer thought the Irish were drunk all the time therefore not reliable. (Which entirely ignores the fact the Korea has the highest rate of alcoholics in the world.)

>>26885I think it's cause we usually only see highly edited pictures of idols so when we get to see their actual faces they look waaay different. Ive seen many unedited pictures of idols and i was surprised that many of them are tanner and don't have perfect skin and there's nothing wrong with that; it's just unexpected.
But I agree with you on the Irene thing.

>>26937God this is so depressing to look at.
The difference in styling between older kpop videos and recent ones is so jarring. I think the worst trends are the disgustingly pale skin (which isn't even bad IMO if it's completely natural but it never is) and the circle lenses. Why do idols have to wear lenses 24/7 now? That can't be healthy.
Do you guys think that the trend will circle back to a more "natural" look in the future, or will idols look more and more like freaky plastic aliens?

As an English speaking member who's the older than rosé and lisa I expected Jennie to make things less awkward and help her members out a little, especially jisoo whom she's the closest to. But in English interviews she barely can speaks.
Its just rosé who talks about them and makes sure to include everyone; she's the only one who's making sense when she speaks. That's why every interview is so forced and awkward.
I still low key feel bad for jisoo cause most of the time she has no idea what's going on and can't really participate.
