Aw I love this. I always loved Ellin the most out of Crayon Pop. Its good to see not only a Korean girl, but a kpop idol be so frank and eager to learn about sex toys and stuff since thats still so taboo over there.
I still think Rose resembles her a lot and it makes me miss her and wish she would come back to the industry, but seeing her instagram and videos it looks like shes probably happy just living her best free life.

>>27108The artist himself doesn’t even consider it plagiarism so this milk is boring. It’s an homage according to them. Personally, I don’t really see it except for the long table with the white table cloth? But long tables and white table cloths are pretty fucking common i.e. pic related
As for the Young Forever summer camp fire photo…I can see the similarities but I also have pictures of myself standing around campfires in shorts waving fiery sticks as a kid.
The third photo of them walking in a line…i don’t see it. Horizontal line with an equal divide between is just a common photography trick for a good photo imo but okay.
I think it’s pretty weak. Definitely not plagiarism, even the photographer says so.
From the photographer:
>An article released Monday 25.02 in the Korean newspaper Hankyore incorrectly stated that I was accusing the K-Pop band BTS of plagiarism. I discovered BTS album “The Most Beautiful Moment of Life: Young Forever” long after it was published, and I felt a common inspiration with my pastseries of photographs ‘Summer Camp.’
>In an interview with a journalist from Hankyore about my current exhibition in Seoul, I answered about this feeling and made absolutely clear that I was considering a possible inspiration from my work as a tribute, and certainly not as plagiarism or copyright infringement.>I love BTS, this album is beautiful, I feel honored to know that 40 years later, my photographs still inspire other artists.

Even in this extended interview in which they are more comfortable, Blackpink members come off as not sharing their genuine personalities or just lacking personality/ability to express it. If they could assert a few opinions or be a little daring in some things they say, they would draw more interest.

Blockberry must spend more on a photoshop team than anything else. I've seen people post their promo pictures in the more positive idol threads before talking about how cute they are, but Loona look nothing like those photos. Loona and their fans are the worst in kpop for me. They have just about everything this thread talks about. They're incredibly skinny, overhyped talent, botched surgeries, dumb obsessive fans, getting praised for being uwu equality queens for doing nothing, the company panders hard to make sure they get international recognition. It's amazing that they only come up for a couple of the worst stan tweets or for occasional mentioned of the busted Tomochin
>>27166the pattern I noticed with Twice that stood out for me was that title tracks about love have to either be about having a crush on a boy, wanting to be in a relationship but not being in one yet, or about just starting one. Even when it's not as pedobaity, it really feels like they're targeted to make sure their fans definitely don't think the members are really dating and fans can project that it's them who the girls want to date

Anyway does anyone find it surprising how Seulgi’s praised for her looks by Korean fans? She has features that aren’t considered conventionally attractive by Korean standards (wide face with big jaw, small monolid eyes, slightly hooked nose) yet I don’t typically see her put in the realm of JooE, Umji, Hwasa and so on. I would suggest that it’s because she’s from a bigger company, but Wendy’s looks get shit on all of the time even though I feel like Wendy’s new face falls in line with conventional Korean beauty standards more.

I wanted to know who these people were so that's how it started. I wasn't in a good place at that time so the colorful music videos, the upbeat songs and the variety shows were a really good distraction to me. I never really stanned a group though.
But I think many people get so absorbed into the kpop world because of similar reasons. (I'm not talking about the crazy kids who think they can marry their oppa one day)

>>27443My story is basically same as yours anon.
I was around 14 when I discovered K-pop (also SNSD's Gee lol) and I couldn't really relate to my country's pop songs since most of them were super erotic, based around sex, lust, partying etc.
I was a weeb and I also knew about AKB48, but their songs felt too childish (also creepy pedo factor) while SNSD's Gee was cute but also ""mature"" enough for a 14 year old. Even the sexy k-pop concepts that I discovered later didn't feel that erotic, at least not compared to western pop.
I never became a group stan either, would just have favorite songs instead. When I got out of high school, my interest in k-pop mostly died as all new songs and groups started to feel stale and not original at all.
(don't get me wrong, nowadays I don't think western pop is worse than k-pop, but when I was still a tween I couldn't get into it as it felt too sexual)
No. 27450
>>27443There’s an illusion of closeness that it cultivates. They give you sense that they could be your friend, in a way.
Like, watching someone you think is funny/cute/whatever sit around and joke and eat with their friends, in a similar way that you might gives a sense of belonging. Other types of music, like western pop music, feels cold and impersonal in comparison. Kpop is also very, very aware of their audience and they pander and push that I’m your friend/boyfriend/girlfriend narrative at every turn. It’s like, “maybe I can be part of something instead of being an extremely depressed and isolated 13 year old in a very unfortunate situation.”
Fandoms play a very important role in this. Why do you think they give their fans cutesy names? Once again, to foster closeness between fans and idols, fans and other fans, fans and the outside world. One thing that every person has in common is loneliness and the need to be part of something.
I haven’t touched on cultural things within Korea and other stuff but in short, it’s deliberate psychological manipulation.

So these guys joined a random kpop dance held in new york, and I saw a lot of sea fans upset seeing how they interact with their western fans. I understand their disappointment tbh. They were saying that in sea countries they aren't even allowed to get near the idols or talk to them or give them anything, yet over there in America they're dancing with fans, taking fanletters and whatnot. The difference in the way they treat the fans is disgusting honestly

>>27443I was a weeb for j-pop, rather than anime, but like a lot of people I didnt like the wota-pandering direction j-pop took and, imo, the quality of the music declined a lot and became formulaic. Obviously I knew of BoA and liked some of her songs.
With Western music I liked Motown, the 90s R&B girlgroups like SWV, Brownstone and Jade, tATu, and the groups from my country like Sugababes and the 411. I didn't have a problem with hypersexual artists like tATu, Xtina or Vanity 6 but stuff coming out like the Disney tween acts, Danity Kane, Little Mix and Fifth Harmony really overtly turned me off. The music, vocals and visuals didnt really appeal to me and it just felt too pick me, male-centred bimbo and vapid without having an edge.
The first k-pop I was exposed to (like The Grace and Rain) I didn't think was very good. I really got into k-pop though 2NE1 who for the first three years had a distinct vibe, sound and look compared with Western and Japanese music. It was really cool to me that aside from Dara none of them were conventionally pretty, they were more fierce and it was in sync with their sound, or at least it was at first until they turned into proto-Blackpink…
Then I found KARA, T-ARA, (f)x, After School, 4minute and SISTAR. I liked the sonic and aesthetic diversity on offer. The music was extremely catchy without being smothered in layers of excessive vocals and had a lot of elements like modulations I found appealing that have disappeared from Western pop. And a lot of songs like Gee, WANNA, Muzik and A went pretty hard for pop songs (I like hard rock and hardcore rap).
I was never ever a fan of any boy group (so much warbling and the song structure does not appeal) or ballad group though. Nor did I watch the reality or variety shows or whatever. I remember my friend crying their eyes out about Sunny killing a chicken and I didn't understand why she was on such a show. That kinda turned me off the 'fan' side.

>>27443Got into K-pop as an Asian tween in a Western country. There’s not a whole lot of representation of Asians as attractive entertainers in most media outside of Asian countries. K-pop’s filled with them so I think that was one reason that caught my attention.
Another one would have to do with the images idols themselves put on. You often see them talk about how hard they work/how much time they spend to perform, how much they care about their fans, and how relatively “clean” their images compared to other countries’ entertainers—even though it’s really just all a farce/act to get your money.
Korean male idols also are styled to resemble anime characters. I was already a weeb for some time and the transition to getting interested in K-pop was somewhat smooth in that sense. Not really into K-pop anymore aside from the milky content it can produce but those are my reasons as to why K-pop manages to appeal to certain people.

Thats why it was so funny when she got her own taste of karma and got kicked from the group.

Now that I’ve thought more about it, being an idol/trainee really comes with so much risk and such little chance at reward. Imagine spending your teens and twenties just focused on training without the guarunteed chance of debuting. Putting all of that time practicing to the bone and dealing with industry predators for years and you might not even ever become a star. Then you’re in your late twenties with few transferrable skills along with debt weighing down on you. No wonder you hear reports of some trainees who failed to debut committing suicide.

You can really tell their new stylist is Blackpink's old one, though, with those outfits seemingly off the rack and being uncoordinated. Their old outfits were hit or miss, but it was cool having outfits specifically made for them that had elements and patterns that looked cohesive as a whole.

I doubt only i-fans are ripping apart idols for having weird plastic faces. What do koreans think of the ps in kpop? Do they wish to look like that or are equally disgusted as anons here?
Trends are usually replaced by opposite ones. Which is why I'm happy about the 90s look coming back, can't wait for the kardashian makeup and butt implants to go away.

>>27735Zico is such a sleazebag. Some other Block B members are as well. If any female idol did even half of the controversial shit he’s done, she wouldn’t have a career anymore.
Seriously. fans should also realize that the vague pseudo-feminist girl crush concepts as well as the “woke” songs that BTS and Stray Kidz like to parade around are probably produced entirely by money-hungry, power-tripping male predators at the end of the day. All of that money spent on physical merchandise and ticket sales go towards funding these getaways that enable them to commit more of these atrocities.

https://chienna.wordpress.com/2012/02/25/summary-block-bs-thai-scandal/"What disturbed most viewers and fans though was Block B’s somewhat insouciant attitude towards
victims of the Thailand floods. When this topic was raised, the leader Zico said: ‘With this monetary aid, we hope that you will feel better. The only thing we have is money.’ However, when he was asked how much money he had, he replied: ‘About 7000 won‘, causing the other members to erupt in laughter. 7000 won is equivalent to around US $6."
afaik the seolhyun scandal is that they were caught dating, hardly scandalous but this is kpop soo

Okay, sage cause here comes some unpopular opinions (at least in this thread)
>Momo is the cutest looking one in TWICEI don't know why people talk so much shit about her looks? She doesn't even look botched to me, at all.
Granted, Tzuyu is the prettiest one (and has the best body as well), but Momo is very cute imo. I especially like her eyes and smile, and she looked the best in the short black hair (with volume) and yellow dress for the LALA Land scene, pic related. I guess because she doesn't look pedobait, and more like her age.
But she can't sing for fucking shit though, she should have only some spoken adlibs and catchphrases in each song and focus on dancing only lmao
>Jeongyeon looks better with longer hairI mean, sorta. I think she looks the best with shoulder lenght hair (also pic related), but I am glad to see her in longer hair and I really don't think she looks as bad as some anons are making it to be.
And although she's not looking the absolutely best, it's still miles better than the coconut hairstyle she sported sometimes to fit the whole "JY oppa uWu she groped every girl in twice lezbian qween!", that she also seemed to hate. So at least I believe she'll be more comfortable with this longer hair.
As for the Fancy song itself…
>>27628Some anons are saying it's the same TWICE formula but with black dresses. I agree and disagree at the same time?
I mean, they are basically the same, making cutesy faces and singing high pitched (Except maybe JY, Mina and Jihyo?), but you can't say the song it the same "recycled Ooh-Ah" cutesy style. It's not super duper mature, but it's better than their usual stuff.
With a few tweeks and lowering the vocals, this could be sold as a boy group song, and "Yes or Yes" couldn't. The sound of the song itself is just too childish.
So yeah, a bit of column A and a bit of column B. I like this better than What is Love, Yes or Yes, Dance the Night Away and any of their japanese songs, that are always shit.
Sorry about the long ass post.

But I wasn't talking about her personality anyway, I was talking about looks only, cause I know every single one of their personalities are fake and manufactured to sell products to thirsty korean and japanese dudes.

>>27778I was giving my opinion on the song, as well. Also, so many comments about "this girl looks like shit with this hair", I guess I could say the opposite as well? I don't believe it's only critical when you nitpick an idol to death, people can be more nuanced.
>>27782It's the idol industry. Both Sana and Momo are masters of doing it because I truly believe Japan is the best at making pedobait idols. They truly are at home doing this kind of stuff, and would also explain why japanese idols are usually popular despite Japan's and Korea's tension.

problematic as shit yet nobody says anything directly bc kpop fan culture is

But it's also worth mentioning that albeit most of their fan are teenage girls, the ones putting real money on TWICE's table are japanese dudes with money and otaku mentalities, like they choose one waifu (usually a japanese one because, hey - it fits their fantasies better because they can communicate and bond over Japan and stuff) just as if they were anime character and drop a lot of money. Yes, there is TWICE gatcha machines in Japan that a lot of teenagers like, but that doesn't make enough money, so they're no the

Some of you are really new to kpop and it shows. Not trying to be elitist but it's not hard to find summaries on past scandals and to gauge the 1st and 2nd generation of kpop's groups and their impacts.
Whenever I see a BLINK trying to say how incredibly successful and revolutionary BP is, I automatically know that they are either A) aware of 2NE1's impact and lying to themselves or B) a new 3rd gen fan and know nothing of the 2NE1's impact in the 2nd gen. I'm sure former fans of SNSD, TVXQ, and BB (unfortunately) feel the same.
You don't even have to listen to groups like SNSD, 2NE1, TVXQ and maybe a few other older groups to know that their songs were largely influential in not only the kpop scene but also among the GP. Youtube views don't mean shit. Album sales don't mean shit. Streaming at this point doesn't mean shit either. NCT is a fucking joke, sorry to all of you NCT dweebs in here that have no respect for yourselves. BP's 3 year career is still a failure compared to 2NE1's debut album. Red Velvet is forgettable, even compared to f(x) the group that already had one foot in the grave at debut, and still managed to be more popular than RV when SM decided to give them a chance.
Twice I'm not going to speak on since they're actually popular among the general public but almost in the same way as SNSD where Hyoyeon and Sooyoung were regarded as the ugly ones–replace them with Jungyeon and Jihyo or Chaeyoung. They're basically SNSD if SNSD never left Gee and Oh! era and also if SNSD didn't have a single decent vocalist.
Anyway, these are just my thoughts. I'm not even a 3rd generation fan of any group after my kpop phase died but you all are wasting your time being a fan of any of these groups. They will all inevitably get fucked over by their companies, go one-by-one to the military if they're male, or put out a shitty song which you'll be forced to 'like' or else you'll be cast out of the 'fandom' if you voice any other opinion than blind ignorance.

She's definitely going for that mature image as she's aging and she knows that f(x) is done for good, so there's no reason for her to go for the cutesy image anymore. She might as well prepare for a more promising career/future by changing her image. If anything, good for her.

>>28349That's how I feel like it is with most third generation idols. They're styled a lot younger and they look a lot younger. Even the supposedly "edgy" idols like BP are infantized (sideyes at jennie's weird lolibait bs) and most other girlcrush concept groups are a lot trendier and younger looking than their predecessors, who were styled in more mature, wacky fashion and wore far heavier makeup? Maybe it's just a generational shift but there is this inclination towards SK trying to make idols (and lets not kid ourselves, the male ones too, look at that fucking TXT MV) look more childish.
And as time goes by they keep trying to make them look younger… and younger… and many of the older 3rd gen groups are fully grown adults by this point.
TWICE were styled the most "adult" during Like Ooh Ahh and Sixteen, ironically when half of them were underage.

Arin was only 15 when she debuted and was 16 and 17 when Hani started sperging about how she was her ideal type. There's loads of instances of older female idols being really sweet with underage idols without ever having to call them their ideal types or anything, it's just a bit weird that she uses specific phrases like that. Hani just seems like she thinks being quirky and not understanding boundaries is cute and she applies that to talking about teenage girls as well as burping to be unique. Would be less weird if fans didn't use it as a reason to love lesbian queen Hani

That are probably some mass streamers because of course there is, but they also have legit views to back them up. Good thing that JYP now learned his lane, and doesn't try to make stupid ~international~ promotions outside of Asia.
>>28413Isn't Lisa the main dancer? I always though she was the main vocalist, Jennie was the main rapper, Lisa the main dancer and Jisoo… was also there. The visual, I guess.
>the only gg that look like tehir age is red velvet and even that's debatable…That's why RV is so popular with women. And I mean women, not teens. Same goes for Mamamoo.
And I think this is also the reason why Yeri is the least popular from RV (aside from lack of talent and charisma), she's just too young compared to the others and is usually the most infantilised. I think SM is trying to change that a bit, but she's a hack nonetheless.
also why power up wasn't as big as bad boy and peakaboo, although still pretty bigCrazy, it's almost like women prefer looking at entertainers that reflect themselves? Idealised, yes, but at least more adult-like.
But hey, women don't make as much money and more importantly - don't
drop as much money as these uncle fans, so unclebait k-pop is probably not going to leave soon.
Side note: I do believe that was also the reason SNSD was so popular with women as well. I know SNSD was also immensely popular with men; with makes me wonder if, with the rise of wota virgins, the market shifted to more "pure", "girl-next-door", non-threatning looking waifu idols.

Anyone remember that time Jihyo made a dig at having darker skin and Tzuyu called her out on her shit? It's weird looking back since Jihyo got a tan and started getting more praise for her looks than she ever had because of it kek

>>28525Apparently it's a real surname similar to: Buening, Huenink, Dunning, Piening, Durning, Guenin, Duensing. According to the site though, it's a very rare surname with the origin traced back to a city in the USA.
However, Idk how real his dad's name is since he has no connection to Wisconsin (he used to live in Texas) and is Brazilian. So idk how he got that surname unless he had it changed. The name kinda sounds chinese too (许宁), and it makes sense for him to want a chinese-sounding name since he's a huge chinaboo (who actually made it big in china, the equivalent of englishkoreanman and the likes in modern days). That's just my theory and I could be wrong. If he and his son arent public figures, I'd think of them as catfishes cause of the edgy ethnic backgrounds combination and shit (not that it's impossible though).

http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2019/04/sakura-reveals-she-sleeps-with-her-eyes.htmlUm, wtf
1. [+830, -72] Isn't that a side effect from double eyelid surgery..? She did get her eyes done before
2. [+819, -76] That's a side effect of double eyelid surgery ㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+343, -48] There really are some people who sleep with their eyes open ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+33, -13] I don't think I've seen anyone who sleeps with their eyes open when they haven't had surgery
5. [+31, -4] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's a side effect of double eyelid surgery. There's not enough eyelid skin left after the surgery so the eye doesn't close all the way.

https://www.twitter.com/JiminInPics/status/1121404576803033088what the fuck are bts' staff doing? they can't touch fans like that. it's borderline creepy.
also the fact that armys are still going "omg our bawby finally said that it's okay to call him oppa!!!" over this grown man is so cringy. shame on jungkook for fueling this baby shit.
