ayyy thanks for giving me a place to sperg out OP
I've been casually into kpop for a few years now (I liked a few Orange Caramel, 2NE1, and SNSD songs in middle and high school), never really got into it beyond a superficial level (partially because I primarily listen to hard/alt rock but mostly because of the fans, honestly, I met a few too many weird and racist kpop fans and it put me off the whole thing). I've been big into BTS lately though. I liked a few of their songs casually but I didn't actually become a fan until I listened to Yoongi's mixtape. I appreciate how candid he is about his struggles with his mental health in the past and I find his near-arrogance about overcoming it inspiring. Self-love is important but I like thinking of overcoming emotional/mental struggles as kicking my own ass lol and he embodies that, in a way. He just seems like a cool dude lol. It's hard to say who my next favorite member is, I really like all their contributions and personalities.

I follow BTS because they're a bunch a sweet and cute guys. I don't really like most their music thought, but I enjoy watching their MV, dancing, nice outfits, Vlives, etc…
I don't know if it's really a bias but I really like Taehyung of course he is very beautiful but he also seems to have a cool and easy going personality, I'm a bit jealous of his super pretty face lmao.
I'm looking forward to their face yourself album, I still think the title is kinda cringy…

He also just has such a unique, adorable personality. He's in that fine line between retarded and genius which makes him even more interesting.
>>232795Yoonji's mix tape and the songs he produced for BTS like "Tomorrow" is what drew me to them the most. He has that rare sincerity you don't often see in K-pop and his voice while delivering his lines is so…hot and intense? Especially when he goes hard like in his Cypher 4 verse
Jhope's mixtape was pretty neat too, you can definitely see RM's influence (the literary references) and Suga's(the savagery) but he still has his own unique 100% Hobi sound and I love it.

Not gonna mention all the aspects of Kpop I condemn because there's another thread for that, but as another anon said cringey fandoms and petty fanwars have always existed.

>>233242they have a variety show and solo music, plus non-music endeavors, it's pretty reasonable to like them for reasons besides the music they release as a band. I get where you're coming from but you're basically just complaining about people being attracted to generally attractive people lol.
>or are BTS armys just fucking nuts all the timethis is true though lol. I think it's a side-effect of BTS being managed by such a relatively small label. Early BTS fans knew they had to hype the fuck out of them or they'd pass under the radar and that fan culture remained and spread to new fans, despite the fact that they don't need to be hyped anymore. That's just my largely-uninformed hypothesis though.

The worst thing imo is that BTS to me really do seem to be against shit like homophobia, sexism etc. but of course these idiots are never satisfied and have to push all this imaginary and- worst of all- plain racist shit to feel good about their own racism and feel self-important. They even feel the need to bring up shit like the skin color and gender/presumed sexuality of any westerner that interacts with them without it ever being even remotely relevant.
Imagine being incapable of ever seeing anything beyond skin color, gender and sexuality. Must be fucking miserable.

It's interesting how diverse k-pop fans became over the years. But I have to say that k-pop fans were also way more respectful and less cringy back when the community was smaller. I love BTS, but damn ARMYs are so obnoxious compared to how Cassies were back when TVXQ was at their legendary status.. I believe you when you say a lot of ARMYs are literal children. It sucks, because it makes me hesitant to call myself one too. So I feel your pain (even more so since I'm 10 years older).

It's odd. Jin is funny and I like watching his mukbangs, Suga and RM are interesting, talented, funny and lowkey bestboys imo, like the backbone of the group. Jhope is fun to watch when he's not trying too hard, and I wish he'd bring back Hope on The Street. I could watch the boy dance for hours. I guess I don't really have a favourite, OT7 or nothing.
>>252512Ah, another old Cassie teacher here! Wonderful. Who was your favourite in TVXQ?
I do remember fandoms being different too, but not any less cringy or full of fights and drama. Back in the day the biggest fandoms got the same criticism as the bts fandom nowadays. ELFs and Cassies fought as much as armys and exols do now, vips acted as "we're too good for kpop, kings, we rule this" etc as armys do, and sones were as full of dumb young guys and creepy old uncles as onces. The amount of fan content being churned out is massive though, especially on twitter and youtube. But I guess that's because making the content has gotten easier.

Not just his beauty but his entire demeanor, quirkiness and being really adorable and precious in literally everything he does (i think someone upthread described it as him threading the line between genius and retarded? lmao)… He’s been my muse for a long while and I’ve based so many characters off of him.
Also this is weird as hell but it’s like no matter how much sleazy fanservice he does he still seems really innocent and pure- like he doesn’t understand what the stuff he’s doing actually implies? He just seems so… clueless and off-stage he’s as far from all that as you could possibly get. Makes me wonder if he does it just because he thinks that’s how it’s supposed to be and what’s expected of him and just sort of detaches himself whenever he goes on stage? Probably 500% projection but still

I do like kpop and idols but I'm always reluctant to really get into it. So much of the industry revolves around personality and I always worry I'm going to end up putting time and money into someone who could end up being a prick. There's also the fact that it's a one-sided relationship and my bias doesn't even know I exist. It's probably not very healthy.

Also I really like Jin. Yeah he's probably the least talented but I like his attitude a lot, I feel like he's just generally a pretty mature person (and husband material lmao). Also as a college dropout I admire the fact that he was physically attending university while being an idol.
As for other groups, the only other group I've been listening to lately is Stray Kids, and I'd say everyone in their 3RACHA subunit is my bias. Especially Bang Chan.
>>252596there was an anon in the first anti thread who called him disgusting and unlovable because he has disordered eating and it made me feel so bad. it wasn't even on topic lol.

My BTS bias is also Jungkook btw. It's not helping that he's the youngest, but it's hard to choose differently. Suga (who luckily is a far less age gap) is a close second for me, though.

I'll try my best and shoot for a VIP ticket anyway, next friday GOT7 will be playing in Berlin (and that ticket sale was a mess, too.
Is someone else going/ trying to get their hands on a ticket?

What do you think about their tour merch? It's simple enough so I think it's kind of cute (and not too cringy to wear on the street)
No. 255523
>>255473not really, I actually got into when I was older. I spent basically all of my teen years refusing to listen to anything that was seen as "uncool" among my friend group (so I basically only listened to various genres of rock music) and it's nice just listening to fun pop songs now. I mean I still like the bands I used to listen to but I cringe worse at the fact that I used to listen to NOTHING but Queen and Led Zeppelin when I was 15 and thought I was cool for doing so lol. It helps that my obnoxious weeb days are over and I'm self-aware about how cringe a lot of kpop is, so I don't really buy/wear merch or advertise that I like it.
I can't believe BTS is so popular either though, despite liking them. Their success is pretty surreal. The same types of girls who made fun of me for liking Japanese media in high school purely on the grounds that it wasn't in English are now """stanning""" a Korean group lol.

>>255473I still check out those K-netizen translations sites out of boredom, but I'm really not into K-pop as much now as I used to be when I younger. I think I've just outgrown it. I still like the sound of some K-pop songs, but I've really become more jaded by the industry's practices and don't get involved in fandom-related content at all nowadays.
I also cringe looking back about how much I ate up MBLAQ and U-KISS when they were relevant. I thought these boy bands were everything. It is a bit disappointing knowing that both groups are dead now and lots of the members spent years without much to gain from being idols in the end. Hell, GO from MBLAQ is now a full-time streamer and has admitted that he makes more from streaming so far than from his whole time in MBLAQ.

>>255595that’s because they’re the same brand of people. people who obsessively “like” something and others who obsessively hate on it are two sides of the same coin.
i feel like a lot of them are also from fandoms of less successful groups that are bitter over bts being put in a pedestal, armys being insufferable or just going out of their way for the sake of being every bit as obnoxious as the armys they claim to hate so much, or a combination thereof.
also let’s not forget the army vs exo-l feud raging on while bts and exo members are good friends lol

I don't get the rabid hate but it's definitely annoying being constantly reminded of a thing you find grating (though I do get the feeling some of them are bitter fans of other groups). It reminds me of when I was in high school and all my friends LOVED wrestling except for this one friend who just wasn't into it at all and she would get really angry any time we brought it up lol.

>>255631I think he really was forced. For what I know, the company decided to create an idol group in the last minute under the name of BTS, and he, RM and other dudes were expecting a debut under said name but as a rap crew.

No. 255665
>>255663you are wrong here.
I remember they uploaded a lot of covers and self-made songs predebut, the company made them do that as some type of tests to see if they skills were improving or nah, if they didn't you would get dumped anyways since bighit was broke and they would not provide any useless trainee the basics (food, lessons, a shitty apartment), also bighit had already started promoting them as a rap crew, alongside with J-hope and they even did some performances and appared on some tv channel and got overall got responde from the audience.

>>255663>no underground rapper undergoes training lulthat's literally what happened though. unless you mean that he ceased to be "underground" once he signed on as a trainee in which case you're correct lol. they were still going to be a rap group, just not an underground one. kind of like ROCKBOTTOM, most of whom are former trainees but definitely not an idol group.
>>255661>>255665you're right that they were originally a hip-hop group but yoongi had multiple opportunities to leave. iirc he considered leaving a couple times but BigHit wanted him on (probably because they'd sunk a lot of time and money into him already and were hoping it'd pay off) and kept giving him incentives, like paying for his college etc. unless BigHit was literally blackmailing or threatening him he was absolutely not "forced" to do anything. Agreeing to a lifestyle in which you're expected to look a certain way isn't being "forced". Pretty much the only way someone could be "forced" to be an idol is by their parents, and yoongi had already cut himself off from his.

most of them aren’t ugly but somewhat odd-looking, dahyun being the most prominent example. i just don’t understand why people screech about them being such a visual group when most of them are on the lower end of average when it comes to looks among kpop girl groups.

Can I just say how much I adore AKMU?
I'm sad that they are currently unable to make music due to the Chanhyuk being in army.But Suhyun last year did an acting job and currently she is doing youtube, where she talks about diet, makeup, does covers, etc. She always emphasizes health and it was really good to see how she not only talked about her diet for the acting job, but actually filmed herself going to the gym. I think that youtube really fits her, since she is very charismatic and her smile is simply charming.
Plus once I was going through pann-choa posts and some girls posted about her, it seems that there are young girls who look up to her and they really appreciate the fact that she doesn't want double eyelid surgery nor nose surgery (if I'm not wrong she said about this in one interview) and are fascinated by her high self-esteem. It's calming to see that there are people who set a healthy example for younger audience.
https://pann-choa.blogspot.com/2018/01/teens-stories-akmu-suhyun-is-cool-i.htmlIn older interviews Akmu talked about their childhood, it seems that they lived for some time abroad and their family was so poor that both siblings decided to choose home-schooling so they could make it easier financially for their parents.
All in all, I think that they both are very talented, her brother is extra-ordinary songwriter and Suhyun voice is very unique too!
Btw if anyone is interested in Suhyun channel is called MochiPeach, most of the videos has subtitles and the intro is adorable.

I genuinely think she has one of the prettier faces in Red Velvet but I feel like they always give her bad makeup and styling that just doesn’t compliment her features very well. A lot of the time some stylists and makeup artists seem downright incompetent and it’s definitely a thing with most groups.

I think that kpop males are probably the ultimate fakeboi goals. They're like the perfect combination of anime bishounen and cute lesbian that they're all always striving for. They rarely display any typical unsavory male behaviors. They even get paid to act out fans' yaoi fantasies with other cute kpop men, and people praise them for acting feminine or doing girly things like wearing makeup. The gifts that they recieve from their fans are like the ultimate amazon wish list. Also, unlimited attention.
I won't lie though, I genuinely really like the plastic doll/man/woman/baby look that a lot of the kpop men have. They'll definitely look weird as hell when they age though.

>>259780I think it's genuinely bad and painful to listen to just from hearing how shrill their voices are. The girls struggle in general with how high pitched their singles are, and someone thought it was a bright idea to get them to reach child-MJ's key?

No. 259789
>>259780I checked it out and I thought it was just okay. I wouldn't listen to it twice, kek. The vocals weren't strong, and honestly I would expect more from a professional release. The vocals were kinda YouTube cover-tier imo. I don't think the point of Twice is strong vocals though, just cute girls, and they're doing that pretty well! I also automatically have a soft spot for songs where a female vocalist addresses another girl. I get that it's a cover, it's not their choice and they probably have no idea what they're saying anyway, but it makes the song somewhat more enjoyable for me.
I'm not really a kpop listener, but I sometimes listen to things people link here and friends have showed me some songs. From the songs I've heard, the vocals are kind of weak in general. Is not singing very well the norm? Are there some strong vocalists out there?
No. 259841
>>259789I'm not sure how you define "strong" vocalists, but idols' with stronger singing abilities only really exhibit them on variety shows.

There was one competitive show where the entire concept was "hey, let's get cute girls with no prior singing or dancing training or ability and turn them into a group", and honestly, the final group doesn't feel any different from another other girl group when it comes to stage performances.
Plus you have groups with very disparate amounts of singing skills, so the best you can do to equalize the difference is by reducing how much your better singers stand out.
Kpopalypse wrote a bit about the process used to produce and mix vocals in pop:
>Common studio practice for recording girl groups is to get each girl into the studio individually to sing the entire song, and then mix and match the results to fit, also using ghost vocalists where needed. Obviously if all the girls sound more or less the same, this is a benefit, because it means that they can be blended together and substituted for each other easily.

DDDD is a decent successor to Whistle IMO with more 2NE1 inspo but I do agree with anon who said this gen of girl groups is lackluster in comparison. Every lead BP single so far has the same structure of changing the song's flow very significantly during the bridge followed by a chorus lead by music with their voices as accents and they should really stop relying on that exact formula. I'm saying this as a huge BP fan.

>>260250‘ddu’ means black, ‘du’ means black, and ‘du-du’ is korean onomatopoeia for gun shots, hence the gun shot dance gestures and other use of gun imagery. pretty clever, imo.
i loved the scene with jisoo in the pink wig and the men with gun phones. it’s a pretty good jab at netizens who act like good fans when looking at the perfect image of an idol, then turn on them the second they slip up and aim their metaphorical guns (hate) at them while hiding behind anonymity.

What fucks me up the most about his death though, is that during the time he was killing himself, me and my friend were joking around and laughing at SHINee videos, without being aware that one of the members were dying at the very same second.

I think it was in the "Thanks to…" notes in You Never Walk Alone, but J-hope included the other members of BTS in his "Thanks to" and used the weird spelling of their names that kfans use (yoomgi,jwimin,etc.) to keep their fanfic from showing up in search results lol so it's safe to say they've read some fanfic. Also Jae from Day6 found some fanfic about himself on twitter and started contributing to it kek

I don’t think Nancy is ugly by any means but there’s something so odd about her face- it’s like it’s way too small/narrow to fit her face but not in the ‘uwu small face’ way that the Korean ideal is all about but in a way that makes her head look oddly broad by comparison?

There’s this Twitter poll from fifa asking what song they should play at the event and Fake Love is on there. Which is cool I’m all for it, but I saw this post and many alike and stuff like this irks me . How much more recognition do the armys think they need?BTS is already loved and supported by many people and have been promoted around the world so many times. It doesn’t matter if the other song wins? So what if they do play it? The people watching won’t be paying attention to what song they played they’re watching the game or whatever the fuck that event is

i really wish jennie stick to rapping so they stop cutting jisoo’s lines short just to make room for jennie because jisoo is a way better singer while jennie is by far the best rapper of the group. i’d hesitate to even call jennie’s throaty shouting singing. it just sounds like she has trouble breathing and it stresses me out.

>>266859i'm probably biased since i almost only listen to older groups now, but to me the best thing about the old era (anywhere from until 2008 to 2012 depending on who you ask) was the variety shows and similar content. cassies had insane drama back then but the all about dbsk videos and the shows they were on made it easy to become a fan of someone because they gave each member a chance to shine. i feel like these days you hear the same stories on variety shows all the time and idols are more used to talking on things like v app than a tv show. i used to laugh so hard at dbsk varieties when jaejoong would start talking and a manager would step in to stop him because he was ruining the cold image they set for him.
i'm really glad stan twitter and current fan culture wasn't a thing in 2007 though. imagine the tweets from elfs and cassies and the fan wars between wonder girls and snsd. there's STILL very active yunjae shippers fighting online every week.

So, SM just announced three new SMRookies, all of them Chinese. Given NCT China’s debut is supposedly just around the corner, we’ll probably see them debut any second now. It’s obviously just speculation at this point but makes perfect sense.
SM was pushing the whole NCT18 thing with Empathy (since they were 18 members) so I think it’s a little odd they’re adding even more members in 2018 but I guess they need to increase the hype for NCT China so here we are.

https://namu.wiki/w/%EA%B9%9C%EB%91%A5%EC%9D%B4If you put it into google translate, here's what comes up:
> Usually when Koreans write a suffix called -new (-둥이), they write positive meaning such as cuteness and finesse.But the word 'nigger' (or ' nigger ') is an exception. The same is true of the English word "Negro", but in Korean, only the word "nigger" Stupid Let's be careful because certification that there is no liberalism can hit all kinds of bombings that become direct and spit from a vacancy.
> Let's not say that people like black people , Southeast Asia, Southwest Asian people are niggers or niggers. After all, Rover, East Asian and Koreans are not even saying what they say.There is a word for black people, 흑인.
No. 269530
>>269440Here, have a real translation.
"When most Koreans use the -둥이 suffix, it's usually meant for things small and cute, and is used in a positive connotation.But the word '깜둥이'(as well as '검둥이')is an exception.
It is similar to the English word 'Negro', but in Korean, the word 깜둥이 was used to mean people who are stupid or uneducated, so you need to be careful, since saying this in public can get your ass beat.
The reason for this is, the -둥이 suffix is only used for kids, REALLY little kids at that. You are treating them like a 3~4 year old based on their race and skincolor alone. And actually, the word -둥이 , even if it contains a positive connotation("cutie")if used towards mature adults that you aren't even close to, is really just the fucking worst."

I did notice he looked especially good on Chain MV. BUt I was more surprised with Mark & Haechan, damn.
Chain was a terrible song though, I hated the background noises particularly.

Most of NCT dances have some really weird moves that would probably look really bad if only one member is doing them, but I think that's kind of what I like from their dances. They stand out with all the weird shit.

If we're going to talk about bad dances, I really don't like Monsta X's dance for Jealousy. It's not terrible, but I just find some moves weird (shoelace tying part) and hate the styling sooo much.
And for some reason I get annoyed at this part with Hyungwon, it's cringy. If Taeyong really suits pink hair, he's the complete oposite. I really dislike that hair and outfit on him. He was so cute on the Hero mv what happened?

I think from Seventeen CLAP's choreo is the one I dislike the most yeah, I also can't help but compare S.Coups part to Taemin's in MOVE. It feels really stolen, unless it's a known dance and I've never seen it somewhere else.

From his ~official~ SMR pic he looks like Doyoung’s his momma and Kyuhyun’s his daddy so he’d basically be Doe-Eye Jesus if he really looks like that lol.

>but xj has sharper facial features. Guys like him look better athletic/lean rather than super twiggy to me.yeah, i do think xiaojun will look the best lean/toned. i just think hendery would look really cute/pretty as a smol twiggy twink bc he has those doe eyes + his facial features are quite soft, whereas with xiaojun his features are sharp and refined but distinctly masculine.
TL;DR xuxi is a doe-eyed chad, xj looks like a chad in the making and hendery looks like a doe-eyed twink
i want them to debut so bad but we’ve already had the nct 2018 yearbook + the fact that they’ve been pushing the 18 concept so hard so we prob won’t see them debut until next year even though nct china is set to debut this year. :(

I know people have joked about SM idols being clones of each other for years but the little bit of cassiopeia in me that never died melts a bit with NCT. I don't actually always see that much of Jaejoong in Taeyong but there's also Jaehyun literally being called Jung Yunho. Even when I was a diehard cassie I was only at all attracted to Jaejoong, Yunho and Yoochun (no comment now) so being really into so many members of a group is a new feeling. They have some really great dancers and vocalists so I hope they get to show that off well but they really are one of the best groups visually imo

Everyone looked very cute though and that's 80% of what I care about in NCT mvs at the end of the day. I follow them for their personality, looks, and dancing rather than the music. That goes double for dream now.

>>293442i already have an unhealthy obsession with hendery and looking at his predebut/recent pics i’m so damn curious about him ahh
he looks like a different person in every single pic and while the other two have already created a bit of a persona for themselves in my eyes (xj being serious and eloquent; yy being heppy uwu) hendery’s notes and predebut pics clash with how deadpan he’s looked ever since he was revealed and i can’t wait to get to know him

Any #Winwinsupremacists here? TBH I'm not even sure why he's my favorite, I wouldn't say he stands out in terms of talent/looks in the context of NCT or that he's an underrated gem or anything (personally I'm still waiting for Yuta to get his comeup), but something about him is incredibly endearing to me. Also I understand the feel of being in a foreign country and never understanding wtf is going on lol

>>293493oh god yes, Taeyong with glasses. I've never been so obsessed with someone's face before. To me he beats everyone in looks, even new China line; although Xiaojun has a very similar vibe to TY and I'm probably going to love him too.
Does anyone else ever think about their sexual preferences? I kind of hope TY's not gay. I would be happy for him if he was, but it kind of kills my attraction. Like for example, I really like Ten but I'm never attracted to him since I can tell he's gay, same with Winwin although I have my doubts sometimes about him. I hope this doesn't sound bad, I really have no problem with any of them being gay. And in theory you can still fantasize about them if they are, but it kind of ruins it to me. Anyone else feel the same or am I sounding like a huge asshole? Sorry in advance if I am. I would still love all of them, I will always like Taeyong mostly because I just find his stage presence incredible.

Also I agree that WinWin with glasses was top notch. Also in the Chain MV, he should use them more often.

>>293485Winko was my favorite even before I got into NCT. I still consider him one of my biases but Doyoung is my ult.
>>293521I personally love Taeyong but for his personality, I don’t find him the most good-looking. To me Xuxi, Winko, Nana and now Xiaojun are by far the most beautiful members. Jeffrey, Jeno, Renjun and (sometimes) Doyoung and Ten are also up there. I envision Henderson wrecking everyone in terms of visuals too judging by his killer side profile and looking like Ten’s goth sister.
Taeyong looks incredible sometimes but his features sometimes look really odd to me and these members look stunning literally all the time no matter how horrid the styling.

Maybe you can look up amino or some kpop/got7 communities and find someone to swap with!
Jackson is decently popular and I'm sure you would find someone!
Please post which version you got, worst case maybe some farmers can swap!

>>294466Agree, he really reminds me of TY too and he's beautiful, but TY's still best since I love how squarish his face is too.
Xiao has a very V line jaw, he's going to be veeery popular with koreans. I'm more thirsty for Hendery photos right now, his initial photo had me meh, but he looks super good on the other ones.

>>294484I'm curious too. How is this group going to look? Any ideas about vocal/rapper/dancer positions? I don't get rapper vibes from the Rookies, maybe Xiao? That would make comparisons with TY even bigger.
I don't see Ten being in the group. I always got a vibe from him that he prefers solo work, and he suits solo work a lot. Lucas I see as a better fit for 127, he looks a lot older than the other Chinese members. He would stand out so much, since other members are a lot shorter than him.
I imagine vocal Chenle, Renjun, and Kun. Dancer Winwin (hope he gets lines lol) and a rookie (maybe Yang?), and for rapper one or two of the new kids. What do you guys think?

>>294484Isn't Lucas also part Thai? Maybe he'll be added to an NCT Thai with Ten if there is one in the future. Clearly SM is capitalizing on the idea of NCT groups for each country.

How old is Kun? I really feel NCT China will be younger looking members.

>>294491Xiaojun is a vocalist and an amazing one at that. If you prod around a bit you’ll find vids from a Chinese talent show or w/e he went on before he was scouted by SM.
I’m honestly hoping Ten won’t be in this unit; I like him a lot but he’s had a ton of work including solo already and most Chinese members haven’t ever gotten the chance to shine properly.
Not to mention that although he’s ethnically Chinese Ten doesn’t speak the language AFAIK and doesn’t identify with the culture etc. so it makes no sense to put him in that unit. Plus, he wasn’t on the NCT China live which I feel may be a hint as to him not being a member, at least not permanently.

I would be SO surprised if Yang ends up being a rapper. I also have a feeling Ten won't be there, but who knows, I don't really feel he has a group (I know he's U, but he didn't even promote on Boss) so maybe China will be his official group.

>it's nice to be able to talk about them withouth having to act like they are gods or somethingikr it’s so refreshing. i like all members and don’t have any unpopular nct opinions (that i know of) but it’s so much more relaxed when you don’t have that ‘worship or else!!’ stan twt mindset hanging over your head. the overanalyzing everything they do and creating deep philosophical theories about m/vs can also freak me out a little.
secondly
>but when he smiles I just melt so much with adorablenessi want to baby him so much. he might actually be the cutest member to me just bc of all these little quirks like the ones you mentioned and his shyness and eye smile are too adorable for words. he looks so handsome and serious in many pics which draws me in and is just so attractive to me but he’s really the uwuest uwuwuwuwuw. doyoung cannot be blamed.

>>295457When you mentioned that Renjun is feisty I remembered this comic kek
Considering we're open to criticizing members with no backlash, am I the only one that is not attracted to Lucas? I don't know why, he's super handsome and I remember when I saw him on the NCT yearbook I was blown away with how pretty he was. I don't get why so much hype with him. Maybe because he's more manly looking than other idols? More western than korean beauty.
I have the same problem with Yuta, there's something freaky about Yuta's face that I can't pin point and I don't find him attractive. Maybe he would look better with darker hair again, he's been rocking the light hair for a while now and it doesn't suit him.
I think I find members attractive if they have great stage presence. I'm the anon that mentioned was liking Haechan a lot recently, and I don't think he's very good looking (with no styling he would look super average) but he has a certain gaze when he perfoms that I love.
Lastly, I'm in love with Hendery's eyes. The anon that mentioned they like doe eyed twinks got it right, he really fits that description. He reminds me more of TY that Xiao because he also has those big black eyes.

>>295681Damn I take what I said, for being his first performance he's really confident on stage. Still, don't get me wrong he's incredibly attractive, but I'm not crazy about him as so many other fans are.
Also lol at that comparison. I didn't really notice anything freaky about his eyes. I think that I don't like his nose, it's too small and it makes him look like a Ken doll, and not in a good way? Again, he would look better with darker hair. To give him a harsher vibe, light hair is too meh on him.
I wanted to add, I really like Jaehyun but I want to cut his bangs so much. I guess he keeps them since there's so many twitter sites dedicated to him ruffling his hair on that radio show with Johnny. This is harsh, but he has kind of a dumb face sometimes, and the bowl cut doesn't help. He looked so much better on Firetruck era.

>>295715>Yuta's bad plastic surgery is a meme. Yuta looks off because of his horrible chin implant, he got it swapped but he still looks a little weird at timesIt’s a meme and a tragedy. He was a super qt during predebut where he looked like Hansol’s twin and he was never able to fully recover from that awful implant. He looks better and I think he’s handsome but I don’t think he’ll look as good as before that implant again.
>Yangyang is a qt but I don't think he can compete with Hendery and Xiaojun.I think Yangyang will be like Jungwoo, like he’ll look cute but not insanely outstanding and then he’ll have an extremely adorable personality that just radiates and makes him one of the top qts in NCT.
Honestly Junguwu is proof that personality makes all the difference as to just how far up the attractiveness scale a qt can climb. He always looked cute to me but not super beautiful like some other members but then his adorableness comes and BAM instant death by uwu.

I wonder if any of them had plastic surgery. Xiao's jaw is really small so it makes me wonder, but they are also super young so maybe not?

Do they need parental consent for this? If they do, Jisung's parents suck. I got bullied as a teen for my nose since it has a bump, and sometimes I hated it but now that I'm older I would never touch, ever. It's part of my face, I find it sad so many teenagers do surgeries like this. And I'm really intrigued on how much they're pushed to do it and if they want to.

Since we're talking about NCT styling, I hate Taeyong's mullet, it needs to go. He looks so ugly with it. Some people were shitting on Jungwoo's hair too, compared to previous styling. I remember seeing a show and it took me like 10 minutes to realize it was him lol.

Who do you like then? We could talk about other groups, a lot of NCT lately. If you're posting on the General thread I'm guessing you find at least one or two idols attractive.
>>296690I want more crackhead fashion honestly. I always complained about styling being too weird, but this one is looking kind of boring and now I'm missing the skirts and shiny pants. I doubt Jungwoo is wearing a skirt? I don't see why they would bring them back after so much backlash? At least I haven't see one ifan that liked them. Maybe it's like a plaid fabric over pants… don't know. His blouse is really feminine too, what the hell. Are skirts a rite of passage on 127? Lol now that you joined you have to wear this.
Clothes are looking kind of cheap to be honest, all that see through fabric.

To me Loona seems like a cheap knock off of WJSN. Blockberry clearly has too much money on their hands and instead of taking time to come up with an original girl group idea they copy whatever is in atm. It seems like BBC doesn't know what direction they want to go with Loona so they go with the whole over done magic girl pastel 70's schtick. Sure WJSN isn't that original themselves because they got inspiration from EXO but they've developed their own sound pretty fast. Starship and Yuehua have a view for the group which seems to be like Card captor Sakura/clamp stuff.
The Chinese members won't be present in this comeback but they did appear in the promo teaser for the song, I think it's pretty dumb how the fans are like "OMGGG THEY DIDN'T FORGET THE CHINESE MEMBERS! IT SHOWS HOW CLOSE THEY ARE!" It's decided by the company and obviously by not the girls. From a business stand point it's good to include the Chinese members because they are promoting in China.

The neon pink tin should go for all groups, please remove it, they all look awful with it. I don't even follow any fansites on Twitter because I can't stand the selfies idols take, with that white as fuck filter they use. They look so doll like and creepy. And it usually shows how weird contacts look up close.
Jaehyun bangs are still there, they just style them differently for lives and such. I wished he styled them that way always, the bowl cut is terrible.
>I'm really curious about what sound they're going to go for this time. 127 is weird.Have some bad news about that, if this tweet is correct it seems they are going for a "latin trap" vibe. What's with kpop and latin songs? They all sound so bad and out of place. Latin and kpop is like complete opposites, and sorry but koreans can't pull off the sexy latin vibe at all.
I'm only saving some hope since I liked the vibe of Boss and same guy is producing. At least by the asthetics it seems they are going hard instead of soft, and I will take hard any day before that Touch shit.

>>297652I saw on twitter where someone pitched up EXO Kai‘s voice and he sounded almost exactly like Haechan, it‘s all I hear now (and vice versa) lol. He reminds me of Junsu too, that kind of kinda obnoxious tone with a lot of talent behind it. Lee Sooman can‘t keep getting away with it!
And while I‘m at it, I honestly feel like with Jaehyun SM finally got it right - He sounds like a non-annoying Baekhyun who sounds like a less shrill Changmin (love him to death tho) who sounds like a thinner Yoo Young Jin. Really appreciate his deeper voice, I hope they keep working on it.

>>297684agreed about mfal as far as their songs go.
best styling/aesthetic was we young for me. it was so fresh and cute, the uniforms were adorable and the styling was great especially for renjun and jeno, the video was fun and a little artistic, we got vocalist mark, jeno and jisung’s parts made me soft, chenle’s adorkable little smirk… love love love.
we young probably has my favorite choreography too just because of the little things. renjun came up with the ‘wave’ they make at the beginning after they watched moana together, mark and jeno throwing renjun is too cute for words don’t @ me… and so many other little quirks.
i’ve lost count of how many times i’ve watched the moving cam practice vid.

What's going on with Yesung? Is he regressing to having 15 years old? He looks like the emo kid that hates his dad. He clearly doesn't want to accept he's 34 already. I'm not familiar with Super Junior, but in the short time I've seen the members he's clearly the one more self conscious about his looks, you can just tell.

>>298848okay confession time. when i first joined the fandom i was lowkey creeped out by the dream concept because they were so much younger than any other idol group i’d encountered before and their concept was so childlike it felt like straight up pedobait, i was repulsed by the idea that people were going to sexualize them. for that reason i was very tentative about getting into them and avoided their mvs and other content for a while but once i started watching the mvs i was hooked. they're just so adorable and fun to watch and a lot of their music is quite interesting and different from most other kpop acts. we young in particular had an amazing aesthetic imo.
i was also pleased to find that most of the fandom was extremely protective of the dreamies and anyone who tried to sexualize member was immediately lynched.
in particular, i remember one person who got chased off of twitter and a bunch of other nctzens made sure to dig up all her other accounts/the new one she made. she was apparently going to kcon and people talked about finding her and beating her up. it would be pretty awful in any other case but she sexualized a minor and did a bunch of other questionable shit like making gross comments about other dreamies so she had it coming imo.tl;dr our fandom is great so far and i hope it never changes and that everyone continues to be protective of the dreamies.

I really liked him extra skinny like in Boss (which I know it's wrong) and his face was slimer. He's tanner too, so that clashes with his haircolor.
That person above is doing God's work lol, I hate the mullet so so much. I was so excited to see him with another haircut for the comeback, but I'm sure MV was already filmed long ago and he had the yellow mullet.

>>299354It's definitely his weight gain, which is good, just compare his arms to Baby don't stop MV to now. He carries a bit more weight in his face now, is a lot tanner and has a horrible hair color lol. Considering most fans loved his vampire look in Boss all pale and skinny, it clashes a lot now.
I've seen recent fancams of him and he looks the same face wise, no plastic surgery. It's just the sudden difference in weight and styling.
I'm sure during promotion of their new song he'll change his hair and look better. Maybe he's going for a grey or platinum? And they're transitioning his brownish hair to that, hence the weird color he has now since it takes several bleaches to get to that.

I like WJSN but I hate how much starship tries to cram Seola and Bona down everyone's throat. Even though Chengxiao is the most popular and liked member among netizens SS tries so hard to put Bona and Seola in the spotlight by give them more screen time, lines, sub units and center positions. It's irritating af how even when Bona is not singing she's in the middle and on top of that Bona isn't even the main vocal and she gets more lines than the main vocalists. She and Seola pretty much sing the whole song for their new comeback, how is that fair to the other members? Don't even get me started on Seola, her voice isn't even that amazing or special and yet she's the main vocal? wtf?? Even sub vocals like Luda, Yeoreum, Meiqi, Xuanyi and Chengxiao has more interesting voices than her. The forced focus on Seola and Bona has really made me not like them

If you're fans of BTS and want to talk about them go ahead, especially if you're not delulu fans that think they are the best thing ever and above every other kpop group.

>>300131I'm not a big fan of BTS, but I will admit I got into kpop when they started getting big in the US (although I was familiar with kpop before but never got into it). I'm not from US, but the hype still came up on my country. I really liked their MVs, especially Fire and Dope. I remember first dance practice I saw was for Bangsae and it looked so fun and charismatic to me.
That was like only one year ago, so it's weird that my opinion of them shifted so much. I don't hate them at all, but I just feel they lost some of the fun they had on the way, between the short films and the deep concepts. It's kind of sad to me, because they really felt like a fun lovable group, and then they forced themselves to be so serious all the time. I think getting big on North America was really bad for them, and I'm dreading the same happening to NCT.
I'm genuinely curious for real BTS fans, where do you think things went sour? Of course if you still feel they are the same and like their latest music I'm not judging, but I sense the general opinion from anons here is that they really liked their music before and not so much now. So what happened?

i think a combination of them scrambling for purchase in the western market and the increasing insanity of their fanbase is to blame for the change they've gone through in the last year or two. but that isn't the fault of the members… it's their management. they don't have a lot of control over that sort of thing, i imagine.

‘i need u’, ‘run’ and ‘butterfly’ are among the best kpop songs out there imo. ‘fire’, ‘baepsae’ and ‘young forever’ are also pretty lit. i’m not ashamed to say i genuinely enjoy hyyh.
a lot of bad stuff happened in my life when i was still into bts; i was in a strange place mentally so i took a break from kpop and when i got back the fandom had gone batshit. seeing what they had become i realized the music and vibe i enjoyed from them were already in the past. then i got into nct on a complete whim and i haven’t looked back.
>>300135>I think getting big on North America was really bad for them, and I'm dreading the same happening to NCT.i’m so fucking terrified this will happen. i want them to succeed and reach their goals, of course i do, but they’re perfect just the way they are and i don’t want them to risk changing for the worse. the thought of the dreamies getting fans who are as degenerate as some of the worst batches of armys also makes my skin crawl.

>>300135I hope things will go well for NCT, anon. I don't know much about them but the NCT-127 and NCT-U songs I've heard so far were very good and catchy
There are songs from the Wings and Love Yourself eras that I love, but I feel like their music started to become less enjoyable as their music started to become more generic pop & EDM. The rap line is one of their biggest strengths, I enjoy the vocal line's voices as a fan but they aren't very strong vocalists. Becoming more vocal-focused isn't making their music any favor. They are so popular so I don't blame them but I think they are kinda trying too hard to please everyone sometimes, and it makes things superficial. I appreciate the purpose of the Love Yourself era and them using their influence for charity work makes me happy, the albums weren't completely terrible but the songs from this era felt rushed to me. I wish they used the full potential of the theme they were going for.
My favourites from Love Yourself: Answer are Just Dance and Seesaw

I discovered BTS when I was in a weird sad empty time in my life and I used them to fill that hole, I enjoyed songs like tomorrow, butterfly, save me, run, I need u (not afraid to say I get stupidly emotional every time I hear this song). I think for a little while they managed to walk the fine line between singing about emotional / teenage angst and yet not take themselves too seriously, it was just easy music to enjoy about basic sad stuff, performed by cute guys. I can't pinpoint exactly when they lost their charm but they definitely did for me.
I think their concept centered around being young, loving your friend, wanting to be close to them, losing them, trying to grow up, etc… just resonated a lot with me for a while and I was willing to get into it. But I can't really identify with their work anymore. I've also grown up, I guess.
Taehyung pic cause he was definitely my favorite I still find him attractive with his current moonface tbh.
No. 300167
>>300162I remember defending them on Critical thread with the same opinion. It's OK if their music was a little angsty, it's targeted to teenagers! And all teenagers go through that phase. But they had a good blend between that and some fun tracks. I'm in my 20s and I got into them very superficially, like I do with most kpop groups. Meaning I only watched the main tracks, some lives and dance practices. Even if I don't like their latest stuff I still think Fire, Dope, BST and such where really good "performances". In terms of song, dance and presentation.
I think besides not liking their music now, they were releasing so much saaad stuff. It was bumming me out, but then they released Idol and… it was too much all at once. I'm a sucker for visuals, and the visuals where a no for me. Like after so many dark looking MVs they just crammed every color they could think off.
Even if I like one group more than the other and I think they are "more talented" I'm aware that all idols are mostly puppets to a greater "power". The style and presence they have correlates to what their company pushes them to do. And I blame only bighit for their bad tracks, as well as give them credit for their good ones. I love some kpop groups, but I will never give them much credit as "musicians", and that's alright with me. I guess that's why I like NCT, it's just cute guys performing to me, even if I think some are good singer/rappers. I mean, Taeil is a really good singer but what does he have? Like two songs to show for it? Them going to USA and trying to appear as real artists will surely put me off them like BTS did… so I'm hoping they fail to gain attention, even if that sounds awful to some stans.
I think USA should be to blame with what happened to BTS, americans tried to justify over and over again why people liked them because they didn't get it. Fans started to feel pressured to make sense of it and make them into something bigger than what they were. They didn't have to, they were just a fun group, cute talented guys, that was it.

People on the Critical thread REALLY hate Jimin, and they always post the ugliest photos they can find of him lol. I don't think he's ugly, I mean he's just a normal dude; I do agree the contacts look bad on him.
BTS members, like most idols, look better when they are performing, because that's the main appeal of them. It's attractive if they have good stage presence, dance well, etc.
I remember when I saw this fancam of Jimin I though he looked really sexy, even if I don't like him much outside of it.
Styling goes a loooong way with idols. And BTS is going through their worst phase in my opinion. I mostly shit on them regarding that, not them as people or how "ugly" they are. Talent wise I don't really care, if the style and the MV is really good I could care less about the song. I've liked so many kpop songs that I would never listen on my free time because I just love the look of everything else.

>>300188He has the same issues that most idols have, like I've been complaining with NCT. Light hair doesn't suit him, he looks really cute with dark hair and no feminine makeup, etc. When he was more "manly" during that phase where he had abs he had that Bieber vibe, like some muscles but baby faced. I don't think he has a weird face at all, just bad styling most of the time.

>>300191Honestly while J-hope absolutely fucked up his face with plastic surgery. He still has one of my favorite looks in the group (except some pics where he looks uncanny valley, but at times they all sort of do).
In kpop critical, a couple threads back they used to say he looked like somebody's gay aunt. It's pretty accurate imo since the ps made him look more androgynous, and I think I find so appealing about him. When he's style in the right hair and wardrobe he pulls it off well

>>300220I don't think j-hope got THAT much plastic surgery. considering i think his family is rich and his sister looks like a gangnam unnie i think if he got anything done it was early in their career, possibly during predebut. hes plastic, sure, but i find him attractive. i think 50% of that is because of his demeanor, talent with dancing, and stage presence though.
tbh i think the critical thread is really OTT about what idols have surgery, its just as bad as insisting oppa is totally natural. for example, jungooks nose looks the same to me.

>>300135If anything I like their music more now than I did when I first got into them. I got into them during the DOPE era, and it is a catchy song but it didn't make me immediately want to get involved with the group, watching their Bangtan Bombs did that. Looking back at their previous releases, I liked b-side songs more than singles and ones that got music videos. I hate 'I Need U' and the whole storyline of the HYYH series, I just want fun music sung by hot people, I don't care about the story. After DOPE, they released Run, which had cool visuals but the song was meh, I liked the rest of the songs on the album more. I didn't really start liking their main songs until Fire and BST. Even then they still released 'Spring Day' which was another song I didn't care about but it didn't make me dislike BTS. I don't feel like I have to like every song by a group to be a fan and i don't understand fans who feel that way.
their music now is more generic and pop than their older hip-hop influenced stuff and i understand why they are losing some fans, but im glad they changed, could you imagine the drama if they were still releasing tracks like spine-breaker or hip -hop luver? lol

>>300256It’s easy to see surgery when you’re only staring at highly edited concert photos, looking in gifs his nose is still pretty big, not a typical korean plastic surgery nose like namjoon or hoseok

>>300263Yeah even if he had something done (I do agree it looks smaller from before, so I have my doubts) it looks good! I hope he stops there and doesn't consider doing more.
Every time I see a bad nose job I just picture Michael Jackson on my head and it puts me off completely. Especially since most surgeons leave idols with noses that are too small for their faces like MJ had. RM case in point.
He was never going to be the "pretty" idol, I don't get why he did it. It's kind of sad.
At least Jimin which is dubbed so "ugly" by anons kept his flatter nose, as far as I know, and it suits his face. Not all people suit higher noses and I hope he never changes it.

>>300268RM has had atleast two nose jobs, one either predebut or early debut and another within the last year, which they said he was getting surgery for a “deviated septum” but that’s just codeword for nosejob. namjoon has always been on a lot of netizens “ugliest male idols” lists, maybe that’s gotten to him? he’s not conventionally attractive at all but he’s not ugly.

Lol wth I never knew he had nipple rings. That's pretty kinky for an idol.
I like Seventeen! It would be nice to talk about them since there's so much NCT and BTS talk.
I think they are the only group that I feel work with so many members. I never feel things are crowded since their choreos are soo good and their transitions done so well.
Compared to NCT's Black on Black that I find kind of embarrasing,half of the time most members are in the back standing awkwardly…
I like performance unit the most. The first person I was drawn to was Jun, especially on the Highlight video with his close ups. He's really good at… gazing lol.

>>300290I wanted to discuss that but I was worried it was like JK's nose. That maybe the jaw wasn't as bad and I only hated the latest photos from their fake love concept ones (you know which ones, crimped hair and all) and they could had been overly edited. I didn't want to shit on the guy unnecessarily.
Besides the ps it's obvious he looks off since he's so skinny lately. I'm worried for the dude, and also kind of disappointed. When I got into them I pegged him as the least likely to get sucked into crazy korean beauty standards. Guess I was wrong…
Still, I searched for a latest photo of him and he looks better than those weird fake love ones. I still liked his older jaw, but he's still not on the level of Wendy's terrible jaw shave.
I think it's mostly that he went full flower boy and it clashes SO much with his previous persona.

>>300296You can at least give the guy "not ugly" status, it's not like anon said he was attractive lol. There's uglier people in the world come on.
I don't like RM, but before his ps I would not cross him on the street and think "what an ugly dude". With his latest nose I do find him off putting though, like Yuta from NCT.
I've seen girls crush over uglier dudes, so RM apologists don't faze me.

>>300295Hmmm maybe. I've been avoided looking at him since those terrible Fake love photos. And your right about his new flower boy shtick clashing with his old persona, hopefully it won't last long and he'll go back to his old one.
The cold tsundere persona was perfect for him honestly, and made sense with him being open about his struggle with mental illness.

Talking about "ugly" idols. I'm shocked Chen is in so many lists I've seen online. He's not my favorite from EXO, but I don't see him as ugly at all. He doesn't even look plastic like other "attractive" idols, for example Rowoon from SF9 which I find soo creepy looking.
I really like his little mouth corners, don't know what they are called. I wished I had that and didn't have such a bitch resting face lol

>>300290>>300295I worry about Suga. He comes across as the most genuine out of all of them, and it's clear that he has issues. His weight is especially troubling. It's been spoken about in the other thread, but yeah, he's skin and bones.
Though his solo stuff isn't what I'm typically into, I loved the MVs. He can sound arrogant and edgy, sure, but he did have a rough time before debut and I believe his lyrics re: mental health come from a real place due to how he acts and what he says on camera. Who knows, it could be that I'm being deceived by a fake personality, but… I like him nonetheless.
No. 300308
>>300304He looked so bad during the billboard music awards a couple months ago. Not only was he thinner than he had been in awhile, if not the thinnest he's ever been, but he also look so emotionally drained and super despondent in all their interview.
In one of his songs on his mixtape he talks about having a social phobia, which isn't something that goes away, you just learn to cope and manage it. Maybe their recent skyrocket in fame is getting to him.

Random Jinyoung appreciation. I was watching some videos of him and god he's so handsome.
He's like the ultimate idol to me. He's pretty but manly, looks super natural (even if he had ps, no idea), not too thin and I LOVE that he sticks to the dark hair and doesn't look like the typical ever changing idol with dangly earrings and pastel hair color. He has a classic look.
I noticed people talking about Jackson on the Critical thread, about his ps. I didn't really look at him lately but they are right, he's looking real plastic now. Such a shame.

>>300311so like maybe 1-2 years ago his nose first changed a little, it looked like maybe he just had bridge injections, what people call a "non-surgical nose job" to straighten his nose.(plus injections pretty much everywhere else). In this pic his nose looks practically the same except the bridge.
I think the biggest reason he looks so different now (besides injections) is 1. the styling and 2. he never smiles anymore or makes any expression at all really
No. 300328
>>300296it’s my opinion and i find him attractive for reasons beyond his appearance, i never said i have good taste. for example
>>300310 i think jinyoung isn’t cute at all, he’s not ugly but I’m not into him like that. i like that kpop dudes dye their hair or experiment with fashion, it’s fun. sometimes it looks bad, like creepy contacts or ugly hairstyles, but classic =\= better in my book, but it all comes down to personal taste.
also maybe it’s because i don’t care for yoongi but i don’t notice the surgery anons keep pointing out that he’s had. he’s skinny but he’s always been skinny throughout their eras, as opposed to jimin who is clearly a lot thinner than he was back in the day. tbh i don’t get his appeal in general, it’s weird seeing anons in the kpop critical thread praise him in the same breath they call namjoon or jimin ugly

>>300303I think he looks amazing sometimes but like many others he tends to suffer wrongly bc of shit styling.
The only genuinely ugly EXO member is pic related, D.O.
Although I will admit he’s among the most solid meme providers in Kpop. Xiumin isn’t ugly but looks painfully average next to the others. Meanwhile Jongdae has some killer features imo; plus the corners of his mouth peeking up slightly are super cute. He reminds me of a happy dog. Chingu line indeed lol.

>>300520Is that his dog? So cute! Are there any idols with bigger dogs? They all have this shit small dogs that I find so ugly lol the kind of dogs that in my country only little old ladies have. I don't think I've seen an idol with a big dog. I guess it's because they can't fit on the dorm?
Those mouth corners are so cute, I don't see them often on people. A lot of gangnam unnies get them surgically done, but it looks so bad. Spoiler just because it's not kpop related. I really want a thread for gangnam unnies, that's lolcow material.
>>300519I don't think D.O. is ugly, but he's more average looking than other idols. He's on a drama now, and he looks so out of place lol. I will say that he's more attractive when he doesn't smile; he also gets the short end of the stick when it comes to styling like Chen.
He's cute sometimes though, I'll give him that.
And I really liked his shaved head, it was different.

>>300534Yeah, maybe I was a little harsh calling him ugly. I don’t dislike him. It’s just that in a group like EXO that’s so heavy on visuals and is basically considered the top visual boy group of their generation, an average-looking member becomes homely by comparison.
It becomes particularly jarring when he’s so often juxtaposed with Kai because of #KaiSoo. I will admit pic related is really fucking cute tho lol
but not bc of ksoo’s visuals lbr No. 300649
>>300534I know Yunho used to have a husky, think he gave him away a while ago though. V's family has a big dog as well I think? I'd rather not have idols have dogs, especially big dogs, though, their life style and the way koreans/asians tend to raise dogs isn't ideal.
>>300582>no chemistry and that they are not as friendly with each other as other groupsThat's funny that people think that because I felt that they are MILES more entertaining and charismatic than EXO were when they debuted. I think the issue is is that SM isn't forcing them on variety shows as much as they could/should and non-stans only hear "18 guys" and tune out. SM is trying it with Lucas now but I honestly don't understand why only Mark/Taeyong/Jaehyun/Johnny and maybe Jisung/Ten get the bulk of their promos - I don't think that those should get less promotions but how are you gonna have 18 members and only actively promote 4 of them? I wish SM would be more obnoxious about NCT (I know that a lot of kpop stans on the internet are already complaining about them as is but I don't care, I want them to go full on Suju variety-wise LOL) because with so many members there's soooo many possibilities!
