The fandoms are weird as shit and creep out my Korean friends so no one talks about kpop in my group

I can't speak about this anywhere else thanks op lmao

>Who's your favorite band? Who's your bias?

It used to be DBSK in 2008 (Jaejong was my bias), lost interest in K-pop for years and recently got into it again because of BTS. It's very hard to pick a bias with them, they're all talented and genuine, but I guess Taehyung?

>What do you think of the weird kpop fandoms that are popping up and the crazy fans that come with them?

they're nothing new, they've been around since the first Hallyu wave

>Any comebacks you're looking forward to?

bts's Face Yourself album, I'm interested in how they'll discuss the darker aspects of self love.

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.

Me too, and I can't believe I'm actually jealous of a whole grown ass man but I have never seen a more ethereal looking person. 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.

>>232795
Yoonji'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.

I'm kind of the same way. Aside from the Cyphers and the rap line's mixtapes I barely listen to their music, I like them as personalities more than anything and enjoy stuff like Run BTS! more than their music (for the most part).

>>232809

That was the big draw-in for me as well, along with their honesty, chemistry, generosity, talent and genuine passion for music. I really can't pick a favourite member, they all have something.

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.

they 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 time
this 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.

Armys can be tiring and imbecilic to the core. But BTS themselves are just seven guys who do stuff and are, seemingly, actually nice people and get along well. Their really young obsessive fandom sucks, but that’s no reason to rag on the group, they can’t control that.

I feel so dumb saying this but big bang flower road hit me really hard when it came out. And I'm not sure if it's because he has to serve his time and that they will be taking a break or what.

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.

He awkward looking when they debuted, but he grew up to be so handsome, I think bighit is pushing him to have a cooler persona to fit the pretty but arrogant trope. Jin is supposed to be BTS's visual but I think they're giving this role to V now and they want him to act the part (Jin was also asked to act cool and cold when BTS debuted).

I wouldn't feel too bad as long as you aren't obnoxious about being a kpop fan and just treat it like any other interest. Plus BTS seems to attract a lot of older fans, especially because of songs like Spring Day.

yeah same same i knew about 2ne1 and Girl's G back then but didn't get really into it until recently. I'm glad i found the anti-kpop thread to stop me from becoming an obnoxious fan.

Songs like Moving on, Spring day, Pied Piper and 134340 or just their visuals/videos are what keep me stuck in the bts/kpop world

Idk if ashamed is the right word but I feel guilty because I find Jeno from NCT Dream really, really attractive despite the fact he’s a literal baby who just turned 18. The Dreamies especially have this cutesy childlike theme going too which kind of makes it worse imo. It’s obviously nothing I would ever act upon and I do think he looks older than the rest of Dream but it still makes me feel iffy.

I feel especially weird because Doyoung is basically his mom and me and DY are the same age (96-liners)

24. BTS is coming to Germany in October and my boyfriend has expressed interest in going because he’s interested in their hip hop/EDM stuff. I’ll admit to showing it to him because I really liked Spring Day’s video.

I'm 28, so I guess I win for now lol.

But in my defense, I liked k-pop since I was around 13 years old. Bless BoA. This was actually a new song when I got into it.

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 also weird when you're a teacher like me, and your students like the same k-pop groups.

i guess it makes sense anon, since the fanbases are so much larger now. the larger they are, the more assholes are gonna be, so the assholes are gonna be more visible. plus BTS fans are the largely the same flavour as 1D fans from 4 years ago: young, immature, and way too defensive of their idols, whom they hero-worship. it's not a good recipe. but just like any other fandom, there are chill fans, they just tend to be quieter and therefore get less of the press.

i also love BTS, but i would never call myself an army lol.

I guess the ones I liked first were typical babby's first bias choice when it comes to BTS: V and JK, they just always catch my attention first in pics and videos. I just love me some mentally challenged hot boys, I guess. But Jimin's personality and demeanour have to be my favourite though, and for some reason I have dreams where he pops up for a few seconds? 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.
>>252512
Ah, 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.

I'm indifferent to most of the BTS members, but I honestly like Jimin. His voice and face both seem to be pretty hit or miss with most people, but I think both are cute. His slim body is nice too. I also like that he at least pretends to be modest and doesn't act arrogant on camera.

I’ve been on a break from BTS and the fandom for a while but my bias since day 1 was Tae and he remains on top. Beyond how insanely pretty he is and how soothing his voice is (when he’s not growling or screaming lol) there is just something so… ethereal about him? 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.

Yoongi's mixtape was what got me into BTS so I'd say he's my bias but I like JK a lot too, I feel like I can relate to him because he's my age and shares a lot of my interests (video games, music prod., video editing and filmmaking etc.) 10/10 would hang out with.

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.

I’m also really enjoying the vibe from this new group (G)Idol. They’re filling the hole left by BlackPink because they haven’t had a comeback in so long, one of the members of this group was actually a trainee at YG for 5 years and was supposed to be in BlackPink but apparently got kicked out because she was secretly dating someone. That’s fucked up

Nice! My bias was/still is Yunho. I haven't seen much drama from the comms I was in, but surely not everyone was innocent. I agree with you and >>252517 that it's because of the size of the fanbases, especially the western ones, so more obnoxious western fans at least. And just social media/youtube in general. Back in the days TVXQ was popular, youtube wasn't as mainstream as it is now, hence less k-pop spammers in the comment sections.
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.

Unpopular opinion but I also think jhope is cute/sexy, even if he isn't the most photogenic at times - that's something I definitely relate to myself. I don't think it has anything to do with his fame. Pretty sure if he was a regular dude I worked with or something I'd still feel the same.

Boygroups are inconsequential to my kpop experience. Sure there's a few songs here or there that I like, but I basically only click with girl groups or soloists.

Yeah he looks so thin and his rap feels so out of energy too. I'm guessing the Suran scandal must have somrthing to do with that partially.
Also, I might be biased since I dislike the new album, it seems he's much more excited about songs that are more agressive or more leaning to hip hop an this Come Back is like almost the oposite of that. There's not really a song that "feels more Suga" this time.
I hate this because I really likehis stuff when he actually puts in some effort.

I've noticed Suga is smiling more often and it's hard to read. Whether he's genuinely happy or putting up a front. I do agree with the anti thread that he's a walking skelly.

I agree he's hard to read, especially since everything is a front and he so rarely does any one-on-one content (vlives, etc., though even then of course he has to mitigate what he says).

the only reason I do that with Suga is because he's admitted to being depressed and either considered or attempted suicide before based on his lyrics.

yep compare those to pic related, which is very recent. He's turning himself into a goddamn dorito. I think he got the jaw shave because of his weight tbh, when he gains weight it goes right to his face and he's clearly insecure about it. I don't normally like nitpicking/overanalyzing idols' weight but the way he's constantly contradicting himself about food (saying "Oh I'm skinny because I forget to eat" or "I just don't enjoy eating" and then later saying stuff like "it's hard to diet, sometimes I get so hungry I can't sleep" or blatantly refusing food to avoid guilt over it later and calling himself overweight when he clearly isn't) is a red flag to me.

no offense but you guys are delusional. his jaw line is not from fillers because he jaw looks reduced. i had DOUBLE jaw surgery done and yes recovery is long and awful but suga just had a mandible jaw reduction which lots of idols have done (yoona, hyoyeon, yuri, wendy, etc). it wouldn't be as an invasive jaw surgery and the downtime for it isn't that long. look up celia and sonia from youtube. they had one done. when you guys hear jaw shave you're reading about double jaw orthognathic surgery which is a totally different beast.

Still feels a little weird without Jonghyun, but I liked the songs from this EP. They didn't fill his place, and the homages seemed well placed in the video. Definitely looking forward to the next one.

AOA's comeback was good, too. The aesthetic of the video was really lighthearted and fun. It felt like there'd be a hole without Choa but they filled the gaps pretty well.

The ticket sale for BTS in Berlin hasn't even started but it's already a mess. 2 days before the sale begins the pre-pre-sale gets cancelled and all the expensive tickets get even more expensive because of some fee that is only 10 euros in Amsterdam but 40 euros in Berlin, fml.

not 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.

I 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.

I have to say, seeing how angry and full of hate and/or confusion some people get about BTS makes me chuckle a bit. As someone who's looking at it from a pretty neutral POV, the people who autistically complain about them seem to me like mirror images of the rabid portion of the fans. At least the fans get some enjoyment out of this, what do the constant complaining artists get?

that’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.

I can kind of understand it tbh, BTS is massive right now and it seems like they're only going to get more popular. 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.

that'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
>>255665
you'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.

>tbh Mina and Tzuyu are the prettiest of the group
Nah, Tzuyu maybe but not Mina. Sana’s way prettier. There’s something really odd about Mina’s face to me; I think it has to do with her nose being kind of wide, her lips are really thin when she smiles and her teeth+gums are quite big by comparison? There’s just something uncanny about it imo. I don’t think she’s ugly at all, just kind of odd-looking for a Kpop idol.

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.html

In 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.

She definitely looked the prettiest at debut. 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.

Thankfully she isn’t terribly botched like what they did to poor Yuta a while back. He’s recovered fairly nicely from the horrifying whatever-implants though, I think, which is a relief.

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.

I 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?

I'm not sure how you define "strong" vocalists, but idols' with stronger singing abilities only really exhibit them on variety shows.

Kpop is the full package (cute girls/boys in cute clothes and cute dances), so vocals don't matter as much when it comes to the actual singles cause it's gonna sell whether or not you've got Whitney Houston levels of singing. 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. Equally good or equally bad doesn’t really matter as long as they’re equally equal.

BlackPink’s new song is here!! First impressions are I like it, the music video is amazing and there are some catchy parts to the song. This is more rap than singing so it’s not my favourite genre and I don’t think I like it more than ‘As if it’s your last’ but i think it will definitely grow on me.

Where? Honestly asking because I've never heard that before, might just be an unfortunate regional interpretation.

It's most likely a throwback/reference to patois/reggae (See Sister Nancy's "Bam Bam" which is an oft-sampled/covered classic and also has the line "whatta bum bum") because that kind of music is trendy right now.

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.

‘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.

I'm english and for me, bum bum is what a child calls their rear. I am used to hearing it in a different less babyish context in reggae, etc. But since BP are not from the carribbean and presumably don't know the first thing about patois it comes off as cringey to me. There's not even a hint of reggae flavour in the song anyway? It just seems weird and off to me, but I am definitely nitpicking.

The companies are probably afraid if they change the group will flop. Didn't that kinda happen with Gfriend? They changed things up from their early songs (Glassbead, Me gusta tu, Navillera)and cameout with Fingertip and their popularity kinda took a hit.

I became a Shawol a week before Jonghyun's death, but it's still had a great toll on me. Even now, I still can't watch anything SHINee related without getting upset, which is somewhat annoying as the only shinee content I've watched was during my first week.
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 don't think I'll ever forget that Sunday because of it

I understand why they are doing the comeback, and I think it's probably helping the band members through the rough times, but it is so tragic to me. It'll never be the same again. Idk why, I thought they would've disbanded.

Celebrity deaths usually don't affect me much, and I was never much a fan of SHINee (though I have gotten into them recently!) but something about his death really hurt. I guess because he just looked so sweet and happy in pictures/videos. Also his letter, like anon mentioned, was very relatable.

Kinda… random? But does anyone know Yeonwoo's true height? No way in hell she's only 169cm. Much like Tzuyu, they are probably lying about her height to make her more waifu material.

They also claim Jooe is 165cm, but she looks downright tiny next to Yeonwoo, so either they are lying about Jooe's or YW's height, and I think it's more likely to be YW's, since she pratically towers over the other girls. Her proportions are great, though.

Yeonwoo being taller than 169 cm would make her more qualified for modeling gigs. Assuming that they are, I don’t get why they’d need to lie about her height. Also I used to agree with Nancy being the visual but the more I look at Yeonwoo, the more captivating I find her.

Honestly I find both Yeonwoo and Jane to be prettier than Nancy. 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?

Yeah, DBSK had fans breaking into their dorms, they had a fake taxi service just to follow them around between schedules, they were sent period blood and had their phones tapped so they'd know if someone texted a girl.

Hm I haven’t heard this. BAP debuted nearly at the same as EXO. I liked them from the go: fun, weird concept, exciting albeit a little gimmicky music (but that’s par the course for kpop), Bang Yong-guk…but then they started releasing coffee-house lite music and they lost their concept. I don’t think they would have been as intensely popular as BTS because their concept/image was less rebellious and seen as fighting the “man.” BTS’s highlight for me was Run/The most beautiful moment in life, and then things went downhill I guess for mainstream appeal. Long rant aside, if BAP had a stronger image and more mature, cohesive approach from the start, I think they would’ve been more successful. But their company’s screwed them. My 2¢

I’ve really warmed to Jisoo in the time since BP debuted. Usually visuals are content with coasting by on beauty alone, but she’s really stepped up her vocals and has become more stable than the rest of her group.

agreed. i like that she has such a low, kinda soul-esque voice too since it’s not too common among kpop girl singers. rosé has such a high-pitched, overly saccharine voice that sounds like a little girl but i think jisoo kind of counterbalances that in a way that makes them sound interesting together. i think they compliment each other very well.

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.

i'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.

Who do you guys think it's going to be the next boy group to rise to fame? I'm betting on SEVENTEEN, mostly because their group dynamics remind me of BTS, they're good dances and I feel like having Woozi and Hoshi constantly helping in composing and choreographing for the group gives them a chance to stand out (not that they're the only idols that do but you get what I mean), that said I have this really strong feeling that at least one of the members is going to leave the group more sooner than later. I used to think MONSTA X had a better chance than SEVENTEEN but I feel like they still need to find their sound and image, while the latter needs another big hit like Mansae.

what little i’ve seen of seventeen i like. the only reason i fear their popularity exploding is that carats seem to be some of the more peaceful kpop fandoms and it would suck for them to become the next ratmys

monsta x is nice and i’d love for them to get more recognition. kihyun gives me pretty strong suga vibes, both visually and personality-wise, though he lacks that pissy attitude that i’ve seen people complain about suga for. i think it’s pretty cute that the two of them are friends too lol

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.

Edited: Apparently some retard was running around spreading false information so I had to correct it. Xiaojun was born in ‘99, not ‘90.

Here's the explanation for the word in Korea: https://namu.wiki/w/%EA%B9%9C%EB%91%A5%EC%9D%B4
If 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

>>269440

Here, 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've never seen a korean person write like that, but okay.

>so first jimin said the word "깜둥이" which is a korean racial slur. HOWEVER. IT CAN MEAN DIFFERENT THINGS IN DIFFERENT CONTEXT. he said the word to jungkook, saying jimin himself is gonna get tan because of being in the sun so much. the word "둥이" means cute/lovely person. for example:

>귀염둥이: cute person
>트둥이: twice cuties (nickname for twice members
>As you can see 둥이 mean cute person."깜" means black, derived from the word "껌정색" which means the color black. So what jimin did was add "깜" and "둥이" to get "깜둥이" which would mean "cute black person" literally, but he meant he's gonna get tan, so he's referring to himself as a cute person with black skin. NOT A RACIAL SLUR. HE WASNT TRYING TO OFFEND ANYONE OR BE RACIST
They're constantly complaining or mocking each other for getting tan, do I highly doubt he'd call himself with a tan 'cute'.

>and honestly why would jimin ever say a racial slur about black people?he has no reason to be racist to them or be hateful. y'all remember Tony and chimchim?? jimin loved that guy. SO CONCLUSION: SIT DOWN AND STOP ACCUSING JIMIN OF RACISM OK thx for coming to my ted talk

Nothing can save yellow hair, and it doesn't look good on him. He looks so much better with dark hair.

Or maybe I just like natural hair colors on idols.

Renjun is so pretty ugh. I hate whoever gave him that brassy mustard blonde hair. Hope it fades to something at least marginally better.

New TWICE japanese song. The intro actually made me think for a second it was going to be interesting, but no, it's the same cutesy sounding voices and repetitive dance hook "Let's go!".

I got into NCT during Boss era but even having seen all the hairstyles/colors he’s had before (and now after) that I still think he looks the best with dark, blood red hair. Yes it’s Hot Topic MCR teen angst edgy but Taeyong’s overall look just screams that anyway so it fits perfectly imo lol.

Everyone looked amazing during Boss era. The styling was ridiculously nice too imo. I wonder if they kicked out their old stylist.

He's probably the only idol that in my opinion could pull off pink hair. He looked the best in Cherry Bomb era.

Also, I hate to say this because I love Taeyong but is he looking weird to anyone else lately? I think he did something to his chin, it looks larger and I hate it.

He has one of the most beautiful faces in my opinion, even if some people here found him odd or weird looking. I guess I'll have to prepare myself for him to RUIN it completely.

I haven’t really thought about it? I love Taeyong but for his personality, not his looks. I think he looks amazing in certain styling and when he does no-one compares but without that I find other members nicer to look at. Now that you mentioned it I won’t be able to not look for it lol.

Also while we’re still nutting over best styling for NCT members, Doyoung looked so amazing in the Chain MV. That perfectly mussed hair styling framed his face nicely; I wish he’d kept it forever. He looked like some kind of doll to me, as tacky as that sounds lol.

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.

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 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

It’s part of the reason why I like him so much. He has so many little conflicting quirks and qualities that it’s impossible to pin him down as anything really. He’s just Renjun. It’s very endearing IMO.

I looked for some more recent pictures and you may be right, or maybe he had fillers and it was swollen? But for a couple of months I did see him off. Especially on this photoshoot, his face looks so long there.

Yeah, I felt the same way about their last comeback (which I actually liked more, it was less generic). Lowkey wish they'd graduate the current dreamies and go back to songs like chewing gum. Seeing a boy group sing such cutesy stuff was a big part of why I liked dream.

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.

My favorite in NCT will always be Taeyong, but I remember really liking Doyoung in the Seventh sense video. The little eyebrow raise had me like hello theeere. As well as his voice.

Did anyone else really like the styling of Seventh Sense? A lot of fans always highlight all styling prior to Boss as terrible, but I really liked it. The outfit Mark had with the yellow sleeves was so cute on him too. All the concept photos are so good and I actually have some of them as my Desktop background.

I feel awful for this but I have a slight distaste towards Lucas…I can see how he draws people in and that he’s a sweet and nice person overall but something about his egocentric and loud personality just repels me from liking him.

oh 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.

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.

I wouldn't be surprised if they printed more of one member than another tbh but wouldn't they have more of printing less of the popular ones so crazy fans but 20 albums to get the right photobook?

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!

What really irks me is that the 'right' photobook never guarantees good photocards - with the Turbulence album I got the most awkward looking card of Yugyeom and nobody wants to take it off me, fml

Agree, 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.

I'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?

No. 294494

Isn'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.

Didn't Ten once say something about him "having a new friend" on a Vlive? Maybe he just meant a new member, and not a Thai one. Or I'm remembering that wrong.

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

Xiaojun 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 really think XJ lead vocal will be if ten isn't in the group and maybe they'll both be lead if he is. Kun has a nice voice (as seen in the Chinese version of Without You), so does renjun, but I doubt they'll get it. I want it to be Chenle, but there's no way they'll give it to him. I kind of doubt the other new boys are as good as him, so that just leaves him.

I know nothing of Kun, he's the oldest so I'm guessing he'll be the leader, even though he doesn't give me Leader vibes. Maybe Lucas since he's really popular right now.

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.

Lol, yes, now that you mention it I don't see Lucas a the leader either. He's the most teenager like of the bunch, Kun is the better choice.

And yes, more Hendery please. I hope his video is next. Yang gives me "happy virus" vibes, although I hate that stupid term and I hope he's not like that. It alway comes across as super fake to me, like J-hope. It must be such a burden on the idol to act happy all the time.

Kun and Doyoung are the most motherlike in NCT and although Doyoung doesn’t give me leader vibes whatsoever I do think Kun has a lot of potential. He reminds me of a single mom who has to play both the dad and mom roles at the same time lol dy is more of a mom-mom

>I also lowkey hate the name, also hate WinWin as a name. Or Bangbang. Come on, they're grown men people, stop giving them silly names.
Yangyang is his real name… He mentioned in his note or w/e that he never had a nickname because people just assumed his real name was a nickname lmao
also ‘winwin’ and ‘bambam’ are cute af especially knowing winwin is yuta’s winko<3 but they do sound really childish lol. didn’t bambam become that kid’s “real” nickname since using a thai person’s real name is considered rude though?

Now Hendery on the other hand.

I’ve already claimed Hendery as my goth gf but I have to admit I have no fucking idea why they gave him an obscure surname as a stage name

Like I get Guanheng/Kunhang is a mouthful but couldn’t they have thought of something more… Not-Hendery? tho if hendery is actually his real international name i’ll feel rly bad for clowning him for it

I can just image them performing this live, how uncomfortable would that be? lol and not because they are "pure angels" (I hate fans that think that way) but because this is sooo cringe. Even Haechan looked really uncomfortable on that video where he was reading the lyrics.

ikr 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 adorableness
i 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. (like you said, it’s a conflicting feeling lol.)

When 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.

Damn 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.

I’m the opposite, I thought the cute vid was perfect for him. He has seemed kind of stone-faced since being revealed but his personal note and predebut pics show that he seems to have a quirky, lively and fun personality.

>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.
His eyes are super pretty and his features are so soft and cute, truly a high quality twink. He reminds me of a cute little animal like a cat or something lol. Also that mimicking the sound of a cat’s belly :’)

>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 times
It’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?

Oh my god you're right, I don't know why I never realized it, it's super obvious but I never paid much attention to his nose before. That's horrible, I really hope they don't touch it again and it grows correctly.

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.

I saw the Weekly Idol episode with NCT Dream, and I was shocked that Renjun admited SM gave him the "pure boy" persona before he debuted lol. I'm not saying they don't act like themselves most of the time, but idols clearly have an image forced on them and they follow it.

I 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.

GOT7 had a comeback, and I was surpised that I actually liked the song. I was more surprised that there's a Spanish version. Why do this?? It really makes you realize the biggest appeal to kpop is that you can't understand what they're saying. When it's your native language it just sounds so terrible. Also it's like a direct Google Translate version, the lines sound so stiff and awkward.

Yeah really disappointing pics. I'm hoping they get some better ones for each member, they always have good solo pictures. But I'm still annoyed at the all-black.

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.

i feel like i’m the only person on here who liked touch, maybe not for all members but for mark and hyuck it worked since they’re soft qt dreamies so it felt natural, taeil’s styling may have actually been the nicest i’ve seen him and winwin looked soooooo adorable in his berets. then again win is the most moe member after junguwu but still.

Same anon you replied to. I didn't find Touch a bad song at all, and some of the styling was cute but overall the lve stages where kind of cringy and the group as a whole doesn't suit soft songs to me. They shine so much more with hard choreo and hard hitting songs. Taeil heart moments where kind of cute but also cringe, and Mark and TY felt so uncomfortable interacting cutely when they sang together on lives lol, I don't get why they were sto awkward I figured they were close.

When it came out I liked it since it's a good song, but the dance and the Gap like MV was kind of disappointing after a few watches.

Only good thing was this close up of TY that killed me at first watch.

I 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.

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.

This is a perfect example of a song that didn't require such a fast paced and complicated dance. I wish kpop groups enjoyed themselves more in stage instead of following step by step. I don't mean not dancing, let's be honest they're not the best singers or performers so they need the choreos. But at least make it less fast paced, also there's NO way they can actually sing with those moves.

I also lowkey hate the lullaby move they do (hands on head like sleeping), it's so cheesy and out of place with the rest of the choreo.

okay 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.

same. most female-dominated fanbases are like that, it's one of the many things that makes them so much better imo. males shamelessly sexualize the fuck out of underage female idols and virtually no one in their fandoms will bat an eye, while females don't tolerate it nearly as much.

kek the anons in the critical thread were exposing us for supporting the dreamies when truth is the nct fandom as a whole is extremely protective of them and attacks anyone who tries to say anything even remotely in the direction of sexualizing them. since the group is relatively new i also feel like the fans who’ve been around for a while have learned from the mistakes and toxicity of older fandoms.

i absolutely agree with you that male fans of girl groups tend to be gross as hell while fandoms made up mainly by women tend to have actual standards. ratmys are a different thing altogether though but they’re an extreme case and sane armys do exist.

I mentioned the same a while ago, his face looks different to me. I'm thinking it's mostly the fact his current style doesn't suit him. Or maybe he gained some weight? 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.

I did an edit to see if he looked better with the paler skin and other hair color/no mullet. Lol really shitty photoshop but I tried. He looks ten times better in my opinion.

It'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.

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

pls don't judge, but does anyone know of a place (an imageboard preferably) where i can dicuss BTS without facing a) rabid, delulu fujo fans or b) the oftentimes unwarranted vitriol of the critical board?
i typically lurk in the latter because it's obvious that most of the girls there are ex-fans, or have at least have an above-average knowledge about the group, but it has started to bum me out because i genuinely like them. i think that being able to partake in criticism is a good thing and i appreciate that no one there blindly worships them like everywhere else on the internet, and the memeing can be hilarious, but i'd prefer a more neutral ground where i can talk about… well, liking them, too. maybe there are others out there like me? saging for unpopular opinion nonetheless.

Well this is the Kpop general thread, I'm not sure why you're not sharing your views here? I haven't seen people shitting on BTS like in the Critical thread. People are mostly talking about NCT, but at the start several people talked about BTS members and nobody got heat for it. Me personally I'm kind of tired of BTS on both ends, the exaggerated "Oh Jimin is the ugliest person ever" of the Critical thread and the "BTS is the best group ever uwu" from every other site/youtuber.

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.

I don't like them much since BST, that was the last comeback I liked, and not for the song, for the esthetics, dance, etc.

I do admit I talk some shit about them in the other thread but it’s mainly the fandom and overhype and not the members themselves.

The fans you're talking about are so annoying, these people who see BTS above all the other K-pop groups attack you when you criticize BTS. I like BTS and I still follow them but their music hasn't been the best lately, you can't talk about this anywhere without armys losing their minds.

I'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 still like their music, but i'll admit that wings was their last good album. for instance, i think the best songs on ly:a are probably euphoria, serendipity, and trivia: seesaw… the rest are a different story. i liked j-hope's mixtape as a whole much more.

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.

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.

I 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.

I 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.

He 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.

Honestly 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

I 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.

If 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

Yeah 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.

RM 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.

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 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.

I 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.

He 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.

so 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

it’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

Is 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.

I 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.

Yeah, 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

That'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!

Most of the members really do get shafted. I'm so ready for another season of nct life so we can finally see all 18 (or 21, I guess) of them fuck around together.

shout out to this episode of the seoul x nct life series where yuta made himself look like a complete retard for a full minute starting @ 2:35. this was incredibly hard to watch.

LOL, I can't believe Lucas was able to laugh silently, that boy is LOUD. Poor Yuta, such a good dancer but so awkward, it was still more funny than cringe to me lol. Also YAY more Kun! I want to see more of him, I wonder if we'll need to wait for NCT China for an actual MV with him.

Anyone going to create the new thread? I vote this as OP photo :3 >>298848

Now that the dust has settled, how you guys think Produce 48 went?

I was actually surprised with only 3 japanese. And the center upset. glad Chaeyeon got in at the end though.

You pretty much know who is going to win from the start. Sakura was 100% going to get in, no doubt about that.

yeah Choi Yoojung was center in 101 and came third, so thats not really surprise.

Was surprised Jang Wonyoung got 1st though.

Anyone listened to PLT? I've seen some reactors check them out. They are sooo good and really make you see how idol groups don't really put music first. One of the solo artists is Villain and I initially though his name was so stupid, so I was expecting a "I'm thug" wannabe, but his voice is sooooo good.

Link to his EP. All the members from PLT are all really good honestly.

And the MV most people have been reacting to lately. They're not an idol group, but several solo artists collaborating.

I feel that the producers of the show changed their mind last minute, if they said 3 Japanese members from the beginning maybe my fav Yiren would've had a chance. I wish she won

i've watched a few episodes so far and the way johnny and mark speak makes me cringe, "yo yo yo let's go let's get it let's go", do native speakers normally talk like that? i'm esl, so maybe that's just me lol

SM posted a highlight video for upcoming NCT 127 album. It sounds pretty good. Regular sounds kind of sexy, so I'm hyped for some cool choreography and shots of the group. I'm happy it doesn't sound too latin.

Anyone creating new thread? I'm not familiar on how to do it.

I'm so glad I found this image board.

I've been a fan of Suga since last year(?) His song, "The Last", was the reason I finally sought therapy. So of course I pay attention to him.

When I pointed out how dead he looks when Fake Love came out the fans were all "Well, you don't smile all the time either, do you"

His face looks so different now (he ruined himself) yet I didn't see a single comment about it. When I said I didn't recognize him in some of his newer photos I was attacked by the rabid armys: "OMG that's called not knowing what he looks like!" and "When did he have time to get any surgery, huh!"

I know how delulu fans can get, but I didn't know they were blind too.(new thread)
